And why should they share the poll tax of others!
They are so noble, do they have to pay the poll tax for those lowly people?
There is no such reason in the world.
And the most important thing is that the fundamental purpose of this tax policy is to benefit the people. The emperor mainly wants those who are exempt from tax to pay taxes.
After all, even if the poll tax is not included in the land tax, the people still need to pay it.
As for where the money comes from, it is still paid by the harvest of the fields.
Looking back at this policy, they not only have to pay the land tax, but also have to pay the poll tax to who knows how many people and who knows who.
So this is pure nonsense!
"I think you all know how much tax-free farmland the court has seized since the corruption investigation began.
You must have seen with your own eyes the fundamental problem of the decreasing taxation of our Great Wu.
Half of our Great Wu's land has become tax-free land. Land annexation is the root of the country's demise.
Don't say you don't know!"
"I could have ignored you before!
I could have also not taken back your land.
|= |
Even all my imperial estates have to pay taxes together with you.
So I don't want to hear anyone stop me!
Don't let me arrange the East Factory to check you one by one. "
"Similarly, don't think you really don't know how many people you have hidden and not reported to the government."
"Cao Shaoqin, after the implementation of this tax law, anyone who dares to block the new policy in the folks will not be punished."
When someone reacted and wanted to step out to stop it.
Li Chenghan, however, had a gloomy face and directly explained the matter.
After Li Chenghan said this, those who wanted to speak out against it were frightened and dared not speak again.
Knowing what they had done and unable to withstand the investigation, they should just accept it honestly.
After all, the emperor knew what they had done, and he also said that he would not care about the past. They were thankful that they could keep their wealth and family business.
If other interests are lost, then so be it.
Don’t you see that the rich and powerful of Beijing Wang’s generation, who could live with the country even if he was a parasite, were wiped out in an instant because of rebellion.
For those who have not lived with the country and have been supported by the country for generations, let’s forget about it.
Losing some acceptable interests is better than losing the family business accumulated for generations and decades and letting the whole family go to the guillotine with him.
The emperor today is not a mediocre person who can be bullied.
Isn’t this really daring to kill people!
Since the emperor ascended the throne, the number of corrupt officials and rebels killed, along with their families, is probably no less than 10,000 or 20,000.
Which of those who were killed was not powerful, wealthy, and prestigious?
Just abolishing corvée labor, plus officials, dignitariesThey pay taxes, which is really a strange thing that has never been heard of in the past thousands of years!
But they cannot deny that such a change is really beneficial to the country.
"Your Majesty, should the imperial merchants also increase the commercial tax by 25%, and should the officials also pay this income tax~?"
Li Shouzhong stood up and asked Li Chenghan curiously.
"Everyone must be taxed! However, income tax shall not be levied on the bitter cold land and the soldiers in the war, and resettlement fees and pensions shall also be exempted from taxation."
Li Chenghan nodded and then added.
For Li Chenghan's words, everyone present knew that the emperor really valued the army too much.
In the future, there will be countless people who will take the initiative to join the army, and the status of the soldiers will be improved and they will no longer be called soldiers in people's mouths.
In addition, the court of Dawu will be equal in civil and military affairs in the future, and civil officials will not be superior to military officials.
These peerless generals emerged and rose.
"Your Majesty, if court officials also need to pay income tax, I am afraid that many officials will have financial problems."
Minister of Personnel Qiu Rong stepped out and said to Li Chenghan in embarrassment.
Now not only do we have to pay land tax, but also population tax.
Now we have to let officials take salaries and refuse to pay taxes, which is really too much.
"In order to urge officials to be honest and upright, and to maintain their dignity, so that they can support their families without worrying about trivial matters at home, and enable officials to focus on politics.
I have specially introduced the system of silver for maintaining integrity.
Any official who reaches the third rank or above, regardless of whether he is a civil or military official, can receive 10,000 to 30,000 taels of silver for maintaining integrity every year according to his position.
The same is true for officials of the third rank, who receive 6,000 to 8,000 taels of silver every year.
In addition, officials of the fourth and fifth ranks receive 1,500 to 4,000 taels of silver, and so on, officials of the sixth and seventh ranks can receive 500 to 2,000 taels of silver for maintaining integrity.
Eighth and ninth ranks can receive 100 to 500 taels."
"The silver for maintaining integrity will be implemented after the new tax revenue is paid."
Li Chenghan nodded, and he was naturally aware of this problem.
In order to prevent the officials of Dawu from being too poor, and to continue to compensate them after depriving them of their privileges, so that they can't find any reason to neglect the implementation of the new policy, and to make them honest and upright.
Li Chenghan must also implement this maintenance silver.
But it's just implementation. You have to pay the taxes to me before I can use the money to support you.
Similarly, Li Chenghan made these decisions for nothing more than four words.
[Stimulate the economy! ]
The people's corvée service was changed to employment, so that the people have money.
National projects are outsourced to give businessmen more opportunities to make money. (To read the novel of Baoshuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In this way, the people are rich, and the businessmen are rich, so that they can drive the economy and put the economy into a virtuous circle.
This is the foundation for the country to be rich and the people to be strong, and the country and the people will not be short of money.
Similarly, Li Chenghan gave officialsThe silver for maintaining integrity and improving the treatment of the army are also partly due to this reason.
After all, only when money circulates can it make money.
How can the national economy be good if you only know how to collect money and bury it underground?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Listening to the silver for maintaining integrity system, the civil and military officials felt better and bowed to praise Li Chenghan.
Although this silver for maintaining integrity is not proportional to their future losses, it is still a lot!
But they felt much better.
However, some people think that Li Chenghan is not kind. He gave a sweet date after beating someone's face.
Although this sweet date is very sweet.
"Honglu Temple Minister Fake!"
Li Chenghan looked down at the reactions of the civil and military officials, smiled in his heart, and then called to Honglu Temple.
"I am here!"
Zhao Youde, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was also the envoy who went to Zuo Xian Wang's army to trick him last time, immediately stepped out and bowed to Li Chenghan and replied.
"I order you to go to Zuo Xian Wang's army!
Discuss the trade with Zuo Xian Wang.
Tell Zuo Xian Wang that our Great Wu is willing to conduct trade with Zuo Xian Wang's army every season a hundred miles outside the important town of Liaodong.
In the trade, our Great Wu will exchange tea, spices, cloth, fine wine, etc. for their cattle and sheep!".
