"And those Western Regions Restoration Acts, what exactly are they?" Yan asked suspiciously.
"Those who returned from the Western Regions are the same as me. They are also nobles. After the country perished, they lost everything, land, slaves, women, and other things. All their things were lost." Ami Khan said arrive.
"They are not reconciled, so they want to get back their own things, so they want to restore the country, but the country needs a lot of things, guns, money, cloth, and various materials, these materials need The numbers are unprecedented," Ami Khan said.
"But the restoration of the Western Regions are all down-and-out aristocrats. They don't have so much money at all, nor do they have so many products and materials. They don't do business, but they want to restore the country. They are simply dreaming. Now They found a good opportunity, and they found me. They found a businessman like me, and they took the muskets they bought and robbed me of everything." Ami Khan said.
"All the things I gained from doing business were lost at once," Ami Khan said.
Hearing this, Yan understood something. These so-called restoration of the Western Regions actually had an army composed of a group of down-and-out nobles from the Western Regions. Business, they can live well, but these Western Regions revived, they do not do business, they get nothing, the end result is that those Western Regions people who do business are getting richer and richer, but they are getting richer and richer. The poorer they are, the final consequence is that these people retaliate wildly against them. In the name of restoring the country, they comprehensively expropriate their property. This is naked robbery because such robbery will definitely not attract a large number of Western Regions support.This point, Yan is very clear.
But at this time, Yan understood that the core of this riot may have a lot to do with the people of the Western Regions.
"What do you think about this matter?" Yan told the mayor of Baikou Town what he knew about the restoration of the Western Regions.
"This is a very important piece of information. I think it can be reported to the higher-ups. If the higher-ups know, they may take redundant measures. At present, we don't know who the main enemy is, and now we finally know." Xu Zhen. Long said.
"Well. I'll telegraph it to the Ministry of Defense." Yan said with a smile.According to the important value of this piece of information, he will get a lot of money in return, and the senior officials of the Qin State will also know the important value of this piece of information, and the Western Regions will be restored.

"The matter of the bank has made some progress. Wen" Zhang Liang said to Lou Jing.
"Oh." Lou Jing nodded.He didn't know what kind of relationship the progress of the bank's affairs had, and what kind of benefits such a relationship would bring to Qi State, but Lou Jing thought about it and thought that the turning point of the matter might lie in the bank, because if he wanted to build the railway If it is, there must be funds, and where does the large amount of funds come from.There is only one place.bank.A large amount of bank funds are gathered to lend to them, so that they can further solve the financing problem of railway construction.
"I can tell you some specific content, so that you can also be mentally prepared." Zhang Liang said.
"We plan that Qin State, South Korea, and Qi State or Qin State, South Korea, and Chu State will jointly form some large banks to be responsible for these specific matters. Qin State and South Korea will account for more than 70.00% of the total funds. " Zhang Liang said.
"In this way, you can also solve the problem, and we can also occupy a certain share. After all, this is cooperation. If there is no benefit, there is no need for cooperation at all." Zhang Liang said.
"Well. I understand this. Then in order to further develop trade among countries, after all, the railway was built for trade. The people of Qin believed that before, all countries should make some efforts. The main reason is that this effort has brought all countries to a standstill. At present, Qin Guo is very worried about this." Zhang Liang said.
"I don't know which point?" Lou Jing asked.
"Taxation, that is, tariff, if the governments of the three countries can reach a unified taxation or reduce tariffs, it will be of great benefit to Qin." Zhang Liang said.
"Tariffs between countries are generally high, which is an extremely restrictive factor for the development of commerce and trade. If this continues, the significance of building railways will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the banks hope that after the establishment of these large banks Basically, adjust the tariffs in advance to stimulate the development of commercial trade in various countries. In order to stimulate the development of more commercial economies. Only in this way can the value of the railway be further reflected." Zhang Liang said.
This is also the unified opinion reached by Qin and South Korea.
Although the state of Qi also collects commercial tax, the commercial tax is extremely unstable. Coupled with the greed of the local tax collectors, the tax rate has been increased a lot invisibly. The increase in the tax rate is very important for the trade between the state of Qi, Korea, and Wei. Very unfavorable.No one is willing to pay so much tax. After paying tax, they will also get it in commodities.The wool comes from the sheep.This is an unchanging truth.
If this is the case, the significance of railway construction will not be too great.Because if it cannot stimulate a larger market, the role of railway transportation is only for South Korea and Qin.This is not good for the country.It is also impossible to develop and expand the Qi country market, and the products cannot be produced and sold. In this case, the demand for investment and loans will decrease instead. These are a series of chain reactions. Some measures, such as urging the Qi government to reduce tariffs.Or stabilize it in the form of law.
"We hope that you can stabilize the tax rate below 5.00% in the form of law, and at the same time strengthen relevant legal means. Especially the management of those tax collectors. If this continues, it will cause extremely adverse effects. This is what we are extremely I don't want to see the situation. Only in this way, the bank's investment and loans will arrive, further stimulating your economic development. Although the tax revenue is less, it can be compensated by the amount. I think the husband should understand this. "Zhang Liang continued.
"Well, what the prime minister said is very reasonable. Before, I never understood why Qin and South Korea implemented such low tax rates. Now I understand." Lou Jing said.
"For such a condition, I will give the prime minister an answer. The development between the two countries can go further." Lou Jing said with a smile.
"Well. If that's the case, I'm satisfied. It's just a tariff. As for the domestic situation, I personally think that Qi should carry out relevant tax reforms. Only in this way can Qi go further." Zhang Liang smiled. Speaking of.
"Naturally." Lou Jing replied with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'll take my leave first. This matter is very important to Qi, so I won't continue." Lou Jing smiled, saluted and said goodbye to Zhang Liang.
On the other side, when the envoys of the other country heard such a request from South Korea, it was as difficult to swallow as if they had eaten flies.
"Well, the tax rate is so low, it's hard for our country of Chu to survive." The envoy of Chu country said to the Minister of Finance of South Korea.
"That's true. The low tax rate is indeed difficult to survive. Chu State will experience great financial difficulties for a period of time in the future. However, financial difficulties can be filled in other ways, for example, through loans, or It is government bonds and so on. These can meet the requirements of making up fiscal funds." The Minister of Finance explained.
"And after the tax rate is reduced, we should also see that the reduction of the tax rate has stimulated the development of economy and trade, and the potential for national development will be great. The objects of taxation will expand. In the long run, this will be very beneficial to Chu State. Yes," said the finance minister.
"The situation in our state of Chu..." At this moment, the envoy of Chu State hesitated a little. At the same time, they can also get a lot of subsidies from Chu State's finances. Without subsidies, they are at least missing a large piece. Although the tax has little impact on them, if the tax is reduced, it will also affect their land. income.All kinds of adverse effects are great.
Zhang Liang hurried over at this time, and after listening to some records of the assistant to the finance minister, he dragged on.
There is a good reason why the envoys of the State of Chu failed to agree to the relevant terms for a long time, because the nobles of the State of Chu were unwilling to lose their inherent interests in this cooperation.At the same time, they want to have further development instead, so that the affairs of Chu State will be difficult to handle.
"The short-sightedness of the nobles of the Chu Kingdom killed them." Zhang Liang sighed after reading the records.If the nobles of the Chu State can give up some of their gains and losses and release customs duties, maybe they can get more, but their own fiefdoms have formed a small country, and they levy high taxes domestically. They bear it.

"Such fine silk is only sold at such a price?" A middle-aged man with a wrinkled face said distressedly.
"Your price is high." A young businessman said.
"Ah. In the past, I could buy some wine and some meat with the silk obtained by women, but now, I have nothing." The middle-aged man said.And young businessmen looking at each other.
"Want to get some money to spend?" At this time, the young businessman asked with a smile.
"Of course. Who doesn't want to get some money, it's just that the money is hard to get." The middle-aged man said.
"I know." said the young businessman.
"That's right, this is a bit dangerous. If you don't do it well, you will lose your head. Do you dare to do it?" asked the young businessman.
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice when he saw the young businessman's tentative intentions.
"I said, old man Wu, you can't talk about this here." The young businessman saw the other party's interest, so he dragged the other party to the back of his shop.
"Are you really going to do such a thing?" The young businessman asked tentatively again.
"This." Old man Wu was a little worried and hesitant, but he thought that if it was done, he might make a lot of money, so he thought he should do it.
"Speak well, if you say what I say, you will definitely be killed. I will do what I say." The young man showed a fierce side.He didn't know when a short knife appeared in his hand, this kind of short knife was extremely sharp.Old man Wu saw the other party like this.Must be a big deal, otherwise wouldn't be doing it.His heart was beating hard.
"This, this can work, I can do it, I can do it. I will do it." Old man Wu said with a nod.He's that age.Death is worth dying for.
"I want to do it. If I can make a lot of money, I will definitely do it. I don't know how much money the less shopkeeper can give?" At this time, old man Wu asked in fear.
"This number." As he spoke, the young shopkeeper stretched out a finger.
"One gold?" Old man Wu asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The young shopkeeper said.
"This. This." Old man Wu was so excited that he was speechless.
"What? Are you scared?" The young shopkeeper looked at the other party and asked coldly.
"Oh, no, no. It's not that I'm scared. It's just that I've never seen so much money." Old man Wu hurriedly explained.
"Oh. That's it." The young treasurer nodded.
"I just know what the young shopkeeper is going to do?" Old man Wu asked in a low voice.
