Chapter 607 My site I call the shots
A black-hearted capitalist is definitely not able to do it...
Of course, saints cannot do it either.
Therefore, banks still have to have, industry monopoly rights, and even targeted industry heavy taxes are also essential.
Yang Xin's first step in economic reform was to enhance Shoucheng Money House as a bank, and he was authorized to have the only right to mint coins and issue money.
It’s still necessary to send this to you. Anyway, if he doesn’t send it, it’s cheaper for those money banks.
So far, bank notes have become the main means in large-scale transactions, and even have begun to be miniaturized. Therefore, if the bank does not secretly print a few more, this is completely overestimated by the integrity of the financial capitalist. Then Yang Xin is simply monopolized by his bank, and the bank not protected. Whether it can be cashed depends only on the commercial reputation of the bank. In other words, the bank notes cannot be cashed out by the bank, and the holder can only admit that he is unlucky.
But the bank is different.
Banks are not government-oriented, but are still considered as the private industry of the Yang family. In other words, there is no need to worry about this problem if the Yang family does not fall.
So it is not convenient for everyone to carry silver during bulk transactions, so just use banknotes!
But silver coins are still the main currency.
Moreover, there is no small amount of banknotes in the plan. One hundred yuan is starting, that is, one hundred taels of silver. Free exchange is certain, and the rest is the problem of counterfeit banknotes. This can only be solved by technology, new papermaking technology, new inks, etc.
Actually, this has never been a problem.
Not to mention the Yang family, even ordinary money houses have their own anti-counterfeiting methods.
And very superb.
After all, everyone understands counterfeit money.
It was already very common during the Southern Song Dynasty.
In short, when using banks to complete financial control, there is certainly not a money bank, but a money bank cannot issue money or mint coins. In the end, if you want to operate normally, you can only exchange silver for the bank.
Copper coins are the same.
The financial system has controlled it, and grain is also controlled through the surplus grain purchase and franchise system, and the salt industry is left.
Although the modern salt industry franchise has been criticized by countless people, it is actually necessary.
Yang Xin did not change the salt merchant system, but controlled the salt farm. Because the salt farmers were also militias, all the salt produced by Lianghuai Salt Field could only be sold to him by the salt company. Then he sold it to the salt merchant, so that the interests of the salt merchants can be guaranteed. By controlling the grain supply, the salt purchase price always ensures that the salt farmers' food and clothing will be guaranteed. The rest is that the more they are sunny, the more they earn.
As for sales...
Just let go of the salt guide.
Whoever has the ability will sell it, but it will be changed to a supply-side salt tax.
Pay taxes when selling salt, and then there is no need to pay any taxes during transportation. Local local turmoil, that is, the commercial tax that the seller should pay has nothing to do with the transporter, and local local turmoil is no longer designated local turmoil sales...
Anyone can sell it.
Even if the salt merchant transports it to the place, he can set up a shop to sell it himself.
The salt industry system of the Ming Dynasty was actually very scientific when Zhu Yuanzhang. In a sense, salt households were workers in state-owned salt farms. There was a standard for how much salt was paid for each household. They exchanged salt for grain, and they liked to do whatever they like after they were paid. Those who were willing to dry more were called surplus salt. Similarly, surplus salt was also a purchase of salt farm grain. Salt merchants transported grain to Jiubian to exchange salt to the salt farm to support salt. They were responsible for transporting it to designated areas. There was a restriction on where to transport it. After the transportation was shipped, the sales were not under their control. They were transported there, and then the local officials designated the price, and those small rural officials such as the village head were responsible for the number of people per household.
The latter exchanges food for it.
You can also get treasure money.
This is called dictation of salt.
Zhu Yuanzhang used a patriarch-style spirit to take care of everything and formulated a salt industry system that would prevent salt households and people who eat salt from suffering from it.
But the interests of officials in charge of all this are not considered...
How can officials get rid of them if they are playing like this?
Then they worked hard from generation to generation and finally destroyed him completely.
The current system is that salt merchants go to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the bank to get the salt intake, take the salt intake to the salt farm and find the salt intake to purchase it by themselves, and transport it to the designated place, local merchants controlled by local officials and gentry, and negotiate with the price, and then sell it to the local merchants.
No one cares about how the local merchants sell it.
In this way, all officials make money and all merchants make money, but no one cares about salt farmers and salt-eating people. However, they also have their own way out. This way out is the old business of King Zhennan, which is also the reason for the flood of private salt in the Ming Dynasty. Now Yang Xin will definitely not rebuild Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. The latter has the ability to maintain this system because he dares to peel corrupt officials and kill countless people in a prison. King Zhennan, who has no courage to dominate the flood of private salt, simply legalize the private salt on the basis of the flood of private salt!
Anyone can sell it.
All salt induced things have been cancelled.
If you want to sell salt, go to the salt farm wholesale. Which village thinks that the salt sold by the salt merchant is too expensive. At worst, you can go out to the salt farm wholesale in your village.
Anyway, the tax is added to the salt price.
Not to mention that it is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even merchants from other places can come to wholesale. In short, Yang Xin only controls the salt farm. The salt owners are not allowed to sell salt by themselves. All the salt is sold to the salt farm. The rest is nothing to do with them. Just take the money to buy grain at the grain store.
This is Yang Xin's salt industry reform.
It doesn't affect too much interest. Anyway, the Ministry of Revenue could not control him anymore. The salt merchants in Yangzhou were indeed affected, but they had complete transportation and sales channels and their advantages were obvious. This was not a bad thing for them. At least they didn't have to deal with corrupt officials from all over the world. The rest was to make money with their own real skills, and those with ability could still make a fortune. After all, the salt merchants in the past were just serving the corrupt officials of the court, or they were either the official and businessmen themselves.
But this system completely leaves corrupt officials. Just as salt merchants do not have these parasitic vampires, it doesn’t matter if the wholesale price is higher than the retail price is lower than the retail price is not...
From Dagukou to Beijing, there is enough profit margin in the era when it can be increased by five times. Some mountainous areas from Huaiyan to Huguang are even dozens of times!
But what about private salt?
One pound of official salt in these places can often reach the price of forty kilograms of private salt.
The latter is the real price.
The former is just the price of various parasites.
Salt merchants really don't care about this kind of reform.
But another reform can be said to be full of complaints.
Tobacco specialty.
Moreover, it is prohibited tobacco from being grown among the people.
By the way, there were already many smokers at this time, including the Yang family's cigarettes, and even developed rapidly and shockingly. Even the fertile fields in many places were planted with cigarettes, which was also the reason why Chongzhen banned smoking, although his ban on smoking was useless.
Yang Xin's system is that non-designated areas smokers not only destroy tobacco fields, but also collect three times the normal grain output based on the planted area.
Exiled people who exceed the set standards.
Or mining.
You can smoke, but you can only buy it at a tobacco company. Of course, it is subject to heavy taxes. In addition to the designated areas, the tobacco company's tobacco company mainly comes from outside, but in fact it mainly comes from Yunnan, Guizhou and eastern Sichuan. This system was quickly spread to the vixen, Long Xiaozu. After all, the toasts have grown widely in recent years. King Zhennan was bewitched by this woman. In order to ensure that the tobacco of the toasts can be sold, this tobacco monopoly system was designed.
Of course, whatever they say!
Anyway, the King of Zhennan forced the law to buy his high-priced cigarettes.
The other thing is wine.
This also caused a lot of complaints.
And there were unanimous complaints, including the confidants of King Zhennan. After all, King Zhennan first forcibly stipulated that they must take the lead in not drinking rice wine. However, the thieves understood this very well, after all, they could not stand the rice wine.
besides……
In short, the series of reforms of King Zhennan were forcibly implemented in support and complaints. Even if they did not support them, they could only accept them. Even the gentry accepted the distribution of land. What are these reforms? Besides, they are not a big deal. If you don’t drink rice wine, you can drink sorghum wine and sweet potato wine. For ordinary people, it is actually no big deal. If you don’t allow yourself to grow dry tobacco and smoke, then go and buy them. Although the price is more expensive, you can just smoke less.
It’s not that you will die if you don’t smoke.
However, for other things like mining, industry, and commerce, the King of Zhennan didn't care about it at all. He just needed to pay taxes. He would just mining the mines and other mining industries that were banned by the imperial court before, and the restricted industries were completely lifted.
Arms continue to be built.
Not to mention muskets, they don’t care about even building cannons.
Songjiang arsenals singing and dancing, and the silver mines divided by gentry in Zhejiang were also harvested casually, but after paying the tax, the silver mines were minted to the bank, and of course the bank also had to charge some manual fees. But the minted silver coins would still be given to them. It would be better if they were willing to store them in the bank, including the mining of copper mines. If anyone likes to pick them, don’t forget to give a part of the King of Zhennan.
As for other coal, steel, textiles, etc., industrial and mining industries that do not involve coin rights, there is no limit at all.
This is especially true for business.
In short, the King of Zhennan only pays taxes. Although he stipulates a lot of messy industrial and commercial taxes, as long as he pays taxes, he can do whatever he wants outside the limits of his limits. Moreover, there will be no intentional difficulties made by corrupt officials. All systems are clear. As long as the system is abide by, someone will sue them if they make things difficult.
Including going to the King of Zhennan to sue.
The King of Zhennan imitated Dengwen Guyuan and set up a separate agency in his official office. He sued anyone who had any grievances. Moreover, this agency was under the jurisdiction of Mrs. Long, which means that the identity of the complainant was kept confidential and the investigation of the matter was also kept confidential. Only after the facts were found out, would the arrest be carried out. Therefore, those officials were worried because it was difficult for them to know whether they had been sued or whether Mrs. Long's spies were secretly investigating themselves.
But there is one industry that is restricted.
Publishing.
Especially the newspaper industry.
This must be supervised and reviewed by a specialized agency. Daily newspapers can be run in various places, but every newspaper must be reviewed, including published books. Banned books like Datong Country cannot be spread any longer.
Of course, this is useless.
After all, it was sold all over the world at this time.
