Chapter 150 Commercial Tax: Book of Commodity Transactions

Inside the propaganda compound.

All of a sudden, everyone changed.

Become obsessed.

Reading a book.

This is different from the many propagandists who looked up the dictionary before.

In the Book of Rites, all the words are easy to understand, and they all know the meaning of these words.

But when you put it together, it's amazing.

It was as if a book of heavenly rites had descended on the earth, and everyone longed to read its contents.

Some people can't help but marvel.

I have never seen a book that has been so clearly articulated in this way.

The road of panic is self-evident.

Everyone is deeply involved in the content of the Book of Rites.

The Book of Rites is opening the door to a 'rite' for everyone.

All are absorbing the vastness of the Book of Rites.

However.

For Yingcheng.

From different standpoints, the way of considering the problem is naturally different.

It was a scene he had long anticipated.

Even if some of them questioned it, it didn't matter.

Etiquette is the criterion of morality.

However, propagating etiquette requires a medium, and the propagandists of this propaganda compound are this medium.

If you call it an 'opera' to go to the countryside!

Then the Propaganda Department can be called a 'knowledge youth' to go to the countryside!

Originally, among his plans, he would eliminate the leaders of Confucianism and implement the 'Spark Plan', and as for the books of rites and new laws, they would be directly distributed to the propagandists who 'went to the countryside' and let them read them on the road.

But Li Si asked him to spare three days, and there was no way, so he could only slow it down a little longer.

The bomb he had already dropped in.

As for what kind of wave it will set off, it is not something he can control.

Leave the propaganda compound.

Yingcheng inspected the super workshop as usual.

The Super Workshop is at the heart of the implementation of the new law, just as the propagandists in the propaganda compound are fascinated by reading.

Books in this era are still too precious.

If you want to change this structure, you must have a sufficient amount of books to support it.

There was no big problem, and Yingcheng returned to the Great Law Mansion.

Today, the Dajufu is not only a place for legislation, but also a place for supervising the state and handling government decrees.

As a result, Yingcheng has not yet stepped into the gate of the Great Law Mansion.

He was blocked at the door by Shi Teng, the director of the Su Nei Shi Fu Order, the commercial secretary Zheng Bachen, and the agricultural secretary Zheng Tianzhen.

"Shi Teng, Ba Chen, and Tian Zhen meet the prison country!"

Looking at the three of them who pinched the time so accurately, Yingcheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, go in and talk!" ”

With that, Yingcheng walked into the Dalu Mansion from the main gate.

There were not many officials in service at this time.

The Qin law has undergone the last revision, and it is the book that has been completed, and no changes will be made.

All the personnel of the various government offices who were originally transferred were also repatriated.

The main task of these people now is to let the central officials know about the new Qin law first.

In the Da Lu Mansion, only some of the officials were retained to deal with daily matters.

Li Zhan, who was doing nothing, was bored reading, and when he saw Yingcheng appear, he hurriedly got up and bowed: "Li Zhan is here to see the prison country." ”

At this time, Li Zhan no longer has the arrogance of the past.

After three months of legislative experience, Li Zhan seems to have washed away the lead, and he has a little more composure and stability, and he is more majestic.

"Well, you've worked hard lately, go back and rest for a few days, the real battle has just begun for the Dalu Mansion!" Yingcheng nodded and walked into the nave.

The nave was the place of deliberation.

Before Yingcheng's ass could sit firmly, Nei Shi Teng took the lead and said: "The Great Law Order, this is the detailed rules for the sale of paper, and please take a look at the Great Law Order." ”

said.

Nesten pulled out a fold from his cuffs.

The origami is a crusty origami and is very lightweight.

The application of paper has not yet been popularized to the world, but in the past three months, in the Xianyang government offices, the application of patterns has begun.

And this crusty origami is one of them.

Yingcheng stretched out his hand, and Nesten took a few steps forward and handed the fold in his hand.

Yingcheng opened it and glanced at it seriously.

I kind of understood Neysten's plan for paper sales.

In particular, this is marked with Li Si's opinion and Feng Quji's opinion.

Lees's opinion coincides with his.

The purpose of paper is not the same as that of the Propaganda Division, the Grand Musical Division.

The paper is to make Xianyang a holy place of literature in the world, attracting countless literati and bachelors.

Cutting off the Jixia School Palace and destroying the collection of books in the Six Nations are all carried out with such a purpose.

For the world's knowledge, the poor world and the noble Xianyang!

"No problem, it's set for the beginning of the morning in three days, and I'll be there in person."

Yingcheng said, stamped his own seal on the fold, and approved the word 'quasi' in vermilion.

So.

It was agreed to the paper sales policy presided over by Nesten!

If there is no seal and quasi-character, even if Feng Quji and Li Si agree, it is useless.

Who made him a prisoner now!

"The subordinate obeys!" Nesten said excitedly in his heart, and stepped forward to take the review of the recital.

With this twist, he can justifiably carry out the strategy of selling paper.

The sale of paper is considered by him to be a cash cow for the treasury.

"The Great Law decrees, how to collect this commercial tax, and the transaction of large goods can also be measured, but this small transaction of goods, the number of transactions is frequent, and the specific amount and profit cannot be calculated."

"There is another thing, Xia Guan has also talked to a few businessmen in the past few days, and they all have an ambiguous attitude towards attracting investment, as if they don't believe it too much, for fear that the court will talk and not count."

As soon as Ne Shi Teng finished speaking, Ba Chen complained with a sad face.

The Commercial Division has established four divisions.

Commercial Department, Business Planning Department, Business Regulation Department, Commercial Tax Department.

The Commercial Department is very easy to operate, just like this time to mobilize business travelers from all over the world to come to Xianyang for paper sales.

An edict was issued by the imperial court, no matter where it was, it was necessary to come to Xianyang.

This is not difficult to operate, this is what the imperial court did in the past, it is familiar with the road, and the merchants are also very obedient.

The Commercial Standards Agency is still in the preparatory stage, and there is no rush to do this, and it needs to be done after the full implementation of the Commercial Law and the Book of Rites.

The headache for him was the Business Planning Department.

The main task of the Business Planning Department is to prohibit private business, reduce the number of government and business, and increase the number of semi-government and businessmen by 50%.

Sounds simple.

Previously, private businessmen and government and businessmen were prevalent, and the number of officials and businessmen was liberalized, and naturally most officials and businessmen refused to accept it.

But if you want these officials and businessmen to carry out layout and construction according to the wishes of the imperial court, it will be difficult, especially for investment promotion, one by one, they are afraid of being cheated and don't want to do it, and it is impossible for him to directly use the Commercial Office to order.

And those private businessmen are even worse, all kinds of private businessmen in Xianyang alone, it is very difficult to want semi-official businessmen.

This is still secondary.

The issue of commercial taxes is the more troublesome thing.

Previously, it was the Commercial Division that was planning strategies and preparing personnel for deployment, but it was only a few days before it was attempted, and it encountered a problem.

Business tax, no way to count!

"How were taxes collected before?" Yingcheng asked suspiciously.

"Previously, based on the bulk of goods, taxes were collected at the main road gates, and if there was a business trip into the Hangu Pass, the goods were inspected for tax collection, and these goods entered the market, and the goods were inspected and then taxed." Ba Chen quickly replied:

"But now that the tariffs and entry taxes have been abolished, it is necessary to disperse these goods and finally sell them, which should be divided into several shares or even a dozen shares, which is difficult to count."

"Moreover, after the completion of a transaction, taxes are collected, and the goods are sold in the store, which is a small trickle transaction every day, and it is impossible to calculate the specific profit."

"And this is secondly, some goods may need to change hands of several second-hand dealers to reach the store, and this part of the transfer is also intricate and cannot be taxed."

Ba Chen was also distressed.

Side.

The Department of Commerce is carrying out a drastic rectification.

It can be said that the degree of support for commerce in the imperial court today is unprecedented.

The Department of Commerce has shut down 50 handicraft workshops around Xianyang City, all of which are old problems left over from the past, and the Shaofu has built hundreds of workshops on a large scale by decree.

Some workshops are profitable, some are still maintained, and some are simply losing money.

In these adjustments, loss-making workshops have been closed one after another.

At least 100 or so workshops run by the government need to be put back into the hands of those who can accept it in the form of attracting investment, so that the private merchants or the people can take over and transform into semi-official businessmen.

Meantime.

The Department of Commerce also needs to carry out a large number of external investment activities.

In a large number of construction projects that originally belonged to the imperial court needed to levy conscription and use prisoners to build, let the merchant travel take over.

Even the construction projects such as the floor bricks and tiles of Afang Palace and road construction are being taken over by businessmen in the form of attracting investment.

In cryptic words.

It is necessary to change the behavior of the government directly driving the people, from a two-level direct structure to a three-level or even ten-level driving structure, even if there is a bottom-up problem, the government cannot be made a direct recipient!

If the government wants to drive the people with a secondary structure, it must do something simple, easy, and easy for the people to make a profit, so that the people can compete for the construction project that the government starts with the secondary structure.

This is one of the main strategic deployments of the Commercial Division, which is not well known to outsiders.

That is to say, for a long time to come, the Department of Commerce will do its best to shake off its hands, and if anyone dares to undertake the construction of the Great Wall, the government can directly give money to let him be responsible for the construction.

That's a hard thing to do in itself.

You must know that before this, not to mention the handicraft workshop, the three top wealthy businessmen in the world, the Zhuo family, the Wu family, and the Hu family are the wealthy businessmen supported by the imperial court, and these three wealthy businessmen control seventy percent of the world's business behavior.

Such behavior can be called the three-tier structure of business.

As for the construction projects, nine out of ten belong to the second-level structure under the direct leadership of the government.

Any problems that arise from the bottom up will be directly borne by the government.

This structure must change.

The other side.

With the opening up of commerce, the business tax matter is the top priority.

But before, the way of commercial tax was very simple.

Entering the customs, entering the city, entering the city, I just look at what your goods are, how much they are worth, and just collect taxes directly.

But now.

Ten people need to stare at the transaction to collect a tax, but this, how can it be stared?

Even if it is exhausted, even if the tax collectors of the Commercial Department are increased tenfold, it is impossible to keep an eye on it.

Nei Shi Teng and Tian Zhen also looked at Yingcheng.

Truly!

A government decree is a government decree, but in practice, the difference is still very large.

The head determines the decree of the butt, which is also a problem that Yingcheng has always mentioned.

The Commercial Division was promoted by Yingcheng.

We can't just go wrong with it.

Especially.

This kind of problem faced by the Commercial Division is very difficult to solve.

No matter how you look at it.

It takes many years to prepare.

There are simply no effective means.

I also want to know what measures Yingcheng will take to solve this situation in the face of this situation.

And after listening to Ba Chen's explanation!

Yingcheng also nodded, this is indeed a big problem.

In Daqin, the sale is such as invoices, and as for electronic account auditing, there is no need to think about it at all.

The abolition of customs duties and entry taxes has added a hellish level of difficulty to the business tax.

Just like the circulation of money, the difficulty of turning one hand and turning ten hands is not the same.

But!

"Business tax is a heavy tax, and it must be levied!" Yingcheng thought for a moment and said, "As for the specific tax collection method, there are three ways to consider. ”

"First, after the prevalence of paper, it was strictly ordered that all bulk goods transactions, shop transactions, and vendor transactions must issue transaction bills as the standard for the collection of commercial tax."

"Second, the tax standard based on the import and export of goods, after a transaction of goods, the total amount of goods owned by the owner is the total amount of goods, the remaining goods are the surplus, the total amount minus the balance is the profit, measured by the price, the difference between the bid price and the purchase price multiplied by the profit is the profit."

"Third, the implementation of the transaction of goods, starting from the source of the transaction, the volume of goods, the transaction price, the signature seal is one, the owner of the next transaction needs to be in the same way and sign the previous transaction details in order to two, no matter how many times it changes hands, any transaction must have a clear past transaction, that is, the transaction of goods,

The Commercial Tax Department only needs to check the transaction book of the goods sold in the store, and you can trace the source and collect taxes accordingly! ”

"This!" Ba Chen, who was originally depressed, instantly lit up, staring at Yingcheng with a look of surprise, only to feel that his soul had been hit by a critical blow, and said in shock:

"The lower officials obey the order, and the great law orders this to learn, and it can be called the first person in the world, and no one can match it."

"The matter of business tax that the lower officials didn't even think about was solved like this."

"Bulk goods trading book, bulk goods trading book, hahaha, Xia Guan understands!"

Ba Chen's eyes lit up completely.

What bothered him was that with the extension of business from a two-tier structure to a ten-tier structure, there was simply no way for tax officials to conduct statistical verification.

But now.

The book of transactions of goods made his eyes shine.

Moreover, the greater advantage of the transaction book is that the imperial court can observe every transaction detail of the entire commercial blueprint in the most direct way.

And they only need to check the shop's bulk transaction book to clearly sort out the entire transaction context.

It's hard to collect taxes, it's hard to collect taxes, but now that you have a book of transactions, it's no longer difficult.

Because.

In the end, any product must go through the process from selling in stores to buying by individuals.

When the bulk transaction book of a commodity appears in the store, you only need to take a look at the bulk transaction book to clearly see the problems that arise in each transaction link.

This is the strategy of the ages!
