Datang: I was exposed by Princess Changle

After calculating, Lin Xuan smiled slightly. After all, this is two-thirds of Datang's annual financial revenue.

There are more than 300 states and counties in Datang!

Adding up so many states and counties, the annual fiscal revenue is only 400 million taels!

Datang at this time is really poor!

You know, in the Song Dynasty of later generations, the annual fiscal revenue reached [-] million at its peak!

It has to be said that the Song Dynasty was the wealthiest, most commercially developed, and most profitable dynasty.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, countless people, 360 states and counties, add up to one year's fiscal revenue, and Lin Xuan alone took only two days to complete two-thirds of it easily. Isn't this a slap in the face? Gentlemen?

You know, this money is the net income after excluding costs, labor, and taxes!

Simply horrible!

It's outrageous!

Yes, because of Lin Xuan's vigorous development of business, the business reform also started quietly.

A commercial tax has been added to merchants. At first glance, merchants have been collected by Datang.

But there are still some benefits for merchants.

The first is the official road of the Tang Dynasty, which has now been allowed to open to merchants during the non-war period. They only need to pay a small amount of tolls to travel unimpeded.

In this way, the circulation of Datang's business and the circulation of materials can be greatly promoted.

Chapter 317 Lin Xuan is right, his national policy is right!

This is also the reason why Lin Xuan can expand the Ditang store to the entire Guannei Road and even other state capitals in a short period of time.

So the merchants have gains and losses, or else, it's just the merchants' own expansion.

First of all, we must solve the trouble of high mountains and long roads, and secondly, we must solve the robbers along the way.

Now that there are official roads and the protection of the government army, for them, the commercial tax is nothing.

Lin Xuan paid the commercial tax here, and Li Shimin and Manchu civil and military officials at the other end would naturally know the amount of Lin Xuan's income in the past two days.

Lin Xuan is not afraid, after all, this can't hide anything from them.

Sooner or later they will find out how much money they have made.

After all, Lin Xuan didn't evade taxes either, so they could roughly figure out how much profit his Ditang Bingshop made in the past two days.

-

In the court hall, the daily morning court.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty took a bath every ten days!

That is to say, if you go up for ten consecutive days, you can take a day off.

It's actually quite busy, and they go to court too early, too early.

At about three or four o'clock in modern times in later generations, they will get up, and then rush to the court, which will last until noon.

If Li Shimin had an urgent matter to discuss with them, they even had to have lunch in the palace and would come back in the afternoon.

"My dear friends, what are your important matters to announce today?"

Li Shimin was sitting high on the dragon couch at this time, and asked casually.

These days, Datang is much quieter and more peaceful.

After the severe drought and the smallpox disaster were lifted, the disasters in the Tang Dynasty finally came to a halt.

"Report! Report to His Majesty, I have something important to report."

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, stood up, bowed his hands reverently and saluted.

"Liu Shangshu, let's play."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said in a calm and dignified manner.

"Report to Your Majesty, the commercial tax has been implemented on a monthly basis."

"Today is a new moon, last month's commercial tax has entered the treasury bank of each state and county."

"At present, I have counted the commercial tax of Guannei Road overnight."

Liu Zhenghui said so with a respectful face.

A group of civil and military officials immediately became energetic after hearing the words. They almost forgot that the commercial tax has been implemented for more than a month, and now is just the time to see the effect.

All the officials looked at Li Shimin one after another. This national policy was proposed by Lin Xuan, and Wei Zheng even called it a magic policy for governing the country.

Wei Zheng was the one who cared most, because he was the first to take the lead in supporting the implementation of this national policy.

"Liu Shangshu, tell me, how much is the business tax?"

Li Shimin also became interested when he heard the words. Although he was calm, everyone could hear the anticipation and tension in his voice.

"The total business tax in the Guannei Road area last month was 60 taels!"

"Excluding the odds, it's 60 taels!"

Liu Zhenghui said with excitement and pride.

As soon as this word comes out.

The audience was silent, and a needle could be heard.

This is just a month's business tax in the Guannei Road area. Of course, Guannei Road is the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty.

In the case of the Ten Ways of the Tang Dynasty, the business tax in other places is estimated to be less than half of that in Guannei Road.

But even if this is the case, the monthly business tax of the entire Datang can exceed 300 million taels of silver!

That's 600 million taels a year!

"How much... how much?"

Li Shimin's eyes were dull. He had never lost his composure in court before. He looked at Liu Zhenghui and asked in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.
