After the heart-to-heart exchange with the treasurers of the major mines,

Yang Lin smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone, after all, this mineral belongs to the state, if it is just to pay taxes, this is almost no different from ordinary business, the state and local yamen at all levels suffer, I have a charter here, let's take a look?"

In the prefect's yamen, a mine was set up under the county workshop where there was a lot of mining to supervise the local mines.

If there is any mine in the local area, the people need to register with the prefect's workshop, and only after meeting the requirements can they open the mine, and strictly private mining operations.

In the process of mining opening, the prefect Yamen Public Works will verify from time to time, that is, urge everyone to ensure the safety of mining. If there is nothing in the open pit, but if the mine is underground, it will kill people.

After the mine is opened, the slag is very easy to cause mudslides

There's still something in the slag itself that hasn't been cleaned up

Therefore, the slag treatment must be handled reasonably, not dumped on the water source, and all kinds of vegetation should be planted around it, so as not to be washed away by the water and harm the neighbors.

……

Only those who meet these conditions can open mines, and those that can't meet them belong to private mining and need to be banned.

All mines must establish clear accounts according to the model given by the Yamen, including how much ore that mine produces on that day, how much ore is bought on that day, and what income is generated.

Each mine pays the mine tax according to the ten taxes. ”

Zhu Daliang shook his head slightly and said: "My lord, since the founding of the country, Taizu has implemented a tax policy of thirty taxes and one tax, and now the income tax of ten taxes and one is too high." ”

Yang Lin did not answer, and Li Shikai, the governor of Zhizhou next to him, seemed quite excited, as a person who was an agricultural businessman, he had always looked down on businessmen.

Now listening to these businessmen's claims that taxes are high, they immediately have a rhetoric: "Is it high, thirty taxes one, think about it, how much did you spend on buying officials and squires in a year?"

The state is based on agriculture, and everyone certainly knows a thing or two about the amount of agricultural taxes.

Now the three salaries are abolished, and one bucket of rice is levied per mu, and the field tax is twenty and one. If it was placed in previous years, with the addition of three salaries and the government's apportionment, the land tax would have already exceeded the level of ten taxes.

Now the big shops around the country are also fifteen taxes one, you open mines to make money quickly, one by one with thousands of dollars, earn a little less, ten taxes one is already very little.

Adults are different from the past, adults implement the division law, the yamen levies taxes, 3 percent stay in the county government, and when the time comes, you can build roads and bridges, build water conservancy, and benefit the villagers.

If you make so much money, you also have to make a little merit, and you have to do one out of ten taxes, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous.

During the Jiajing period, everyone was not allowed to open mines without permission, and this time the adults could say that they were benevolent and righteous. ”

Zhu Daliang wiped the beads of sweat from his face with a handkerchief and said, "My lord, of course this is not high.

But on the other hand, we are all small businesses, we don't have so much money, huh? ”

Yang Lin looked at the others, and everyone bluntly said that although they rarely paid the mine tax in the past, it cost a lot to pay the yamen up and down, and of course they deliberately accepted the ten taxes.

But the problem is that the world is in chaos now, the ore is not selling well, and everyone can't come up with such a lot of money for a while.

As soon as the audience spoke, Yang Linfang reacted, and felt that everyone thought that the tax should be apportioned to each mine and paid first every year.

They do this kind of apportionment method, but Yang Lin doesn't do it, haha laughed and said: "Everyone, everyone is wrong." It is not for everyone to pay the mineral tax first, but how much ore is sold each month, and at the end of each month, the mineral tax will be paid to the county's treasury, and the treasury will conduct random inspections on everyone from time to time to see if everyone has evaded taxes. ”

This is a novelty, in the past, the management of the yamen was very rough, and the taxes were often directly apportioned, and they were only paid according to the apportionment every year, but now it is like this.

But everyone is more reluctant to new things, and they don't know how to pay for a long time.

There was no way, Yang Lin put forward the suggestion of co-operating a mine: "Oh, since this is the case, then well, your current discounted price depends on how much silver there is, and when the time comes, we will set up a company, which is similar to the name of the business, your mine, how much is the equipment on the mine worth at present, and how much money the government will invest at that time."

The county government accounts for 2 shares, the government government accounts for 3 shares, and the yamen will only entrust personnel to manage the accounts, and you will be responsible for the operation, so how about it? ”

Zhu Daliang was shocked, the family they opened the mine is not over 10,000 yuan, just mentioned that the money is insufficient, but they just want Yang Lin to cancel the collection of mining taxes, who would have expected that Yang Lin beat the snake with the stick, and generously proposed a joint venture, which can make Zhu Daliang quite surprised.

If it is a joint venture, it is necessary to pay a mine tax of 10 taxes, and then divide it with the government by 55, so that the government will take out the big head, and the merchant will take the small head.

When he was hesitating, that He Tuli was quite generous and asked, "My lord, tell me, how does this company and this firm operate?" ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly and said: "Oh, that's the case, it's equivalent to the owner and the shopkeeper."

Although the government has 5 shares, the county government and the government each choose 1 person as a director, and 2 people from the social elites as independent directors, and you, each of you, elect 1 director, so that these 9 people form the board of directors, and the company or firm will pay more than 20 taels of silver per person per year as a carriage fee.

The board of directors is equivalent to the proprietors of the current big firms, and they meet once every six months to appoint the company's general office and conference office, and to review the company's mining exploration, finance, operation and other aspects.

Just like those big firms hire a manager, when the time comes, the company hires a general manager to be specifically responsible for the mining matters.

Just like many large firms, the proprietor is a partnership of one person or several people, and in the future company, only the chairman of the board of directors can represent the will of the proprietor, so that the general manager below has considerable autonomy.

In the future, the general manager may be selected from among you, but he must be very skilled in the business. ”

He Tuli asked, "My lord, since this is the case, does the yamen participate in the daily operation of the company?" ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "The government and businessmen jointly set up a mining company, and the yamen accounts for half of the shares, and when the time comes, a chairman will be sent to the company, and he will come to the company every month to supervise it a little."

In addition, the yamen will specially select the candidates for the accounting room, and the yamen will send people to deal with the relevant accounts if the money for doing business is to be clarified.

Other than that, the yamen will not interfere in the day-to-day affairs of the company. ”

He Tuli nodded while listening, as long as he fully cooperates, of course he will be the best choice for chairman in the future?

In the future, there will be an official background, not only in the local area, but also in the mines.

After figuring out this layer, He Tuli had nothing to hide, claiming that he had 3 coal mines and 2 iron mines, and hoped to partner with the government and join the newly established company.

Everyone saw that the wealthy He Tuli had decided to join the house, and there was nothing to hesitate, and several others expressed their positions and hoped to join the house.

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Yang Lin also showed a slight smile on his face, and immediately asked Zhizhou Li Shikai and He Tuli to organize Huayingshan Mining Company to evaluate the assets of each mine.

After coming out of the barracks, Zhu Daliang ran forward and asked: "Mr. He Da, since ancient times, when doing business, you have to avoid communicating with the government, why did Mr. He Da do the opposite today, and actually agree to do business with the government?" ”

He Tuli glared at Zhu Daliang and said, "Old Zhu, don't you understand the truth?"

Mining farms need to deal with all aspects of society, and in the past, without an official background, it was not only difficult to deal with it, but sometimes others ignored it in order to open up the joints and give dry shares.

Now that there is an official background, the one who dares to embarrass us, isn't it very easy to solve many problems.

Besides, who will be our biggest customer in the future? The firearms bureau and the weapons bureau of the government are the biggest customers of coal and steel.

If we don't agree to cooperate with the government, then they find other mine owners, and the mines we open can't be sold at all, where will we make money?

Besides, our cooperation with the government is equivalent to selling an insurance, think about it, the government and the county government have shares in the mines, do local squires and local hooligans dare to make trouble?

Also, how can I be virtuous, now I actually know that the people of the state are juxtaposed, as long as this mining company is completed, I am the number one person in Guang'an Prefecture, so why not? ”

When Zhu Daliang heard this, he understood it, and nodded again and again: "He Daguanren, after the establishment of the company, you will definitely be the general manager, this is the general manager of fourteen mines, and you will have to take good care of me when the time comes." ”

He Tuli patted Zhu Daliang's shoulder and said, "Of course, that's of course, when the time comes, our brothers will advance and retreat together." ”

Seeing everyone retreat, Tongzhi Fan Wenguang looked quite puzzled, shook his head again and again, and said: "My lord, there was a lot of controversy about the Wanli Emperor's collection of mining taxes that day, and this time our ten taxes and one tax rate are not high.

But after the adults said the plan, these mine owners enthusiastically participated, what is the reason? ”

Yang Lin laughed, looked at the fellow acquaintances Zhao Sixuan and Zhizhou Xu Kongtu next to him and said: "Brother Fan, you also know that the imperial court's collection of mining taxes during the Wanli period provoked Shilin's one-sided opposition, and the reason for this was the issue of benefit distribution.

Wan Li Ye received all the mining taxes into the inner treasury, and the local government not only had to deal with various disputes caused by the opening of the mine, but also was harassed by eunuchs, so that the city was full of storms.

At present, the county government and the government not only have shares in several major mines, but also the county government retains 3 percent of the mining tax, and the government government only receives 7 percent.

Especially the 3 percent that the county government retained, this is the benefit of the local people, and if that opposes it at that time, we can ask for the life of the local people and forcibly suppress it. ”

Zhao Sixuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "My lord, this He Tuli and Zhu Da Forgiveness are both people who forget their righteousness for the sake of profit, and they cooperate with them in the name of the government, for fear of provoking criticism from others." ”

Yang Lin thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is true that He Tuli and Zhu Daliang are people who forget their righteousness, but they also have an advantage, that is, they spare no effort for their own interests and work hard to make money."

In addition, after the company is established, if he dares to embezzle the company's property, not only will the people strip him, but the government and law will not be compatible. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, everyone looked at each other and smiled, Yang Lin said that if these mine owners were corrupt, they would use the law and discipline of the government to undertake it in the future.
