Chapter 393 The budget-conscious father-in-law sees me fooling around to make money
Li Jiancheng shook his head and explained: "Second brother, I'm afraid you are wrong. How could this kid not think that there will definitely be different performances in turn in the future, so everyone basically wants to watch them every day."

"Hahahaha, my father-in-law knows me! Look at this good show of selling abductees. It is divided into three parts. Today is only the first part, and the second part will appear tomorrow. Who do you think will miss it?" Bai Fan beamed with joy. road.

Li Jiancheng nodded and sighed: "So, pay the tax! How much are you going to pay?"

Bai Fan's smile froze and he froze. Did he get carried away? Forgot that there is an old fox who plays economics here. His father-in-law Li Jiancheng has been in charge of Datang's economy for many years, and he has also won many books on political economy in the academy. It is impossible not to Know the way here.

"Well, father-in-law, it's not easy for my son-in-law to earn a small amount of money, but I pay taxes legally according to the laws of the country. I will never lose a penny, and I will never default on it!" Bai Fan patted his chest and promised.

Li Er said with a smile: "Brother, I'm worrying too much. Although this kid is greedy for money, as he said, his business is a model of tax payment in the Tang Dynasty, and he will never pay less."

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Second brother, you don't understand!

Boy, this is for your own good. Tell me, how much do you want to pay? "

Bai Fan is speechless, this is sure to eat me, at this moment I really want to slap myself, what's the matter?Such an important commercial secret to talk to the Minister of Finance of the imperial court?Don't you go to the toilet and carry a lantern?I'm looking for death.

"Thirty percent, thirty percent of the net profit!" Bai Fan gritted his teeth.

"Seventy percent!" Li Jiancheng stared at Bai Fan and said in a deep voice.

Bai Fan was about to jump up anxiously at that time, "Father-in-law, you are robbing, okay? Do you know how much [-]% is? I have worked so hard to build this place, and how much manpower and material resources have been used. Such a whole thing is not the court. Already? It’s equivalent to being confiscated, okay?”

"Then it will all belong to the public, and the court will run it!" Li Jiancheng clapped his hands in agreement.

I was also thinking in my heart, does this kid really not know or fake?Having too much money is not a good thing. It was said that you are the richest in the world, but you also have many ways to spend money. No one cares. Now that you have swept away Chang'an's wealth, can the court tolerate you?

"No, no, why take it away? Besides, this entertainment city, other than me, the imperial court can't play it!" Bai Fan retorted.

Li Er understood half of what he heard, and asked, "Brother, is it too strict? How much money does this thing make a year? Do you want [-]% of it?"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Bai Fan with a smile, the meaning was obvious, he was asking, you say or me?

Looking at his father-in-law's eyes, Bai Fan was helplessly defeated, and explained bravely: "Just talking about this theater, I have roughly calculated that it will not be full in the future, so the income fluctuates, and the average daily income is one thousand guan. That's 36 per year!"

"There are so many?" Li Er was stunned.

Li Jiancheng secretly scolded Bai Fan for being cunning, and explained: "It's just a lot, second brother, let him talk, the one who is surprised is still behind!"

"The entire entertainment city takes care of eating, drinking and having fun. The original intention of our establishment is to provide Chang'an people with a place to spend their money. Otherwise, if everyone has money in their hands, there is nowhere to spend it, and troubles will easily arise after a long time.

Datang is extremely short of entertainment items, and the entertainment city is the only good place at present, so basically the people who have settled in Chang'an will spend their spare money here.

The overall income here is not calculated by the minister, but it is roughly estimated that it accounts for [-]% of the remaining money in the hands of the people of Chang'an. The specific figure..."

Seeing that Bai Fan was hesitating and unable to speak, Li Jiancheng continued: "At least ten million guan in a year! The richer Tang is, the bigger the number will be!"

"What?" Li Er dropped the wine glass in front of him in surprise.

"What are you panicking about? Don't you think it's embarrassing? Isn't it just two small money? Don't disturb me watching the show, if you don't watch the show, go home!" Li Yuan cursed angrily.

Hearing the movement, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay in the distance, wondering why the emperor had offended the Supreme Emperor.

Li Er cried out sadly in his heart, his father said that he is rich and now he is rich, is that small money?Be sure!

In the ninth year of Wude, how much effort did it take to make up the 30 military expenditures for the Turks in the Northern War?At this time, Li Er was still able to recall.

When the wool business was first established, how much was the annual income?I remember that it was Datang’s first prosperous year, and it relied on the profit of 200 million yuan from wool at that time. Of course, the wool business has grown bigger and stronger now, and it also earns tens of millions of dollars a year, but Datang basically relies on this to supply everywhere. What about expenses?
Now Li Jiancheng told himself that just one entertainment city, with one year's income, is worth a wool business in the country. What is this concept?
At this time, he turned his head to look at Bai Fan again, Li Er's eyes were not calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Boy, the entertainment city should be nationalized!"

Bai Fan also shook his head resolutely, "I said it, it's not that I'm greedy for money and won't let it go, it's that no one in the court can play well except me."

"The old way, the possession right belongs to the imperial court, you have the right to operate, and you get [-]% of the profits!"

"Your Majesty, you are more stingy than my stingy father-in-law, and he gave me [-]% back!" Bai Fan was speechless.

"He is your father-in-law, so that [-]% is a personal relationship! You are already rich, and [-]% is enough for your Bai family to eat and drink for generations. Why do you want so much money?" Li Er pretended to be angry.

Helpless, it seems that it is impossible not to bleed today, but the interests that should be contested still have to be contested, and it is time to use the power of one's own words.

Sitting upright, Bai Fan's demeanor changed, and he said solemnly: "The boy is not greedy for money, my family doesn't even have a servant girl, I still wear ordinary scholar's robes, and people still laugh at me as the least noble."

Li Er and Li Jiancheng nodded, this matter is true, everyone knows that this kid is usually quite simple.

"To make money in the entertainment city, I plan to do a few big things, no matter which one is the big spender, first, national education, I plan to work with the Imperial College and other adults to spend a lot of money to open government-run academies throughout the Tang Dynasty within five years. Even if this cost is saved, it is a bottomless pit, with an investment of at least 200 million per year."

"This is a good thing. I support it. The court can come forward!" Li Er interrupted.

"Imperial court? After my Bai Fan's hand to do things, the money spent in the hands of the common people is basically not less than a penny, but through the hands of civil and military officials, hehe, no matter how clean and frugal they are, they can do it layer by layer. The four achievements are not bad, then His Majesty should praise the cleanliness of the officials." Bai Fan mocked.

Li Jiancheng has a bad face. After all, he is the boss of the Ministry of Finance. When it comes to corruption of ink, isn't it all under his own hands?
But Li Er did not refute. They have heard about the style of officials at all levels. After all, it has been like this in all dynasties. What can we do?

"Secondly, Zhongnan Academy is expanding its enrollment. This time, it is accepting [-] students. In the future, it will accept [-] or even [-]. In order to ensure that every student in the academy does not have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the academy's logistics will take care of everything, but the academy is not profitable and does not charge fees. , the admission of students only depends on their qualifications. After entering the academy, they are our children, and all expenses are paid by the academy.

This is also a bottomless pit, each child has at least ten to a hundred per year, plus the construction of the academy, and the establishment of branches of the academy in various places in the future, etc., it is also a bottomless pit, how much do you think it will cost?The imperial court could not accept this job. "

For these two items alone, Li Er was left speechless. It could be seen that Bai Fan had a fair heart and what he said was true.
