Here in the Industrial Zone in the South District of Beijing, spacious concrete roads extend in all directions, and factories are neatly arranged. The cement roads are full of four-wheeled carriages coming and going, including a few inconspicuous four-wheeled carriages. Parked quietly on the side of the road.
"Liu Jin, when you carried out the tax restructuring and established the tax office, how did you think of ways to collect taxes?"
In the four-wheeled carriage, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, and Liu Jin sat together, looking through the curtains at the large and busy factory in front of them.
The gold signboard of Jingcheng Lijian Cement Factory shone in the sun, and at the same time, you could see a family emblem printed on the side, but Liu Jin didn't recognize it at first glance. It should be the property of a not-so-famous family.
But the scale of this cement factory is still very large. It is a large cement factory. The entrance of the factory is very large. There is an endless stream of four-wheeled carriages transporting finished products and raw materials in and out. It seems that there will never be a stop.
"How do you know how much tax you have to levy on a cement factory like this one?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the cement factory selling in front of him and asked in detail.
This time 75z worg.*com Zhang Si. In the study room just now, Zhong Zhong said that the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue exceeded 100 million in a single month, which was a good thing.
But Emperor Hongzhi, who had always loved the people as his own children and was deeply influenced by traditional Confucian education, was also worried that the tax would be too heavy, that the tax collected would be too much, and that the tax yamen below would be levying unbridled taxes.
So he also took a few people with him, put on casual clothes and quietly left the palace for a private visit in private. They walked around and took a look, and it was best to listen to what the common people had to say with their own eyes.
"Your Majesty, the tax office has its own way of collecting taxes. First of all, all factories, workshops, firms, etc. need to issue invoices when making sales or providing labor services. This invoice is made in triplicate, that is It is an important basis for them to pay taxes when filing tax returns with the tax bureau.¡±
¡°The invoice is made in three copies, one for the seller, one for the house purchaser, and one for the tax. The buyer and the seller each keep one copy. The tax copy is handed over to the tax office when filing the tax return.¡±
¡°The tax office will calculate the tax to be paid based on the tax invoice provided.¡±
Liu Jin replied with a smile, in fact, the method is very simple, that is, copy the tax system of later generations and make appropriate improvements.
¡°Then if neither the buyer nor the seller issues an invoice, wouldn¡¯t it be possible to evade taxes?¡±
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he thought about it and asked.
"We have also thought about this. When we collect taxes at the tax yamen, we do not collect taxes from those companies that are losing money, so there is a deduction. Buyers can present their own invoices to the tax yamen. Make deductions while doing so.¡±
"So the buyer will naturally hope that the other party will issue an invoice to him, because this can reduce his tax amount."
"Of course, some companies belong to the same owner, so we have relevant systems. For example, if tax evasion is discovered, the tax office will issue huge fines and severely punish them. At the same time, the factories, workshops, and The commercial banks will notify the company."
¡°This will make it have a bad reputation, make it harder to get a loan from a bank, and make it harder to do business.¡±
¡°In addition, the tax bureau also has a large number of tax agents. In fact, most of the time these tax agents are not collecting taxes. They rely on factories, workshops, commercial banks, etc. to declare and pay taxes on their own.¡±
"The duty of the tax yamen agents is to investigate and punish tax evaders. They will use various methods to investigate suspected factories, workshops, firms, etc., such as lurking in factories, keeping a close eye on sales, and calculating the raw materials entering the factory and the number of goods leaving the factory. Sales and so on.¡±
"As long as they detect tax evasion, they will immediately impose relevant penalties. There is only one thing the tax police can do, and that is to check taxes."
"So even if you want to evade taxes Tax evasion is also more difficult. One is that the buyer will use the invoice to deduct the tax, and the other is that the tax agent is elusive. No one knows whether he has lurked in your factory and is calculating whether you have evaded taxes."
¡°Coupled with the huge fines and terrible penalties, paying taxes honestly is much more cost-effective in comparison.¡±
Liu Jin explained this system to Emperor Hongzhi in detail.
Although tax evasion has always been a problem, and there are policies and countermeasures from the government, Liu Jin copied the relatively complete tax system of later generations.There are fewer places to exploit loopholes, but the key is to impose severe penalties. A sky-high fine will directly drive you bankrupt.
Businessmen are all profit-seeking, so we need to make them carefully compare the gains and losses of tax evasion and paying taxes honestly. Once they have a comparison, they will naturally pay taxes honestly.
What's more, the tax system of later generations and the United States was adopted, and tax yamen and tax agents were specially established to do this.
"That's it~"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he roughly understood.
Then he looked at the factory, got up and got out of the car and said, "Let's go to the factory and have a look~"
After saying that, he also took the lead and walked towards the Jingcheng Lijian Cement Factory.
Emperor Hongzhi pretended that he was the owner of a large commercial bank and that he came to the cement factory to discuss the purchase of cement in large quantities.
When the people at the cement factory saw the clothes and demeanor of the people, they were immediately convinced. They quickly welcomed the group in, served them tea and water, and then notified the owner of the factory.
"I, Li Mao, have missed my welcome from afar, but I hope you will forgive me~"
Li Mao, the owner of Lijian Cement Factory, walked in with a smile on his face. When he saw Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Liu Jin and others, he quickly smiled and said hello.
Zhida org.com Zhixiao. After saying hello, Emperor Hongzhi introduced himself. After sitting down separately for host and guest, he carefully looked at the group of people in front of him again.
The leader, whose surname is Zhu, is naturally Emperor Hongzhi. Several old men look like stewards. As for Liu Jin, he is more like the son-in-law of the family. He goes out to see the world, accompanied by Xiao Jing, a servant, and some servants pretending to be servants.

This is considered a symbol of the configuration of a large family.
And if you look closely at these people, they all have extraordinary demeanor, more like officials than businessmen.
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Zhu is doing?"
After thinking about it, Li Mao also smiled and asked about the details of Emperor Hongzhi.
¡°My family does a lot of business, including several textile factories, and there are also some plantations here in Nanyang. We mainly do business in repairing bridges, paving roads, building houses, and ports.¡±
"You also know the current situation. Bridges and roads are being built and houses are being built everywhere in Ming Dynasty. The business is pretty good, but the demand for cement is too great. I have visited many cement factories everywhere, but the demand is still not enough. .¡±
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment, opened his mouth and made it up.
"That's it~"
"Mr. Zhu's family is all engaged in big business."
When Li Mao heard this, he suddenly realized.
This is a textile factory and a plantation in Nanyang. It also specializes in building bridges, paving roads, and building houses. This shows that the other party has strength, and there must be someone in the government. Otherwise, this business of building bridges and paving roads would not be easy. .
"Small business, small business, just make a living."
Emperor Hongzhi replied with a smile.
"I wonder how much cement you want?"
强牺 lingchenks.com 读牺。 Li Mao pondered for a while and thought Liao Xiang asked.
As Emperor Hongzhi said, cement is in short supply now and is very easy to sell. No matter how much cement is produced, it is not enough to sell. The scale of his cement factory is expanding again and again, but the cement produced is still not enough to sell.
¡°He also depends on the person when selling cement. Not everyone sells to it. Those with good relationships have more selling points. Sometimes they can also be sold to some powerful people. If they make friends, it will be easier to do business in the future.
"I may want more, how much can you give me every month?"
Emperor Hongzhi is naturally very grand.
¡°Right now, I can only give you three thousand bags of cement per month, but when my cement factory in Shandong goes into operation next month, I can give you ten thousand bags of cement per month.¡±
Li Mao thought for a while and said, "You are also an expert, and you also know that cement is in short supply now, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy cement. The amount is a bit small, but by the end of the year, I will sell cement in Henan and Cangzhou." If the factory is put into production, I can give you more than 50,000 bags per month.¡±
This time org.com Zhang Si. "Ouch~"
"My husband's cement business is doing well. There are several branches here."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became interested and asked with a smile.
"Small business, small business~"
"It's insignificant compared to those large cement factories. Now the world is good and the court is doing a lot of infrastructure construction, so we are doing some business along with it."
Li Mao said very modestly.
"Is it okay to issue an invoice?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked again.
"Of course there is no problem. We northerners are most particular about credibility when doing business. If you don't tell us, we will issue an invoice to you."
Li Mao agreed immediately.
"Quickly, when I was doing business in the south, they didn't(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)The clay factory is insignificant in comparison. Nowadays, the world is good and the imperial court is carrying out infrastructure construction, so we are also doing some business along with it. "
Li Mao said very modestly.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked again.
