"Brother Huang, such a big business strategy is feasible! However, the Qinchuan Mansion Treasury is currently in deficit, how can it support such a huge civil engineering project? ”

However, after calming down, the seventh princess Zhao Yun raised a doubt in her heart.

The strategy conceived by the imperial brother to prosper commerce and trade is naturally comprehensive and has excellent prospects.

But for Qin Chuan, who is currently running out of treasury and still needs to raise the strength of the whole county to help the people, how can he have so much money to build such a large number of buildings?

No matter how good the strategy is, no matter how perfect it is, if there is no financial support, isn't it the same as a mirror?

Therefore, as soon as the seventh princess Zhao Yun said this, it immediately attracted everyone's sideways, and they couldn't help but look at His Royal Highness King Qin, who was sitting on the throne, and wanted to know how His Royal Highness King Qin thought about this matter.

Obviously, for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was already in charge of the affairs of a county, it was impossible not to know how big a deficit there was in his treasury.

But knowing that this is the case, how does His Royal Highness King Qin plan to solve this problem?

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhao Zheng just smiled, and then continued unhurriedly.

"The treasury is empty, and this king naturally knows it...... However, opening up trade routes and promoting commerce and trade is a top priority for Qinchuan! ”

Zhao Zheng lightly knocked on the sandalwood desk, he didn't want to wait until two or three years later to do this, as the military advisor said.

He can't wait for Qin Chuan to get rich quickly in the shortest possible time, and then he can be comfortable and be his idle vassal king with peace of mind!

"Therefore, this matter should not be delayed, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible!"

Zhao Zheng suddenly stood up as he spoke, and his eyes shot at everyone.

"This king went to Sichuan this time, and the congratulatory gifts of various ethnic groups were added on top of each other, and there were roughly more than 600,000 taels of gold......"

"Your Highness! Never!! ”

"Brother Huang! I still need to think twice about this!! ”

However, before Zhao Zheng finished speaking, Zhao Long and Zhao Yun were already busy shouting!

As soon as they heard this, they subconsciously thought that His Highness wanted to open a private treasury again and donate for the country!!

Therefore, he was so anxious that he didn't even care about the etiquette for a while, so he shouted loudly on the spot!

Only Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu, was still a little inexplicable, looking at everyone with a confused face, and he didn't understand what was going on.

His Royal Highness King Qin mentioned his own Qin King Mansion Treasury, but it is impossible to donate the private treasury to the national treasury, right?

Why did Yun'er and this attendant suddenly become so excited?

"Don't be in a hurry...... This king's move was not to donate directly to the treasury for the purpose of expanding trade routes, but to have another roundabout method! ”

Zhao Zheng smiled and waved his hand, signaling Yun'er and Zicheng not to worry, it was naturally impossible for him to be stupid to donate all the private treasury to the treasury, but had other ideas.

"What? Your Highness! Do you really want to contribute money from your private treasury to open up the Three Kingdoms trade road for Qinchuan?! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Zhao Long suddenly felt relieved, only Gongsun Ji was shocked, and couldn't help shouting!

What did he just hear??

His Royal Highness the King of Qin! It is even necessary to use the private treasury to open up the Three Kingdoms business road for Qinchuan?!

This, this, this......

It's rare to do this!!

"Not bad! At present, the treasury of Qinchuan is empty, and the expansion of trade routes is a top priority! The king himself wants to contribute to help...... Ay! Don't worry! ”

Zhao Zheng was talking, but he saw that General Gongsun looked like he wanted to speak again, and he couldn't help but chuckle and wave his hand again and again, signaling that he didn't have to be in a hurry.

"This king's move is not to use the private treasury to donate to the national treasury, but to spend 500,000 gold to set up a trading company, which is a commercial bank directly under the royal government, specializing in the expansion of trade routes in the tiger prison!"

As soon as the words came, everyone in the hall was even more confused and confused.

This...... Is it different from giving directly to the treasury?

If it is donated directly to the treasury, when Qinchuan is rich in the future, you can still come back in a bright and bright way!

But if you take such a roundabout strategy as Your Highness said, wouldn't it belong to a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return? ?

Besides, how can the vassal king manage the business like this?!

In the name of the royal palace, a trading company was established!

This kind of behavior, even if you look at the entire Kyushu continent, is unheard of and unseen!!

"Brother Huang! So twists and turns...... But why? ”

Zhao Yun looked at the imperial brother with a puzzled expression, but she didn't know what kind of trading company the imperial brother suddenly came out, what did it mean? ?

"Hahahaha! Since it is a trading company, it naturally belongs to the domain of business transactions! If it is directly out of the private treasury of the palace, the meaning is very different! ”

Zhao Zheng saw that everyone was confused, and couldn't help laughing.

"Since it belongs to the category of business transactions, no matter which trading company is, it will not donate money in vain! Under the whole world, but what the trading company wants...... It's nothing more than a word of profit! ”

As Zhao Zheng, who traveled from later generations, he naturally took this model similar to a 'state-owned enterprise' for granted.

Moreover, he never felt that the business of a merchant belonged to any kind of cheap business, and it would be a loss for him to go into business as a dignified vassal king.

He didn't bother to care so much!

He just wants to make money now!!

As for face or something...... It's all nothing!

Only this white silver is real!!

Therefore, the establishment of a trading company in the name of the palace is really no psychological pressure for Zhao Zheng!

"And the trading company to which this king belongs, the pursuit of profit is naturally the same! The 500,000 gold is sprinkled in, so naturally we have to find a way to earn it back! ”

Zhao Zheng said, sat back in the collapse with a smile, looked at everyone's still puzzled faces, and couldn't help laughing.

"What? Do you want to say, but what is the benefit of this? ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and immediately looked at His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but they didn't know that this business company could profit from this expansion of the trade route for Qin Chuan?

How can you think about it, the only beneficiary is Qinchuan County and the people of Qinchuan!

As for the trading companies that are investing in the expansion of the business path...... Where did you get this 500,000 gold?

"Hahahaha! You can't figure it out! ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing, for the first time, there was a pleasure of standing on the shoulders of giants in later generations, using his vision and IQ to completely crush others!

"The trading company is responsible for funding the expansion of the business road, and there is no need for the Qinchuan County Government to bear a penny for this matter, and there will be no need for the Qinchuan County Government to repay anything in the future!"

What His Royal Highness King Qin said, but everyone was puzzled!

What the? There is no need to use the Qinchuan County Government to bear this cost??

That's such a big sum of money...... And where can it come from?!

"The trading company has nothing else to ask for but one thing!"

At the juncture, Zhao Zheng deliberately sold a pass, and sure enough, the people who were instantly attracted were very curious!

"What are you asking for??"

Zhao Yun was the most anxious, but she couldn't help but ask right away!

"Hahahaha! There is no other way to ask for it, but the right to operate for a hundred years in Tiger Prison Business! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun and Zhao Long were still distracted, they were still young and inexperienced, but they still didn't know what the right to operate for a hundred years was?

But Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu, suddenly brightened his eyes, and bowed his head slightly thoughtfully.

As for Zhao Zheng, when he saw that the two of them still had a confused look on their faces, he immediately added in detail.

"Since the official opening of the Tiger Prison Trade Road, all the merchants of all countries who have passed through the trade road from this trade road will be collected by the trading company to repay the debt of capital expansion of the trade road!"

In fact, Zhao Zheng's move is also very simple.

To put it bluntly, it's almost the same as building highways in later generations!

Your government doesn't have any money, right, well, my trading company will fund the construction of a trade road for you, and I don't need your government to repay this debt, as long as the right to operate this road passes!

As a result, the government had no money to build the road and did not have to repay any debts.

Although the trading company financed the construction of the road, it was granted the right to operate the road for 100 years, and it was possible to recoup the investment and even make a profit by collecting tolls, transaction taxes, and other taxes.

For the people, it was very troublesome to not have this road, but now suddenly there is this road to solve many problems, and they only need to pay a small fee to use it, so why not?

In this way, the three parties benefit, and naturally everyone is happy!

For a while, the people who finally figured it out here looked at Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, with a little more strange look in their eyes!

Especially the general of Weihu, Gongsun Ji, was even more surprised in his heart!

It's no wonder that my father values him so much, and even does not hesitate to write a letter in person, telling him to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Qin, and he is in charge of everything.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so old and capable, not at all like a young vassal king who is only twelve years old!

In particular, the roundabout strategy of such a trading company to invest and operate a return on profits is unheard of, and it is simply ingenious!!

"Color!"

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ji couldn't help but applaud loudly!

"Your Highness! It's easy to solve such a tricky thing in an understatement! The last general is really admired! Admire, admire! ”

Gongsun Ji immediately gave up his hand and praised it repeatedly!

"Yes! I never imagined that this matter could be handled like this! ”

Zhao Long, who was born in a poor family, although it took him a longer time to barely figure out this matter, but such a whimsical idea was tantamount to an eye-opener for him, and he was simply amazed!

"Yes...... Brother Huang, just collecting commercial taxes, can you recover the full 500,000 gold? ”

Zhao Yun Bingxue is smart, so she is naturally thorough.

But because of this, she thinks more and farther.

After all, that's a full 500,000 gold!

This is 500,000 gold from her royal brother!!

Such a large sum of money was spent like this, Zhao Yun was really distressed, and she cherished it even more than spending her own money!

Therefore, even if there is a hundred years of the right to operate the Tiger Prison business, can such a large sum of money really be fully recovered?

Just collect some pitiful tariffs, how much can you charge?

After all, such a big profit as salt and iron belongs to the monopoly tax, which is listed separately from the commercial tax!

Under the circumstance that the imperial brother has nationalized the salt and iron monopoly, even if it is the Tiger Prison Trade, it cannot be an exception!

Otherwise, isn't this move tantamount to slapping himself in the face?

Besides, she was born in the royal family, and she understands that if the 500,000 gold is not moved, but just borrowed out, how much profit will be in this hundred years alone? ?

Therefore, she bit her lower lip lightly and couldn't help but worry, but she was really worried about the deal of the imperial brother, what should she do if she lost money!

That's 500,000 gold for me, my royal brother!!

"Haha! Sister Yun! You don't know this, the benefits of trade between the three countries are really unimaginable! ”

Zhao Zheng smiled and comforted his Yun sister, and took this opportunity to tell the policy of commercial tax reform in his heart in public.

"Besides, in the plan for the brother, this tiger prison business...... The matter of commercial taxation still needs to be restructured! ”

Just one word, everyone was shocked!

They all looked at each other in unison, but they didn't know how His Royal Highness the King of Qin planned to reform the business tax? !

"At present, in the three countries of Kyushu, the matter of commercial tax is nothing more than tariff, municipal tax, and miscellaneous tax!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but get up again and paced slowly.

"The so-called tariff is the tax of customs clearance, the so-called city tax, which is the transaction of the square market, and the tax is drawn according to the amount, and the so-called miscellaneous tax is even more varied and increased at will."

As for the matter of commercial taxation, like Tian Fu, Zhao Zheng naturally had long thought about the lifeblood of such a country, and had already taken measures to restructure.

Anyway, everything related to money is what Zhao Zheng cares about the most and values the most!

"The king's will...... If Tiger Prison wants to become the trade center of the three countries, it must abandon tariffs and miscellaneous taxes, and must re-market taxes! ”

His Royal Highness King Qin's words shocked the four again!

Just because since ancient times, the countries of Kyushu have all had three taxes in parallel: customs duties, municipal taxes, and miscellaneous taxes!

Even in some important places where trade is unusually frequent, they have to continuously raise tariffs and try their best to list and add miscellaneous taxes!

As for the voluntary abandonment of tariffs and miscellaneous taxes, it is even more unheard of, it is simply incredible!!

How did His Royal Highness King Qin win the right to operate the Tiger Prison Business Road for a hundred years for the trading company, not only did not want to find ways to increase the commercial tax, but also did the opposite and took the initiative to reduce the commercial tax? !

This, this, this!

It's really puzzling!!

"Hahahaha! How? Do you find it difficult to understand? ”

When Zhao Zheng saw their expressions, he couldn't help laughing, and suddenly there was a strong sense of IQ crushing pleasure!

"But you don't know anything! Clever pretenses and additional commercial taxes will only make the merchants of other countries retreat away and avoid it! ”

Zhao Zheng slowly put away his smile, and then said.

"Especially when the Tiger Prison business road was first established, how could it attract rich businessmen from all over the world and great people from all over the world? It's just free of customs duties and miscellaneous taxes! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun and Zhao Long were still confused, only General Gongsun seemed to have something in mind, but it was difficult to grasp the key point for a long time.

"Think about it...... At present, all parts of Kyushu are paying taxes and increasing tariffs, and who really cares about the lowly businessmen and the like in their eyes? ”

Heavy agriculture and suppression of business, this deep-rooted traditional thought of ancient feudal society, had no impact on Zhao Zheng at all!

"If at this time, I declare to the world that all customs duties and miscellaneous taxes will be exempted! The city tax is only drawn on the amount of the transaction! Let me ask the merchants of all countries, who are not so moved that they take the initiative to come here? ”

The words of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, like brilliant words, made everyone in the palace stunned!

"In this way, my Tiger Prison business will naturally increase greatly, and commerce will flourish! Although small commercial taxes such as tariffs and miscellaneous taxes have been abandoned, it has greatly boosted the major commercial tax of the city tax! And I will exempt commercial tax and miscellaneous tax, even if the proportion of municipal tax is slightly increased...... Who is dissatisfied? ”

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at everyone with a smile.

But I saw that everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and their faces were full of admiration!

Especially the general of Weihu, Gongsun Ji, is the most, hearing such ancient strange strategies, his heart is stirred, and he can't help but sigh with emotion!

"If His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a businessman...... It must be the first major business in Kyushu! ”

……

"Since ancient times, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business, the emphasis on scholars and the neglect of business, for the orthodoxy of China, for the public opinion of Kyushu!

However, Emperor Qian, in order to dominate the industry, actually gave up orthodoxy and disregarded, and abandoned the order of dignity and humility like a mustard!

Don't chase the Central Plains Avenue, don't follow the orthodox ancient rules, just seek the left way, wantonly use kitsch lewd skills, and finally fall behind!

Giggle! How ridiculous is this? ”
