How much can the imperial court receive each year in the Tang Dynasty liquor tax? Last year, it was more than a million. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This number is a lot, but it still doesn't satisfy Li Chen.

It stands to reason that wine should be able to collect more money, and wine can only be sold officially, which should be very profitable. It's just, that's theoretical. Li Chen is not an emperor who is in the deep palace and does not know the world, not to mention that he has also sold wine. Know how messy it is.

Datang liquor tax, there is no unified standard in various places. In some places, the monopoly is strictly enforced. Like Yangzhou, Huainan Jiedu made a stricter grasp, and when he was in Yangzhou, most of his wine was bought from the winery run by the government. A small part of it is moonshine brought in from outside the city. With a little money, many soldiers can turn a blind eye. It's even more chaotic in Xufu. There are many large and small private wineries, as long as you give the government enough money, he can leave you alone.

In addition to the indiscriminate collection of liquor tax in Datang, there is no clear way, and its representative is the poor and crazy imperial court, which spreads the liquor tax into two taxes and collects it anywhere.

None of these can satisfy Li Chen, he knows that the Song Dynasty has a lot of wine taxes. And there is no such thing as the Tang Dynasty, which is unreasonable and levies a liquor tax anywhere. In Li Chen's view, this is an inexplicable way to collect money, the reason is that almost everyone drinks alcohol, so it is spread in the local tax.

This is the same as seeing a man and arresting him as a strong criminal, which is unreasonable. Everyone drinks alcohol, and they all spread the wine on the local tax, and every man has that kind of words, and he can commit crimes, so he should be arrested? If it is not changed, it is simply unbearable and does not conform to the principle of taxation.

He mainly got his hands dirty with wine and sugar. Wine and sugar, all taken over by the state. Among them, there is nothing in sugar, and Datang's current sugar production is not enough, and it still needs to be promoted. Li Chen's main focus is wine.

Salt, he also wanted to change, and it was necessary to change, but he didn't make a big move, this is a big tax head, and it was changed suddenly, and if something happened, he would have to cry.

The way to improve, his plan is the same as the salt method, just grasp the source. First of all, he directly set up a public sale bureau. Specializing in sugar and liquor. Among them, sugar still needs support, and wine is the bulk of it.

The implementation method is that the license is sold first. In big cities, homebrewing is allowed, but it is stipulated that this koji can only be bought from the government. In order to avoid exploiting merchants, there is no limit to the number of licenses and the price is not high. The main thing is to control the koji. How much koji there is, how much sake can be brewed, this is a certain amount.

If the quantity you sell does not match the amount of koji you bought, then you are either selling water seepage wine, or you do not comply with the regulations, you will be severely fined, and your license will be revoked, and you will not be allowed to reapply for several years.

In addition, it's not that you don't give other people a way to live, you don't buy a license, just buy alcohol with someone who has a license. Honestly, that's the hardest part to catch, there are so many of these little spots. Some of them don't have shops at all, so they sell their own drinks everywhere and then sell some snacks at the same time. Liquidity is too strong.

Big hotel, easy to catch. It's this kind of small selling point, if you don't grasp it, it's too flooding, not to mention the impact on taxes, and it's easy to give people a bad example.

It is too labor-intensive and does not conform to the economic principles of the four principles of taxation. And Li Chen didn't want to be like the tax supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the tax collector would become the source of extortion and extortion of the people. So, in this regard, he is completely handed over to those licensed hotels. You don't have to send someone to catch it,

If you brew privately without a license, if you brew less, it is better to buy it from others, and if you brew too much, the report of the same industry will make him unable to eat and walk around, which is better than sending someone to keep an eye on it.

That's probably the case for big cities, the key is for more remote areas. As mentioned above, it is very troublesome to catch small ones, and it is even more troublesome to catch remote areas, and it is troublesome to catch these small shops in big cities, not to mention some remote areas. I don't know the location, and I can't get much tax for a month.

Simply, Li Chen sold the liquor tax in these places. Following the salt law, it is divided into several regions, and each region has several licenses, and these licenses cover the local liquor.

If you sell alcohol locally, you must buy it with a local license. It is not allowed to buy or sell across borders. This will be inspected by the local government, and the newly established sugar and liquor monopoly will also be vigorously inspected, just like the investigation of illicit salt, to investigate alcohol that crosses the border.

In addition, in order to avoid monopoly, this license is not permanent. Every few years, there is a re-bidding. In each region, there will be at least two or more, and not only one will be issued separately.

The intershelf tax has also been revised. Each of the different regions will be differentiated and will be given a different amount of tax. There is no longer a separate distinction between upper class, medium house, lower house, etc. Instead, the price is higher in some high-end areas

Like the East and West Markets, Pingkangfang, these areas have high taxes. The further south the city, the more desolate it is, the lower the price. Also, it stands to reason that the bigger the house, the higher the price, regardless of which area you are.

In addition, the tax collectors who used to be criticized for taking calculations and directly collecting taxes have also changed. This point did not disappoint the guesses of those tax collectors, and in the future, the housing tax will become self-payment every year. Anyway, it's fixed every year.

The tax collector will come to the door to get the situation, only, one amount has changed, and the second is to drag on and not pay. First of all, these will be notified first, sent to Lizheng, and Lizheng must be notified to every household. The tax collector would then go door-to-door to inform or collect the tax. Only, if you are in arrears to the tax collector to collect your taxes. At that time, not only did you have to pay money, but you also had to be punished.

The only thing that was fortunate for the tax collectors was that they were temporarily retained for work. After all, in this era, it is really not easy to find so many people who can write and calculate.

These are the general ways and methods for the implementation of the new tax law. Don't look at a lot, in fact, it mainly involves finance and taxation, Li Chen originally wanted to move the official system, it was best to think twice, but he didn't do it. I'm afraid that the backlash will be too loud.

The official system is tantamount to asking for the life of those officials. If those who oppose the reform of the bureaucracy join forces with those who oppose the tax reform, they will be completely opposed to the new law. In order to reduce resistance, Li Chen only started with the most critical tax law.

After it was announced, the imperial court began to get busy, and Li Chen was a little idle, and the prime minister would help him deal with these. Let him go on personally, and he won't be able to handle it well. By this time, he was a little lucky. He is not Ming Sizong, that is, the Chongzhen Emperor who is upside down.

For a few emperors at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen has a good evaluation, saying that he is very diligent, although he is very rigid and self-serving, at least it is much better than the previous emperors, if it is not for this and that problem, maybe the Ming Dynasty will not be finished.

However, Li Chen has seen one reason. Why did Chongzhen change so many prime ministers. Because, at that time, there was no qualified prime minister in the Ming Dynasty.

The statue of the prime minister needs to be cultivated, because of the failure of Wanli, which led to a fault in the training process of the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. From Wanli's death to Chongzhen, that time is not enough to connect the fault. As a result, Chongzhen has never been able to pick a qualified prime minister. will let him keep changing the prime minister, and the policy will also change. The convection was uncertain, and eventually caused a catastrophe.

Li Chen is glad that he is better than Sizong, although the disaster of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty is violent, there have been many emperors who have killed themselves. However, there is one thing that is stronger than the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, it has not appeared, and Wanli has been rotten for decades.

How is the prime minister trained? In fact, it is very simple, that is, let him go to different departments, take on different jobs, and slowly cultivate his knowledge and ability, which has not changed much in modern times. Wanli is rotten in the government, and many positions can not find people, although the government can still be maintained without force, but that is all in the consumption of the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, which can be maintained, and it is also the previous emperors, who left behind to get the legacy.

Li Chen was idle and found himself a little bored. During this period, he didn't go anywhere, occasionally hunting, and by the way, he went to the Wei River to take a look, the progress of the dismantling of the waterwheel, Li Chen handed over this matter to the water supervisor to do, and the waterwheel on the side of the Wei River was demolished less than a third.

In fact, he didn't do anything, he didn't do anything to demolish, it was a policy related to finance and taxation. There is a charge for the water truck.

Because all mountains, rivers, and swamps theoretically belong to the royal family. You are now taking advantage of the royal advantage, and if you don't pay the fee, you will tear it down for me.

It's useless for anyone to intercede, whether you are a relative of the Huang family or a wealthy family, every waterwheel has to pay me taxes, and the bigger you are, the more you have to pay.

Everyone thinks that the emperor is poor and crazy, and he has to make any money. There is no way, it is necessary to set up so many waterwheels, they just use them to grind something, and they don't need so many waterwheels at all.

Will be full of Wei River, the main thing is, don't occupy the white, don't occupy it, your family occupies it, my family doesn't occupy it, so if I grind something, don't I have to pay you? Rather than this, simply occupy a position at home, don't use it yourself, you can grind it for others, and then charge some fees.

Now, the emperor is poor and insane, and he has to make any money. This waterwheel requires a lot of money to keep. Many people were not happy and had to tear things down. The rest of these gains are all resigned to their fate and pay water conservancy use fees.

The bank of the Wei River was vacant, and Li Chen immediately occupied it. Of course, he didn't have to pay. To whom? Give it to Neku, isn't that a fart in your pants? The inner treasury took out the money, went around again, and returned to the inner treasury?

Li Chen is not occupied, he took advantage of the fact that many people were selling waterwheels and collected some. These waterwheels were not dismantled at all, Li Chen sent someone to take over the matter, you can save dismantling, I can save loading. However, he didn't accept it all, so he finally gave Weihe a way to live, and demolished a lot of them that were too small and ineffective.

In other words, what did Li Chen do when he dismantled it so cleanly? The minting supervisor did not mention it, and Li Chen wanted to open a factory. That's right, it's the factory.

After Li Chen brought cotton cloth technology back from India, he began to let Gundam study looms. There was the Jenny spinning machine, which caused the Industrial Revolution, and the Shuttle, which was called the same as it, which increased the speed of weaving. Because there was the latter first, and then there was the former, which triggered the industrial revolution.

For these two things, Li Chen only knows a rough idea. He came up with the concept, and then asked Gundam and a few of his peers to keep busy for a long time, and then a few more children who were interested in mechanics joined their research.

Finally, there has been a breakthrough recently. When Gundam entered Beijing, he was brought to Chang'an. Li Chen took advantage of the situation and prepared to set up a factory on the bank of the Weishui River. Use Weishui to obtain water conservancy to drive the loom.

As for whether he can rely on these two things to trigger the industrial revolution in Datang, Li Chen is not hopeful. He only hopes for two points, first, to make money, to make a lot of money. Secondly, to play a brick-throwing effect, at present, Datang has appeared with a large workshop with a hundred looms, Li Chen hopes that the emergence of this water-powered spinning machine and loom can further promote this.

Although it may be a little harder for the workers, the emergence of the factory system means that the labor has to be oppressed, and the family workshop that used to be easier and can control the time by oneself will slowly lose to the power of the big workshop or the factory, and disappear.

This is a kind of oppression for the workers, and the sharp confrontation between labor and management begins at this moment. It's just that Li Chen knows that only industrialization can make Datang truly stand on top of the world. Industrialization nearly a thousand years in advance, if the Tang Dynasty is really completed, then what else in the world can resist the footsteps of the Tang people.

Nomads in the North? Even if it was ten Temujin, when he led the Mongols into an industrialized country, it would be simply crushed, and the only thing Temujin could do was probably to lead the tribe and run as far as he could.

Li Chen hugged his youngest son and walked in the garden. Yang Er and Xiaohong were born one after another, Yang Er is a son and Xiaohongshi's daughter. It's not that he is patriarchal and only holds his son. But children are demons, and only when they are full of food and drink and fall asleep are angels.

Just now, the youngest son was making a fuss, and he finally finished urinating the, and now is the time for him to enjoy it. Don't doubt it, he, an emperor, also personally changed the child's diaper. It's also a kind of fun, of course, it's to try it once in a while, and he can't stand it if he wants to change it like this every day.

He could stand it, and the historian stopped doing it. How do you want him to remember this? Is it a straight book? He is really embarrassed to write, what are you doing badly, doing something that only faint kings in history do, I don't care about you, anyway, I am a record.

But what do you mean by changing diapers? Oh my God, kill me. The historian didn't say that, but Li Chen was so considerate that he saw his reaction, and wanted to say, it's better not to stimulate others too much next time.

(What's next?) Going to see an army drill? It's just now in the army, and it's not much to look at. Li Chen thought crankily while holding the child.

Now the palace is nothing new to him, the place is very big, but no matter how big it is, there is a day when he walks like this every day.

No wonder many emperors are either cultivating the Tao or cultivating Buddhism, this emperor doesn't like to beat and kill people, it seems that there is really no entertainment.

Come and see if the children are in class, Li Chen suddenly thought. He has ordered to open a royal school in Daming Palace to let his eldest son Li Kai study, but since its establishment, he has not been to see it, and now he is going to see it. (To be continued.) )
