At present, Bailiyan's family property has a gold collar, five inches of gold, and seven inches of silver, and these alone are worth more than 800 yuan, plus hundreds of copper coins, and the hoarded herbs have a total asset of more than 1,000 yuan, which can be regarded as petty bourgeoisie. According to this division, your money is lying at home, and you have to collect the profit tax, what is the difference between this fucking and robbery.

Article 7 is a naked robbery of the rich, Article 13 simply robs the rich if they don't give it.

However, any individual who regularly fails to submit property details to the government on time, and if the report is true, the deposit and profit tax will be doubled, but anyone who maliciously conceals the report may be sentenced to a heavier sentence ranging from not having his house to being killed.

The most fatal thing is that during the promotion of the "Nongsang Order", it caused serious contradictions and antagonisms between the rich class and the poor class, and Article 13 was undoubtedly instigating the common people to take revenge on the rich businessmen in the name of the report.

Who can tell the boundaries of this thing, even a candle is so precious at the moment, half of it is lit and half of it is left, this is not an asset, the money buried in the ground of one's own house is not an asset, and the moldy rice hoarded in the warehouse is not an asset.

Relying on unreliable "voluntary consciousness" and "public opinion supervision," the 13th New Deal is tantamount to exterminating the rich.

Finally, Article 21 prohibits businessmen from evading the collection of the deposit and profit tax, and it is strictly forbidden to take all the immediate family members out of Xianguo in the name of doing business.

There is no scientific economic statistical indicator or industry standard, in fact, there is no possibility at present, but it is only a general profit rate of more than 20% to measure whether the deposit and profit tax should be levied, and it is a one-size-fits-all approach for all industries, all measured by a 20% profit rate.

In this way, Gongsun Yue's motive for promoting the "Push Business Tax" is very clear, that is, to crack down on businessmen who have taken advantage of the shortcomings of the new law, the "Nongsang Order", to make huge profits in the past decade.

But this is undoubtedly a rabbit with grass, and a net of big fish and small shrimp, but all profiteering industries are included, even the head of the butcher is no exception.

At present, due to the low productivity, the price changes and profit margins of various materials are generally high, and the net profit of 10 percent in modern society can be regarded as the profit of the upper middle, and more than 20 percent is a high-profit industry.

Nowadays, industries with profits of 10 percent are everywhere, and even the profitability of the officially opened market is above 20 or 30 percent.

Almost except for liquor shops, street vendors, post houses, academies and other purely traffic-based profits, even the bitches in brothels have to pay the profit tax.

It is said that the top girls in the brothel spend one night, and the few get a few hundred wen or two, and the most cost one or two inches of silver, and some even get an inch of gold for one night, so that the number of top women worth more than 500 yuan is not a few.

After reading through the text, Bai Liyan broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill down his spine, the vast majority of the people at the scene were illiterate ordinary people, even destitute peasants, and the supporters of the new policy "Pushing Business Tax" implemented by Gongsun Yue were almost all from the lowest class of society, and "Pushing Business Tax" was undoubtedly inciting them to report and expose the rich.

"Senior brother, what do you think about this?"

Bai Liyan asked Gao Xun, Gao Xun looked solemn:

"It's not good, it's not good, if Prime Minister An wants to include those who are more than 500 guan into the profit tax, most of those who are below 500 guan have private wealth, and I am afraid that many people with 300 guan will have to subdue the law, which is really not good."

When the two of them were talking, the entrance of the vegetable market was applauding, and the waves were higher and higher, all of them were singing praises to the merits of King Dexian and Prime Minister Sun Yue, but how did they know that the invisible storm was brewing.

Once the new law is implemented, it will inevitably trigger financial turmoil across the country, and the impact on ordinary people is only a matter of time.

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Bailiyan rode on his horse and said:

"Brother Gao, there are many people here, today I am the east, I will wait to find a wine shop to drink two pots first, and talk about this matter while drinking."

"Anyway, Lord Zhao is active, and it will be difficult to return home for a while."

Gao Xun sighed and followed Bai Liyan to find a wine shop.

Since Zhao Xun was appointed as a doctor, he has almost no property except for the 200 acres of food he was given, unlike other princes and nobles, who used privileges and channels to raise a large number of merchants in the name of raising scholars to make profits.

Zhao Xun only because of the need for intelligence, so Ding Su moved everywhere in the name of business, and he has also saved a lot of family assets over the years.

In order to avoid the impact of the new policy, other princes and nobles must have secretly reached a compromise with King Xian and Gongsun Yue, and this new policy excluded all of them, including the merchants they raised in the name of monks.

And Zhao Xun is different, Ding Su and him are only the relationship between the predecessors and subordinates, Zhao Xun has no foundation in the court, because of the Jiangdong War, the court and the Dingyang Hou Dynasty are not harmonious, he does not dare to blatantly include Ding Su into the shogunate. So this Ding Su has always been an independent portal, and Zhao Xun went to find him first when he went out of the palace, and he also asked him for advice.

Zhao Xun is just a military attache and knows nothing about the economy, and the new deal is a decree issued by the cabinet of the Inner Dynasty.

Riding all the way, the news of the new deal has spread, many people at the bottom applauded, and some people have been impatient to preach it everywhere.

Most of the western part of the city are poor dwellings, and compared with the luxurious pavilions in the eastern part of the city, the wine shops in the western part of the city are very shabby, only wooden and mud walls, with wooden planks on the roof, and then covered with straw huts, not even a single tile.

Zhao Xun's disciples have a small monthly income, Gao Xun's income is limited, and there are few opportunities to eat wine without Bailiyan and other crafts that can make a living, and most of them come to the cheap wine shops in the west of the city to eat two bowls.

Grabbed the reins of the horse, and the two stopped outside a wine shop called Jinzuifang, Bai Liyan looked at the door plaque of the wine store and said:

"Senior brother, how about the wine shop here."

"Tsuzuifang? Mo is not a separate shop in the east of the city. ”

"Exactly, it is a newly opened liquor shop in the west of the city at the beginning of this year, although the wine is not as good as the Jinzuifang in the east of the city, it is more enjoyable than other liquor shops in the west of the city, and I heard that there is also a liquor mixed with water."

Bailiyan actually makes liquor herself, but it is mainly used to distill alcohol for disinfection, and she does not dare to blatantly take it out and sell it easily.

Nowadays, most of the sake brewing is made with grain, and koji is a material strictly controlled by the government, and if the brewery wants to make wine, it needs to buy koji from the official before it can be sold. Therefore, the profits of liquor stores are actually not high, and they are mostly exploited by the government.

Nowadays, the law is relatively crude and unsound, and Bai Liyan's cognition is more than 2,000 years higher than that of today's people, and in his opinion, it is full of loopholes.

According to the law, it is illegal to sell moonshine made from grain without permission and can be fined. The definition of liquor is also very narrow, and only three kinds of liquor can be fined, bitter wine, rice wine, and rice wine, which are controlled to a certain extent because they consume food.

However, Xianguo is located in the subtropics, seasonal fruits and fruits are very rich, many wineries account for sixty percent of the grain winemaking, and the dependence on koji is not high, most of the poor wine shops are self-brewed fruit wine, in order to avoid the official koji tax, and the tax rate of fruit wine is only half of that of grain winemaking, so most of the profits of wine shops are fruit wine and meat.

However, although the liquor tax clearly stipulates that the sale of moonshine can be criminalized and fined, it does not stipulate the penalty for not selling private liquor. It's like if you have guns and ammunition, you don't break the law by hiding them at home, and you can get a crime by showing them off on the street.

Bailiyan didn't want to make trouble, so she also used fruit to make wine, and then distilled to obtain alcohol, and after the pomace was fermented for a second time to remove the fermented taste, it was made into sugar paste and sold, which could also get a lot of income.

The two entered the wine shop, pulled up the hem, and sat at a table next to the window in the northeast corner.

Most of the drinks are drunk on knees or cross-legged, and there are straw mats under the seats to make it easy for diners to kneel and sit. In the eastern part of the city, the mat can be a cotton pouch.

Bailiyan ordered a pot of white wine, a pound of white-cut beef, and two plates of hanging beans, and drank wine with Gao Xun.

Hanging beans are a unique crop on this planet, about one centimeter in diameter, yellow-brown, round and round like Mai Lisu.

The taste is between pine nuts and pistachios, rich in oil, it is a unique planting crop in the inland dry climate, but the yield is very general, the climate of the salty country is warm and humid, not suitable for hanging bean planting, most of them are imported from Zhiguo with a big ship, the price is four times that of ordinary rice, you can drink wine after frying, and the taste is very fragrant.

After taking a sip of wine, Bailiyan frowned, and suddenly wanted to scold her mother.

There is too much liquor mixed with water, and the alcohol content is up to 20 degrees, and the mellow flavor that should be there is gone, not only that, but the price is not cheap.

This liquor was also brewed by Boyuanjun, and began to be produced on a large scale, and exported to countries other than Liang, because it was monopolized by Boyuanjun, the price was also quite high.

Baijiu first entered the Xianguo country in the winter of two years ago, and after being successfully brewed by Boyuanjun, it arose in the Liang country, and then began to spread.

Compared with the current bitter wine, rice wine, and aged wine, which are less than 10 degrees, the taste of liquor is mellow and rich, and the aftertaste is endless, with a degree of at least 40 or more, or even more than 50 degrees. Once it appeared, it was quite popular in the market.

The first batch of liquor to enter the Xianguo was a direct tribute to the king of Xian, this time Antai Houji through the Xianguo, but also a tribute of one hundred altars of Liangguo liquor.

Of course, the price is naturally not expensive, more than six times that of bitter wine, rice wine, and aged wine, and even if it is mixed with water, it is three times more expensive.

After continuing to drink two sips, Gao Xun enjoyed it very much, this should be the first time he drank such an "expensive" liquor, and every time he took a sip, he had to close his eyes and reminisce, as if his life had sublimated into another new realm under the influence of alcohol.

"Brother Gao, what do you think of the twenty-first article of "Pushing Business Tax"?"

Bai Liyan interrupted Gao Xun and pulled him back to the unfinished question. Gao Xun shook his head slightly, put down the wine and said slowly:

"Not to mention the surplus tax, nowadays there are many kinds of taxes and miscellaneous taxes in various industries, if you count the princes and nobles fiefdoms to collect taxes on their own, it is as much as a cow's hair, many taxes are repeated, should first rectify the tax items, reduce the people's taxes to recuperate, and then levy commercial taxes, so as to calm people's hearts. Now that the people are hungry and poor, and the opening of business tax items is tantamount to adding insult to injury. ”

"What Brother Gao said is true, although "Nongsang Order" has improved, it has not eliminated the drawbacks. The people have not yet recovered from the food shortage four years ago, and now the "Push Business Tax" is directed at the rich businessmen, so that the rich businessmen are afraid that everyone is in danger. Once the wealthy businessmen flee with the money, or raise the price in disguise, it is the people who will suffer in the end. ”

"Exactly." Gao Xun agreed, sighed, and was very gloomy: "In order to enrich the treasury, the king has increased the number of taxes to collect commercial taxes, and the interests of merchants have decreased, so it is bound to exploit the people by increasing the selling price. It's really an old disease that hasn't been cured, and a new disease is added, and in the long run, this radical change will destroy the Xianguo sooner or later by Gongsun Yue alone. Gao Xun took a sip of wine, and his mood was very pessimistic.
