Chapter 607: Commercial Taxes Seek Stability, Pepper is Expensive (Sixth, Reward for Everyone Plus 4/20)
"Bi Shangshu, in seven days, the tax collected by the household department is almost 820,000 yuan." The squire kindly reminded again.
This is more than 800,000 yuan, and last year's rent and adjustment were converted into money, 9.2 million yuan.
Greenhouse vegetables can still be sold for many days, even if the price drops in the later stage, I believe that it is no problem to get a tax of hundreds of thousands.
Li Zhuangzi's kerosene lamps and thermos continue to be sold, and there is still money one after another.
"Commercial tax should be collected, yes, Xiao Yi is good, take the initiative to pay commercial tax, and also give the idea of collecting taxes.
Even if it is thirty taxes and one, how many tax-charged transactions does Datang have every day? Other places ......"
Bi Gou said, and when he talked about other places, he was not very happy.
This is Chang'an, and there are many rich people, either Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yizhou, Luoyang and other places.
There is not so much money in other places, and it is impossible for people to spend more than 100 yuan on average to buy vegetables in seven days.
The people in Chang'an City actually spent more, but they bought it a few years ago, wrapped it in newspaper, or wrapped it in oiled paper for storage.
"Bi Shangshu, we must hurry up and promote the collection of taxes by the whole Tang Dynasty." The squire was even happier.
"No, we must advance steadily, not be impatient, and not bring damage to businessmen, as long as businessmen pay taxes normally, I Datang will have a lot of money."
Bi Gou suddenly calmed down again, and he felt scared.
Money needs to go through the hands of local officials.
The imperial court said that it would collect taxes, and the local officials would have a name, what would they do?
Yao Chong waved his hand to let the squire leave, and he sat down and began to write the recital.
Let His Majesty strictly manage the local officials and come up with a new plan.
Ten taxes one, twenty taxes one, thirty taxes one, as long as the businessman pays normally, Datang's money is enough.
If the merchant is harmed because of this, and the hen is killed, will there be any eggs?
Li Family Zhuangzi.
"Brother Yi, I brought you two hundred catties of pepper, you can eat it with confidence, this thing is too expensive, you still feed the horses."
Li Chengqi got the pepper, and the first thing that came to mind was Li Yi, so he sent it.
"Jiangnan Dongdao?" Li Yi asked.
"Where there is in the southwest, you can plant there, but not elsewhere." Li Chengqi pointed to the southwest.
"Big brother, there is one thing, this pepper bar, Guizhou and Rongzhou under Jiangnan East Road, Lingnan Road, and Qianzhong Road are the most suitable for planting.
Especially in Leizhou, where pepper is grown, it grows crazy, and millions of catties of pepper can be harvested in a year, Leizhou. ”
Li Yi said that pepper is the most suitable place to grow.
Now it's actually planted in the southwest, where there is a lot of fighting with the southwest, of course, it's expensive.
And Leizhou, that is, Hainan, at that time, he produced more than 40 million kilograms of dried pepper a year.
"That place in Leizhou......." Li Chengqi's eyes widened.
Leizhou, if an official is exiled there, it will be death.
It's not as good as Yuezhou and other places, but it's good to give people a way to live.
Where pepper is grown, can it produce millions of catties a year?
Li Chengqi sweated and was completely frightened.
Pepper is very expensive, that is, the Li family Zhuangzi feels sorry for the horse, and occasionally gives a handful.
If there are millions of catties, then ...... That doesn't seem to be expensive, and not to make more money, unless the sale is restricted.
"Big brother, send someone to plant, otherwise someone else will sell pepper to us and make a lot of money, why?"
Li Yi thought that it was the trade surplus in other parts of pepper's foreign trade, which was not good for Datang.
"Yes, send someone, who to send? I have to make it clear, it's not exile, you have to give medicine and toilet water, there are a lot of mosquitoes there. ”
Li Chengqi began to filter the list in his mind, asked for the person he trusted the most, and told the other party that it was a kind of pepper.
Li Yi thought for a while: "If I don't go on a trip, it won't take me more than a year to deal with the local mountain people and let them help grow pepper." ”
"No, Brother Yi, you stay in Zhuangzi. Someone, someone. Li Chengqi didn't want to think about it, so he refused directly.
He knew that it was stable to send Brother Yi wherever he went, and the local area was guaranteed to be governed by Brother Yi.
It's just that it can't be sent, and Brother Yi's stay in Chang'an has the greatest effect.
In addition, the key is Brother Yi's medical skills, if anyone is sick, it can't be cured, so go directly to Brother Yi.
Life-saving thing, Brother Yi went out, everyone is sick, what should I do if I die?
"In that case, big brother arrange it. There are two ways to plant, one is seed seedling, and the other is cuttings.
The growth rate of cuttings is faster than that of seedlings, and seedling raising is to use seeds to promote seedlings and replant.
To take cuttings, you need to find a pepper tree and take the branches from it.
I'll write you both methods, including what kind of land, how to fertilize, and how to take care of it during the growing season.
In other places, it can be given in four years, and in Leizhou, it can be produced in three years. ”
Li Yi said that he went to get the pen, he wanted to write it down and draw some more pictures, so that people could see the pictures more clearly.
"Three years is not much, and pearl farming will take many years." Li Chengqi actually hopes that this year's planting will have pepper this year.
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind and knew that it was impossible.
He watched Li Yi write there, sitting quietly next to him and drinking tea.
He didn't think that his Yi brother didn't understand pepper cultivation and wrote and painted blindly.
He was thinking about how to arrange people, three years, to get the most faithful people to pass.
Three years later, when the harvest begins, will this person be transferred back, or will he continue to be there?
If you transfer it back, you must be given a very high salary, otherwise you will throw it away when it runs out.
As with pearl planting, pearl cultivation uses shell scraps from shellfish, which are put in and the beads come out.
The few people in charge all said that after the pearl was released, they would come back immediately if they were willing to come back, and if they were not willing, they would stay for a while.
It turns out that there are so many places suitable for growing pepper, especially in Leizhou.
The local mountain people are a nuisance, why is there no other person like Yi Di?
Li Chengqi was worried, and when he sent others over, he was always slow and didn't handle things well enough.
"Big brother, you have to trust some people, tell them the specific problems in advance, they will have countermeasures, there are many smart people and capable people."
Li Yi seemed to see the entanglement of his eldest brother.
He used to be efficient, and that was because he had money, and with money, the mountain people would feel the friendship.
Others, may cost less and work better.
Looking at the officials who are now competing for power in the court, none of them are given in vain.
Because those who can't do it have already been eliminated, and they are not even qualified to enter the court at all.
Some were people who helped Li Longji seize the throne and gave it to an official, but wasn't it also thrown to the local government later.
Some people feel lost, the right to speculate is gone, and they are in a state of collapse.
Some people have enough ability to do the same thing in the local area, and then return to the court.
This is the emperor's calculation, the big waves wash the sand.
"Brother Yi, you write another method about local governance, and I will let people learn it."
Li Chengqi didn't know that Li Yi's thinking was floating, and he wanted someone to do it.
"I'll write a few methods for people's reference, and I don't need to follow them all and apply them flexibly."
Li Yi agreed, but the profits of pepper were there.
Even if the output of five million catties a year is thrown to Datang, the price is still good.
If it's half cheaper, more people will buy and eat it.
If it's one-tenth of the current price, the number of people willing to buy it will be at least twenty times higher.
A pair of shoes for 1,000 yuan may only be purchased by 10,000 people.
A pair of shoes for 100 yuan is definitely not bought by 100,000 people, it may be bought by a million people.
