Chapter 22: It's not overkill
When Tian Meng sent someone to pick up the book, Li Ke roughly calculated an account in his heart, and Li Ke probably knew the financial income of the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Zhenguan, which was about 10.5 million guan, of which the copper money was only about 2 million guan, and the grain, silk, cloth, and cotton were converted into about 8.5 million guan.
Among them, the silk silk is about 7.4 million horses, a horse of 4 zhang, and the discount is 2.22 million yuan.
Cloth, that is, linen made of various hemp, is based on the end of the unit, one end of five zhang, about 16 million ends, 2.41 million yuan, one end is equivalent to a horse is about 150 Wen.
The cotton here is not cotton, but silk cotton, a kind of silk, high-end products, made of pure silkworm silk similar to cotton, with Tun as a unit, a tun for 6 taels, the price is 80 Wen, about 1.85 million tun, 150,000 guan.
The grain is about 3.75 million yuan, that is to say, Datang's silk and cloth account for about 58% of Datang's financial revenue.
After calculating, Li Ke probably also had an idea in his heart.
Tian Meng quickly took the book back, and about a few minutes later, Li Ke opened the teacher's anthology and read it carefully, Tian Meng waited quietly beside him, Lu Daqiang and they had already packed up their things and continued to work.
About an hour later, Li Ke raised his head, looked at Tian Mengdao, and said, "I have an idea now, you can help me analyze it." ”
"Your Highness, you say." Tian Meng said immediately.
"You say, the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes is very huge, but they can't control everyone in the world, right?" Li Ke opened his mouth and said that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the tax policy implemented now is completely different from that of later generations.
What does the tax system implemented by Datang mean? Datang is a uniform land system, that is, all the fields in the world are distributed to the people, such as 100 acres per household, of which 20 acres of Yongye field, that is, can be permanently passed on to future generations, and 80 acres of land are leased to the people by the state.
In the north, the tax system is 2 koku per ding, that is, per man, and in the south, 3 koku per dug of rice.
Tune: It is treated according to the national specialties, and the silkworm area exports silk, silk, etc., a total of two zhang, and 3 taels of cotton. The hemp production area loses 2.5 zhang of cloth and 3 catties of hemp.
Yong: Adult males have to serve 20 days of forced labor with the state every year, but they can be covered with silk, three feet a day, so they are called Yong.
Land tax: It is similar to the asset tax, which is paid or discounted at the standard of 2 liters per mu of land.
Moreover, the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were the only periods in China when they did not engage in the monopoly of salt and iron and the collection of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, that is to say, there was no tax on doing business at this time! And salt and iron can be produced and sold casually by themselves!
And such a system also means that the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes on the people is not as great as that of the landlords of later generations on the people! The influence of the five surnames and seven hopes on the people comes more from the influence on the official officials, because they have a monopoly on books, and almost all the officials come from them, which is their greatest influence.
But this influence wants to be broken...... It's hard for Li Shimin, but it's ...... for Li Ke Looking at the book in his hand, Li Ke's face was a little strange.
No wonder some people in later generations called this thing dragon slaying.
"Of course not, the world is the world of the Li family." Tian Meng said quickly.
"And the family with five surnames and seven hopes actually doesn't have that much population, and their influence is more connected with some small families and small families around them to form a united front, right?" Li Ke asked with a strange expression.
"Yes." Tian Meng was a little puzzled, not knowing what Li Ke wanted to say.
"Then you say, if we dissolve the Yuelai Commercial Bank, no, it can't be called dissolution, but according to the restructuring of all the counties and counties in the world, with each county as a unit, it will be restructured into a separate commercial house, and then this commercial house will unite these small families and small families to directly purchase silk from their hands!"
"Excluding raw materials, our production manpower and material costs are about 6 Wen, while their production labor and material costs are about 120 Wen! You say, if we give them a silk horse for 100 wen, will they be willing to come to us? Li Ke asked strangely.
"You don't have to ask, of course!" Tian Meng replied directly without thinking about it, these people saved manpower and material resources, and they didn't even need transportation, and they directly bought silk from the people, and the result was more than their own production and earnings, and the fools agreed!
"Okay, then, a year later, can I win over these small families?" Li Ke asked another question.
"Absolutely!" Tian Meng immediately said, benefits! Profit is the most advantageous means!
"Then do you think that after I win over all the small families and small families, how much influence can those five surnames and seven hopes have?" Li Ke asked the last question with a smile, "And can I influence the people who buy silk through these small families?" ”
Tian Meng is stupid!
"This ...... This ...... "Tian Meng's whole person is confused, if this is the case...... Doesn't that mean Your Highness...... Tian Meng didn't dare to think about it.
At that time, was the influence of the big family still so great?
Li Ke looked at Tian Meng's bewildered expression, his face was refreshed, this is called the countryside surrounding the city! This is called uniting all the forces that can be united, those big families, that is, the big compradors, the big landlord class! It must be opposed! Then the rest of these are all that can be united!
The faculty is awesome.
For the time being, I am a foundry! But when their own foundry monopolizes all production technologies, and other gate valve families want to keep up, they will find that they are playing a price war? Li Ke played until they cried!
The production cost of linen is lower than that of silk, and the production cost of Datang Commercial Bank is about 100 Wen at one end, because linen is more durable and durable, with less loss, and is easier to spin than silk.
"Do you understand now?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Got it! What do you mean, Your Highness? Tian Meng still asked again.
"In addition to the Yuelai Commercial Houses in the Western Regions and the grasslands, all the Yuelai Commercial Houses in the Mulberry Silkworm District and the Hemp-producing District in the Tang Dynasty are named and hidden by the county and county, and let them decide for themselves what to name, and then these commercial houses will contact all the small families below and tell them that a horse of silk is 100 Wen, and a linen cloth is 80 Wen, and we will help them produce!"
"Don't transport them anymore! Let's do it ourselves! Tell the Longmen Dart Bureau, draw forces, Lu Daqiang and they made the loom spinning machine, and transported it to all the silkworm areas and hemp production areas at the fastest speed. In addition, silk cotton plus 10 Wen per tun, unlimited acquisition! Li Ke said in a deep voice!
"Yes!" Tian Meng was also completely excited, how much does this cost! Datang tens of millions of horses of silk and hemp every year, so if you calculate it, even if you earn 70 yuan, that is 700,000 yuan!
700,000! Datang's annual tax revenue is only 10 million! It's almost one-tenth of Datang!
Although it is impossible for us to monopolize all the production of silk and linen in Datang......
This is also Datang, if this is released to future generations, the logistics system of Yuelai Commercial Bank all over the country can be valued at tens of trillions.
