Chapter 65 (2/2)
On the bustling, pedestrian like broad street, two horses slowly pull the carriage forward, the pedestrians on the road look at two horses, a look is the bright horse, one after another to avoid the two sides of the road, from time to time stop to enjoy the two horses, mouth one after another praise, eyes full of envy and love.
”How many shops are there in Dongshi? After a period of time, we will offer it to other Chang'an merchants according to the plan. The shops can no longer satisfy us. We only need to focus on Taiyi city. If we manage well, we will have a perfect system. Whether it is the Eastern market or the western market, the market rules will be in our hands. ” Li Hong looks outside and says to Bai Chun on the opposite side.
”Well, we have entered the next stage for the merchants, whether they are serious about the profits or not.” Bai Chun took a look at a shop that had just passed by. The prince gave him a name: ”good to come again!” It can't be any more vulgar.”There are more foreign businessmen in the western market, and most of the transactions are in the western market. What percentage of the tariff I mentioned for foreign businessmen is appropriate?” Li Hong curled up in the arms of summer solstice beside him, his head comfortably pillowed on the towering summer solstice, and asked lazily at the roof of the car.
The top of the carriage is also a famous painting. Well, it was stolen from his father's study. This famous painting was pasted onto the car by him. In fact, it was the biggest reason why he was beaten.
”According to your percentage, I think five percent is enough, so that at least they will not scare them to go to the Ministry of housing to impeach you.” White pure slants the head to think, beautiful Mou is all cautious.
”you are stupid, you have been reluctant to admit that, who has the final say? The tax rate of 5% is too low. Besides, these items are monopolized by Taiyi city. If you look at the trading volume you give me, the trading volume on the banned list accounts for 10% of the total. Only one month after opening up, the trading volume of prohibited articles has reached 30%, and even more will be in the future. ”
White pure angry white his one eye, silly how, silly you let others do, not as good as me. Now you are the Minister of Hubu, covering the sky with one hand, but you can only cover the sky of Hubu. Foreign businessmen can play from Honglu temple, menxia province and Zhongshu province. You can't afford to go.
”Not convinced? Are you complaining for the foreign businessmen in your heart? Let me tell you a word to remember: benevolence does not lead the army, righteousness can not Jia. Businessmen are born for profit and run for profit. You can only see their hard work all the way, but you never see the contribution of our craftsmen in Taiyi city. If you think about it, from the output of Taiyi city you gave me to the sales volume of countries in the western regions, not including the goods transported to several regions in the south, our production capacity has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make any progress. ”
Li Hong grabbed the tea in Bai Chun's hand, took a sip and handed it to her, and continued: ”today I said we should expand the scale and give Chang'an merchants technical methods. But these need time. In one and a half years, businessmen can achieve the general craft of Taiyi city quickly. What should we do during this period? Do you want to kill the craftsmen in Taiyi city? ”
Bai Chun obviously hasn't got around the game yet. He retorts angrily: ”even if it's a tax increase, can't it solve the problem you said? You can't ban it for a month or a month. ” White pure sexy red lips pout old Gao, the face is full of unconvinced.
”If we open the ban again, we will break the promise. The reputation of the prince's house should be guaranteed. Therefore, you need to increase taxes to slow down the volume of foreign trade. Why not change from 10 Wen to 20 Wen or 30 Wen? If the price of the goods is too low, you should take the initiative to reduce the price of the goods in the market In the name of the need to give craftsmen money to speed up work, the tax revenue increased by 30%
White pure listens to a burst of chilly, the expression is full of to the prince 's fear, is simply a devil, specially sucks the foreign merchant money the devil.
According to his method, the merchants of the western regions would praise him for his merits. I'm afraid that if he wanted to set up a memorial archway for him in Taiyi City, the merchants would be happy to do it for him.
”In this way, there is only money left in the Tang Dynasty. At least you can use money to build palaces in Taiyi city.” Bai Chun snorted, sarcastically.
”You think it's for me. The bank wants to create a large scale. Can't you afford it? Without a lot of money, what do you give the businessman to guarantee and trust? Besides, for foreign businessmen, my aim has always been to keep the money and take the goods away. ” Li Hongli said of course.
Bai Chun nodded thoughtfully. Yes, money is more valuable than a pile of sand. Poor merchants of western regions, just for these worthless sands, one by one sent the real gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty, and happily and cautiously pulled away the carts of sand.
After all, money is limited. There is sand everywhere, which is the river at the foot of Zhongnan mountain. I'm afraid that any shovel of sand can be turned into money and sold to the prince.
”I see. When I return to Taiyi City, I will follow your instructions.”
”Don't worry about going back. I'll go with you in a few days. The chamber of commerce is also imminent.” Li Hong looked at a familiar shop and sighed.
If not bad, this excellent location of the shop, is from the palace was cashed out, now the owner is his aunt.
