Age of Empires: Beginning Reincarnation as Prince of Qin

Chapter 44 destroys the old business system and implements the new business system.

"I have decided to abolish the official business system, and merchants from the six countries can trade freely in the Great Qin, just like trading in the Great Tang."

"Moreover, all merchants from the six countries who come to Daqin to trade with us will only be charged city taxes, not customs duties!" Fu Sukai said eloquently.

Today, among the six countries in the world, there are mainly two types of commercial taxes, one is the city tax, and the other is the customs duty.

In ancient times, trade was carried out in the square markets of various places, and when merchants entered the square market for trade, the officials collected taxes based on the turnover, which was the city tax.

The city tax is that the more goods you sell and the more money you make, the more this tax will be.If you enter the market without a transaction, you do not need to pay taxes.

The same is true for fixed shops in various parts of the city. According to the turnover of the shops, a certain amount of city tax is paid.

In addition to city tax, there is another kind of tariff.Tariff means that the government set up checkpoints along the road to collect tariffs from caravans passing by.

This tariff is a fixed amount, no matter whether your goods can be sold or not, the tariff has to be paid as usual.

For businessmen, everyone is still happy to pay the city tax, because paying a lot of city tax means that they will make more money.

However, as far as tariffs are concerned, they are very reluctant to pay them, because paying tariffs may not necessarily make money.

For Daqin's investment promotion this time, tariffs are exempted, and only city taxes are charged. This is undoubtedly an important factor that can greatly attract businessmen to Daqin.

After listening to Fusu's explanation, Aunt Gongsun looked at Fusu's beautiful eyes with a little brilliance involuntarily.

Abolish the "official and business" ancestral system of Daqin, and exempt customs duties, and only collect commercial taxes.Such drastic reforms can only be done by a monarch with great courage.

"If that's the case, then going to Daqin to do business is indeed a good choice!" Aunt Gongsun said softly.

There is no doubt that Daqin is a huge market for merchants.Most importantly, this is a huge blank market.

Under the reform of the Great Qin commercial system, whoever enters the market first, whoever becomes the first to eat crabs, will be able to obtain the greatest benefits.

"Miss Gongsun is not just a businessman."

"Your Gongsun's restaurant, brothel, pawnshop, cloth shop, etc., any industry can take root in my Daqin land."

"Even, we can work together to build a factory!" Fusu urgently said to Aunt Gongsun.

Hearing this, Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she asked, "What kind of cooperation method?"

"My Daqin will produce land and people, and the Gongsun family will produce skilled craftsmen. We can work together to build porcelain factories, tea factories, and even paper factories, etc.!" Fusu said to Aunt Gongsun.

After Fusu finished speaking, Aunt Gongsun couldn't help nodding her head again and again. It had to be said that what Fusu said now was very tempting to merchants like them.

A huge blank market, and it is so policy-oriented, even at present, if everything is as Fusu said.In such a short period of time, Daqin's business environment will even be better than that of Datang.

The reason why Fusu offers such good conditions to merchants is precisely to attract a large number of merchants from the six countries to Daqin in a short period of time.

Although this will cause Daqin to lose a lot of taxes in the early stage, it can make Daqin prosper in an extreme time.

As for ways to make money, Fusu can say that there are many, such as distilled wine, perfume, glass, etc.
As long as Daqin's business environment improves, Fusu will have plenty of ways to collect money from merchants from the six countries.

It is nothing more than the exemption of a tariff, which is nothing compared to these profitable businesses.

You must know that even for the commercially developed Tang Dynasty, the agricultural tax occupies the bulk, and the commercial tax is only a very small part.

Among the commercial taxes, the proportion of tariffs is far lower than that of city taxes.For merchants, the exemption of tariffs may increase profits, but for a country, it is actually nothing.

After chatting with Fusu for a while, Aunt Gongsun and Xiaoniang Gongsun felt that they had already understood everything they needed to know.If this is the case, then it is indeed possible to start the layout in Daqin.

"Since that's the case, my sisters and I won't bother Qin Huang anymore. Let's say goodbye today and talk about it another day!" Aunt Gongsun got up and was about to leave.

Fu Suxin said, let's go now, don't you stay to have a meal together, get up together or something?

However, since he wants to leave, it's not easy for Fusu to force him to stay, right?

"Li You, send Miss Gongsun off for me!" Fusu ordered.

Outside the Jinting post house.

After seeing off the two girls from Gongsun's family, Li You returned to the Jinting Posthouse, waiting quietly for the next one to come to "eat crabs".

As soon as the Gongsun family's carriage left, another very gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the Jinting post house.

A fat man got off the carriage. This fat man must weigh at least three hundred catties, and his whole body trembled like a meat ball when he walked.

If you saw this fat man for the first time, you would definitely think it was a pig made into a sperm, right?

"Dou Sanqian is here!"

"This is my uncle's family, so I have something to do with the royal family!"

The onlookers looked at "Meatball" and discussed in whispers.

Dou Sanqian, no one knows what his real name is, but he claims to have three thousand shops in Chang'an City, so he is called Dou Sanqian.

Dou Sanqian is the family of Uncle Dou Guo. Although he is a side branch of the Dou family, he can barely get some royal relatives.

This person may look like a pig, but he is as shrewd as a monkey. He is very good at making money and never does business at a loss.

Originally, as soon as the two girls of Gongsun's family left, the businessmen who were onlookers just wanted to go in and talk to Emperor Qin.But seeing Dou Sanqian coming, they withdrew again.

This person has some royal relatives, since he is also here, it is not easy to compete with him.

"Thank you all colleagues, since you are so humble, I, Dou Sanqian, will be the first to see Emperor Qin!" Dou Sanqian also saw the movement of his colleagues to let him go first, and quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

"Shopkeeper Dou, although we let you. But, you are not the first!" said a shopkeeper among the crowd.

Hearing this, Dou Sanqian was a little dazed. After receiving Uncle Dou Guo's order, he rushed here without a moment's delay. How could there be someone ahead of him.

"Oh, I don't know everyone, who is in front of Dou?" Dou Sanqian asked with cupped hands.

"Shopkeeper Dou's are two girls from Gongsun's family!" Someone in the crowd replied.

"These two girls from Gongsun's family are not ordinary when it comes to courage. It makes me wait for the man a little ashamed, let's not talk, Dou will go first!"

After Dou Sanqian finished speaking, he bowed his hands to the crowd and strode into the Jinting post house.
