Chapter 232: Taking Power in a Different Way (1)
After laughing and saying some gossip that he didn't have, Duan Ye finally touched his chin and said, "Mr. Jiao, for so many years, your family, in Jincheng County, can be regarded as highly respected, ah?" ”
When Jiao Meng heard this, he became nervous, it seemed that he was about to get to the point. Respected? If someone who asks for him to say this, Jiao Meng will love to hear it, because in that case, Jiao Meng can take the opportunity to grab considerable benefits.
However, when Duan Ye said this, the quality of xìng was completely different. As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and it is generally not the last resort, even if it is a small official with a lot of chicken feathers, Jiao Meng is also polite, let alone a person like Duan Ye.
I also know that Duan Ye said this, of course, he wanted something. As the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must first go with it, first put on a worthless hat for you, and then start asking for things, this hand, Jiao Meng has seen too much.
"Hehehe." Jiao Meng laughed twice, "The adults have won the prize, relying on the villagers to carry their love, Jiao Meng, there is still a little reputation in the township, eh, but it is also the responsibility of the people to share the worries of the adults, what do you need Jiao Meng to do, just open your mouth, Jiao Meng must be an adult, liver and brain!" ”
Jiao Meng's generous statement almost moved him, but in his heart, Jiao Meng was settling accounts, Duan Ye said this, most likely because he wanted money! This little cub has received two delicate beauties, and he is reluctant to move, even if he is reluctant to move, he still wants money!
Of course, being an official for thousands of miles is really just about money, Jiao Meng doesn't believe in officials who don't love money, and it can't be said that the new official doesn't take a hard job when he comes to power. Duan Ye ruthlessly killed the three major families before, wasn't the purpose to establish prestige! After Liwei is finished, it is time to ask for money.
Giving money is not a problem, the key is how much money is given, and the effect after giving money. What if the lion opens his mouth and can't afford to give it at all? Or Duan Yeguang collects money, but still doesn't protect his family, what should he do?
Jiao Meng was still nervous about mental arithmetic, but Duan Ye didn't seem to hear it, and said slowly: "Mr. Jiao, what about this world, there is some chaos, the world is estimated to be peaceful for a while, these things, whether it is those people, or us who are with soldiers, feel difficult." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiao Meng nervously responded with a few words, "Life in troubled times is not as good as a dog, hehehe, this is also a matter of no way, just survive." ”
"Ugh." Duan Ye sighed, looking worried about the country and the people, "Although the official is young, he has been following the adults of the festival for some time, as the saying goes, being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!" It's too far away, what Jiankang, Chang'an, this official is beyond the reach of the whip, but what, this Jincheng County, I can still talk about it. ”
"Ugh." Jiao Meng raised his head, "Your Excellency is the parent official here, so naturally everything is ordered by your adult." ”
"Hehehe." Duan Ye waved his hand, "Our Jincheng County, although the products are not rich, but the trade routes leading to Hehuang, Tuyuhun, and Hexi South Road also happen to pass through here, and there are actually a lot of business trips to and fro." ”
Jiao Meng thought about it, and suddenly understood, he smiled with him, and said: "That's, hehehe, so many merchants, buying cheaply and selling expensively, have earned the hard-earned money of countless people, and they have passed through the realm of adults, and the adults have protected their safety, so it is natural that they should pay more taxes to adults." ”
"No, that's not what it meant." Duan Ye explained, "On the contrary, this official thinks that in the past, the beggar department levied such a heavy tax, and although the tax rate was high, it caused many caravans to choose to take a long detour. ”
"What do you mean?"
"This official thinks that it is better to light the tax rate and encourage businessmen, in this way, although it seems that the tax rate is low, but the actual taxes that can be collected are more, and it can also allow those businessmen to promote the development of our Jincheng County!"
"Development?"
Seeing Jiao Meng's confused face, Duan Ye remembered that it was normal for people to not understand some modern words, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Jiao, our Warrior Castle, how many teahouses and restaurants are there now?" ”
"Well, there are more than 50 teahouses, and there are probably more wine shops, the weather here is slightly bitter cold, and the people who come and go are heroic, and they like to drink to keep out the cold."
"And if I cut the current tax by two-thirds, how many more merchants do you say?" Duan Ye asked.
"It is estimated that there will be three or four times more business travel." Jiao Meng is also a veteran of the business field, so he naturally knows the importance of tax reduction, and he also knows that if the various checkpoints here are demolished and the gold is less, how many businessmen will be rerouted here.
"Then tell me, if so many merchants come, can the original wine shop and tea shop be able to receive it? Not enough. Also, these people have come to our Warrior Castle, do they have to relax? Do you want to gamble for money and play with a woman? Duan Ye said with a smile.
Jiao Meng seemed to understand.
If this is the case, the population of Warrior Fort will be several times larger, and then there will naturally be a lot of teahouses, wine shops, casinos, and jì courtyards, and these alone will be able to levy a lot of new taxes! Moreover, there are more merchants, although the tax rate is less, but the more merchants there are, the more goods they have, and the actual tax collected will only be more, not less.
In this way, in fact, tax reduction is the real increase in income!
In Jiao Meng's understanding in the past, in fact, he would not and could not think of this stubble, in his opinion, increasing the tax rate will increase, indicating that the ruler is tyrannical and exceeding, and if the tax rate is reduced, it means that he would rather have less money in his hands and take care of the public.
But judging from Duan Ye's description, it is obvious that tax reduction can increase tax revenue, although Jiao Meng still feels that there are some places that he still can't figure out, but he still knows the truth that he must first take what he wants.
In fact, tax reduction is a profound fiscal policy in later generations, because the reason is very simple, as soon as you cut taxes, it is easy to stimulate production and consumption, and you also know that if the tax rate is too high, such as 100%, it seems that you tax all your income, but you can't actually collect taxes, because when all income is paid as taxes, people will feel that they have paid so much, but they don't get anything, since they definitely can't get it, it's better not to do it, so in this case, Producers are reluctant to produce, and investors are even more reluctant to invest.
Of course, when taxes are zero, the ruler does not collect taxes. So in any case, the proportional tax still has to be collected, otherwise how can the ruler rule? However, it is entirely possible to prove mathematically that if the tax rate is lowered appropriately, the tax base can be broadened and more taxes can be received. Moreover, through tax cuts, people can be given greater incentives, prompted people to work harder, invest more, invent better, be more courageous to take risks, dare to consume, and be more conducive to the efficiency of capital flow.
In this way, a good cycle can be formed, because these behaviors of people will actually improve production efficiency, effectively enhance economic strength, effectively reduce inflation, effectively renew, and increase employment due to economic development.
However, for Jiao Meng, he has not studied economics, he doesn't need to understand this, he only knows that this Master Duan, who still had some doubts at the beginning, has already taught him a lesson, such a simple truth, he has neither read it from a book, nor heard what his predecessors have said, today, it is the first time to hear it from Duan Ye. But everything is so natural and natural.
Jiao Meng admired this very much, and he was simply convinced. Now, he also somewhat understands why Duan Ye was able to become the Taishou of Dunhuang at a young age and command tens of thousands of troops.
Duan Ye continued: "Mr. Jiao, in fact, there is another point, think about it, if there are so many more wine shops and teahouses, qīng'lóu casinos, then how many people will have the opportunity to find their own bowl of rice to eat?" These people may not have been able to support themselves in the past, but now they can support themselves, and they may have lived a very hard life in the past, but now they can fill their stomachs, what a merit this is. ”
Jiao Meng was stunned, he really didn't think of this at first, this is also normal, people who have no training in economics cannot know how important employment is.
But after all, Jiao Meng is a person who has been in business for many years, these things are easy to understand, and they will be bright when they dial it, if so many people can support themselves and have something to eat, on the one hand, it will definitely be good for Warrior Castle, and they will also be grateful for Duan Ye's kindness, but more importantly, how much more can you charge for the poll tax?
It seems that this Lord Duan is really amazing, he understands the truth of the long flow of water, and knows how to teach people to fish and then reel in the net. This hand, few people in the world can think of it.
It's just that Jiao Meng is puzzled, since this Lord Duan is so wealthy, why did he still do it with himself? What did he want from himself?
Instead of going around here, it is better to spread it out and say, Jiao Meng owes himself, and said: "This grand ambition of the adult, Jiao Meng admires, although Jiao Meng is over sixty years old, but he is also willing to be a pawn for this career of the adult, if the adult needs Jiao Meng to do, whether it is to contribute money or effort, Jiao Meng will not hesitate!" ”
"Hehehehe." Duan Ye slapped his face with a smile, and applauded continuously. It's just that every time he pats it, Jiao Mengna chuckles in his heart. He had heard that some officials asked for money, just by the sound of clapping their hands, all of a sudden, but 100,000 yuan!
Heavenly Spirit, Heavenly Spirit, Don't Exceed 500,000 Yuan, Jiao Meng silently prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart.
