Chapter 793 Hes fathers plan VS He Lingchuans plan
"good."
He Lingchuan looked unbelieving: "Can that little road money alone be worth 800,000 taels?"
He Chunhua smiled loudly: "That's great!"
"From the time I took back Heishui City, the taxes on Hongya Road increased gradually every year. Until I left Qiansong County, that trade road could receive 150,000 taels of silver every year. After excluding various expenses, there was always a balance of 40,000 to 50,000 taels.
"." He was once the governor of Qiansong County, and he calculated this account clearly than anyone else. "At that time, there was still the wild sand season, and there were at least more than 80 days of no trade every year; this winter, the wild sand disappeared, and grass began to grow in the Panlong Desert.
.If Kuangsha stops coming in the future, the money earned from this trade route will be even more!"
He Lingchuan asked: "Hey, are you saying that the Kuangsha Season is over?"
"It's gone, not even the Three Corpse Insects are gone. The Panlong Desert now is no different from other deserts."
He Lingchuan looked incredulous: "What's the reason?"
"Who knows?" He Chunhua smiled bitterly, "I have been guarding Blackwater City for many years, but I still haven't been able to figure out the secret of Panlong Desert."
"There is some chaos in the western countries, which has led to a huge increase in passenger flow on the Hongya Trade Road since last year." Many foreign businessmen may not necessarily come to Yuan to do business, but will use the Hongya Trade Road to transit here. "If the wild sand season disappears,
The taxes on the Hongya Trade Road must be even more substantial. Don’t forget, all the money collected is real cash. It’s not like a mine that has to be dug, refined, and later transported and traded. It can be said that the cost is low and the money comes quickly.
.”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. Hongya Commercial Road was a cash cow, a serious high-quality asset. What reason did Rongshan have not to want it?
"So there is no problem at all in leasing this trade route to the Rongshan Sect for thirty to forty years at a price of 1.5 million to 2 million taels."
He Lingchuan touched his chin: "Your Majesty, are you willing to use it as payment?" Isn't the thing that Yuan Kingdom lacks the most is cash?
"Actually, the tax money that Hongya Trading Road pays to the state treasury every year is far less than what I said." He Chunhua smiled mysteriously, "Your Majesty may regard it as worthless and would like to exchange it for it."
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, "I understand."
There are a lot of twists and turns here, and this cheap guy is not a good guy.
"I will go to the palace later to discuss the matter, so I will advise you directly. In this way, the assessment of the Hongya Trade Route will be very simple. You sign the 3.7 million taels of military assets first, and then I will
Let's lead the Rongshan people to conduct an on-the-spot investigation on the Hongya Trading Road." He Chunhua said seriously, "If the matter is urgent, follow the authority."
He Lingchuan thought for a while.
In fact, the people of Rongshan are not afraid that the Yuan Kingdom will default on its debts or make false claims. After all, these more than three million taels of military supplies are just the down payment, and there are still more than three million taels waiting to be signed.
"That's okay too."
He Chunhua suddenly took a long breath and relaxed.
Even he didn't realize that the eldest son's affirmation was so important.
He Lingchuan looked at him and smiled: "Why do I think dad has become very anxious?"
"We can't do it if we don't rush." He Chunhua said with emotion, "There are good reasons for sending troops or not sending troops. I just sway between these reasons."
However, He Lingchuan felt that He Chunhua had other reasons for changing his attitude and rushing to send troops, and he never mentioned it on the table.
"That is to say, first go to the south to quell the rebellion, and then go west to Hongya Road to assess the road tax?"
He Chunhua hummed: "That's basically it. What do you think?"
For the first time, he asked his eldest son for his opinion on such major military and political matters because He Lingchuan had to supervise the use and whereabouts of the borrowed money from beginning to end.
He Lingchuan smiled: "I think it will work."
He Chunhua was about to stand up when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I will pass by Xianling Lake on my way south. Do you have the tears of the crocodile demon in your hand?"
This dad has a really good memory. He Lingchuan himself thought about it for a few breaths before saying, "That's right."
He had helped the crocodile god by the fairy lake and asked his father to find him a job in the water. So the giant crocodile gave him a tear and promised that if he used it by the fairy lake, he would be rewarded.
"Lend it to me." He Chunhua said seriously, "Its abilities are perfect for Longchuan!"
He Lingchuan did not hide his secrets. He took out a small glass bottle from the storage ring and threw it to He Chunhua: "Stay away from the water when summoning the crocodile, otherwise it won't be able to see me and won't know what it will do."
At that moment, He Chunhua stood up to pay the bill and left in a hurry.
He Lingchuan walked downstairs slowly and rode his sheep back home.
There are very few people on this road.
Mortgaging the Hongya Trade Road is a good idea. If He Chunhua makes this suggestion to King Yuan, there is a 90% chance that it will be approved.
Jing Jing was very surprised: "As you expected, he really wanted to use Hongya Trading Road as a mortgage! How did you calculate in advance?"
"You don't understand." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "This is called psychological suggestion."
He must let He Chunhua take the initiative to mortgage the Hongya Trading Road.
High-quality assets, stable income, clear accounts, and convenient on-site inspections. Even if there are such good assets in the Kite Kingdom, He Chunhua may not know about them. After all, how long has it been since he became a high-ranking official in the country?
But he has lived in Blackwater City for more than 20 years and is familiar with everything about Hongya Road. The best asset that he can think of in a short period of time is of course this trade road!
Not to mention, the strange news from Panlong Desert has been delivered to He Chunhua one after another recently, which will subconsciously deepen his impression of Panlong Desert and Hongya Trade Road.
In fact, the above requirements made by He Lingchuan were originally tailor-made for Hongya Road. His understanding of this trade road is no less than that of He Chunhua.
However, this proposal must be thought up by He Chunhua himself in a flash of inspiration, and He Chunhua must be made to think that he has the initiative.
He Chunhua would only be proud of the plan he led and would not be wary of it.
Only in this way, he and Naraku Genius will not doubt He Lingchuan's behavior.
So far, every step of He Chunhua's reaction has been based on He Lingchuan's expectations.
The first step of planning is completed.
"It seems that the loan progress and the southward schedule will be greatly advanced." He Lingchuan pondered, "I only gave a little hint, and dad immediately mentioned the Hongya Trade Road. It seems that he is very anxious to go to Panlong Desert."
The soul-capturing mirror in his arms asked curiously: "What is he so anxious about?"
There were more pedestrians on the road ahead, and He Lingchuan kept silent.
…
He Chunhua had lunch with friends, then found a safe and quiet place, closed the doors and windows again, took out the idol, burned incense and prayed.
After a while, Nai Luotian's voice rang:
"What else happened?"
It's a little impatient.
He Chunhua said: "There is an abnormality in Panlong Desert, do you know about it?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and Nai Luotian paused for a while before asking him: "What clues do you have?"
