Ten days after Master Duzai's visit to Zhulongling, Zhang Tie took his wives, Tang De, and a bunch of people on a flying boat, and set off from Zhulong County to personally inspect and receive one from Ninghe County, Yanzhou. More than 100 million acres of official land.

Olena's words that night deeply touched Zhang Tie-giving the children a more promising future.

This sentence is the driving force for Zhang Tie to act now, and it is also the driving force for the mothers like Olena to act.

In the past few days, the women who have taken action have taken over the main station of the Candle Dragon Leadership that Tang De has built, and started to form a new organization, Iron Heart Pavilion, with the main station of the sect as the core. .

Zhang Tie's joke at the time, "Madam Cabinet" came true all at once.

In the Tiexin Pavilion, Aurora is responsible for the government affairs of the dragon collar, Olena is responsible for economics and business, Sabrina is responsible for intelligence, the six sisters of the Spencer family, and Linda and Fiona. , In Tiexin Pavilion, they have found their place and what they can do.

Among them, Beverly and Fiona are responsible for the most important internal and external information exchanges and confidentiality in the iron heart pavilion. This piece of work is of great importance, and at the same time, it controls the entire Zhulong collar. All the secrets of Zhang Tie, while still being able to directly contact Zhang Tie, must be someone who Zhang Tie absolutely trusts.

The six sisters of the Spencer family are responsible for accounting, auditing and other matters. The two sisters Aimei Aixue are responsible for goods and inventory matters. Linda's personality is gentle and careful, and they are responsible for the administrative operation of the entire Iron Heart Pavilion. It is equivalent to the role of the inner manager.

All the major issues in Tiexin Pavilion are decided by a group of women meeting and discussing. If there is a disagreement, the women will vote one person, one vote. If the number of votes is even, it will be decided by Zhang Tie.

In just a few days, Zhang Tie's women burst out with tremendous energy, and even Linda and others, who had been relaxed, were enthusiastically devoted to the work of Tiexin Pavilion.

Zhang Tie’s women became the head of the Iron Heart Pavilion, and the women around them, Olena, Auraura’s confidants brought from the Ice Wasteland, and Soni who had been with Linda and others all these years Ya and others also entered the Iron Heart Pavilion.

At this moment, Tiexin Pavilion was more than the cabinet of Zhang Tie's wife, and it became a daughter country. There were no men in Tiexin Pavilion.

Today, before Zhang Tie called a cadre to come to Ninghe County, Zhang Tie’s "madam cabinet" finally issued a clear order and instruction to the entire Zhulongling for the first time-from next month, that is, Starting from July 1, the consumption tax on beverages in all cities in the territory of Zhulong will be raised. The consumption tax on liquor, beer and other beverages made from grain will increase from the current 30% to 180%, a full six-fold increase. , While the consumption tax on fruit wine remains unchanged.

This command is equivalent to suddenly controlling the consumption scale of liquor in the Zhulong collar.

At a time when Taixia was experiencing food shortages, wine making was to compete with people for food. Raising the consumption tax on alcohol could curb alcohol consumption and use more food in key areas. A pound of alcohol could not save a person's life, but in many cases , A few catties of food can save a life.

It was Olena who made this proposal. After Olena explained her reasons, this proposal won unanimous support from Mrs. Zhang Tie in the Iron Heart Pavilion, and then it became a decree issued by the clan master. Pass through the entire candle dragon collar.

The order was issued before Zhang Tie's wife got on the flying boat, and after getting on the flying boat, Zhang Tie chatted with a bunch of women about the first order issued by Tie Xin Tang.

This order is not a slap in the head, raising taxes as much as you want, but a rigorous calculation after collecting enough data. There are many considerations.

The current population of Zhulongling is close to 20 million. After the five-fold increase in the consumption tax on food and beverages, the annual wine brewing and production scale in Zhulongling will be sharply reduced by 80% from the current 170,000 tons per year. Alcohol’s wine production has been reduced to about 30,000 tons per year. As a result, the food saved is almost 400,000 tons per year. At the same time, due to the increase in the consumption tax, the annual consumption tax on beverage consumption will increase by 20%. This is another income of millions of gold coins.

At the same time, the consumption tax on food beverages has been increased, but the consumption tax on fruit wines has not been increased. This is to guide a dry alcoholic in the candle dragon collar to drink fruit wine when they want to relieve their greed. As a result, the demand for fruit wine will expand. Passed to the supply side, it will cause a tight supply of all kinds of fruits that can brew fruit wine in the candle dragon collar. In order to relieve the shortage of fruit supply, more people in the candle dragon collar will find ways to grow more fruits.

Under the current situation of high food prices, the fruit farmers in the Zhulong community want to grow fruits, they cannot occupy the grain fields for growing grain, but will find ways to open up wasteland on the mountainous land where grain cannot be grown, and expand the area of ​​the orchard. .

With the increase in the supply of fruit wine, the taxation of fruit wine is also increasing, which can make the annual financial income of the candle dragon more.

The expansion of the orchard has increased the wasteland reclamation efforts in the Zhulong territory and the value of the land in the wilderness, driving local economic development.

The diversification of fruit supply and the increase in quantity will indirectly lay a solid material foundation for Zhang's future large-scale production of full-effect medicine in the territory of Zhulong.

The 400,000 tons of grain saved each year through this decree can be purchased at market prices with the increased tax on beverages and used as the grain reserves of the candle dragon collar. The more the grain reserves of the candle dragon collar, the more the grain supply in the candle dragon collar The more secure, the more secure the food supply, the more people from each state can be attracted to settle in the candle dragon collar, and the population size of the candle dragon collar will be gradually expanded, making the candle dragon collar more prosperous and more confident in the face of the crisis.

After listening to the words of a woman, Zhang Tie really had nothing to say except for lamenting how he could let such a bunch of women stay by his side to help himself.

Tiexintang gave Zhang Tie a stunned test.

"With a wife here, I won't have to worry about the matters of the candle dragon in the future. I always heard about the matrilineal clan and matrilineal society. Today, as soon as ladies take action, I feel that it is actually good for men to live in matrilineal society! "

Zhang Tie's words amused all the women.

"I agree with this!" Tang De said solemnly.

"This is also thanks to Manager Tang who has smoothed out many aspects of the Zhulong collar these days. Otherwise, we have just arrived in Zhulong County, not long after we arrived in Zhulong County, where can we share the worries for the husband so quickly!" Ai Mei smiled and said. , "Sister Olena's eyes are also admired by all the sisters!"

"It was only that day that I heard Fiona accidentally say that a man had something wrong with drinking, and then I suddenly remembered that I could do something about the alcohol tax. I first discussed with Aulaora and divided the alcohol into grain wine and fruit wine. The suggestion was made by Aulaora!" Olena did not dare to take credit.

Aolaura also shook her head, "I also heard Beverly mention that Golden Crow City is convenient for planting fruits. It takes a lot of fruits to make a full potion. Drinking a full potion at a time will have the effect of being drunk. So I suggested Olena to separate the drinks. ..."

Beverly was also shaking her head, "It is still Mattia's sisters who are good at actuarial planning..."

"Sister Linda has to prepare all the information, that is the most troublesome job!" Mattia also quickly declined.

Seeing that even Linda was going to be humble, Zhang Tiecai smiled and shook his hand, "Well, ladies, don’t be humble. This time, everyone has contributed. The ladies are really good friends for their husbands. Manager Tang De also worked hard. I hope everyone can work together in the future to do a good job in the Zhulong collar..."

"It's not just a candle dragon leader. This time, the candle dragon leader has extended its influence to Ninghe County. It's just that Master Superintendent is too...too that. This is a pit...cough...cough ..." Tang De coughed twice. Even at this time, he didn't dare to say anything bad about Taixia Supervisor. "Last year, Ninghe County had a good weather and a bumper harvest. Last year, Ninghe County's Guantian had better grain output. In the past, 10% more was rented based on last year’s 50% of the land rent. However, in normal years, it takes seven or eight years for the output of those official fields to reach such a high level. Even if the normal annual output is not affected by natural disasters and insects, It was only 90% of last year’s output. The 50% of the land rent required by the governor is equivalent to 50% of the usual year and month. In this way, even those official fields in Ninghe County can recover their previous average grain output. In the end, only 45 percent of the food will fall into our hands in one year!"

"Only four to five yards?" Zhang Tie rubbed his nose.

"Only forty-five percent!" Tang De nodded affirmatively and sighed. "This forty-five percent is all our income on those official fields, and the cost of farming has to be eliminated. Those costs are the same as hiring people. Large expenditures. Farm hires, farms, and stewards in the official fields not only have to take care of food and housing. People of different ranks also pay at least a sum of money every year to give them hope and income. In addition, farming We are responsible for grain seeds, farm tools, fertilizers, grain harvesting, and rough processing. This expenditure can account for about 40% of the income of a piece of grain production. Even if the price of grain is high now, the proportion of the farmer’s money and grain expenditure It’s a bit less, but the farm hires always have to eat. The ability to reduce these costs to 25% depends on their ability. In this way, the annual fixed expenditure of those official fields is more than 80% of their fields. There is a slight disturbance. , Sometimes the gods are not beautiful, and it rains a few times when your food is ripe, or some diseases and insect pests occur, that is a 100% loss of business!"

"Couldn't anyone rent it in Guantian in Ninghe County before?"

"In the past few days, I have inquired about it. In the past, it was not that the dignitaries who did not have Xuanyuan Hill wanted to fight Ninghe County's official land. It's just that everyone's land rent can only be up to 40%, no matter how high. , Then basically there is not much benefit, and like this year, there is no grain harvest in various places, and everyone does not know if the grain will grow in the future. Anything that has been planted with magic seeds will be affected, even if the seeds are okay, Production will also be affected. People everywhere are panicking, and no one dares to rent the official land in Ninghe County at such a high price. Master Duzai is famous in the Taixia officialdom with black hearts and black hands, and almost no one If I dare to offend, I really promised that Master Duzai rented over 100 million acres of official land in Ninghe County at this time with 50% of the land rent. The official land will be unsuccessful for several years. I am afraid that the average wealthy family will want this official land. It was dragged down to ruin..."

Zhang Tie shook his head. He knows the intentions of Superintendent. Master Superintendent is a big eater. He also wants to see his methods under the name of Thousand Chance Real Man. This hundred million twenty million acres of official land really has to be continuous. There is no harvest every year, and now the price of food in Taixia is so high, no matter which wealthy family puts in 60 million mu of farmland every year, it absolutely must vomit blood.

These words of Tang De, Zhang Tie is not in a hurry, he is well aware of it. Crisis is only a crisis for people without strength, but for people with strength, all crises are opportunities for further improvement.

Zhang Tie was not in a hurry, but his woman was a little anxious. Several women in the Spencer family looked at each other. They just thought about it in their hearts and felt that this was a big pit. Diana looked at Zhang Tie and said, " Has the Master Supervisor signed a contract with you? If not, you can talk to him again!"

Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, "I know what you mean, but in Taixia, not everything has to be signed to count!"

"Ah, how could this be?"

"Aixue, please explain to Diana, some customs of Taixia are different from the holy Kingdom of Iceland, especially the traditions of Evandara!"

"Okay!" Arche smiled and explained to the Spencer family woman.

Regardless of whether Lord Duzai or Zhang Tie, they are all people who say nothing. Since Lord Duzai has "leased" all the official land in Ninghe County to Zhang Tie, and the lease is 100 years, then no matter what. The contract contract, this agreement came into effect from the moment Master Supervisor left the Zhulong collar.

In Taixia, the so-called contracts are used by people who do small business. People with real status discuss and decide things, especially business matters. If someone else says, you have to get a contract. Signing and detaining others, in the eyes of many people, it is a suspicion and insult to themselves. This business is absolutely impossible to do. In general, the shopkeeper with a certain status in the big business group will not sign any contract, let alone Supervisors and Zhang Tie level figures.

From full-effect medicine to candle oil, these businesses are easily worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold coins each year, but Zhang Tie has never signed any contracts with anyone, so it's settled. Not only Zhang Tie, but his older brother Zhang Yang is in charge of the Golden Crow Business Group. Nowadays, he rarely signs any contract. When he reaches his older brother’s level, he can really negotiate business, negotiate a good deal, and give each other a high-five. Shake is the same.

The bet between Guan Qianzhong and Zhang Tie, the commander of the Black Armored Army, was the same, even the Taiyi Xuanmen, the head of Taixia’s seven major sects. The person who destroyed the Norai debt in Taixia was absolutely notorious, only once. , It's hard to get up.

This custom of Taixia is different from the business rules of the Western Continent and Evandala. In the Western Continent and Evandala, everyone is accustomed to acting in accordance with contracts and contracts, and they are used to writing those things and terms on paper. In Taixia, everything is straightforward. In Taixia, verbal agreements are often more effective.

"The contract between the Western Continent and Evandala is written on paper, while many contracts in the Eastern Continent are written on a person’s personality and reputation. Therefore, the agreement between the governor and the husband, even if there is no contract, is definitely It cannot be changed. If the husband breaks the contract, the reputation and reputation of the husband will be greatly affected!" Arche concluded.

Arche's words made Zhang Tiedu nod secretly. Hearing Arche's words, even Zhang Tie was wondering why some people would say that the Chinese people did not have the spirit of contract for a while before the cataclysm. This is simply nonsense.

"Ah, what can I do?" The women in the Spencer family frowned slightly.

"Sisters, don't worry, have you seen him worry?" Olena smiled and pointed to Zhang Tie.

Several women looked at Zhang Tie, and they found that Zhang Tie had only a calm and indifferent smile on his face. They didn't seem to mind the "big pit" that Master Governor had dug him.

Even Tang De was curious, looked at Zhang Tie from start to finish, hesitatingly asked, "Do you still know how to farm, why I haven't found it before!"

"My Thousand Chance Real Person is a man who has lost his reputation!" Zhang Tie said with a serious face...

This is Zhang Tie’s humor. In Zhang Tie’s imagination, he feels that people who hear such stinky things will look at him with contempt, and then "cut" them together. The atmosphere is relaxed and happy...

If it had been before, Tang De might have jumped up and hit his head directly-brat, he would have raised his tail again.

In fact, the reality is that after Zhang Tie said this sentence, he discovered that Tang De and Olena and the others all looked at him with admiration, their eyes gleaming, and they felt that he was not in a lively atmosphere. It was a solemn promise, and I didn't feel the "ingenious" humor in his words...

At this time, Zhang Tiecai suddenly realized that he really didn't seem to be suitable for such humor, because everyone would take what he said.

For a time, our Thousand Chance real person can only touch his nose, feeling lonely as snow...

Ninghe County is in the southeastern part of Yanzhou. From Zhulong County to Ninghe County, you only need to pass through Gaoping County in Yanzhou, and you will be there all the way south. There is only one Gaoping County between Zhulong collar and Ninghe County. This distance, for Zhang Tie, who owns a flying boat, is probably equivalent to a trip to the busiest business district in the city by a person living in a Class A big city, and to Ninghe County. The speed of the flying boat arrived in just over two hours. Zhang Tie had a few words with Tang De and the other ladies on the flying boat. The Tielong flying boat had already reached Ninghe County.

Looking down from the sky, the ground of Ninghe County looked like a piece of ink splashed over, and it was completely dark for thousands of miles.

It is estimated that no one on the flying boat has seen such a scene in their entire life.

The snow scene is white. Everyone has seen the scene of a thousand-mile snow scene. If the snow scene is changed to black, that is the scene on the ground in Ninghe County now...
