"Brother Zhou, if you think about it, you also know that the basis of all commercial exchanges is convenient transportation and convenient roads."

"So, the first point of revitalizing Danyang is to build roads!"

……

Knocking on the table hard, Zhang Yan vowed.

……

"I plan to build a spacious road that can drive six horse-drawn carriages at the same time, starting from Lujiang Wancheng, and link Wancheng and Wanling."

"In the respective counties, with the government office as the center, a second-level road that can support four horse-drawn carriages is built to run through the counties in the county, so as to ensure that any commodity can be circulated at the lowest cost. And use this method to promote the internal trade between Lujiang and Danyang!"

"To show my sincerity, I am willing to take the initiative to cancel all customs and road taxes in Lujiang, so as to reduce the business costs of Danyang merchants."

"I also hope that Brother Zhou can focus on the overall situation, dismantle the road tax for our merchants in Lujiang, and unify the tax collection methods of the two counties so that merchants can carry out cost accounting."

"I don't know what you want, brother?"

……

PS: Chapter 2!

Chapter 24 The choice is yours?

Some impassioned speeches revealed that Zhang Yan's mouth was full of doctrine, but his heart was full of business.

The construction of the provincial road between Lujiang and Danyang is something he has already prepared for. Before that, he produced cement and other construction materials in Lujiang just to wait for this day.

Although before that, Zhang Yan's idea of ​​"to get rich, build roads first" never stopped, but at that time, what Zhang Yan ordered to build were basically the roads inside Wancheng and other cities in Lujiang. In order to solve the traffic hazards brought by the population surge to Lujiang.

Zhang Yan just took this opportunity to solve the large highway connecting the cities outside at once.

……

In addition to transportation, tariffs are also a big hole left by Zhang Yan for Zhou Xin.

If it is true what he said, customs duties and road taxes will be completely exempted between the two counties and cities, and the tax collection method will be unified, which means that both Lujiang and Danyang will completely share the market.

Shared market, understand?

Judging from the current productivity of Lujiang that is several times that of Danyang, once the two parties share the market, even a fool who has not gone to school can clearly know what the result will be.

……

Don't ask, the question is that Zhang Yan has learned the strategy of a certain Europa Economic Union, and now he is cutting off a little bit of flesh from the big man.

……

Regardless of Zhang Yan's thoughts, from Zhou Xin's point of view, he felt that these requests made by Zhang Yan were much better than he had imagined before.

At the very least, he didn't find any terms that would cause direct losses to Danyang and the people of Danyang.

At first glance, these demands made by Zhang Yan are quite reasonable, and Zhou Xin is not unbearable.

The only thing that makes him frown a little is that Zhang Yan's performance in this matter seems to be a bit of a rogue——

As we all know, the current Danyang is just like a weak woman who has been ravaged by a strong man. It can be said that she doesn't even have anything to hide her shame.

merchant?

what is that……

In the whole of Danyang, except for the local small traders who sell firewood, rice, oil and salt, those who have the conditions to conduct cross-regional trade, didn't they escape to the surrounding counties early?

Just like the Shanyue thieves used to plunder the geese by plucking their hairs and leaving the skins of the beasts, let alone caravans, even those second-hand dealers have been driven out of Danyang's territory.

Therefore, Zhang Yan's promise of tax exemption for Danyang merchants is actually no different from empty talk, and Zhou Xin basically can't see what Zhang Yan needs to pay for it.

On the contrary, the other party signaled him to order him to exempt Lujiang merchants from tariffs and road taxes in Danyang, which is a real loss for the Danyang government.

……

But then again, judging from the current situation in Danyang, in fact, even if Zhang Yan didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, how would the government's financial situation be better?

If the stability of the people's lives cannot be guaranteed, no one will pay taxes to the government...

No matter how bad the result is after Zhou Xin issued this order, it will not be worse than the current situation.

On the contrary, for the common people, if Zhou Xin ordered tax exemption, they would be able to buy more and cheaper necessities for the same price.

This is extremely important to help the people tide over the next difficulties.

Anyway, Danyang is now in the midst of a waste of time, even if the business cooperation with Lujiang is a one-sided cooperation, so what's the problem?

……

You just say that things are cheap or not, and it's over!

……

"This is what my virtuous brother said, and I deeply believe it as a brother."

"Don't worry, road construction, tax exemption, tax system reform, etc., as long as you come up with a specific plan, my dear brother, then I will have absolutely nothing to say, and I will do my best to follow your plan."

Nodding towards Zhang Yan, Zhou Xin thought for a while with his not-so-intelligent head, and didn't find anything too difficult.

So, he calmly agreed to the matter.

……

"So good."

……

Seeing that the other party had fully agreed to the first request, Zhang Yan was overjoyed and his eyebrows twitched subconsciously.

However, he didn't make it too obvious.

After taking a deep breath under the cover of drinking tea, Zhang Yan hid his joy in his heart, moved his fingers at the same time, and continued to explain his plan to Zhou Xin.

……

……

……

"Brother Zhou, after the problem of promoting transactions is resolved, it won't take long for Danyang to become lively again."

"Businessmen from outside will also come to Danyang to do business again. They will bring new people back and forth, and at the same time spend a lot in Danyang, and the market in Danyang will become more and more prosperous."

"It's not enough to just promote transactions. In the next step, we need to let the common people have money to spend and make money to spend, so as to ensure that they can participate in consumption."

"Hiding wealth among the people is the basis for guaranteeing the scale of market consumption."

……

After that, Zhang Yan didn't care about Zhou Xin's half-understanding appearance, and instilled a bunch of new nouns for him.

……

"In short, if you want to make the people rich and allow them to survive until the grain is harvested, the easiest way is not to provide relief directly, but to take the initiative to create jobs for the people, using work as relief."

"Only in this way can we ensure that the survival pressure of those unemployed can be appropriately alleviated without causing too much financial gap to the government."

……

"According to my experience, I plan to let the government of Lujiang invest in the construction of factories in Danyang in the name of the government... well, it is a large workshop to produce various commodities."

"Lujiang's current financial situation is not bad. It can be responsible for the technology and money. Danyang will provide the land, construction workers and raw materials. The two parties will jointly hold these workshops and divide the income generated and settle separately."

"Brother Zhou, you also know that before this, there has never been such a precedent in the big man... But I have the last emperor's edict, and any change that is beneficial to the development of the subjects, as long as it does not touch taboos, then you can boldly try it .”

"But this matter... definitely requires you to nod and agree first."

Zhang Yanman smiled kindly at Zhou Xin:

"After all, for cooperation, the will of both parties is the basis."

"If you disagree, I can't force you to make a decision, can I?"

……

You can't force me to make a decision?

Mr. Zhang, do you want to see what you are talking about...

Subconsciously rolled his eyes, Zhou Xin's disgusting face almost turned green when he heard Zhang Yan tell him whether he agreed to make the decision by himself.

Zhang Yan's words sound nice, but everyone knows that the initiative of the so-called "cooperation" between the two is actually in Zhang Yan's hands.

Zhou Xin... Let alone resisting, she didn't even have the most basic protection.

Even if he agreed to Zhang Yan's suggestion now, if Zhang Yan needs to remove him from the position of Danyang prefect in the future, wouldn't he have to hold his nose and admit it?

It was precisely because of this that, in order to prevent Zhang Yan from turning against him now, even though Zhou Xin was somewhat resistant to Zhang Yan's proposal in his heart...but he still nodded and settled the matter like this.

……

Chapter 25 Defense Outsourcing?

In all fairness, unlike the previous proposals for road construction and tax cuts, Zhou Xin still has some resistance to Zhang Yan's desire to let the government directly invest in the investment.

Because no matter how you look at it, it looks like Zhang Yan is cutting his leeks, like Lujiang is cutting his Danyang's leeks.

……

It's just that Zhang Yan still has something to say about this matter...

Does his proposal today seem to be exploitative again?Does it look like a serious illness?

In fact, just the opposite.

No matter how much Zhang Yan invests in Danyang, the economic harvesting razor will not cut the heads of the people of Danyang.

The real disadvantage may be only Danyang's government...

……

This is a very simple reason, because in ancient times, limited by transportation and other factors, except for some luxury goods and expensive items, such as some firewood, rice, oil and salt, they could basically only be sold near the place of production.

I haven't heard of anyone who cut a basket of firewood in Jiaozhou and sent it to the border of Bingzhou in the North to sell it for heating, right?

Under such circumstances, the market in each region is relatively independent, and it is actually very easy for producers to satisfy the market——
