Chapter 907 The Datang Tax Department is so awesome!

In the current wave of the Tang Dynasty vigorously supporting the development of maritime transport, river transport, industry and commerce, and maritime trade, cities along the coast and rivers have gained more opportunities than cities in other regions.

And if it is a city that happens to be both coastal and riverside, then it is inevitable that there will be more development opportunities!

Just like Guangzhou, the coast and the estuary of the Pearl River have a strong commercial atmosphere. However, after the Tang Dynasty officially opened up trade and Guangzhou was positioned as a trading port, Guangzhou's development was rapid, not to mention the Guangzhou Business District.

Nowadays, a large number of wastelands on the outskirts of Guangzhou have been turned into various factories.

Even the Foshan area close to Guangzhou City has been affected by the great times and is developing vigorously with the steel industry as the center!

As for Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, its geographical advantages are very similar to Guangzhou. It also covers the coast and is backed by the Yangtze River. More importantly, the Jiangnan water network is dense. Through the Jiangnan water network, almost the entire Jiangnan can be covered.

Get in touch.

Its transportation advantages are too obvious. Relying on sea and river transportation, a large amount of industrial raw materials can be obtained here. The industrial products produced can be radiated to the entire Yangtze River Basin through the Yangtze River. Through sea transportation, it can be radiated to the coasts of northern and southern China.

It was exported to Fuso and Southeast Asia.

Not to mention taking advantage of the developed river transportation network in Jiangnan, its products can be easily transported to the entire Jiangnan for sale!

The transportation advantage brought by this geographical location is far more obvious than the advantage in resources. When it comes to resource origin, there are many. For example, in Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, a super large-scale iron ore has been discovered.

Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant has also been established locally, but the local area still can only rely on iron ore to develop steel, machinery and other related industries. However, other industries and light industries are currently almost zero in Dangtu, and

The business atmosphere is also average.

However, in Shanghai, a city that honestly has nothing but land, it is now full of factories.

When Li Xuan personally inspected Shanghai's suburban industrial zone, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Damn it, it's only the 16th century, and Shanghai has only been developing for more than a year. There are so many people here.

What a messy factory.

Although these factories now rely heavily on power, they are usually built directly on the riverside and use water power, while those that have little need for power generally simply use animals or people.

To put it simply, except for a few heavy industry factories under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, most of the others are factories with little demand for power, mainly labor-intensive enterprises.

In essence, there is actually no difference between these private factories and family workshops, but the management and production models are very different, which leads to the improvement of production efficiency and the reduction of costs, thus allowing these products to be produced

Goods are more competitive.

After visiting the industrial zones in Shanghai, Li Xuan expressed that he was very pleased. He had proposed the industrial zone model a few years ago, and its core idea was 'resource centralization'.

Because the financial resources of local government are limited, and the financial resources of enterprises are also limited. If the local government is doing things here and there, then it will not be able to concentrate the resources of the local government. The same is true for enterprises. If the local government does not provide infrastructure support

, if various conveniences are provided, it will cause a heavy burden on the operation of the company.

In the Shanghai Industrial Zone, as long as investors have money, they can directly rent factories and recruit managers, technicians, and ordinary employees in the local talent market. There are many people who want to get a stable job in the talent market.

people.

All kinds of procedures can be handled in one stop at the yamen in the industrial zone, and there are even people who specialize in handling various businesses.

In other words, as long as you have money, you can open a factory in a Shanghai industrial zone in minutes. Of course, whether it will be successful in the future is another matter.

Even the business environment is much better than other places. Next door is the business district, where many businessmen gather. Some of them come from all over China, some from Southeast Asian countries, and even many Europeans. They sell here

, purchase various goods.

When you need raw materials, you don’t even have to worry about finding them there, just go directly to the business area and place your order.

Once the products are produced, you don’t have to worry about going to various places to buy them. You can just sell them directly to the merchants in the business area.

What’s even more interesting is that these industrial zones often have relatively large tax benefits!

You have to know that in the Tang Dynasty, taxation was not a light thing, and tax evasion was an even bigger crime. If the amount was huge, it was no less serious than treason. How should I put it? If the amount of tax evasion was huge, it would be a serious crime.

For a regime like the Tang Dynasty, which had huge expenses and was very dependent on taxation, it was no different from treason.

Tax evasion is unavoidable, but in order to support industry, the Tang Dynasty often had preferential tax policies!

These preferential policies are still at the central level, but at the local level, in order to develop the economy, local government agencies often sacrifice short-term local fiscal revenue to attract investment, and use part of the local tax as subsidies.

For example, if you are required to pay a tax of 100 taels, in order to support this industry, the central level will reduce or reduce a certain amount. This is valid nationwide, and in some places, especially in industrial zones, the local government will also provide subsidies.

In the current situation, certain taxes will be reduced or exempted, because these taxes are divided between the central and local governments. If the local finance department is determined, it can subsidize all local taxes without making a dime, and the tax department will not care.

Anyway, only national taxes are collected for taxation, and local taxes are left to local governments to handle. Whether you want to engage in infrastructure construction, education, culture and art, the tax department doesn't care.

This subsidy and tax exemption model has been implemented in many areas such as Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Lianzhou, etc. Now Shanghai is naturally no exception. In order to attract more capital investment to build factories, the Shanghai Industrial Zone has provided support to some specific industries, and even

They all strive to 100% subsidize local taxes. The Shanghai Yamen will subsidize as much local taxes as they allocate, without any discount.

And if you do this, don’t think that Shanghai Yamen is at a loss!

In fact, they did not lose money, and even made a lot of money!

Although subsidies are given to factories, factories will drive the development of more industries and create more jobs and provide tax revenue. However, some ordinary industries are not tax exempt.

The overall process is basically like this: local government subsidies attract capitalists to build factories, the factories make money, and recruit more workers. In this process, the factories need raw materials and various services, so many upstream and downstream companies make money.

The local government collects tax revenue from these related enterprises.

At the same time, industry has developed, there are more workers, and incomes have increased. They have to consume. For example, after get off work, colleagues go out for a meal or something, and the restaurant has to pay taxes!

After making money to buy two pounds of meat, the butcher has to pay tax!

After earning money, he buys two pieces of cloth to make clothes for the ladies at home. The cloth dealer has to pay taxes!

Basically, as long as they consume, the tax department will always have a way to collect the tax revenue!

According to the current comprehensive tax rate in Datang, the tax department can collect an average of 50 taels of tax on goods worth one hundred taels, and the comprehensive tax rate reaches 50%.

What, you said the tax is too high? There is no way, the Datang Tax Department is so awesome!

Besides, if you don’t charge such a high tax, you will let me, the King of the Tang Dynasty, drink from the northwest wind. The military expenditure is more than 20 million taels a year!

After leaving Shanghai, Li Xuan had no intention of going anywhere else. Instead, he took a warship back to Jinling. This time, he went north and south and traveled more than half of China. Calculating the time, it was only half a year, and he should go back to Jinling City.

This is not to say that Li Xuan misses the court dance troupe in the Royal Courtyard, but as an emperor, it is not good to be away from his capital for too long, as all kinds of messy accidents are prone to occur.

For example, no one knows if there are careerists trying to stage a rebellion in Jinling City. If there is someone who is short-sighted and thinks that Li Xuan is not in Jinling City, he can stage a palace coup or something like that. Although Li Xuan has

He has absolute confidence to personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but this kind of thing should be avoided if possible!

Those who deliberately leave, show weakness, pretend to be injured, die, etc., wait for those with double-minded intentions to emerge on their own, and then come back to suppress the rebellion, are all fools!

If you let others see the opportunity, don't blame them for having second thoughts!

A qualified emperor should never let others think that others have a chance to overthrow him!

Don’t even give me a chance, even if the opportunity is fake!

It’s best if others don’t even think about it!

After all, you are not gold and silver, everyone loves you, you are just an emperor, those ministers, those careerists are also living people, people are also ambitious, and they will also think about themselves, and they will make mistakes for others.

If you have the opportunity, don’t blame others for being too cruel!

So after Li Xuan finished his trip to Shanghai, he did not go to other places, but returned to Jinling City with the civil and military officials and the Guards. Well, this was for the sake of the overall situation, and definitely not because he wanted to go back early to enjoy

The superb dance skills of the palace dance troupe.

But let’s not mention it, I haven’t watched the dance in a few months and I really miss it.

Especially a few days ago, Wang Wenhua, who was staying in Jinling City, received a letter saying that he had personally searched for and spent several months, and successfully discovered several good young talents with extremely high dancing talents, waiting for the return of the Holy King.

I will perform a wonderful dance for the Holy King.

Alas, Wang Wenhua, a minister, is also loyal. Li Xuan, as the emperor, cannot let his ministers feel cold. After returning to Jinling City, let him send people in for a good appreciation!
