The yamen's staff were limited, so Zhu San directly borrowed people from the resident defense, and each village sent a food delivery team composed of four people.

In addition to the young warriors brought by Li Zheng himself, there are about ten people, and safety is basically guaranteed.

The bigger bandits have all been eliminated. If there is anyone who doesn't have eyesight and insists on causing trouble, haha...

Station defense is not a decoration. People have tasted the benefits of suppressing bandits last time and wish to come back more often.

During the last bandit campaign, everything cleared out from the bandits' dens was directly "confiscated" by the station defense as military supplies.

Originally, the resident governor Feng Zifeng led his people to suppress bandits, which was costly. The Yamen could not afford the money, so they had to give away the materials for suppressing bandits.

This was also reported to the imperial court after going through Ming Road, and was specially approved by Emperor Qin.

As for the property that Zhu San collected from the criminal family, he had to report it to the court first. After the final review, some of it would be returned to the local government to facilitate his construction.

The remaining bulk will be distributed by the court.

There is no way, the imperial court is also poor this year.

Emperor Qin wanted to carry out construction, repair water conservancy, provide disaster relief, support the army, and provide salaries. He needed money in all aspects. Unfortunately, the court had no other way to get money, except taxation.

However, they still collect taxes from the poorest people in the world - farmers.

Therefore, if someone's house was occasionally raided, for the court, it would be a "big fortune" that could replenish the national treasury.

Emperor Qin had no idea that Zhu San had made such a big move less than a year after he had been in the local government. First, he suppressed bandits and made a fortune for him, then replenished the national treasury, and freed him from military supplies for station defense.

.

In addition, they are also planning to pilot a "commercial tax"?

Before Zhu San's memorial came up, Emperor Qin knew about the situation through a secret line and was amazed. He couldn't wait to try it out, but considering that it was a new thing, he was afraid of causing a backlash from the ministers and businessmen around the world, so he thought

Thinking about it, he decided to wait until Zhu San's pilot project was over.

After being in contact with the Zhu family for so long, Emperor Qin finally knew what a "pilot" was.

This is a good thing. Farming can be "piloted", doing business can be "piloted", even managing a local people can be "piloted".

He rubbed his chin, wanting to get other places to start "pilots" as well.

You try yours and he tries his. With so many people and so many local officials, there is always someone who can try something out, right? It doesn’t need everyone to try it out. As long as there are a few sporadic people who try it out, it can be promoted to the world.

In other places, wouldn’t it be able to play a role in benefiting the country and the people when the time comes?

Moreover, another advantage of piloting in small places is that risks can be minimized. Even if the pilot fails, it will only be a "loss" in this small place and will not affect other places.

Emperor Qin felt that he could still afford the cost of "trial and error".

As a result, Emperor Qin made people pay close attention to Zhujia Village (Anjiu Town) and Qingyuan County. He wanted to see how much surprise these two places could bring him.

Ye Yuran didn't know that her hometown and the place where she was currently staying were "focused". She was very busy now, running out and working on projects, and her life was very fulfilling.

The grain was shipped in batches, and Ye Yuran handed it over to Zhu San instead of taking everything on himself.

It just so happened that Zhu San had a useful master next to him, and he had already learned that he was from Emperor Qin. Ye Yuran made him feel at ease and put everything to good use.

Master Luo Qiushan: "..."

Is he immoral?

Ye Yuran personally took the portion of the "group purchase" from small businessmen and hawkers to the people in the city, instructing them on how to do better business.

When the city began to build earthen kangs in full swing, Zhu San also contracted out various sections of roads, and the families that cooperated with the soy sauce factory and vinegar factory also started construction and built factories.

The "patent fees" and "commercial taxes" introduced by Zhu San made some families a little unhappy, but since Zhu San had just wiped out the bandit den and was still a little heavy-blooded, they did not dare to expose it for fear of being regarded as the bandit's spy.

Or an accomplice dealt with it.

There was no way, when the bandits in Qingyuan County led the families, whether it was to survive or to get a share of the pie, these families were somewhat involved with the bandits.

Zhu San didn't liquidate them, he had already left some room, and they didn't want to be dealt with by Zhu San as a typical example. One of them was too good to be good.

As for the businessmen…

They wished that Zhu San would put this matter in the light. The more things were put in the light, the more capable they were. The more things were hidden in the dark, the more dangerous they were.

Since the magistrate of Qingyuan County has announced that he will collect "commercial tax", what does that mean?

It means that the magistrate of Qingyuan County allows them to do business. As long as they are allowed, what's wrong with paying some "tax"? That "tax" is nothing compared to what they earn.

Of course, what they don't know is that Zhu San is just testing their reaction, so the few project taxes he has temporarily established are not good, they are all people's livelihood projects, and he has also laid out "tax rebates" to make it clear.

He is telling them what he allows and encourages, and what he prohibits and does not encourage.

Disapproval does not mean disapproval. As long as you pay taxes honestly, Qingyuan County will welcome you.

Businessmen who received the news gathered frantically towards Qingyuan County.

The people living in Qingyuan County found that they seemed to be living a very "rich" life this year. Not to mention sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other items that they had never eaten before, even the few New Year supplies in the past had become more abundant this year.

Got a lot.

It seems that many new businessmen have come from other places, crowding the large and small markets, allowing many people in Qingyuan County to earn a lot of "rent".

What does it mean to earn rent?

It means that they have money and want to buy things when they have money.

It just so happened that the merchants had shipped things over. The materials were abundant and the value was more favorable than before. How long would it take if I didn't buy it? If the government policy changes, I won't be able to take advantage of it by then.

When Ye Yuran saw so many businessmen, he quickly reminded Zhu San that he had to put forward the house building plan.

If so many businessmen come, they will have no place to live or shops to rent, which is a disguised form of driving them away. If you want the market to be active and attract more businessmen, you need to provide them with a better "market".

"You collect taxes and set rules. The merchants get a clear identity and can enter the market with confidence. This is one; second, you have to help the merchants build the market so that they can live in peace of mind and the business can be profitable.

Picture..." Ye Yuran pointed out one by one and said, "In this way, they will like to stay in Qingyuan County, and Qingyuan County will be rich in materials and attract more businessmen."

Don't just look at the things brought by merchants. People in Qingyuan County may not necessarily be able to afford them. They may not bring things here to sell to the people in Qingyuan County. They may also choose this place as a "trading point."

A permissible and aboveboard trading point that is both safe and secure. If they don't choose this place, where should they choose?

"Besides, with so many people, they always have to eat and clothe themselves, right? We have to rely on the local people to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation. For the people, this is an 'income'."

"When people have 'income' and have money in their hands, they can spend it freely to buy things. Things that they could not afford before can now be afforded without realizing it."

"As for the Yamen, because of the emergence of merchants, the commercial taxes collected have also increased, and there is more money for infrastructure construction, such as building markets, academies, canals, and..."
