The Human Emperor

    "grandfather, and Elder Generation, there is one more thing."

    At the side of Ellyly Ye, Wang Chong did not sit down immediately.

    Oh
”

    The old man looked at him with amazement.

    "Young Master Chong, just say what you want to say."

    On the side of "Duke of Hu", he is very fond of Duke of Jiu, the youngest grandson.

    "About Salt and Iron, although the Royal Court is not established, all account book stay out of the issue. But if you want to deal with East, Western Turkic Khaganate, and reduce the ironware they get, there are other ways, and this method, Royal Court will pass quickly. ”

    Wang Chong fixed his mind and opened his mouth.

    Wang Chong's cousin Wang Li was very difficult to look at, and all the limelights were robbed by Wang Chong. Now I listen to him mentioning the ironware that I just talked about, and a black face will drip.

    Is this not humiliating his face?

    "Young Master Chong, what is your approach?"

    A group of people suddenly became curious. The meaning of Sage Emperor is already very clear, and things like trade are absolutely impossible to ban. It is impossible to block the trade connection between Great Tang and the nations in order to ban ironware.

    All account book stay out of the issue is the reason.

    Wang Chong actually said that he had the law of the Royal Court to pass his resolution, which was not cursed by the public.

    "Chong'er, don't talk nonsense! All of you are present, you don't understand things on the Imperial Court, don't talk nonsense! ”

    Wang Chong's Big Uncle is now on the side of the board, reminding.

    For Wang Chong, Wang Gen is very complicated. On the one hand, the better Wang Chong performed, the child heir became a family heir, and the hope of inheriting his father's status and influence was smaller.

    But on the other hand, with so many old fathers, Wang Chong represents more than himself, but the entire Wang Clan. Wang Li has no hope, Wang Fu is not good enough, and Wang Bei is ruined. If even Wang Chong fails, it will make the father's old men and the whole Wang Clan who are now looking at the old ones.

    It is said that "Tiger Father Dog Son" is said.

    The beast will surrender to fierce tiger, but will never surrender to dog son!

    Wang Chong's performance before is already good, even if he is the Big Uncle father, can't say. Wang Gen is now afraid that he will lose more words. He doesn't know anything about the Royal Court, but he publishes "high opinion" here. At that time, he will give up his efforts and the previous efforts will be wasted.

    “Eldest Young Master, Young Master Chong has an idea, this is a good thing. Let him say! ”

    The "Elderly Ma" on the side also opened.

    The presence of people is fine, and Wang Gen can't think of them. Wang Chong was only fifteen years old and he couldn't get in touch with things on the Royal Court. And Wang Yan is another sideman, and even more impossible to teach him.

    Because of this, the old people want to know how many pounds the 15-year-old child has.

    "Chong'er, it doesn't matter. You said it, wrong, no one will blame you! ”

    On the grand hall, the Old Master also raised the hand.

    For all children and grandchildren, he is treated equally. How big is the ability to sit on a big position. Today, it is rare for a group of old men, old brothers are there, Wang Chong has opened his head, and then he is not allowed.

    This test will be related to his future achievements, and he can already get much help from his own cadres.

    How much capacity is Wang Chong will be the key!

    YesGrandfather ! ”

    Wang Chong took a ritual and then continued:

    "Actually, it is very simple to suppress the output of ironware. Just raise the price of ironware. ”

    "useless. Ironware involves all aspects of production and life, small aspects of pots, shovel, hoes, big aspects, many weapons, armor, weapons…, raising the price of ironware will increase the burden of the people's life, and will also increase the Royal Court in the military The spending on finances. Moreover, those Aristocratic Family who produce ironware, local giants, small workshops, mines, will be supervised…, etc., all aspects will cause great repercussions and incur great opposition. ”

    "This kind of thing is definitely not feasible!"

    At the end of the hall, a thin, short, white hair old man. Wang Chong recognizes that this is "Elderly Zhao". A group of old men of grandfather, he is the worst of martial arts.

    The reason is simple. He is the Army Provisions Officer.

    When grandfather is out of business, he must be an Army Provisions Officer, responsible for logistics, arranging all aspects, and dealing with the Royal Court.

    Everyone knows that the logistics officer's Quest is the most complicated. But as long as there is "Elderly Zhao" in it, all the trivial things, bits and pieces, and miscellaneous, all that Ellely Zhao can handle.

    Wang Chong said that he just listened and immediately knew that this was basically not feasible. In order to curb the East and Western Turkic, it is absolutely impossible to make a big mistake because of the small loss.

    In the Chamber of Deputies, everyone thought that Wang Chong would have any high opinions. When I heard this, one by one was also disappointed. After all, I am still young, only fifteen years old. How can I know more about the things on Imperial Court?

    If you increase the price, you can suppress the output of ironware. If things are so simple, they have already been solved, and they are used here to discuss.

    “hē hē, if you simply increase the price, of course not…”

    Wang Chong smiled confidently, his eyes swept through the audience, and he was not discouraged at all:

    "But if you use a tariff?"

    "tariff?"

    Elderly Zhao was amazed and frowned for the first time. The other old people are also novel, look at each other, but also have great interest in Wang Chong.

    They have never heard of this thing.

    "Dare to ask Young Master Chong, what is a tariff? Older husbands have been exposed to finances, taxation, logistics… Great Tang’s tax husband didn’t know, but the old man was dull. What is this tariff? ”

    Elderly Zhao said resolutely, posing a humility to ask for a posture. This is also a strength of him. If you encounter something you don't understand, you will definitely not leave your question. It is also true when you are old.

    This is why Old Master trusts him for the rest of his life and is extremely appreciated!

    Looking at the old people watching themselves, Wang Chong couldn't help laughing. East, Western Turkic Khaganate thing, previous life He has thought about it for a long time, its utility can solve a tariff!

    Although in another place, the tariff has long been known to everyone. But in this world, everyone still doesn't know what tariff is!

    Great Tang Empire has a household tax, a servants tax, a poll tax, a city entrance tax, a commercial tax ……, but there is no "tariff".

    A large number of Caliphate People, Charax Spasinu, Turkic People, Goguryeo People buy things inland and enjoy the same price as Central Plains.

    Therefore, even if the Royal Court severed trade with East and Western Turkic Khaganate, the nomadic Khaganate could still get the ironware input from the Great Tang Empire to the Caliphate and Charax Spasinu.

    For a big country where the country is doing business, this is actually very abnormal. Great Tang has been doing business for a long time, and many people have not realized that there is something like "tariff".

    Without realizing it, then Wang Chong felt that it was necessary to remind them to let them realize the existence of this kind of thing!

    "grandfather, there are also seniors. Salt and Iron is a special industry, especially ironware. In the opinion of the grandson, there is no need to pay taxes when buying and selling in the inland. In this way, everyone can enjoy the preferential price and will not cause confusion. ”

    "But if someone wants to take these ironware, leave Great Tang, leave Divine Continent, enter Charax Spasinu, Caliphate, or the Eastern East, Western Turkic Khaganate, then you can set a checkpoint at the border to tax. This is called tariff! ”

    "Because these ironware are no longer in circulation within Great Tang, the price certainly cannot be the same as inside. In terms of tax rate, it can be doubled, even doubled, tripled…Up to five times the price! ”

    "In this way, it will not affect the internal Salt and Iron price. Second, it can bring an extra, huge finances income to Great Tang. ”

    "Because the ironware is in a big country and political factors, it is often bulky. So if we levy ironware tariff, there will only be two cases. The first one is East Western Turkic Khaganate. Due to the overall strength, regardless of the price, it is still purchased in large quantities. So we can't stop them, but at least we can get a lot of money to subsidize Empire. ”

    "Second, the price is too high. East, Western Turkic Khaganate gave up buying. That's even better! In this way, although we lost a lot of money, we completely suppressed the ironware input to East and Western Turkic Khaganate, which virtually inhibited their combat effectiveness. – Isn't this our purpose? ”

    “And, the trade only ends with the Salt and Iron industry, and other industries are not affected by the influence. So Sage Emperor doesn't have to worry about it, which will hinder trade between East and West. ”

    "Of course, the tariff does not stop at Salt and Iron. Other things can be taxed as long as the tax rate is appropriate. Of course, these are all required to be negotiated by the Royal Court. Instead of a grandson alone, you can solve it casually. ”

    At the end of the day, Wang Chong glanced at his own Big Uncle father.

    In the Chamber of Deputies, everyone has been listening carefully. At the beginning, everyone also disagreed with Wang Chong, but the more they heard the back, the brighter the eyes were. At the end, Wang Chong's "Elderly Zhao" was vetoed. Looking at Wang Chong, the eyes were already amazed.

    If he didn't hear it, he couldn't believe it was spit from the mouth of a 15-year-old child.

    Tariff, tariff ……, their group of old guys only think about the eastern Western Turkic Khaganate in the north, the threat is getting bigger and bigger, the ironware is getting more and more, the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, so the most direct way is to think about banned ironware. Close the trade between East and Western Turkic.

    Or like the "Young Master Li" of Duke of Jiu's grandson, and the East and Western Turkic, they shocked them. But no one ever thought that it was possible to use the "tariff" thing, and it was quiet, and the soldiers were stunned by the East, Western Turkic Khaganate, and their ironware input was banned.

    Moreover, as the Great Tang Empire's political and logistics aspects of Eldly, he is almost certain that His Majesty will definitely agree.

    Even without too much consideration, the people in the Royal Court will quickly pass the resolution. Especially those ministers of finances will definitely push this matter.

    "Ha Ha Ha, Xue Ziying, the minister of finances can find a few ropes and commit suicide. They think about all kinds of names every day, how to collect taxes from the people, and absorb blood and sweat. But the tariff is such a good thing, they actually didn't think of it! Charax Spasinu, Caliphate Do the merchants always say that they have money? With so many taxation objects, they have not thought of it for so many years! ”

    Elderly Zhao patted her thigh and laughed.
