The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Knowing that Li Wen had to go to work here, Yang Shaomu didn't keep Li Wen here any longer, "It's good for Ah Yi to stay here with Gu, if you want to be busy, go and do it, don't worry about Gu, just sit here for a while and you'll be fine." gone."

"Yes, Your Highness, then I will take my leave first." There was a meeting to be held in the afternoon, and Li Wen didn't have time to chat with His Royal Highness here, since His Highness didn't need him to accompany him, he went to work first.

Zhao Xiangyi looked at the young man who left, and stayed here to continue drinking tea with the prince.

It only took a short time to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, and Li Wen was sure that His Highness the Crown Prince was really just here for a walk today, and had no intention of joining the chamber of commerce this time.

But he really doesn't have time for this meeting. The afternoon meeting will start soon. During this time, he will call his subordinates to have a small meeting. Some people come to him to report all kinds of things outside. He still needs to be in charge of the matter.

Before the meeting started, after a short break, Li Wen appeared in the venue again.

In the afternoon, the lengthy meeting will continue, but we will arrange a period of time for everyone to express their opinions freely and express their thoughts.This day's meeting ended in the middle of the afternoon, probably around five o'clock in the afternoon.

After the meeting on the first day is over, all businessmen can go back on their own and come back to the meeting on the second day.

However, when others went back to rest, Li Wen continued to hold meetings with his subordinates here, summarizing today's meeting, and discussing tomorrow's meeting itinerary and meeting-related content, etc. This discussion took more than an hour. The hour was over.

It's going to be dark outside.

After the discussion was over, Li Wen asked everyone to have dinner here before going back, and he left in a hurry.Pushing open the door of the wing room, he saw the man standing inside. Zhao Xiangyi turned his head, looked at the young man who came in, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Our Master Li is done?"

"No way, it's only the first day, and I'm still busy. Mr. Zhao, have you been waiting for a long time?" Li Wen walked over to the man, inserted his hands into the man's waist, and put his hands on the man's waist upstairs. His face was buried in the man's chest.

Zhao Xiangyi put his arms around the boy and waited for you for a day, what do you think?

"Are I so busy?" I'm still very tired, my throat hurts from talking today, and the majestic Mr. Li just wants to act coquettishly with his man at this moment.Zhao Xiangyi couldn't help laughing, "Hehe..." He stroked the boy's back with his hand, dragged him to a chair and sat down, and poured him a cup of tea thoughtfully, "Come on, drink some water, you know you are tired.,'

After the two had a simple meal here, they left together.

The next day, the meeting continued.

With the experience of the previous day, these businessmen came to the meeting with an empty stomach, so that they could continue to give away a free and delicious meal. They don’t care if it’s free or not. The focus is on the deliciousness of the food, whether it’s delicious or not!So early in the morning, the cafeteria attracted a large number of guests, and the chefs and apprentices in the kitchen were all busy.

Fortunately, a group of people have been added to the kitchen recently, otherwise the original few people would really be too busy

The pastries and snacks in the lobby outside were taken away one by one, and those who came later were gone, so they could only eat some noodles and pancakes, but the noodles and pancakes tasted much better than the noodles and pancakes they had eaten in the past .For these gourmets who love to eat, this trip to the capital is really worth it.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious!"

"Ok, ok, ok

One by one, they left contentedly after eating. The chubby businessman wiped his moustache and hiccupped while walking. .

Of the ten fat people, maybe nine of them were eaten.

When the meeting started, Mr. Li appeared at the venue in good spirits again, and said at the beginning, "It's a pleasure to see you all again."

"Our meeting will continue next." Li Wen slightly mentioned a few questions raised and concerned by some businessmen yesterday, and he answered these questions one by one, and then continued today's meeting content, today's meeting The content is mainly about the development of trade, the transportation and circulation of commodities around the world and so on.

At the meeting, Li Wen put forward two points. One is that the government plans to build two roads, one is from the capital to Xiangzhou, and the other is an official road from the capital to Nanyang, and post stations will be set up along the way; the second is to build a post office. , The main function of the post office is to deliver goods, which can quickly transport goods from various places to another place.

As long as these two roads are built, basically from the south to the capital, from the capital to the north, or from the north to the capital,

Then go from the capital to Nanyang, which can save a long distance.

There is also about the opening of the water transport. A major problem with the water transport is that the water bandits are too rampant, hijacking passing ships, and even killing people and taking goods.In fact, traveling by water is the most convenient way to travel from the south to the capital. Nowadays, many businessmen dare not take the water rashly, for fear of encountering water bandits.

So if you want to reopen the water transport, you must deal with the water bandits on the river.

Li Wen clearly expressed the intention of the imperial court here, meaning that the imperial court will send troops to deal with these water bandits

As for the construction of roads, it is not without profit. It is a joint operation between the government and the people. The post stations along the way can be operated and managed by businessmen from all over the country, while the post office is government-run and allows businessmen to inject capital.However, with regard to these two issues, Li Wen only raised them here first, and made it clear that they will be discussed later at the investment promotion conference. "At the next investment promotion conference, if you are interested in this businessman, you can pay attention."

Road construction has always been a matter of costing a lot of money with little benefit, and no one has always been willing to do it.The former dynasty spent a lot of money to build roads, and then the former dynasty was destroyed, and the roads from south to north were not built.However, according to what Master Li said, they have invested money in cultivating the truth, and it will not be completely useless

As long as there is a profitable business, these businessmen are all a little bit excited.

Li Wen: It’s good if you feel excited, hurry up and prepare your silver taels, and put in a lot of silver, I guarantee you won’t lose money!Think about those bigwigs who are engaged in logistics in the future, which one is not worth more than [-] million?You can never lose money in this business, and making big money is just around the corner!

However, Li Wen wanted to build these two avenues. In addition to one for civilian use, there is actually another great use for military use. If there is a natural disaster or an invasion of soldiers from an enemy country, their soldiers can quickly arrived at the border to support.

There is also the development of the post office. One is mainly to transport goods, and the other is that letters from various places pass through the post office. Invisibly, they are equivalent to mastering the logistics and information of various places.

At noon of the day, Li Wen invited several businessmen from Southland to have lunch.

Same as the day before, he mainly wanted to chat with businessmen from all over the place to learn about the situation in each place. The goods produced in the north and the south are different. The northerners like the silk products and tobacco porcelain in the south.

The south is a land of fish and rice, and the fruits and rice it produces are very easy to sell when transported to the capital, but the fruits are inconvenient to transport, and they have already rotted during transportation. This is why some fruit products from the south cannot be transported to the north. .

Therefore, for the transportation of goods, they urgently need to build a convenient road that allows horses and horses to be transported quickly.If the roads can be built, it will actually be the businessmen who will benefit. Now that the government is in charge and responsible, they can consider whether to participate in it.

If other officials are in charge, they may not be at ease. If Master Li is in charge of this matter, they still believe in Master Li's character, so these businessmen think in their hearts whether this matter is worth doing , Is it worth letting them invest a lot of money in it.

"It turns out that the adults didn't miss them, but waited to see them again today."

"But why are they ranked behind those savages in the North?" The merchants in the South were thinking angrily in their hearts, but they could see Mr. Li, these merchants from the South were under the reserved appearance Still a little excited inside.

After these two days of meetings, they heard some questions raised by Mr. Li, and some of the questions they thought of were things they had never thought about before.It's no wonder that other people are able to win the first prize at a young age, and they can also be reused by the emperor. It is indeed Li Liuyuan, Mr. Li, who has his excellence.After the two-day meeting, these businessmen inevitably began to think about how they could do better business and earn more taels.

And now there is a very good opportunity in front of them, as long as they seize it, their net worth may be doubled again.

The meeting on the second day ended smoothly, and the third day was the last day of the meeting.

The meeting on the last day is also a summary of the three-day meeting, and the most important point is to formulate a preliminary business plan and preliminary business development rules around business development and planning.

Li Wen mentioned the tax reform currently implemented in the capital, and asked, "What do you think about the new tax law currently implemented in the capital? Do you think the new tax law is better, or the original tax law?"

Businessmen present: Of course it is the new tax law!

Someone asked when the new tax law will be implemented in the following places like here in Beijing.

Hearing the voice below, Li Wen understood everyone's meaning in his heart, "As for the implementation at the local level, we have to wait until the end of the year to see how the situation here in the capital is, whether it is suitable for the entire Dacheng, and implement it in all major provinces.

It can only be decided after agreement.But here I can tell you that as long as something is good and suitable, it must be implemented. "

So the underlying meaning of these words is to tell the businessmen here that the new tax law is likely to be implemented locally.

However, in order to achieve good results at the local level, it is not enough to formulate rules at the top, but also to have people who implement them at the bottom.However, Li Wen did not tell everyone about these issues for the time being. This is not an issue that these businessmen can handle, but an issue that they should officially handle.This depends on the influence and execution of their Ministry of Industry and Commerce. They are still discussing this issue, but this issue is not their own issue, but a problem with the entire organization. Therefore, it is a top-down reform. is required.

It's just that he still lacks such ability and influence now, and the time has not yet come. When the time is ripe, all problems will no longer be problems, and all problems can be solved.

At noon on the third day, Li Wen met some businessmen from the capital side. Although he was here in the capital city, he had no dealings with the businessmen from the capital side.These businessmen in the capital know more about this Master Li than the businessmen from other places know about this Master Li.

Some businessmen in the capital know how many shops Mr. Li has under his name, and the business of those shops is nothing to say here in the capital, which is very good.Others are good at being officials and doing business so well, so they have to admire them in their hearts.Taking this opportunity, another businessman proposed to cooperate with Zhuangmengge

Li Wen didn't expect someone to mention Xiang and Zhuangmengge, he said, "The steward in charge of these matters is not in the capital recently, after he comes back, can I ask him to contact you?" On this occasion, he didn't I want to talk about these personal and business matters.

"Okay, okay." The businessman didn't expect Master Li to be so eloquent.

During this meeting, the businessmen in the capital had a good impression of Li Liuyuan and Mr. Li.

"The three-day business conference has come to a successful conclusion today." Li Wen announced, "If there are no accidents in the future, the business conference will be held every three years. Here, on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, I would like to thank everyone for coming , and participation. Two days later, there will be a business promotion conference, and I hope to see you all at the business promotion conference.”

After giving everyone a slight nod, Li Wen left with his people first.

After the meeting ended, these merchants were still reluctant to leave, but seeing that Mr. Li had already left, it was useless for them to stay here, so they could only go out with their acquaintances to find a place to sit down and talk Discuss whether or not to participate in some of the things that Mr. Li mentioned in the three-day meeting.

However, after these three days of meetings, many businessmen still feel that it is worthwhile to come to the capital. Many issues mentioned in this meeting are closely related to their businessmen. If they miss it, they will have to wait for three years Only then will you have the opportunity to participate.

There is also the investment promotion conference two days later, they must not miss it!

At this time, Li Wen convened all the subordinates below to come back and held a summary meeting, "Everyone has worked hard in the past three days, and the smooth holding and successful conclusion of the business meeting is due to each of you.

With the words of their adults, no matter how hard they worked, it was worth it!
