Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 110 Seven things to open the door
After Zhang Dazhuang's explanation, Qin Shao realized that he really thought too much.

At this age of Ming Zhengde, doing business is really not that easy.

The reason why farmers in the countryside did not go to the cities to sell grain, and the reason why the middlemen took advantage of it was that the cost of going to the cities to sell grain was too high.

It is not so easy to be a itinerant hawker in the next year.

Just like Zhang Dazhuang, because his household registration is in the countryside, if he wants to go to the city to sell things, the cost is very high.

First of all, grain is sold, either pulled by ox carts or run on a shoulder pole.

Cattle are precious and large items in the countryside, and ordinary families cannot afford them.

It's just that Zhang Dazhuang's current conditions are considered good, he can eat enough, and he has a regular way to work. He is living well in the village now, and he still has no ability to buy cattle.

Not to mention spending silver taels to buy cattle, raising cattle also requires a lot of cost.

In addition to eating grass, we need to add some grain, otherwise how would the cattle have the strength to plow the fields.

In addition, to raise a cow, it is good to say that there are many fields like Qin Shao's, and the straw of the crop is the grass, so it is so big and strong that it has to be mowed in leisure time.

In order to raise cattle well, ordinary people basically need more than half of their labor to mow grass and take care of them.

It's like buying a car in the previous life. Luxury cars can't be afforded, but ordinary domestic people with tens of thousands can afford it.

The problem is that after you buy it, you have to pay for gas, maintenance, insurance, car inspection, and parking spaces in the city. If you add up all kinds of miscellaneous things, you can afford it but not support it.

You may think that since it is so expensive, you can simply carry food into the city. Anyway, what poor farmers do not lack is strength and the capital to endure hardship.

Zhang Dazhuang's place is 30 miles away from the city. He carried a weight of one or two hundred catties into the city and set out before dawn.

Not to mention the hard work along the way, because I am not from the city, and I have to pay a fee to enter the city, at least a few pennies to spend.

Do you think you can sell things when you enter the city?

Do not!You also have to pay tax when you sell things as a hawker.

Daming also had commercial taxes.

Not only some storefronts need to pay taxes, but you mobile hawkers also need to pay taxes.

For merchants with fixed stalls and shops, the houses of sale and purchases in various places have to pay monthly to the Metropolitan Tax Propaganda Department or the Taxation Department of the local government.

The government will give you a license to post again, and check it once a month. If you fail to pay in violation of the time limit, and those who conceal and fail to report, you will be punished and fined [-] guan.

What is the concept of 1000 taels? If you open a small shop and haven’t made any money, you will be fined [-] taels of silver. Many of them will go bankrupt and you won’t be able to pay it back.

Nowadays, the Zhengde period is better, and various business taxes have dropped a lot.

During the period of Emperor Xuande, there were more tax bills, not only all kinds of shops had to pay taxes, but also oil houses and mills, including if you had a cow to help people pull goods, you had to pay taxes. Month 50 two.

In addition, if you are in the city and you have a spare yard for those merchants to store goods, that is, to store things for the merchants, you still have to pay taxes, and the payment is not low. There are even hundreds of taels a month.

Now it is said that the warehouse fee is gone, and only the merchant's regular tax is charged.

As for itinerant hawkers like Zhang Dazhuang, if they meet the city administrators, they have to pay a temporary booth transaction fee of only thirty or forty cash.

And you can't sell it in this position, maybe another person will continue to accept it in another position.

According to this, let alone making money, you may lose money or even take food into it.

Qin Shao's head was a little big when he heard that, this ancient man was not stupid.

No wonder many farmers are starving to death, and they still guard their own one-third of an acre of land.

The reason is that if you go out, if you have no way out, you won't even be able to earn a dime.

It's no wonder that those farmers would rather be cheap than sell their grain to grain dealers.

"Master, I think we can open a grain and oil shop."

Han Jinrong said suddenly.

Qin Shao and the others came to the field, and there was no one at home, so she simply came along.

"I went to the market to buy vegetables and grains, and I learned that some grain and oil shops are still profitable. As long as you apply for a post license, you don't need to charge for bringing relevant goods into the city, such as oil, mill, sugar, machine, powder, tea, food, etc. The tax for the store is 10 guan per quarter, and the main cost is mainly the rent of the facade, we have a ready-made facade, and we only need to apply for a certificate."

Han Jinrong said.

Her family used to be a big family in the local area, not to mention hundreds of acres of land, and many shops.

There were only four or five shops in her mother's dowry, and even though she didn't participate in the operation, she still knew a little about them.

"We have a ready-made facade?"

Qin Shao was a little puzzled. Their house was a little closer to the inside. Even though there was a facade in front, it was too remote.

"Isn't there Master Zhu's house?"

Han Jinrong reminded.

It was only then that Qin Shao remembered that the location of the old man Zhu's house was really good. His house was in the row outside.

There are two doors on the facade of the house, one of which is just facing the street.

It should be the door opened by the original landlord, originally for doing business or renting out the front door.

The original landlord was in business, and because of better development, he rented out the house and went to other places to do business.

I wish the old man liked cleanliness before, but the road facing the street has never been opened.

Before he left, he asked Qin Shao to take care of the study room. There were many books in it, and they had to be turned over and cleaned when the season was over.

As for the other rooms, he also said that other members of his family could come and live in them from time to time, otherwise the house would become dilapidated.

Qin Shao thought that everyone in the family had a room to live in, so why would he go to the old man Zhu?

He promised in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that it would be good to help clean up when he has nothing to do, so as to avoid waste.

Now that I think about it, I can try to open a store.

There are not many grain and oil stores in the area where they live, and sometimes they have to queue up to buy them.

As for oil, many people in the countryside also press oil, and besides eating it for themselves, they sell it to second-hand dealers, and the price is much lower than that in the city.

Nowadays, facades are the most important part of doing business in the city. Just like in previous lives, facades are the most expensive item for many merchants.

The appearance problem is solved, and everything is easy to handle!
I only heard that the Nayutie license seems to be more troublesome and needs to be contacted.

He wasn't too worried about that.

When the time comes, he will look for Lu Zhubo, ask about the situation, and take care of what needs to be done.

Some things still cost.

As the saying goes, open the door seven things:
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea.

These seven items are essential to people's daily life.

Qin Shao felt that the grain and oil store could do business.

As for the name, he thought about it before he got the Youtie license, so he called it: Wubiju!
Sell ​​rice, oil, sauce, vinegar, tea five kinds of items,

Qin Shao remembered that there was a century-old store in Beijing in the previous life, which was opened by a pair of Zhao brothers in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of nearly 300 years.

It is for selling daily necessities. I heard that the plaque is inscribed by Yan Song.

Looking for an inscription from Yan Song, the capital, this ancient man is quite good at hype, and with such thick thighs, no wonder he can make a fortune for such a long time!
Should he also find an inscription?

He really doesn't know many big shots now, so I wish the old man is gone!

Lu Lianxian's personality and experience are probably not as good as his own.

He doesn't like reading, so maybe he thought it was a mockery for him to write an inscription!

As for looking for others lower than him, in this Jingshan boundary, if the county magistrate does not look for it, and finds someone one level lower than him, isn't this slapping the county magistrate of Lu?
Forget it if you don't find Prince Xing Zhu Youzhao!
Even if it can't be advertised that he is familiar with Lord Xing, if he rubbed his face like that, King Xing might not like it.

But with his calligraphy, it is also a good product at the bottom of the box if it is passed on to future generations!
And King Xing loves calligraphy, and the calligraphy is first-rate!
right!Just find Prince Xing.
