Chapter 436: Count for Yourself
Although doing business is really profitable, Tian Dan is also very handy.
But he was really unhappy.
Yes, he was very worried when he saw so much money every day.
Someone else's pain is that there is no money, and his pain is because there is too much money.
If Tian Dan and Ma's father are allowed to meet, it is estimated that the two will have a lot of common language.
After receiving the notice, Tian Dan finally felt a trace of happiness.
Finally, I don't have to think of a way to make money.
Do you think that you are working so hard to make money for yourself?
Of course not!
He must show his talent in business, and only in this way can his Majesty trust him and think that he is capable of managing the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce.
Now he has succeeded.
Therefore, he didn't think about the matter of farm tools at all, and directly handed it over to the imperial court to be responsible.
Even his own founding team was sent over.
Since Tian Dan was a newly appointed official, it was not a good time to enter the cabinet.
And his business department is currently just a framework, with three or two kittens, and almost none of them can really be used.
Most of them are salted fish officials who work in and out of work.
But it's really no wonder that they didn't pay attention to this at all, although the Ministry of Commerce had already been established.
However, the empire's energy in the past two years has been focused on war preparation, and the Ministry of Commerce has naturally lost room for development.
But now it's different, they have a real Shangshu, and His Majesty has also asked the Ministry of Officials to start deploying officials to fill the Ministry of Commerce.
But the specific candidate still needs to be considered by Tian Dan.
Of course, at this time, it originated from the fact that the king was not hungry, and professional things were done by professionals.
The Ministry of Commerce also needs professional talents, and those low-level officials may be able to be cultivated slowly, but some officials in major positions must know how to do it.
Therefore, in the appointment and dismissal of personnel, Tian Dan still has a certain right to speak.
And this also shows the importance that the empire attaches to the development of the Ministry of Commerce, if you don't have this mind, you will be fooled by it casually.
After Tian Dan took office, he began to consider the construction of the Ministry of Commerce and the arrangement of work.
Although he regained power, Tian Dan was more careful than before.
I know what my identity is, and this matter is both an opportunity and a danger for me, and it depends on how to operate it.
Today, the Council of Ministers did not come to the meeting without hunger.
As a stallion......
Oh no!
It is as an emperor that has the obligation and responsibility to give birth to more next generations for the empire.
Well, his queen is on the verge of giving birth again, so Wang Buxing temporarily put down some things and concentrates on staying by the queen's side.
Soon after becoming emperor, Wang was not hungry and canonized Chen Wei as the empress.
Now the eldest son of the empire will run around in a hurry, and the king is not hungry and has two sons and a daughter, considering that he has been on the throne for two years, although he has five women, but the ministers are still very satisfied with the efficiency of the king is not hungry.
The queen's birth is a major event, but it is also the emperor's family affair.
Now it is just that the time is almost up, and there are no real signs yet, so it is obviously impossible for these ministers to be lazy.
After Zhang Liang stepped down, the Zhongshu Order was temporarily vacant, and the Ministry of Shangshu was also vacant.
At present, the Ministry of Books and the Ministry of Officials are in charge of deputy positions.
As for the reason, of course everyone knows.
Wang Bu was still undead on Zhang Liang, and almost every once in a while he pulled Zhang Liang over to chatter.
Even the bitter love scene was arranged, but Zhang Liang refused to agree to continue to serve as the Zhongshu Ling.
And Wang Bu is not hungry seems to be on a par with Zhang Liang, if you don't come, I won't appoint new officials, and then let the officials of Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Officials go to Zhang Liang's door every once in a while to cry, hoping that Zhang Liang can change his mind.
As for the body, Zhang Liang's health is indeed not very good, which is also proved by the imperial doctor, but most of them are some chronic diseases, and through this year's recuperation, his physical condition has been much better than before he left office.
And the first thing that can't bear it is that the king is not hungry.
One day or two is fine, but after a year of consumption, he can also feel that there are some inadequacies in the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Officials.
It's really the two current adjutants, and they don't have the ability to support these two departments for the time being.
In desperation, Wang Bu was hungry and had no choice but to transfer Cao Shen, who served as the county guard in Qidi, back to Luoyang two months ago as the secretary of the ministry.
But the post of Zhongshu Ling is still vacant.
"Qi Hou, you need to come up with a charter as soon as possible from the Ministry of Commerce, in less than a month, the Ministry of Officials will start this year's official arrangements, if you drag it out any longer, this year's good seedlings will be snatched away by others!" Cao Shen found Tian Dan and said directly.
The others grinned, but could do nothing.
This is what the emperor explained, this year's officials, let Tian Dan pick first, even if he takes a fancy to the officials who are serving in some departments, the departments have to release people to him.
And to give Tian Dan so much power and support, as a price, of course, starting next year, the commercial tax revenue of the imperial court must be increased by more than 20%, and the task of doubling must be completed within three years.
Is it difficult?
It's really hard to just look at it.
But it's actually not that difficult, it's as simple as getting a street writer who only has a 100 yuan a month to get 200 yuan after three months.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but everything is also easy at the beginning, as long as you find the right way, it is actually very easy to do.
What's more, the current Han Dynasty does not have much commercial tax revenue, and Tian Dan only needs to continue to increase the sales of farm tools, and he will be able to complete the goal of 20% next year.
"Well, I need the support of a capable person from the three provinces, and I also need the support of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry......" Tian Dan thought for a while and said.
"Given! Whoever you fancy you take away directly! Xiao He nodded directly.
Chen Ping thought about it for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Cang wanted to refuse, but the bigwigs agreed, if he didn't even want to support people, wouldn't it be a solid nickname for Zhang Xuan?
Wang Ling actually wanted to refuse the most, because he felt that this might be Tian Dan's revenge on him, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he had taken such a big advantage from him, and this matter for himself could be regarded as turning the page.
"It's just this time, the Ministry of Industry is now the time to use people, and the old man can't break a person in half to use it!" Wang Ling gritted his teeth and reminded.
"If you break someone in half, Your Majesty will have to break you in half!" Chen Ping quipped.
Sixty and a half, isn't it just five horses......
"Tell me what you think, while it's not too busy now, let's settle this matter as soon as possible, and how to cooperate in the future, develop industry and commerce as soon as possible, and the court has money, and it will be easy to do whatever you want." Chen Ping said again.
They are really laymen in developing the economy, although they don't want to admit it, but in this matter, they really have to listen to Tian Dan's advice.
And when Zhang Liang found Tian Dan, he said that he might make him a secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, so Tian Dan has been thinking about this issue for more than a year.
So this question is difficult for Tian Dan, in fact, the emperor has long given the line, industry and commerce, industry and commerce.
What is work?
When you make a product, you call it work!
What is a quotient?
When you sell your goods, you're called a merchant!
It seems complicated, but it's actually very simple.
"First of all, we must ensure that the farmland in various places cannot be abandoned, so the Ministry of Commerce needs to know an approximate figure, how many people can be dispatched from various places to participate in this matter?"
"Secondly, the development of industry should be divided into two, the first of which is the brick and stone business, at least in every county, is to build a brick mill, what needs to be determined at present is, how to build? Who will build it? Is it the imperial court coming directly? Or will it be left to the local government? Or did the court provide the technology and supervision, and leave it to those who had the guarantors? This needs to be discussed again! ”
"But what is certain is that the masonry business must be done, which is a necessity for building a house, and after the large-scale rollout, it is necessary to reduce the price of masonry and ensure a certain profit margin."
"The other is other aspects, every county has the characteristics of each county, so the local government needs to cooperate, the local characteristics are concentrated, for example, the cloth in a certain place is famous all over the world, then the local government will concentrate on production, so that the cloth merchants can directly come here to pull the cloth to other places to sell, and for example, if the hemp planted in a certain county is of good quality, you can increase the planting area, sell the hemp to other counties or produce it yourself."
"Although the life of the people is much better than in previous years, they are still relatively poor, and they don't have much money in their hands except for food."
Therefore, in this regard, it is hoped that the imperial court can increase the promotion of various projects when conditions permit. When the people can make money, they will naturally dare to spend money, and when the people dare to spend money, the goods will naturally be sold, and the more goods will be sold, and the more taxes the court can receive. ”
"In addition, I also calculated an account, our tax is actually seventy and a half taxes!" Finally, Tian Dan said.
"What? Seventy percent and a half tax one? Hearing this result, Chen Ping was stunned and a little surprised.
Hasn't the imperial court always enforced according to the fifteenth tax?
Why is this a seventy and a half tax?
"To be exact, it's not just seventy and a half taxes, the real tax rate is higher than this!" Zhang Cang glanced at Tian Dan, and secretly scolded Zhente Niang in his heart for not recommending you in vain, and sold the old man when he came up.
Although there is no way to hide the account book of the household department in the end, but few people will go to see some detailed rules, basically Zhang Cang will tell the emperor these detailed rules, for other ministers, of course, it is mainly to fool, so that they can't guess the depth of the household, so as not to guess how much money the household department has.
But now that this topic has been brought up by Tian Dan, he has no way to hide it.
"Let's give an example, take the new plough as an example, the cost of the Ministry of Industry is calculated according to ten yuan, and the profit is forty yuan, although the Ministry of Industry did not pay taxes, but then the old man will suggest that His Majesty let the Ministry of Industry pay taxes, otherwise this day will not be able to pass, and Qi Hou's previous profit is also forty yuan, so, the Ministry of Industry is fifteen taxes one, Qi Hou fifteen taxes are one, isn't this seventy percent and a half taxes?"
"In addition, the Ministry of Industry needs to buy iron and wood, which are just the property of the imperial court, so they do not pay taxes, but at other times, those who sell materials to the Ministry of Industry are also profitable, and they also have to pay fifteen taxes, so you can count them yourself......"
