"I know!" Hu Yang still said the same sentence, and I don't know if his shadow is still there, or if he really doesn't like to talk.

At the end of the meeting, Tang Feng summed up one sentence: "Everyone work hard to make Wuwei a forbidden area for evil!"

In the new year, Tang Feng felt that there were many things to do, because he had kicked away some of the stumbling blocks in the city, and the rest were ready to be used for his own use. The City Lord's Mansion is now very prestigious, so the recruitment has been going particularly smoothly in the past two days, and the old era when no one cared about it is gone forever.

Ye Chenglong and Zhuge Tingxuan also did a good job, and the Wang family also gave face, two days later, the head of the family, Wang Pingchuan, personally brought hundreds of disciples to respond, and the four elders of the Four Elephant Array who fought with Tang Feng at the beginning came. As soon as Wang Pingchuan saw Tang Feng, he smiled and said, "As soon as I learned that the City Lord's Mansion was going to recruit recruits, I organized the disciples of my Wang family to come, and later the two deputy city lords said that they also let my Wang family participate in the training of soldiers, I really feel honored." ”

Tang Feng also said enthusiastically: "The head of the family has done me a great favor this time. ”

"The city lord is really polite, you can think that my Wang family is useful, you can just tell me anything in the future. Wang Pingchuan's posture was very low when he spoke, he saw it clearly and thought clearly, especially after witnessing Tang Feng's killing of the Thirteen Eagles of Hanhai at the east gate last time, he knew that the strength of the City Lord's Mansion was far from being comparable to his small Wang family.

If he can be like the Ye family and the Zhuge family, completely tied to the City Lord's Mansion, it will be like leaning against a big tree, and if there are goods like the Thirteen Eagles of Hanhai, let alone going to the door to seek revenge, I am afraid that I will have to take a detour when we meet. Therefore, Wang Pingchuan was thinking hard about the method for a while, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come to the door by himself.

Wang Pingchuan is very low-key, Tang Feng also gives the Wang family face, he directly arranged for the four elders of the Wang family to be the assistant chief instructor to assist the butcher's work, of course they don't know what this means, but they don't know if there is an advantage of not knowing, at least they won't dislike the official when they don't know.

The Wang family's surrender is just a small fortune for Tang Feng, in fact, his most fundamental purpose is to cancel the city gate tax and build Wuacropolis into the world's first free trade zone, which is not Tang Feng's crazy thoughts. In this world, he has not heard anything about taxes until now, and it is the gate tax between cities that restricts the circulation of goods.

On the border between Southern Chu and Northern Han in the Wuweicheng area, there are many people doing border trade nearby, just like the tuyere town where Tang Feng stayed at the beginning, that is, the merchants formed at the beginning to avoid the city gate tax, and there are not one or two such towns. If the city gate tax is abolished in Wuwei City now, then the merchants will take the initiative to come to Wuweicheng, after all, it is better to stay in the city than to stay in the wild, and there will be various large and small forces asking for money in places like Fengkou Town, and the first black storm and the immediate suppression of bandits in Wuwei City are to solve these problems.

In the evening, when Tang Feng came home for dinner, he had a rare conversation with Tang Che about business: "Dad, I want to cancel the gate tax of our Wu Acropolis, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what he meant, Tang Che frowned and thought for a while and asked, "It seems that no one has ever done this?"

"Yes, I've been to many places, and I haven't heard anyone say that the gate tax will be abolished. "Lan'er and Tang Feng are not married now, but they are the same as their families, and they will not avoid her in anything.

Song Yao just chatted and asked, "Why?"

Tang Feng was actually waiting for someone to ask why, so he said slowly: "Everyone has this city gate tax, because he is a reasonable fiscal and tax income, if the goods enter the city to pay taxes, they will be protected by the government, this is already a habit, people are used to paying taxes, and the government is also used to protecting the goods entering the city." “

Everyone nodded, but still no one knew what he wanted to say, Tang Feng continued: "What if our Wu Acropolis removes the city gate tax?" Without waiting for others to speak, he said again: "Then everyone will rush to pull the goods into the Wu Acropolis." “

Tang Che nodded: "Yes, what's the benefit of pulling us here?"

"The benefit is money, everyone sees that the city gate tax is gone, but there are more goods, more people deliver goods, and more people spend more money. Tang Feng began to count: "It costs money to eat, it costs money to live in a hotel, it costs money to buy things, ......" Tang Feng said that the three of them would nod their heads, if they weren't worried about cervical spondylosis, Tang Feng could say that he would go tomorrow morning.

"Hmm. Tang Che nodded: "What you said makes sense, but why don't others do such a good thing?"

"That's a good question. Tang Feng started to twenty five hundred or eighty thousand again: "But have you ever thought about what you need to do to get rid of this city gate tax?"

"Tell me. Tang Che put down the bowl and listened intently.

"First, your city should be absolutely safe, and if there are frequent accidents, others would rather pay taxes and go to a safe place. Second, it is necessary to withstand the initial pressure, the city gate tax is a large income in every city, if it is suddenly abolished, many people can't bear it, and if the city lord just wants to make money, he will not take the risk. Tang Feng paused when he said this.

"It's not impossible to do this?" Lan'er sounded a little puzzled.

Tang Feng wanted this effect, either that he and Lan'er had a tacit understanding, and he just needed her question to lead to the latter words: "Yes, the first two points can be done as long as you want to do them, but the third point is difficult." ”

Lan'er continued to ask, "What's that?"

"Interests, you think that when a large number of merchants come, they bring not only consumption, but also countless goods and people doing business here, so that the local families, large and small, and even ordinary small merchants and peddlers will have countless competitors, so they will feel that their interests have been touched, and they will naturally oppose it collectively. In fact, there are a lot of political and economic terms, although Tang Feng himself knows a little about them, but he can only speak more popular language to them.

This time, Tang Che also began to answer, he thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it still impossible for people to oppose this matter?"

Tang Feng nodded: "Yes, the general situation is like this, which is also the reason why no one does this, but ......" He began to turn: "Who am I? I am the one who can make the impossible possible." ”

Lan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, she always couldn't forget to brag!

"Speak well. "Tang Che is very faceless.

"What my son said is the truth!" Song Yao glared at Tang Che angrily, this is also the reason why Lan'er just wanted not to say it, there is still a mother there who can only say that Tang Feng is good.
