With this attitude, Zhu Gaochi knew what was going on, and asked his younger brother thoughtfully, "What about the second brother?" I thought my second brother would come with you. ”

"The second brother is now the only fourth brother's horse, the fourth brother has made such a big scene, can the second brother not go to the scene?" Zhu Gaosui seemed to glance at the eldest brother helplessly, with a look of shame in his eyes.

This big scene was actually made by Xia Yuanji, after he heard that Zhu Gaoxian's science and technology is the primary productive force, he also wanted to try the efficiency of tractor farming, but he actually didn't call for it, but it was just passed from person to person, and the curious people came to see the excitement.

Zhu Gaochi knew that the third brother came to pick him up, and it was not his father's order that he was given, this brotherhood moved him very much, and patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder, "The third brother takes me as the eldest brother to heart, and the eldest brother will not treat you badly!" ”

Since you have chosen to go with me, I will naturally not treat you badly in the future.

"It was supposed to be a little brother!" Zhu Gaosui breathed a sigh of relief, everyone is not stupid, that's good!

On Zhang's side, the Zhang family sent his brother Zhang Xu to greet him, and after Zhang Xu and Zhu Gaochi brothers met the ceremony, they followed his sister's palanquin and told him some things in the capital concisely, and asked, "Sister, I heard that the fourth prince wants to sell a kind of textile machine, which integrates spinning thread and weaving, which is much faster than the current machine, do you say we should buy some too?" ”

"Buy, of course!"

It is not unreasonable that Zhang can be called a "heroine" in history. Think about it, if she doesn't have a little ability, how can she do it in the middle of the Hong Xi Dynasty and internal and external political affairs?

She is not from a famous family, her father Zhang Qi is just a father and daughter, Hongwu for 20 years, his daughter is the concubine of the Yan family, he was awarded the deputy commander of the army and horses, and only took the idle position of Yu Lu; Later, Zhu Gaochi was named the crown prince, Zhang Qi was promoted to the commander of the Jingwei, and after that, in the ninth year of Yongle, he died and was posthumously named Peng Chengbo.

raised a good daughter, which can be described as life and death.

Zhang's thought of the vigorous textile in Beijing, and on her way south, the high-quality and inexpensive cloth in Beijing was pulled out one by one, which really made Zhu Gaoxian make a lot of money, and couldn't help but be hot, "Buy, how not to buy!" ”

Zhang Xu knew that his sister was very discerning, so he naturally obeyed, and hesitated, "It's too expensive, I heard that it costs 2,000 taels of silver to sell it to the household, and it costs 2,500 taels of silver to sell it to the outside."

Zhang knew what Zhang Xu's main purpose was for telling her, and she pondered for a moment, "I just came back, you let me go back and ask the fourth uncle." ”

Zhu Gaoxian temporarily let the ten students he brought down the workshop, he didn't want to open a textile workshop, and a sewing workshop, and compete with the people for profit, Zhu Gaoxian disdained to do it, he wanted to do it as a manufacturing workshop, specializing in the production of textile machines and sewing machines to sell.

Xia Yuanji wanted to open a textile workshop and a garment shop at the beginning, but when he heard Zhu Gaoxian say this, he understood, when he changed his mind and discussed with Zhu Gaoxian, "The fourth prince, how about the household department into a single stock?" ”

"It's not impossible, but, Lao Xia, what does the household department take as a shareholder?" Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "The ministry can run away from the treasury, if you want money or not, if you want no people, and you want to be a shareholder, is it possible that if you don't want the household department, you can rely on your two shoulders to open your mouth to buy shares?" ”

Xia Yuanji is very persistent, he has been pestering Zhu Gaoxian for so long, to put it bluntly, he wants to make a fortune with Zhu Gaoxian, so that the treasury of the household department can be filled a little, he said modestly, "The four princes, you say, what conditions do you want the household department to become a shareholder?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian took the tea presented by Xia Yuan Jiba, "Old Xia, you forgot, I told you about the industrial and commercial tax, I opened a workshop, just like the shops on the street, it is taxable." ”

Xia Yuanji's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed his hand to Zhu Gaoxian, "Thank you for the advice of the fourth prince!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when Zhu Gaoxian grabbed him, "Wait, how are you going to collect taxes?" How much tax is collected? ”

At present, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty includes three kinds of municipal tax, customs duty and foreign tax, and the tariff, also known as the "pass tax", refers to the establishment of customs cards on the main traffic routes of merchants and the collection of pass taxes; At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the city tax was basically levied according to the principle of taking one out of thirty and "no tax for those who do not waste anything in the city"; At this time, there was no foreign tax at all, and it was not until the Longqing period that the sea was banned, and the foreign tax system was implemented.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxian asked, Xia Yuanji woke up and said respectfully, "Please teach the fourth prince!" ”

"Teach me a fart, how can I know everything, let me tell you something, there are several subjects of industrial and commercial taxation, one is value-added tax, one is consumption tax, one is business tax, one is foreign tax, although the fourth one is not at the moment, but you remember it for me, everything that is sold, what is bought, you have to charge high taxes, don't always stare at the little money in the pockets of the poor, in the future, you will keep an eye on the rich to collect taxes."

"For example, if I sell the textile machine to those rich people, at this time, you want to collect taxes from me, and you say that you will collect 20 percent, okay, I know, I will put the 20 percent tax you want into my selling price, and I willingly give it to you, are you very happy to accept it?"

"I'll teach you a trick, you have no food in the treasury, you can even convert this tax into grain, and the price of grain will be at parity. Of course, if any of your subordinates colludes with our officials and businessmen to evade taxes, then it will be a different matter. ”

Xia Yuanji listened very carefully, this is really a good means, forgive him, poverty does limit his imagination.

"Then, the fourth prince, how to avoid tax evasion?"

"Audit!" Zhu Gaoxian leaned into his ear and whispered, "Check the accounts, check the accounts with clever means, how is a person's business, whether there is tax evasion, you can always find clues, it depends on how you check!" ”

"Fourth Prince, how many days will it take for your manufacturing workshop to be built? Help you build! ”

Xia Yuanji suddenly found that a new world opened an open door to him, he had no need for the four princes to stammer, in this world, as long as the door is open to do business, it can be said that the household department will account for a certain share, or drought and flood to ensure income.

Who is he afraid of?

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, this old Xia is a talent!

Go on the road!

He patted Xia Yuanji on the shoulder, "Lao Xia, I will also tell you a trick, the way to collect money is not for the poor, do you want to make money for science and technology?" ”

"Yes!"

Xia Yuanji's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, in front of Zhu Gaoxian, he became more and more like a horn dog, but he licked it when he had bones, turned his face and didn't recognize people when he didn't have bones, and bit when he opened his mouth.

"In the future, there will be more and more fame in this science and technology, you have to think of money, you go to the criminal department, let them legislate, where there are new inventions, utility model creations, and some unique ......"
