Chapter 502: Seafood Tax Begins First

"Zui Xianju dug out warm soup and said it is still drinkable."

Zhang said he didn't think about mooncakes, the moon, or homesickness. He talked about the benefits Li Yi got.

In the past, warm soup was found in Lantian County, which was used by the people themselves. There was no need to use firewood to take a bath, and it was warm in winter.

Later, it was occupied by the royal family. The common people could not wash and were not allowed to go downstream. It was a large area.

Now Li Yi dug out one, how to calculate this...?

"Let the royal family occupy it, I will submit a letter." Yao Chong gritted his teeth.

"Haha!" Wei Zhigu laughed, he didn't think Yao Chong had the courage.

Li Yi's contribution to the Tang Dynasty was too great. He was just a third-grade literary official. What's wrong with being a warm soup?

If you dare to write a letter, Li Yi will immediately know that it is you and someone has spread the news.

Li Yi, who was in charge of Turks and the others, wanted to finish their horses, and he had some free time recently, so he gave the Ministry of Household Affairs an idea to sell noodles.

If he feels that you are too much of a bother, he might take some time to figure out how to deal with you.

Bi Gou, who attended the banquet together, was thinking about selling noodles before and heard several people talking about the warm soup in Lantian County.

He said: "Li Yi probably bought Zuixianju because he knew there was a warm soup there. From now on, if we don't need your Majesty's reward, we can go and wash it."

"How much soup can he make from his warm soup? The asking price must be very high, otherwise he won't make any money. I'm waiting for the benefit for nothing?"

Yao Chong was moved. He also wanted to go to the hot springs. The hot springs around Jingzhao Mansion were monopolized by the royal family.

It is usually left there not in use and not allowed to be used by others.

Only those who are rewarded will be allowed to take a dip.

There is one outside, but it's too far.

Finally, a new one came out of Lantian County. It was impossible for the royal family to ask Li Yi for it.

Li Yi's place charges high prices, so he always goes to wash it. If the prime minister doesn't spend money, will he be criticized?

Bi Gou looked at Yao Chong: "Didn't Yuan Zhi go to Lijiazhuangzi to wash in the pool?"

"Washed once." Yao Chong recalled, and then realized: "He will build a large bath in Zuixianju? Get water from the warm soup? Just call it a soup pool?"

Everyone nodded together. Li Yi couldn't think of something that we can all think of?

There are so many positions. He can repair them at will, one on the left and one on the right, to fetch water.

Bi Gou put down the moon cake but didn't eat it. He was going to take it home. Heaven and earth gave him a small amount, but the filling was good, stuffed with beef and meat floss.

He ate hot pot: "Before today's winter, there will be many bathhouses in Bashui, Chang'an Chengzhong, no one will follow suit.

This household department wants to collect taxes, so it must first collect taxes from Li Yi's bathhouse, and others can't say anything.

There are some objections in the court, please help me. The household is poor, and if you don’t want to get money, you will not be able to survive. "

"Didn't His Majesty take out a lot of unused things from the right storehouse and give them to the Ministry of Revenue? The Ministry of Revenue sells them to subsidize the state."

Zhang said that if he didn’t believe Bi Gou’s miserable sales, the rent of the Ministry of Household Affairs had not changed this year, and the expenditure had not increased.

In the southwestern barbarians, it is normal to use the government's money, and your Majesty's own money is used to dig wells.

Li Yi doesn't have a penny to do research and inventions.

Li Yi provided the money for Beitianfang and the official school. Together with the Tang Dynasty Fund of the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of Household Affairs even saved money.

Right Zangzhong contains the tribute sent from the local area for the royal family.

His Majesty saw that there was not enough to use, so he asked someone to clean it up, and gave all the things that were not easy to store for a long time to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Isn't this...isn't it necessary to issue currency in the future? Let's accumulate more!" Bi Gou muttered in a low voice.

"Long Ze, the Ministry of Household Affairs can't save much money. If we need to build roads, we will build them. If we need to build water conservancy, we will build water conservancy. Li Yi and His Majesty are saving."

Lu Huaishen advised Bi Gou that when it came to money, in his mind, the ten household departments put together were not as good as one Li family village.

Whether Li Yi comes up with ways to make money depends on his mood. He needs money and wants to do something big. If the money is not enough, he will release new products.

In Lijiazhuangzi, Li Yi, who is said to be able to make money casually, is really thinking about how to make money.

To be precise, it was the partnership between Li Chengqi and him. Li Chengqi wanted to ask.

"This year, more oysters, dried clams, dried shrimps, dried shrimps, and sea cabbage will be delivered. Will they still be sold in the winter as they were last year?"

"Are there any businessmen following suit?" Li Yi was half full, stopped eating, and put down his chopsticks.

"Yes, things in coastal areas have increased in price. I asked people to go to the sea area of ​​​​Khitan to fish for it. It is better than elsewhere."

Li Chengqi didn't eat much food and kept sipping wine. He talked about going to Bohai Bay to catch seafood and seemed very happy.

"Collect taxes on all large quantities of seafood brought by ship or land in Chang'an.

Tell them that if they don't pay tax, the price will be lowered below their cost line, pay tax, and then negotiate to determine the price according to different grades.

By the way, if you pay the tax, you can get points in the future. If you don’t pay the tax, you won’t be given points.

The more taxes you pay, the higher your points. The points for direct donation are half of the tax points. "

Li Yi thought of a new way to give points, so that everyone can have a concept of getting benefits from paying taxes.

If you donate directly, you can get the same points, and others will wait until they need points before donating.

Taxation is the foundation of the country, and donations are auxiliary.

"Other industries don't charge taxes?" Li Chengqi thought about fairness.

"How can other industries be as profitable as the seafood industry? Jewelry is very profitable, but it is difficult to restrict it at the moment, and I don't know how much the jewelry is paid for."

Li Yi is not in a hurry to collect commercial taxes comprehensively, but first collects them from seafood in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Last year I made a lot of money selling oysters and sea cabbage, and this year I added sea rice and dried shrimps.

Chang'an has a high consumption level, many people buy, and the profit is always high.

"Okay, give the Ministry of Revenue a sweet deal first. I will go and talk to other people. If they don't agree, I will lower the price of each ship and I will lower the price than them."

Li Chengqi agreed.

He collected in other coastal areas, and the price was similar to that of other merchants.

The freight was low, and it was done by canal transportation. Just pay a little money, and other merchants couldn't squeeze into the canal boats.

The cold waters of the Bohai Bay were dispatched by the Tang navy, and only those who were soldiers could work.

There were piles of fish caught at a time, and people on the coast didn't eat much at all, not to mention the places occupied by the Khitan.

The seafood caught was large and good in appearance.

He gave bonuses to the navy, and gave a lot. The navy was happy. One reason was that they got an extra salary that they couldn't get for a year.

The other reason was that the navy had money and could continue to repair ships, proving that they had value.

The fishermen's boats were incomparable to the navy's boats. The navy went out once, and it was dozens or hundreds of times that of the fishermen.

He lowered the price to sell, and other merchants who also transported seafood had no chance of survival.

"Brother, how did the talks with the Khitans go?" Li Yi thought of asking the Khitans to help grow cotton.

At that time, the southern part of Liaoning was suitable for growing cotton. The yield was not as good as other places, but it could still be grown.

"We are willing to grow it next year. We need to exchange grain with them. They also agreed to soybeans. We want to exchange them for iron."

Li Chengqi shook his head when he talked about the Khitan's request. The Tang Dynasty lacked iron, and he didn't want to exchange.

"Send them a batch of luxury goods and see if they will change their minds." Li Yi also didn't want to give iron.

The other party guaranteed that they would make weapons after getting iron. With more weapons, they would turn around and attack the Tang Dynasty.

"It has been sent. They want to exchange with other local specialties. The people I sent agreed to exchange, and the exchange price is being negotiated."

Li Chengqi smiled. Obviously, he had taken a big advantage of the exchange quantity given by the other party until now.

But we have to continue the talks, otherwise the other party may regret it again at any time.
