The Human Emperor Chapter 97: tariff ！

"grandfather, and every(one) Elder Generation, there is one more thing."

beside Elderly Ye, Wang Chong did not immediately sit down.

"Oh?"

The old men looked in wonder.

"Young Master Chong, just say what you want to say."

Aside, "Duke of Hu" said, he is very fond of the youngest grandson, Duke of Jiu.

"About Salt and Iron, although Royal Court is not a project, all account book stay out of the issue. But if you want to deal with Dong, Western Turkic Khaganate, reduce their ironware, there are other ways, and this method, Royal Court will definitely pass quickly. "

Wang Chong fixed his mind and said.

Wang Chong's cousin Wang Li was hard to read, all the limelight was snatched by Wang Chong. Now I heard him mentioning the ironware I just mentioned, a black face is dripping.

Isn't this humiliating his face?

"Young Master Chong, what method are you talking about?"

A group of people curious immediately. The meaning of Sage Emperor already understands clearly that things like trade can never be banned. In order to ban ironware, it is impossible to block trade connection between Great Tang and IWC.

All account book stay out of the issue, that's why.

Wang Chong actually said that he had the method Royal Court to pass his resolution, which made everyone curious.

"Chong'er, don't talk nonsense! All the people present are Elderly, you don't understand things on Imperial Court, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Chong's Big Uncle reminded himself at this moment.

For Wang Chong, Wang Gen is very complicated. On the one hand, the better the Wang Chong performed, Lier became the heir to the family, and the less hope of inheriting fatherhood and influence.

But on the other hand, with so many old men and fathers in his father's presence, Wang Chong represents not only himself but the entire Wang Clan. There is no hope for Wang Li already, and Wang Fu is not good enough. Wang Bei is ruined. If Wang Chong fails, it will make the father's old subordinates, as well as those who are ignorant of the current Wang Clan.

They all say "Tiger Father Dog Son", that's what it means.

Hundred Beasts will surrender to fierce tiger, but will never surrender to dog son!

Wang Chong's performance before already is good, even his Big Uncle father can't be said. Wang Gen is now afraid that he will lose his words and do not understand the events on Royal Court. However, he published a "high opinion" here. At that time, his previous achievements were lost, and his previous efforts were wasted.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Master Chong have ideas, this is a good thing. Let him say!"

"Elderly Ma" aside, too.

Everyone present was human, and there was no way they could hide it from Wang Gen. Wang Chong is only fifteen years old, and he has no access to things on Royal Court. Wang Yan is a lieutenant and it is even more impossible to teach him.

Because of this, the elders even want to know how much weight this 15-year-old child has.

"Chong'er, it's okay. You say it, it's wrong, and no one will blame you!"

On grand hall, Old Master also raised its hands.

He treats all children equally. How capable you are, sit in that position. Today a rare group of old men, old brothers are all there, Wang Chong has started, and then he can't help him.

This test will be related to his future achievements. How much help can already get from his group of veterans.

The key to Wang Chong is the key!

"Yes! grandfather!"

Wang Chong bowed and saluted, then continued:

"In fact, if you want to suppress the output of ironware, it is very simple. Just increase the price of ironware."

"It's useless. ironware involves all aspects of production and life, small aspects such as pots, shovels, hoes, large aspects, many weapons, armors, and weapons ... Raising the price of ironware will increase the people's living burden. , Will also increase the military finances expenditure of Royal Court. Moreover, those who produce ironware Aristocratic Family Great Clan, local giants, small workshops, mines, will be supervised ..., etc., will cause a lot of repercussions in all aspects, causing a lot of Against. "

"This kind of thing is absolutely not feasible!"

At the end of the hall, a thin, short, not tall white hair old man. Wang Chong recognizes that this is "Elderly Zhao". A group of old subordinates of grandfather, he is the worst of martial arts.

The reason is simple, he is Army Provisions Officer.

grandfather When he was young, he must be a Army Provisions Officer, responsible for logistics, arrange all aspects, and deal with Royal Court.

Everyone knows that the Quest of the logistics official is the most complicated. But as long as there is "Elderly Zhao", all the trivial things, piecemeal and miscellaneous, Elderly Zhao can handle everything in an orderly way.

Wang Chong said the method, he just heard it, and immediately knew that it was basically not feasible. In order to curb the East and Western Turkic, it is absolutely not possible to make a big mistake because of small losses.

In the hall, everyone thought that Wang Chong would have any opinions. When I heard this, I was disappointed. After all, it's still young, only fifteen years old. How can you know more about things on Imperial Court?

If you increase the price, you can suppress the output of ironware. If it were that simple, they would have solved it long ago. Where is it used to discuss here?

"hē hē, if you simply increase the price, of course ..."

Wang Chong smiled confidently and glanced across the audience without any discouragement:

"But what if you use tariff?"

"tariff?"

Elderly Zhao Surprised, frowned for the first time. The other old men are also novel, looking at each other, and are also looking forward to Wang Chong with great interest.

They have never heard of this thing.

"Dare to ask Young Master Chong, what is tariff? The old man has been in contact with finances, taxation, logistics for half his life ... I do n’t know the tax type of Great Tang, but forgive me, what is this tariff?"

Elderly Zhao said resolutely, puts forward a stance of asking for help with an open mind. This is also one of his strengths. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will definitely hesitate to ask, even when he is old.

This is why Old Master has trusted and appreciated him for half his life!

Looking at the old people looking at themselves, Wang Chong couldn't help laughing. Dong, Western Turkic Khaganate, previous life, he thought about it for a long time, and it can be solved with a tariff!

Although in another place, tariff has long been known. But in this world, everyone does not know what tariff is!

Great Tang Empire has household tax, servants tax, poll tax, city entrance tax, commercial tax ... but there is no "tariff".

A large number of Caliphate People, Charax Spasinu people, Turkic People, Goguryeo People go to the inland to buy things, and actually enjoy the same price as Central Plains people.

So, even if Royal Court severed trade with the East and Western Turkic Khaganate, the Khaganate of these nomads can still get ironware input from Great Tang Empire continuously through Caliphate and Charax Spasinu.

For a large country doing business, this is actually very abnormal. Great Tang has been doing business internally for a long time, and many people have not realized that there is such a thing as "tariff".

Never realize it, then Wang Chong feels that it is necessary for them to remind them and make them aware of this kind of existence!

"grandfather and every(one) predecessors. Salt and Iron is a special industry, especially ironware. In the opinion of grandchildren, there is no need to pay taxes when buying and selling inland. In this way, everyone can enjoy preferential prices and also No confusion. "

"But if someone wants to take these ironware, leave Great Tang, leave Divine Continent, enter Charax Spasinu, Caliphate, or the east, Western Turkic Khaganate in the north, then you can set up a checkpoint at the border to tax it. This is called tariff! "

"Because these ironware already are no longer circulated inside Great Tang, the price is certainly not the same as the inside. In the tax rate, you can charge double, even double, triple ... to five times the price!"

"In this way, influence will not be charged to the internal Salt and Iron price. Second, it will also bring an additional, huge finances revenue to Great Tang."

"Because the ironware belt is in a large country and political factors, it is often in large quantities. So if we collect ironware tariff, there will only be two cases. The first is the need of the East Western Turkic Khaganate for its overall strength. No matter the price, they still buy in large quantities. Although we can't stop them, we can at least get a lot of money to subsidize Empire. "

"Second, the price is too high. East, Western Turkic Khaganate abandoned the purchase. That's even better! In this way, although we lost a lot of money, we completely suppressed the ironware input to East and Western Turkic Khaganate, which is intangible They suppressed their fighting power.-Isn't this our purpose? "

"In addition, tariff is only limited to Salt and Iron industry, other industries will not be affected by influence. Therefore, Sage Emperor does not need to worry that it will hinder the trade between East and West."

"Of course, tariff is not limited to Salt and Iron. Other things can be taxed as well, as long as the tax rate is appropriate. Of course, these need to be negotiated by Royal Court. Instead of grandchildren talking here casually, Can be resolved. "

At the end, Wang Chong glanced at his own Big Uncle father.

In the hall, everyone listened carefully. At the beginning, everyone still disagreed with Wang Chong, but the more they heard, the brighter the eyes. In the end, they originally rejected the Wang Chong's "Elderly Zhao" and looked at Wang Chong, their eyes were already surprised.

If he hadn't heard it in person, he couldn't believe that it had come out of the mouth of a 15-year-old child.

tariff, tariff ..., their group of old guys only think of the east Western Turkic Khaganate in the north, the threat is getting bigger, ironware is getting more and more, and the national strength is getting stronger, so the most direct way is to think of banning ironware , Closed trade with Eastern and Western Turkic.

Or, like Duke of Jiu's grandson "Young Master Li", he fought against Dong and Western Turkic and shocked them fiercely. However, no one ever thought that they could use something like "tariff". Without any sensation, they would kill Dong and Western Turkic Khaganate without blood, and ban their ironware input.

Moreover, as an Elderly in Great Tang Empire administration and logistics, he is almost certain that His Majesty will definitely agree there.

Without much consideration, the people in Royal Court will quickly pass this resolution. Especially those finances ministers will definitely push the matter.

"Ha Ha Ha, Mr. Xue Ziyu ’s finances minister can find some ropes and commit suicide in shame. 想 They think about various names every day, how to tax from the people, **** money and sweat. But tariff is so good , They didn't think of it! Didn't the Charax Spasinu, Caliphate merchants always say they were rich? So many taxation objects, so many years, they didn't think of it!

Elderly Zhao patted his thigh and laughed.
