After these squires left, Guo Dan looked at Tong Li again and said with a smile: "Tong Team, if you have any opinions, you can say it, after all, I don't know much about this." ”

Of course, he had communicated with Tong Li about this beforehand, but Tong Li was more silent.

He really couldn't understand Tong Li.

Tong Li was a little surprised and said, "You don't know how to do it?" ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I'm a businessman, and I don't know much about politics. ”

Tong Li sighed: "In this way, I'm just a martial artist, and I don't understand these things, you just decide." ”

Yang Feixu on the side said lightly: "If there is a problem, immediately report it to the envoy of the town, this is a wise self-preservation, and the Tong team is really having a good time." ”

It was an instant slap in the face.

Tong Li looked at Yang Feixu awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "You really haven't changed at all." As he spoke, he said to Guo Dan again: "I was just ordered to be stationed here, and if there is something to do, I should report it to the top, you shouldn't mind." ”

Is this their routine? Guo Danhu glanced suspiciously, then nodded again, "When... Of course not, hehe. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The squires were not as low-key as Tong Li, and they ignored them, and when they returned, they immediately began a heated discussion.

Although they all uphold the patriarchal law, their demands are different, some of the squires are purely loyal to the patriarchal law, the ancestors are a kind of belief of theirs, and some are because of power, the patriarchal law gives the squires power, and the rest are really thinking for the villagers.

If they could, of course they wouldn't agree, what they like most is to be complacent, not to change, not to change.

But in the current situation, they can't help but make changes, because it is not the government that has taken over here, but the businessmen, and the tacit understanding formed with the government will naturally have to be changed, which is also a matter of course.

After weighing it again, they finally decided to agree to Guo Dan's conditions, after all, Guo Dan did not ask for the abolition of the patriarchal law, but both sides made some compromises.

On the second day, they reached a preliminary verbal agreement with Guo Dan.

But this must be implemented quickly, because the system is not clear, and businessmen who are not familiar with Guo Dan do not dare to invest here.

Therefore, in the following days, after discussing the specific details, the two parties signed a contract, the first of which stipulated that the contract should be respected.

But this is actually not for Guo Dan to let the squires limit himself, but for his own sake, he is not an official at all, although he now has great power in Weihui Mansion, but he can't order others to do anything as an official, and he can't always throw money, if the name is not right, everyone will feel awkward, he has to give himself a tool to exercise power.

The contract is his tool, he writes all the systems and rules into a contract, in this way, he will be famous for his work, and Tong Li and they can also do things according to the contract, and they don't need to ask Guo Dan about everything.

This is very important to him.

Therefore, in the future, those who do not abide by the contract in Weihui Mansion will be regarded as a felony, but they will not be punished with torture instruments, because both parties agree that neither party is allowed to torture people, of course, this premise is that you cannot commit crimes against the country, if you want to rebel, or insult the emperor, then you don't need the court to take action, Guo Danxian will give you Ling Chi, aren't you harming people.

And the punishment system, first of all, is a heavy fine; Secondly, if the situation is serious, you will face prison time; Finally, a notice will be posted telling everyone that if the person is not trustworthy, all contracts with him will not be recognized.

At the same time, it was ensured that the right of judgment belonged to the squire, and whoever was to serve as the judge provided that he was a squire, so the contract specifically named such a squire as a "legal gentry".

Because Guo Dan does not have the power to appoint and dismiss officials, there is no government here, where are the officials, the system he proposed cannot represent the imperial court, nor will it be recognized by the imperial court, so he cannot be called a judge, at most it can only be explained as a housekeeper invited by you.

Since the squire is the only one, the selection system of the squire naturally becomes very important.

However, the contract ensures that the selection system of the squire is not changed, which is not won by Wang Yu and them, but Guo Dan does not want to change the system of the squire, because the squire is not hereditary, and the township itself elects a person of high moral integrity to serve.

If you have credibility, you can do it.

In addition to this, the litigation system has been established.

This litigation system consisted of three divisions, the gentry, the court of justice, and the officers and soldiers.

This is actually the civil law system, not the common law system that Guo Dan is used to, because Guo Dan feels that it is too cumbersome and inefficient, he can't afford it, and there is no basis for the implementation of the common law system in this era.

According to the civil law system, the "legal gentry" do not have the power to intervene in legislation, they can only judge according to the laws and regulations, and they do not have the right to interpret the law.

And this power is actually in Guo Dan's hands, but he didn't say it, but that's what he did.

On the pretext of fiscal restoration, he enacted a series of commercial laws, such as strict restrictions on the price of grain and the exemption of all taxes related to agriculture, including fisheries.

But at the same time, the personal income tax is added, but this is not collected proportionally, and a unified standard is unified, and the employed person pays one dollar per month, which is equivalent to each person only needs to pay 1.2 taels of silver a year, but this tax is contracted by the employer, and the employer only needs to pay 1.2 taels per year, and the self-employed also pay so much.

It's very egalitarian.

Of course, this is beneficial to businessmen, businessmen make so much money, so they pay such a little tax, because Guo Dan wants to attract businessmen to come to invest, and it is impossible to tax according to the proportion, so businessmen will not come.

This was of course advantageous to the landlords, but the landlords were not as happy as the merchants, because most of them used to pay no taxes and collected rent, but now that the tenant farming system has been abolished, they have to hire people to farm the land and pay their taxes.

In terms of actual operation, they are at a loss, but you must know that Guo Dan can collect their taxes, and it is illegal for them to evade taxes and evade taxes. The advantage is that the land rightly belongs to their family, and Guo Dan not only does not restrict annexation, but encourages it.

There are gains and losses.

The employment contract without individual income tax will be regarded as an illegal act, not to mention tax evasion and tax evasion, once it is found, not only will you have to pay the tax, but you will have to pay a fine of 20 times the amount of the back tax.

This is to put an end to tax evasion.

And this must be very effective, because the tax is relatively low, the merchant will never take this risk for this tax, this account is too easy to calculate, you hire ten people, a year is 12 taels of tax, if you don't pay the 12 taels, once it is found, you have to fine you 240 taels.

Guo Dan will not send someone to collect taxes, because this is a high cost, and it is easy to have disputes, it is employers and self-employed people who pay taxes themselves at the end of each year, because the imperial court collects taxes in February, Guo Dan has to collect taxes first, and of course he collects taxes, because he contracted the taxes of Weihui Mansion.

If you don't pay, that's okay, but he will send the account office to random checks from time to time, as long as one is caught, it doesn't matter if many tax evaders are caught, and the punishment is enough for you, after all, you can hit ten of them.

This is a pure businessman mentality, I don't mind if you are opportunistic, let's play, if you can steal success, then I will admit it, I will make up for this tax, but I am going to catch you, hum, then you are finished, punish you to death.

Exemption from customs duties, parking tax, reduction and exemption of most of the city tax, but at the same time added the deed tax, because it is based on the contract, the whole system is also maintaining the credibility of the contract, which of course requires a cost, is to collect the deed tax on the deed tax of one thousandth of the amount on the contract, 10,000 taels will only charge you ten taels of tax, which is really low compared to today's tax at every turn.

Many of these deeds are tax-exempt, such as employment contracts.

But there is a deed tax that is very expensive, that is, the land deed tax, this land deed tax contains two points, one is the land conversion tax, if you convert the land into any land, build a workshop or a house, you must pay the tax at ten times the land price, and you also need to pay the conversion tax equivalent to the land price every year.

In other words, you can build a house or a workshop on it, but you first have to pay a huge sum of money, and every year you have to hand over the agricultural value of the land, and I will take the trouble to buy food with this money.

If you want to be so ruthless, then you can cover it.

The second is the shelving tax, which is that if you buy a field and leave it uncultivated, you have to pay five times the annual yield of that land.

Guo Dan set these two items, that is, to prevent the rise of commerce, resulting in the agricultural value of the land is far lower than the commercial value, and the profit from growing grain in a field is far less than building a workshop, so according to the law of the market, anyone will choose to build a workshop.

It turns out that this should be balanced by the government, and businessmen should be engaged in death, and I will do whatever I want to make money, but now that there is no government, Guo Dan can only slap himself to limit himself.

Of course, there are many conditions attached to this, if the land can no longer grow food, of course, it can be converted and shelved, but this is a need to apply, and after strict review.

As a businessman, I don't buy anyone's grain, but if you only care about annexing the land and don't send people to grow grain, then you will be punished to death.

Guo Dan keeps saying that he wants to be business-oriented, but many of the regulations in this contract are to protect agriculture, all because today's transportation is not ineffective, and local grain is very important.

According to these systems, except for paying fines, no one can rob other people's property, even the taxes are paid by themselves, of course, you can also choose not to pay, if you are really at home with husband and children, then you can indeed not pay, anyway, there is no way to check, if there is no income, there is no need to pay taxes.

Anyway, if you are willing to starve to death and are not willing to pay taxes, then Guo Dan will admit it, this is really too domineering.

But those squires don't understand the reason, they divide agriculture and commerce very clearly, so they once wondered if there was a pit here, Guo Dan was obviously a businessman, but he was so wasteful about protecting agriculture and protecting their interests.

Did you misunderstand Guo Dan before?

And Zhou Feng and others, who participated in the meeting as special guests, also complained about this.

This undoubtedly limits their expansion.

Guo Dan just gave them a sentence, if you can ensure that the food can meet the Weihui Mansion, then I will abolish this article.

Zhou Feng and they are silent, who dares to guarantee this.

As everyone knows, Guo Dan has already started to scold his mother in his heart, what kind of international jokes are you making, you people can flash if you make a profit, there is no loss, the risk is borne by Lao Tzu, once it fails, then Lao Tzu may have to take his life to fill it.

But on the whole, it is very beneficial to the merchants, it is simply a paradise, the merchants will not be bullied by anyone for anything they do here, even the last squires have been co-opted, equal, free, and private property is inviolable, so the merchant does not have to worry about how much money he makes.

Since all of this is born in a contract, it is also called a "contract system".
