Chapter 628: Wu Mei Niang lost
Ferry duty free...
It’s tax-free!
Yes, businessmen are pursuing profits, and tax exemption at the ferry means an increase in cargo volume. A place where people gather needs food, clothing, housing and transportation...
Just this one move can bring vitality to the entire new city!
It seems that the ferry has lost income, but it can make up for it in other aspects! And it can be made up ten times or a hundred times!
Wu Meiniang was suddenly cheerful, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
The heroic words of Fang Ying a few days ago came to mind again... The man stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back and said in a plain tone:
"Believe it or not, in a few days, wealthy merchants will rush over, and this place will be the most beautiful city that never sleeps."
It turns out it’s tax-free…
This is his back-up plan!
The feudal lords of the past dynasties all followed the same rules when collecting their fiefs, but he dared to break the rules and find another way!
Connected in one place, connected everywhere!
It is conceivable that after today, the new city will become a dazzling star, echoing Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
"And I will be the actual mistress of this city!"
Wu Meiniang was so happy that she was a little suffocated.
Suddenly I thought of that bet again...
"If I lose, I have to promise him something, anything...what does he want from me..."
Wu Mei bit her red lips lightly, her whole body felt hot.
This inadvertent expression of flattery made the eyes of those present straighten, and their laughter flowed all over the floor.
"Sir, your book fell."
Zhou Ping's voice made Wu Meiniang wake up.
The man from the banker held the scroll he had just picked up and whispered respectfully: "Erlang just sent a letter, and it is true that the tax exemption is true."
"Um."
Wu Meiniang quickly calmed down, stretched out her delicate hand to take the scroll, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Then her beautiful eyes turned around, and Roumei said: "You are right, I will be responsible for many matters in the new city for the time being..."
The words are not finished yet.
The scene immediately exploded.
"Miss Wu! Can the shop sell it?"
"Yes! Give me ten rooms first! A certain family has a lot of money and no shortage of money!"
"Get out! Are you stupid to be a female gentleman? How can you sell such a good location? Miss Wu, please rent the shop to me!"
“You can rent it for as long as you want, the rent is easy to say!”
Amidst the noise.
Some merchants shouted loudly:
"Female sir, there are not enough ferries!"
"A certain merchant ship has to wait for a long time every time. May I ask if there will be more ferries?"
"That's right! The labor force is becoming more and more tense. Please send more manpower to avoid delaying the loading and unloading of my merchant ship!"
Facing the bustling crowd.
Lady Wu smiled, like a delicate hibiscus flower, with indescribable charm:
"Don't worry, everyone, the new city will make you return satisfied..."
…
Chang'an.
Dragon Palace.
Li Shimin sat behind the papers and reviewed the memorial.
Zhang Anan stood by and waited on him. Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve tea to the emperor, the eunuch asked:
"Everyone, you have been in a good mood since Fang Ying came back from the fiefdom, but what's the happy news?"
"Of course there is a happy event!"
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Today's Jubao Pavilion auction, the winner earned me enough money."
"With these as a base, the Firearms Monitor can start immediately!"
"Congratulations to everyone." Zhang Anan clasped his hands and said with a smile: "The Flying Fire Army under the Firearms Supervision Bureau has been training for several days, and they only need this money."
"By the way, the soldier that Ying'er inserted some time ago..." Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and asked, "What's her name?"
"Chen Abin!"
The chief eunuch introduced truthfully: "This girl has a good foundation and is willing to work hard. She has been promoted to team leader."
"Oh?" Li Shimin asked with great interest: "What is this woman's potential?"
"Your Majesty, your potential is unlimited."
Zhang Ananda bowed and said: "The Imperial Master once took a look and said that given time, this girl will be the second Princess Pingyang.
"So powerful?"
Li Shimin was slightly surprised, then smiled and said: "So, Ying'er, this guy, even sent me a female general, hahaha..."
The master and servant were talking.
A beauty in palace clothes walked in outside the palace, curtly bowed as she entered, and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, are you looking for me?"
She is around 20 years old.
She has a pretty face and a graceful figure, and her every move exudes fierceness.
Especially the slanting red paint on her cheeks, shaped like a crescent moon, bright red in color, and blended with rouge, making her look even more gorgeous.
It is Li Shimin's third daughter, Princess Nanping.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, she married Wang Jingzhi, Wang Gui's second son.
"Nan Ping is here..."
Li Shimin was still immersed in the joy brought by Fang Ying. With a smile on his face, he asked casually: "How is your Aweng's condition recently?"
Princess Nanping was stunned for a moment, then showed an unnatural expression: "Dad, why do you suddenly ask about this..."
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.
He was still a little confused just now, why did Fang Ying mention Princess Nanping when he left Xincheng... Now it seems that there is indeed a problem here!
The smile on the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty slowly disappeared, he stared at his third daughter and asked:
"I'll ask you again, how is Shujie's condition?"
Princess Nanping pursed her lips: "How do I know?"
"Shouldn't you know?"
