Chapter 1288: Leshi Lezao
,!
Whether this policy has ever appeared in the history of the homeland, someone has not done a detailed study. But relying on a certain game company, the most well-known policy publisher is Oda Nobunaga.
The first person to issue this policy during the Warring States period was actually an old rival of the Oda family, the Imagawa family. Of course, the content is slightly different. And carefully study the two families who love and kill each other, many of the policies of the Oda family are learned from the Imagawa family, and then changed by magic. It can be regarded as an example of blue out of blue and better than blue.
The word 'le' stands for liberalization, 'city' is the market, and 'za' is the concession or monopoly right. To put it simply, the city is the market, a designated place where people can set up stalls to sell goods, and the seat is a merchants' guild, which can also be regarded as a store more narrowly.
For the business of the lost land, as well as the history of China and foreign countries, the commercial tax before modern times mainly comes from three aspects. The first is the local checkpoints, which charge tolls. It is a fee for people to pass, and if there is a goods to pass, a fee will be charged depending on the content of the goods.
The second is the permission to join the merchant guild or open a shop, and to obtain this permission, of course, a sum of money must be given to the guild or noble lord. In some cases, you have to pay it every year.
The third is the permit fee for entering the designated market location and setting up a stall. This fee will be much smaller than the second item, and in some places there will be a sub-charge. In modern times, there are also so-called management fees, cleaning fees, etc., which may be collected by the management committee of the market, or it may be that the local ruffians want to dig up a sum of money from the small vendors.
As for the tax on profits from trading transactions, even in the modern age of the earth, there are accountants who can play all kinds of tricks from it, so that the government can pay less than half a dime. In the ancient times of my hometown or in a place where the accounting system was not developed and the regulatory system was not perfect, if you wanted to collect this kind of tax, there were only three words to say, 'impossible'.
Leshi Lezuo is a policy that does not charge the above fees, allows businessmen to develop savagely, and drives the prosperity of a place.
The biggest beneficiaries of such policies are not those merchants who can afford to pay the fees in the first place. Rather, some farmers, women, and landless displaced people can use their spare time for extra labor, or rely on their own crafts to earn income.
For the former, the benefit of this policy is only to progress from one hundred to one hundred and ten, and possibly to two hundred. But whether they make progress or not, they always have a hundred foundations.
But for the latter, the policy benefit of Leshi Lezuo is that it can make their profits improve from zero to one. From nothing to something!
After all, if you want to buy and sell before, there is such a threshold as a market fee or seat fee. People who don't have capital can't cross that threshold, and of course they can't do business.
But after opening up, there is no threshold, and anyone can come to sell things, which will of course stimulate many people who do not have rich capital to come out and do business. Or some people who have a main business, earn some extra money in their spare time.
And when these people have money in their pockets, most of them will spend it again. Then the money begins to flow, and the economy begins to circulate.
To put it simply, this is a way to expand the business pie and expand the overall economic aggregate.
But don't think that the lord who promulgated this kind of policy is the one who has a lot of money and is stupid. No one is really stupid. In addition to the three types of 'commercial taxes' that are fixed above, there is also a temporary tax.
Also take Oda Nobunaga as an example. One of the most famous historical cases is that in order to welcome the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki into Beijing, he ordered Sakai to donate 20,000 kan. The Sakai Port merchants did not obey and opposed the Oda family, which in a way pushed the next Honganji Temple to a certain extent.
Examples like this have emerged in countless places where the tax system is not clear, whether it is the Lost Land or the Ancient Earth. As long as the liege was ready to fight, they would collect a special wave of taxes from the merchants in the domain; If the leader implements a policy that requires money, and there is no money on hand, they may also carry out special levies.
In other words, the greatest significance of the policy of 'Leshi Leza' to the lord is to expand his sheepfold and wait for a wave or a few waves of wool on an auspicious day.
The disadvantage of this policy, however, is that it is difficult to predict the amount of tax that can be collected for special levies. If a fixed amount is required and set too much, it may make the businessmen turn their faces; If the lord is weak, he may not receive much tax.
There is no rule on how often it can be levied, and it all depends on whether the profits of the merchants can afford to be so demanded by the lord. If they are ruthless, the merchants will have no profit to make, and they may run away. Even the reputation of the lord stinks, and after that, he can't recruit other merchants.
Therefore, the main leader is not strong enough, and the implementation of this policy is similar to cutting meat to people. In the history of the Warring States of Japan, only two people dared to play like this. For most lords, it was easier to collect their merchant taxes using the traditional method.
But if the balance between these is right, the 'Le Shi Leza' is indeed a good policy that can gain a good reputation and fill the lord's purse from time to time. After all, the threshold is waived, so that the poor people at the bottom have an additional way to earn.
Whether or not they can turn around with this, it's inevitable to praise the people who issued the policy. As a lord, you have gained face and lining.
Back to the situation in the Kingdom of Huelva. The opening of the first bank in the Southwest Peninsula has the potential to attract a wave of popularity to the kingdom. However, people go to higher places, water flows to lower places, and the current situation in the southwest peninsula is the dynamic equilibrium of the general environment.
Suddenly having an extra bank is like an extra reef in the current. Although it will temporarily change the path of the water, it will not change the direction of the water. If the Kingdom of Huelva is unable to use the banks to expand its influence, the situation in the Southwest Peninsula will eventually return to its original state.
To put it more bluntly, the bank may attract some large chambers of commerce to the kingdom for a short time, and it will also attract a vote of more money-hungry magicians. But once the banks are built all over the Lost Land, these organizations and individuals will shift their focus back to the places they know best, such as the city where the four districts are headquartered, rather than continuing to focus on the Kingdom of Huelva.
Hahn IV had to find a way to keep them willing to stay while they were attracted to the bank. Of course, if you can attract more people to the Kingdom of Velva and settle down, it will be a great thing.
The policy of Leshi Leza can attract a group of people to join the Kingdom of Velva. Or at the very least, they would be willing to come to the kingdom's Libreville field on a regular basis to trade and buy.
And once these individual businesses that were hidden or scattered in the past are concentrated, it is easy to attract the chamber of commerce to co-opt them, or these people form their own chambers of commerce. Regardless of the form, other chambers of commerce naturally produce a clustering effect in order to communicate with each other.
At this time, if you add the influence of the bank, then some of the people who are attracted to it should like or get used to the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Huelva, and then choose to stay. Such a number of people does not need to be large, even if it is only one percent, these extra populations are a leap in strength for the kingdom.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin said to the king who was not ashamed to ask. Among them, no one interjected surprisingly. In the end, Lin talked about the conclusion:
In doing so, there were more capable people in the kingdom, and money followed. Under the magnetic effect, the Kingdom of Velva can usher in a good time for a virtuous cycle of development. However, whether or not you can maintain such an advantage and let the kingdom continue to be strong must depend on your majesty's efforts. My idea is at most to make a start, and the subsequent adjustment and maintenance still depends on the ability of the ruler, that is, your majesty's skill. There's no way I'm going to stay and help out or anything, because I've got other things to do. ”
Someone speaks first and steps on the head of the conversation, so as not to be inexplicably lost to the title of the minister of the music market, and has to stay and work hard.
However, when it comes to someone with a dry mouth, he picks up the wine glass on the table and fills several glasses of low-alcohol wine in a row, without waiting for anyone else to react. He looked at the stunned crowd and had to say again, "Is there a problem with what I just said?" If there is a question, ask it directly, and everyone will discuss it. But if I had to think of something else, it would be great if I could come up with one of them for a while, and it would be difficult for me to think of a second one. ”
Cough lightly to break the awkward coldness. Queen Catherine raised her glass, gestured for a toast, and said, "Don't blame your Excellency, I think they were surprised by your thoughts, so they were speechless. ”
Lin returned a salute. After drinking this sip of wine, the atmosphere of everyone seemed to come to life, instead of the frozen appearance before. Juan even touched someone's head with his hands and feet, and said, "How long is your head, to come up with such an idea." I didn't find out you had this kind of ability before. ”
"Come less." Waving Juan's outstretched hand, Lin added a few more glasses of wine to himself. I didn't notice it before, although the wine of the Kingdom of Huelva is not high, but it tastes very good. It seems that when you leave, you have to take a few more as a consultant fee.
Seeing that the king was still thinking about something, he did not say a word. In this kind of private, similar to a family banquet, Queen Catherine did not have to fear the infamy of being a politician, so she asked directly: "Your Excellency, as mentioned in your explanation just now, a monarch who is not strong enough is not suitable for such a strategy. Do you think the kingdom will be able to pursue such a policy and gain enough from it? ”
When asked about the point, Lin couldn't help but admire Juan's mother, this vision is really accurate. As I said before, it's just a painted pie at best. The queen's question was how to make the bread real and eat it.
This question not only made someone look up to the queen, but the king, the crown prince, Juan and others also looked at a certain magician, expecting to be able to say something special in his mouth.
