Rest?

That's impossible.

Who wants to miss the chance to witness a miracle?

Of course, they also helped Guo Dan a lot, Kou Zhuansha and Zhu Yaoyuan helped sort out the data, while Aunt Xu and Guo Dan formulated the entire plan based on the calculated results.

At dawn.

Guo Dan sat on the corridor with the three beauties of Yaxing, enjoying a delicious breakfast, listening to the birds singing, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the breeze, and the peak of his son-in-law, but that's it!

"What about this beauty, but they all sleep out, and occasionally stay up all night, it doesn't matter, but you can't do it all the time, it will be old and decrepit."

After eating, Guo Dan leaned on the back of the chair, put one hand on Kou Liansha's shoulder, and talked eloquently, and suddenly he turned his head to look at Zhu Yaoyao who was sitting next to Aunt Xu, "Especially Fangchen, you are not as good as the two of them, they are already the sons-in-law of the Golden House, no matter what, there is a handsome and extraordinary man like me guarding them, you are not married yet, you must take care of yourself." ”

Zhu Yao's delicate cheeks flushed with a hint of redness, and she was silent.

"Can't even eat to stop your mouth?" Aunt Xu frowned slightly.

From yesterday to today, she felt that she and Guo Dan were already old husbands and wives, and she really didn't understand why Guo Dan could say it so naturally.

Kou Zhuansha smiled helplessly: "I think his nonsense will never be changed." ”

"What nonsense, I'm serious." Guo Dan said disdainfully: "You are really selfish, you are so happy, you are satisfied, you don't care about other people's dust, I look down on you." ”

Aunt Xu said: "Then you can also enter the Fangchen family, anyway, you can enter the family infinitely!" ”

"Haha... Madame, you're making a big joke. Guo Dan snorted, and quickly changed the topic: "That's right! Why didn't I see the little uncle come to the door and beat me, this doesn't make sense. ”

"Poof!"

Aunt Xu couldn't help laughing, but she glared at Guo Dan.

Zhu Yaoyuan was curious: "Why did the little uncle come to the door to beat you?" ”

Guo Dan said: "You don't know, in fact, the little uncle has been controlled by a big witch... Oops...! ”

He suddenly clutched his calves and groaned in pain.

Zhu Yaoyuan glanced at Aunt Xu, and saw Aunt Xu leisurely looking at the scenery outside the corridor with a teacup, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

"You deserve it!"

Kou Liansha scolded with a smile, and said with a straight face: "Husband, go and rest, you have to enter the palace to face the saint later." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm going to rest first, and you need to rest early. ”

This lady still has to listen to what she says.

He stood up and deliberately limped home.

Aunt Xu shook her head, and expressed sympathy to Kou Zhuansha: "It's really hard for you." ”

Kou Liansha pursed her lips and smiled: "Fortunately, I will have a big sister to share with me in the future." ”

Aunt Xu never thought that Kou Zhuansha would come out with such a sentence, and she couldn't help but fly her cheeks and glare: "I see that you have also learned badly from him." ”

......

And over there, Guo Dan returned home and did not go to bed, but asked Xi'er to serve him in the bath, and helped him pinch it by the way, and when he came out of the bath, he was already in good spirits.

Self-discipline and consistent exercise give him enough energy to deal with these complex and heavy tasks.

.....

Qianqing Palace.

"Implementing a new deal in Shandong?"

Wanli was slightly stunned.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the current strength of the Senate is very limited, and we must concentrate all our forces to break through from one place." ”

Wanli said: "I also know that I did this before, but it can't solve the current problem, and now even the people are against the new deal, is it not the same as the people in Hejian Mansion?" ”

Guo Dan said: "But if half of the agricultural taxes in Shandong are exempted, I believe that the people of Shandong will be willing to support the new policy." ”

"Half of the agricultural tax?"

Wanli gasped in fright and said, "Do you know how much half is?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The grain tax revenue in Shandong is 2.8 million stones, and half of the tax grain is 1.4 million stones, which is about 1 million taels in silver. ”

Wanli actually didn't know how much, when he heard one million taels, he couldn't help but tremble, and said excitedly: "Didn't I tell you, this treasury is not rich in the first place, and the taxes collected are enough for ordinary use, let alone one million taels, even if it is one hundred thousand taels, for the treasury, it is indispensable, and I can't say that this million taels will come out of it." ”

Speaking of the back, the fat house was aggrieved, and he was afraid that Guo Dan would let him pay the money.

It's not appropriate.

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, if you want to take it, you must give it first, and if you want to get the new deal, you must pay some price, because no matter how much the tax increase is, it will always be unacceptable, but the tax reduction will always make people happy to accept, and based on the tax revenue set by Taizu at the beginning, it is very difficult to operate the agricultural tax."

However, this is only one thing, and secondly, in addition to the prescribed agricultural tax, the local government has added various taxes, such as the fire consumption tax, and the temporary showdown tax, etc., and the people have actually paid a lot of taxes.

The problem now is that the tax system in our country is very chaotic, unorganized, and difficult to change, and it seems to have become a dead knot. ”

Wanli nodded thoughtfully.

The tax system set by Taizu at the beginning is indeed relatively low, which is obviously not enough, not to mention the central finance, according to that tax system, the local government is also very tight, which is why after the fire consumption tax came out, the imperial court knew that it was exploiting the people, but it did not stop it, because the local government wanted money, and the central government could not give money, so they could only let them find a way to make money by themselves.

However, low tax revenue can only meet the normal operation of the country, once a war starts, it will come to apportionment of taxes, which is equivalent to the prescribed tax revenue, and it is compulsory to pay taxes, which is very fatal, this is too temporary, too arbitrary, and completely unregulated.

This chaotic fiscal system makes it difficult to increase the tax revenue of the national treasury.

But I can't change it.

Zhang Juzheng's reform only simplified the procedures and facilitated the collection of taxes, and the essence did not change.

Wanli asked, "Then in your opinion, how to solve this problem?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The suggestion of the lowly position is to burn this dead knot with fire, and then set up another complete tax system to replace it, which is also the most cost-effective method." ”

Wanli widened his eyes and said, "Another set of tax systems? ”

Guo Dan nodded, and said: "For example, replacing agricultural taxes with commercial taxes and reducing agricultural taxes will inevitably lead to surplus grain in every family, under normal circumstances, the people will sell these surplus grains in the market in exchange for the materials they need, which will make the trading market very prosperous, and the prosperity of the market will inevitably bring more commercial taxes, so we can reduce and reduce agricultural taxes and put them in commercial taxes, and formulate a more perfect commercial tax system." ”

Wanli nodded, this idea was more in line with his plan, that is, to set up another mountain, and said: "It's not that the imperial court has not discussed commercial taxes, and this opposition is not small, and it is difficult to implement." ”

Guo Dan said: "By the way, the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes can also solve this problem. ”

Wanli sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "If you want to reduce half of the agricultural tax, you must pay taxes to Yinuoya in accordance with the new policy, if this part of the tax belongs to the treasury tax, then according to the lowly calculation, in fact, the treasury only lost about 500,000 taels of tax revenue, because many tax-free land also have to start paying taxes, and the government of the entire Shandong region will lose a full 500,000 taels of tax revenue, after all, even the fire consumption tax is gone."

In comparison, the biggest loss is actually the local government, then the local government will inevitably lose most of its power, without the protection of the government, and at the same time the people are on our side, the local gentry will also be powerless, which provides a good basis for the new tax to be reformulated.

To put it simply, Your Majesty gathers the power of the national treasury to first attack a certain area, completely disintegrate the relationship between the government, the gentry, and the common people, and then establish a new tax system in the local area by the Senate. ”

In fact, it was not the gentry, nor the government, nor the common people who hindered the New Deal, but it was precisely the relationship between these three that must be broken.

This is like burning money to compete for the market, as long as the market is in hand, it is not the brother who has the final say, the money will still come back, but now the market is exchanged for power.

Wanli was a little moved, but he still felt sorry for the money, and said: "Even if it is 500,000 taels, it is not a lot, if I can't make up this tax, the courtiers will not agree." ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty don't worry, if it is changed to other regions, it is estimated that the loss of a while is unavoidable, but in the case of Shandong, the lowly dare to guarantee that the money can be earned back immediately, according to the lowly estimate, the business in Shandong will soon usher in a leap, because Shandong is the intersection of canals, and at the same time has an estuary, with these two points alone, the potential of Shandong is unlimited." ”

In fact, this is only one of the reasons, there is another reason, Shandong is in the middle and upper reaches, half of the agricultural tax will be exempted, and the loss will not be very large, if you choose the Jiangsu region, let alone exempt half, you will not dare to exempt thirty percent, because the tax grain over there is too heavy, Guo Dan is afraid to look at it.

Wanli frowned and said: "Doesn't that mean that the new deal is only suitable for the Shandong region, and it will not work in the capital of other states." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, at present, this is the case, because in terms of the current commercial development trend, Shandong has a very strong geographical advantage, and most state capitals still have to take money to fill in if they want to reduce or reduce agricultural taxes."

But what Your Majesty needs now is success, which is difficult at the beginning, as long as you succeed in Shandong, it will prove that Your Majesty's new policy is good, then they have nothing to say, as for whether it can be popularized throughout the country, we don't say, they actually don't know. When His Majesty has more financial resources, there will be other ways to promote the New Deal. ”

He is not a politician, he is a capitalist, his advice must be his needs, he has not yet reached the point of "worrying about the worries of the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", this has to be done step by step.

His need was for Wanli to further assert imperial power and provide him with more protection.

And the New Deal was already a landmark event in the assertion of imperial power.

As long as the New Deal succeeds in Shandong, it will inevitably bluff those ministers, and the imperial power will be extended, which in turn will bring more wealth to Guo Dan, which in turn will help Wanli further assert the imperial power.

At this point, their emperor and merchant combination must fight together and advance and retreat together, if Wanli takes a step back in the court, then Guo Dan will definitely have to retreat and must not advance.

Wanli is also eager to assert the imperial power, don't think about it later, take the first step, and nod and say: "Okay, I will try it in Shandong first, according to what you say." ”
