Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

After determining who will share the cake, the next step is naturally how to share the cake.

Du Shaoqing put forward his own plan, that is, the total amount of silk sent by Datang from the Western Regions will be fixed every year in the future.

Then everyone will share a certain percentage of the total export volume, and it will be divided according to the proportion of military expenditure donated this time, which is the most fair.

This is still a really novel division, many people thought.

More people are a bit regretful that they have invested less. If they had known such a split, they should not have invested a hundred guan before, but should have invested all their belongings.

But someone saw the problem, "Mr. Du, according to your method of division, it doesn't seem to be fair. Everyone donated a lot, and everyone didn't know it beforehand. How much is a personal luck.

But how do you guarantee the total amount of silk going out from the Western Regions?After all, the world's merchants from the Western Regions are not the only ones present today, and many large chambers of commerce from other state roads did not come. "

Du Shaoqing clapped his hands and applauded this person loudly. This question is very important.

"In the past, we couldn't guarantee it because the road to the west was in Gaochang's hands, but in the future we can guarantee it, because Gaochang was defeated by us, and the Tang Dynasty had to garrison it.

All goods exported from the customs must be inspected by the frontier army before they can go out, and the method of controlling the total export volume of silk is as simple as that. "

"What if someone disagrees?" someone asked.

"Dissatisfied? Who paid for the capture of Gaochang? It was us, which means that we paid for it, and the imperial court worked together to take down the checkpoint on the westbound road. Why don't they accept it? Why didn't they pay for it?"

There was no need for Du Shaoqing to answer, someone soon figured out the key to this, and everything he said made sense.

Some timid businessmen whispered: "In this case, some are too domineering, I am afraid they will offend others."

"Those who are timid and afraid of death can quit automatically. If you don't have the guts at all, what kind of business are you doing?" someone next to you said disdainfully.

How are you

Seeing that the person speaking was a noble businessman, that person could only bear with it and stop talking, as he couldn't afford to offend him.

Du Shaoqing waved his hand to make everyone stop the debate, and explained: "Although everyone present has the right to manage the silk in the Western Regions, it is not necessary to manage it by yourself. You can choose whether to do business voluntarily, or you can choose to sell The share in the hand is transferred to others.

It can even be leased to others. For example, my Du Family Chamber of Commerce has the right to export [-] bolts of silk a year, but we are short of manpower and cannot manage it, so we can hand over [-] of them to others.

Of course, if someone else uses our share, our Du Family Chamber of Commerce will naturally take a cut of the future profits. It is not bad that we can use this share to make a fortune without doing anything.

And this will have an advantage, so that many people who want to do silk business can earn money, and it will also prevent people from saying that our group of people is too domineering. "

As soon as the words were finished, Fan Yang's members of the Lu family shouted: "If Du's Chamber of Commerce intends to transfer a part of the shares, I, the Lu's Chamber of Commerce, will be the first to take over, and I will take over as much as possible!"

Everyone laughed, isn't it? Who wouldn't want it?How much share you occupy means how much money you can earn from merchants in the Western Regions in the future, don't be a fool.

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic and the cooperation was reached quickly, Du Shaoqing took advantage of the heat: "We have settled on the issue of sharing, so let's talk about the business.

The first point is who will sell the goods to the Western Regions, how far they will go, and the pricing issues in various places. "

"That's right, we have agreed, whoever breaks the rules will be kicked out!"

"The second point is Gaochang's problem. If our business wants to grow bigger and stronger, we must have a strong backup support. To put it bluntly, it is the escort on the westbound business road.

Your Majesty intends to garrison [-] troops in Gaochang all the year round to protect the westbound trade roads, so we have to take out the money for the [-] troops. "Du Shaoqing said the ultimate goal.

This one

Many people fell silent, the Tang Dynasty was a government military system, how many permanent troops were there?This account does not seem to be easy to calculate.

"My son-in-law, the merchants in the Western Regions are not only involved in our silk business. Could it be that we are the only ones paying for it?" Someone asked.

Du Shaoqing said decisively: "Of course not, all westbound businessmen have to pay customs duties.

But our silk is huge profits, so elite troops must do their duty from the checkpoint to the guards along the way. If we don't rush to pay the money, in case someone gets some silkworm eggs and looms in the future Wait, if you pass on the craftsmanship, I'm afraid we all have to drink the northwest wind. "

"Dare? Who dares to leak the secret, kill his whole family!" Someone shouted.

"Yes, who dares to be so bold?"

Good guy, almost all of the more than 100 people have a murderous look. It seems that these people are usually smooth businessmen like Mr. Hao, and none of them are merciful at critical moments.

Du Shaoqing joked: "Then the money for raising soldiers?"

"Of course we're the ones out there, and whoever competes with our group of people for the money will be in a hurry!" the shopkeeper of the Li family in Longxi shouted.

"Yes, son-in-law, but how much does it cost? There must be a certain amount." Someone said with concern.

Someone fetched a brochure, Du Shaoqing flipped through it, and then said loudly: "The specific cost of the permanent troops cannot be counted for the time being, but I have a rough estimate below.

This matter was originally discussed with His Majesty, and His Majesty said that maybe one tax per ten is almost the same, otherwise the tax is too harsh, how is it different from Gaochang? "Du Shaoqing introduced.

Everyone nodded, "That's right, Your Majesty is benevolent, ten taxes and one tax are not mentioned, it's not expensive."

Du Shaoqing closed the books and shouted: "But I said no on the spot!"

"Ah? Why is this?

Son-in-law, don't worry about this small amount of money at this time, let's pay ten taxes for one, and let the officers and soldiers eat enough so they can work hard! "Many people persuaded.

Du Shaoqing laughed loudly and said: "That's exactly the case, that's why we can't pay ten taxes for one, and ten taxes for one can the officers and soldiers be full?

I told His Majesty at the time, at least ten taxes and three! "

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang

People in Gaochang levied heavy taxes on us, and everyone was miserable. Now that Datang has taken Gaochang, heavy taxes are no longer imposed, but you take the initiative to pay more?Have a grudge against money?

Du Shaoqing smiled faintly, picked up his tea bowl and took a full sip, probably because he talked too much and was thirsty.

"What I mean is, three out of ten taxes, one-third of which is turned over to the national treasury, counting us and other merchants as serving the court, lest people use the merchant's high profits as an excuse to despise us all the time.

The remaining two-thirds are for raising soldiers. Even if there is more money in it, it is not a loss. The local soldiers have benefited, so how can they not devote themselves to it?

After calculating it below, even if the tax is three out of ten, and if the cost and freight account for two-tenths, we can still make a net profit of half.

Everyone, do you want to do it?

If you don't want to, my Du family chamber of commerce is going to issue an IOU to His Majesty, or buy your share to support and feed this army. Don't be envious and say that our Du family guys are the safest. "

This is a hard trip, and only half of the money is earned, isn't it a bit of a loss?

Someone couldn't help whispering.

Zheng Da of the Zheng family in Xingyang laughed and scolded: "What an idiot, is that half? Don't forget, it's gold that is half the weight of silk!

Even if it's only [-]%, that's how many times everyone's previous business income, will they settle accounts?A fool would not do it.

Concubine Du, let's do what you said, ten taxes and three, our Zheng family is unambiguous, is it enough, if not, ten taxes and four we have no objection! "
