Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 338 Have you ever seen such a bright lantern?

Soon, the Earl of Hebrew recovered, and the therapeutic effect of penicillin shocked all foreigners.

Hebrew came to thank him personally with many gifts from Xiu, and Li Changfeng made another small fortune.

After a few days, the supplies purchased by Benjamin were loaded on the ship one after another, and they left the capital in a mighty way.

The deal is over.

Emperor Qianwu had been staring at this transaction for a long time. He abandoned the traditional tax collection method, and after discussing with Li Changfeng, he implemented a new tax method-tariff.

With the rapid development of Daqian, the volume of foreign trade transactions will increase. It is necessary to establish a suitable tax system, which is very important for the future development of Daqian.

This new tax system will cost Li Changfeng a lot of money, but he doesn't care, money is just a string of numbers to him now.

The most important thing is that his interests are closely related to Dagan, a powerful Dagan agrees with his interests.

Li Changfeng's move was tantamount to taking the initiative to cut flesh, which made Emperor Qianwu very satisfied.

"Stinky boy, it's rare that you are so generous this time, and you didn't argue with me because of money."

"Father, is it because I earn so much money for scientific research? When my son loses interest in scientific research, he probably won't be interested in earning money either."

This is Li Changfeng's heart.

His current goal is to develop nuclear weapons, which requires the development of a series of related industries, and the cost of silver is incalculable.

After the nuclear weapons come out, he may have no other goals.

At that time, he was no longer young, there was no need to continue to work hard to earn money, and the right thing to do was to start a leisurely retirement life.

Hearing what he said, Emperor Wu became anxious.

"Don't, I like you to make money the most."

Li Changfeng smiled, did not answer the question, and reminded: "Father, don't forget to collect tax money from several other wealthy businessmen according to the tariff system."

Most of what Benjamin purchased this time was his commodities, and a small part was other materials such as silk, etc., and the amount was also astonishing.

Emperor Ganwu nodded and said: "Don't worry, you have set an example, and I just took advantage of the opportunity to promote the tariff system. These people can't afford a penny of tax money."

……

According to Emperor Qianwu's request, Li Changfeng was very high-profile when he handed in the tax money. He was pulled by a horse-drawn cart, and the silver box was uncovered.

Passers-by were amazed when they saw this scene.

When they came to the door of the household department, the person who delivered the silver yelled loudly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince sent you 180 taels of foreign trade tax silver, please check and accept it with the household department!"

As soon as this remark came out, the people onlookers were amazed.

"My God, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince paid 100 million taels of silver to the household department last time. How long has it been since he handed over another 180 million taels!"

"I have paid so much tax money alone, how much money does Your Highness have to earn!"

"That figure must be beyond our imagination. You didn't look at refined salt, tea, beer or anything like that, and they loaded ship after ship. Most of them were products of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

"With the status of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, what if you don't pay a penny? His doing so is enough to show that he cares about the country and the country, and treats money like dung."

"That's right, His Royal Highness Jingyan hardly makes much money. He sells penicillin for 20 taels and [-] taels abroad, and only sells us ten pennies!"

"..."

Taking advantage of the sensation caused by such an astonishing amount of tax money paid by Li Changfeng, Emperor Qianwu proposed tariffs other than sitting tax and door tax, and standardized the tax system for foreign trade.

In this regard, no one from the ruling and opposition parties stood up to express opposition.

Anyway, this kind of tax system benefits the country, and loses the individual Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng himself didn't say anything, so why are they opposed.

This move also raised Li Changfeng's image in the eyes of civil and military officials, especially Chen Dingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who wanted to confess Li Changfeng as his ancestor.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

It's the middle of winter, and it's freezing cold.

The days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark early.

On this day, it was late at night, and the entire capital city was plunged into darkness, only dots of lights were lit up, making it look extremely quiet.

But Li Changfeng's mansion was brightly lit and bustling right now.

Bingbing cheered happily: "Wow, it's bright, it's really bright, it's amazing!"

Xiaotong danced excitedly: "There are electric lights in the house, so I don't have to be afraid of the dark at night anymore!"

The two of them are used to seeing Li Changfeng come up with all kinds of novel things from time to time.

Chunni was not the case. When she saw the light bulb lit up with her own eyes, her usually calm and pretty face was full of disbelief.

"He actually did it... These electric lights are like little suns. It's really amazing!"

"Is this really something that a mortal can do? Is it really like the folklore that Li Changfeng is a god who came to the world?"

With the advent of the electric light, Chunni's world view has been severely impacted.

Li Changfeng looked calm, even faintly disappointed.

The light emitted by tungsten filaments is yellow. Li Changfeng doesn't like this kind of light, he likes white light.

That's all, the key is that the light is still very weak, compared to the fluorescent lamps and LED lights he used in his previous life, it is simply far worse.

However, it is not bad to be able to create lighting in this world.

Li Changfeng thought for a while, and asked people to continue laying wires, and hung two lamps at the entrance of the mansion, played with the excited girls for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next morning.

Before dawn, there were pedestrians on the street one after another, most of them were vendors who left their stalls early to make a living.

Li Changfeng's mansion is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, and there are many people passing by the door.

Wu Laosan is a middle-aged man with a 70-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed, so he got up early and pushed the breakfast cart to occupy a good booth.

When he passed by the entrance of Li Changfeng's mansion, he was attracted by the bright light at the entrance, he couldn't help but looked over, and subconsciously whispered: "Why are the lanterns at His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince's house so bright?"

When he saw clearly what was hanging on the door, he couldn't help but froze.

"This... what is this?!"

At this time, other passers-by gathered at the door and stopped to watch.

"Is this a lantern? Why is it so bright?"

"What lantern, have you ever seen a lantern the size of a fist?"

"Impossible, this is definitely not a lantern. How can a normal lantern be so bright? Have you seen any candles inside?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince was born from a god. Could this be the sun he caught?"

"Don't talk about it, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince must have made a new invention!"

"That's right, you all watch, the truth will be revealed soon, maybe we can use such bright lights in a short time!"
