The severe drought in Guanzhong, although the drought has only just shown a sign, the county government in Lantian County has not made a response policy until now, which makes Li Zexuan a little dissatisfied. No matter what, these officials in the county government definitely have Suspicion of negligence!

Li Zexuan personally came to the Lantian county government office today, and he really wanted to go to the door to raise the teacher to ask the guilt, but when he heard the county magistrate said that the county government was already working on a drought relief plan, his expression turned slightly, and he said:

"It is necessary to repair the canal and open the reservoir! It is best for the county government to start recruiting people in the past two days, and renovate all the main channels in the county with cement. As for the branch canals, it only needs to be cleaned! The wages of the county will be allocated by the county government, and the required cement will be allocated by the Qiquge workshop in a unified manner!”

"Fix the canals with cement?"

The county magistrate was taken aback when he heard the words, and he said with some doubts: "Master Hou, is this a bit too extravagant? And it's not necessary!"

Li Zexuan frowned and said: "Why is there no need? There is already a shortage of water now, and the canals built with cement can reduce the loss of water during the flow of water, and it will be convenient to clean up every year in the future! Do you want to mobilize the people every year to clean up the canals. ?"

The magistrate He swallowed his saliva and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to be an official, Lord Hou is wise!"

Although he also understood that what Li Zexuan said was the truth, he still couldn't accept such an extravagant thing in his heart!

After all, the cement produced by the workshop is still a valuable commodity, and no businessman outside can buy it.

Li Zexuan seemed to have seen through the mind of the magistrate He, and he said:

"The cement in the workshop has never been sold, so it has accumulated a lot of inventory in the past six months. You don't have to worry about the problem of insufficient cement. After the drought is resolved, the county government can organize manpower to replace the cement in the county seat of Lantian County. The roads have also been refurbished. Since we plan to build Lantian County into a commercial city second only to Chang'an City, we must not lose our dignity!

Now it's just renovating the road. In the future, when there are more people in the city, our county must be expanded outside! But that's all for the future, the top priority is to quickly repair the cement ditch! "

The roads in Lantian County are still bluestone roads, but they are also all bluestone roads. The roads in Lantian County are far less smooth than those in Chang'an City. Li Zexuan has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. He can repair the cement road from Yunshan to Chang'an City. Of course, he also needs to repair the road in Lantian County!

The county magistrate was frightened by Li Zexuan's plans to build roads and expand the city, but at the same time, he was also fascinated. If Lantian County could really be built into a commercial city second only to Chang'an City, then His county magistrate is famous all over the world!

The literati have the same name, how can he be an exception?

"Gudong!"

The magistrate He swallowed his saliva and said, "What Marquis said is very true, the lower officials should do their best to assist Marquis!"

Li Zexuan nodded with a smile, and then asked, "How is the scale of business in our city now compared to the past?"

Speaking of this, the county magistrate immediately came to his senses, only to hear him excitedly say:

"Prosperous, Mr. Hou, business in Lantian County is getting more and more prosperous! Where there are people, there are business opportunities. The football league in the past few months has not only attracted a large number of spectators, but also attracted a large number of businessmen to open shops in Lantian County. , tea houses, inns, taverns, the number of these shops and restaurants is three times more than before. The monthly business tax collected by the county government is almost five to ten times that of previous years! If things go on like this, the business tax in our county will Exceeding the land tax is just around the corner!"

"Yeah! These are still to be expected. What Ben Hou wants to ask is, with the rapid development of business in Lantian County, are there any new problems in the middle?"

Li Zexuan nodded and asked.

Football is one of the most attractive sports. Lantian County hosted a part of the football league this time, and it was expected by Li Zexuan that it could attract so many businessmen. No exaggeration, there will inevitably be hidden dangers in the middle!

"Uh...."

Hearing Li Zexuan's question, a look of embarrassment appeared on He County Magistrate's face. After hesitating for a while, he said:

"Master Hou, this is not without problems. The most prominent problem is that as the number of shops in our county town gradually increases, there are more and more local hooligans who are looking for businessmen to collect protection fees! After blackmailing, they will also come to the county government office to report to the officials. After the arrest of the local ruffians, the merchants who report to the officials are often retaliated after the incident. The most serious thing is that there is a silk shop suddenly inexplicable one night. The ground is on fire! After the news spread, few of those merchants came back to report to the officials!"

Hearing this, Li Zexuan's expression turned cold, and he said sharply, "How could such a thing happen? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"This..."

The county magistrate opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Zexuan said angrily: "This is your dereliction of duty by the county magistrate! Those local ruffians just want to use these little tricks to make businessmen feel fearful, so as to achieve the purpose of extorting protection money! If the county magistrate does not act, how can it be Didn't it fuel the arrogance of those hooligans?

If things go on like this, the business environment of our Lantian County will get worse and worse, and it will even become notorious! Now there are football leagues to help us attract customers, but after the football leagues are over?

What are you going to use to keep them? "

It was the first time that the magistrate He saw Li Zexuan lose his temper, and his face could not help turning pale. After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he hurriedly handed over:

"What the Marquis taught is that in the future, Xiaguan will do his best to clean up these gangsters in the city. However, those people will rub oil on their feet as soon as they see the wind and grass. If you want to catch them, you will need a lot of manpower! Let's go! There are only about fifty people in the three shifts of the county yamen..."

"If you don't have enough staff, you will expand the enrollment! Lantian County is no longer the small county town it used to be. You must also relax your vision of the county magistrate. The three shifts of yamen in this county must be at least 100 people! You must wait. Do a good job of public security in the city, and resolutely protect the safety of the people and businesses!"

Li Zexuan interrupted He County Magistrate mercilessly and said.

This yamen is different from the army. Li Zexuan will expand his recruits if he wants to. There is no need to worry about someone impeaching him!

"Yes yes yes! The next official will go to do it later!"

The magistrate He quickly surrendered and said yes.

Li Zexuan turned around and said with his hands behind his back:

"In addition, Ben Hou also intends to set up a Commerce Department in the county government to deal with conflicts between businessmen's tax collection and ordinary disputes. The purpose of Ben Hou's special establishment of the Commerce Department is to tell those businessmen that they can enjoy the benefits in Lantian County in the future. to the same treatment as ordinary people, without being discriminated everywhere!

The grading of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants will only be divided into scholars and commoners in Lantian County! Although the children of merchants cannot participate in the imperial examinations, they can still go to the county school in the county seat, and they can also be admitted to the Yanhuang Academy in the future! "

Before that, the merchants in Lantian County were helplessly bullied by the local ruffians, but the county magistrate He did not do his best to help. The reason was the low status of the merchants in this era.

The reason why those merchants in the back dare not report to the government anymore, in addition to worrying about the helpless revenge of the local ruffians, another important reason is that they feel that even if they report to the government, the government will not take their affairs to heart, and it is better to spend money Forget the disaster!

Li Zexuan wanted to change the status quo, but he did not radically elevate the status of businessmen to a very high level, at least not as high as in modern times. He just divided businessmen into the civilian class. As a result, the opposition forces he received would Much smaller!

Hearing this, the magistrate's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, it's absolutely impossible, I'm afraid this move is very wrong!"

"What could be wrong? Ben Hou respects the rights of scholars, and does not give any special treatment to businessmen, but only divides the merchants and craftsmen in Lantian County into the commoner class. Who would object? This Department of Commerce, you first Send someone to take care of it, if your people don’t do well, then the Marquis will personally send someone to take charge, but then the Commerce Department will not be able to listen to your dispatch!”

Li Zexuan said very strongly.

A superior, if he always treats his subordinates with a pleasant face, it will make the subordinates lose their sense of awe, and thus slack off on their own work. The magistrate He is like this now, and Li Zexuan wants to take this opportunity to beat him well. !

Seeing that Li Zexuan was so tough and decisive, the magistrate He could no longer refute, he could only hand in hand: "I will follow the orders, and I will try my best to manage this business department for the Hou Ye!"

Li Zexuan's expression turned slightly pale, he nodded and said, "There are gains and losses in this world. Businessmen have obtained a good and stable business environment, so they have to pay corresponding taxes to the government. In the past, the ratio of 30 to 1 business tax was not advisable. After the establishment of the company, all shops in the county seat of Lantian County must report the profit of the month to the Department of Commerce every month, and pay business tax according to six of the profits of the month! Businessmen who underreport or even evade taxes will be severely punished!"

Li Zexuan felt more than once that the ancient business tax ratio was too low, taking one out of thirty, and putting it aside in modern times, the business tax should be at least 17%, right? Anyway, it is definitely an abnormal phenomenon that the agricultural tax is greater than the commercial tax! Why do poor farmers pay more taxes than rich merchants? It's not fair!

In the past, Li Zexuan was not in his position and did not seek his political affairs. Now that he has subdivided a county, he is naturally capable and obliged to intervene in this matter!

When the magistrate He heard "one out of six", he instantly became uneasy! This is a living increase of the business tax five times, is this still worth it? He hurriedly said: "Master Hou, absolutely! With such a heavy business tax, how can those businessmen still be willing to do business in Lantian County?"

Li Zexuan said flatly: "I haven't tried this yet. How can you know that the businessmen don't want to be the magistrate? The protection fee they pay to the ruffians every month is definitely far greater than this amount. As long as the county magistrate can help them Get rid of these hooligans and ensure that they have a stable and good business environment. They will definitely be happy to accept this proportion of business tax!

All in all, doing business in Lantian County, they can not only get the treatment of normal people, but also not be harassed by local gangsters, and their children can also receive a good education from the county schools. Absolutely can't enjoy it, right?

In addition, in the future, the goods of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce will be preferentially supplied to the merchants in our Lantian County town. As a result, Ben Hou does not believe that there are merchants who are unwilling to accept this tax rate~! "

Listening to Li Zexuan's analysis one by one, the magistrate He couldn't help but feel a little moved. In all fairness, if he was a businessman himself, he might be willing to come to Lantian County to do business. Too much, it can only be said that the previous commercial tax was too small, even if it doubled five times, it was not much! Totally worth the money compared to the many benefits you get!

"The Lord Hou's words are reasonable, then the lower officials quickly recruited the people to repair them.

The water channel, on the one hand, established the Commerce Department, and cracked down on the local gangsters in the city, creating a good business environment for the merchants! "

After thinking for a moment, the magistrate He bowed his hands.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Yeah! The construction of the canal must be carried out in a hurry. It is best to start the construction in two days. After the canal is completed, the dam will open the gate to release water. Hou will find a way to transport the water there!"

"Yes! Lord Hou~!"

Although the magistrate He did not know how Li Zexuan could transport the water to a higher place in the north, but Li Zexuan didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only say yes!

When Li Zexuan saw that he had already confessed, he turned around and was about to leave. Before leaving, he gave a light command, "The local gangsters in the city are the cancer of Lantian County, and they must be treated ruthlessly. Some local ruffians openly rebelled against the government, you just send someone to tell me, this marquis will bring someone to destroy them!"

The fluttering words were full of murderous aura, and the county magistrate froze in his heart, and then he remembered that the young man with a clean face and a scholar-like appearance in front of him was a ruthless character who started killing people and exterminating people in the Snake Spirit Mountain. A moment of silence for the hooligans in the city, and I think that you'd better be honest and capture them, otherwise, what awaits you is only complete annihilation!

………………………………

After leaving the county office, Li Zexuan went directly to the Xinhou Mansion to the east.

The Hou residence and the county government are not far apart, only one square apart, so Li Zexuan quickly arrived in front of the Hou residence.

"Oh! That's right! What's the name of the workshop where Hou's mansion is located?"

Walking to the door, Li Zexuan suddenly had a question in his heart and couldn't help but ask it.

Since he is going to move back in the future, he must know the address of his home, right?

What he asked was naturally the two brothers Liu Feng and Liu Yun behind him!

Hearing this, Liu Feng couldn't help laughing and said:

"Hehe! Lord Hou, it seems that this workshop was originally called Yunfufang, but I heard that the magistrate He changed the name of this workshop a month ago. Now it should be called Yonganfang~!"

"Oh? What else?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he didn't like his subordinates flattering, he had to say that the county magistrate was good at flattering! It just touched his heart!

"It's a good name change! Yunfufang, Pregnant Women's Square, hehe! Yonganfang is always better than Yunfufang~!"

Li Zexuan smiled, then raised his foot and walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.
