After crossing, I spoil my husband

Fu Mingyou didn't know what everyone was thinking. After there was no sound inside, Fu Mingyou said seriously: "The following auction is the road section from Li State to Chen State on the left, from Xiahui City to the junction of Chen State, starting at 50 yuan , each time the price increase is not less than [-]."

Immediately after Fu Mingyou's voice fell, the voice of indecision rang out.

I don't know if it was because His Majesty was there, but the people present were very excited, and the price of this section of the road soon reached 80.

"87."

The well-known cloth merchant owner directly held up a sign and said, but this price is a bit high for other people who come to the capital. After Fu Mingyou counts to three, it will directly settle in the hands of the cloth merchant owner.

"Congratulations, Boss Zeng, the next auction is the famous glazed screen in the palace, please take a look."

After the guard took out the glass screen, he introduced it directly and carefully.

Everyone looked at the screen in front of them, and they all opened their mouths in amazement. This screen is really super beautiful. Putting it in the room will definitely add a color to the room.

Of course, this screen couldn't be higher than His Majesty's starting price. In the end, the price of 18 taels fell to a well-known jewelry merchant. The other party bought it for his mother. After all, this merchant still knows that his mother loves such things very much.

The auction proceeded bit by bit. After the roads leading to other countries were auctioned, Fu Mingyou would mainly auction roads in key areas.

They just auctioned some, after all, not all roads are suitable for doing business.

When Fu Mingyou said that the section of road in the suburbs of Beijing also needed to be auctioned, many people began to bid, but some people didn't really care about that section of the road. After all, their home is not in the capital. There may be some troubles along the way.

"The starting price for this section of the road in the suburbs of Beijing is 20 taels, and the price increase is not less than 1 taels each time."

Fu Mingyou smiled. He didn't tell everyone that the suburbs of Beijing will start rectification next, but the price shows that it will definitely not be that simple.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised. Everyone present is also a good businessman, commonly known as the old fox. After careful consideration, they know that the suburbs of Beijing must have something to do.

But some people have already spent a lot of money on auctioning other road sections before, so they are a little bit unwilling and powerless on this road.

"28."

After Mu Xingzhou heard about other people's bidding, he immediately raised his sign.

He is not short of money now, and his goal is only one, and the rest is indifferent to him.

Fu Mingyou just stood on it, watching everyone increase their prices bit by bit.

Everyone present here also knows Mu Xingzhou, and knows that the other party’s home is in the capital, so they must have ideas, so many people have a friendly attitude and did not bid too much. In the end, this section was sold for 48 taels. The price is sold.

For this price, Mu Xingzhou is still very satisfied. Before bidding before, Fu Mingyou told him that as long as he bids, he will definitely not lose money. That's why Mu Xingzhou dared to be so bold.

This auction lasted for three hours, and by the end, everyone was exhausted.

However, it was only the merchants who were tired, but Fu Mingyou, Mu Shangshu, Cen Shangshu, Lord Qian, and His Majesty who was very excited behind were all very satisfied.

"Thank you for coming to this auction."

In the end, both Cen Shangshu and Mu Shangshu came out. These businessmen all knew them, and they never saw them on weekdays. They didn't expect to see them here.

Everyone quickly greeted them. Although they have money, they don't have enough rights.

"At today's auction, everyone must be thinking, why is the official road being auctioned now?"

Mu Shangshu looked at the crowd and smiled, then asked them to take out something, and said: "Next, we will use this thing to re-pave an official road, at least two carriages can be used."

Everyone looked at the thing carried out by the guards, and their eyes were straight. If this is really the case, it would be great. This thing is flat, but it is much better than the current official way.

"So that's the case, thank you Lord Mu for clarifying the confusion."

"If it's really so flat, then starting from the state capitals, you can get there soon."

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all planning to lose money in the business, but now it seems that there is no need for it at all. Once the distance is shortened, then for them, the principal will also be reduced.

Fu Mingyou looked at everyone and smiled, and said: "Bosses, please sign the document. This is in triplicate. We will record it in the official uniform, and then the Ministry of Industry and you will each keep a copy. At the same time, bosses, please send the money. Prepare it within three days and hand it over to the household department."

"Alright, let's sign."

"Triple copies, okay, okay."

"Master Fu, did you really just take office? And why do you know so much about business?"

In fact, when Fu Mingyou settled accounts before, they were all frightened. None of them in official uniforms knew the way of businessmen.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "Actually, before the imperial examination, I was also in business."

After everyone heard this, they nodded in understanding. No wonder the other party is so familiar with the affairs of the business field. It turns out that the other party is also in business.

After everyone signed the document, Fu Mingyou told them that they must hand over the banknote or cash to the household department within three days, otherwise it will become invalid after the time has passed.

Everyone agreed, and after leaving Yuelaike, they hurried back to prepare money.

This time, each of them brought a lot of money. To be honest, they spent less money than they thought. If Fu Mingyou knew what they thought, he would definitely sigh that he was really an old gourd and regretted it. The starting price was not set higher.

But even so, for His Majesty and the others, the silver is considered a huge sum of money.

There are a total of 350 treasures. The wine alone has 1000 million taels of silver, and the road auctions add up to almost [-] million taels. This is definitely enough for road construction.

"Your Majesty?" After Fu Mingyou walked in, he found that His Majesty seemed to be in a trance, so he immediately called softly.

His Majesty looked at Fu Mingyou, and blurted out: "Fu Mingyou, why don't you take turns doing things in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry?"

This man is simply a genius. Not long after he took office, he added 1000 million taels of silver to the national treasury. This is unique. With this silver, the soldiers on the frontier don't have to worry anymore.

Hearing this, Fu Mingyou couldn't help but smile. He looked at His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the most profitable business is taxation."

Mu Shangshu and the others sat aside. At this moment, no one wanted to leave, even if they were a little hungry.

"Take the jewelry merchant in the glass screen that was photographed just now." Fu Mingyou smiled, "He is a well-known jewelry tycoon in the Li country and even the nearby Chen country. Miscellaneous, at least 20 taels of profit a year. We collect commercial tax on the basis of 6000% of the profit. Calculated, a person has a tax of 5000 taels, even if the tax is deducted. Ten out of ten, there are more than [-] taels."

"So that's the case, this person is only 5000 taels, so there are so many businessmen in our Li country, there are indeed a lot of them."

Mu Shangshu reacted very quickly. No wonder Fu Mingyou proposed to let merchants pay taxes after he knew that there was no commercial tax in Li country.

Fu Mingyou looked at the crowd, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, our ordinary boss's surname is only a dozen taels of silver a year, but they all have taxes, shouldn't merchants have them?"

"It's just that, Xiao Fu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement."

Although it is ideal, those merchants may not be willing to pay.

Cen Shangshu took a sip of tea and said with a little worry.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and then smiled slyly: "So, there must be a reward mechanism."

His Majesty looked at him curiously, with a look of interest: "What is the reward mechanism?"

Fu Mingyou smiled and said: "We can do this, as long as those who are willing to pay taxes and pay taxes truthfully, every three years, we will set up a monument of big taxpayers in various places, put their names on it, and praise them .”

After listening to Fu Mingyou's words, everyone understood in their hearts, that's what it meant.

His Majesty smiled, then looked at the adults, and said: "I will leave this matter to the adults. If there is a commercial tax, the treasury will be more abundant, so the soldiers' monthly money will still be used for food." Don't worry about it."

Mu Shangshu and others responded immediately, saying: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely do this well."

The Imperial Army escorted His Majesty back to the palace, and Fu Mingyou and the others simply had dinner at Yuelaigu, mainly so that everyone could discuss this matter.

After everything was over, Fu Mingyou went back.

The next day can be said to be the most exciting day in the history of the household department.

Mu Shangshu and Mr. Cen brought a lot of people to check and collect money from these merchants in person. The news was spread ten to ten times, and those who bought things at the auction hurried over to pay the money.

Fu Mingyou is not a fool, not to mention the merchants, they can get the goods only after paying the money.

"My God, after working in the Ministry of Accounts for so long, this is the first time I've seen so much white money."

"I have to say that Fu Mingyou from the Ministry of Industry is really amazing."

"My lords, do you think it is very possible for us to poach Fu Mingyou to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"Such a good seedling, why did he go to the Ministry of Industry?"

"Yes, yes, you should work in the household department."

Seeing so much white money going into the national treasury, the ministers of the household department are all considering the possibility of bringing Fu Mingyou into the household department.

At this time, Fu Mingyou, who was working in the Ministry of Industry, only felt his nose itchy and sneezed, and several craftsmen on the side looked at each other, and immediately asked worriedly: "My lord, have you been too busy recently? Don't you have a cold?"

It's October now, and it's starting to get cold. If one accidentally catches the wind and cold, it will be uncomfortable.

Fu Mingyou waved his hands indifferently, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, someone must be talking about me."

"Hahaha, I heard that many people went to the Ministry of Accounts to send money today, so I am sure that the adults in the Ministry of Accounts think that you are wasting talents in the Ministry of Industry."

Upon hearing this, some craftsmen said with a smile, and the others couldn't help laughing too.

It may be because Fu Mingyou is more approachable, or it may be that the craftsmen need help with something, so they run frequently and get acquainted with each other. These craftsmen have the best feeling for Fu Mingyou.

How should I put it, when other adults communicate with them, there will always be a feeling of a high-ranking person, but Fu Mingyou does not, and the craftsmen can feel that in front of Fu Mingyou, they are just like the other party and have no status There is a difference between high and low, which is why the craftsmen like Fu Mingyou so much.

Fu Mingyou rubbed his nose and smiled, and then said: "Don't make fun of me, our movable type printing is almost ready for use."

"Yes, yes, it's almost there. Speaking of which, the waterwheel we made before is now being used all over the country of Li. My nephew in my hometown even wrote a letter to say that the waterwheel in our house is really amazing. After knowing that it was done by our Ministry of Industry, I was very happy, and said that I should study hard and enter the Ministry of Industry in the future."

A craftsman looked at Fu Mingyou and said with a smile.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, and said, "After movable type printing and papermaking come out, we in Liguo may be able to realize that everyone can study and let the little nephew work hard. We will all be waiting for him in the Ministry of Industry."

The craftsman agreed excitedly. In the future, his little nephew will really enter the Ministry of Industry and become a good official who benefits the country and the people. Of course, this is just a later story.

Fu Mingyou took everyone to experiment with movable type printing, and found that it was really much faster. The speed was a hundred times faster than before. He was very happy.

Now the people in the household department are still collecting money, some people bring cash, some people bring bank notes, anyway, the scene is still very big.

His Majesty also knew that someone came to send money, and he was very happy. If his status did not allow him, he would definitely go over to have a look. Not to mention, this kind of treasury is really comfortable, so next year, he must send money to the merchant. The tax thing has been implemented.

Fu Mingyou was busy with movable type printing, and now that the auction had been finalized, before it was too cold, he quickly started paving the road, of course starting from the capital first.

Fu Mingyou intends to keep an eye on this matter of paving the way from beginning to end, because there will be various things in it, if you don't keep an eye on it, there will definitely be vegetarian food or even greedy ink.

It's just that this matter is not so easy. It's not that Fu Mingyou thinks that this right cannot be taken down, but that it is difficult to keep an eye on this matter from the beginning to the end. After all, he still has family members. Yanxi also worked too hard.

Fu Mingyou roughly had an idea in his mind, but this idea had to be approved by His Majesty, so he simply went to find His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Master Xiao Fu is here."

Because Fu Mingyou is not very old, and his official position is not very high, but he is an official, so the father-in-laws around His Majesty all call him Mr. Xiao Fu.

Fu Mingyou waited outside, and then waited until his father-in-law announced that he had entered before entering.

Because many people know what Fu Mingyou did, and everyone knows that the other party is capable, His Majesty also directly stated that if Fu Mingyou has anything to do, you can go to him directly.
