"Four taxes and one!"

After the news of the heavy tax payment of Mojia Fine Wine came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the business community of Chang'an City.

Four taxes and one This is an unprecedented heavy tax since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even in history, the reigns of the faint monarchs have never heard of such heavy taxes.

The news that the Mo family earned 300,000 yuan a day has not disappeared in Chang'an City, and the news that the Mo family has paid heavy taxes has pushed Mojia Village to the forefront.

"300,000 guan, let me calculate how much tax the Mo family will have to pay this time?"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

Countless people were dumbfounded, and their hearts kept echoing this astonishing number.

When the Mo family paid nearly 10,000 yuan in taxes before, everyone was already stunned, and it didn't take long for Mojia Village to break out such a high amount of taxes.

"Oh my God! With such a heavy tax, His Majesty doesn't like the Mo family very much, how can he be so ruthless. Someone wondered.

"Mojia Village earns so much wealth, so it should pay more taxes." Since ancient times, people who hate the rich have never been extinct, and Mojia Village has made so much money, so naturally many people are not pleasing to the eye.

There were also many officials who cheered when they heard the news, thinking that it was their own performance that played a role, and His Majesty began to punish the Mo family severely.

"You don't know about that! This was not levied by His Majesty, but was asked to be handed over by the Mo family. ”

However, as the news spread, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Mo Jiazi took the initiative to ask? Is he stupid! Thirty taxes one, he only has to pay another 10,000 yuan, why should he pay more than 60,000 yuan. The person who heard the words suddenly said in pain, as if he was digging meat from his body, and his heart hurt when he thought about it.

"That's right, and the reason why the Mo family makes wine is not for His Majesty's grain price protection order." There are also people who support the Mo family who are dissatisfied.

It is no secret that the war between Mojia Village and the grain merchants has been raging in Chang'an City, and of course everyone knows the origin of the thousand sorrows.

"It is said that relieving thousands of sorrows and suffocating horses are the most food-consuming, and if large-scale brewing is made, it will definitely cause a food crisis in the Guanzhong area. As a result, the Mo family was voluntarily punished and bore a heavy tax of four taxes and one tax. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be silent for a while, and they couldn't help but silently recite a sentence of Mojia in their hearts, and they felt a lot of emotion.

However, the high taxes are not only bad but not beneficial, and directly hit the reputation of the Mojia wine, so that Xie Qianchou did not sell in Chang'an City, and spread to the entire Tang Dynasty at a rapid speed.

In the face of such a hot situation, the ten dealers did not hesitate at all, and happily handed over their respective deposits and advances in accordance with the previous agreement.

"Hahaha, Master Mo is really good! It didn't take long to make such a huge fortune. Dai Xuan said with his mouth closed, looking at Merton's eyes like a fortune boy.

As long as it is a tax collection, Dai Xuan is the most sensitive, and the dealers only go out on the front foot, and he has already arrived on the back foot.

"How dare you bother Lord Dai to come to the door again, and in a few days, the boy will personally send the tax to the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Merton said hurriedly.

Dai Xuan waved his hand and said loudly: "It's not hard, it's not hard at all." ”

Seventy-five thousand, not to mention letting him come to the door for the second time, even if he let him guard the door of Mofu every day, he is also willing.

"This time, Ben Shangshu has transferred all the elites of our Ministry of Civil Affairs to complete it in the shortest possible time, and Lord Mo is the God of Wealth with 300,000 yuan a day, so he can't delay a lot of time." Dai Xuan stretched out his hand, and suddenly a large number of accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs poured in, looking curiously at this new wealth myth in Chang'an City, and the leader was still the middle-aged account office last time.

"Master Dai laughed!" When Mo Dun heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, and now Chang'an City said that the Mo family earns 300,000 yuan a day, which is almost the same as the ridicule that later generations say that someone will earn hundreds of thousands of yuan per minute.

"Haha!" Dai Xuan laughed loudly.

"Yes, gentlemen." Merton bowed to the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. A large number of elites of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is probably the most primitive accountant!

"Lord Mo is so polite!" The middle-aged bookkeeper hurriedly said.

A group of account offices also hurriedly returned the salute, for the God of Wealth in front of them, they didn't dare to slack off at all, during this time, the Mo family was the most popular person in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Most of the major dealers paid gold and silver, rather than a large amount of copper coins, which made the dozens of money cars brought by Dai Xuan useless. Of course, it has also greatly reduced the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

When a room full of gold and silver was presented in front of the accounts, ordinary people must have their eyes shining, but fortunately, the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs often sorted out the treasury, and when they saw much more gold and silver than this, their faces were not moved at all, and they immediately began their work.

"Four taxes and one, this is the heaviest tax in the world that the old man knows, and the most surprising thing for the old man is that this heavy tax was paid by the old man on his own initiative, I don't know if the old man can solve the old man's doubts." Dai Xuan took a deep breath and asked the doubts in his heart.

Merton thought for a moment and said, "From a boy's point of view, the role of taxation is not just to collect taxes for the state to run for the country, on the contrary, it can play too many roles. ”

"I want to hear about it!" Dai Xuan is colorful.

"Take Mojia wine as an example, this wine is indeed too food-consuming, but it is indispensable, we can pay heavy taxes, increase the price in disguise, so that the number of people who buy wine will naturally decrease, so that the imperial court can not only get more taxes, but also achieve the purpose of reducing food consumption. This is one of the reasons why the kid took the initiative to pay heavy taxes. Even if the recipe of Mojia wine leaks in the future, and the heavy taxation is there, it will not cause a national food crisis. Merton explained.

"I see."

Dai Xuan was suddenly enlightened, as if he had an epiphany, and at the same time looked at Merton's eyes, and suddenly had a trace of appreciation.

Merton added: "For some industries that are good for the country, such as cattle, horses, farm tools, and waterwheels, we can reduce taxes, and even some things that the imperial court continues can be exempted from taxes, so that some people can be stimulated to increase investment in this area, and the purpose of the imperial court has been achieved." ”

"Control the negative side of the imperial court, and encourage and support industries that are beneficial to the imperial court."

Dai Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

"The Mohists call this macroeconomic control." Merton summed it up.

"And taxes can also equalize the rich and the poor............

…………………………

Dai Xuan was as happy as drinking sour plum soup on dog days, and Mo Jiazi's words directly opened a door for him, a door that greatly increased the rights of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Before that, the Ministry of Civil Affairs only collected taxes and then used those taxes, but it never imagined that the Ministry of Civil Affairs could do so much.

"Lord Qiyu Shangshu, the payment of 75,000 yuan in taxes by Mojia Village has been verified." Middle-aged account room report.

Dai Xuan nodded, seeing that the 75,000 guan was no longer excited before he came, he had harvested something more valuable than the 75,000 guan today.
