Villager of Daming

Chapter 789 Shareholders Restrict Mental Needs
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a better mood now, as long as he didn't pay the [-]% tax all at once. As for profits, he left it to Xiaqiu Village to worry about.

Although the village has little money for the villagers, it makes a lot of money, and the money flows very fast.

Always earn and spend at the same time. Earn quickly and spend not too slowly, and you will never be short of money.

Many factories on the east bank of the Qinhuai River are supported by money earned from Xiaqiu Village, and the palace does not pay for them.

"In this case, we should not charge more taxes on fireworks and firecrackers, but charge one-thirtieth of the tax twice!" Zhu Yuanzhang decided.

When the ministers heard this, they thought it made sense. After all, it was His Majesty who had the final say on this deal.

In fact, they know that other merchants pay taxes once when they buy and sell goods at convenience stores, and when they transport the goods to the local area for sale, the local government collects taxes again.

If you sell it to someone else's store in a local area, then that store will still charge taxes.

However, no matter how it is collected, it will ultimately be borne by the buyer. Unless the merchants are willing to sell at a loss, they generally will not.

Unless you buy something from another place and find that that place also produces it and the price is cheaper, then it’s over!
"Zhu Lichang, actually you don't need to separate the factory for calculation."

Zeng Lu, who had been standing in front of the censor doctor, stood up and spoke. He thought that the operation of Xiaqiu Village was wrong. He felt that this was an overpayment of taxes.

It would be absolutely impossible for any other businessman to do this. Wouldn’t that be a trap for yourself?
But the head of the store shook his head: "Doctor Zeng, the things produced by Jubiqi's factory will not be separated for Jubiqi, but they will be accounted for separately during accounting.

But when Jubiqi provides pickles to department stores, it must be done in accordance with the relationship between sales and purchases, rather than internal operations.

Department stores are not just one kind of product, but include all aspects. If all goods are treated like this, it will cause problems.

The clothes in the clothing factory are integrated with the clothing store, the ceramics factory is integrated with the ceramics store, and the candy factory is integrated with the candy store.

But it is not true that they supply department stores, otherwise it will be troublesome to settle accounts with various princes in the future. "

The head of the village mentioned the issue of partners for the stores in Xiaqiu Village. Xiaqiu Village accounts for [-]%, the previous princes account for [-]%, and His Majesty the Palace accounts for [-]%.

Department stores are not meant to be taken over by others. In terms of profits, Zhu Ping accounts for [-]% of them.

But in the future, when Zhu Ping became a vassal, he would have to withdraw from it. It was too big and no one could occupy it, including Xiaqiu Village.

Once it is involved in other businesses, it is considered internal. How will the company be separated?

Zeng Lu looked astonished: "I see, that's true."

Other officials also understood. Yes, they forgot for a moment that the shareholders of the store were complicated. No one dared to touch the store because the palace and the prince were behind it.

"Sit down and drink." Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhu Yuanzhang greeted everyone and everyone else stood still.

The song and dance over there ended, and another group of people came up to continue, keeping the atmosphere calm.

It wasn't until the end of the day that everyone finished eating. Officials didn't dare to eat too much, let alone drink too much.

I feel sleepy easily after eating too much and can’t get up in the morning after drinking too much. How can I participate in ritual activities?

A group of people followed the people from Xiaqiu Village into the village, where there were houses arranged for them, and the people from the harem returned to the palace.

Concubine Sun also went back. She had to explain some of tomorrow's situation to other women.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma ran to Xiaqiu Village again, taking the prince, princess, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi with them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not sleepy. He had slept enough before. He took the chief to drink tea and talk.The Crown Princess has a baby in her belly and needs to stay in a good mood. The Crown Prince's Mansion is not as lively as the village, so it is more comfortable here.

The head of the village drank tea with Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by Zhu Wentian and his friends, as well as the prince and others.

"Yichang, today we know that fireworks are the most profitable business. People just buy them and listen to them. Is this good or bad for the Ming Dynasty?"

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang became an emperor, he still had the mentality of a small farmer. He believed that buying food would make him full, buying clothes would keep him warm, and the firecrackers would disappear.

It is better to buy chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can at least increase production, or else buy feed.

The chief nodded to express his understanding: "Your Majesty, we have also had this idea. Fireworks and firecrackers consume things and leave nothing behind.

But later... I realized that this is similar to people who listen to books and tell stories in teahouses and restaurants, and they also drink, sing and dance.

In addition to eating and dressing, everyone also needs something called spiritual enjoyment, which can make people feel happy.

Especially for children, if you give them a small whip and take it apart and put it on slowly, they can be happy for a long time.

If you are happy, you will not get sick easily. Otherwise, you will be depressed all day long, hurt your body, and lose your energy when working. "

What Li Chang was talking about was the relationship between spiritual civilization and material civilization that Hanhan taught. Materials can affect the spirit.

However, he did not use this term and told Zhu Yuanzhang according to his own words.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about his bad taste and put down the tea cup: "That's the truth. People in our palace are willing to go to the village to chat. Is there a shortage of food in the palace? Is there no place to sleep?
Just like I am drinking tea with you now, I also have good tea provided by the village, but I can't drink it in the happy mood now.

In this case, should we build fireworks and firecracker factories in other places, like vegetable greenhouses, to produce them nearby and save transportation costs? "

"Your Majesty, you must not do this." The chief shook his head like a rattle.

"Your Majesty, fireworks and firecrackers are gunpowder! If you put them outside, production safety may not be guaranteed. But in the factory here, there are villagers who are in charge and have strict requirements, just in case they suddenly explode.

The other is the safety of Ming Dynasty, which places gunpowder production elsewhere, including collection, purification, manufacturing, storage, etc.

Once someone intervenes, secretly hides parts, and then uses them in other ways, we have to be wary.

You must keep an eye on the sales of fireworks and firecrackers. If you sell to a merchant in the future, ask the other party to provide information on the sales location and other aspects.

For example, if any big business owner wants to buy a thousand pounds of fireworks and firecrackers at once, we must check. Is it possible to dismantle the gunpowder when buying so many? "

After the chief finished speaking, he took a deep breath and took a drink of tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked: "Yes! That's gunpowder. Various formulas of gunpowder are better or worse than the gunpowder we used before. It depends on what is added to it."

He finally thought of the key issue. Gunpowder could not be handed over to others casually. It had to be handled by specialized craftsmen and guarded by the army.

Today I set it off as something to play with, but actually it can blow up people, it's very powerful.

"In that case, why don't we sell the powerful one? It just so happens that we don't have to worry about hurting the child." Zhu Yuanzhang suggested.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. If you don't sell big firecrackers, children won't be able to dismantle them and light them. However, you have to sell fireworks to make money, and children can't dismantle them."

The head of the village thought of the Marley made in the village, which was indeed quite scary.

　After today, I have a bad stomach again. It looks like I have to drink millet porridge, which is not easy.
