Chapter 1096
The market is very simple. In fact, it is just a temporary stall on the river beach. There are long sleighs along the beach. Cars and horses are pulled, and there is not even a shed.
Fortunately, April is still very cool, and the sun is hanging in the sky in the morning but it is not sunny.
This is very similar to many grass markets in the Central Plains. It has fixed locations and once every few days when it is fixed.
Fan Lubing didn't care about his identity as a county magistrate at this time, and carefully observed the market, watching the Han merchants trade with the mountain barbarians.
He found that there were many general translations in the market, and some Han merchants even knew some bargaining words. With the help of gestures, they could bargain with those bargaining people.
He also found a fact that surprised him, those barbarians were actually rich.
"That's our gold, silver and copper coins."
The manager introduced that after trading with the Shanyi people, a problem arose, that is, bartering is ultimately more troublesome. Therefore, in the end, the merchants agreed with the Shanyi people to use Tang money. When trading, the Shanyi people usually sell the merchants they brought to Han merchants first, and the Han merchants gave them gold, silver and copper coins, and then when they had money, they then bought the merchants' merchants' goods at the price.
"Do you have to pay taxes?" Fan Lubing is more concerned about this.
Although he had just arrived, he already knew that the agriculture here was exempt from tax for three years and halved in five years. In these three years, even the county magistrate took office, which means that the past year was vacancies, and then from today on, it would be exempted for three years, halved for five years.
Nowadays, the two taxes are divided into acres, and the tax and service are counted in the two taxes. If the land tax of the two taxes is reduced and the household tax is exempted for eight years, then the county magistrate will have no tax to collect. Even the servants cannot be collected because there are no free servants now, and they are all counted in the two taxes. Then one-third of the two taxes are left in the state every year, and a part of the state will be used as the office expenses of the yamen and the salary of the servants who hire people to serve.
The regular tax is gone, and Fan Lubing can only count on collecting taxes from the industry and commerce side.
"There are taxes. There is no tax on market entry in each market. They are free to buy and sell, but there are taxes on transactions, and there are taxes on twenty taxes."
The 5% tax rate is consistent with the trading tax of the court.
When Shanyi sells goods, he only takes the money after deducting taxes.
At first, Shanyi was not willing to use money, and they were more willing to use things. However, after the Tang merchants carefully persuaded them, they also found that these coins were indeed useful. As long as the coins were enough, they could buy any goods.
They understand the transaction tax levied by the Han people with them.
There are tax collectors who specialize in tax collection on the market, and there are also docks and cities. Like the guards, they were all set up at the earliest. However, they were not official in the past. Now that Fan Lubing is here, Li Leti's manager hand over these tax collection matters to Gao Lubing. The Li family will also divide the taxes they collect in the future by one-third.
However, Li did not ask the court for the taxes levied before, and Gao Lubing did not ask. After all, the court had not officially established a county in Liuhui before.
"Thank you, King Yue." With the support of Li, the tax collector team has officially been officially converted from today. Although the person belongs to the Li family, he has no other candidates now, so he can only use it first.
"What other industrial and commercial taxes are imposed besides this transaction tax?"
"According to the court's tax laws, transactions include transaction tax, in addition to transaction tax, contracts must be established and deeds must be levied. Transaction tax is 5% and deeds are 8%."
"We are still seeking Hong Kong to collect customs and Tianjin taxes, which is also 20 taxes. Business taxes are collected for shops, which are 20 sharp."
In addition to these taxes, there is also a tax on business. Two taxes are the regular taxes. Farmers mainly use land, and then tax them according to households, and then spread their taxes into a mu. However, merchants also have to pay two taxes when doing business. Their two taxes are not based on land, but are taxed based on income.
Twenty tax one.
This is actually equivalent to personal income tax.
Fan Lubing calculated in his heart that there seemed to be a lot of taxes. A Fujian merchant came with a ship of cargo, so when he entered Liugui Port, he had to pay tariffs once, twenty-tax one. When the goods were sold, he had to pay transaction taxes, twenty-tax ones. If the merchant opened his own shop on the island, he had to pay business taxes, another twenty-tax ones.
At the end of each year, two taxes have to be paid once a year, and another twenty taxes are one.
You have to pay four taxes, each time you have 20 taxes.
These tax items have actually existed for a long time. For example, transaction tax was originally called municipal tax, and later also called chamoji. Customs tax was called overt tax, and business tax was levied on merchants operating fixed shops.
In fact, the current industrial and commercial taxation is quite good. It is unified in several ways and there are no other names to collect it. The tax rate is also very uniform, and the tax rate is relatively low.
In the Cao Market, most of the products come from Fujian and other places.
Relatively speaking, the largest market on the island is still in Liuqiu City, but the shops there are mainly for immigrants. There are various commodities transported from the Central Plains, from bricks and tiles to paper, from ceramics to ironware, cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, including cloth, silk, medicinal materials, dried fruits, as well as various dyes, tea, and even needles and threads.
Although the Li family also opened a workshop on Liuqiu Island, most daily necessities still need to be transported from the Central Plains, from ploughs to hoes and sickles, from kitchen knives and spatulas for cooking, to iron pots, and even the dishes for eating bowls for serving dishes are transported from outside.
The rest of the cloth, shoes, paper, ink, pens, ink, needles, threads, etc. are almost all shipped out now.
The transactions with the Shanyi people are mainly concentrated on iron tools, needles, cloth, etc.
Especially various iron products, iron pots and kitchen knives, etc., are very popular among the Shanyi people, but the prices are also very expensive. However, the natives do not like tea, and they prefer betel nut.
The Li family has begun to transplant tea trees from Fujian to the island and build tea gardens on the island.
Some merchants even transport first-hand freight to sell ***, such as Li Ji’s pawn shop, which has many dead clothes, which were sold regularly in the past. Now Li Ji’s pawn shop has transported a lot of old clothes, etc., but it has been deeply loved by the natives.
Old clothes are as popular as new ones.
The people who sell salt, sugar, wine, etc., although they don’t love tea very much, they like wine and sugar very much. However, the white and refined salt produced by Li Ji prefers it.
Shanyi used deer, deer and other fur, as well as deer antlers, and even livestock they raised themselves, and some used medicinal materials to sell and trade.
Merchants collect almost everything, whether it is rice, rice, fur, medicinal materials, or dried fruits or seafood.
