Chapter 310: The Founding of the New Ming Dynasty
Chapter 310 The Founding of the New Ming Dynasty
October 19 is the founding of the new Ming Dynasty.
Chen Weizheng did not intend to show up on the founding of the New Ming Kingdom, nor did he plan to take up any position in the New Ming Kingdom, because his identity was too sensitive, and he hoped that in the next two years, people would forget him.
According to the convention, a large parade was held, and the procession paid tribute to the new king Zheng Bolong, the old man Zheng has never been so comfortable, thinking of the chief designer of the year, it is a pity that no one put up a banner of "Hello Lao Zheng" below. With the heart of Mo Cong and his cabinet, the founding ceremony of the new Ming Kingdom was a complete success, and the whole procedure was precise and impeccable.
Surprisingly, there was no military parade at the ceremony, and there was not even a military phalanx in the procession, and it seems that the new Ming Kingdom has become a peace-loving country overnight.
As soon as the new Ming Dynasty was established, the whole country was fully engaged in construction, including the completion of river dredging, the construction of high-grade highways, high-speed railways, port construction, industrial zone construction, and characteristic agricultural development.
At this time, there was an excellent news that Honghe Province escalated into a diplomatic incident because of the improper handling of bilateral economic and trade relations with Vietnam, causing tension between the two sides. He was directly dismissed from his post and returned to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to wait for work assignment.
Hearing the news, Chen Weizheng jumped three feet high, and said to Mo Cong, who was drinking together: I will go to Pingnan immediately, and the kidnapping will also tie up Long Jinxing.
Mo Cong said that agriculture is very important for a big country like China, and it is not too important for a small country like Xinming, if you think about it, a small country with less than 50 million people, if the industry is developed, there is no problem in feeding agriculture.
Chen Weizheng said that the main thing is to solve the problem of the original inhabitants, whose quality is low, and the vast majority of them are engaged in traditional agriculture, and they have no other ability than the most primitive and low-efficiency planting methods, and they have no way to pay the poll tax on their annual income. It's impossible to kill them all!
Mo Cong said that whether to consider the reduction of the poll tax for those engaged in agricultural production. Chen Weizheng said that it is absolutely not good, the quality of these people is low, once you reduce the poll tax, his children will be born in a string, and then you want to let the born not be born, and you don't want to let the old people be born, so you are annoyed.
Mo Cong said that if you really can't pay the poll tax, what else can you do? Labor reform? Enforced?
Either way! Chen Weizheng replied very calmly, a person who can't even pay taxes, he shouldn't be a person from Xinmingguo, where to fall in love. The worst can still go north, anyway, the central central country in the north is a big country, the sea is inclusive, and the lumpenproletarians are a loyal revolutionary force.
Mo Cong laughed and said: You are also a party member! You're a lumpen-propertied person.
The two began to discuss the details of the poll tax, which is really a rather backward thing, and it is no wonder that no one has adopted it in the past two hundred years, because it has completely broken people's demand for big pot rice. In ancient China, there were people who collected taxes on a per capita basis, but because the price was set too high, some people began to be unable to pay it, and later more and more people could not pay it, and there was a peasant uprising. So there was a reform, from the poll tax to the land tax, the most direct result of the land tax is: those who have land pay taxes, and those who do not have land have children, so since the Tang Dynasty, the number of people began to soar. The strength of the number of people is great, which is a good thing, if the old Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty advocates export-oriented development and radiates the population to the world, then the world will be completely different. The problem is that since the Song Dynasty, China has begun to close off the country, the land area is getting narrower and narrower, people are still giving birth to more and more, the per capita land area, the forest area is getting smaller and smaller, so that the development has reached the point where a bottle of milk is divided into three people to eat, in order to still feel the stickiness and color of the milk, the creator invented the ammonia technology. There was not enough rice to eat, so the yield was increased, and the heavy metal technology was invented.
Chen Weizheng said that the business transaction tax should be levied, but no income tax, and that the personal income adjustment tax and the enterprise income tax are all practices of killing the rich and helping the poor, and the result is that the rich would rather stop production than pay income tax, which seriously hinders the development of productive forces.
Mo Cong believes that if this is the case, the tax will not be able to cover the corresponding expenses of the state.
Chen Weizheng asked what expenses were for example, and Mo Cong gave an example of education. Chen Weizheng told him that education does not need to be enjoyed by all people, for example, a farmer who farms in the countryside will not use to solve equations in his life, and it is a waste for them to receive this kind of education. As long as you understand some ordinary truths and be able to accept legal ideas. If you have money, you can receive further paid education, education is a very expensive industry, and the current nine years of implementation are too wasteful, and the negative effect is very large. The higher the level of education, the lazier, more self-righteous, more pretentious, and the more old people are in the world. The most ridiculous thing is that 90% of high school graduates go to college, and 100% of college graduates can't find a job, not because they don't have a job, but because college graduates 100% believe that the benefits of these positions are far from their investment and expectations for more than ten years.
Mo Cong thought of the education situation in China, and also agreed with Chen Weizheng's point of view, the vast majority of domestic students are wasters of education surcharges, because they have not been able to figure out why they are studying until the last day of studying. Instead, I understood a truth: in the past ten years, my parents have worked hard to earn back two dollars, and the school has cheated them out! So after graduation, it is no longer about repaying the society but taking revenge on the society. This kind of college student, in the new Ming Kingdom, would rather be less.
Chen Weizheng told Mo Cong that the state will still launch a large number of state-owned enterprises, and the income of state-owned enterprises is the pillar that really supports the kingdom. Use laws and taxes to manage the market, use systems and regulations to manage the interior, and try to create a fair society, at least superficially fair.
Mo Cong asked again about military spending and internal security expenses, Chen Weizheng said that any investment must be profitable, otherwise it will be a failure, and the army must fight and plunder, otherwise it will not be able to support itself. The police must arrest people and collect fees according to the law, otherwise they will not be able to support themselves.
Mo Cong knew that what Chen Weizheng said made sense, but he still couldn't accept Chen Weizheng's views after receiving higher education in China, especially the management cost theory, which made him very uncomfortable. Chen Weizheng's theory will produce a large number of sudden riches, no matter how rich you are, you only need to pay business tax and poll tax. At the same time, it will breed a large number of [***] phenomena in the management level, and what awaits [***] elements is reckless killing, and the result of reaching out is death. Chen Weizheng wants to explain a truth to the people of Xinming, do what you should do, do well and you will be very rich, how much money you have is not red, you only need to pay one kind of tax: poll tax, and the rest is what you deserve. If you can't even pay the poll tax on your income, sorry, you have two choices, one is to choose to leave the new Ming Kingdom, and the other is to choose death. When each child is born, the tax bureau will send a bank tax payment card, the same number as the ID card, this card is the symbol of the citizens of the new Ming country, without this sign, will not be able to get the protection of the new Ming country, will be expelled or shot at any time. There is no tax received in the card this month, and it is generally two situations, accidental death or automatic departure from Xinmingguo.
Mo Cong believes that if this is done, people will flee one after another, and Chen Weizheng said that the land of Xinming Kingdom, the most suitable total number of human beings is 10 million. If it is 10 million, the mountains will be clearer, the sky will be bluer, the water will be greener, the soil will be fertile, and the living conditions will be better. Agriculture can adopt the most primitive way, leave heavy metals, put an end to cadmium exceedance, so that the rice grown, 20 yuan a pound is not expensive, 30 yuan a pound is appropriate, although the yield per mu has declined, the income of growers has risen, and farmers will easily pay the poll tax. As for those boring urban gangsters, as long as you can pay the poll tax normally, you can mix as much as you like, and if you get property through illegal means, then you will deal with the police, the internal security forces, and ruthless killing and punishment.
Finally, the two clarified the issue of state ownership of land. Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. As a kingdom, all the land is owned by the king, the land is strictly forbidden to buy and sell, the use of land adopts a long-term lease system, the lease period can reach three hundred years, the lease fee is handed over to the royal family every year, the royal land management agency will manage the land throughout the country, and can also give the meritorious minister the right to use a specific land for a specific period, whether it is through a lease or a gift, where the individual who obtains the land use right has the right to dispose of the land during the validity period, can be subleased or re-gifted, of course, can not be bought and sold.
Issued a notice of civil service examination to the country, all under the age of 30 with a university degree or above, can apply for the new Ming civil servant, once hired, civil servants will automatically obtain the new Ming national citizenship, enjoy the treatment of civil servants, and accept state supervision. The first batch of admissions was 50,000, mainly enriching the grassroots. When the news broke, the number of online applicants reached an incredible 2.8 million people. Among them, 200,000 people were selected and notified to come to the designated place at the designated time for the centralized examination.
Of these 200,000 test takers, in addition to the 50,000 people who were selected for merit, others saw the development momentum of Xinmingguo, and some chose to go to state-owned enterprises in Xinmingguo to become skilled workers, some entered the Xinming [***] team to become Chinese instructors, and a larger part became enlightenment teachers of Mengxue, and some were asked by private enterprises to become white-collar workers. To the disappointment of Chen Weizheng and Mo Cong, there are very few people who can choose to start a business in the new Ming Kingdom, and it seems that domestic education is still stuck in cultivating college students into small parts of a large machine, rather than cultivating them to become the leader, and the graduates lack the domineering and market sensitivity they should have.
This is the demand of the country, and there is no need for pioneering talents, but more for slaves.
