The Human Emperor

"Grandpa, there are still elders, there is actually one more thing."

At the side of Ye Lao, Wang Chong did not sit down immediately.

"Oh?"

The old man looked at him with amazement.

"Chong the young master, just say what you want to say."

On the side of the "Hu Gong" Road, he is very fond of the youngest grandson of Jigong.

"On the matter of salt iron, although the court does not establish a project, all the folds are not left in the middle. But if you want to deal with the East and West Turkistan countries and reduce the irons they have obtained, there are other ways, and this method, the court Will definitely pass quickly."

Wang Chong set the **** and opened the way.

Wang Chong’s cousin Wang was hard to read from his original face, and all the limelights were robbed by Wang Chong. Now, I heard him mention the ironware that he just talked about, and a black face will drip.

Isn't this a face to make him ugly?

"Chong young master, what is your method?"

A group of people suddenly became curious. The meaning of the Holy Emperor is already very clear, and things like trade are absolutely impossible to ban. It is absolutely impossible to block the trade links between Datang and the nations in order to ban iron.

It is for this reason that all the folds are left in the middle.

Wang Chong actually said that he had the law of the court to pass his resolution, which is not to be curious.

"Chonger, don't talk nonsense! The presence is all old, you don't understand things in the hall, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Chong’s uncle was squinting at the side, reminding him.

For Wang Chong, Wang Xin’s heart is very complicated. On the one hand, Wang Chong's performance is better, and he becomes a family heir. The hope of inheriting his father's status and influence is smaller.

But on the other hand, the father is so many old men, Wang Chong is not only his own, but the entire Wang family. Wang Li has no hope, Wang Fu is not good enough, Wang Hao is ruined, if even Wang Chong also fails, it will let the father of the old men, and those who are old and look down on the entire Wang family.

It is said that "the tiger father dog" is said.

The beast will surrender to the tiger, but will never surrender the dog!

Wang Chong's performance before is already good, even if he is the uncle, can not say. Wang Hao is now afraid that he will lose more words and not understand the things on the court, but he will publish "high opinion" here. At that time, the former efforts will be abandoned, and the previous efforts will be wasted.

"Da Gongzi, Chong Shaoye has an idea, this is a good thing. Let him say!"

The "Ma Lao" on the side also opened the door.

The presence of people is fine, and Wang Hao’s thoughts are worthy of them. Wang Chongcai was only fifteen years old, and he was not in contact with the imperial court. And Wang Yan is a side player, and even more impossible to teach him.

Because of this, the old people want to know how many pounds the 15-year-old child has.

"Chonger, it doesn't matter. You say it, you are wrong, no one will blame you!"

In the lobby, the father also raised the hand.

For all children and grandchildren, he is treated equally. How big is the ability to sit on a big position. Today, it is rare for a group of old men, old brothers are there, Wang Chong immediately opened his head, and then he was not allowed.

This test will be related to his future achievements, and he can already get much help from his own cadres.

And how much power Wang Chong has will be the key!

"Yes! Grandpa!"

Wang Chongxi took a ceremony and then continued:

"In fact, it is very simple to suppress the output of the iron. Just increase the price of the iron."

"It's useless. Ironwork involves all aspects of production and life, small aspects of pots, shovel, hoes, big aspects, many weapons, armor, weapons..., raising the price of iron, it will increase the burden of life for the people, too Increasing the military's military expenditures in the military. Moreover, those family members who produce irons, local giants, small workshops, mines, will be supervised... and so on, all of which will cause great repercussions and incur great opposition. ”

"This kind of thing is definitely not feasible!"

At the end of the hall, a thin, short, white-haired old man. Wang Chong recognized that this is "Zhao Lao." Grandfather's group of old men, he is the worst martial arts.

The reason is very simple. He is a military food officer.

When Grandpa is young, he must be a military food officer, responsible for logistics, arrange all aspects, and the court, and deal with the place.

Everyone knows that the mission of the logistics officer is the most complicated. However, as long as there is "Zhao Lao", all the trivial things, scattered and scattered, miscellaneous, all of Zhao can handle the well-organized.

The method that Wang Chong said, he just listened, and immediately knew that this was basically not feasible. In order to curb the East and West Turkistan, it is absolutely impossible to make a big mistake because of the small loss.

In the Chamber of Deputies, everyone thought that Wang Chong would have any high opinions. When I heard this, one by one was also disappointed. After all, it’s still young, only fifteen years old. How can you know more about the things in the hall?

If you increase the price, you can suppress the output of the iron. If things are so simple, they have already been solved, and they are used here to discuss.

"Oh, if you simply increase the price, of course you can't..."

Wang Chong smiled confidently, his eyes swept through the audience, and he was not discouraged at all:

"But if you use tariffs?"

"tariff?"

Zhao Lao was amazed and frowned for the first time. The other old people are also novel, look at each other, but also have great interest in Wang Chong.

They have never heard of this thing.

"Dare to ask the young master, what is the tariff? The old man has been in contact with finance, taxation, logistics... for the rest of his life. The tax collector of Datang does not know, but the old man is dull, what is this tariff?"

Zhao Laozheng color road, put on the posture of humbly asking for advice. This is also a strength of him. If you encounter something you don't understand, you will definitely not leave your question. It is also true when you are old.

This is also the reason why the Father trusted him for his half-life!

Looking at the old people watching themselves, Wang Chong could not help but laugh. The East and West Turkic Khanates have been thinking about it for a long time in the past, and their utility can be solved with a tariff!

Although in another place, tariffs have long been known to everyone. But in this world, everyone still doesn't know what the tariff is!

The Datang Empire has household tax, Ding tax, head tax, market tax, business tax... but there is no “tariff”.

A large number of big eater, strip supporter, Turkic, Goguryeo people come to the inland to buy things, and enjoy the same price as the Middle-earth.

Therefore, even if the court severed the trade with the East and West Turkic Khanates, the nomadic Khanates could still get the iron input from the Datang Empire through the big food and the supporters.

For a big country where the country is doing business, this is actually very abnormal. Datang has been doing business for a long time, and many people have not realized that there is such a thing as "tariff".

If you don't realize it, then Wang Chong feels that it is necessary for him to remind them to let them realize the existence of this kind of thing!

"Grandpa, there are also seniors. Salt iron is a special industry, especially iron. With the advice of grandchildren, there is no need to pay taxes when buying and selling in the inland. So everyone can enjoy the preferential price, and will not Cause confusion."

"But if someone wants to take these irons, leave the Tang Dynasty, leave Shenzhou, enter the branch, eat big food, or the eastern and western Turkic Khanates in the north, then you can set a checkpoint at the border to collect taxes. It is called a tariff!"

"Because these irons are not circulating inside Datang, the price is certainly not the same as the inside. In terms of tax rate, it can be doubled, even doubled, tripled... to five times the price!"

"In this way, it will not affect the internal price of salt and iron. Second, it can bring an extra, huge fiscal revenue to Datang."

"Because iron is in a big country and political factors, it is often in large quantities. So if we impose iron tariffs, there will only be two situations. The first one is the need for the overall strength of the Turkic countries. Regardless of the price, they are still buying in large quantities. So we can't stop them, but at least we can get a lot of money to subsidize the empire."

"Second, the price is too high. The East and West Turkistan countries have given up buying. It is even better! In this way, although we lost a lot of money, we completely suppressed the irons of the East and West Turkistan. Input, invisibly inhibits their combat effectiveness. - Isn't this our purpose?"

"And, the tariffs only end in the salt and iron industry, and other industries will not be affected. So the Holy Emperor does not have to worry about the trade between East and West."

"Of course, tariffs do not stop at salt and iron. Other things can be taxed. As long as the tax rate is appropriate, it is equally feasible. Of course, these need to be negotiated by the court. Instead of being alone, the grandson can talk about it casually. solved."

In the end, Wang Chong glanced at his uncle.

In the Chamber of Deputies, everyone has been listening carefully. At the beginning, everyone also disagreed with Wang Chong, but the more they heard the back, the brighter the eyes were. At the end, Wang Chong’s "Zhao Lao" was originally rejected. Looking at Wang Chong, his eyes were already amazed. .

If he didn't hear it, he couldn't believe it was spit from the mouth of a 15-year-old child.

Tariffs, tariffs..., a group of old guys only think about the north of the country, the threat of growing, the increasing number of irons, the national strength is getting stronger, so the most direct way is to ban the iron, Close the trade between the things and the awkwardness.

Or just like the grandson of Jiugong, "from the young master," and the East and West Turks hit a glimpse, and they shocked them. But no one has ever thought that it is possible to use the "tariff" thing, and it is not moving, the soldiers are not bloody, they smashed the East and West Turkistan, and banned their iron input.

Moreover, as an elder of the political and logistical aspects of the Tang Dynasty, he is almost certain that his Majesty will definitely promise.

Even without too much consideration, the people in the court will quickly pass the resolution. In particular, those finance ministers will definitely push this matter to the fullest extent.

"Ha ha ha, Xue Zikai, the finance minister can find a few ropes, commit suicide. I think they are thinking about various names every day, how to collect taxes from the people, blood and sweat. But the tariffs are so good, they I didn’t even think of it! The merchants who don’t always say that they have money? So many tax collectors, they haven’t thought of it for so many years!”

Zhao Lao patted his thigh and laughed.
