Chapter 48 Taxation
When it comes to money, Zhizhuo's speed is always the fastest, and in the time when the two of them talk and play for less than half a day, several stores under the Taishou Mansion in Xiangping City have begun to sell, perfumes, spices, cosmetics and other things, and have contacted caravans in other places to start selling tea, and according to different tea prices, for example, ordinary large-leaf tea is sold every two or five dollars so that ordinary families can drink it, and ordinary small-leaf tea is one or two dozen yuan, like some better tea, jasmine tea, Pu'er tea, Ordinary Biluochun and other teas can be sold for fifty to two hundred yuan a tael, and Maojian, Yinzhen, Longjing, etc. can even be sold for a thousand yuan a tael, of course, this is only the initial price, and when the market is rolled out, the price will continue to grow, and the supplier is only Liaodong, so a monopoly situation can be formed, as long as the price is well controlled, it is also a profiteering industry.
Of course, because of the ancient productive forces, Tang Tian has some things in his hands that they don't have, through operation, Tang Tian can form a monopoly situation, as long as these things are integrated into life and closely related to the people, then it will be profitable, such as cigarettes, Tang Tian is ready to take out cigarettes and sell them, sanctions are a real profiteering industry, even in later generations, cigarettes have always been the most profitable, Huaxia Tobacco Company can rank first in the world, after all, it can be worth the market value of a certain fruit in a year of taxes alone, In addition, they went abroad to acquire other tobacco companies, forming a monopoly situation, and one company has been dominant for 1,200 years, and the Chinese government has a considerable part of the financial income provided by the Chinese tobacco company.
For these things, Tang Tian is not lacking at all, the reserves of domain rings in his hands are very considerable, as for Lei Yun, they all have private goods, and they must be less than his. It is a zero cost to sell it on the market, as long as a little transportation cost and advertising cost, then it is a lot of money.
After a simple plan, Tang Tian directly took out large machinery and began to build the research institute, with the addition of large machinery, the original three-year construction period was directly compressed to three months, and three D was used
Printing technology, as long as the raw materials are constantly added, it can be continuously built. After all, post-era technology is not comparable to what it is now.
Autumn.
Autumn came, the weather gradually cooled, the research institute was built, the rice was ripe, and the annual tax began, although Liaodong abolished many taxes and fees after the arrival of the Tang Dynasty, but the grain tax and taxes such as the poll tax were not abolished.
Zhi Zhuo reported: "This year, Liaodong County has produced 2.4 billion catties of grain, 1.5 billion catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes, 1.8 billion catties of corn, and 800 million catties of other crops, with a total grain harvest of 20 billion catties, and 2 billion catties of grain according to the 10 taxes, and another 11 billion catties of grain according to the regulations on relocated households, totaling 13 billion catties of taxes, totaling 100.9 million catties of grain, compared with the 162 million catties of grain collected by the Han Dynasty last year, our grain is still less, but the per capita Han Dynasty is 2.5 stones. Our per capita tax is 142.5 stones, which is 57 times the per capita tax revenue of the Han Dynasty, and this is only counting tax revenues; if we follow the total grain output, the Han Dynasty estimated that the output last year was 400 million stones, and our output was 20 billion catties, totaling 170 million stones, which is less than half of that of the Han Dynasty. ”
Although the above data seems to be inferior to the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, there is one thing to be clear, Liaodong is only a county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of only more than 700,000, and the Han Dynasty has more than 60 million people in addition to Liaodong, which is far from per capita, Liaodong grain per capita is 236 stones, and the per capita of the Han Dynasty is only 6.3 stones, which is just the mantissa of Liaodong, even if the tax is over, the grain in the hands of the people is still 85 stones, and how much grain is there after various taxes in other parts of the Han Dynasty? There are not two stones, and in some places there is not even one stone, that is, there are more than one stone and two stones, and it will take a year, who can?
Because there is too much food in the hands of the people, and they can't save so much food, won't it all be wasted after a long time? At this moment, Tang Tian stood up, according to the purchase of 240 yuan per stone, the purchase does not directly use coins, but gives each household a small book, on which there is the purchase money of grain, you can go to the newly opened Liaodong money to exchange five baht or paper money, Liaodong and Liaoyang can use paper money to buy goods, and according to the amount of money issued passbooks, record the currency access situation, of course, if the family has money can also be deposited in the Liaodong bank, every year according to the amount of storage to give the corresponding interest.
At first, the people were skeptical of this banknote, but Tang Tian attracted some families, first used paper money to trade, and then drove the people to trade, and soon everyone saw the benefits of paper money, and you can go to Liaodong Money Village at any time to access, so everyone began to use paper money, so Tang Tian completed the first step.
Soon after, Tang Tian started the second step, giving each family a certain loan amount, 5,000 yuan per household, but the interest rate generated by the repayment time is different, what if it is not paid at once? It's okay, let's understand it in installments, Tang Tian used it here completely according to a certain method, doesn't this greatly stimulate the development of the economy?
The food problem has been solved, the economic problem has also been solved, Liaodong is thriving, changing the previous decadence and vitality, but Tang Tian now has another problem to worry about, that is, everyone is too rich, no one wants to farm, all waiting to buy, buy, buy, buy, but this is not the norm, once the supply side has no source of goods, then the economic empire he carefully built will soon collapse, causing inflation, and the money in his hands will become more and more worthless, so Tang Tian can only risk the disapproval of the world, touched Liu Che's brows, so he issued a call to the whole Han Dynasty, all the people of the Han Dynasty can come to settle in Liaodong, regardless of birth, regardless of high or low, refugees and displaced people can also come to Liaodong to eat, and they can also exchange labor for compensation......
Sure enough, as soon as the call came out, the world shook, and a large number of people moved to Liaodong, the most of them were refugees and displaced people, because Liu Che's policy was really harsh, resulting in a large number of refugees, and then there was an uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, which caused an increase in refugees and refugees, and it was conservatively estimated that there were no less than 15 million refugees and refugees in the country.
Tang Tian's behavior was stopped by Hou Rui, but Tang Tian insisted on going his own way, these more than 10 million people are the capital of his future domination of the world, and there is no place to live? Isn't there the land of Goguryeo, Buyeo, Shensu, and Xianbei in the north? The land of Sanhan in the east, if you take it again, won't you have all the territory and expand the territory?
