Chapter 33-Grasping the Trade Path, You Are So Unruly!
"Lord Fort Master…This…"
Liu Fuyun was stunned.
three million gold coins
This Lord Fort Master was truly unpredictable.
The price had tripled.
Three million…
For the wealthy merchants represented by the Mi Family, could they take it out?
Of course!
Moreover...
After taking out three million, they could actually still make a profit from trading outside the fortress.
However…
This was not the logic of a businessman.
Compared to the previous one million.
Now, he had to pay three million.
Obviously…
He had to pay more.
To be honest.
It was difficult to collect taxes from merchants.
Let alone now.
Even in the future.
It was very difficult to collect taxes from merchants, especially large consortiums. They had all kinds of ways to avoid taxes.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Wang Mu didn't plan to really send a tax card. He would charge according to the number of goods entering and leaving.
Such a method.
It was too troublesome.
He did not have the time to train a group of tax officers.
Moreover...
It was also difficult to prevent the greed of the officials under his command.
Instead of doing this.
Wang Mu might as well just contract out this business!
That's right.
This was actually…
It was the tax system.
Or rather…
Wang Mu was referring to the historical tax system.
Three million gold coins.
To the caravans that were going in and out of the frontier.
Three million a year was not a big problem.
He would ensure their safety and allow their caravans to trade safely.
They pay three million a year in protection fees.
Fair and reasonable.
He was honest.
Although, on the surface.
They had to pay more than before, but without the bandits, the trade route was smooth.
Their profits would be higher.
"Head Shopkeeper Liu, don't panic."
Wang Mu smiled.
"I'm not greedy, but I have other plans!”
"The Mi Family behind you is a giant merchant in the north. They are rich. A mere three million is naturally nothing!”
"And…If I give the power to collect taxes to the Mi family…How much tax do you think the Mi Family can collect from the caravans that go in and out of the Great Wall every year?”
Wang Mu said.
Liu Fuyun was stunned.
In fact…
After careful calculation.
He discovered…The plan that Wang Mu had given was extremely practical!
The Mei Clan was a wealthy merchant.
He controlled a large number of commercial channels.
Wang Mu couldn't collect taxes.
The Mei Clan was backed by the trade route in Wang Mu's hands, so they would definitely be able to take it over.、
in this way
Three million a year.
It wasn't difficult!
In fact, it was even possible for him to earn four million a year.
To the Mi Family.
On one hand.
He had Wang Mu's back.
He controlled the trade routes that led to and from the Frontier.
This way…
The Mi Family was directly above the wealthy merchants in the north.
In other words.
The Mi Family controlled the upstream channels.
The benefits that he could get from it in a year.
It was definitely not just a small tax.
As for Wang Mu.
He wanted to pull the Mi Family into his own interest group.
There were also many benefits.
First of all.
This was a win-win situation.
If he went to set up a checkpoint to collect taxes.
He definitely wouldn't be able to get three million.
After all...
He was not a businessman.
There were no merchant channels.
However, if it was given to the Mi Family, there would be no problem at all.、
Moreover…
Wang Mu also needed a wealthy merchant to act as his agent to buy food, warhorses, and recruit craftsmen for him.
These things.
It was not convenient for Wang Mu to personally appear for the time being.
Let the Mi Family make their own white gloves.
It was very suitable.
Another point.
This was the prerequisite for the Mi Family to obtain huge benefits from it.
It was his own martial strength!
In other words.
The benefits of this trade route.
It was enough to tie the Mei Clan to his war chariot!!
When would that happen?
It didn't matter what the Mei brothers were thinking.
This was not important at all.
Sometimes.
A person's butt.
It was more important than his head.
In the face of common interests.
Such a relationship.
Only then would it be stable enough.
Wang Mu knew.
When his power gradually grew.
He also had to make sure that the strength that worked with him could also benefit.
No matter what the benefits were, he had to swallow them all.
Such a force could easily be isolated.
Wang Mu had a very thorough understanding of this.
The Mi family was an important sponsor of Liu Bei's family.
In terms of money.
Eastern Sea Mei Clan.
It could be said that his wealth could rival that of a country.
If he could obtain the Eastern Sea's Mei Clan's support.
In the future.
He had set up a separate regime in the north.
He would also be able to obtain a great help.
Liu Fuyun calculated in his heart.
He immediately nodded and said,"Lord Fort Master, I'll go back now…" Report to my main family!"
In fact.
Liu Fuyun knew.
The Mei brothers would never reject such a good opportunity.
With the Mi Family's status in the business world.
At the same time.
He even cooperated with Wang Mu, who controlled the Yan Mountain trade route.
It was too easy to squeeze out those merchants who did not pay taxes honestly!!
After seeing Liu Fuyun galloping south, he was shocked.
Wang Mu knew.
This matter…
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance of success.
Moreover…
Even if the Mi Family did not agree.
He could still find another partner to work with.
Holding the trade route.
He was so domineering!
Soon after.
Wang Mu came to the dungeon.
This time.
He wanted to do a test!
At one go, he extracted more than 30 defensive skills.
Would the fusion produce a result that he was looking forward to?
