Commercial taxation had completely crushed the previous taxation methods seven days ago. As expected, the battle in Wancheng, the hinterland of the Central Plains, completely destroyed the original commercial trading center with Wancheng as the center and Nanyang as the radiation, and Fenggao benefited in vain. .
Speaking of which, Fenggao is not a good location as a commercial center. After all, it is too remote. However, the current situation is that although Fenggao does not have a geographical advantage, it has taken advantage of the time and people.
When the Wancheng commercial center was covered by war and merchants all over the world were struggling to sell goods, the two major chambers of commerce, with the Zhen family in the north and the Mi family in Xuzhou as the core, settled in Fenggao. At the same time, the tax rate in Qingzhou changed dramatically, attracting The eyes of most businessmen in the world.
Chen Xi looked at this scene indifferently. The change in tax rates can be said to be a final decision. The gap in crushing levels cannot be reversed in a few words. As for what will happen if the world is in chaos and there are fewer merchants in the future, Chen Xi can only laugh. Just smile, troubled times are the best time for businessmen to make money. I have never heard that there are fewer businessmen in troubled times. It is said that businessmen can only be controlled in peaceful times. Businessmen in troubled times are more active. After all, there are so many loopholes in tax rates in troubled times!
"There's one more thing left." Chen Xi picked up the wine cup and smiled at Guo Jia, then drank it all in one gulp, put down the wine cup and looked at Guo Jia.
"Is it the library?" Guo Jia casually picked up the side dishes on the table.
"Well, I think Wen Ru's household registration has already been completed. The scribes of this era can be the image that the people of the world look forward to. The qualifications they possess are naturally what the people need. They are from top to bottom. ." Chen Xi nodded and said. "Fenggao is not a very good place. It's too remote. If it were in the Central Plains, the current tax revenue could be another 20%."
Chen Xi¡¯s indifferent expression made Guo Jia slightly embarrassed. After all, everyone, including him, was blocking Chen Xi¡¯s business law. The changes in Fenggao City in just over twenty days were shocking and abnormal.
"Zichuan, what happened before is indeed our problem, please forgive me." Guo Jiashao said solemnly.
"It doesn't have to be like this. We each have our own considerations." Chen Xi waved his hands and said, "Neither you nor I are wrong. The only ones who are wrong are Mr. Xuande." A sly smile appeared on Chen Xi's face.
"It's okay if you stay at home all the time!" Guo Jia could only smile bitterly at Chen Xi's remarks. Only Chen Xi would be so unscrupulous.
"More than ten days ago, the front door was deserted. Nowadays, there is a huge crowd. You can tell me how many businessmen are waiting for me when I go out." Chen Xi held the wine glass and said with a smile, "I decide the business law with my words. Now I just need to show a little benefit." It¡¯s enough to make a lot of people fat. Do you know what my butler has been doing lately?¡±
"This is not the reason why you don't go to the Government Affairs Office." Guo Jia said helplessly.
"I don't want to go." Chen Xi said casually. "Don't come to me until I've dealt with this matter. Unless something big happens, just tell Zijing and Ziyang to do their own thing. I'm too lazy to worry about what happened before."
Seeing Chen Xi clarifying what happened before, Guo Jia helplessly picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp. Who would have thought that Chen Xi could succeed so quickly, and he didn't want to be a peacemaker, but the person in Taishan who got along best with Chen Xi was Guo Jia. . Neither of them is the type who cares too much about etiquette and interests.
"Drink your bar. I can't go to a brothel with you in the past two days. I heard that the newly opened Manxiang House is good. Have you been there?" Chen Xi changed the topic, one that he and Guo Jia both liked. topic.
"Go, it's really good. It doesn't cost anything. It's really great. You even gave me this, so I can spend money on it in the future. Do you want it?" Guo Jia said with a mean smile. He took out a card made of pure gold from his sleeve. With this card, Guo Jia could go to Manxiang Tower without having to pay anything.
"I have one too." Chen Xi took out one and waved it in front of Guo Jia and said, "But I won't be as good as you. But then again, that's the main street! How about South 1st Street! The land here is really cheap."
Chen Xi's words made Guo Jia extremely resentful. Who knew that land would rise to such an extent? The businessman who originally thought he was just here to make a profit found out that Chen Xi was serious. Most of the rich people planned to settle here, so two or three The Fourth and Fifth Streets are simply not enough to divide. As long as a piece of land is finalized, it has to be said that the businessmen backed by aristocratic families in this era are still very wealthy.
The land was sold for several million dollars. After the sale, Lu Su felt that he had lost money. He was so overwhelmed with the loss. Lu Su, who saw the increase in the land on the second street in front, was jumping his eyelids. As for the first street, which is the main north-south street, Now there are three restaurants opened, one is the Mi family's restaurant, the other is the Zhen family's fur shop, and the Manxiang restaurant was opened before Chen Xi changed the business law.
Businessmen are not stupid, they all know that North and South Street is definitely the best area.??But Chen Xi only designated four streets, and now they are all sold out. What else do you want? Challenging the rule that merchants Chen Xi can only trade in the designated North District? This is asking for death. You can go to the residential area on North 6th Street to buy land and then renovate it. As for the two houses on North 1st Street and the Manxiang Building on South 1st Street, you will be drooling. Those three are obvious. Is there a problem?
Not to mention the Zhen family and the Mi family, the Manxiang Building is so eye-catching. If it didn¡¯t have a backstage, it would have been moved long ago. What¡¯s more, it¡¯s on the first street, and it¡¯s the only one on South First Street. The Zhen family and the Mi family are on North Street. Squatting, what is this going to do with a brothel squatting in the middle of South Street across the street?
I couldn't find the other party's backstage, and the other party was so eye-catching. It was obvious that there was a backstage, so the people who wanted to occupy the only piece of land on South 1st Street gave up their thoughts. Because of this, the brothel's business has been booming recently, and there are wealthy businessmen everywhere. High-profile guests don't mind dealing with the owner of Manxiang House and building relationships. Unfortunately, Manxiang House doesn't have the owner they want.
"Ha, it's probably not easy for that old mother. She can't tell her where the master is right now." Guo Jia laughed. He was often in Manxiang Building during this period, so he naturally saw the other party's embarrassment. A cup of flower tea costs only a hundred dollars, and depending on how much money is being made that day, no matter how embarrassed the other party is, he will still hold on.
"No one is making trouble, are you?" Chen Xi asked with a smile. The location of Manxiang Building is indeed a bit eye-catching, but it is also an accident. Although this accident is enough to make Lu Su, who knows how much land is worth on the street, feel angina, but he I don't have the shame to say take it back.
"Do you think anyone dares?" Guo Jia said with a trace of ridicule on his face, "Only low-class little guys are ignorant enough to make trouble there, but now there are all the wealthy businessmen inside, and they can be crushed to death with just a finger. Who dares?" Go make trouble."
"But it's really eye-catching." Chen Xi said helplessly. It was too eye-catching to open this thing on the main street. "Forget it, I will order someone to find that old mother and ask her to build the Manxiang Building more elegantly. Listen to the music , dance and act in dramas, if you keep doing this, Zi Jing might come to talk to me, and that would be bad." (To be continued)
