Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 456 Li Jiancheng's Upper Table
The courtiers didn't seem surprised to hear that Liu Mu planned to set up two small markets again.

Looking at the reactions of most of the courtiers, Liu Mu even felt that they had even discussed it.

Sure enough, Yao Silian took a step forward: "Saint, I think there is a need to establish a rule. I don't know if Prince Consort Liu has any suggestions?"

Liumu can't wait to fully open up, even knock down the walls of the square, and then cancel the curfew.But these are all impossible, even if you want to do it, you have to do it step by step, and the ideas of these old-fashioned old officials in Datang cannot be ignored.

So Liu Mu said: "Father, my son thinks that the best way is to issue a license. Only places that have been inspected by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment are eligible to receive this license. In terms of Wutongfang, Wutongfang after it is fully completed It will be divided into two parts, one half is a market, and the other half is a goods display and leisure area."

Li Yuan waved his hand lightly, signaling Liu Mu to wait a moment, and then a little eunuch sat in the corner with a table and prepared to start recording.

After repeating what he said just now, Liu Mu spoke again: "In the exhibition area and leisure area, there is still the old rule that no money is paid. If you want to buy anything, let the maid or the attendant in the leisure area go to the market to buy it. The auction treasures are exceptions, and the settlement will be placed in the bank."

"Dongshi also follows this regulation, and my son wants to change the commercial tax." Liu Mu said.

Li Yuan simply flipped through it and then ordered it to be handed over to the Ministry of Accounting. Headed by the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, four or five officials of the Ministry of Accounting looked at the form together.

Someone read it out, and Liumu's table was written in a non-standard format, but it was simple and easy to understand.

To sum it up, just a few.

In the past in the Tang Dynasty, the fields were tied together, but for those who only worked and did not farm, then their wages, taxes, and servitude could all be converted into coins.

Among them, there is a minimum guarantee. The most basic living expenses in Chang'an are calculated on a per capita basis. According to the investigation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is about [-] cash.

The standard set by Liumu here is that the monthly income is lower than the usual amount of tax exemption, and the incremental tax rate is adopted after the monthly income exceeds the usual amount.This tax is equal to the full tax of Ding, Fu, and service.

"It's always too much, six hundred." Cui Junsu, as Zuo Cheng of the household department, immediately expressed his position on tax exemption.

Then came the second major change.

Datang's current business tax ranges from [-]% to [-]%.That doesn't sound like much, only [-] to [-]%.However, the tax is collected once after each hand. For example, the timber merchant collects one share when he changes hands, and the woodworking workshop collects another share when he goes to the store.And shopkeepers will also have quantity merchants and small merchants, and there will be more money.

In addition to the checkpoint fees during transportation, the running water and sanitation of the store, etc., a comb will almost receive [-]% of the tax.

Therefore, businessmen prefer to do it themselves from the beginning to the end, from raw materials to final sales in a store, so that the tax can be reduced to about [-]%.

"An increase of ten taxes and one tax is to encourage small workshops. But Prince Consort Liu, aren't you afraid of tax evasion?"

"Small workshops don't dare to escape, big workshops can't. A license is issued by the court, and the owner of this license is obliged to check the tax. If a business evades taxes, it is not allowed to enter Wutongfang, nor is it allowed to enter the Jinghe wharf. , his goods are not allowed to leave the customs. I don’t know who can afford to escape, unless it is..."

Liu Mu didn't go on, he would be offended if he said this again.

Those who evade taxes are the firms under the protection of the powerful.

"Let's have a discussion, and get the draft out before next month. I think we can try it, crack down on cheap merchants to drive up prices, whether ten taxes and one tax is too little. Also discuss it."

Li Yuan also realized that if the cost of a comb is only ten pennies, then only one penny of steel tax will be paid if the comb is sold for eleven pennies, but if it is sold for twenty cash, it will be taxed for one penny.

Li Yuan believed that if ten taxes and one tax were too little, merchants could make money, but if the profits were too large, the taxes would be heavy.

Cui Junsu suddenly said at this time: "Sage, according to this calculation, the tax of the porcelain chief is probably a few thousand guan."

"This is not for you to discuss it, but to be more considerate. Like porcelain that burns thousands of pieces to produce one, naturally there must be a corresponding rule."

"Yes, I understand."

Liu Mu is very clear that it is difficult to reform taxes, but at least take a step forward and first promote and support small workshops and the like.

As for whether nobles come and go in Wutongfang, there is still a need for rules. This is something that needs to be discussed by the Ministry of Rites, and they will come up with a plan within a month.

When the casual discussion began in the court, Cui Junsu said to Yao Silian: "Mr. Yao, if you write a letter to ban it, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home by yourself."

"Of course." Yao Silian did not dare to completely prohibit it, but only added some restrictions on etiquette.

If it is completely prohibited, his wife will not give him a good face.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng, who had been resting his eyes with his eyes closed, suddenly stepped forward: "Father, my son and minister have good looks."

The entire Taiji Hall fell silent in an instant, and the courtiers quickly returned to their respective positions.

Li Yuan returned to the throne and motioned for the table.

Li Jiancheng said: "Since February, there have been more than 30 letters from more than a dozen prefectures. The Duke of Yue, Feng An, has the heart of disobedience. If he hasn't written a letter for a long time, he will not listen to the training in the future."

Liu Mu suddenly turned to look at Li Jiancheng.

Liu Mu's action made Li Shimin immediately alert, it was probably a conspiracy.Otherwise, Liu Mu would not react so violently. Li Shimin has always believed that Liu Mu is a very sensitive person.

How could it not be a conspiracy.Liu Mu knew that in real history, after the Xuanwumen incident, countless people wrote letters. At that time, Li Shimin had already sent troops to fight, but it was Wei Zheng who tried his best to dissuade him, convinced that Feng An would not rebel, and listed countless analyze.

Right now, Wei Zheng is still in the Prince's Mansion, but he shows such an expression, it's not a conspiracy or something.

Li Jiancheng cited a lot of evidence, as well as official documents from various state capitals.

The thing Li Yuan disliked the most was who rebelled. After listening to Li Jiancheng's analysis, Li Yuan's expression changed.

At this time, Feng Deyi stood up: "Saint, I think you should send troops to either subdue or attack."

"What you said is exactly what I want."

"Saint, I believe that the protector of the country, Yi Guogong, will lead the Zuowei of Shence to go south. The Lingnan road is far away, and supplies are not easy. The states that Yi Guogong needs to go south to his troops can complete the supplies, and the combat power is amazing, or it will be destroyed without a fight. You can surrender." Feng Deyi spoke again, recommending Qin Qiong to go out.

"No!" Liu Mu hurried out.Before Liu Mu could speak, Li Shimin also came out and said: "I thought that I should send troops to show the country's prestige, but I hope that the commander-in-chief will be selected for further discussion."

Why did Li Shimin send troops?Willow was confused.

Li Yuan would be a little hot-headed now. He had just experienced the joyful scene of the first prosperous age, and now he heard someone rebelling. He was quite restrained without getting angry on the spot.

"My son thinks that both kindness and prestige should be given. I implore my father for permission, and my son is willing to go south." Liu Mu didn't understand what Li Shimin wanted to do, but he wanted to do what he should do.
