Cui Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue made an excellent choice!
Promote Li Yuanxing's affairs and satisfy the emperor, and then the aristocratic families will also get enough benefits!
Li Yuanxing admired him in his heart. Who said the ancients were stupid? It was just that the ancients had less information. If these people's wisdom were compared to modern times, they would definitely be super talented at playing tricks.
"One hundred thousand cash in cash, plus supervision from the Foreign Commerce Department!" This was the condition offered by Cui Shilang.
Wei Zheng shouted: "Too little!"
Is it less? Cui Shilang is also thinking about how much one hundred thousand guan is. At present, the silk takeout business in the entire Tang Dynasty has almost stopped, so a price increase is necessary. The price sold to the foreign gang should be at least 100 guan per piece.
Or even higher, the profit from one horse is at least sixty guan after deducting taxes, labor and other expenses.
Then, that is the profit from the shipment of two thousand pieces of silk.
It seems that it is really a bit less. But we dare not let the merchants pledge too much money, which will affect the merchants' money transfer. It is okay to increase it. It is absolutely not possible to pledge 10,000 pieces of silk according to what Wei Heizi said.
, this quantity is too huge.
Li Er was also calculating in his mind. Changsun Huhu had already told him that when the silk trade market reopened, the export price of a piece of silk would never be less than one hundred guan. According to this figure, 10,000 pieces would be one million guan.
This value was so huge that Li Er felt dizzy.
Of course, the result will definitely not be like this.
This process made Li Er very happy, and he still watched with a smile.
The royal naming rights require a pledge of 180,000 guan. The royal naming rights also require a pledge of 80,000 guan for each family.
Wei Heizi was originally dissatisfied with this price, but Cui Shilang added one more. The commercial taxes of these ten companies are guaranteed. If the price is lower than a certain amount, their power will be revoked. However, this number needs to be calculated in detail.
Li Yuanxing said 500,000 guan, and Li Er mentioned 200,000 guan. Now it seems that both Li Er and Li Yuanxing underestimated the financial resources of these aristocratic families. It is true that they are as rich as the country.
The conclusion has been finalized, but the specific operational procedures will take a few more days.
Li Yuanxing published another book, which is about the Tiande tax, Tianzhi tax, the establishment of Tiande Medical Officer, and the naming rights. For example, the name of a certain chamber of commerce is added in front of the name of this medical clinic. This is virtue.
This is benevolence, this is reputation.
The specific details still needed to be discussed, and Li Yuanxing was too lazy to participate.
There was so much noise today that it was already past noon in the next court. Old Devil Cheng wanted to treat Li Yuanxing to a drink, but Li Yuanxing was in a hurry to go back to Qin Wangzhuang. Today was the time for him to return to the modern world. By the way, he took him out of the palace
I packed a box with some treasures from the previous dynasty and tribute items from previous countries, and took away the barrier knife that Li Er had when he ascended the throne.
"Old Cheng, tell Brother Li that we have 300,000 yuan to fight the war!" Li Yuanxing smiled, his expression a bit cunning.
Only then did Old Devil Cheng realize that the problem of food and grass was not a big problem in fighting the Turks. With money, buying food and grass was a small problem. The last big problem now was the lack of military strength and ordnance. Chang'an currently has a standing army of 100,000, but
You must not use almost damaged ordnance against Turks.
If you want to fight and beat the Turks into dogs, you must have sophisticated weapons. This kind of momentum, armament, and combat effectiveness will make the Turks afraid.
"Let's drink with Wu Lang another day!" After Cheng Yaojin figured it out, he ignored Li Yuanxing and ran away quickly.
When Li Yuanxing left the palace gate, he had no chance to say hello to other officials. Because of his aloof status, the carriage was first in line outside the palace gate.
After getting on the carriage, Li Yuanxing directly ordered: "Return to Qin Wangzhuang quickly!"
The driver was a sergeant carefully selected by Lao Lang. The distinction between the village and the mansion was very clear. The village was the Zhuangzi under construction at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the mansion was the Prince of Qin's Mansion in Chang'an City, which was adjacent to the imperial palace.
The piece of land occupied by Li Yuanxing at the corner of the Qinling Mountains is the location of modern Ziwu Town. There were originally several small villages here. Because Li Yuanxing occupied the land, these villages were relocated to other places. The people who moved here were all military households.
The Mingde Gate in ancient Chang'an was near the intersection of the current Chang'an Third Ring Road and Zhuque Road (the author's own calculation, please correct me if I am wrong!)
From the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, the distance to Qinwangzhuang is about twenty kilometers in modern times.
If you drive a Hyundai car and walk on the spacious Meridian Avenue, you can get there in twenty minutes.
But in the Tang Dynasty, these forty miles of road, and there were no very good official roads. It could be completed in more than half an hour on horseback alone, but Li Yuanxing had the Qin King's defense team and the Qin King's honor guard. This forty miles of road almost took
Two hours. At modern speed, each hour is ten miles, about five kilometers.
It was already past noon, and it would take some time for Li Yuanxing to get from the palace to Mingde Gate. He might be able to get back to Qinwangzhuang at five or six in the afternoon.
The road was not very good, the carriage was shaking, and Li Yuanxing was drowsy on the carriage.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, and Old Wolf came over to report: "Your Highness, the Magistrate of Chang'an County is blocking the carriage!"
If the person on the carriage is an ordinary person, the report is that the Magistrate of Chang'an County is asking for an audience. If it were an ordinary official, it is the Magistrate of Chang'an County who is asking for an audience. But the King of Qin who is sitting on the carriage is just a Magistrate of Chang'an County who is asking for an audience on the road, then
He just stood in the way. As long as Li Yuanxing showed any displeasure, the Chang'an County Magistrate would be driven away with sticks.
"County magistrate!?" Li Yuanxing asked in confusion.
The old wolf also asked: "Go and beat him away!"
"No, since he is an official of one parent, just meet him!" Although Li Yuanxing could not guess the reason, according to modern thinking, the Chang'an County Magistrate is probably a senior official in charge of his own area. In modern times, a district chief
That was a big shot in Li Yuanxing's eyes.
Not to mention modern times, even in ancient times, he was a very important person in the eyes of ordinary people.
The awnings, mats, tea, and fruits were completely arranged in less than a few minutes, and they were placed on the open space on the roadside. The Tang Dynasty had a green seedling law, and no one was allowed to destroy the green seedlings. Li Yuanxing would not violate this either.
"Du Zichun, Magistrate of Chang'an County, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Du. You are still inspecting the fields in such a bright sun. You are sweating profusely when you come in to drink a glass of water. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly. Although I am very pressed for time, if your matter is important,
Naturally, I will listen patiently to what you have to say, please be clear."
Li Yuanxing is becoming more and more talkative now. He first told the county magistrate, "My time is tight, so don't talk nonsense. I will listen to what is important. If it is not important, don't speak."
"Returning to His Highness the King of Qin, Xiaguan's original official office was in Chang'an City, a subsidiary of Chang'an County. Yesterday, he received an order to move his official office to the south. He came here to check the terrain and choose the location of the official office. Another thing is, Xiaguan
The official received requests from many businessmen this morning. They requested to open a foreign market in Chang'an County. I boldly asked His Highness the King of Qin to intervene in this matter. The foreign market requested by the merchants was originally directed at His Highness the King of Qin!"
Li Yuanxing was a little sleepy at first, but now he was not sleepy at all.
He understood clearly that the senior officials in Chang'an City had given themselves the management rights of Chang'an County.
The purpose of those businessmen who want to get closer to themselves should not be that complicated. This is a good thing. Since they want to change the Tang Dynasty, they should start from Chang'an.
"Chang'an County map!" Li Yuanxing said lightly. Then he made a gesture, and Lao Lang directed a few sergeants to level the ground in front of them, and then gave the county magistrate a branch.
This was a test to see if the Chang'an County Magistrate was a capable official! Li Yuanxing also wanted to see what kind of person the senior officials in Chang'an sent to him.
Li Yuanxing was waiting for the county magistrate to draw a general picture of Chang'an County.
But who would have thought that the county magistrate asked his subordinates to lay out dozens of pieces of oil paper on the ground, and then placed a large piece of white cloth on it. The white cloth was exactly the map of Chang'an County. Looking at the ink marks, it was obviously these
It was done by a genius. There is also a place circled in red pen.
That's where Qin Wangzhuang is.
"Very good. I have heard that the magistrate of Shangxian County is of higher rank. Go back and tell your superior. Chang'an County will be Shangxian County from today. Then you call the representatives of the merchants to come over. They will be outside Qinwangzhuang tomorrow.
I will tell you more in detail. Now, I am tired." Li Yuanxing was very happy.
Some people are smart because their brains are very powerful and they have a photographic memory.
Some people are smart, but even if their brains are not full, they have many ways to do better.
Obviously this county magistrate is the latter.
The county magistrate hurriedly bowed and retreated, asking his subordinates to collect the map and give it to Lao Lang. When Li Yuanxing was about to get on the carriage, he turned back and said: "If I want all the villages in the county to move, or
Re-plan. Go back and get a charter."
"Respect the order of the King of Qin!" The county magistrate respectfully bowed again.
With just a map, he became an official of the sixth rank. The Chang'an County Magistrate was very happy. He didn't need to think about how to curry favor with the superior official. He only had to follow the King of Qin's instructions seriously.
Anyone who can be an official has a high IQ.
The county magistrate didn't understand what kind of power Li Yuanxing represented when he was named King of Qin, but he understood that Li Yuanxing was better than an ordinary prince!
When we returned to Qinwangzhuang, the sun had already set in the west and the sky was turning red.
"Your Highness, I am here to ask Your Highness to tell you whether it will rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so whether to plant seeds!"
Li Yuanxing's face twitched. Do you have to take care of such a small matter by yourself? He replied angrily: "Tell the old man that he will take care of the farming matters himself. I only need him to plant the corn for me."
He has to grow a thousand catties of grain from one acre of land for me, and then I will reward him with money!"
