Chapter 632 No Worries About the Trade Hall
Chapter 633 No need to worry about the trade hall (third update)
The questions in the scriptures are simple, and the Fu has already answered the questions correctly.
Looking at current affairs policies, one is to talk about the economic and cultural exchanges between Datang and Khitan.
One is to talk about the importance of military industry development to the Tang army, and the other is to talk about the benefits of taxation to the country and the people.
One is to talk about the influence of greenhouse vegetables on the people of the North, and the other is to talk about the importance of the Tang Navy.
None of the five current affairs policies involved Tubo.
After Lijiazhuangzi's students who came to take the exam finished copying the Dan Zeng Fu, most of them sat there in a daze.
Others who were not in a daze were wiping away tears. They were taking the imperial examinations and failed every year. It was so difficult.
Finally, when we arrived at Lijiazhuangzi, we had food and drink, relatives came to pick us up, and the questions for the exam...
Are the test questions set by the proprietor himself? Otherwise, why are all the questions except Tie Jing written by me that I have practiced intensely in the recent period?
"If I had known this, why would I have practiced Tubo's current affairs policy? It would have wasted my time."
Some students muttered that he was the kind of free-thinking person and believed that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was very low.
I regret it very much now. If I have the time, I will write the Dan Zeng Fu properly.
Let's copy. Keep copying. When you finish copying, you can go back. You won't have lunch. Speed up and go back to Zhuangzi to eat.
After being in a daze, the students broke out again and wrote crazily.
Don't say hell, just copy it as soon as possible today and leave immediately.
"Xiao Yi, do you know what current affairs policy the test is about?" Bi Gou knew the question today and even more about how it came about.
"Except for Tubo, that's all. Today's young people really don't understand the situation in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Today's young people?"
Bi Gou looked at Li Yi's velvety beard and didn't understand how the word 'young' could come out from there.
"Yeah! Even if some candidates look old, it shows that Datang's job positions and publicity and education are not enough."
Li Yi saw candidates who were forty or fifty years old and still came over, hoping to pass the imperial examination and climb up.
Just like the civil service exam at that time, as long as there were no restrictions on fresh graduates, there were still many people who wanted to take the exam.
The imperial examination is not about getting into college, it is about getting a good job.
The purpose of the imperial examination was to become an official. In the Tang Dynasty, apart from being an official, there seemed to be no other good jobs.
Bi Gou looked around: "Bring me some tea."
"Who are you looking at? I'm here. Taohong and the others are sleeping in the car behind." Li Yi got up and went to make tea.
There were only Yulin Feiqi around to protect Li Yi, and it was impossible for them to make tea for Bi Gou.
"Xiao Yi, the tea you drink always comes from big leaves. Where's the first-grade tea?"
Bi Gou discovered that as long as Li Yi drinks tea, it is guaranteed to be the fourth grade, big leaf.
"I don't like to drink it. I only drink water when I drink tea. I don't eat the young buds. I may have something to do at any time. After making tea, I might as well find an opportunity to sell it."
Li Yi smiled and said, don't look at him taking out Kung Fu tea, he usually only makes one kind.
If something goes wrong after a drink, stop drinking, throw it away, and don’t feel bad.
After the tea had cooled down a bit, Bi Gou blew on it and took a sip.
"Xiao Yi, I have an idea, let me tell you, you can help me and see if it works."
"Okay, Lao Bi, as long as it's not a rebellion, everything will be easy to handle."
Li Yi turned around and took out another plate of pine nuts and two small pliers.
Bi Gou ignored Li Yi's joke. He took a small pair of pliers and pinched open a pine nut.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs is going to choose a place where the merchants can discuss the price. Once the discussion is completed, the tax can be collected directly. Do you think the merchants will agree?"
"Lao Bi, what did you come up with?" Li Yi looked at Bi Gou like a giant panda.
"Do you think anyone else can think of it?" Bi Gou blew his beard.
"Old Bi Mo is angry, I just want to ask, okay, a good way, this is called the commodity trading hall." Li Yi agreed.
"What do you do?" Bi Gou heard the new term and wanted to understand it.
“Where prices are discussed, officials are responsible for helping merchants list important information and place it in a conspicuous position.
Buying and selling are divided into two areas.
When merchants come in, they will look in two areas to evaluate the price of their goods and the things they want to buy.
Then the price is negotiated, and the Ministry of Revenue provides a guarantee. Without the guarantee of the government helping to inspect the goods, this hall has no meaning in existence. "
Li Yijian said as he picked up the tea, sipped it gently and gave Bi Gou time to think.
Bi Gou lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while he said: "Good idea, let's tell you what the product is like. If it's not the same, the two sides will start arguing again."
He thought about the role of the Ministry of Finance's intervention, which was crucial.
"There is a drawback." Li Yi put down the tea cup.
"Look, Lao Bi, a shipment of goods should be taxed at one hundred cents, and thirty cents per tax. The total price of the goods is three thousand cents. If the transaction price is two thousand cents..."
Li Yi asked another question.
Some merchants have already agreed on the price in private, come to the hall to negotiate, and the price of three thousand mins is negotiated for two thousand mins.
The tax is not one hundred cents, but sixty-six cents, six hundred and sixty-six cents.
The seller saved more than thirty-three cents, and he and the buyer both took advantage.
A min is worth a thousand yuan, don't look at the Li family Zhuangzi who often donates money in units of ten thousand min and defrauds other countries of their money.
In fact, Lijiazhuangzi's daily expenses are not very high. Including the workshop, five hundred coins a day is enough.
What if it’s a luxury item with a tax of 1/20 or even a tax of 10/10?
The transaction price was reduced to 5,000 yuan, and both parties negotiated behind the scenes.
The tax involved was 500 yuan, and the Ministry of Household Affairs paid the compensation.
Bi Gou started drinking tea, and after a few sips, he picked pine nuts there, making a crackling sound.
He was worried. Yes, if he collected taxes in the way he thought, both sides would fool the Ministry of Revenue together.
"What can we do? What should we do?" Bi Gou muttered.
His follower couldn't stand it anymore and touched Bi Gou's leg.
When Bi Gou looked over, he signaled to Bi Gou with his eyes, isn't there a Li Dongzhu next to him!
"Xiao Yi can teach me?" Bi Gou understood, yes, what's the use of thinking by myself?
The person next to him answered every question, no matter what.
"Set up the Ministry of Revenue to purchase funds and open a sales counter. When merchants enter the hall, they will first look at the agreement. The Ministry of Revenue has the right to increase the price to buy."
Li Yi gave a solution. He couldn't directly set the price for the other party's goods, so he would block it.
Bi Gou smiled, looked at his follower, and expressed his appreciation. It was really smart.
He understood that the other party dared to sell a luxury product worth 10,000 strings for 5,000 strings, and the Ministry of Revenue added 100 strings to buy it.
If the other party says they don't want to sell, check. Are there any merchants who don't want to make more money? There is a problem.
Check the other party's purchase price, transportation markup and other data. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
If you find it, you will do your best to deal with it.
Just like Li Yi was punished for declaring at a low price at the time.
Including the company's capital flow, private transactions to avoid taxes, issuing low-price invoices to report losses, and converting costs.
If you want to check, you can find it, you can't run away.
"Okay, Xiaoyi, you have helped the Ministry of Revenue again." Bi Gou stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Yi's head.
"Can you charge me less tax? Consider it as a consulting fee." Li Yi thought that he helped and should enjoy preferential policies.
"Xiaoyi, why is your pine nut so easy to break when you pick it up?"
Bi Gou retracted his hand, picked up a pine nut and squeezed it hard with pliers, and it broke.
"Because his face is not thick enough and can't withstand such a great force." Li Yi despised.
