Chapter 377: Where is not the source of wealth?

Jingyang's rapid development has doubled in just a few months, which not only amazed the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also made other counties move.

For a time, there was an endless stream of government personnel at all levels who came to Jingyang County to learn from the scriptures, and in the end, Shangguanyi had to order, for these colleagues, Jingyang County is only responsible for the introduction, and will not do anything in their study and observation, but if you entertain, I'm sorry, it's not that I'm poor, it's that there are too many of you, and I really can't afford to entertain.

After Li Yuanji returned from Jingyang, the DPRK and China did not have any worries about lifting the curfew.

Everyone has seen the benefits, it is nothing more than to increase some manpower, but compared to increasing manpower, the benefits brought by the night market are endless.

Well, Fang Xuanling and they have even begun to study how to arrange the arrangement after Chang'an cancels the curfew.

Li Yuanji is even more lazy to care about them, what do you like, anyway, in the end, you have to nod and agree.

"Your Majesty, haven't you seen that scene, it's called a lively scene, and besides, the people of Luozhou are really rich, not much worse than Chang'an, guess how much money we have made so far since the opening of the New Year?" Yu Ren, the No. 2 dogleg, had already been sent to Luozhou to supervise the construction, preparation and operation of the Taipingfang branch.

After the year, Luozhou Taipingfang officially opened, until now, Song Zhong has been there for nearly a year, and this time he came back with a happy face, obviously in a good mood.

Of course, Yu Ren's good mood does not mean that Li Yuanji also has the same good mood.

I haven't seen it for a year, and it seems that this thing is starting to die again.

"Then I'll take a guess?" The corners of Li Yuanji's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Yu Ren with a bad idea.

Seeing this familiar look, Yu Ren shuddered violently, instantly remembered the death he had done before, and subconsciously shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, what, isn't the slave too happy......

"If you're happy, I should make you happier, shouldn't I?" Although I'm in a good mood, I'm very unhappy with this thing to let me guess, guess your sister?

"Three months, 5,000 yuan, and when the slave comes back, it feels like there are more than last month, and the slave thinks that this year can earn 20,000 yuan, or even 30,000 yuan." Yu Ren hurriedly spoke, not giving Li Yuanji a chance to find trouble.

At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for his pig brain, he must forget to guess this word in the future, he was almost planted on it before, and he never thought that I would dominate the wind and rain, and Yu Ren, who was calling for wind and rain in Luozhou, actually planted two ...... in the same place Three times?

Thirty taxes and one, even the Royal Business Group, is not exempt from these taxes.

In the past, I always thought that 30 taxes were too much, but when compared with the taxes and fees of later generations, this tax rate is simply frighteningly low.

There are two kinds of value-added tax alone, 11 percent and 6 percent, if the same is converted, the former is equivalent to 1.1 per 10 taxes, and the latter is 0.6 per cent for 10 taxes, that is, 30 taxes 3 and 30 taxes 1.8.

And that's just one VAT, plus the others, the rate will be higher.

It's not that Li Yuanji didn't think about increasing the tax rate, but in the end, after thinking about it, he still couldn't do it.

First, the current funds are sufficient, although it is tight, and the second is that the tax rate is low, which means that the cost of living is low, and the cost of living is low, which means that the administrative cost of the government is low, and everything is low, so there is no need to raise one alone, and taxes and fees are directly related to the key to the whole country.

"How?" Li Yuanji glanced at it and felt a little fussed, excluding taxes, it was only about 4,500 yuan in profit.

Moreover, these profits come from commissions, not a single rent or something, that is, the entire Luozhou Taipingfang has created at least 50,000 yuan in sales in three months?

It seems to be a little scary......

"Uh......" Yu Ren was a little speechless, not knowing what to say.

How? Is it less?

Of course it's a lot, three months and five thousand, what else do you want? This can make money lying down, recover the cost in a year, and then make a net profit, where to find such a good business?

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is just the beginning, and there will be more and more in the future. Now many merchants from the Central Plains and the north and south choose to come here to buy goods...... "Yu Ren said a lot.

Although it was pointed out that it was not yet the peak of the Luozhou branch, Li Yuanji at least understood how the three months and five thousand guan came about.

With only one Luozhou, one Taipingfang, five thousand yuan in three months, and just a cut of the Royal Business Group, I have to say that it is really terrifying.

You must know that Chang'an Taipingfang has been developing for several years and has gathered a large number of old customers, especially those celebrities and ladies who are frequented by them, and they are also high-end routes, and the prices are expensive.

But even so, now it can only achieve a profit of about 2,000 per month.

This is still the income increased after changing from rent to commission mode, if it is placed before, the income of several thousand yuan a year is just a dead number, and there will not be much change at all.

"Not bad!" Li Yuanji nodded rarely, and his face showed a satisfied expression.

Luozhou's economy is not as good as Chang'an's, which everyone knows, except for the economy, other aspects are also inferior to Chang'an.

And Chang'an, as the economic and political center of the entire Tang Dynasty, is naturally not comparable to Luozhou.

In particular, the trading market with the name of Datang Distribution Center, here, you can buy all the goods in the world, if you can't find it here, you can't find it in any corner of Datang.

From the south to the north, from the Western Regions of the country, all the destinations of merchants are here, and they will eventually choose to trade here, these people have created the current prosperity of Chang'an, and the population has increased by tens of thousands, and there is a faint trend of continuous climbing.

With Li Yuanji's approval, Yu Ren was naturally happy.

In the past, Yu Yan never thought that he had any ability, except for making sycophants, and often made mistakes.

But now it's different, although all this is being taught by someone, Keluozhou Taipingfang, but under his own witnesses and hands, he has started from scratch to the present.

can be recognized by the emperor, at least it proves that his efforts in the past year have not been in vain.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is wondering, is it also learning from Jingyang that there is no curfew in the workshop?" Yu Yan saw the stitches.

"It's useless!" Li Yuanji thought for a while, and then shook his head: "Just the cancellation of the curfew in the workshop means that people can't leave after they come, maybe there will be people who are willing, but the number of people is definitely not much, and it is estimated that they will not be able to make ends meet." ”

The curfew is nationwide, except in the rural areas, where not so many soldiers are sent to the countryside to enforce the curfew, and the people are reluctant to go out when it is dark at night.

Not to mention the workshop, which itself does not have a curfew.

Lifang system, the curfew corresponds to the square between the squares, if it is a city-wide curfew, how many troops must be invested?

And the current system, only need to place a small number of troops stationed at the gate of each square, and a small number of troops can be placed on the main road in the city to patrol, the large Chang'an City, the scale of hundreds of thousands of people, the current implementation of the curfew of soldiers is only more than 1,000 people, and the strength of the troops stationed in each square only needs to send a few people in the square, plus two or three soldiers, if there is a problem, then call the patrol team for support.

The scale of more than 1,000 people can ensure that about a cup of tea can be searched throughout Chang'an.

The same is true in Luozhou, except for those rich children who don't treat money as money, how many real people are willing to stay in it for the night?

It's not the night, it's the money.

Yu Ren, who was splashed with a basin of cold water, was not very high in nature.

However, Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to him, after all, this is a whimsical method, unless the whole city is exposed to a curfew, otherwise it is useless.

In addition to this, Taipingfang has done quite well in other aspects.

The dark path is really fast in trade, just internal trade can bring such a big profit, but what about external trade?

The profit is ten times and a hundred times that of now, and the trade with the caravan in the Western Regions, the imperial court has long tasted the sweetness, so now no one has any objections, but all support, whether it is internal or external, as long as it is trade, as long as it does not involve core interests and secrets, all the way to the green light.

Although the current policy has been criticized by many people, they feel that it only increases the income of the imperial court, but greatly weakens the income of various places.

But there is no way, at least one thing is certain, the cost of living of the people has decreased.

"Continue to do a good job in trade, go back and communicate with those merchants more, and see if there is any intention to set up workshops around Luozhou, so as to reduce transportation costs and increase shipping efficiency, I will notify Luozhou to cooperate with you." After thinking about it, Li Yuanji finally said.

It is far from enough for Datang to have only one trade center, the geographical location of Luozhou is better, the terrain is also flatter, out of Luozhou to the east, to the north, to the south, almost all of them are endless plains, everywhere are trade routes, everywhere is the flow of people.

Moreover, the Central Plains region is also a densely populated place, and the amount of goods required is unimaginably large.

Although those high-end goods may not be as popular as those in Chang'an, Li Yuanji still understands the truth of small profits and quick turnover.

"Hehe......" Yu Ren showed a cheap expression, as if he had expected it, rubbed his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter, the governor has expected it, and also has some ideas, the slave maid came back this time to report to His Majesty about the recent work, and second, by the way, to ......make a forward stand for the governor."

Are these two people getting together?

Li Yuanji was subconsciously surprised, but it was impossible to think about it carefully.

One is the governor of Luozhou, and the other is the supervisor of the Luozhou branch, it is essential for the two to meet in official faces, and it seems normal for Duan Luntuo Song Zhong to come and talk.

Just a little suspicious, Li Yuanji returned to normal, he felt that he was a little nervous, too cautious.
