Chapter 2167 The economy develops again(1/2)
Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang brought the fish back. When the fish arrived, Li Shimin was very happy because he had never eaten such fish.
Because the quantity was so large that it couldn't be finished in a short while, so Li Shimin held a banquet and invited civil and military officials to taste it.
These three big fish weigh in at two thousand catties. If one person eats a little, there will still be plenty!
And when everyone ate these fish, everyone felt that the fish was really delicious.
As a result, everyone came forward one after another and asked Li Shimin to promote this type of fish.
And Li Shimin thought so too.
At that time, they ate novel seafood, such as king crab.
That was a long time ago too.
This time is just an opportunity.
Therefore, Li Shimin directly ordered the fishing of these fish.
After a period of time, fishing in the waters around Datang quickly got on track. A large number of fish were caught and served on people's tables.
Datang's economy has also been improved as a result. This is a huge improvement. The annual tax increase alone is also considerable.
Li Shimin really didn't expect this.
Unexpectedly, this one fish can actually make my own economy develop greatly.
This is something unexpected.
There are still many things that he can't think of. The benefits obtained from Li Min alone are even greater.
And Li Shimin ate more fish. This made him extremely satisfied.
But in terms of increasing income, Li Shimin is really not as good as Shengtang Group. Why do you say this?
Because Shengtang Group fundamentally solves the problem, that is, the fish caught need to be sold. And Shengtang Group has established a system from acquisition to sales. A large number of fish are purchased by them, not just fish, but also
The same goes for agricultural products, etc.
Especially some fruits.
With their acquisition, the people worked hard to produce, plant, and fish, and a lot of wealth was created. This is what the Shengtang Group wanted, and what Li Shimin wanted.
On this day, Li Shimin summoned Dai Zhou to the palace.
"Your Majesty!" Dai Zhou didn't know why Li Shimin asked him to enter the palace.
"Dai Zhou, let me ask you, how are your taxes lately?"
"Your Majesty, there is no statistics on this yet. If Your Majesty wants to know, I will do the statistics now."
This is not the beginning of the month, let alone the end of the month, so how can we have these data?
When Li Shimin heard this, he said: "Okay, hurry up, when will it be ready?"
"It only takes an hour. We already have some statistics and we just need to integrate them together."
"Okay, let's see how much it grows."
Li Shimin gave Dai Zhou a direction.
Dai Zhou understood.
Then I went through the entire data.
About an hour later, he walked in with a thick stack of paper.
Li Shimin was stunned when he saw so much paper.
"how?"
"Your Majesty, taxes have increased by at least 10% in the past few days! The increase is expected to increase again next year."
10%, that’s a lot.
Because Datang's economy has become very large, this 10% can be higher than the tax revenue in previous years.
This is the change Li Shimin made.
Because of a fish, the economy developed again.
This was an extremely explosive thing before.
Next, Dai Zhou said a lot more.
But these are not what Li Shimin wants to know.
He said: "Next we need to support the fishery so that people can fish more! Increase their income!"
Dai Zhou was shocked when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would take the initiative to do this.
This is the people's luck.
It is great for the people to have such an emperor.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Dai Zhou said immediately.
This is a good thing, and it will be a good thing in the future.
"Okay, that's it. If you need anything, just ask it directly, you know?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, it's none of your business, just go down!"
So Dai Zhou left Tai Chi Palace.
When Dai Zhou just walked out of the palace gate, he met Duan Lun, Minister of Industry.
Duan Lun was walking towards Tai Chi Palace in a hurry.
Dai Zhou blocked his way.
Dai Zhou asked Duan Lun: "Duan Shangshu, why did you come to Tai Chi Palace?"
Duan Lun saw it was Dai Zhou.
He said, "This is Shangshu Dai. I have something to talk to Your Majesty about."
"What exactly is it?"
Generally speaking, Duan Lun would not find Li Shimin to talk about things.
Unless there is something very important.
As for state affairs, it seems unlikely, so it might be something related to the Ministry of Industry.
What's going on with the Ministry of Industry?
Dai Zhou wanted to know very much.
Duan Lun today is indeed unusual. He came directly to chat with Li Shimin. There must be a reason.
"How about you come to the palace to see me too?"
Duan Lun said this at this time.
Dai Zhou didn't want to go back and see Li Shimin.
So, he excused himself and said: "No, no, I won't go. You can go, I still have things to deal with, so take my leave!"
After saying that, he left.
Although he is very curious, he has important things to do now and cannot go back to Tai Chi Palace.
Duan Lun entered the palace and found Li Shimin.
Li Shimin wondered why Duan Lun came.
So he asked: "Duan Lun, why are you here?"
Duan Lun said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have something very important to tell you!"
"Say! What's the matter?"
"Recently, Shengtang Group suddenly applied for a lot of land and started building some high-rise buildings. So I want to tell you!"
Li Shimin was confused.
What does Shengtang Group want to do?
"What are they applying for to build high-rise buildings on these lands?"
Li Shimin obviously didn't quite understand what Shengtang Group was doing.
"I don't know about this either. But I heard someone saying that the Sixth Prince wants to build some buildings called hotels."
"Hotel? Do they want to sell alcohol?"
A hotel is a liquor store, but it's not.
This is the common view.
