The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"The bank has made some progress." Zhang Liang said to Lou Jing.

"Oh." Lou Jing nodded. He didn't know what the relationship between the progress of the bank's affairs and the way it would benefit Qi State, but Lou Jing turned to think about it, and felt that the turning point of the matter might be in the bank, because he wanted to build the railway. If so, there must be funds, and where does a large amount of funds come from. There is only one place. bank. A large amount of bank funds are gathered to lend to them, so that they can further solve the funding problem of railway construction.

"I can tell you the specific content, so that you can also be psychologically prepared." Zhang Liang said.

"We plan that Qin, South Korea, Qi or Qin, South Korea, and Chu jointly form some large banks to take charge of these specific matters. Qin and South Korea will not occupy more than 7% of the total capital. Fifteen." Zhang Liang said.

"In this case, you can also solve the problem and we can also occupy a certain share. After all, this is cooperation. If there is no benefit, cooperation is not necessary at all." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. I understand this. Then in order to further develop trade between countries, after all, building railways is for trade. Qin people believe that before, countries should make some efforts, mainly because this effort has brought all countries into a state of stagnation. At present, Qin Guo is very worried about this." Zhang Liang said.

"I don't know what it is?" Lou Jing asked.

"Taxes, that is, tariffs, if the governments of the three countries can reach a unified taxation or reduce tariffs, this will be of great benefit to Qin." Zhang Liang said.

"The tariffs between countries are generally high, which is extremely restrictive to the development of commerce and trade. If this continues, the significance of building railways will be greatly reduced. Therefore, banks hope to establish these large banks. On this basis, an adjustment of tariffs is made in advance to stimulate the development of commercial trade in various countries, so as to stimulate the development of more commercial economies. Only in this way can the value of railways be further reflected." Zhang Liang said.

This is also a unified opinion reached between Qin and South Korea.

Although Qi also levied commercial taxes, commercial taxes were extremely unstable, coupled with the greed of local tax collectors, invisibly increased the tax rate a lot. The increase in the tax rate was in line with the trade between China, South Korea, and Wei. Very unfavorable. No one wants to pay so much tax. After paying the tax, they will also get it in the commodity. The wool comes out of the sheep. This is a constant truth.

If this is the case, the significance of railway construction will not be too great. If it cannot stimulate a larger market, the role of railway transportation is only for South Korea and Qin. This is unfavorable for the country. It is also unable to develop the Qi market, and the goods cannot be produced and sold. In this case, investment and loan demand will decrease. These are a series of chain reactions. Therefore, Qin Guo and South Korea believe that it is necessary to adopt some measures on tariff issues. Measures, such as urging the Qi government to reduce tariffs. Or stabilise in the form of law.

"We hope that you can stabilize the tax rate below 5% in the form of law, and at the same time strengthen the relevant legal measures. Especially the management of those tax collectors. If this continues, it will cause extremely adverse effects. This is also We are extremely reluctant to see the situation. Only in this way, bank investment and loans will arrive, which will further stimulate your economic development. Although the tax revenue is less. But it can be compensated by the quantity. This, I think Mr. Understand." Zhang Liang continued.

"Yeah. What the Prime Minister said is very reasonable. I never understood why Qin and South Korea implemented such a low tax rate. Now I understand." Lou Jing said.

"For such conditions. I will give the prime minister an answer as soon as possible. Only development between the two countries can go further." Lou Jing said with a smile.

"Well. In this case, I am satisfied. However, this is only a tariff. As for the domestic situation, I personally think that Qi should carry out related tax reforms. Only in this way can Qi go further." Zhang Liang smiled. Speaking of.

"This is natural." Lou Jing replied with a smile.

"So, I will leave first. This matter is important to the country, so I won't do it anymore." Lou Jing said goodbye to Zhang Liang with a smile.

And on the other side. When the envoy of Chu heard this request from South Korea, it was as difficult to swallow as if he had eaten flies.

"Well, the tax rate is so low, it is difficult for us to survive in Chu State." Chu's envoy said to South Korea's finance minister.

"It is true. The low tax rate is indeed difficult to survive. Chu State will be in a period of great financial difficulties for a period of time in the future. However, the financial difficulties can be filled in other ways, for example, through loans or Is the issuance of government bonds and so on. These can meet the requirements of making up financial funds." The Minister of Finance explained.

"After the tax rate is reduced, we should also see that the reduction in the tax rate stimulates the development of economy and trade, and the development potential of various countries is great. The target of taxation will be expanded. In the long run, this will be very beneficial to Chu State. Yes." The Minister of Finance said.

"Our situation in Chu State..." At this moment, the Chu State envoy hesitated. A large part of the financial funds is greatly related to the interests of the nobles. The nobles of Chu not only have their own fiefs, but they can also get a lot of subsidies from Chu’s finances. Without them, they at least lack a lot of subsidies. A big piece, although taxation has little effect on them, if the tax is reduced, it will also affect their land income. All kinds of adverse effects are great.

Zhang Liang hurried over at this time, and shook his head after listening to some notes from the Assistant Secretary of Finance.

The Chu country’s envoys have been unable to agree to the relevant provisions for a long time. This is for a very good reason, because the Chu aristocrats are unwilling to lose their inherent interests in this cooperation. At the same time, they wanted to have further development. In this way, Chu's affairs would be very difficult to handle.

"The short-sightedness of the nobles of Chu State killed them." Zhang Liang exclaimed after reading the records. If the nobles of the Chu Kingdom can give up some of their gains and losses and switch taxes, they may be able to get more, but their own fiefs have formed a small country. They levied high taxes in the country, and the consequences of high taxes were naturally caused by They come to bear.
