"Bringing the System to the Tang Dynasty Novel ()" Find the latest chapter!

Wu Jieyu knew the purchasing power of Jingzhao Prefecture's currency, and the price of grain rose a little.

There were too many immigrants, more than three million in total.

The price of salt dropped a lot, and the salt in Shu began to be produced in large quantities.

In order to reduce the impact of salt prices, Shu began to produce a large amount of pickled mustard and pickled plums.

The price of pickled mustard was not low when it was transported to Chang'an. The mustard in Chang'an was different from that in Shu, and it was impossible to produce pickled mustard with the same taste.

Other mustards were made into pickled cabbage lumps.

The clothes, handicrafts, porcelain, and greenhouse vegetables produced by Jingzhao Prefecture were not only consumed by themselves, but also taken away by merchants to sell elsewhere.

Merchants sent things to Jingzhao Prefecture and left with things or exchange coupons.

Exchange coupons are money. Even if merchants do not buy things back, they can still exchange them for goods elsewhere if they earn exchange coupons.

The key is that exchange coupons do not depreciate, but appreciate. The more remote the area, the more difficult it is to receive exchange coupons.

In the past, princesses sold official positions. Thirty strings of cash could be exchanged for a minor official position. Those without real positions were considered officials. They could get real positions in local areas and spend more money to get them.

The current thirty strings of cash have greater purchasing power than before. The people of Jingzhao Prefecture have enjoyed the benefits of paper money.

To be precise, they have enjoyed the benefits of the technology of Lijiazhuangzi.

When one string of cash can live well in Jingzhao Prefecture, this string of cash is more valuable outside.

Zhang Jiuling sent a pigeon to deliver a letter, and the court could profit 100,000 strings of cash from it.

"Your Majesty, if Prime Minister Bi knew, he would definitely be happy." Wu Jieyu said sincerely, thinking about so much money.

"Quick, put Bao'er down and sleep." Li Longji took care of his own child first, and the baby fell asleep.

When Bao'er was put on the cotton mattress, his mouth moved, and his expression looked very good.

The cotton pad is filled with cotton, not soft or hard. It won't work if it is replaced with duck down or cashmere. It's too soft.

There is a shed above the head of the crib. When the baby is sleeping, the shed is lowered to block the direct light, and the scattered warm light will pass through.

When the adults fall asleep, the lights will be turned off, and a small light will be left in the distance to provide dim light to deal with the child waking up.

After an hour, you need to see if the baby wants to drink milk.

This time is the most tiring, especially for mothers who breastfeed.

In fact, it is okay to use a bottle to fill the breast milk in advance, and then warm it up a little, give it to the baby, and the mother sleeps.

However, it is written in the newspaper that if conditions permit, the mother should hold the child and feed it herself.

Wu Jieyu chose to come by herself. Today is the first day. She put on an eye mask. In fact, she couldn't sleep and kept thinking about the child.

"The money will be directly transferred to the road construction, and the Ministry of Households can't get it." Li Longji looked at his son and talked about the issue of taxation.

This tax will help Guangzhou build roads from Guangzhou to the east and west, and the road to the north of Guangzhou will be built by Lijiazhuangzi and the court.

If Guangzhou goes to other places, it must have a road without taking the sea route.

The local mountain people in Guangzhou and Luzhou should have roads if there are villages.

Zhang Jiuling is responsible for the money. He understands the importance of roads and will not spend money recklessly, let alone embezzle.

He will definitely keep an eye on where every penny goes and use it for the local people he hired. With his character, he will definitely deal with any official who dares to reach out.

His position cannot provide him with the power to deal with other officials, but he has pigeons.

If any official commits a crime, he will write an impeachment and fly back. He uses pigeons. How much does it cost for a pigeon to fly once?

According to his and Li Yi's thoughts, he will guarantee to send back an imperial edict, or send Yulin Flying Cavalry to go there personally, temporarily giving Zhang Jiuling the power to kill anyone?

"Your Majesty, is it worth it? Spend so much money to repair roads in remote areas." Wu Jieyu still thinks that the money should be brought back and allocated to the court.

"Worth it!" Li Longji said firmly.

…

"Envoy Zhang, the family of Yan Bang, the county magistrate of Shiyuan County, took over the task of repairing the road from Shiyuan County to Guangzhou. The price quoted was twice as high as others, and Shiyuan County actually gave it to them."

Inside the Guangzhou Maritime Customs, it was dark, and the kerosene lamp was lit. Under the lamp, Zhang Jiuling was eating.

Sitting opposite him was Wei Yuefeng, who was helping the Li family's manor to sell things.

When Wei Yuefeng first came to Chang'an, he ran to the side of Princess Yongmu's manor to sell pepper powder with onion seeds in it.

Li Yi grabbed it, asked for onion seeds, and brought things to them to sell.

The onions have not been planted yet. It's not time yet. They can only be planted next month.

What is planted is the seeds. After more than half a year, the bulbs that are eaten normally are collected, the bad bulbs are eaten, and the good bulbs are left.

If they are planted in September, there will be onion seeds in June of the following year.

Just like carrots and green onions, if you want seeds, it will take two years, and if you don't want seeds, it will take one year.

Wei Yuefeng sold all his stuff, and the person who cheated him before was also arrested. He compensated him a lot of money, otherwise he would be threatened with death.

He did not ship the stuff back to Li Yi, and was temporarily responsible for intelligence work.

Zhang Jiuling has collected a lot of taxes, mainly for stuff. The foreign merchants have no money. If they want to sell their goods, they have to pay 10% tax.

Take 10% of the stuff directly. If they want to buy, there is no tax for the time being, but the merchants of the Tang Dynasty have to pay 10% tax.

This 10% tax will be exchanged to the foreign merchants first, and in exchange for stuff, it is a 20% tax.

Wait for Li Yi's letter to come, and then add 10% tax to the foreign merchants. The foreign merchants have to pay 20% tax, and the Tang merchants pay 10% tax.

Add up to 30% tax. Is 30% tax high? 30% tariff is normal, right?

This tax is collected directly, not according to the price.

Otherwise, with a 100% tariff, will the goods be confiscated directly after they are delivered?

A 100% tariff means that a pound of spices brought by foreign merchants can normally be exchanged for a piece of silk.

Double the tax is a piece of silk, and this pound of spices needs to be sold for more than the price of a piece of silk to make money.

It depends on what the thing is. For grain, zero tariff, the Tang Dynasty is short of grain, come and sell it.

If it is gold, 30%, what is the use of so much gold for the people of the Tang Dynasty?

Any necessities of the Tang Dynasty and irreplaceable products can be reduced in tariffs, otherwise they will be increased.

This is the reason why the tax on luxury goods is high. Can you die without luxury goods? No!

What about medicinal materials? The Tang Dynasty does not have them, and they are still needed for treatment. UU reading books www.uukaｎshu.net zero tariffs, can you die without medicine? Yes!

The Tang Dynasty is short of food, and a large amount of food is sent over, the price is still cheap, no tax is collected, and even some extra treatment can be given.

For example, the reduction of ship berthing fees and the tax reduction of other goods brought by it.

There is more food and the price is low, which has an impact on the local farmers.

At this time, tariffs cannot be increased, but grain farmers are subsidized, the court purchases, and the price is fixed, so that the farmers in the country do not suffer losses.

But the farmers must not be allowed to stop farming, otherwise, if the people who deliver grain stop delivering grain, how many people will starve to death?

People trade with each other for what they need, but the trade between countries is not so simple.

It's not just about losing and making money, there are also basics!
