Chapter 278 Little Zhengtai's Dream
"Yes, my considerations are indeed thoughtful. This will not only ensure the safety of merchants, but also allow the soldiers to earn more income."
Li Er was quite moved by Xiao Zhengtai's suggestion. He was still very happy to see such a win-win situation.
He could even imagine that once such a job was released, every team would be very willing to accept it.
No matter where the caravan is escorting, people who want to have bad intentions must carefully consider it.
Even if they go to a foreign country, they must think carefully about whether they can bear the price of provoking the Tang Dynasty.
"Lanzhou's business has just gotten on track, and its future development can only get better and better. The father also saw the goods traded by both parties.
If the transaction volume increases in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have any bad ideas, and tax evasion will inevitably happen."
Wealth is touching, and this is not just a saying. It has been common and inevitable to be corruption throughout history, which makes him worry.
He didn't want Xiao Zhengtai's efforts to be destroyed in the hands of those scums. With Xiao Zhengtai's ability, he would not be able to stay here for a long time.
"Don't worry, my father, my son has already thought of a solution. No matter where the merchants come from, they must hold a qualification certificate issued by the court. Once they break into the commercial market privately, the court has the right to confiscate his goods."
Xiao Zhengta thought about it for a long time before he felt that such a plan was feasible. Any goods that wanted to evade taxes must be extremely precious.
Although 10% of the tax is expensive, they can imagine what is more important than confiscation.
After Xiao Zhengtai said this, Li Er understood the truth and his expression eased a lot. Lanzhou's commercial development was just the beginning for the entire Tang Dynasty.
Once this commercial chain is widespread throughout the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will reach an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous era. Li Er is full of expectations for the arrival of that day.
"Zhinu, do everything as you say, and the father will fully support you."
No one has ever mentioned this to him before, and he has never thought of using this method to promote the economic development of the two countries.
Out of curiosity, Li Er returned to Cheng Yaojin's crystal shop here again and asked about the price of crystal jewelry.
When Li Er learned that the items that cost only a few cents in Chang'an were sold here for twenty taels of silver, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
This is a little too dark. Even if Changan is far away from here, it shouldn’t increase so much profit!
How can ordinary people afford such expensive things?
"Zhi Nu, my father has already left many shops, but the price difference is really a bit huge. Could it be that there is still something wrong with it in the past few years?"
Li Er's expression was a little bad. He did not object to these powerful people coming here to develop, but the current situation was not beneficial to the people of Lanzhou.
"Did you find out that the decoration level of each store is different? If all the goods in the store are sold at a low price, how can you earn the money from those Western Regions?
If the father and emperor observe carefully, you will find that there are several shops in the commercial street, and the merchants they target are not ordinary people at all.
In the eyes of those rich people, the quality of some goods is not the quality of the things themselves, but the price. They don’t want the best, but the most expensive. They like to show this spectrum and seek this face. Vanity is more important than anything."
These are all experiences that have been summarized by controlling people's hearts, and there is no skill at all.
Sometimes things are good things, but if they are cheap, they will not be recognized.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is right. This is like a perfume shop, sold in Chang'an, and the price is extremely expensive, and it is also in short supply.
The ladies in the powerful mansion want to rush to buy every day.”
Cheng Yaojin said softly that the perfume business has always made him jealous, although he guessed in his heart that this thing was created by Xiao Zhengtai.
But he has never had any evidence, and even if he wants to participate, he can't do it.
"Yes, perfume suddenly popped up and made a lot of profit."
Cheng Yaojin's words made Li Er's eyes slightly condense. What exactly should this person behind the scenes do? Such a wealth-making situation is definitely a hidden danger.
"Father, don't worry, this perfume is actually the property of the sons."
Seeing Li Er's expression, Xiao Zhengtai knew what he was thinking. He was not hiding it at the moment and said.
What?
Li Er widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhengta in disbelief.
After a while, I felt relieved. Who else could have created such a strange thing except Xiao Zhengtai?
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing aside, heard that Xiao Zhengtai finally admitted, and his breathing became rapid. If His Majesty took the initiative to speak and talk, he would definitely have to participate.
"The father doesn't know what to say, what are you doing with so much money?"
Li Er shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know how much money Xiao Zhengtai had in his hands now, but what he could be sure of was that this little guy was very rich.
"Without silver, it is really hard to do something in the Tang Dynasty. It is like rebuilding Lanzhou City. If it were not for the robbers' savings for many years, Erchen would not have been able to do this.
The Tang Dynasty was in a state of rapid development at this time, and there were places where money was used everywhere. The son minister had to prepare. The son minister had a dream, can the father know?”
For Xiao Zhengtai, money actually has no idea. As long as he wants and studies anything, he can make a fortune.
"Speak!"
Li Er believed in Xiao Zhengtai's words. Over the years, he has been developing conservatively because of his poverty.
Even though Xiao Zhengtai made a lot of suggestions, which filled the treasury a lot, he still did not dare to act rashly.
If the entire Tang Dynasty develops, the amount of money required will be an astronomical figure. Li Er has never dared to think about such an idea.
But Xiao Zhengta thought of it and launched his actions. He was really curious about what Xiao Zhengta's dream was.
"Anywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers go, are my Tang Dynasty territory. As long as it is the people of my Tang Dynasty, my sons do not want to see a poor person, and everyone can have a family happiness. This is my sons' dream."
Xiao Zhengta's expression was very calm, but his tone was extremely firm. Since he came to this world, he had to achieve all this in his own way.
Hearing such a dream, Li Er took a breath. This is a scene that every emperor is looking forward to, but over the years, no emperor has done it.
While feeling relieved, Li Er was also quite worried that having such a dream was a good thing, which was enough to prove that if Xiao Zhengtai took over his position in the future, he would definitely be a good emperor.
However, manpower is sometimes poor, and it is too difficult to achieve this step.
