My name is Ren

Chapter 310 Greed and stupidity are twins, when there is greed, there will be stupidity, and stupidity is because of greed
Peel off Yelvina's coat, the coat of what she said, the inside is very in line with the code of conduct of the nobles.

Rebuilding Xiliu City is a job with huge benefits. Every brick, every piece of wood, and every peasant represents a huge amount of benefits.Ren suddenly woke up, which is definitely a good thing.The establishment of the Labor Party is imminent, and the heads of those people in Andorra can indeed be a gift for the founding of the Labor Party and soothe the extreme emotions of the working class, but this is far from being a job.The entire empire faces a very complex work environment.

Those who are capable are fed to death, while those who are incapable can only beg. The polarization is extremely serious.In this society where education is far from universal, learning a craft means being able to have enough food in the future.But more people do not have this opportunity to learn a craft, and life naturally becomes a burden.The intermittent work makes these people a factor of social instability, and the vagrants tend to be born into extremists in this barbaric society.

Now, Rennes can provide a job for several years to the unemployed and workers in Bell Province to stabilize their lives and let them see the power of the Labor Party.

After figuring out this joint, Ren was very concerned about Yelvina's proposed exchange of interests, and he nodded with a smile, "The reconstruction of Xiliu City will be the top priority in the government affairs of Bell Province. , I will write a personal letter to Governor Joberg, and I will take the initiative to prioritize your needs in terms of policies and materials. Do you and your family have any complete plans?"

Yelvina took out a written plan from nowhere and unfolded it. She stood up naturally and sat beside Ren.The distance between the two was so close that Ren could even smell the faint scent of Yelvina's body, which was like countless silk threads, entwining him one by one.

"Look here..." She stretched out a translucent white finger and pointed at the plan that lay on Ren's lap, her pink lips slightly parted, "You look here."

Ren's heart skipped a beat. The woman seemed to have other meanings every time she gave her pointers. He raised his brows, suppressed some impulse in his heart, and looked down.Eyes suddenly dizzy for a while, followed by a sketch of the city, "We plan to spend 15 gold coins to build a city wall about [-] kilometers long and [-] meters high. According to reports from some of the family's advance surveyors, Xiliu Part of the city wall can still be used after repairs, so the construction of the overall city wall did not take as long as expected."

There was no clue on Yelvina's calm face. Her fingers drew circles on the plan, and the plan trembled accordingly.She pursed her lips, pointed to the middle of the city, and nodded, "We plan to flatten the original lord's mansion, introduce the branch of the Xiudorn River into the city, and build waterways extending in all directions to avoid the disasters that this city has experienced. .”

"It costs a lot of money!" Ren said absent-mindedly, and he quickly came to his senses, facing such an indescribable working state with his quality, at least he could keep his heart.Once he was put into work, some personal sensory stimulation was weakened a lot. He pondered for a moment, "Waterways need more laborers and workers than ordinary roads, and also need more stone materials. According to the markings on this drawing These waterways, just to build these urban waterways and drainage systems need at least 30 gold coins."

Yelvina smiled coquettishly, "You are very correct. Not only that, we also plan to build two wharves to separate passenger and cargo ships, and build a huge cargo wharf and warehouse group. This is enough to attract more Many merchants transport goods by water, and divert them in Xiliu City. In our plan, Xiliu City will become the material gathering and dispersing center for the entire Bell Province."

The ambition is not small. If all the goods of a province go from the new Xiliu City, it will not take long for Xiliu City to restore its previous prosperity, and even surpass its previous prosperity.And Xiliu City will also become the trade center of Bell Province. Whether it is goods coming or going, they will choose Xiliu City, which is convenient and has developed transportation.Yelvina's family must have spent a lot of capital and promised many benefits in order to obtain this fief, otherwise it would not be their turn to take this land of wealth.

Isn't that right? Isn't this woman in front of you one of the "benefits" they sent to bribe Rennes?
Politics has always been inextricably linked with war, wealth and sex.

"It's a bit hot..." Yelvina stretched out her hand to fan herself, "The whole reconstruction plan needs at least 300 million to 400 million gold coins, which is an extremely large sum. It's hard to get them all out, so I have another small request when I come here today." As she spoke, she almost leaned on Ren's body, and the fragrance from her mouth rushed to her face, stirring Ren's hair Silk.

Ren squinted at her, "What request?"

"The Privy Council has given us 20 years of full taxation power to help rebuild Xiliu City. We need about 100 million gold coins to complete the entire construction. I wonder if you are interested in this? We can come up with a ladder In exchange for your support." Yelvina also became serious at this time, "70.00% tax in the first five years, 50.00% tax in five to ten years, and 20% tax in ten to 20.00 years 20% five tax. If your share is less than 100 million gold coins within 100 years, we will make up 80 million gold coins and pay you another [-] gold coins as compensation."

After finishing speaking, her eyes showed uneasiness. An income of 20 gold coins in 80 years and [-] gold coins a year is really nothing to nobles.But the difficulty in this matter is that it takes a large amount of funds in a short period of time. The rate of return is low, but the payment is not low. Many people are unwilling to invest such capital and energy in such an uneconomical thing. .Before coming here, Yelvina and her clan had already contacted many great nobles, but none of these great nobles had much interest in it.

With 100 million gold coins as the capital and the privileges of the nobles, it is entirely possible to get an annual income of about 20 to 80.00.Compared with the [-]-year investment return of only [-]%, it is indeed a very failed investment.

The reason why Yelvina finally chose to come here for a try was because Ren was the uncrowned king of Bell Province. He might have special feelings for this province, so maybe he was willing to invest?
It may be a trivial matter for others, but for Yelvina and her family, it is a big matter that can affect the strength of the family for the next 50 years, so they can't help but not take it seriously.

Ren pushed Yelvina away a little rudely, stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, his mind was spinning, and his brain was boiling.The investment and expected return are indeed unsatisfactory, but his vision is different from other people's vision.In the province of Bell, the governor is just a puppet on the surface. Joberg has already knelt and licked Rennes, and Rennes' words are more authoritative in the province of Bell than the words of Queen Pars.

Others can't do anything through political interference, but Ren can. He can force Xiliu City to be reborn in a very short period of time, and restore its former glory to the point of surpassing its former peak.

Think about it, as long as all merchants and caravans are ordered to complete the handover in Xiliu City, and heavy taxes are imposed on the western border, no matter whether they are merchants or ordinary people, they will choose Xiliu City as a "special zone".Once the power of the special zone is revealed, the prospect Yelvina described will be realized immediately!The annual trade volume of the entire Bell Province is about 500 million gold coins. Calculated according to the trade tax of 100% of the empire, there will be [-] million gold coins in tax revenue every year.

Of course, this is an idealized calculation. In fact, the commercial tax is about one out of ten, but this is still 50 million gold coins a year... .

Yelvina was half leaning on the sofa at this time, still maintaining the aggrieved appearance when she was pushed away by Ren. Her heartbeat was heavy and fast, and she was almost unable to breathe due to the depression.

When Ren's footsteps stopped and she heard it, she was almost unable to support her body, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat at this moment.She was covered in fine beads of sweat, and a layer of oily sweat was secreting from her palms. She looked at Ren nervously, waiting for the final judgment.

"50.00% per year, unchanged for 20 years." This is Ren's condition. The income in the first two years must be zero, but after two years, the tax right of 50.00% per year can at least bring him close to 20 gold coins, after 20 years, is close to 400 million income, he has no reason not to do this business.

Seeing Yelvina's fleeting hesitation and firm nod, Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
