Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Everyone gulped it down in one gulp, not a single drop was left!

Li Ke could just take a sip, but they had to finish it.

No way, who will make Li Ke the biggest?

At this time, Li Ke also had a strange feeling in his heart.

When he was in Chang'an City, Li Shimin was basically sitting in his position.

But now after he sits up by himself, everyone below him wants to respect him and ponder over his words and deeds.

This feeling made him feel yearning.

yearning for that position.

It's not just the highest position in Datang.

It is the highest position in the whole world!

After continuing to drink, Li Ke also took a few more sips.

The main reason is that the wine prepared here is the Huajian wine sold from Chang'an City!

You can also drink Huajian wine in Yangzhou. It seems that the sales of Huajian wine here are also good!

"Your Highness, I'm the Governor of Yangzhou, Shi Zhanjun, in charge of Yangzhou's military affairs."

"From now on, His Highness needs to give orders at any time!"

Zhan Jun stepped forward to toast Li Ke, introduced himself, and expressed his opinion to Li Ke.

His position in Yangzhou is quite important, after all, he is in charge of military affairs.

As the governor, Li Ke is in charge of military and political affairs, and military affairs must be under Li Ke's key control.

After all, no matter where the military power is, it is very important.

"Well, Mr. Zhan has a heart."

Li Ke nodded with a smile, and took a small sip.

If Zhan Jun didn't take the initiative to express his position to him tonight.

He will arrange for Su Dingfang to become the new governor of Yangzhou.

Since Zhan Jun is a smart person, it is enough to maintain the status quo.

Next, the main officials of Yangzhou and Suzhou came forward to offer a round of wine.

Li Ke also basically has a knowledge and understanding of them.

Because of his photographic memory, he remembered everything he introduced himself to him.

Soon, the dinner party ended with laughter and laughter.

Li Ke returned to the Governor's Mansion under the escort of Su Dingfang and others.

Early the next morning, Li Ke still got up early to do morning exercises as in Chang'an.

During the nearly a month of being on the road, he didn't have any morning exercises, and he felt a little rusty.

"Your Highness, your method of exercising your body will never be heard before."

Su Dingfang looked at Li Ke exercising in a modern way, and said in surprise.

"It can be promoted in the Shenji camp in the future."

Li Ke smiled, these are scientific exercise methods summed up in modern times.

That's how it works in the army.

"Yes!"

Su Dingfang nodded curiously.

Although he doesn't understand these movements, as a famous general in the army, he can feel that the effect of this exercise method should be very good.

Thinking of what Li Ke just explained, he decided to use this exercise method in the Shenji camp!

After the morning exercise, Li Ke ate some breakfast and came to the study.

Wu Meiniang and Xie Wan'er, two beautiful secretaries, were still sitting in front of two tables, one on the left and one on the right.

"Wan'er, inform well-known businessmen from Yangzhou and Suzhou to come to see the king at the Governor's Mansion."

Li Ke thought for a while, then said to Xie Wan'er.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xie Wan'er heard the words, and then went out to find someone.

"Does Your Highness want to recruit wealthy local businessmen from Yangzhou and Suzhou to quickly expand your influence here?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke out, and asked Li Ke tentatively.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang in surprise.

He really didn't expect that Wu Meiniang actually guessed the plan in his heart!

Is this the empress halo?

Sure enough, there is something!

PS: The sixth update!Today's update is complete! .

Chapter 162 Proxy Auction!Li Ke wants to build a big ship!

"Why do you say that?"

Li Ke wanted to test Wu Meiniang, so he asked her.

"If we establish sales channels in Yangzhou by ourselves, it will take time and squeeze the living space of local businessmen."

"Although you are the king of Wu and the governor of Yangzhou, businessmen are after profits. If your arrival squeezes their interests, they will naturally not be arrested without a fight."

"They have been operating here for many years, and their background and foundation are very deep. Although they are still unable to fight against you, it will take time to clean them up."

"Then it's better to lure them in, so that you can get the sales channels they have accumulated for many years at the fastest speed, and you only need to pay - a small part of the profit."

"It seems that part of the profit has been distributed, but in fact it has saved a lot of time and energy, and overall it is still profitable."

Wu Meiniang quickly analyzed her thoughts.

She felt that Li Ke should think so too.

"Yes, quite clever."

Li Ke nodded with a smile, a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.

have a look?

What is an empress?

At such a young age, I already had such insight.

When she grows up a bit, she will probably be able to really start to show the demeanor of an empress!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise!"

Wu Meiniang was very happy when she heard Li Ke praised her for being smart.

Seeing that the empress in history was very happy because of her own praise, Li Ke couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

As Wu Meiniang said, Li Ke really had this plan in mind.

The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

Although these businessmen are not local snakes, he is not comparable to Qianglong.

He wants to run over these businessmen, so easy!

However, these businessmen have been operating here for many years and have mature and perfect sales networks and channels.

If Li Ke went to get through it by himself, it would take time and effort, not to mention that it might not be good to have their sales network and channels.

It's better to use their off-the-shelf ones directly!

As for how to use it?

Just pull them in!

How to recruit them is also very simple, just give them the agency rights of some things sold in Chang'an City.

In this way, do not believe that they are not tempted.

Moreover, his plan goes far beyond leveraging their sales network and channels.

He will also use the influence of these people in the Jiangnan business community to carry out his next plan!

This plan is, commercial tax and bank!

Commercial tax must be collected, otherwise Datang’s financial revenue will never come up just by collecting agricultural tax.

But how to collect commercial tax is also a big problem.

Li Ke plans to conduct pilot projects in Yangzhou and Suzhou first, and figure out a set of commercial taxes suitable for Datang.

Then it will be extended to all prefectures and counties throughout Datang.

And if you want to collect business taxes, you have to deal with these big businessmen!

Only by dealing with these big businessmen who have great influence in the business circles of Yangzhou and Suzhou, can business taxes be collected smoothly in the entire Yangzhou and Suzhou!

After all, if someone took the lead in handing in, the people below knew that they couldn't escape, so they would naturally follow suit.

You may be reluctant at first, but as long as you develop the habit of paying taxes, you will enter the rules of paying taxes.

Then it will be a matter of course to pay taxes.

Therefore, Li Ke pulled these big businessmen into his group.

One is to use their sales network and channels.

The second is to let them be the first batch of taxpayers!

As for how to make them pay taxes willingly, Li Ke naturally has a way.

In addition to commercial taxes, banks are also very important in his plan.

In Chang'an City, because of the large transaction volume, the copper coins were very heavy and inconvenient to trade and carry.

So he made a small-scale circulation check in the palace.

But that was in Chang'an City, he couldn't let go.

Now in Yangzhou, he has the final say here.

He can also use Yangzhou and Suzhou as pilots to open banks.

If a bank wants to succeed, it must first make everyone willing to recognize the banknotes you issue.

Otherwise, even if you open a bank and issue banknotes, if others do not recognize or accept them, they will naturally not be usable.

Therefore, he also needs to deal with these big local businessmen first.

As long as these big merchants take the lead in recognizing banknotes, the small merchants below will also recognize banknotes.

Since you can use banknotes to buy things in shops, the purchasing power is still the same as that of the same copper coins.

It's easy to hold in your hand, how would the common people be willing to use it?

And how to make big businessmen willing to use banknotes?

This is actually very simple.

Except for some of the means he will take to make these big businessmen willing to use banknotes.

Paper money itself is also very suitable for people like them to do business.

Especially after commerce and trade become more and more developed, the amount of transactions will become larger and larger.

At this time, it is not so convenient to trade with copper coins, or gold and silver.

If there is a portable currency at this time, they will naturally be willing to use it.
