This can indeed be done" Li Shimin gave an affirmative reply, in a war, the general pursues meritorious service, while the ordinary soldier pursues tax exemption or reward. Biyan Biyan. More good

As for spending money on military rations, it is not unheard of before, and it is the same as the transfer of grain from the state treasury.

Last year's locust plague, the solution to the problem is actually very simple, is to bring the surplus grain from afar, although the freight is expensive, but the advance of the far water can indeed quench the thirst.

It would be nice to say that there were disasters in some places in successive years, but if the wind and rain were good for five consecutive years, the grain in the treasury would be prone to mold.

It is a very contradictory thing that the people are suffering when there is a disaster, but the treasury is suffering if there is no disaster.

However, if the disaster relief method is changed to a simple monetary disaster relief, although the people will receive the relief unchanged, it can avoid the unwarranted loss of food by the national treasury, so why not?

Leng Feng saw that several people nodded, so he continued, "Our Datang printing copper plates is either refurbished or printed according to whether agriculture has a bumper harvest, but have you ever thought that what dominates copper plate printing is not necessarily just agriculture."

Grain can be eaten, but vegetables can also be eaten, beef and mutton can be eaten. To put it bluntly, the number of copper plates is to replace them with valuable things, and it is no wonder that silk cloth is still used as money on the market."

Silk cloth can be used as money, this is the fact that Leng Feng laughed at it after he came to Datang, and what caused this phenomenon was actually a copper shortage.

Of course, there are those who save money.

Leng Feng didn't understand that the concept of the people in the Tang Dynasty seemed that copper plates were wealth, and every household was accustomed to stringing copper plates and hiding them in a corner of the house, the most common being the pigsty, which usually did not cost a copper plate, unless they were about to starve to death, they would dig out the money jar in the mud of the pigsty and take it for consumption.

Including the old patriarch Li, he also had a bit of this type of thinking before.

But in Leng Feng's view, the copper plate is just a carrier of the concept of "money", which is used to represent the flow of something, such as the dishes downstairs in the world, you dare to say that it is not the glass piled up in the Fortune Glass Workshop, you dare to say that it is not wealth

What is lacking in these two things is just a process of turning into a copper plate.

Leng Feng's words made the four of them a little confused, the truth sounded like this, and they also felt right, but when they took out the things in their subconscious and analyzed them on the surface, how could they feel so magical, so magical that it was difficult to accept

Li Shimin shook his head, removed that feeling, and said to Leng Feng, "I can figure it out if I think about it, you should first talk about what it means to say that agriculture is tax-free, and business can really replace agriculture?"

Leng Feng nodded, "Why can't agriculture be taxed, and commerce should also be taxed?"

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand, "Stop the national government, and there are commercial taxes."

Leng Feng sneered: "The thirteenth tax is also called commercial tax, and it is still a tax in kind, so it is lower." To take the simplest example, we go downstairs to sell a pot of wine for five times, and dozens of pots of wine can fill a vat of wine, how much food does it consume

As a result, you still levy a tax on grain, and I remember that it seems that a vat of wine is levied on three copper plates, and you can calculate how much money you can sell for these three vats of wine. ”

Even if a vat of wine is thirty pots, then a vat of wine is sold for one hundred and fifty yuan, and according to the usual calculation of one thousand copper coins, it is a tax of three copper plates drawn out of one hundred and fifty thousand copper coins.

It is true that there are thirteen taxes and one in kind, but when it comes to the goods, how much is the tax

Even if the world is a profiteering industry, it can't represent all businesses, but it can be seen in the tube.

Li Shimin was a little flustered, the huge contrast between 105,000 copper plates and three copper plates is really huge, and the thirteen taxes plus the taxes in kind, these businessmen are actually about to get away with it

Leng Feng continued, "You always say that agriculture is important and business is suppressed, but the merchant industry has still not been eliminated, its necessity is one of them, and the huge profits are also one of them. Although he vigorously suppressed businessmen in the status of Datang, you don't know that businessmen are actually wearing a pitiful coat and living a life of sudden wealth that is envied by civilians. ”

syllable

Li Shimin slapped the table, "The commercial tax law must be reformulated, and if you continue to make money, not all the businessmen will make money."

Leng Feng shook his head, "Although the business tax must be reformulated, it is still wrong for you to say that the money is earned by the merchants, and the money is still the money, but the merchants have more money because of the flow of money."

If a poor person has a thatched house, it is good to have a piece of land, and if he has a donkey at home, it is a rich family, that is, a landlord's family, and it is great to have a cow. But what about the merchants

Therefore, monetary reform is imperative, and banks, as the direction of money circulation, must also be opened. Although the merchants were at large before, after the commercial tax was reformulated, they would slowly replace the peasants as large taxpayers.

When the backbone of Datang's tax payment changed from a farmer to a businessman, at that time, not to mention that there was no tax on farming, maybe you would have to give subsidies to farmers who farmed the land. ”

"But in this case, will there be a situation where all the people are business?" Wei Zheng asked worriedly.

Everyone is in business, the land is barren, and when the time comes, what do people eat to eat the silk of Jiangnan or the raw silk in Shu

Leng Feng shook his head, "No, the peasant tax is less, the businessmen and the state have more money, and the corresponding grain prices will also rise.

Wei Zheng nodded, in a short period of time, he received too much impact, and the three views of the whole person seemed to be refreshed, and now in his mind, a series of words such as "agriculture without tax", "replacing agriculture with business", "commercial tax reform" and "bank" are constantly colliding.

He came to Leng Mansion to seek clarification, but after listening to Leng Feng's words, he became more confused and confused.

The same is true for Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, their hands are trembling slightly, as if they want to write out all the words in their minds.

Li Shimin is much quieter in comparison, but judging from the sweat on his forehead, his thinking activities are not easy.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin finally opened his mouth, "I only ask you, what role does the bank play in it, and how do I feel that you want to do this, you have to deal with the five surnames?"

It is worthy of Li Shimin, who can actually deduce from these clues that he has to deal with the breath of the five surnames

Leng Feng smiled slightly, "Actually, if these things can really be carried out, the five surnames will lose the most."
