225. Chapter 225
"And what is the solution you just said?"
Yin Qingcheng only used four words, "Household tax separation." ā
"Household tax separation?" An Sui thought about it for a while, and then understood what Yin Qingcheng meant.
Yin Qingcheng glanced at An Sui, and saw in her eyes that she actually understood what she meant, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Then he retracted his surprise, and faced the people of the household department, "The separation of household tax mentioned by the lower official means that he hopes to separate the household registration and tax registration into two systems.
For a long time, household registration and tax registration have been managed together, and household registration is the guarantee of taxation, which is not denied by the lower officials. But that doesn't mean that hukou and taxes have to be tied together. Imagine what would happen if the household registration and tax registration were managed separately? We can levy a poll tax according to the head household registration, we can levy a commercial tax according to the business unit of the merchant, and we can levy a land tax according to the unit of the field. ā
The people in the household department are all people who have many years of experience in the household department, Yin Qingcheng is so broken, everyone quickly understands what Yin Qingcheng means.
An Sui thought for a moment, "If this can be implemented, then the business registration of the merchant can be registered separately in the area where the merchant operates, and the tax will be paid according to the area where the business is located." In this way, the problem of household registration and tax payment of merchants can be easily solved. Sure enough, it's a good idea! ā
Yin Qingcheng said softly, "But if it is to be implemented, it will also be a troublesome matter, and this household registration reform law will be difficult." ā
The official of the household department said, "What this official is worried about is that if it is according to Lord Yin, it will be a good thing, but at the same time, it will lead to too many items to be taxed, so that the people may not be able to bear the burden of their taxes." This poll tax is the number of eleven, if it is according to Lord Yin's words, it is to add the commercial tax, and then take a part, and then take a part of the tax at this level, this tax is enough to drag down the livelihood of the people. This cannot be overthought. ā
Yin Qingcheng didn't fight for it, but said lightly, "It's time to think about it." ā
It has been discussed to this point, and it can only be so, An Sui was thinking deeply about Yin Qingcheng's mention on the way back, Yan Zhe saw her like this, so he had to comfort, "Don't worry, it is already unexpectedly smooth to be able to discuss it to this point." It's not easy to say that these old men in the household department can recognize the business port, so don't be discouraged. ā
An Sui nodded, "I know." It's just that if the business port is to be expanded, it will not work without a complete management system of the household department. Now it's just the beginning. Only when results can be made can those people in the court be convinced. An Sui suddenly remembered something, so he had to purse his lips and say patiently, raising his head was normal, "Forget it, it's true that I'm too anxious, and I have to lose some of my lordship today." ā
Yan Zhe nodded and smiled, the young man was a little impulsive, and it was rare for An Sui to have such calmness at a young age.
Gongsun Luo was already waiting not far away, and An Sui saw her and was about to say goodbye to Yan Zhe, "Then the official has a private matter, so he will retire first!" ā
Yan Zhe followed An Sui's eyes, and had already seen Gongsun Luo, she was still wearing the official uniform in the palace, Yan Zhe couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord An, although this should not be said by this official, it's just that now that you have a sensitive identity, it's better to have less contact with people in the palace, and you also cherish your own reputation." ā
An Sui was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Yan Zhe was referring to, "Xia Guan understands." ā
Gongsun Luo went out of the palace to visit An Sui when he was on vacation.
"The first time I saw a foreign minister's official uniform, it was not the same as the appearance in the palace before." Gongsun Luo laughed.
In fact, Gongsun Luoben is a cool woman, but her fate has been bumpy, and her temperament has changed greatly.
"I'm going to trouble you today, the things to be sent to the queen are sloppy, and this year the emperor said that he would handle it well. There is everything in this palace, and the queen will not lack anything. Several female officials are worried, I think about it is to go to the Wenxiang Pavilion outside the palace to find some good calligraphy and paintings, the queen also likes this, it should not be too rude. However, although I am a female official who came up from the scientific examination, I don't know much about this, so I have to trouble you to accompany me on a trip! Gongsun Luo said helplessly, "In the past, when you were still in the palace, you didn't think there was any trouble with this gift, anyway, you will help us prepare." Now that the Qianzheng Palace has become something I want to help them prepare. It's hard enough for me. ā
An Sui Ran, in the past, it has always been a troublesome thing to prepare for the birthday of the harem concubines every year, "No wonder you never come out of the palace actually come to me." ā
Gongsun Luo had already prepared the carriage, and after changing into official uniforms, the two went to Wenxiang Pavilion.
Wenxiangge is located on the outskirts of Beijing, and it has also begun to become famous in the past two or three years, according to Lu Yan, it is also composed of their group of young painters and calligraphers.
It's a pity that Lu Yan is not in Beijing, otherwise, he can ask him to bother to paint a picture for Gongsun Luo.
An Sui walked to the door, and someone came to greet him, first read the post handed by An Sui, and then said, "Girls, please!" ā
"Thank you!"
Gongsun Luo hadn't come to Wenxiang Pavilion, he thought he could go in directly, but he didn't know that he had to hand over the post, An Sui smiled, "It's the first time I've come here, but this post was left to me by Lu Painter at the beginning, saying that I was interested in coming and coming to see it." If it weren't for your blessing, I would have forgotten about it. ā
Wenxiang Pavilion is very large, divided into three floors, five rooms inside and outside, according to the order of each person's works, there are some famous paintings and masterpieces collected from various places.
An Sui's post was given by Lu Yan, and Lu Yan was also a core figure in the group of these painters and scribes, and the person who led the way directly took An Sui to the third layer.
"I don't know what the two girls call them?"
Gongsun Luo replied, "My surname is Gongsun, and this surname is An." ā
"Oh!" The man who led the way stopped at the end of the stairs on the third floor, "Because the post that the girl is holding is a distinguished guest, the two floors below will not attract the two girls to see, and the third floor is all treasures, and the girl can enjoy it!" ā
After that, he left, Gongsun Luo browsed a few paintings, pointed to one of them and said, "Why does this trace look so much like yours?" ā
An Sui walked over and took a closer look, on the stroke of the pen, there are indeed six points similar to his own handwriting, but in terms of temperament, it should be a man's penmanship. What's more, An Sui is good at official scripts, and the regular script written by him also has a bit of the charm of official scripts, but the regular script in front of him is better than the official book.
After a careful study of the payment, "Huaiyang? ā
Gongsun Luo Qi said, "Huaiyang, but the noble person next to the eldest princess?" ā
"I'm afraid it's him!" An Sui said with a smile, no wonder it does look a little familiar, in addition to inheriting the characteristics of You Shiji, Huaiyang's calligraphy has indeed followed him for a few years because the eldest princess is by his side.
"I just don't want his calligraphy to be so good now."
Gongsun Luo was also surprised, "But I never knew that he was so good at this, if he knew, he didn't have to go out of the palace, just let him write a picture for me." ā
Gongsun Luo continued to look at the other paintings, but An Sui suddenly felt a movement on his shoulder, turned his head, and turned his head to face Xing Hou, and there was a young woman standing next to him, who had always been Mrs. Xing Hou.
An bowed down to salute, but Xing Hou stretched out his hand to stop him, "Since you came out, don't be so polite, just call Xing Gongzi below." As he spoke, he took Mrs. Xinghou's hand again, "Just call Mrs. Xing." ā
"Gongzi Xing, Mrs. Xing!"
"Ann girl!" Mrs. Xinghou also replied softly.
Xing Hou smiled, "I just saw you coming up, but I thought I recognized the wrong person, every time I wore an official uniform, it was different." ā
"Xing Gongzi is also here to buy these paintings and calligraphy?"
"Sort of! I like it very much, so I'll take a look. Why did you come? ā
An said, "If you come to the painting institute, you will paint yourself!" ā
While he was talking, Gongsun Luo had already looked at a painting, and Xing Hou also glanced at it and praised it, "This painting is indeed the best choice, the brushstrokes are smart and elegant, and the colors are bold and simple." Miss Gongsun really has a good eye. It's a pity ......"
"What a pity?" Gongsun Luo looked at Xing Hou.
"The painting has been given away."
Gongsun Luo looked regretful, "I fell in love with this one when I was born, but I was given to leave." ā
"If Miss Gongsun really likes this painting so much, there is a mention of yƬ below, I wonder if Miss Gongsun would like to hear it?"
"Xing Gongzi has an idea, so let's say it!"
Xing Hou glanced at An Sui meaningfully, "Although this painting is good, this painter has a lot of paintings in Wenxiang Pavilion, which is not very rare. If Miss Gongsun could find a painting that was even rarer than it in exchange, the pavilion master who came to this Wen Xiang Pavilion first should still be willing to exchange it. ā
"Rarer than that, where can I find this painting? The paintings of this Wen Xiangge are all treasures, where can there be more rare. ā
Xing Hou raised his eyebrows and looked at An Sui, "That's not necessarily, isn't there one standing next to the girl?" ā
Gongsun Luo looked at An Sui, "Lord An? ā
"I haven't been in the capital for a long time, but I've also heard that Lord An once painted a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix for the queen's mother, which is also all the rage in the capital. If Lord An is willing to paint a painting, in exchange, the pavilion master of Wenxiang Pavilion will also be happy to transfer this painting to Gongsun Girl. ā
Gongsun Luo was naturally happy when he heard that there was a way to get this painting.
An Sui was a little more puzzled, "Strange, how could Gongzi Xing know so much about the thoughts of the Pavilion Master Wen Xiang, and know that he would be willing to offend the person who ordered this painting before for one of my paintings?" ā
