Yuan Shan didn't know that the personnel of the Cangzhou going to sea for the second time were very lively, not only Zhou Ru, the captain and weapons supervisor of the second voyage, but also the people from several guards in the imperial city were all on this ship.
And he also brought back the swordsmith Terashimamasa, who would create weapons for Sukita Jun.
When the Cangzhou returned to Cangzhou, the crew had a holiday, because the big ship would no longer go to sea after winter, and the Cangzhou would also need some maintenance after two long-distance trades, which would be handed over to the shipyard craftsmen.
The Li brothers, Hao Dayi, Liu Tong, Gao Biaoren and others returned to Chang'an with the goods, and there were soldiers from various guards along the way to protect them.
This walk was two months smaller, because the weather was very cold in November, and there were a few elementary school trips that delayed a lot of trips.
But by December, the crowd had rushed back.
In the imperial city, on the day when the group of people who came back from Cangzhou came back, Xin Liangchou entered the palace to face the saint.
"Your Majesty, the Fuso swordsmith is now in the Ordnance Supervisor, and he has brought back all the tools that Terashima is building, and the craftsmanship is indeed slightly different from the Ordnance Supervisor, and it will take some time to combine the craftsmanship."
Xin Liangchou said.
"Well, you've worked hard this time."
Li Shimin said.
"For Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, this is what Weichen should do."
Xin Liangchou said.
"Well, tell me about the situation of going to sea this time."
Li Shimin said.
Xin Liangchou immediately told everything he saw and learned when he went to sea with the ship.
"A few porcelains can be exchanged for a beauty, and Yuanshan's business is not a loss."
Li Shimin muttered.
"By the way, what is that Lingnan grass, and why is there such a big sales."
Li Shimin asked.
Xin Liangchou was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, this Lingnan grass is said to be produced from Lingnan, originally used to burn and repel mosquitoes, or used to make boils medicine in the Blue Sky Medical Center, and later it is said that someone found that Lingnan grass has a refreshing effect after being lit and smoking, so Yuanshan transported all this grass to Fusang and Silla, and the people there seem to have relied on it for a while, so the number of Lingnan grass sold at sea this time is said to be several times more than the first time." ” "Refreshment."
Li Shimin began to ponder in his heart.
He is the emperor has something good and doesn't even give him some, obviously knowing Yuan Shan's character of asking for money for his death, but after understanding that Lingnan grass does not have any sales points in Datang at all, he directly sells all this grass in Lingnan to Fanbang, which has to make people suspicious.
However, after listening to the business income this time, Li Shimin was also excited, but his treasury could not receive a penny of silver, which made him more depressed, so he became interested in the tax law that Yuan Shan once proposed.
Because it is clearly written above, the people's taxes are exempted, but the customs and commercial taxes are collected, but there are certain restrictions, Li Shimin did not pay attention to this at the beginning, because how can the treasury be filled if the poll tax is lost.
But now, in combination with the tariff, it seems that the current state is a relatively bad thing, and if every ship that goes to sea to trade is taxed, it is quite a lot of silver.
Moreover, the profits from the trade at sea made him, the emperor, a little unable to sit still, and wanted to set up a fleet to make money.
And with the money, he won't worry about the investment in the train project.
After letting Xin Liangchou leave, Li Shimin found several ministers to discuss the matter.
"What do you think about shipping matters, I want to increase taxes?"
Li Shimin said.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The commercial tax can be applied to the ship, and there is no need to reformulate the tax form. ” "The minister seconded the proposal."
Du Ruhui said.
Fang Xuanling thought about it on the side before saying: "Your Majesty, this matter is a commercial matter, and the situation of the shipyard is only best understood by the Economic Development Department, so it is better to listen to the advice of Yuan Servant." ” "Xuanling is right, someone will call Yuanshan here."
Li Shimin said.
Then several people began to talk about the trade at sea, and the news of the second return of the Cangzhou had already spread in Chang'an, especially the fact that the goods of the Tang Dynasty could be exchanged for Fusang Nu was even more lively.
At this time, they didn't know that Yuan Shan really had a headache about where these Fusang girls went, to say that they didn't need so many people to be complex workers, the Yuan family's food processing factory didn't need so many people, and the textile factory of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce had more than 30,000 people, so they didn't need to recruit people at all, so what else could they do.
Directly sent to Pingkangfang According to Liu Tong, it is impossible to maximize the benefits at all, unless the Economic Development Department operates in the courtyard of Pingkangfang, but how can the Economic Development Department do such a business, if it is done, it is not as simple as impeachment.
And Yuan Shan will not arrange these Fanbang women to some skilled workshops in order to prevent the leakage of technology, who can be sure that these women will not hide spies in them.
Just when Yuan Shan was worried, someone came to the palace.
Soon Wonsun met the emperor.
"I am discussing with my ministers about the application of commercial taxes to shipping, and I would like to hear your opinion."
Li Shimin said directly.
"The minister thinks it's a good thing to encourage maritime merchants and develop shipping."
Yuan Shandao.

"How can the addition of customs revenue become the development of maritime transportation?"
Li Shimin said in his heart.
"Tell me about it."
Li Shimin immediately asked.
"In addition to increasing the tax revenue of maritime merchants, the purpose of increasing the tax revenue of the treasury is naturally the importance of the Datang coastal defense, if the ship goes to sea without the management of the imperial court, how to collect taxes, so the Datang coastal defense department must have, with the organization in the officers and soldiers is naturally to strengthen the construction of coastal defense, and the purpose of tax collection is to fill the treasury, then naturally to encourage merchants to develop maritime trade, so that the more ships, the more frequent the trade, the more revenue from the treasury, the minister thinks this is a good thing, I just hope that there can be a reasonable collection method in the amount of tariffs, and the simplicity of the minister feels that the amount of taxes at the beginning is lighter, which will help the development of Datang shipping in the future.
"Yuan Shandao.
Li Shimin was a little unhappy in his heart, a shipload of goods could be sold for so much money, and he still wanted to pay taxes lightly.
However, the current situation is that there is only one ship going to sea to trade at present, and even if heavy taxes are collected, how much money can be collected at one time, if Cangzhou is not at sea, it will not be collected in the future.
If you think about Yuanshan, naturally, after the development of maritime business, taxation will not be a problem.
Wouldn't it be more cost-effective if the imperial court's own fleet went to sea to earn income from trade?
No matter how he thought about it, this sea tax must be collected, so he said: "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Economic Development to formulate." ” Yuanshan is under a lot of pressure, not because he can't do it, but because the Economic Development Department is so kind of people, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.
Thinking about money, Yuan Shan actually didn't remind Li Shimin that Cangzhou Shipyard is nominally an official office, and even if it wants to pay taxes, it will not be Cangzhou's turn, but the property of the Ministry of Economic Development is also the assets of the imperial court, how to collect commercial tax.
