Everyone knows that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are like this. When they take action, they will give their opponents a chance. Qianshi Chamber of Commerce will get such an opportunity. If they don’t use a contract to exempt other merchants from taxes, they will often go through contracts and will not retaliate. But since they have done so, it means they are not in good faith and naturally they will have a lesson.

"So that's it. Xiaobao and the others still have time to control your side. Are there any benefits for you?" Li Longji was very surprised. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were very busy in Baoxin County. They had to do local construction, and they had to look at that tourist area. They had to deal with the people in Xincai County. When building the workshop, they could actually take time to calculate the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce so far away.

And it seems that I was not embarrassed at all with the complex contract. I made a continuous trap and put 150,000 yuan from the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce in Changning County. This is too amazing. It seems like I was in Tubo’s long-range command. As soon as the plan was released, others would follow it step by step to find out the enemy and the first.

I just don’t know what benefits Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will get this time. It’s impossible for the two of them to do it in vain, right?

When Li Yu heard his uncle's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it. He found that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not make any requests, so he replied: "There is no other benefit for me to give it to them, saying it is a friendly sponsorship. As long as you return the money they took out to them at that time, you don't even ask for the shares. I wonder if I should give them more when paying it back."

"No request? It's strange, how could it be that there is no request? Yu'er, don't pay back too much when paying it back. Can Xiaobao and Juanjuan believe what they say? I'm looking for someone to discuss whether they want to make up for a while. Remember that even if they don't see what they are thinking in front of me, it doesn't mean they have no plans in the future.

Well, that's it. Maybe they're already making arrangements when they're helping you. Don't miss it, otherwise they'll help others count the money when they're sold."

Li Longji didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan really had no plans and had suffered a lot of losses. How did the Fengzhou place that others were unwilling to go to, but for Zhang and Wang family were good places? Didn't he underestimate Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and go around and transfer it into it.

The more he thought about this, the more he became confident that Zhang Xiaobao and his two men set their minds on Changning County so far away, but they just didn't see it yet.

Yes, they cannot be allowed to succeed. When they are waiting for their promotion after the autumn harvest in Baoxin County, they will say that they cannot be sent here, and Cizhou will not leave a place for them.

Li Longji made a decision in his mind. In fact, he was either trying to guess Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, or he thought it was fun to play this kind of game with two people. The more you wanted to do, the less you would let you do it. See what skills you still have are useless.

Li Longji didn't say anything in his mind, but Gao Lishi, who knew him well, could guess what he was thinking, reminded him:

"Your Majesty, maybe Xiaobao and Juanjuan asked you to think so that Young Master Yu came over and greet you, just like they said they wanted a ranch on Jiannan Road, but they had to train people to withstand the cold and point to the cold land on Hebei Road.

As a result, we went to discuss and gave them Fengzhou. They immediately organized people to run them there, so we must be careful."

Gao Lishi had to think about Li Longji this time. It was not that he was unwilling to look at his godson, but that if he was going further, Li Longji would lose even more, and he would not lose even if he always did.

Li Longji was stunned when he heard Gao Lishi's words and nodded, "Yes, you can't be fooled anymore. Please don't mention this in advance. Yu'er, come here and ask you, there is a farmer's market here now, and you don't have to pay taxes. Do you think it's good or bad?"

"Here? Xiaobao and Juanjuan are made by someone? Well, of course it's good. Xiaobao and Juanjuan won't harm the people." Li Yu followed the place where Li Longji looked at, and knew that it was made by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so he immediately said that what they did was not good?

"Maybe Yu'er had never thought that if the people do business here and do not pay taxes, how could the county have money?" Li Longji asked again.

Li Yu understood. It turned out that he was considering this matter. He really couldn't figure it out before, but now there are many businessmen in Changning County who are exempt from taxes. At first glance, the county's income was less, but the result was more than before.

"My nephew thinks this is not a big deal. There are also many businessmen with duty-free taxes in Changning County, which are more exempted than Linfen County. However, the income of Changning County where my nephew is located is not small, but has increased by more than ten times.

This is the case in Changning County. When merchants come here and hire workers to work locally, they have to pay wages. With wages, the people want to live a better life and buy things in the county. They usually can’t afford meat, and they also have spare money to buy meat and make it back. If they eat a lot, the merchants have to transport more things.

This part is not tax exemption, and the same is true for Linfen County. In the past, due to its distance from the county town, it was inconvenient to travel and delayed work. People would rather let the local products be used up and rotten than sell them. Now, after selling them, life will be better and more things are needed. In this way, Linfen County's tax revenue can only be better, not low.

This approach is to give up taxes in one link, and use this to exchange for the people not wasting resources, increasing logistics, thereby driving consumption and increasing taxes from other links."

All these words were summarized by Li Yu himself. In the plan given to him by Zhang Xiaobao, every step was explained in order to make him more flexible. After reading more, he naturally developed the habit of considering from this perspective.

Li Longji was happy and praised Li Yu, "Yu'er has learned a lot and can do more things in the future. This is the importance of economic means. Many people have looked down on merchants in the past, but now there are more merchants, which can speed up the logistics speed and get more taxes.

OK, in the future, you must communicate with Xiaobao and Juanjuan often, learn and ask more questions, and wait until you manage Changning well, and then arrange more important things for you to do."

"My nephew knows." Li Yu nodded and agreed.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were not aware of their two being targeted by others, were answering Xiao Chong’s questions while cooking.

It was not easy for Xiao Chong to see Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the kitchen. He changed his clothes and forced someone to take a bath. He cleaned up his fingernails and asked someone to open his mouth to see if there were any dentures. What if he brought poison in.

After being tossed by someone, Xiaochuang was put in. Even so, there was still someone standing at the door of the kitchen staring at him. This was because the food Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had recently made was not allowed to be tried with poison. They took it over and ate it with Li Longji.

If you want to get poisoned, everyone will be killed together, and no one can escape, so don’t worry about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan being poisoned. It’s different if someone outsiders come.

"Young Master, Lord Li has already made people plant willows and bamboos as you said, and buy grass elsewhere and stalks after autumn harvest today. I don't know what to do next?"

Xiao Chong stood there very honestly and did not dare to lean in front of the pot. Zhang Xiaobao's plan disappeared after planting the tree, so he had to ask for successive development.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are both tired of cooking every day. Today, they are going to make some trouble-free. They first make braised pork, then add eggplant, green onions, radish and other things to stew. Unfortunately, there are no green peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes, so they can only be replaced by other things.

After squeezing a cabbage into the pot and looking at the fire, Zhang Xiaobao stopped and wiped his hands on the apron, and said to Xiao Chong: "The future will be simple. There are only so many people in the county, and people with land will find some work to do when they are free.

Digging and mining requires manpower, and weaving things also requires manpower. So, what should I do if I don’t have enough? If outsiders see the opportunity, they will go to Changning to find work. Don’t worry about people who only settle in Changning County, they will still go out to do odd jobs while they are not busy. They will generate consumption in Changning County.

You just need to organize them well. Remember not to let local people bully foreigners, nor do you let the people who hire them deliberately lower their wages. It is best to set a standard.

When the county has more money, there will be interns in Deyi Hospital who are here to open a clinic by a doctor. You can count the local people in the county, conduct medical treatment, and open schools. There are many students who are admitted every year, and it is enough to teach children. I don’t have to continue talking about it next, right?”

"No need, no need to say it, I know, in fact, what I should think of myself." Xiao Chong agreed. There is nothing to say next. It's just that there is another place where people have a better life. The county can pay more taxes to the court, and those who should leave their names are left, and those who should make progress should be made.

But Xiao Chong couldn't see what benefits Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could get in this matter. If you want to say that you have a reputation, the Zhang and Wang family are already famous enough. If you want to make money, the two of them did not participate and could not make money at all.

Thinking of this in my heart, Xiao Chong asked out his words.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly and said, "If you talk about the future, not all efforts need to be rewarded. If you benefit the country's life and death, how can you avoid it because of good fortune and disaster?"

As soon as these words were said, Xiao Chong suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in front of him were like saints.

Only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew that it was impossible for them to help Li Yu for nothing and not have any rewards. Isn’t that stupid, but the calculations are relatively long-term.

It took a lot of time to stew it. When everyone on the other boats started eating, Xiao Bei also covered his hungry stomach and found him. Then he was ready.

Xiaochuang was not qualified to eat together, so he could only eat with the people who were doing odd jobs on the boat. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ordered people to put a large pot of stew on the table where Li Longji was preparing to eat.

Everyone has their own bowl, so if you want to eat it, you can serve it. The staple food is flower rolls and a few small pickles.

Li Longji still didn't ask anyone to accompany him, such as Wu Huifei, who had not seen him for several days.

During the meal, Li Longji didn't ask for anything to eat and sleep. He should talk and ask.

This asked Zhang Xiaobao about the future preparations for issuing currency.

"Xiaobao, tell me what to use for currency in the future? It is difficult to imitate, so I will release it again?" Li Longji felt that the stew was lighter, so he asked someone to scoop some sauce on his plate and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao has been waiting for several days, and was thinking about when Li Longji asked. At this time, he saw Li Longji ask and replied: "Your Majesty, there is something called hot turmeric oil that can make something else out of it. I am not capable enough, I only know how to roughly understand and need more craftsmen to cooperate.

By then, if this technology is not released, no one can imitate it. It is estimated that it will take a few years. There is another way to use it when the money shop is almost open. It is to find a special dye and use this dye to leave patterns on specially pressed paper to replace the current cloth."

When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he looked at Wang Juan. Wang Juan continued: "The place where money is made should be separated from the place where money is issued. No matter how the money is used, only the quantity is controlled. People who issue it are not allowed to do it. At that time, they will first use the transactions of Zhang and Wang families, which is to use that kind of money to buy things from Zhang and Wang families, and both Zhang and Wang stores will sell them.

At the same time, the money shop can also exchange copper coins for money in other people's hands. Now the value of copper coins itself is not as high as the currency they produce. I think no one is willing to use copper for money when they come.

In addition, there is a *** price for the things sold by Zhang and Wang families, that is, they can only be purchased with banknotes, including daily necessities and luxury goods. If possible, they will work with other merchants. The court will also collect banknotes for taxes."

Except for Xiao Bei and others, they didn't care about such a big deal and tried to fill their stomachs. Everyone stopped their chopsticks and thought about this matter carefully.

After thinking for a while, Old Man Bi spoke first.

"Is it okay to use goods in the transaction to guarantee it? Is it okay to use copper coins to guarantee it?"

This question asked the point, and it is very important to use what to guarantee currency, that is, it is the gold standard or the copper standard.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also discussed this issue. In terms of the gold standard, the biggest possibility is that gold is exchanged by those who are interested. At that time, there will be insufficient gold, forcing the currency issuer to give up gold exchange and become a currency exchange in the form of a market.

What does that mean? It is likely that people will use financial means to reduce the value of newly issued currency, making the currency worthless, and make people with paper money want to exchange money as quickly as possible. In this way, the more they change, the less valuable it will be, and depreciate it.

At that time, those who are interested will take this opportunity to buy and sell copper coins from the money shop, and then make a large amount of copper coins privately, exchange them for banknotes, buy things with paper money, or pay taxes. Will the shops and the court collect or not? What kind of currency ratio should be used to collect?

So this is absolutely not possible.

Zhang Xiaobao then told Li Longji and others about the prone situation.

Li Longji was trembling when he heard this. He was usually very stable and sweaty on his forehead. Old Man Bi and others had not healed, and they all felt their mouths dry.

After a while, the charcoal fire that had been hot in the stew under the pot gradually faded, and the eyes of everyone recovered one after another, looking at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan became even more different from those just now.

Li Yu used his hand and said with a scared face, "Thanks to Xiaobao and Juanjuan are from my Tang Dynasty, thanks to me."

Even if the others didn't follow, they would admit it in their hearts that if they were people from other countries, they would naturally not help the Tang Dynasty find a way to solve the problem of cloth.

The most terrifying thing is that he hides his identity and then opens a money shop to lure the Tang Dynasty's court to use the copper standard or gold standard to stabilize the value of the banknotes. At that time, he will use the method that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, and the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos all of a sudden.

Since that kind of terrible thing has not happened yet, it can be avoided. Gao Lishi thought about it and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what do you mean is to use goods to stabilize the value of paper money?"

"No, goods are not allowed, because our goods also require raw materials. If the price of raw materials suppliers changes, especially when prices rise, banknotes may still be impacted by others. We use technology to ensure the value of banknotes. By gradually releasing civilian technology to let merchants buy them with banknotes, they will take the initiative to maintain the value of banknotes.

Because they don’t want others to own such technology, they can only make money by monopolizing. In order to ensure the price of goods generated through this technology, they have to actively maintain the importance of technology, and they will inevitably need to maintain the value of paper money.

Therefore, good craftsmen who can participate in various research must sign a contract with the court, not disclose secrets, and even make them lose their *** during the period when the technology they are researching is not outdated.

Of course, this time will not be too long, either three or five years, when they recover and receive a lot of compensation."

Zhang Xiaobao chose technology as the exchange rule for the value balance of currency.

"Three or five years are really feasible?" Gao Lishi asked again.
