After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 411 Negotiation Progress

Of course he knew what Murong Yun said. If a few people could improve the economy of the two districts, would it be their turn? There were all the wealthy businessmen in the east and west of the city.

However, there are very few, almost no, people willing to come to the south and north of the city to do business.

Xiao Jian frowned, as if considering Murong Yun's words.

He had tricked other merchants into doing business with him before, but those merchants not only did not make any money, but lost money and finally fled in a hurry.

In this way, the bad reputation gradually spread, and merchants with a little status simply did not come, and merchants with lower foundations could not withstand the consumption.

Xiao Jian glanced at Murong Yun and Qian Yi. This family of brothers had taken the initiative to open their business here, and they were one of the few that had not liquidated and left.

No matter what, they must be kept here.

"My two dear brothers,"

"I dare not. If you don't mind, you can just call us by our names." Murong Yun quickly responded, and then the two of them stood up and bowed deeply.

"Hey, brothers, what are you doing? We are here to discuss business. Come and sit down. Brother Murong, this is what I mean. I see that your small shop selling cold noodles and cold noodles is doing quite well. There are many people doing the same business in the city now. Can you open a few more?"

Not only that small Liangpi shop, but also the affordable restaurant chain that exists in the four districts of Beijing, seems to have been opened in cooperation with the young master of the Bai family, not to mention the villa outside the city.

Therefore, Xiao Jian would never give up these two big Buddhas no matter what, not only because they are rich, but more importantly, they are capable.

"Sir, that's just a small shop business, it won't make a big difference. If everyone does this, no one will make any money.

Sir, how about you give some preferential treatment to the merchants who come to invest here, such as reducing the tax rate by three to five points? "

When Xiao Jian heard this, he frowned and thought about the problem seriously.

If another businessman said this, he would definitely reject it.

but now......

Maybe I want to do something and need that person's help.

But now is an important period for the court to gradually recover after the ceasefire. Although there is the idea of ​​"promoting agriculture and suppressing commerce", the main source of money in the general environment still depends on taxes from merchants.

Despite this, the status of merchants is still very low, and the concept of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has not changed, which means that merchants are still a very humble profession.

Although the imperial court encouraged business in addition to encouraging farming to increase food, this did not mean that the status of merchants had been improved. They were still looked down upon today.

If he hadn't really admired their ability to make money and was wary of Miss Yang behind them, he would have forced them to open a shop long ago.

"Brother Murong, you should now understand that the current commercial tax system of the court is quite harsh, and the types of taxes collected are very diverse,"

"Yes, sir. I heard that there are some cases of double taxation?" Murong Yun asked as if he knew nothing.

"Ahem, it's probably due to duplication of fees collected by different government offices. Don't worry, this won't happen in these two districts."

"Your Excellency's kindness and righteousness are a blessing to the people." Although Murong Yun was mumbling in his heart, he turned his mouth into various compliments.

"Haha, it's my job." Xiao Jian smiled awkwardly.

He somewhat regretted finding them, thinking that he, a dignified Shao Yin of Jingzhao, seemed to be controlled by them. If he didn't really want to make some political achievements, he would not have been so patient to sit here and discuss anything with them.

So although you can make a lot of money doing business, it is still true that there is no business without fraud.

"Haha, Brother Murong, to be honest, I have no say on this. I still have to report this to my immediate superior, so I cannot agree to your request for the time being.

But don't worry, this matter will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"I want to hear about your next plans. I saw in the plan you gave me that there are plans to open a large business location, but will this take too long?"

That’s right, Qian Duoduo and Murong Yun plan to build a large shopping mall in the southern part of the city.

Of course, this shopping mall must meet the standards of this era.

The presence of a shopping mall can bring many positive and significant impacts to the local economy.

First of all, it can create a large number of employment opportunities, from salesmen, security guards, personnel, cleaners and other positions.

It absorbs labor forces of different levels and skill levels, thus effectively increasing the employment of local people and improving people's lives in a stable and effective manner;

Secondly, as a concentration of commercial activities, the mall attracted many merchants to settle in. The business activities of these merchants would generate considerable tax revenue, providing an important source of financial revenue for the government.

Furthermore, people have more spare money, and the wide variety of goods and diverse consumer choices in shopping malls meet people's growing material and cultural needs.

It stimulated consumers' desire to buy, which in turn led to an increase in consumption levels in the entire region and promoted the development of related industries such as logistics and distribution.

In addition, a successfully operated and distinctive shopping mall can become a landmark building in a city or region, further driving economic growth in the two areas.

In short, a shopping mall is like a powerful economic engine, continuously injecting vitality and momentum into the local economy.

"Yes, this is the second thing I need to trouble you with. We need to find a prosperous place between the south and north districts of the city. Not only must the location be good, but it must also be large enough.

We will buy it when the time comes and use it as the foundation of the shopping mall.

My Lord, if you want to increase tax revenue in a long-term and stable manner, you have to do it slowly. More haste, less speed."

"Ahem, I know what you mean. But if it takes a year or two to see the results, wouldn't I be making wedding clothes for others?"

"Is your Excellency going to be transferred to another position soon?"

"I haven't received any notification yet. Why, Brother Murong...?"

Xiao Jian smiled attentively. Did he get some news from the Fourth Prince? Xiao Jian didn't pay any attention to Murong Yun's meaning.

"Sir, don't worry, as long as we are here for one day, we will do our best.

The reason why I believe in you so much is that I know you are a person with a heart full of thoughts and concerns for the people of the world.

That's because I know very well that you, my Lord, have always cared about the people and always put their well-being first.

I firmly believe that you, sir, will be able to use your wisdom and strategy to obtain more benefits for the people of this land and let them live a stable and prosperous life.

This is undoubtedly a great blessing for the people living in these two areas! With good officials like you who are dedicated to serving the people, their future will be full of hope and brightness. "

Murong Yun stood up, and Qian Yi followed closely behind him. The two of them bowed deeply again to express their admiration for Xiao Jian.
