I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The next day, there was a big discount for the grand opening of Heaven and Earth, with a [-]% discount on the entire store, so many businessmen came to support King Ji.

Although the minimum purchase of more than ten dollars is indeed quite expensive, but again, there are many rich people in the world.

And the dandy shareholders also came to experience it. They were not qualified to participate in the occasion yesterday.

So everyone came here early this morning, a large team of more than 100 people, ready to experience all the projects here.

This group of people are people who love to have fun. Since they got rich, they have played in all the major brothels.

Li Shen set a rule for them. Anyone who comes here gets a [-]% discount on their purchases, and no free orders are allowed.

This is to ensure everyone's interests, but this is nothing to this group of dudes.

And you are not allowed to touch the girls upstairs who are not prostitutes. Fighting is not allowed here. Every day someone comes here to watch the scene and prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Li Shen actually doesn't care much about heaven and earth, because he doesn't make much money, it's just fame and elegance, or it can satisfy Li Shen's little inner wish.

What he is thinking now is how to change Datang's agricultural tax to commercial tax, and how to make the powerful people pay taxes. Let the common people become rich, and then he can make more money.

It's just that we need to find a way to work around this, and we can't let the powerful know about it.

If they knew it was Li Shen who suggested it, he might be assassinated again.

After thinking hard for several days, Li Shen finally found a simple and stupid way.

In Li Shen's view, there are only two major headaches for businessmen in paying taxes. First, how to get them to pay taxes proactively, and second, how to get the powerful to pay taxes.

The first thing Li Shen is thinking about now is how to collect taxes from merchants. Many merchants are running businesses. They go through legal inspections or passes, that is, after obtaining licenses and passes, there is no fixed occasion.

So we can only prepare from the wholesale source. Li Shen plans to establish a chamber of commerce first.

Start with Chang'an first, and then expand to the whole country bit by bit.

He plans to set up a chamber of commerce branch in every state and county across the country, so that it will be easier for some businessmen in remote areas to join and conduct assessment and supervision.

He did what he said, and he brought Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu over.

He explained the general outline of what he was thinking, and then said to the two of them:

"What do you think of my method?"

"Your Majesty, it's okay to set up a chamber of commerce like you mentioned, but it won't do us any good. And according to what Your Majesty said, we have to set up branches in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty. That requires a lot of manpower and material resources. We don't want to invest. A lot of money?" Wang Hongfu asked puzzledly

"Old Wang, some things need to be taken into consideration in the long term. You only need to know my requirements. Don't think about anything else. All you have to do is recruit people for me, people who can read, write and calculate clearly. First, Find someone from the Imperial Mansion. If anyone is willing to go, you can sign up. The salary we will pay will definitely be higher than that of ordinary craftsmen. You should go find someone first, and they must be of good character."

Wang Hongfu said he would go and do what Li Shen told him.

"Does the prince want to attack the businessman?"

After Wang Hongfu went out, Wang Xuance asked

"Is it so obvious? I haven't said anything yet." Li Shen was a little confused as to why Wang Xuance knew about it.

"My lord, when you came back drunk that day, all you kept saying was collecting business taxes."

It turned out that Li Shen was a little drunk when he came back from the Queen that day. When Wang Xuance sent Li Shen back to his home, Li Shen said to Wang Xuance that he was collecting business taxes.

"What about this? Fortunately, no one else heard it. It seems that I am not suitable for drinking." What Li Shen thought in his heart was that it shouldn't be, because he was quite good at drinking in his previous life.

"Your Majesty, if this thing is done, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people, but it will not be easy to do. Not to mention that powerful families do not have to pay taxes. Even businessmen, we cannot make them pay taxes on their own initiative, unless we establish national laws. "

"Xuance, the national law is definitely unworkable, but the methods are definitely more difficult than the difficulties. As long as we have a goal, we will keep moving forward for this goal. One day we will complete it." Li Shen began to give Wang Xuance some advice again brainwashing.

"What the prince said is that where there is a will, there is a way. As long as we keep working hard, we will definitely succeed one day." Wang Xuance was refreshed by Li Shen's chicken soup, and he immediately became energetic.

"Well, but Xuance, we have too few manpower. You and I don't think very carefully about many things. Do you have any good candidates in Chang'an who are smart and know how to strategy? Can you find a few like-minded people like us? ." Li Shen realized that he was actually just talking, and only one and a half people were doing the work.

One person is Wang Xuance, and half is Wang Hongfu. There is nothing left.

"Your Majesty, there are many counselors Chang'an, but they all have masters. It is impossible to join us." Wang Xuance thought for a moment

"Okay, let's set up the chamber of commerce first. Starting from Chang'an, it will slowly develop to all states and counties. By the way, how can this kind of thing be avoided without the trouble of those gangs?"

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you. The next day, the fourth Dandy Conference was held grandly at Prince Ji's Mansion in Chang'an.

Attending the meeting were second-generation disciples of Ji Wang Li Shen, Cheng Chuliang, Fang Yiai, Tang Jian and other civil servants and generals.

Although everyone does not know what is going on this time, there must be a way to make money when King Ji holds a meeting.

Although Heaven and Earth is not very profitable, it is the favorite place of this group of people. A group of ten people is responsible for watching the scene, one group a day, three times a month.

This made them have a lot of fun.

Of course, sometimes there are some customers who are not smart or do not understand the rules, who harass the maids, or get jealous and fight each other, but the result is the same, they are severely punished by the dandy who is watching the show and thrown out of the world.

"Brothers, I have called you here to discuss a major matter." Li Shen focused his attention at the beginning.

"I don't know what kind of big thing it is that makes the prince unable to make a decision." Someone asked

"Actually, it's nothing. Yesterday, the king looked through the history books, and there were many biographies of famous people in them. I suddenly thought, life is only a short time of a hundred years, will anyone still remember me a hundred years later?

This king thought about it all night. As long as a person lives, and the grass and trees fall, it is best to leave something behind for future generations to remember.

Who among the men of letters and poets doesn't want to leave his name in history, and who doesn't want to be famous for generations to come? Brothers, don’t you want someone to remember your name a thousand years from now, and for future generations to establish a legacy for you? "Li Shen's tone

"My lord, I think about it, but there are only a few people who have been able to do it since ancient times, and whoever can be passed down through the ages is not a sage or an emperor.

Unless we can be recorded in the annals of history like Sun Pushe, the chief minister of Du Gongfang. Otherwise, we are just a drop in the ocean of historical data. "The speaker is Zhang Liangke. His father has been promoted to the Minister of Justice and concurrently serves as the Prince's Young Master.

"What Liang Ke said is true. It has been like this since ancient times. But this time I come to you for an opportunity, and maybe it will allow you to leave your name in history." Praise first and then change, this is what later generations will learn from success. Skill.

"Your Majesty, just tell me what to do. We will follow." Cheng Chuliang stood up and said. He was not like the children of these civil servants who still considered this and that.
