In 1859, Li Taitai, the British tax superintendent of the Jiangxi Customs, was appointed as the General Taxation Department, responsible for recruiting foreigners to serve as the Taxation Department at various ports, and from then on, the Foreign Taxation Department became a system to manage the Chinese Customs. From 1861 onwards, the Englishman Hurd, deputy director of the Department of Taxation in Guangzhou, served as the chief tax secretary (initially as an agent) and had been in charge of the Chinese customs for nearly half a century.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the customs administration and taxation were collected, and the custody of the taxes was controlled by the customs superintendent appointed by the Qing government. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the General Department of Taxation, together with the diplomatic corps in Beijing, deposited customs taxes into the accounts of the General Taxation Department of the three foreign banks: HSBC, Dehua and Daosheng. Since then, the custody of tax revenues has also fallen into the hands of foreigners, and the Chinese government has no right to use even the remaining surplus of debt repayment and compensation.

By grasping a country's customs, it is possible to plunder a large amount of its country's wealth, and even arbitrarily adjust the tax rate to benefit its country's economy and trade into a country where customs rights have been deprived.

It's important, it's really important, since it's such an important government agency, how can it not be established? How could it be possible to let countless money and silks flow out of the land of China wantonly.

No, it is absolutely not allowed, as a member of the outstanding Chinese nation, how can the outstanding and enthusiastic young people of the Chinese nation, who have gone through countless hardships and finally stood up in the 21 st century, forget such a big problem?

When I thought of the tariffs that were underpaid by the glass products sold by Ben Gongzi's glass company, Ben Gongzi's heart was simply dripping blood.

When Fang Xuanling and other important ministers heard that Ben Gongzi put the facts in front of them, reasoned, and made an estimate of the current international trade in Chang'an, all the civil and military ministers had green eyes and were hungry for more than ten days, and then saw a hungry dog with a fragrant meat and bone in the glass counter in front of him, greedy and angry, why didn't he think that it turned out that there was a large amount of money that should belong to us.

"For example, the tariff on glass products is 20 percent, then, if one million glass products leave the country, the customs should collect 200,000 yuan of silk, and for example, the tariff on silk products is 17 percent, and similarly, for one million pieces of silk, the customs should collect 170,000 yuan of silk from the merchant before the goods leave the country...... This year alone, the total trade volume of Chang'an West City is about 25 million guan, and of which, the value of goods transported abroad is at least 20 million guan, according to the average customs tax rate of 10 percent, import tariffs plus export tariffs then we have collected at least 2 million guan less tax. "My son spat and flapped the whip in his hand against the chart I had drawn overnight.

You can see shocking numbers on it, as well as various detailed data, Fang Xuanling heard this number, and his mouth trembled with distress. It's like Grande saw two wicks in the lampstand in front of him.

"Collect, you have to collect, grandma, our military budget this year is only about two million yuan, just this moment, our Chinese Rejuvenation Army has eaten and chewed all the food." Cheng Yanjin jumped up first, and said murderously, looking like a thug who went down the mountain to rob.

However, Ma Zhou, the new superintendent under the command of this prince, frowned: "Lord, if this is the case, will it make those exotic traders stop buying our merchants because of this, or will they reduce their purchases?" ”

"Ma Zhou, you have traveled all the way from Shandong, have you ever seen a card on the road to collect money?" Ben Gongzi looked at Ma Zhou with a smile and asked, this guy is a famous minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and now, it is precisely because of Ben Gongzi's meat and vegetarian food that all talents are exceptionally promoted, and finally this goods have been brought over from Shandong ****.

He is a native of Shandong, his parents died when he was young, and he was lonely, but he was very studious, and through unremitting efforts, he read a lot of history books, coupled with his talent, he was already full of wealth at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

When he was young and vigorous, he hoped to find a suitable lord to show his talents, and this son happened to be in his eyes.

This son is also at the age of a teenager, in Hancheng to raise troops, and then, take Yan'an in the north, set Guanzhong in the south, and then, the entire Guanzhong is well governed, the people live in peace in the east, all industries are prosperous, there is no trace of the appearance of the war, more importantly, the official gentry put forward by the prince to pay the grain together, and the scholar doctor to rule the world together, so that Ma Zhou has the urge to come to Guanzhong to have a look, but also want to see what kind of person this son is.

After coming all the way, he lived for nearly three months, and then decided to become an official here, and he was quickly discovered by Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Personnel, and recommended to me, I have to say that Fang Xuanling has become the most indispensable minister under my son.

It's the most managed.,But even when he's so busy that he only trots to go to the toilet.,But he still pays attention to discovering talents.,This son really doesn't know how to praise him.。 It's a pity that there are still too few talents under my son's hands now, otherwise I really don't want him to take on so many positions, and I hope that this guy can put all his energy on the work of the personnel department and continue to dig out useful talents for my son.

Ma Zhou is a little paranoid and a little stubborn, but it is undeniable that his talent is really good, and he is good at doing things.

"This ......" Ma Zhou nodded after thinking about it and replied: "Not only that, but there are many of them, some people's territory is on top of each county, and even every other county will have a checkpoint, no matter what you do, you have to collect money." ”

"And I have it under the rule of the Huaxia Reconstruction Army?" Fang Xuanling also came back to his senses now, and then asked with a smile.

Ma Zhou suddenly replied: "No, not only under the rule of the lord, but even if it is the lord and the princes, it has nothing to do with the border...... I see, it seems that the minister wants to be bad. Indeed, under the rule of the lord, there was no arbitrary establishment of checkpoints in all counties and counties, and even if the highest tariff was calculated at 20%, it was far lower than the excesses and miscellaneous taxes in the land of the princes. ”

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that among the many princes, the three who are more benevolent to the people, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and Xiao Miao, these three are also related to the card, and there are officials who buy road money there, especially the traders from other places, who collect more ruthlessly.

It's just that they didn't get any injuries, after all, they also knew very well that if there were no vendors, their territory would definitely not be stable. As for people like Liu Wuzhou or Xue Ju, unless they have paid a lot of money, or they are traders under their own hands, otherwise, businessmen from other places are waiting to be scraped.

And on my territory, whether it is Guanzhong or Yan'an, a commodity is only taxed once, which is also the reason why in the past six months, Chang'an and Guanzhong have more and more businessmen, not from the businessmen simply moved their families to Chang'an or Guanzhong, because the taxes here are much lower than other places, and officials and officials do not dare to extort merchants, as long as they are found, not only must they return all the dirty money, but also have to be suspended and awakened, if they commit it again, they will be laid off directly.

That's right, the word laid-off has been recorded on the official code, which is densely packed with dozens of rules that stipulate that officials can't do it, once there is a violation, the first time is suspended for two months as a warning, and the second time is directly laid off.

This is the reason why there is a kind of prosperity in the current pass that is even more prosperous than during the great cause of the emperor. Now, if the Western Regions Passage falls into my hands, I believe that the merchants of the Western Regions will definitely flock to it.

At that time, Ben Gongzi will demand that all customs duties, especially those of the Western Barbarian traders, be exported, so that silk cloth is not allowed, but can only be paid with copper coins or copper ingots.

In my memory, the land of China is a copper-poor country, but the surrounding countries are different, especially in Central Asia, there are all minerals, and many of them are rich minerals, especially precious metals such as gold and copper, as for silver, the place where this thing can really be produced is the Americas.

There are also a lot of them in China, but the distribution is too scattered, although the mining amount is not small, but mostly in Yunnan, Guangdong, Gansu or Northeast China.

Think about the United States in later generations, stubbornly clinging to the oil fields in several regions of the country not to develop, most of them are purchased, that is, I hope to mine at a critical time, or after the shortage of oil, at that time, the whole world is short of oil, and they can still continue to be big oil tigers.

For example, during the Great Voyage Period, the most powerful thing that the Western Barbarians looted from all over the world was heavy metals, which were directly mined and smelted locally before being transferred back to China. I think that at the beginning, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and England, the western barbarian countries, became rich by plunder.

And China is lacking, lack of gold, lack of silver, lack of copper, lack of iron, in a word, but all metals, the land of China is scarce, should be brought in from the opening, save the surrounding countries to use our currency, think of this son on the belly, since you use the Chinese characters created and invented by my Chinese nation, the currency used is also the copper money of my Chinese nation, that Mao also wants to stand on his own.

Typical goods that want to be cleaned up, well, wait for this son to dominate the world first, and then come to a good account with these countries that dare to write and use my Han family and copper coins. Uh, where did you say before?

Well, let's talk about the issue of taxation, and after intense discussions, the tariff issue has finally settled on the principle that the import and export tariffs on luxury goods are between 20 and 15 percent, while the tariffs on other ordinary goods are only between 1 and 5 percent.

In this way, it is conducive to the circulation of ordinary goods, and in the same way, although the tariffs on luxury goods are much higher than those of ordinary goods, the buyers they target are originally either rich or expensive, and these guys really can't get that two money.
