175 Industrial and commercial taxation (II)

King Xin and the others heard that he was not here to deliver the decree but to convey the suggestion of the apocalypse, and some of them did not react, isn't this emperor's request a will?

Tan Jing said softly: "The emperor said that since he said that he would not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, he must keep his promises, unless the government affairs yuan can no longer operate normally, or there are signs of war, civil strife, etc. The emperor opened a restaurant, jewelry shop, garment shop, hospital and other royal stores in May, from the course of this month the emperor found some problems, it is estimated that the cooperation between the court and the business can be used, so let the slave to convey a few suggestions ‰ use to visit this site. ”

King Xin listened to Tan Jing's explanation and felt that it was a bit funny for Tianqi to do this, but he respected Tianqi's wishes and said to Tan Jing: "There is no guest in the Council of the Government Council, and since my father-in-law is speaking for my imperial brother, please sit down and speak slowly." ”

Tan Jing knew that the Military Affairs Yuan and the Government Affairs Yuan did not kneel and salute, and that the Military Aircraft Department and the Council and the Political Affairs Department had to sit and talk, these were the rules set by the Apocalypse, so he sat down and said: "There are five things in total, please listen to the servants slowly, because the emperor is afraid that everyone will misunderstand that this is a will that must be carried out, so it did not fall into words." The emperor said that this is just a suggestion, if you can do it, please discuss with the adults, it is really difficult to ask the Holy Academy to help. ”

Liu Yixiao took out a pen and paper and said to everyone: "Since the emperor found the problem according to the emperor's shop, it must be related to business, and the lower official happens to be in charge of this stall, so let the lower official record it." ”

King Xin nodded to Liu Yixiao, and then said to Tan Jing: "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

Tan Jing said: "The emperor through the operation of January, found that the profit from doing business is not as cost-effective as putting the silver in the money village to get interest, anyway, it is a two-percent cap, and it is the same whether you do it or not, so that there will be fewer and fewer people doing things, and I suggest that you think of a way." ”

Liu Yixiao said while writing: "The lower officials knew about this matter, and they had long felt that there was a problem in it, but they didn't think about it, so they wrote it down first and discussed it for a while." ”

King Xin also nodded and said, "Those who do things are better than those who don't do things, this will definitely not work." ”

Tan Jing said: "The second thing is also related to the profit cap, this business is divided into off-season and peak season, the peak season is capped by 20% of the loss in this off-season can not be made up, in general, many people may lose money, and the business will be dissatisfied after a long time." ”

Zhu Yanxi said at this time: "Yesterday, the North and South Chamber of Commerce also talked about the loss of investment when there is no profit, and the lower officials had no choice but to say that they would make up for it by 20%, but this is not a long-term solution, if you don't think of a good way, I'm afraid that the Commercial Taxation Bureau will owe a huge debt before it starts to collect taxes." ”

Tan Jing said: "The emperor's third suggestion is to divide the Commercial Taxation Bureau again, into the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is in charge of registering merchants to formulate rules, and the Taxation Bureau is in charge of enforcing rules, so as not to enforce the rules and make rules by the same person, which will cause speculation and dissatisfaction among merchants. ”

Zhu Yanxi frowned and said: "If the new things are not yet mature, they will be separated, and the merchants will be satisfied with the convenience of the merchants, I am afraid that the affairs of the court will increase, and the two departments will do what one department can do, and it is easy to quarrel with each other." ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Record first and discuss slowly. ”

Tan Jing said: "The fourth thing is related to the third thing, the emperor is going to set up a company, and it must first be registered in the industrial and commercial bureau of the imperial court. ”

Han Yi was surprised: "If the emperor wants to open the emperor's store again, just open it, the industrial and commercial bureau has not yet been established, and even if it is established, only the people can't control the emperor." ”

Tan Jing said: "The emperor will not open the imperial store this time, he will open a company in the name of ordinary people." The emperor means to compete fairly with ordinary merchants, and finally find a Mu worthy of promotion. ”

Ye Xianggao has a lot of business at home, and he knows that it is not easy to grow the business from a small age, if he can transplant a good business like planting rice seedlings, then I don't know how much time and money will have to be saved. So he said movingly: "The lower officials still thought that the emperor had pushed out the affairs of the court and the central government to enjoy leisure, but it turned out that the emperor still had such considerations, and the lower officials were ashamed!" ”

King Xin also said movingly: "Brother Huang is really good, he is busy with the same thing and the second one." ”

Zhu Yanxi also said: "Xia Guan has been in the court and knows that the Government Affairs Yuan, the Military Affairs Yuan, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy, etc., were all taken care of step by step by the emperor, and now they are just transferred to our hands." Now the emperor is going to open up a new world again, and he is ready to move it to the imperial court when the time comes, which makes the old minister very moved! ”

Tan Jing coughed and said, "King Xin and my lords, don't be moved yet, this fifth thing is about silver. Last year, when Li Qiyuan and Li Shangshu were there, they borrowed 7 million taels from the palace, and later they couldn't pay it back, so they exchanged the taxes of Liaodong and Liaoxi for 20 years, so I won't talk about this. But later, after Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Shangshu took office, they borrowed five million taels from the emperor because of their shares. The emperor means that the tax has come up this year, and I don't know how long it will take for the household to pay it back? If you can't pay it back, then this year's share dividends, the emperor will receive dividends of 5 million. ”

This good deed must be touched by everyone, but asking for money makes people uncomfortable King V thought for a while and said: "If the royal brother wants to open a store, he will definitely need a lot of silver, and we will discuss it and then reply." ”

Tan Jing said: "The slave retired. ”

After Tan Jing left, everyone sat at the table and didn't speak, yesterday about the matter of the North and South Chamber of Commerce had not yet discussed a result, although it was a suggestion, but who could ignore it? It is said that it is necessary to stock up to avoid a famine, and there is no money and grain relief to ensure that there is no money and grain relief in Beijing, and there are few of them who are in arrears last year, and they are tight in the second half of the year, where is there still money to repay the debt? And this account is so large that everyone wonders if they can afford it.

Han Yi moved this thought and said it, he asked: "Can you follow the example of Liaodong and sell the Mongols' territory to the emperor, although the harvest is not much, but the area is large, from outside the Great Wall at Xifengkou to the river, the emperor must like such a large territory, it doesn't matter if he sells it for two more years and sells it for thirty or fifty years." ”

Han Yi's words made everyone's hearts move, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was impossible that the Eastern Liaoxi had been managed by the Ming Dynasty before, and it was only a matter of the past few years that the Jurchens had rebelled. It seems that the Mongolian steppe has not sent officials to the imperial court, and if you really want to mention this idea to the emperor, it is to treat the apocalypse as a big fool.

King Xin shook his head and said, "My imperial brother is going to do business with this money, and it is estimated that he will not agree to your suggestion, Lord Han." ”

Ye Xianggao thought for a while and said, "Let's find a way to collect business tax first, and there is everything in business tax." ”

Liu Yixiao took the record in his hand and said to everyone: "Since you want to collect business taxes, you have to deal with the affairs of the North and South Chamber of Commerce first, the emperor's suggestion is worth thinking about, do you want to invite Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong to visit?" Now is the time when they are needed. ”

After thinking about it, King Xin sent people to invite Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong, and asked them to come to the Government Council in the afternoon to discuss collectively.

The results of the discussion have not yet come out, and the apocalypse has already been thinking about where to start with the queenβ—Ž Tianqi asked everyone to discuss what to do, and everyone had different opinions, some said that it was better to open a restaurant, because the people take food as the sky, and they can't leave the restaurant at any time; Some said that the hospital still paid for it, and rehired some famous doctors or asked the hospital to train some people; Seeing that what these people said was nothing new, the queen said that it would be better to change people to run a few imperial stores.

Sanang came up with a new way, she said that she set up a dart game for her father to be the dart head, anyway, one is that his father is familiar with the business and the emperor can use many people. Everyone thought that her words were impossible, only Apocalypse praised her after knowing it.

After chatting with Feng Siqin for a while, Tianqi was also thinking about what to do first, and then after listening to everyone's opinions, he decided to make a systematic one. For example, if you plant the land first, then process the grown grain for the second time, and then transport it to various places, of course, you also need to consider safety issues. As for whether to set up a dart bureau as Sanang said, Tianqi thinks that it can be done in another way, such as chain exchange operation, that is, several warehouses are set up to transfer funds without transferring goods, and everyone is convenient and safe.
