Chapter 204 I want to open a shop!
During this trip to the SAO world, Li Yalin gained a lot. Not only did his own strength make a great breakthrough, but the most important thing was the various resources collected in the SAO world.
This is what Li Yalin values most.
After all, the purpose of returning to the SAO world is to get more resources, not just for money, but also to vigorously develop the blood alliance city.
Today's Blood Alliance City still has great potential for Li Yalin to be tapped. What he has to do now is not only to make money, but also to make the residents of Blood Alliance City live a good life.
In this way, it will be relatively difficult, and it will also require Li Yalin to have a deeper understanding of the world.
In fact, before going to the SAO world, Li Yalin had already conducted a systematic and detailed investigation of the situation in the city. As for the main direction of the investigation, it was the development situation in the city.
According to the survey, although Blood Alliance City is not prosperous, under Chessia's careful management, the residents can be considered to live and work in peace and contentment. At least they will not be without food, clothing or warmth. Those who are really poor are extremely poor.
individual phenomena.
The reason why the treasury is empty is directly related to the low tax revenue in Blood Alliance City, but it is precisely because of this that our Lord Demon King's small treasury is so painful.
Li Yalin has always believed that taxation is taken from the people and used by the people. Only when the country develops well can it bring more preferential policies to the people.
But just after Li Yalin proposed increasing taxes, he encountered strong opposition from Cecia.
According to Cecia, the Blood Alliance City is an example of the true Demon Kingdom. Although many of the ten nobles and lords from various places do not care about this capital without real power. But at least if there is any trouble in the Blood Alliance City, it will cause the nobles of all parties to
Lord's attention.
The taxes in Blood Alliance City are indeed low, but it is also a helpless move. Once Blood Alliance City increases taxes, lords from all over the country will surely follow suit, which will still bring losses to the people.
You must know that the tax revenue of each fiefdom of the True Demon Kingdom is higher than that of the Blood Alliance City. If the Blood Alliance City sets a precedent, then will the noble lords of the True Demon Kingdom have any scruples?
Although the real demon country's vitality has recovered a lot now, the massive increase in taxes across the country will definitely make the reputation of His Majesty the Demon King Li Yalin plummet.
Although reform is good, now is not the time. Once taxes are really raised, Li Yalin, the demon king, will definitely receive a lot of rebuke. This is not suitable for the great cause of rebuilding the real demon country in the future.
When Cecia said these words, Li Yalin suddenly understood. It seemed that he still thought too little. Just like Cecia said, although taxes are very important, his reputation must also be preserved.
.
Even if he, the demon king, represents the will of the entire demon clan, if all his subjects are dissatisfied with him, how can he continue to be the demon king?
Those ten nobles were eyeing him covetously, and they might bite him at any time. If the wall fell and everyone pushed him away, he would be in tragedy.
It seems that the issue of increasing taxes should wait until the whole territory is unified before considering it. At that time, the places with low taxes will increase taxes and the places with high taxes will reduce taxes. Only the balance is fundamental. Li Yalin understands this very well.
of.
But the unification of the entire territory cannot be achieved in a day or two, and no one can easily give up the power in their hands. When facing the ten nobles in the future, Li Yalin knows very well that there will be a battle in all likelihood, and before this battle
, he must better increase his strength!
Not only himself, but also the Blood Alliance City. As the foundation of Li Yalin, the Blood Alliance City must be allowed to prosper first!
If the taxes are not enough, then...
Got it!
After thinking for a while, Li Yalin suddenly had an idea. Isn't the tax in Blood Alliance City very low? Then make good use of this tax and do something in this regard!
This world is rampant with force, but it doesn't pay much attention to business. Businessmen have always been a relatively low-status profession. At best, they are just a little better than ordinary civilians.
But not everyone in this world can become strong, so in the eyes of many people, making money in business is also a way to get rich. Even the nobles have their own caravans to make money and increase their income.
Money is a good thing, although it is not everything, but without it it is absolutely impossible.
Warriors value fame, and businessmen value profits. If there are benefits, then...
Before going to the SAO world, Li Yalin had a detailed discussion with Cecia, and the content of the discussion was to issue an announcement in the name of the Demon King. The Blood Alliance City was prepared to support commercial activities. Not only would business taxes be low, but a large number of weapons and magic would also be sold.
Props. Chambers of commerce from all over the Real Demon Country are welcome to visit.
Not only that, Li Yalin also asked Qesiya to secretly say that he was planning to find several chambers of commerce for long-term cooperation and was currently selecting and considering them.
Being able to cooperate with His Majesty the Demon King is a privilege for many businessmen. After all, if you are related to the Demon King, your chamber of commerce will become the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Although you may not necessarily get benefits immediately, but with this name,
Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to make money in the future?
As soon as the smoke bomb was released, many businessmen were interested in going to the Blood Alliance City to find out what was going on. As the saying goes, businessmen value profits. As long as there is something profitable, they will take the initiative to try it.
In fact, Chessia didn't understand Li Yalin's approach very much.
It is a fact that the taxes in Blood Alliance City are very low. Even if it can attract businessmen, so what? Even if the transaction volume increases, it is impossible to receive too much tax. After all, Cecia is only good at internal affairs and business.
It can be said that she doesn't understand it at all.
Moreover, Li Yalin left without giving her an explanation for this matter.
Although she was puzzled, Cecia still carried out the plan, issued an announcement across the country, and secretly spread the news. She wanted to see what step our Demon King could take!
At the beginning, Cecilia didn't have a good impression of Li Yalin. After all, there was an embarrassing contact. Even if Cecilia didn't say it on the surface, she would still be unhappy in her heart.
But what Li Yalin did next shocked her. Originally, she didn't care at all about this Demon King who looked inconspicuous and had no power at all. However, this Demon King showed shock.
He used his own powerful weapons and trained the troops of Blood Alliance City into a tiger and wolf army!
Although the strength is insufficient, the ability cannot be underestimated, and Cecia has also discovered that every time she sees the Demon King, there will be a change in His Majesty the Demon King, and his strength will increase by leaps and bounds!
It’s interesting, how far can His Majesty the Demon King reach? Can he become the real Demon King?
Cecilia gradually felt curious in her heart, and at the same time she decided to use her own abilities to help His Majesty the Demon King to see if he could fulfill his bold words!
What's more important is that even if he doesn't want to admit it, he is the future of his three sisters...
Ahem, in short, during the period when Li Yalin left, although Checia did not know the situation, she carried out Li Yalin's orders very well. At least after Li Yalin returned, she found that many businessmen had gathered in the Blood Alliance City.
"There are currently thirty-two chambers of commerce in Blood Alliance City, including two large chambers of commerce and the rest are small chambers of commerce."
"Very good, very good, but it's not enough. I need more chambers of commerce to participate. All of this is just the beginning!"
In the room, Li Yalin was having a secret conversation with Cecilia, and on the table in front of the two of them were several rolls of parchment. Written on them were the names of the chambers of commerce that had come to Blood Alliance City since Li Yalin left.
Chessia was very surprised by this. She originally thought it would be good to have a few chambers of commerce come, but who would have thought that Li Yalin's announcement turned out to be so influential, not to mention that twenty-three chambers of commerce came in one go.
, she also received a tip that in the next few days, chambers of commerce will arrive one after another.
But looking at Li Yalin's appearance, he doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the current situation. No wonder, he wants to develop Blood Alliance City, but these two dozen chambers of commerce alone are not enough.
What's more, thirty of them are small chambers of commerce, basically composed of several businessmen holding shares.
It is said to be a small chamber of commerce, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a small company opened by a few people. Naturally, Li Yalin will not take this kind of chamber of commerce seriously. What he needs now is a large chamber of commerce, so that it can bring him more benefits.
"What does Your Majesty need me to do?" Looking at Li Yalin walking back and forth in the room, Cecia pondered for a moment before finally speaking.
After all, she still couldn't understand Li Yalin's thoughts.
"Arrange a few shops for me, and ask for the best location in the city, and I will open a shop!"
"What?"
Qesiya never expected that Li Yalin would actually say that I want to open a store and His Majesty the Demon King wants to do business? If this kind of thing spreads, people will laugh to death!
The Demon King is the king of the Demon Clan! It represents the will of the entire Demon Clan! It is the symbol and hope of the Demon Clan!
But now His Majesty the Demon King wants to open a shop and become a businessman. Isn’t this nonsense?
"There is no way. If possible, I don't want to show up, but Blood Alliance City has reached its most difficult moment. At this time, it is no longer the time to worry about identity. Cecia, just do as I say."
Seeing Chesia's surprised expression, Li Yalin knew what she was thinking, and he felt quite helpless about this matter.
It's not that Li Yalin thinks that opening a store and doing business will affect his identity, it's just that he doesn't know much about business, so he has to bite the bullet this time.
After all, doing business is no more fun than fighting.
