Chapter 144 Only accept it

Municipal officials mainly manage large and small commercial matters in the city, calm disputes among merchants, and at the same time make the business in the place prosperous.

If this is a city that is truly governed by Liu Bei, it would be really easy to do. Let’s first make three tricks to make a huge reform, and then slowly start building the city and repairing the roads in various places.

With the fastest time, Liu Bei's reputation was raised, giving him a solid back.

But now it's different.

When Liu Bei was about to enter Yuyang, the Zhang family controlled the place and intervened in many business matters here, and most of the officials also had close ties with the Zhang family.

It is also because of this that he sent two hundred people to protect him.

It was precisely because he knew that this job was not easy to do, but for Fang Mo, he believed that this was a very simple thing.

Isn't it just business?

He felt that since Fang Mo was able to start his business with dozens of five-zhu coins, and later became hundreds of gold, it played a huge role in gathering his troops. Can't we manage this place well now? It's just business and intrigue. Who can compare with his Modi? Oh, no...

It seems that my fourth brother doesn't like this title very much...

Liu Bei looked at Fang Mo who was depressed and comforted, and said softly: "If today is in a troublesome situation, and I will definitely need to work hard to help the man again in the future. However, I only have two or three people in my hands. If you don't help, what can I do?"

"My second brother Yu, who is in charge of the thieves and thieves in a county, is already quite busy. I am happy that he can still return every day, which shows that this place is still good and the people are simple."

"The third brother Fei is guarding the village in Gianping. If there is something wrong with Yuyang, it will be here every night. This is your plan to be filial to you, and I will follow it."

"I am not filial to the age of filial piety. I am not able to bear it under the heavy burden, but I don't want to make everything in Yuyang and follow it. Such a great talent is thanks to my fourth brother who praised it that day."

"Xianhe (Jian Yong) acts fairly and makes him a Gongcao. He can record the affairs of all people in detail and repay them for their merits."

"As for you..."

When Liu Bei said this, he looked at the people who had raised their heads and Fang Mo who was still silent, and smiled bitterly: "I am a great talent, and I have the ability to support the world and flourish the world, but I am extremely lazy. Only by urging you can do it. Now, all the business affairs of Yuyang County will be left to you. I hope you can make this place more prosperous."

Speaking of this, he suppressed Guo Jia, who wanted to speak, smiled gently, and sighed again: "However, there are local tyrants here, and I don't know how many affairs are in the hands of his family. You should also be careful and try not to touch their interests. However, I can be relieved. After Lu Shi visited him in the future, I will definitely let the court know and curb it, so that you can boldly do it."

"Will you not accept this?"

He looked at Fang Mo, and there was a bit of expectations for his brother. There was a very expectant color in his eyes.

At this time, what else can Fang Mo say?

He could only stand up, bow and bow and bow. Although he was reluctant, he said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, if you take on the business matters here, you will definitely make it prosperous and the treasury full."

Nowadays, business actually pays certain taxes.

This is something that many people ignore, but because their strength is too low, no matter where they go, they will be extremely ruthlessly exploited. They either act as human beings and watch those with power or the profit is small, and they will even be attacked and die for them when they leave the city.

In other words, most of the taxes they paid were given to those real officials, and the profits were all in the hands of officials, and the taxes were not actually much in the pockets of the country.

This is why business has been developing slowly.

The reason for this is that if we talk about the origin, we may be afraid that Shang Jun (Shang Yang)’s reforms will be inevitable. It was from that time that the entire China began to suppress Shang and respect agricultural practices for two thousand years.

The main reasons are actually a few more.

First, the business saint Fan Li was too awesome, and second, the allusion of Tian’s generation of Qi made everyone hate chills, fearing that they would appear again.

Great things come out, small things come in, and people win the hearts of the people. Even if they rebel and support a puppet, those people still have no reaction. This is really a big eye in the feudal era.

You must know that family and country are the king.

However, the Qi State, which was supposed to be Jiang Qi, was lost because of the emergence of the Tian family. How could others not be wary of it?

Qin's law stipulated many restrictions on business, such as the fact that big things are definitely not allowed to come out or small things are in. Even if you want to help the people, you have to hand over gold and silver to the country to relieve the disaster. No matter how rich the merchants are, they can only buy some rice porridge and give them to the victims. This is the limit. Whoever dares to do more will definitely send someone to kick them to death.

How can a businessman accept the people's hearts?

It is different to serving porridge, because it is just a kindness, and officials will even promote such things. For example, a good folk customs can definitely be said by Shangguan.

Most of the Han inherited the Qin system and most of them had a great relationship with it. For this reason, business has always been suppressed. In addition, most taxes or profits fell into the hands of local officials, which naturally made the court unable to see much profit, so they only felt that this was a small path.

However, if we really calculate it, the business now is already very developed. If we really talk about it, we can deal with the tax revenue for two or three years, even if there is another national disaster of two or three years.

But will officials give up on their profits? They don’t. They just think that this is what they deserve. Being an official is nothing more than fame and fortune. Especially at this time, when corruption is still extremely ambiguous, it is normal for local officials to control some business.

Therefore, business cannot be developed thoroughly, and then some are remote, or have no specialties, and there are not many commodities, so officials can only try their best to squeeze the people and use them to fill their reputation in office.

Others pay so much taxes, but they don’t think about it. There are smuggling in the local area, which has caused a lot of merchants to come and go, and then drive the economy of the local area. What they think is that if others can pay so much taxes, they can naturally pay it. If not, that is, it is too good to the people.

Fortunately, the Liu family is really good to the people below. There are thirty taxes, one, sixty taxes, and even no charges. This is why, in this situation where the entire era is distorted, there are still not many people causing trouble.
