174 Industrial and commercial taxation (I)
Apocalypse feels that his newly opened imperial store is not a success, and it can not be said that it is tiring to make a lot of money, and it can be said that there is no promotion value, and it occupies the name of the royal family, which is not universal and comparable. In order to find an agricultural, industrial, commercial, etc. that can be popularized throughout the country, Apocalypse decided to start a new business and register an entity as an ordinary person to see if it can be successful. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
Just when Tianqi was discussing with the queen and others to reopen the store, preparing to let the Government Council solve the interest and profit problems first, the Government Council had already encountered a problem, and President Cao of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce and President Li of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce came to the door.
In the tabloid incident in May, the heads of three large merchants were arrested and imprisoned for being a cadre, and one of them, Huang Qingyuan, was the in-laws of Chairman Cao. Ordinary people have to invite guests to go to the general prison by the way, Huang Qingyuan and they have a terrible edict, but fortunately, there are no parts on the body of the good hands and feet, and there are no major crimes, so it is natural to invite a special invitation.
Chairman Cao was also very busy, firstly, because of the affection of his in-laws, and secondly, he also wanted to find out first-hand information, so he also participated in Huang Qingyuan's banquet. At the banquet, Huang Qingyuan toasted one by one, and also talked about the reasons why he was angry and wanted to seek justice from the emperor, and the three of them went to the edict to get hereditary treatment for everyone and retreated. When Huang Qingyuan went back and forth for the seventh time, Chairman Cao knew that he could not dig up anything new, so he secretly shook his head and said goodbye and went home.
On the way, Chairman Cao lamented the stupidity of his in-laws, and other people's hereditary recklessness can get benefits from the imperial court without doing anything, either to be promoted or to get rich. The hereditary recklessness that your three grandsons have earned for everyone is to give the capital to the court and have been using it for themselves, and if you can't use it in your own life, you can't use it for future generations, I really don't know if your head was caught by the door or kicked by a donkey, what is there to be happy about? It is said that the three of them still have to be publicized everywhere, and I don't know if the three old bones can withstand the toss.
However, there are some advantages to thinking about it the other way, that is, from now on, with the name of the merchant, you can do business justifiably, and you can also guarantee the dividends from the money bank and the road business bureau, which is also a surprise.
Just when President Cao was about to inform the rest of the Chamber of Commerce of these news, he came to report in the capital that the emperor is generally not in charge of things now, and the matinee matters are discussed by the Government Council, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Holy Academyβ It is this Holy Academy that has had a bad idea in the past two days, saying that it will divide the Road Merchants Bureau into the Commercial Taxation Bureau and the Highway Bureau, and the shares of the Highway Merchants Bureau will be transferred to the Highway Bureau, and the Commercial Taxation Bureau has nothing to do with all the people who participate in the shares. That is to say, everyone can't escape the things that cost money such as building bridges and roads, and everyone doesn't have to worry about collecting taxes and making money.
After hearing this news, President Cao could no longer calm down and was a little angry, isn't this crossing the river, demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey? President Cao was angry for a while and calmed down, and he informed President Li of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce that he was ready to join forces between the north and the south, and to try to nip the idea of the Holy Academy in the bud before the Government Council formulated it into regulations.
When he arrived at the General Administration of Highway Commerce outside the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City of Beijing, President Cao saw that the signs of the General Administration of Highway Merchants had been taken down and replaced by two opposite signs of the General Administration of Highway and the State Administration of Commerce and Taxation. Seeing that these people were so efficient, Chairman Cao was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
The two old foxes, Zhu Yanxi and Liu Yixi, who received President Cao and President Li, were like they didn't see the sad faces of Cao and Li, and they greeted people with a spring breeze on their faces, and they didn't look like second-class masters at all. President Cao couldn't help but ask: "Two adults, how did this road business bureau change the two names of the highway bureau and the commercial tax bureau?" So do we want to add money to our shares or do we want to return the money? β
Zhu Yanxi said with a smile: "Don't think too much about the two presidents, the court has always been a word, neither need to add money nor withdraw shares, as long as you abide by the three rules set by the emperor's will, the shares in everyone's hands are hereditary, just sit at home and take the money, we can't envy it!" After finishing speaking, he also slapped two haha and made a look of envy.
President Li stretched his brows and said: "I heard that the imperial court wants to separate the tax collection from the road merchant bureau, so I am very puzzled, and I said that how can the imperial court do such a thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" Now I know that it was just a false alarm, and I was not open-minded enough, so I made amends to the two adults at noon. β
Liu Yixiao said with an embarrassed expression: "President Li didn't hear it wrong, the imperial court is indeed preparing to separate the tax collection from the Road Merchants Bureau, and everyone's future shares are only related to the Highway Bureau, so it should be simpler, so as not to involve too much and be difficult to settle accounts." β
Seeing that Cao and Li's faces were not good-looking, Zhu Yanxi said: "It's not that the imperial court wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but that the situation has changed." In the past, there were no merchants, and there was no such thing as commercial tax, so commercial tax had to be taken on tolls. Now the emperor has decreed that the establishment of merchants and the collection of commercial taxes is the right of the imperial court and does not belong to investment income, so it is necessary to separate these two things, and ask the two presidents to understand. β
Chairman Cao shook his head and said, "The emperor has just promised to let the shares in our hands be passed on from generation to generation, so it's too outrageous to come out like this right away, right?" In this way, who will dare to believe the words of the imperial court in the future? β
Chairman Lee also said, "Yes, according to Lord Zhu, the money bank will have nothing to do with us in the future, because after all the silver is turned into silver coins, there will be no need for the mint, what is the difference between the capital?" Private can also be flexibly realized. β
Liu Yixiao looked embarrassed again and said: "The two of you have a point, the business of the money bank will be withdrawn in the future." The issuance of copper coins and silver coins is a matter of the imperial court, because at that time to turn all the silver ingots into silver coins, the imperial court does not have such a great ability so to rely on you, and so in the future the imperial court has the ability to definitely take it back, but now it is not possible to wait for two years β to do the same looks a little unauthentic, but we do this to avoid future troubles, the issuance of this coin is related to all parts of the country and various industries, once there is a problem is a big problem. If the two of them are involved in the investigation in the future, the gains outweigh the losses, even if you are not afraid, aren't you afraid of disasters and descendants? β
President Cao thought for a while and said: "It makes sense for Lord Liu to say this, we businessmen should not rub the oil and water of the imperial court when investing to make money, so how can we calculate the cost of repairing markets in various places in the past six months?" That's not a small amount. β
Chairman Li also said: "In the past, roads were built and tolled in the market, but now they have to be charged on the road when they are separated. Has the standard of charging been set again? What about our losses during this period? If it is only about Li, Li has not said a word, mainly because this matter is related to so many investors, so there is such a question, please don't be surprised by the two adults. β
Liu Yixiao discussed with Zhu Yanxi in a low voice, and then said: "The cost of repairing the market will be paid by the Commercial Taxation Bureau in the form of a one-time payment, but you have to wait for at least half a year after receiving the tax." How to prevent fee evasion is being discussed, and the two of them can also brainstorm some tricks. As for saying that the loss is made up by the imperial court and the highest gain, I don't know what the two of you think? β
Cao and Li discussed it for a while, and had to nod and agree.
Liu Yixiao has a lot of business at home, and knows that if taxes are collected, it is a matter of no capital and ten thousand profits, even if it is only according to two percent, it is a very large amount, and when there is silver, it is okay to take back the shares, as for what hereditary recklessness, that means that the shares are not the content of the system, and when the time comes, it is okay to re-point these people to a little investment channel, and it is a big deal to let them go to the mine, which is a big profit, and they will definitely agree.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yanxi and Liu Yixian went to the Government Council and just told King Xin and Ye Xianggao about the first day's history, and Tan Jing came to King V and asked, "Is Father-in-law Tan here to deliver the decree?" β
Tan Jing said: "Replying to the king's words, the slave is not here to pass on the decree, the emperor said that he is not easy to interfere in the affairs of the day, so he only let the slave make a suggestion." β
