Tang Feng smiled and said: "Actually, this is people's inherent thinking is making trouble, for example, if the four of us are eating and suddenly there are four more people, then we generally feel that the food on the table has been divided, but no one has ever thought about why these four people came? ”

"Don't understand?" Lan'er was a little dazed by what he said.

Tang Feng was crazy in his heart: "To put it simply, there are many people who come to the Wu Acropolis, and the benefits here are big enough, and the people in the past can't eat it, so everyone has to eat it together." ”

Tang Che shrugged: "I don't understand, what do you want to say when you told us so much at night, you just say it?"

"Hehe!" Tang Feng smiled awkwardly: "Didn't I say before that these people in our dart bureau should buy a village outside the city, so that they can support themselves and live a better life than now?"

Tang Che nodded: "I remember this, and I think it's very good." What's the matter? You're going to buy Zhuangzi now?"

"I don't buy it for the time being, I want to discuss something with you. Tang Feng felt that he had changed the world and become an old man.

"What did you say?" Tang Che and Song Yao both looked at Tang Feng.

"That's what I think, when we buy Zhuangzi outside the city and they all move out, won't all the places in the dart bureau be empty? Tang Feng slowly said his thoughts, as little as possible and abrupt.

Tang Che nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but this was the truth, his own body was not suitable at all, and Tang Feng was now the city lord, and he couldn't go to the dart, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Feng said with a smile: "When the time comes, you will live in the City Lord's Mansion with me, and we will open the largest restaurant in the Wuwei City here!"

"Restaurant?" Tang Che, Song Yao, and Lan'er were all puzzled, and Tang Che frowned even more and said, "No one has done this before?"

Tang Feng explained: "There is a reason why I think so, first of all, after the people of our dart bureau go to Zhuangzi outside, if we have a restaurant in the city, is it their vegetables and livestock, and if it is suitable, we can give them more money." ”

"That's right. "The thought of being able to help these old brothers Tang Che is hot, so naturally he has no opinion.

Song Yao asked, "What about the second?"

Tang Feng pointed at himself: "The second reason is me, I think that the removal of the city gate tax will definitely be opposed by them, and I opened a restaurant to do business at this time to make an example for them, so that everyone believes that the money will only increase in the future." ”

"Okay, I'm okay with that. "Song Yao is simply it, as soon as she hears that it is Tang Feng's business, she supports it unconditionally.

After negotiating with his family, Tang Feng went to find Wang Xiaobao, he had to find a partner for himself, he didn't think he was really omnipotent. After all, Wang Xiaobao is a serious businessman, and he can easily understand many truths, and he readily agreed to Tang Feng's proposal. So the cooperation between one person and one person is decided, just waiting for the east wind to blow.

This morning, Tang Feng suddenly found Zhuge Tingxuan: "You help me contact the heads of all large and small families and the heads of the guilds, and let them hold a meeting in the City Lord's Mansion in three days." ”

"Meeting??" Zhuge Tingxuan was a little confused about the situation, what meeting with them, what did they have to do with the City Lord's Mansion?

Tang Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, there will be a meeting, and you and Deputy City Lord Ye will also participate when the time comes." ”

Zhuge Tingxuan asked suspiciously: "What is it?"

"Tell them the time, and you'll know what's coming. Tang Feng didn't tell him anything, but sold it.

Wu Acropolis is only a lower city after all, Zhuge Tingxuan called the heads of large and small families according to Tang Feng's request, the heads of each guild, there are only a dozen people when they arrive, and it is almost the same for everyone to sit together and have a tea party, he remembered that his previous unit had a year-end meeting of thousands of people, and the power of the loudspeaker was not good.

After everyone's lively greetings were over, Tang Feng began to speak: "It must be strange for everyone to be called here today. “

"Hmm!"

"yes!"

"What's the matter with the lord of the castle?"

Tang Feng pressed his hand to make everyone quiet: "Then I'll say it bluntly, I came to you today to discuss one thing, about canceling the city gate tax." ”

Quiet, everyone looks at each other!

Boiling, everyone began to chatter.

Tang Feng pressed his hand again: "Everyone is a person who has been doing business for many years, I think you can think of what changes will occur when the city gate tax is removed, I called everyone here today to explain this matter clearly, and you didn't ask me any doubts." Then he looked at Ye Chenglong and Zhuge Tingxuan: "You are either the deputy city lord today, or the people of the Ye family and the Zhuge family, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask?"

This question may have only been heard by others, but they have been thinking about it for a long time, and when everyone frowned and thought about it, Ye Chenglong said: "Then I'll tell the truth." ”

"You say. Tang Feng nodded.

"The city gate tax will be abolished, and the tax revenue of the City Lord's Mansion will be missing a lot, so will it be made up from us, the big and small families and merchants?" Ye Chenglong really thought about it, but he still didn't figure it out.

Tang Feng shook his head and said: "Definitely not, the city gate tax will be abolished, and there will be a steady stream of commercial goods from all over the country to come to Wuwei City, and there are many people who come together, and the more people there are, the more people will consume, and at that time, you are worried that everyone will have no money to make?"

Zhuge Tingxuan asked a reliable question: "Then will the steady stream of goods come in at that time affect our business?"

"Yes?" is a question that is true to many people.

Tang Feng nodded at Zhuge Tingxuan, first affirmed that he asked this question well, and then explained: "Everyone has to think like this question, for example, you are a seller of steamed buns, in the past, there were two people on the street to buy your steamed buns, and no one competed, but now that you find that there is a steamed bun seller on the side, you are worried that others will rob you of your business, maybe don't forget that not only is there a steamed bun seller, but also twenty people who buy steamed buns, so do you think about whether to make a profit or a loss?"

"Hmm. After thinking for a while, everyone nodded.

At this time, the head of the Liu family, who was selling livestock, asked, "Lord City, I want to ask something!"

Tang Feng nodded: "I called everyone here today to ask questions." ”

"City Lord, just take what you just said about selling steamed buns, I think why don't you let those twenty people all buy our steamed buns, why do you have to share them with others?"

Tang Feng smiled: "I guess many people think so. Immediately a few people lowered their heads, and he continued: "The problem is that you have been making steamed buns for two people, and now suddenly twenty people have come, do you make them? “

"Haha!" the crowd laughed.

Tang Feng continued: "Everyone knows how much to eat with a big belly, we can't always occupy the pit and not, always let people wait, then who will suffer, after a long time, they don't want the city gate tax and people won't come." ”

Businessmen understand these truths as soon as they say them, but some people still ask: "Then there are more people and goods coming in, so as to ensure that we are not compared to others?"

Tang Feng shrugged: "There is no way, it can only be that you are better than other people's things, that is, you have to wait for others to be happy, on the contrary, no one will buy your things." ”

Someone else asked, "Don't our locals have some advantage?"

Tang Feng smiled: "Isn't it an advantage now? You can know about the abolition of the city gate tax before others, so it is your advantage to occupy the house and grab the shop in advance." ”

"That's right. Everyone was shocked and began to wonder about it.

"Ahem!" I have another thing to say here: "I want to open a restaurant in the place where we have a tailwind, but I don't have any money, but someone wants to buy a share?"

"The old man wants to take shares. The head of the Ye family spoke directly.

"And the old man!" the old man of the Zhuge family is not far behind.

"I!" Wang Pingchuan also had to seize this opportunity.

"Can I do it?" Sun Kai is now a little pitiful in his low profile.

"I ...... We ...... "It doesn't matter if you can get involved with the city lord and make money or not, that's an attitude."

Tang Feng smiled and said: "It's okay, I have an idea, we can organize a Wuacropolis Chamber of Commerce together, now we will buy shares in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and deal with other things in the form of the Chamber of Commerce in the future." ”

"Hmm!" The head of the Ye family nodded: "I think it's good." ”

Then everyone else agreed, so on this day, the Acropolis decided to cancel the gate tax, and the Acropolis Chamber of Commerce was officially established.

The next day, the City Lord's Mansion officially ordered the cancellation of the city gate tax of the Wu Acropolis, but the development of things had to come step by step, and if you didn't remove the city gate tax, others would have to rush over. First of all, you have to let people know that you have canceled the city gate tax, so Tang Feng arranged for many people to go around to spread the news. The second is to suppress bandits, and to ensure the safety of the environment in the Wuwei City.

When he sent people to spread the news in various places, Tang Feng also asked people to go to Fengkou Town to find the pimple, and he still remembered his first little brother. The pimple got the news and came quickly, after all, there was only one day's road from Fengkou Town to Wuwei City, and it was less than half a day to ride a horse.

The pimple is no longer the pimple of the past, he now has two mustaches and sharp eyes, and he can see that his kung fu has not fallen. The two talked about the past, and Tang Feng said, "I want you to move the loading and unloading company to Wuwei City." ”

"Okay, with you, the city lord, we can do things. "Pimple believes that what Tang Feng said is right, even if he is now the overlord of the party, he is still the pimple of the past.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "It's not that I want you to follow me, because there will definitely be no business in places like Fengkou Town in the future." ”

"Why?" Pimple was also curious, business in Fengkou Town had been very good in the past few years, and he didn't see any problems.

"Because Wu Acropolis has canceled the city gate tax, there is no need for those caravans' goods to go to Fengkou Town, and the loading and unloading company will have no work to do, you move the loading and unloading company to Wu Acropolis as soon as possible, and I will help you contact the local government, and do business sooner rather than later." "It's the same as before, Tang Feng told him clearly.

"Got it. After hearing this, he went back to prepare for the loading and unloading company that day.

Time flickered to March, the newly recruited soldiers had also been trained, and the suppression of bandits in Wuweicheng was about to begin, Tang Feng looked at the bed crossbow on the city wall, thinking about the strength of one of his regiments, he couldn't help but be proud, this is simply the preparation of Zhongcheng.

On this day, the second team of the Security Bureau reported: "Bandits were found in the Surung Mountain, seventy miles east of the city, and the number was about 200. ”

The news was transmitted to the reconnaissance battalion, and Arnold took a reconnaissance company and two companies of soldiers to suppress the bandits.

Another day, the second team of the Security Bureau reported, and the reconnaissance battalion was dispatched with the soldiers, and for three months, the surroundings were as if they had been scraped by a grate, and those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods had no place to stay.

As time passed, Tang Feng's plans were carried out one by one, and after the suppression of bandits outside the city was over, he could also buy Zhuangzi to move the people of the dart bureau out, and at the same time, the Wuwei City Restaurant jointly organized by Tang Feng, Wang Xiaobao and the Wuwei Chamber of Commerce also began to be built.

But among all the major events, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, funded by the city lord's mansion and the establishment of the Wuwei People's Hospital with Xiao Guizi as the president, the reason why Xiao Guizi is chosen is not his ability, and no one will be at ease with his medical skills that have just come out. The reason why Tang Feng would use him was to be obedient, just like Hu Zhuzi, he would not oppose Tang Feng at any time.

Two months later, the effect of Wu Acropolis' cancellation of the city gate tax was immediately apparent, a safe and money-free place made people very curious, and slowly Wu Acropolis became the trade center of the entire Southern Chu and even the world, and there was no pressure on the tax and arrears of 10 million at the end of the year, and now the pressure was on Tongyue City, because they were too close to Wu Acropolis City to become a foil.

Ten years later, the status of Wu Acropolis in the world was unshakable, and to Tang Feng's surprise, the Southern Chu Imperial Court later directly promoted Wu Acropolis to Shangcheng and was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which also made Tang Feng the first mayor of Southern Chu in history, and the imperial court later sent a thousand Huwei troops to Wu Weicheng, and the general was a giant bear.
