Chapter 729

In terms of commercial taxation, in order to avoid the trouble of transportation and other foot fees, the summer and autumn tax system is basically implemented.

Among them, the simple tariffs and taxes, and the governments combined together, about 6 million guan, and the imperial court accounts for half, which is 3 million guan.

However, iron, tea, salt, and wine, these four products sold by the imperial court are monopoly projects and naturally contribute more taxes.

From January to June, sea salt opened up the Jiangnan market, plus the well salt in Shu, plus overseas markets such as Khitan, Central Plains, Shandong, Goryeo, and Japan, thus reaching its peak. The salt tax reached a level of 4 million yuan in one fell swoop and will increase further in the second half of the year.

It will even reach the scene in which salt water accounts for half of the Ministry of Revenue in the late Tang Dynasty.

The salt tax does not require local sharing, so it belongs to the Ministry of Revenue, which is an extremely large amount.

The alcohol tax also increased, about 1.3 million guan. The tea tax was a lot of good tea in Jiangnan, and the tea in southern Fujian and Changsha Prefecture was dumped in large quantities, and the tea tax was about 500,000 guan.

The iron tax was slightly lower. In order to improve agricultural productivity, the court deliberately lowered the tax on agricultural tools, so its tax rate was very low, only 5% of which was about 150,000 guan.

The total number of these four monopoly sales is 5.95 million guan. If commercial tax is added, 8.95 million guan.

If converted, the grain tax is even half of the commercial tax.

In fact, this is because Li Jia exempted many miscellaneous taxes, otherwise there would be more taxes.

For example, business travel tax, oil tax, fruit and vegetable tax, mulberry tax, bridge road money, cattle rent, etc., even eating, sleeping, getting married and having children, even if you are shit, there will be taxes. The tax is not fake.

Although the exemptions of these miscellaneous taxes have suffered a lot, they have increased the income of other main taxes, with gains and losses, and overall, they are still beneficial to the people.

It is not in vain that Li Jia traveled through time. He did a lot of good things for the people, which is much better than the previous countries.

However, a total of 17 million stones of grain was transported to Changsha Prefecture, which was an important burden for the transfer office. Especially the three Lingnan prefectures and southern Minnan prefectures, which had a long journey and were not connected by rivers, so the freight was extremely exaggerated.

So, at this point, Hu Binwang began to cry and become poor:

"It is extremely difficult to move south to the Three Gorges. Even if it is the best sailor, one of the ten ships of food will be destroyed. This is a huge loss for the Transportation Office and the local governments. Please exempt your Majesty!"

In this era, when the local government transfers taxes to the court, it usually requires one to send someone to escort them to the capital, which is thousands of miles away, and the expenses are also borne by oneself.

Therefore, local tax collection generally adds a loss, which is basically 10% of the total tax, which is inevitable.

Nowadays, food and money are collected by the Transportation Office. For local governments, although they have less power, they have also lost a lot of burdens, so there is no need to worry about tax escorts.

But for the Transportation Office, there were only places such as Hunan and Lingnan before, and they didn’t think it was anything. However, the burden on them was extremely heavy when increasing the land of Shu.

Generally speaking, for tax collection, the transfer office has the largest number of people.

There are at least ten people in a county. It is normal for two or three hundred people to be in a prefecture. Now the total number of people in the ten prefectures of the Tang Dynasty and the yamen has exceeded 3,000.

Li Jia asked the Ministry of Revenue to encourage them with a lot of money every year, basically 100% per capita.

In other words, in the fourth year of Shenwu, the Transportation Office was able to obtain 500,000 guan from the Ministry of Revenue, which surplused a lot of money and grain.

But the losses in Shu were unable to pay off the excess money, and all the accumulations over the years were lost.

The fortune transfer officer felt that this was definitely a loss-making business. They dared not be corrupt, so they could only cry and be poor.

"How much has it been lost when transporting two million stones of grain in Shu?" Li Jia couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"About 130,000 shi, plus the ships that were floating, the manpower would have to be converted into copper coins, which would cost about 50,000 shi. This is one-tenth of the money and grain of the Transportation Commission a year!"

Hu Binwang immediately calculated, and then looked forward to watching the emperor and waiting for his subsidies and tolerance.

"That's it!" Li Jia turned her head and looked at Sun Zhao, but he lowered his head, looking serious, not knowing what he was thinking.

Obviously, the Ministry of Revenue is out of the way.

But it is impossible to let the inner treasury allocate funds and subsidies.

"What about the losses of the three Lingnan prefectures?"

"Although there is a spiritual channel, the road traffic is not as good as the land, and many civilians need to help them. These require money to hire, and the losses are even greater, reaching 80,000 guan!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jia shook her head.

This is simply exaggerated, and the freight is indeed a huge loss, worth hundreds of thousands of stones of food.

"The losses are divided by local governments and the transfer offices respectively!" Therefore, local tax collections generally add losses, which is basically 10% of the total tax, which is inevitable.
