"Tariffs? What is a Tariff? "Comrade Li Er was 'confused' and 'confused' by the word that came out of Wang Ke's mouth.

Comrade Li Er still knows the names of the various taxes in force, but he has never heard of the tariffs that Wang Ke is talking about now, and he does not know how they should be collected and from whom.

The last time Wang Ke and his eldest grandson Wuji set up a new tax law together, Wang Ke knew that they were all integrated on all the previous tax collection types, and no new tax was added, so this tariff was not included. At that time, he was just reading from the book, and he didn't realize that he wanted to add new taxes, and now he was 'forced' by Comrade Li Er, so he used his brain to think about it, and was reminded by Comrade Li Er's words "'traitor' businessman", and in his memory, there is such a thing as tariffs.

Although Wang Ke is not very clear about how the tariffs are implemented, Wang Ke still thinks that it can be carried out in this era compared with the collection methods of other taxes, isn't it just to find a way to get money, for Comrade Li Er, as long as there is a result, as for what the process is, it is estimated that he will not care too much.

Wang Ke said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's the tariff." This is a lot of money, and if it is used properly, my Datang's income will increase a lot. ”

Wang Ke didn't think about how to collect this tariff now, but he blurted out in a hurry, and when it came to how much it was going to increase, it was also vague, and there was no specific amount, just to let Comrade Li Er know that increasing this tax could bring a lot of benefits to Datang.

Comrade Li Er did not doubt Wang Ke's ideas, he was now worried about whether the tax that Wang Ke had come up with would make the people of Datang say that he had increased the tax and added another burden to the people's lives.

Comrade Li Er asked with some hesitation: "Boy, the tariff you said won't make the people complain, right?" I don't quite understand who this tax is being collected from, and how it should be collected. ”

Wang Ke understood that Comrade Li Er was afraid that his reputation would be damaged, and if this tax was wanted to be collected from the ordinary people of Datang, Comrade Li Er would not agree, and he might rather collect this tax a little less than let the people point at his backbone and scold.

Wang Ke shook his head and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this tax has nothing to do with the people of my Datang, but it doesn't have nothing to do with it, as long as it is to be used for something other than my Datang, it will have something to do with it, if you don't use it, it doesn't matter." ”

Wang Ke's seemingly somewhat tongue-twisting words really got Comrade Li Er in, and Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke with suspicious and puzzled eyes and asked, "Boy, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Ke knew that his words would make Comrade Li Er not understand, but he didn't expect it, let Comrade Li Er understand what he meant now, he believed that as long as he explained the matter, Comrade Li Er would be able to understand what was going on, and he would know what the tariff meant and what it meant to Datang.

Wang Ke said slowly: "Your Majesty, now there are two markets in my Chang'an City, and the East Market is all my Datang businessmen who are buying and selling things produced by my Datang itself; And the West Market, in the past, were all foreign merchants, of course, there were many merchants from the Western Regions and 'Bo', and the goods that were bought and sold were also shipped from outside my Datang, and after the emperor switched, there were also merchants from my Datang who also began to conduct cross-border trade. I wonder if what the minister said is wrong? ”

What Wang Ke said in the end is complete nonsense, Comrade Li Er lives in the deep palace, and he is busy like that all day long, where he will know so clearly, but seeing that Wang Ke asked, Comrade Li Er has to pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, so he nodded deeply and motioned to Wang Ke with his hand to continue.

Wang Ke was secretly amused in his heart, he knew that Comrade Li Er didn't know these things, but now he pretended to understand everything, which made him really happy in his heart.

But at this time, it must not be realized, Wang Ke continued with a serious face: "Merchants buy and sell goods, of course, they pay taxes according to the regulations now, but this is just the business tax they pay in the course of business, and they have not paid taxes for goods entering and leaving the border of our Datang Kingdom. These goods entering and leaving the border of our Datang Dynasty can be taxed in the name of customs clearance, which is also a lot of income. ”

Comrade Li Er was quite unimpressed by Wang Ke's words, and for Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke's idea was not a good idea, after all, in this way, the merchants of Datang might lose the motivation to sell abroad because of the high cost.

Comrade Li Er said with some hesitation: "Can this work? Will this make businessmen unwilling to transport goods to my Datang for sale, and unwilling to sell my Datang's goods? ”

As for Comrade Li Er's worries, Wang Ke also knew that it was not impossible, but what he was thinking was much more complicated than Comrade Li Er's, and the purpose of doing so contained a lot of political implications, to put it bluntly, it was economic aggression!

Now for the countries around Datang, and even further 'Bo', there is no country or tribe that can reach the economic strength of Datang, and now all kinds of production in Datang have begun to scale, it is conceivable that in the near future, there will be a situation of oversupply, and at that time, if all the things produced in China want to be digested in China, it must be impossible, then it must be dumped outward.

And in itself, the surrounding area of Datang is very yearning for Datang's things, why can't they get some benefits from the high profits of the merchants who come and go. The big deal is that the sheep's 'hair' is out of the sheep, and they pull it out and sell it at a higher price, which has no loss for Datang.

As for the things that are shipped in, they are not necessities for the people of the Tang Dynasty anyway, to be precise, they should be called high-end luxury goods, even if someone wants to buy them, a little more money should be, the sales price is high, and the tax will be increased accordingly, and it will be beneficial and harmless for the imperial court, so why not!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Ke slowly said his thoughts, and Comrade Li Er's eyes were about to fall out, he really couldn't think of it, where did Wang Ke learn it, he had never heard of it, of course, there was no way to think about it, and he felt that it was the case when he heard it.

After Wang Ke finished talking about his thoughts, he concluded: "Your Majesty, the benefits of this are obvious, plus the imperial court can also introduce some new policies, such as the goods that go out from my Tang Dynasty can be used first." Pay the tariff and then carry out the policy of partial refund, so that although the imperial court will get less, but for the goods of our dynasty to flow outward, there will be much more motivation, and the goods flowing to my Datang are not necessities, if the merchants feel that the tariffs are too high, unwilling to traffick, and there is no impact on the livelihood of the people, then for the foreign trade of Datang, it will be a huge trade surplus, which will only be beneficial to my Datang. Your Majesty, this is trade protection, which is quite beneficial to my Datang! ”

Wang Ke's words were really a strong shock to Comrade Li Er, Comrade Li Er never thought that he could use such a means to control trade and artificially adjust the supply and demand of materials.

Comrade Li Er couldn't hide the 'agitation' in his heart, waved his hand to Wang Ke and said: "Don't talk about it kid, when I call Wuji and them, kid will say it again, be comprehensive, tell all your thoughts on this issue, let us all listen, especially what kind of aggression you said, is there still an invasion that can be carried out without the army?" ”

Seeing Yang Gonggong walk out of the imperial study, Wang Kecai turned around and said briefly to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, aggression is divided into many kinds, everyone is familiar with it, and the most commonly used is armed aggression, which does not need to be explained, and the ministers will not talk about it, and the rest are economic aggression and cultural aggression, but these two are much more hidden than armed aggression, and they are not as direct as armed aggression, and they need to 'take' a lot longer, so generally speaking, they don't think about it, let alone do it." ”

Comrade Li Er is now more and more interested in what Wang Ke said, anyway, it is a rainy day to beat the child, and he is idle when he is idle, today it is because of the eldest grandson Wuji that they reported the results of the tax to themselves, and then they were thinking about how to tap a little more potential in this tax, so they found Wang Ke, but I didn't expect Wang Ke to extend so many theories from an idea, which really made Comrade Li Er happy.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling didn't know what Comrade Li Er asked them to do, and it was probably because Yang Gonggong didn't make it clear to them, but they saw that each of them walked in with a suspicious face, and when they saw Wang Ke there, they didn't know what was going on, and they all kept looking at Wang Ke, which meant that they wanted to ask what Comrade Li Er was looking for them for.

Comrade Li Er leaned back in the chair and said with a relaxed face: "The boy of the Wang family said something very interesting to me, and I was thinking about asking a few Aiqing to listen to it and see what they thought. Wang boy, you can talk about it again. ”

Wang Ke was angry in his heart, he said it dryly, and only then finished speaking to this Comrade Li Er, and now he has to say it again, isn't this a whole person? But Comrade Li Er has said that it is not okay if he doesn't say it, so let's say it again.

Wang Ke had no choice but to say to the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, and said what he had just said to Comrade Li Er again, and as soon as the old immortals heard it, they immediately felt that this thing was feasible, after all, they 'deal' with these government affairs every day, and it was these things that they were thinking about in their hearts.

Fang Xuanling didn't wait for anyone to speak, and asked directly: "Virtuous nephew, can you talk about several kinds of aggression in more detail, the old man still doesn't understand too much." ”

As soon as Wang Ke saw Fang Xuanling finish speaking, everyone in the room nodded straightly, understanding that they all wanted to hear it, so he said: "The kid has already said just now, everyone knows about this armed aggression, so needless to say, the kid mainly talks about economic aggression and cultural aggression." ”

Wang Ke cleared his throat and continued: "The so-called economic aggression, as the name suggests, refers to the use of our dynasty's strong economic strength to dump all kinds of surplus products of our dynasty to the surrounding areas. Of course, we can't get to this point yet, but we can start first, step by step, maybe it will take longer than armed aggression, but once it has an effect, supplemented by force, then the time to solve the problem will be much shorter. ”

Wang Ke said here, looking at Comrade Li Er and a few old immortals, he felt that they still had a certain understanding of what they said, and immediately said: "As for cultural aggression, it is even simpler, each nation has its own unique culture, and once foreign culture has the upper hand, then the price to pay will be its own traditional culture, which will be replaced by foreign culture, and then forgotten." Around my Datang, the culture of each country itself is relatively weak, every year a large number of people from all countries come to Datang to study, why can't we take this opportunity to bring back our splendid Chinese civilization to them, let these people spread in their countries, we will support it again, as long as it is to spread our culture, we will support it, one generation, two generations later, if we want to wage war against them, because they are learning the culture of our Central Plains, we will not have the same great resistance as before, It is also beneficial for our conquest. Wouldn't that be a great way to do it! ”

Seeing that everyone in the room fell into deep thought, Wang Ke added: "Of course, both methods are time-consuming and laborious, not as fast as force. How this should be done, I still have to ask the emperor and the adults to think carefully, and the kid is just putting forward a little idea. ”

Wang Ke's words made everyone think for a while, and I have to say that Wang Ke's idea is a new concept for people in this era, and it is still unrealistic to digest it immediately. After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling slowly spoke: "Lord Xiao Wang's words can't be said to be unreasonable, in the places where our dynasty has no time to take care of, if we can use economic aggression and cultural aggression at the same time, when our dynasty cleans up the places that need to be solved urgently, and then go back to deal with it, it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it doesn't involve our 'essence' too much, it can still be regarded as an effective method." ”

Fang Xuanling stood up and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at present, our dynasty has just pacified the Eastern Turks, and it is not too realistic to want to fight against other places, after all, this people's livelihood needs to be restored, so why not adopt the suggestion of Lord Xiao Wang, but for the situation of various countries, our dynasty should also treat it differently and use it according to the actual situation, and when the national strength of our dynasty allows a war, and then impose it on military conquest, as Lord Xiao Wang said, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort, and it can also reduce the losses of our dynasty to a minimum." ”

Wang Ke had to admire these immortal old 'traitors' cunning, for what problem, as soon as it is placed in front of them, as long as a little prompt, they can immediately come up with the most appropriate way, which can also be seen that compared with them, they are really too far behind, if they do not exceed the knowledge of these people for more than a thousand years, I am afraid that they will have to beg for food in this era, where can they live as nourishing as now!

So now for myself, I can summarize it in just three words, that is: "Enough to learn!" ”
