Lu Chensheng's words made Li Daifu open his mouth slightly, and after he came back to his senses half-soundingly, his face was full of helplessness.

"The shopkeeper's love for the people is admired by the subordinate officials, but if the shopkeeper occupies many cities in the future, he will also collect taxes like this?

Now Xinghan City has made a profit of about 500,000 taels of silver this year, deducting various expenses, as well as Yulu, etc., and the remaining silver is full, and it can also be used for the expenses of a city.

If the shopkeeper has won dozens of cities, how can he afford to support so many cities? So many officials, so many soldiers?

The shopkeeper made a start, so that the tax is so low, and it will be unfavorable to want to raise it in the future, if it is not raised, it will be in a state of making ends meet, and the shopkeeper will think twice! ”

Li Daifu was also helpless.

The shopkeeper's idea is naturally good, but you can't just do it like that.

The source of the world's taxes is the people, and relying on thousands of people can maintain the operation of a country, support the huge military salary, and the wear and tear of equipment.

And the money, and the spending in some parts of the huge country, and so on.

At the moment, it is just a small star Hancheng, so naturally there is no need to worry so much, and it is enough to be self-sufficient.

It's just that the goal of the shopkeeper is not just such a little place, so such a policy can't be messed up.

He has a far-sighted vision, and he also hopes that the shopkeeper can look more in the future.

Star Seoul City is now blessed with so much silver, and it is not realistic to want to promote a model like Sing Han City to every place, right?

This guy has a good eye.

Regarding Li Daifu's words, Lu Chensheng didn't mean to be angry, and the other party's thinking was still very good.

According to the country in the agrarian era, the taxes of the common people are naturally extremely important, and only in the industrial age will the economy enter the rapid development.

In the era of agriculture, the economy was extremely stable, basically maintaining a parallel line.

Naturally, the people's taxes became the top priority.

"You really think well, but I know it in my heart, and I have my considerations, so you can rest assured that the people's taxes will come from this."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said a word to the other party.

Lu Chensheng said this, Li Daifu opened his mouth slightly, and then he could only nod, respond, and then wrote down the matter.

"In addition, for the merchants, there is a need to carry out a tax, all who open a shop in Xinghan City, the tax is based on the monthly profit, and the monthly profit is more than ten taels of silver and less than fifty taels of silver, and the tax is charged at ten percent of the total profit.

and if the tax is more than fifty taels of silver, and if it is less than one hundred taels of silver, it shall be taxed at twenty percent of the total profits.

If the profit is more than 100 taels of silver, the tax shall be 28% of the total profit.

In addition, when foreign goods are sent to Xinghan City, they will charge 5% of the goods as the entry tax, and Xinghan City provides a place to trade, and ensures their safety and the safety of goods, it makes no sense that they don't spend a penny. ”

Lu Chensheng said, Li Daifu on the side hurriedly wrote it down, and then wiped his sweat.

"My lord, is this tax too high? If the tax amount is raised in this way, I am afraid that those merchants will not come in the future, especially those foreigners. ”

Li Daifu had a slight embarrassment on his face.

"You should know more about these merchants, they will not come easily, and charge them five percent of the price for goods, which is not much.

They came to Xinghan City for a trip, and the goods they brought relied on the lack of resources in Xinghan City, and they could earn a lot of money every time they came, and after buying goods in Xinghan City, it was easy to earn dozens of taels of silver at a time when they went back.

Your annual income is only a few dollars, and people can easily earn dozens of taels of silver at a time.

As for the foreigners, what other options do they have but to come here? If you go to those side plugs, you can't be killed like a pig? Besides, the side plugs are not very friendly to them, and some things are forbidden to be sold.

When they come here, they can buy what they want, and the cattle and sheep they bring are taxed at a rate of 5 percent. ”

Lu Chensheng doesn't think that this kind of tax collection will be considered too much.

When Li Daifu heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth, he really didn't expect that these businessmen would be able to make so much money when they came here.

As soon as he thought of this, he originally felt that he had a lot of money, but now compared with these businessmen, he found that he had so little.

"I heard before that there were officials in the city who actually collected some money from businessmen, and I thought that the other party was too stupid, and they still collected those money when they had such a high salary, but now I heard what the shopkeeper said, and I found that there really seemed to be some reasons for people to collect money."

As soon as these words came out, some people on the side were suddenly dissatisfied.

"That's this guy who doesn't know what to do! Master Li, don't say that you don't know, in the rest of Xinghan City, there are still many people who don't have enough to eat!

Now the people in Xinghan City can already eat enough, and now you are comparing the people of Xinghan City with those businessmen who are rich in the world, do you think this comparison is appropriate?

The shopkeeper's salary is already very high, and compared with the officials in other places, the shopkeeper has never treated them badly!

He actually dared to eat the shopkeeper's money, and relied on the right given by the shopkeeper to use his power for personal gain and should be killed! ”

The guards on the side raised their brows, and their faces were full of murderous energy.

Li Daifu also felt that he had lost his words, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Xia Guan didn't mean this, but he was a little emotional for a while, so he said the wrong thing."

Li Daifu said with some trepidation.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and motioned for him to get up.

"Don't be so frightened, but a few words won't cure you."

Lu Chensheng's words made Li Daifu breathe a sigh of relief, and after touching the sweat on his forehead, he stood up.

"This is how to explain the taxes, don't underestimate the businessmen, the future income will basically depend on them."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and motioned to the other party to follow this release policy, "By the way, by the way, the land outside the city has been planned, and if you want to cultivate, you can get the place and farm." ”

"Yes!"

The planning of the fields outside was originally the responsibility of Li Daifu, and now the distribution of the fields is naturally done by him.

Regarding the shopkeeper's instructions, Li Daifu naturally nodded again and again, not daring to slack off.

After solving the matter of Li Daifu here, Lu Chensheng continued to flip down, looking at the rest of the things to be dealt with.

Teaching in the academy for a day, this accumulated undealt with things, in an instant, is too much.
