For mirrors of the same grade of the same size and packaging quality, the products of Zhaoqing Glass Factory are often only about seventy or eighty percent of European-style mirrors!

And this alone is to make the mirrors produced by Zhaoqing Glass Factory quickly seize the market.

And there is one more thing that European mirrors cannot compare, and that is size!

Although European-style mirrors and Zhaoqing Glass Factory can produce larger mirrors, Zhaoqing Glass Factory is a local production, which is more convenient for transportation, and does not need to go through tens of thousands of miles of sea like European mirrors, and is not easy to break, so a large area of mirrors can be launched locally.

And this is the incomparable advantage of European-style mirrors!

It's not that they don't have a large area of mirrors, but they can't transport it, or they can transport it, but the cost of transportation packaging is also amazing.

Because of the low-price sales to seize the market, but after the glass of Zhaoqing Glass Factory was listed, although the goods just launched were not too much, they were still snatched up, and many businessmen were waving the checks of the Royal Bank and begging to buy the mirrors of Zhaoqing Glass Factory!

Zhaoqing Glass Factory is set up in the office of Guangzhou Business Zone!

A group of businessmen crowded around the salespeople of several glass factories

What, there aren't many mirrors left?

How much more, this master is all covered, come, check on!

Oh, who robbed this master, don't rob it, it's all mine, damn, don't take his check, pick up mine, pick me up!

What, the spot has been sold out, it's okay, your glass factory will continue to produce, how much will you produce next month, Master Ben is all-inclusive!

What the? Your output is so large, what is it, who said all-inclusive just now, anyway, I didn't say it, I only need one-third, no, one-tenth of the output!

What the? Bastard, you have all the previous month's output booked, okay, you are ruthless enough, Master Rong Ben takes a breath first!

Well, now it's okay, I'll tell you, it's not a thing, push their list back, give me next month's output first, and increase the price of this master!

What the? They have already increased the price, what are you kidding, who is richer than Master Ben, Master Ben has nothing else, just more money, no matter how much they add, Master Ben will always have one percent more than them, no, half a percent!

As soon as the glass was launched on the market, it triggered a rush, to be honest, the output of Zhaoqing Glass Factory is actually not low, a month's output is comparable to the output of Europeans to East Asia for ten years, but the price is cheap, and the output is sufficient.

Countless people have seen business opportunities from it and want to get rich!

And this is also to bring huge profits to Zhaoqing Glass Factory, their cost and transportation costs are low, but the price is only two or three percent cheaper than the European mirror that has been transported tens of thousands of miles by sea to East Asia, and what does this represent? Represents a huge profit!

Its profit margin is even higher than that of Zhaoqing Soap Company!

Although the mirror cannot play a direct role in promoting the national defense of the Tang Dynasty, as a commodity that can earn a lot of profits and pay a lot of taxes at the same time, it can still play a positive role in the national defense of the Tang Dynasty and the rule of the Li Dynasty.

Most of the tax revenue it creates and pays ends up being spent on the military, and then into guns and ammunition, and into the salaries of the soldiers.

And this is not just the role of a commodity such as a mirror, in fact, most of the products, whether they are traditional goods or emerging goods that have emerged in recent years, are mostly so!

They create jobs, increase people's incomes, and create taxes!

And this is the greatest contribution they have made to the Tang Dynasty!

In the four years of Xuanping, the proportion of tax contributed by industry and commerce in the fiscal revenue budget has increased to 30 percent, although this proportion is still not as good as agricultural tax, but it is already about the same.

And this does not include the two major taxes of customs duties and salt taxes!

If you add them to the list, industry and commerce contribute a much larger proportion of tax revenue!

Thanks to the explosive growth of industry and commerce, and at the same time, it is also the two local agricultural provinces of Huguang and Jiangxi that are under its rule, and it is also the Ministry of Taxation that by next year, that is, the fifth year of Xuanping, the central government's revenue budget will likely exceed 20 million taels of silver by then based on the calculation of the existing control areas.

If you use the per capita tax payment figure to calculate, the average tax per person is a little more than one tael of silver!

And you have to know that the current population under the rule of the Tang Dynasty is not too much, and all the current control areas are combined, and the total population estimated by the household department is about 20 million to 30 million, of course, this number must be inaccurate, otherwise it would not give a fluctuating figure with a gap of 10 million people.

Because so far, the Tang Dynasty has not conducted a complete census, and the population data in many places are very different, and to a certain extent, the official data of the pre-Ming Dynasty are also referenced, but the official data of the Ming Dynasty can be believed in one or two achievements, and it is stupid to believe in all of them.

Therefore, how many people are there under the rule of Datang, that is an unknown number, the household department estimates that it is between 20 million and 30 million, but how much, the household officials do not know, Li Xuan himself is even more confused, can get this data, or comprehensive data, for example, the salt sales volume of Datang Salt Industry Company is a very important reference data, and then play some brains, rounding up a few times, to get this approximate data.

If you want to know how many people there are under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, you can only know through a census after the regime is stabilized.

More than 20 million people, providing more than 20 million taels of silver in taxes, this proportion is actually relatively high, compared with the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty...... Alas, forget it, people only have a few million taels a year, and there is no way to compare, so it is more appropriate to take the Qing Dynasty that everyone is more familiar with.

In the early period of the Qing Dynasty, about 30 or 40 million taels of silver, and in the later period, it reached more than 100 million taels of silver, which was basically about two or three times the population at that time.

However, it is worth noting that the Qing Dynasty's taxes were not only regular taxes, but also various miscellaneous taxes retained by various local governments, and this part of the amount was actually quite large.

Well, it is also worth noting that when these additional taxes are levied, if the government receives one million taels of silver, then the actual burden of the people may reach two million or even three million taels of silver, so when discussing the burden of the people, we must not only look at how much money the state collects on the surface, but also how much money the people pay.

If you add all these messy miscellaneous taxes, in fact, the per capita tax burden of the Qing Dynasty will not be lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, or even higher!

As for the people at the bottom, that is, the peasants, Li Xuan can proudly say that the peasants of the Tang Dynasty are lighter than the peasants in any feudal dynasty.

All kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes levied on the people at the bottom, and the officials and tax collectors who appeared in the process of collecting these harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed them privately, this is a shackle that really pressed on the peasants of the feudal dynasties in the past dynasties!

And now, Li Xuan has broken this shackle!

So even if the agricultural tax levied by the Tang Dynasty was higher than that of any feudal dynasty, the peasants were willing and happy, why? It is because as long as they pay the agricultural tax, they do not have to pay all kinds of messy taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Reducing the burden on farmers, this is what Li Xuan has been doing, and this is also the most important policy that Li Xuan has promoted in recent years for the people's livelihood.

Being an official wants to make money to support his family, although Li Xuan doesn't say this on the surface, it is understandable, after all, everyone rebelled with him, greedy for money to improve their lives, and married a few more concubines, Li Xuan also thinks it is reasonable, after all, when the water is clear, there is no fish.

But greed for money is greed for money, but it is to find the right direction to start, you think those businessmen occasionally squeeze and make some money, Li Xuan will turn a blind eye and even pass, but if you dare to think about those farmers who are already bitter, then don't blame Li Xuan for the knife in his hand is too sharp!

In fact, Li Xuan didn't understand very much, you officials have a lot of ways to make money, why do you have to get along with those farmers who are bitter and have no oil and water, you squeeze tens of thousands of peasants, it is better for you to directly find a big businessman to squeeze more money.

But there are really such stupid sluts, and they don't kill them, in this regard, Li Xuan's attitude is firm, and he found that one robbed the family and wiped out the other!

Once these officials who dare to think hard are caught, it is impossible to cut off their heads, and it is impossible to do so in this life.

Speaking of which, many of the laws of the Tang Dynasty are clearly marked, and if they violate a certain law, they will be wiped out, and there will certainly be innocent people implicated in this process, but when these so-called innocent people enjoy the glory and wealth brought by their fathers and brothers breaking the law, then when their fathers and brothers are caught, they will not say that they are innocent.

It is impossible for an official to be caught and shot for corruption, but his family still takes a lot of money to go abroad, because in Datang, I am naturally Ling Chi or something, and my wife, daughters and sisters are all charged to the Jiaofang Division, and my children and grandchildren are all beheaded.

can still leave a trace of blood under the search of Hantong Eagle Dog, count him awesome, Hantong wrote a big word in front of his grave!
