Entering the Tang Dynasty on January 1, 21 AD, Li Ke's fleet officially set off to return to the Tang Dynasty.
On the way back, Li Ke thought carefully about the profit this time. For example, the supplies he carried. To be honest, almost all of them were purchased from Li Ke's own Yuelai Trading Company. The cost was difficult to calculate. Let's first calculate based on the market price of Datang. The cost including ships and other items is about 17 tons of gold, which is about 2.29 million gold.
If the remaining 1,200 tons of silver are converted into gold, it is 240 tons. Adding 187 tons of gold, the total is 427 tons of gold, with a cost of 17 tons. Profit more than 24 times?
A profit of 2400% is not bad. As for the profit of Yuelai Trading Company, what does it have to do with the shipping company? No, why should the profit earned from this exchange rate be included in the shipping company? That is my cleverness, Li Ke. Deduct another half.
This time only 213 tons of gold were earned, the cost was 17 tons, and the profit was 1250%. As for the seaport and land that we picked up along the way, they belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Let’s not count the profits. If we did, there would be no way to calculate them.
Hey, not counting the money I made, the shipping company made a total of about 26.33 million yuan this time, which is not bad, 2.6 Datang treasury, a drizzle.
After returning this time, Li Ke decided to share all the 26.33 million yuan in profits! Of course, when the time comes, he will first pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty treasury. The 3% business tax will be 28.625 million guan and he will pay 850,000 guan. The profit Li Ke will pay according to 26.33 million guan. The 10% income tax will be paid 2.6335 million guan. The total tax is 3.48 million guan. For a commercial bank Pay tax 0.34 to the treasury.
Tsk tsk, when the time comes, he wants to see Lao Li's face, and then look at the faces of the court officials who are not prepared to promote commercial tax.
Who wants to say that the commercial tax is useless? Li Ke published this figure through the "Datang Weekly". Anyway, these court ministers said that the commercial tax is useless and competes with the people for profits. They only charge agricultural taxes from ordinary people like you.
Let’s see how many people they get trolled for.
Although Li Ke left, Pei Xingjian did not leave, but stayed in place. He will be stationed here for at least a year. Baling Peninsula, Baling Port, Dongyang Peninsula, Dongyang Port and other places were all given to Pei Xingjian. In addition, Murong Shun and another general Niu Jinda were stationed here, and their command was also given to Pei Xingjian.
The other is to keep Liu Yilong's navy of three thousand. After Li Ke returns, Datang will continue to send troops to this place.
Seeing King Qin leaving, Ashilu felt unwilling to be here. He didn't want to be here. He wanted to follow His Highness, but since His Highness entrusted him with such an important task, he couldn't delay His Highness's affairs.
He came here secretly to see off His Highness. Soon he will return to his own "Western Turks" territory. He also thought about the name of his tribe. His Highness gave him the name of the tribe "Mongolia".
Now they are nominally affiliated with the Western Turks, but the tribal name is Mongolia. In the future, His Highness says that if more Western Turkic tribes join him and he needs to become a khan, he will be given a khan name of "Genghis Khan". ".
His Highness said that this name placed great expectations on him, although he did not know what the name meant.
But for now, they are doing well. On the west bank of the river named Mongolian River, many people from the Harsha Dynasty have come to seek refuge. They originally belonged to the small country before, but now they all secretly He crossed the river and came over because His Highness said he would let them grow food here.
Therefore, Ashilu naturally accepted all comers and arranged everything, directly copying the system of the Tang Dynasty. Each household was allocated 100 acres of land, each of which was 500 square meters. Among them, 30 acres were Yongye fields, and the remaining 70 acres were for Yongye fields. Pay taxes.
However, due to the shortage of management personnel, Ashilu, after discussing with Murong Shun and Niu Jinda, temporarily dispatched some squad leaders to serve as township leaders, and then arranged them. By the way, the soldiers from these squads were also arranged nearby. They usually trained and managed at the same time. A township.
In fact, they didn't know why so many people came over. In fact, if Li Ke knew the detailed report here, he would understand why so many people came over.
Because there is a subtle force and thought that has been playing an unknown role.
Almost all of the 10,000 soldiers who are currently following Ashylü are die-hard loyalists of Li Ke. What kind of education did these soldiers receive during training? It is completely based on the military training system of later generations, Li Ke's thoughts in Xizhou, and the education derived from military training.
When they came here, although this was not the land of the Tang Dynasty, all the soldiers who were trained always kept His Highness's thoughts in mind. They were all from the common people. They were all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. When people from these places After surrendering, in the hearts of these soldiers, this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
Although it is not appropriate for them to make it public now and just declare that this is the Western Turks, in everyone's hearts, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty! Then these people are naturally the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Because these people are all Tuyuhun herdsmen, His Highness treated them equally in the beginning, and also used this idea to cultivate, educate and train them.
Now that they have come out, of course they cannot forget His Highness's teachings. Your Highness is the Immortal Heaven in their minds.
Therefore, these ordinary soldiers who were temporarily assigned tasks naturally treated these ordinary people in the same way as His Highness did.
Divide fields for them, instruct them how to farm, talk to them heart-to-heart, and tell them to come to them when they need help.
Niu Jinda and Murong Shun are also generals, but they are not the kind of generals who are capable of civil administration. In these lands, Datang cannot send too many personnel for the time being, so they can only arrange it like this.
They don't know how to care about grassroots affairs. As long as these squad leaders can manage a township well and don't report major problems, they will definitely ignore them. But Niu Jinda doesn't understand martial arts, but he knows how to fight!
They now only have 10,000 elite soldiers, and nearly half of them have to be assigned to this not-so-small piece of land in squads. And the army organized by the remaining five thousand troops cannot support many places at the same time.
So Niu Jinda left an order to these soldiers. If you have the ability, try to train the surrounding villagers and the like as much as possible. If there is an enemy invasion, these people will be a force if they are organized. .
So these soldiers guided these people to farm and manage, and began to tell these people what Li Ke had taught them. There are no gods, and we can only save ourselves.
