Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

More than [-]% of the buildings in this city are shops.

The rest are city defense army barracks, residences and other living buildings.

Only now did Li Er understand what a commercial city is.

This is a proper commercial city. Apart from shops, the streets are full of shops.

"How is it? Is Second Master still satisfied?" Qin Mu looked at Li Er and asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Li Er subconsciously responded.

At the beginning, Qin Mu proposed to exempt the three cities of Western Xinjiang from commercial tax for two years, but now it seems to be worthwhile.

And it's so worth it.

Two years later, it was the tax revenue brought to the imperial court by this shimmering golden city alone.

will be unimaginable.

Li Er also saw from this that the tax revenue brought by commercial development is indeed much higher than that of agriculture.

Today, Datang Agriculture can already solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of Datang.

If Datang wants to continue to lead the rest of the world, it must find another way to develop business.

Without sufficient tax revenue, it is impossible to support the development of Datang.

At this time, thousands of shops in the city were all stationed in the middle of the original business.

Followed by.

Li Er asked: "However, I don't understand one thing. Why are there so many shops left unused in this city? Is it because there are not enough shops here?"

Qin Mu shook his head, "Of course not, on the contrary, when the shop in Shuojin City was pre-sale, it was hard to find a shop."

"Why is that?" Li Er frowned.

Listen to the conversation between the two.

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and interjected, "Could it be that these shops are prepared for Hu merchants?"

heard.

Li Er suddenly realized.

Yes, he forgot Hu Shang.

Shining Gold City was originally a trading city.

The main focus is on business with countries in the Western Regions and even further regions in the West.

Without the presence of Hu merchants, Yeshuo Jincheng would lose its meaning.

Qin Mu nodded, "Uncle is right, the rest are for Hu merchants."

"In Shining Gold City, everyone is equal."

"It doesn't matter if you are a businessman from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, or a businessman from a small country in the Western Regions."

"As long as you come to Shuojin City, you have to follow the rules. No one can enjoy any privileges."

I heard this.

Li Er and Changsun Wuji nodded.

They agree with this.

For sustainable development, fairness is the most important thing.

Furthermore.

The great Tang Dynasty must have the bearing of a big country.

How can you bother to engage in those sneaky things.

[Supplement to yesterday's chapter]

Chapter 5 and One: Did all your kids fall into your house? (1/5)

Shining Jincheng.

After listening to Qin Mu's words.

Li Er couldn't help feeling that some people are born to do this.

They haven't even figured out how to make money.

Qin Mu has already started to make money from Hu Shang.

Followed by.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu and asked, "Then how many shops does your Mangya Trading Company keep in this Shuojin City?"

Three trade cities in western Xinjiang.

It was jointly prepared by the Ministry of Household Affairs and Mangya Commercial Bank.

An agreement was signed when the construction started. The Mangya Commercial Bank's capital contribution will not be repaid by the user department, and shops will be selected from the three cities to offset the debt.

Qin Mu smiled lightly and said, "Not many, the three streets we walked just now are all owned by Mangya Trading Company."

Not much, three streets?

Li Er: ...

Grandson Wuji:  …

The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Qin Mu, although I don't know much about business, I'm not stupid. This...these three streets are all main streets!"

"Did all your kids fall into your house?"

Li Er said, feeling a little distressed.

At that time, Dai Wei was left to handle all this matter, and he didn't ask too much.

Mangya Trading Company contributed money and efforts, and it should be able to get the land deeds for several streets.

But it's a bit too much to take.

"Second Master, I've always been unwilling to take advantage of others." Qin Mu looked at Li Er, and said calmly, "Second Master doesn't know how much Mangya Trading Co., Ltd. has invested in Xijiang. Uncle should have heard about it."

"If the second master is unwilling, then I will hand in the shop title deed, and the imperial court will return the money to Mangya Trading Company."

As soon as Li Er heard this, his face suddenly sank.

"Look at you kid, didn't I just talk casually?" Li Er looked at Qin Mu resentfully.

Changsun Wuji echoed from the side: "Second Lord, the construction of the three cities in Xijiang is due to Mangya Trading Company's contribution."

"Mu'er has put all his heart and soul into this matter. There are only three commercial streets, and it's not too much."

Li Er listened to Changsun Wuji's words and nodded.

He has dealt with Qin Mu for a long time.

The number of times he was cheated by Qin Mu was even more.

Judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

Besides, the household department was already empty, if Qin Mu took over, it would be inevitable that the lion would open his mouth.

"I'm just asking casually." Li Er calmed down, and continued: "Qin Mu, how much money do these shops sell for you?"

"I don't mean anything else, it's all about understanding business."

"Not for sale." Qin Mu replied lightly, "These shops are only rented out, not for sale. Now that the three cities in Western Xinjiang have not yet started formal development, even if they are sold, they won't make much money."

"It's better to rent it out for long-term income. The money will be stable."

Hearing this, Li Er frowned, "Let it out? You really have it."

As he spoke, he secretly planned in his heart.

In Shuojin City alone, Qin Mu has three main streets and hundreds of shops.

In the other two cities, he must have quite a few shops.

From this point of view, Qin Mu can earn a lot of money every year just by collecting rent.

What the hell is too calculating.

Seeing Qin Mu making money made Li Er's teeth itch with anger.

Followed by.

Li Er looked at his eldest grandson Wuji, and hurriedly said: "Auxiliary machine, where are the remaining shops in the household department? We have to learn from this brat, so we dare not sell them."

Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, "Second Lord, can we compare with Mangya Trading Company? The Ministry of Households didn't have much money in the first place, and the construction of the three cities in Xijiang also invested a lot."

"If the Ministry of Households does not sell shops, there will be no income. Just waiting for the tax in two years will not be able to support the expenditure of the Ministry of Households."

"The sales of the shops in the three cities of Xijiang are originally included in the calculation of the income of the Ministry of Households, so they must be sold."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er felt distressed.

"Ah! Are they all sold?"

"Oh, the money is useless. If you are like this stinky boy, the household department can relieve a lot of pressure just by collecting rent in Xijiang every year."

Wu Jue stood aside.

Listening to the conversation between Qin Mu and Li Er, his expression was bewildered.

From ancient times to the present, the most discussed topics between emperors and ministers should be government affairs, diplomacy, agriculture, military...

This business probably started from Li Er's generation.

She knows Datang's open business policy for the past two years.

Li Er attaches great importance to business development.

But Wu Jue didn't expect that Li Er would pay so much attention to it.

"Second Lord, don't worry." Changsun Wuji quickly comforted him, "Mu'er has already reminded Dai Shangshu about this matter. After calculation, the household department will sell some of the shops to ease the financial pressure on the household department."

"The remaining shops in good locations are not sold by the household department, and they are all leased to other shops."

I heard this.

Li Er felt much more comfortable, "Hehe, that's good, that's good."

Subsequently.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu, and said quietly, "You have a conscience, kid."

Behind a few people.

Wu Jue grabbed the corner of Cheng Yaojin's clothes, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, have the second master and the son-in-law always been so 'friendly'?"

After listening to the conversation between the two for a long time, Wu Jue was still a little confused.

She is not confused by the content of their conversation.

Instead, he was confused about the relationship between Qin Mu and Li Er.

Is this the Tang emperor Li Er who raised troops in Jinyang and looked down on the world?

"Hey, what is this?" Cheng Yaojin explained to Wu Jue at the side: "Second Lord and Prince Consort, the two fell in love and killed each other."

"Don't look at the second master who is so majestic on weekdays, that is without the presence of the son-in-law."

"If the son-in-law is present, he will definitely not let the second master show off his prestige unscrupulously."

Wu Jue shook his head in confusion, "The son-in-law talks to the second master like this, so the second master won't punish him?"

"Punishment? It doesn't exist." Cheng Yaojin said in a low voice: "Every time, it was the second master who made trouble for no reason. You see, this Nuoda territory was laid down by the son-in-law, and the three cities in Xijiang were also planned by the son-in-law. of."

"The most important thing is that the son-in-law has no intention of officialdom, let alone greedy for power, and never wins over court officials."

"Second master is not stupid, where can I find such a good son-in-law?"

Wu Jue listened and nodded involuntarily.

He admired Qin Mu even more in his heart.

Only in this way can he be regarded as an indomitable man.
