Chapter 535: An Desperate Adventure (4)
Lin Yuanchen said in an accentuated tone: "You must know that the 21st century is a godless world, and it is precisely because of this that Su Su Mei can rely on some small spells to gain a foothold there as a young child and create a great career." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoBut if you teleport a large number of elixir weapons for some money and materials, thenγThat Su Su girl is no longer the only person with magical powers, and it is even possible that these people who have undue power, on the contrary, will harm Su Su Meizi. β
Guo Dalu slapped his head in shock: "Yes, yes, I'm confused! That's right, yes, we must not teleport immortal magic weapons to the 21st century, and Li Bao Su is the only spell caster in the atheistic world." However, it's always okay for us to send the elixir artifact to Su Su, right? She is now casting spells in the 21st century, relying entirely on the power of merit from the child in her womb, which is really a shame for me as a father. β
Lin Yuanchen shook his head: "I'm worried that even if the magic weapons of these cultivators are passed on to Su Su Mei, they will be useless. I guess that in the 21st century, Su Su Mei can only cast spells through the power of merit, and spiritual power is useless. β
Guo Dalu shrugged his shoulders: "It's not too late for me to talk about this matter after Su Su and I have a heart-to-heart relationship." β
Er Niu suddenly said next to her: "Brother Guo, you are so anxious to want money, in fact, there is another way." There are now hundreds of millions of people in the development zone under our name, and I don't know how many people enjoy the high-yield crops we send, all kinds of novel and cheap industrial products, or we will increase the price of goods, and the rents of those farmers who contract our fields will also be raised. β
As soon as the second girl's words fell, the eldest girl pushed her dissatisfied: "What are you talking nonsense, this girl? How can you ask the people for money? Isn't this a scourge to the people? We used to hate the yamen to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but you are good, you actually think of a way to make money from the people." You, you, just a few days after you got rich, you forgot your roots?"
As soon as the eldest girl said this, the second girl was unhappy, she stood up suddenly: "Sister, I don't like to hear what you say." How many good things have we done for the people, not to mention anything else, to this day, this steel farm tool is sold at a loss, and I don't know how much silver has been lost in it. Also, in our development zone, all kinds of government taxes have been abolished, and the people don't know how much they have gained. Actually, the idea I came up with is equivalent to the poll tax of our Science Gate, and the people are the people of Science Gate, and it is natural to pay a tax! Moreover, to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, the materials that Brother Guo tossed from the 21st century are not all used on the heads of the people in the end. Why, they wronged them by paying some money in advance for their future good days?"
The second girl crackled and grabbed the white, the eldest girl was suddenly speechless, she couldn't refute the big reason, just said: "Anyway, you can't scrape money from the people, the people have just lived a good life for a few days, and they are grateful to our science gate, we can't just think about the benefits, then don't we become fish and meat villagers?"
Seeing that the two sisters were about to quarrel, Lin Meiniang coughed lightly: "I think that it is true that we should not collect money from the people, whether it is the price increase of goods or the collection of poll tax, it is not appropriate." β
The second girl was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Meiniang to actually speak to the big girl, she has always been a little respectful of this "sister", the reason is very simple - Lin Meiniang is a white bone spirit! The white bone spirit who does not eat blood food is still a white bone essence, just thinking about Lin Meiniang's original form, it makes the second girl afraid.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Meiniang spoke, Erniu immediately closed her mouth and was about to grab a white mouth with the eldest girl, but Lin Meiniang smiled at Erniu: "Erniu girl, I don't blame you for your bad method, in fact, after Brother Guo's industrial system is built, sooner or later, all commodity prices will have to return to normal, and it is impossible to subsidize the people for a long time. As for the poll tax or something, it can also be levied, because it is a way to get the people to agree with our science gate, and let them know that they are all under the rule of science gate. However, these words were said a long time ago, and I oppose them now because the money we collect from the people is not suitable for the 21st century. β
Erniu's eyes widened: "What's wrong with this?" Let's give Bai Suzhen something for nothing, is it the wrong one?"
Lin Meiniang said with a smile: "There is really a reason to give away things for nothing, and there is a reason to send them wrong." Erniu girl, think about it, when Houlong Village was still poor, the government collected taxes, and what did the villagers hand over?"
Erniu had seen her father pay taxes, and she snapped her fingers and said: "The ones handed over to the government have copper coins, broken silver, cloth woven by my mother, grain, and pigs that I fed myself--oops, no, these things are given to Bai Suzhen, she doesn't have to!"
Lin Meiniang said: "That's right, the people of the Great Li Dynasty are in a difficult situation, and many of the money that can be handed over are agricultural products, even copper coins and silver are very few, these things, if you transmit them to Bai Suzhen, it will be difficult for her to make a move." Even if we sell all these things in the Great Li Dynasty and convert them into copper coins -- no, the copper coins of the Great Li Dynasty are useless in the 21st century, not even fake antiques, and people don't have this dynasty at all -- and they have to be exchanged for gold and jewelry before they can be transmitted to Bai Suzhen. This comes and goes, the trouble is big, a few times the hand is down, the cost is lost, and the funds that can really be obtained in the end are simply not worth mentioning. β
Lin Meiniang's words are a little exaggerated, the tax of hundreds of millions of people cannot be a small number that is "not worth mentioning", but it is indeed a bit thankless.
Erniu was suddenly deflated, and pouted: "I can be regarded as a reader, and I know the truth that the people are wealth, but how can it be our turn to govern the country scientifically, and it is so difficult to collect pen taxes." β
Lin Yuanchen smiled and pulled Erniu to his side, patted her hand and said: "The people are indeed wealth, you think, let's let the people recuperate now, read and learn words, carry out basic education, and carry out vocational training, they will be the best engineers and workers in the future, and they will be able to help us create wealth." Brother Guo is now in urgent need of money to 'buy' materials for the 21st century, but this method of raising funds by scraping the land cannot last long, and isn't that a matter of fishing for the sake of exhaustion? I think the best long-term way is for us to make a deal with the 21st century through the Silent Jade Bottle, and have dealings, so that we can do this big business well. β
Erniu's eyes widened: "What?!We are trading with the 21st century? Our industrial equipment is all transmitted from the 21st century, and it is much more backward than other people's, how can we do business with other people?"
Guo Dalu had been listening to the women's arguments, and when he heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh heavily: "Lin Yuanfa is right, we can indeed trade with time and space in the 21 st century! Who said that those who are backward cannot do business with the advanced? Doing business is not based on whether you are backward or advanced, but on your price and cost! At the beginning of reform and opening up, the Chinese family was much more backward than the Western countries, and the gap was not a star and a half, but a gap of decades or even hundreds of years, and the domestic production equipment was not necessarily much more advanced than our current one. However, the labor cost and various resources of the flower grower are cheap, and the goods produced are sold all over the world, and this cost advantage still exists today. β
"The products produced in our development zone are certainly not as advanced as those in the 12th century, but our costs are much lower, whether it is raw materials, labor or taxes, they are all cheap, and there is no need to consider the most headache of environmental protection. I don't produce high-end goods, I specialize in low-end primary goods. Isn't the 21st century going to production capacity? Will we shut down all the high-polluting projects? Okay, I'll take over these low-end industries, anyway, these low-end industries are supposed to be transferred to Southeast Asia, and instead of cheapening the monkeys in Southeast Asia, it's better for me to undertake production! And I promise that it's cheaper than the ones produced in Southeast Asia, not to mention anything else, the transportation costs will be saved a lot, and there are silent jade bottles, which can transport a large number of goods to the shore at any time. β
All the women nodded again and again, praising that this is the long-term method, and it is necessary for both the Li Dynasty and the 21st century to benefit, so that this "business" can be done.
In the afternoon, when the 10-clean trash can was opened again, Guo Dalu immediately told Bai Suzhen about his plan, Bai Suzhen really rejected the idea of teleporting the elixir weapon to the 21st century in exchange for funds, Bai Suzhen said that she had found that she could only cast spells through the power of merit now, and spiritual power was no longer of the slightest use to her, and if the elixir of the Great Li Dynasty was lost, it would cause an unpredictable situation, and this move would never be feasible.
However, Bai Suzhen is quite appreciative of the "trade" between the Great Li Dynasty and the 21st century, in fact, the company under Mao Li's name has a large amount of money to operate, and a large amount of materials can only enter and exit - all of them have been transmitted to the Great Li Dynasty, which has aroused the suspicion of the relevant departments, because this is the trade imbalance, this is still Bai Suzhen's company is not particularly large, and there is a pretense of African business, otherwise, as long as the relevant departments check on the spot, they will find that a large number of materials have evaporated out of thin air.
However, Guo Dalu sent a large number of raw materials and primary processed products to Bai Suzhen through the Silent Jade Bottle, and in the name of importing them from Africa, he would be able to carry out normal trade with the flower planters in the 21st century.
In Yinzhou City, Wangjiang upstairs, a few diners are tasting ice cream, since Guo Dalu's factory produced freezers, even in the summer, the hotel can be open to supply ice products, downstairs suddenly came a heavy sound of horses' hooves, only to see a few rubber-wheeled carts rushing from the cement road under the restaurant, the material on the car is extremely heavy, the rubber tires are deflated.
A diner said curiously: "What kind of car is this? This morning, I have seen several of these big cars, all of which are heading to Houlong Village, but when they return, they are empty.
The diner on the opposite side put down the empty ice cream glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "This matter, you are asking the right person, my brother-in-law of the neighbor next door, who is studying in Houlong Village, he said, in the past few days, from the sea, air, and land, a large number of materials have been sent to Houlong Village, and then they all disappeared, obviously Mr. Houlong is exerting some magic power again." However, one time, a car broke its tires, and he and his classmates went to help move the goods, and accidentally dropped a box on the ground, guess what rolled out of the box?"
The diner next to him pouted appropriately, "What is it?"
The big-mouthed diner slammed the table: "Gold! a whole box of gold ingots! The student said that there were so many similar boxes in the car that I couldn't count them!"
The eyes of all the diners straightened: "Grandpa Tian, this gold is pulled to the house by cart, Mr. Hou Long is really rich." β
But immediately some old people scoffed: "You guys are really ignorant, what is gold? Don't forget, Mr. Houlong is a cultivator, and in the eyes of cultivators, gold is the dirt in our eyes!"
The diners nodded one after another, indeed, Mr. Houlong and the Science Gate are not based on vulgar profits--cough cough, of course, Li Bo's shopkeeper is extremely shrewd--not to mention, a large number of goods in the snow sugar shop, when facing farmers and the poor, are sold at a discount, and during the New Year's holidays, Mrs. Da Niu will also specially prepare some grain, oil, fish and meat to give to the poor, called condolences.
The diner with "inside information" said: "Science Gate is unusually widely collecting gold, silver and money in the mortal world, there must be something important to do, but I don't know what it is, and it almost shook half the world." β
A young man next to him said: "No matter what it is, it must be beneficial to the people, Mr. Houlong has been doing everything since his debut, all for the sake of our people." Nowadays, Science Gate collects gold and silver, although I am soft-spoken, but I am also willing to help Science Gate, and I have some gold hidden in my home, and I am willing to dedicate it to Science Gate. β
-- This young man's family was originally a large landowner, and he benefited a lot from the promotion of various high-yield new crops in the science gate, and he was very fond of scientific knowledge, although he was old and did not enter the Yixue, but he also studied himself at home, and considered himself a child of half of the science sect.
The diners echoed: "Yes, yes, our Yinzhou City is Mr. Houlong's hometown, a group of fathers and villagers from Mr. Houlong to promote the accumulation of fat, I don't know how much benefit he got from the old man, now there is something in the science gate, we should have a strong contribution, and the powerless should also shout a few voices, I didn't say, we also have some spare money at home, which is dedicated to the science gate." β
This people to give money to the cultivation sect, or the temple and the Taoist institute, in fact, in the Great Li Dynasty is a very common thing, even a kind of unspoken rule that is not recorded in the explicit text, the New Year's Festival, the people everywhere have to pay money and tribute, in order to seek peace or wind and rain, in fact, not only to the cultivation sect, even some powerful goblins and mountain monsters, the people also have to pay money to buy peace from the kings.
It's just that this unspoken rule, in Yinzhou City, has been invisibly abolished, Guo Dalu has never extorted money from the people, but this move has not been implemented in other development zones, after all, there are many cultivation sects or monsters in those development zones, Guo Dalu is only in charge of industrial construction, and he has no energy to manage these for a while.
Soon, the entire Yinzhou City was a sensation, and the people gathered in groups, spontaneously came to the Yamen, offering gold, silver and copper coins, and even some farmers carried the burden and sent the vegetables and fruits that had just been harvested in their fields.
Huang Xueheng Huang didn't know what to do, so he was busy personally going to the hall to receive his father, and after hearing the reason, he was also very moved, but he didn't dare to be self-conscious, and personally rode to Houlong Village to ask Guo Dalu.
Guo Dalu was listening to Li Bo's report in the study, and Li Bo said: "The gold and silver from all over the country are rushing to Houlong Village, but because we have exchanged a large number of copper coins for gold and silver, so that the price of copper coins to gold and silver has been rising. If I am given more time to slowly exchange gold and silver from the market, I promise to control the loss within 10%. β
Guo Dalu nodded: "Li Bo, I highly appreciate your management ability, although you still don't like to read, but you are quite talented." It's just that this time we don't need to care about whether we lose money or not, time, my only requirement is to collect as much gold and silver as possible for me in the shortest possible time!"
--Guo Dalu is in a hurry to teleport the Silent Jade Vase to the 21st century, once the transmission is successful, it will be the real benefit, in contrast, the exchange rate of gold and silver has increased by a few percent, which is not in the scope of Guo Dalu's consideration at all.
Li Bo nodded again and again: "Yes, the disciple understands, the disciple still has some channels to exchange gold and silver, although the price is a little higher, but Brother Guo has a life, and I will exchange a large amount of gold and silver at the expense of my blood." β
Guo Dalu added: "In addition to gold and silver, copper can also be used. β
At this time, Huang Xueheng hurried over, didn't care about wiping his sweat, and hurriedly reported to Guo Dalu about the spontaneous donation of gold and silver money by the people of Yinzhou.
Li Bo said with a smile: "The people's aspirations, it can be seen that Brother Guo's popularity is high, hey, even if he is the emperor himself, it also makes the territory of our development zone now full of the land of the Great Li Dynasty, which can be the foundation of the country." β
Guo Dalu frowned: "Li Bo, what nonsense are you talking about? Remember, there can always be only one Great Li Dynasty! Any move to split the country will be the mortal enemy of my Guo Dalu and my science sect!"
