When everyone heard this condition, they nodded without hesitation and agreed, because this condition was already expected by them! The only thing they have doubts about is that they don't know who this person from Ann *** is and whether they can get along well!

In fact, this candidate Liu Haojia has preliminarily decided on Liu Dahai, who he met in Macau, and now he is helping the Santos family to establish a shipyard in Dengzhou! Liu Haojia has two shipyards in Dengzhou, which have now been merged into one shipyard, and he has invested a sum of money to expand it again! Now the first warship with a mixture of Eastern and Western technologies has appeared on the drawings! Look at the book

Liu Haojia saw that they accepted the conditions, and then said, "The third thing is that you have to pay for and pay people to collect the orphans you can see. You don't have to deliberately look for them, you can bring them back when you encounter them, and then hand them over to the official, who will place them and raise them slowly. And in this matter each of you shall pay two thousand taels of silver a year."

When these people heard this, they looked at each other with solemn faces, obviously hesitating! In their minds, Liu Haojia is cultivating dead soldiers since he was a child, does he want to rebel?

Liu Haojia knew what they were thinking when he saw their expressions, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys probably want to be crooked! You can rest assured, this official is now a good official, and he has no intention of rebelling! But let my father-in-law talk to you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shunping glared at them fiercely and said, "Don't think about any things like accumulating the dead, cultivating fine work, etc.! Wu Ningbo is a nobleman, resting with the country, where is the need to do this? This is to cultivate the foundation of your own family! So that there will be available manpower in the future!"

At that moment, Zhang Shunping told Liu Haojia about taking in orphans in Beijing to raise and educate them, and then said: "You have all seen the six family members behind the uncle just now, that is one of the orphans who were collected back then! Among those children, those who are suitable will go to the uncle's office as an errand, and those who are inferior will go to the trading room to do the bookkeeping and be a big guy, and in a few years, these people will be big and small shopkeepers! If there is really a porcelain stupidity, then go and be a buddy, a coolie, and if you can't do it, you can be an ordinary domestic servant! Uncle did this so that the family business would grow in the future, so that someone could help manage it, after all, only those who were raised since childhood were loyal! And, and most importantly, do good! You must know that God has the virtue of a good life, and only by doing good deeds can you be blessed with profoundness, Ze and your descendants!"

After listening to Zhang Shunping's explanation, these people finally put their minds at ease and apologized to Liu Haojia together! And said that they will definitely do this kind of good deed seriously! And Zhao Yongxu also said: "Uncle, there are many orphans these years, and a few of us can not only donate silver, but also add an extra thousand taels of silver!" I just ask the uncle to let go, so that the inferior can also choose some useful people!"

Liu Haojia naturally nodded in agreement at this point, but he didn't think that they could pick out the best people, because following an uncle or following a businessman has a great future, and everyone can tell the difference! Even if a small number of people are tempted away by money and women, it has nothing to do with the overall situation!

Then Liu Haojia said: "There is also the most important thing that this official wants to make clear to you, not only do you have to remember, but also tell the people you know, and even your children and grandchildren! Because this official will unswervingly carry this matter forward!"

Everyone knew that this was the last thing Liu Haojia was going to say, so everyone's expressions became serious. I only heard Liu Haojia say slowly: "Shinong businessman, businessman is the last in line. And it was portrayed as a greedy and mean image, and was even oppressed by officials at all levels, and was looked down upon! However, the official believes that the merchant is very useful to the society and the country, so in the future, the official will work to improve the status of the merchant and let them have the same rights as ordinary people!"

A few people were stunned after hearing this, and then their eyes turned red! Even Zhang Shunping's mood fluctuates greatly! Because businessmen are really hard in this day and age!

How low is their status? It's so low that they're pigs!

When it comes to small business, anyone can extort money from them! Like the street vendors, they have to deal with splashes and errands! If he has a big business and has his own shop, all he needs to deal with is gangs and clerks!

If the business grows bigger, they will have to deal with the local officials

member, it is completely a state of passive blood drawing! And as their size increases, the level of vampires will get higher and higher! And those of high status have a great appetite because their families are big and need more silver!

After listening to Liu Haojia's statement, several people got up excitedly and bowed their hands! Zhao Yongxu still said with red eyes, "Uncle is the one who really understands us! Over the years, no one has ever regarded us businessmen as human beings! The officials just treat us as money bags, which come and go as soon as they are called! Once we are squeezed clean, it will be time for our people to perish! I've waited to thank my uncle!"

Zhang Xiwen also said, "Uncle can say these words, it can be seen that he knows our hardship! I will serve with all my heart in the future, and I will never have two hearts!"

Liu Haojia waved for them to sit down, and then continued, "But if you want to improve the status of a businessman, you can't do it overnight! So not only yourselves, but also other merchants must do what the officials say!"

Zhang Xiwen arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the uncle to command, I will be respectful!"

Liu Haojia said: "First of all, you have to pay taxes, and they are heavy taxes! Don't just say that those officials oppress you, you also use their power to evade taxes, so it's also wrong! But don't talk about this today, just talk about paying taxes, you can tell anyone that if you run a business here and pay taxes, then this official will protect you from being bullied!"

Several people thought quickly when they heard this, and at this moment, their businessman's temperament occupied the peak again! After several people glanced at each other, Zhang Xiwen said cautiously, "Uncle, I don't know how much tax you have to pay? Is it according to the rules of the dynasty?"

Liu Haojia laughed and said, "It is said that businessmen must compete with each other, and you are really like this! According to the rules of the dynasty, thirty taxes and one tax, when is that the old rule! The official clearly tells you that the tax rate is not uniform here in the official! Heavy taxes are levied on the profits of goods going to sea, and at least eight taxes and one tax! Ordinary goods 1 thirteen tax one! Fifteen tax one on thin profits! And this is only tentative, it will be adjusted according to the actual situation! As for the normal trading in the country, all thirteen taxes and one!"
