After arranging the matter for the water village, Han Fei rushed back to Nanpi City without stopping. This day was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was three days left.

Liu Bei just received a gift from Mi Zhu, and his pocket instantly became much plump. He was just giving rewards to the ministers during the New Year. After all, whether it was a civil servant or a military general this year, isn’t it all for money?

Han Fei returned to the city lord and did not go home, but came directly to the prefect's mansion to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei had just discussed some matters about the New Year with Xin Ping. When he looked up, he saw Han Fei enter the house and said happily: "Zi Cong, you are finally back!"

"Lord, Brother Zhongzhi, I'm back!" Han Fei responded with a smile.

"Zi Cong has suffered these days, but has the water village been built?" Xin Ping nodded at Han Fei and asked.

"The frame is ready, and I will arrange the rest for General Gao Lan. It should be no big problem, but the Xin family needs to help find more craftsmen who can build or repair ships."

"Well, Zicong don't worry. I will ask someone to look for it when I go back. I guess I will be able to send a batch of people after the New Year."

"That's great. The lord can implement the plan for the Liaodong Peninsula after the New Year." Han Fei clapped his hands and said happily.

"Okay, Zicong, sit down and talk. You don't know that a lot of things have happened in Nanpi City these days." Liu Bei called Han Fei into the seat and continued.

"Is the lord talking about the Mi family?"

"It's true that Mi Zhu, the big man from Mi family. He not only set up many shops, but also invited many familiar merchants to come to Nanpi City to do business. I believe that more merchants will pour into Nanpi during the New Year, and then the city gate tax will double several times a day, hundreds of coins will be added!" Liu Bei said excitedly.

"Lord, you don't need to be so excited. City gate tax is nothing?" Han Fei took a sip of tea and fanned it and said to Liu Bei.

"Oh? What do Zicong think?" The last time Han Fei spoke to Liu Bei, and then offered a plan to recruit merchants, making Liu Bei's pocket bulge suddenly. Now Liu Bei looked at his appearance, did he have a new plan? Xin Ping, who was standing beside him, was also curious about what Han Fei was going to say. He was about to say goodbye, so he continued to stay there.

Without letting Liu Bei and Xin Pingjiu wait, he smiled and said, "I think I won't charge this city gate tax after the New Year!"

"Absurd!" Xin Ping stopped doing it as soon as he heard it. Now more than 100 guan this day seems not a lot, and he can't resist the long flow of water. Ten days is 1,000 guan, and one hundred days is 10,000 guan. How can you stop like this? He pointed at Han Fei and said angrily: "Zicong, you are not in charge of the company and don't know how expensive the firewood and rice are!"

Han Fei was not making a fuss and still looked at Xin Ping with a smile. It was Liu Bei who spoke: "Zhongzhi should not get angry first, let Zicong finish his words, I believe he will definitely give a reason."

"Okay! I want to see what his reason is!" After saying that, she sat down angrily and stopped talking.

Han Fei coughed: "Cough! Lord, Brother Zhongzhi, do you think this city gate tax is very reasonable?"

"Isn't this an unreasonable thing? Which city does not need to pay taxes when entering the city? It is natural to pay taxes when entering the city." Before Liu Bei could speak, Xin Ping said first. However, Liu Bei did not object after hearing this, but nodded instead. That's right.

After hearing this, Han Fei laughed and the louder the laughter. Just when Xin Ping was about to break out again, Han Fei finally spoke. He said: "If I were a businessman, there would be a tax on the city of the city, but there would be no tax on the city of the city. If the two cities made similar profits, I would definitely go to the one who did not have a tax on the city of the city. Another situation is that both cities had a tax on the city of the city, but if one city of merchants had more than one city of the city, the less merchants, then I would definitely go to the city of the city of the city where there were fewer merchants, because I would earn more if I had less competition there. In other words, when our merchants reached a certain scale, the tax on the city of the city would hinder the new merchant from entering the city, because the competition in this city was fierce and his profit would be lower."

Speaking of this, Han Fei paused for a moment and asked the two to think about what he said, and then he continued: "Businessmen are all for making money. They will go wherever they earn more. If the city fee is cancelled, more merchants will definitely come here."

"No, Zicong, you have also said that if the merchants come too much, the competition will be fierce. Even if there is no tax on entering the city, no one will come. But if there is no city fee, we will lose a large amount of investment." Xin Ping shook his head and said after hearing this.

"This is what I want to say. We won't collect taxes for entering the city, but we will collect taxes for trading." Han Fei directly showed his big move. He was stunned by Liu Bei and Xin Ping, and Liu Bei said, "What is trading tax for Zicong?"

"Lord, as the name suggests, transaction tax is the tax collected during transactions. Any ten transactions are taxes."

"Every transaction is taxed, and the merchant is afraid that he will not agree."

"Of course not every transaction is taxed. I will set up a trading platform in the city. Merchants can sell their own goods on the platform. If someone buys them, they will have to pay one-tenth of the government's tax. There is absolutely no problem in this operation."

"Do you think Zhongzhi is feasible?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked Xin Ping.

"This... what platform you are talking about is suitable for the aristocratic and big merchants. Will we not collect taxes on those small merchants?" Xin Ping asked with a frown.

"Cache, we can collect business tax! As long as you are operating, you have to pay taxes. Of course, the business tax cannot be too high. If it is collected high, it will scare the merchant away."

Liu Bei and Xin Ping were fainted by Han Fei's remarks. Han Fei knew that the two needed time to digest what he said, so he stood up and said goodbye and went back home. After a long time, Liu Bei realized that he asked Xin Ping: "Can taxes really be collected like this? Then will I be very rich in the future!"

"Lord, I think about it carefully. What Zicong said is quite reasonable, but you still need to decide how to collect this tax yourself." Xin Ping rubbed his swelling head and said.

"Well, let me think twice! Let me think twice!"

Time flies and two days passed. Han Fei has been drunk for the past two days. There is no way to know the news of his return. Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanjun rushed to Han Fei's house with two jars of wine. He drank Han Fei very much that day. After that, Zhang Fei wanted to pull him to drink. As a result, Han Fei made an excuse to hide.

He knew that he was caught by Guan Yu, so he ate another blow. If Guan Yu were alone, he wouldn't be drunk. Han Fei was also a man who could play against Zhang Sanye. However, when the two were halfway through drinking, Zhang Fei actually came here. Han Fei was so tragic.
