Chapter 319: Terrifying Profits of the Comptoir!
"Commodity circulation?"
The ministers couldn't help but be stunned, and Su Xun asked: "Commodity circulation is trade?" ”
Luo Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's trade!" ”
"You know, the richest are the merchants, if there are more merchants, they will naturally pay more taxes, but heavy taxes can keep the number of merchants in balance!"
Luo Chen swept around and continued to speak: "The prosperity of commerce can promote the development of the whole country, and farmers can also make a living from farming, and low taxes can make them continue to get rich!" ”
"People, only when they fill their stomachs, can they have the mood and energy to do other things, and they will create greater value!"
"Your Highness is right!" Su Xun nodded lightly, and then asked in a deep voice: "However, I am afraid that it will be ...... by relying on commercial taxes alone."
Luo Chen instantly understood what Su Xun meant, and said with a smile: "Su Xiang, do you know that my Xiaoyao Commercial Bank has a month's profit now?" ”
Su Xun shook his head suddenly, and at the same time was a little puzzled, not understanding why Luo Chen asked like this!
Luo Chen smiled: "Generally speaking, it's about 500,000 taels a month!" Even, in many cases, it can reach six or seven hundred thousand taels! ”
As soon as Luo Chen's words came out, all the ministers were shocked, and even their faces gradually turned into incredible!
"How is that possible?"
Su Xun was also frightened, a conservative estimate of 500,000 taels a month, and in a year, that is 6 million taels, you know, the tax revenue of Daxia is only seven or eight million taels a year!
In fact, if you calculate it seriously, the tax revenue in Daxia is abnormal, first, the entire Jiangbei region has not received any revenue in recent years, and even the imperial court has to constantly allocate silver taels.
And in the Jiangnan area, the water is too mixed, it is impossible not to be a little greasy, as for how big the cat is greasy, this is really not clear for the time being!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is still very simple to break 10 million taels of taxes a year, but even so, it is enough to make people shocked!
As for what Luo Chen said about 500,000 taels a month, what he said is not an exaggeration, of course, if 500,000 taels is converted into heroic martyrs, it will cost at least 100,000 altars!
However, can Luo Chen's Xiaoyao Commercial Bank really sell 100,000 jars a month?
When people are not, the heroes are mainly targeting families, counting the surrounding cities, the total sales volume is only 20,000 or 30,000 altars a month, where is the most profitable!
There is no doubt about table salt!
Although Luochen sells edible salt very cheaply, and even at a low price, why is it still so profitable?
Because, today's Xiaoyao Commercial Bank not only monopolizes the salt industry in the entire Chang'an City, including several cities around Chang'an, and even now Shen Wansan has bought a manor outside Chang'an City, and let the forbidden army send 300 people to wait day and night!
Salt is a necessity of life, and the salt sold by Xiaoyao Trading House is much better than green salt, and the price is terrible.
In the past, brushing teeth was the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy, but now even commoners can afford to brush their teeth with refined salt!
"This is just the profit of my Xiaoyao Commercial Bank, if all the commercial houses in the world are included, it is simply terrible, if they are taxed at a rate of 50%, you say, how much tax should be paid in a year?"
Luo Chen glanced at Su Xun with a smile and continued: "Besides, we directly reduce agricultural taxes, not exempt agricultural taxes, so that the income of the imperial court will at least double compared to before!" ”
"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness King Yin said is reasonable, and the minister thinks that you can give it a try!"
Li Zheng was silent for a long time and said: "It's just that I'm afraid that a complete charter is needed, and even, the law needs to be changed!" ”
"Change!"
The ministers were suddenly shocked, and Su Xun also had a lot more solemn on his face, since ancient times, there have been countless strong people who have changed the law, but there are very few who can succeed!
"It's a bit serious to say that the law has changed." Luo Chen shook his head and smiled, and said: "We only need to add commercial law on the basis of the original law and continuously improve it!" ”
"Besides, now my business in Daxia is not developed, not to mention that I want to compare with Western Chu, even if it is compared to Daqin, Dazhou is also inferior, so don't be in a hurry at this time!"
Emperor Xia nodded slightly, and said, "What King Yin said is good, Master Su, you are responsible for supervising this matter!" ”
"No!"
"Your Majesty, now that the forbidden army has rushed to the eastern border, the top priority should be to quickly resolve the eastern battle!" Xu Chang said in a deep voice: "Whether it is war or peace, you should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
"Your Majesty, what Xu Shangshu said is very true, now, presumably the two reinforcements have arrived in the Stygian Valley, if nothing else, it should be defended, but I am ...... in Great Xia."
Before Zhao Shi'an finished speaking, Luo Chen stood up directly: "We must send troops and teach them a lesson!" ”
Luo Chen's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said coldly: "Since they dare to take advantage of people's danger, then we can't be merciful and give them a bloody lesson!" ”
Su Xun frowned slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, now the treasury ...... I'm afraid it won't last long, besides, the soldiers have just returned from the south, and I'm afraid that the repeated battles will ......."
Luo Chen waved his hand to stop it, and said in a solemn voice: "War will not come because you are not ready, and soldiers have no choice, the only thing they have to do is to be ready at all times!" ”
"Your Highness said well, our soldiers of Daxia have never been afraid of war, since Donglai dares to violate my border pass, then fuck it!"
Zhao Shi'an's fiery temper directly exploded: "Your Majesty, you give an order, I promise, beat Donglai to the ground!" ”
"Old Puppet Zhao, don't mess around!" Su Xun's face suddenly turned dark, and he said in a deep voice: "National events, how can it be child's play!" ”
"Hey!" Zhao Shi'an's eyes widened suddenly: "Su Laoyin, it's not for you to go to the battlefield, you roar a fart!" ”
"Old man Zhao, ...... you" Su Xun's face turned red with anger......
"Alright, what are you two going to become!" Seeing that the two old guys were almost fighting above the court, Emperor Xia's face suddenly turned dark.
"Humph! You old horseman, the old man is not as knowledgeable as you! Su Xun snorted lightly.
Zhao Shi'an gradually smiled: "I don't accept and wait for a fight!" ”
The ministers looked at this old bastard so shamelessly, and immediately turned their heads and secretly dug their noses!
"Father, Su Xiang, leave the matter of grain and grass to me to solve, the top priority should be to let the army go out immediately!"
Su Xun's face suddenly turned solemn: "If this battle continues, I'm afraid it won't end in a short time!" ”
Guo Jia smiled lightly: "My lord, we are sitting in the Dark Valley, as long as the army of 100,000 is enough to keep Donglai out of the country, but Donglai is a flat river, and a cavalry can completely fight Tianlai!" ”
Luo Chen nodded: "Father, you don't need too many people, as long as Zhao Guogong takes the Long Xiang army over, it's enough!" ”
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said directly: "Shi'an, it's up to you to go on a trip yourself!" ”。
"No!"
