Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When Tian Meng sent people to pick up the books, Li Ke probably calculated an account in his heart. Li Ke probably knew the fiscal revenue of Datang in the ninth year of Zhenguan, which was about 1050 million guan, of which only about 200 million guan were copper coins. Grain, silk, cloth, and cotton are equivalent to about 850 million guan.

Among them, there are about 740 million pieces of silk, 4 feet per piece, and 222 million guan.

Cloth, that is, linen cloth made of various kinds of hemp, is based on end, and one end is five feet long, about 1600 million ends, and the equivalent of 241 million guan, one end is equivalent to about 150 ren for a piece.

The cotton here is not cotton, but silk cotton, a kind of silk, a high-end product, made of pure silkworm silk that looks like cotton, and the unit is 6 taels per tun, the price is 80 ren, and the cotton is about 185 million tun, 15 guan.

The food is about 375 million yuan worth of money, that is to say, Datang's silk cloth accounts for about 50.00% of Datang's fiscal revenue[-].

After the calculation, Li Ke probably had an idea in his mind.

Tian Meng quickly took the book back. About a few minutes later, Li Ke opened the teacher's anthology and read it carefully. Tian Meng was quietly waiting beside him. Lu Daqiang and the others had already packed their things and continued to work.

About an hour later, Li Ke raised his head, looked at Tian Meng and said, "I have an idea now, please analyze it for me."

"Your Highness, tell me." Tian Meng said immediately.

"You said that the five surnames and seven wangs have great influence, but they can't control everyone in the world, right?" Li Ke said. In the early Tang Dynasty, the tax policy implemented now is completely different from that of later generations.

What is the meaning of the tax system of rent adjustment and mediocrity implemented by Datang?Datang is an equal-field system, that is, all the land in the world is distributed to the people, such as 100 mu per household, of which 20 mu is Yongye land, which can be passed on to future generations forever, and 80 mu of land is leased to the people by the state.

The tax system is that the north pays 2 shi of corn per ding, that is, each male ding receives 3 shi of corn, and the south pays [-] shi of rice per ding.

Tune: It is treated according to the special products of the country. The silkworm area exports silk, silk, etc., a total of two feet, and three taels of cotton.The hemp-producing area loses 3 feet of cloth and 2.5 catties of hemp.

Yong: Adult males have to serve the country for 20 days a year, but they can be paid with silk, three feet a day, so they are called Yong.

Land tax: It is similar to property tax, and the standard of 2 liters per mu of land is paid or deducted.

Moreover, the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were the only periods in China that did not engage in salt and iron monopoly and collected miscellaneous taxes for industry and commerce.Moreover, salt and iron can be produced and sold at will!

And such a system also means that the influence of the five surnames and seven wangs on the people is not as great as that of the later landlords on the people!The influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs on the common people comes more from their influence on official officials, because they monopolize the books, and almost all the officials come from them, which is their greatest influence.

But trying to get rid of this kind of influence...it is very difficult for Li Shimin, but for Li Ke...Looking at the book in his hand, Li Ke's face is a little weird.

No wonder some people in later generations called this thing Dragon Slaying Technique.

"Of course not, the world belongs to the Li family." Tian Meng said quickly.

"Furthermore, the families with the five surnames and Qiwang actually don't have that many people. Their influence is more about connecting with some small families and aristocratic families around them to form a united front, right?" Li Ke asked with a strange expression. .

"Yes." Tian Meng was a little puzzled, not knowing what Li Ke wanted to say.

"Then tell me, if we disband Yuelai Commercial Bank, no, it can't be called dissolution, but according to the restructuring of all counties and counties in the world, take each county as a unit, and restructure it into a separate commercial firm, and then this commercial firm will unite with these small families. , a small family, buy silk directly from their hands!"

"Not counting raw materials, our production manpower and material costs are about 6 ren, while their production manpower and material costs are about 120 ren! Tell me, if we can produce a piece of silk for them for 100 ren, would they be willing to come to us? ?” Li Ke asked strangely.

"It's still a question, of course!" Tian Meng answered without thinking. These people saved manpower and material resources, and they didn't even need to transport them. They bought silk directly from the people, and the result was more than they could make by themselves. , all fools agree!

"Well, then, after a year, can I win over these small families?" Li Ke asked another question.

"Of course!" Tian Meng said immediately, interest!Benefits are the most beneficial means!

"Then what do you think, after I win over all the small aristocratic families, how much influence will those five surnames and seven Wangs have?" Li Ke asked the last question with a smile, "And can I pass through these small families? Does the aristocratic family affect the people who buy silk from them?"

Tian Meng was dumbfounded!

"This... this..." Tian Meng was in a daze. If this is the case...doesn't it mean that His Highness...Tian Meng didn't dare to think about it.

At that time, was the influence of the big family and the big family still so great?

Li Ke looked at Tian Meng's bewildered expression with a refreshed face, this is called the countryside encircling the city!This is called uniting all the forces that can be united. Those big powerful families are the big compradors and big landlords!It must be opposed!Then the rest of these are unitable!

The teachers are awesome.

For the time being, I am the foundry!But my own foundry monopolizes all production technology, and when other powerful families want to keep up, they will find out that they are playing price wars?Li Ke played until they cried!

The production cost of linen is lower than that of silk, and the production cost of Datang Commercial Bank is about 100 yuan. This is because linen is stronger and more durable, with less loss, and it is easier to spin than silk.

"Do you understand now?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Understood! What do you mean, Your Highness?" Tian Meng asked again.

"Except for the Yuelai firm in the Western Regions and the Grasslands, all the Yuelai firms in the silkworm and hemp producing areas within the territory of the Tang Dynasty are named and hidden in units of counties and counties. Let them decide what to call, and then these firms will find the following Contact all the small aristocratic families and tell them that a piece of silk costs 100 Wen, and an end of linen costs 80 Wen, and we will help them produce it!"

"No need for them to transport! Let's do it ourselves! Tell the Longmen Escort Bureau to mobilize the strength. After Lu Daqiang and the others make looms and spinning machines, they will be transported to all silkworm and hemp production areas at the fastest speed. In addition, silk cotton Add 10 Wen per tun, unlimited purchases!" Li Ke said in a deep voice!

"Yes!" Tian Meng became completely excited, how much does it cost!Datang has tens of millions of pieces of silk and hemp every year. If you calculate it this way, you can earn 70 Wen for one horse, which is 70 Guan!

70!Datang's tax revenue is only 1000 million yuan a year!Almost equivalent to one-tenth of Datang!

Although it is impossible for us to monopolize all the production of silk and linen in Datang...

This is Datang. If this is released to future generations, the logistics system of Yuelai Commercial Bank, which spreads all over the country, can be valued at tens of trillions.
