Chapter 185

At the gate of the town, people come and go, very lively.

It's early in the morning.

There are many villagers who bring their families to grab the salt, and many people in the neighboring villages and towns set off before dawn. According to the regulations, children can also enjoy a share of the sassafras.

This also caused the scene to wow.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of gongs attracts the attention of every commoner who enters or exits the town gate.

Turn around and look.

I saw a person standing on a high platform and beating a gong.

After knocking three times, he shouted, "The guardian has been appointed by the county government and takes office today."

heard the news.

Many ordinary people breathed a sigh of relief.

fine.

There was no one-day trip to the town guard. Although the way forward was unclear, what the new town guard had done in the past two days made them seem to see a glimmer of light.

. . .

The entrance of the downtown area was crowded with people at this moment. Those people who showed up on the street yesterday were all executed and turned into dead souls under swords, but the common people were not afraid at all.

These people do a lot of evil, how many people can't wait to smash them to ashes.

"Don't squeeze!"

"Observe order."

"..."

Compared with yesterday, the soldiers maintaining order today are a little more relaxed, because a large number of wooden fences were manufactured under the overnight rush.

Turn left and turn right.

Crowds are like snakes, limited to a certain range, which is very convenient.

"You are not allowed to jump in the queue. If you are caught, you will be fined a penny and you will have to queue again." Zhou Chun shouted loudly.

After being promoted to chief, he belongs to the guard of the town gate, and he is here today for a rotation.

No way, the voice of maintaining order was hoarse yesterday.

He estimated that he would have to be in pain for a few days, but he was full of energy. He was promoted two grades in a row, so he was naturally in a good mood, and it was a win for the family.

Just yesterday.

The new town guard not only distributed silver one month in advance, but also distributed salt, a full three times.

And expressly stated:

Every month in the future, as a superintendent, he can receive three sassafras salts, free of charge, as a benefit.

Think about it.

Zhou Chun was excited.

Welfare!

This is such a strange and delightful word. Three sassafras salts are enough for a month’s use at home, which means that you don’t need to buy salt in the future.

This new Lord Guardian is really too generous.

. . .

Also in the morning.

The notice posted on the city gate continued to shock the common people. Most of them couldn't understand it, but some people read it specially.

"From now on, the following fifteen types of miscellaneous taxes will be canceled in the town."

"Soldier tax."

"Horse tax."

"Wedding tax."

"Coffin tax."

"..."

After Ye Wu came to power, in order to raise soldiers and horses and make offerings.

A lot of miscellaneous taxes have been increased by cleverly setting up a name, and even marriage and burial cost money.

To be finished.

Everyone couldn't believe that these taxes would be cancelled, and what followed was joy. These exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been on their heads for too long.

only.

My heart beats a drum, what are you doing? Without money, how would the guards support those soldiers?

No one gave them any answers, but when they thought that miscellaneous taxes were almost completely exempted, they became happy again.

Run around to tell each other, and the celebration continues.

. . .

at this time.

The surrounding towns learned of the county government's order.

All of them were quite disappointed. They wanted to eat a piece of meat, but unexpectedly the other party "persuaded" the county magistrate and obtained the legal guard position.

have no choice!

They had no choice but to withdraw the guards sent by Luka.

At the same time, I got the news that the town is still selling first-class salt at half price.

"..."

They stared blankly.

It was sold for a day yesterday, and it's still not sold out?

If it was said that the other party might be preparing to run away before, they sold salt to raise funds, and now that they have obtained the position of guard, there is no need to run away, so why sell at a loss?

Brain pumped it.

"Surely it won't last long."

"Um."

"This fool, it's so cheap, how good it is for me."

"..."

then.

All parties sent people to prepare to discuss it, and sell it to the common people at half price, it is better to sell it to them, so that it will be a profit if it is sold.

"Why did the new guardian abolish so many taxes?"

"Silly."

"..."

Can't figure it out.

It can only be blamed on the fact that the other party has just arrived and wants to win over the hearts of the people, but it's just a little bit more aggressive. It doesn't matter, bandits are bandits, and they don't know how to manage.

When the money is not enough to make a sound, you will know what it means to have a sad life.

Other towns also have funding from the state government.

But in these places occupied by bandits, the appropriation was directly intercepted by the county, and it was not distributed at all. This is also the case, and the county government allowed these people to become legal.

first.

Fighting will kill people, it is better to make money in harmony.

Second.

The appropriation from above can be withheld, and the town will have an offering.

Take it all up and down.

Everyone is happy.

This also made life more and more difficult for some towns after they were occupied by bandits, because there was no funding from the government, and they had to give money to the county town to keep their positions.

For your own safety.

You have to raise a lot of soldiers and horses, and you have to increase the pressure on the people.

Not to mention that the people are destitute, but it is also very difficult.

. . .

It is at this very moment.

Earth.

the capital.

It's the same office.

"Pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant cooperation."

After several rounds of consultation and negotiation, the alloy order project officially entered a substantive stage, and the two parties signed a formal series supply agreement.

The total order value is 500 million RMB.

Everyone is happy.

By agreement.

The government will come forward to settle the loan matters. After all, it is only a supply contract without any fixed assets.

Therefore, official coordination is required.

. . .

Shu Fu paid close attention to the signing of the agreement.

five hundred million.

not much.

But this is just the beginning. There is not a single steel factory in China now, so how big an order can we expect to place, but we have already contacted and inspected it.

Once the loan is down, it can be purchased directly.

Signed.

The negotiating team left without much joy on their faces.

very simple.

In fact.

Such an order is just a supplement. Although those alloys are excellent, they are not irreplaceable. Even with the same performance, they are cheaper than their own ex-factory prices.

But it doesn't have to be.

after all.

From the perspective of a country, if these profits are earned by its own enterprises.

With money, investment in research and development may bring more benefits.

national level.

cost.

it is not important.

This is why I asked whether the money I earned would go abroad.

very simple.

The original estimated manufacturing cost of a product was 100 million yuan, but now, someone can reduce the cost of 100 million yuan to 50 million yuan.

However, the money earned by this company that can reduce costs has to go abroad.

Calculate carefully.

Why use it?

former.

The 100 million RMB is printed by itself, and it can almost be typed out with a computer.

For one's own business, even if it is to build a building, it is spent at home to stimulate the country's economy.

And the latter.

It is to be transferred abroad and consume foreign exchange reserves.

therefore.

Silly!

From the perspective of the upper management, they would rather spend an extra 50 million yuan to support domestic enterprises than to support someone who wants to slip away, unless the product is irreplaceable.

In an absolute monopoly position.

However.

These alloys are not an absolute monopoly, but the cost is lower.

Shu Fu believed that if he dared to say that he had made money and ran away casually, the amount of this order would have dropped by at least ten times. In private enterprises, cost is the ultimate consideration.

But at the national level, cost is only a reference and not the most important factor.

Think that selling low-priced alloys is a seller's market no matter where you go?

Think too much!

Absolute monopoly, no one has what I have, only one company, no substitutes, it is an absolute seller's market.
