- No wonder rich people like to have a few supportive people around them.
If I don¡¯t give you a chance like this, how can you pretend to be so?
Liu Mingqi was very satisfied with the attitude of the old deputy prime minister.
He smiled and said: "The court must have a source of income that can be guaranteed at any time. Only in this way can we have the capital to survive. Do you know what these absolutely stable incomes are?"
Everyone looked at Luo Nanjing.
It¡¯s not that the prime ministers don¡¯t know, but they want to give Luo Nanjing a chance to show off.
Although Luo Nanjing is basically the only candidate for the position of Minister of Household Affairs, he still needs the approval of the new emperor.
Luo Nanjing himself was very calm and said calmly when he saw the situation: "If I had to let Wei Chen choose, my first choice would be the salt industry, because no matter what circumstances the salt industry encounters, it will definitely be able to make it." .
?Then the second one is iron. Although the mining of iron also relies on labor and mineral veins, judging from the current situation, it can be mined for at least another three to five hundred years without any problem.
The common people can live without meat, but they cannot live without salt. Similarly, many people's homes and many industries are in need of iron, so it is also a stable source of income. "
"good."
Liu Mingqi nodded, "Is there anything else you can think of?"
"In general, there are, such as tea, porcelain, silk, tung oil, etc., these are much more stable than field taxes." Luo Nanjing continued: "It's just that they are greatly affected by weather and environmental factors, so they cannot be used as life-savers at critical times. rely."
"right!"
Liu Mingqi nodded and said: "Now let's sum it up, the most unreliable thing is the maintenance of the fields. This can be reduced to nothing by a little flood, drought, hail and other factors.
The second unreliable thing is business tax. If there is a natural or man-made disaster and the production of various commodities is greatly affected, then merchants will not be able to do much business, and business taxes will naturally be reduced.
The next thing you said is that it is generally reliable, but the most reliable ones are salt and iron. Apart from these two, you can't think of anything else. "
"It should have been like this from ancient times to the present." Prime Minister Cao Yi was very curious, "I heard from Your Majesty, I think you have any better and more stable source of tax revenue? I'm sorry for my ignorance, I really didn't expect it. .¡±
"Actually, I have always been by your side, but you didn't realize it." Liu Mingqi smiled and asked Luo Nanjing, "How much commercial tax did Prince Yu's Palace and Prince De's Palace pay last year? How was it collected specifically?"
Luo Nanjing thought for a moment and recalled: "Last year, Prince De's Palace and Prince Yu's Palace paid taxes together with the clan chamber of commerce, and paid a total of 10 million taels of silver."
"so much?"
Liu Renhuai only entered the capital at the end of the year, and it had only been less than four months since he started working as deputy prime minister. In the meantime, there were incidents such as the murder of the prince and the coma of Emperor Jing He, so he didn't know that the clan chamber of commerce actually had such high taxes.
The total is equivalent to the tax on tea plus porcelain!
¡°Could it be that those things from Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion and Prince De¡¯s Mansion are really so profitable! ?
Because all the sales of the Clan Chamber of Commerce are goods taken out from Prince Yu¡¯s Palace and Prince De¡¯s Palace, basically one-third of the taxes paid by the Clan Chamber of Commerce are paid by Liu Mingqi¡¯s family.
The tax rate of the Clan Chamber of Commerce is based on thirty-one tax on the price of goods. Does that prove that their Clan Chamber of Commerce has sold a total of 300 million taels of silver?
As if reading Liu Renhuai's thoughts, Nangong Ji explained: "Mr. Liu, although these ten million taels of silver are a bit too much, these are sales proceeds, and the profit is not that much.
??And most of the profits are divided among the three thousand clans, which is a year's profit. Although His Majesty's family has made a little more money, this is still legal business income. "
¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± At this time zhuiwe n.org Zhang Si
Liu Renhuai shook his hand, "This is a bit too amazing! According to this, the stable taxes that His Majesty wants to tell us are included in this, right? It should be cigarettes? Sugar?"
no doubt.
Among the civilian products of Yuwangfu and Dewangfu, these two are the most profitable and have the largest sales volume.
There are also a lot of soap sales, but it only costs one or two silver a piece, and one piece can be used for a long time.
The sales volume of briquettes is the largest among all commodities combined, but they only cost two cents each.
Cigarettes are different from sugar. Not only is the price high, but the consumption is?The imperial court can get thirty million taels of tax revenue? and five years later, it will be three hundred million taels of silver! ? "
"right!"
Facing everyone who was already stunned, Liu Mingqi nodded and said: "Cigarettes are actually addictive, and long-term smoking is not good for your health. This is why I ask you to use cigarette holders as much as possible. And this kind of thing is not good for your health." Something that is bad and addictive should not be heavily taxed, so how should we treat it?¡±
"But heavy taxes will cause damage to production workshops and smokers." Ge Songdao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, of course you can make less money on your cigarettes, or you don't need to increase the price because of heavy taxes. But there will definitely be others in the future. Making cigarettes, right? They may just be some small and medium-sized workshops, wouldn't such heavy taxes ruin them? And then force smokers to have a greater burden?"
Nangong Ji shook his head at the side: "Ge Xiang, what you said is wrong! Your Majesty said that cigarettes are not related to people's livelihood. They are not related to food, clothing, and housing, so you don't have to smoke. You don't have to buy them if you have no money. .What kind of burden is this? Do I need to spend money, but I have no money? Is this a burden that I need to worry about? "
Nangong Ji¡¯s words left Ge Songdao speechless.
Liu Mingqi almost gave Nangong Ji a thumbs up.
This old guy is really a great compliment!
Liu Mingqi coughed slightly and said: "Master Nangong is right, I think so too! It's okay not to buy if you don't have money, but if you want to buy, it won't be cheap Of course, regarding the price, you guys Don¡¯t worry. When there are more and more cigarettes in the future, I will consider drastically reducing the price to 100 cents or even 50 cents per pack. In this case, more people can smoke and thus charge heavy taxes."
"But what if they can't afford it because it's too expensive?" Ma Haoqiu said in surprise and joy.
Cao Yi understood, "So Your Majesty just said that cigarettes are an addictive thing It should be difficult to resist smoking, right? That's why Your Majesty said that this is a stable source of tax revenue, because There will always be people who smoke, and it won¡¯t decrease.¡±
"right!"
Liu Mingqi smiled slightly: "Although cigarettes are not like eating, to smokers, they are as important as eating, so they will always provide us with stable taxes. Don't worry, everyone!"
"If you can steadily collect more than 100 million taels of tax revenue" Liu Renhuai said thoughtfully: "Then I can guarantee that the entire court will support all your measures on the cigarette issue!"
The people next to me are nodding.
This is not nonsense!
The imperial court¡¯s normal annual monetary tax is about 96 million taels of silver.
"If cigarettes alone could receive a tax of 100 million taels of silver, all Dakang officials and even ordinary people would support it!
