Wenhua Palace Training Class

The crowd in Wenhua Palace was immediately hit hard.

Is this old devil Xu talking nonsense? What does it mean to not take it seriously? Could it be that he wants to destroy all of us? God, this big devil, did what he said. He wouldn't really want to kill all those present, right? Thinking of this, even Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but look a little stiff.[]

"What are your abilities to fight me? You are all losers! Do you have military forces in your hands? No! Do you have enough weapons in your hands? No! Are all the people around you willing to work hard for you? Don't! If there is a change in the above conditions, you will not be like this!"

"I can say without hesitation that in front of me, Xu Xingxia, you are waste! Bad people who are worse than slag! You can think about what kind of skills do you have! What else can you do besides bullying a few poor people? You can't solve the Mongols in the north! You can't solve the Tatars in the west! You can't solve the Jianlu in the north! You can't solve the Japanese pirates in the east!"

"The Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and there are many crises, but you can't solve them either. What's the use of keeping you, except for spending money and food in vain? If anyone of you feels dissatisfied, you can stand up! You can tell me loudly, Xu Xingxia, it's not like this! I can solve the Mongols, I can solve the Tatars, I can solve the Jianlu, I can solve the Japanese pirates! Is there anyone like this? If there is, you can stand up now!"

"I'm sorry, no one stood up! What I saw was that everyone was consciously lowering their heads and holding their heads down. I hope my eyes will not fall on you. Well, I admit that this country cannot pin hope on you. Your era is over. Now is a brand new era! It is a new era that you have never experienced and have never seen! This new era will eliminate you!"

"But, I, Xu Xingxia, are still willing to give you a chance. As long as you hand over all the wealth according to our requirements, I will let you go. You can go anywhere. As long as it is within the control of the White Army, you can go. The premise is that you don't make trouble in private, and don't do anything to me, Old Devil Xu."

"I don't want you to get something for nothing. I hope to make your wealth back through your own efforts. You have controlled a lot of land and simply earned income from the land. This is not your ability. This is something that even a fool can do. You should do something meaningful and challenging. I hope that you can make huge profits through legitimate and legal business activities."

"Have you heard of the word bourgeoisie? The main source of this class is industry and commerce. Specifically, it is to establish factories, develop industries, participate in commercial trade, and live a rich income. It is estimated that people from the southeastern half will be familiar with it. In Suzhou Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture, there are many factories, and Japanese friends start working and produce a large amount of cloth. I hope everyone will do it. This is one."

"I will stay in Wenhua Hall for three days to teach you and explain your future development path. During these three days, you must come to listen to the class. If I find that I am absent, I'm sorry, you will definitely be finished! After three days, if you feel that you don't understand, you can also ask me at any time!"

"Now, we are enemies. You will definitely hate me. But in the future, maybe we will be friends. Maybe, by that time, you will be grateful to me. Now, the bayonet of the White Army is aimed at you and suppressing you. But in the future, maybe the bayonet of the White Army is to protect you and help you!"

The heroes and powerful officials below all looked at each other, not understanding Xu Xingxia's meaning at all. What is the purpose of this old demon Xu talking so much? It seems that it is not a bad thing. However, it is really a bit difficult to figure out what Xu Xingxia meant. When he heard his last tone, why did Xu Xingxia actually start "training" them? Which is going on?

However, the news of Xu Xingxia's personal lecture spread in Beijing, and many businesses were interested. They asked the White Army about how to get the opportunity to listen to the lecture.

As a result, the results they found were exciting. As long as they had a certain identity, a clear origin, and did not carry dangerous weapons, they could come to listen to the class. In this way, many smart merchants immediately rushed to Wenhua Palace to listen to the class.

The policy of the White Army is to focus on supporting the development of industry and commerce, except for 10%-15%.

There is no need to pay any fees in other aspects. If you find that there are random charges, you can directly complain to Xu Xingxia. He has a special committee under his command to deal with such matters. Merchants in Shaanxi are very satisfied with this committee. With their support, their business and trade can be said to be very comfortable.

In the original Ming Dynasty, the commercial tax was thirty taxes. Later, Qianqian waived all the commercial taxes. This policy looked beautiful, but in fact it only protected big merchants. Ordinary merchants still had to pay a lot of fees. These fees were all dark and undisclosed expenses. What's so bad is that if you don't pay these special fees, it's impossible to survive and develop. Therefore, even without commercial taxes, their daily expenses are quite large. For ordinary merchants, this part of the fee is definitely more than 15%.

Now, the White Army has clarified this part of the commercial tax, which has reduced their consumption. The White Army's policy has a very obvious feature, that is, all costs are transparent and there is absolutely no random charge. Therefore, from the perspective of cost, it is much better to implement the White Army's commercial tax policy than to implement the original Ming Dynasty policy. It is much more comfortable to operate for ordinary merchants. It is obvious that paying fees clearly and paying taxes steadily, which is probably what most merchants are willing to do.

More importantly, as long as it is within the control of the White Army, the goods can be circulated by themselves, and there is no level in between. As long as the commercial tax is paid in one place, there is no need to pay taxes repeatedly anywhere else. No matter how far your goods go, this is true. This is very important for commercial trade. Who doesn’t want to have a stable, open and transparent business environment? The original secret operation is indeed too burdened by small and medium-sized merchants.

Shanxi merchants had the most experience with the entire commercial tax policy of the White Clothes Army. In the past, in order to develop the business, Shanxi merchants needed to pay a large amount of bribes to the official government, otherwise it would be easy to attract pressure from their opponents. Officials and businessmen only had officials. To be honest, the cost of this bribe was very large. For the specific value, you can refer to Sun Dakun’s leopard skin price. A leopard skin is 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention anything else.

The Sun family's business is used to bribe the silver from the official government. On average, it will definitely not be less than 100,000 taels of silver per year. The Sun family's business' annual income is usually around 300,000 taels. In other words, more than 30% of the income is used to bribe the official government. If you accidentally encounter a special year, this number will be even larger. After working hard for a year, you will end up making wedding clothes for officials. This is not surprising at all.

After the arrival of the White Army, the original official government in Shanxi was banned. The White Army also implemented a unified commercial tax policy in Shanxi. Except for the commercial tax, no other fees were required. In this way, all Shanxi merchants were greatly relieved. This unified commercial tax was definitely a great blessing for them. Whether it was a large chamber of commerce or a small chamber of commerce, they could save a lot of money.

It seems that the annual income of the Sun family's business bank is about 300,000 taels of silver. According to the commercial tax policy of 1 Wei, only 36,000 taels of tax is required, which is much less than the previous 100,000 taels. The saved silver is pure profit. Of course, this is the best for merchants. Who would think that they have a lot of profits? Therefore, merchants all over the world love him so much about Xu Xingxia's policy.

The only people who don’t like Xu Xingxia are those merchants who have strong backends and do not need to pay any extra fees at all. These people cannot be called merchants, but should be called heroes and powerful officials, or senior officials of the court. Simply put, they are those people who were forcibly detained in the Wenhua Hall. These people have seriously interfered with the operation of market order through their own power, which Xu Xingxia absolutely does not allow.

The most important factor of the market economy is to decouple economic activities from the power of the official government as much as possible. The official government can intervene in the market economy to a certain extent to avoid the blind operation of the market economy and avoid causing huge losses and waste. However, the official government must never use its own power to seek personal gain for itself. Otherwise, this so-called management is fundamentally about using power for personal gain and endangering the development of the market economy.

In early September, Xu Xingxia's training class officially opened in Wenhua Hall. In addition to the powerful ministers who forced to attend the training class, there were also a large number of small and medium-sized businessmen who took the initiative to participate. The number of people once exceeded 1,400.
