The increase in commercial taxes has caused an uproar in Qingzhou, and merchants from all over the country have the idea of leaving Qingzhou at this moment, but they are not in a hurry to react, they are waiting and seeing.

They don't believe that the people in power in Qingzhou really dare to do this? Aren't they afraid of Qingzhou's economic downturn? Once Qingzhou's commercial development is affected, what is the significance to him?

In recent days, Shen Wansan and others have only promulgated a decree to raise commercial taxes, and they have not rushed to implement them, they are considering the consequences of raising commercial taxes and how to solve them.

Qi County Taishou Mansion Yanai.

The Taishou from all over the country gathered together again.

Shen Wansan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the decree was made public in the past few days, the feedback from local merchants was extremely bad. The increase in commercial taxes is the primary layout of His Royal Highness King Qi in Qingzhou, and there is no room for error.

His Royal Highness the King of Qi once said that he would leave this matter to us and others, and he would not care about the consequences. In fact, it is not difficult to see from this sentence that this is a test question given to me by the eldest prince.

Whether we can answer this question or not, whether we answer it well or not, is enough to affect whether we can be reused in front of His Royal Highness King Qi in the future. ”

Qi Jun Taishou frowned and said: "But this official has been thinking about it for a long time, and he still hasn't found a good way to let the merchants in this city accept the decree of raising commercial taxes with peace of mind!"

The same is true of Beihai County Taishou, "The old man has also thought about it for a few days, but he can't find a good solution, if this decree is really implemented, it is likely that merchants from all over the country will evacuate Qingzhou one after another."

At present, all industries in Qingzhou are waiting to be developed, if they are allowed to leave Qingzhou, I am afraid that Qingzhou's business will plummet, and even hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to eat and wear clothes!"

After the Beihai County Taishou finished speaking, the Taishou in various places became noisy, and at first, they did not understand the consequences of the promulgation of this decree.

Now that I learned about it, I felt very scared.

In case it messes up the layout of His Royal Highness King Qi and affects the current situation, and does not satisfy His Royal Highness King Qi, then it will be a big trouble!

Do you want to ask His Royal Highness King Qi again?

No way!

If Zai Tian shamelessly went back to consult His Royal Highness King Qi, it would definitely cause an unbearable phenomenon in his heart.

Now that His Royal Highness King Qi's position in the Wei Kingdom is in full swing, if he ascends to the throne in the future, and we do this today, maybe we will still have the opportunity to be promoted to the central power?

Somehow got to make this happen.

Can't let the eldest prince down!

But what the hell should I do?!

At this time, Shen Wansan smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and began to speak, "You have been an official and in politics for many years, you should not know businessmen, the so-called businessmen are all for profit.

If we can give enough benefits to those merchants, even if it is to raise the commercial tax, they can accept it, and to a great extent, it can also reduce the civil tax. ”

"Concessions?"

Zhu Taishou frowned again, silently reciting this word in his heart, but how to make profits and how to make profits?

Shen Wansan spoke again, "We can distribute the land of each county uniformly and reasonably, of course, we can't take any of the land used by the people."

In addition to this, we have a large amount of land that has not been allocated, and we have given it all to these merchants and let them buy it at the lowest price.

Not only that, but we also have to relax the policy of doing business, such as being able to trade with other countries and buy and sell, for this, you don't have to worry at all, at present, Qingzhou is all under the control of His Royal Highness King Qi, and he has the power to arrange everything in Qingzhou.

If this is done, the so-called commercial tax will not matter to them as merchants, after all, everything is negotiable before the huge benefits. ”

As soon as Shen Wansan's words fell, someone objected: "No, land is the foundation of the country, even if it is a local business, but how can you say that you can let it go? and buy it at the lowest price?"

Shen Wansan explained: "Our concession does not mean that they bought the land, the land is theirs. We reserve the right to acquire land, and the land sold to them is not for life, but for a limited period of time.

During this period, we do not care how they use the land, and we guarantee the core interests of these merchants to the greatest extent.

In this way, not only can the commercial tax rise, but even the civil tax can fall, and when the time comes, it will look at the changes in the business merchants in various places and appropriately introduce some new policies.

They began to talk about it, and eventually they all realized that it was very feasible.

"Is that a policy being enacted? to let them know that we have this offer?" someone said.

Shen Wansan shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, the repeated promulgation of new policies will make them guess our intentions arbitrarily."

In the next two days, gather the merchants and people from the family in Qingzhou, gather together for a meal, set up a chamber of commerce, and advance and retreat together, so that it will be easier for them to accept the decree of raising commercial taxes. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in praise.

In this way, the earliest scale of the merchant alliance can be regarded as a sprout.

Zhao Changqing has been in the palace for the past two days waiting for the results, and it has been a day or two since the new decree was promulgated.

So he asked Zhao Yun to come to the market with him in disguise to inquire about the news.

Many ordinary people felt that raising commercial taxes had no effect on them, and they did not understand it, so they did not discuss it.

The two of them came together to an inn.

Here, Zhao Changqing heard the news he wanted.

The promulgation of the new policy has received a very bad reputation.

Several businessmen complained loudly about the injustice of the new decree in this inn, saying that it made their lives more difficult, and so on.

Zhao Changqing was very happy when he heard their complaints.

He still thinks that the civil and commercial taxes will be raised together.

As long as the wind is not good and the people everywhere complain, they can reap a wave of mediocrity.

That's a simple thing in itself.

Those guards aren't going to mess this up, are they?

Zhao Yun secretly asked him on the side: "Your Highness, will we raise taxes cause a mutiny?"

Does Zhao Changqing care about these things?

Here's how he replied, "Mutiny?

Just these four words stunned Zhao Yun.

To be honest, Zhao Changqing is afraid that this matter will not make a big fuss, he is in urgent need of mediocrity now, and when he has accumulated enough strength by relying on the system, he wants to kill back to Chang'an, kill to Xindu, fight from north to south, go back and forth on the map of Wei, and establish a new dynasty.

Two days ago, he was still sullen because of the matter of the heavy armor iron horse.

In the past two days, I have figured it out, if this kind of battle-hardened army is more and its own strength is stronger, it will already be invincible to the Wei State at that time, and the mediocrity will not be needed for a short time, and it is only right to return to the new capital and become the emperor.

After thinking about it, he felt that Qingzhou was a good place, with good people, good water, and good mountains, and he heard that many people in the inn began to complain about the new policy, and he felt that the people here were really kind!
