749. Commercial Tax Guarantee (II)

Soon, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also came over, and they also heard about this commercial tax mortgage. And they also felt that Jingwen was not brain-pumping, and actually chose to use commercial taxes to return it. A county's business tax is just a small amount of money to repay such a large loan, how long will it take to pay it off. The two prime ministers are veterans for many years, so they naturally know that this may not be over for decades. What's the point of that, isn't that what Jingwen did for himself?

However, although this business tax is very small, it is also a very prudent thing to use as collateral. The majesty of a country's government cannot be violated, especially by guaranteeing the country's future tax revenues, which is obviously something that no one has done in the past. This kind of thing, there will definitely be zĂ i controversy, and if there is no controversy, then there is a problem at all. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are also analyzing the feasibility of this matter, and they take some very rare commercial taxes to mortgage in exchange for this money? If this works, then won't the world be able to mortgage the business tax in exchange for a lot of money?

"Your Majesty, now we have to consider whether this can work. If you use commercial tax as collateral security, in exchange for a large sum of money. However, how long will this be repaid in the future, and if the repayment period is too long, it may not work at all. At that time, I am afraid that if the payment is not paid, it will damage the credibility of the imperial court. It is not easy for the imperial court to establish credibility, and it must not lose credibility to the people for the sake of money! Fang Xuanling said.

And Fang Xuanling's words have already agreed in principle that commercial tax can be considered as collateral. But the biggest problem is the time to repay, if the repayment takes decades to be repaid, then the risk is too great. Moreover, if it takes decades to pay it off, then I am afraid that no businessman will be willing to borrow. And, if things work today, a resolution is formed. Will other local governments also use commercial taxes as collateral guarantees? If these accumulated taxes can be exchanged for a large amount of money, then the development of the local area can be faster. This also caused a cascade of effects, so everyone was worried.

The prerequisite is that the repayment cycle cannot be too long, otherwise the businessman will not be willing to borrow.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the commercial tax can be increased a lot, not as trivial as it is now." Jingwen said.

And Li Shimin said indifferently: "No matter how much commercial tax there is, how much can it be?" ”

And Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you follow the commercial tax plan I want, then I'm afraid you will be able to repay this huge amount of 200,000 yuan in seven to ten years." ”

"What?" Everyone present was shocked.

Jingwen said that the repayment can be completed in seven to ten years, doesn't that mean that you can get 200,000 yuan in commercial tax in seven to ten years? 200,000 guan. It is almost equal to one-fiftieth of Datang's current annual income, and if a county's entire finance is allowed to repay the loan, it will have to repay the loan for more than ten years. And now it is amazing that just one county business tax can be repaid in ten years. And, if the business tax is really so huge, how come officials in the past didn't find out? If the commercial tax can be squeezed in this way, then the country must not be so rich!

In the current Datang, finance is the number one priority. Now, every time the tax is collected, it is immediately naturalized by the Turks. There is also the development of Jiangnan, and even the various needs of army reform. And these things were all proposed by Jingwen, or personally participated. Therefore, everyone really loves and hates Jingwen. Jingwen is too good at spending money. And now Jingwen actually said that business taxes can bring a lot of wealth, which shocked them very much.

Now the Tang Dynasty is full of "poor and crazy" officials, and if they hear that Jingwen can bring a lot of wealth, then they will definitely support it. As for business taxes. Everyone didn't think about this in the past, at most, it was just the government sending people to the Western Regions to do business. Many of the people sent to the Western Regions to do business were actually officials of Taifu Temple. They officially organized caravans, and the profits were used to subsidize the government. Therefore, the state finances have not collapsed, and various reforms can be sustained.

Therefore, everyone has not experienced the benefits of business tax, so they are also very curious about how business tax can obtain so much wealth. Now that this is the case, let's listen to what Jingwen has to say.

"Your Majesty, if you follow the minister's method, the commercial tax can be increased a lot. Moreover, it will not cause the merchant to rebound. Jingwen said.

And Jingwen said that raising the business tax will not cause a backlash, which immediately makes everyone feel strange. As officials, we all know that if there is too much tax, the people will also rebound. It would be a very good thing if we could collect more taxes without causing a backlash from the people. Now Jingwen actually promised to get more taxes without causing a backlash, so who wouldn't want it! Which official and emperor would dislike the good financial situation of his country? After all, the royal expenditure comes from the tax treasury.

"How?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

If the whole country can do this, then the national finances will not be rich? Therefore, Li Shimin also paid serious attention to it, hoping to make Jingwen hurry up.

And Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you let me go to Mengjin County, Luoyang to see it in person, I think I can work out a plan for commercial taxes." In this way, in the future, all localities can adapt to local conditions, and then they can get more commercial taxes. In addition, you can consider giving the supervision of Mengjin County's commercial tax and the right to build a bank to my bank, so that I can help them formulate a repayment plan and be able to repay the huge amount of 200,000 yuan within seven to ten years. ”

"You're going to Luoyang?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen replied: "Yes, I'm going to Luoyang to have a look, according to local conditions!" If it can be implemented successfully, it will also be a good thing for me Datang! If the commercial tax can be raised, it will be just around the corner for me to become rich and strong. ”

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, I will let you go to Luoyang." You personally go to Mengjin County to do a pilot, and then tell me what you know. As long as I can find a way, it will be of great benefit to my Datang's future development. If the country's commercial taxes can skyrocket, it will be extremely important for my Datang. And at that time, I'm afraid that the prosperous era of my Tang Dynasty will come soon. ”

"Command!" Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
