I have thought about the idea of a luxury tax for a long time, but there has been no good time, and now it is just right to mention it - one is that although I have done business in the name of righteousness, but after all, I can't manage it for a long time, and this "state-owned enterprise" can make money in a short time, and in the long run, the experience of the previous life is clearly proven, rather than making the state monopolize such industries, it is better to return it to the people, and the state will sit and wait for the tax collection, but in the long run, form a law, so that the ministers know that it is profitable, The two acts of taxation can better prove that the Fengtian Clothing Bureau is doing business for the public, and the court and the central government still have some criticism of the mother's permission for the government to open the door to do business, and when the tax law comes out, not only will there be no reason to close it, but it will not be able to make it live for a thousand years. The third is my selfishness, although the Fengtian Clothing Bureau said that the income was handed over to the local officials at the beginning, but it may not be fully managed by the local officials, and it is not unfounded to hand it over to the spring officials or summer officials, and then I can use this small Fengtian Bureau to sell personal favors to them, and install my own hands by the way - but at the same time, I will also offend the local officials, collect taxes, and sell a good to the local officials, they have the big income of taxes, and naturally they will no longer care about the ownership of this small Fengtian Bureau.

My mother not only thought of the benefits of taxation, but also thought of the longer term, and looked at me with a smile: "Is it called 'luxury tax', is it possible that in addition to clothing, wine can also be taxed, and gold, silver and jade can also be taxed?"

I said, "That's nature. Not only were these taxes levied, but also taxes were levied on the goods sold into the Central Plains by the Hu merchants—but for those who had merit or titles, they could not be collected for the time being. ”

Mother smiled and said, "However, the title of merit is determined by the imperial court, right?"

I laughed: "Not only that, but the luxury goods imported into the Central Plains by Hudi also have to pay additional taxes, but if they have applied for it, they can pay less or no taxes - as long as they are willing to go to the local government to register their households, they will be recorded as 'ethnic minorities'." ”

Mother thoughtfully: "Ethnic minorities?"

I said, "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and the world is so big that all of them are His Majesty's subjects. The people of the Central Plains are like this, and so are the Hu people. Therefore, it should not be called by the old name of "Chengpang" in the past, but replaced by "ethnic minorities", and those who are registered as "ethnic minorities" can have priority to enter the Central Plains to study, learn the gifts of the Central Plains, give tax exemptions and exemptions, and give preferential treatment when electing officials, the only requirement is to go to the government once a year to register the population, place of origin, and place of residence, and those who are registered can not only get tax reductions and exemptions, but also get rewards from the government when they celebrate big times. ”

Mother smiled and said, "Go on." ”

I said: "In addition to ethnic minorities, the imperial court can also exempt some foreign feudal lords from taxes, depending on their sincerity and sincerity. The luxury goods imported into the country were all exempt from duty, not only were they exempt from taxation, but the imperial court could also give them some appropriate rewards to reward them for selling goods to foreign countries. ”

The mother bowed slightly: "This move can be implemented in one with the side strategies that Dugu Shao and Cui Mingde used to do." You are very good at calculating, you used to envelop the borderlands, and you had to spend national money, but now you don't have a penny, just a few documents, you can make them compete for dependence. ”

I laughed: "If the people have no money, then who will buy these luxury things? If the country is not strong, how can foreign vassals compete to do business here? It can be seen that in the end, it is A-Niang who takes care of the country so well, and only when the country is strong and the people are rich can there be a chance to be shrewd." ”

My mother was slapped by me and smiled: "I know that you are a little petty ghost, and when you pat yourself on the back, you want to ask your mother for something, anyway, what do you want this time?"

I said seriously: "They all praise A-Niang sincerely, and they are never for A-Niang's things." Seeing that his mother was full of disbelief, Fang smiled and said, "I also want things, not big things... I want to go to Xijing to open a branch, but there are not enough people in the bureau, so I begged A-Niang to allocate four or five hundred people from the palace to make up a number temporarily. ”

My mother glared at me: "When I opened the Fengtian Bureau, I begged for 600 skilled maids, and I complained in several places that no one called me, and the newly made clothes were not as exquisite as the outside, so you still want to beg for it?"

I hurriedly said: "This time I don't need skilled people, just over fourteen years old, under twenty years old, a little more dexterous, I have machines, now I ask someone to teach them, one person to make a part, no need for any skills." ”

The mother still refused: "It's easy to say, 'a little smarter', if you can find such a useful one, why don't the two provinces complain every year that there are no good people to call?"

I smiled and stepped forward, leaning against my mother's side, and pulling the hem of her clothes with both hands: "What should I do? The machine has been built, and the store can be seen, can't it be opened all of a sudden?"

My mother reacted and squinted at me, "What do you think?"

I smiled and said, "I don't dare to be a good person, I only have some shallow thoughts - I want to openly recruit people from the market." "The good families used here in Luoyang are all designated by the government and apportioned like conscription, but when I arrived in the capital, I wanted to change.

My mother frowned at me slightly: "Recruiting people in the market?"

I laughed: "With A-Niang, the Fengtian Bureau is well known in the Shendu, but it may not be in Xijing. ”

The mother said lightly: "Open recruitment, it is equivalent to telling the world that women can also make money in a bright and bright way, and the number is not small, in addition, if other families follow suit, then many women in the market can come out to work, and they don't have to be confined to the inner curtain, right?"

I forced a smile and said, "How can I think so much about A-Niang, I just want to earn some fame for the Fengtian Bureau." ”

The mother closed her eyes and remained silent. I tugged at her clothes again and said coquettishly, "Auntie." Rubbing her face on her leg repeatedly, she rubbed for a long time, but she was not only unmoved, but when she opened her eyes, her voice became more stern: "You have done a good job in the matter of the Fengtian Clothing Bureau, and you will be given three hundred." You have worked hard this year, go home and rest for a few days, and don't worry about the affairs of the Fengtian Bureau anymore. ”

I was shocked, knelt up straight and called, "Auntie?"

My mother glanced at me and gently stroked my face with one hand, I thought she had softened, but the words that came out were: "Since the Fengtian Bureau was founded by you, you are most familiar with it, go back and think about it, see who can take over, draw up a notebook, go directly to the palace, and hand it over as soon as possible." 166 Reading Network
