Shu said so much that I laughed: "Okay, okay, Madam Sui, why did you do the assembly? You are so idle. By the way, when you go back, you will bring this mineral map of Weinan County to Your Majesty for me and give your father a big surprise."

"What a surprise? What else can I do here besides coal and marble and hot springs... Oh my god, Junlang, aren't you kidding?" Li Shu's eyes widened and he stared at the drawing I handed her. Green Butterfly also approached and couldn't help but take a breath.

Li Shu's eyes turned into the appearance of a golden ingot. Although the current gold ingots in the Tang Dynasty do not have this shape, I think the shape of a golden ingot is probably cast for the original form based on my wife's eyes. "Gold..." Li Shu's little mouth was half open, and his eyes were wide open, indicating that he was too greedy. Well, the first gold-worshiping woman in the Tang Dynasty was my wife.

The green butterfly on the side performed slightly better, and soon recovered from surprise and looked up at me. "Junlang, this is really good news. With the gold mine in Weinan, does that mean that the taxes in Weinan County can be increased?"

I shook my head: "This has little to do with the taxes in Weinan County. After all, such precious minerals belong to the country, so the benefits are in the country, not in Weinan. Otherwise, how could you be so calm for your husband?"

Green Die flattened her mouth: "That's useless." Li Shu smiled and put away the mineral map and said with a smile: "You can't say that. After all, it was our husband who discovered the gold mine in the office. No matter how much this contribution, it will have to fall on our husband, right? Junlang, tell me, this is a honeycomb coal land business. When will we start doing it?"

"This matter, well. I thought about it for my husband and wait first. Over the past period of time, the merchants in Weinan have been paying attention to it, but no one has paid attention to it. Since the profits of honeycomb coal land will be quickly divided. Since this is the case, I have an idea for my husband and we will not eat alone. We will directly bring everyone together to make a fortune, and let them trust me more." I touched my chin and put forward new suggestions.

"How can I get caught?" Li Shu became interested when he heard what I said. "You know, after coming to Weinan, you need to reform taxes. First of all, it is to collect taxes based on land or property, right? This method of taxation is so happy that the common people are too late, but there are some people, haha, they can't sit still." I narrowed my eyes and sipped a small wine and said proudly.

"What can I do if I can't sit still?" Li Shu said this with a very arrogant expression. Well, I like it, arrogant. The most important thing is that His Highness, Princess Lamb, has the capital to be arrogant, one of the most beloved princesses of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to provoke it? Even if you don't provoke it, if His Highness, one day, is unlucky, it must be yours.

"Don't be anxious, listen to my husband's words. This move has made them feel very unbalanced. After all, the money is less than usual, and there will inevitably be complaints in their hearts. For husbands, they must not be able to move and do their husbands. However, they cannot think that husbands are people who hate the rich, so for husbands, they will give them some ways to make money. Although the tax is paid more than before, the money they earn must be more than they used to earn." I raised my head very suffocatedly and smiled while chewing the jerky.

The nearest raw coal production area to Chang'an is in Weinan. Almost all the coal used in Chang'an is sold here. If the honeycomb coal can be integrated, not to mention anything else, as long as one-tenth of the millions of people in Chang'an City use our honeycomb coal, an average of three or five per day is used. This is not a small amount of money.

No one uses coal surface at all. At least in the past few years, the mining coal surface has been piled up into coal mountains in the mining area, but it can't be sold. After all, everyone only uses coal blocks, and the coal surface is at most used when it is covered with fire, so the amount of consumption is really negligible.

What's more, people from other coal mines want to come to Chang'an to do this business, so they can't compete with Weinan. The most important thing is the freight. After all, Weinan is too close to Chang'an, and a four-wheeled carriage can only take more than an hour to go back and forth. Such convenient transportation, such cheap raw materials, and yellow mud, think about it, this money is definitely a hot money, making people's eyes hot.

After listening to my analysis, Li Shu immediately made a decision: "Sure, listen to Junlang, making money is important, but it can make money and make Junlang you win people's hearts. It can be more convenient to do things in the future. This method is the best." After hearing Li Shu's words, I couldn't help but be happy. I am worthy of being my own divine wife. I understand me and support me. Well, it is necessary to give a piece to the lamb girl.

De's certificate is rewarded here. Since he did not carry the certificate, the princess, who kissed him, was red in her cheeks and was very coquettish.

Three days later, all the merchants in Weinan County who submitted a visit to me finally received an invitation from me, the fourth-rank county magistrate of Weinan, and invited these people to go to the Weinan County Government to discuss important matters. Sure enough, in the afternoon of that day, there were more than ten local merchants and landlords from Weinan County in the back hall of Weinan County. These people either had local industries in Weinan County or had business in Chang'an. In short, these people also had a lot of wealth. After all, since the Han Dynasty, they have been clamoring to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and many people were unwilling to join businessmen. There were not many people doing business. In addition, Weinan itself is close to Chang'an and has convenient transportation. It is said that they sell goods from Chang'an to Weinan. Therefore, although there are not many merchants in Weinan, they are not few. As for these landlords, they can be regarded as famous figures in Weinan County.

A dozen Weinan merchants and landlords with belly erect but looked uneasy, sat on both sides. In addition, Cui Ren and Wang Fangyi sat on the left as accompanying staff. This young master glanced at the people and could see from the expressions of these people that after the announcement of the new tax, the original thirty tax ones changed from thirty tax ones to 10 tax ones. This really made these merchants feel headache. Most of the merchants could run to Chang'an or other places to go to business. The people who stayed behind were either people with strong local concepts and difficult to leave their hometowns, or their industries were concentrated in Weinan, and they could run monks or temples.

So they must be very guilty. I have already found out about the matter here. The former county magistrate of Weinan reported the thirty tax one, but he drew twenty tax one, which left a little more profit for the people in front of him. Of course, this does not include other taxes. The miscellaneous fees in the Tang Dynasty are not high, but it is not lacking. The most important thing is to see how the officials below do it and how bad their hearts are.

"Everyone, I am Fang Jun, the new county magistrate of Weinan County. I have had a lot of work in the past few days and have too busy to say hello to you. I am really sorry. I hope all the Weinan elders understand. Today, I invite you here. First, I will meet you and in the future, I will also give advice on the development of Weinan. Second, I am treating you to a simple meal." I cleared my throat and said loudly.

"I am visiting the great master. My name is like thunder. I am a great master. I am both civil and military, defeating iron le and attacking Goguryeo. The world knows the achievements of building academies. I do not care about the superiority, lowness, and coldness. I am willing to enter the school. I also use my talent to move the world with my reputation... Today I can see the great master's style, which is really comforting my whole life. However, I have something unknown, so I would like to ask for advice." A rich old man stood up and gave me a long salute. He trembled and flattered me, and then he expressed his thoughts.

"Please sit down, please say something straight." I raised my hand and signaled Mr. Du Lun to sit down and speak slowly.

"Sir, a few days ago, you issued an announcement that all the vendors in Weinan County are taxed ten or one. We are a little puzzled. In fact, Weinan is neither a prosperous city like Chang'an, nor a place where merchants gather, nor a wealthy place. Why should this tax be collected at the highest level? This seems to be somewhat in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty? I am so dull, please tell me about it in detail, so that it can be solved by the confusion of the merchants in Weinan." Du Lun seems to be a mature guy, but it is also a businessman. If he is not smart, how can he do it? I am afraid that the capital will be lost long ago and he can't even leave a piece of the crotch cloth. Looking at these in front of him, wearing silk and silk belts, he is at least a wealthy family.
