In 1859, Li Taiguo, the British Tax Supervisor of Jiang Customs, was appointed as the General Taxation Department, responsible for recruiting foreigners to serve as the Tax Division at various ports. Since then, the management of Chinese customs by the Foreign Tax Division has become a system. Since 1861, Hede, an Englishman from Guangzhou Deputy Tax Division, served as the General Tax Division (original agent), and has been managing Chinese customs for nearly half a century.

In the end of the Qing Dynasty, customs management and tax collection were controlled by customs supervision appointed by the Qing government. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the General Taxation Department and the diplomatic group in Beijing deposited the customs taxes in the accounts of the General Taxation Department of HSBC, Dehua and Daosheng. From then on, the right to custody of taxes fell into the hands of foreigners, and even the remaining Guanyu for repaying debts and compensation, the Chinese government had no right to use it.

By grasping a country's customs, you can plunder a large amount of its country's wealth and even adjust the tax rate arbitrarily to facilitate its country's economy and trade to enter this country where the customs rights are deprived.

It’s important, it’s really his grandmother’s importance. Since it is such an important government agency, how could it not be established? How could it be allowed to flow out of the land of China freely through countless money.

No, it is never allowed. As a member of the excellent Chinese nation, how could the outstanding passionate young man of the Chinese nation who has finally stood up in the 21st century after countless hardships?

When I think of the under-paid tariffs paid by the glass products sold by my glass company, my heart is dripping blood.

When Fang Xuanling and other officials heard that I was presenting facts, reasoning in front of them, and calculating the current international trade in Chang'an, all the civil and military ministers were green in their eyes and hungry for ten days. Then they saw a hungry dog ​​with fragrant meat and bones placed in the glass counter in front of them, greedy and angry. Why didn't they think that there was a large sum of money that should belong to us.

"For example, the tariff on glass products is 20%, so if one million glass products leave the country, the customs should charge 200,000 guan of money. For example, the tariff on silk products is 17%. Similarly, the customs should charge merchants 170,000 guan before the goods leave the country... In just this year, the total trade volume in the West Changan City was about 25 million guan, and among them, the value of goods transported abroad is at least 20 million guan. According to the average customs tax rate of 10%, we will charge at least 2 million guan less tax." This young master spitted and slapped the chart I drew overnight with a whip in his hand.

You can see shocking numbers and various detailed data above. Fang Xuanling heard this number and felt so distressed that his mouth was trembling. It was as if Grandet saw two wicks lighted in the lampstand in front of him.

"It must be collected. Grandma. Our military budget this year is only about two million yuan. Just this moment, our Chinese Revival Army has lost all the food and food." Cheng Yaojin jumped up first and said murderously, looking like a thug who was going down the mountain to rob.

However, Ma Zhou, the censor who has entered the new position of the magistrate, frowned: "Lord, if this is the case, will the foreign vendors stop buying our business, or reduce their purchases?"

"Ma Zhou, you have come all the way from Shandong, have you ever seen someone who set up checkpoints to collect money on the road?" This young master looked at Ma Zhou with a smile and asked. This guy was a famous minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty. Now, it is precisely because of my master's quasi-vegetarian food that all the talents are promoted in an extraordinary way, and he finally seduced this guy from Shandong.

He is from Shandong. His parents died when he was young and were lonely. However, he was very studious. Through unremitting efforts, he read a lot of history books. With his talent, he was already full of knowledge at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

He was young and energetic, and he really hoped to find a suitable lord to show his talent. This young master happened to catch his eye.

This young master also raised an army in Hancheng at a young age, then took Yan'an in the north and settled Guanzhong in the south. Then, he managed the entire Guanzhong in an orderly manner, the people lived in peace and business in the east, and all industries were prosperous, without any sign of suffering from war. More importantly, the statement that officials and gentry, who jointly paid food and ruled the world with scholars and officials made Ma Zhou have the urge to come to Guanzhong to see, and even more wanted to see what kind of person this young master was.

After traveling all the way, I lived there for nearly three months, and then decided to become an official here. His talent was soon discovered by Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Human Resources Department, and recommended it to me. I have to say that Fang Xuanling became the most indispensable minister under my master.

I have the most things to do, but even though I am so busy that I can only jog in the toilet, I still pay great attention to discovering talents, which makes me really not know how to praise him. Unfortunately, I still have too few talents under my command now, otherwise I really don’t want him to take on so many positions. I hope this guy can devote all his energy to the work of the Human Resources Department and continue to explore useful talents for me.

This guy, Ma Zhou, is a bit paranoid and a little stubborn, but it is undeniable that his talent is indeed good and he is good at responsibilities.

"This..." Ma Zhou nodded and replied, "Not only have it, but also a lot of it. Some people have a level on the territory, and even every other county. No matter what you go, you have to charge money.

"And I can do it under the rule of the Chinese Revival Army?" Fang Xuanling also came back to his senses and then asked with a smile.

Ma Zhou then replied suddenly: "No, not only does it have it under the rule of the lord, but even if it is a lord, there is no connection between the princes... So that's what it means, it seems that my ministers are thinking awkwardly. Indeed, under the rule of the lord, there is no need to set up checkpoints randomly. Even if it is calculated at the highest 20% tariff, it is much lower than the heavy taxes in the lord's land."

Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the three more benevolent among the princes, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and Xiao Xian. These three are still in the territory. The servants are there to buy money from abroad, especially the vendors from other places, who collect even more ruthlessly.

However, they did not receive any injuries. After all, they knew very well that if there were no vendors, their territory would definitely not be stable. As for people like Liu Wuzhou or Xue Ju, unless they paid a lot of money or were vendors under their own hands, merchants from other places would wait for the ground to be scraped.

On my territory, whether it is Guanzhong or Yan'an, a product is only taxed. This is why there have been more and more merchants in Chang'an and Guanzhong areas in the past six months. They don't move their families to Chang'an or Guanzhong areas, because the taxes here are much lower than those in other places, and officials and servants dare not extort merchants. As long as they find out, they will not only return all the dirty money, but also be suspended from work. If they commit another crime, they will be laid off directly.

That's right, the word laid-off has been recorded on the official code, and dozens of articles are all stipulated that officials cannot handle. Once there is any violation, the first time is to suspend office for two months as a warning, and the second time, the second time, the second time, the young master is directly laid-off. I don't have the time to do anything to anyone, but I don't have the energy to do anything for anyone.

This is why there is a reason why there is a kind of prosperity in Guanzhong today even more than during the Kaihuang Daye period. Now, if the Western Regions Channel falls into my hands, I believe that merchants from the Western Regions countries will definitely rush in.

At that time, I will require that all tariffs, especially those for the Western Barbarians, should be exported, so they are not allowed to use silk cloth, but can only be paid with copper coins or copper ingots.

In my memory, Huaxia is a copper-poor country, but the surrounding countries are different, especially in Central Asia, where there are all kinds of minerals, and many of them are rich minerals, especially precious metals such as gold and copper. As for silver, where this thing can be produced is the Americas.

There are also many in China, but the distribution is too scattered. Although the mining volume is not small, it is mostly in Yunnan, Guangdong, Gansu, or Northeast China.

I think it is better to try to collect minerals from abroad as much as possible. Think about the later Americans, if they hold on to the oil fields in several regions of China, they will not develop them, and most of them will be purchased, just to hope to mine them at critical moments, or after oil scarcity. At that time, the whole world will be short of oil, but they can still continue to be big oil tigers.

For example, during the Great Discovery, the most powerful Western barbarians plundered heavy metals from all over the world. They were directly mined and smelted locally and then transported back to their country. Thinking back to the beginning, Western barbarian countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and England became rich by plundering.

China lacks gold, silver, copper, iron, in a word, in China, any metal is sparse, and it should be brought in from the open face to save the surrounding countries from using our currency. When I think of this book, I feel so angry. Since you are using Chinese characters created and invented by my Chinese nation, and the currency you use is also the copper coins of my Chinese nation, then Mao still wants to establish a country independently.

A typical thing that I want to get rid of is, well, when I will dominate the world first, I will write a good idea with these courageous countries that use my Han family and copper coins. Uh, where did you talk about it before?

Well, it is about the tax collection issue. After heated discussions, a principle was finally determined, that is, the import and export tariffs of luxury goods are between 20 and 15%, while the tariffs on other ordinary goods are only between 1% and 5%.
