If everyone fails, how is this going to work? This was the first time Chen Xi wanted to do something big. What's even more embarrassing this time is that as the first person to do it, he couldn't give examples to others. As for ambitious goals, what do you think of Jia Xu? Crowds of people can be swayed so easily!
"Pa!" Chen Xi slapped the table, "I remember I have the right to directly veto your decision!" Chen Xi looked at the group of people in front of him angrily. He finally understood why the ancient reformers It is the Iron-Blooded Sect. Now he is just making a small change. Because of possible problems, this group of people began to persuade him!
"Zichuan, you don't have to be like this. Fenggao, and even the whole Taishan, Qingzhou's development situation is excellent, there is no need to take such a strange risk!" Lu Su, as a stable person and a good old man, saw that Chen Xi was the first to stand. After all, the situation in Taishan and Qingzhou is indeed very good now. There is no need to resort to such dangerous methods. What if it crashes?
Chen Xi choked, then glared at everyone, "There is indeed no problem with the development of Mount Tai and Qingzhou. It is precisely because of this advantage that we can surpass the princes from all directions. To put it bluntly, who is the strongest in the world now! Is it us!" It¡¯s just that we can¡¯t take action! If we are willing to lose our foundation, we can severely damage any princes along the way!¡±
"Yes, yes, we are indeed the strongest among all the princes, and we also show our threat when necessary. It is precisely because of this strength that the princes from all over the world watch our development without provoking us. We Can't we develop well?" Liu Ye said, holding his head, Liu Bei's current situation is very good. . . As long as Qingzhou is conquered safely and without any accidents, it will be enough to firmly ascend to the position of the strongest prince. Why take risks? Maybe if you don't harm your own strength, wouldn't you be looking for trouble?
"I am developing well. With the current stable development, how much progress do you think we can make by consolidating and Qingzhou's situation next year? Of course I admit that it will definitely be much better than now, but where is Yuan Benchu? Where is Yuan Gongli? Where is Cao Mengde? ?" Chen Xi stared at the group of people in front of him angrily. He was now in a state of one-on-one confrontation, and they all opposed it!
"What Zichuan said makes sense. You must know that Cao Mengde is now shrinking his troops to consolidate the three places of Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Wancheng. Cao Mengde will not be much weaker than us in a year. We have consolidated Qingzhou, and they have almost consolidated these places. "Similarly, Yuan Jiujiu will have almost stabilized the latest captured area by this time next year." Jia Xu took over and acknowledged Chen Xi's words.
"And all of us know that Cao Mengde is training troops and is not playing serious tricks with Yuan Jiujiu, so in terms of actual losses. The actual loss of soldiers of Cao Mengde and Yuan Jiujiu will not be very large. And the extent of our damage in Yuzhou is not that big. The four newly acquired counties with Yuan Jiu are all prosperous! Yuan Jiu will not necessarily be weak this time next year! As for Yuan Benchu, the situation is not good!" Jia Xu cited a series of examples to prove that all parties are developing, so they should consolidate their advantages. It was very important. Liu Ye was trembling with anger. This was different from what he had promised!
Seeing Liu Ye trembling and trembling, Chen Xi looked proud, and Jia Xu changed the subject, "It's because all parties are developing. We can't let go of our current advantages." Chen Xi was startled when he heard this, and felt something bad. Feel.
Sure enough, Jia Xu opened his mouth and fell directly towards Liu Ye. "At this time, seeking stability is far more important than taking risks. We are not in danger to that extent yet. We can develop our strength according to the original rhythm and steadily surpass Cao Mengde's front line. There is no need to try such a dangerous plan. Once something goes wrong, Not only will we lose our existing advantages, but we will also see orders being changed overnight, which is a major blow to the government¡¯s credibility that has finally been stabilized!¡±
Jia Xu¡¯s reasons are simply impeccable. No matter which direction you look at it, there is no loophole, which directly blocks Chen Xi¡¯s room for rebuttal.
"Jia Wenhe!" Chen Xi gritted his teeth and stared at Jia Xu.
"I'm sorry, this matter concerns the common people, I can only put personal relations behind." Jia Xu said solemnly.
"Should I say that you distinguish between public and private matters?" Chen Xi asked speechlessly.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Jia Xu said calmly.
"You guy!" Chen Xi completely lost his temper.
"Forget it, let's put it another way. Our current advantage is not enough to allow us to directly overwhelm the four parties next year. It is even a bit too much to say that in the current form, after Cao Cao sharpens his sword with Yuan Shu and consolidates himself, we Can it be as easy to convince as it is now?" Chen Xi had no choice but to change the topic. There is no precedent for transaction tax, and it is impossible to win no matter how hard you argue.
This time, everyone present stopped talking. It is obvious that Cao Cao, who has consolidated himself, is also very powerful. You must know that in the judgment of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Cao Cao is a more dangerous supernova than Yuan Shao! Of course, it is estimated that now in Cao Cao's intelligence system, Liu Bei also??A more dangerous supernova than Yuan Shao.
"This is not a reason for us to pass your dangerous plan." Guo Jia, who was not drunk for the first time, tapped his fingers on the table, "We can't give up our current advantage. If your method fails, we will We can¡¯t afford a counterattack next year, but we do need to think of a way. We must consolidate our advantages and expand them at the same time!¡±
"Actually, I think Zichuan's approach can be implemented." Fazheng weakly waved the flag for Chen Xi and shouted, well, Fazheng is just here to increase his presence. No matter which side he is on, everyone ignores his existence. After all, Chen Xi has said it a long time ago, before Fa Zheng meets the requirements, you will be hidden by us, and we will not include you in the establishment.
"Xiao Zhi" At this time, Chen Xi forgot everything he said before without saying a word. He finally had a supporter, "Xiao Zhi, I will recommend you as the Prime Minister of Qi when I get back. This is how a pure man should be, follow me firmly. mix!"
"Xiao Zhi?" "Xiao Zhi?" Jia Xu and Guo Jia all turned their heads and stared at the rebellious younger brother. In an instant, Fazheng felt pressure.
"The Taishan Intelligence Organization is much better than the Prime Minister of Qi, hahahaha" After hesitating for less than three seconds, Fazheng became a walleye and then defected back. This integrity simply made Chen Xi feel angry.
"Okay. Now it's us who are going to attack you again." Lu Su patted Fazheng on the shoulder and said don't worry about Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they won't do anything to you. Then he turned around and stared at Chen Xi.
"Zizhong, tell me, what do you think of my new business law?" Chen Xi turned to stare at Mi Zhu and asked with burning eyes.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Mi Zhu, who was hiding in the crowd, walked out helplessly. As soon as he came back, he was pulled to the Government Affairs Office by Chen Xi. Then, as soon as the new commercial law was taken out, the situation became like this. Liu Ye almost started a fight with Chen Xi. Do you have! Let me choke you! Ask him again now?
As expected, Liu Ye, Jian Yong, and Lu Su all gave way to Mi Zhu. Then everyone stared at Mi Zhu, even Fazheng stared blankly at Mi Zhu, and Fazheng said that he was very angry now. Although he is a trumpet, the trumpet will grow into a big one, and he will explode!
What can Mi Zhu say? He also read the new method before. It couldn't be better for any businessman. As a businessman, that would be great, but as Liu Bei's subordinate, wouldn't this harm Liu Bei's interests? Doesn't harming Liu Bei's interests harm everyone's interests? Therefore, this kind of commercial law must not be passed!
After all, money is no longer so important to Mi Zhu now. As a businessman, there is no future as an official. Liu Xuande is a figure who may reach the top in Mi Zhu's opinion. You must know that Mi Zhu is not from a humble background, and Mi Zhen's identity is If she can't be Liu Bei's current wife, otherwise Mi Zhu would think that marrying Liu Bei would be a good choice. After all, Liu Bei is only thirty years old now!
It is precisely because of this that Mi Zhu will not pass this new law even if he is beaten to death. If he makes less money, Liu Bei will become stronger. Mi Zhu estimated that the billions of dollars was wasted, and he probably didn't feel any pressure after hearing the news, so he just spent money to buy an official. He didn't have the qualifications to buy one before. He didn't mind this kind of hidden official purchase. After all, Liu Bei Yue The stronger, the greater the reward for Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu feels that this kind of thing is acceptable!
As for Chen Xi¡¯s new business method, which allows him to make money and weaken Liu Bei, go to hell. Money is as important as official position, and money is as important as backing? Are you kidding me? The profit-seeking nature of businessmen makes Mi Zhu very clear about the gains and losses. Therefore, he is more determined than anyone else present and firmly disagrees with this deceptive business law!
"Zichuan, I have no chance of passing this business law here. I put all my wealth on the lord. I don't have the ability of you people. I only have money and loyalty. If the lord fails, I will be buried. I All I can do is be absolutely loyal to my lord, so there is no way I can pass this kind of tax law that may harm my lord's interests." Mi Zhu said bitterly, without any room for change, and directly rejected Chen Xi's proposal.
Mi Zhu's frank words made everyone present feel sad. Mi Zhu is different from them. If Liu Bei loses, they will at most switch to others. Depending on their ability, there will be people who want them anywhere, even if they are defeated, as long as they No one will trouble them if they live in seclusion, and Mi Zhu, merchants are extremely humble in this era, so if Liu Bei loses, the best outcome for the Mi family is to leave a trace of incense
"Oh, I understand." Chen Xi sighed, unable to continue the discussion. No one would agree. There is no precedent and everyone needs to think about it at this time. What they did was not wrong, even if Chen Xi knew Transaction tax has only advantages and no disadvantages, and there is no way to explain it.
"Zichuan, if one day we completely suppress?Sifang, you can try this new method when the time comes, but please block it now. After all, this period is somewhat inappropriate. "Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and found that Chen Xi was in a low mood, so he sighed and said.
¡¾Pressure from all directions? ¡¿Chen Xi smiled wryly and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, "You go do your own thing first and let me calm down."
Everyone present was not an idiot. Seeing Chen Xi's expression of despair, they knew what was going on, so they left one by one, leaving Chen Xi sitting alone in the Government Affairs Hall to think about everything quietly.
Chen Xi knew very well that if the transaction tax was not implemented now, it would never be possible again. As for Lu Su's so-called coercion of all parties, it was more of an excuse. The situation at that time was more critical than now. If you try to do something, there may be a rebound in all directions. At that time, stability was more important than now. If you can't pass it now, can you pass it then?
As for the future when the world is under great rule, it will be even more difficult to implement it. At that time, Chen Xi will even speak. All the ministers will also oppose it. At that time, the political enemy is Qingliu. Celebrities, gain reputation. In the end, once it becomes a factional fight, there is no hope at all. Once any good thing is inserted into a factional fight, it will become a butt problem. If it becomes a butt problem, there is no need to fight. It is purely for the sake of fighting. And fought.
Chen Xi held his head and sat in the Government Affairs Hall drinking tea. Gradually, his eyes glowed fiercely. Since he knew that this matter was absolutely correct, why would he give in? If you give in the first time, there will be a second time. You can admit your mistakes if you are wrong. But this matter has been verified by history to be correct, so let¡¯s do it. It won¡¯t matter if everyone blocks it. It can only prove that I am stronger than you! Smarter!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi put down the tea cup in his hand. A sneer appeared on his face. In Taishan, what everyone says can be counted, but there is only one person who says it must be counted, and that is Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei walks around like a mascot all day long, the one who truly holds the real power must be Liu Bei! There are some things that Chen Xi can't do, but that doesn't mean Liu Bei can't do it!
Do whatever you want, Chen Xi can't believe that Liu Bei has become corrupted in glory and wealth so quickly, which has sapped his fighting spirit. A self-made man is definitely not weak in terms of courage!
"Click!" Chen Xi pushed the door open and entered. Xu Chu was not far from the door.
"My lord is in the bedroom now." Xu Chu said to Chen Xi with a slightly troubled expression. And the sound is a little too loud.
Chen Xi plucked his ears and glanced at Xu Chu with a strange look on his face. What happened to this guy today? He made such a loud announcement. In the past, wasn't he just pretending to be a stone sculpture, so he just pretended not to see it?
It is said that the place where Liu Bei originally lived was under construction, so he moved to a place a few steps away from Chen Xi's house. In fact, the previous courtyard was also a few steps away from Chen's house. As long as Liu Bei did not say anything, no one was allowed to enter. Chen Xi entered Liu Bei There would be no one blocking the door of the house. When Xu Chu saw Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Chen Xi running to Liu Bei's house, he would usually stand at the door like a stone sculpture. This was really strange.
As for the courtyard under construction, Liu Bei had seen what it meant to burn money. Zhang was dizzy after looking at the building materials. Naturally, Liu Bei also felt that something was not suitable. However, he was sent away by Chen Xi. What Chen Xi said was nothing. It was only a billion dollars, which almost made Liu Bei suffer a heart attack. He turned around and asked Chen Xi why he didn't invest the money into the people.
Chen Xi is still very satisfied with this. Liu Bei remembered to ask the people when he almost recovered from a heart attack. Chen Xi is very satisfied. It would be incredible if he could pretend to be benevolent to this extent.
Chen Xi's answer at the time left Liu Bei speechless, "These things were earned by doing a small business last year when I was bored, so I planned to independently fund the construction of a library. There were a lot of materials, so I brought them to Duke Xuande to build." One building.¡±
Zhang's beauty was alluring when she said this. Chen Xi knew how to make money, Liu Bei knew it, and so did Zhang, but it was a bit unbelievable that he could make money like that. However, Liu Bei only had two contributions in the book to renovate Taishan's residence, one was manpower, and the other was money. The total cost of the materials is only a few million, which is far from the billions Chen Xi mentioned.
In other words, Chen Xi¡¯s luxury is also a luxury for his own family. It has nothing to do with Taishan¡¯s treasury. Let alone build one for Liu Bei, no one can say anything if he builds one for himself.
Generally speaking, women are very interested in shiny things, and the quality of the building materials produced by Chen Xi may be questionable, but there is absolutely no problem with sparkling, so Zhang's appeal is very sufficient, and Liu Bei may think it is luxurious. But Mrs. Zhang is already wondering whether to try building one for her own home, even though it would cost a lot
Liu Bei also scolded Chen Xi for being too extravagant. However, given that Chen Xi said that having this money invested and not having this money invested actually made a difference toThere was basically no change at all under this rule. After Liu Bei asked Li You, Li You also gave the same conclusion, and Liu Bei said nothing.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it were really more than a billion dollars, it would be impossible to invest any more to help places like Qingzhou and Taishan, but if it were only a million dollars, forget it, that would be a joke.
Pushing the door open, Liu Bei was sitting alone in the bedroom reading a book.
"Hmm" Chen Xi shook his head from side to side, wondering why he wasn't reading in the study but in the bedroom, and the smell of incense in the bedroom seemed a bit strange today.
"Zichuan, it's rare that you come to my place except when I invite you to dinner." Liu Bei slowly turned a page of the book before putting down the Chinese book in his hand. He asked with a smile on his face, but he didn't know if it was Chen Xi's misunderstanding or something else. He always felt that Liu Bei's smile today was a bit far-fetched.
But Chen Xi has something big to say now. Naturally, he completely ignored these details and said, "Mr. Xuande, I have something to ask of you!"
"It's easy to say, Zichuan can take whatever he likes from home." Liu Bei said very grandly.
"" Chen Xi stared at Liu Bei. After seeing Liu Bei feel a little ashamed, he said, "I have a plan. Under the rule of Fu Xuande, the wealth of a county can be compared to that of a state. But no one has ever used this method, so Zijing Waiting for someone to ask for stability and not passing!¡±
Liu Bei's face was beating wildly, but Chen Xi either didn't speak. It's such a big deal to begin with, but is a county as wealthy as a state?
Suppressing other things in his heart, Liu Bei tried his best to look at Chen Xi calmly, "Zichuan, tell me your strategy. I believe that with your wisdom, you will not deceive me, but Wen He and others are also geniuses in this world. Why can¡¯t you reconcile and go together?¡±
Chen Xi took a deep breath, threw away all the strategies targeting everyone, and simply explained the transaction tax to Liu Bei.
"We have a conflict in commercial law. Mr. Xuande, please sit down. I will tell Mr. Xuande all my thoughts and let Mr. Xuande judge." Chen Xi slowly suppressed all distracting thoughts with his mental strength. He looked at Liu Bei calmly with his eyes.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Zichuan, please speak."
Chen Xi rarely has serious moments. Most of the time, Liu Bei sees Chen Xi in a carefree manner. Once he becomes serious, Liu Bei knows that Chen Xi has entered the state. Just like when he was designing in Hulao Pass until now, Chen Xi, who becomes serious, is definitely the strongest in the world in Liu Bei's eyes. adviser.
"My new commercial law cancels the pass tax, the goods tax at the city gate, and the general miscellaneous tax for merchants, and then changes it to a transaction tax. That is, the tax will only be collected on transactions under the rule of Xuande Gong, and it will be given to Open the tax certificate. With this certificate, no more taxes will be collected on goods in other places in Qingzhou" Chen Xi introduced the transaction tax to Liu Bei calmly and simply. He was now in a very calm state.
"This kind of commercial law is too harmful to our own interests." Liu Bei said with a frown.
"Xuan De Gong, on the contrary, Wancheng was ruined. Because of the war between Cao Mengde and Yuan Shu, Wancheng, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the commercial center of the world, was ruined. We now have the merchant alliance in our hands. As long as we keep the merchant alliance's clubhouse In Fenggao, relying on this business law, we will become the new commercial center of the world, and we will also become the commercial center of the world under the rule of Xuande Gong," Chen Xi said with a crazy smile on his face.
"The commerce of one city and one place will never be as good as the commerce of all the people in the world. What I am doing now is to tie the world's merchants to Xuande Gong's station car! What I am doing is to turn admiration into transcendence. The world market in the city!" Liu Bei was startled by the madness on Chen Xi's face.
Liu Bei didn't understand business, but what Chen Xi said made sense to Liu Bei. Businessmen value profits, and Chen Xi's approach gave businessmen benefits and attracted more businessmen. It was not a problem if there were enough businessmen. Liu Bei didn't understand business because he didn't understand business. Knowing the concerns of Jia Xu and others, what they considered was very simple.
"In that case, Zichuan, you have no problem thinking about it." Liu Bei said a little weirdly, there is no problem at all, it is not impossible for Fenggao to become the world's market, one county is better than one state!
Chen Xi told the current situation and the concerns of Jia Xu and others. As expected, Liu Bei began to think deeply after hearing this.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, are you sure you can do what you said?"
"Definitely!" Chen Xi said calmly without saying a word, but his strong self-confidence pleased Liu Bei.
"Since you are confident that you can do it, do you still need to care about other people's obstruction? Do what you think is right. I have said it a long time ago. These government affairs are all handled by you. You have arbitrary power. I I believe you can do better than me!" Liu ??Looking at Chen Xi speaking word by word, very solemnly, Chen Xi was extremely moved by the trust revealed.
"Thank you, Mr. Xuande!" Chen Xi stood up and bowed, "Please, Mr. Xuande, please stay for three months, and I will prove to you that your choice is not wrong."
"Hahaha, Zichuan, don't worry. If you want to try anything, come up with it. I, Liu Xuande, started from scratch. With your help in just two years, I can stand up to any prince in the world. What do I have to worry about! I can help the Han Dynasty. It's not a smooth road, so what about the ups and downs in life?" Liu Bei exuded a proud temperament and stared at Chen Xi.
"Even if you are wrong, it is just a lost opportunity. You are not even ten years old, and I am still young. If you are wrong, what failure will Liu Xuande, a self-made man, not be able to bear? You don't need to promise me, I believe you, in my When I give you arbitrary power, I believe you will live up to that power! Go ahead and prove that you are better than everyone in the world!" At this moment, Liu Bei seemed to be an elder who wanted Chen Xi to succeed, smiling. looked at Chen Xi. (To be continued)
