Soon, the Hebrew Earl got better, and the healing effect of penicillin shocked all the people of Fanbang.

Hebrew brought Xiuduo gifts and personally came to thank him, and Li Changfeng made a small profit.

A few days later, the materials purchased by Benjamin were loaded into the ship one after another, and they left the capital in a mighty way.

The deal is closed.

Emperor Qianwu had been watching this transaction for a long time, and he abandoned the traditional way of collecting taxes, and after consulting with Li Changfeng, he implemented a new tax method - customs duties.

With the rapid development of the cadres, the volume of foreign trade transactions will become larger and larger, and it is necessary to establish a suitable taxation system, which is very important for the future development of the cadres.

This new tax system will make Li Changfeng lose a lot of money, but he doesn't care, money is just a string of numbers for him now.

The most important thing is that his interests are closely related to the big cadre, and a powerful big cadre is attached to his interests.

Li Changfeng's move was tantamount to taking the initiative to cut meat, which made Emperor Qianwu very satisfied.

"Stinky boy, it's rare that you are so generous this time, and you didn't even mess with me because of the silver."

"Father, isn't it for the sake of scientific research that the sons and daughters earn so much silver? One day, Erchen will be no longer interested in scientific research, and it is estimated that he will not be interested in making money. ”

This is Li Changfeng's heartfelt words.

His goal now is to get nuclear weapons out, which will require the development of a series of related industries, and the cost is incalculable.

When the nuclear weapons are developed, he may have no other goals.

At that time, he was no longer young, and there was no need to continue to work hard to earn money, and starting a leisurely retirement life was the only thing to do.

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu was anxious.

"Don't, I like you to make money the most."

Li Changfeng smiled, didn't answer this question, and reminded: "Father, don't forget to collect taxes and silver from several other wealthy merchants according to the tariff system. ”

This time, most of Benjamin's purchases were his goods, and a small part were other materials of the Great Qian, such as silk, etc., and the amount was also staggering.

Emperor Qianwu nodded and said: "Don't worry, you have taken the lead, I just took advantage of the situation to promote the tariff system, and these people are indispensable for a penny of tax silver." ”

……

According to the requirements of Emperor Qianwu, Li Changfeng was very high-profile when he paid the tax and silver, pulled it in a carriage, and the box containing the silver was not covered, and he swaggered through the city and went straight to the household department.

Passers-by were amazed when they saw this scene.

When he came to the entrance of the household department, the person who gave the silver shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince has sent 1,873,651 taels of foreign trade tax silver, please check and accept it from the household department!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were amazed.

"Oh my God, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes handed over one million taels of silver to the household department last time, how long has it been, and more than one million 8.8 million have been handed over!"

"I have paid so much in taxes and silver alone, how much silver does Your Highness have to earn!"

"That number must be something we can't even think of, I didn't look at the refined salt tea beer or anything, loaded one ship after another, and most of them are the goods of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes."

"With the status of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, what can you do if you don't pay a cent? He did this, which is enough to show that he cares about the country and the society and regards money as dung. ”

"Isn't it, His Royal Highness Jingyan almost doesn't make much money, selling penicillin from abroad for ten taels and twenty taels, and only selling us ten cents!"

“……”

Taking advantage of the sensation caused by Li Changfeng's payment of such an astonishing amount of tax silver, Emperor Qianwu proposed tariffs in addition to the tax and the gate tax, and standardized the tax system for foreign trade.

In this regard, no one in the government and the opposition stood up to express opposition.

Anyway, the benefit of this tax system is the state, and the individual who loses is Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng himself didn't say anything, they objected to anything.

This move also made Li Changfeng's image in the minds of civil and military officials even higher, especially Chen Dingyuan, the head of the household department, who was eager to offer Li Changfeng as an ancestor.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

It's the middle of winter, and it's freezing cold.

The days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark early.

On this day, it was late at night, and the whole capital was plunged into darkness, only the sporadic lights were lit, and it looked extremely quiet.

And Li Changfeng's mansion was brightly lit and lively at this time.

Bingbing cheered: "Wow, it's bright, it's really bright, it's amazing!" ”

Xiaotong danced excitedly: "With the electric light in the house, I won't have to be afraid of the dark at night in the future!" ”

The two of them are used to seeing Li Changfeng come up with all kinds of novelties from time to time.

Chunni was different, when she saw the light bulb lit up with her own eyes, her pretty face, which had always been unwavering, was full of disbelief at this time.

"He actually did...... This electric light is like a small sun, it is amazing! ”

"Is this really something that a mortal can do? Is it really like the folklore, Li Changfeng is a god who can't come into the world? ”

With the advent of electric lights, Chunni's worldview was violently impacted.

Li Changfeng's expression was calm, and he was even faintly disappointed.

The light emitted by tungsten filaments is yellow, Li Changfeng doesn't like this kind of light, he likes white light.

That's it, the key is that the light is still very weak, compared to the fluorescent lamp and LED light he used in his previous life, it is simply too bad.

However, it would be nice to be able to make a lamp in this world.

Li Changfeng thought for a while, asked people to continue laying wires, hung two lamps at the door of the mansion, and fell asleep after playing with the excited women for a while.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, the streets were already filled with pedestrians, most of whom were vendors who came out early to make a living.

The location of Li Changfeng's mansion is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, and there are many people passing by at the door.

Wu Laosan is a middle-aged man with a 70-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed, so he got up early and pushed the breakfast cart to occupy the stall.

When he passed by the door of Li Changfeng's mansion, he was attracted by the bright light at the door, and couldn't help but look over, and subconsciously whispered: "Why are the lanterns of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors' house so bright." ”

When he saw clearly what was hanging at the door, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"This ...... What is it?! ”

At this time, other passers-by also gathered at the door, and they all stopped to watch.

"Is this a lantern? Why is it so bright? ”

"What lantern, have you ever seen a fist-sized lantern?"

"No way, this is definitely not a lantern, how can a normal lantern be so bright, do you see a candle inside?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes was descended from the world, this can't be the sun he caught, right?"

"Don't talk about it, it must be His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes who has made a new invention!"

"That's right, you all watch, the truth will be revealed soon, maybe it won't be long before we can use such a bright light!"
