Nine hundred and thirty-fourth section division (1)
Liu Che told his ministers about the so-called sea tax and golden tax.
In fact, it is set based on the particularities of the whaling industry and the gold mining industry.
For example, if you go out to sea for whaling, as long as the ship agrees, you can catch as much or as little as you like, and no one can know or hinder you.
But whale blubber and bones, among other products, are commodities.
It can only be unloaded from the Han army's military port.
What's more important is that currently, in the entire world, only Shaofu and Moyuan are purchasing large amounts without restrictions.
Liu Che, who has mastered the sales terminal, can certainly collect taxes with confidence.
Moreover, the collection is unambiguous!
Whale oil and other seafood products are all directly paid for after tax is deducted.
Just like the publishing fee of later generations.
Authors are sitting at home, and the manuscript taxes have already arrived in the accounts of the tax bureau.
Want to evade taxes?
There are no doors!
As for other maritime merchant ships, although it is a little more troublesome, it is basically the same.
Ships must dock, and taxes will be collected when docking.
According to Liu Che's prediction, the explosion of the whaling industry is already around the corner.
Not to mention, after Chen Jiao.
Jiangdu Shipyard has received another order for three new whaling ships.
Of course, tenants are definitely not ordinary people.
These three whaling ships were all booked by Liu Che's own father-in-law.
Cheng Zhengying and Zhuo Wangsun of Linqiong each threw out 50 million yuan as rent fees with their eyes closed.
Anyway, they have many sons, so it is normal for them to send one to hunt whales as a way to show their loyalty.
As for the orderer of the third ship, Liu Che was a little surprised.
It was actually Wei Wan, the Marquis of Jianling who was sent to Jiangdu Kingdom.
Wei Wan almost lost everything in order to rent the whaling ship.
Even the house in Chang'an was sold to raise enough money.
Wei Yaer had already discussed this matter with Liu Che.
According to Wei Yaer, her father felt that her brother was incompetent in literature, martial arts, and did not have the skills to defend himself.
I worry that in the future, if I fail, my unfilial son will ruin the family reputation and humiliate my ancestors.
Therefore, I plan to let him engage in marine-related matters.
Wei Wan felt that whaling had great potential.
Therefore, we tried to sell iron and turn Wei Xin into one of the pioneers of whaling in the Han Dynasty.
As for whether the facts were true or false, Liu Che was too lazy to care.
Anyway, the more whale ships he rents, the higher his income will be.
Moreover, what is even more exaggerated is that Liu Che can obtain funds through chartering ships and licensing, and then turn these funds into funds to purchase whale oil and other products, and then rent ships...
Hmm, it looks familiar!
It is indeed somewhat like the so-called p2p lending platforms that became notorious in later generations.
But compared with these p2p, what Liu Che did was no longer risky because it was profitable.
Whale oil and other products have many uses and are easy to market.
As long as there are enough manpower, a huge industrial chain can be formed within three to five years.
As for the golden tax, it's even simpler.
If you want to pan for gold, you cannot do without rivers.
As long as you control the river, you can control the flow of gold.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
The emperor was generous and allowed the people to dig for gold.
But you can’t help but pay the tax, right?
Last year, there were tens of thousands of gold diggers in Huaihua, and the gold they found exceeded tens of thousands of gold.
Converted into five baht, it is probably worth tens of millions.
This year, there will be more gold diggers in Huaihua, and gold output will definitely hit a new high.
After all, everyone was a novice and newbie last year.
But this year, they have become seasoned and seasoned.
When the whaling, maritime trade and gold mining taxes are added together, Liu Che predicts that after the tax is launched this year, at least tens of millions will be collected. If he is lucky, it is normal to collect 30 to 40 million.
In this way, Guangguan's start-up capital will be available.
But the ministers all had doubts about this.
This is also normal.
China has relied on agriculture to collect taxes since ancient times.
Although after Liu Che came to the throne, he started playing with salt and iron and casting money, and obtained unprecedented profits through monopoly operations.
However, this coinage and salt and iron ultimately relied on the commodity economy based on agricultural society.
This sea tax and gold tax were levied for the first time by the Han family.
How much can it be and can I fill in the Guangzhou Customs fee?
All the ministers had no confidence in their hearts.
Fortunately, this kind of thing is not unprecedented in history.
At the beginning, Guan and Zhong were together, sharing all the important and minor powers, and paying the taxes of mountains and seas, making Qi Henggong dominate the world.
That was the first time in Chinese history that someone tried to use the benefits of industry, commerce, fish and salt to strengthen the country.
However, since Guan Zhong, no one has been able to dominate the world with the power of industry, commerce, fish and salt.
Like the Qi State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, although it was rich, the richer it became, the worse its combat effectiveness became.
He was even pushed to the ground and beaten violently by Yan Guo, a ten thousand year old boy!
Since the time of Lord Shang, farming warfare has been generally recognized and accepted in China.
Therefore, it is normal for ministers to have doubts.
Therefore, Liu Che had to say solemnly: "You sir, don't worry, the sea tax and golden tax will definitely meet the cost of Guangguan!"
Even if it doesn't work, Liu Che still has a big move to get the gold of Neon Islands!
If the sea tax and gold tax are not enough to support the cost of Guangguan, then Liu Che will naturally release neon gold and silver mines.
With this super golden finger, there is no problem that cannot be solved!
When the ministers heard this, they no longer questioned it.
After all, the emperor has promised it, do you still dare not believe it?
"I plan to re-divide the territories of prefectures and counties in the world after Guangguan!" Liu Che continued.
There are nine states in the world under Yu Gong.
They are Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou.
Therefore, nine large cauldrons were cast to resemble the world.
When the Qin Empire unified the world, it abolished feudalism and established prefectures and counties.
Qin united the world and had eight counties for forty years.
By the time of the rise of the Han Dynasty, the great ancestor Liu Bang had established the empire, and the number of counties had increased to more than sixty.
Therefore, it is actually difficult for the country to control so many counties.
After all, it is difficult for the state as an institution to respond appropriately to so many counties, let alone regulate and control them.
As a result, the state system was reintroduced.
The predecessor of the governor, the supervisory censor, appeared in full force.
In the third year of Emperor Hui's reign, three assistants were appointed to supervise the censor.
Then it was promoted to the whole world.
There are nine responsibilities for the supervisory censor.
The main responsibility is to investigate lawsuits and see whether the county guards and local officials have disregarded human life.
The general term of supervisory censors is two years. In October of each winter, they return to Chang'an from the local area to report on the situation, and then return to their residence in December.
However, this system was quickly broken down by the bureaucracy.
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign, a scandal occurred in which the supervisory censors collaborated with local county governors to commit fraud.
Taizong was furious and issued an edict to send the prime ministers and historians out of Cizhou County to supervise the censors.
This is the origin of Du Yu Shi.
Therefore, the supervisory censor is under the control of the censor, while the supervisory censor is under the management of the prime minister, and is appointed by the Dong Cao Lingshi of the prime minister's palace. (Note 1)
But the struggle between the state and the bureaucracy never tolerates any sloppiness.
As soon as Liu Che relaxed, a scandal broke out over his performance.
If we don't think of a way, these guys will go to heaven.
Practice has proved that it is difficult for the current supervisory censors and supervisory censors to control and control such a huge country and territory.
After all, both the supervisory censor and the supervising censor are minor officials with a salary of six hundred dan.
The total number of their subordinate officers did not exceed ten, and including the assistants, they supported thirty or forty people to death.
And they are often responsible for a county, or even several counties in a state.
Even if they are exhausted, they still can't control it!
Therefore, Liu Che has decided to resurrect Kyushu!
wrong!
It should be the Twelve States!
Looking at the map, Liu Che's eyes gradually brightened.
"In the past, Yao established the world and had twelve states!" Liu Che opened his hands and said, "I am willing to follow the rule of the Holy King!"
This is the benefit of an ancient civilization like China.
Want to reform and need evidence?
It doesn't matter, if you look through history books, you can always find similar things done by the past kings and sages.
It is no exaggeration to say that China's ancestors have already tried all the political system and economic reforms that humans can implement.
There are stories like this in the history books about republican **** and free collectives.
In today's world, with the expansion of the Han Dynasty's territory.
Kyushu is no longer suitable.
"Take Guanzhong after Guangguan as Zhongzhou!" Liu Che clicked heavily on the map.
"The five stars coming out of the east will benefit China!" Liu Che raised his head and said solemnly: "Dongjing, where ghosts stay together, will be regarded as Zhongzhou under the light!"
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the division of Kyushu has shifted from geography to constellation division.
Twenty-eight stars are densely covered in the sky. The ancients looked up and looked at them. Therefore, the Dharma was like the heaven and the earth, and the stars were used as the divisions of the states and counties in the world.
And Dongjing, where ghosts live, is the dividing line of Qin. If the land it shines cannot be included in Guanzhong, it will become part of Zhongzhou.
That would be tantamount to declaring that the Han Dynasty considered itself illegal.
Because, in October of the first year of Han Dynasty, an astronomical miracle happened.
Five stars in a row gathered in the east well.
Since the five stars gathered in Dongjing, it took Liu Bang five years to unify the world.
These things are widely regarded as a symbol of the Han family's destiny from heaven.
This is the fundamental reason why the emperor of the Han Dynasty can rule the world and convince the people of the world.
Since then, five has become the sacred number of the Han Dynasty.
The steps of the palace must be five, fifty-five, or five hundred and fifty-five.
The official seal must have five characters.
The Dongjing Star Territory where the Five Stars Lianzhu is located has become the incarnation of the Han Dynasty's political power, and together with it and the ghost star constellation that symbolizes the separation of Qin in the Warring States Period has also become sacred.
Only then did all the ministers wake up and bowed in obeisance: "I am so ignorant that I do not uphold righteousness. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. It is a capital crime, a capital crime!"
Many people even broke out in cold sweat, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, secretly glad that they didn't object just now.
If there was any slight opposition, he would have become a 'current anti-Han traitor'.
Now that the emperor has unleashed the deadly weapon of Xingxiu Divide, all the ministers can only prick up their ears and obey orders respectfully.
Because this is politically correct.
As the saying goes: From the time when the people were born, the Lord of the world has never failed to observe the sun, moon and stars. When it comes to the Five Emperors and Three Kings, Shao Er knows it clearly.
Do future generations dare to complain about the previous king’s government?
Do you want to fight against your ancestors? (To be continued.)
