Chapter 417 I can finally talk about something serious.

I have to say that when it comes to taking advantage of loopholes, we Chinese are very talented...

However, this would only do harm to social development and progress, without any benefit. Therefore, of course Wang Shengren Xuan had to overcome all difficulties and reunify precise weights and measures.

"In the future, this currency will be used uniformly for tax collection and transactions. You can exchange silver or gold with me. I will open a 'Wuzhou Bank' in Jiufu, Fujian. In addition to normal deposit and withdrawal business, this exchange business will also

If it is added, there will be copper coin exchanges in the future, which will slowly and completely replace the circulation of scattered gold and silver. Those gold and silver are too imprecise, which really makes the market chaotic. Over the course of a year, thousands of taels of silver will be lost invisibly.

normal."

No one objects to this. Anyway, this kind of gold and silver coins is of very good quality and more exquisite. You won’t suffer any loss if you exchange it. Even if you spend money outside, you still feel decent. Compared with those ingots, these gold and silver coins look taller.

Got a lot.

As for whether Wang Xuan will make money when minting coins, everyone knows this, but looking at the craftsmanship and quality, it is worth it.

As for Wang Xuan's plan to open the 'Wuzhou Bank', everyone is relieved. No matter in terms of industrial scale or reputation, everyone feels that there is no problem, and with the more than 20 million yuan gained from the house robbery, Wang Xuan is really rich.

!

"Okay, the main things have been talked about. To summarize, tax collection, road construction, new weights and measures, new Confucianism, and new coins. When you go back, talk to other small and medium-sized aristocratic families and don't cause any trouble.

.”

"In addition, when it comes to road construction, I will not wait until taxes are collected. That would waste too much time. I will advance the money for road construction through the 'Wuzhou Bank' and arrange for someone to take charge of the construction work. Of course,

, if you are willing to undertake the construction of a certain section of road, no problem, you can make a quotation. As long as the price is right, this road will be built for you. Our Wuzhou Bank is only responsible for paying and inspecting. As for how much money you can make, it depends on you.

ability.”

"There's just one thing you need to remember clearly. I said that from now on, there will only be agricultural taxes and commercial taxes. All other random tax increases will be canceled in Fujian, including corvees. Please don't recruit men to build roads in the name of corvees. Let me

I found out that it’s not that easy to talk to.”

The matter of tax collection is originally the responsibility of the six houses and government officials in each prefecture and county. The gentlemen only need to see that the amount is sufficient. As for the specific collection situation, these officials really don't know, that is, Sui Wang

Xuan did it.

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, a group of people looked at each other in confusion. They all felt that there was something famous in this place, but they couldn't understand it for a while. After all, there was no one specializing in the construction business in this era, so naturally they didn't understand the details inside.

But this does not mean that these people have nothing to do. As long as they return to the place, they can naturally ask the workers in the six offices in the government office to explain to themselves that generally, the projects in various places are presided over by the workers. These petty officials are the most responsible for these things.

It's very familiar.

Of course, Wang Xuan couldn't let them make random quotes. Others didn't have engineering teams, but he had a lot. Just to build so many large sites and new cities, he had more than 10,000 construction workers. This time all the construction workers

The provincial road construction, coupled with the three ports, three new towns and roads in Xiaoliuqiu, must have a serious shortage of population, so he had the idea of ​​subcontracting the project.

"Okay, you go back and discuss the subcontracting matter yourself. I can tell you that the benefits are not small, and as long as you build a team with experience, you can make a lot of money in the future. Let me talk about the last point."

Wang Xuan looked around. This last point involves his personal interests, "Tingzhou Prefecture, Shanghang Purple Mountain, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Longyan, coal and iron mines, I want these two places!"

Wang Xuan's voice was full of majesty, and he had an undeniable momentum that oppressed the families who had interests in this matter. It only made these families break out in cold sweat. From Wang Xuan's momentum, they could clearly see from this momentum.

He felt that if he dared to refuse, his family would not be far away from being exterminated.

"Okay, okay." Several family heads couldn't stand this kind of oppression, and decided to give up this benefit on the spot. Although they could get a lot of benefits from it every year, it was not worth going against Wang Xuan for this.

Obviously, Wang Xuan's business direction in Fujian is mining, and he is not involved in other aspects. Now, many other families have also got involved, including textile factories, but Wang Xuan not only did not object, but also sold

Got a lot of machinery.

Since Wang Xuan is very measured and only focuses on the mining industry, no one can interfere in it. After all, this face must be given, and other families will not support them in going against Wang Xuan.

"Well, then I would like to thank the heads of the family. Of course, I am a very particular person and will not let you suffer. If I spend a large sum of money, I will treat it as buying it from you."

After hearing the agreement from several people, Wang Xuan showed a smile, and several family heads breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Since Wang Xuan said a large sum, it must be a big deal. This was regarded as a gain, and several family heads also felt relieved.

The main focus is to be happy in the heart.

This is Wang Xuan's cleverness. If he directly offered to buy it, several companies would definitely not be happy. Even if he sold it at a high price in the end, he would still be filled with knots in his heart. He always felt that he had lost money. However, Wang Xuan directly used his power to suppress others and forced him to buy it.

Several people took it from their hands, but they did not dare to say a word.

Taking out some money at this time will make it appear that Wang Xuan is generous in his work, never bullies others, and never takes advantage of others...

Over the years, Wang Xuan has been particularly good at this 'harmonious' negotiation method, and every time he makes a move, he is always successful.

The harvest this time was equally astonishing. The Zijin Mountain became the Shanghang Zijin Mountain Gold and Copper Mine in later generations, one of the top ten gold mines in my country, and Longyan's coal and iron reserves were the largest in Fujian.

The development of Zijin Mountain will allow Wang Xuan to ensure gold reserves and stabilize the exchange ratio of silver and gold. However, the steel plant in Sanming alone can no longer meet Wang Xuan's current needs and needs to expand production scale again.

Now that the matter has been settled, Wang Xuan smiled again and said, "Well, what we need to talk about today is over. Is there anything else you want to add? If not, let's talk about Xiaoliuqiu over there."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Damn it, I can finally talk about something serious that everyone is concerned about. This morning, all they talked about was making money from us, and there was no benefit at all.

"Haha, I see you are in a hurry, okay, let's talk about the Xiaoliuqiu development plan." Wang Xuan pointed to the big map behind him and said: "I will build three port towns in Xiaoliuqiu, at these three estuaries.

, among them, Zhuoshui River is the main one here, and the other two are small ones. In these three plain areas, I will build three large cities, and at the same time, I will build main roads leading to the rivers, and roads leading to other places.

, all cement pavement.”

"Whether it is a port, a city or a road, I paid for the construction costs myself. Of course, the land belongs to me. The tax is the same as that of Fujian. I appoint the government and the army. As for land development..."

Wang Xuan paused and looked around, then continued: "Let's use 10,000 acres as a threshold. Which company will develop 10,000 acres of land first, and then apply for the next batch of development targets."

"You know, it is not that easy to open up these 10,000 acres of land. Without tens of thousands of laborers, it will be difficult to complete the development within a year. And there are more than 40 people here. How many people do we have in Fujian? If we want to bring out such a

How much labor there is, it will eat up my fortune in Fujian."

"Therefore, it is useless to allocate any amount of land to everyone at once. Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand. We should find ways to speed up the development. In addition, I suggest that everyone activate their respective connections to go to the south of the Yangtze River and the northern provinces to attract those

The poor people who have no land and cannot survive, just in Fujian..." Wang Xuan shook his head, "It is impossible to meet the needs of everyone here."

"Of course, as for what kind of conditions you pay to attract people, it depends on you. However, after arriving in Xiaoliuqiu, these people will also have to be registered. They are not your slaves, and you cannot control each other's life and death at will.

.”

"As for the specifics of who is assigned to which city, it will be decided by drawing lots. There are twenty lots for each city. You can draw them by yourself. In fact, it doesn't matter where you go. The land is for you!"

After presiding over the drawing of lots, Wang Xuan left. With him here, it was impossible for these people to talk freely.

Sure enough, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Wang Xuan left. After chatting for a while, these family heads decided that when they go to Qiu Shiju, everyone should also communicate about where to go to get the population. This is the basis for determining everyone's development speed. Of course,

Various large livestock are also important laborers.

You know, a Qingxiang laborer is the backbone of the family. Basically, if you take away a Qingxiang, you have to take the whole family with you. Fujian has a total population of only about 4 million. There are more than 40 people here. If they are all recruiting people in Fujian, one time

They had to get close to half of the population, and even if they were willing, Wang Xuan wouldn't do it!

Therefore, the only targets are the north and the south of the Yangtze River.

The advantage of Jiangnan is advancement, and people from the south are much less likely to be acclimated to Xiaoliuqiu. The disadvantage is that the south is rich. As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and it is difficult for people who really cannot survive to be willing to go far away.

.

The advantage of the north is that there are many people who cannot survive, and it is easier to remove them, but the disadvantage is that it is far away, it is easy to adapt to the climate, and the mortality rate will be relatively high.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss what to do, they were so inexperienced in this matter!

Fortunately, the development will take some time, and you will have to wait until the construction of Wangxuan Port is completed before you can enter, leaving a lot of time for everyone to show off. At this time, it is time for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show off their magical powers.

"I think it's not just a matter of recruiting people. If they are all from the same place, it's not that easy to manage." A family head suddenly said loudly.
