Valley Emperor

In the current wave of the Tang Dynasty vigorously supporting the development of shipping, river transportation, industry and commerce, and maritime trade, cities along the coast and rivers have gained more opportunities than cities in other regions.

​​

And if it happens to be a coastal city and a city along the river at the same time, then it will inevitably get more development opportunities!

​​

Just like Guangzhou, the coastal area and the estuary of the Pearl River have a strong commercial atmosphere. After the Tang Dynasty officially opened trade and Guangzhou was positioned as a trading port, the development of Guangzhou will be rapid, not to mention the Guangzhou business district. Now, a large number of wasteland on the outskirts of Guangzhou have become various factories.

​​

Even the Foshan area, which is close to Guangzhou City, has been influenced by the great era and is developing rapidly with the steel industry as the center!

​​

The Shanghai County of Songjiang Prefecture is very similar to Guangzhou in terms of its geographical advantages. It is also located on the coast, and it is backed by the Yangtze River. More importantly, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense. Get in touch.

​​

Its transportation advantages are too obvious. Relying on sea and river transportation, a large amount of industrial raw materials can be obtained here, and the industrial products produced can be radiated to the entire Yangtze River Basin through the Yangtze River, and can be radiated to the coasts of North and South China through sea transportation. It was exported to Fusang and Southeast Asia.

​​

Not to mention the use of the developed river transport network in the Jiangnan area, its products can be easily transported to the entire Jiangnan for sale!

​​

The transportation advantage brought by this geographical location is far more obvious than the advantage of resources. If you want to talk about the origin of resources, there are more to go. For example, in Dangtu County, Taiping Fu, a super large-scale iron ore has already been discovered. , the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant was also established locally, but the local area still can only rely on iron ore to develop steel, machinery and other related industries, but other industries and light industries are currently almost zero in Dangtu, and The business atmosphere is also normal.

​​

However, in Shanghai, a city that honestly has nothing but land, now there are many factories.

​​

When Li Xuan personally inspected the Shanghai suburban industrial zone, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Nima, this is only the 16th century, and Shanghai has only developed for more than a year. A messy factory.

​​

Although these factories now rely heavily on power, they are generally built directly on the riverside and use water power, while those with little demand for power simply use animals or people.

​​

To put it simply, except for a few heavy industry factories in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, most of the others are factories that have little demand for power, mainly labor-intensive enterprises.

​​

In essence, these private factories and family workshops are actually no different, but the management and production modes are very different, which leads to the improvement of production efficiency and the reduction of costs, so that these products can be produced. Commodities are more competitive.

​​

After visiting the industrial zone in Shanghai, Li Xuan expressed his satisfaction. He proposed the industrial zone model a few years ago, and the core idea is 'resource centralization'.

​​

Because the financial resources of the local yamen are limited, and the financial resources of the enterprises are also limited. If the local yamen is engaged in the east and west, then the resources of the local yamen cannot be concentrated, and the same is true for enterprises. If the local yamen does not provide infrastructure support , if various conveniences are given, it will cause a heavy burden on the operation of the enterprise.

​​

In the Shanghai Industrial Zone, as long as investors have money, the factory can be rented directly, and managers, technicians and ordinary employees can be recruited directly to the local talent market. There are many people in the talent market who want to get a stable job. people.

​​

All kinds of procedures can be handled in one-stop at the yamen in the industrial zone, and there are even people who specialize in handling various businesses.

​​

In other words, as long as you have the money, you can open a factory in the Shanghai Industrial Zone in minutes. Of course, whether you do it well in the future is another story.

​​

Even the business environment is much better than other places. Next door is the business district, where there are many businessmen, some from all over China, some from Southeast Asian countries, and even many Europeans, who sell here. , Procurement of various goods.

​​

When you need raw materials, you don't have to bother to find them there, just go to the commercial area to place an order.

​​

Once the product is produced, you don't have to bother to buy it in various places, you can just sell it directly to those merchants in the business district.

​​

What's more interesting is that these industrial zones often have relatively large tax incentives!

​​

You have to know that in the Tang Dynasty, taxation is not a light thing, and tax evasion is a serious crime. If the amount is huge, it is no less serious than treason. How can I say that if the amount of tax evasion is huge, for For a regime like the Datang Dynasty, which had huge expenses and was very dependent on taxation, it was actually no different from conspiracy.

​​

Tax evasion and evasion are unacceptable, but in order to support industry, the Datang Dynasty often had preferential tax policies!

​​

These preferential policies are still at the central level, but at the local level, in order to develop the economy, local yamen often sacrifice short-term local fiscal revenue to attract investment, and will release part of the local tax as a subsidy.

​​

For example, if the tax should be paid 100 taels, the central level will reduce or exempt a certain amount in order to support the industry. This meeting is valid nationwide, and in a certain place, especially in an industrial zone, the local government will also subsidize it. A certain amount of tax can be reduced or exempted, because these taxes are shared between the central and local governments. If the local finance department has this determination, they can completely subsidize all the local taxes without earning a dime, and the tax department does not care.

​​

Anyway, the tax is only from the national tax, and the local government is left to the local yamen to dispose of it. Whether you are willing to do infrastructure, whether you are willing to do education, whether you are willing to do culture and art, the tax department doesn’t care.

​​

This subsidy and tax exemption model has been implemented in many regions such as Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Lianzhou, etc. Today, Shanghai is naturally unavoidable. In order to attract more capital investment to build factories, the Shanghai Industrial Zone supports some specific industries, even They are all 100% subsidized in land tax. The amount of land tax allocated to Shanghai Yamen will be subsidized, without any discount.

​​

Besides, don't think that the Shanghai Yamen is a loss!

​​

In fact, they didn't lose money, and they made a lot of money!

​​

Although the factory is subsidized, the factory will promote the development of more industries, provide employment and provide tax revenue, but some ordinary industries are not exempt from tax.

​​

The overall process is basically like this: local yamen subsidy, attract capitalists to build factories, factories make money, recruit more workers, in this process, factories need raw materials and various services, so there are many upstream and downstream enterprises earning The local yamen collects taxes from these related enterprises.

​​

At the same time, with the development of industry, there are more workers and higher incomes. They have to consume. For example, after get off work, when colleagues go out for dinner, restaurants have to pay taxes!

​​

After earning money to buy two catties of meat, the butcher has to pay taxes!

​​

After earning money to buy two pieces of cloth to make clothes for the ladies at home, the cloth dealer has to pay taxes!

​​

Basically, as long as they consume, the tax department will always have a way to collect the tax!

​​

According to the current comprehensive tax rate of Datang, the tax department can collect an average of 50 taels of tax for goods of 100 taels, and the comprehensive tax rate reaches 50%.

​​

What, you said the tax is too high? No way, the Datang Tax Department is so arrogant!

​​

Besides, if you don't charge such a high tax, you let me, Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty, drink the northwest wind, and the military expenditure is more than 20 million taels a year!

​​

After leaving Shanghai, Li Xuan also had no plans to go to other places. Instead, he returned to Jinling on a warship. This time, he went north and south, and traveled more than half of China. It's been about half a year, so he should go back to Jinling City.

​​

This is not to say that Li Xuan misses the court dance troupe in the Royal Courtyard, but as an emperor, it is not good to be away from his capital for too long, and it is prone to all kinds of messy accidents.

​​

For example, no one knows if there are any careerists who are trying to rebel in Jinling City. If there is a heartless person who thinks that Li Xuan is not in Jinling City, they can start a palace change or the like, although Li Xuan has Absolute self-confidence to personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but this kind of thing can be avoided if it can be avoided!

​​

Those who deliberately left, showed weakness, pretended to be injured, died, etc., waiting for those with two hearts to come out on their own, UU read www. uukanshu.com and then come back strongly to suppress the rebellion are all fools!

​​

When you let others see the opportunity, don't blame them for having two hearts!

​​

A qualified emperor never has to make people think that others have the opportunity to overthrow him!

​​

Don't even give a chance, even if this chance is fake!

​​

It is best to let others not even have this thought!

​​

After all, you are not gold and silver, everyone loves you, you are just an emperor, those courtiers, those ambitious people are also living people, people are also ambitious, and they will think about themselves, and make yourself stupid for others Don't blame others for being too cruel!

​​

So after Li Xuan finished his trip to Shanghai, he did not go to other places, but returned to Jinling City with the civil and military officials and the guards. Well, this is for the sake of the overall situation, not because he wants to go back to appreciate it earlier. The exquisite dance skills of the Palace Dance Troupe.

​​

But don't mention it, I haven't watched the dance for a few months, I miss it.

​​

Especially a few days ago, Wang Wenhua, who stayed in Jinling City, came with a book, saying that he personally searched for it. After several months, he successfully excavated several good seedlings with high dance talent, waiting for the sage to return to the dynasty. To present a wonderful dance for the sage.

​​

Alas, the courtier Wang Wenhua is also loyal, and the emperor, Li Xuan, can't let the courtier's heart be shattered. After returning to Jinling City, let him send people in and appreciate it! ) Book friends, please pay attention!
