The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"So, signing documents and buying operating rights for three to five years, ten to twenty years are different. If the business is not good, they will be replaced after this period. In addition, the inns in the service area are allowed to be operated by them, but if the inns dare to charge such high fees, the caravans are not fools. They have traveled all over the country and have camped at night before." Li Fu smiled and said, "If they feel it is not suitable, they can just live in the warehouse with the goods, or even set up a tent on the open ground and live in the carriage. It's just a matter of persisting for one or two days."

"All the services in the service area, if you want to make money from the merchants, you have to think carefully, think about how much to price the things on hand, think about how to make them cheap and good, and think about how to make them willing to pay for your services."

"Every penny in the world is not so easy to earn. If you want people to take money out of their pockets to give it to you, you have to think of every way and rack your brains." Li Fu said: "The Tang Dynasty Among so many people, how many can be like those playboys in Chang'an City, who can spend a handful of copper coins casually when they are in a good mood?

Aren't most of them people who want to split a penny into two to live?

This is especially true for caravan merchants. "

"There are inns and restaurants in the service area. If you walk ten or twenty miles away, won't there be any in the town? What are the advantages of the service area? The environment is good, the place is large, everything you want is available, and the location is good. This is an advantage that attracts people to settle down. "Li Fu said: "If you want to enjoy the advantages, spend money, it's no problem to be 10% or 20% more expensive. We have provided the corresponding things. But if the things are still the same, and the sky-high prices are asked, causing the treasury and the inner court to lose money, this responsibility will be enough to punish you. "

"This is a double shackle, so that people in the service area will remember deeply what a service area is! How to write the word service! What does it mean! "

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

"As long as the service area operates normally, let alone putting some people there, even if there are two pigs in the position of the leader, they can make money. Can't they make money? The Ministry of Revenue sent people to investigate! Investigate thoroughly! What happened in the middle, what is the reason, find out, punish severely, even if you don't die, you have to return the money you took."

"If it doesn't work, confiscate your property and behead you. Not only do you have to return the money you took, but also your family assets."

"Of course, people don't get up early without profit. Corruption has been a constant throughout the ages. It can't be cut off or killed. There must be some."

Officials under Zhu were skinned and stuffed with straw if they embezzled ten taels of silver. How many years have they been intimidated like this?

Li Shimin responded: "I know that."

After all, he is a son of a noble family. How can he not know the twists and turns here?

When the Li family was in Taiyuan, there were many... cough cough

"The Du family has been settled, but the queen's family, the You Pushe..." Li Shimin looked at Li Fu: "Is there any other way? The court wants to take back the salt and iron rights, and Fu Ji was the first to submit a petition to hand it over."

Although the queen also persuaded him, the first is the first.

Much earlier than the Du family.

If he gave the Du family corresponding benefits, but he didn't say anything about the Changsun family, it would probably chill Changsun Wuji's heart.

"The Changsun family... The children of the You Pushe are still young. Unlike the Du family, they can't give them any official career for the time being. If we say compensation, it's nothing more than money and benefits." Li Fu thought for a while: "Then first in the future Linying service area, let the business of the restaurant and restaurant be handed over to the servants of the Changsun family. Because the mining industry was taken over, the Changsun family also lost a source of income, so we can make up for it."

"Second brother, discuss this matter with the You Pushe alone."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's not talk about the entire Hedong Dao area for now, let's look at Linying County first." Li Fu said: "With the Changsun family and the Du family, it won't be long before Linying County will no longer be the disaster-stricken county destroyed by the flood."

To build this service area, we still need to boost the local economy, create more income channels for local people, and provide them with an environment and conditions to make money.

The court benefits, the noble families operating in the service area benefit, the local people benefit, and the caravans benefit. This is the best situation.

If anyone wants to break this balance, don't blame the court for being unkind.

Originally, the opportunity was given to you.

"Then, if a noble family hands over the Yanchi Iron Mine to the court in the future, can the court arrange the industry in the service area to compensate them as appropriate?"Li Shimin asked.

"If it is appropriate... yes." Li Fu nodded.

Anyway, the service area is under the control of the court, and it is harmless to give part of the business in the service area to the noble family.

It is impossible that the court is thinking about the salt pond iron mine and does not want to take it out at all? Who would be willing to hand over all the profitable business to the court?

Wang De stood at the door of Hanfeng Hall and bowed to the hall.

"Your Majesty, Minister Du is here."

"Let him in." Li Shimin responded to the outside.

Du Ruhui walked in from outside and bowed.

"Keming, sit down. It happens that Huairen is here today. I said before that your son should go to the farm. I do have some ideas, but when I told you that day, I had not made it clear. Today, before the court meeting, I will tell you."

So, Li Shimin told Du Ruhui about what they had just discussed.

"When the entire service area, that is, the service post station, is built in Linying County, the inn in the post station will be handed over to the Du family to operate." Li Shimin said: "I will temporarily grant the Du family ten years of operating rights."

"At present, only this service area is still in the plan, but in the future, there will be more than one service area. In the entire Hedong Road, as long as the court builds a service area, the operating rights of the inns inside will be awarded to the Du family within ten years after the construction is completed."

After listening, Du Ruhui quickly figured out the joints, his eyes lit up, and he kowtowed to thank him.

This is not a guarantee from His Majesty to the Du family, but a guarantee from the court to the Du family.

This business is linked to the court, and it is a business planned by King Jingyang for the national treasury and the inner court, and the Du family is involved in it.

It must be a sure win.

The risk is smaller than the salt and iron business, and there is almost no risk, but the income is not necessarily low.
