When Bi Goo mentioned Li Yi, the people around suddenly felt a little sad.
Including Song Jing. Although he always wanted to find fault with Li Yi, he still hoped that Li Yi would stay in Zhuangzi.
He was gone, leaving only a box with many letters.
"This year's Spring Lantern Festival will be lively." Li Longji said as he scooped spicy sauce for everyone. Su Yi did not.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much spicy hot pot." Su Yi was envious. He got a lot of hot pot ingredients from Li Family Zhuangzi.
Then, he ate it for several days in order not to waste it.
First, he ate hot pot as a family. It was a pity to throw it away. He ate it at the next meal.
At the next meal, some dishes were less, so he added more dishes.
After adding more dishes, he found that the taste was bland, so he added spicy sauce.
After adding more, he found that there was still some left, so he continued to eat.
He ate like this for several days until he had gastrointestinal problems. Then, he reluctantly threw away the hot pot.
"The firecrackers were sent to the soldiers at the border. Not only at Guo Zhiyun's place, but also at other places."
Bi Goo was distressed. The imperial court spent money to buy it. The cost price and labor cost were included.
The cost of materials was cheap. Li Family Zhuangzi's labor cost was high.
He could not collect taxes yet. Once he collected taxes, the tax money would be included in the price.
It was just like Li Yi's shop issuing VAT invoices. They did not need the invoice to be the price. If they wanted the invoice, they would get extra money.
Those that could be used to offset taxes would naturally take the tax points from the invoice and go back to the account.
Although according to the law, as long as the price was given, the VAT invoice must be included.
In practice, everyone automatically avoided it.
They could not control it at all, especially the small shops.
Fushun, which used to be in Li Yi's place, and the one next to Shenyang, had a new leader.
What were they doing? Check, check all the purchase invoices.
A stall selling toothpicks was fined 5,000 yuan because he could not provide the purchase invoices for the toothpicks.
Then, the entire area next to Shenyang, Gaowan, closed all the shops and stopped business. They were afraid that they would come and check.
For three days in a row, the new leader lost his temper. He had to kneel down and stop investigating. Was that not enough?
Later, the leader was asked to explain his problem at a fixed time and place. He had other problems.
Bi Goo didn't know what had happened to Li Yi at that time. He was very confused about the Li Family Zhuangzi's confusing actions.
"Your Majesty, what if all merchants have to pay extra taxes, and we all learn from the Li Family Zhuangzi?"
Bi Goo was worried that everyone else was smart.
Li Longji was surprised. "Don't the Li Family Zhuangzi pay taxes for their other businesses? They don't produce so many firecrackers, but you insisted on buying them.
Was there a problem with additional orders and additional money? Shouldn't the imperial court adopt special policies to purchase goods that aren't circulated in society? "
Li Longji was no longer the Li Longji of the past. He was knowledgeable.
Don't try to fool me. I have been with Brother Yi all day. I have learned more than you.
"I am talking about other merchants who purchase goods from the imperial court. It is about the cost and taxes." Bi Goo explained.
"How can there be taxes if the goods are purchased at cost price? Oh, I know what you want to say. The merchants are selling their goods and are incurring losses. If they pay taxes, it will not be good for the merchants' continued operations.
There is such a thing, but we can talk about it later. When the tax is implemented in most areas, there will be tax rebates and subsidies.
It is a trial of collecting taxes in a small area. People from other places cannot provide proof of tax. "
Li Longji still understood. Brother Yi had said that if you can figure it out, Brother Yi would have already written it out.
Bi Goo was depressed. He was a professional official, but he was not as professional as His Majesty. He couldn't fool him!
"I understand. I actually … actually miss Xiao Yi." What else could Bi Goo say?
"Don't think about him. Think about the Ministry of Revenue." Li Longji said and lowered his head to eat. What are you thinking about, Xiao Yi? There's nothing wrong with your teeth.
…
"In the future, when we exchange with people overseas, it will be a trade. Tax will be deducted first."
Li Yi, who was looking at the sea through the glass, also thought about the tax.
He didn't go to the deck. The wind was strong and the weather was cold.
At this time, he realized how difficult it was for the country's navy in the past. A speed of more than 30 knots was nearly 60 kilometers per hour.
The navy stood on the deck to enjoy the wind and patrol.
It was fine in summer, but in winter, the temperature was already around 10 degrees Celsius. With the wind blowing, it was very humid.
How uncomfortable would it be to blow for an hour? It was not like standing guard for an hour.
The yacht was even faster. Li Yi didn't want to go out.
As he spoke, Li Yi used dried fruits to pick hazelnuts for Princess Yongmu, Xiao Lan, and his eldest disciple.
The hazelnuts that had been sifted through water basically had kernels in them. Moreover, the kernels were relatively large.
This was the only type of hazelnut on the yacht. It was impossible to bring along kernels and small hazelnuts.
"Master, how do we collect taxes in other places? It's not like we're from the Tang dynasty. "The little girl imagined herself as someone from the island.
She thought that it had nothing to do with her. Why should she pay taxes?
"This involves export and import taxes. The locals outside will not bear the Tang dynasty's taxes.
Because they didn't bring things to the Tang dynasty to sell themselves, they also don't recognize the laws of the big country.
However, the merchants of the Tang dynasty have to pay taxes, export taxes. If you want others to recognize you, you need to follow a procedure. "
Li Yi explained to his eldest disciple. The little girl was young, but she was very smart.
He gave an example. For example, when they arrived at a place, they would exchange silk for something.
After discussing the exchange ratio, they would charge 30% tax. For ten feet of silk, they would give the other party seven feet.
Of course, the other party would not be happy.
At this time, they would give the other party a receipt and say that not only would there be a tax refund, but there would also be subsidies.
The other three feet would be tax-free, and there would be an additional one foot of subsidy.
However, they couldn't give it now. They had to wait for the application to be sent back. When they came back again, they would give an additional four feet of silk.
Even two feet of subsidy would be fine, or three feet.
The premise was that the people in this place could write the application. It didn't matter if they didn't know how to write it. They could help write it, and the other party would put their fingerprints on it.
Therefore, the one-time transaction became a long-term trade. The other party would always look forward to the result of the application.
After the first success, the other party would look forward to the next one.
"During the whole process, force the other party to recognize the laws of the Tang dynasty. This is called subtle influence.
The people outside the Tang dynasty will only compromise for the first time and countless times.
Every time a trade happens, the other party will anxiously wait for the next one to get subsidies.
When the tax refund and subsidies in the trade are accepted, the other party can use other laws of the Tang dynasty to make the other party obey. "
Li Yi didn't hide at all and taught his eldest disciple how to play tricks.
Qing Dai blinked her eyes hard. It was as if she was meeting her master for the first time. Too bad! Master is this kind of person?
"Why are you in a daze? Listen to me, there are false reports and discounts in the price. In consumer psychology, different audiences have different expectations and waiting periods.
This includes the scarcity of goods and the reasonable operation of the appreciation and depreciation of the price of luxury goods. When the price of luxury goods is lowered again and again in order to sell more, the sales volume and profits will both decrease. "
Li Yi continued to impart knowledge. In any case, no one in the entire Tang dynasty could explain this technique so straightforwardly.
For example, the foreign merchants didn't systematically learn about glass and pepper, but they knew how to operate them.
In Li Yi's eyes, they were all elementary and unqualified.
