Chapter 213: The Fourth Gathering of Gentlemen
The next day, the heavens and the earth opened a big reward, and the whole audience was discounted by 7%, so that many businessmen came to support King Ji.
Although the minimum consumption of more than ten is indeed quite expensive, it is still the same sentence, there are rich people in this world.
And the shareholders have also come to experience it, and they are not qualified to participate in the occasion yesterday.
So early this morning, they all came, a large team of more than 100 people, and this group of people was ready to experience all the projects here.
This group of people is originally fun-loving people, and since they have money, they have played all over the major green buildings.
Li Shen set a rule for them, whoever comes here will be consumed at a 50% discount, and no free orders are allowed.
This is to ensure everyone's interests, but this is not a problem for this group of gentlemen at all.
There are also girls who are not allowed to touch the upstairs and do not sell themselves. Fights are not allowed here. Every day, someone has to come here to watch the scene and prevent people from making trouble.
Li Shen actually doesn't care much about heaven and earth, because he doesn't make much money, just fame and elegance, or to satisfy a little wish in Li Shen's heart.
What he is thinking about now is how to make Datang shift from agricultural tax to commercial tax, and how to make the powerful pay taxes. Let the common people become rich, and then he can make more money.
It's just that this needs to be worked, and the elites can't be let know.
If they knew that it was Li Shen who proposed it, it is estimated that he might be assassinated again.
After pondering and meditating for several days, Li Shen finally found a simple stupid solution.
In Li Shen's view, there are only two headaches for businessmen to pay taxes, the first is how to let them take the initiative to pay taxes, and the second is to let the powerful pay taxes.
The first thing Li Shen is thinking about now is how to collect the taxes of merchants, many businessmen are running merchants, and they go through the public inspection or the office, that is, after the permit and pass, there is no fixed occasion.
So you can only prepare from the source of wholesale. Li Shen plans to set up a chamber of commerce first.
Starting from Chang'an, we will expand the whole country little by little.
He plans to set up a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in every prefecture and county in the country, so that it can be convenient for some businessmen in remote areas to join and supervise the examination.
Just do it, he found Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu.
He said the general framework of what he had in mind, and then said to the two:
"What do you two think of my method?"
"Lord Wang, it's nothing to set up a chamber of commerce that you said, but it's not good for us, and according to what Lord Wang said, we still have to set up branches in various states and counties in Datang, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and we don't have to invest a lot of money?" Wang Hongfu asked puzzled
"Lao Wang, there are some things to look at in the long run, you just need to know my requirements, don't think about anything else, what you have to do is to recruit people for me, recruit people who can read and write, first find it from the Huangzhuang, if someone is willing to go, you can sign up, and the salary we give will definitely be higher than that of ordinary craftsmen." You go to someone first, and ask for someone of good character. ”
Wang Hongfu said yes and went to do what Li Shen explained.
"Is the prince trying to attack the merchants?"
After Wang Hongfu went out, Wang Xuance asked
"Is it so obvious? I haven't said anything yet," Li Shen was a little puzzled as to why Wang Xuance would know.
"Lord Wang, when you came back drunk that day, what you kept saying was the word "collecting business tax."
It turned out that Li Shen was also a little drunk when he came back from the queen that day, and when Wang Xuance sent Li Shen back to his house, Li Shen said to Wang Xuance that he was collecting business taxes.
"And what about this? Luckily, no one else heard. It seems that this king is not suitable for drinking. Li Shen thought in his heart, no, he was quite able to drink in his previous life.
"Lord Wang, if this thing is done, it will definitely be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but it is not easy to do. Not to mention that the powerful families don't have to pay taxes, even the merchants can't get them to take the initiative to pay taxes, unless the law is enacted. ”
"Xuan Ce, the law of the country will definitely not work, but there are definitely more ways than difficulties. As long as we have a goal, we will continue to move forward towards this goal. Someday we'll be done. Li Shen began to brainwash Wang Xuance again.
"What the prince said is that where there is a will, there is a way, and as long as we continue to work hard, there will definitely be a successful day." Wang Xuance was made up by Li Shen's chicken soup, and he immediately became more energetic.
"Well, but we have too few people. As far as you and I are concerned, many things are not very thoughtful, do you have a flexible brain, know how to plan a good candidate in Chang'an, and we are like-minded to find a few. Li Shen found that he was actually just moving his mouth, and he was only one and a half people.
One person is Wang Xuance, and half of the person is Wang Hongfu. There is nothing left.
"Lord Wang, there are a lot of advisors in Chang'an, but they all have masters. It is impossible to join us. Wang Xuance thought for a while
"Okay, let's get the Chamber of Commerce together first. Starting from Chang'an, it slowly developed to various states and counties. By the way, how can this kind of thing be without those scourges. ”
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other. The next day, the fourth meeting was held in the palace of King Ji of Chang'an.
The meeting was attended by the second generation of disciples of the military generals such as Li Shen, Cheng Chuliang, Fang Yiai, Tang Jian, and other civil generals.
Although everyone doesn't know what the specific thing is this time, King Ji will have a meeting and there will be a way to make money.
Although heaven and earth are not very profitable, it is the favorite place of these people, and a group of ten people is responsible for watching the field, a group of three times a month.
It makes them have a lot of fun.
Of course, sometimes there are some guests who don't have long brains or don't understand the rules or harass the maidservants, or fight each other with jealousy, but the result is the same, and they are thrown out of heaven and earth by the watchers.
"Brothers, I have summoned you here this time to discuss a major matter with you." Li Shen focused his attention at the beginning.
"I don't know what kind of big thing it is, so that the prince can't make a decision," someone asked
"Actually, it's nothing, yesterday the king looked through the history books, there are a lot of celebrity biographies, the king suddenly thought, life is short but a hundred years, a hundred years later, there will still be anyone who remembers this king?
This king thought about the night, people live for a lifetime, the grass and trees for an autumn, and he must always leave something to remember for future generations.
Who doesn't want to be famous in history, and who doesn't want to be famous for centuries. Don't you, brothers, want that in a thousand years there will be people who will remember your name and that future generations will make a name for you? Li Shen's tone
"Lord Wang, I think about it, but since ancient times, there have been a few people who have been able to do it, and which one of them can be passed down through the ages is not a sage or an emperor.
We can only be recorded in history unless we can be like Du Gongfang's grandson and grandson. Otherwise, we will just be a drop in the ocean in this historical material. "The person who spoke was Zhang Liangke, and his father was now promoted to the squire of the Criminal Department and concurrently served as the prince Shaozhan.
What Liang Ke said is very true, and it has been like this since ancient times. But this time there is an opportunity for everyone to come, or maybe everyone will be able to go down in history. "Praise first and then change, this is the skill of speaking in the success of later generations.
"Lord Wang, you just say what to do. Let's follow" Cheng Chuliang stood up and said, he is not like these children of the Wenchen family, he still thinks about this and that.
