462 Profiteers vs. profiteers
Stumbled upon the tax ideas provided by Sidi, which made Hong Tao couldn't help but be moved. As a world-class profiteer, Jews seem to have business in their blood from birth, and they can handle everything from state taxes to usury when it comes to financial issues.
To use it or not to use it, this is a dilemma for Hong Tao. No, it's really unwilling to see a more advanced and efficient tax system pass by.
If you want to use it, you have to include the Jews in your system. Let's not talk about whether they are happy or not, they have to be happy if they are not happy, but what I am afraid of is that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God.
These ** businessmen are really not good partners, they can inadvertently infiltrate various departments, and control the economic lifeline with a black heart. If you want to use it without believing it and give it up at any time, you basically can't do it.
In the end, the decision was still used, because the tax method perfected by Sidi and his people was too attractive for Hong Tao to bear to abolish it, and he planned to take a risk, but to minimize the risk.
How to lower it? can only fall on the adopted daughter Chenniang. The queen is not called in vain, Hong Tao intends to make a deal with her and her people, and exchange labor for future land. There is nothing new, just like Xi Luosa, as a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty.
"We can trust you, but we don't trust your emperor. I'm afraid that you don't have the right to make decisions for your emperor, so you can do it on your behalf! ”
When Hong Tao formally proposed this deal with the Jewish four-headed animals, he had to tolerate them muttering together for half an hour, and he had to listen to Sidi's ridicule. Her language talent is really amazing, and she can speak idioms.
"I ......" Seeing that her adoptive father was questioned, Chen Niang immediately forgot her position and planned to come forward to scold her as a queen, although she had not yet been officially recognized by the clan.
"You listen to me first, it's not a good habit for adults to talk and children to interject!" But Hong Tao didn't let her continue, in front of the clansmen to support the foreigners, it is estimated that her queen will never be recognized.
Talking with the Jews has to be mentally prepared to do billions of big deals, and it is a protracted war, testing each other, finding out each other's bottoms, bargaining, and not thinking about the results of three or two months. I can afford to wait, there is no need to give up Chen Niang because of this little thing.
"Those three children are not ordinary people, they are the sons of the Great Song Emperor, and they are the sons who are most likely to succeed to the throne. This official is the brother-in-law of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the husband of the emperor's favorite sister. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has handed over the future crown prince to his most trusted brother-in-law, can you make your worries a little less? ”
If you don't give up Chen Niang, you have to give up others, Hong Tao is also ruthless, so he simply gave up his three nephews. It's a fart to be an adopted daughter than a nephew, and the Jews should have no incentive to hurt the prince of the Great Song Dynasty at the moment. Profiteers are not outlaws, they will calculate the gains and losses of everything they do, and they will not do things that are too risky.
"Where are you going to choose this land?" There was another intense exchange of foreign languages, and it was still Sidi who spoke. In fact, the three-headed animal also learned some Chinese, and usually spoke a few words, but when it came to formal occasions, they pretended to be grandchildren.
Hong Tao is asking for them now, so he will endure it first. Don't worry, as long as one day they have the upper hand, they must let these three animals sing loudly to themselves in Chinese, and this day will not be too far away.
"Hahaha, after talking for a long time, this sentence is considered to be the point. Chen Niang, bring the map! "As long as the other party is interested in the conditions you offer, this matter is easy to talk about.
The Jews are smart, but no matter how clever they are, they can't completely crush an old fritter from a thousand years later, and not once crossed. It seems that their elite clansmen have joined forces to fight with themselves once a thousand years later, and in the end, it will not be five or five.
Come on, get on the little shovel, and see how the master digs this hole, and he has to dig it in front of you, and then let you jump down willingly, begging me to fill it in!
"If it is too close to the Great Song Dynasty, as Sidi said, the official has no right to cede to outsiders, and the emperor and ministers will not agree. This area is too desolate, there is no food, there is no water source, and it is not close to the sea, so the transportation is not very convenient. You are good at manufacturing and trading, and you have to find a place to live with a port. ”
"So, I think this place is the most suitable. It is far away from the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor is beyond the reach of the whip, and the courtiers will not need a piece of land on the other side of the sea, and the official can give it to whoever he wants, and no one will object. It is bordered by the sea on both sides of the east and west, and has a very good port to use. To the west, you can go to the Wa Kingdom, and to the east is the Great Song Dynasty, and you can sell as many goods as you want, and you have the conditions to do as much business as you want. ”
"Well, the official is not perfunctory, fully considering the short-term, medium-term and long-term interests of the partners, which is enough to show the sincerity and credibility of the officer's cooperation. At this point, you are inferior, and so far no one has told me that your people have gone to Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and have made contact with the tribesmen of Northern Israel! Isn't that so? My faithful servant, little lady of the leopard? ”
After receiving the map of Asia brought by Chen Niang, Hong Tao was like a god possessed, pointing to the heavens and the earth, the side of the expedition, the mouth like a river, and the gushing endlessly.
In terms of geography, humanities, history, religion, transportation, and so on, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula is said to be the only homeland suitable for the survival of Jews in the world. I was embarrassed to say hello to Jehovah and sorry for my Jewish ancestors, but I didn't forget to stuff some chili noodles into the candy.
The blue hat in Kaifeng City has always been concerned by Zhu Bajin's apprentices, just two months ago, two foreign merchants suddenly came to the door, and the appearance of the two foreign merchants has been painted and sent to Hong Tao, one of whom Hong Tao must have seen.
If one is not sure, Wang Er, Wasp, and False Fortune can all testify that this guy with too big eyes and too high a nose is one of the few warriors chosen by the Jews to find their people.
On the surface, these profiteers are willing to serve themselves, but secretly they may not know how many back roads they have found. Under the pretext of looking for a clansman, he went to Kaifeng to contact the blue hat and returned, thinking that he was not only to contact the ethnic groups of Northern Israel, but also to find out his own details, or simply to hug the thick legs of the Great Song Emperor and balance himself from the government level.
Of course, this plan of theirs must be frustrated, and the Great Song Emperor and his courtiers knew about the kingdoms of Southern Judah and Northern Israel. So far, these Jews are still considered by the Song people to be a branch of the *** religion, otherwise how would they be called the Blue Hat Huihui. I didn't even understand the religion, and I still hope to be protected by the emperor, so let's dream.
So Hong Tao was not angry, this incident happened to become a hole card for negotiation, used to hit the other party's arrogance. The more mysterious they are, the less confident they are, and the more likely they are to negotiate according to their intentions.
"It was the Lord who told us to contact the people, Her Royal Highness said that this can be done......" After a conversation that seemed obviously not too intense, Sidi betrayed their queen tremblingly, and confessed Chen Niang's identity in front of everyone for the first time.
"I ......" Chen Niang obviously didn't know about it, her eyes widened and her mouth was open for a long time before she squeezed out a word.
She should also be aware of the limited betrayal by her people, but she doesn't know how to express her position. Not to mention a child, if you change to an adult politician, such a sudden change is likely to be helpless.
"Silly girl, you'll get used to it in the future. Didn't the official tell you that it is useless to lead a group by blood, the key is to have strength, the power that can make people have to bow their heads. Hey, don't shed tears, if you want to be a queen, you can't cry in front of others, that's a sign of cowardice. Let others see your weaknesses, and they will know how to defeat you, and they will lose their awe of you. If you want to cry at night, come to the official's room and cry secretly, don't be afraid that I will see your weaknesses, I have been optimistic about those things for many years. ”
Doing so hurt Chen Niang the most, and it touched her the most. Maybe one thing can make her grow up a few years old, in the way that Hong Tao educates children, it can stimulate and stimulate, and if you don't have a chance, you have to find a chance, why not use it.
It doesn't matter if you feel sad, disappointed, lonely, helpless, even if you are hopeless, a bad mood is better than losing your life. With this painful lesson, it is a great gain to be able to remind you not to make the same mistake a second time, and it is not a loss.
