Chapter 290 Secret Talk
Just as Grandpa Sun Hong and his grandson were happily looking at the interior decoration of the Red Mansion Inn, which they had never seen before.
Sun Shan finally ended his secret conversation with Zhang Pingan and Chen Kun.
The main issue is how to ensure the normal operation and safe transition of Hengzhou City during the cold winter months, with the influx of people coming to visit relatives, buy houses and shop at the end of the year.
Then, the Coal Bureau, which had already been established, was faced with the problem of how to deal with the massive amount of coal transported to Hengzhou by water.
With the current carrying capacity of the wharf and the wharf area, basically every ship that comes to Hengzhou for loading and unloading has to stay on the river for two to three days before there is a place to unload the goods.
Moreover, this has just started to operate. Once it is fully operational, there will definitely be more ships with even larger carrying capacity coming.
Therefore, building docks, expanding the area of the docks, and building more cargo yards and warehouses became the only option.
Fortunately, after some detailed discussions, Datong Chamber of Commerce and Hengzhou Yamen reached an agreement on the Hengzhou Wharf Bureau, which would be established under the name Hengzhou Wharf, but would actually be invested, constructed and operated by Datong Chamber of Commerce.
Among them, the investment from Zhang Zhizhou's Zhang family accounted for 10%, the free provision of the venue by Hengzhou government accounted for 20%, and of the remaining 70%, 20% was reserved for the royal Yang family who was about to be involved, and the rest was packaged by Datong Chamber of Commerce.
However, this time the Royal Yang family must invest in cash because the land and the dock are provided by the Hengzhou Yamen, unlike the Coal and Smelting Bureau, which can supply minerals.
In addition, after the new dock is completed, like Datong Real Estate, it will have to pay 5% business tax, 1% education tax, and 1% urban infrastructure tax to the Hengzhou government.
In this way, the tax revenue of the entire Hengzhou will probably increase to a higher level.
In this regard, Sun Shan proposed to Zhang Pingan that the hundreds of thousands of tax silver collected this year must be spent as soon as possible.
All this enviable tax money will be invested in the construction of Hengzhou City after the new year.
In this way, we can avoid being forced to pay, and we can also improve the infrastructure of the entire Hengzhou more quickly and get greater returns in the future.
For example, one percent of the education tax must be spent on schools and students, renovating or expanding existing county and prefectural schools, improving the treatment of students, and providing relief and subsidies to students and scholars from poor families.
Another thing is to re-plan the roads in Hengzhou City and make the old city of Hengzhou well-connected.
Moreover, the construction of roads and underground drainage and sewage channels must be planned with high standards and high requirements.
It is guaranteed that there will be no need for excavation and reconstruction within the next thirty to fifty years.
Then, we will cooperate with the Datong Chamber of Commerce on both sides of the road to build various shops and public facilities, so that the entire old city of Hengzhou will be completely renewed within one or two years.
Zhang Pingan and Chen Kun actually understood the series of demands and concerns raised by Sun Shan.
This is for Hengzhou, and for their own good, and for the huge amount of tax silver that the Hengzhou government collected from the Datong Chamber of Commerce.
If these tax silvers are not spent according to Sun Shan’s plans.
The result in the future would be that either it would be forcibly taken away by the higher-level Chuzhou government, or it would be devoured completely by those jackals in the court who smelled the scent.
If you don't cooperate, you may lose your job at best, or even your life at worst.
Moreover, maybe they are already planning how to replace me before this term expires.
What is even more worrying is that with so much tax silver lying in the treasury of the government office, any loss or embezzlement or less would be punishable by death.
So, during this period of time, Zhang Pingan went from being initially excited to gradually becoming restless day and night.
So, when he heard the series of ways to spend money proposed by Sun Shan, he happily took Sun Shan's hand and said thank you repeatedly.
This time, the private meeting between the three lasted for two hours.
Even while dining, we chatted while eating.
Until about three or five years later, with such a momentum of development, the new city of Hengzhou had to be built.
After vaguely nodding at the approximate direction and location, the three of them adjourned the meeting happily.
My God, a new city right next to the old city would be such a huge opportunity to make a fortune!
"Advisor Sun, you are finally done-----"
The Sun family member who was arranged by the Chamber of Commerce to report, saw Sun Shan finally appear, and couldn't help muttering and hurried forward to greet him.
"Come on, what do you want? How long have you been waiting?"
"Advisor Sun, I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour. The president asked me to report to you that the old patriarch of Mianzhou has arrived at the Red House Inn. He originally invited you to dinner, but it may have already started now."
"Oh, let's get started."
Sun Shan smiled indifferently.
He was not like the tribesmen in this world who were extremely excited about the arrival of the main branch from Mianyang.
In his view, it is nothing more than an exchange of interests.
By taking advantage of the common ancestor and the same surname, the two families that had been completely intertwined with each other for interests were brought together again through the distribution of interests.
This depends on the ability and mentality of the leaders of each family.
"Let's go, we can talk while we walk."
After quickly jumping onto the rickshaw, Sun Shan asked Sun Zilai who came to greet them, "Where did they go when they came in the afternoon? Who did they look for?"
"Replying to Advisor Sun, the old clan leader took his eldest grandson to the newly renovated Datong community, and then they went straight back to the Red Building."
As he spoke, Sun Zilai recalled the news that had just arrived and quickly added, "According to reports, when the old clan leader was in Datong Community, he met your classmate Zeng Guofan and it seemed that they had some exchanges."
"In addition, when they entered the Red Mansion, they chatted with our Sun Ziqiang for a long time."
"Haha, what a coincidence, this old man always knows some people wherever he goes."
After saying this, Sun Shan asked about the arrangements between his own family and the Sun family in Chenzhou.
"We have the Third Grandfather and the Chairman here, plus you, the Chief of the Changjiang clan from Chenzhou, and it seems that Vice Chairman Sun Ping and several others are also here. As for the people from Mianyang, there are quite a few coming this time, so in total, there are 21 people."
"so much?"
Hearing the number twenty-one, Sun Shan couldn't help but mutter, it seems that the Mianyang main branch has a lot of intentions this time.
In this cold winter month, close to the Chinese New Year, he brought so many people here, he must be determined to win.
I couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
Then he said, "Get off the car now, go to the palace, and ask Princess Ke Xin to come-----"
As he said this, he felt something was not right, so he quickly changed his words: "You get off first, I'll go over and invite them myself. If they have already started, you can go back to the Red Mansion and ask them to prepare again."
Upon hearing what Sun Shan said, the driver in front immediately stopped by the roadside.
Because Sun Shan's voice was quite loud, and it was obvious that he was also giving orders to himself.
