Chapter 859 How much will the tax be?
Zhang Liang immediately said, "Sir, please forgive me. I accidentally let a beggar wander in."
The old beggar was immediately frightened. He knelt down and kowtowed to Qin An, saying: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please have mercy..."
Upon seeing this, Qin An immediately helped the old beggar up and said, "Old man, please get up. Please get up quickly."
When the old beggar saw that Qin An helped him up regardless of his identity and how dirty he was, he was immediately excited and moved.
After Qin An helped the beggar up, he sighed and said, "To be honest, I plan to make the final arrangements for the beggar.
Because begging is a very interesting industry, some of them have no choice but to become beggars. Such people try their best to live a good life.
But there is another kind of beggar. They are real beggars. They are not engaged in production and live in a state of ruin.
This kind of beggar is not afraid of being caught or tortured. He has no dignity. He can eat their saliva and lick the soles of other people's shoes just for a bite to eat.
This kind of beggar is hopeless, so I am going to put it last.
Another reason is that people like you are ambitious but are too old to do physical work. "
"I have strength, I can work." The old beggar said anxiously, and then looked around to think of something to do to prove that he was really strong.
Qin An stopped and said, "I believe you. Alas, I originally planned to let you enjoy happiness, but I always felt that you were too old, so I think you should have reached the age to enjoy happiness.
As long as Handan City is developed, I can set up a nursing home and bring your helpless elderly people to the nursing home. All the food and clothing will be taken care of, and the expenses will be paid by the court.
But the conditions are not mature now, so I can only wrong you and let you work for a few more years. "
"Don't worry, Emperor Master, as long as the villain can change his destiny, he will do whatever he wants." The old beggar said.
Qin An nodded and said, "Okay, if you have this ambition, I will give you a chance, and I will give all the people present a chance.
Yesterday I said that knowledge changes destiny. I will establish an academy. Old man, I now hire you as the cleaner of the academy.
The so-called cleaners are those who clean up the garbage in the academy and keep the academy clean.
There will definitely be more than one cleaner in the college by then, so I will give everyone a chance, especially the elderly, especially the old people like this one who have no one to rely on and can only beg for a living.
The so-called opportunities actually provide some jobs that only the elderly can do well, such as janitors, cleaning, etc. "
"Master, don't forget, there are many old beggars in Handan City. There is only one here. If you walk on the street, you can see old beggars everywhere."
A middle-aged man stood up. He was wearing smart clothes. He looked like a practicing practitioner at first glance. He had a high nose bridge, clear outlines, and a broad forehead. The three of them couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It's not because of how good-looking he is, but because of his temperament that people can't help but look at him more.
This person exuded a confident temperament, which made Qin An nod slightly.
"You are right." Qin Andao said, "So we need to create more jobs, and more importantly, develop Handan City.
If you want to develop Handan City, you need to rely on these nobles. The salt, iron, fur and other industries are especially developed because you are close to the border, you have the Huns as your big customers, and you have relationships with surrounding countries.
You can sell the Xiongnu's items to other countries, and you can sell the Xiongnu's items from other countries to the Xiongnu. The price difference earned in the middle can support a noble. "
"But now that the Xiongnu has been destroyed, and the other six kingdoms have also been destroyed, what business can we do?" the middle-aged man said.
Qin An nodded and said, "You are half right. The Six Kingdoms were indeed destroyed, and the Huns were also destroyed, but this does not mean that you cannot do business.
First of all, the Huns lacked not only salt and iron, but also wine, tea, grain, etc.
But this is a matter for the caravan, so
Let’s talk about it later. Today I will recommend a few businesses to you.琇书蛧
The first one is the cement business. I will build a cement workshop, a salt workshop, a steel workshop and a series of workshops here.
Also, I will move all my business in Xianyang City here, and anyone who wants to do business with me can do so with me.
Secondly, I will sell some of my merchandise to the general agent, Zhao's general agent. "
"General agents?" the middle-aged man asked.
Qin An said: "The so-called general agent means that only he can sell the goods of Qin An Industry, and no one else can."
boom.
Qin An's words directly aroused discussion among the nobles. Qin An's meaning was very clear. Whoever can win the general agent of Zhao land will make a fortune.
Others don't know, how could they not know how easy it is to sell Qin An's goods, let alone Zhao Di, even if the agency rights of Handan City are good, it can make people become wealthy businessmen.
When the middle-aged man heard the discussion around him, he frowned slightly and said, "What good will this do to the development of Handan City?"
Qin An smiled and said, "Of course. First, I will build various workshops in Handan City. By then, I will need a lot of workers, maybe one hundred thousand or one million workers."
By then, I'm afraid all the beggars on the street will come to help me work. But don't worry, I will still put all the workers back to harvest during the autumn harvest. It is impossible to let the food rot directly in the ground.
I will treat one hundred thousand workers as working for me. Each worker will be given two taels of silver a month. I will give the worker two hundred thousand taels a month. For twelve months in a year, that is 2,400,000 taels of silver.
For such a large amount of silver, the government's tax rate is 1/10, which is 240,000 silver.
This is still a worker's tax. The goods produced in my workshop must be sold.
I can give workers 2.4 million taels a year, so the money I want to earn back is at least 2.4 million taels, of which business tax is 4 out of 10. In other words, I have to sell at least 5 million taels. two. .Ь.
And may I only sell it for five million taels? Impossible, I would sell at least 10 million, or even more, especially salt, which is a consumable. If Handan City didn't have hundreds of thousands of people, then the salt alone would cost 10 million taels.
There are also clothes, restaurants, cultivators, seeders, etc. Which of these is not a big money-making business?
Once my workshop is built, it can also drive other workshops in Handan City. For example, after I established a clothing company, if I needed cloth, I would be able to drive the textile industry in Handan City, as well as sericulture workshops and other fabric workshops.
And the steam plow, I needed different materials that I couldn't possibly build myself and would definitely teach others to build.
There are also restaurants and restaurants that need ingredients and buy them from other people.
How much tax revenue would the government receive per year at that time? "
