"This ...... However, in more than two months, the tax has reached 30,000 gold? ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Returning to my king, it is so! Tiger Prison Business Road prohibits private transactions, and all commercial transactions, no matter how big or small, are three out of 10! The trade of millions of gold can be taxed more than 30,000 gold! ”

When Hawking heard this, he immediately responded.

"Oh...... Three out of 10? ”

Zhao Zheng suddenly bowed his head lightly when he heard this, knowing that this one hundred and ten draws three is actually equivalent to three percent, and every hundred gold transactions will draw three gold city tax.

Strictly speaking, three out of 100 is actually not so outrageous, and it is easy for businessmen to bear.

The reason why as much as 30,000 gold in commercial tax was extracted in a short period of time was because of the huge amount of transactions, which was accumulated little by little, and finally accumulated such an astonishing figure!

But even so, Zhao Zheng still felt a little incredible.

After all, his maternal family, Ban Shi, has been in business for hundreds of years, and he is supported by a century-old store such as Ban Jude, which is famous in Beijing.

But after a year, the net amount of profit that the entire Ban clan can net down is only 50,000 gold!

But he just opened up a tiger prison business road, and casually rectified it, and it was only three months of hard work, and he easily entered more than 30,000 gold!

This......

In this comparison, Zhao Zheng was stunned, but he never expected it.

"How...... How to trade and deal, it can be so huge?! ”

He was puzzled, and immediately asked in confusion.

After all, the Tiger Prison Business Road has only been open for a few months.

And such a question is also confusing in the hearts of others.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall looked at Hawking, waiting for an answer with curiosity on their faces.

"Returning to my king, although my Tiger Prison business road has not been opened for a long time, it is very popular with merchants from all over the world! Due to the multiple tariffs of the Kyushu countries, the city tax is light, and it is often cleverly set up to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which makes the merchants miserable! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads, obviously agreeing.

After all, no matter for all countries, these businessmen who are doing business everywhere are like lambs to the slaughter, and anyone who only wants to take some oil and water from them, and which person in power will really put himself in the shoes of these businessmen and consider them?

But the tiger prison business, the land of Qinchuan ...... But it's completely different!

"And I Tiger Prison Business, although the city tax is 100 and 3, but all redundant business taxes are exempted, so that merchants from all countries can trade with peace of mind! And the city is orderly, the security is excellent, and the business environment is highly praised! Therefore, although it has been through for a few months, it has attracted wide attention and has been well received! ”

After a brief pause, Hawking added.

"This is one of the great prosperity of the Tiger Prison Business Road!"

As he spoke, Hawking held out one finger and then two fingers.

"Second! The Tiger Prison Trade Road is located in the core of the Three Kingdoms, and it is at least a thousand miles away from Dali to Daqian! It has never been done before to go straight to Daqian to do business from Beidi! Therefore, the Tiger Prison Business Road has taken full advantage of its geographical advantages and has become a business hub by itself, but how can it not prosper, how can it not prosper? ”

With that, Hawking stretched out his third finger again and said seriously.

"Third, the market tax is heavy and private trade is not allowed! Because we are exempt from all customs duties and miscellaneous taxes, and only draw market taxes from transactions, the regulations are strict and extremely strict in the matter of eliminating private transactions! ”

As soon as this remark came out, even if everyone in the hall bowed their heads, they all agreed in their hearts.

After all, Tiger Prison Business only extracts the city tax generated by business and trade, and if the merchants are allowed to trade privately, it will not be a big loss, and they will simply lose to death!

For other regions, customs duties, miscellaneous taxes and other taxes are the bulk of commercial taxes, so for the extremely troublesome city tax, almost no effort will be spent to strictly investigate, and this naturally makes the wind of private transactions prevail, and the city tax that can be collected is naturally pitiful.

As a result, the city tax, which does not collect much money but is extremely troublesome to check, is naturally less and less valued.

In some places, they have even directly abandoned the municipal tax and replaced it with increased tariffs or miscellaneous taxes to make up for it.

In this way, it is naturally simple and convenient for the local government to collect commercial taxes, no matter how big a business you do, or even whether you do business or not, anyway, as long as you pass through here, you must pay the corresponding customs duties and miscellaneous taxes.

These blatant commercial tax systems naturally make all businessmen all over the world complain and complain, which is simply miserable, but there is no way to do it.

After all, the status of Shinong, industry and commerce, and merchants were always at the bottom of the list in ancient society, and they were also the least valued group.

Therefore, it is enough to imagine that when the Tiger Prison Trade Road, which is a well-thought-out and considerate trade route for merchants from all over the world, is officially opened!

How attractive it is to the world's businessmen who are all over Kyushu and are running around doing business!!

Therefore, after the official opening of the Tiger Prison Trade Road, more than three months later, hundreds of businessmen from all over the world have gathered here!

As many as millions of business transactions have been generated, and as much as 30,000 gold of city taxes have been extracted!

With such a good momentum in the first place, what will the future of Tiger Prison Business Road develop into, and how much gold can it swallow? !

For a while, everyone present was stunned, but it was unimaginable!!

But there is no doubt that the great success of Tiger Prison Business is recognized by everyone!

"Ninth brother, if this momentum continues, I'm afraid it won't be ten years old...... The millions of dollars you invested at the beginning are enough to pay for themselves, right? ”

Thinking of this, but after a rough calculation, Song King Zhao Qian suddenly couldn't help but exclaim!

It must be known that more than 30,000 gold in three months, and more than 100,000 gold in a year!

In ten years, the city tax alone can extract millions of gold!

Although this is only a rough estimate, it has not yet removed a series of management costs such as manpower and material resources required to manage such a large business road of Huaxia Trading Company.

But Zhao Qian also did not calculate, the rapid development and trade prosperity of Tiger Prison Business in the future!

After all, the Tiger Prison Business Road has only been open for a few months, and there is already such a climate!

Who can imagine what kind of prosperity the Tiger Prison Business Road will reach ten years later?

What's more, in this Huaxia Trade City, the rental income of so many large and small shops and storage warehouses has not been included in it!

In this way, although it is only a rough calculation, Zhao Qian judged that the original investment of millions of gold can be recovered in less than ten years at most!

And the remaining 90 years can lie on the merit book and reap the benefits!

Such a business really made Zhao Qian, who originally ignored national politics, couldn't help but be dumbfounded and shocked!!

"Uh, this ......"

However, after Zhao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but groan in a slightly embarrassed manner, and after his eyes couldn't help but look at each other with Hawking, the two of them almost couldn't help laughing.

After all, only the two of them knew that when the Huaxia Trading Company was first established, Zhao Zheng only gave Hawking 500,000 gold!

As for the rumored millions of gold in the outside world, it is just a rumor that Hawking deliberately released in order to create momentum......

Therefore, if it continues at this rate of collecting money, why does it take ten years to recover the cost?

I'm afraid that I have to cut it in half directly, and it will be able to pay back in just five years!

This...... It's really a great book!!

Of course, this is still a little inferior to the no-capital business - coal and stone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"By the way, the coal thing...... Is it still going well? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hawking, who was still smiling just now, couldn't help but look pale and said with a wry smile.

"Coal and stone have been spread out in a large area near the Tiger Prison Trade Road, and because of its good quality and low price, it is widely liked by the people, but the rest of the land is ...... Progress has been slow. ”

"Oh? But why? ”

Zhao Zheng thought that the coal and stone were sold at half price and should be robbed madly, but unexpectedly, listening to what Hawking said, it seemed that the progress was not going very smoothly.

"Back to my king, although the coal and stone are sold at half the price of charcoal, the road is far away, and the transportation is inconvenient, from Hugao to Hanyang, and then to Qinchuan 72 counties, the transportation cost is different, and the price is not the same."

Hawking frowned slightly, and told the reasons one by one.

"Especially in remote mountainous areas, the transportation cost is extremely high, and the price of coal and stone is superimposed, making the price a little unbearable for ordinary people! As for sending it to other counties, before the official road was connected, the transportation cost was too high, and it was not involved at the moment, but it only covered most of the border of our Qin State......"

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

Although the mining cost of coal and stone is very low, it can naturally be sold at half the price of charcoal in the vicinity of the mine.

However, if it is shipped to other places, it must also add a certain amount of transportation costs.

The farther the road, the higher the cost, and the more difficult the road becomes, the higher the freight rate.

This is a very realistic reality, not what I imagined before, as long as the coal and stone are mined, it can be sold all over Kyushu!

In terms of the current traffic conditions, not to mention selling to the three countries, all over Kyushu, it is difficult to go abroad and get out of Qinchuan!

Once the transportation cost is too high, if the coal and stone are transported to other places, the price is about to force into charcoal, so why do others use coal and stone that they have never seen before, instead of charcoal, which they have long been accustomed to?

Therefore, if the business route is not smooth, the freight rate of coal and stone is too high, even if it is forcibly transported, it is difficult to open the market.

Not to mention competing with charcoal for the existing stock market, even if you want to win over the ordinary people who can't afford charcoal, it's almost impossible!

The people can't afford charcoal anymore, so can't they afford to buy some coal and stone at a similar price?

Therefore, it came and went, but in the end, it was still stuck in this official road connection!

If Qinchuan cannot be connected to the outside world's trade routes, then even if the internal trade routes of the Qin State are connected and extend in all directions, what is the use?

But if you want to get out of the Qin State, how can you cultivate this official way, and who should cultivate it?

Of course, Zhao Zhengzi could, like Tiger Prison Commerce, pay for the repair of the trade road by himself, and then set up a card to collect fees to try to recover the cost.

But you should know that the renovation of official roads and the opening of trade roads are completely two different concepts!

After opening up the trade road, the Tiger Prison Business Road, which has the advantage of geographical advantages, can naturally change the way to collect taxes, and in addition to taxes, you can also collect rent!

If all the shops in the city are rented out, this will naturally be a huge amount of income!

But to renovate the official road, not only is it hard work, the input cost is extremely huge, not to mention, the tax that can be collected in the end is even less pitiful!

After all, you're just an official road, and at most you're just charging some customs fees for passing through, otherwise what?

If you collect less, you will not be able to make ends meet, and the taxes you may collect will not be enough to invest in the interest cost of huge funds.

If you collect more, who will be willing to follow your official path?

What's more, the official road from Hanyang to Xijing is twisted and twisted, as far as thousands of miles, how can it be repaired in one or two years?

Even if Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and repaired it, it would be far from being able to solve the near fire!

What's more, this is a bottomless pit of loss-making business, and it is almost impossible to recover the cost, and it is also necessary to deal with more than ten counties along the way, how can it be so easy?

Therefore, when this problem was once again placed in front of Zhao Zheng, in addition to sighing, he really felt powerless......

"Ninth brother, why don't you follow what Brother Wei said...... You and I, Qin and Song Dynasty each contributed half, and renovated the official road for trade? ”

Zhao Qian sat aside, looking at the young ninth brother's face, the worried face was once again revealed, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to speak.

"In this way, at least the trade route from Liangzhou to Zezhou can be connected here!"

As soon as these words came out, Hawking's eyes lit up, but he looked at His Royal Highness King Song with an unbelievable face, never expecting that he would be so deeply righteous!

"Brother Huang, this matter is not so simple! Renovating official roads is not as good as opening up trade roads, and the amount of money spent is unimaginable! If it is really from you and me, even if the customs duties are charged to make up for it...... It's also destined to be a loss-making deal! ”

But Zhao Zheng just shook his head again and again and sighed.

"......"

Zhao Qian wanted to say more, but he saw that the ninth brother suddenly waved his hand and interrupted.

"Brother Huang, the way to govern the country is better for a long time! If everything is made up of the treasury of the private treasury of you and me, even if you and I are the kings of a country...... But how big of a hole can it be filled? ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand with difficulty, and said slowly.

"Such a willful act, but it is not the law of governing the country......"

……

"Hello audience friends! Welcome to the "Hundred Schools", I am your old friend - Yi Shangtian!

Today, what we want to talk about is our legendary Emperor of the Ages-Qianshi Huang!

Friends who are familiar with history may know that before the first emperor Zhao Zheng unified Kyushu, he was named the king of Qin, and the fief ...... At that time, the border county of the Daqian Dynasty - Qinchuan County!

Qinchuan County is a border county, so everyone can naturally imagine its poverty and barrenness.

It stands to reason that if ordinary people are sealed in this kind of place, most of them are self-defeating and get by!

But our Qianshi Huang, since he can become the first emperor of the ages, how can he be comparable to ordinary people?

Although he was sealed in this kind of impoverished border county, not only did he not complain about it and degenerate himself, but worked hard and worked hard to develop the Qin State from a small border county to the most powerful county in Kyushu at that time, and there was no one!

Then everyone may have to ask, what means did the First Emperor of Qian use to make the Qin State so quickly strong?

Of course, this question can be complicated, but today, we will only take a small part of the reasons and analyze and discuss them.

What we are going to talk about today is one of the roots of the prosperity of the Qin State - Daxing Commerce!

In order to promote commerce and trade, the first emperor not only opened up the Tiger Prison trade road, making the Qin State become a trade hub in Kyushu, but also personally wrote the inscription for the Huaxia Trade City at that time!

This is a famous saying of business that we are very familiar with today and is frequently quoted by a godfather of entrepreneurship in China!

——Let there be no difficult business in the world!

Therefore, we say that the reason why Emperor Qianshi Huang was able to unify Kyushu was that in addition to his superb political wisdom, his extremely advanced business ideas could not be ignored at all......
