As for how many people can really understand, then Liu Yu doesn't care.

If you really don't even have this ability, then just lie down and be a big fat sheep.

After saying this, everyone was shocked, and the businessmen present really didn't expect it, and they didn't dare to think that Liu Yu would say this.

Even if Liu Yu suddenly changed his face and forced them to "donate", they would not be surprised.

These words...... didn't talk about their hearts, but when it came to their hearts, they secretly guessed one by one, thinking that this would be the attitude of the imperial court?

Could it be that the imperial court wanted to say this, but it was not good to say so, so it only asked Ying Suobo to come forward to talk?

Or is it really what Eagle Saobo thinks?

Shinong industrial and commercial furniture as a whole? This, this seems like nonsense.

Although over the years, the Southern Confucian faction has also had a lot of similar voices, but some words are really difficult to say too much.

More explanations of righteousness and benefit are aimed at officials. As an official, it is necessary to make political achievements, which is called utilitarianism, and this utilitarianism can reflect righteousness.

This is not to say that the businessman's actions are in accordance with the general righteousness.

A few people with bright brains pondered these words, feeling that although they didn't understand Confucianism and were not masters, they seemed to make sense, and they could spend money to find someone to interpret them well.

Some people also think that it is good to listen to this, and their hearts are happy.

It's better to have more than one thing and less to do it, just hold it in your heart and think about it, but don't make any trouble.

Na Tou Benbai cried bitterly and thought that he was a bosom friend, but it did not appear.

There is also the most important reason, that is, the "cultural level" of this group of people is not very good.

They may know how to engage in the textile industry, how to engage in trade, how to keep accounts and how to lend, and even know how to predict the futures of Liaodong soybeans next year, but few of them can be called Confucianism.

Fortunately, Liu Yu is also a half-hanger, half-hangers say half-hangers, and those who listen are also half-hangers, and everyone can understand them to this extent.

After understanding it, he naturally wanted to praise a few words, and the direction of this praise was something Liu Yu never expected.

"Uncle Ying is really a gentleman, it turns out that this is the truth, which is really incomprehensible to us vulgar villains."

"Yes, yes, the eagle is really righteous and righteous to seek its own benefits, and to know its way and calculate its merits......"

A good discussion about righteousness and profit, and under the inertia of the times, it has become a personal praise meeting.

Liu Yu was also a little helpless, and said with a smile: "In this case, there is no need to say it." If a cook can be praised by a good person, he is happy. But if you ask someone who has been hungry for a few days to praise it, it doesn't sound interesting. ”

"You know a fart gentleman? But if you praise me a few words, I will really make money, and I may be able to make good things in my heart. ”

Naturally, this topic was brought aside, and in the midst of laughter, no one thought about the first doubt raised by Lin Yunwen.

But for the second question, Liu Yu didn't answer it from the front at all, but used the way he didn't want to reassure everyone.

"In my family, the fourth and fifth lords. Where I have a stake, I can guarantee that no one will make a fuss out of nothing, let alone be implicated. Is this reason enough? ”

"As for the court...... It's not a day's work, but you can take your time. In the future, if you really pay enough taxes to make one party rich, then there is a sense of what you say. ”

"If not, how can we make a change?"

The second question that the merchants were concerned about was whether the imperial court could protect the property of the merchants and establish a law to clarify the responsibilities of the joint-stock company.

In essence, in fact, it is whether the strength of the merchant can make the imperial court make a compromise, which is won by himself.

But Liu Yu's answer was, "Because we have an emperor who is not subject to any law, and my family is the emperor's fifth-generation loyal dog, I can guarantee that your shares will not be robbed by others." ”

Another interpretation of this sentence is, "Because we have an emperor who is not bound by any law, the emperor wants to take away your property, and no one can control it." ”

The meaning is one meaning, which is nothing more than the front and back of the baked cake.

Liu Yuxin said that you don't have the ability to force the emperor to legislate, but you are dreaming here, waiting for the emperor to take the initiative to bring you what you think of.

Since you want to eat a fart, I'll give you a fart.

The taste of this fart is quite strong, and the merchants are very useful.

All want to, but also, the fourth and fifth lords of the Ying Sao family, this kind of relationship, this kind of status, such a status, as long as he participates in the shares, it is naturally no one dares to touch his rules. As long as he wants to evade taxes, who dares to collect them?

Now it seems that Ying Sabo is also very different from the others, and the silver thrown out by this trading company before is also a million taels, and he has never been moved.

There are also guarantees, how not?

There are two sides to the baked cake, and naturally some people will think, if something happens to the Yiguo Gong and Ying Sabo families in the future, won't we all be affected?

There are both positive and negative thoughts, and this thing is easier to do.

Originally, there were not a lot of shares to be raised, and those who were willing to pay were enough, Liu Yu just wanted to lead the trend, form a strong style of the pre-capitalist era in Songjiang, and form a capital flow between the north and the south.

Capital has to be mobilized, and it can't all be hoarded in the cellars of each family.

I also know that there will be people who will cringe because of this, but there will also be people who will be willing to gamble. Sometimes, it's a bunch of gamblers, not conservatives, who move the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when we speak of the impossibility of touching this property, let us know that it is taxable. The more taxes you pay, the more stable your property will be. ”

"I also inquired about the tax laws of Westerners, such as this glass, which is taxed according to the raw material. A certain tax is charged for each load of raw materials. ”

"In the glass industry, we didn't have it before. Since there is no competition, I think it is better than this. ”

"The glass produced in the future, each piece of which is taxed on a few cents of silver or a few cents of silver, cannot be escaped, and it is convenient to record."

"This tax, since we took the initiative to ask for it, we will pay it to the customs."

"In addition, I think this stock transaction also has to pay a certain tax, so that the yamen can be the master, what do you think?"

If it is anything else, it is naturally unwilling to pay taxes in this way.

But glass, matches, and even stocks are all things that come out of nothing. The interests of the people to be touched are not there for the time being.

If the rules are set down first, and there is no competition, the businessmen must be willing.

Because...... What does the tax on glass have to do with merchants?

The one who pays the tax is the one who buys the glass.

Under the technology monopoly, there is no competition, so there is no need to compete by tax avoidance, but to pass on the tax to the buyer, why not?

And even if it is several times cheaper than the glass of Westerners, and those who may be able to afford glass, matches, cigarette rolls, and stocks, they must still have money, and such taxes are comfortable.

As for why it should be handed over to customs, everyone knows it in their hearts.

In this customs, there are "own people". That must be to pave a political achievement for oneself.

Although he is not afraid of the county officials, he is only afraid of the current management, and although the official position of his own people in the customs is not high, the power behind his own people is great, how can the people present not understand the key to this?

The imperial court has never collected a glass tax, and this tax is paid on its own initiative, so it is natural to give it to whoever it wants.

Moreover, the customs is directly reported to the capital, and some of them are taken by the internal funds.

Merchants have always regarded taxation as a kind of "bribery", anyway, they are all bribes, and wouldn't it be better to bypass the middlemen and bribe directly to the capital and even the emperor? Who could have more power than the Emperor?

Taking the initiative to pay taxes is rare in ancient times.

Liu Yu is a villain first and then a gentleman, he makes things clear, if he accepts it, he will join the shares, and if he doesn't accept it, he will not enter.

Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

He took this opportunity to talk nonsense about the "meaning of taxation".

The merchants thought, who wants to listen to such? Taxes are meaningless, what do they have to do with me? Even if there is war, it will not be able to mess with our heads, and if we fight Dzungaria and Rakshasa, what good will we wait for? It stands to reason that this level tax should be the people of Gansu, Guan Jiangnan's fart matter?

However, it is nothing more than paying more taxes, so that the court can support it in the future.

Among all the people here, the happiest one is Tian Ping.

He had long heard Liu Yu talk about the idea of collecting stamp duty on stock transactions, and he had also talked to Liu Yu about customs and tariff reform and commercial tax reform.

I thought that after all, I was my own person, and I might still be my own family in the future, so I didn't forget myself.

Your own money is one thing, and the money you hand in is another.

followed Liu Yu into the shares, and made his own money.

The money handed over is directly concerned about his future, and as long as the future is there, money is not a problem.

Tian Ping's mind was no longer on what Liu Yu said, but always staring at how much money could be raised by the shares this time.

According to the tax rate of 23/1000 per share, it is already extremely low, but if the amount is large, it is also a few thousand taels of silver.

Songjiang Customs collects tens of thousands of taels a year, if there are thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels all of a sudden, isn't it a "capable official"?

Since taxes are collected, it is natural to ensure the interests of these people. Tian Ping said in his heart that this is simple, Songjiang is just a government, and Fu Yin is nothing, this is a non-existent tax, and Fu Yin does not dare to rob himself of his political achievements.

It is impossible to be a big official in the future, the eldest brother in the family will attack the lord, and it is impossible for the court to let him do too much. But if the commission is positive, it is a way out.

Listening to Liu Yu's way of raising shares, I became more and more happy, it seems that most of the headquarters of all the workshops formed by raising shares are located in Songjiang, and this tax will naturally have to be paid to Songjiang.

In these transactions, the merchants felt that there were big profits, small profits, and uncertain losses.

I feel that it is enough to make a lot of money, such as glass, alkaline noodles and other workshops, these technologies are either not known to Westerners, or Westerners will be transported but the consumption is too great.

I feel that I may make a small profit, such as cigarette rolls, matches, etc., this should not sound like a loss, but it is a novelty, and it is difficult to say how much you can earn.

Feeling uncertain about gains and losses, such as munitions, iron smelting, gunpowder, building ships, etc.

Through the attitudes of these businessmen, Liu Yu can judge the status of these industries in the hearts of businessmen, as well as their expectations of the future.

It can only be said that it is amazing that the businessman's prospect is exactly the opposite of what he understands. The interest of businessmen in such a big deal as investing in arms is not very high.

In this case, the risk was shared, and all the workshops were tied together, and they subscribed to the shares of the workshops such as glass, alkali flour, cigarettes, etc., and also subscribed to a fixed proportion of munitions, iron smelting, etc.

It's all tradeable anyway, and we'll talk about it later.

After completing the subscription and fundraising on the spot, the corners of Tian Ping's mouth have risen to the point of revealing his back molars, and the customs silver escorted into Beijing this year must be skyrocketing.
