please make me king

Chapter 1071 Killing three birds with one stone

"If you want to give me three taels, I will!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

"." Everyone was speechless when they heard the words. They had never seen such a bargain before.

"Your Excellency is honorable, so why play with me?" The old man glared angrily when he heard the words.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, I will pay for this money!" Song Qijiao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Sure enough, a thief is a thief, and even if he bought an elegant plaything, he would grab it hard.

"Listen to what I have to say!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't ask for this money."

"Don't talk about three taels, even thirty taels, three hundred taels, and the king never took it seriously."

"It's just business, I can't break the rules!"

The old man heard Zhang Shun mentioned the word "rules", and knew that he was a knowledgeable person.

He couldn't help suppressing his anger, and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Maybe you have already heard that this king is the new King Shun who occupies the three sides and four towns in Shaanxi!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"I don't steal, and I don't rob. I'll tell you the truth."

"If you give this thing to me, I will put it in the hall of memory and use it exclusively for entertaining guests."

"By the way, I don't want this set. You can make a new set for me, and it must be marked with your name!"

"The people my king entertains are either dignitaries or literati and poets. After being praised by these people, not to mention your small kiln, I am afraid that the entire Yaozhou kiln will become popular and sell well in Shaanxi."

"This..." The old man was taken aback when he heard the words, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the little old man will just believe in King Qin just once!"

"I'm going to start a furnace to burn porcelain right now, and I will definitely choose a set of ingenious treasures to enshrine to His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Zhang Shun couldn't help grinning.

Sure enough, he knew the tricks, and he advertised for him, and he paid himself the advertising fee, of course!

Not long after, everyone walked out of the cave.

Zhang Shun handed the "advertising fee" paid by the old man to the red lady and said: "You often say 'marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat', since you have followed me, I haven't made much money, these three taels of silver It’s the most money I’ve earned in my life, let’s share it with you!”

"Why?" Just as the red lady was in a daze, Ma Yingniang and Wang Qiying hurriedly stopped her.

"It's natural that she is a 'married man', don't we both?"

"Then the three of you secretly divided, but other people know!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words, and thought: No matter what, you have to distinguish between high and low.

At the same time, Song Qijiao, the magistrate of Yaozhou, heard this, but he didn't know that Zhang Shun was "wrong" that guy's money, so he couldn't help shaking his head, and advised him: "The king of Qin is rich in three sides and four towns, how can it be that the common people share a piece of money?" Nothing?"

This is a guy who only knows how to read sage books, but doesn't know economics.

Zhang Shun shook his head and didn't answer, but instead asked: "I see that the porcelain industry in Huangbao Town is well developed, how many workshops are there?"

"This..." Song Qijiao pondered for a while when he heard the words, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I haven't counted them carefully, I'm afraid there are more than a hundred!"

"I've given you a task. Put aside the miscellaneous things in your hands. You personally bring people over and register for me from door to door." Zhang Shun couldn't help but ordered.

"What is registration?" Song Qijiao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

"This registration is like a fish scale book. It states the name of the workshop, the owner of the workshop, the number of employees in the workshop, and the number of pieces of porcelain produced each year." Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"Whoever does a good job in the future, and others use the brand name falsely, will be compensated and punished. If a company does not do well, it cannot deliver qualified products as promised, and it will still be dealt with in accordance with the law."

"This..." Song Qijiao hesitated for a moment, always feeling that the "King of Qin" had some purpose, so he couldn't help asking directly, "I don't know what the King of Qin wants?"

It is not difficult to implement these, the key is to consume manpower and material resources, there must be an excuse, right?
"There are more than a hundred workshops in Huangbao Town alone. If you add Chenlu Town, Lidi, Yuhua Village, Shangdian Village, etc., there may not be three or four hundred workshops." Zhang Shuntu said poorly.

"If each square collects three or five taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be able to collect more than a thousand taels a year, which is enough to cover [-] to [-] mu of land tax!"

The land tax in the Ming Dynasty was very low, and only three liters, three ingots and five scoops were collected for one mu, and the full amount of [-] mu was only collected for more than a thousand stones.

"So many?" Song Qijiao was startled when he heard this.

Nayaozhou was originally a small state, except for this state, it only governed the same county, and the annual land tax was only two or three thousand shi.

Zhang Shun opened his mouth to collect more than a thousand taels of silver from the Yaozhou kiln, no wonder Song Qijiao, the magistrate of Yaozhou, jumped.

Although Song Qijiao was also very moved, but many years of Confucian "benevolence and righteousness" teachings drove him to quickly remonstrate: "Nowadays the world is in turmoil, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue in Shaanxi, and the people are living in dire straits."

"Based on the righteousness of the world, the King of Qin saved the common people from the fire and water. Now the people of Qin haven't heard of King Qin's benevolence, how can the King of Qin calculate the gains and losses first instead?"

Zhang Shun couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard the words, pointing to Song Qijiao and said: "The views of rotten Confucians!"

"I can't eat enough to eat three meals a day, I can't clothe more than five feet of cloth, and I can't live in a house that is more than ten feet long. What can I ask for?"

"The collection of this tax is nothing more than taking from the people and using it for the people!"

"Nowadays there are frequent droughts in northern Shaanxi, starving people are everywhere, and the Ming court does not think about relief, so the disaster is getting worse."

"Now that Shaanxi has been owned by the rebels, it is time to distribute silver and food for relief. Where does the money come from, and where does the food come from? Don't take it here, take it from the other side!"

"The Great Ming increased the payment, and the income per mu increased from three to five cents to nine cents, so that the people of the world were in poverty."

"Wu Sibi Workshop burns tens of millions of pieces of porcelain every year, and the profit is not less than hundreds of thousands. I collect more to make up for the shortage, so why not?"

Song Qijiao, the magistrate of Yaozhou, was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but looked at Zhang Shun and asked, "Originally, this workshop collects door stall tax every month, so what should it do? And what's the name of the new tax?"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun thought, didn't everyone in his previous life say that Daming didn't collect business taxes?Why is there still a gate tax?

"How much is the door tax collected every month, and what is it called?"

"Yaozhou collects a total of more than [-] taels a year for this stall tax, and it is collected from all street vendors and stores." Song Qijiao couldn't help explaining.

"You are a commercial tax, I am an industrial tax!" Zhang Shun almost laughed out loud when he heard this, you can't collect a fraction of my money for a year, what kind of tax is it?
"Anyone who excavates mountains and forests and mines, manufactures and sells objects for profit is collected according to their value, so it is called labor tax."

"The method depends on the size of the workshop and the number of objects produced, and it is collected according to the font size."

"Its income tax is temporarily used to hire the victims of disasters in northern Shaanxi and provide relief with work. It sends porcelain to Xi'an and other places, and returns with rice and grain. One of them goes back and forth without labor."

"This..." Song Qijiao was stunned when he heard the words.

People often say kill two birds with one stone, King Qin is killing three birds with one stone.

First, register the name of Yaozhou kiln workshop as the basis for tax payment.

Then the taxes collected were used to hire the victims who fled from Yan'an Prefecture and other places, transported the porcelain produced in Yaozhou to Xi'an and other places for sale, and then used the sales proceeds to buy grain and return to Yaozhou.

This not only collects taxes, but also relieves the victims, and at the same time avoids the pain of levying labor and transporting food.

"Okay!" Song Qijiao, governor of Yaozhou, couldn't help but clapped his hands in response, "King Qin's thinking is very ingenious, and Song will be convinced!"

"If it can be done like this, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will also facilitate this matter for the King of Qin."
