Ye Hua shrugged. He only told Chai Rong some superficial things. In fact, the real key is division of labor! He divided the stonemason into different levels, and then assigned different jobs according to the levels.

In short, in the past, each stonemason was responsible for all the processes of a stone, from cutting to carving, which were completed by one person. Therefore, some complex carving places, such as dragon scales, dragon whiskers, auspicious clouds, etc., must use the best stonemason, and others cannot interfere.

Ye Hua changed the rules, and he asked the most wise stonemason to take charge of the most difficult parts, and left the rest to the apprentice to do.

In this way, a stone may require several or even a dozen stonemasons to complete it together, each of which is only responsible for one process, and the efficiency is greatly improved. However, many stonemasons are worried that the skills will be stolen and firmly opposed it. Ye Hua is not polite. Any stonemason who is unwilling to cooperate will be ruthlessly removed and then they will be exchanged for some obedient things from the Ministry of Works.

He has been busy with a lot of things this month. The core one is to transform traditional craftsmen into qualified industrial workers!

A reasonable division of labor, complete incentive regulations, and more importantly, strict discipline!

Without discipline, there is no question of coordination, like an arm instructing you! Of course, those who are willing to cooperate will receive generous rewards.

"I earned 3,000 guan from the court and 8,000 guan from the exporter. There are a total of 11,000 guan here. I want to give 1,000 guan to reward everyone!"

In front of Ye Hua, there were copper coins like a hill piled up. Ye Zhong and six beggars lined up in line. Standing behind Ye Hua, they looked a little funny, but every stonemason looked solemn and did not dare to neglect at all.

It is not only power that brings majesty, but also fairness in dealing with things.

"Do you guys think I want to put the remaining 10,000 guan into my pocket?" Ye Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't even want a penny. I want to use this money to do a more important thing, which is a big thing that will affect your life!"

...

Ye Hua was talking about fate with the stonemason, while Guo Wei and Chai Rong were also discussing the fate of the empire.

After a few minutes, they have been in Beijing for almost three months. In the past, all Guo Wei's thoughts have been restoring Kaifeng order, rewarding and appeaseing his soldiers, and at the same time, they have to win over and divide the military leaders from all over the country to prevent them from causing trouble.

In short, it's all about the things in front of you.

Guo Wei didn't think much about the future, except for the conversation with Feng Dao.

Now that he has firmly taken the position of governor, Feng Dao also sent news that Liu Yun agreed to enter Beijing to succeed the throne, Guo Wei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's time to eliminate the bad policies!" Guo Wei asked Chai Rong with a smile, "What do you think?"

Chai Rong smiled slightly, "I used to have only some thoughts, but after seeing some of Ye Hua's actions, it was really touched."

Guo Wei smiled, "That kid is indeed smart, but he is a child. What kind of national politics can he understand?"

"Otherwise!" Chai Rong shook his head and said, "Father, he can use more than 200 stonemasons to do 1,000 jobs. He can sell 30,000 stone tools in just one month and make a profit of 8,000 stones. This is not simple! There are really not many Chinese and Chinese civil and military officials in the court who have this ability!"

"Why so many?"

Guo Wei was very surprised. A month ago, Ye Hua swore to him that he could make a profit every year if he wanted to manage his finances for Brother Guo Xing. Guo Wei laughed it off more. The child didn't know how difficult it was to make money, so he could understand it after he touched his head several times.

But now it seems that he clearly underestimated Ye Hua!

That boy is not simple!

There is no need to pay taxes to build imperial roads for the imperial court, but if you sell stone tools, you have to pay taxes. In fact, as Ye Hua's identity, no one dares to care about his money. However, Ye Hua feels that since he is doing business, he must abide by the rules. He is a relative of Guo Wei and represents Guo Xing Ge. In any case, he cannot discredit the Guo father and son for a little money and ruin his future.

Anyway, Ye Hua has a lot of ideas for making money and doesn’t care about commercial taxes!

He thought so and handed over it as much as possible.

3,000 stakes, a lot of money!

Guo Wei was almost crying. At present, Guo Wei only controlled the Central Plains area. The main source of commercial tax was Kaifeng, accounting for more than 90%. He could collect about 1 million guan a year. Ye Hua paid 3,000 guan a month, which was 36,000 guan a year!

After deducting another half month of time to build the Imperial Dao, Ye Hua spent all year on making stone tools, which would generate a commercial tax of 72,000 guan!

It accounts for 7.2% of the total tax revenue!

What a joke!

You should know that stone is not the main industry at all. How much tax can be generated by grain stores, silk and satin shops, carriage stores, palace stores, porcelain stores, livestock markets, salt shops, wineries... and how much tax can be generated?

Guo Wei's breathing was rapid, and the veins in the back of his hands and temples all jumped up.

His eyes were really red. His subordinates had more than 100,000 people, and they opened their mouths to eat every day. If they didn't feed these people, they would rebel at any time. For Guo Wei, money is not money, but fate!

"Merchant tax must be collected!"

Guo Wei slapped the table so loudly, Chai Rong nodded immediately, "Father, it is indeed a regular task to develop commercial taxes and fill the gap between the Ministry of Revenue. However, before taxation, we must first clear up bad policies and reduce the burden on the people of business and people. Whether it is doing business or farming, we must make profits for the people. The court will give 100 papers and give them 900 papers. The people are willing to do things. If the court gives 900 papers and only gives them 100 papers, and they can't even make a living, how can they make efforts?"

Obviously, Chai Rong's insight was summarized from Ye Hua.

Guo Wei fell into deep thought, "What are you talking about is to reduce the heavy taxes first?"

"That's right, that's what kid means!"

Guo Wei hesitated a little, "The tax is reduced first. If it cannot be collected, what should I use as food and salary?"

"Then even the land tax has been reduced!" Chai Rong said: "Father, have we allocated land for the soldiers? If the military pay cannot be collected for the time being, we will use the land tax to make up for it... And the child firmly believes that tax cuts can make the market active quickly, and it will not take long to make up for the reduced tax!"

As a result, he was born in a wealthy business family. Chai Rong's understanding of the economy, let alone crushing Guo Wei, even among the emperors of all generations, he was considered top!

Guo Wei weighed the pros and cons again and finally nodded.

"Okay, just do what you want!"

...

"Huazi, happy events, happy events!"

Chen Shi rushed to the garden happily and saw Ye Hua feeding fish by the lake. He ignored it and poured all the grains in the box into the river, and then pulled Ye Hua to the pavilion.

"Kung Fu Guo has reduced taxes!"

Ye Hua hesitated for a moment and asked back: "So fast?"

"Well, today the Political Affairs Hall just posted a notice that it would be abolished. This is a moral polity. The people cheered and were so happy!"

Chen Shi was talking in a daze. At some point, Chen Tuan walked over slowly. The old charlatan was now settling in Ye's mansion.

He grabbed the teapot, poured himself a cup, and then said sarcastically: "This cattle rent was set by Zhu Wen back then. He rented the more than 10,000 cows he seized to the people at a low price to help them plow the fields."

Chen Shi exclaimed, "Ah, it turns out that Zhu Wen has done good things? Yes, but why are the people suffering?"

Chen Tuan snorted, "This is not simple. Zhu Wen rented a cow decades ago. The cows have long been dead, but the cows are still being collected!" Chen Tuan said bluntly: "In recent years, the cows have been collected more than several times the price of the cows at the beginning. Guo Wei has now abolished it, but it is just a favor, and it is not a waste of money!"

Chen Tuan witnessed with his own eyes that he felt that it was nothing great to abolish cattle rent. If he really wanted to take care of the people, he should return all the levies. There were many people who were forced to destroy their families because of the cattle rent and needed pensions. He did not do this, so what was worth being happy about.

Guo Wei’s actions are still far from that!

Ye Hua is not as cynical as Chen Tuan. "Chen Xianchang, your life must be very unfortunate! Now is a once-in-a-century opportunity to make money. If you don't seize the opportunity to make money, you will complain and complain. You deserve to be a poor old man for the rest of your life!"
