With Xiao Jichen's inquiry, and some of his confidant Ding servants around Xiao Jichen's body from nervous to violently shaking, Li Yuanshu smiled, looked at the second childe of Xiao's house with a smile, and then said, "I, Li Yuanshu of Xue Cheng Li's house, occasionally got fairy fate, but also got fairy orders. From today on, I will be in charge of Xue Cheng's house."

"From today on, Xuecheng mansion is autonomous in the state of Lu. I welcome childe Xiao and the Xiao family. I use Xuecheng port as a transit base to travel to and from all over the world for business. But from today on, remember to pay taxes. Twenty taxes and one!"

"In addition, all the sailors and servants of the Xiao family's fleet who were born in Xue Chengfu will be free immediately. The Xiao family can hire normally, but they must give the same employment expenses and the same amount of pension as the sailors and soldiers of the state of Qi."

"If the Xiao family commits any illegal acts in the area of Xuecheng mansion in the future, the Li family will make a fair and strict punishment on behalf of Xuecheng mansion. I wonder if childe Xiao is willing to accept it?"

This sentence came out, not to mention that Xiao Jichen's face changed dramatically. It was strange and powerful. Even several trusted servants on his side looked up at the sky with an incredible face.

What is it?

You got Xianyuan and were ordered by the immortal to take over everything in Xue Cheng? From today on, Xue Chengfu will break away from the state of Lu and become autonomous?

We come here to do business. Do we have to pay taxes? pay taxes?!!!

If Li Yuanshu didn't stand in the void and talk to them like this, if everyone stood on the ground face to face, you wouldn't show such flying power. Believe it or not, we'll beat you to death?

You have to pay taxes to do business. What an international joke. Even in the big business, Rome and even the Tang Dynasty, the tax payment is solemnly engraved in the imperial law, especially in the places where the monarchy like the Shang empire is concentrated. If you dare to evade taxes, you must always do a good job in the iron fist suppression of the king's power of the big business.

But in the weak state of Lu, no matter how favorable the geographical location is, no matter how much geographical advantage it occupies in the era of great navigation, who have you heard of paying taxes on the merchant ships coming and going here? To whom, the government? make fun of.

In the Xiao family's caravan, sailors born in Xue Cheng must be paid according to the treatment of the state of Qi? This pit, not to mention the normal sea running employment fee, but only the pension amount after the death of the war. The official of the state of Lu is a male Ding five Liang. It's your turn to pay the pension when the war is really dead. It's good for the bureaucrats to deduct two liang at every level.

The Xiao family has four or two lives. This refers to grass-roots soldiers, grass-roots sailors and management. It must be another price.

The state of Qi... Xiao Jichen, as a senior member of the Xiao family and three prime ministers of the Five Dynasties and three ministers, of course, knows what treatment the sea overlord Qi is. If a grass-roots Navy or army dies, he will pay a pension of 52, and his family will be exempted from all agricultural taxes in the next five years.

Relatives of the war dead, working in society and in all walks of life, will be given preferential treatment and care. Under the same conditions, even if your conditions are slightly worse, you will choose you, because you have relatives who died for your country!

After this pension system comes down, how can NIMA let me play with the Xiao family? As a boatswain, Guo Yihang, who died in the last war in the Principality of ventra, was only 50 Liang after five times the pension, which was the same as the basic pension price of grass-roots soldiers in the state of Qi.

Not to mention that the families of the war dead were exempted from agricultural taxes for five years, and all sectors of social work were given preferential treatment and other benefits.

If the Xiao family recruits workers according to this standard, is it a sailor or an uncle? He's going to do this. What should he think of the merchant who was born in other parts of the state of Lu, such as the sailor's servant who was born in Qufu, the capital of the state of Lu?

His face was black and green, and Xiao Jichen said, "you have magic. I have nothing to say, but if you say so, I can only dismiss all Xue Cheng's personnel."

Sir, this is not the treatment of recruitment at all.

If Li Yuanshu didn't fly in the sky and talk to him, he would have had an old fist.

Although the specific depth of Li Yuan's book was unclear, it was only one other party who could fly, which also caused Xiao Jichen great fear.

Li Yuanshu laughed. "It doesn't matter. My Li family can guarantee that all the retired sailors and soldiers of Xue Cheng can live a standard of living comparable to that of the people of Qi. Childe Xiao will soon know that my Li family will drive away all the local tyrants and evil gentry of Xue Cheng. Their property is prepared for the people of Xue Cheng."

Li Yuanshu is not stupid. If he gives everything to the people, they will not cherish it so much.

Even if it's the topic of Xianyuan and Xianming, it's not appropriate. You can give it all free now. Will you continue to expand outward and give it free in the future, or won't you continue?

But he will rent it first, and then let you work hard for a few years, and then he can buy it and distribute all kinds of real estate.

Once the Xus, Wangs, Xues and other gentry have lost so many servants, even if they leave, they can't take so many ships. The ships left behind, even various ship factories, can also be rented to fishermen and sailors who can't afford to buy ships.

With Xue Cheng's geographical advantages, you can turn chartering into buying a boat by pulling a boat of people to run several times on the commercial channel, and then change the boat into a big boat.

In the feudal era, even if there were natural disasters, many refugees, organized by the government, could not only ensure that the refugees did not die, but also build all kinds of favorable buildings and lyrical rivers. Here, it is not difficult for the people of Xuecheng to do things with the hope of starting a career and pay as much as the state of Qi. It is really not difficult for more than 100000 people in a city to embark on the road of becoming rich.

He doesn't care about the small pit in Xiao Jichen's words. Do you think that by dismissing all Xue Chengji as a gimmick, you can make those Xue Chengji sailors disorderly and force me to give in? No, they just cheer.

In fact, Li Yuanshu's overall impression of the Xiao family is not bad, and he does not contradict Xiao Jichen's various performances since he took charge of the Xiao family caravan. The second young master of the Xiao family is not a dandy who bullies men and women, and he is often just a passer-by in Xue Cheng

When he passed by, he rarely entered Xue City and basically lived in a private manor near the port, as did most of the sailors of the Xiao family.

That's why he doesn't object to the other party's doing business here and operating the wharf industry. However, a large number of Xue Chengji sailors and servants in the Xiao family caravan must improve their living standards.

It's impossible for the rest of the people in the city to become rich quickly with the naked eye in the future. Those sailors from Xue Cheng are not welcome.

Also, taxes are necessary.

At present, the Li family, after taking over some of the rich gentry families such as Xu, Wang and Xue, has a certain confidence. It will not be short of money and materials to improve the people's living standards in a short time. It will not be possible in the long run.

Whether the gentry or businessmen here used to pay taxes or not, they must be incorporated into the fiscal and tax system from now on. The importance of commercial tax far exceeds that of agricultural tax.
