61_61522In fact, in the previous life in which Chen Wenhui lived, in that prosperous world, there was no agricultural tax, on the contrary, farmers still need government subsidies for farming, but the government has not collapsed, on the contrary, there are very rich. This shows that the commercial tax is actually much more important than the agricultural tax.

Chen Wenhui's thinking was influenced by her previous life, but Wan Shuhui didn't think about this, after Chen Wenhui's reminder, she had a super good business acumen, she immediately understood, nodded and said: "This is also, as long as there are people, business will be developed, in fact, we have not collected agricultural taxes for two or three years now, and we are not living well." All by virtue of our developed business tax. Speaking of which, the commercial development of our Qingchun City is the best among the four cities. By the way, we will have to consider the implementation of the poll tax in a few years. ”

As soon as she said this, Chen Wenhui had a headache. This poll tax, in fact, Chen Wenhui is very resistant. In this era, the poll tax was a matter of course, and it was another major tax pillar of the imperial court in addition to the land tax. However, Chen Wenhui did not have the concept of poll tax at all in his previous life, so Chen Wenhui could not accept it, but it is unreasonable not to levy a poll tax, and if the city wants to develop, it is always necessary to pay taxes well, and it cannot always subsidize money from its own business, after all, it is also to build a city to make a fortune, not to do charity.

Chen Wenhui said: "Didn't we also say that this poll tax will be collected in three years?" That is to say, there is still a year to go, is it too early to discuss? ”

Wan Shuhui laughed and said, "Hey, I've never seen a city lord like you. As soon as people heard that they could collect taxes, they were happy and eager to find a way to collect more and find a way to collect them in advance. Not only do you put it off, but you have to look like you don't want to take it. ”

Chen Wenhui also smiled, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. He said: "It is better to collect a poll tax on the talents who are residents of our Qingchun City. After the poll tax is paid, it is deposited in the zài bank for investment. This money is used to pay for medical care and education expenses in Qingchun City. Also, we could set up a social security department. The residents pay the money, and in the future, the money they pay will be returned to them as retirement wages. So that they are old. They don't need their children to raise them. They can use the money they saved in the government when they were young to support their retirement, okay? ”

Wan Shuhui's eyes lit up and said, "En." This is a really novel idea. We can discuss it, please do the math, and if it is feasible, our poll tax may be enough to pay for medical care. education, and pensions. ”

Chen Wenhui was taken aback and said, "Is the poll tax so heavy?" ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Of course. In the court of Great Chu, the proportion of poll tax is larger than that of land tax. ”

This is something that Chen Wenhui has never thought of.

Wan Shuhui said: "If this is implemented, we will really create a miracle." Da Chu, the people. are all thinking of ways to evade the poll tax. Concealing the population became the focus of discussion at the imperial court every year. However, our Qingchun City. There will be a situation where everyone is desperately trying to pay the poll tax. We also need to raise the bar. Those who are not our residents, who only come to live here, work, or are slaves, cannot pay the poll tax at all. ”

After speaking, Wan Shuhui couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this situation.

Chen Wenhui also laughed and said: "These are not a handful, we have to discuss them carefully." Now we have a lot more to do than that. First, the construction of the three acropolises will be further promoted. There are also roads in the four major cities, which should also be accelerated. I think that when this road is built, our business in Qingchun City will be more prosperous. Also, we've been preparing to go to the Spice Islands for development, which is a big deal, and I wish I could do it a day earlier, it's all money. Also, we need to think now that we can get more of the people who are building the roads to come to our city in Qingchun City, so that we can start building a city in Mindanao when we have a larger population. Unfortunately, none of this can be done yet. It's the New Year. You have to make good arrangements for the New Year. I also want to prepare for the arrival of officials, relatives, and parents in the capital. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "Lord Chen and Mrs. Chen can come, and our whole city is very happy. However, you should be the happiest, these major events, wait until the end of the New Year, and then plan well. Now it's all about getting ready for them. After all, you haven't seen Master Chen for more than two years, right? ”

Chen Wenhui showed a sweet smile and said, "No, I miss my father." Also, Sister Mingzhu is also coming over, I haven't seen her for a few years, and I really want to see her. ”

Wan Shuhui stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk about the affairs of the city in the city." I'll talk to those directors. You can rest assured and get ready to greet Lord Chen, right? When will they arrive? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "They have now arrived in Shin Kong City and are visiting Shin Kong City. It will take about three or four days to reach Qingchun City, and this time, they are all celebrating the New Year in Qingchun City. At that time, it was almost twenty-eight. Before that, my second brother and his family have to come over first, and they may be able to come over tomorrow. Hey, at this time, I still have a lot to prepare. It's really not enough time. ”

Wan Shuhui laughed. Coming out of Chen Wenhui's yard, Wan Shuhui looked at the flowers and trees outside the yard, and was a little sad for a while, after all, Chen Wenhui has parents and relatives, but what about herself? Although her parents and relatives were there, she still felt lonely, she didn't forget the situation when they sent her to Yan Songbai as a concubine. Naturally, I can't get close to them in my heart.

Suddenly, Wan Shuhui began to think about the things that Chen Wenhui had mentioned to her many times, whether she should start a family, whether she wanted to have a warm family. If nothing else, at least a few cute children. Just like Chen Wenhui's master Wu Lixia, she has been widowed for many years, but now she has Chen Wenhui, a good apprentice, and she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, because she has a happy business, and her family property is still very objective. Now she has two more lovely children. Now the mother is kind and filial, and it makes people's eyes hot to watch. Why don't you study like Wu Lixia and raise a few children, so you can be regarded as having a warm home in the future?

Wan Shuhui was in her heart, and walked towards the yamen, there are a lot of official affairs to deal with, Chen Wenhui can be the shopkeeper, she can't.

Gui Yuxia's home in Qingchun City is preparing a sumptuous New Year's food, and Gui Laohan and Gui's wife are guests at the home of the eldest daughter Gui Yuxia.

Gui Laohan said to Gui Yuxia: "In a few days, you should have a holiday, right?" If you have time, you should also spend time with the children. Also, how is Da Niu's business now? Such busy? ”

Gui Yuxia said to her father: "It's about to be a holiday, and now that my people are very capable, the burden on my body is much lighter, and I can spare more time to spend with my children." Big Bull's business is good. Now the flavor business has been opened. With the construction of the road in the four cities, he is actively preparing to go to the other three cities to buy fragrant flowers, so that he can further expand his business. More flavors are produced. ”

Old man Gui nodded. At this time, the big cow has come back, entered the house, only to see that he is wearing a royal blue satin brocade robe, the pattern of gold woven on it is the pine crane prolonging the year, it looks very noble, where is there still a little bit of rural boy look, who saw it, do not praise it, what a shrewd and capable outsider?

Da Niu has always respected the old man and the old man Gui, and he saluted first when he entered the door and chattered a few words. Gui Laohan asked, "How is your business now?" ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Gui Da, if he hadn't set up this farming workshop, where would I have been able to spare my hands to take care of the business." Now, his manor is well taken care of. This year's harvest has yielded a lot of fragrant flowers. I made a lot of fragrances, isn't it approaching the Chinese New Year? The price of flavors has risen, and I have made a lot of profits, and I am really going to have a fat year. ”

Gui Laohan was very happy to hear this. Asked: "Gui Da, this kid, doesn't tell me about his business, and I don't know what to do?" Since you can manage your manor well, it's not bad to think about it. Although I don't know much about him, I still know about the changes in my family. The food and clothing in this house are much richer. So, I guess, he must have made some money. ”

Da Niu said: "I think it should be profitable." Now his business is very good, not only our relatives' land has been handed over to him to manage, after our introduction, many people who do business, have handed over the land to him to take care of, he is very well managed, now the only worry is that there is too much business, but his manpower is limited, a lot of business wants to take over, but there is not enough manpower to do, so now he is actively buying people, hiring people. ”

Mrs. Gui said: "Didn't he bring his daughter-in-law's family together to do this business? I also bought a lot of Japanese slaves, why are there still a shortage of people? ”

Da Niu said: "It's not that he is short of people now, but those of us who do business." For example, my flavor workshop has a good business, and I have organized a lot of supplies, but there are not enough people to make so many flavors, doesn't this also make people anxious? There is a shortage of Japanese slaves in the market now, and it is really a gunslinger. Also, not only is my business with Guida like this, but also Luo Hu's, his sugar workshop, the business is very good, and he wants to expand, but there are not enough people. and Gui Er's milk room is also short of people, and Wei Gang's business is also short of people. ”

Old man Gui hurriedly said, "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? Since there is a shortage of people, we are not short of people. We have nothing else, but there are many poor relatives. Why don't you write to Da Chu's family and ask more people to come here to work? ”

The big bull's eyes lit up. (To be continued).
