In the face of Guo Dan's questioning, the talented Tan Xiu was speechless.

He... He really didn't know how to answer.

Because, he doesn't have this concept at all.

Guo Dan has been to many countries, but no matter which country it is, there is one word on his lips, and that word is "development".

Develop!

Keep it up!

Keep evolving!

If the economy grows below 6 percent, it is as if the sky is about to fall.

The top also complains, and the bottom also complains.

What's going on, what the hell are you guys doing?

There will be countless questions.

If at that time, who wants to change the law for ten years, and the economy is standing still, it is estimated that people will send him to Mars.

It's nothing more than that!

However, in ancient times, there was almost no word for "development", and the emperor also said that he would make great efforts to make the country prosperous, not to make great efforts to develop.

What is Governance?

To put it simply, it is the art of domination and management.

It has nothing to do with economic growth.

If we insist on economic growth, it is limited to the increase or decrease of tax revenues in the national treasury.

After a while, Tan Xiu said, "You... After all, you are just a state capital, and Zhang Ju is aimed at the whole country. ”

"Then adding one Kaifeng Mansion is not enough to add one Zhangde Mansion, not enough to add one Huaiqing Mansion, although these three mansions are not as fast as Weihui Mansion, but in the end they are also growing." Guo Dan asked again.

“......！”

Talking about cultivation is completely speechless.

Huang Daxiao and Cui Youli looked anxious, but they just didn't know what to do.

It's not that they're poor in words, it's that they're entangled.

Refuted Guo Dan.

That is undoubtedly admiring Zhang Juzheng.

Opposing Zhang Juzheng is to respect Guo Dan.

What a multiple-choice question!

In this entanglement, he could only remain silent.

The candidates saw that everyone in the literary world was silent about this, and they couldn't help but believe that what Guo Dan said was right.

I saw Guo Dan pick up the thin stick in his hand and draw it on the black coil, only to see a round white paper falling.

There are four big characters written in the circle--- which are ordinary.

"On Zhang Juzheng's reform alone."

Guo Dan's wrist flicked, and the thin stick pointed at the small pointed tip, "Except for this, what is left is ordinary, and why is this point particularly prominent, because the unified service can save a lot of loss and tear, and save a lot of energy and time for the court and the people." The energy and time saved can also allow the court and the people to create more valuable things, which is also a kind of growth, and the rest of the reforms are just standing still. So what's the conclusion? ”

The thin stick in his hand was slashing under the full authority, and a kind of rectangular white paper fell, only to see an arrow symbol under the circle, and the arrow pointed to a line of words--- it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Guo smiled lightly: "The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." This is my evaluation of Zhang Juzheng's change. ”

"Your Excellency, don't make any assertions yet."

Li Zhen shook his hands a few times and said: "I admit that what you said is also reasonable, maybe Zhang Juzheng's change is not as good as everything Your Excellency has done in Weihui Mansion, but it can't be said that the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it."

The previous student was right, at that time, land annexation was serious, and many landlords evaded taxes, resulting in the burden of tax revenue being shifted to the people. ”

He is different from Cui Youli, he doesn't have so many concerns, he just thinks about things, he used to hate Zhang Juzheng very much, his friend He Xinyin was killed by Zhang Juzheng, but at the same time he also admires Zhang Juzheng's reform, in fact, the two are not contradictory.

Guo Dan smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if the layman has ever heard of our joint-stock system?" ”

"Of course I did, and I did." Li Zhen was curious again: "But what is the relationship between the two?" ”

Guo Dan didn't rush to answer, and said to everyone: "Have you ever heard of it?" ”

Almost all of them nodded.

They have been here for so long, and the object of their greatest attention is Guo Dan, how could they not have heard of it.

"Good!"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Then I won't introduce it again, when establishing a shareholding system, the first thing is that everyone needs to invest money and buy shares." What kind of shares, is a paper contract, which means that everyone spent thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels to buy a piece of paper back, do you think this is ridiculous? ”

Everyone nodded silently.

They who have never done business really think this is outrageous!

"But why are those shrewd businessmen willing to throw money in?" Guo Dan waited for a while, and seeing that no one of the candidates answered, he looked at Li Zhen again and asked, "What do the laymen think?" ”

Li Zhen said: "That's because they believe that Your Excellency can make more money for them." ”

"The layman is right."

Guo Dan nodded and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the reason why they are willing to buy and spend money to buy this piece of paper is because they believe that this piece of paper will become more valuable, which is a kind of investment."

But if the people around me, such as Chenchen, take their money, go to eat, drink, and have fun, and go to find a concubine, will they still be willing to invest money? ”

Li Zhen said: "Of course not. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "The layman has already revealed where Zhang Juzheng failed the most. ”

Li Zhen was confused when he heard this, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Let's first analyze from Zhang Juzheng's point of view, what is his reason for fiscal reform? As you said before, land annexation is serious, and there are too many tax evasions, which can't help but hurt the interests of the country and the people, so Zhang Ju is launching this series of reforms, the purpose of which is to solve these problems. And his solution is to transfer the interests of some people to the treasury. ”

Li Zhen said: "Don't you think this is wrong? ”

"Don't be anxious, and listen to me."

Guo Dan said: "Although they have to pay taxes in terms of reason, obligations, and laws, but from the perspective of those landlords, they will think why do we pay more taxes, and what can we get if we pay money?" ”

Zhao Qinghe finally couldn't help it and nodded.

Elder brother! You're so right.

Huang Daxiao couldn't help it, and said: "This tax payment is an obligation, how can you still ask for returns?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Paying taxes is an obligation, but this obligation also has a big premise, if Taizu did not expel the Mongols, did not give the people land, did not give the people a stable life, try to ask who would be willing to pay taxes, I think Taizu is embarrassed to let people pay taxes." ”

Huang Daxiao said: "Based on this premise, I can ask that tax evasion is illegal, do you support them to break the law?" ”

"I didn't say that."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "I'm just saying that Zhang Juzheng's methods are not clever, there have been many changes since ancient times, all of which are aimed at land annexation, but without exception, they all fail." And the reason is that people are selfish, and everyone yearns for a better life.

This is the reason why the landlords are reluctant to pay taxes, why they annex the land, is to get more, in fact, not only them, the people also want to earn more money, the ministers also want to be promoted every day, you are the same, Tong Sheng wants to be admitted to Xiucai, Xiucai wants to be admitted to the people, and the people want to be admitted to the Jinshi. Therefore, they tried every means to annex land, even breaking the law.

The fact is that they risk their lives to take the land, and you want to take away the profits with a word, and they want to live back to their old life, will they be willing? ”

Huang Daxiao said: "This can't be tolerated whether they want to or not." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "If they really can't tolerate whether they want to or not, then why did Zhang Juzheng fail, then why did Wang Anshi fail to change the law, and why has this problem never been solved by means of changing the law?" The law has always stipulated that they have to pay taxes, and they have broken the law before and have not paid them, and if you change the law, they will take the initiative to pay taxes? Maybe at this time, they will pay, but only for a while, they will continue to break the law. ”

Jiang Yinglan said suddenly: "What you said is not unreasonable, then do you have a solution?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I have already said that our academy does not provide any specific answers, we only analyze and provide some ideas, not in their position, not in their politics, the academy can only put forward academic suggestions, but how to do it depends on the ministers of the DPRK and China." ”

Jiang Yinglan nodded and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Guo Dan turned his head and faced the candidates again, it can be seen that he has been in the classroom, he is mainly facing the candidates and customers, and said: "Speaking of which, we have made it clear why the landlords are unwilling to pay taxes, even if it is a legal tax, they are not willing to pay, the reason is that they merge in order to get more profits, how can they be willing to give away this profit, if they have this awareness, then they will not annex the land." ”

The candidates nodded their heads.

It's not hard to understand.

Guo Dan said: "However, the same landlord, why do the landlords of Weihui Mansion pay taxes, but they are all very active, even a grain of rice is not a lot." I admit that in the beginning, I forced them to pay taxes, and if they were given free choice, they would also choose not to pay taxes, and who would be afraid of a lack of food.

But in the past two years, they have not found a way to evade taxes, and they have been very active in paying taxes, why, because they pay taxes instead of getting them more, they don't have a perverted obsession with land, they annex land, they just want to get more, live a better life, if they can get more by paying taxes, then of course they are willing to pay taxes.

Back to the joint-stock system, in fact, there is no difference between the essence of the joint-stock system and the tax system, they spend money to buy a piece of paper, just like people spend money to buy a household registration, but they are willing to invest money in it, because they think they will get more.

Zhang Juzheng's reform is only to divert the interests of this part of the people to the treasury, although this is just, right, and natural, but Zhang Juzheng did not provide them with a way to pursue a better life, so ......! ”

Speaking of this, Guo Dan pointed to the black coil again, "Based on the fact that the total output has not changed, then the landlord can only make up this part of the profits from others, which is difficult to make up for from luxury!"

Then it will become a big fish eating small fish, and a small fish eating dried shrimp, which will increase the burden on the people. It can be seen from this that Zhang Juzheng's reform cannot fundamentally solve the land annexation, nor does it bring a better life to the people, but will bring new contradictions and new problems, so His Majesty's abolition of Zhang Juzheng's reform is very wise and decisive. ”

Lick the dog!

Cui Youli and they all despised Guo Dan.

It's really TM really able to lick it, support reform, it's wise and powerful, and abolish reform is wise and decisive.

It's up to you to decide how to feel emotional.

They are really convinced, after this whole set, who would dare to go to Wanli to impeach him, whether you impeach him or impeach Wanli.

And they all know that Wanli will definitely support Guo Dan.

Because Wanli has always lacked a firm statement for Zhang Juzheng's reforms, and Guo Dan provided a perfect reason for Wanli.

One candidate said, "And what is the idea you offer?" ”

"I've already pointed it out."

Guo Dan pointed to the black coil and said: "Only when this circle is constantly expanding, can we fundamentally solve the problem of land annexation and taxation by bringing more benefits to the imperial court, the landlords, and the people."

The road of Weihui Mansion is to develop business, you should have been to Weihui Mansion, no one in Weihui Mansion now cares about what land annexation, no matter how much you merge, no one will say more, I open a workshop, it may be more profitable, the landlord is to produce food for us, so Weihui Mansion does not restrict the landlord from annexing land, but if you don't produce food, then you have to lose money. ”
