Chapter 364: Pick up a chess piece and hit yourself in the foot
This person is still the same group, and the same thing is true, but the result is completely different.
This is puzzling for many people.
But the reason is not that there are more taxes and less taxes, nor is it about character, but because of fairness.
One of the most important reasons why taxes could not be collected in ancient times was because there were many tax-free households in all dynasties.
Even if there is only one tax-free account, then it will definitely not be able to play.
If there are tax-exempt households, then if you don't evade taxes, you can't compete with those tax-exempt households at all, and you will inevitably find a way to obtain tax exemptions, once you have tax exemptions, then you can annex land unlimitedly, even if you can't get tax exemptions, you will try your best to evade taxes.
Once this becomes a consensus, then whoever pays the tax will be stupid.
Weihui Mansion is the only one that has no tax-exempt households, unless you don't make money, such as children, you don't have to pay taxes, of course, beggars don't have to pay, you would rather be a beggar than pay taxes, then Guo Dan also admitted.
Brother, you're so cross.
Moreover, everyone pays the same tax, which is very fair.
The merchant himself only needs to pay more than one or two taxes a year, but the merchant has to be responsible for the tax of his employees, which will not cause everyone to resent it, because when the tax is paid every year, the merchant carries a cart of silver to pay the tax.
People don't think they earn more and pay less.
Fairness needs to be maintained and supervised, and the supervision model of Weihui Mansion is actually the people themselves.
Guo Dan didn't send anyone to keep an eye on it.
Weihui Mansion is a contract system, if a businessman hires someone not to make a deed, it is an illegal act, not protected by the law, which harms the interests of employees, if the employee goes to sue, the employer will face a heavy fine, but once the deed is made, there is a certificate, then you have to pay taxes.
This leads to high cost and higher risk of tax evasion, stealing one or two head taxes, there is no need for this, in case it is discovered, it is really a loss to grandma's house, but to steal a lot of head taxes, it is difficult to hide.
Everyone has calculated this account, and the most money-saving result is to pay taxes honestly, not a penny less, some time ago, when Zhou Feng was settling the account, it was really repeated many times, they were not afraid of paying more, they were afraid of paying less.
As a businessman, Guo Dan, he makes any rules, the main consideration is cost and risk, he has accurately calculated, to arrive at this system, he is very confident in this, at least for now.
Therefore, in the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military were all concerned about the tax payment of Weihui Mansion, but Yinuo Yaxing was busy building the money village and did not care about it.
They must connect Weihui Mansion with the capital before the year, and then exchange the taxes directly from the capital, as for Nanjing, Taiyuan, Jizhou and other places, but step by step, he is not in a hurry.
And the key to the money bank lies in the money ticket.
The Ming Dynasty already had a very complete paper money system, and a lot of paper money was issued in the early Ming Dynasty, but as a result, an economic crisis was issued.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not lack this technology.
Guo Dan only gave some suggestions in terms of details, and he basically handed this matter over to Kou Zhuansha, because Kou Zhuansha was more meticulous than him.
He still does what he is good at.
For example, auditing.
At present, Xinxing is only serving some old customers, and has not said that it will be completely promoted, because many small and medium-sized businessmen feel that this is not cost-effective, and only some big businessmen are willing to hire Xinxing to collect some data, and the main business is more or less related to Guo Dan.
Guo Dan can actually be counted as a seven-seven-eighty-eight without looking at it, but he saw the three watches.
Because he is here today, the audit is just a cover-up, and he is waiting for someone.
And this person is Liu Zongcheng.
At the time of the third watch, Liu Zongcheng came to Chen's house on time.
"Old man, this time flies so fast, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, I wonder if the old man is in good health?"
Since the last time the two joined forces and destroyed the four major dental banks, the two have really never met, you must know that Guo Danke is still a shareholder of Liujia Dental Bank, this is the end of the year, and you have to check the accounts!
"Thanks to you, it's not bad."
Liu Zongcheng said with a smile.
Guo Dan asked, "The old man can't be talking back, right?" ”
"Absolutely from the bottom of my heart."
Liu Zongcheng said with emotion: "To tell you the truth, two years ago, the old man had already looked down on life and death, because the old man thought that the change could support the tooth walk, until you appeared, the old man felt that the change was not competent, and this will to survive was much stronger than before." ”
"I see."
Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile.
Liu Zongcheng took out a book of accounts and handed it over, "This is this year's account of my dental store, you can take a look." ”
"You can see this later."
Guo Dan lightly pressed the account book, and said to Liu Zongcheng: "The old man is worthy of the Taishan Beidou of our tooth line, and within this year, he has integrated the official teeth of the entire capital, which is amazing, powerful." ”
He's really here for this, hmph, I thought he really didn't care at all. Liu Zongcheng waved his hand again and again and said: "If someone else says this, the old man may be a little proud, but when you say this, the old man is really ashamed, I haven't seen you for a year, you have contracted the next state capital, alas, but it is really better than the blue." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Guo Dan and said, "Actually, the old man has no intention of hiding this from you, alas... I can't hide it if I want to, but I think that with your current status, I won't care about this. ”
Guo smiled lightly: "I care very much, I have always let Xinxing keep an eye on this matter." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Zongcheng frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what you think?" ”
Guo Dan confessed: "I am a little dissatisfied. ”
Liu Zongcheng pondered a little and said, "Although you have shares in our dental shop, if you take a stake in our dental shop, just to ensure that our dental shop can't make more money than you, it will be too domineering." ”
Guo Dan pretended to be anxious and said: "This is really a big misunderstanding, I invested in your tooth business, of course, I am optimistic about your tooth business, you make a lot of money, I am too late to be happy, how can I be dissatisfied." ”
Liu Zongcheng was puzzled: "Then why are you dissatisfied?" ”
"I'm not satisfied, it must be because I make less money."
Guo Dan coughed lightly and continued: "I found that after the old man integrated the official teeth of the capital, he didn't make too many moves, and he didn't go further, which made me quite dissatisfied. ”
"One step further?"
Liu Zongcheng was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Of course, it is to continue to integrate the official teeth of other state capitals, such as Linqing and Nanjing, the two most prosperous places, it is useless to control the capital alone, and the transaction is to exchange between the two places." ”
Liu Zongcheng was immediately stunned, dare to love you because I think my integration is too slow! said: "If it can be integrated, of course the old man also wants to, but this thing is easy to say, and it is difficult to do it." At the beginning, the four official teeth did not integrate the teeth of Linqing and Nanjing.
This strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if these local tooth people can give the old decay a few thin noodles, it is already very good. ”
Guo smiled lightly and said nothing.
Liu Zongcheng frowned and said, "Do you have a way?" ”
Guo Dan's expression froze, and he said solemnly: "This is the purpose of inviting the old man here today, I hope that the Liu family can speed up the pace and integrate the official teeth in other places." ”
Liu Zongcheng hurriedly asked, "I don't know what magic method you have?" ”
"Tariffs."
Guo Dan said: "I believe that the old man should also know that now the officials in the state capitals around the country hate me to the bone and are trying to kill me, and the old man can take advantage of this." ”
"Take advantage of the situation?"
The more Liu Zongcheng listened, the more confused he became.
Guo Dan nodded and said: "If you want to rectify me, you must first start against the workshop of Weihui Mansion, as long as the goods of Weihui Mansion cannot be sold, then I will be finished." The old man can use this to give advice to the officials of the DPRK and China, asking the state governments to adjust tariffs for a certain category or categories of goods according to local conditions.
Just like our Weihui Mansion, our Weihui Mansion is short of food, so the grain entering Weihui Mansion is tax-free, but if you go out, you have to pay very high taxes, and it is basically impossible to get out.
In the same way, in order to prevent the cheap goods of Weihui Mansion from hitting the local market, tariffs can be adjusted appropriately to maintain local prices and ensure the competitiveness of those small workshops.
As long as those officials take your advice, then you have a chance to keep the other state capitals under control. ”
Liu Zongcheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Guo Dan asked, "Didn't the old man understand?" ”
"No ......!"
Liu Zongcheng was surprised: "Old decay is just... Just don't understand why you're doing this? ”
"It's simple."
Guo smiled lightly: "If the old man only controls the official teeth in the capital, then our cooperation will become meaningless, what I need is that you can integrate all the official teeth." ”
Liu Zongcheng said: "You don't even hesitate to hurt yourself for this? ”
Guo Dan said: "This shows how sincere I am." ”
Liu Zongcheng looked at him for a moment, and then smiled: "You and I are both businessmen, do you think the old man will believe this?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Guo Dan opened his hand slightly, and then said: "Let's put it this way, compared to those small profits, I am more eager to be the one who makes the rules, and the current rules are no rules, the official teeth are corrupt in various places, and there is no order, which is very unfavorable to me, the official teeth must be integrated and formulate a very perfect set of rules, even if the rules do not seem to be beneficial to me, but as long as there is a set of rules, it is better than now." ”
Liu Zongcheng pondered his eyebrows, but the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt in his heart, because he couldn't fully understand that if he were Guo Dan, he would never do this, this is simply lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, there are so many big workshops in Weihui Mansion, you suddenly set up a tariff, but you really want to die.
After a long time, Liu Zongcheng suddenly looked at Guo Dan and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, if you help me integrate the official teeth, aren't you afraid that after my power grows, I will turn against you at that time?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "We are cooperating now, not because of trust, nor because of friendship, but because cooperation is beneficial to both of us, if one day, there is a conflict of interests between us, then we will naturally have to separate, but now we must work together to make money." Isn't it ridiculous that two beggars sit together and quarrel over what should be divided among the million taels that may be in the future? ”
Liu Zongcheng laughed and said: "That's right, that's right, this money hasn't been earned yet, what do you want to do." ”
Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "That's right." ”
