Chapter 102: The next five years (6)

Li Shimin is very troubled. Why does Yin Qingfeng challenge Aye's prestige every time? Moreover, there are really no hidden dangers to do this?

"Even if officials and lords of third rank or above do business, they can drive business development. Have you ever considered that any of them is powerful enough? Are you really sure that you are not raising a tiger?

Moreover, with their arrogant personality, can they really pay taxes obediently?"

Yin Qingfeng really admired Li Shimin for being able to find the key to the problem in such a short time. But Li Shimin didn't expect that there was a saying of collusion between officials and businessmen in this world.

Moreover, letting high-level officials do business is not just the hidden danger of raising tigers.

Yin Qingfeng, who had a solution, said slowly: "First, if they want to join, they must pay a certain amount of franchise fee, and their nephew only collects passbooks. This indirectly supports the development of copper coins exchange.

When they do business, they will know how convenient the passbook exists. At that time, they will not only not stop them, but will instead support the development of the bank.

Second, if they want to join, they must ensure that they pay as much as possible when the court needs to collect commercial tax in the future. Otherwise, the franchise deposit will not be refunded. Moreover, after the franchise period is over, the nephew will refuse to cooperate with him again.

Third, the uncle was worried that after their strength was enhanced, they would unite to overthrow Li Tang's rule, and the little nephew also had this consideration. But the corresponding method still needs to be improved.

Fourth, if officials of third rank or above can join the industry of my nephew, many low-level officials will inevitably be dissatisfied. Therefore, my nephew asks my uncle to ask the saint to increase the salary to officials at all levels starting next year."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and also imitated Yin Qingfeng's appearance, raised his finger and asked, "First, how to collect commercial taxes? Second, aren't you worried that they will join forces to force you in turn? Third, increase your salary, how much does it increase?"

"When I pay for the collection of commercial tax, I have two ideas. One is that a merchant with a monthly operating volume of less than 20 tons will only pay a management fee of 500 kilometers.

There will not be a large number of such merchants, and they will not earn much money, so there is no need to charge too much.

For those who are higher than 20 trump cards per month, the tax ratio is 15. For example, if their operating amount is 150 trump cards, they have to pay 15 trump cards as tax.

However, no matter whether it is vegetable farmers who grow vegetables to sell vegetables in the city or farmers who sell grain to grain shops, they cannot charge fees. Otherwise, they can only increase the price of vegetables and grain to sell. In the end, they can only spend more money to fill their stomachs in the city.”

Li Shimin nodded and agreed with this advice.

"In addition, the nephew will organize some personnel to check whether the franchisees pay commercial tax as scheduled. If they do not pay or pay less, the nephew will have certain punishment measures.

As for those people who want to unite and force their nephews, they are not very worried. In a few years, the nephew will be the prince-in-law. Forcing the nephews is to embarrass the royal family.

Moreover, the current industries of my nephew are only three, Ziweilou, Xianjufang and Wumeifang, but they will increase in the future. They want to attack my nephew, and I am welcome at any time. Not only can I deduct their franchise bonus openly, but those families that have not received the opportunity to join are more willing to stand on my nephew's side to fight those attackers.

In short, if they want to use their power to suppress others, then there will be uncles who come forward. They want to use commercial means to fight, and the nephew is even more afraid.

Besides, there are two parts of the royal family in these industries. Forcing the nephew is to go against the royal family."

"There are two parts of the royal family?"

Li Shimin didn't react for a moment, what did Yin Qingfeng's industry have to do with the royal family?

"Did uncle remember that my nephew mentioned the treasury and hidden words several times?"

Li Shimin nodded.

"I am willing to give out 20% of the shares to the royal family, so it is of course a purpose."

Li Shimin was curious.

Although Yin Qingfeng said this more than once, including when he was talking about the eunuch just now, he never cared about it. Could it be that there is any profound meaning here, or will it affect whether the empire can last forever?

"Since Dayu passed the throne to Xia Qi, the kings of every dynasty regarded the country and the country as private property. Therefore, there was a saying that the country and the world were in the world.

A manifestation of the family and world, including the king's failure to realize that there is a difference between the national treasury and the hidden content when he is spending and enjoying it.

Take Emperor Wu of Han as an example. After the Red Eyebrow Army dug up Maoling twice, thousands of soldiers moved the treasures in the tomb. After moving them for dozens of days, "the things in the tomb cannot be reduced by half."

First, how did these rare treasures from aristocratic families get? Second, if these treasures were left to the later emperors, would the Liu Han Dynasty be replaced, or would it be replaced later?

My nephew learned it from historical books. He has never formulated a law in all dynasties to restrict the king in terms of cost. Without constraints, the king will squander the world's wealth in order to enjoy the jade table, jade cups and ivory chopsticks, bears and leopard fetuses, wine ponds and meat forests.

Taxes are limited every year, while the king's pleasure is infinite. Uncontrollable pleasure not only consumes wealth that should have been used for national economy and people's livelihood, but also makes the king unwilling to govern the world.

There was a saying, "The King of Wu is good at swordsmen, and the people are scarred. The King of Chu is good at waist thin, and most of them starve to death in the palace." He also said, "Perform it on the top and apply it to the bottom."

The king is arrogant in the palace, and there must be a scene outside the palace that "there are rich people, the meat is smelly, and the road is frozen to death."

The little nephew does not object to every member of the royal family, and he gets the enjoyment he deserves. However, the little nephew does not agree with it, and the royal family has no restrained squandering.

To formulate a government decree is not only to solve the problems in front of you, but also to consider future generations.

If it were from the saints today, every generation of saints would spend too much money during their lifetime and would be buried with huge amounts of wealth behind them. My nephew dared to assert that the Tang Dynasty had existed for at most two hundred to three hundred years.

Therefore, it must be clearly stipulated that the money from the treasury can only be used for the people of the world. The cost of royal members can only be taken from the hidden content.

My nephew doesn’t know how much money it will be transferred from the treasury to the intestine after the tax revenue every year, but my nephew’s advice is at most 20%. If the Tang Dynasty flourishes, the royal family will enjoy more, and if the tax revenue is less, they will be more frugal.

However, with the increase of royal members, the transfer of money from the treasury to hidden money will inevitably not guarantee that all members will receive the enjoyment they deserve. Therefore, my nephew is willing to donate 20% of the property to the Tang Dynasty royal family.

However, after these 20% are donated to the royal family, the royal family is not allowed to participate in the management."

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said solemnly: "Your advice is very good. But, only 20% of the tax revenue is too little? After all, this is a long-term law."

"It doesn't matter whether it's 20% or 40% of the tax, the key is to see how much the total tax is. If it's 40% of 20 million guan, and 10% of 200 million guan, which uncle chooses?"

Li Shimin nodded silently. After a while, he asked: "You asked the officials to do business, and you donated to the royal family. Can the royal family do business?"

Yin Qingfeng shook his head, "Don't you recommend the royal family to do business?"

"Oh? Why not? Can't it be that only the shabby royal family can show the wiseness of the saint?"

Li Shimin was a little confused. You can all do business, so why don’t the royal family participate?

"The royal family goes to do business, but only one profit but one harm."

It was not that Li Shimin couldn't figure it out at this time, but he was a little unhappy. You will benefit the country and the people when doing business, and the royal family will harm the country and the people when doing business?

“Take my nephew as an example.

My nephew took a fancy to a piece of land outside Yangzhou City, or wanted to open a shop in the city. Because my nephew was under the banner of making money for the royal family, who dared to stop him? Which official dared not to flatter him?

So, no matter who these shops originally belonged to, my nephew would get it for a small price, or even a penny without paying it.

Then what will the nephew do? One fifth of the nephew reports at the nephew, and the rest are taken for themselves by the nephew, or some are taken to win people's hearts.

Uncle, will this happen?"

Li Shimin was silent.
