Using land in exchange for long-lasting business in the future is profitable no matter how you look at it, because the rent paid to the Shu Palace and the people in the inner city is an annual rent. Even if the tax rate is much lower, everyone can benefit from it. Except those who buy and sell by force.
"I'm so angry. Land prices are so high now!"
"Otherwise we just buy all the land and raise the price together, so maybe we can make some money."
"I'm afraid we don't know how we will die by then. Now we either have to stand still or we really have to sell it at a low price!"
The king of Shu's trick caught the Qizhou family off guard, and the land in their hands was going to depreciate, which was already very uncomfortable. I thought I could raise the land price and make more money, but my cleverness turned out to be a mistake.
The land prices in the inner city have maintained a slowly rising stage. In addition, Li Ke took the initiative to reduce taxes and fees on trade. Licheng is now the most prosperous city east of Chang'an City, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver every day. In addition, Li Ke actually made money by consuming the backlog of cement and other building materials.
The fifty million taels that Boshan lent him were of no use, but the one million taels of silver that he dug out from the prince became a lever to leverage Qizhou's economy, which was a particularly big deal.
This trick really blinded everyone. The only person who made the decision and knew about it was Li Ke. He was afraid that if the news leaked out, he would be killed. If someone insisted on buying land before the new policy was released, the price increase was actually caused by others. Fortunately, the others were too conservative and could barely control the situation.
There were bursts of music in the palace. The prince was commending the officials who had outstanding performance in the Licheng fire. In fact, he was trying to win people's hearts. He did not expect that it would be a protracted struggle. Li Ke, his half-brother, He really didn't play according to the routine, and he even got caught in the pigtails.
Li Ke maintained superficial etiquette with the officials at the banquet. At present, he really didn't know who else could be used. Quan Wanji and Qin Zaiming toasted one after another, and there was no interaction between the three of them. They belong to two camps, and knowing too much is bad.
Within one day, more than half of the people signed the agreement and were willing to permanently lease the land to the King of Shu in Qizhou. They also thought about selling the land to others at a reduced price, but no one was willing to spend money on something that could not make money, so Li Ke The new policy is the only way to survive, and the big family can't make trouble.
In the next few days, construction will start one after another on the ruins, in order to make Licheng operational again. With a wave of economic development, the 20 million taels of silver left by Changsun Wuji will be recovered sooner or later. Yes, let’s live by collecting businessmen’s taxes and fees.
In fact, there are also tax reductions in various places, but the intensity is really not as great as that of Li Ke. He encourages more idle businessmen to do business in Licheng. They will not make money at the beginning. As long as it makes people look like this is an economically developed city. city, this is already very advanced and completely going against the wind.
"When did you become so smart? When you were a child, you burned the books and only stayed with people who flattered you. How could you come up with so many tricks!"
It was rare for Li Chengqian not to drink and have fun, but to ask sincere questions. Li Ke's new policy could not make people realize that as the prince, he also knew that a town must rely on the people to operate, and Licheng will rely on business to grow and develop in the future. .
"There are so many things you don't know. You said I like flatterers, so how come Lin Changping stays by your side? He has no abilities at all. Apart from being able to produce a pitiful amount of MSG, I really don't see what abilities he has."
That's being said very politely, because Lin Changping, his sworn enemy on the surface, has not been able to do anything decent so far, and he has also resorted to spy tactics. He only has scenes of being completely tortured, so Li Ke is not afraid of anything. effect.
The scene of people drinking and drinking, singing and dancing, this is the high-end social circle of the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Changping did not attend the dinner, but kept studying the New Deal. He thought that after studying for several years, the result was not as good as a prince with evil intentions. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore.
As he walked back to his room, he began to wonder how his revenge plan would be carried out. Li Ke was too smart to accept it.
The next day, the prince really drove back to Chang'an, and on the same day he received the special funds originally planned to be distributed by the court, a total of three million taels of silver. In the end, Li Chengqian took more than half of it. It was Li Ke who seized the opportunity and forced He vomited everything out, and gradually came to believe that this was Adou who couldn't help him.
Only one million taels of silver were used for the New Deal, and the remaining two million taels were used to appease the people who had worked hard in the Licheng fire. Even if the positions were different, rewards and punishments still had to be clear.
The inner city is being actively repaired, and a large number of residential land in the outer city has been bought. People who have been complaining about having no money to live still dig out treasures from the ground. In Licheng under the governance of the King of Shu, opportunism is real No more, we can only sincerely hope that commerce will prosper.
"Your Majesty, the old man didn't come to collect debts. Why don't you keep all the money and use it if you can in the future?"
Chen Shou was heartbroken that the 50 million taels of silver would be sent back intact. He knew at the beginning that the Lord was going to make a deal with a remnant of the previous dynasty, but he did not expect such a result.
There was a lot of scattered silver, and the box that originally contained them was put on the wooden cart again, preparing to leave Boshan's courtyard in the city.
"I don't want his dirty money. I don't even know where it came from. I'll feel at ease returning it. You can ask him for it and see if he gives it to you!"
Li Ke is not joking. Bo Shan was able to retain tens of millions of taels of net worth after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He must have other abilities. The most important thing is that this person is also ruthless. I don’t know what will happen to Yasha if he falls into his hands. .
Qingcui walked back and forth between the convoys with a stick in her hand, begging Chen Shou to follow her. She was an innocent woman, but she was more dedicated than a man.
As they set off, the convoy set off from Licheng in a mighty manner. Everyone they met on the road knelt down and bowed to Li Ke. This was the greatest happiness at present. He had changed a city by himself. It would be almost impossible in later generations with serious internal involvement. realized.
In a corner of the ruins, buds broke through the ashes and grew toward the sun.
The matter in Licheng came to an end, and the carrier pigeon also conveyed the secret. However, they saw a group of ministers in the imperial study room, but Li Shimin was nowhere to be seen.
Wei Zheng pushed open the door and walked directly to the inner courtyard of the palace. Couldn't the emperor remember his previous advice? He also heard that there was a maid in the harem who could charm all living beings, and even a woman like Queen Changsun couldn't resist her.
