Chapter 220 Life is different

After leaving Mr. Wu's house, Shisanlang said, "As soon as I thought, if I could not make a name for myself, I would go back to farm at home. I have saved some money over the years, and returned to my hometown to buy hundreds of acres of land and become a countryman. Unexpectedly, after a few years, everything will be different. Now, if I go back to my hometown to buy land and do not become a member, I must have some industries."

Yao Shouxin said: "It may not necessarily be necessary to do these businesses. When my home is located, the owner can sell grapes well and he can sell them a lot of money a year. In the past two years, he has learned to use grapes to make wine and sell them. It is really a good business."

Tao Shiqi said: "Don't look at the winemaking business making money. It's difficult to do it for a long time. This is a prohibited item in the court. Where is the wine tax, you have to pay. If your business is good, the government will increase the tax. When the tax is reduced, the business is actually difficult to do. Liquor is better and difficult to brew on your own. The wine cannot be done. After paying the wine tax, the price will rise. Many people brew it themselves. This wine does not have good wine koji, just use sugar, which is too easy."

Shisanlang said: "It's embarrassing. In recent years, life on Jingxi Road has improved. The people have money in their hands. With shopping malls, the prices of all kinds of goods are much cheaper than before, and everyone gets benefits. Only this wine, because the government prohibits the government, has not dropped."

Tao Shiqi said: "I heard from several officials in the Iron Supervision Bureau that alcohol is not necessary, and there is no need to look at the quantity, but only how much alcohol tax is collected. People have a better life. If they have money in their hands, they will have more alcohol taxes. If the alcohol tax is low, it will inevitably lead to the poor life of the people. They don't care about the price of alcohol. When the price is high, they will naturally buy less people. When the price is low, they will sell more alcohol. The alcohol tax will always remain the same."

Shisanlang spat: "These local officials are really lazy! The alcohol tax remains unchanged, so they find ways to make the alcohol price high and collect taxes easy. But they don't know that the alcohol tax is high and the price of selling is high, so it is rare for the people to drink a sip into their mouths!"

Tao Shiqi smiled and shook his head, not saying anything. Wine is not a necessity because it is brewed with grain. Officials have a basis for raising the alcohol tax, and no one can say that it is not. For the sake of convenience of management, of course, the alcohol tax will not be set too low. Anyway, if you sell too much, the total amount of alcohol tax will not be increased.

Hearing the two of them talking lively, Yao Shouxin said: "When I was in the field business, I heard from the Tsing Ju talk about how the government manages businessmen. If the government wants to make the business prosperous and the ordinary people benefit, they must break all kinds of barriers. The cleaner the barriers, the more benefits the people get, and the more developed the business under the rule. But for the government, all these rules have been cancelled, and there will be fewer tools to manage them, so this is a dilemma. Why has the business on Jingxi Road developed rapidly in recent years? Shopping malls are actually second, but they have opened shopping malls to destroy various guilds and cancel the fangs.

There are no guilds and guilds that can control the market between industries. With this trend, many people become rich and the people also get real benefits. But without guilds, the government will have fewer tools and will not manage the market effectively. Therefore, people are encouraged to join together, establish a society, and supervise the private sector of the society. Now is the time for great destruction and great establishment, and everything will naturally be full of vitality. When some companies gradually do more and more joint, a few companies will join forces, and a new guild will naturally form. As long as there are guilds, business will be sluggish and the price will rise."

Shisanlang said: "Officials often say that whenever they do things, there must be one disadvantage, and the same is true for us when we march and fight. Therefore, every time we suggest a plan, we must state what is for, what is the benefit, what will be produced, how to promote profit and eliminate disadvantage, and it is indispensable. People who are unfamiliar can clearly write down what benefits they have, and what harm they have, and they are confused and don't know how to write them. We officials can tell whether they are skilled from this."

From here, the topic of several people has been transferred to military management. It is not difficult to conform to this official document format, but it is not easy to write it clearly and let superiors recognize it at a glance. The key is what harm will be caused by each suggestion, how to make it profit and eliminate the disadvantages, and do early prevention. A true expert boss can see at a glance how his subordinates master their jobs from the predicted disadvantages, profit and removal of disadvantages and prevention. On the contrary, the superiors and laymen will only look at what benefits this suggestion can bring, and they neither understand nor pay attention to the disadvantages.

This is the title of the official document. Can the boss see the title and identify it clearly, and the subordinates will know whether he is an expert. On the contrary, the boss can also make a rough estimate of the subordinate's abilities from this. Can this person take on important responsibilities or only do daily affairs?

Shisanlang and Yao Shouxin were both special officials brought out by Du Zhongxiao. After being trained a lot, they naturally understood these things.

Guilds and gangs, whether official or private, will inevitably cause damage to business as long as they monopolize the market and control the price of supply. The prices of goods are high, but the manufacturers will not benefit, and this is even more so for ordinary people. Guilds and gangs will benefit from high prices, not only making a lot, but more importantly, the profit is stable.

As a prohibited object, the government's alcohol tax clearly shows this. raising alcohol tax, raising prices, reducing private consumption, increasing the number of people who make their own wine, and increasing the price without increasing the quantity. Reducing alcohol tax will promote consumption among the people and increase the quantity. Compared with the two, alcohol tax is basically fixed. However, because alcohol is a consumer product, the government not only calculates economic accounts, but will set the alcohol tax at a suitable amount.

Guilds act similarly to government officials. As managers, they hope to have the highest income as possible. They are neither producers nor consumers-oriented sellers. Since their income is basically fixed, they will naturally tend to increase prices, save management costs, and obtain additional benefits. If production technology develops, the chamber of commerce will still give priority to suppressing production, increasing prices, and ensuring their own interests.

The first-established associations were mainly producers, and there were few guild-like natures. The officials and supervisors supplemented their shortcomings. With the survival of the fittest, some of them became bigger and became new guilds. At this time, the role of the officials and supervisors was to destroy the new chambers of commerce and maintain the vitality of production and commerce.

Du Zhongxiao has been on Jingxi Road for several years, and this business system has been established by himself, so he naturally knows more than anyone else. Unfortunately, Jingxi Road has been in a period of releasing vitality. He cannot find an opportunity to try it out and destroy part of the guild's power that has grown up again.

There are many such examples in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Not to mention the widespread guilds at this time, Jingxi Road has already tasted the sweetness. The big salt merchants in later generations used official power to monopolize the sales of salt industry, and would not reduce the price of salt, nor would they benefit the people, and they were rich enough to compete with the country, but they were just convenient for the management of the court. When they entered the industrial society, some countries' agriculture had unified associations, and their existence would not benefit producers or consumers. But they would only serve as management tools and have a stable role.

The Iron and Steel Corps is the most economically vibrant area on Jingxi Road. The Yingtianxiang Army concentrated on training here, which opened the horizons of many officers and soldiers. The Yingtian affairs are different from this. They are semi-military management, and everything seems to be well organized and life is stable, but they do not have the economic vitality of the Iron and Steel Corps that will grow wildly.

Carrying the prey all the way back to the garrison of the Thirteen Lang Ma Army, Yang Wenguang, Zhao Zi and Dou Shunqing got the news and were already waiting there.

After seeing the ceremony, Shisanlang ordered his subordinates to pack up their prey, cook them in a big pot, and prepare a wine banquet. Yao Shouxin ordered his followers to go back to his residence and ask for some good grapes to drink from there. Now is the season for fruits and vegetables to go on the market. Although the military base is a little remote, it is not short of them.

They each sat down and Dou Shunqing said, "Master, the roasted meat I ate that day was good, why didn't I prepare today?"
