Chapter 155 Make Money

"Then how did you make so much money?" Lu Yi became a little curious when he heard this. Being talked about by Chen Xi all day long made him very curious.

"It's simple. Because Zichuan has relaxed the restrictions, I naturally dare to sell. But those villages can't raise that much money. Even if they work hard on a village basis, they only buy one or two cars, forty How many cars can be sold in a village with more than 20 towns?" Liu Tong couldn't help complaining, "Zichuan only distributes food to the people and very few copper coins. He can't even make a few if he wants to make money."

Lu Yi did not refute this at all. After all, the main purpose was food to ensure the normal survival of the people, and money was secondary. Naturally, the amount of money that would not be distributed would be relatively small.

Of course, the common people won't care. After all, they are all displaced. It would be nice if someone is willing to give them a meal, not to mention that they can still be full.

"So, I discussed with dozens of village managers and rented these ox carts to them for only fifty yuan a day. The price is low and fair." Liu Tong stretched out his finger and said with a smile, "An oxcart can easily pull fifty people. It only costs one yuan per person. The price is extremely cheap. They naturally agreed. Some villages have many people and they can rent more. After all, it only costs one person. It’s only one penny a day, which is quite suitable for people like them who work in teams on a village scale.”

"Then how much did you rent out?" Lu Yi frowned when he heard this, and then said, "You can't get much money from renting, right?"

"Yes, you can't get much. Less than [-] cars were rented out, which is less than [-] yuan a day. It's really not profitable." Liu Tong then changed his tone and sighed, "But it's just a rental. , It’s not for sale. Chen Zichuan has not formulated any rules in this regard, and I am still an official. As long as the rules are changed and the production volume is reduced, and others cannot see it, these bullock carts are equivalent to my personal belongings. One day a day Ten thousand dollars without having to pay taxes.”

Lu Yi was a little silent when he heard this. No wonder she said why there were so many official bullock carts. It turned out to be like this.

"What's more, this is an official bullock cart. You don't even have to pay the city gate tax. I even bought a dozen of them to try out. It was so happy." Liu Tong was really happy when he thought about the situation in those days.

With the official oxcart entry and exit costs, there is no need to pay taxes. Once the shed is erected and covered, four or fifty people can be pulled in and out per cart. Only half of the city gate tax is charged. It is extremely cheap and requires a lot of people to pay.

In the end, it only took a few days. Chen Xi, who often dealt with government affairs, obviously discovered that the city gate tax was different. Because it was so different from the previous days, he called the soldiers over to inquire about the situation.

It was a bit scary to know that the government's ox carts came in and out many times on this day. After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Xi could understand what was going on.

Then an announcement was issued the next day, and the government directly canceled the city gate tax and cut wages directly. Liu Tong was unable to make money on the spot.

Because of this operation, more people came in and out of the city gate. Liu Tong only made money for a few days, and then it was gone.

The most outrageous thing is that this policy was clearly issued by Chen Xi, but it was Lu Yi who the people were grateful for, because these bullock carts were in Lu Yi's name.

They thought that Lu Yi, who was working conscientiously, was seeking welfare for them.

Listening to the singing among the common people, Chen Xi was stunned at the time.Is this the policy he signed and sealed?
Even when this policy was issued, there was an argument with Fan Qin. After all, the city gate tax was really not uncommon.

Take Fenggao City as an example. It only costs one copper coin to enter and exit the city. If 1 people enter and exit the city, it will cost 30 coins a day, and up to [-] coins a month.What's more, with Feng Gao's current prosperity, even if he is false, there are indeed many people coming in and out. Coupled with the additional levy on goods, the taxes paid will be even more.

To cancel this directly, Fan Qin directly expressed that he did not understand. Although he was a salted fish, this kind of policy must still be stopped.

But the stoppage failed, because Chen Xi was really rich, so he didn't need to say anything. He just asked Lu Yi to show the flow data. After Fan Qin read it, he remained silent, silently sat back in his seat, and continued to touch. fish.

Liu Tong also took advantage of that period of time to use the government ox carts in his hands to not only transport people in and out of the city, but also transport goods, which were also tax-free.

Of course, when collecting money, only half of the city gate tax was collected. Not only did it establish a good reputation among the people, it was even quite good in the eyes of many businessmen.

Even after the policy was issued to cancel the city gate tax, Liu Tong's bullock carts still played a significant role.

"No wonder Zichuan issued such a policy at that time. Is it all because of you?" Lu Yi's face was full of embarrassment.

People thought that this policy was driven by her, and there were many people who thanked her. At that time, she still found it baffling, but now she has found the reason.

"Yes, but because in those few days, the ox cart driven by my people has gained a basic reputation, and those businessmen are willing to believe in me, so I can naturally transport supplies." Liu Tong couldn't help but sigh. , I was really lucky at that time.

Taking advantage of that time, he directly built his own logistics team, distributed grain from the government, and earned his own money.

Those who drove bullock carts didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they received food and money normally and handed the money they earned to their superiors. Since it was a government car, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of handing over money. .

"After that, it lasted for a while. Later, didn't Zichuan dislike the mask? So he specially started selling steamed buns and was able to recover the funds." Liu Tong was full of smiles when he said this, and said with a smile, "He I failed many times before I got it, but I am different. I never fail. As long as I am willing, I can do it in one step, and I can even get the buns out for him."

"That's why there were so many bun shops in Fenggao City during that time, right?" Lu Yi thought about the situation at that time, and it was really hard to understand. How did they make money?
"Zichuan arranged for someone else to open a steamed bun shop, and I opened a steamed bun shop next to it. The most important thing is that the prices are the same." Liu Tong's smile became even happier and he said excitedly, "The food used is still government grain. As for the fillings, Son, I found people to pick them all, and they used grain from the government. I got the money back without even a single expense."

"Then after only four or five days of operation, it was forcibly taken back by Zichuan, right?" Lu Yi said speechlessly, "Tongtong, you really went too far at that time, and there were almost no people in the steamed bun shop."
