Mu Xiangyue, who had guessed Li Zicheng's thoughts, did not show much shock.

"oh,"

He responded softly. Although Mu Xiangyue could not understand Li Zicheng's approach, and he still had some hidden worries in his heart, after staying in China for so many decades, he naturally knew what those officials thought, and this would inevitably be a bit disturbing.

The bottom line of human beings.

"Although we are now a republic, everyone wants to invest in industry to get rich and rejuvenate the country. Anyone who runs a factory cannot escape the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. If you are building a railway and the land used for the railway is exempt from paying land taxes, you can be exempted from most of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

As for the national tax, the railway company has already paid the tax, so why should it pay the tax? And by then, even the police station, the court, etc., in short, it is the road administration that takes care of itself..."

Li Zicheng, who was talking eloquently, even began to admire his... well! He was shrewd. What he wanted to do was to build a "China's Manchuria Railway". Basically, he wanted to build a "1912 Special Economic Zone", a railway-based railway.

The center is a special economic zone along the railway built on the land attached to the railway.

Listening to Li Zicheng's words, Mu Xiangyue even thought that he had heard wrong. Slowly, he felt that Li Zicheng was not building a Chinese Manchuria Railway, but a "state within a state" that spanned the Central Plains.

”, belongs to Li Zicheng, and belongs to Liuhe Company’s state within a state.

What Li Zicheng said next further strengthened Mu Xiangyue's speculation.

"... Of course, the location along the railway line is too small and there is nothing to operate, but near the station, we can subcontract the location and avoid paying local tax or even national tax, which is enough to attract a large number of businessmen to invest and set up factories in the station area and pay the central government

The company is responsible for the unified taxation. The factory is close to the station, which facilitates product transportation. As long as there is freight, the railway will be profitable, and the factory land can obtain rent. There will be more factories, and there will naturally be more workers, and business will naturally prosper. The station is attached

The land will naturally prosper accordingly. Well, maybe by then, we will be able to have these cities centered on stations..."

As he listened, Mu Xiangyue, who was originally a little worried, became excited as Li Zicheng described it. He didn't notice that his breathing had become rapid. He was a businessman and did not go abroad until he was in his thirties.

How could he not know the difficulties of setting up factories and industries in China? As the saying goes, it is easy to deal with the king of hell, but it is difficult to deal with the devil. Even local big shots have to respect the place when setting up factories, let alone other people.

And if such a railway is really built and such a subsidiary land is owned, those difficult "little devils" can be driven away from the root. Those who are willing to invest in industry along the line will naturally be willing to set up factories in the subsidiary land, let alone road police.

Courts, etc., and even companies can "tax" it at that time!

Li Zicheng's description made Mu Xiangyue sigh in her heart, there are still some railways here and there, it is basically a country within a country centered on railways.

A country within a country!

As soon as these four words appeared in his mind, Mu Xiangyue felt cold sweat on his back. If this thing came true, would the president still be able to tolerate him?

"...When building roads, we must consider expanding the "logging" railway land along the line as much as possible. In the future, factories can be built in these places. As soon as the factories are built, new stations can naturally be built. Once the stations are built,

We can also get an additional piece of annexed land with a larger area..."

"First build the railway from Haizhou to Huoqiu. Once this railway is built, coal and iron will be available. Later, we can build it from Xuzhou to Xi'an, from Xi'an to Chengdu, from Chengdu to Yunnan, and from Xi'an to North Korea.

Hubei is built. In short, if we build the railway to that point, the auxiliary areas can be opened there, and the tax-free factories can be built there. In this way, in less than ten years, China's railways will be tens of thousands of miles long, and there will be tens of thousands of miles along the railway lines.

With factories all over the country, China can become rich and powerful..."

At this time, Li Zicheng, who was very proud, or Mu Xiangyue, who was also excited as he described it, seemed to see the day when railways were built across China, and the giant leech lines built by the great powers in China that sucked up China's economic resources.

Different from other railways, these railways are the lifeblood of comprehensively driving China's economic development.

Unlike Li Zicheng who was elated because he could come up with such a "genius" idea, Mu Xiangyue, who had calmed down from the brief excitement and even fear, asked a question.

"The question is, will they agree to our building the railway this way?"

Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows and was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed out loud.

"Will they disagree with us building this railway?"

"Why do you agree?"

Mu Xiangyue asked rhetorically.

"Because Yuan Shikai needs my money!"

"If you need money, you don't necessarily have to betray your country. This is..."

"But what? If there is no money, the government will have to do everything. In order to get the money, they will let foreigners take over China's finances and supervise the Chinese army, and they will naturally agree to our conditions!"

Li Zicheng said this sentence lazily, and then spread his hands as if helplessly.

"Without my money, Yuan Shikai would have no choice but to betray his country. At that time, Yuan Shikai would not be able to bear the accusations from the South alone. Compared with the conditions of foreigners, what I want is just a man who wants to be in his own country.

The land I bought got...well..."

After a moment of silence and thinking in my mind, I came up with a suitable noun.

“Just proper business autonomy!”

“Business autonomy?”

"That's right!"

Nodding his head, Li Zicheng said even more proudly.

"Yes, in the future, if people want to set up factories on our land, we will not charge taxes. Well, we will charge management fees, which are of course very small. On our land, they will abide by our rules. Yes, we can also set up a mediation committee or something like that.

It’s similar to a court. In short, we don’t want the name of a state within a state, as long as we can achieve the reality of a state within a state!”

A country within a country!

Mu Xiangyue shook her head, as if she was lamenting Li Zicheng's ambition, but she was more worried.

"But... Zhiyuan, you need to know!"

Looking at Li Zicheng seriously, Mu Xiangyue's expression was full of worry.

"If our previous words spread, how much trouble it will bring us!"

"Can……"

After his words fell silent, with a smile on his face, Li Zicheng leaned lazily on the sofa, but his eyes were still fixed on Mu Xiangyue.

"Will you spread the word?"

Then leaning forward, Li Zicheng thought for a moment.

"However, we have to do it in the hands of others. After all, sometimes we have to let others ask us first, so we have to plan this matter carefully!"

It's not just a good plan. If you are careless, your life may be over. Li Zicheng naturally understands the risks involved, but the risks and benefits are directly proportional. If you don't take the risk to try it, what will happen if you don't take the risk?

How can you get rich rewards? Sometimes, you have to dare to think and do.

"Ouchu, if we were in Baotou, I wouldn't even think about this matter, but..."

With a wry smile, Li Zicheng tapped the location of Lianyungang on the map.

"But in this place, we have to think about this idea. If we don't move this idea, we are afraid that if we turn around, we will only be eaten alive by others as fat meat. Baotou is a remote place, and all forces are beyond their reach, but this is not the case.

Same, so, rather than saying that I want this subsidiary land, I want a small world of my own. As long as I can survive the first few years, it will be easy in the future!"

Not easy!

I sighed, why is it so difficult to start a career in this day and age?

"That's why I took advantage of the government's request from me to see if I could get something out of it. Now they treat me as fat, and in a few years..."

Shaking his head, if it weren't for this small world, he would probably be just a fattened Tang Seng!

(Second update, wow. First of all, I need to thank you for letting me think about the big rewards and reminders. I will work hard! Thank you! Just as Zui Sheng Meng Si Da said, Li Zicheng’s financial strength when he appeared

It is better than the ordinary people, but it is also much more high-profile, and attracts everyone's attention as soon as it comes out. But in this way, the protagonist cannot accumulate a lot of money, and the golden finger required for development must be much greater. He must rush to the first battle without interference.

Build the factory and supporting facilities and ensure the smooth start of production; you also need to establish your own armed forces to protect yourself before Yuan Datou's death. Therefore, it is difficult. Because of this, the protagonist needs someone who will not be disturbed, at least not much.

In this small world, I have escaped for these few years before I can become a monster that no one can eat, even if I eat it. Hey, why is it so difficult to do something? PS: New books are not easy! Please recommend.
