"And," Zheng Lang said.

"With?" Zhang Fangping immediately thought and asked again: "The commercial tax has been reduced."

It is not an merger, but a merger. 50,000 yuan of goods will be a huge quantity. There will not be many more transactions in a single transaction. There are very few. However, if a few or more companies join forces and those who have the right to cause trouble are wealthy merchants, it is easy to reach 20,000 yuan of goods or 50,000 yuan of goods. Besides, Zheng Lang refers to a single transaction, not a single piece. Money, rice, salt, cloth, tea, and several companies join forces. Is it difficult to collect 50,000 yuan of goods?

Commercial tax will inevitably be sharply reduced.

Zheng Lang said: "An Dao is wrong. Even so, it is better than not having friends."

Zhao Xu shook his head and smiled a little bitterly.

Not as pessimistic as Zhang Fangping thought. Zheng Lang had long thought about this issue. Some people say that equal land, cracking down on tyrants, and clarifying the administration of officials were the foundation for the Song Dynasty to become stronger. But is that possible?

Not to mention that the only people who starve to death during hunger meals were not seen starving to death, and the brigade cadres did not starve to death. What kind of average era was that, and it was not actually averaged!

Even if it is achieved, in this era, people will use their ideas and ideas to overthrow this country, decades later, the people will recover, and the gap between the rich and the poor will be widened again. It can only be said that if the court is sober, it can use some active means to bring more vitality to the poor and reduce the complaints of the people. Even if the officials and governments are clear-headed, they will be clear.

In history, the old party was to protect the interests of the powerful, and the new party was not to crack down on the powerful. In essence, it was to eat old and young, and the powerful were good, or to make money together. Cai Jing was different, and he was harsh and wealthy, but not wealthy, so it seemed that he had succeeded, and he had many wealthy people who had maintained his wealth.

Not a good practice.

Zheng Lang's approach is to help poor households and give some wealthy households more opportunities. A fairer institutional environment. The powerful are slightly exploited. But at the same time, he uses humility among the supervisors. The richer the richer the "rich", the heavier Wang Anshi becomes, so he has a serious opposition. In fact, how much can Wang Anshi get from the powerful? It makes people doubt.

Therefore, Zheng Lang corrected Wang Anshi's approach. This time was earlier, such as the exemption from service, and Wang Anshi also calculated the property. The more property he had, the more he had. Zheng Lang was on the contrary, the more property he had, the more he had, the more he had.

This time the commercial tax refund is similar.

We must highlight the status of a powerful person, so that they feel that the policies still make them stand high and that they still have a sense of superiority. Otherwise, even if they pass, they will inevitably overthrow in decades, and more overthrow will be overthrowed at that time.

In fact, it is better to be able to conquer a single article than to be able to conquer a piece of meat, at least they can turn from the meaning to cutting down a piece of meat and spending money to the court.

It seems very unfair, and this concession can only benefit the powerful. If a small and medium-sized businessman has a single payment of 50,000 yuan, it is only a few companies that can make up 50,000 yuan. It would be good if he could make up 50,000 yuan. But there is one thing that Zheng Lang did not say, flexible and maneuverable!

Although big merchants can avoid three-quarters of taxation, or even more. However, the quantity of goods is huge and the purchase and sales speed is slow, it is not as flexible as that of small and medium-sized merchants. The reason can also be used in steel supervision. After the steel supervision technology is mature, the court will gradually add dozens of steel supervision, that is, the original steel mills, which seem to damage small and medium-sized blacksmiths in various places. However, small and medium-sized blacksmiths also have their own advantages, which can meet the needs of customers to make iron tools, without transportation and much tax costs, and as long as they are adjusted in time, they can still survive.

Everyone avoids three-quarters of the tax. As long as the tax is not evaded, the commercial tax in the Song Dynasty will not be reduced. But this is impossible. No matter how much you give it, there are still people who continue to want to pay a penny of tax and don’t want to pay it. No matter how much you give it, most small and medium-sized businessmen who actually pay taxes may not be able to enjoy this welfare benefit, and can only enjoy the housing tax of minus one percent.

However, after this transfer, the court will occupy a moral high ground. With the cooperation of reporting systems in various places, the number of people who evade tax will be reduced. Relatively speaking, commercial tax may not be reduced.

After much trouble, it means to implement a healthier and more reasonable business tax system in the country and be recognized by most people. Commercial tax will become more and more important in the future. Not to mention the cumbersome effect brought by the supervision, it is just how much a bank promotes business, and there are also the exemption law and other policies that further support the development of business. At this time, the business prosperity of the Song Dynasty can be said to have never been seen in any era in history. And it is progressing every year. If it continues to maintain healthy development, it is possible that before Zheng Lang dies, it may reach the commercial level of the Qing Dynasty in the middle and late Qing dynasties. Then a healthier business tax environment is needed. If a large household does not pay a penny of tax, how can health come about?

The small and medium-sized merchants behind him did not say anything. Zheng Lang only said the front in front of Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao. Gao Taotao said for most of the day: "Mr. Zheng, I'm interested."

Gao Taotao thought Zheng Lang was intentional, so he secretly supported him tacitly, and Zhang Fangping also had to admit that Zheng Lang was intentional.

Zheng Lang said again: "Andao, prepare gold and silver."

"Bank Supervisor?" Zhang Fangping immediately reacted, what Zheng Lang wanted to do.

“That’s right.”

“It’s too early.”

"My plan is to expand the shares twice. This is just a plan. Can't I divide it into three, four, and five times?"

"I'll arrange it."

"Don't leak."

"I understand this."

The two left the inner palace with the edict.

The edict was issued, and a group of businessmen left happily.

Zheng Lang was probably unhappy because he gave in too much, so he took three days off and stayed at home. On the fourth day, he went to Zhongshu. Fu Bi looked at Zheng Lang and sighed, "Why bother?"

Not only did the court make concessions, but there was also a better news coming.

The Hangzhou Steel Supervision was established. After years of research and improvement, the steel smelting technology has matured. With equal defense, the weight of the armor was truly reduced to 30 kilograms. At the same time, the production speed was faster. The smelting steel could be officially used as armor weapons after a second hammer, which further reduced the cost. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict to transform the Huazhou Steel Supervision and formally place an order to the Steel Supervision next year, which also means that the Steel Supervision Commission will generate a large amount of dividends.

But there is one thing that Zheng Lang is not very satisfied with.

It is still smelting technology and mining technology. There is no shortage of mineral sources in my hands. The mineral exploration technology was also quite developed in the Song Dynasty. However, the real smelting technology and mining technology still did not reach the point where he was satisfied, and the research and development of detonators was not much progress. On the contrary, several craftsmen were sacrificed.

If you want industrial progress, in addition to various technologies, there is another term, the Iron and Steel Age. New technologies have been introduced to Ping An Supervision, but Zheng Lang estimated that the total iron production of the Song Dynasty would not exceed 100,000 tons. The quantity was far from enough, let alone the Iron and Steel Age.

But you have to take this slowly. You can't hurry for a while.

However, others were unable to think of what shortcomings were there, and they thought it was very good. As for the merchants, what was the Iron Age, what was the Song Dynasty after a few hundred years. They only thought of the profits brought by the maturity of technology. Two positive news came out, and complaints finally became less.

At the end of the year, another new measure will be introduced.

This measure will be controversial, but not very much.

It is aimed at the three routes of the edge.

The densest-popular area in the Song Dynasty was the southeast, followed by Jingdong and Hebei. Hebei was actually the southern region, and the northern population was still not dense. As for the large areas of Hedong and Shaanxi Road, they were still empty, for various reasons, the mountainous terrain, fearing the invasion of Xixia and Khitan. Cold weather, etc.

Zheng Lang targets these areas.

There are all people. It is a little scarce, but many places are half ploughed and half deserted. Some people leave after the water and soil deteriorate. Some soldiers camp on land and open villages, and their management is not good, and they become deserted. Some people have little profit, resulting in scarce local people.

Some time ago, Zheng Lang sent four senior officials to investigate the hidden fields in the four directions, and there were also various officials accompanying him, which caused a lot of opposition.

Hidden Field must be checked.

But not only Hidden Field, but also this plan.

To further develop some special terrains, first of all, the local population must be sparse, so the court can make proper arrangements. Secondly, there are mountains, waters, and small river valleys. Without water, there is no interest value. The mountain blocking system can only be adopted and the water and soil can be protected. It must be semi-waste and has value in use, because the court has no organization, and the local people are like slash-and-burn farming, and the farming is not properly cultivated, so the value generated is not great. It cannot have military value. If it is involved in military factors, it cannot be moved.

Let the inventory officials check these areas together to verify and measure them.

Then, for auction, the court provided a condition to provide manpower to open up roads for each auction site and open up interactions with the outside world. The second is to auction the operating rights for fifty years. Within fifty years, the court shall not collect any taxes.

The actual properties of the mines sold at auction are similar to those in the shop.

The government lost money in business, but it was handed over to the merchants, and it immediately turned into a money-making project.

These areas are not worth much, but they are left to large farmers to operate. With capital in hand, they plant mulberry, hemp, fruit trees, bamboo and wood on the mountain, alfalfa on the ground, and then raise a large amount of livestock free of charge. Livestock can be sold for money, and livestock manure is the best fertilizer. You can be fattened mountains and fertile valleys below, plant grain, and form a cycle. Don’t transport too far. Three routes have hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, including family members and related personnel, which can reach more than one million people. Then you can make a profit.

But it can only be run by large investors. They have capital in their hands and can afford it. It is not possible for small investors. Can they wait for ten or eight years before they can fully achieve results?

It may not be necessary to raise much money, not for money, but for border defense logistics and the development of border areas. Run by these big merchants, many places in the border areas can soon turn waste into treasures. The grain or livestock they produce is mainly provided to soldiers, which is actually equivalent to making money. Purchasing grain and meat from the local area is just a transportation loss, which invisibly saves a lot of money for the court. In addition, the production methods in the border areas are not very good, and advanced production methods will drive more people to learn, the production efficiency of the entire border area will improve, the lives of the people will improve, and the dependence of soldiers on the south and the Central Plains will also further decrease. The development of the border areas will have a temptation to the people in the Khitan and Xixia.

A number of eagles are counted with one arrow.

But there must be several prerequisites.

It must be densely populated. Zheng Lang organized several batches of immigrants on a large scale, just for publicity and did not dare to immigrate forcibly. Some people have done it, such as Wang Mang, forcibly immigrating, which led to chaos in the world. Yang Guang has also done it, forcibly immigrating criminals to Qinghai, which has also caused complaints from the world.

Zheng Lang still dares to use forced means?

What they provide is to explore the road, and immigration has not been mentioned, regardless of it. How merchants bewitched by the people is the business of merchants. But if it were not for the dense population and the stockpiling caused the land rent of the people in dense areas to rise rapidly, even if merchants bewitched by the merchants, they would not succeed. Without the tenant farmers to cultivate and cultivate for them, even if the court does not have money, merchants may not be able to go there.

Secondly, the local area has sufficient funds, and I don’t know where to place them. The interest rate is not very heavy, which is not very cost-effective. Repay it in two years. Nearly 100 million yuan was distributed in several routes. More than 50 million yuan was distributed in Lianghe and Shaanxi alone. With sufficient funds, some wealthy households have the intention to participate.

Finally, the broader view of farming is the broader view. For example, under the leadership of Zheng Lang, more and more people see its role, and the increase in grain output. This farming model proposed by Zheng Lang can be realized.

With the past, there is the present. With the present, there is a greater future...

This model also lays a good cornerstone for the future.

There are also two edicts, as for the former few people in the original area, if they make an agreement with their boss and encourage them to stay, if they cannot make an agreement, the court will send officials to resettle them. They will recognize the ownership of the forest after the lease period expires. When the new landlord arrives, they must pay attention to the value of the forest with the original landlord.

The original landlord could not get all its true value. Except for wood, like mulberry and hemp fruit trees, once cut down, they could only make firewood. However, if the later landlords were ruthless and the original landlords were angrily cut down, the later landlords would suffer greater losses. How to solve it? Let them negotiate on their own to further consolidate the surplus value that expires in fifty years. At the same time, they would also give them the right to transfer. If they encounter financial difficulties, these estates can be used for mortgage or transfer in order to obtain scarce funds.

After listening to Zheng Lang's explanation, everyone looked at each other.

It will definitely disturb the public more or less, but it seems that there is no big problem, so they all make a decision.

In fact, they are struggling every year, and every time they make people humble, gradually making everyone develop a habit. Perhaps if Zheng Lang didn't make trouble that year, they might not be at ease.

The new year is coming.

The fourth year of Xining.

The military affairs in the first month begin again,

Xixia built a city in Beidishui Cliff in Funing County, formerly Suizhou. The cliff was steep and steep, and it was more than ten feet high and steep. It was next to Wuding River. The people of Xixia called it Luowu City. To control the key conflicts of Hengshan. Zhe Jishi and Zhong Yan heard the story of the plot: "The land of Hengshan is all about to return to the Han Dynasty. If the army goes out of the boundary to take Luowu, the land in Henan will be stagnant."

Zhe Jishi was too optimistic. The land of Henan he mentioned was not a guide to Huizhou, but to the entire Nanhetao, including the six states of Yinsuiyuxia, Shilong. If you get Luowu City, you will not be able to get these six states. Then Xixia is equivalent to destroying one-third of the country.

The Qiangs of Hengshan may not all want to submit to the Song Dynasty. They are definitely better than in history. And another miserable figure, under the induced by Zheng Lang, Fan Chunyou did not go home to mourn and mourn, and played the role of light and heat. He had a hard life in the past two years, but he had great achievements in pacifying in Suizhou and was praised as a small fan by the Qiang people in Suizhou. He showed more tribes to the Song Dynasty. The release of prisoners of war also made the tribes further lean towards the Song Dynasty. However, it was impossible for all tribes to be biased towards the Song Dynasty, especially Yinxia, ​​which was the nest of the Li family, so there was a possibility that they would turn against each other.

In fact, it is all a concealment word, that is, let's fight.

You have to find an excuse for yourself.

When Zhong Yan heard the agreement, he also said that Han Jiang would send troops to Luowucheng from Suizhou and build six villages to Tonglin Mansion. Not only did it cover hundreds of miles of land, but it also had the power of auxiliary vehicles on Fuyan Road and Hedong, which was enough to control the Xia Kingdom.

Han Jiang was a radical, radical in reform and radical in military affairs, and agreed immediately.

He ordered Zhong Yan to lead his troops to 20,000 out of Wuding River, and all the generals were controlled.

The vanguard army arrived at Tiezhigou, and the two armies met and fierce battle started again. Another reinforcement came from Xixia. Wu Liang came to support Wu Liang with tens of thousands of cavalry, but he was very sad. Zhang Shiju and Zhe Kexing were ordered by Zhong Yan to snipe him. Because time was tight, Zhe Kexing led his army to arrive one after another and lie on the mountain pass. When Wu Liang's army was half of the pass, Zhe Kexing ambushed out. Wu Liang was caught off guard and his army was defeated. Wu Liang himself was also shot dead. At this time, Zhong Yan's vanguard army gradually showed signs of defeat and outnumbered. The army began to collapse. Liu Yan, the Ningzhou regiment commander, personally led the sharp cavalry to fight, and the flying arrows blocked his body. Xixia heard about the defeat of Wu Liang's army, so he did not pursue it again. The vanguard Song army did not end up being wiped out.

The first battle ends and the second battle begins.

Duromawei and his four generals reorganized the army and buried in the northern Madogawa, northern Luowu city, preparing to attack Zhong Yan's main force. After Zhong Yan got it, he personally led 3,000 light cavalry to go there. Suddenly sneaked to Madogawa and launched an attack on the Xixia people. Duromawei's three armies were defeated, and a general was beheaded by the Song army. The main force of the Song army slowly followed up and stationed troops to establish a reward and pacification. The Xia people feared that Zhong Yan was fierce and did not dare to fight with him. Zhong Yan gave three women's clothes to the three generals, and were embarrassed to be cowardly. A strong wind happened to amazement, and the wind and sand were shaking, and the wind and roared, and the wind and roared. I don't know which coward in the Xixia shouted: "The Han army is here."

As soon as he shouted in front, all the Xixia armies behind him fled in panic.

Zhong Yan successfully obtained the Luowu City. The Xixia City had not yet been repaired, so it continued to repair it and was named Siwu Village.

Another great victory was made, and the news reached the capital, and many people felt proud.

Zheng Lang also heard the good news, but smiled. It was not as good as expected, but not as bad as expected. Zheng Lang did not interfere in the whole process. The problem of Luowu City was not serious. He would only stop the serious Yongle City in the southeast of Yinzhou in northern Suizhou. Whether it was not discussed or not, it was also a matter of the Western Prefecture, and there was no big connection with the Eastern Prefecture. He did not make any noise. He brought last year's financial statements to the palace to meet Zhao Xu.

Almost all the monarchs and ministers care about this.

Zhao Xu opened the file and was overjoyed after reading it. Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, this report cannot be made public this year."
Chapter completed!
