The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more energetic he felt.

There are many functions of invoices.

But in today's era, the biggest role is truth and unity.

After all, there was no Internet in those days.

Many merchants have to travel all over the country.

I may have paid taxes in Jiaxing Mansion, but when I arrived in Jinhua Mansion, I was told by the local government that I had to pay taxes again.

Why? Because there are no invoices and no vouchers.

It's all up to the businessman's mouth.

Taking a step back, even if the government issues a certificate, the government in another place may not recognize it.

Taxes should be paid, or taxes should be paid.

Of course, the government can't be blamed for this, after all, the proof can be faked, and they have no way to distinguish the real from the fake.

Another possibility is that the local government wants to make some oil and water, so even if the businessman comes up with a certificate with the official seal, the government will not recognize it.

As a result, each locality collects its own taxes.

No matter how much tax you pay elsewhere, you still have to pay it again when you come to me.

Other proofs? It doesn't count!

And most of this money also went into the pockets of local officials.

After all, the emperor is far away, and only they know how much tax they collect.

The merchants, on the other hand, are trying every means to evade taxes, disguise, and falsify......

In the long run, there is no benefit to the economy.

The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the economy collapsed, and I am afraid that there may not be no reasons for this.

Fortunately, I thought of the invoice.

With the tax authorities issuing unified invoices and special tax agencies, this situation can be greatly eliminated.

Supplemented by double-entry bookkeeping, even if someone wants to cheat for personal gain, it is not so easy.

In addition to this, invoices can also be used to monitor the functioning of the country's economy.

From the rich businessmen on the rich side to the hawkers on the streets.

As long as they have invoices, they can see at a glance where their income, expenses, money is going, etc., etc., are all clear at a glance.

It is by no means difficult to set up a special agency to deal with this.

And at this time, Daming already had banknotes.

Lao Zhu printed the "Ming Pass Treasure Banknote" a long time ago, and the anti-counterfeiting is also quite good.

Banknotes, double-entry accounting, invoices, tax departments......

Taken together, all these elements have already formed the prototype of the economic system of later generations.

Although there are still many things that need to be refined, as long as you get off to a good start, these things are not a problem.

Zhu Yunxi's thoughts were like flowing water, and he wrote down every idea he thought of.

Ying'er was in the clouds and foggy from the side, and she couldn't help but open her mouth several times to ask.

But I was afraid of interrupting Zhu Yunxi's train of thought.

I had to accompany quietly on the side, helping to polish the ink while serving carefully.

Zhu Yunxi held his chin, still pondering.

These alone are far from enough, and soon, Zhu Yunxi thought of another thing, business certificates.

The so-called business certificate is actually a business license.

Any business in the future, whether it is a restaurant or a shop, requires a business license, which is something very important.

this era. In this era, there are actually franchises, something similar to a business license.

It's just that the system is not perfect, and more importantly, it is a manifestation of privilege for a small number of businessmen.

Therefore, the matter of commercial certification must be implemented.

The first is to supervise, and the other is to eliminate opposition.

Zhu Yunxi knows that the thousand-year-old idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business is not so easy to reverse.

After Lao Zhu ascended the throne, he also stipulated that Shinong industry and commerce should perform their duties.

That is, only merchants can do business.

Moreover, Lao Zhu is also a businessman who values agriculture over businessmen.

Merchants are indeed rich, but their status is lowly.

For example, in this patriarchal era, many businessmen wish they had a daughter.

Why? Very simple.

With a daughter, they can marry their daughter to the children of the eunuchs and thus enter the "upper class".

Therefore, the threshold for doing business is actually very high.

People who don't have money can't do it, and people who have money don't want to do it by themselves.

In many cases, merchants are often servants of wealthy families.

As a result, it is also difficult for goods to circulate and prices to rise.

It is very likely that something that costs only one penny in one place becomes a hundred wen when it comes to another place.

This is not too good for the economy as a whole.

But there is no way around it.

Although Lao Zhu is very powerful, he knows nothing about the modern economy.

After all, at this time, there are still hundreds of years before Zhu Yunxi's later life, and there are limitations of the times.

It is impossible to reverse Lao Zhu's thoughts all at once.

But it can also change Lao Zhu's views on certain things little by little.

For example, anyone can apply for this business license.

Because in essence, this is not a certificate to do business, but a certificate to pay taxes.

Only by paying taxes legally can you do business legally.

In this way, the imperial court also had a reason to collect taxes.

To apply for a business permit is to apply for tax payment.

The business court wants to restrict, and the government is not happy.

However, if you apply to pay taxes, there is no reason for either the imperial court or the local government to refuse.

How can there be no money not to give?

"So, the business certificate ...... It should be changed to a tax certificate. Zhu Yunxi muttered to himself.

It's like a know-how, a hundred know-how.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly came up with many ideas, and he wrote down all these ideas.

Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Yunxi asked, "What time is it?" ”

Ying'er replied softly: "The Fourth Emperor Sun, it's already ugly. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, the time in his thoughts always passed quickly, and before he knew it, it had been so long.

"It's so late, you should go and rest too." Zhu Yunxi said, and then put away the pen.

The next day, Zhu Yunxi was writing a recital in the study.

He put together the thoughts that had come to mind last night about tax certificates, double-entry bookkeeping, and so on.

And it is written in order on the cantata.

"Hey-" Zhu Yunxi sighed: "It's really tiring to write calligraphy." ”

In fact, he had also practiced calligraphy in his previous life, which was far better than ordinary people.

Traditional Chinese characters are also known a lot because of practicing calligraphy.

Combined with the knowledge of the original body, there is no obstacle to writing.

After writing for a long time, my wrist will feel extremely sore.

Shaking his arm vigorously, Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath and thought of his current situation again.

If you want to have more say, this thing must be done well.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi calmed down and picked up the pen again.

Wow –

The door was pushed open, and a little eunuch walked in with a bent end.

"See the Four Emperor Grandsons!"

"If you have something to say, just say it." Zhu Yunxi didn't raise his head and continued to write.

The little eunuch said respectfully: "The four emperors and grandsons of Qiqi should be asked to see Yin Guduan of Tianfu." ”
