close the door.

Clear the market.

Li Shimin summoned a large group of people from the Young Administration and the Ministry of Revenue to start counting the money, and sent a lot of eunuchs and officials to supervise it. Li Shimin was even so excited that he was reluctant to leave and sat there and watched the people order money.

The gold coins are dotted one by one, and the amount is enough first.

Each hundred are weighed.

There are 20,000 gold coins and 80,000 silver coins, but the number is not large.

However, the number of copper coins is the largest, 20,000 guan, which is a total of 20 million. There is no way to do it one by one, and it can only be weighed in a string. Fortunately, these coins are stringed with ropes, first dots, and then weigh ten strings.

Six hundred thousand coins, Li Shimin's face was flushed with excitement.

The real 600,000 guan of money is placed in front of you, not the number on paper, but the real money.

"The gold coins were minted really well." Officials from the Shaofu Supervisory Bureau praised that after the Li family dedicated the coin minting technology to the court, the court was already minting copper coins, including gold and silver coins. But now it seems that these gold and silver coins are more exquisite than those minted by the court.

"How is the quality of gold coins?"

"Ninety percent gold." An old craftsman from the Shaofu Supervisor replied.

It is difficult to have enough gold, but when minting gold coins, if it is pure gold, it will be very soft and not easy to use. Therefore, the true color of gold coins should be mixed with harder copper to make the gold coins harder. At the same time, mint gold coins with copper, and then mark the denomination of the gold coins with sufficient gold, which will make the coins profitable.

The quality is 90%, which means that there is nearly 10% of the coin profit. Even if the cost of minting is excluded, the profit here is still very high.

Twenty thousand gold coins are worth 160,000 guan copper coins, each one is at least half a profit, which means that just these 20,000 gold coins, Li Ji Money House minted coins and then circulated them, and they made 8,000 guan.

Shaofujian also cast gold coins, so Li Shimin certainly knew the profits therein.

He couldn't help but breathe, eight thousand guan, and easily earned eight thousand guan.

However, silver coins make more money, silver coins are mixed with copper like gold coins, silver nine copper one. Therefore, basically, minting silver coins is about half a century of profit as minting gold coins.

Crushing a gold coin can earn 400 coins. Crushing a silver coin can earn 250 coins.

However, this batch of silver coins was more numerous, with 80,000 pieces, and Li Ji made 20,000 stags of silver coins.

Thinking of the 80,000 silver coins minted by Li Ji Money House, who earned 28,000 guan just by minting a coin, Li Shimin felt a little distressed. He shouldn't have left the power to mint gold and silver coins so generously to the Li family.

Fortunately, the 20,000 guan of copper coins in the money warehouse are basically Kaiyuan Tongbao, and there is no private minting, and there is no new coin minting method.

This is pretty good, the Li family did not cast copper coins.

Otherwise, it would be amazing.

After all, there is less gold and silver, and coins are limited. But copper coins are different. If the Li family recycles the old coins on the market and then mints them into new coins, it will be endless, which means that they are stealing his money all the time.

The amount of gold coins is correct and the weight is correct.

Silver coins are also right.

In the end, silk and copper are both right.

Six hundred thousand coins, indeed, not much or less.

The money has been cleared, and the handover procedures have been completed.

Li Shimin was about to leave with the money, but the old shopkeeper stopped him in front.

"Dear officials, there is still a procedure that has not been completed."

“What procedures?”

"These 600,000 trump cards were cashed from Shuofang, so we have to collect the exchange fee."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, "Do you have to charge a handling fee?"

"See what this Shang Guan said, if you escort 600,000 guan from Shuofang to the capital, it will be nearly two thousand miles away. How many people will have to be escorted with so much money? How much time will it take? The cost of escort is not small, right? Now you just withdraw money from my Liji Money House. This money is actually our money to save our own money, and we have paid you in advance."

Li Shimin thought about it and made the same sense.

The escort of 600,000 jin from Shuofang to Beijing is a long time, and the escort is also costly.

“How much is the handling fee?”

"Not much, we only charge a one-percent handling fee."

"One percent, hiss, that's six thousand guan. Just in this moment, I'll collect another six thousand guan?" Li Shimin almost jumped up.

This is simply a robbery of money.

Li Ji made gold and silver coins, which was equivalent to earning 28,000 guan. Now he had to collect 6,000 guan. This is really a robbery, which is faster than robbing money.

I won’t talk about the benefits of minting coins. Anyway, Li Shimin did not lose anyway. The gold and silver coins were still planned at the face value, and he had a lot of money. But the handling fee was 6,000 guan, but it was actually deducted from his 600,000 miles.

After deducting, there are still 594,000 guan left.

Chai Shao sneered, "Why didn't Li Chao send someone to escort taxes directly into Beijing? Does escort taxes into Beijing require 6,000 guan? I think Li Chao deliberately engages in exchange because Li Ji's money house is his property. This is taking the opportunity to damage public fat and is embezzlement!"

Li Shimin felt sorry for himself for a while.

He said slowly, "Forget it, it is really not easy for this money to go from Shuofang to Beijing so quickly. It is also necessary for Li Ji Money House to collect some handling fees."

But I still feel sorry for speaking like this.

Li Shimin turned to ask the officials around him, "Did Li Ji Money House pay taxes to the court?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, there are some, Li Ji took the initiative to file taxes and pay taxes to the court. This was done by Li Pingzhang when he was in Jing Guangyi."

"Oh, Li Ji also took the initiative to pay taxes to the court? Then how much did they pay?"

"Well, it's the tax of thirty-one."

"Thirty taxes per one? What's the point?" Li Shimin was a little surprised and curious, and even took the initiative to file taxes. The Tang Dynasty had very few taxes on merchants, and generally taxes were carried out and taxes were occupied. When passing some checkpoints, some tariffs were charged.

However, it is not high for those who are taxed or those who are traded.

There is no thirty-one tax for housing tax, and what is the basis for this thirty-one tax?

"They file taxes based on one-thirty of their operating income."

Li Shimin still understands the business income. It’s like a shop selling buns for one penny, and a bun is sold for one penny in the store, and a thousand buns a day is sold. If there is no other business in this store, its business income should be one thousand penny. If you file a tax of one-thirty of this business income, then the tax that the store should pay is more than 33 cents.

If you make one by selling four buns in this store, the daily operating profit in the store is 250 cents. If you deduct 33 cents of taxes, you will also make another 227 cents.

Li Shimin is now very curious about how much tax this Li Ji Money House pays.

“How much do they pay for taxes?”

Moreover, how does this money house calculate its operating income? For example, do you only remember that the transaction fee of 6,000 guan they charged, or do you want to count the coins as income?

"Last month was more than 3,000 straits."

More than 3,000 guan, Li Shimin thoughtfully calculated that 30 taxes were one. Wouldn't it mean that their revenue last month was at least about 100,000 guan? How much profit was the one with a revenue of 100,000 guan?

This is not easy to calculate, the operating interest rate is generally the secret of the merchant.

But Li Shimin probably has at least 20% or 30%. If this is the case, wouldn’t he have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in that month?

But maybe the profit is higher. After all, just like the order just now, I made 6,000 guan. Li Shimin felt that their cost would never be as much as 4,000 guan.

Thinking about it this way, Li Shimin felt unbalanced again.

A money house makes so much money.

"Pay the money!"

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue stood aside and waited for a long time, and finally waited for Li Shimin's reply.

Six thousand guan was left, and Li Shimin took his men to take out gold, silver and silk money worth 594,000 guan.

As soon as he opened the money house, Li Shimin couldn't help but summon officials from the Ministry of Revenue and Shaofu to inquire.

"You said that the court also set up a money shop, how about it?"

It is too profitable to run a money shop, and Li Shimin thinks that the court should make this money too.

"Your Majesty, this is competing for profit with the people." Before the officials of the Ministry of Revenue finished speaking, Li Shimin had already glared at him with murderous intent. What does it mean to compete for profit with the people? The court only allowed himself to operate the money house, and the original money house could be managed as the ones.

The officials of the Shaofu were very good at judging the emperor's mood. In fact, he was also shocked by the money shop's ability to grab money. The money shop made nearly 30,000 guan. There was also a exchange, and another 6,000 yuan was made.

Grab money.

It is better to rob others than to rob others.

"Your Majesty, I think it is a good thing to run a money house. This matter can be left to the Shaofu Supervisor to set up a money house branch in major cities around the world to operate deposit and loan business, and even exchange business. It can also attract depositors from the money house to deposit money, and take those copper coins to the mint to recast. For each copper coins, we can make a lot of profit. If we can attract the people to exchange the gold and silver in their hands at the mint, we will send the gold and silver to the mint to mint and mint to mint and mint to mint and mint, at least half a profit will be. The more you mint, the more profit the court will earn."

Li Shimin nodded, Yes, in the past, he lost money in minting copper coins, but he still couldn't cast much in a year. Now with the new coin minting technology, not only can you cast more quickly, but the more you cast, the more you make, the more you make.

As for competing with the people for profit, Li Shimin felt that he could ignore it.

Li Chao can open a money shop and make a lot of money. Why can't he be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty open? Why can't the court of the Tang Dynasty open?

Since the Ministry of Revenue officials say that they are competing for profit with the people, let Shaofujian be responsible for opening this money house.

As for the cost of starting up, I only use these 600,000 guan, no, 594,000 guan.

When Li Shimin thought of the 6,000 guan fee, he felt a little painful. But then he thought of the 594,000 guan that Li Chao earned him in just half a month, and Li Shimin could not hate Li Chao.

This Li Chao is really a love and hateful thing.

"When the money house is built, the salary of officials in the capital will be directly distributed by the money house, so that the officials can go to the money house and collect the money." Li Shimin was a little impatient and even thought of a way to win customers for his own money house.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty mainly paid tribute to rice, but also paid salary and a lot of subsidy money. Li Shimin planned not to pay the money directly in the future, but instead deposited it into the money house and distributed it on behalf of the money house.

"The name of the money house is called Datang Money House."

"This name is good, it sounds worth relying on, and you can rely on it." The Shaofu official quickly flattered Li Chao.

Li Shimin nodded while stroking his short beard, "By the way, since Li Ji Money House has paid one-thirty of its revenue to pay taxes, then Datang Money House has to pay the same tax, which is also one-thirty of its revenue. Remember, you must not evade taxes."

The officials of the Shaofu were stunned.

Do you have to pay taxes on your own money house?

But looking at the emperor's solemn appearance, it seems that it is not a joke!
