"Listening to the words of the team leader, I have read the scriptures in vain in the past ten years."

"Fortunately, I don't have time to learn eight shares, if not, it will be empty for another twenty years!"

"I'm impressed."

……

Everyone was amazed.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong suddenly sighed solemnly and asked: "But you open your eyes and see, can the current Daming and the current Linqing Tax Division do this?" ”

Zhu Cihong asked, and everyone was stunned.

After a long time, Chang Zhilang said bitterly: "There is no one in ten thousand." ”

"Taxation and finance are not only the cornerstone that supports the operation of the empire, but also the function of the empire: secondary distribution. Through the redistribution of taxes, the imperial court will truly and effectively have the power to repair bridges and roads, build water conservancy, and promote agriculture, so as to achieve the purpose of benefiting the world. So I'm going to change the world. The first step is to make this set in my heart, take it from the people, use it for the people, and truly conform to the way of heaven! Zhu Cihong said solemnly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded solemnly: "Where the righteousness is, my generation must follow the adult!" Go to the soup and fire without fear! ”

Seeing that the six of them were so serious, Zhu Cihong laughed and said, "It's too exaggerated to go to the soup and the fire." Don't you have some confidence if you follow me and do things? ”

Everyone suddenly smiled lightly, and Chang Zhilang asked again: "If what the adults said just now is put on other people, I will never believe it." But since it was Lord Qin Xia who said it, then whether I can understand it or not, I believe it! ”

"Haha, what I'm going to do in Qin Xia is certainly not empty talk. My plan, of course, is feasible. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Let's talk about this commercial tax, for example." There are some things that are in short supply in Linqing and even Shandong, such as rice and wheat. Some of them are flooded in Linqing, and there is no need for a large amount of dumping, such as Jinpa. Some are high-priced and high-profit, and some are low-profit and high-turnover. But I only use 30 taxes to collect taxes. Such an absurd and rigid tax has not changed even now. How ridiculous! Zhu Cihong said loudly: "But as long as it is changed in my hands, I can make you think that the tax that is just competing with the people for the benefit of the people has become a good government for the benefit of the people!" ”

"Su embroidery and Shu embroidery have always been used by high-ranking officials and wealthy families. Raising the tax rate will naturally not hurt the people. Jiangnan rice is eaten by the people every day. If we raise the tax rate, it will not matter if the big families are big, but it will be much more difficult for the small people to survive every day. ”

"But with the different types of taxes, we can increase the tax rate of Suzhou embroidery and Shu embroidery, and we can achieve an increase in tax revenue without hurting the people and shaking the people's livelihood. At the same time, we will carry out a zero tax rate on imported rice and increase the tax rate on domestic rice, so as to reduce the cost of merchants, increase the amount of rice deposited in Linqing, and finally achieve the goal of falling rice prices and allowing the people to get benefits. As long as the burden of the people is reduced, there will be more people who can afford to buy the silk embroidery, so that there will be more Shu embroidery and more foreign treasures, and our taxes will also be more! ”

"With just a slight change in the tax rate, you can build a qualified tax system that really plucks the most goose feathers and makes the least goose crow! Ladies and gentlemen, is such good government and virtuous government enough to be worthy of your pursuit? And am I worthy of your trust? ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Chang Zhilang and others stared at Zhu Cihong intently, and everyone felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

"We thought that the collection and expansion of taxes was the work of wicked people, and we always felt that we were a little sorry for the teachings of the saints. Listening to what the adults said today, I suddenly realized that I was enlightened and suddenly opened. Chang Zhilang often sighed.

Another prisoner also stood up and said ashamedly: "Just now, I still have some sneers at the knowledge taught by adults, and I always feel that this is taking advantage of the people. Today, I understand the strategy in the adult's chest, and I, Wu Sen, are extremely ashamed, it turns out that what I have in my heart is only hypocrisy for my own fame and fortune. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, let the two sit down, and said, "That's it, let's all sit down." Since everyone agrees with my aspirations, then we are of the same mind. It's not too late to save these words for the celebration banquet. Our top priority is to reform the tax rate, master the tax department, reform the tax system, and establish a tax system that truly establishes a tax system with secondary distribution, so as to truly serve the country and the people, and live up to the saint! ”

"We are willing to follow the adults, with one heart and one mind, without fear!" Chang Zhilang and Wu Sen stood up and shouted.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong finally smiled easily, asked everyone to sit down, and then took out a piece of paper, stood on the table with his back to the book, and said to everyone: "Since this is the case, then we can discuss the main points of the first work." ”

"The division of tax rates!"

"In general, the change in the tax rate can take into account these aspects."

When Zhu Cihong said this, I don't know when, Chang Zhilang suddenly picked up a pen and paper on Zhu Cihong's desk very undignified, and wrote with a brush.

Seeing this, the others were also busy preparing for the record.

As for Zhu Cihong, he frowned slightly, sorted out his thoughts and continued to speak.

"First, distinguish the main body of the tax burden, that is, after the tax rate is adjusted, who will ultimately bear the tax cost. For example, we have raised the tax rate of brocade and satin, just to worry that the price of brocade and silk will rise in the end, and the rich will not be happy, but reducing or even canceling linen and cotton cloth, which ordinary people are worried about rising in price, can reduce the burden on ordinary people. ”

"Second, distinguish the degree of critical scarcity, distinguish the types of goods, and establish different levels of tax rates. For example, food, which has never been too short, has always suppressed the consumption of alcohol...... The former I propose tax exemption, the latter, I ask for a high tax burden! ”

"Third, let's consider the cost of differentiating taxes. For example, the commercial tax of dozens of cents will be directly exempted. Of course, we must pay attention to control this opening, and we must not turn it into a loophole in the policy. Now in the early days of entrepreneurship, I won't mention it for the time being. However, in the specific tax work, you can pay attention to the issue of collection costs. Well, this cost includes the problem of corruption, omission. ”

When Zhu Cihong talked about the first two questions, the two of them only admired Zhu Cihong's open-mindedness and innovation.

But when it came to the third point, several people suddenly picked up their pens, as if they felt the cold winter wind blowing in their faces.

At this moment, a few people suddenly remembered Zhu Cihong's actions in Beijing.

Those officials who have been deeply rooted in the Jingshi Household Department for several generations or even more than ten generations have been subverted in the hands of Zhu Cihong!

As soon as they thought of this, everyone froze, and secretly admonished themselves to suppress those careful thoughts.
