"Ahem!" Gou Shaoqun coughed and motioned for everyone to look at him.

"You know?" Tang Ping was also a little curious, I didn't hear that the dog had this ability.

"Brother Ping, don't you underestimate people?" Gou Shaoqun said proudly: "You also know that our hometown is from Yunnan, and our Gou family made a fortune, starting from my grandfather's generation to open a cigarette factory." ”

"So this cigarette factory is the foundation of our Gou family, do you think I don't understand?"

Tang Ping knew that although Gou Shaoqun was usually not in tune, he still wouldn't joke about such things.

Yunnan alone accounts for 40% of the country's tobacco production, and the best tobacco is basically produced in Yunnan.

Yunnan used to be full of large and small cigarette factories, and since Gou Shaoqun said he knew, he should really know.

"And you've got to buy the seeds? And the training for them or something, left it to you? ”

"No problem!" Gou Shaoqun patted his chest and agreed: "Then I can be regarded as a technology shareholder, right?" So what will our company be called in the future? ”

Tang Ping said jokingly: "Why don't I go to my second uncle to apply, it's called Datang Tobacco, how about registering a small and micro enterprise?" ”

"Reliable!" Gou Shaoqun gave Tang Ping a thumbs up: "In this case, do we have to go on a business trip to Yunnan?" ”

Tang Ping looked at Yang Jin Ram, who said with a smile: "Ping Guogong and Gou Gongzi are willing to go, and our daughter country will definitely be greeted by the couch." ”

Tang Ping thought about it, anyway, now that the Tang Festival is over, there is nothing to do for the time being.

And this matter is over, maybe Li Shimin and his family will come to find something for themselves, so it is better to hide in Yunnan!

So he nodded and agreed, "Then let's go together." ”

It's just that Tang Ping doesn't want to find trouble, but things always have to find him.

The next day he was summoned to the Hall of Virtue.

After entering, Li Shimin said to him with a smile: "This grand ceremony is quite good, I don't know what you want?" ”

Tang Ping then told Li Shimin what he had said to Gou Shaoqun last night.

Li Shimin still has some understanding of cigarettes, because they are sold in Tang Ping's convenience store.

He tried it and didn't like the taste very much, but his subordinates Wei Chigong and Niu Jinda tried to smoke a few packs and completely became old smokers.

A lot of the money every month is used to buy cigarettes at Tangping's convenience store.

He has no opinion on what Tang Ping said about opening a cigarette factory, after all, Tang Ping is the person who pays the most taxes in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the more he earns, the more taxes he pays.

Who knew that Tang Ping then said: "But the tax on this cigarette can't be the same as the ordinary commercial tax." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You will also bargain with your second uncle?" Okay, okay, this is also an emerging industry, and the tax rate is the lowest level for you, okay? ”

Tang Ping knew that Li Shimin had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, they all say that you have no jokes, why don't you listen to my tax rate before deciding?" ”

"Well, tell me, what percentage of the tax should be set at what percent?"

"For now, let's set it at 60% for the time being." Tang Ping estimated and said.

As far as he knows, in modern China, the tax rate for Class A cigarettes is 56 percent, there is also a 17 percent value-added tax, and there is a fixed tax of a few cents per cigarette in the production and wholesale process.

So in fact, the cigarette tax in modern China is as high as more than 70% or even 80%.

Such a high tax rate is partly a financial necessity and on the other hand, it is to allow young people who do not have much money to buy less cigarettes.

"How much do you say?" Hearing Tang Ping say 60%, Li Shimin's eyes widened, did he drink two more glasses after the grand ceremony last night, and the wine has not woken up yet?

Otherwise, how could I hear Tang Ping say that he would have to pay 60% of the tax.

What is the concept of a 60% tax? If an emperor dares to set such a high tax rate, then a title of rampant expropriation must be welded to death.

Datang does not have more than 30% of the tax on various luxury goods such as perfume

The second uncle heard it right, it was 60%. Tang Ping looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Second uncle, do you know how much tax is paid for cigarettes a year on our side?" ”

Tang Ping asked this, Li Shimin knew that it was definitely not simple, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that it can exceed 10 billion a year?" ”

"Ten billion?" Tang Ping shook his head: "The pattern is small, second uncle!" ”

"Five tens of billions?" Li Shimin guessed again.

"It's still a small pattern!" Tang Ping shook his head again.

"Stinky boy, did you get me a tone?" Li Shimin was angry: "Hurry up and be honest." ”

"Our currency over there is a trillion taxes, and it is more than 140 billion yuan in Datang currency!"

"What?" Li Shimin almost rushed over and grabbed Tang Ping's collar.

Datang has a tax revenue of more than 140 billion yuan, and Datang does not have so much tax revenue in a year now, no, Datang's annual tax revenue is now equivalent to more than 6 billion Datang coins a year.

The 140 billion tax revenue Tang Ping said is equivalent to the tax revenue of Datang for more than 20 years.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Tang Ping persuaded: "Doesn't this also have something to do with our purchasing power and population?" I'm just telling you about the potential of this thing. ”

Li Shimin turned the globe to the European piece: "If you plan to sell it here, how many people are there in their piece now?" ”

"It should only be 20 million to 30 million now." During this period, there was no one quasi-population figure for Europe, only an approximate estimate.

"It's just because of the wars between their countries and other reasons, and if we can unify the place, and if we have a policy to encourage childbirth, we can double the population in two or three decades."

A stable social environment will inevitably bring about rapid population growth, especially in this era when population is also an important resource.

According to the statistics of the Tang Dynasty, in the years after Tang Ping came, there was no war in the country because of the abundant food.

The number of new students in Datang has increased by 30 million, and if he does not look at the previous growth rate, it can only increase by 10 million at most.

Therefore, it can be said that because of the arrival of Tang Ping, the Tang Dynasty in this time and space has increased its population by 20 million in a few years, and this number will get faster and faster.

"Then let the military department make a plan as soon as possible!" Li Shimin touched the globe and said.

Although Datang is developing rapidly, his sideburns have also begun to appear gray, and he only feels that time is getting more and more insufficient.

Then he looked at Tang Ping again and said, "It just so happens that you are going to your daughter's country, and you will help me do something by the way, right?" ”

Tang Ping only felt that it was not good, and asked, "Can I say no?" ”

"Can't! Pingguo Gong received the order! ”
