"Salt, tea, copper and iron, are inseparable from the people, from the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron monopoly, the map, is a stable and abundant tax source...... There is nothing wrong with this strategy, but after thousands of years, especially in the Great Song Dynasty, commerce and trade are prosperous, merchants are far and wide, many wealthy businessmen and giants have accumulated wealth comparable to the national treasury, and tens of thousands of liters of small people are not as good as a big businessman. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe so-called way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings, and it is supposed to take wealth from these richest people and the most lucrative industries, but it is a pity that the tax revenue of the imperial court is seriously lagging behind, and at most small repairs and small repairs are useless! ”

Wang Ning'an's grand remarks, Wen Jifu clapped his hands again and again, ignoring his father's blackened old face, and praised: "Wang Xianggong is really strategic, hit the nail on the head, and explain things so clearly. It's just that Wang Xianggong has always advocated the unity of knowledge and action, and it is not difficult to know, but if you want to do it, it is even more difficult! ”

Wen Yanbo said in a sullen voice: "That's the reason!" Merchant transactions were carried out every day, and how many people did the imperial court have to arrange for them to collect taxes? What if they conceal it? What should we do if the officials who collect taxes oppress the people? Lord Wang, you don't want to cause chaos in the world, do you? ”

"How so!"

Wang Ningan smiled, "What Xiang Gong Wen said is right, it is precisely in order to facilitate the collection of taxes by the imperial court and reduce the damage to the merchants and the common people that our dynasty has implemented the tax package system!" ”

The so-called tax package system is to demarcate a certain area, stipulate a certain industry, and some specific people will first pay the taxes to the imperial court, and then they will collect them. The most typical example is salt and wine, both of which are bought by merchants to obtain the right to operate, of course, the taxes on salt and wine are in the price, so the wine that the people drink and eat is very expensive and poor!

In the Great Song Dynasty, the large market called the field, and the small market called the service, which was collectively called the field affairs, and the imperial court sent officials to promote them, and these officials would also hand over the power of taxation to the local powerful people, so that they could collect commercial taxes, and the imperial court would enjoy the results.

Obviously, these practices have serious drawbacks, but it is not easy to find a better way. Even in later generations, many restaurants and stalls only pay taxes according to the estimated turnover, and it is impossible to check them one by one, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty.

"Wen Xianggong, the situation is different." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Over the years, the first trade money bank, over the years, the large transactions of the Rongchang have almost been wiped out, and millions of taxes have been contributed to the imperial court every year, and there has never been a mistake!" In the past two years, the Royal Bank has extended its business to Hangzhou, Yingtian, Yizhou, Wuchang, Lingnan, and of course, Luoyang. ”

Wen Jifu continued: "Yes, the Royal Bank is indeed very important, merchants from all over the world can travel long distances, they can completely do not need to carry currency, all the accounts are handled by the Royal Bank, which is safe and convenient, and it is impossible to do without ...... Wang Xianggong, you mean to use the Royal Bank to collect taxes? ”

"Clever!"

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "As long as it is stipulated that all bulk commodity trade must be settled by the bank, and when the bank settles, the tax payment voucher must be inspected, in this way, the businessman will not be able to run, at least the big businessman will not be able to run!" Of course, they can also try their best to negotiate with the bank, but after all, with more bank checks, the effect will be much better, and I estimate that with the economic scale of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a problem to collect more than 50 million commercial taxes every year. ”

Wen Yanbo didn't believe it, "You said that it will be levied, what if people directly trade with cash without using a bank?" ”

This time, there was no need for Wang Ning'an to explain, Wen Jifu smiled and said: "Dad, large transactions, very security, there is the intervention of the court and the bank, if you are deceived, you can report it, if it is a private transaction, something happens, no one will deal with it for them, according to the child, as long as it is a serious businessman, the tax is reasonable, they are still willing to pay taxes." There are also some workshops and factories, which are placed there, and it is well documented how many materials are imported and how many goods are shipped, and they dare not hide. ”

"Somewhat!"

Wen Yanbo's brows furrowed, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Lord Wang, if the old man didn't guess wrong, is the cement workshop also taxable?" ”

Wang Ningan rolled his eyes, "Our shipyard pays taxes!" ”

"This ......"

How profitable the cement workshop is, Wen Yanbo is taught, a few months of hard work, all kinds of orders, the benefits of being able to share the Wen family are more than 170,000 yuan, although Wen Xianggong has a big family, he also has a red face and a hot heart!

"No, absolutely not!"

Lao Wen shook his head like a rattle, wanting to cut meat from him, don't think!

Wang Ningan was so angry that he turned around several times, "I said Wen Xianggong, why are you so confused?" As long as you pinch the bank, grasp the cash flow, hundreds of millions of dollars a year, casually, and make more money than just cement, if you stare at this small profit, you will always be a dirt bun in the soil! ”

The sky is thundering!

Wen Xianggong has always been known for his shrewdness, but he was actually scolded for being a bun. made Lao Wen vomit three liters of blood, and almost died on the spot. It's his son Wen Jifu, he and Wang Ningan fought a copper price war, and the power of the Royal Bank made him heartbroken and engraved in his bones!

Over the years, he has studied painstakingly and observed every move of the Royal Bank, and he really has a lot of experience.

He thinks that Daddy's idea is really an out-and-out dirt bun!

What is wealth?

It's not the money that stays at home!

Wealth is the power that governs the world, and it is only when it is moved that wealth can exert its power.

Mastering the bank is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of wealth, which affects the flow of wealth. Let's put it this way, just knowing that the rich man who earns money is a herbivore like cattle and sheep, and if he masters finance, he is a predator like a lion and a tiger! As for the common people, they rely on that bit of sunshine and rain and dew, and the plants that are called organic matter are hard work, from ancient times to the present, it is better to ......

It took Wen Jifu a full night to explain this truth to his father. Wen Yanbo finally changed his old brain and completely stood with Wang Ningan.

"Moon Xianggong, you will be thrilled by your decision, because you stand with the strong!"

"The strong? Is that you? Wen Yanbo hesitated.

"Me? It's just a part-time job for the strong. ”

Wen Yanbo sneered and disagreed, "Who has such a great ability to let you work as a part-time worker, the old man wants to know which way it is a monster......

Speaking of this, Wen Yanbo suddenly closed his mouth, and his eyes were full of horror!

Yes, it's Your Majesty!!

God, Zhao Zhen stood behind Wang Ningan!!

Lao Wen is not smart in finance, but the smell of the wind is definitely the top three in the world, no wonder Zhao Zhen will support Wang Ning'an, and no wonder Wang Ning'an dares to think about anything, this kid and the emperor have been tied together...... Wen Yanbo was both surprised and happy.

cooperated with Wang Ning'an, and it can be regarded as getting on Zhao Zhen's ship, and it will be covered by the emperor in the future.

……

From a model of Shilin and a noble minister, he has become a cadre of the imperial party and a minion of the emperor...... Our Wen Xianggong has become a traitor, degenerate, bad, and shameless...... There are countless negative words to describe him, and Wen Yanbo originally thought that he would be in pain for a while, but after sleeping, this old man figured it out.

Damn, what kind of big cloves of garlic are pretended, how many people want to squeeze in but can't squeeze in!

Wen Yanbo quickly hurriedly approached Wang Ning'an to discuss what to do.

After all, this bureau is too big, and at present, only Wang Ning'an, Zhao Zhen, and the Wen family's father and son know that the first step is naturally to open up the green salt of Western Xia.

It just so happened that there was still a month left to be the 10th birthday of Li Liangzuo, the lord of Western Xia, and according to the custom, the Great Song Dynasty was to send envoys to congratulate him.

"Wang Xianggong, you can recommend someone!"

Wen Yanbo said happily, he thought that Wang Ning'an would nominate his disciples, but Wang Ning'an thought for a while, and then smiled: "Let that Sima Guang go!" ”

"What?"

Wen Yanbo was taken aback, and said in his heart that Sima Guang was greedy and reckless, and made the defeat of Linzhou, fortunately, Pang Ji was charged, and because the war in the northwest was tight, it was difficult to investigate, so Sima Guang could be safe and sound, but in the eyes of the princes of the imperial court, his image plummeted, and his career was cut off.

What medicine did Wang Ningan take wrong and give Sima Guang the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? Could it be that he has some collusion with Pang Ji? Or if he doesn't agree, Wang Ningan will go to Pang to cooperate?

No matter how much Wen Yanbo wanted to break his head, he couldn't guess that Wang Ningan had read "Zizhi Tongjian" and knew that Guangguang was powerful!

I thought that Wang Ningan and Pang Ji had collusion, Wang Ningan was happy that Wen Yanbo misunderstood, and when dealing with this old fox, he had to keep seven points at all times, otherwise he would have to suffer!

……

A middle-aged man, standing by the Quye River, looking at the other bank, full of melancholy, complicated to the extreme...... There is only success in this way, not failure! If you fail, jump into the Quye River and die with those more than a thousand soldiers!

Guangguang with full determination, killed the Western Xia, he may not be able to fight, but when it comes to playing with the heart and eye, compared to IQ, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that in the past two thousand years, there are not many people who dare to say that they are better than Guangguang......

It took a month and a half before and after, and the Great Song and Western Xia finally reached an agreement, in which the Western Xia handed over the five officers who started the war without authorization, dealt with the Great Song, and made amends to the Great Song.

On the part of the Great Song Dynasty, it reopened the field and promised to give the Western Xia an annual trade volume of 300,000 stone blue salt, so that the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia would always maintain peace and not invade each other......

When this news came out, before Sima Guang returned to the Great Song Dynasty, the price of salt in the northwest changed three times a day and fell rapidly.

In half a month, Luoyang has dropped from 35 wen per catty to 28 wen per catty, and it is still declining, Wang Ningan is very satisfied, worthy of Sima Guang, it is amazing!

If you can take this guy into the account, let him praise himself when he writes "Zizhi Tongjian" in the future, so that future generations will worship him, and he will be excited when he thinks about it!

A few families are happy and a few are sad, Wang Ningan still has leisure and thoughts...... But some salt merchants couldn't sit still, they looked for connections one after another, and many people found Pang Ji, hoping that the old minister could come forward to help.
