Chapter 711 The development of the Tang Dynasty!
After Li Mu made up his mind to conquer the world, the next thing he did was to vigorously develop the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Mu had decided on his plan to conquer the world, he still needed to make a lot of preparations, such as grain and grass. Li Mu's grain and grass are not only a little or two. He now has the largest population in the entire Central Plains and the most sufficient grain storage. Without some grain and grass supplements, Li Mu could not maintain such high-intensity exercise for a long time. In this way, there must be a large amount of supplementary materials to consume grain, which takes a lot of time. Now the Tang Dynasty has vigorously promoted the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and promoted them nationwide, and has also sent a large number of people to other places to open up land and farm in other areas.
However, the profits generated by these were far from enough to consume the Tang army, so Li Mu still needed more food and grass.
The supply of food and grass has basically been completely solved. The rest is to expand outward and convert large amounts of output into wealth. In this way, there will be more time to conquer the world and let people all over the world know that the Tang Dynasty is not easy to mess with.
After the problem of food and grass was solved, Li Mu began to arrange it. The Tang Dynasty is now early spring, with clear and cloudless weather, which is the best time to vigorously develop agriculture.
In recent years, due to the cultivation of crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, the income of the Tang Dynasty has increased by more than ten times, and agricultural taxes have increased by more than doubled, with farmers' income increasing and taxes increasing, which has made agricultural taxes increasingly heavier. The current income growth rate of the Tang Dynasty has reached 35 billion jin, which is not counting the increase in grain income, but the growth rate of grain income has reached 40 billion jin.
In this way, Datang had already made steady profits in terms of agricultural income. What Li Mu wanted now was to connect the entire commercial chain through grain trade.
The difference between modern business models and ancient business models is that the development direction of modern business models is from the monopoly of commodities to the market, while the development direction of ancient business models is to increase the utilization rate of crops and pesticides to the maximum, thereby promoting the increase in grain sales. This is a huge difference and a key point for Li Mu to reform.
The agricultural taxes of the Tang Dynasty were mainly targeted at the Datang countries and farmers in the Datang. The farmers in the Tang Dynasty no longer worry about the income of grain, so they do not need to worry about their own food at all. Therefore, the importance of agricultural taxation can be seen. Now the farmers in the Tang Dynasty can buy crops at will, or they do not need to pay taxes, but only need to buy grain. Because the grain output of the Tang Dynasty far exceeds that of any other region, they do not need to pay taxes at all, and there is no pressure.
So in this regard, the Tang Dynasty is now an extremely developed era, with a large number of commodities transported through grain, thereby driving the development of the commercial industry.
In Li Mu's view, the development model of modern agriculture is similar to that of ancient business models. The difference is that the ancient business model relies on grain for transportation, while the modern agricultural model relies on manpower for transportation, thus generating huge benefits.
The biggest advantage of the modern agricultural model is manpower, and the Tang Dynasty has sufficient labor. Therefore, in the face of the modern agricultural model, other business models, even other countries in the Tang Dynasty, will lose their own advantages and become vassals of the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, Li Mu could rely on the huge population advantage of the Tang Dynasty to occupy the world's market.
For a long time to come, the Tang Dynasty will belong to the world's largest empire, and no one can shake this.
In this context, Li Mu can control the lifeblood of the entire world with his own strength, control a large amount of wealth, and hold countless powers.
At this time, Li Mu can begin to build his own political system on a large scale. These political systems will affect the policies of the entire Tang Dynasty and even the culture of the entire Tang Dynasty. These political systems will become a symbol of the national unity of the Tang Dynasty.
Now, the Tang Dynasty's political system is divided into three parts. One is the Han government system headed by the Han Dynasty. This political system is mainly in Chinese and in charge of officials in the Tang Dynasty. This political system is mainly responsible for education, imperial examinations, etc. These aspects are all under the responsibility of the great masters of the Tang Dynasty's Chinese studies. The other political system is mainly responsible for commerce and commerce. This political system is responsible for the trade of the Tang Dynasty. The main way of commerce in the Tang Dynasty is to exchange goods for goods, exchange money for goods, exchange gold for silver, and exchange gold for gold.
The development of Datang commerce is mainly divided into three categories.
The first is to barter. To put it simply, it is to transport a large amount of goods to some small countries, and then exchange the items from these small countries for a large amount of gold and copper coins.
In this case, generally speaking, people will choose to go directly to buy goods from such small commercial countries. The business development of such small commercial countries is also very fast, and their goods are relatively cheap. Generally speaking, one pound of copper can be exchanged for one pound of grain, which is the advantage of small commercial countries.
This can be seen from the current trading model that today's small commercial countries basically appear in the form of goods exchanged for goods. Only a very small commercial countries have special caravans to sell goods. These caravans are organized by the royal family of small commercial countries. These small countries are all caravans with not very strong strength, but these caravans have considerable influence in the area of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Mu's idea was that since the business model is so simple and crude, he would use this method to break this model, change the trade of small commercial countries and turn it into a barter model, thus making trade of these small countries easier.
Of course, the business model is not operated entirely according to the business model. Li Mu believes that in Datang, a commodity sales company should be set up, which is a very important responsibility, because Datang's commodity sales are not only sold in China, but can be sold in the whole world, even in Central Asia, and even around the world.
In this way, the population of small commercial countries will become larger. In this way, the trade of the Tang Dynasty will become more prosperous, and domestic agricultural taxes can be reduced, thus allowing the Tang Dynasty to develop more stably.
In addition, the business model can also formulate some specific rules, such as the Tang Dynasty can provide preferential policies to residents of small countries, so that those residents can get more benefits, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of goods and promoting commercial development.
In short, the operation of the Tang Dynasty business model will make the Tang Dynasty's business more prosperous. This is a very good development trend, and the Tang Dynasty business model has gradually been established...
