Chapter 6880 Qin Land Investment

Although the tariffs on the fiefdom trade were abolished, the arrival of these caravans directly stimulated the growth of the local economy and increased the income of all walks of life in the local area. At the same time as the income increased, the personal taxes and commercial taxes that local people needed to pay naturally increased.

The income reduced from the tariffs was compensated by personal taxes and commercial taxes. There was no loss and there was an increase, and the income of local people also increased.

"Brother, there is not enough wine at home. Go to Yang's Winery and buy 20 jars!"

"Third brother, feed the guests' horses."

"Sister-in-law, go and notify the uncle's house to clean up the house."

After the young man came back with his people, he immediately notified his family to start working.

The young man's third brother, the third brother, looked at this scene and sighed: "Mr. Mu is really a god. He asked us to simply renovate the extra rooms. I didn't expect so many businesses to come." The young man smiled and said, "That's right. Mr. Mu is a god who came down from heaven to benefit us, the people of Qin. You didn't go to the street to see it. It's so lively. It's all caravans from outside." The third brother said, "When Mr. Mu announced that he would cancel tariffs, many people said he was a fool. Now it seems that those people are short-sighted." The young man said, "No matter what policy Mr. Mu makes in the future, we will definitely not go wrong as long as we follow his direction!" After a large number of caravans entered Qin, Xiang Chen also asked Han Chang to prepare a business conference, inviting the leaders of major chambers of commerce to attend the conference, and at the same time told Han Chang and others what to do. Qin Wangdu, Xianle Restaurant where the business conference was held. The hall was full of people, no less than thousands of people participated, and basically all the leaders of major chambers of commerce came. "Manager Liu, you are here too." "Haha, Manager Zhu, long time no see." The merchants who knew each other greeted each other when they met. "Your Faraway Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the black ore business. I'm afraid you have made a lot of money this time after the tariffs were cancelled, right?" Shopkeeper Zhu asked with a smile.

"No, no, of course it's not as profitable as your Zhu family's salt and iron business. Yours is the one that makes huge profits. Now there are no tariff restrictions, and the money you make is really enviable." Shopkeeper Liu sighed.

Shopkeeper Zhu said: "But who is Mr. Mu Chen anyway? He can actually let His Royal Highness the King of Qin implement such a policy in Qin."

Shopkeeper Liu said: "I heard that he was a person who was received by Emperor Feng and Emperor Yun in the imperial capital, but it seems that after being rejected by these two majesties, he turned to His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"Haha, you are all behind the news." At this time, a fat man in blue clothes came over with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zhao." The two also knew each other and clasped their fists. They were big merchants in the textile fabric business.

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "I just came back from the imperial capital. Do you know what news I heard in the imperial capital?"

"What news?" Both of them looked curious, and the people around them pricked up their ears.

Shopkeeper Zhao said in a deep voice: "When in the imperial capital, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin personally drove Mr. Mu as a groom and took Mr. Mu to meet the Emperor of Wind and the Emperor of Cloud!"

"What??" The two and the people around who heard it were all in disbelief. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was a groom for Mr. Mu? ?

"Hiss, is it true? How could His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? Is Mr. Mu really so great that he deserves this?" Shopkeeper Liu asked in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled: "There is something even more shocking. Do you know what Mr. Mu said when he met with the Emperor of Wind and the Emperor of Cloud?"

"What did he say?" Many people around came over.

Shopkeeper Zhao whispered: "Mr. Mu directly criticized the Emperor of Wind and the Emperor of Cloud for engaging in internal struggles, and suggested that they abolish the privileges of the powerful, abolish the slavery system, and focus on the development of people's livelihood and economy--"

He roughly repeated the suggestions Xiang Chen made in the imperial capital, and everyone present was stunned and unbelievable.

"This, isn't this going against all the powerful people in the world?"

"Think about it this way, Qin seems to be like this recently. Some time ago, Earl Li took his entire family and all family businesses away from Qin. Guess what? Earl Li's family was attacked by bandits, and no one in the family was left!"

"Hiss——" Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they heard this, and they were shocked and immediately thought of many things.

Shopkeeper Zhu said in a deep voice: "If the privileges of the powerful class can really be abolished, then we businessmen will no longer have to bear their oppression and exploitation in the future."

In the Fengyun Empire, merchants have the lowest social status and belong to the lower nine classes. They belong to the same social class as prostitutes. Even if they are rich, they have no social status and cannot enter the official career or the army.

While everyone was discussing, a group of people came in from outside the hotel.

The man who came was extraordinary, and there were many strong people around him. It was Han Chang.

Everyone suddenly quieted down. Han Chang came to the hall, stood on the stage at the front, and said with a smile: "I am Han Chang, the newly established Deputy Minister of Commerce of Qin. Thank you all for coming to our investment promotion conference."

"Deputy Minister of Commerce?" Everyone felt that this term was a bit new.

But they all stood up and clasped their fists and said: "Hello, Minister Han."

Han Chang smiled and said: "The main purpose of this investment promotion conference is to do business and make friends with all the friends who have come from far away."

"Now everyone knows that we have abolished tariffs in Qin. When you come to Qin to do business, you don't need to pay tariffs. You only need to pay basic commercial taxes. I think this has greatly facilitated everyone."

"But since everyone has come to Qin, I would also like to ask everyone to help the merchants and people in Qin. I hope that everyone can take our Qin goods out and sell them outside on the way back.

We will sell the goods to you at a price that is 10% lower than the local market price. You can sell them outside. It's up to you to set the price and make money."

As soon as these words came out, many businessmen's eyes lit up. Qin naturally has many specialties that are not available outside, such as Qin fruit and Qin plum, which are produced in abundance in Qin. They are fruits loved by many wealthy people outside.

These fruits are very cheap in Qin. Assuming that one catty in Qin is only one tael, it starts at at least five taels outside. When they come to Qin, they will also buy local goods and sell them outside.

"Minister Han, you are too polite. The abolition of tariffs in Qin is to take care of those of us who make money from running errands. If we can help fellow traders in Qin, we will naturally be happy!" The shopkeeper immediately expressed his opinion, and many people followed suit.

Then Han Chang discussed the details of future cooperation with each caravan.
