Chapter 1235: Response to Smuggling and Rejection of Private Construction
"Make some small military coats. Since the Tubo tribe has become our Tang people, provide them with supplies first."
In Lijiazhuangzi, Li Yi, who had returned, arranged for the workshop to make small military coats.
Ordinarily, even if small military coats were made, they should be worn by the children of the soldiers at the border first.
However, the situation was special at this time, so glycerin could only be sent to the families of the soldiers, and the clothes should be provided to the tribe first.
"Boss, do you need to send hazelnuts?" Song De asked again.
"No, there are not enough for our own people. Send some soap. The children over there have chapped hands and faces."
Li Yi calculated that giving daily necessities was more effective than giving snacks.
After the matter was decided, a batch of things was sent out from Chang'an, and it was estimated that it would take until the twelfth lunar month to arrive.
Zhang Jiuling came back with many pigeons he raised in Guangzhou.
The collected taxes went into the national treasury, and the Yan family and accomplices of Shiyuan County were sent to the prison and kept under guard first.
The specific treatment needs to wait until the evidence of Shiyuan County is obtained.
After Zhang Jiuling finished the handover, he came to find Li Yi, and Bi Gou and others followed him.
Anyway, there is no difference between working in the Political Affairs Hall and working in Li's Manor. There are enough people to hold a small court meeting.
The key is that the food in Li's Manor is good, the house is heated, and the temperature is controlled neither too hot nor too cold.
"Three million six hundred thousand strings, it's just the beginning. My Tang merchant ships haven't run out to trade yet, otherwise..."
Bi Gou thought about the money, and the fiscal revenue of 30 million strings was there.
Not counting the rent, the rent is still used to pay the officials, and the officials' income is now twice as high as before.
The salaries of officials in Jingzhao Prefecture and Henan Prefecture are more than twice as much as before. If they make mistakes because of lack of money, they will be punished to death.
Song Jing was silent. He had always opposed taxation before, but now that he saw the money, he had nothing to say.
Other barbarian merchants still exchanged things, and Tang merchants still sent goods to exchange.
No one objected, and there was also a huge profit.
If there is no tax, the Tang Dynasty and foreign merchants will make more money, and they will take all the money, which is not good for the Tang Dynasty court.
"The arrested Yan family of Saiyuan County can actually get more than 200,000 strings of cash in a short period of time. It turns out that maritime trade is a good thing."
Su Yan was surprised. It is said that being an official in Guangzhou is not good. Now it seems that if you think about it, you can make countless money!
"Are there any smugglers?" Li Yi does not consider how much money he can make. Isn't it normal for the customs to make money?
Zhang Jiuling shook his head lightly: "Everyone is watching the rewards for general goods. They wish that others would smuggle once and report it, which is easier than making money by buying and selling things by themselves."
Li Yi frowned: "The coastline is too long. I believe that with the increase in the total trade volume, especially the large fleet of the Tang Dynasty, there must be someone who wants to evade taxes."
The merchants of the Tang Dynasty recorded when they went out, and when they came back after the trade, they collected the 10% tariff on exports and the 20% on imports together.
The reason why they did not pay when they went out was because the things were not valuable in the Tang Dynasty.
The gross profit of 30% was lost all of a sudden, and the net profit was not 30% less.
Facing high taxes, can merchants not think of ways to escape?
"You can send people to guard at suitable locations." Bi Gou suggested.
"If it were me, I would use the method of large ships stopping in the sea at night and small boats moving houses to transport goods. Locations where large ships cannot easily dock? Small boats are no problem."
Li Yi casually gave an example to crack Bi Gou's arrangement.
"According to this? Can't stop them?" Bi Gou sighed.
"Yes, no need to stop them, let them follow the rules." Li Yi thought about it and thought of a way.
He said to everyone: "Li's manor will have new good things made? Put them outside and they will be valuable.
Anyone who wants to get the goods must trade at the designated place. If you want to evade taxes, you are not eligible to participate.
As long as the profit is large enough, merchants will naturally be willing to pay the tax. In addition..."
Li Yi then mentioned the method of severe punishment. If you smuggle once, others don't know, but after a long time, the wind will inevitably leak out.
If you are caught, you will directly confiscate your home, no matter how much money you made before, it will all be gone.
As long as it is raided a few times, others will not dare to move. The fine is not based on the quantity. Everything will be gone, and the family business will disappear.
Those who participate in smuggling will be punished, and those who want to save money will be afraid.
In this way, most of the gaps are blocked, and a small part... there is no way.
He had many means at that time, and there were still people smuggling and then caught, but the difference was that their homes would not be raided.
Li Yi didn't know if there were still people smuggling if their homes were raided at that time?
"When I came back, I heard that some businessmen were going to find a place to build a cement factory and then use concrete to build a dock."
Zhang Jiuling mentioned something. Some of the current docks are directly docked, and the location is better.
In addition, there are piles of stones and wood extending out.
After the method of firing cement was announced, merchants were tempted. They wanted to build one and then sell things on it.
Or after the ship docked, the porters had to go up to work and collect a sum of money.
Then build a warehouse and charge for keeping things.
In this way, the Maritime Customs will collect taxes and set up a point there.
"Not allowed." Li Yi was firm: "The scale, quality, and operation of the dock must be controlled by the court."
"How about asking them to follow the rules?" Yao Chong believed that privately repairing the dock would save the court money.
"Disputes will arise, such as the price of goods at the dock, whether the food provided will cause poisoning.
The builders of the dock used whether the helpers could go up to work as a condition to form power and the safety of the warehouse.
As well as assisting in smuggling and helping to conceal the quality and quantity of goods.
The Municipal Shipping Department sent more people, which increased the cost, and the few people sent there were unable to keep an eye on it. "
Li Yi knows how profitable it is to operate a terminal, including food and accommodation, warehousing, berths, and transportation.
Money can actually be earned by businessmen and paid taxes.
But it is difficult to manage. If a merchant sees something good at the dock, will he kill people and steal the goods? Even if the warehouse is set on fire, it is said to be burned out.
Whether it was Yi merchants or merchants from the Tang Dynasty, if they suffered huge losses, where could they go to reason?
The court cannot send people to help manage it, then whose dock is it?
If there is a problem with the dock built by the government, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net will be responsible for the official responsibility and will pay the compensation.
When collecting taxes and fees, we must provide businessmen with a good business environment.
Only in this way can more merchants be attracted to participate and the scale of trade can be expanded.
"Shall we repair it?" Bi Gou was about to pay. He could think of profit.
"I can repair, I produce the drawings and construction methods, do you think I will become a shareholder? I also manage, yes, especially management, I am the most proficient."
Li Yi pointed at himself, he meant to give me some benefits.
"Xiao Yi, you don't need to buy shares, you just take out the things, no one dares to stop you." Bi Gou said as if he cares about you.
"Yes, you are allowed to come up with ideas without investing in shares." Yao Chong supported.
"Ah? You..." Li Yi looked at a group of people carefully. Some people were silent but nodded.
