With Ouyang Shuo's approval, Meng Zhida began to elaborate on his monetary plan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The most important thing is to set up a banknote printing bureau under the headquarters of Sihai Bank, which is responsible for the printing of banknotes.

The banknotes planned to be issued by the Four Seas Bank include four denominations: 10 gold coins, 20 gold coins, 50 gold coins and 100 gold coins, and there are no copper coins or silver coins, nor denominations below 10 gold coins.

According to Meng Zhida's vision, banknotes are positioned as high-end currencies, mainly used for commodity trading. As for the daily consumption of ordinary people, they are still dominated by three kinds of coins: copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.

What Ouyang Shuo needs to do is to buy the "Papermaking Technical Manual", "Printing Technical Manual", papermaking workshop architectural drawings and printing workshop architectural drawings.

It just so happened that Yingyu wanted to discuss with the Cui Chamber of Commerce about opening a branch in Shanhai County, and Ouyang Shuo simply entrusted Yingyu with carte blanche to handle the procurement matters. At the same time, he instructed Yingyu that it was best to recruit a group of skilled craftsmen in Dali through the Cui Chamber of Commerce.

Taking this opportunity, Yingyu put forward relevant reforms on the fiscal and tax of the territory, saying: "As the territorial economy has successfully passed the incubation period and has begun to prosper, the tax rate set during the privatization period has become somewhat outdated. The Financial Services Department (FSD) believes that the time is ripe for a higher tax rate increase. ”

Ouyang Shuo was silent, and the purpose of his establishment of the tax rate of 30 taxes and 1 was to encourage the development of handicrafts and commerce, and to successfully incubate the private economy.

Facts have proved that Ouyang Shuo's original decision was correct. Boosted by low tax rates and low-interest loans from Sihai Qianzhuang, Shanhai County's private economy has flourished, and the territory's tax revenue has continued to grow.

Shiyi time shift, as Yingyu said, since the original intention has been achieved, it is imperative to adjust the tax rate to a normal level. Otherwise, the economy of the territory is unprecedentedly prosperous, and the finances of the territory do not benefit from it. The increase in taxes and fiscal revenues in the territories is not to accumulate wealth, but to be able to better invest fiscal revenues in public services and infrastructure construction.

"What level does the Financial Services Department think is appropriate to adjust the tax rate?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Twenty taxes one."

"Twenty taxes one? Is this the final opinion of the Financial Services Department? ”

"No, in fact, the most suitable tax rate should be fifteen taxes and one, it's just ......" Yingyu hesitated a little.

"Just what?"

"The Finance Department is worried that the tax rate will be adjusted too much all at once, which will easily cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "The tax rate is a major policy of the territory, and it cannot be changed overnight, and its stability must be maintained. Since you want to adjust, you have to adjust it in one step. A little pressure, what needs to be overcome, must be overcome. ”

"Understood." With Ouyang Shuo's support, Yingyu was more confident in implementing it, and then said: "In addition to taxes, there is also the issue of paying the financial revenue of the affiliated territories. The Financial Services Department's opinion is that 70% of the tax revenue of the dependent territories should be handed over to the Hou Government, and then the Hou Government will allocate it uniformly. ”

Ouyang Shuo frowned, financial power is not an independent individual, it must be unified with the power of affairs.

"In this way, the Finance Department will consult with the economic adviser to formulate a detailed fiscal and tax reform plan, and then discuss the implementation after the territory is promoted." Ouyang Shuo shelved the proposal of the Finance Bureau.

"Okay!" Yingyu said a little deflated.

In the next few days, Shanhai County was completely busy around the promotion task.

The first to make progress is Mission 2 [Chamber of Commerce Entry]. After negotiation between Shanhai County and Cui's Chamber of Commerce, it was agreed that Cui's Chamber of Commerce would set up a branch in Shanhai County to purchase commodities from Shanhai County on the spot, such as seafood and salt from Beihai County, tea and medicinal materials from Lushui County, fur from Youyi County, timber from Yongye County, mountain goods from Gushan County, etc., all within the scope of acquisition by Cui's Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, Cui's Chamber of Commerce also opened shops in Shanhai County, selling scarce goods in Shanhai County, such as stationery, porcelain, spices, jade ornaments, embroidery and so on.

The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce not only promotes the export of territorial commodities, but also enriches the sources of commodities in the territory, further improves the commodity structure of the territory, and stimulates the economy of the territory, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, Cui's Money Village was also introduced to Shanhai County to compete with Sihai Money Village. If most of the loans of Sihai Money Bank are supportive, then Cui's Money Bank is pure investment.

Whether it is the pottery factory outside the city, or Lu Guangzhi's Muniuliu Maga workshop, or even the Xila Lake pearl breeding base in Tianfeng County, they have all become the investment objects of Cui's Qianzhuang.

These invested workshops will usher in another development opportunity.

For these foreign investments, Ouyang Shuo's attitude is one, and those who come will not refuse. Of course, properties controlled by the Property Department of the Financial Services Department, such as Sanhua Distillery, Mulberry Garden, and Tea Garden, are listed as non-investable objects.

In the next step, Ouyang Shuo plans to decentralize the lumber yards and quarries controlled by the Material Reserve Agency and include them in the scope of private investment, and the Material Reserve Agency will only retain strategic resources such as copper, iron ore and gold mines.

All of this is to further revitalize the territorial economy.

The Cui Chamber of Commerce brought not only goods and funds, but also a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen. In the North District Commercial Street, Cui's Chamber of Commerce built a magnificent restaurant - Shanhaiyuan.

Shanhaiyuan integrates catering, accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and more than a dozen chefs bring delicacies from all over the world; The hired drama troupe performs every day, acrobatics, face changing, singing and dancing, everything.

No wonder one of the shareholders of Sangu Restaurant, a small wealth fan, shouted: The wolf is coming!!

For such competition, Ouyang Shuo naturally does not help each other, whether Sangu Restaurant can survive in front of such a strong competitor as Shanhaiyuan depends on the ability of the shopkeeper Gu Sanniang.

The entry of the Chamber of Commerce has injected a pool of living water into the economy of Shanhai County, and Ouyang Shuo is naturally happy to see it.

Task 3 [Cultural Event], the Administration Department also has an eyebrow.

Fan Zhongyan and Xu Shuda, the secretary for culture and education, proposed to hold a grand Mazu temple fair. During the Lantern Festival, Ouyang Shuo had the idea of holding a temple fair, but due to the limited conditions, it could only be changed to the Lantern Festival.

Shiyi time, the current Shanhai County, naturally not comparable to the original Shanhai Town, has the conditions to hold a grand event, coupled with the entry of Cui's Chamber of Commerce, it is to make up for the shortcomings of Shanhai County.

The mission clearly requires that the event should have a certain influence.

Since there is to be influence, those who come to participate in the Mazu temple fair cannot be limited to the people of Shanhai County, but must have people from outside to participate.

Ouyang Shuo's first thought was the allies of the Shanhai Alliance. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate. One is that they are all players, and the other is that the base is too small to have any influence.

In the end, Xu Shuda had a way, and he proposed to spread the deeds of the Mazu temple statue in Shanhai County in Quanzhou, so as to attract the gentry, businessmen, and ordinary people in Quanzhou to come to Shanhai County to participate in the Mazu temple fair.

Ouyang Shuo patted his head, annoyed at his stupidity.

If the aborigines of Quanzhou knew that the Mazu statue appeared in Shanhai County, they would not be excited and fanatical, and they would come here desperately to worship.

As soon as he said it, Ouyang Shuo immediately notified the Shanhai County Office in Quanzhou and started to handle the matter.

In order to achieve a better publicity effect, Xu Shuda also polished the deeds of the Mazu Temple, wrote a gorgeous article, and asked the office to post it in front of the station.

Mazu occupies too important a position in the minds of Fujian people. As soon as the news came out, it immediately triggered a frenzy. At first, they didn't believe it, but when someone teleported to Shanhai County and made a field trip, they saw the faint divine light emitted by the statue of Mazu, and they all bowed and worshipped.

At this point, the news that the miracle of Mazu appeared in Shanhai County spread in Quanzhou at once. There is an endless stream of gentry, businessmen, and ordinary people who travel between Shanhai County and Quanzhou.

Some believers with firm beliefs immediately moved their families to settle in Shanhai County.

The development of things exceeded Ouyang Shuo's expectations. In order to resettle these believers, Ouyang Shuo had to relocate part of the population of Shanhai County to Yongye County and Guangshui County to free up the population quota.

Some anxious believers could not wait for Shanhai County to vacate the population, so they simply chose to settle in Shuishui County, Youyi County and Beihai County, which not only solved the problem of livelihood, but also allowed them to visit the statue of Mazu nearby.

Among them, Beihai County has attracted the most believers. Because a large part of these believers are fishermen, they are not overjoyed to learn that Beihai County is such a place.

Regardless of the issue of faith, the waters of Quanzhou, because of the large number of fishermen, coupled with overfishing, the pressure of competition among fishermen is high, where can it be compared to the undeveloped virgin land such as Beihai Bay.

Every day since then, thousands of aborigines have chosen to settle in Shanhai County, which simply cannot afford to pay for such a huge teleportation fee, so the aborigines can only pay for it themselves. Even so, it can't stop the determination and enthusiasm of the aborigines to believe in Mazu, even if they pay out of their own pockets.

Later, the entire fishing village was moved to Beihai County.

Beihai County made Gu Xiuwen naturally ecstatic, swept away the haze that had been overtaken by Shuishui County before, and made every effort to mobilize all departments and offices in Beihai County to make sure that the relocated aborigines were properly settled.

According to later statistics, the number of Quanzhou aborigines who migrated to Beihai County alone reached more than 10,000. These aborigines are not penniless like the homeless people, they all have a lot of money and drag their families with them.

Beihai County ushered in another development opportunity.

In addition to Beihai County, Youyi County and Lushui County also had five or six thousand immigrants moving in. As for Shanhai County, it occupies the lion's share, with the number of immigrants directly exceeding 20,000 and still growing.

At the same time, it also means that more than 20,000 people have been resettled in Yongye and Guangshui counties, and the population of the two counties has exceeded the 20,000 mark and has been promoted to second-class counties.

40,000 immigrants is a huge number for Shanhai County, but for Quanzhou, it is only a drop in the bucket. (To be continued.) )
