"First of all, Dai Zhao and Liu's three wealthy businessmen will take the lead, and drive other businessmen to rebuild Xizhou Beiting, with these three taking the lead, a large amount of money, food and materials for reconstruction will be raised in the shortest possible time."

"Merchants seek profit, and Weichen's idea is that if they want to make them willing to rebuild Beiting and Xizhou, they need to make profits. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere are many mines in Beiting, and there are many kinds of cherished medicinal materials and plants in Xizhou, and these resources are difficult to fully develop by relying on the power of the imperial court, so Your Majesty might as well divide these resources in Beiting and Xizhou according to the contribution of rebuilding Xizhou and Beiting to Shangjia for a period of ten years, and the merchants will operate and develop on their behalf, and the cities built by Shangjia will not be subject to customs duties within ten years, and the Shangjia who have made great contributions to the development of these two states will not collect taxes within ten years, and use this as a bait to use Shangjia's huge financial resources to rebuild Xizhou and Beiting."

After Han Tongwen finished speaking, the imperial study was quiet for a moment, and Pei Yan heard some voiceovers, but he didn't say anything.

"Tongwen, you are equivalent to using the imperial court's tax revenue in Xizhou and Beiting within ten years to rebuild these two states," Shangguan Yi said

"Lord Shangguan, if you can't rebuild Xizhou and Beiting, these two states will become the biggest burden of Datang, not only will you not be able to receive taxes in the next ten years, but you will also need a steady stream of relief to stabilize the people's hearts, in contrast, Weichen feels that he still chooses the first strategy. ”

"If you talk about big cities alone, there are 30 big cities in Beiting, and there are nearly 50 in Xizhou, these businessmen may not be able to complete such a huge project."

"Some cities are just damaged, just do some repairs, the money and goods cost to destroy the big cities that need to be rebuilt can be called a bottomless pit, these merchants are really not enough, so Wechen also wants to ask Your Majesty to issue a second decree"

"Exemption from taxes and public money for the people of these two states during the reconstruction period"

"How can this be," Li Zhi frowned.

"Your Majesty, Weichen only means to exempt the people from taxes and public money, but the merchants still pay, and the funds spent on reconstruction are astronomical, and these merchants are absolutely unable to make up for it, so the public money issued to the people is changed to the merchants, and the merchants' ability to lend money far exceeds that of the common people, and the public party money will not only not decrease, but will increase a lot."

"Yes, it's a good idea" Shangguan Yi and Pei Yan both agreed, and even the emperor nodded again and again

"The idea is very good, but have you ever thought that the resources developed by these merchants, such as charcoal, still need to be sold to the people of my Datang, so don't you let the merchants exploit the people of my Datang?

"Your Majesty, Niangniang Mingjian, although there is a part of the tax reduction and exemption in Xizhou and Beiting, but other states do not, from Xizhou to various places still need to pay layers of tariffs, Weichen has investigated, before Beiting Xizhou is poor, merchants sit in Jia is not developed, tariff revenue for the Tang Dynasty bottom, now the two states are developing greatly, although there is no tariff in the state, but to Youzhou Liangzhou and other neighboring states and counties will increase the currency, tariff revenue will be more, an increase and a decrease in the imperial court There is no substantial loss" Han Tongwen worked hard to collect these materials with the help of Pei Yan.

"No matter how much they contribute now, they will be plundered back from my Datang people in the future, even more than they have paid, you are treating reconstruction and disaster relief as a business."

"Niangniang, having said that, it will also be of great benefit to my dynasty. In this way, our court can complete disaster relief and reconstruction without spending any resources, and second, these merchants can get a large amount of public money through money loans to the young eunuch's house; third, ten years later, the two states have been developed and operated by the merchants and improve the various fishing and salt mining industries can be taken over to my Tang Dynasty, my court is equivalent to ten years, and then ten years later get two fully developed Xizhou and Beiting, which are two golden mountains; fourth, Xizhou is close to Great Xia, Beiting is close to the Golden Wolf Empire, both states are extremely important trade routes, the Golden Wolf Empire has a cold climate, the carbon of Beiting can be continuously transported to the Golden Wolf Empire, and the goods of Xizhou can also enter Great Xia soonto absorb the wealth of the two countries for their own use"

Everyone secretly admired Han Tongwen's wisdom, such a subtle idea was perfect, but they didn't know that he just moved the appearance of the special economic zone in the later generations.

"According to your assumption, this palace may wish to boldly imagine that in the next ten years, Xizhou and Beiting will become a place of free business, and commerce and trade in Datang will be transferred to these two states, which will inevitably lead to the decay of commercial goods in other states and counties, except for Beiting and other places in Xizhou, the imperial court's commercial tax and tariff revenue will be greatly reduced, and Xizhou and Beiting will be greatly increased, but these two places will not collect customs duties and taxes, and Datang will reduce a lot of taxes in the next ten years."

"Wechen doesn't dare to agree with Niangniang's idea" Han Tongwen very clearly put forward the objection "When an industry forms a scale, the benefits will be far more than the benefits generated by scattered businesses, because the efficiency has improved, Niangniang, our vision should be long-term"

"Do you mean Hongu is short-sighted?"

"Weichen has no such intention, Weichen just wants to say that if you want to make Xizhou Beiting worry-free, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, you must give up some interests, if Your Majesty and Niangniang think that my idea is ridiculous and not feasible, Weichen will retire, and I will never ask about this matter in the future." Han Tongwen is also a little annoyed, all of them are insatiable, the emperor refuses to give up his interests, and the nobles refuse to give up their interests, so they are still here to worry about the country and the people, and what kind of bullshit disaster relief is there, Lao Tzu threw the mess of Xizhou and Beiting to you, and when the two states you forced to rebel, do Lao Tzu's bullshit, the two states rebelled against the Golden Wolf Empire and Great Xia once again took advantage of the chaos to make a comeback, and the country was destroyed, Han Tongwen scolded in his heart.

According to Han Tongwen's thoughts, he was unwilling to restrain himself to struggle in the court, he preferred to live that kind of free and easy life, he was very envious of Mo Zongli's chic, Yangshan thieves only believed in one, free and easy, happy and hateful, scolded if he was unhappy, scolded but couldn't start, like this in the court of grievances he lived a very uncomfortable day every day. Just like now, I obviously came up with an excellent idea for them, but I can't convince them to say anything, I can't serve you, I don't care what kind of emperor you are, Lao Tzu left the Tang Dynasty by boat, the emperor is far away, what can you do with me. Han Tongwen is indeed angry.

"What does Tongwen say," Pei Yan reminded in a low voice.

"Wechen lost his words, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins" Han Tongwen bowed "Wechen feels that he is not qualified for the position of government decree, please take it back, Wechen is only willing to be my grass people"

"Are you trying to pick a pick?" Li Zhi asked with a frown

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Weichen is a small person in the mountains and wilderness, and he is used to being wild, and he has not been able to restrain his words and deeds by Mr. Li's side. Moreover, Weichen's wisdom is not enough to hold this position, and he can't think of a decree that can protect everyone's interests and satisfy the people of Xizhou Beiting. The first emperor said that the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, and the decree that Weichen came up with was vulgar, and the implementation of the fear caused the people's resentment to set off stormy waves. If His Majesty agrees, Weichen will notify Dai Zhao and Liu Sanjia after he goes back, so that they don't have to make any more useless efforts" Han Tongwen was completely disappointed in these people, and his efforts were to hope that the people of Beiting would not have the terrifying scene on Han Lao Zhuangzi again, but these people were greedy for profit, and they didn't care about the lives of the people at all, and they were reluctant to pay taxes in Beiting and Xizhou.

Shangguan Yi looked at Han Tongwen differently, at least he was the first young man who dared to sarcastically mock the emperor and empress in person. I don't worry that the emperor will be guilty, there is no precedent for Datang to be convicted for disagreeing with the emperor and empress, if there is, Jin Taiyan, the Wenzong, is not enough to die ten times.

"You are equivalent to stripping these two states out of the control of my Datang, looking for you like this, these two states will become a paradise for merchants, how can the land of my Datang allow these merchants to act recklessly. ”

"Niangniang, what is wanton and reckless! The merchant is one of the four people, and he is also the people of my Datang, and my people of the Tang Dynasty operate in the land of Datang, how can I say that they are reckless?"

"Alright, that's enough," Li Zhi interrupted, "If I follow your decree, you are almost certain that these two states will be restored to their original state."

"Eighty percent!"

"Okay, that's enough, just follow yours. This world is the world of my Li family, and all the people are the people of my Li family, and I will issue the decree you ask."

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

After Han Tongwen and Pei Yan retired, only Empress Wu and the emperor were left in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, in all fairness, the decree that Han Tongwen came up with is brilliant, but you shouldn't agree to him so easily," said Empress Wu

"Why"

"It can be expected that within ten years, Xizhou and Beiting will show a take-off trend, and there will be many commercial banks of all kinds, if Beiting and Xizhou are tax-free in this decade, a large amount of wealth will not be able to enter the treasury, and when the ten-year period arrives, the policy changes, such momentum will weaken, and it will be too late to collect taxes."

Li Zhi nodded, "Although the words are good, but this world is my world, and I can't make the already miserable Beiting and Xizhou become desperate places for my own selfish desires."

"Your Majesty's mercy is truly a blessing to all peoples"

"Han Tongwen's attitude today, I'm afraid it has aroused the rebellious side of his heart" Li Zhi sighed, "If it makes him feel bad, it will be difficult for such a person to let him contribute to the country in the future" (To be continued.) )
