Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

If you open a workshop, you will compete with these workshops in Yangzhou for business.

Li Ke's idea of ​​completely replicating the Yangzhou City workshop in Shanghai City is that the products of Yangzhou City will continue to be sold to various inland states.

And the products produced in Shanghai City are all sold overseas!

It is produced directly in the city, then shipped to the seaport for loading, and can be directly shipped overseas.

In this way, it is not only unnecessary to load the ship from Yangzhou, then unload the cargo at the Shanghai Chengjiang Port Wharf, and then transport it to the seaport wharf by train.

The goods are then loaded onto sea vessels before they can be shipped overseas.

This saves a lot of tedious processes and operations, and saves a lot of manpower and material resources.

Moreover, it also avoided the situation that the Yangzhou Wharf would be overcrowded at that time, so as not to affect the normal operation of the Yangzhou Wharf.

The most important thing is that the productivity of each workshop in Yangzhou City is also limited.

For example, the output of cloth is just enough to supply the entire Datang, but if you want to supply it overseas, it is far from enough.

At this time, the production capacity of Yangzhou City was reproduced in Shanghai City, which just solved the problem of goods supply.

Anyway, when the time comes, one will be supplied to Datang China, and the other will be supplied to overseas countries, each performing its duties.

Whoever's supply is not enough for the time being, can also transfer goods from here in time and so on.

In short, all of this is in Li Ke's plan, and it seems that it is proceeding smoothly now.

Li Ke then walked around the construction site again, and now the roads in the entire urban area of ​​Shanghai are all cement roads.

Moreover, various infrastructures, such as sewers, drainage systems, water pipes, etc., were constructed in strict accordance with the drawings given by Li Ke.

Then some of the areas he planned before can basically see some prototypes now.

For example, where is the industrial area, where is the residential area, the commercial area, etc.

5.9 These areas will be big money-absorbing households for Shanghai City in the future.

Needless to say, the industrial zone, a large number of products will be exported to the sea from here, and it will naturally gain a lot of benefits, which can provide huge tax revenue for the city of Shanghai.

In the residential area, Li Ke knows the ability of real estate to absorb money in future generations, so he naturally understands how much money he can make through proper operation.

After all, those who want to settle down in Shanghai are basically rich businessmen from all over the world who want to do foreign trade business.

Because he will stay in Shanghai City for a long time, it is naturally more convenient to buy a house in Shanghai City.

But buying a house now is not like buying a few pigeon cages in the later generations. Now when buying a house, you buy a big house with various yards inside.

As long as Li Ke builds a house in a residential area, he may be able to recover the construction cost just by selling the house.

As for the business district, it goes without saying.

Whether it is selling inland goods or selling goods from outside, you need to see the goods before talking.

It is impossible to say that it can be directly transported from the Jianggang Wharf to the Seaport Wharf. It is still necessary to open shops in the commercial area of ​​Shanghai City.

Then if you are interested in a certain product, you can start a detailed discussion, and only after signing a contract can you start shipping.

The facade of a store can be bought or rented, but whether it is bought or rented, it is a lot of money.

Moreover, business can be taxed, which is also a huge wealth.

Of course, compared with these, tariffs are the real big deal!

Tariffs are also the main source of income for Shanghai City!

PS: Fourth more! .

Chapter 329 Sea Supremacy!Send people out to sea to find a new continent!

Tariffs are divided into import duties and export duties.

Import tax, as the name suggests, means that if you bring back goods from overseas and sell them in Datang, you need to pay import duties.

Generally, the tax rate of import duties is relatively high, and the tax rate varies according to different types of goods.

In Li Ke's mind, the tax rate for import tariffs is even higher than modern import tariffs.

Because the situation in this era is different from modern times.

In this era, Datang is undoubtedly the world's most powerful country, whether it is population or productivity, material abundance, and the diversity of commodities, etc.

They are absolute world firsts!

In this world, there is no country whose productivity can compare with that of Datang!

Not to mention the comparison, there is no country that is connected to the nearest country!

It can be said that Datang's demand for overseas materials is actually not very great.

Ordinary things can't be seen by the people of Tang Dynasty at all, so naturally there won't be any market.

Those that have a market are basically some specialties of various countries, or precious items.

And the productivity of many countries is very poor. Cloth, which is very cheap and unlimited in Datang, is more precious than gold in many countries.

Therefore, after the merchants of Datang brought out various commodities, they could exchange cheap commodities for local specialties and precious items.

Bring it back to Datang in this way, and once it changes hands, it will be a huge profit.

Naturally, it is impossible to exchange only one item for a trip, and bring back a whole boat of special products and precious items. One can imagine how exaggerated profits there will be.

Therefore, import duties are very important at this time.

For example, in this case, there is absolutely no problem in imposing a 20% import tariff.

Even with a 20% import tariff, those businessmen can still make huge profits.

A 20% import tariff is imposed on a ship. Once more ships come back from the sea, the amount of tariffs received every day is a considerable figure.

If we look at it from a long-term point of view, the number of import tariffs will be a huge amount for the whole year. twenty one

This is also one of the reasons why Li Ke dared to bet with Wei Zheng that the fiscal revenue of Shanghai City alone would reach 8 yuan within five years.

In addition to import tariffs, export tariffs are also a big head.

In modern times, very few countries charge export duties.

Because the modern economy is a globalized economy, the collection of export tariffs on domestic enterprises and commodities will undoubtedly increase the selling price after export.

After the price increases, it will naturally reduce the competitiveness of the product.

After all, yours is more expensive for the same product, so why wouldn't I buy someone else's?

Therefore, basically no export tax will be charged.

But it is still the same as before, the situation is different now and later generations.

Now in the whole world, there is absolutely nothing that can compete with Datang's products!

In other words, there is not even a single competitor in the whole world. As long as Datang's products are sold, they will definitely be snapped up like crazy.

It doesn't matter if you are expensive or not?

Perhaps businessmen and people in other countries will indeed find it expensive, but they have no other products to choose from, so they can only choose to buy products from Datang!

After all, these commodities can only be produced by Datang, and the quality and quantity are sufficient.

In the absence of any competition, there would be no problem even if export taxes were levied on Datang's products.

If it is more expensive, it will be more expensive. Anyway, it is the money of businessmen and people from overseas countries.

And even if the price is expensive, these products are still selling well, and it doesn't matter.

In the current situation, commodity export is the mainstream, so even if the tax rate of export tariffs is lower than that of import tariffs, the total amount may be even higher!

The combined revenue from import and export tariffs can definitely account for more than half of Shanghai City's fiscal revenue!

"I'm looking forward to this day."

Li Ke smiled, and a look of anticipation flashed across his eyes.

Immediately, he took another look at the construction site.

He found that many slaves were working with numb eyes, and their foreheads were branded with the mark of slaves.

These people are naturally the soldiers captured from the Goguryeo and Baekje battlefields, and they are all contributing to the construction of Shanghai City at this time, doing their part.

At this time, some slaves also noticed Li Ke, and a deep look of fear suddenly appeared in the originally numb eyes!

After they were captured, they all met Li Ke.

At that time, they were full of confidence, but under the attack of artillery and muskets, their courage was frightened, and their souls were almost lost.

Since then, Li Ke has become a nightmare in their hearts.

When I sleep and dream at night, I often dream of Li Ke, and then wake up from my sleep.

It is mainly the artillery and muskets made by Li Ke, which have caused a great psychological shadow on them!

Originally, they were extremely exhausted physically and mentally through a lot of physical labor during this period, and then they were able to sleep well at night.

I no longer have those dreams about the battlefield at night, and Li Ke, the big devil, is no longer in the dream.

However, after seeing Li Ke on the construction site today, it aroused those nightmares in their hearts that they didn't want to recall.

Thinking of this, their hearts were filled with fear and pain.

Li Ke glanced at these people and skipped them directly.

It's just that the group of people following Li Ke are all officials in charge of building Shanghai City.

After seeing these slaves seeing Li Ke, they showed fear on their faces, and their bodies were trembling slightly, so they couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

This is the first time these slaves have seen such a situation.

And they noticed that this happened after Li Ke came.

It seemed that he was very afraid of Li Ke, and trembled with fright.

"What did His Highness King Qin do on the Goguryeo battlefield?"

The group couldn't help but glance at Li Ke in awe.

Obviously, these people were recalled by Li Ke before.

Next, Li Ke checked the place where the slaves lived and lived.

"Although they are slaves, the hygienic conditions must be guaranteed."

Li Ke explained to them in a solemn tone.

All kinds of diseases don't matter whether you are a slave or a commoner in the Tang Dynasty, once they occur, they will be transmitted indiscriminately.

There are now 4 people on the construction site in Shanghai City. If there is any disease, it will really be a big deal.

"Also, don't be too harsh on what you eat and drink. Horses have to eat grass to run."

Li Ke then explained another sentence.

If Xiang Cheng Yaojin and the others use slaves like that, the 2 slaves will probably lose a lot in a short time.

At that time, the progress of the project will be slowed down, and the interests of him and the entire Datang will be lost.

Squeeze belongs to squeeze, but what should be guaranteed should be guaranteed as much as possible.

Although it will not reach the level of the 2 working people, at least it can be slightly improved on the existing basis.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A group of people behind him immediately nodded respectfully.

After inspecting Shanghai City, Li Ke found that everything was proceeding according to his plan, and nodded in satisfaction.

At noon, I had a simple lunch in the canteen on the construction site.

"Go to Yangzhou Shipyard."

Li Ke set off directly and took a boat to Yangzhou Shipyard.

This is the route he has planned, from the seaport wharf in Shanghai City directly to Yangzhou Shipyard.

Yangzhou Shipyard is not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Zheng Tiancheng saw Li Ke coming, and immediately saluted Li Ke respectfully.
