Chapter 1004 Allowing Trade
The additional condition is that the sphere of influence of the Tang Kingdom must allow trade, and the taxes followed must be implemented in accordance with the negotiation conditions.
That is to say, the shops opened by merchants from Youzhou from the forces of the Tang Kingdom must be subject to tax restrictions on the terms agreed upon, which is very beneficial to merchants in Youzhou.
For his Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan had to agree, establishing cooperation to avoid war, and the joint military dispatch between Taiyuan Prefecture and Wagang was also cancelled.
Two months later, the Central Plains region became the sphere of influence in Youzhou, and Pei Qingxuan's work began to increase the integration management of cities and counties and had to occupy a lot of manpower and material resources.
Li De decided to build a large city in the Central Plains region, called the Central City, but there was still no wall. After setting up the plan, the funding was started to be implemented.
The plan of the central city is even larger than that of Youzhou. It opens mountains and cuts stones, builds bridges and paves roads, and the entire Youzhou power begins to operate.
This result was what the Tang Kingdom hoped to see. The development of Youzhou in the Central Plains was no longer time to take into account other key business developments.
The situation in the world changed again. Youzhou was the biggest winner in the battle of Central Plains, and at the same time, he was really dispersed by Central Plains.
The Tang State suffered huge losses, and Li Shimin took a lot of advantage, but the matters within the Tang Dynasty were still not resolved, which could be said to be even more intense.
Because Li Shimin's wings are stronger.
After the incident, Wagang City received bicycle processing equipment manufactured in Youzhou on time. The factory, which had been busy for four months, was ready to be completed.
Production can be started in the fifth month. What surprised Li Shimin was that there were still preferential prices for purchasing bicycle production materials from Youzhou, but he was not responsible for round-trip transportation.
Although it is a discount, the bicycles they produced were still much higher after the Battle of Central Plains.
The Youzhou market is still open to them.
As a transportation tool, bicycles effectively accelerate work efficiency, especially tricycles, which have become the most important tool.
After the emergence of the second bicycle production workshop in Wagang City, it really alleviated the demand of the people in Youzhou.
Changsun Wuji is now dreaming that he is laughing. Looking at the bicycles produced every day, the cost is a little more expensive, but the sales price in Youzhou is still 100 cents per unit and 500 cents of tricycles.
Why are tricycles so expensive? Tricycles use a lot of iron, and they are not ordinary small tricycles.
In order to satisfy sufficient pulling force, the blacksmiths in Youzhou invented a double-row bicycle. An ordinary tricycle is powered by one person, and the double-row bicycle chain is driven by two people and two confidence bike chains.
Such bicycles are called freight bicycles, and the cargo volume is twice that of ordinary bicycles. And because they are used for transportation by two people, it will save a lot of effort.
Bicycle processing in Wagang City is now an OEM factory, and their profits will be about 20% higher than those in Youzhou. Even if they sell a bicycle, they can earn 30 tons.
It's like selling a bicycle to get a horse.
Changsun Wuji was specifically responsible for this industry. He was shocked by the needs of the people of Youzhou. All the 600 bicycles shipped to Youzhou were sold out in just two months in less than half a month.
Six hundred bicycles are really nothing for a city with a population of one million in Youzhou. Tens of thousands of 18,000 were recorded in two months, which has to be paid attention to.
Changsun Wuji was too conservative and immediately arranged to increase production after obtaining such sales results, and production was in full swing.
Not only did they purchase materials from Youzhou for production, but the materials they arranged themselves also began to formally provide raw materials.
However, the price is much cheaper, and quality comparison is very important. Even if the quality cannot keep up with Youzhou, it will be a problem if it has been used for ten or eight years. No matter what, it is all made of iron. As long as it cannot be destroyed and maintained properly, there will be no problem at all.
However, the key materials still need to be purchased from Youzhou, such as rubber tires, which are not sold together.
Only now did Li Shimin know why Youzhou built rubber plantations in the south, and transporting them all were huge profits.
Changsun Wuji really wanted to invest, but now the south is not as good as he wants to do anything. After all, he has become the Youzhou forces and must be cautious in doing things.
If you want to invest in the construction of a rubber plantation, you can only apply through the official Youzhou official application, but the classification of rubber is Youzhou’s strategic materials, and no one can apply except for the registered merchants in Youzhou.
If you want to control some people as the bosses behind it, I'm sorry that Youzhou's review cannot be passed. Besides, even if it is successful, the procurement and sales of rubber will be controlled by Youzhou.
At present, there is really no other way to sell it to Youzhou officials. If you want to find another way, no one will acquire it. If you want to use it, it is a matter that needs to be solved first.
Although they wanted to intervene in the money-making industry, they could only watch it, which made Li Shimin decide that he must attach importance to the innovation of craftsmen like Li De.
When the steam engine of the bicycle workshop really started to run, Li Shimin saw a new force. In his opinion, if these forces were mastered, they would definitely give Wagang City a new future.
For this reason, he spent a lot of money to recruit craftsmen to start researching steam engines. Although the theory and technology are simple, the cost of imitating them is very high.
After the operation of Changsun Wuji and others, the steam engine was not built, but began to imitate the water-covered furnace. There are many rich people, and they have received many orders through family promotion.
So the blacksmiths in Wagang City were happy, and the continuous orders could make them a lot of money.
The accumulation of Wagang City is increasing rapidly.
Li Shimin suddenly knew why Li De attached so much importance to craftsmen. Although he regretted it a little too late, he was trying his best to make up for it.
Looking at Li Yuan in Chang'an again, the court officials felt safer after paying the compensation, but the strength of Youzhou forced them to work hard.
Li Yuan was originally a capable person. After this incident, he focused his development on business. It was not that he changed his mind but that reality had to let him do this.
The expenditure of one million guan compensation has a great impact on the development of the Tang State. The court officials may not feel it. As the emperor, he knew very well how long it would take to accumulate one million guan. It was not only a matter of time, but also prayed that the heaven would not make trouble for him.
Li De is currently studying what projects to take out to recover some funds. The development investment in the Central Plains region is more than he imagined. Even the Youzhou money treasury cannot be emptied.
The main reason is that the basic development is too weak, and it is completely starting from scratch, especially when it comes to building a central city, so people who have migrated cannot have a place to live.
