Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466 Dispute
Yecheng.

The key point of the dispute between Xun Yu and Chen Qun gradually fell into place.

What Xun Yu thought was that the Wei court and the Chu State shared Tuyin Port, that is, on the Wei side, only the merchant ships of the imperial court could dock at Tuyin Port, and the various noble families... could be like the great saltmen of Chu State. Like merchants, leasing and purchasing are eligible for transactions in Tuyin Port.

And Tuyin City is the place where the court of Wei State and the high-ranking families in the north reaped small families together...

This was an unspecified national policy of Wei State, and Xun Yu also supported it, but generally speaking, Xun Yu was more inclined to make more profits for the court.

Because there are enough "profits", we have enough energy to appease the small families who have been harvested...

For this reason, Xun Yu suggested that a special business tax should be designated for Tuyin City!
On the issue of commercial taxation, Wei State has never been able to push forward forcefully like Chu State, or it can be said that Cao Cao was unwilling to pay the price of forcefully pushing it.

In the end, the result of the mutual compromise between the two parties was that different regions and different categories began to collect commercial taxes with different tax rates.

This time, Chen Qun and Xun Yu also had a dispute over whether Tuyin City was subject to commercial tax, how high the commercial tax was to be applied, as well as the certification standards for caravans chartered to enter Tuyin Port, and whether private ships had the right to dock. .

Naturally, Chen Qun hopes to further loosen the ties between the wealthy family members. Sharing the world with the royal family is their ultimate pursuit. Regarding the interests of Tuyin Port, he also hopes to get involved and work with the royal family to squeeze out those small households. Not squeezed out by the royal family...

Of course, for Cao Cao, the northern gentry still have awe.

Even if they strive for benefits, they will not use coercion or refusal to cooperate. Instead, they will strive to prove to Cao Cao that their involvement will bring greater benefits!

In the end, the argument between the two was interrupted by Yang Xiu, who always ignored the atmosphere.

Yang Xiu was supposedly from a noble family, but... the Yang family of Hongnong had publicly severed ties with him. The incident of "Mrs. A marriage was agreed upon.

"Mr.

When Xun Yu and Chen Qun heard this, they both looked at Yang Xiu angrily.

Given their "ranks", is it Yang Xiu's turn to persuade them to make peace?Especially what the two people represent behind the scenes is the division of interests between the imperial court and the nobles, a sensitive topic.

However... Yang Xiu now has no taboos. Anyway, Yang is not in Wei State, and he is Cao Cao's future son-in-law.

"In my opinion, why don't you two take a step back? The cost of purchasing Chu's ships is not a small amount, so why not just leave it to the aristocratic family who is interested in Wei to subscribe?" Yang Xiu said with a smile.

"After buying back the Chu State's ships..." Chen Qun somewhat guessed what Yang Xiu meant.

"Naturally, it will be entrusted to the imperial court for safekeeping and maintenance first! But after purchasing, you can order ships of the same size from the Craftsman Camp, or a fleet... At that time, Xun Lingjun can also take a step back and allow these ships to be used from now on. Enter Tuyin Port." Yang Xiu said very wittily.

In short... the Wei court was completely free to prostitute, and all the Chu ships that needed to be purchased in a group were subscribed by the major noble families.

After purchasing and compulsorily donating it to the State of Wei, what you buy is equivalent to the "qualification to enter Hong Kong" with the same load!
Even if you want to fulfill this "qualification to enter the port" later, you will need to specially manufacture ships. The shipbuilding industry controlled by the northern gentry is itself relatively weak. In the Wei State, the court's skilled craftsmen built shipyards and had a dominant position in the shipbuilding industry. In other words... when building ships, the court would make an extra fortune.

Of course, Chu's ship prices are not simply calculated based on "displacement". From the perspective of "displacement" alone, the price-performance ratio of all kinds of sea-going ships varies greatly...

But what does that matter?This in itself can also be the theme of competition between major noble families. The powerful noble families, or the noble families that Wei State supports more, will naturally have the opportunity to subscribe for those cost-effective ships!
Yang Xiu thought his method was very clever.

It not only conforms to the current general development direction of Wei State, but also strives for as many benefits as possible.

If the Wei imperial court alone had to collect more than 2 million, it would really cause bleeding, but if it were directly passed on to the gentry, the imperial court could breathe a sigh of relief...

As for where did the nobles crowd from?
On the one hand, these noble families usually have the habit of hoarding copper coins, gold and silver. Even if the Han five baht coins are useless, the price of copper is still relatively strong in Chu State, and gold and silver can directly benchmark Chu coins. On the other hand... ...There is a saying that "the wool comes from the sheep", and there is another saying that "the big fish eats the small fish".

Driven by the hidden national policy of the Wei State, although the northern gentry were still affected by the inherent nature of the "aristocratic family" and did not dare to make themselves angry easily, they were indeed much more eager for quick success than before!
But it has nothing to do with the court!

Anyway, no matter who is really angry, the court will also be happy to confiscate the house and make a fortune.

As for the commercial tax in Tuyin City, after Cao Cao opened his mouth, they quickly reached a consensus - there would be no additional commercial tax, and the highest existing commercial tax would be implemented in accordance with the standards of the county.

It is also different from the great development of commodity economy in later generations. In special foreign trade zones in later generations, there are usually tax subsidies or even tax exemptions to encourage consumption.

However, when materials were not abundant at this time, the more developed the county and the more frequent transactions, the higher the commercial tax, which was more like "rent".

This can also be seen that the nobles of the Wei State still have the temperament of "scheming for a lifetime" in their bones - it may take a long time to earn back the expense of subscribing to the Chu State's ships.

But since the authority is permanently passed down to the family, there will always be a time when the capital is earned back with interest...

As for the imperial court, or rather Cao Cao, it is not just a "momentary plan"!
The reason why Cao Cao accepted Yang Xiu's method was that he wanted to "plan for a while" first. As long as he planned "for a while", the Wei Dynasty could dominate the world, and in this "life" he could slowly clarify Yuyu.

This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Cao untied the "shackles" of the nobles and even allowed them to grow fangs to a certain extent.

Cao Cao felt that he would not overturn.

It's just that... the frequent headaches made Cao Cao a little worried.

I won’t roll over, but what if it’s my son?
Thinking of Cao Pi, who has been in Jinling for several years and doesn't know how he is growing up now...

I also think of Cao Zhi, who had a swinger character and was always close to Yang Xiu...

Cao Cao was worried in every possible way.

He couldn't tell whether he was worried about his children and grandchildren, or whether he was worried about conquering the world!

But Cao Cao had no reason to regret it. This was the only way he could think of to compete with Chu.

As long as Cao Cao is given enough time, he is confident that after unifying the world, the fangs of the nobles will be pulled out and the shackles will be put back again, and then he will hand over to his children and grandchildren a world that only needs civilized governance to securely sit on the throne!
