Chapter 189: The Valley
PS: Ask for subscription support for the second time today!
With the strong support of Li Anran at no cost, the development of commercial streets and farmers' markets has proceeded quite smoothly. After three days of trial operation on the Shangyuan Festival, it only took two days of inventory before entering the state of official business.
Although after the trial opening, there is no discount for one month's rent, but for those businessmen who have experienced the popularity here, they don't care about this little investment at all, as long as they have popularity, they are afraid that they will not be able to make this money.
The only thing that made these businessmen a little dissatisfied at first was the commercial tax system. Don't look at the tax in any dynasty, but for many businessmen, tax evasion has become instinctive, and the means are endless.
As for the commercial tax, first, there is no Datang as the background, and secondly, the tax amount needs to be paid first, and the larger the profit, the higher the tax to be paid. In the face of such a situation, regardless of whether they have a background or not, these businessmen will naturally not be happy.
For this question, Li Anran had already thought of it before. Originally, I planned to pay out of my own pocket and reduce these taxes and rebates from the rent, but before I could put it into action, the situation turned 180 degrees.
Originally, those businessmen or teams who were still a little dissatisfied and did not want to pay this kind of tax, most of them changed their attitudes almost overnight, and changed from the previous negative or even resistant, directly became extremely positive.
As for the remaining small part, it was also discovered that the situation was very wrong. I also changed my attitude with it. There is no way not to change, those big businesses with strength and background have all handed over, how dare they not hand over if they have no strength and no background.
After hearing Wang Youde's report on the change in the payment of commercial taxes, Li Anran, who had just fulfilled his previous promise and "soared" with Xiangyun, didn't know who was contributing here.
Can make these large and small businesses and traders invariably change their force field and attitude, who else is there besides the true dragon emperor sitting in Chang'an City? Moreover, this must also have the cooperation of the ministers below.
Otherwise, take the eldest grandson family represented by the eldest grandson Wuji, if you don't cooperate. Even if you don't dare to disobey the holy will. But it is also possible to do things that are contrary to the yang and yin, passive and sabotage, or even muddy this pool of water to achieve the effect of confusing the public.
Li Anran didn't care much about what the top management of Datang thought of the commercial tax he proposed. During this time, in addition to taking Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun together. From time to time, he slipped into the tent stationed near the Loose Hills. Outside of combat training with those selected elite soldiers. Most of the time was spent on the development of new projects.
If it is said that Gewu Academy, which has already been completed and can start operating at the right time and opportunity, is just Li Anran in order to cultivate more talents for Datang. If you can process the progress of civilization in this era, then the new project is completely for yourself.
Li Anran has always felt that the reason why he has developed so slowly in Datang is not only because of the extremely limited infrastructure in all aspects, but also because there are not enough people.
Those unimportant positions can be handed over to the talents cultivated in the Gewu Academy to be responsible, but some core important positions have to be handed over to people they can trust, otherwise, a careless will affect their own safety, not to mention, it is easy to make a wedding dress for others.
The new project was arranged in a valley in the Taibai Mountains, which was far away from the Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, and had to climb three large mountains. Not to mention the Tongguò brigade, even those hunters who were born to eat this line of food did not dare to enter.
It is not surprising that the natural environment of the Tang Dynasty was far from being artificially developed and destroyed like modern time and space. The more you go into the mountains, the more wild animals there are. Among them, there are many that are quite deadly to human beings.
In this valley surrounded by mountains, only a waterway formed by a natural waterfall can escape. Moreover, it is still an underground sewer. Although there are not all cliffs around, it is indeed not easy for ordinary people to come down from above.
Although the area inside this valley is not very large, the internal environment is very good. Fertile land can be turned into good fields with a little reclamation, and the stream formed by the waterfall is a readily available source of water.
What makes Li Anran happiest is that there are three natural hot spring pools in this valley, except for the top one, which is too hot and can only be used to boil hot spring eggs or similar functions, the middle one is the most suitable for winter, and the one with the largest area in the lower layer has become a natural swimming pool.
Thanks to this hot spring, even in the cold winter, the valley is still full of life. Out-of-season fruits and vegetables, which can only be grown in greenhouses and greenhouses, are not uncommon here.
When I first discovered this valley, I was flying on a winter day and accidentally noticed that there was a phenomenon of water mist steaming here. Li Anran, who knew what this meant, immediately explored this area.
After using a small aerial photography aircraft to go around the valley, Li Anran, who was still unhappy that Xiaoyao Mountain Villa was always being stared at, liked it at first sight and decided to build a temporary secret base in this valley.
The reason why it is said to be temporary is mainly because Li Anran is not very satisfied with this place. In his opinion, if you want to build a place that can really develop for a long time, you need not only a large enough area, but also a suitable area in all aspects.
As for the role of this secret base, Li Anran actually didn't think too much about it. In addition to being a good place to spend a vacation in winter, the real intention is just to provide a quiet and safe environment for the talents you intend to cultivate.
Considering that the construction of this valley is very difficult if it is done by manpower alone, after deciding on this new project and using high-definition videos and high-definition photos from aerial photography as materials, Li Anran, who is in modern time and space, returned to China.
This time when he returned to China, Li Anran did not go to his hometown, but landed directly in Shanghai, the magic capital. And Shi Jinshui, who had received a message from his old classmate in advance, waited outside the exit passage of the airport early.
"Haha, Ran Shao, it's a great honor for the little brother to come." Seeing his college classmate and friend walking out of the exit passage of the airport, Shi Jinshui, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, hurriedly greeted him with a smile, punched the other party, and said.
"What's a lot less, and you're still here, have you ever seen it by yourself, and you didn't even bring a salute?" Li Anran, who punched the other party back, knew that the other party was ridiculing, and immediately said angrily.
"Cut! You don't understand, look at you now, everywhere you go with your mobile phone and wallet, flying around by plane is the same as when we go out to visit the vegetable market, know what the real rich people are like? That's what you are! Shi Jinshui continued to tease.
"Come on, whoever is really rich still takes a plane, it's his own private jet, okay." Li Anran, who threw a roll of his eyes, said: "Hurry up, don't talk about it, find a place to settle down first, and then we will discuss the business." ”
"OK, you're the boss, you have the final say." Knowing that he was a classmate and friend, this time he returned to China to find himself still for a project, Shi Jinshui was also poor again, and pulled the other party into his BMW car parked outside.
"Tut, okay, the original old Passat has been replaced by a BMW 5 Series touring model, this car is still imported. Tsk, the shotgun has changed. Looks like you're making a lot of money with me. After getting into the car, Li Anran couldn't help but joke.
"Earning is earning, but earning is hard-earned money. As for changing this car, there is no way, business needs. Shi Jinshui, who started the car neatly and drove out, smiled: "In terms of project quality, you can rest assured, there will be no problem." If you really want to have a problem, I'll give you a free teardown and rebuild! ”
For this, Li Anran was not worried at all. After the completion of the first phase of the project on Island No. 2, we found a professional to carry out the acceptance. The part of the project that Shi Jinshui's family is responsible for is not only frighteningly high in terms of efficiency, but also higher in quality than that of American construction companies.
