Accompanied by Xiao Jichen's inquiry, and the bodies and limbs of his trusted servants who were nervous to trembling violently, Li Yuanshu smiled, looked at the second young master of the Xiao Mansion with a smile, and then spoke, "I am Li Yuanshu of Xuecheng, and I have been granted the immortal fate and even the order to be promoted to the immortals. From today on, I will take charge of Xuecheng Mansion."

"From today, Xue Chengfu will be autonomous in Lu State. I welcome Mr. Xiao and the Xiao family to use Xue Chenggang as a transit base to travel around the world for trade, but from today on, remember to pay taxes. Twenty taxes!"

"In addition, all sailors and servants from Xue Chengfu in the Xiao family fleet immediately regain their freedom. The Xiao family can hire them normally, but they must give the same employment expenses and the same pension amount as the sailors and soldiers of Qi State."

"If there are any illegal acts in the area of ​​Xuechengfu in the future, my Li family will make a fair and strict punishment on behalf of Xuechengfu. I wonder if Mr. Xiao is willing to accept it?"

After saying these words, let alone Xiao Jichen's face changed drastically, he was so weird that even a few trusted servants beside him looked up at the sky with incredible expressions.

What's the thing?

You have obtained the fate of immortality and were ordered by the immortal to take over everything in Xuecheng? From today on, Xuecheng Mansion has separated from Lu and will be autonomous?

When we come here to go to business, we have to pay taxes? Pay taxes?!!!

If Li Yuanshu had not been standing in the void and speaking to them condescendingly, if everyone was standing on the ground face to face, you would not have shown such power to fly in the air. If you believe this or not, we would beat you to death?

When doing business, you have to pay taxes. What kind of international jokes are there? Even if you pay taxes in Da Shang, Rome and even the Tang Dynasty, they are all engraved in the imperial laws, especially in places like the Shang Empire where the monarchy is concentrated. If you dare to evade taxes, you must always face the iron fist suppression of the great Shang kingly power.

But the weak Lu State, no matter how well the geographical location is, no matter how great the geographical advantage it has in the Age of Discovery, who have heard of the merchant ships coming and going here pay taxes? Who should I give it to? The government? Just kidding.

In the Xiao family caravan, sailors and soldiers from Xuecheng must be given a fee and a pension according to the treatment of Qi State? This is a scam, let alone the normal employment fee for running to sea, only the pension amount after death in battle. The official Lu State is a man, five liang. If it is really dead in battle, it will be your turn to pay for it. The bureaucrats deduct two liang at all levels, which is good.

The Xiao family has a life of only four or two, which refers to grassroots soldiers, grassroots sailors, and management must have another price.

Qi State... Xiao Jichen, a senior member of the Xiao family, the Xiao family, who was the third prime minister of the Five Dynasties, knew of the treatment of the marine overlord Qi State. A grassroots navy or army died in battle and would be given a pension of fifty taels. His family would be exempted from all agricultural taxes in the next five years.

The relatives of the dead in battle will be treated preferentially and taken care of in all walks of life. With the same conditions, even if your conditions are slightly worse, you will choose you because you have relatives who have died for the country!

With this pension system, how can I let my Xiao family play with me? Let’s say that Guo Yihang, who died in the last battle of the Principality of Ventra, was a sailor. He only had 50 taels after five times the pension, which was the same as the basic pension price of grassroots soldiers in Qi State.

This is not to mention that the subsequent families of the dead who died in battle were exempted from five years of agricultural taxes, and all industries who entered social work were given preferential treatment and other benefits.

If the Xiao family recruits workers according to this standard, is this recruiting sailors or recruiting old men? He wants to do this. What should he think of a sailor who comes from other areas of Lu in the caravan, such as Qufu, who is born in the capital of Lu?

His face turned dark and green, and then he said, "You have magic skills, and I have nothing to say, but if you follow your words, I can only dismiss all Xuecheng people."

Uncle, this is not the treatment of recruiting soldiers at all.

If Li Yuanshufei hadn't talked to him in the sky, he would have embraced his old fist.

Although I can't figure out the specific depth of Li Yuanshu, it was just that the opponent could fly, which also made Xiao Jichen feel extremely afraid.

Li Yuanshu laughed, "It doesn't matter. My Li family can guarantee that all retired Xuecheng sailors and soldiers can live a living standard that is comparable to the people of Qi. Young Master Xiao will soon know that my Li family will drive away all the local tyrants and evil gentry who do evil in Xuecheng. Their industries will be kept for the people of Xuecheng."

Li Yuanshu is not stupid. He would not cherish everything he said to the people for nothing.

Even if you are considering the topic of immortality and immortality, it is not appropriate. You will distribute them all for free now. When you continue to expand outward in the future, continue to distribute them for free, or not?

But he will first use renting and then let you work hard for a few years to buy and distribute various real estate.

The Xu family, Wang family, Xue family and other gentry, once they have lost so many servants, even if they leave, they cannot take so many ships. The ships left behind, even various ship factories, can be rented to fishermen, sailors, etc. who cannot afford to buy ships.

With Xuecheng's geographical advantages, you can just pull up a boat to run a few times on the commercial channel, and you can turn a rental boat into a buy, and then exchange a small boat for a large boat.

Even in the feudal era, even if there were natural disasters, many refugees, under the organization of the government, could ensure that the refugees could not die, and build various favorable buildings, lyrical rivers, etc. Here, if the people of Xuecheng themselves do their jobs with the hope of establishing their own careers, their wages would be comparable to Qiguo, and more than 100,000 people in a city embarked on the road to becoming rich.

He didn't care about the little pit in Xiao Jichen's words at all. Do you think that using the gimmick of dismissal of all Xue Chengji can make the Xue Chengji sailors and soldiers chasing me and force me to give in? No, they will only cheer.

In fact, Li Yuanshu's overall impression of the Xiao family is not bad, and he is not resistant to Xiao Jichen's performance since he took over the Xiao family's caravan. This second young master of the Xiao family is not a playboy who bullies men and women, and he is often just a passerby in Xuecheng...

When he passed by, he rarely entered Xuecheng and basically lived in a private manor near the port, as did most of the Xiao family's sailors.

That's why he doesn't object to the other party doing business here and operating the dock industry. However, a large number of Xuecheng sailors and servants from the Xiao family caravan must improve their living standards.

It is impossible for the rest of the city to become rich quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye in the future. But those sailors and servants from Xuecheng are not welcomed.

Also, taxes are necessary.

The current Li family has the confidence to improve the people's living standards in a short period of time after taking over some of the property of the gentry and wealthy families such as Xu, Wang, Xue, etc., and it will definitely not work if it continues for a long time.

Regardless of whether the gentry or merchants here used to pay taxes in business, they must be included in the fiscal and taxation system from now on. The importance of commercial tax far exceeds that of agricultural tax.
