Chapter 210
Thundered!
Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky.
It should be on the faces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's father and son.
At this moment, their faces were pale and sweaty.
It's just because what Zhu Biao said just now was too shocking.
"Boss, make it clear, what the hell is going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been calm.
This moment.
Finally, I can't calm down anymore.
The Ming Empire was founded by him, and it is his lifeblood, and he can't listen to others saying that the Ming Dynasty is going to finish playing.
If there is a way.
Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to pay whatever it takes to save the empire.
Zhu Di's eyes also widened.
Although he has no chance of becoming emperor.
But it is also the blood of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
His Royal Highness the dignified King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
How could he bear to watch the Ming Dynasty sink like this.
"Dad, fourth brother. "
Zhu Biao's face was unusually serious.
"I'll give you an example. "
"For example, a farmer in our Ming Dynasty has a harvest of about 200 catties of grain in a year. "
"And the standard of taxation in our yamen, according to thirty percent, should be about seven catties of grain. "
"But in fact, the tax collection standard of our yamen, "053", is much higher than 30%. "
"Because the local officials will try to get an extra part of the food rations of the common people. "
That is to say, with an income of 200 catties of grain a year, a farmer only has 100 catties of food. "
And the farmer may have to feed a family of three, or more. "
This also leads to the fact that the farmer does not save much money throughout the year, and any change in the family will be a catastrophe. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.
Zhu Biao's words are not bad.
According to the tax collection standard of the Ming Dynasty.
That's pretty much what the farmer was taxed.
And.
The local yamen officials made some small moves, and even he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was helpless.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was a big place.
There are countless local officials.
It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill people because they have made a small move.
Even if he has the ability to defy the sky.
It's just one person.
It can't supervise the officials in all parts of the entire Ming Empire.
There's always going to be something that goes wrong.
These are all within the scope of Zhu Yuanzhang's acceptance.
He can't kill all the officials, then the Ming Dynasty may be in chaos.
This is where Zhu Yuanzhang is shrewd.
The world said that he was a murderer.
But the people he killed were basically the big people in the capital, and they were within his absolute control.
As for the local officials, they turned a blind eye.
Just don't go too far.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know.
Therefore.
A farmer's real harvest in a year just calculated by Zhu Biao is indeed not faulty.
"Okay, then let's calculate the tax standard for a businessman for a year. "
"According to our current tax in the Ming Dynasty, a businessman will pay a maximum of 10% of the tax a year. "
"For example, a merchant can earn twenty taels of silver a year, and his taxes are only two taels of silver. "
"According to the market value, twenty taels of silver can buy five or six hundred catties of grain. "
That is to say. "
"A merchant's income in one year is comparable to a farmer's harvest in two or even three years!"
"If farmers don't know about this kind of tax standard, they may still be able to fool the past. "
"But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world?"
"In the long run, the contradiction between farmers and industry and commerce will become bigger and bigger, and it will definitely affect the rule of our Ming Dynasty. "
Hear here.
Zhu Di was anxious all of a sudden.
"So what are you waiting for?"
"I've got to find a way to change it. "
He also saw an inconsistency in the tax standards between the two.
It's not fair.
"Huh!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"That's easy. "
"If there are no these businessmen, how can our economy be able to get up?"
"The reason why we set such a low tax standard for them is to encourage them to do business, so that they can make Daming prosperous as soon as possible. "
"Our hard work, you know a fart!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and looked at Zhu Di next to him.
“......"
Zhu Di was also very embarrassed.
"If taxes are not collected uniformly, the contradictions between the common people will definitely become bigger and bigger. "
"But if taxes are collected uniformly, the newly established Ming Dynasty will not be able to prosper quickly. "
"It's a real problem. "
Zhu Yuanzhang also had a headache.
It's an unsolvable puzzle.
If he had a way, wouldn't he have used it a long time ago?
Need to spend so much time here?
Then.
Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled.
"Don't want to"
"There is a way!
Hear this.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at him at the same time.
"Boss, don't sell pipes, hurry up and talk about it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask.
"Dad, the tax standard of popular science in the video just now has already told us the answer. "
"To sum it up, it's nothing more than eight words!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
"More is more, less is less!"
Zhu Biao replied without hesitation.
Hiss!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up instantly.
A keen political sense told him that this was a way to change the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty!
"Big brother, do you mean to make our Ming Dynasty's tax collection standard the same as that of later generations, according to the percentage of the minimum tax?"
Zhu Di is also quite smart.
immediately understood what Zhu Biao meant.
"Not bad!"
"We've fallen into a huge misunderstanding!"
"That's to pay too much attention to the difference between Shinong and industry!"
"In fact, what Shinong and industrialist, to put it bluntly, are all living people, all ordinary people. "
"As long as we follow this line of thinking, the problem can be solved. "
"We don't care whether it's a farmer or a businessman, we just need to see what they get in a year. "
"Those who have a lot of harvest pay more taxes, those who have a small harvest pay less, and those who have no income do not pay taxes. "[]
"Such a tax structure can easily calm the anger of the majority of people. "
"Because in this world, there will always be a few people who make money, and the poor are the majority. "
"Even if the local rich pay most of the tax revenue, it will be a drop in the bucket for them, and it will not have any effect. "
"Such people often spare their lives, and they can't fight with us for this money. "
"On the contrary, the poor people, we don't need to charge much tax to them, so that the people will be grateful to our court and play a role in stabilizing the people's hearts....."
"In the long run, our Daming will form a positive cycle and develop in a better direction. "
Zhu Biao's words were sprinkled.
Zhu Yuanzhang applauded.
"Smack!"
"Okay!"
"Great!"
"What a great idea!"
"Boss, we didn't mistake you, you are the most perfect successor of our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was overwhelmed with excitement.
Maybe after listening to the tax science on the canopy, he can also think of such a way after tasting it carefully.
But.
I want to be the same as Zhu Biao.
The summary is so detailed, it is so perfect, and even in such a short period of time, it can be combined with the tax policy of the future market, and the tax policy of Daming has also been improved.
That's what a good monarch does.
Datang.
Zhenguan years.
"More is more, less is less ......"
Li Shimin kept chewing on the sentence that the eldest grandson Wuji gave him an analysis.
Gradually.
His heart was beating faster and faster.
Getting closer.
It was as if the dim road ahead was instantly bright.
"Shhh
"This kind of tax policy may be suitable for us Datang!"
"Good!"
"In this case, from today onwards, I, Datang, will also follow the example of future generations and adopt the same tax method!"
Li Shimin immediately made a decision.
On the main hall.
Many officials all had bitter faces, like dead fathers.
Without exception, all of them are from a large family.
This is also understandable.
The control of all the resources of Datang is almost all in the hands of the family.
Every year, they get the most money in the whole of Datang.
If only according to such a tax policy.
These big heads, they also pay the most taxes.
Of course they weren't happy.
However, under Li Shimin's coercion, these officials did not dare to say a word.
"Your Majesty Shengming, Wei Zheng's five bodies are on the ground!"
Wei Zheng rarely took the initiative to come out, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
5.7 The entire basilica.
The ministers and officials were all stunned.
They had never seen Wei Zheng bow to Li Shimin like he did now.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, Wei Zheng, you suddenly gave me such a big gift, I really didn't feel comfortable." "
Wei Zheng didn't care at all, and said with a calm face: "Your Majesty has implemented benevolent governance and made measures to benefit the people, and Weichen naturally admires such courage." "
Li Shimin couldn't close his mouth happily.
If you can talk, talk more!
This old man Wei has never said a good word on weekdays.
Now I can't listen to him say such things.
It's quite comfortable.
......
Meanwhile.
Emperors, generals, and those in power of various dynasties and generations have also carefully analyzed the pros and cons of adopting tax policies for later generations, and have begun to take action.
Ying Zheng: "Li Si, hurry up and draft a charter, and I, Daqin, will also give the people a fair treatment." "
Liu Che: "Great! Finally found a way to make money, I have long seen that those rich businessmen are not pleasing to the eye, and now I finally have a famous person to get their wool." "
Wu Zetian: "Under the whole world, it is all the king's land. But the common people are actually too miserable, and they can't make a few dollars all year round, and it is indeed against the will of God to tax them. "。
