"Can I ask Xiao Yi if we have to pay the court for the rental of Zhuangzi's livestock?" Bi Goo asked as he prepared to leave.
Li Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "There's no need to pay for the rental of a single animal. There are too many cows and horses in Zhuangzi, so it's considered a large scale rental business. We have to pay taxes. "
"You're willing to pay?" Bi Goo thought that Li Yi was going to refuse.
Li Yi shook his head, "But this rental business is a form of repayment to society. Other than the feed, there's also a small fee for the use of the animals.
According to the rental fees, if the cows and horses are old and can't be used anymore, I'll be able to earn back the money used to buy them.
If I have to pay taxes, I'll definitely pass the fees to the renters, and they'll have to spend more money.
The court is actually collecting money from the commoners, not me. If the court collects it, I'll raise the price. "
Li Yi pushed the question back. It didn't matter if they collected it or not, he wasn't the one paying.
"Do you think we should collect it?" Bi Goo found this to be a difficult problem.
"Yes, 30% of the tax is 1%. Then I'll raise the price by 5%. This way, I can still earn 1.66% more.
They use it for transportation, so they earn money. It's not like farming, where I rent it to the commoners at a cheaper price. The commoners can farm, so the yield is not high. "
Li Yi chose to raise the price. The renters were doing business, not agriculture, so they shouldn't be given so many subsidies.
"When do we start?" Bi Goo thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
"After the New Year. There are only a few days left before the New Year, let's inform them in advance." Li Yi set the time.
"I'm going back." Bi Goo took the box of braces and strolled back.
"Minister Bi, come here …" Empress Wang pulled her son's hand to the side. The little boy's face was red because of the cold weather.
"The court did not react to the snowstorm this time. The Winged Knights were mobilized, and the Li Family Zhuangzi was in charge of supplies. They felt that they were being passive and wanted to give me a warning. "
Li Yi shook his head, guessing what these people were thinking.
Just as it had been at a certain time in his life, when the people were in trouble, the local officials were not happy which group moved first.
There were also people who wanted to donate things. They had to get the land in their hands. With so many things, how could they not know how to control them?
Others donated large amounts of bread and mineral water, and the officials took over. The reason was that the officials had strong organizational skills and needed to be unified.
In fact, the corporation's ability to operate was better than the government.
Later, with the development of the Internet, the same situation changed.
Whoever donated something would be officially announced and acknowledged as the person who donated it. Furthermore, the person who donated it had put in a lot of effort.
One was the environmental factor, and the other was the overall level of knowledge of the officials.
When he was in the Tang dynasty, there was a large-scale snowstorm. He didn't care about the imperial court and directly took action. How should he settle this matter?
How was it recorded in the history books? In comparison, the officials were clearly incompetent.
Empress Wang pursed her lips. "Do you think they can organize it in the middle of the night? Now the people whose houses have collapsed need to eat, shelter and coal. Tell them to get busy. "
"That's how it should be." Li Yi agreed. Zhuangzi didn't need to spend any money.
Aren't you all capable? I'll give you a chance.
… …
Bi Goo returned to the Political Affairs Hall. He brushed his teeth first, washed his braces, and put them on. He felt awkward and his voice changed.
Bi Goo found Song Jing and Su Yi and said, "After the Lunar New Year, pay the money. Xiao Yi raised the price. 30% tax and 1% tax."
"What else did he say?" Song Jing wanted to ask if Li Yi would give in.
"After collecting taxes, give subsidies to the poor people. The imperial court will handle it. After collecting taxes, the people in the area will enjoy happiness. "
Bi Goo didn't mention that Li Yi didn't agree to submit a report. He didn't mention what to do with the people who didn't have a house to live in.
The two of them understood that they didn't reach an agreement. Li Yi wasn't someone who was willing to listen to others.
… …
The next morning, when everyone was reading the newspaper, they suddenly found out that Li Family Zhuangzi said that the rent of cattle and horses would increase after the Lunar New Year.
"Price increase? After the Lunar New Year, it will increase by 5%. "
"5% isn't expensive. It's snowing heavily. Li Family Zhuangzi took out a lot of money to help."
"He said that he has to pay taxes. The problem with taxes."
"Li Family Zhuangzi should be exempt from taxes. Zhuangzi always pays."
"The imperial court is too much. How can they take Li Dongzhu's money?"
"I didn't see you angry when they took it in the past."
"I rent the horses. If the imperial court doesn't take Li Dongzhu's taxes, I can earn more."
"Yes, it's all the imperial court's fault."
The people in the imperial court were busy now. Li Yi had let go and no longer sent new supplies to the other prefectures.
Song Jing arranged to hire people to help deliver and transfer goods.
He bought instant noodles from Li Family Zhuangzi, transported coal to the coal mine, and rented cars from Li Family Zhuangzi.
He sent supplies to the people affected by the disaster. He found that he had to rely on Li Family Zhuangzi's power to spend money.
"The imperial court should have its own emergency team. Recruit people."
During lunch, Song Jing gathered a large group of people to discuss some matters.
Chang 'an City had people to clean, put out fires, remove feces, and transport slag. However, there was no transportation team that could support the local areas at any time.
If there was a war, there would be 16 guards. Then, they would hire temporary people to help transport.
Now, they could see that it wasn't working.
They needed more supplies, livestock, and manpower to raise them.
In the past, they didn't have money and couldn't afford to raise them.
Now that they had money, they didn't want Li Family Zhuangzi to be in the limelight. They could only do it themselves.
"Recruit!" Wei Zhigu agreed. Otherwise, they should set up a team.
The others nodded. They would recruit now and confirm the quota before the Lunar New Year. The structure and details would be perfect. They would start after the Lunar New Year.
They passed a note to Li Yi and advertised in the newspaper.
Li Chengqi helped to pass the note. He also sent over frozen seafood.
"It's good to set up an emergency rescue and disaster relief team. The Winged Knights won't always be on the front line. Their roles and responsibilities will be clear."
Li Yi commented. Otherwise, they would have to wait until next year. It seemed that the group of people was anxious.
"The imperial court has money. We can spend more money." Li Chengqi mentioned the situation of funds.
"We need to recruit 5,000 people. The population of the imperial court is not enough. Gradually, the number of people coming to the counties will increase. The farmland will still be the same.
More people will prefer manual labor and service industries. The demand for roads to the outside will increase. More goods will be transported in for consumption. "
When Li Yi asked someone to do the typesetting, he analyzed the future of the imperial court.
They had to make arrangements in advance. Otherwise, it would cause bad planning and messy situations.
Just like when he was young, no one expected the city to develop so fast. The streets were narrow and there were few places to park.
The cars were all parked on the roads. It was too late to think about planning.
Now, there were still few people coming to the imperial court. They had to make plans quickly.
Drainage ditches, underground canals, public toilets, warehouses, road expansion, housing planning.
"They have set up a team. It's still unclear how much money they will spend and how to manage it."
Li Chengqi was thinking about the various details of the new department.
"It's simple. Organize a few acts like a firefighting team. In fact, it's better to incorporate them into the firefighting team."
Li Yi didn't feel that it was difficult to manage an emergency rescue and disaster relief team. Moreover, they didn't have to lose money.
