Chapter 478: Towards industrialization
However, change is change, what will Datang develop like in the future?
Even Li Yuanji himself doesn't know this, in the later life, he is just a fart person, and there are many things that he can't touch, and what he can see is only what he sees on the surface.
And those things that didn't appear may not have really appeared, perhaps after a lot of energy, it was proven that they were not feasible, so they were abandoned.
Maybe for some other reason, who knows?
No one is perfect, and it is impossible for any person in the future to accurately grasp every direction when he comes to this era, the only thing that can be controlled is only a general direction, and only if there is no mistake in this direction, there will be no real problems.
And development, there has never been a smooth sailing case, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, which country has not encountered various problems in the process of development? Took all sorts of detours?
Li Yuanji didn't expect every step of Datang to be correct, because it was simply impossible.
But in what he knew, he hoped that these decisions were the right ones, because there was no reason to continue to waste time by continuing to take detours on these already proven issues.
Of course, this involves another problem, and the decision that has been proved to be the right in the future may not be correct in the present era, or the effect cannot be the same as that in the future.
But there are some things that always have to be done, don't they?
"I agree with the Academy of Sciences to open up relevant technologies, and the specific next step can be discussed with the Academy of Sciences, the main thing is that the pricing should be reasonable, so that the people can accept, and at the same time, the Academy of Sciences can not suffer, in addition, you can also add some additional services, such as the later technology upgrade, after the purchase of this technology, after the technology upgrade, you only need to pay a small amount of money, of course, you can also choose to refuse the upgrade, the decision lies with the people.
However, the Academy of Sciences is the Academy of Sciences after all, and it is a unit that focuses on scientific research, and if too much energy is put into this, it will inevitably affect the normal progress of scientific research.
Therefore, I suggest that the overall technology should be outsourced, and the outsourcer should be solely responsible for the guidance and later upgrading of the technology, and the Academy of Sciences should only teach the outsourcer what to do. Li Yuanji nodded directly and agreed to the technology opening.
In fact, the technology has long been opened, but the scope of the opening is too small, or rather, the technology of the Academy of Sciences is only open to the Royal Commercial Group.
There are many reasons for this, the first of which is the background of the Royal Business Group, which determines that they have a great voice.
The second is the huge influence and financial resources of the Royal Commercial Group, not to mention, at least so far, the figure of the Royal Commercial Group has appeared in all the state capitals and major important counties of Datang.
Of course, although Li Yuanji did not say it explicitly, in fact, only the Royal Commercial Group is suitable for this task, because their channels have been laid, and all the plans can be carried out directly after the technology is handed over by the Academy of Sciences.
If it is a different way, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a few years in this regard.
"As for lowering the loan interest rate, this is not feasible, so the pressure on the money bank will inevitably increase suddenly, once the cash flow is greatly reduced, there will inevitably be all kinds of problems, and once the crisis of confidence breaks out, it will be disastrous for the money bank and for Datang." Li Yuanji continued.
It's not because the money bank is his own, so he is reluctant to give up those interests, if he can, Li Yuanji would rather not want the money bank's little income.
But the fact is that this cannot be done, to put it more seriously, this kind of behavior is actually disrupting the financial order, and it is a kind of self-demolition behavior.
"But the support in the policy is inevitable, just like I support the business group in the policy, without a good policy, even if a person has a brain, it is difficult to give full play to his ability." Li Yuanji continued, the Ministry of War avoided its support for the business group, and this kind of behavior was directly said, and the ministers did not think that there was anything about it.
Although the business group has taken a lot of benefits, it is not possible to judge the business group as a vampire just by looking at this part of the interests.
At the same time, it should also be noted that the business group bears all the expenses of the royal family, that is to say, the annual profits of the business group, except for their budget for the next year, the rest should be used for daily expenses of the royal family.
In other words, if the business group's income declines, it will have to reduce its budget to ensure that the royal family spends its expenses.
The expenses of the imperial family are often a large part of the financial expenditure of the imperial court, and now that the imperial court has no such pressure, it can use more funds elsewhere.
In addition, Royal Commercial Group is also the largest taxpayer in Datang, paying more than 30,000 yuan in taxes last year, and according to the proportion of 30 taxes and 1, their operating income last year was more than 300,000 yuan.
But the accounts are not calculated like this, thirty taxes and one, not your profits, but the overall business quota, excluding various costs, in fact, the total profit of the business group last year was about 100,000 yuan.
Excluding the nearly 60,000 yuan of expenses handed over to the royal family, the actual funds retained by themselves are only about 40,000 yuan.
"So, I think the best way to do this in these open technology fields is to be tax-free, so as to increase people's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship." Li Yuanji did not hesitate to sacrifice the Dafa of investment promotion in later generations.
"Tax-free?" Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of shock on their faces, if it was tax-free, then what else to play? Worked hard to make a pot of rice for someone else? In the end, you can only watch? Can't even drink a mouthful of soup?
Is this considered a loss to the lady and a soldier?
"Yes, tax-free!" Li Yuanji ignored the shock of the ministers, and continued to nod his head to confirm what he said: "To be exact, it should be called a tax refund. In these industries, a three-year tax exemption policy is implemented. However, considering the problems of the current imperial court, this policy can be changed to a certain extent, for example, the taxes and fees must be paid in accordance with the regulations every year, but in the fourth year, the taxes and fees of the previous year and a half can be refunded in a lump sum, and the remaining taxes and fees for the remaining year and a half can be refunded in the fifth year. ”
Fang Xuanling was seriously thinking about what Li Yuanji said, and Ma Zhou was also thinking about it.
Ma Zhou, who accepted Li Yuanji's thoughts, obviously has more advantages than Fang Xuanling in this regard, and the entry point is also different.
It didn't take much effort, and Ma Zhou figured out the benefits, and immediately seconded: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Seeing that the other ministers were still confused, Ma Zhou had to explain in detail: "The advantages of this policy are obvious, but the disadvantages are almost gone. The best thing about this is that you can receive taxes every year, and even if you want to get a refund, it will not start until the fourth year.
At that time, the income of the imperial court will inevitably increase greatly, and it can fully support this expenditure.
Of course, more importantly, the operation of anything, including the operation of business, has a gradual process, and most workshops, in the first year, their energy is mainly in the exploration stage, in the stage of accumulating experience and developing the market, so the profit in this period is limited. It is not even ruled out that it will take several years to accumulate and explore.
No matter how long this time is, it is impossible for each workshop to make a large profit in the first few years, that is, even if there is no tax exemption policy, the taxes and fees that the imperial court can receive in previous years are still enough. And after that, the taxes they pay every year are almost double compared to the previous years, and if it is done properly, we only need to be prepared for halving the taxes in the fourth and fifth years, or only three or four months less, and this price is completely acceptable.
At the same time, this policy will also make investors grit their teeth and stick to it, but since they have to insist, they must eat uninterrupted investment support, but only investment without income, obviously not good, they will inevitably try their best to open up sales, increase their revenue, so as to ensure that they can survive until the fourth and fifth years.
Even, in order to ensure the survival rate of these enterprises, we can make some protective policies, that is, the size of the same industry in each region is limited to ensure that there is enough market to feed them, so as to ensure their survival to the greatest extent possible, but also to ensure the competitiveness of the market. ”
Ma Zhou's words made everyone's eyes suddenly light up, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
At the beginning of an enterprise, it is impossible to make money directly, there must be a process in the middle, and this process is vacuum, there is no income, or there is very little income, and when they really grow up, the court can receive real big money, and all that needs to be paid is the pitiful taxes and fees in the previous years.
Therefore, this benefit is obvious, and it seems that there is no reason to refuse, especially the protective policy that Ma Zhou subsequently mentioned, which is almost a talisman for these companies.
Of course, the amulet is not omnipotent, and if someone dies, no one can stop it.
Immediately afterwards, more and more ministers seconded the proposal, and no one could refuse this benefit, especially the ministers who were already in the early stage of ideological transformation, because they did not have a thorough understanding of the whole thing, so the sense of expectation was also stronger, which was human nature, and no one could avoid it.
"As for raising the price of food protection, I don't think I need to worry about it for the time being, it's also a little unrealistic, if there is really a situation where no one cultivates, I still have a few ways to alleviate it, but I don't need it yet!" As for the last question, Li Yuanji shook his head.
Although this class has been broken, it is obviously impossible to get the people to give up farming, and there are limited jobs, so what can the rest of the people do without farming?
In addition, most of the young people recruited by the workshop are young, and the oldest will not be more than forty years old, so what can people over forty years old do without farming?
Therefore, this concern is obviously unnecessary, and raising the protection price also means that the price of food will be increased, which is obviously not cost-effective.
