, mainly building river embankments, bridges and other infrastructure construction.

Chen Xi was still sitting in the Government Affairs Hall drinking tea as before. The latest news about Mi Zhu was that he was rushing back from the Yangtze River. Although he unfortunately encountered a water battle between Sun Ce and Wenpin, given that Mi Zhu was relatively famous now, Zhou Yu only accepted one

After paying the toll fee, Mi Zhu was released. As for now, he is probably not in Yuzhou but in Xuzhou. It will take another ten days to come back.

As for the original plan to bring the Wu family into the merchant alliance, it naturally collapsed. Wu Yi had no choice but to insist that if he was given the position of leader of the merchant alliance, the Wu family would join the merchant alliance, otherwise there would be no need to discuss it.

Mi Zhu definitely doesn't believe this. After all, if the Wu family is really that stubborn, they will definitely not become one of the top five wealthy businessmen. And if they are really that stubborn, why would they talk to Mi Zhu? Since Wu Yi drags Mi Zhu to talk every day, it means that there is still a big problem.

The only room for maneuver is to ask for a high price and then pay back the money.

Mi Zhu is confident that he will use the position of deputy leader and some other things to bring the Wu family into the business alliance and then strengthen the business alliance. Although the price is a bit high, the five wealthy businessmen have the qualifications regardless of their status or connections, so Mi Zhu can

Talked endlessly with Wu Yi.

According to the progress at that time, Mi Zhu estimated that it would take another month to bring the Wu family into the business alliance. Unfortunately, at that time, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, Li You, Fazheng, Jian Yong, Liu Yan, and Sun Qian

All the letters were in Mi Zhu's hands, and they all just said one sentence, "Go back to Mount Tai as soon as possible. Chen Xi has a new plan. The Zhen family is also in Taishan. If you can't come back to Taishan, the benefits will be given to the Zhen family."

Mi Zhu thought about it for a while, then went directly to the Wu family and gave him what he thought was the most favorable offer. Then he told the Wu family that he had something important to do and was leaving today. He hoped that he could reach an agreement, otherwise it would be difficult for him to have another relationship.

I had the opportunity to come to Yizhou to discuss with the Wu family in person.

It's a pity that Wu Yi thought Mi Zhu was using psychological tactics, so he beat him up and ignored him. As a result, Mi Zhu left overnight.

Chen Xi said it was about making money. What was that concept? Mi Zhu, who had followed Chen Xi, knew very well that the small money Chen Xi mentioned was sometimes calculated in terms of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this time he directly said it was about making big money. Mi Zhu felt that Wu Yi

In Chen Xi's mind, the value of joining a business alliance may be just a small amount of money!

Of course, there is also the reason why the Zhen family went to Mount Tai. You must know that in Mi Zhu's heart, it is not impossible for Chen Xi to give a certain profitable business to the Zhen family. It is quite possible! So for the sake of safety, it is better to go back quickly.

Hurry, as for the Wu family in Yizhou, there is nothing we can do. This is the only option. Without the Wu family, we can just go back and win over the Zhen family!

There are no absolute enemies in the shopping mall, only absolute interests. Mi Zhu feels that the Zhang family can be relatively easy to talk to. And they are also closer. It is not impossible to go back and have a good talk to bring the Zhen family into the business alliance. As for the Wu family

, it can only be said that there is no time in life, don’t force it~

After getting the time for Mi Zhu's return, Chen Xi felt relieved. As long as the time was not too long, Chen Xi was willing to wait. As for letting the Zhen family control Liu Bei's business lifeline, it was just a joke. What a joke, that's not the case anymore.

It’s not about money anymore, it’s about life...

Naturally, one's lifeline must be held in one's own hands. No one would feel at ease if it were held in the hands of others, even if the other person wanted to take refuge in it. But where is the security as good as that of the Mi family?

Even if Mi Zhu really has something to do and cannot return, Chen Xi will not hand over the power to the Zhen family. He can still distinguish between public and private affairs. This time it is not like last time that the Zhen family has no right to choose and can only follow Chen Xi's script.

Walk!

If Chen Xi gives power to the Zhen family this time, then if the Zhen family cannot find a way to use the power in their hands to counter Liu Bei and expand their strength, they will no longer be called a family! So if Mi Zhu does not come back, Chen Xi will have to do it himself.

Well, although due to a series of problems such as fame and age, it may not be as easy to get started as Mi Zhu Rongtong at the beginning, but after a little time, those people will recognize Chen Xi.

However, Chen Xi knew very well that he had better not take over this kind of thing. Although Liu Bei might not care, Chen Xi was not willing to accidentally cause trouble for himself. He followed Liu Bei himself. Liu Bei was good enough to him and dared to delegate power. He wanted to

If the military and political forces really come to seize money and food, isn't this just looking for trouble?

This is why Chen Xi clearly controls the power of all officials under Liu Bei, but he does nothing and stays in the Government Affairs Department. He holds many positions, including military, government, commercial, and agricultural. The mess involves a wide range of things, but

Chen Xi actually didn't take over anything! He only did one thing, which was to leave these things to others to handle. He only did what he wanted to do, and what he wanted to do was usually the only one...

Just like what Chen Xi does now is to sit in the Government Affairs Hall and drink tea. He and Man Chong have already made a lot of changes in the new law. In terms of criminal law, Chen Xi has sent Man Chong a lot of exile, cane punishment, and corporal punishment. Anyway, Chen Xi thinks

The not-so-good criminal laws have all been turned into labor camps...

Of course, Man Chong was dissatisfied with the fact that 90% of the criminal law was reform through labor. He could accept reform through labor for petty theft, but how could a man who committed a crime by mistake be considered reform through labor? Then he started a debate with Chen Xi, and in the end Man Chong retained his opinion.

After all, there is some truth in what Chen Xi said. Dead people cannot create any value. In this era of shortage of people, instead of beheading the other party, it is better to work as a coolie. After all, there are always some dangerous jobs, such as mining, even if

It's not very humane, but as long as he doesn't kill the opponent, it still shows Liu Bei's kindness.

As for the tax law, there is nothing to say about the agricultural tax. Zhao Yun is standing next to you with a gun and suppressing 30%. You can't do anything more! And Zhao Yun is a standard straight man. He suppresses all the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes together and counts them all into the agricultural tax.

Inside, 40% cannot be more, otherwise there will be a transparent hole in the body, so in the end the tax rate became floating. It was written into the agricultural tax based on the research of Liu Ye and Lu Su.

After farming, Zhao Yun turned a blind eye. It had nothing to do with Zhao Yun whether he exploited businessmen or not. However, in the end, Chen Xi's tax law still made many people feel that it was a big headache and collected too little, even though there was a luxury tax.

It’s unreasonable to pay fifteen times the tax on something that goes into the city without paying tax!

In the opinion of Lu Su and others, the transaction tax is unreliable. This tax rate is too thin and cannot support Fenggao at all. All the money has been made by businessmen! The business tax is okay, but even if it is added together, it is not enough to support the original business.

Tax it! (To be continued...)

ps: Dian Niang is really cheating. There was a problem in the backend when I ordered 2,990 yuan. After more than two hours, the subscription could not be stopped. Alas, I originally only had 3,000 subscriptions today, which is a high-quality product. Unfortunately, I was tricked to death. I am so angry.

Yes! As expected, this book of mine is really troubled! Something goes wrong at every good opportunity. Something goes wrong when signing a contract, something goes wrong in Sanjiang, something goes wrong when it is forced to be released, something goes wrong when it is put on the shelf, and even the best products that were supposed to be on the shelves for the month are also missing!
