Bullet Screen Taught Me To Be A Queen [MTL]

Chapter 206-207

"Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how big the grain dealer is, he dares not mess around this year." Guo Fan replied confidently.

In terms of strong financial resources, no one can compare with the court. If the court wants to stabilize the price of food, no one dares to come to trouble.

However, all kinds of taxes are the most of the income of the imperial court. Nowadays, the way of collecting taxes is to pay whatever the people grow. Even straw is part of the tax, which needs to be handed over to the local government for livestock to eat.

With this part of the tax, the farm needs to spend money on feed, and all kinds of odds and pieces needed by the government also need to spend money.

As a result, the financial pressure in various places has suddenly increased.

Guo Fan said with some lack of confidence, "Can all kinds of commercial taxes and all kinds of workshops of the court support the operation of the court this year?"

"What are you afraid of? That is, the war in the first two years. If it hadn't been for the war, I would have had enough food to eat. And now Jiang Guo's granary has enough grain hoarded. It's okay to have a try. Jiang Zhen replied.

"With a weaving workshop, the cloth tax can be exempted for a long time, but there will never be much grain. Although the world is unified, there are still four tigers around.

With Guo Fan's vision, he has long seen the power of industrial centralized production. Nowadays, there are weaving workshops in all counties, resulting in a large reduction in the number of women who weave at home. They all go to the workshop to work for money. When paying taxes, they buy cloth from the workshop and pay taxes.

The production method of the workshop has caused the price of cloth to plummet, but the grain can't do this. Even if it is a high-yielding grain, it must be carefully cultivated to harvest.

Jiang Guo still needs to deal with the Hu people in the future, and the food can't be neglected.

"As long as the court has money and wants food, just buy it from the people. Why do you have to keep an eye on the grain tax?" Jiang Zhen patted Guo Fan on the shoulder and said, "The pattern is bigger, and your vision is more far-term."

"But agriculture is fundamental." Guo Fan couldn't help retorting, but thinking that Jiang Zhen was only tax-free for one year for the time being, Guo Fan didn't persuade him any more.

[That was before. Now that industry and agriculture go hand in hand, the importance of the food tax has been greatly reduced.]

[The court fought against the outside world, protected the people, paid taxes, and supported the court. What Guo Fan has come into contact with has always been this mode, and he hasn't jumped out of this circle yet.]

[For such a person, it's useless to say more. He will understand it after reading it once.]

Because of the tax exemption this year, officials in all counties are ready to tighten their belts.

Just after the autumn harvest, the officials of the government rushed around and informed the people of the township, "This year, the court exempts taxes. If there is surplus grain at home, it can be sold to the county government. The price of rice is 20 yuan per stone, and the price of beans and sweet potatoes is not low..."

The geographical conditions of each county are different, and the purchase prices of all kinds of grain are also different, and the price set by the court is neither high nor low, which can be regarded as a support for the people.

If the price given by merchants is high, the people can sell the grain to the merchants. If the price is low, the people can sell it to the court.

The court has made a statement, and the local merchants are also interested. In terms of price, they are the same as the court, or slightly higher.
