356 For My Use
If Yi Feng wants to forcibly levy the merchants this time, they have no choice. But Yi Feng doesn't want this. His plan is that merchants can compete for the qualifications of these three sponsors. Sponsors of each level have a prescribed quota and spend their own standard money. Those who meet the requirements become sponsors and get the corresponding title.
The most important thing is that these titles are not just titles, they can also enjoy many corresponding benefits. One is the right to advertise. Sponsor military drug plans can get advertising opportunities, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after sponsoring the military, the title they get will have many practical benefits. For example, in the future, their shops and caravans can be marked as marks such as the Great Sui military drug partners, sponsors, suppliers, etc., and can also enjoy priority in obtaining military drug orders under the same conditions. If sponsors violate the law, they must be interrogated by the state-level government and eventually reported to the central court for verification. This article is equivalent to improving their social status and preparing a number in the court, so there is no need to worry about being extorted by any monster or monster in the future.
After Yi Feng explained this, the Yan Wenzhu brothers present immediately understood the value of this sponsor title.
The sponsor's products can be marked as a mark like a military drug partner in the Sui Dynasty. That is an excellent advertisement. It is simply a golden sign, not to mention that there is a priority purchase right for military drugs under the same conditions. These two items alone have obvious benefits to the merchant's business. Not to mention, after becoming a sponsor, they will be on the list of attention of the court and will not be subject to the random oppression of local officials and clans.
This is indeed a very favorable benefit, and for the court, the things given to sponsors are simply cheap things, and there is no need to spend a penny.
This is a truly mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, merchants have been suppressing and suppressing them. In fact, in Yi Feng's view, although it is necessary to emphasize agriculture, there is no need to suppress business. The benefits of merchants to the country are self-evident, as long as they can be managed well, the court can get a lot of benefits from merchants. Unfortunately, the Sui Dynasty was completely like a free-range business. It was basically a state of no management. In this era, there was no commercial tax. There was no tariff or business tax, almost all kinds of familiar to later generations.
There was no tax in this era. Merchants generally only paid market tax, a tax that was paid when opening shops in the city market, with a very low tax rate. It can be said that in the Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Sui Dynasty, there were also city taxes, customs taxes, commercial taxes, etc. After the Sui Dynasty, there were many taxes. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were always 20 taxes. In addition, there were one-tenth of bamboo, wood, salt taxes, tea taxes, mining taxes, house taxes, and all transactions of money and goods, etc. In the Song Dynasty, various tax items were even more complicated and taxes were collected.
It can be said that the merchants of the Great Sui Dynasty were actually really happy. In fact, in Yi Feng's opinion, the imperial court suppressed the business while suppressing the business, but on the other hand, it was so stupid. He offended the merchants, but in fact he did not get any benefits.
If he thought it was not necessary to exploit merchants, but he could not just leave it alone. The necessary taxes were still collected. The merchants made a lot of money, but the court did not collect his taxes, but they just collected those poor and poor people who faced the loess all day long. This was completely inconsistent with the laws of development. Of course, although he is the grandson now, it is not his turn to speak for such a great court policy. Moreover, he also knew that many of the great merchants today actually rely on the nobles, honors and relatives, and rashly offend them, that is, offend the powerful and powerful people. Therefore, this time Yi Feng took out a sponsor plan, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and everyone benefits each other, and each gets what they gain.
"In particular, the higher the sponsor level, the more sponsorship fees they pay, and the more rights they can enjoy."
After Yi Feng said this, Wen Yan and his brothers nodded frequently. They were not those nerds who were ignorant of ordinary things, but were all geniuses with extremely high IQs. When they heard this, they immediately praised the plan. "How much does the sponsorship fee charge?"
"I plan to distinguish the sponsorship fee of the highest-level partners by sponsorship fee. The sponsorship fee is 10,000 yuan, the sponsorship fee is 3,000 yuan, and the sponsorship fee is 1,000 yuan."
"What is the specific difference between them?" Wen Yanbo immediately caught a question.
"The more sponsorship fees, the higher the sponsor level they get, and the more benefits they can enjoy. As for the specifics, it still needs to be improved." Anyway, it is a plan to cheat money. If you give more money, of course you can enjoy the benefits of cooperation in the first grade. Basically, it is some policy discounts, status protection, etc., and there is no need to let the court pay a penny. As for this hierarchy system, it is just to reflect the differences.
Yan Silu immediately thought that this sponsor plan was not only suitable for this medical plan, but actually promoted it, it could be suitable for many other court procurements. Give merchants from all walks of life a title that was favorable but not expensive, and the court could get a large sponsorship fee. He even thought that at that time, the military partner could be upgraded to official partner of the Sui Dynasty, or even the royal supplier of the Sui Dynasty. With such a title, wouldn’t it be a golden sign for merchants. With this sign, merchants would definitely be a big boom, and the court could easily collect large sponsorship fees. When he thought of this, Yan Silu could not sit still. He couldn’t help but take out a notebook with the lack of money from his arms, and then took out a pencil that was also unlucky. He immediately wrote down these ideas without anyone else.
Yi Feng saw it at a glance, but he did not stop it. In fact, if he selected several advantageous merchants in each industry and gave them titles such as designated suppliers, official partners or even royal suppliers, it would be perfectly fine. Even if the merchants had to pay a considerable fee to the court, such sponsorship fees could completely recover the investment. However, he did not intend to submit this idea to the emperor himself. He knew that the emperor did not like merchants, nor did he like this sponsorship program with a strong commercial flavor.
Of course, there are also some worries. He is also worried that such a good plan will eventually be colluded by officials and businessmen, and finally a group of monopoly interest groups for official and businessmen. Even if it is to be done, it is not yet now. With Yang Jian, an emperor who hates businessmen, such a plan is destined to be difficult to implement even if the prospects are tempting. There is no need to think so far now. I will be the first to eat this crab first. If the plan results are very good, maybe the emperor will make some changes.
Originally, Yi Feng just made a rough approximation of this sponsor system. Now that he has these excellent celebrities and talents, he no longer needs to do it himself. He handed this matter directly to the six brothers Yan Wen, which was the first task they had given them a new job.
Later that day, the eight princesses also came to visit Yi Feng. These were all talented men and scholars like Yan Wen brothers, but they were younger than them and did not have much experience as an official. At this time, they were a little restrained. When Yi Feng first met them, he was a little restrained. After chatting with them casually for a while, he was very satisfied with them, especially Li Baiyao, who had been a member of the Ministry of Rites, and was also a talent who had been praised by Yang Jian, Yang Su Niu Hong and other people. However, except for Li Baiyao, the others were not simple. Feng Deyi was originally Yang Su's aide, and was highly valued by Yang Su. He even married his niece to Feng Deyi, and Chen Shuda was Chen Shubao's younger brother and Chen Wu's uncle. Xiao Yu was the younger brother of the Princess Xiao and Xiao Sumei's uncle.
Kong Yingda was a descendant of Confucius, Yu Shinan was the younger brother of Yu Shiji, the Minister of Inner History. Wang Gui was the nephew of Wang Jun, the Consul General of the Han Dynasty, and Du Yan was Wang Tong's student. In short, these people were all heroes and talented men in their prime, but they were all not simple. Yi Feng did not dare to trust them immediately, so he simply asked these eight servants to follow the bachelor Wen Yanliu to be responsible for assisting him in presiding over the medical plan and doing some copywriting work.
The sponsor plan was soon spread, and the former King Zhao Befu, which was changed to Taisun Mansion, became even more lively. For a while, it was crowded with merchants. The first ones came were merchants from the Gyeonggi area, coming with gifts from big and small cars.
Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin and other banner guards received Yi Feng's order and were not polite to these people. They said directly that Taisun had something to say, and would not stop them outside the door without seeing the guests.
The merchants left helplessly, but soon another group of people came to ask for a meeting with gifts. This time, most of the people who came from the wealthy families of the capital were from the capital. Yi Feng could no longer stop them directly outside the door.
Yi Feng had to meet these people one by one. In fact, the purpose of these people is very simple. Although each family is a wealthy family, the wealthy family also does business, and they often do a lot of business. These people come here to take a chance in this procurement, or to get the title of a military partner. Although they are also a wealthy family member, after all, they still have many concerns when doing business. If they can really get a cooperative title, it will be much more convenient to start a business in the future. Of course, many people actually took the opportunity to come and visit, strengthen their relationships, and set up some chips in advance. Others wanted to cooperate with Yi Feng. After all, Huaihuang's business is very prosperous now, with many profitable transactions, and no one doesn't want to get a share of the pie. (To be continued)
