Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Three conditions come out.

Zhu Yujian frowned at first.

This condition cannot be said to be very favorable.

First there is a 15.00% purchase tax, then there is a 20.00% transaction tax.

Can those traders agree to such a high tax?

"Taizu, is this tax too high?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Youjian on the side also secretly smacked his lips...

This tax rate is not ordinary scary.

"high?"

"It's because we set them too low before."

Li Chen rolled his eyes and waved his hands.

The business tax of the Ming Dynasty was simply a paradise for capitalists.

It should have been changed long ago.

“Don’t worry about the tax rate being too high.”

"It's just the conditions they want to purchase."

"What we are going to talk about next is what the royal family can give them."

“The first thing is the purchasing qualifications of snow salt.”

"This snow salt will definitely become a specialty of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"The Royal Council issued an edict that no one is allowed to sell snow salt to surrounding countries privately, except those who have the qualification to sell snow salt."

"Secondly, the royal family will sell the exported snow salt to them at extremely low prices to ensure that they can earn sufficient profits."

"Third, the royal family will issue exclusive procurement tasks to those who hold salt. They can purchase grain from various places in Southeast Asia and return to the Ming Dynasty."

"The Royal Family will make the acquisition at market price."

"Fourth, any merchant whose tax payment reaches 5000 million taels will be awarded the title of [Honorary Merchant] personally nominated by Zhu Youjian."

"External traders can hang a bright yellow flag! Currently, only twelve places are open."

"Moreover, any merchant with this title will have priority in obtaining the right to sell other exclusive specialties in the future."

"For example, all kinds of ironware, tea, silk, porcelain, etc."

"Fifth, tell them again that the royal family will definitely sail to the West to open up new trade routes in the future."

"As long as you pay taxes to a certain level, you can go with the ship!"

"Their interests at sea will be protected by the royal family!"

This is the latest preferential treatment given by Li Chen to those businessmen.

Wait until he finishes talking.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were both dumbfounded.

Damn it, these conditions are really one after another.

Zhu Yujian thought about it in his mind. If he were a merchant, he probably wouldn't be able to resist such temptation!

Exclusive rights!

What Taizu sells is an exclusive franchise!

And it can also solve the food problem.

Use domestic snow salt that is immediately worthless to exchange for food from other families.

Moreover, it also stimulated trade, merchants made money, and the royal family also collected taxes.

It's a multiplicity of things!

"Taizu's method is really powerful..."

"Those businessmen are simply being reckoned with."

Zhu Yujian bowed his hand in admiration.

learned...

Really learned.

"Then Taizu is definitely the best."

Zhu Youjian, who was a little confused after hearing this, also quickly gave a thumbs up.

He was too stupid to figure it out slowly.

But as long as it was about praising Taizu, he would definitely join in the praise.

"Well, the qualifications including snow salt can also be sold for money."

"With a one-year term, the initial qualification is 50 taels per share."

“Purchasers have the right of first refusal to renew.”

"Also tell them that we only support paper currency transactions."

"We will use these commodities to earn money from the surrounding countries!"

Li Chen just smiled and reminded again.

He just wants to use the money and food in the world to tide over the crisis of the Ming Dynasty!

Grandma, I don’t believe it.

God, this dog can really destroy our Ming Dynasty!

"Then Taizu, the salt matter is settled."

"How do I get this iron?"

Zhu Youjian understood the last sentence.

Earn wealth in the world?

good good!

very good!

I like!

There are so many tricks that can be done with just one salt.

He was really curious about what kind of tricks Taizu could play on the iron.

"Iron..."

"Then there will be more fun."

"This is a business that can last for hundreds of years."

"After Xu Guangqi's blast furnace is completed, iron production will inevitably increase dramatically."

"However, the early iron needs to supply the army's equipment iterations and the construction of railways."

"Even if a steam engine can't be built, you can still use a horse-drawn carriage to pull a carriage and slide it on the rails."

"By the way, I almost forgot..."

"Hurry up and inform Xu Guangqi to expand the official road construction plan that is currently being launched."

“The original central road was no longer used as a track but instead was used for horse traffic.”

"A new track will be opened on the left side of the road, with a width of 15 meters, running in both directions."

"We were negligent before and forgot to build a double track."

"But it's nothing, there won't be any waste in the middle."

(The original road construction has been revised. Before, the railway was in the middle of the road, which was indeed inappropriate.)

Expansion?

Zhu Youjian nodded quickly when he heard this.

This is simple.

Anyway, just follow the main road and just widen it a little wider.

"It's Taizu."

"I'll notify you immediately."

"But the cost is a lot higher."

Li Chen saw that Zhu Youjian was a little distressed and looked helpless.

This guy is still a bit picky.

"Okay, there are many ways to make money on the railway, but these are not infrastructure projects."

"Lu Xun once said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

"Now back to the iron, we just talked about increasing production capacity."

"Then we can outsource some military products and let businessmen participate."

"Such as swords, guns, swords and clubs."

"The royal family provides them with cheap raw materials, and then they recruit people to make them and sell them to the royal family."

"The profit will not be too much but not too little either. It will allow them to earn more, but they will be charged a tax of 30.00%."

"And it requires focused supervision. A small city needs to be built outside the city specifically for the mass production of cold weapons."

"And the amount of businessmen participating in production cannot exceed 30.00% of the total. We still have to do most of it ourselves."

"The main reason for letting them participate is to let them learn how to make inferior weapons while helping supply, so that we can sell them export credits when the iron supply becomes available."

"This allows them to sell these low-quality cold weapons to neighboring countries at very high prices."

"Our family does not charge taxes on the money earned from this, but we have to extract [-]% of the profits in the form of technology shares."

"And we will further liberalize restrictions on civilian ironware in the future. Objects such as iron pots can be exported in large quantities in the future."

"Just remember that these things need to be restricted, and the quality must be at least [-]% worse than what we use at home."

"Think about it, these iron tools will be continuously exchanged for horses, cattle, sheep, food, and all kinds of rare treasures from the surrounding areas."

"Business in the Ming Dynasty will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

Li Chen's words made Zhu Youjian a lot more excited!

However, Zhu Youjian was still a little worried.

"Taizu, if you sell iron to those foreign races, will it pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty?"

"After all, this iron salt has always been banned."

contraband?

Li Chen laughed when he heard this.

"Of course we know the importance of salt and iron."

"But boy, you forgot one thing."

"That means times have completely changed!"

"The future is dominated by firearms. What if we give them just cold weapons?"

"Using our soon-to-be-discontinued equipment in exchange for their family's accumulated wealth is a very good deal!"

Li Chen didn't care at all about Zhu Youjian's worries.

This is the end of Ming Dynasty.

Firearms development has taken shape!

Wait until those barbarians spend several years wearing armor.

Ming Dynasty may have developed muskets and artillery to the point where they are intimidated.

What's more, these low-quality ironware will be sold at extremely high prices, which can basically wipe out their entire family fortune!

When the time comes, they don’t have the money in their hands, and they don’t even have the qualifications to develop their anger!
