Chapter 22: The never-withered flower

After the first shareholders' meeting was over, many nobles had already sent their servants to get the money. Li En left the conference room with satisfaction, and the two maids and the witches were waiting for him at the door. The ice witch Sophie still had no expression, and she was wearing a garland given to her by Li En on her head. She didn't seem to notice that the flowers had withered. But even the withered garland still has a dilapidated beauty when worn on her head. In her hands was a transparent flower pot filled with soil and an unsprouted seed. This is her new friend, she has not yet named her. Anna was holding a file box in her hand, and there were various information about Li En in the box. Perhaps because Li En thought she was suitable for being a secretary, she always gave these things to her. Anne, who is determined to be a top tailor, is very satisfied with Lee En's outfit today because he is wearing a suit designed and sewn by himself.

Although his pants seemed to be tightened, Li En seemed too cautious when walking. Afraid that a big step will lead to a scene of social death. "Annie, you are very talented in design. Have you ever considered opening a clothing store to let everyone wear the clothes you make? As for the money you open, you don't have to worry about, I can invest." Li En had long felt that the Krinolin skirts needed to be improved. Those big skirts could easily cause many disadvantages. Not only were they easy to fall off on high walls, but they were difficult to escape from fires. They even had to be very careful when getting on the carriage. If we create a smaller and more exquisite puffy skirt, remove the waist and skirt, and untie women's constraints, we will definitely become popular in the shade of green. Annie frowned, "Mr. Li En, your dress is made by my sister, not me." "Well, Anna, do you have this idea?" Lee En looked at Anna. Anna smiled without saying a word. Annie replied, "Sister doesn't like to make clothes for too many people. She just wants to be a top tailor." "Of course, Anna is only responsible for the design, and let the sewing women be responsible for making clothes. Anna is a top tailor." Li En said. Annie thought for a while and nodded slightly, "I think my sister will agree, but my sister has no idea about women's clothing for the time being." "It's better to start with the improved skirt support. The skirt support from 4 to 5 meters is too small and cannot reflect the elegance of aristocratic ladies at all." Li En knew that she could only talk to a woman with a rebellious personality like Annie. Annie nodded, "Sister will shrink the skirt support to within 1 meter, or even cancel the skirt support directly." Anna said, "The wives will feel that they are not elegant enough." "Then you have to see who you are." Li En looked at the witch lady Sophie.

If Sophie was asked to wear the new dress first, the ambiguous noble ladies and ladies in the neck would definitely rush to imitate. This is the star effect. Annie also found her flaw in making men's clothing. She suspected that she did not know enough about the male signs. If Lee En could make her measure up close, she would definitely be able to make clothes that fit. Unfortunately, she would never measure Li En personally. Because this will reveal the truth that she wants to be a top tailor, not Anna wants to be a top tailor. "Sophie, it's time to change your garland. Maybe we can go to the flower shop." Lee En pointed to the garland on Sophie's head. Sophie shook her head, her expression stubborn. "Uh... I'll give you the eternal flower next time." "What is the flower of immortality?" Anne asked curiously. Sophie and Anna also looked at Lee Eun. "It's a flower that will never wither and will never bloom." Lee En explained. "It will never wither, oh, fake flowers, made of fabric, glass or metal, without any beauty or vitality." Anne said. Li En twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's indeed a fake flower, but it's not that bad either." "Miss Li En attaches great importance to Miss Sophie. The flowers that will never wither symbolize unswerving love." Anna said with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she always felt that there was something unknown hidden in it. Unswerving love? Sophie thought, her cheeks gradually turning red. She picked up the potted seeds that had not yet sprouted, blocking her face. "Even if I want to give it, it will take time, and it will take time to make the Immortal Flower." Li En said. "Maybe it will be a lifetime." Anne added. Spend your whole life making a flower for yourself? Sophie thought, her cheeks turned red again. She picked up the seeds that had not yet sprouted and lifted them a little higher.

"It doesn't take so long, mainly because I don't know how to do it." Li En said. Sophie put down the potted plant in a little disappointed manner. "So, I decided to give Sophie a flower wreath every day." Sophie's eyes flashed again, and she hugged her flowerpot with satisfaction. Until they got on the carriage. Lee began to talk about the important matter with the Chancellor of the Finance Minister Omari Hani. "Although we have been in the green shade for three consecutive years, our lords' lives are quite happy. They are poorer than the nobles and wealthy businessmen, but they are already richer than other lords. Otherwise, How could it be possible to hold a party every now and then?” Minister of Finance Omari Hani suddenly said proudly, "We received less than half of the taxes in Green Shade. In fact, if Lord Molia was willing to increase taxes, our financial situation would be much better." "So, our constituents are also likely to make deposits." It seems that Lao Deng is not useless, and he also knows to improve the happiness index of the people. Is this his way of retreat for himself? If you can’t pay back your bank loans, will you increase your taxes? "Yes, this is one of the reasons why I support you in opening a bank. Our residents can deposit money, it depends on whether they are willing or not. Of course, not everyone has the ability, because there are lazy people and destiny everywhere. Poor people who are not good.” Omari Hani then popularized taxes for Li En to various territories. “There are many types of tax revenues across the country, and they are divided into four categories in total. "First, it is the tax levied on traffic. It includes toll taxes passing through roads, bridges, rivers, shallows, etc. and vehicle taxes. The most common one is toll tax, with a total of 21 types. "The second is the taxes imposed on goods, which are mainly aimed at merchants, with a total of 113 types. "The third is market and sales tax and licensing tax. If you want to do business in every field, you must pay licensing tax... “Fourth, there are safety taxes and window taxes for everyone… “The above four types add up to more than 160 taxes. "But we only levied 10 taxes. It is precisely because of this that the population of levitra increased from tens of thousands at the beginning to two million today." Speaking of the glorious past of the Green Shade Leader, the three ministers showed a proud expression on their faces. "Unfortunately, we still owe Imperial Bank huge loans. If we forcefully increase large tax items, we will scare the leaders away." Carrel Dennis sighed. "Karel, hasn't Lord Li En solved this problem? No need to sigh anymore." Alex Poole said. "Omari, I don't think you should focus on those civilians. How much money can they have? The branch is just a decoration, mainly in the inner city banks. The deposits of the nobles are the key to solving the problem." Carrell Dennis said.

Omari Hani thinks Carrel Dennis is right, and the deposits of the nobles are the key. "That's right, Imperial Banks have thresholds, and our thresholds cannot be too low." "The branches do not need to set thresholds. It is precisely because Imperial Bank only targets those big customers, whether it is deposits or loans, they only target aristocrats, so we don't do this. We want to make a difference from Imperial Bank." Li En interrupted the three people's conversation and said, "The branch can store everyone's deposits. As long as they are willing to deposit, this is also a kind of guarantee for them, but most importantly, for those civilians with good reputation, we can Open loan business.” The three ministers looked at each other, "Lend to civilians?"
