"It turns out to be to control the alien race~" Li Tai's voice was slightly elongated, and his eyes looked at Fang Xuanling, "Fang Ying's calculations are far-reaching, and Qingque admires it."
Fang Xuanling's expression remained unchanged when facing Li Tai, but just looked at Li Tai and said,
"Of course, if the King of Wei is unwilling to be exclusive to the court, the court can also leave a franchise for the King of Wei's tea garden."
"Fang Xiang, you misunderstood! I, Li Tai, are you a person who doesn't know the importance of it? Since this matter involves managing foreign races, you can't take it lightly!"
Li Tai said with a serious expression, "Actually, the scale of tea is too small now, and the alien nobles only treat it as luxury goods. For them, if the tea supply is cut off, it will be cut off, and it will definitely not affect the entire alien.
Position.
At least before the people of the lower classes of aliens regard this thing as a necessity for daily life like salt, tea does not have as great effect on aliens as Fang Xiang thinks!”
Fang Xuanling could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard Li Tai's words, and he didn't say much, looking at Li Tai what to say.
Li Tai continued to tell Li Shimin, "And Qingque feels that it is unrealistic to rely on something to directly control the alien race.
It’s like a person has a handle in the other party’s hands. Over time, the two of them will get sick of each other at the least, and the two of them will get killed each other at the worst.
The alien race has a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty now. There is no need for us to force the alien race to this point, forcing everyone to hate the Tang Dynasty!"
Anyway, this matter is a long-term investment. When I inherit Li Shimin's position, the inner government, whose functions have been strengthened, will be meaningful to me.
To a certain extent, the basic materials we sell to foreign races are cheaper and allow them to enjoy discounts."
First, there is no need. As long as tariffs appear, people will naturally understand these things. At this time, Fang Xuanling's eyes were already a little shiny.
If the Tang Dynasty raises or lowers, or even has zero tariffs, it will have a great impact on these small countries.
It’s like these aristocratic families have not discovered that King Wei is controlling the grassroots level little by little?
How is that possible, but what can the aristocratic family do? Because the competition between the aristocratic family and the King of Wei is not on the same track.
As for letting the internal government participate, this is because it involves both military functions and economic internal affairs.
But for Fang Xuanling, this is more or less a headache, because from the perspective of economic interests, Fang Xuanling also hopes that the court can have multiple tax channels, rather than just focusing on the land tax in the hands of the people.
The people present listened to Li Tai's words and were a little silent for a moment, especially Fang Xuanling was even more dazed and said, "Is this collecting taxes from the surrounding small countries!"
"You can understand this way!" Li Tai's mouth twitched, but he didn't react when facing Fang Xuanling's question.
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, "In short, we should encourage aliens to trade in this market."
Where can the court find these people? In the end, it was not the agricultural institution system built by the King of Wei.
The firewood, rice, oil and salt are the foundation of people’s lives. This is true for Chinese people and foreign people.
Li Tai continued, "As for controlling aliens, it is even easier. We can establish a trading market with aliens.
But under social polishing, at least in one era, the most suitable production relationship will naturally be formed.
Because Wei Zheng knew that Li Tai threw out this thing to make things difficult for Fang Xuanling, which was very stingy with King Wei.
Even the industries in this relationship chain were checked and all of them were taken over by our Datang.
Qingque's ability to make money is indeed unparalleled. He can come up with such a way to control large and small alien forces, while also creating benefits for the Tang Dynasty.
"Because they evade taxes!" Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling very unhappy, but he felt very happy!
Although the King of Wei said that it needed the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Inner Government, these strengthened the King of Wei's political allies, and consolidated the King of Wei's own power, but in fact it was still strong.
Wang’s basic agricultural institution.
It would be impossible to say that the court represented by Fang Xuanling was not moved. Even Wei Zheng, who had always been the most upright, closed his mouth at this moment and had no intention of saying anything more.
As for the concepts of what market, what luxury goods, and what necessities are, I have not mentioned in detail.
Li Tai said, “So, these three are almost the basis for the entire tariff system.
If this country has a bad relationship with our Tang Dynasty, then we will increase the customs duties and fees for the other party's exclusive specialties, so that the other party's own specialties can only rot in their own hands.
Because of this new tariff system, what is most needed are students from agricultural institutions, especially those who know how to calculate, foreign languages, and even those who can form talents in the War Department.
"When this matter is in contact with the foreign races around you, you don't let the Honglu Temple come and discuss it slowly, so who can I ask?
Li Tai said this and added: "Qingque felt that the specific tax rate could be handed over to the Honglu Temple to discuss it slowly with the aliens.
Even if there is real competition and competition has arrived, there are so many grassroots positions. Agricultural colleges graduate from more than one batch of talents every year. They can occupy one position, but can they take all grassroots positions?
Not to mention, students from the Agricultural Institution make these aristocratic families more convenient and more efficient.
Li Tai said calmly, "Blowing foreign races through economic means will not directly cause the foreign race to rebound, and secondly, only by making these foreign races feel pain can we truly realize our mistakes!"
Standing on his sidelines, he could clearly see the tariffs and other things. I am afraid that it was a special industry created by King Wei to contribute to his agricultural institution.
But now, the so-called markets or checkpoints that can arrange three officials of seven or eighth rank officials to manage tariffs has already caused a big gap in the talent reserves of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the grassroots really do things
people.
There is no way, this matter concerns the interests of the entire military headquarters. If you don’t fight for it, then the generals or soldiers in the future will probably poke their backbone.
"What you mean by the tariffs is a bit like!" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard Li Tai's words.
"But how do you control the alien race?" Others couldn't help but squint when they heard Li Tai's words.
At this moment, even Li Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Li Tai a few more times, no longer acting like an old monk entering into meditation.
After all, until now, the domestic land tax is still a big deal. Although Li Tai has worked hard to develop and has begun to charge indirect commercial taxes through the canal and the road, he is afraid that he still has a long way to go if he wants to compete with the land tax.
At most, Li Tai was more willing to invest some resources to make the tax bureau stronger and bigger, and then he would just focus on common people's landlords and even aristocratic families to collect taxes.
Then, with following the old rules as a basis, it will be much more convenient to use the tax bureau to specifically target those who evade taxes in the future.
Then this matter involves tax rates, so naturally the civil service department that deals with money every year comes.
More importantly, when the Tang Dynasty was full of force, these small countries either entered the Tang Dynasty market to pay taxes or were ready to make their country history. Seeing that everyone was part of China, they naturally did not.
Need to pay taxes.
"If this country has a good relationship with our Tang Dynasty, then it will be tax-free, and their products can enter and exit the Tang Dynasty market freely.
In addition, because of Fang Xuanling's policy of streamlining institutions, the Tang Dynasty's officialdom had abolished many black sheep, which suppressed the number of officials in the Tang Dynasty.
What kind of tea is needed? This method that can not only collect taxes from other small countries, but also control other small countries to a certain extent. This is what Fang Xuanling likes.
Aristocratic families can become officials directly through the election, or pass the assessment of Jinshi to become officials of the court. At least it is impossible to compete with the agricultural institution system trained by the King of Wei to compete for a grassroots position together.
This kind of thing is probably a variant of the city gate tax. In fact, it is not complicated. However, generally, the Tang Dynasty did not covet the specialties of the surrounding small countries or exploited the surrounding small countries. As long as you recognize the Tang Dynasty as your elder brother, then you will be at peace with it.
Click, that's enough.
But you can't be taken over by Fang Xuanling for nothing. If you can establish a tariff system and even create a tax bureau, even if it is the most basic prototype, it will make a big profit for you.
What we need is to use these basic things in these markets to exchange for specialties from the hands of foreign races.
When this matter is really confirmed, let the people of the Civil Affairs Ministry try to collect taxes in the border areas. In case of precautions, it is best to let the inner government establish a special tax team to target foreign races, at least the one-day war department is safe.
What we need to sell abroad to China is only their specialties. They have to exchange these specialties for basic living supplies from the Tang Dynasty.
This system was built by Fang Xuanling in the Li Shimin era, and what does it have to do with Li Tai who just came up with his ideas?
For Li Jing, personal problems can be tolerated, but the military must strive for the interests of the military. This will not be avoided just because Li Jing wants to keep a low profile.
Because the Tang Dynasty, or the Chinese court, has rarely cultivated talents since ancient times, but only selected talents.
Subsidies for exporting basic materials can also be carried out in a similar manner."
The production of all basic materials is completed at home and there is no high demand for foreign countries.
"It's very simple. We set up a checkpoint to artificially increase the specialty taxes and fees for foreign races and our Tang Dynasty transactions." Li Tai said calmly,
It’s not like Li Tai. He wants people to the alien races around him, and even specialties. He is even ready to exploit the alien races of all sizes around him for the sake of scissors in the future.
The few people present nodded unconsciously and understood Li Tai's meaning.
Even if the best among them learn mathematics, what about the legion talent and the alien language? What should I do if there are these?
Well, even if you master all these, the talents cultivated by the traditional Four Books and Five Classics are not just going to take the Jinshi exam, but to go to the border to become a small official of the seventh and eighth rank officials, and they just go to taxes. Those aristocratic families are afraid that they will feel sorry for them.
No matter what, for Li Shimin, this system is just a difference between making a big profit or making a big profit.
After all, the King of Wei could explain this thing in such a detail, and it would be impossible to say that Li Tai had never thought about it.
After all, both aristocratic families and ordinary people need to look at the cost-effectiveness. At most, both sides have different concepts of wealth.
To be honest, the cake that Li Tai draws now is a bit too fragrant, and it is also very operational for the Tang Dynasty.
As for short-term interests, what short-term interests can help Li Shimin make money?
"Yeah~" Li Shimin couldn't help but touch his beard when he heard Li Tai's suggestion.
If you want to get my tea, I will find a way to strengthen the functions of the inner government, and Li Tai silently complained in his heart.
After all, even if the Tang Dynasty is the largest consumer market in the world, it is based on the small peasant society.
Among the current court positions, except for the inner court supervision, there should be no other organization that can take into account both the court positions!”
"It sounds like Guan Zhong's plan is another plan!" Du Ruhui said when he heard Li Tai's words.
If the Tang Dynasty had developed normally, perhaps after Fang Xuanling's death, these institutions would slowly continue to expand or even corrupt. At that time, it might be enough to get the so-called manpower.
Now it is just a tariff, but in the future, the taxation bureau will be responsible for the head tax, land tax, and various taxes.
This mentality is also like the modern family who has finally paid money to cultivate a college student. As a result, this society allows college students to be at the front desk, especially if they don’t have a certain degree and don’t have this opportunity. So who doesn’t doubt the meaning of studying?
However, Fang Xuanling quickly reacted and said, "Why should I leave it to the inner palace!"
The most important thing about the tariff proposed by Li Tai now is that this tax is not levied against domestic forces, but levied against foreign forces. Exploiting foreign interests, which will prevent the country from resisting too much
.
For Li Tai, if Fang Xuanling wants tea, he will just take it over, but he doesn't care.
In order to protect the normal operation of the tariff system, especially when tariffs really force small countries to irritate their troops, the military needs to come forward to solve the problem.
Of course, I won’t participate in the specific structure of the tariff system. After all, I am just the Minister of Works, no matter what this is!"
But Li Tai thought about this and kept it in his head. If Fang Xuanling hadn't wanted to take away the tea from Li Tai on the grounds of controlling the alien race today, Li Tai would be afraid that he wouldn't have let it go
This thing is thrown out.
If anyone wants to avoid tax evasion by these passes, then let the troops arrest them and seize them all and take them to the inner government.
Even unless the aristocratic family is willing to let the talents that they have finally cultivated as officials, these people will eventually do the work.
It’s not that those who study the Four Books and Five Classics are not bad, but that the major they study is completely incompatible with this aspect.
If sentenced, you can also be more serious, because this behavior is considered to be aiding foreign enemies at the least, and if it is a betrayal of the Tang Dynasty."
So there is nothing to do with the aristocratic families!
Back in front of him, although Fang Xuanling still wanted to calculate the benefits of the King of Wei and the court through his spiritual talent.
But Wei Zheng could see that King Wei seemed to have given Fang Xuanling a choice, but as long as Fang Xuanling jumped in, he would not be able to get out.
"Because this is really planning for the future of the Tang Dynasty!" Wei Zheng sighed helplessly.
Even Wei Zheng can't give any advice to this kind of plan to combine public and selfishness!
