Chapter 321 Export Tax Rebates

"Okay, don't guess, Zhao Yuncong, you can go to Lin'an University to report to Mr. Shen in the next few days." I smiled and said, "In addition to the normal affairs of the university, your temporary scientific research work is to help Song Wuxin and Yun Bofei's two groups continue to tackle key problems. ”

"Yes, Childe, I'll report it in the next day."

"Well, Zhao Yuncong, I want to remind you that many of the scientific research projects of Lin'an University are commissioned by the imperial court and have strict secrecy, and some projects can't even be said to your loved ones, can you do it."

"Childe, Yun is smart and white."

"Well, you have to do that, Enlightenment."

"Childe."

"Is there any progress on that steam engine project?"

"Back to Gongzi, not yet."

"Well, when Zhao Yuncong is familiar with the affairs of the university, he will also join this group."

"Childe, what is this steam engine?"

"Well, Dean Quanjue will tell you about this later."

Zhao Yuncong found that he was not much different from the frog at the bottom of the well, it seems that this Lin'an University is really full of talents, Zhao Yuncong has always been conceited, he didn't expect that this dinner, there are a lot of novel things that he has never even heard, since then, Zhao Yuncong put away his conceit, and finally became a mechanical expert who surpassed Su Song,

Holding the same idea is also Zhang Sanfeng, who just came to Lin'an yesterday, although Zhang Sanfeng does not understand these scientific knowledge, but he has followed Zhang Yun'an for many years and has been deeply influenced by him, so he respects learned gentlemen and professors.

The only difference with Zhao Yuncong is that in Zhang Sanfeng's heart, he deepened his curiosity about me.

In the following few days, Yuan Jian did not teach Zhang Quanyi any martial arts, but every day from the imperial guards selected one or two people with different martial arts skills to come to Shifeng Commercial House and Zhang Quanyi to practice moves, sometimes Fang Ling would also join them, at the end of each time, Yuan Jian would give a lecture to both sides of the battle, not only Zhang Quanyi, but even the sparring partners also benefited a lot,

Yuan Jian believes that Zhang Quanyi's own Biluo Palace martial arts are very clever, and compared with the martial arts of the Emperor Valley, it is not much worse, so the first thing to do is to integrate his own martial arts in actual combat, which is also consistent with Zhang Yun'an's opinion.

In the past year or so of training, Zhang Quanyi has accumulated a lot of practical experience, and after these days Yuan Jian arranged a surname specific training, he gradually engraved the martial arts skills he learned vividly in his mind.

It can't be said that Zhang Quanyi's martial arts talent is extremely high, after Yuan Jian's explanation, Zhang Quanyi's understanding of actual combat skills soon penetrated into a new realm, whether it was Fang Ling or Yuan Jian, they were all amazed by this,

On this afternoon, Fang Ling and Xiao Tian accompanied Pu Shougeng, who had just returned to Beijing, to leave the Red Cross and come to Shifeng Commercial Bank.

Xiao Si saw the three of them coming, and said, "Miss Fang, Mr. Yuan asked you to go to the backyard and said that you would like to make a move, and then try to compete with Zhang Gongzi." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

"President Pu, Childe is upstairs, you can go up by yourself."

"Well, thank you little brother."

Pu Shougeng walked up to the second floor, and when he saw that I was the only one in the house, he hurriedly closed the door, bowed down and said, "My subordinate Pu Shougeng sees Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Pu Shougeng sat down, he handed me an account and said, "Your Majesty, this is the account of the Pu Family Trading Bank last year, please look at it." ”

I took the account book, put it on the table casually, and said with a smile: "Pu Shougeng, let's just say it." ”

"Yes, Childe, the export business of the firm has increased significantly compared with the first half of last year, in addition to the slight increase in the original items, most of the increase comes from new items such as monosodium glutamate, magnifying glass, etc., and since the end of last year, the export share of tea has begun to show a very good trend, due to the growth of income, last year's account summary was delayed for half a month, so the subordinates arrived a few days late, according to His Majesty's instructions, all the proceeds of the firm have been transferred to the Yinzhuang branch opened by the Great Song Dynasty Royal Silver Village in Quanzhou."

"Well, I will take a look at the relevant accounts, Mr. Pu, you are my predecessor in the business community, do you have any suggestions for the economic development of my dynasty this year."

Pu Shougeng seemed to be prepared, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, judging from the current economic situation of our dynasty, commerce and handicrafts have surpassed traditional agriculture, what does Your Majesty think about this?" ”

"I think this is a good thing, since ancient times, although agriculture has always been the foundation, but with the progress of the times, it is the general trend for industry and commerce to surpass agriculture."

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty has this high opinion, then the subordinates will talk about the suggestions of the subordinates, since five or six years ago after the Mongolian Kublai Khan retreated north, our dynasty has temporarily been peaceful, especially in the year since His Majesty ascended the throne, all walks of life in our dynasty have gradually recovered their vitality, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as steaming, the situation in the countryside has begun to show a recovery trend compared with the past, the gradual implementation of land reform, so that the positive surname of the peasants has been greatly improved, and the subordinates believe that in addition to the vigorous support of the imperial court in policy, This year, it is also necessary to guide the surplus labor force in the countryside to join the industry and commerce, His Majesty set the tone of the scientific and technological revolution a year ago, the scientific and technological revolution will greatly improve the production efficiency of the peasants, under the same output, the working hours of the peasants will also be shortened, so that there will be too much labor, and these laborers are just supplemented to the vigorous development of industry and commerce, but the peasants of our dynasty have always been land-oriented, unwilling to leave easily, which requires the guidance of the imperial court, the easiest way, The subordinates thought that they could build agricultural processing workshops in various places. ”

"Agricultural product processing workshops, township enterprises." I nodded, "Yes, go on." ”

"When there is a surplus of grain, farmers can choose to sell the grain to the imperial court, or they can reprocess it and sell it to the market, for example, farmers in Quanzhou will grow a fruit called longan, if this fruit is overproduced, they will make it into dried longan, sell it to the whole of Fujian Province, and their subordinates will also buy it and export it overseas, if the local government guides it, it can increase the income of farmers."

"Yes, this is a good way for farmers who have the ability and skills to organize themselves and set up processing workshops."

Pu Shougeng saw that he was recognized by me, and said happily: "It's just that most of the current processing of agricultural products is limited to family workshops, and it is difficult to form a large-scale operation. ”

"Haha." I smiled and said, "Mr. Pu, your idea coincides with mine, and I am considering changing the state-owned liquor processing workshop into a liquor production factory." ”

"What is the difference between a factory and a workshop?"

"Mr. Pu, most of the workshops in my dynasty are family-based, generally do not hire workers, only apprentices, helpers, there are some large workshops, such as the Zheng's ironwork workshop in Suzhou, it employs a small number of long-term workers, but most of them are still helpers, and the factory I am talking about is the factory owners to take the method of employing long-term workers, according to the production process of the factory and the characteristics of the workers are divided into different types of workers, I will take the liquor workshop as an example, there must be the purchase of grain, there must be the use of distillation equipment, There must be a large number of workers who debug the liquor formula, have to fill the bottles, and manage the warehouse, etc., if only a small part of the production is produced, then a family can complete it, but to produce thousands of bottles of liquor, it takes a large group of people to work together, and these workers are only responsible for one process, and the production efficiency will be greatly improved. More than 100 years ago, there was a boat factory, a large number of ships in the form of mass production on the production line from components, it took about a day to assemble a ship, and the factory had more than 16,000 workers in its heyday, for the manufacturing of the surname factory, each person made a part, and finally assembled. ”

Pu Shougeng praised: "Childe's ideas are more advanced and comprehensive, and his subordinates are not as good as them. ”

Handicraft workshops, handicraft workshops, and then handicraft factories and modern factories are the process of capitalist development, among which the emergence of handicraft workshops marks the emergence of capitalism, China's capitalist sprouts were actually born in the late Song Dynasty at the earliest, and even more than the Ming Dynasty, but because of the century-long rule of Mongolia, the development of capitalism died.

"Mr. Pu, go on."

"Yes, Childe, if the handicraft industry can form large-scale production, it will improve production efficiency, provide more goods for the society, and at the same time can also solve the employment problem of surplus labor brought about by the development of agriculture, for commerce, the policy of the imperial court has been very good, the Ministry of Commerce established last year is an example, the subordinates believe that it is only necessary to improve the social status of merchants, for export trade, the subordinates have the most ideas."

"Well, Mr. Pu has been engaged in export trade, let's talk carefully."

"Childe, gold and silver are congenital things, can not be manufactured by themselves, and whether it is tea, liquor, monosodium glutamate and other items are made the day after tomorrow, in exchange for overseas innate things of my dynasty, the subordinates think that this is a very cost-effective deal, therefore, the imperial court should vigorously support it, in addition to the embargo, the imperial court can formulate a series of preferential policies to encourage the export of our dynasty's commercial firms, subordinates during the Spring Festival this year, thought of a method, I don't know if it is feasible, subordinates said it and asked His Majesty to correct."

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, under the maintenance of the normal export tax rate, the imperial court will return the tariffs to the trading houses that export goods according to a certain ratio, so as to increase the profits of these trading houses, so as to increase their export enthusiasm, of course, this policy is not for all export items, but for the domestic backlog or facing elimination, for example, when the production scale of new distilled liquor is expanded, it will affect the sales of the original ordinary liquor, and the original workshops will not be able to sell the goods. The demand in overseas markets still exists, so we should vigorously encourage them to export, reduce export costs in the form of tax refunds, so that these liquor that are facing elimination can compete with the same overseas goods. ”

"Export tax rebates."

Pu Shougeng thought that no one had thought of this suggestion, but he didn't know that I said these four words in an instant, and it was also appropriate for its intention, and he was surprised at the moment: "Your Majesty, could it be that you have already had this intention." ”
