Chapter 152: Planning Industrial Areas
At this time, the Taxation Bureau of Northern Zhili had already begun to operate in full swing...≦Small,...o The Taxation Bureau's scale has expanded several times in the second year of the Tianqi period.&1t;/p>
With the implementation of the "Regulations on Industry and Business Administration", tax revenue suddenly surged. Once this comprehensive tax model was established, the tax amount was naturally not comparable to that before.&1t;/p>
Especially the commodity value-added tax is obviously difficult to evade taxes. It is easy to find out how much things a workshop produces. It can be checked through raw materials and transport. The other is that if the commodity value-added tax is not paid, it will obviously not pass those tax collection levels.&1t;/p>
The tax banknotes of the Taxation Bureau are now spread throughout Northern Zhili.&1t;/p>
For goods from other provinces, high tolls will be charged. Local goods in Beizhili can be cleared for free as long as they pay value-added tax. If the value-added tax is not paid, they will be charged higher taxes by the banknote.&1t;/p>
While pursuing comprehensive taxation on Northern Zhili, Zhu Youxiao is also building a trade barrier in Northern Zhili. He completely treats Northern Zhili as a country in the middle of the country. All commodities coming from other provinces will be charged tolls, which is similar to customs import tariffs. Once the trade barrier is formed, it can prevent other provinces from impacting the commodity manufacturing industry in Northern Zhili, thereby allowing the manufacturing industry in Northern Zhili to be developed.&1t;/p>
At the same time, cash gates were also set up on the canal rivers. Passing ships, whether private or official ships, have to pay tolls for those who do not transport food, and they are charged very harshly.&1t;/p>
The merchants in Tongzhou are now in trouble. The canal transportation they rely on for survival has suffered a great blow this time.&1t;/p>
Trade barriers were formed quickly, and soon business opportunities appeared among merchants in northern Zhili. Soon the cabinet issued the "Industrial Encouragement Law" again. It called on private merchants to develop their business.&1t;/p>
"From now on, newly established enterprises involve steel manufacturing, porcelain, textile, shoes and hats, and breeding. All three years of corporate income tax will be exempted and they can obtain a low-interest entrepreneurial loan from the Royal Bank."&1t;/p>
Looking at the decree published in the newspaper, many businessmen in Beizhili became active.&1t;/p>
However, it was not over yet. Zhu Youxiao soon made a new move, that is, to establish an industrial zone. The first ones were established were the Jingshi Industrial Zone, the Tianjin Industrial Zone, and the Cizhou (Xingtai) Industrial Zone.&1t;/p>
The tens of millions of road repair expenses that Zhu Youxiao has scattered this time are the gravel roads that run through these three industrial areas, and each gravel road is very wide.&1t;/p>
This means that these three industrial areas can form convenient transportation conditions, heavy carriages have been put into use at this time and have received large orders.&1t;/p>
In addition to convenient transportation, industrial areas can form industrial supporting facilities.&1t;/p>
For example, Cizhou Industrial Zone is based on steel and focuses on steel manufacturing. Royal Steel Company has smelted out steel, so steel can be manufactured into various commodities, which is obviously inseparable from private capital. From various machinery to small embroidery needles, there are many steel products. What kind of machinery is naturally covered by Royal Capital. But who will make embroidery needles? And those ordinary agricultural tools are better than subcontracting them to private capital.&1t;/p>
The Beijing Industrial Zone is mainly military industry.&1t;/p>
Tianjin Industrial Zone will focus on light industries such as light textiles, shoes and hats, as well as chemicals.&1t;/p>
The land of these three industrial zones was quickly enclosed and construction began. In order to build the industrial zone as soon as possible, workers were everywhere on the construction site. The construction of roads even divides a road into several sections and then builds at the same time.&1t;/p>
After these measures were implemented, the private businessmen in Beizhili immediately took a lot of actions, and went to bank loans to start businesses.&1t;/p>
However, most businessmen are still waiting and watching.&1t;/p>
Regarding the industrial exhibition in Beizhili, Zhu Youxiao also planned it in detail. Focusing on encouraging manufacturing industries related to people's livelihood, as well as those goods that can be used for export.&1t;/p>
The most bulky commodities these days are nothing more than grain, steel, porcelain, textiles, coal, vegetables, meat, water, wine, salt, and tea.&1t;/p>
Among them, mining has become an advantageous industry under the operation of Royal Mining Company, especially after the expansion of coal mining, it is definitely a good export commodity.&1t;/p>
Salt and grain sales will also be fully monopolized in Beizhili.&1t;/p>
Steel smelting is also the current advantageous industry of Beizhili, but direct export of steel is not very cost-effective. Only by processing it into steel products can it have high added value. Therefore, the steel manufacturing industry has become a project that encourages private capital exhibitions.&1t;/p>
In addition to the steel manufacturing industry, porcelain and textile are all weak industries, porcelain is obviously more profitable, but there are also many official kilns and private kilns in northern Zhili, which can be developed by integrating them. The quality of raw materials is also easy to solve. At worst, you can buy high-quality clay from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. If there are enough merchant ships, the freight is not high. The added value of the porcelain itself is relatively high, and it is a commodity exported overseas. When the porcelain production is exhibited, once the marine trade is started in the future, you can earn a large amount of silver.&1t;/p>
The textile industry is a top priority, and every ordinary person has to wear clothes. Now the textile industry center of the Ming Dynasty is located in Songjiang Prefecture, and the textile machinery is relatively advanced. It is difficult for the textiles in Beizhili to compete with the textiles in Songjiang Prefecture. Therefore, it is necessary to protect local trade barriers and policy encouragement, and a large number of private textile factories will soon emerge.&1t;/p>
The breeding industry can improve people's living standards. Royal Capital obviously cannot monopolize the breeding industry, so the breeding industry has become an industry that encourages development.&1t;/p>
Royal Capital obviously only needs to deeply monopolize heavy industry. In terms of light industry, private capital exhibitions can be first allowed. At that time, a group of private capital businessmen who are good at operating light industry will naturally emerge. At that time, Royal Bank can choose to inject capital into these private capital enterprises, form joint ventures, and absorb those merchants who are good at lighting industry exhibitions into the Royal Consortium.&1t;/p>
While Zhu Youxiao promulgated these policies, Royal Capital's investment was also continuing. The second phase of the reclamation project of Royal Agriculture Company has almost been completed, and a large number of farmers have been resettled. The mining activities of Royal Mining Company are still growing, and the scale of mining of coal mines, copper mines, iron ores and other ores have expanded. The scale of the Royal Military Factory has also expanded again in the second year of the Tianqi period and has begun to produce greatly. Royal Infrastructure Company's road construction is in full swing. Royal Salt Company is also expanding the scale of salt drying.&1t;/p>
A large amount of investment brings a lot of employment, the growth of the employment population, and the increase in people's income, which creates more demand for commodities, which in turn drives more jobs, and soon triggers the economic prosperity of Beizhili.&1t;/p>
After paying taxes, many businessmen now make more profits per month than before. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
ps: The first update, today I came, and I was chatting and couldn't get the time to write. I only had time in the evening, so I was writing it quickly. Two updates can be guaranteed.&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
