As for the trick of changing faces, Chu Qing learned from Qiu Wanshan, and it can be said that he has obtained seven or eight points of true inheritance. When he wanted to fuck someone with his front foot, he pulled the Zhongzhou Army God back to the stool with a smile on his face and made tea himself.
Lan Renshan's words opened a door to a new world for Chu Qing.
The paper in Wangyuan City is not "cannot be sold", but "cannot be sold".
At that time, what Chu Qing was saying in Wangyuan City was that it is better to teach people how to fish and donkeys than to teach them how to fish. There must be pillar industries, and paper is one of them.
Paper will definitely become popular throughout Zhongzhou. It is cheap and convenient, and can be used for writing or for writing.
It's just that now when businessmen go to the border, they go to the "wind outlet".
A large number of cattle, sheep, war horses, and animal skins are all in short supply and are much more profitable than paper.
This will definitely not last long. Livestock will give birth to babies, and animal skins are not disposable consumables. Sooner or later, the market will be saturated, and paper will have to be sold by then.
It's just that this "time" will not be known until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. The imperial court, no, to be precise, the Dachang Dynasty owes the Beiguan border army too much.
Many pensions have not yet been paid in place, so they rely on the Border Protection Office. The Border Protection Office has also invested in industries that are sure to make money without losing money. However, these industries have not yet reached the stage of making money, and short-term and fast operations cannot be achieved.
Lan Renshan's sentence about whether the court is short of money or the border is short of money goes straight to the essence of the problem.
The taxes collected at the border customs need to be sent to the court, which will allocate them uniformly. Unless you inform them in advance and tell them where to spend the money, there is no need to send tax money.
Wangyuan City has not paid taxes for a long time. It has nothing to do with this. What matters is the place where merchants pay taxes.
Merchants go to the grasslands to buy cattle, sheep and other goods from herdsmen, and they have to sell them in the customs. At this stage of sales, they pay taxes, but the taxes paid have nothing to do with the border customs. They are not collected by the border customs, even if Chu Qing does not allow the border customs.
If you pay the tax to the court, there will be no tax to pay at the border.
Then another way of thinking is that if merchants import paper from the border, they can deduct taxes from the taxes paid by various state governments, and even the taxes that need to be paid when arriving in Beijing. The problem will be solved easily.
When the paper is sold, the merchants pay less tax, but they also make less money, and this less money is actually made by the border customs, through selling paper.
This is definitely not a long-term solution, but it can solve an urgent need.
Paper needs to be promoted, through merchants, which is similar to a publicity.
This is ancient times, not future generations.
Not to mention paper, Chu Qing’s pencils are not promoted by many local and state governments.
When merchants sell paper to various places, the demand for paper will increase. At that time, the paper at the border will not have to worry about selling. At that time, they can organize their own people to form a caravan to sell.
Nangong Ping was a smart man. He immediately thought of the key point and nodded repeatedly: "Master Chu, if you do it this way, why worry about not being able to sell the paper."
"That's the truth."
Chu Qing poured another cup of tea for Lan Renshan, who looked like a rabbit, and said happily: "I didn't see it, A Lan has a very sharp mind."
This is Chu Qing. When he is in a hurry, his surname is Lan. When he is using someone else's name, he is Brother Lan. He almost plagiarizes other people's ideas and becomes Alan again.
"This tea is really good." Lan Renshan really likes drinking tea and said cheerfully: "I will try it again."
"Then you drink it. It's okay. I'll ask someone to pour more water in."
Lan Renshan: “…”
Nangong Ping suppressed a smile.
When you say you want to taste it, you should usually say I'll give it to you two taels instead of pouring some hot water into it.
Chu Qing is not pretending to be stupid, he is really stupid, because he has never done this before and never thought of it.
Nangong Ping opened the small book and continued: "Master Chu, there is also the matter of Shang Yun Dao. The shipyard and dock have been built. Mr. Mo said that the warships of the Kingdom of the Sun need to be improved quickly before they can be improved.
I have learned from this and gathered the strengths of each family. We should stop building warships for a while. The student thinks it is reasonable, but if we stop, a large number of people will have no work to do, and there are three roads in the East China Sea, and you have nothing to say.
The pillars of…”
"Pillar industry."
"Yes, there is no pillar industry in Shangyun, so what should we do?"
Before Chu Qing could speak, Lan Renshan spit out some tea foam and said, "Invite investment."
Nangong Ping: “…”
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "You still want to attract investment?"
"Not bad, investment promotion."
"What can I buy with tax deduction? Salted fish."
Lan Renshan put down his tea cup and took out his ears: "I have spent a lot of time in Shangyun, so I can say that there are many craftsmen in Taizhou, and they are all craftsmen. The craftsmanship in making wood is far from that of the craftsmen in Beijing.
Comparable."
"Just having an idea is of no use, only a project has no money, so you invest money."
"Recruit merchants and invest money."
Chu Qing seemed to understand: "If you have a project but no money, why don't you just look for money and investors?"
Lan Renshan didn't understand what a project was, so he just nodded.
"That is to say, if you have a project but no money, you can find investors; if you have money but no project, you can find a project..."
After a pause, Chu Qing asked: "What if you have money and a project?"
"Of course not, find a place to do it!"
"Then what should we do if many places in the East China Sea have no money, no projects, and no technology?"
"Lease the land and let people with projects, money, food, and skills do it... As you said, lease the land and let people with projects, money, food, and skills do it."
Chu Qing was a little bit arrogant: "Then what if you have no technology, no projects, no money, and absolutely no land?"
"Be famous, use your name."
"Brand...brand?!" Chu Qing took a breath and gave a thumbs up: "You can be a general with no problem, damn!"
In a word, General Yunhui, who does not want to be a minister, is not a good investment recruiter.
Nangong Ping was confused when he heard this, while Chu Qing suddenly realized.
This is what attracting investment means!
If you have a project, find funding.
If you have funds, look for projects.
If you have projects and funds, find a place to settle and increase local tax revenue.
There is a project, a brand, technology, and funding.
If it really doesn’t work and you don’t have anything, then sell the land!
It can be said that in the land of Zhongzhou and Dachang, there is really no place that wants nothing. Projects, funds, technology, and land must occupy at least the same amount. Even in the most remote places, there is land.
"That's not right." Chu Qing reacted: "What if it's a very remote place? If you just have land, what are you doing?"
"The more remote the place, the cheaper the wages, so merchants can be asked to build workshops."
"What's the use? The transportation is not convenient."
"To build a road, the court allocates money. After the road is built, the people go to work. After making money, they have to spend it. Businessmen flock to the road, invest more money, build workshops, um, attract business, and attract businessmen."
Chu Qing shouted at the door: "Second call, get all the tea leaves from the palace, wrap them up, and give them to Brother Lan... No, no, no, send them directly to Lan Mansion, quickly, immediately, immediately!"
