Volume 2: Fengtian Carrier 017.How can it be considered a council if it doesn't fight?

Hearing Wang Le's words, the parliamentarians were all confused.

They hadn't thought about taxes since the beginning, and this was the first time in parliament, so why did they throw out such a big question?

Wang Le felt a little proud in his heart, after all, he had thought about this arrangement a long time ago, and in Wang Le's plan, the first shot must blow up all these people.

So when everyone was still ignorant, Wang Le began a tirade.

After describing the tax history of the Acropolis in great detail, Wang Le said to the group of councilors: "Now, let's discuss the composition of taxes. ”

As soon as Wang Le's words fell, he saw one ear open as a military representative congressman.

"The ......"

As soon as one ear popped out of his mouth, two words were interrupted by Wang Le.

"Before you speak, you have to raise your hand, and you can only say it until you point it, this is the rule."

One ear was made a little faceless by Wang Le, but he was afraid that his lack of knowledge would be exposed after opening his mouth to refute it, so he could only swallow the grievances in his stomach.

After seeing one ear obediently raise his hand, Wang Le said to one ear: "Big brother, you speak first." ”

One ear nodded and said, "That...... Can you explain what constitutes a tax? ”

Wang Le smiled softly when he heard this, the scene at this time was exactly the same as his previous idea.

After clearing his throat, Wang Le said to the parliamentarians present: "Speaking of taxes, they are generally divided into agricultural taxes, commercial taxes, and some other taxes from all aspects......

After another tirade, after introducing the types of taxes in detail, Wang Le looked at the surrounding parliamentarians and said: "Now our question is how much tax should be borne by all walks of life. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Le saw a fat man raise his hand anxiously.

Wang Le knew this fat man, a wealthy man in the city, who seemed to be in the silk or cloth business. After thinking about it, Wang Le still pointed at the other party and said, "This councilor, you speak first." ”

I saw the fat congressman stand up, pinch his throat and whisper: "I just want to ask, how to collect this agricultural tax and commercial tax?" As long as the cash is still the same as before, it can be deducted from the tax in kind. ”

Wang Le smiled at the other party and nodded, and then patiently explained: "Maybe many people still don't know much about the arrangement of taxation, so I'll focus on it." In order to serve all the people in the Acropolis more humanely, we deliberately studied two tax models, that is, the people with different incomes are divided into two categories, the low-income group implements the strategy of tax deduction in kind, and the high-income group implements the cash tax collection. This can increase the category of goods in the city, after all, even if the city lord's mansion is rich, it can't change things for everyone. And on the other hand, no matter how much the things in the City Lord's Mansion are, they can't be turned into money. ”

As soon as the councillors heard Wang Le's words, they began to exchange heads and discuss one after another.

Seeing this, Wang Le nodded with satisfaction, this is the effect of the council he wants. This is the first one, and when there are more openings in the future, you will have to form a gang and break up, and then this council will not be what my king wants?

Just when Wang Le was still thinking about it in his heart, he heard a familiar voice from the parliamentary seat.

"I would like to ask, do the disabled and beggars have to be taxed?"

Luo Ergou raised his hand to Wang Le and asked.

Wang Le glanced at Luo Ergou, his eyes were a little intriguing. It's just that Luo Ergou at this time is no longer the dead cripple who can be kneaded at will, and I don't know how this Luo Ergou did it, and he actually became a disabled representative in the parliament.

Smiling at Luo Ergou, Wang Le shook his head and explained to Luo Ergou: "We think that disabled people don't have to pay taxes, but beggars must pay taxes." ”

Wang Le's words once again caused those parliamentarians to start talking.

From time to time, Wang Le can still hear famous words such as "The beggars are so pitiful, why do you have to let them pay taxes".

For this kind of Madonna, Wang Le has always despised it. When it is not about one's own interests, it is compassionate. When it comes to his own interests, he is like a shrew, and Wang Le hates it very much.

When the noise in the seats of the parliamentarians gradually subsided, Wang Le continued to explain: "Why not levy a tax on the disabled, because I think the disabled need to be cared for, God has taken something from them, so we should not take it from them anymore." As for why you should collect taxes on beggars, I suggest that you have more contact with the beggars in the city. As you know, most of the beggars in the Acropolis today are young and strong lazy men, who are lazy and lazy, and just take advantage of other people's sympathy to eat. This is a phenomenon that I don't want to see in the minds of all of you. Since they have the ability to support themselves, they do not support themselves. Then I can only force them to make money by collecting taxes, and as long as they are beggars for a day, then I will collect their taxes for a day. Not only to collect, but also to collect heavy taxes. ”

Wang Le's impassioned remarks immediately made the parliamentarians present applaud.

Wang Le smiled and applauded with the parliamentarians present, and when the applause subsided, Wang Le said to the members present: "We are now preliminarily formulating the tax composition of the Tianwei City consisting of three parts. That is, agricultural tax, commercial tax and other taxes. Among them, agricultural taxes account for 10 percent of the total tax revenue, commercial taxes account for 40 percent, and other taxes account for 4 percent and a half. We have tentatively proposed that those who make a living by growing crops should pay 10% of the total annual harvest as agricultural tax every year. The commercial tax is 20%, and the other taxes and fees fluctuate between 1/2% and 50% depending on the type. ”

Wang Le's words exploded like thunder in the ears of the councilors.

Two percent of the business tax? The tax rate is so high, so don't all prices have to go up? This is a matter closely related to one's own interests, and this kind of policy must not be allowed to be implemented normally.

The fat congressman from before was once again a leading bird, and he didn't even bother to raise his hand, and immediately stood up and asked Wang Le: "Two percent of the business tax?" Now the price of rice in Tianwei City is seven wen a catty, and if you increase the tax by two percent, won't it rise to eight wen and nine wen? No, no, no, this will definitely not work. ”

Hearing the opposition, Wang Le laughed softly. It's all under his control. From the very beginning when he thought of this plan, Wang Le thought that the commercial tax must be the focus of everyone's opposition, so Wang Le had already thought of countermeasures.

Glancing lightly in the direction of one ear, one ear immediately stood up in understanding, and scolded the fat councilor: "Dude, haven't you figured it out? The lower the price of the commodity, the less commercial tax will be charged. You come up and say that the price of rice is already 7 Wen, but if you go and ask a few rice merchants here, who dares to say that their cost can exceed 5 Wen? ”

As soon as the words of one ear came out, Lou Wan, who was sitting not far away, also stood up.

"Yes, what the eldest brother said is right. Many of you may know me, my contemptible name is Lou Million, and I am the largest grain merchant in the Acropolis for the time being. Now that the grain market in the Acropolis has gradually become deformed, it is necessary to have policies to curb the continued spread of this deformity. Moreover, the lord of the city has also said that the increase in commercial taxes is actually accompanied by the decline in agricultural taxes. The price at which we collect grain is low, so why is the price of selling it so high? Those of you who are rich and unkind, can't you see that the people of the Acropolis can be fed and clothed? ”

Lou Million's words can be described as murderous, and after a few words, he directly raised the question of taxation to the height of morality, and now whoever opposes it is not good to see the people of the Acropolis, this kind of big hat is buttoned down, who dares to talk nonsense?

Just when everyone present was silent, an old man raised his hand tremblingly, Wang Le knew that this person was the owner of a casino in the city.

Wang Le pointed at the other party and said, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Hearing this, the old man stood up, first arched his hand to Wang Le, and then arched his hand to the person next to him, and then said: "I actually want to ask a little bit, my family has relied on that gambling house for generations, and the tax of this gambling house is considered commercial tax?" Or does it count as other taxes? ”

Wang Le smiled and explained: "Gambling houses, green buildings, and other places for people to have fun are uniformly called entertainment taxes. The entertainment tax is also our tentatively highest tax rate, with 50% of gross profit as a tax. ”

The old man, who was originally a little proud, suddenly seemed to have been slapped in the face, and was stunned in place.

How is this different from the script? The old man originally thought that the gambling house was at most 20% to 30% tax, because in the previous tax regulations of the Acropolis, casinos were also taken according to the commercial tax, so there were so many casinos that could eat and drink spicy food in this small Acropolis.

Suddenly hearing that the City Lord's Mansion was going to take away fifty percent of Maori, the old man suddenly felt dizzy. finally eased up, and began to secretly complain in his heart about why he was talking too much. Is it bad to be alive? Isn't it good to make a fortune in a muffled voice? It's okay now, not only did he not eat meat, but he was hated by his peers. The old man felt that he had lost a lot.

Wang Le seemed to see through the old man's thoughts, and he inevitably laughed secretly in his heart.

As early as when he first took over the Acropolis, Wang Le had the heart to deal with the gambling houses and Qinglou in the Acropolis. But Nian Zai's situation in the Acropolis had not completely stabilized at that time, so he just killed the chickens and monkeys, and after cutting a few leeks, he didn't care about this piece anymore.

Two days ago, when Wang Le was formulating a tax plan, he suddenly found that he seemed to have sufficient reasons to dispose of these illegal industries in the city.

Originally, today's arrangement was to talk about agricultural taxes and commercial taxes first, and then talk about some other miscellaneous taxes. But the old man in front of him appeared in front of Wang Le as if the community had come to send warmth, and Wang Le, who was worried that there was no reason to change the topic, suddenly climbed up the pole and threw out the theory of entertainment tax.

At the moment when Wang Le said the entertainment tax, the audience fell silent again.

Originally, everyone thought that fifty percent of the tax revenue could only appear in salt, tea and other industries controlled by the government, so everyone did not care about this. But Wang Le suddenly threw out the concept of entertainment tax, which immediately stunned Wang Le.

Wang Le looked at the parliamentarians around him who were still in shock, and he was inevitably a little proud in his heart.

"Wait, that's the appetizer. Wait a minute, you'll be even more shocked, and I'm going to let you guys fight here anyway today. How can it be considered a parliament if it doesn't fight? ”
