Chris entered Viscount Jordan's Mansion and was about to find his father, Yunado, when he saw his brother Brent walking towards him.
"Huh, Chris?" Brent's expression was very strange when he saw his brother.
Chris asked: "Where is dad?"
"He's in the study, but I advise you not to go find him now. He's in a bad mood." Brent said violently.
"What's wrong?"
Brent's eyes were teasing: "Speaking of which, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Chris was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Brent explained: "Didn't you give a gold coin to the people under your control some time ago? At the beginning, they took the money to go to Mote City to make purchases, and the daily sales of the family store suddenly skyrocketed.
It has increased several times, and my father was quite happy originally."
"As a result, after the other free people in the city learned the news, they all went to your Dawn City, causing the business in Mote City to become very bleak."
"Moreover, this phenomenon will continue, and the family's industry will be greatly reduced." As he said, Brent glanced at his younger brother, "If it weren't for your strength, I'm afraid all the nobles and businessmen in Mote City would have lost their money."
I wish I could peel off your skin."
"What a coincidence, that's why I came here." Chris said with a smile, "Take me to see my father quickly."
Brent asked: "You, what are you going to do?"
Chris always smiled and said nothing, which made him anxious.
The two brothers came to the study on the second floor of a certain castle in the Viscount's Mansion, one after the other.
"Dong dong dong." Chris knocked on the door lightly.
"Come in!" Yunado's voice came from the study.
Chris and Brent pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing this young son, Yunado stood up suddenly, walked over angrily, grabbed Chris's neck with both hands, and said angrily: "Look at the good things you have done!"
"Father, be gentle~" Chris opened his mouth and rolled his eyes.
Yunado lost some of his anger, let go of his hand, exhaled a breath and asked: "Tell me, how much money have you paid to the people in your territory?"
Chris stretched out a finger and said: "Ten thousand gold coins."
Hearing this, both Yunado and Brent took a deep breath.
The annual revenue of the entire Viscount Mansion is only about one thousand gold coins. I didn't expect Chris to be so generous, directly giving away ten years of profits to the Viscount family.
What surprised Yunado even more was that his youngest son's territory was a barren land with a population of about two hundred people six months ago, but now there are tens of thousands of people?
Yunado was extremely heartbroken and said: "What can I do with so much money? Why should I give it to those unruly people?"
Chris didn't have much explanation. It was purely a helpless move at the time.
If I didn't spend money to buy reputation, I probably wouldn't be able to stand here alive now.
He also thought about whether each person should be given twenty or thirty silver coins to tide over the difficulties at that time.
But ten thousand people would need hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and Chris simply didn't have that much change.
Yunaduo sighed and said, "Tell me, why are you coming to me this time?"
"I want the Jordan family's shops to settle in Dawn City." Chris said seriously, "There are not many free people in Mott City now. It makes no sense to continue this stalemate."
Yunado seemed to have expected it, and said: "Did you provide the facade of the house?"
Chris said: "The rent and taxes are exempted in the first year. In the second year, you need to buy or rent a storefront, and you also need to pay normal taxes."
"Isn't that equivalent to the fact that all the money we earned from our hard work for a whole year goes into your pocket?" Yunado was very dissatisfied.
The various storefronts of the Qiaodun family as well as the current mansion are all built by generations of ancestors and belong entirely to the family.
Do business in your own shop without paying rent to anyone.
As Mote City does not belong to any family, it does not need to pay taxes.
But the newly built Dawn City is different. Chris has ownership.
If the Jordan family moved their shop to Shuguang City, they would have to pay rent before they started making money, and then pay taxes on the transferred money. It would feel like they were inferior to others.
Chris said: "Father, you need to have a long-term vision. I can now provide jobs for tens of thousands of freedmen, with a daily salary of forty coppers. Now that they have money, they also have spending power. By then
If you open a store in Shuguang City at that time, the business will definitely be higher than ever before."
"And in the next few years and decades, Dawn City will definitely become one of the top big cities in the Eagle Kingdom. In terms of development prospects, it will definitely be countless times better than the small city you live in, Mote City."
I have to say that Chris's words were very tempting, and Yunado was really moved.
Yunaduo glared and said with dignity: "Given our relationship, it is not too much to permanently exempt rent and taxes, right?"
"No." Chris shook his head repeatedly, "Father and son have settled the score. I will exempt the Jordan family for three years at most."
Yunado held out ten fingers and said: "Ten years!"
"It's just three years, there's nothing else to talk about. If you don't want to, father, I'll find someone else." Chris turned and left.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Yunado had no choice but to give in. Although he had no hope of permanent rent and tax exemption, it would be good to fight for a few more years. He didn't expect that his youngest son would be so ruthless.
.
Brent didn't dare to breathe next to him. If he had talked to his father like this, he would have been slapped to the ground.
"How many facade houses have you built now?" Yunado asked. He sat up straight and became serious now.
"There are only five for now, but we will focus on this in the future, and we can build an entire commercial street in less than a month." Chris is full of ambitions.
There are currently close to 40,000 citizens in Dawn City, and the work efficiency is amazing. Chris is very confident in this.
"Okay, I want all five of these facades, and build ten more for me, and then you can use the ones you build for other people." Yunado looked directly at his youngest son.
His idea is very simple, that is, to open a store of the Jordan family in Dawn City as soon as possible, and first make a wave of money from the wealthy citizens.
The Jotun family eats the first piece of meat first, and the remaining soup is divided among other nobles and merchants.
"No problem." Chris agreed without thinking. After all, he came from the Jordan family, so he naturally wanted to do some good for his father.
After receiving a positive response from Chris, Yunado turned to his eldest son: "Brent!"
"Father, what are your orders?" Brent straightened up immediately.
Yunado said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Go and pick some servants from the family and move the food store, blacksmith shop, etc. to Dawn City for me. We must do it quickly!"
