Chapter 197: There is people's freedom there
The old patriarch, of course, explained his reasons...... The vigorous transfer of family property to the south is not a trivial matter, and it represents the ultimate development direction of a family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The old patriarch said very vaguely, but the general meaning was very clear.
He thought the Tatars were terrible, but now that they were red-eyed and had lost their minds, they were sure that they would end up acting unpredictably, and besides, they might as well snatch everything up and go away...... Those hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and feed, but they will not come in vain, in the end, the people will pay, and all the families will not be able to run!
Of course, this is the general meaning, and it is not explicitly stated, and everyone can hear it.
It has been suggested that there should be no problem for someone from his own family to serve as a local magistrate.
The old patriarch smiled slightly, he stroked his white beard and said, the magistrate belongs to the Dong family, which is true, but the legal system of the Tatars changes almost every day, especially their upper echelons are fighting fiercely...... No one knows what the final outcome will be.
No matter how strict the legal system is, it is better than a legal system that is always changing.
The old patriarch said such things with his own life experience...... No one can dispute his judgment.
Well, everyone accepted this one: quickly, a large number of people transferred to the Great Song Dynasty...... Of course, it must be hidden from people's eyes and ears, and it cannot be made public.
The formulation of Article 2 is very special...... The old patriarch asked some of the young people to go to the island of Liuqiu!
The old patriarch took out a stack of "Liuqiu Times" and showed it to everyone, "You can send some offspring...... The old man has inquired, and the articles on this are all true, and we will send someone there to ask not only for wealth but also for future security......"
Once again!
A large family, whenever it grows to a certain size, will naturally branch...... Of course, it is the war that facilitates the behavior of the branches of the extended family the most.
But why choose there? Or overseas??
It can't be because the content of the article is all true, so be it...... Branching is not a simple migration, it needs to find a suitable node and location, but how to choose overseas......
The old patriarch smiled slightly again and said, "The old man has noticed, there has been no change in taxes for more than three years......
Well, no businessman would want to pay no taxes, they are just afraid of the instability of their taxes, in fact, even if they are a little higher...... Merchants will make up for it by raising prices, but if they are unstable, they will not do business because they will not be able to know how much they will sell.
It is true that there is a word for profiteering in business behavior, but that is only in a certain scope and industry, and it cannot be a large-scale, industry-wide ...... Ninety percent of the business is still ordinary business.
When Zhang Guoan was managing the flow of demand, he paid special attention to this tax issue.
He has always believed that, in addition to freedom, the most important reason for promoting or hindering the development of a region is taxation.
It is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it will be the driving force for development; If you don't use it well, you will hurt your vitality.
In the past three years, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, has only increased one type of tax, the education tax, and the tax amount is not large, and every time he enters and leaves the island, he has to be charged an additional penny...... Labor purchased from outside is not counted, and every import and export of commercial goods is also included here.
No one cared about the money, but it was enough to pay for a few small schools that were quietly running.
The three of them have discussed, now is the best time to educate the next generation, the upgrading of technology is enough, and then want to be ahead, except for a very few industries...... For example, the hot air balloon, except for it at the moment, is enough to develop in this time and space.
So, their focus has changed, and that's why this tax has been added.
At that time, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, thought that this happened to be a dynamic questionnaire, at least to show the number of changes in the people and goods on the island.
Perhaps no one would have thought that the tax policy of Liuqiu Island could attract the attention of the patriarch of a large family thousands of miles away.
The old patriarch's judgment came from the "Liuqiu Times", but his certification was obtained through the people in the family who went to do business.
As mentioned above, the total number of products used by the Dong family is probably the most used in the region.
The first is that the products are easy to use, and the second is that their business with the island is very successful.
The Guantao area is a place where pecans are abundant, and ordinary mountain goods, which were not too valuable in the past, can be sold at a good price in the Liuqiu area...... I heard that the upper class there is proud of eating walnut oil, I don't know who took the lead, and there are countless followers!
From here to Liuqiu Island, sea and land transportation greatly increased the transportation cost, but because the business there is very fair, and the goods are really easy to sell...... Of course, they did not choose high-priced luxury goods, but chose some mass goods, but fortunately, there were no restrictions on merchants like them under Tatar rule, and they could come and go freely.
The old patriarch of the Dong family often saw them complacent in the Liuqiu Times, saying that the people on Liuqiu Island had a freedom that was not available in the world...... Before, he didn't think so, but when it was really his family's turn, he felt how important this freedom was.
Their merchants could come and go as if they were going to their own homes; It's like being on your own turf, and you can do whatever you want...... It's really better than the Great Song Dynasty, and there has never been anything forbidden.
Except, of course, military supplies, no serious businessman is interested in that.
The old patriarch of the Dong family emphasized with some embarrassment: "Yes...... There is people's 'freedom' there! ”
Freely?
The people of the Dong family looked at each other, that is to say, there is no continuous sitting, there are no road rules, as long as you don't violate their regulations, you can do what you want, except for military supplies, there are not even forbidden things, and there is no monopoly system...... There are even all kinds of barricades in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are no barricades there to check......
Everyone discussed it for a while and thought it was feasible...... Anyway, there are countless merchant ships there, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.
However, the matter should be kept more secret, so that no one else can know about it...... No one fails to pay attention to this.
The last item of the old patriarch was about local development.
He stroked his pure white beard and said, "The old man is already old, and he has no intention of leaving the country, and his life and death are here......
Hehe, at this time, there was a sound in the venue, and several elders said that people of their age would finally guard the ancestral hall of the clan here.
"When the world is peaceful again, it doesn't matter who sits in the world...... Don't forget the ancestral tablets. ”
Dong Fang, the local magistrate, was also present at this time, his position was the highest among everyone, but his position in the Dong clan was at the back of the line, and he couldn't get on the stage.
He has no complaints about this, and honestly sits down by ranking according to his seniority.
When he heard the old patriarch's words, he felt that his heart was not good...... Obviously I don't have confidence in the government. (To be continued.) )
