Chapter 498 begins
Li Chen has always been open-minded, and his down-to-earth approach is better than anything else.
The Wu family didn't expect that Wu Mei was so supportive of Chang'an, and even asked them to use part of the Wu family's resources for Chang'an.
Wu Yuanqing was very confused when he received Wu Mei's message, and he couldn't understand his sister's thoughts at all.
The explanation given by Wu Mei is also very simple.
She's helping the martial arts.
Wu Mei felt that Princess Chang'an might take advantage of the east wind to enhance the status of women and sit on the throne in one fell swoop.
There is no harm in investing early.
Wu Yuanqing was extremely entangled by Wu Mei's words.
That's right.
So what about Li Chen?
Regarding this question, Wu Mei's reply was that if Princess Chang'an became the emperor, then Li Chen would most likely be pushed to the position of prime minister by Li Kuan, which is now Li Chengqian's position.
This location is also important.
The samurai family was excited when they heard this reply.
If the first and second characters of the Tang Dynasty in the next era are all related to their martial arts, then their martial arts family will not be awesome.
The samurai family did not hesitate to invest decisively in Princess Chang'an.
For a time, Princess Chang'an's resources exploded.
Because she has been in Chang'an all the year round, she has contacts with many young ladies from Chang'an powerful families.
After Shangguan Wan'er knew that she was competing for the throne, she decisively brought her family's resources to support her.
Shangguan Yi is a daughter slave, and he doesn't care about dividing the resources accumulated by his family into a part of his daughter.
Moreover, Shangguan Yi is still the boss of the three provinces, and Princess Chang'an has the support of the insiders of the three provinces through Shangguan Wan'er's relationship.
Cool crooked.
Princess Chang'an felt that she was too fierce.
The next step is to use commerce to radiate the entire Tang world.
She has an advantage.
The business of the princess circle is already very big and fierce, and her tentacles are stretched out very quickly.
In particular, there are many large-scale transactions with the West in the business of the princess circle, so that people from the Eastern Roman Empire are also willing to cooperate with her.
Large-scale transactions have always been small profits and quick turnover, and they are the largest profit chain between countries.
Many businessmen in the West chose to support part of the future after learning that Princess Chang'an had the right to inherit the throne or the throne of the Tang Emperor, and that it was very likely that she would ascend the throne as emperor in the future.
In the past, they all supported Li Ke's son.
Because Li Ke's son has been mixing Europe all the year round, they can get in touch.
With the support of Westerners, Princess Chang'an gave full play to the advantages of standing on the top of the world for resource mobilization.
She decided to set up a jewelry and diamond company.
A large number of mathematicians were recruited to cut diamonds.
After the sparkling diamonds were transported from the West to the Tang Dynasty, they quickly became popular in the upper echelons of the Tang world.
In the past, Li Ke and other new Sui Dynasty made a few stone mines in Europe and used them as private seals.
No way, the Han people have liked to play with private seals since ancient times.
This is a useless and luxurious series of products.
The establishment of the jewelry company has successfully driven a large number of luxury jewelry industries.
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is to let others see the abilities of Princess Chang'an.
This kind of direct indication of the hope of the new industry that I can bring has made many people put away their little peeps at her.
The personal impact that jewelry companies bring is also enormous.
Every time the upper class plays with diamond rings, they will definitely think of the name of Princess Chang'an.
Chang'an's influence and popularity will rise.
Li Kuan sighed at Chang'an's decisiveness.
After this success, Chang'an quickly recruited a group of young ladies in Chang'an City to set up a design company.
A large number of new clothes have been designed, branded, and sold all over the world.
Even the industries involved in the princess circle have been upgraded.
Garment factories are also creating a large number of jobs.
The emergence of designer positions and design awards has improved the status of women to a certain extent.
Chang'an never thought of letting men enter the industry from the beginning.
In her thoughts.
Let's talk about the woman after eating the benefits first.
Clothes can communicate the world's cultures.
Those young designers are all from famous families, and they can usually get in touch with a lot of knowledge through their families, including local ethnic cultures.
They carried out the integration of various clothing cultures, and successfully led to the cultural integration and development of the Tang world.
To put it bluntly, it is similar to Hufu riding and shooting.
Princess Chang'an is famous all over the world because of her jewelry company and ready-to-wear design.
The jobs she has brought, the ability of women to work, etc., have made everyone look at her with admiration.
Let everyone put away their underestimation of her.
After doing these two things, Chang'an quickly relied on its own industry and royal identity to transform the industrial layout of some local counties.
No matter how the times develop, there are always some places that can't keep up.
Chang'an began to spend time observing and transforming them.
If you can't come up with your own characteristics, then take the route of processing and manufacturing.
Take a part of the production line out of the production line and create jobs for them.
Transform from the local layout in the overall layout.
Divide it layer by layer, so as to achieve the route of the first rich and the latter rich.
Moreover, Chang'an proposed the reform of the distribution of large chambers of commerce.
Some local chambers of commerce let the local government collect its own taxes.
In this way, the local government can have an important source of wealth.
Let the pressure on local finances be eased, and practical transformation can be carried out.
There was immediate opposition to this approach.
A large part of the tax revenue collected by the large chambers of commerce is the elimination of corruption.
After all, the officials of the central government are very greedy.
Chang'an's objection is simple.
Then do the inspection team well.
The annual tax revenue of a large chamber of commerce can be seen from the financial reports it publishes.
There is also the sale of its goods, etc.
And the taxes he paid were not right with his actual situation, and the local government could not provide evidence of where the money was spent, so someone was sent to investigate.
Enterprises that evade taxes and evade taxes can be examined on the spot and dissolved.
Anyway, there are many people who want to be replaced.
The officers who covered were all sent in.
The meaning of Chang'an is very simple, now it is a radish and a pit, your radish is broken, dare to pit the country and the people, sorry, you just die.
Simple and hassle-free.
The approach, although overbearing, does fit the characteristics of this era.
Especially in line with the starting point of the royal family.
In this era, if you evade taxes, you can say that you are cheating the royal family.
That is, the money of the Li family.
If you cheat the country's money, someone will cover for you, after all, everyone is a part-time worker, so there is no need to do too much.
But you're a personal person, sorry, we're not going to show mercy.
Li Kuan is optimistic about Chang'an, so start to implement it from the place to see the effect.
Oh, it should be executed from the fiefdom of Princess Chang'an.
After Chang'an got the right to inherit the throne, Li Kuan gave her her fief, and she was also a princess with a personal fief.
The princesses before basically did not have a personal fiefdom.
It's just that there is a fief that can be taxed, and the kind that will be returned to the state when people die.
Chang'an was happy to learn that Li Kuan had allowed his ideas to be carried out within his fiefdom.
It was the first time she had made a political move.
He thanked Li Kuan for his escort.
Without Li Kuan's permission, her idea would not have been implemented.
Although it is only a trial within its own fiefdom.
If the action is too big, it is easy to shake the country's capital.
The reason why the central authorities are sometimes slow to decide on a matter is that it needs to be examined again and again, otherwise it is easy to shake the country's foundation.
It is impossible to make a decision and immediately implement it throughout the country.
