Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 39: Wind Rising in Northeast Jiangxi

Whether it was intentional or not, Xia Lin definitely did it on purpose, but he couldn't say that he did it on purpose. He just wanted to appreciate the transformation of Miss Tang's porcelain doll. His mentality was the same as that of an old man polishing a cliff cypress. He liked to watch the moment when the cliff cypress changed color due to polishing, and he felt particularly satisfied.

But he certainly couldn't say that. He patted the box and said with a smile, "This is a new product that I made with the craftsmen. Look at its color and the painting on it. Look carefully. What's the difference?"

Look carefully? How can I look carefully? Your paintings are so detailed, how can a girl look carefully? How can she bear to look at them?

Wait? Every detail is revealed! ?

Miss Tang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked carefully. She saw that the lines on the picture were clear and raised. The flowers, birds, fish and insects on it were dotted with gold threads and gold particles. It was full of granularity and had a group of bumps and bumps that were very delightful.

And this gold thread has merged with the porcelain, the painting contains gold, and the gold contains the shameful painting...

It is so exquisite that it can only be described as exquisite. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a tribute to the emperor.

"This... this is too delicate."

"This set of eighty pieces will be the key to your Tang family tea's rapid rise to fame."

Miss Tang was obviously stunned when she heard Xia Lin's words. Isn't it soaring now? The profit in just over a month has reached the annual profit of the Tang family's entire business, and it is the net profit compared with the gross profit. How can it not soar? How else can it soar?
"A tribute."

Seeing the confusion in Miss Tang's eyes, Xia Lin reached out and tapped the box gently: "Send a set to the emperor."

"Your Majesty? How can our tea be worthy of Your Majesty's liking?"

"Haha, you don't understand one thing." Xia Lin knocked on the box again: "What kind of good tea can His Majesty drink? You should know that there are three things in the world that are not normal. One is Qingxu vinegar, the second is Qinghua Village wine, and the third is Huizhou tea. These three things are different due to weather, temperature, craftsmanship and even which tube they are packaged in. If you were the manager of the inner court, would you choose a slightly inferior tea for His Majesty to drink or give His Majesty the top-quality tea so that His Majesty would make a mistake and get beheaded?"

At this point, Miss Tang suddenly understood. She put the teacup in her hand on the table and said, "I see! Then where did the tribute tea go every year?"

"It's hard to say. I can't and dare not say." Xia Lin laughed: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about this matter. When the time comes, you just need to present this thing, and the matter will be over. Next, it will be your turn for the Tang family to soar to the sky."

Miss Tang's eyes are full of water, not secretly flirting, she is born with watery eyes, even when chatting normally, she is shy and angry. It is said that the south of the Yangtze River produces beautiful women, in fact, the Luoshan area is no worse, the Luoshen Fu that year seemed to be written for Miss Tang, tender and graceful, charming in language. Strange clothes are unique, and the bones are in the picture. Wearing a dazzling silk robe, wearing a jade pendant.

Oh my...it's really beautiful.

Of course this may be because of the white moonlight filter, but it really doesn't matter. She deserves such praise. Don't say that a man should have ambitions. That's because he hasn't met the person who is on the apple of his eye. King Zhou met Daji and King You met Bao Si. It's just as crisp as it is crisp. No matter what emperors and generals are, as solid as a rock, they can still be ground into a needle.

Xia Lin leaned back in his chair and admired Miss Tang's thoughtful look. He watched for a long time until Miss Tang came to her senses first. "By the way, can the workshop's output be increased?"

"No." Xia Lin rejected her without hesitation: "Not only that, after this crazy period, we will have to reduce production, and in the future, only kits will be produced for mid-range products. In the future, various stories will be painted on porcelain, but there will always be one missing door in all the stories."

"Hmm? Missing a subject?"

"Yes, one is missing. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we are always missing the chapter "Autumn Wind at Wuzhangyuan". For example, in Laozi's Journey to the West, we are always missing the chapter "Going West through Hangu Pass."

"Won't they be anxious to death?"

"Hurry, let them be anxious, the more anxious the better, the more anxious the better. Then from time to time we have to release a set and let one of them complete the full set. Guess what happens then... hehe."

Xia Lin's words cheered up Miss Tang: "You are... so cunning."

"Alas, there is no business without fraud. They are motivated only when they are driven, and they are willing to spend money only when they are motivated. But you must manage your people well. I have sold this product to you, but if your people steal from you, then..."

Xia Lin's tone was drawn out, and Miss Tang immediately understood what he meant. She nodded heavily and said, "I will supervise it personally."

Yes! I supervise it myself!

This is exactly the effect Xia Lin wanted. Personal supervision means that she must be here. Only when she is around can there be a chance. If she really runs away, she might be seduced away by some prince or general. Wouldn't Xia Lin lose more than he gains?

Therefore, the best solution is to keep the people here. Tang Wanqiu is really smart, really smart, hahahahaha…

"It seems that I can't get away for a while." Tang Wanqiu looked at Xia Lin with a smile: "It seems that it's time to open a Tang family store here."

"Okay, I'll give you a piece of land."

Xia Lin was particular about getting things done quickly. In the morning, he said he would approve a piece of land for Tang Wanqiu, and in the afternoon, he had already made a planning plan. It was right next to the workshop, about a hundred meters away. He planned a 500-meter-wide area for Tang Wanqiu. "Too big, too big."

"Not big." Xia Lin pointed at the map and said, "Miss Tang, do you know where your Dragon's Rise should be?"

Tang Wanqiu's eyes widened and she covered Xia Lin's mouth with her hands: "You...you want to kill me?"

“Fuck fuck fuck…” Xia Lin slapped himself. “I got infected by Lao Zhang. Sorry, sorry.”

Seeing that he realized it, Tang Wanqiu rolled her eyes and let go of her hand. Although Xia Lin was talking nonsense this time, he felt the softness and sweet fragrance of Miss Tang's palm for the first time. It was so good... so fragrant~
However, business still needed to be discussed. He coughed to dispel the embarrassment. "This area is actually more suitable for the development of your Tang family than Luoyang. Look at the location of this place. It is located in the middle of four places: Huizhou, Raozhou, Shezhou, and Hongzhou. There are tea-producing areas above and grain-producing areas below. On the left is Poyang Lake and on the right is Suzhou and Hangzhou. With Miss Tang's vision, it should not be difficult to see what kind of Feng Shui treasure this is, right? I'll tell you this, Miss Tang, within three years, this place will be upgraded from a township to a county."

Tang Wanqiu studied the map carefully and nodded in understanding: "It is indeed good, but this tiny place... can it become a county?"

"Not only will it become a county, but it will also become the highest-standard county in the world!"

Xia Lin was not talking nonsense. Fuliang County was a fifth-rank county. Counties in the capital were only sixth or seventh ranks. A fifth-rank county was half a level higher than a third-rank prefecture. The county magistrate was a fifth-rank county, and the prefect was a fifth-rank county. It was definitely the best county in the world.

But now this place is still a deserted place, so what he said was a bit exaggerated. Even Miss Tang covered her face and laughed, but Xia Lin was not angry. The more they were like this, the better. When they were surprised, they would know what it meant to underestimate them back then.

But in the end, the area within a radius of 500 meters was finally assigned to Miss Tang. Miss Tang was also a practical person. She immediately mobilized people to start construction. Her wallet is now as bulging as her chest. Everything can be done easily with money. Originally, those people who were building the houses were kept aside and idle, but now they have work again. Everyone is happy.

After two days, Miss Tang came to Xia Lin and held a picture drawn by a craftsman in her hand: "Daosheng, tell me what name we should give this place."

"Fighting for wealth."

"Huh? Why?"

Why? Of course, this place should be called this name, but Xia Lin couldn't just say that this name was given by his charming ancestor a long time ago. After all, he is now the charming ancestor, so it is necessary for him to say it out loud.

"Because you are rich, by then there will be more than just your family here, you can build shops and houses here, and wait for the value to appreciate. When outsiders come to do business, this place will be full of bosses, and everyone will be rich. Then it makes sense to name it "Dou Fu"."

"Okay." Miss Tang obviously liked this name very much: "Then let's call it Dou Fu Nong."

The intensive construction continued until the end of the year. At the end of the year, Xia Lin paid the first tax since Xinping Township separated from Poyang County. The tax list was brought to the desk of Guo Zhoumu, who was also doing the routine calculations.

In previous years, the tax revenue of a county was about 3,000 to 5,000 taels. After all, Jiangnan is a rich place. If the whole area is added up, the revenue can be 100,000 to 150,000 taels. Looking at the whole country, this is also among the highest...

“Ah???” When Guo Zhoumu saw the tax payment of Xinping Township, he turned into a big shrimp in his seat and his whole body hunched down.

"Ah? Two hundred and seventy thousand???"

"Bao Heng! Come here and die!"

Guo Zhoumu slapped the table loudly: "Hurry up!"

After a while, the tax collector from the prefecture came in fear and trepidation. He bowed to Governor Guo, but was interrupted before he could say anything. Governor Guo angrily shouted, "One township, 270,000 in taxes. How did you calculate this muddled account? Speak! If you don't understand, I'll put you in jail!"

The tax officer Bao Heng walked forward and took a closer look at the account, then took out his own account list and compared it. His eyes immediately became clear and his voice became much louder: "Sir, that's right. It's 270,000."

"How dare you lie! If this account is wrong, I won't be able to make up for it even with your life!"

"That is true, sir. Please take a look."

The tax officer handed over the list, and it was discovered that the main taxpayer was the Tang family's business. The tax of 35% of the profits was 220,000 yuan, and the remaining 50,000 yuan was the tax paid by the villages in Xinping Township.

"Ah???" Governor Guo's eyes almost popped out. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and glared at the tax officer fiercely: "What are you standing there for? Prepare the boat! Come with me to Xinping Township to investigate! Two hundred and seventy thousand. If I can't come up with this real money, the court will tear my head off."

"Sir... the money has been credited and is in the treasury."

"Ah?" Governor Guo scratched his head. "No, where do they get so much money? Where do they make it? Prepare the boats, prepare the boats. I must go and see for myself."
