"It will be listed for auction on the stock exchange,"
"The Maritime Trade Office collects monetary taxes during the transaction process."
Wen Huanzhang said, "This method also has many loopholes."
Is there any perfect method in this world?
Zhao Yuan said, "As long as the general direction is correct,"
"The vulnerability will be automatically patched during the operation."
"The imperial court only needs to grasp the general direction,"
"We can make adjustments once a serious vulnerability is discovered."
Wen Huanzhang nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try."
Zhao Yuan said, "The buying and selling of goods can all be done at the exchange."
"To regulate the market, it would also require both parties to a transaction to register a company,"
"Pay taxes in the company's name."
"The first maritime merchant to ship goods to China,"
"Once the goods are put into storage, a company can be automatically registered for free,"
"From now on, we will conduct transactions through this company."
"To enter the exchange, you have to pay an entry fee,"
"This money was put into the slush fund of the Maritime Trade Office,"
"This also allows the maritime trade officials to profit."
"A receipt is issued when goods are traded,"
"A stamp duty can also be levied."
Wen Huanzhang said, "The Maritime Trade Office can run an exchange, but what about the Maritime Trade Market and the Maritime Trade Office?"
“Those places have small-scale trade,”
"Nothing should be taxed in kind as usual."
Zhao Yuan said,
"These taxes in kind are transported to the provinces, prefectures, and counties in proportion and allocated to local finances for free distribution."
“There must be officials profiting from this,”
"But the scale is small, which is perfectly acceptable."
"Send people to inspect various ports periodically,"
"If it is found that the trading volume in a certain Hong Kong has increased significantly for several consecutive years,"
'The imperial court could consider upgrading it to the Maritime Trade Office,'
"And establish an exchange."
Wen Huanzhang thought carefully,
This method has many flaws.
But it is clearly superior to the sieve-like sieve of the Song Dynasty.
We can try it for a few years and see how it goes!
The decisions made by policymakers on a whim
As long as the general direction is correct
Not only can the people fill the gaps,
They can even give you all sorts of fun.
It is estimated that the exchange used for buying and selling goods
Futures trading will emerge in a few years.
At that time, the futures trading process will need to be standardized and taxes will need to be levied.
Zhao Yuan asked, "By the way, what's the situation in Goryeo?"
Wen Huanzhang gave a brief explanation and smiled.
"Don't count on Korea,"
"Goryeo would definitely not send troops before the collapse of the Jin Dynasty."
"Only when we crush the Jin dynasty..."
"Only Korea would dare to come out and take advantage of such a bargain."
"The only truly reliable ally is Yelü Dashi."
Zhao Yuan said, "Then just send a few envoys to visit Goryeo in return."
"The customs duty exemption policy for Goryeo should also be abolished."
.....
In the winter of the first year of the Hongwu reign, the first snow fell.
The weather isn't too cold yet.
But officials are already eligible for low-temperature subsidies.
Zhong Shidao, as a cabinet minister,
Travel by horse-drawn carriage to the imperial city.
Even he could only use inferior horses to pull his cart.
The Royal Horse Racing Centre has been restored.
But there are only a few hundred horses there at present.
A large portion of them were supplied from Lanzhou.
The snow wasn't heavy; it melted quickly after hitting the ground.
The street was wet.
Various hawking cries filled the air.
There were also patrol soldiers inspecting along the street.
If you find a beggar,
They would immediately report it to the head of the ward.
(Patrolmen were similar to community police officers; they already existed in major cities during the Song Dynasty.)
The magistrate then sent people to investigate.
If the beggar has family members
His family was ordered to keep a close watch on him.
Those without family,
Or those whose families are poor,
The nursing home will temporarily take over.
Different arrangements will be made depending on the circumstances.
Young and healthy
Once enough people had gathered, they were all relocated to the northwestern frontier.
Elderly or disabled people
They were adopted by the nursing home and given jobs.
They are generally involved in the production of military equipment.
For example, making an ancient version of compressed biscuits.
Making vinegar cloth,
Sewing soldiers' uniforms, etc.
The first batch of soldiers' regular uniforms
The specifications have been finalized.
Prioritize the re-equipping of the troops in the capital region.
The style wasn't too outrageous.
Only slightly modified the Song Dynasty's split-crotch robe.
This type of military uniform is very convenient for movement.
It is the standard uniform of soldiers in the Song Dynasty.
But during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song...
Even the Imperial Guard might not issue it.
At most, they would give the soldiers a small amount of money to make it themselves.
The officers' uniforms were of a higher rank.
However, the overall styles are not much different.
Chapter 1830 The Splendor of the Han Dynasty
Hats included turbans and straw hats.
The officer wore a leather hat.
The soldier wore a straw hat.
Officers may wear leather shoes.
The soldier wore cloth shoes.
The Five Elements theory of mutual generation and restraint...
Zhao Yuan didn't even bother to care.
The soldiers' everyday clothes were all dyed red.
Zhong Shidao looked at the street scene through the carriage curtain.
He is more satisfied with Tokyo now.
Although Tokyo was once prosperous,
But there are too many beggars in remote corners.
In winter, it couldn't withstand the wind and snow.
Some can only freeze to death.
Or perhaps it was hidden in a culvert and absorbed by the underground world.
The imperial court has now established a special fund.
They were all sent to the northwest frontier to farm.
The carriage arrived at Donghua Gate.
Zhong Shidao got off the bus and went inside.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at the "waiting room".
This is a newly established rule.
Officials entered the imperial city to pay homage, conduct official business, or attend court.
Officials of the fourth rank and above may ride in horse-drawn carriages.
