Chapter 58: Thoughts from the Bath

While taking a bath, Liu Fan was thinking, why not build a large bathhouse? When winter comes, it is too cold to take a bath at home. Going to the bathhouse, tsk tsk, rubbing the back and rubbing the shoulders is really one of the great pleasures in life, and more importantly,

Nowadays, there are no bathhouses in Datang. If you open one now, you are just sitting there and collecting money.

But it is possible that he will lose money. After all, who would spend money to take a bath? It would be more comfortable to chop some firewood at home without spending money. But Liu Fan is not short of money now. It doesn't matter even if there are very few people coming to take a bath. He can be alone.

It is also very comfortable for people to wash in winter.

Ma Zhou and Li Yifu should also do it. I heard that some time ago, Li Yifu took a bath every other week and Ma Zhou made fun of him for a long time. Now he can do it once a day, huh! It’s such a happy decision.

After taking a bath, I went to the contractor in the village and said, "I want to build a bathhouse. Here are the drawings. You can see all the details in the drawings. When will it be completed?"

Chen Erxi watched for a long time, and then said with a grimace: "This construction period will probably take a long time. Now everyone is busy installing flush toilets and decorating bathrooms for the nobles' homes in Chang'an City, and their hands are a bit busy!"

Liu Fan was also very happy when he heard about his work arrangement. This was a huge amount of money-making business. They could have a good year this year. He laughed and scolded: "I only know how to work outside and don't even look at what's going on inside the village! I'll follow you."

Say, no matter what method you think of, when the first snow comes in winter, our bathhouse must be completed. If it is not completed by then, humph, don’t even think about asking for ideas from me again in the future!”

Chen Erxi immediately smiled and said: "Farewell, young man, I will never give up what I learned from you in my lifetime. In this way, I will gather some more people from Jinchangfang, and some veterans will be replaced directly, and the novices will be apprentices."

, how about not delaying both sides?"

Liu Fan hummed, and then said seriously: "You can't be greedy for a penny of the money that should be given to them. If someone complains to me, your huge business will be over!"

"Yes, yes, yes, don't dare! Everything is given in real money, and no one is missing a penny!" Chen Erxi promised again and again.

Liu Fan sent Chen Erxi away. This guy is now rich. He has brought his wife and children from other places. He built a new house in Linjia Village according to the plan. Now he can be regarded as settled in Chang'an City and has become one of the people of the new Chang'an City.

One member.

Li Yifu and Ma Zhou are studying new tax policies for merchants. Now the Tang Dynasty taxes merchants at a rate of one-thirtieth. Foreign merchants such as Hu people need to pay additional foreign business tax, but even so, it still makes people pay one-thirtieth.

These businessmen feel that it is a good deal and they can earn enough profits to bring back home by relying on luxury goods.

By the late Tang Dynasty, it would not be so low. By then it would be an astonishing one-tenth!

Linjia Village was not originally subject to taxation, because it was a village in itself and had no possibility of commerce. However, with the development, the benefits generated by such a small village as Linjia Village have been huge enough to exceed the size of Chang'an City.

Most squares will naturally be recorded in Wannian County and submitted once a month.

Regarding taxes, Liu Fan has always supported it. Not only did he support it, but he also asked Ma Zhou to calculate the taxes of the thirty households at the beginning on himself when settling the accounts. Anyway, now that the village has developed, the money they gave in the early stage has also increased.

That's enough for Liu Fan to make up for their taxes in the next three years.

As for ten years, it was just a gambling agreement. Now that the village is developing so well, how can it be possible to continue renting it for free to them?

Li Yifu also participated, and the two of them were calculating the accounts at the same time. With Liu Fan's mathematical foundation, it only took a little time to calculate the accounts, but sometimes you still have to use abacus to get the numbers accurately.

Ma Zhou and Liu Fan had done this kind of thing together before, but now that Li Yifu was involved, Liu Fan just turned a blind eye and chose to wander around the village, hoping to find more good ideas to enrich the village.

The development of the village is sometimes so random, and often an inadvertent discovery can create huge profits. This is a conclusion that can be reached without practice, so more craftsmen in Jinchangfang will move in in the hope that

If you can create enough craftsmanship to eat and drink for a lifetime, even if you can't create it, there are free tutorials in the village. You can follow the veterans to make some mature products, and you can make a lot of money that way. It is better than watching the sky and eating in Chang'an City.

Much more.

The stronger a person's ability is, the more high-quality people he can attract. Now a guy named Wei Mo has come to the village. This guy is not old, but his skills are very good. He can not only master many things in the village,

With perfect copying, you can also create many gadgets, especially your riveting skills, which are even more amazing.

Wei Mo was repairing the recliner, and Liu Fan was watching from the side. He was a fair-skinned young man with a warm smile. His hands were very slender and clean. His fair hands kept picking up the hammer and hitting it again and again.

After a while, the wheelchair was repaired in a short time, then he stood up and saluted: "Wei Mo, see Li Zheng!"

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Don't be so polite. Just come and take a look at what the craftsmen are saying. Well, the craftsmanship is really good!"

Wei Mo raised his eyebrows and said: "Someone also heard that Li Zheng's heart is more skillful than his hands. He got a gadget some time ago. If Li Zheng is free, can you help me solve it?"

After speaking, he took out a few wooden sticks from his pocket.

Liu Fan suddenly laughed and said: "Yeah! Luban Suo, I haven't played this for a long time, let me try it!"

When Liu Fan said Luban Lock, Wei Mo was stunned for a moment. He watched Liu Fan take a few breaths and saw that the assembly was completed. He immediately took out a few more wooden sticks, and the total number of wooden sticks reached nine. Liu Fan was on Wei Mo's side.

Mo put it together again with shocked eyes.

Liu Fan sighed with satisfaction and said: "I can't do it anymore. I haven't played for a long time, and my hands are a little rusty. I played with twelve sticks before, and that thing was more difficult!"

Knowing that Wei Mo quietly took out three more, Liu Fan scratched his head, thinking that there was nothing to do anyway, so he sat down and looked at them one by one, and then put them all together in a moment, "It's okay.

I thought I had forgotten it, but look, you can do pretty well!"

Wei Mo was about to cry but had no tears. This was okay, it was simply too good. I don’t know how many people had troubled the Luban Lock with twelve pieces of wood. Even I had to study for several months before cracking it. I didn’t expect it to happen in such a short time.

Liu Fan completed the assembly.

Wei Mo didn't give up and gave Liu Fan another nine-link ring. Liu Fan almost laughed when he saw it. This thing stumped everyone when he bought a toy for his nephew. He only learned it after watching Du Niang.

At that moment, he untied all the nine links in a few breaths. He looked at Wei Mo with excitement and said, "Is there anything else? I haven't played it for a long time, it's quite fun!"

Wei Mo looked at Liu Fan with a sad face and said, "It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone!"
