I’m The King Chapter 538: : New Year’s Day 1

The Spring Festival in Jishi City is extremely lively and festive. This is the first Spring Festival after Zhengdong Mansion moved to Jishi City. Naturally, it is necessary to celebrate it. For this, Wang Wu from the household department of Zhengdong Mansion Tomorrow, gritted his teeth and set aside a large sum of money to decorate the whole city. In Gao Yuan's words, sometimes waste is also a necessity. Because some waste can let the people under the rule see the prosperity and prosperity of the entire Zhengdong Mansion, and it can also greatly enhance the self-confidence of the people.

The people living in Jishi City and its surrounding areas, whether they are Yan people or Huns, after two years of hard work, their lives are already quite good compared to other places. Every household has land, and the tax levied on the East Mansion is relatively low, and these reclaimed fields are now basically tax-free, and every grain of grain produced is owned by the family, which can be called a family. The family has surplus food. Especially for the group of people who came to Jishi City the first time, in two years, it was enough to turn the former raw land into mature land, and the output was also greatly increased, and the granary in the family was full.

In addition to these, what is more important is that they have other income. The construction of Jishi City did not send labor to these residents, but paid them according to the working day. The wages are not high, but for the entire Central Plains, this is also the first job. In any country on this continent, it is clear and legitimate for the government to send labor to the people, and there is no need to pay a penny.

Gao Yuan has his own set of theories about this, and after two years of practice, this set of theories was finally accepted by Jiang Jiaquan, Wang Wudi and other ministers. Don't be afraid to pay the common people. After the common people have money in their pockets, they will use it to buy things and consume it. However, the taxes collected by Zhengdong Mansion on merchants are the highest on the entire continent. In other words, the money eventually flowed back to the Zhengdong Mansion through various means. Although merchants have complaints, within the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion, the largest merchant is Sihai Trading, and Sihai Trading is controlled by Zhengdong Mansion. Naturally, they have nothing to say, not even Sihai Trading. Other merchants, You can only accept this.

It's been a long time. All the merchants also found that although the taxes levied by the East Mansion are extremely high, the speed of their goods circulation is countless times faster, because the common people have money in their hands, and naturally they buy more things. The profit seems to have dropped, but after a year's calculation, it is actually a lot more than before. The complaints naturally came down.

More importantly, the status of merchants has been greatly improved in the area under the control of Zhengdong Mansion. This, in particular, pleases them.

As far as Gao Yuan is concerned, he doesn't know anything about the advanced theories of market economy. But after all, he came from a society with a highly developed commodity economy, even with his extremely shallow economic knowledge, in this era. Also enough to change a lot.

What makes Gao Yuan more satisfied is that the Xiongnu people and the Yan people have been hostile and indifferent from the very beginning to the current harmony and closeness as a family. Lost the strength to breastfeed.

In today's Jishi City, the Huns don't know how to farm, and the Yan people will organize experienced farmers to teach them hand in hand, and the Yan people are not good at raising livestock, so the Huns will also come to the door to help and communicate with each other Yes or no, help each other, and the result will naturally be improvement together.

The villages outside Jishi City are gathering more and more, and the reclaimed land is becoming more and more extensive. Every family can make them, but there are too many of these things to be consumed locally, so they are bought by Sihai Commerce and Trade, and they go out of western Liaoning and Yan, and sell them everywhere, bringing a lot of profits to the people of Jishicheng.

The more profitable business is all kinds of fur business. In the past, the Huns traded with the Central Plains people. Generally speaking, they suffered a lot. Some small objects such as pots, pans, needles, threads and brains can be exchanged for the Huns. Fur that cannot be piled up, but now, these businesses unified by the Four Seas Commerce and Trade have made all the people in the Central Plains countries who used to do these businesses sigh that the era of huge profits is over.

Gao Yuan even allowed Sihai Trading to sell horses to Yan people, Qi people, Zhao people, and Wei people.

War horses have always been one of the most important strategic special assets on this continent. Even in the era of the Huns, there were extremely strict regulations on the export of war horses from the Central Plains. There was a lot of controversy in the Eastern Mansion, because everyone believed that the cavalry was now the biggest advantage of the Conquering Eastern Army. If they sold a large number of war horses to the countries in the Central Plains, they would also be able to form cavalry, and the advantage of the Eastern Conquering Army Then nothing remains.

In this regard, Gao Yuan smiled lightly, and asked: "How long does it take for an infantry to train?"

One month of training for an infantry can master basic knowledge, half a year is enough to become an elite soldier.

And a cavalryman?

Without a few years of achievements, it is difficult for cavalry to give full play to their advantages, and it may take longer to become an excellent cavalry.

What's more, the cost of raising a cavalryman for a year is enough to raise dozens of infantry.

It takes a very long time and a lot of money to form a powerful cavalry force.

In the past, war horses were restricted, and countries could not form a large number of cavalry, but now, Gao Yuan gave them this opportunity. Let's form the cavalry, put all your time and money on your cavalry, and at a certain point, you will find that the cavalry will become that bottomless pit, investing countless, but ultimately getting little.

More importantly, when cavalry can be formed, some people in power will inevitably despise infantry, and infantry is the basis for the survival of the countries in the Central Plains.

Gao Yuan dug a hole and waited for some people to jump into it.

And this problem is not a problem at all for Zhengdong Mansion. Not to mention that almost every household in Jishi County now raises horses, but there are more and more Huns returning home, plus the vast prairie outside , can provide Gao Yuan with enough horses, and his investment is extremely limited.

As for the cavalry, the Huns themselves are natural cavalry, and under the leadership of these people, how many people in Jishi County can't ride horses?

The Spring Festival in Jishi City is lively, just like the beginning of every new political family, it is thriving, and the people of Jishi City are happy now, in three words, they are not short of money.

This Spring Festival this year is especially lively because the first day of the new year is the day when Sun Xiao, the commander of the Northern Group Army, and Cao Lianer, the daughter of Cao Tiancheng, the boss of Sihai Business and Trade, are married. Congratulations to Sun Xiao, and more businessmen from all over the world are also camping in Jishi City. There are not many businessmen on this continent who do not want to curry favor with Cao Tiancheng. But it is extremely astonishing, and now it can compete with the Qin Yong Chamber of Commerce of the Qin State that once ruled the world.

Businessmen are all shrewd. The franchise method adopted by Four Seas Commerce is more clever than any other chamber of commerce in this world. Unique commodity business opportunities, and what they have to spend is just a certain percentage of profits, and what they get is really a drop in the bucket.

What's more, everyone knows that behind Sihai Commerce and Trade, there is a famous figure in the world, Gao Yuan. With such a figure standing upright, it is natural to guarantee one's own interests.

In this era, behind any chamber of commerce, there will be a powerful person standing, otherwise, you will not be able to operate at all.

It’s not that no one has challenged Four Seas Commerce and obtained the management rights of their products, but in the end they were unwilling to hand over the agreed profits. The method of Four Seas Commerce and Trade’s response is very simple. Allow them to sell this type of product again, if the merchant does not listen to dissuasion, the second step will follow, and the second step will appear to be very rude, directly humane destruction.

When a businessman from the state of Qin died overnight and his shop was burned to ashes, no one dared or wanted to challenge the bottom line of the world's business. This incident once caused a sensation in the mainland. Although in the end the Black Ice Platform of Qin State and the criminal department claimed to have found the murderer and brought him to justice, everyone who understands knows that this is just a cover-up. The real murderer is in Liaoxi. , no one can bring him to justice.

Countless guests went to Jiji City, and the inns and pubs in Jishi City made a lot of money, and 90% of these inns and pubs belong to the industry of Universal Commerce.

In the later stage of the construction of Jishi City, under Gao Yuan's instruction, Wu Kai allowed merchants to buy land and build these inns and restaurants at their own expense. The first beneficiaries were naturally the merchants under the Four Seas Commerce.

The inn can no longer accommodate, and the later guests can only rent the houses of the common people, which brings a lot of income to the local common people. Sun Xiao got married, but Wang Wudi laughed the most Happy.

Because when these people arrived in Jishi City, apart from spending money, they couldn’t say anything to the local landlord Gao Yuan. All kinds of gifts were piled up in the warehouse, and finally they all belonged to the Ministry of Households.

For the whole day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Jishi City fell into carnival. Sun Xiao has a prominent status, and Cao Lian'er not only has a father who is now a big boss, but also a younger brother with a high position, which is more important. What's more, Ye Jinger, the governor's wife, regards her as a younger sister, and the combination of various factors has made this extremely grand wedding banquet.

The highlight of the wedding banquet was the Xiongnu Dance performed by hundreds of Xiongnu women led by He Lanyan. When He Lanyan danced enchantingly on the stage, almost all the senior officials of Jishi City were shocked. I was dumbfounded, because in their eyes, He Lanyan was always an all-powerful, arrogant and arrogant character, never seen her with such a daughter's appearance. (To be continued~IndoMTL.com~
