Immortal nobles

Chapter 129 New Jiyang City
That's right, Li Luo is not satisfied with the situation that the outside world said that the Li family is based in Jizhou. The dormancy of the past few years is just for better development in the future. At this time, Jizhou is united and developing at a high speed, but it is like a giant beast. Reining in his minions, trying not to attract the attention of others in the current chaotic world.

The sun was setting and the sky was hazy.

On this day, in Jiyang City, there was a team facing the north gate. In the middle was a large and exquisite carriage with exquisite rings. It could be seen at a glance that it was the team of a big family. Surrounded by two high-spirited carriages A knight, dressed in leather armor and heroic.

On the outermost periphery are a group of attendants dressed in commoner clothes. Although they are commoner clothes, they are also made of extremely high-quality fabrics. Because they are traveling, they feel a little dusty, but it is hard to hide the confidence in their eyebrows.

It is worth mentioning that there was an old woman in old clothes acting as the driver on the previous carriage, which seemed extremely disproportionate to the luxury of the team.

"Miss, Jiyang City is ahead." A knight drove the horse to the front of the carriage and said respectfully.

"Huh? Miss, Jiyang City is here." A charming voice came from the carriage, seeming quite happy.

"Are you here? Open the outer curtain." A gentle voice sounded, and the outer dark curtain was respectfully pulled aside by the knight, and then a graceful hand appeared on the fine white velvet curtain inside, Bai Jing was even three points better than the white velvet car curtain.

Opening the curtain of the car, an almost suffocating flawless face appeared, with three-point spirituality in the brows and eyes, long hair like ink, hanging down like silk like a waterfall, looking at the long line of entering the city in front of him, slightly frowning.

"There are so many people." A sigh made people unable to bear the urge to feel pity, and the knight forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart and replied: "Miss Hui, it's okay. Compared with other cities, Jiyang City There is a dedicated green channel, the process is extremely fast, and of course the entry fee is a bit more."

"That's it." The woman was obviously a little surprised, and then looked at the city gate. If so, another gate was opened, and the guards looked solemn. The other gate was obviously much larger, and the ground seemed to be used The best stone slabs are paved and extremely smooth.

From time to time, there are passing cart convoys passing by, obviously they are not short of money, and each convoy has someone to go to the guard sergeant's place to report for entry in advance, and the carriages did not stay too much in it.

But obviously the number of people in each team is small, and even if there are too many teams, they are divided into two teams. The carriages go to the green passage, and the rest go to the gate of Jiyang City.

That’s right, the green passage, this is another idea that Li Luo thought of. The normal entrance fee is three Wen, but this green passage is three hundred Wen. For rich people, these fees are not worth mentioning, but it can be faster. speed process, and the inspection process is much simpler.

The so-called green channel naturally means less inspections, and even if the people in the carriages don't want to show up, they can be exempted from inspections with one tael of silver for each carriage.

As for other cities, the practice of extracting the proportion of the value of the goods from the entry fee was naturally abandoned. In the whole of Jizhou, no city has done this, but implemented Jizhou's unique tax law.

When the new Jizhou tax was first launched, it was resisted by almost everyone.

Without him, I have never heard of value-added tax, consumption tax, business tax and other taxes, and even abolished agricultural tax to encourage farmers to cultivate, and the government will purchase grain from it for storage.

However, there are also many hard-working people who have made a fortune by farming, and have become big households in the village, and there has been a frenzy of farming in Jizhou.

When the new tax law was first introduced, no one was optimistic about it. The aristocratic families thought it was digging the foundation of the big family. There were even some big families who thought of resisting by force, but they were wiped out under the powerful military strength of the Li family.

So far, the new tax law has only been implemented under the guarantee of the garrisons in various places. As for the local officials in various places, it is not that they are not free from corruption and crimes. It is just that the secret spy organization established by Li Luo has spread to every corner of the state, which makes the new policy barely implemented.

Of course, Li Luo did not blindly suppress the local big clans, they had very strong influence in many places.

After Li Luo let go of some of the glass and white sugar business, coupled with his strong military strength, the local clans are also passively cooperating with the implementation of the New Deal. Of course, Li Luo also understands that this is just an appearance. If the family shows a slight weakness, these big families will be the first to attack the Li family.

Here, the horse team has gradually entered the Jiyang city gate, and was stopped by the city guards, "Who is coming? Quickly show the proof."

"Master, we are the convoy of the Si family in Liangzhou, and there is my lady in the car. This is a first-class pass issued by the State Shepherd's Mansion." A man who looked like a butler immediately stepped forward and said.

Liangzhou Si family!

The sergeant was shocked when he heard this, and he glanced at the pass order in his hand, which was indeed correct. The first-class pass order was not issued randomly, but was issued by the prefecture's government uniformly, and all of them were from powerful families.

"Guests please, welcome to Jiyang City." The sergeant showed a smile on his face, and waved to the back to signal the next convoy.

"Ah." The butler was also taken aback. It's not like he hasn't been to Jiyang City, but what about the agreed entry fee?
Of course, this is the other party's territory, and I can't be too arrogant, so I hurriedly handed over a small cloth bag, which naturally contained white money.

Don't think that the big family will be arrogant when they are outside. The real big family is very particular about etiquette and behavior, and their behavior is restrained. Even if they are really hostile, they will not show it, and they will not be arrogant outside for no reason. Those who do are usually some rural nouveau riche.

The sergeant waved his hands again and again, and said, "Don't dare, this old man, you'd better invite him inside quickly. Mr. Zhou Mu has ordered that the first-class pass order has the highest standard of reception in the city. You can pay for entry fees and other things. Don't frustrate me."

The sergeant said, blocking the little cloth bag in front of his chest, who knows if that terrifying snare is nearby, but he still wants to get promoted in the army and make a fortune, so he can't influence his own because of these things... ...What is that called, a performance review!Yes, this is the performance review!

Then, as if he remembered something, he continued to add: "By the way, this old man, there is the most luxurious five-star inn in Jiyang City in the south of the city, where you can rest your feet, and you can stay for free with a first-class pass. There is a map of my Jiyang City, which can be used by you." The sergeant pointed to a stack of tall maps on the front left.

Li Luo made up his mind to build Jiyang City into a nationalized super city, and implemented everything according to his ideas. Even if there were some mistakes caused by mistakes, they were corrected by Li Luo with strong external force.
