"My boss, we have read this business law in detail. This business law is different from what we expected before. It does not impose restrictions on business. If you are engaged in maritime trade and industry, you will be encouraged."
"It can't be said that there are no restrictions. If you want to do business now, you have to go to the government office to register. After setting up a company, you can engage in some related industries. However, I have already inquired about it. The registration fee is very high.
It’s cheap and you don’t have to pay any extra taxes!”
"Ignoring other industries, what regulations are there for maritime trade?"
A shopkeeper below said: "Now the government stipulates that if you want to engage in maritime trade, you need to register first, and then the government will issue a business license. This license does not require any additional fees, as long as you can submit proof of sufficient strength.
Being able to obtain this maritime trade license, with this maritime trade license, our fleet will be able to enter and exit the two trading ports of Guangzhou and Lianzhou without any obstacles!"
"In this case, there won't be much change from the past!"
When the people below were talking about this, Wang Huayun, the head of the Wang family, was also deep in thought. The Wang family was a standard gentry family. The family prided itself on being a scholarly family, and there were many scholars in the family. Wang Huayun himself was a member of the Ming Dynasty.
His youngest son was also a scholar in the Ming Dynasty and owned thousands of acres of land.
At the same time, the Wang family also owns a large number of shops and a high-sea fleet.
In other words, the Wang family is actually a maritime merchant, with five large ships under its command, traveling to various places in Southeast Asia.
After the rise of the puppet Tang Dynasty and the capture of Guangzhou, the Wang family naturally spread the risk. His eldest son had already been sent to the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he also took away some of his clan members and a large amount of money to buy land in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, he himself stayed in Guangzhou and continued to take charge. After all, the foundation of his Wang family was in Guangzhou. If he left Guangzhou, his Wang family's assets would be reduced by nine out of ten in an instant.
Fortunately, after the puppet Tang thief army captured Guangzhou, it did not embarrass the gentry in the city. As long as gentry like Wang Wenhua honestly do business and live a good life and pay taxes, they will basically not be too much of a threat, but at the beginning
I feel that the taxes in the Tang Dynasty are too high. Not only all the land must be taxed, but the business tax is also very heavy.
However, after paying the taxes, the Wang family discovered that their profits from doing business under the rule of the Tang Dynasty were not less than before, but had also increased a lot.
Because even though they paid more taxes, they didn't have to go around trying to win relationships, and they didn't have to pay a mess of exorbitant taxes. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty opened up sea trade, and instead of banning sea trade, it strongly supported it.
As a result, in the past six months, the Wang family's business firm has been making money every day!
Now, the Wang family is also preparing to do something big. They have even ordered two new ships. In order to raise funds to purchase goods, they even sold a batch of their original fields.
Anyway, these fields have to pay taxes now, and the output is not much. Compared with the income from sea trade, the income from the fields is nothing.
The Wang family, who were preparing for a big fight, were naturally extremely concerned about the new owner of Guangzhou Mansion and the policy trends of the Tang Dynasty towards commercial affairs.
The Commercial Code of the Tang Dynasty had just been issued, so they just copied a copy and then studied it.
After reading this, although I feel that there will be many restrictions on doing business in the future, as long as I apply for various licensing documents and pay taxes according to regulations, it will be even more convenient than before.
As for paying taxes, not to mention that the commercial law has come out, even if it had not come out, the Wang family would not have the guts to evade taxes!
In the past year, Wang Huayun has seen too many people who tried to evade taxes end up with their homes confiscated and exterminated!
Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there were two things that were forbidden. The first was rebellion, and the second was tax evasion!
For ordinary people, things like rebellion actually have nothing to do with them, so relatively speaking, tax evasion has more to do with them, and they feel it more deeply.
Therefore, to a certain extent, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there was only one thing that could not be done: tax evasion!
The tax inspection team of the Tang Dynasty was not someone to be trifled with. If they were to catch tax evasion, it would not only result in a fine, but also the death of the entire family.
In the past, everyone talked about county magistrates who ransacked homes and prefects who exterminated clans, but now?
Those who confiscate homes and exterminate families are all tax inspection teams!
Of course, even with such a strict tax system, there are still people who will take desperate measures to evade taxes. The tax inspection team is not merciful in this regard, and they will raid homes together when they find them.
The Wang family can earn a lot of money by following the right path, and since he, Wang Huayun, is a cautious person, he will naturally not do such things.
Nowadays, the weather in Guangzhou is different. It is no longer possible to get a lot of benefits by directly doing things up and down. The biggest possibility is that the money you sent out to do things will be collected by those officials, but as soon as you turn around,
Fall out with you, then confiscate your family and exterminate your family.
In the words of many gentry, these pseudo-Tang officials are so shameless!
Taking bribes first and then ransacking the house was a trend started by the tax inspection team. Later, Li Xuan gave an informal instruction in a considerate manner: Any official who accepted a bribe would only need to turn over the bribe proceeds to the state treasury if he took the initiative to report it.
Half, the remaining half can be used as the official's legal income, and merit will be recorded at the same time, and promotion will be given priority.
Therefore, for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, if Wang Huayun sent them 10,000 taels of silver, they would happily accept it, then take the initiative to report it, and have Wang Huayun's family confiscated and exterminated. Five of the 10,000 taels of silver
In an instant, a thousand taels will become a legal income recognized by the court, and at the same time, you can make a great contribution. Where can you find such a good thing!
This means that in the Tang Dynasty, as long as officials took the initiative to report their bribery income, it was legal income!
Therefore, the current officials of the Tang Dynasty are eager for officials to bribe them, so that they can gain promotion and wealth at the same time!
It's a pity that there used to be many stupid enemies, but now there are only a few. Wang Huayun is certainly not stupid. He would rather pay heavy taxes than bribe those damn fake Tang officials.
Now Wang Huayun hopes to do business honestly. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty has opened up the sea ban and supported commerce, he can buy more sea-going ships, and then make more trips to Nanyang to earn more money.
.
After all, no one knows now whether the policies of the Tang Dynasty will change in the future, and how long the Tang Dynasty can last, or when it will be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, so Wang Huayun hopes to take advantage of this time to make a lot of money.
As for the future, even if the policy changed and the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the money earned in his pocket would still belong to the Wang family.
He immediately said to the shopkeepers below: "Please discuss it in detail, and then go to the government to register, and be sure to get the sea trade license!"
Naturally, the shopkeepers below should claim so!
Soon, the trading firms affiliated to the Wang family were officially registered and successfully obtained the maritime trade license.
And based on the articles of association of Datang Commercial Law, a new 'Wang's Maritime Trading Company' was established. There was no change in the name, and the actual structure was not changed. We just submitted some information and registered. The registration was quite smooth.
, everything was done in less than an hour.
For large commercial houses like Wang's Commercial Bank, the actual impact of the issuance of the Datang Commercial Code is not great, except that business will be more standardized in the future. For small and medium-sized businessmen, the actual impact of the Datang Commercial Code is even greater.
In the past, small traders did not need to register, but now, even if you set up a stall on the street, you need to register and obtain a license. Of course, if you are a big businessman, your firm must submit various approval documents.
information, but there is basically no threshold for registration and licenses of these small and medium-sized traders.
As long as there is a fixed registered address and a legal representative, it is enough.
Basically there will be no restrictions!
The emergence of commercial laws in the Tang Dynasty standardized the order of industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent and guided their development.
In particular, the industries that the Tang Dynasty focused on supporting were given the green light all the way!
What is industry, that is, manufacturing? It doesn’t matter whether you are a small workshop or a large workshop. As long as you are willing to run it, there will be many preferential policies. If the products you produce can be exported or can provide a large number of jobs,
Then you can enjoy tax benefits.
Tax incentives are very important in today's Tang Dynasty, because the taxes in the Tang Dynasty are heavy, and tax evasion is a serious crime. The official tax incentives will attract a large number of people to engage in business.
And people like Wang Huayun also appeared on a small scale, raising funds by selling land and investing the funds in industry and commerce.
This is because the Tang Dynasty now implements unified taxation for the gentry and the gentry. They pay as much tax as they have land. Anyone who dares to report underreporting will have their homes raided directly!
Moreover, the output of the fields is not much to be honest, so it is not cost-effective to do business!
However, this phenomenon is only on a small scale and has not caused much of a stir. After all, land is still very important to Chinese people. After all, there are only a few people like Wang Huayun who are optimistic about sea trade and even sell their fields to raise funds for business.
.
But in any case, starting from April of the third year of Xuanping, the industry and commerce of the Tang Dynasty, especially the two officially supported industries of maritime trade and manufacturing, developed rapidly.
The Ministry of Commerce optimistically estimates that by the end of the year, the capital scale of private enterprises, excluding state-owned enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, will more than double. At the same time, it will provide a large number of jobs for the society and a large amount of tax revenue for the finance.
.
The Tang Dynasty encouraged industry, commerce and even sea trade, which even affected the small countries in Southeast Asia, as well as the Francois and Spaniards!
