Chapter 607: Commercial Taxes Seek Stability, Pepper Is Expensive

"Bi Shangshu, in seven days, the tax collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs is almost 820,000 yuan." The minister reminded kindly again.

This is more than 800,000 yuan. The rent and adjustment received last year were converted into money, which was 9.2 million yuan.

Greenhouse vegetables can still be sold for many days. Even if the price drops in the future, I believe it will be no problem to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in taxes.

Lijiazhuangzi's kerosene lamps and thermos bottles continue to be sold, and there is still money.

"Business tax should be collected, yes, Xiao Yi is good, he took the initiative to pay the business tax, and also gave the idea of ​​collecting the tax.

Even if the tax is thirty to one, how many taxable transactions does Datang have every day? other places……"

Bi Gou said, but when he talked about other places, he became less happy.

This is Chang'an, where there are many rich people, either in Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yizhou, Luoyang and other places.

There is not that much money in other places, and it is impossible for people to spend an average of more than 100 yuan per person in seven days to buy vegetables.

The people in Chang'an City actually spent more, but they just bought them years ago and wrapped them in newspapers or wrapped them in oil paper for storage.

"Bi Shangshu, we must quickly promote tax collection throughout the Tang Dynasty." The minister was even more happy.

"No, we must advance steadily, don't be impatient, and must not cause harm to the merchants. As long as the merchants pay taxes normally, we, Datang, will have a lot of money."

Bigou suddenly calmed down again, and he felt scared.

Money needs to pass through the hands of local officials.

The court is talking about collecting taxes and local officials have a name. What will they do?

Yao Chong waved his hand and asked the minister to leave. He sat down and began to write the memorial.

Your Majesty must be asked to strictly manage local officials and come up with new plans.

As long as the merchants pay the taxes normally, Datang's money will be enough.

If the businessman is harmed because of this and the hen is killed, will there still be eggs?

Lijiazhuangzi.

"Brother Yi, I brought you two hundred kilograms of pepper. You can eat it with confidence. This thing is too expensive, and you have to feed the horse."

When Li Chengqi got pepper, the first thing he thought of was Li Yi, so he brought it to him.

"From Jiangnan East Road?" Li Yi asked.

"It can be grown in the southwest, but not in other places." Li Chengqi pointed to the southwest.

"Brother, there is one thing. For this pepper, Guizhou and Rongzhou below Jiangnan East Road, Lingnan Road, and Qianzhong Road are the most suitable for planting.

Especially in Leizhou, pepper cultivation there is very good. It grows like crazy. Millions of kilograms of pepper can be harvested in Leizhou in a year. "

Li Yi named the most suitable place for growing pepper.

Now it is actually grown in the southwest, where there is a fight with the southwest. Of course it is expensive.

As for Leizhou, that is, Hainan, at that time, the annual output of dried pepper was more than 40 million kilograms.

"That shabby place in Leizhou..." Li Chengqi's eyes widened.

Leizhou, if an official is exiled there, he will be killed.

It's not as good as Yuezhou and other places, but fortunately it gives people a way to survive.

How many millions of kilograms of pepper can be produced in a year if pepper is grown there?

Li Chengqi was sweating and was completely frightened.

Pepper is very expensive, that is to say, Li Jia Zhuangzi feels sorry for Ma and gives him a handful occasionally.

If there are millions of kilograms, then...it seems not expensive, rather than making more money, unless there are restrictions on sales.

"Brother, send someone to plant it, otherwise others will sell pepper to us and make a lot of money. Why?"

Li Yi thought that it was the trade surplus elsewhere in the pepper foreign trade that was detrimental to Datang.

"Yes, send someone, who should you send? Let me make it clear. It is not exile. You have to give medicine and toilet water. There are many mosquitoes there."

Li Chengqi began to filter the list in his mind, looking for the person he trusted the most, and agreed with the person that he would grow pepper.

Li Yi thought about it: "If I go there, I can take care of the local mountain people in less than a year and let them help grow pepper."

"No, Brother Yi, you stay in Zhuangzi. There are people, there are candidates." Li Chengqi refused without thinking.

He knew that wherever he sent Yi Di, he would be safe, and the local area would be well managed by Yi Di.

It's just that he can't be sent. The greatest effect would be if Brother Yi stayed in Chang'an.

Another important thing is Yi Di's medical skills. If anyone gets sick and cannot be cured, please go directly to Yi Di.

It's a life-saving thing. Brother Yi is out. What if everyone gets sick or dies?

"In that case, brother, let's arrange it. There are two ways to plant, one is to raise seedlings from seeds, and the other is to take cuttings.

The growth rate of cuttings is faster than that of seedlings, which is to use seeds to promote seedlings and then plant them.

To take cuttings, you need to find a pepper tree and take branches from it.

I will write out both methods for you, including what kind of land, how to fertilize, and care during the growing period.

If placed in other places, it can usually take four years to give birth; if placed in Leizhou, it can take three years. "

Li Yi said and went to get a pen. He wanted to write it down and draw some pictures to make people see the pictures more clearly.

"It takes three years, not much. It will take many more years to cultivate pearls." Li Chengqi actually hopes to have peppers planted this year.

Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind and knew that was impossible.

He watched Li Yi writing there and sat quietly drinking tea.

He did not think at all that his brother Yi did not understand pepper cultivation and was writing and drawing blindly.

He was thinking about how to arrange people. In three years, the most loyal people would be sent there.

Three years later, when the harvest begins, will this person be transferred back, or will he continue to be assigned there?

If you transfer it back, you have to give it a very high treatment, otherwise it will be thrown away after you use it.

Just like pearl cultivation, pearl cultivation uses crushed shellfish shells, puts them in, and then the beads come out.

The managers all agreed that after the pearls were found, they could come back immediately if they wanted, and stay for a while if they didn't.

It turned out that there were so many places suitable for growing pepper, especially in Leizhou.

The local mountain people were a problem, why couldn't there be another person like Brother Yi?

Li Chengqi was worried. He always sent others over, but they were always slow and didn't handle things well enough.

"Brother, you have to trust some people and tell them the specific problems in advance. They will have countermeasures. There are many smart and capable people."

Li Yi seemed to see his brother's entanglement.

He was efficient in the past because he had money. If he spent money, the mountain people would feel the friendship.

Others might spend less money and get better results.

Look at the officials who are fighting for power in the court now. None of them are given for free.

Because those who are not good enough have been eliminated long ago, or even have no qualification to enter the court at all.

Some of them helped Li Longji seize the throne. They were given an official position, but later they were thrown into the local area.

Some people feel lost. When the power they obtained through speculation is gone, they will never recover.

Some people have enough ability to work in the local area, and then return to the court.

This is the emperor's calculation, the great waves wash away the sand. UU reads books www.uukanshhu.net

"Brother Yi, write another way to govern the local area, and I will let people learn it."

Li Chengqi didn't know that Li Yi's mind was drifting, he wanted people to follow it.

"I will write a few methods for people to refer to, you don't need to follow them completely, just apply them flexibly."

Li Yi agreed, because the profit of pepper is there.

Even if the output is 5 million jin a year, it is still a good price in the Tang Dynasty.

If it is half cheaper, more people will buy and eat it.

If it is one-tenth of the current price, the number of people willing to buy it will at least double twenty times.

A pair of shoes worth one thousand yuan may only be bought by ten thousand people.

A pair of shoes worth one hundred yuan is definitely not bought by one hundred thousand people, but by one million people.
