When Zhao Kun, Su Liya and others attended the seminar at the Daqin Academy.

Xianyang, Tingwei's Mansion.

Xiao He and Cao Shen are also having a conversation that is crucial to the Qin Dynasty.

Cao Shen was able to enter the court thanks to Fusu's previous recommendation.

Xiao He also lacked manpower, so he naturally used him.

Since the rapid development of the Qin Dynasty's economy, the commercial laws formulated in the past have to be changed. Now, the two have received orders from Ying Zheng and stayed behind closed doors every day and devoted themselves to studying related matters.

However, today's Daqin changes three times a day.

New tricks for business companies are emerging one after another.

It can be said that the two of them were completely fighting against the merchants of the entire Qin Dynasty.

If the new business law is formulated, it is easy for businessmen to find loopholes, which is a joke.

Even Xiao He felt that this task was the most trembling thing he had done in his life.

Now, the process of formulating commercial laws has just passed.

But they had to stop.

Because with the gradual establishment of the Daqin market economy framework, the tax rates that were previously common became an urgent problem to be solved.

The requirement to restructure the tax rate was actually proposed by the merchants.

After hearing that Ying Zheng learned the news, he was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.

Although the people of the Qin Dynasty were hardworking, the heavy labor and taxes in the past were like shackles put on their heads.

People have always racked their brains to evade taxes and flee. Have you ever heard of anyone taking the initiative to ask for taxes?

The reason why businessmen do this is actually because they have their own unscrupulous difficulties.

They are scared!

After the first five-year plan was proposed, the way of doing business has fundamentally changed.

These businessmen never thought that money was so easy to make!

As long as you get some technical licenses from the Academy of Sciences, open a factory at will.

Then, the money flows into your home like a flow of water.

Seeing that the more and more coins were spent at home, these people couldn't help but feel distressed!

Sometimes, too much money may not be a good thing.

If they still follow the tax method in the past, the money they received was really hot.

To earn ten copper coins, you only need to pay the tax on one copper coins.

Moreover, when you go to the Western Regions to do business, you will not receive any tariffs.

The money earned is a bit scary!

All the merchants were afraid that after Ying Zheng reacted, they would not give them good fruits to eat.

So, the merchants gathered and advised Ying Zheng in the name of the chamber of commerce, asking for a re-establishment of commercial tax.

They said beautifully, too.

"The prince once said that supporting business is to hide wealth from the people. However, if the people do not add taxes and use the national football team, it is the only prosperous era that has been passed through the ages. Our business has no wealth, so we can only use taxes to make money from the country and make it very poor.

force."

After seeing it, Ying Zheng smiled.

Compared with Zhao Kun and others, Ying Zheng's concept at this time has not completely changed.

In his opinion, although merchants make a few money, how much income can increase the treasury by raising taxes?

Ying Zheng issued an imperial edict to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, asking Xiao He to work on this matter.

According to Ying Zheng's idea, this kind of thing is easy to deal with.

People think that ten taxes and two merchants think it’s too little, so you can add one achievement.

Ten taxes and three, even Ying Zheng's opinion is heavy taxes.

Therefore, the suggestions he made in the edict were also irritating to put it bluntly.

If you add it in detail, please let Xiao He decide.

But after Xiao He saw this edict, he was in trouble.

Ying Zheng didn't understand the current situation of the Qin Dynasty's business. He was busy revising the commercial law at home, so how could he not know?

So he knew very well that tax rates could not be used in today's Daqin.

Nowadays, Daqin’s business is no longer the simple purchase and sale of goods in the past.

The variety of goods is extremely abundant, which naturally brings a problem.

That is the necessity of product classification.

For example, among Daqin's daily necessities, a large proportion of ceramic products accounted for.

Things like silk and liquor may not be very expensive, but they are very expensive and have terrible profits.

Such commodities must be subject to heavy taxes to set thresholds.

But some ordinary commodities look inconspicuous, but the profit margin is also very large. According to the original tax rate, it may not work.

So after a day and night of sleepless summary, Xiao He and Cao Shen finally classified the commercial tax.

However, when they handed over the memorial, Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied.

Ying Zheng had no objection to anything else.

But Ying Zheng directly rejected the ordinary tax rate they specially divided.

Ten taxes and three?

Even in the eyes of Emperor Ying Zheng, this ordinary tax rate is too excessive...

Ying Zheng had also learned about business affairs with Lu Buwei before.

In doing business, generally speaking, the cost is 40% , the loss is 30% , and the profit is 30% , which is no longer a high profit.

The luxury tax in the past was too high, so it was a heavy tax.

But the average tax rate is set to 100 and 3000 taxes, which will make it easier for ordinary businessmen to live?

Ying Zheng felt old.

He had already planned to give way, but Zhao Kun pushed for the three and four obstacles and never responded.

Because of Fusu's affairs, Ying Zheng had to go to court again to deal with political affairs.

However, after being the boss for a while, he obviously didn't care much about the government.

There is a saying that parents love their children, but they have far-reaching plans for them.

Ying Zheng looked down on the world and didn't care about other people's gaze.

But it was Zhao Kun's turn, Ying Zheng had to consider him for the long term.

Ten taxes and three, such heavy taxes are unheard of!

If you approve this tax rate yourself.

At that time, Zhao Kun will still be punished!

Ying Zheng would never do such a thing.

Xiao He has trouble saying.

This tax rate is the conclusion he came to fully examine the previous luxury tax.

He himself thought it was quite reasonable, but Ying Zheng did not allow it and could not implement it at all.

Today, the Chamber of Commerce sent representatives to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about the new tax rate with Xiao He.

When they learned that Ying Zheng did not agree with the tax rate for luxury goods, the representative of the chamber of commerce who specialized in silk business immediately cried.

Xiao He thought these guys were ungrateful and thought the tax rate was too high.

Unexpectedly, they thought that the tax rates set by Daqin were too low.

"Since the opening of the business, the profit has reached ten thousand yuan in less than ten months. However, the tax payment is only a thousand yuan. The Shang family is not talented, and he also knows that the country is strong and the people are rich. Is the prime minister setting such a tax rate? Could it be that he thinks that the Shang family is

Is money not worthy of being used by the court?"

When it comes to this point, there is nothing to talk about.

The words said by this chamber of commerce representative named Shang are translated into plain language: Do you look down on me if you charge me this tax?

Xiao He was furious and ordered people to beat this ungrateful idiot out.

But when I turned my head, I didn't know what to do.
