Chapter 424: Treating The Symptoms And The Root Cause, Population And Market [Please Subscribe, Plea
When society was still in the agricultural era, before it entered the industrialization era, and before it touched the carrying limit of the land.
The larger the population, the greater its ability to comprehensively resist risks.
To give a simple example, if the population of the people is one.
So the most that this common man can do with his own strength is to take care of the one-third of an acre of land in front of his door. There are many things that he cannot do.
For example, if you build a water conservancy facility to ensure water supply for acres of land, you may not be able to build it in your lifetime if you rely solely on the strength of one common person.
Or even if it is built, it will take at least seven or eight years, at most more than ten years, or even decades!!!
During this period, once a natural disaster such as drought occurs, a reduction in food production can be said to be inevitable!!!
But if the population of the people is one hundred, then you can gather the power of a hundred people, and it will take at least a few months, and at most one or two years to build a simple water storage irrigation and water conservancy facility. .
With this water storage and irrigation water conservancy facility, even if we unfortunately encounter natural disasters such as drought, we can still ensure the irrigation water for acres of land to a certain extent.
This will, to a certain extent, prevent the fields from experiencing a drastic reduction in yield due to drought!!!
Similarly, if the population of the people is 1,000, then the power of 1,000 people can be gathered to build a medium-sized water storage irrigation and water conservancy facility in just 400 days.
In this way, even if there is a natural disaster such as drought, the irrigation water for the fields will not be affected, allowing the fields to produce food normally.
If the population of the common people is 10,000, then it is possible to gather the efforts of 10,000 people to build a large-scale water storage irrigation and water conservancy facility in a short period of time!
Not only can it ensure the irrigation water of acres of land in drought years, but it can also raise fish and shrimps, etc., thereby increasing the comprehensive output of the people!!!
Of course, in addition to building water conservancy facilities, resisting other natural disasters also requires more people and greater strength!!!
And when people's ability to withstand natural disaster risks increases, the overall food output will be greater.
The greater the overall grain output, the more taxes, that is, the fiscal revenue that the court can collect!!!
This is why Yan Changqing said that if you want to significantly increase the country's fiscal revenue, in the current social era, the most fundamental, longest-lasting, and most effective way is to promote the increase in the population. reason!!!
Qi King Zhu Shu, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly raised his hand and asked:
"Mr. Yan, can't you continue to develop your business?!!"
He also read this year's fiscal revenue and expenditure report of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, the original commercial tax of thirty-one tax was changed to ten-one tax, and the comprehensive commercial tax received this year reached as much as seven million (bhca).
This is almost one-third of the land tax of the Ming Dynasty and one-quarter of the total tax of the Ming Dynasty in a year!!!
If the commercial tax is changed to 10 taxes and 2 taxes, wouldn’t we be able to receive 14 million stone in commercial taxes next year?!!
This is directly equivalent to seven-tenths of Daming’s land tax per mu!!!
Of course, even if we don’t change the commercial tax rate and continue to encourage business development, that’s fine.
In the view of King Zhu Shu of Qi, business is still very profitable!!!
Rather than spending time promoting population growth, it is better to directly modify commercial taxes, or to further encourage the development of business.
In this way, the imperial court's national fiscal revenue can be increased immediately and immediately!!!
Yan Changqing nodded and affirmed:
"Can!!!"
"But, His Highness, King Qi, thinks the market with a population of 60 million is big?!!"
“Is it still a big market with a population of 120 million?!!”
Qi King Zhu Shu said directly without hesitation:
"Of course the market is huge with a population of 120 million!!!"
As soon as the words were spoken, King Zhu Bo of Qi was stunned. He already understood what Yan Changqing meant.
Yan Changqing said with a smile on his lips:
"For example, the cost of chalk is one penny a piece. Even if I set its price at a penny a piece, but my market is only for Your Majesty and Your Highnesses here, and heroes, then I can only earn nine cents at most. Guan Qian!!!”
"But if my market is 60 million Ming people."
"Then even if I price it at two cents a piece, I can still earn 60 million yuan, which means I can earn 60,000 yuan!!!"
“That’s the difference the size of the market makes.”
Yan Changqing then turned around and wrote "Treat the symptoms" and "Treat the root cause" under the heading "Population, value and national fiscal revenue" on the blackboard behind him, and said:
"If you want to increase fiscal revenue, there are two ways to treat the symptoms and the root cause."
"The solution to the symptoms is to continue to develop business."
"It is equivalent to continuing to dig down in a water tank and turning the water tank into a well."
“The deeper the well is dug, the more water it can store.
"But the further you dig down, the harder it becomes."
"And this 'difficulty to dig' is reflected in the development of business, which requires you to be very good at business."
"You need to know how much the commercial tax is set, so that you can bring the most commercial tax revenue to the court on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will not dampen the enthusiasm of merchants to do business."
"At the same time, you also need to know the various ways and means of tax evasion, tax evasion, and tax evasion by civil servants, military generals, nobles, and merchants, so as to combat and curb their tax evasion, tax evasion, and tax evasion to ensure the imperial court's commercial tax revenue."
“In addition, you also need to be aware of the material output in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and know how to use the country’s administrative means to control overall materials and prices, etc.
"Everything in this becomes more complicated the further you go, and also becomes more difficult to control."
“The fundamental solution is to expand the market!!!”
"The simplest and most direct way to expand the market is to increase the population."
"That is equivalent to expanding a water tank into a pool, then further expanding into a pond, and even finally expanding into a lake!!!"
“Although it doesn’t look as deep as a well, the water storage capacity far exceeds that of a well!!!”
Like his previous life, why foreign brands did it intentionally or unintentionally?
As long as they do something that hurts the feelings of their motherland and the nation, most people will jump out and admit their mistake immediately?!
The reason is very simple, it’s just that he can’t bear to part with the super market of his previous homeland that accounts for one-fifth of the world’s total population!!!
There is a population of 1.4 billion. Even if those foreign brands only make one yuan per person from this 1.4 billion population, that is still an income of 1.4 billion!!!
Facing such a huge population market, there are potentially huge benefits.
Even if they are asked to violate their own political correctness, after hesitating for a while, they will eventually lower their heads and say: "Hey, I was wrong."
Bowing his head really smells like his mother!!!
As for the small number of foreign brands that are unwilling to jump out and admit their mistakes, they are basically brand owners who did not occupy a large share in the market of their previous motherland and did not make much money, so they are stubborn and refuse to admit their mistakes.
"How to increase financial income, different people have different choices."
"Some people will choose to dig water wells downward until it becomes difficult to continue digging, and then the group will start digging outwards."
"And some people will start digging outward first, and only start digging downward when it becomes difficult to continue digging outward."
"Both methods, whichever comes first or which comes last, are fine."
"It's just that in my opinion, it will be much easier if you choose to expand the market than continue to develop business."
"After all, for you now, population and market are almost equal."
"As long as we work hard to increase the population of the people under our rule, we can passively achieve the purpose of expanding the market and ultimately achieve an increase in national fiscal revenue!!!"
After speaking, Yan Changqing slowly turned around and looked at the blackboard behind him.
Under the heading [Treatment of symptoms] on the left, a long and deep well is drawn.
Under the heading [Cure the root cause] on the right, there is a large lake drawn.
Under the well and the lake, there is an arrow pointing to the same goal - [National Revenue]!!!
