Chapter 6880 Qin Land Recruitment
Although tariffs on fiefdom trade have been cancelled, the arrival of these caravans and local consumption directly stimulated the growth of the local economy and increased the income of various local industries. While the income increased, the local people needed to pay personal taxes, business Taxes will naturally go up.
The revenue reduced from tariffs has been made up from personal taxes and commercial taxes, without any losses and increased, and the income of local people has also increased.
"Brother, we don't have enough wine at home. Go to Yangjia Liquor and buy twenty bottles and come back!"
"Third brother, feed all the guests' horses."
"Brothers and sisters, go and tell the uncle's family to clean up the house."
After the young man brought the people back, he quickly notified his family to get busy.
The young man's third brother, the third brother, looked at this scene and sighed: "Mr. Mu is really a genius. He asked us to simply renovate the extra rooms. I didn't expect that there would be so much business."
The young man smiled and said: "That's not true. Sir is the god who came down to benefit us, the people of Qin. You didn't go to see the streets. It's so lively. They are all caravans from outside."
The third child said: "When Mr. Hu announced that he would cancel tariffs, many people said he was a fool. Now it seems that those people are short-sighted."
The young man said: "No matter what policies Mr. Mu proposes in the future, as long as we follow his direction, we will definitely make no mistake!"
After a large number of caravans entered Qin, Xiang Chen asked Han Chang to prepare an investment conference, invited the leaders of major chambers of commerce to participate in the investment conference, and also told Han Chang and others what to do.
In the capital of the King of Qin, Xianle Restaurant held an investment promotion conference.
The hall was full of people, no fewer than thousands of people attended, and most of them were leading figures from major chambers of commerce.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you are here too."
"Haha, shopkeeper Zhu, long time no see."
Businessmen who met each other greeted each other.
"Your Yuanfang Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the black ore business. I'm afraid you won't make less money this time after the tariffs are cancelled, right?" Shopkeeper Zhu asked with a smile.
"No, of course, it's not as profitable as your Zhu family's salt and iron business. Yours is the one with huge profits. Now that there are no tariff restrictions, making money is what makes people jealous." Shopkeeper Liu sighed.
Shopkeeper Zhu said: "But who is Mr. Mu Chen who can actually allow His Highness the King of Qin to implement such a policy in Qin?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "I heard that he was received by Emperor Feng and Emperor Yun in the imperial capital, but it seems that after being rejected by these two majesties, he turned to His Highness the King of Qin."
"Haha, you are all behind on the news." At this time, a fat man in blue clothes came over with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Zhao." The two of them also knew each other and clasped their fists. They were big businessmen in the textile and cloth business.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "I just came back from the Imperial Capital. Do you know what news I heard in the Imperial Capital?"
"What's the news?" Both of them looked curious, and everyone around them pricked up their ears.
Shopkeeper Zhao said in a deep voice: "When he was in the imperial capital, His Highness King Qin personally drove Mr. Mu as a groom and took Mr. Mu to pay homage to Emperor Feng and Emperor Yun!"
"What??" The two of them and the people around them were in disbelief. His Highness King Qin was working as a groom for Mr. Mu? ?
"Hey, is it true? How could His Highness King Qin do this? Is Mr. Mu really worthy of being so great?" Shopkeeper Liu asked in disbelief.
Shopkeeper Zhao chuckled: "There is something even more shocking. Do you know what Mr. Mu said when he met Feng Emperor and Yun Emperor?"
"What did you say?" Many people around came over.
Shopkeeper Zhao whispered: "Mr. Mu directly criticized Feng Emperor and Yun Emperor for engaging in internal struggles, and suggested that they abolish the privileges of the powerful, abolish the slavery system, and focus on developing people's livelihood and economy -"
He briefly stated the suggestions Xiang Chen made in the imperial capital. Everyone present was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
"Aren't you going to go against all the powerful people in the world?"
"Thinking about it, it seems like this has happened in Qin recently. Earl Li left Qin with his entire family and all the family property some time ago. Guess what? Earl Li's family was attacked by bandits, and no one in the family was left!"
"Hiss—" Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath when they heard the words. They were shocked and immediately thought of many things.
Shopkeeper Zhu said solemnly: "If the privileges of the powerful class can really be abolished, then in the future we businessmen will no longer have to back them up for oppression and exploitation."
In the Fengyun Empire, businessmen had the lowest social status and belonged to the lower class. They belonged to the same social class as prostitutes. No matter how rich they were, they had no social status and could not enter official careers or the military.
While everyone was discussing, a group of people came in from outside the hotel.
The person who came was very powerful and was surrounded by many strong men. It was Han Chang.
Everyone immediately fell silent. Han Chang came to the hall, stood on the front stage, and said with a smile: "My Excellency Han Chang, the newly established Vice Minister of Commerce in Qin, thank you all for coming to our investment conference."
"Deputy Minister of Commerce?" Everyone felt that this term was a bit novel.
However, they all said in unison, stood up and clasped their fists, saying, "I've met Minister Han."
Han Chang said with a smile: "The main purpose of this investment conference is to do business and make friends with friends from all directions."
"Nowadays, everyone knows that we have abolished tariffs in Qin. When you come to Qin to do business, you don't need to pay tariffs. You only need to pay basic commercial taxes. I think this has greatly facilitated everyone."
"But since everyone has come to Qin, I would also like to ask everyone to help the merchants and people in Qin. I hope that everyone can take the goods from Qin out and sell them outside on the way back.
We will sell the goods to you at a price that is 10% lower than the local market price. You can sell them outside. It's up to you to set the price and make money."
As soon as these words came out, many businessmen's eyes lit up. Qin naturally has many specialties that are not available outside, such as Qin fruit and Qin plum, which are produced in abundance in Qin. They are fruits loved by many wealthy people outside.
These fruits are very cheap in Qin. Assuming that one catty in Qin is only one tael, it starts at at least five taels outside. When they come to Qin, they will also buy local goods and sell them outside.
"Minister Han, you are too polite. The abolition of tariffs in Qin is to take care of those of us who make money from running errands. If we can help fellow traders in Qin, we will naturally be happy!" The shopkeeper immediately expressed his opinion, and many people followed suit.
Then Han Chang discussed the details of future cooperation with each caravan.
