Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 80 Armed Caravan
"Then, how about we split it fifty-fifty?"

"No no no!"

Li Gaoyi shook his head again and again.

"Ok?"

Zhao Cheng was taken aback.

"you are not willing?"

"No, no, no...you don't mean that.

My lord misunderstood.

Hi!Small means that it is already a small honor to be able to cooperate with adults.

The little ones dare not share fifty-fifty with adults.

The most important thing about this store is the source of goods.

If the adults can provide the source of goods, anyone can make money. "

Li Gaoyi is self-aware.

It's not that he doesn't like money, but that he knows his weight.

The most popular ones are Zhao Cheng's.

As long as Zhao Cheng is willing to supply, there are too many people who can replace Li Gaoyi.

"Old Li, you are too modest.

The supply of goods is indeed important, but that of the big shopkeeper is equally important.

I said [-]% to [-]%, which means [-]% to [-]%.

However, I have one condition.

For this business, the headquarters must be in the chemical marketing camp, or in a strong place.

Then, all the money earned from doing business has to be taxed.

Whether it is doing business in the chemical marketing camp, the third fort, or doing business in the capital and outside the Great Wall.

All accounts must be truthfully done and taxes paid according to the accounts.

As for the tax rate, there will be a uniform standard in our chemical marketing.

Our business name also pays taxes according to the standard, that's fine. "

This time, after Zhao Cheng finished speaking, Li Gaoyi didn't agree like a nod, but was taken aback for a moment.

"Sir, do you have to pay taxes for doing business?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Cheng nodded.

"How much money do ordinary people earn from farming?

Can't even make ends meet.

That's it, taxes.

Make more money in business?

No tax!
It's taking such good care of them too!

These rich people stink of wine and meat at home.

But the tax they should pay is let the poor bear it for them.

You say, is this reasonable? "

Daming collapsed in the end, and a very important reason was that he died of poverty.

Can't collect tax.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, capitalism had sprouted, and it was not behind the pace of the world.

But no business tax.

It seems that the businessman has benefited from it.

But that's just short-sighted.

Not being able to collect commercial taxes is not beneficial to the country, so the bigger the development, the more cancerous it will be for the country.

Only by paying taxes in accordance with a reasonable ratio can we develop soundly, and it is hello, hello, hello, everyone.

"My lord is right." Li Gaoyi nodded.

He's just a boor after all.

It's just that I haven't heard of paying taxes for doing business, so I feel strange.

He didn't know how shocking it was to the country that Zhao Cheng collected business taxes in his own territory.

Daming's commerce was developed, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, and capitalism was sprouting, which was very advanced in the world.

However, no one dared to mention commercial tax.

Because Ming's business is in the hands of the gentry.

Daming is the Daming of the gentry.

Even Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be arbitrary.

As long as it is a minister who has no soldiers in his hand, Chongzhen can kill whoever he wants.

But he dared not mention business taxes.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to raise business taxes.

Otherwise, it is possible to take a walk in the imperial garden and fall into the pond and drown.

It is absolutely subversive that Zhao Cheng proposes to collect business tax in his [-]-household territory.

Once it is spread, it will be the enemy of the gentry all over the world.

Zhao Cheng knew this, but he didn't care.

"It's time to expand the army again."

Zhao Cheng pondered.

Now, he is actually in charge of two hundred households, the Third Fort and Huaxingying.

The third fort, including Qiangdi, has a total of more than 4000 people.

The chemical marketing camp has a slightly larger population, with a total of more than 7000 people.

Together, there are more than 3 people.

With the productivity of an agricultural society, a population of more than 3 cannot support many professional soldiers.

But Zhao Cheng has an infrastructure system.

As long as the infrastructure in these two places is built, factories are built, and productivity develops...

can quickly enter the industrial society

Considering that the population of more than 3 includes men, women and children, this ratio is already very exaggerated.

"Li Gaoyi, our firm must have our own armed forces.

Our caravan, if it is an armed caravan.

In the future, when we do business, we will not only do business with the Tartars outside the Great Wall, but also the entire Ming Dynasty.

But also to go to Sulu Sultan!Make it to Europa!

We'll also have our own merchant fleet...

In this troubled world, if you want to do business and make money, having your own weapons is the prerequisite.

Now that our company is starting, I will arrange for you an armed force of [-] people.

They are all equipped with muzzle-loading muskets and Budyonny horses.

What you have to do is to boldly explore business routes.

Wherever our caravan goes, our sergeant's artillery will escort you. "

"An armed force of a hundred men?"

Li Gaoyi's heart beat faster.

Hundreds of people, all equipped with muskets and Budyonny horses.

What style is this?
"My lord, I'm afraid that a hundred armed men won't be able to get out of the customs!"

Li Gaoyi has doubts.

"It's out."

Zhao Cheng is very confident.

He is simply too confident in the degree of corruption in Daming Xuanfu Town.

It was this period, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

Iron and grain that were strictly prohibited by the imperial court were continuously transported to Jiannu by Shanxi merchants through the Xuanfu.

This scale is very large.

Moreover, through the efforts of Shanxi merchants, Daming is like a sieve. For Jiannu, there are no secrets at all.

Shanxi Merchants can do so well.

Zhao Cheng believed that he could too.

"Money leads the way. Weird and fun things lead the way.

If you encounter someone who is really not enlightened, beat him to death.

This end, the monk can touch it, can't I touch it? "

Zhao Cheng quoted a famous saying from Master Lu.

Li Gaoyi hadn't heard the last sentence, but he roughly understood what it meant.

"Whether the method is soft or hard, it's up to you to operate it.

You can now go and recruit guys.

Venture capital, neither yours nor mine.We got a loan from Zhaoji Bank.

You don't have to worry about caravan arming, I'll take care of that. "

One word from Zhao Cheng set the tone.

It is impossible for him to monopolize all the benefits of the whole world.

That would be of no benefit to his rule, much less to the country.

He doesn't care about a business name.

As long as the rules can be set for this emerging force, it can attract one firm, ten firms, a hundred firms...

That is good.

Zhao Ji Bank is solely owned by Zhao Cheng.

He went to print 1 million yuan food stamps, signed a loan contract, and loaned the money to Li Gaoyi.

One hundred million sounds like a huge amount.

When Li Gaoyi got the loan contract, his hands were shaking.

At this time, there was no electronic payment, so Zhao Cheng arranged for him a small flag sergeant to be in charge of escort and security.
