Chapter 51: A Closer Look at the Matter

Lin Yuan was particularly interested in this matter: "Oh, a model of business? I wonder if the City Lord of Mo can talk about this matter in detail? ”

When Mo Yu saw that Lin Yuan was so interested, he smiled slightly in his heart, and thought of a matter that Elder Duan had arranged for himself, and today he just took this opportunity to do it.

To be precise, one of them.

Mo Yu clearly remembered what the elder said to himself: "Thirty-nine Cities have been spending a bit too much recently, and in the past two years, they have advanced a lot of money to renovate the city, but in the past few years, the money has become much less, and I don't know how to solve the problem of this official's salary, and it seems that it is a little insufficient."

In fact, Mo Yu's first reaction at that time was why he wanted to talk to him about such a thing, and then Mo Yu thought to himself, should it be said that frugal spending starts with officials?

Although Mo Yu is not particularly short of money, of course, after having such an idea, he is probably a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he thinks that it is more uncomfortable to say that some officials do not do it.

However, what Elder Duan said next made Mo Yu let go of this thought: "I wonder if Mo Yu has any good ways to increase his income?"

When Mo Yu heard about this place, his first reaction was that he must not be thrifty, and his second reaction was to think that what can I do, I can't raise the rent.

But this matter has always been strictly controlled by the state, that is, the rent problem is set by the state, and it is better to say that it is lowered, because this is the money you need to hand over, but if you want to go up, it is simply not good at all.

If you don't find out, it's okay, if you are discovered, basically there is no force above the district chief, so you don't want to think about evacuating from the officialdom safely.

In the short term, rising rents raise taxes and raise state revenues, but in the long run, we know that when businessmen can't support those rents, that's when state revenues begin to fall broadly.

As for how to choose as a smart person, of course, that's for sure.

Of course, the state does not set the same level of rent for every city, and the state still reports the number of merchants according to the number of merchants, and then determines the rent according to a certain calculation method.

The source of this rent is basically the main source of the country's fiscal revenue, and the tax provisions of the polar country are not particularly many, and most of them are for businessmen, especially for some multinational businessmen.

There is basically no big tax for farmers, or even basically none, and the more business a businessman does, their tax is also astronomical.

Therefore, those businesses that can make their own business into a large sphere of influence are particularly capable businesses, and they can afford this huge amount of taxes, which means that they have huge profits to support, but this is generally a monopoly industry.

Of course, there is also a non-monopoly business, this is the Lin family cloth merchant, his cloth is definitely not a monopoly, although there is also a large supply for the country, but this is still a tax for the country's supply, it sounds like the country is particularly shameless.

However, this is also one of the few more successful merchants who can make their business empire to such a point, and also use a very simple product.

Basically, when the financial income is fixed, it is obviously impossible to add some additional financial income, so Mo Yu is particularly puzzled, and I Mo Yu thought that Elder Duan wanted to collect additional rent.

Obviously, in Mo Yu's opinion, this is definitely a very crazy thing, and Mo Yu definitely doesn't want to do such a thing, because there is no need at all.

In this case, it is possible to apply, and of course there is a possibility of rejection, but polar countries generally will not deduct the salary of officials.

However, Mo Yu has always wondered if there is no great need for this renovated city, because Mo Yu has looked at this renovated city before taking office.

The defense power has increased greatly, but from the point of view of that thickness, that is to say, the increased thickness, this is definitely not a small project.

Therefore, the amount of money spent is estimated to be a relatively large number, so it is not particularly surprising to say that there is a big vacancy.

But Mo Yu didn't express this mood and thoughts first, of course he wanted to listen to Elder Duan's opinion, and then see what Elder Duan wanted to do.

Elder Duan smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, there's absolutely no such thing, since you don't have a way, I have a small idea here, if you have time, help me promote it first, and then we'll add it up together."

Mo Yu was of course very surprised when he heard such a thing, because Mo Yu didn't think that there was anything that could increase some extra income, and then Mo Yu asked curiously, "Dare to ask Elder Duan what kind of idea he has?" What do I need to do? ”

"It doesn't hurt to say that."

"Recently, I found out that there are many branches of large merchants in our city, such as salt merchants and cloth merchants, and some foreign businessmen, and those merchants have a lot of money." At this time, Elder Duan seemed to show a profiteer's smile.

When Mo Yu suddenly saw Elder Duan's smile, he suddenly shuddered, as if he had seen someone different.

Of course, Mo Yu knew that such merchants were very rich, but Mo Yu didn't know how to make those merchants pay willingly.

Then he continued to listen to Elder Duan say to him: "I think there is still a need for harmony between officials and businessmen, after all, there is a place where we can help each other, so I decided to hold a party this year, just by the river in the west of the city, and then have fun with the people, and set up that platform a little higher so that a large number of people can come to see, of course, as a model of those merchants, we can also let those merchants speak, and let them publicize their goods, so that they can also sell their goods a little more. I believe it's a good thing for them or for the country, first, they can sell more of their things, and secondly, the state can also increase some taxes, right? ”

Hearing this, if Mo Yu doesn't understand it anymore, then Mo Yu is a fool, and Mo Yu finally understood the origin of this matter when he heard it at the end.

It's a good thing, it's an opportunity to speak, and certainly not everyone can speak, and of course it's not in vain.
