Chapter 2396 What to Do if Logistics Is Not Enough
"The railway is really profitable!" At noon, Bi Gou stared blankly at the sky as he soaked in the hot springs of Zuixianju above Xiaoluonan Village.
The ships of the Shu Salt Gang docked and changed trains to transport the salt to Chang'an. The fee charged was slightly lower than the amount transported to Chang'an by ship.
They enjoy a 10% discount, otherwise the price of rail transportation would be higher than that of water transportation.
The pricing is like this. Firstly, it will leave a way for people in the water transport industry to survive; secondly, it will increase railway profits and use them to continue building railways.
People who don't need to save time use water transportation, and time is the cost to buy a wagon.
Today, the Shu Salt Gang transports 600 million catties of salt, Henan Prefecture unloads 200 million catties, and Jingzhao Prefecture delivers 400 million catties.
The comprehensive cost of a pound of salt is 50 cents, and the profit is 40 cents. The wholesale price is 90 cents per pound, and the retail price is 1 pound per pound.
Retailers need to pay one-thirtieth of the tax, which is three-thirds and three percent, and earn six-to-seven percent.
The Shu Salt Gang doesn't pay taxes, and they earn 240,000 yuan per visit.
After deducting all costs, the money earned is divided according to proportion, and by the way, ‘bonuses’ are given to grassroots salt-makers.
The freight accounted for 40% of the 50 cents cost, 20 cents, which is about 10 cents for a section of the Yangtze River, 4 cents for a section of the canal, and 6 cents for the Yellow River section, including transportation.
The transportation cost of the Yellow River section is 6 cents per catty, and the price of railway transportation is about the same, 600 million catties and 36,000 yuan.
If they pay taxes, they need to calculate it based on sales, which is 30 yuan per tax and 18,000 yuan.
Bi Gou did not get the 18,000 yuan in tax, nor the 36,000 yuan in freight, but only the 1,200 yuan in railway transportation tax.
"I will improve the dispatching and build the canal railway. Then there will be thirty trains every day. Just from collecting taxes, the Ministry of Revenue will be able to get more than 10 million yuan a year."
Li Yi didn't want to irritate Lao Bi. He was getting older and his successor was almost ready and waiting to join the group.
"Based on this calculation, wouldn't the railway earn 300 million yuan a year?"
Bi Gou pulled the floating tray, sat up, took a spoon to scoop out the fried egg meat sauce, and put it into the tofu mixed with green onions.
“Telephone lines need to be laid, coal is money, daily maintenance of the road requires wages, and locomotives and train cars are free?
What I'm talking about are theoretical figures. If there isn't such a large transport volume, what's the use of giving a hundred trains?
There are express trains and slow trains with different charging standards. By then, you may only earn tens of millions of yuan a year. "
Li Yi quickly listed the data and reduced the money.
"How can the Ministry of Revenue collect more than 10 million yuan?"
Bi Gou grasps the key point. If you make less, I will make less.
"The goods shipped also need to pay commercial tax. The railway belongs to the railway, and others are other. Luxury goods are taxed one out of ten, and overseas trade is taxed three out of ten."
Li Yi quickly followed and talked about how to make money.
"What does that have to do with the money you make from the railway? You lied to me."
Bi Goucai will not be fooled. The two types of money are separated. I only ask you about the railway tax.
In addition, even if land and water routes are used, the household department should still earn as much as it needs.
"Anyway, I'll let you earn it." Li Yi also knew that there was not such a large cargo volume.
How many people did the Tang Dynasty have? The train goes from Chang'an to the southern end of the canal. I want to make 300 million yuan a year.
Counting mountain residents and those who have fled their households, the data model provided by the system shows that there should be a population of about 60 million.
On average, one person provides five pieces of rice? If we don't carry out overseas trade, let's just dream. How many families have a total income of less than five cents a year?
He had to find a way to do it. The tax paid by the railway exceeded 10 million yuan.
"I won't believe it until you tell me." Bi Gou turned his head to the side like a child in anger.
Yang Huanjin and Huang Xianrong were soaking in hot springs together: "..."
Is this the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty? Zhongshu Ling?
They looked at Li Yi at the same time, Li Dongzhu, tell us how to pay taxes so that the imperial government can earn 10 million yuan.
"I decorate the passenger carriage and provide services in heaven and earth. As agreed before, women from Pingkangfang and Sigongfang enter the carriage.
As a result, people who want to enjoy that carriage will have to pay 80% tax on the money they spend. "
Li Yi had no choice but to coax and make Lao Bi happy. It was not easy at such an old age!
I wanted to soak in the hot spring pool for a while longer, but if I didn't handle it properly, Lao Bi fell into the hot spring pool, and why did I end up soaking in the hot spring pool? Can only be rescued.
Bi Gou turned back with a smile on his face: "This business sounds reasonable and can be done."
"Yes!" Li Yi started to mix the sauce.
The apprentices wanted to eat tofu mixed with spring onions in the morning, so they thought it would be a good time for everyone to eat together at noon.
Soak in hot springs, eat cold noodles, and the rest are side dishes.
If you are willing to eat mixed dog meat, you will be given a portion. If he refuses to eat it because it is too irritating, he will eat beef with soy sauce.
Unless it is made into a dog meat pot with dried vegetables in it, he will eat two bites of dried vegetables or tofu, dip it in dog sauce, and then have a bowl of rice with dog meat soup to soak the rice.
Today's cold noodle side dishes belong to the Xian people at that time, including platycodon mixed with goubao, spicy cabbage stick kimchi, pork skin cowpea, shredded kelp, sea cabbage, wide dried tofu shreds, soy sauce small potatoes, bracken, perilla leaves, Small garlic, bean flour cake...
There are a lot of them, and they look like a lot, but they are actually just side dishes, not a single ‘hard’ dish.
Yes, dog meat, just this one, if the spicy fish made from cod is also counted, then two.
There are a lot of scallions in the spicy fish. It was marinated in chili sauce this morning. In fact, it is best to marinate it last night, including the spicy fish.
The people in the Shudi Salt Gang have never eaten these complete items, so UU Reading www.uukanshu.net will give them a try.
Let them eat another dish in the evening.
For example, the Manchu Han Banquet at that time... It was impossible at that time. It was impossible to make it without advance preparation.
The Manchu Han Banquet is a real feast, much better than the so-called local tyrants' roast camel feast.
There are ingredients for making the Manchu Han Banquet in the manor, but they can't be made in a few hours.
"Delicious, delicious." Huang Xianrong listened and concentrated on the food in front of him.
The people from the Salt Gang are all taking a hot spring bath. The salt has been sold. There are people to receive it when it is transported to the place, so they don't have to worry about it.
They will see what is loaded on the ship and go home in two days.
600 million jin of salt can meet the needs of Henan Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture and surrounding states.
The people use a lot of sea salt to soak seeds, feed livestock and poultry, and don't use well salt or sea salt. There is salt from the salt lake in Hedong Road.
That salt once supported the entire Guanzhong Road. That salt was bitter, not delicious, and cheap.
Calculated on average, one person has more than 50 jin of well salt, and the actual purchase is about 10 jin per person, which is expensive. Sea salt is cheap, and sea salt is used for other supplements throughout the year.
The remaining salt was taken away by the workshop. The purer the salt, the better it is for the workshop, that is, the cooked food processing workshop.
After the production is completed, wait for the overseas trade fleet to come back and sell it to them.
"Next year, the well salt will not sell well. We need to transform. In addition to adding things and putting it in bamboo tubes, we also need to make salt bricks separately."
Li Yi drank a mouthful of cold noodle soup and said to Yang Huanjin who was chewing the scallion segments in the spicy fish plate.
"Where to sell it?" Yang Huanjin swallowed the food.
"The salt eaten overseas is very bad. Sell it to them. The Salt Gang must expand its business. I can't let the people eat expensive salt to protect your interests."
Li Yi first made it clear that the profit percentage of salt in the future is very small, and it is necessary to make money through volume.
