Chapter 249 - Payment of Taxes

Hua Tingqian immediately began to gather craftsmen in the city to prepare for the start of construction, and in order to attract more people, he specially increased the wage by 30%.

In this regard, Wang Qizhi did not say much, after all, the life of the people is not easy, and if you give more, you will give more, and you should do good deeds.

After the distribution of money and the execution of those who committed crimes, the camp established a high prestige among the people, so that in front of the court, there was simply a hundred responses, and seven or eight hundred craftsmen in the city actively came to build the camp station.

Just when the camp was about to build a camp, another good news came, this guy sent someone to release the silver ticket of 100,000 taels, but Wang Qizhi couldn't be happy about it, because he hadn't had time to tell Erdan about it, since this guy knew about it, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Wang Xuan.

Don't look at Wang Xuanming's slogan of recovering the abyss, in fact, he is just using this as an excuse to buy people's hearts, so as to unify the world and ascend to the throne.

Now that the emperor is dead, Wang Qizhi's identity will naturally be revealed, and now the whole world already knows the fact that His Royal Highness the prince is still alive, and after Wang Xuan unifies southern Xinjiang, he may have to take action against the Relief Camp and Wang Qizhi, so he can't sit still, and he will definitely expand the strength of the Relief Camp, so that Wang Xuan does not dare to do it easily.

For the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, Wang Qizhi naturally guessed that this was Wang Xuan's handiwork, and wanted to use this to buy the hearts of the people in the camp to solve the troubles, and the former naturally accepted it unceremoniously, and now the camp is short of money, don't do it in vain, but he didn't make the matter public, so as not to fall into Wang Xuan's calculations.

In the next few days, Hua Tingqian invited several cooks in the city, and ordered a large amount of food in the major shops, including grain, meat, all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, and wine, all of which were as rich as going to a restaurant.

Hua Ting knew in his heart that only by being kind to these craftsmen would their craftsmen work hard.

These meals can keep these artisans fed, but the amount of wine is limited, so you can drink less in the morning and noon, and drink as you like when you get off work in the afternoon, in case these artisans drink too much and delay their work.

Wang Qizhi decided to wait until the remaining brethren of the Liberation Camp arrived here, and then he would hold a meeting to discuss the next general, and then he would go into retreat and prepare to break through to the middle of the heavens.

After that incident, all the people in the camp did not dare to bully the people in the vicinity, gave money for meals, and did not disturb the lives of the people in the vicinity except for patrolling every day, which made them speak highly of the camp in high esteem.

Since the camp had just been stationed in the city, and it had only accepted some relatively simple tasks, which were not enough for the expenses of the brothers, the king decided to collect some of the people's expenses appropriately, which should be regarded as taxes.

The money paid by these people is not very much, but it is less than one-tenth of the tax revenue of Miaojiang, the average person is only twenty copper plates per month, and the tax revenue of the entire city is only more than two thousand taels of silver per month, which is just enough to relieve the food of more than 20,000 people in the camp.

Besides, it was a bargain to use twenty copper plates to get the protection of such a powerful sect from the bandits in the vicinity.

The local rich gentry even felt that it was too faceless to pay such a little tax, in order to show favor to this huge sect, that is, they were willing to pay an extra thousand taels of silver every month, who knew that they were rejected by the king, because these rich gentry knew what shit to pout their butts, and the camp really accepted the money, and the economic situation was solved, but they took advantage of this to do nonsense, as the saying goes, the hands are short, and the mouths are short, and then these gentry and tyrants will talk about it, and the camp will really have nothing to do with them.

At the same time, the king abandoned it and sent someone to tell these local tyrants and gentry to be honest and not to violate the rules set by the camp of relief, otherwise they should not blame their subordinates for showing no mercy.

After those local tyrants and gentry knew about this, they were a little angry in their hearts, and scolded these local buns for not being knowledgeable, but they couldn't help it, their arms couldn't twist their thighs, so they had to accept it silently.

In order to make the camp have more sources of income, Wang Qizhi sent people to buy many shops in the city and sent some people to do business.

Of course, they didn't take advantage of the purchase of these shops, but offered reasonable prices for the people to sell their shops voluntarily.

Wang Qizhi also decided that when there was enough money in the future, he would build Chengjun into a big city, so that more people would come to settle down and more merchants would come to do business, so that they would have better development.

At this moment, Sun Xiangman found Wang Qizhi with a drawing, and said: "Abandon it, this is the construction drawings of the station, I want you to take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, let the guy in front of Huating modify it." ”

Wang Qizhi looked at the drawings carefully, and according to the drawings above, it can be seen that the original wall next to the station has been demolished.

Next is the overall layout of the station, the front near the original station is a piece of martial arts field that can accommodate more than 20,000 people, according to the original plan, it is paved with green bricks, and now the funds are limited, so I have to use the solid land to make up for it, and when I have money in the future, it is not too late to replace it with green bricks.

Further back, in the middle is a large hall for important meetings, flanked by a twelve-story pavilion for future generals and adjutant elders.

In the middle part is a huge garden full of flowers and trees of all kinds, as well as many pavilions, in a very beautiful setting for the brothers in the camp to live in.

Behind it is a huge canteen, covering a huge area, about 100 meters long and dozens of meters wide, divided into three floors, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people to eat together.

In order to save land, Hua Ting Qian also took great pains to prepare to build 20 high-rise buildings, each pavilion can be divided into 12 floors, each floor has 10 rooms, each room can live 10 people, so that these 20 floors can accommodate more than 20,000 people and even have space.

For these ten pavilions, it cost about fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, but everyone had no opinion, and if they wanted the brothers to live better, they would spend more silver.

Hua Yuan felt that there would definitely be new people to join the camp in the future, so he also left a small amount of vacant land at the end to leave room for future construction.

Finally, the entire sect was walled with a city wall and connected to the original city wall, so that the station was built.

The cost of building these buildings, plus the wages of the craftsmen, could not be counted as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
