    The measures proposed by Chen Ziang, such as labor relief, construction of irrigation canals, and road construction, won the unanimous consent of Qin An and others.

    ?Because through this method of work-for-relief, not only can the refugees have food and wages, but it will also greatly improve the infrastructure of Yunxi Mansion.

    The most important thing is that Chen Ziang asked the Yunxi government to take the lead in setting up some commercial banks, and then organized those wealthy gentry to actively participate in the investment.

    This is tantamount to transforming those rich gentry from ordinary small farmers into businessmen, and they will be the protagonists of commercial trade in Yunxi Prefecture in the future.

    These country gentry and rich men guard their land all their lives. Even if they have money, they either put it in the cellar to mold, or they continue to buy land.

    The country gentry and rich lords continue to acquire more land and own some fixed assets, but the land of the common people is getting less and less.

    However, these fixed land assets further restricted the development of country gentry and rich men, and they could only be a country rich man in their lifetime.

    Now Chen Ziang's series of policies will turn the dead money of the gentry and rich into living money, and will also activate the business of Yunxi Mansion.

    ?For example, Wu Zhenrui of Wujiabao now, relying on the support provided by Yunxi Mansion, established a small pig farm in just one month, purchased more than 100 piglets from various places and started trial breeding.

    This is because Wu Zhenrui is too timid. Another squire is very courageous. He invested in opening a chicken farm, and the number of hatched chickens has reached 70,000 to 80,000.

    Moreover, his chicken farm has already received purchase orders from the Qinghe Army in advance. As long as these chicks grow up, they can be turned into money immediately.

    He not only invested in setting up a chicken farm, but also participated in several commercial firms led by the government by investing in shares. He was more adventurous than most squires.

    The Qinghe army encouraged the commercial economy, because it was not only the main source of tax revenue in the future, but also avoided the vicious circle of rich people buying land and expropriating land with ordinary people.

    "General, at your call, our Yunxi Mansion has successively established more than 30 commercial firms. In addition to the original various shops, the houses on both sides of the main road in the city are not enough. I heard that the prices have gone up.  What about it?"

    Following Chen Ziang and his group's encouragement of business and trade, many shrewd and wealthy people took advantage of the trend to invest in this vigorous business trend.

    Because they no longer have land, they have to find ways to earn more money, and with the guidance of Chen Ziang and others, a basic commercial economy has naturally been formed.

    It's just that most of what they are involved in now is food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they don't have the ability to do things like mineral smelting and weapon manufacturing, and they don't think they need further guidance from Chen Ziang and the others.

    Chen Ziang is naturally aware of the changes in the city. When they first entered the city, the city was lifeless. In a prefectural city of Nuo Da, there were only more than 20 small shops here and there, and most of the rest were residential areas.

    But now with the guidance of Chen Ziang and the others, there are already more than two hundred shops in the city, with everything you need for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

    After the Qinghe army soldiers on vacation entered the city, they were able to buy some things they needed for life, which made the city lively.

    "Now the city has become lively, but with the establishment of shops and commercial firms from all walks of life, I would like to ask the general to show you how to collect commercial tax and who will collect it."

    In the past, when the imperial court was in charge of Yunxi Mansion, because there were few shops and businesses, and they all collected taxes according to a fixed amount.

    As long as it is a commercial store, it doesn't matter how much your turnover is, whether you earn money or not, anyway, you have to pay a fixed amount of taxes every month, and at the same time, you have to use part of it to honor officials at all levels and those ghosts and monsters.

    Cloth houses, brothels, bodyguards, etc. backed by officials have to pay a few silver coins in tax every month, and those peddlers who sell melons, fruits and vegetables also have to pay a few silver coins in tax. This kind of fixed tax, although  It is convenient to put away, but it is extremely unreasonable.

    At the beginning of encouraging industry, commerce and free trade, Chen Zi'ang asked Qin'an and the others to abolish this method of collecting tax by fixed amount, and re-determine a new business tax.

    However, Qin An and the others were limited by fixed thinking. After thinking for a long time, they did not come up with a feasible plan, so they had to ask Chen Ziang again for advice.

    "I propose to set up a separate business department, which is responsible for the management of industry and commerce."

    Chen Ziang didn't blame Qin An, after all, he contributed a lot to turning Yunxi Mansion into what it is now in a short period of time.

    "Business?"

    "YesThe business department is responsible for formulating some industrial and commercial rules, and all businesses and shops must abide by the rules.  "

    "For example, people who do business in my Yunxi Prefecture not only have to register with the government's business department, but the business department also has to issue them a license to do business, so that they can be hung in the most conspicuous position."

    "This is easy to handle. Isn't it just to formulate a brand? Now the difficulty is how to collect taxes. According to what you said, General, we have to collect taxes based on their turnover."

    "But we can't go door-to-door to count how much they sell every day, and most of the merchants are ungrateful. If they lie, we can't find out."

    Qin An is really in a dilemma now, because he has been thinking about it for several nights, but he can't think of a practical solution.

    If they really send people to go door-to-door to calculate how much they sell every day, and then collect taxes according to the ratio, they will need a lot of manpower.

    And with the increase of shops and firms, they will also randomly increase their manpower, and if the other party conceals the report, they will also be kept in the dark.

    Seeing Qin An who was frowning, Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army, Yuan Jie and others also kept silent, because they were still able to march and fight. When they talked about the recent New Deal, they were also full of bewilderment.

    "We are going to set up a new business department, so the tax collection will naturally be collected by the business department, but I have to pay attention to the method."

    "The cloths, salt and iron, and grains of the various shops in the city are all shipped from outside the city, and they all need to pass through our various road cards and city gates."

    "In the future, if they want to purchase and transport goods, they must go through our road cards and city gates to issue a road guide in advance. The road guide will have the quantity, name, etc. of the goods for random inspection. If there is no such thing, it can be ignored  Release, or even confiscate the goods.¡±

    "When they issue a road guide, the business department can know what goods they transported, the quantity of the goods, and with the record, they want to pay less tax or not, it is well documented."

    "And you don't need to go door-to-door to collect taxes. They can go to the business department to pay taxes by themselves on time. You only need to check whether it is correct or not."

    Chen Ziang smiled and said: "Of course, this is just a list I gave. Every industry is different, how much tax to collect, how to collect it, and how to implement it. Your government, government, and business departments need to further formulate rules and improve them."

    After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Qin An's brows also relaxed, because Chen Ziang opened up a new way of thinking for him.

    If they followed what Chen Ziang said, not only would it be much easier for them, but they could also guarantee that nothing would be missed.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
