Should there be business tax?

That's a hard question to answer!

Emperor Chongzhen's ears immediately pricked up. Okay, the fox's tail is finally revealed, this is to be rampant!

"Collect!" King Heng nodded heavily, "It must be collected!" Now that the imperial court has exempted the land tax, if it is not good enough to collect commercial taxes and customs duties, how can it build a new army, cut down the Central Plains, and protect the name of the religion? If the imperial court really wants to accept this money, I'm afraid that no one in the world will agree! ”

Yes, yes, this King Heng's consciousness has improved very quickly!

Fat Fu Wang also said: "It should be collected!" When we thought about it before, we have found that not collecting business taxes and land taxes is one of the roots of the corruption of this dynasty! If there is a mistake, it can be corrected, so it must be collected! ”

Fu Wang's progress is also very fast!

"What King Fu said is that it must be collected! If there is no commercial tax, how can the Ming Dynasty be maintained? If the Ming Dynasty is gone, we princes will die without a place to be buried! ”

This is King Jin with tears in his eyes!

"That's right! We have died so many people, and our family property has been lost, isn't it because everyone evaded taxes together, so that the court has no money to recruit troops to fight? This maladministration must be changed! ”

King Qin also said conclusively, and now he is saddened by his tax evasion and evasion in his own year!

"If we don't change, we'll all die......"

King Zhou said with tears in his eyes. His grandfather is very powerful, known as "spending millions of dollars to do city defense", so Kaifeng Mansion carried Li Zicheng three times, and also beat Li Zicheng into a one-eyed dragon.

Then the prince who expressed his stance behind King Zhou also resolutely supported the collection of taxes!

Obviously, the thirty-three kings have all progressed!

Because they are all poor eggs now...... Although Zhu Cihong rewarded ten princes with 10,000 acres of land each, and 23 county kings with 5,000 acres of land each. But what is enough for this little field? The palace has the pomp of the palace!

Moreover, more than half of the palaces have a group of fallen kings and grandsons, and they all have to help! You have to find a way to arrange it...... If the court doesn't loot a little more, when will their hard days end?

Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded, the attitude of the princes was what he expected. Because he had already asked the fat man King Fu and King Heng to say hello - the matter of collecting business taxes is very beneficial to the clan of the old Zhu family! Because of the customs in various places, a part of the sect will be used.

Then the princes, it was Zhang Shize who represented the nobles who made a statement.

Needless to say, these nobles are also in favor of taxation. Most of their trading was in the north—the communication conditions were limited in those days, and it was impossible for the northern nobles to put a large amount of land and trade in the southeast, otherwise the slaves and servants below would not know how much they would have to hack, and they would certainly not make any money. So now they are basically "proletarians", and of course they have to collect taxes!

And the tax collection is also collected by the children of their family! There is no need to embezzle much, Zhu Cihong asked his subordinates to give a commission when they made money, even the anti-corruption family was given a 10%, and the military guards collected rent from 1 to 20% of the "management fee", and the commercial tax collection could definitely be commissioned.

It's good to charge him 100 million!

"Mr. Shoufu Wei, what do you think?" Zhu Cihong put the problem to Wei Zaode again.

"Chitose Lord, the minister also thinks that it should be ......" Wei Zaode thought about it, "At that time of Emperor Taizu Gao, there was no right to exempt talents, people, and even officials!" This is bad governance! Since it is a maladministration, it must be changed! ”

Yes! Want to take away the right of the scholar to be exempt from taxation?

Qian Qianyi and Hou Sui became nervous all of a sudden, the two of them were not only the leaders of Donglin, but also the big landowners, and their families were also engaged in business....... If you don't have the privilege of tax exemption, the loss will be great!

Zhu Cihong smiled and asked, "Mr. Qian, Mr. Hou, what do you think?" ”

"Chitose Lord, this matter is too much to do, and you still need to think twice!"

"Yes, now that the imperial court has just moved south, it is not stable in all aspects......"

Qian Qianyi and Hou Sui disagreed.

"Oh?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Do you think that if you announce strict commercial taxes and tariffs, how will the southeast be uneasy?" ”

"There are people who will resist taxes......"

"And smash the tax customs!"

Zhu Cihong smiled: "That's all? ”

These...... Not serious?

Qian Qianyi said: "In fact, the imperial court can't collect much, but the small officials below are corrupt and pervert the law, and I don't know how much they want to levy?" ”

"Hmm," Zhu Cihong nodded, "what Mr. Qian said is extremely ...... It is necessary to prevent problems before they occur, and a general tax department can be set up to collect commercial taxes. ”

General Department of Taxation? Qian Qian Yixin said: This is a hated oil and water yamen! I don't know who can take care of it, and who dares to take care of it? As a good student, I won't let those princes and nobles take care of it, right? This is not easy to do, it is nothing for the people below to make trouble and kill a eunuch, kill a prince...... That's rebellion! Then you can raid your house again!

Zhu Cihong looked at Hou Sui at this time: "Mr. Hou, you are the head of the household, you can talk about it." ”

"Chitose Lord," Hou Sui had cold sweat on his forehead, "the minister's household secretary is about to step down, and now he is thinking about military affairs." ”

"That's right," Zhu Cihong nodded, "You're going to be the head of the household...... The main palace has an idea, can you help me refer to it? ”

"Chitose, please speak."

Zhu Cihong said: "This palace wants to take how to collect commercial taxes and customs duties as the examination question of today's science and technology competition, what does Mr. Hou think?" ”

What? Do you want to take the collection of commercial taxes and customs duties as an exam question? Hou Sui pondered: Could it be that the one who writes an article to oppose it will be named Sun Shan?

Hou Sui smiled bitterly: "You won't let the person who writes an article to support the introduction of commercial taxes and customs duties become the tax collector of the General Taxation Department, right?" ”

"Hahaha," Zhu Cihong laughed, "Mr. Hou is really talented!" That's a good idea, and I'll consider it! ”

Hou Sui really couldn't cry or laugh, his son is going to participate in the big competition this year, and he is sure of high school, and he doesn't know if he will be sent to collect taxes?

"Chitose Lord," Chen Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, frowned, "The tax resistance during the Wanli period was very fierce, what if it broke out again?" When the time comes, the Tartars will attack outside, and the gentry will be chaotic inside, and Zuo Liangyu may also make a move......"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and again when he heard this, and said in his heart: Listen, this is a serious word!

"The ...... that can't be messed up" Zhu Cihong smiled, "And this palace is not afraid of chaos!" ”

What do you mean? Do you want to let the new army go on a killing spree?

Chen Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, secretly glanced at Wu Xiang, Cao Youyi, Huang Binqing, Zhu Chunjie and Wu Guoyong (now the commander of the military guard), they all looked very murderous!

Zhu Cihong saw that Chen Rui had nothing to say, so he smiled and said, "Since most of you are in favor of strict commercial taxes and tariffs, then this matter will be decided first." He looked back at Emperor Chongzhen, "Father, it seems that today's thinking meeting is still very fruitful." There should be more such meetings in the future...... Only by thinking about it can we better change it! ”
