What does the thirty tax mean? Needless to say, this is the literal meaning, according to the proportion, it is a tax rate of 0.3 percent, if the future generations of enterprises are also taxed according to this tax rate, it is estimated that the bosses of all companies can laugh out of the snot bubbles, and the ten taxes are also very easy to understand, that is, ten percent, which is dozens of times higher than the thirty taxes, such a high tax rate naturally made Zeng Peixin jump.

But is this ten taxes really high? As far as Yang Feng knows, the enterprise income tax of Huaxia in later generations will be 25 percent, the income tax of small and low-profit enterprises will be 20 percent, and even the income tax of high-tech enterprises supported by the state will be 15 percent.

Judging from this tax rate, the tax rate set by Comrade Lao Zhu can be said to be so low that the officials who collect taxes are in tears. But there is an idiom called Delong Wangshu, people's greed is endless. Merchants are always thinking, why should the silver earned by Lao Tzu be handed over to you, and it is your fault to collect the money from Lao Tzu.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are doing everything possible to evade taxes, and the absurd thing is that many officials in the court also have this view, so it is strange that local taxes can be collected.

Hearing Yang Feng bluntly say that he felt that thirty taxes and one was too little, so the customs tax rate should be one out of ten, Zeng Peixin was almost stunned, Nima's, can you still be shameless?

He was so angry that he scolded Yang Feng angrily: "Master Hou, if you do such a violent thing today, aren't you afraid of being scolded by the people of the world?" ”

"Spit?" Yang Feng said curiously: "Why do people in the world want to scold Benhou, is it true that everyone in the world is going to go to sea to do business?" Besides, going to sea to do business is originally a huge profit, as far as Ben Hou knows, the price of our Ming things can be increased several times or even more than ten times after being shipped to Nanyang, Fusang and other places, and now the tax rate of one percent should not be charged? Now that the household department of the imperial court is almost unable to send out the officials' salaries, Zeng Yushi, as an official of the imperial court, should vigorously support this kind of behavior that can increase the income of the imperial court, why oppose it? Could it be that Zeng Yushi, there are also people in your family who go to sea to do business? However, Ben Hou heard that Zeng Yushi is a frequent visitor to Willow Lane, a local flower street, and he is very romantic! ”

"Nonsense...... How can there be such a thing, the lower officials have always had a breeze on their sleeves, and where did they come from the silver two to go to that kind of flower and willow land. A trace of panic flashed in Zeng Peixin's eyes, and he quickly denied it.

"Benhou nonsense?" Yang Feng glanced at the glamorous official uniform on Zeng Peixin's body, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.

There is no doubt that the salaries of Ming officials are very low.

For example, Zeng Peixin, as a six-grade imperial historian, according to the regulations of the imperial court, he has ten stone of Yulu every month, that is, 1,800 catties of rice, which sounds okay. But according to the algorithm of three grain bills and seven banknotes, Zeng Peixin can only get two taels of silver every month, and the amount of RMB converted into future generations is about 1,300 yuan at best, not to mention supporting his family, even if it is difficult to support himself, and the official uniform made of silk that Zeng Peixin is wearing now cannot be done without more than ten taels of silver, which shows that this Zeng Yushi is not as incorruptible as he claims.

The panic that flashed in Zeng Peixin's eyes naturally couldn't escape Yang Feng's eyes, he shook his head and said lightly: "The tax rate of one out of ten customs taxes is drawn up by Ben Hou himself, if anyone thinks that it is too high, they don't need to go to sea, Ben Hou's words are so much." Now, except for the governor, the political envoy, the envoy, and the governor, the rest of the people are scattered! ”

After Xia Dayan, Ding Youwen, Tu Hongliang and a few other people glanced at each other, Xia Dayan said to the officials behind him: "Let's go back to the yamen on an errand, and then go back after discussing things with the Marquis of Jiangning." ”

"Yes, the lower officials will obey the order!"

After everyone dispersed, Xia Dayan and the others saw Yang Feng sitting on the first seat after entering the hall, and after everyone sat down, Yang Feng said to everyone: "Everyone, this marquis has something to discuss with you today, and I also hope to get your support." ”

Xia Dayan and the others glanced at each other, and Xia Dayan arched his hand at this time: "Master Hou is serious, as the governor of Zhengnan, you naturally have the right to control the officials of Fujian Province, and we are naturally no exception, if you have something, you can tell me!" ”

Yang Feng's eyes swept over everyone before he said, "It's still a problem with the customs!" ”

"Customs?" Xia asked puzzledly: "Hasn't the customs yamen already been established, and Your Majesty has also issued a decree that it can be officially opened after the officials are dispatched by the yamen, what else does the Hou Ye need me to do?" ”

"Absolutely!" Yang Feng said lightly: "I don't know how much tax you think Xiamen Customs can bring to Daming every year?" ”

"This ......" Xia Dayan shook his head: "It's hard to estimate Xiaguan." ”

Ding Youwen, the political envoy, thought for a while and said, "Xia Guan thinks that there should be at least more than 100,000 taels." ”

"There is no ......" Lu Guangbiao shook his head and said, "Xia Guan thinks that there should be at least 300,000 taels." ”

"Three hundred thousand taels?" According to the inspector Tu Hongliang let out an exclamation, 300,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and this is only the customs of Xiamen, if this is true, then plus the customs of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Putian, etc., it is a remarkable number.

Xia Dayan's expression also changed slightly, he looked at Lu Guangbiao and said lightly in a reproachful tone: "Lord Lu, now that the customs yamen has not yet opened, how can you be so ambitious!" ”

Lu Guangbiao's mouth opened, and he didn't speak in the end, Xia Dayan is the number one in Fujian after all, although he is the governor of Fujian and the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, but Xia Dayan is his top boss after all, and after all, this kind of thing is a new thing, and he is not good at packing tickets indiscriminately.

Tu Hongliang said with a little excitement: "Even if you don't have 300,000 taels, it's good to have 200,000 taels of silver." If the customs offices in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places are established one after another, our Fujian province will be able to collect millions of taels of extra taxes every year, which is a great event. ”

Although Xia Dayan and Ding Youwen didn't speak, the strange light in their eyes couldn't hide from others.

Yang Feng looked at everyone's eyes, and naturally understood what everyone thought in their hearts, as the so-called wealth moved people's hearts, as soon as he heard that there was such a rich yamen under his command, it would be strange to say that he had no ideas......
