Chapter 230
Looking at it this way, Ying Zheng has no opinion.
If you can repair the road and reduce the pressure on Daqin, why not?
It's just that after thinking about it, Ying Zheng was a little puzzled: "In this case, will those businessmen agree?" "
"It's just a concrete road, how are they going to profit from it?"
Hearing this, Yingchen smiled: "This is to talk about the importance of this cement road." "
"Dad, think about it, can't this cement road be used for commercial purposes on weekdays except for military use?"
"If a businessman takes half the time to travel from Xianyang to Luoyang than before."
"So on this road, even if they need to spend extra money, will they agree?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered a little "one hundred and seventy".
After a while, Ying Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's true.
Soldiers are fast, and so are merchants.
Along the way, people eat horses, if they can reduce half the time, how much expenditure should be reduced, and how much benefit will be increased invisibly!
In this way, these businessmen in Xianyang and Luoyang will never mind paying more tolls.
In this way, for this road, not only will it not become a burden on Great Qin, but it will also become an important financial source for Great Qin!
This son is really amazing!
A project that was destined to cost the imperial court, and was even scolded by countless people for working the people and wasting money, and building a large number of civil projects, has become a good thing that the court, businessmen, and the people can all benefit.
This kind of ability to turn decay into magic, Ying Zheng really hasn't seen it from anyone.
If he had been able to discover the ability of this precious son a few years earlier, then whether it was immigrating to the border or building the Great Wall and Chidao, I am afraid that he would not have been scolded by the whole world for winning the government.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng took a deep breath, and then patted Ying Chen: "You have it, Dad, I generally understand!" "
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Hearing this, Ying Chen nodded, and then thought of another question: "Dad, since the time is ripe, I think we Daqin can levy another tax!" "
As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng became interested.
No matter which emperor it is, as long as he hears someone tell him that he can get money from this, he will definitely be interested.
Think about why Jiajing spoils Yan Song so much?
Think about why Qianlong is so pampered and Shen?
These two emperors may not be regarded as ancient emperors, and they cannot reach the height of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
But these two emperors are definitely rare smart people among emperors.
Can they not know that Yan Song and He Shen are corrupt and pervert the law?
Can they not know that Yan Song and He Shen are selling official mantles?
Of course they knew, but with Yan Song and He Shen, they were able to do some things as they wanted.
For example, the money needed for Jiajing alchemy.
For example, Qianlong built the Old Summer Palace and spent money on the south of the Yangtze River seven times.
It's not just these private benefits, Jiajing's pacification of the Japanese and Qianlong's martial arts, these are all military exploits piled up with real money.
So when Yingzheng came here, when Yingchen said that he could tax again, this undoubtedly made Yingzheng very interested.
And Ying Zheng knew that his son, the method he said, would definitely not endanger the Jiangshan Society of Daqin.
This is the difference between Yingzheng and ordinary emperors.
Ying Zheng wants money, but he can also see whether the money is dangerous or not to harm Daqin's long-term interests.
And like Jiajing and Qianlong, he doesn't care about the long-term or not.
As long as you can get money, you're my good partner.
As for what will happen later. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
When people are dead, who cares about what happens after they die?
Here, seeing that Yingzheng was interested, Yingchen said: "Business tax." "
As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up again.
Speaking of which, Daqin basically does not collect commercial taxes.
On weekdays, taxes are also levied on basic necessities such as salt and iron tools.
Now Yingchen said that he wanted to collect taxes like a businessman, and Yingzheng naturally knew that this meant to collect taxes from businessmen in an all-round way.
In this regard, Yingchen said: "It was normal for Daqin to only collect taxes on basic living materials before. "
"Because Daqin at that time couldn't even eat enough, how could other commercial activities come from... 0"
"But that's no longer the case."
"First of all, with the three treasures of grain, the people can basically have more than enough food and clothing."
"And when they have money to spare, people will start trying to buy something other than to survive."
"Clothes, accessories, other things that don't just meet everyday needs."
"As a result, people can move from how to survive to how to make their lives better."
"One is survival, the other is life, and this is a world of different circumstances."
"Under such circumstances, businessmen and commercial activities will definitely become the mainstream of Daqin in the future."
"Therefore, while we are still in the embryonic period of businessmen and commercial activities, the establishment of specific rules and regulations is undoubtedly a kind of foreshadowing for the future."
"I believe that in a few years, the taxes that Great Qin receives from merchants will exceed the agricultural taxes."
"So, business tax must be collected."
Listening to Yingchen's words, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
"Then how are you going to collect these business taxes?"
Ying Zheng asked.
"Like the agricultural tax, make a benefit division."
"If the annual profit is less than 3,000 yuan, pay a layer of commercial tax!"
"If the profit is between 3,000 and 30,000 yuan, pay two 5.8 layers of commercial tax."
"If the profit is between 30,000 and 300,000 yuan, pay 30% of the commercial tax."
"If the profit exceeds 300,000 yuan, it will be collected according to the commercial tax of 40%, and the maximum is only 40%."
Hearing Yingchen's words, Yingzheng couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Chen'er, isn't this a little too ruthless?"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Ying Chen nodded: "It's indeed a little ruthless." "
"So next, I hope that Daqin will abolish all tax rates except land tax and commercial tax, such as population tax, conscription, and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes."
"Then what if Great Qin needs to recruit people to build other large-scale projects in the future?"
I have to say that what Ying Zheng thinks about is not unreasonable.
