Chapter 123: The Story of Public Opinion

Don't mention it.

An Zaixu bought the bill tremblingly, he had a nervous breakdown, and he didn't care about the amount of change, he took the so-called "republican treasure", and staggered out.

He was so confused, although like other drunkards, he could remember his own path, but he really didn't want to go back, and the last time, he even fell asleep on the ground, almost like many drunkard predecessors over the ages, in the cold winter, fell on the frozen land, and fell asleep.

But after all, this is the imperial capital under the rule of the Council of Elders, and the unstable situation makes the daily patrol personnel constant, in this northern winter, this kind of drunken "road down" has long been commonplace, and after being rescued quickly, An Zaixu was annoyed and angry, ignoring the greetings of those patrols, and just left.

Why get drunk? Not because you like to drink, but only when you are drunk, you can escape from certain things, certain ideas.

He walked back step by step, and he could almost soon reach the inn where he was staying, although the owner of the store muttered something, bad luck, bad luck, and didn't want Ahn Jae-wook to continue to live in the store, but after all, he had already paid the room fee until the end of Enke, and the timid and fearful boss didn't dare to really anger the scholar, so he could only delay it like this.

Back on the street, the flow of people on the street is getting less and less, in the winter, there can be a few people who are willing to go out at will, that is, those patrolmen, wearing newly lowered cotton jackets, to patrol vigorously, but also make many young men look itchy, thinking that they will also go to "join" the army in the future.

Just when he was in a hurry, he wanted to wander outside and wait until there was no one before returning to the inn, but unexpectedly, when he was passing by an alley, someone suddenly asked: "Do you want to take revenge?" ”

When Ahn Jae-wook heard this, he suddenly raised his head, with the light of hope and the future in his eyes.

The wind and rain have begun.

The ruling technique of the Presbyterian Church is completely different from any group in the history of the world, no matter what others say, they have to consider income, consider various profitable strategies, for them, the first pot of gold is so easy, and there is no need to collect taxes on the people, or go to the local tyrants to divide the land, to earn the first pot of gold.

Gold mined from Australia was converted into silver coins and used as a common currency.

As far as a ruler is concerned, any regime needs to rely on money to maintain the operation of the state apparatus, after all, it needs to support so many people who are out of production and need others to provide food, that is, it needs to rely on a large amount of taxes to supply.

And the demise of each generation of ancient traditional states is always accompanied by an inefficient and inefficient tax collection system that is not prepared to collect taxes effectively.

This is the end of the dynasty.

Of course, the so-called dynasty, in fact, according to the level of tax collection, actually shows the level of its rule.

For example, my Ming Dynasty, as well as the Persian Empire and the Roman Empire, which have long collapsed, can be said to be the central income tax is really not much, but the tax pain index of the common people is so high that it is explosive, because of the system, many taxes are withheld from it, and the stupid tax system leads to the rich who should pay taxes do not have to pay, and the poor are chased by the IRS.

The more clever tax collectors, like a blood-sucking leech, lie on the human body to suck blood, but people do not feel pain, and since they do not feel pain, they will not beat the leech to death.

This is the clever tax collector, I don't know how much better than the stupid fools who collect direct taxes.

Therefore, you can understand how uninterested in collecting taxes from the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty within the Presbyterian Church, first, do not understand the real economic situation of the Ming Dynasty, how to formulate a tax collection law, there is no stable tax police corps, a special ability to fight, especially able to collect taxes, before the tax is strong, in the common people to instill the purpose of collecting taxes for the people.

Therefore, even if the agricultural tax is abolished in the future, all kinds of commercial taxes and income taxes that regulate income distribution are still bound to be collected, but not now, now is the time for recuperation and recuperation, not to mention anything else, the Manchu Qing Dynasty knows that the abolition of the tax on people can calm the people's hearts, although the money will be received ten times immediately after the golden tax.

It is nothing more than setting up central enterprises, playing monopoly, and then relying on these "state-owned enterprises" to play the trick of indirect taxation, which is actually very easy to understand.

Many ordinary people are complacent about their evasion of hundreds of yuan in taxes, but then they buy cigarettes for hundreds of yuan each, and smoke so happily......

The problem is that as one of the top three powerful state-owned enterprises, the annual dividends paid by tobacco companies often replace those leaked taxes to support infrastructure construction, build roads, build bridges, and buy clothes for border soldiers.

Qian Jin, as the designer of this system, is also a headache, he knows that he doesn't have that ability, in the minds of the people of the Celestial Empire, instilled the idea of paying taxes and paying taxes, in fact, in the 21st century, a group of leading the way with the wind is still propagating something, not paying taxes for pride.

There's no way, the people of the Celestial Empire, many times, it's really IQ that should be recharged.

As far as he knows, the idea of forming a tax police corps to collect taxes is really good, the future empire will be an empire on a train, within a hundred miles of the railway line, it is an absolute control area, relying on this, to collect taxes, not to mention anything else, in the 21st century, the salt industry is also a model of nationalization, but at this time, the extravagant life of Yangzhou salt merchants, even the people of the imperial capital have heard of it.

The cuisine of Huaiyang cuisine is inseparable from the leading role of these salt merchants, and the so-called Yangzhou thin horse, which is almost created for these salt merchants, shows how extravagant these people are.

Of course, no matter how extravagant you are, if it is a hard-earned legal income, Qian Jin will not care much about them, no matter how much money you have, is it comparable to the diamond mines of South Africa? However, the tax evasion of these guys has reached a shocking level.

The salt tax in the middle of the Ming Dynasty even accounted for half of the imperial court revenue, but in the last years, Wei Zhongxian, with the support of the emperor, wanted to receive one-third of the 13oo taels of silver collected according to the plan, but it could not be completed.

If you can receive less than one-tenth, it is already a meaning, and you can pay it casually.

You can see how much tax has been escaped.

In Qian Jin's view, if they only rely on Australia's gold mines to live, then a large amount of imported gold will inevitably lead to the depreciation of gold prices, which is the legendary imported inflation, and the harder they work, the poorer they become.

Then in the future, it will be necessary to engage in financial resources, the first of which is a variety of advanced factories and enterprises, and the other is very important, that is, to collect taxes, Qian Jin has studied in the United States, for the IRS, this is particularly able to fight, especially able to collect taxes, whether it is celebrities, or gangster tax evaders, in front of the powerful IRS, they are scum with less than five combat effectiveness.

Of course, this matter is still very late in the sequence list, but Qian Jin is still ready to make some preparations in advance.

"Yes, the first episode of the private interview is still not bad, everything is difficult at the beginning, those girls, and those actors, all need to be honed and honed, so, in the second episode, what do you think of changing the focus from the inferior gentry and landlords in the first episode to the salt merchants."

Before the Chinese New Year's Eve, because basically the spaceship was single, so it didn't matter about the reunion dinner, and some elders thought that the New Year was just a gathering of people who knew each other, but several old comrades considered the problem more far-reaching, after all, this is a group where everyone is equal and everyone has equal voting rights, and it is easy to move towards disunity in a small circle, so the final choice is still such a buffet party.

The content of the dinner party seems to be very ordinary in the 21st century, but by the standards of this era, it is very extravagant, however, try not to use outsiders, and the busy people are all related to some of the elders, and the obedient palace maids who perform are not bad.

"Forget it, old money, going to war on all fronts often means that the whole line is in vain, and the snake has to be killed at one time, at least in the first season, I estimate that our main target is still based on local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the focus is to start with the men and women that the masses are most concerned about, and completely blacken those Donglin parties and landlords, the steps are too big, and it is easy to talk nonsense."

Wu Ming can be said to be proud of the spring breeze these days, and the sales of his exam-oriented educational books are so good that they explode, although the elders will not care about such a little oil and water, but who knows, this is the sign of a big publishing house in the future, not to mention anything else, teaching and auxiliary books have always been better than making good money.

So this kind of stimulation is more popular than Dream of Red Mansions, and there are even big officials in the imperial capital to inquire which one is Wu Mingcai, but this kind of thing, he is naturally just secretly refreshed, everyone knows that with his ancient literary skills, if he meets the girls, it is estimated that he will immediately go into trouble.

The filming of the elder's private interview with the micro-service was also made by him with a lot of effort, and the private interview with the emperor who ate chaff and drank scarcely, although its story structure is very low-end, it is a routine that is easy to imitate, nothing more than a local tyrant, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil, and after the "elder" heard about it, the micro-service private interview went to investigate, during which he naturally used his personal experience to see the bully's face, and let the bully say a few words of hatred to prove that the elder was justified in killing him.

Of course, it is best to intersperse a girl as a concoction in the meantime, and the merit is complete, so naturally it is received in the harem, and the common people see it, as if they have also taken in the girl.

Of course, in the eyes of many, this is an imbecile training episode, and the more you watch it, the more your IQ becomes unnecessary, but for the elders, it is also a must.

Qian Jin seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said: "I still say, will it cause a backlash if you go all out to fire the scholars, such a smear is too obvious, my personal suggestion is to be cautious."

"Where is the smear, old money, you are playing paperwork every day, printing money or something, you can't touch the outside," Zhou Zhiwei shook his head and said: "I am responsible for providing food for the laborers, just a lunch, or I have seen some things, the people are really bitter and poor, if I go back to the 21st century, I can ignore the group of bastards who are clamoring for what Chinese culture has been broken, the benefits of this era are basically occupied by less than 1 people, and the rest of the people, you know, they are now in this weather, There may still be only a single set of clothes, not even a little cotton, if you go outside to work, you will almost freeze to death, that's all, the laborers working on my construction site, or there are landlords who chase them from the countryside, ask them for some silver, and I will drive them away. ”

Qian Jin shook his head and said, "How could I not know," he suddenly smiled happily, "This matter also has our credit, don't you know, I don't just stay in the office, I still know a lot about the situation at the grassroots level, we have absorbed all the free labor that can be absorbed around the imperial capital, and almost the more the better, when the new city is built, the old city will be renovated, all kinds of security guards in the new city, and a large number of service personnel are also needed, so, those landlords have long and short jobs, It's hard to find, so I'm in a hurry, not for so many pieces of silver. ”

Zhou Zhiwei looked at it and said, "Then what should I do, is this problem very big." ”

Qian Jin shook his head and said: "This is a good thing, the so-called noble people are cheap, Fang is a prosperous age, we are not short of money, there is a way to return funds, and as long as it is formed, human resources are very valuable, and we need to be kind to others This kind of atmosphere, isn't the purpose of our coming here achieved, well, however, how to promote the population to immigrate and go out, but it takes a lot of thought." ”

"It's nothing more than a big shipbuilding, always relying on the millennium falcon to transport people, and it's not a way, in fact, if you talk about immigration, Australia is also a good place."

Zhou Zhiwei also went to Australia before, not only stepped on a lot of gold, but also had a little understanding of the local indigenous people, as the rabbits in later generations were flooded to the need for the regular army to clear Australia, there was no rabbit disaster at this time, so for Australia, it is indeed a good place to immigrate, there is no infectious disease in Southeast Asia, there is no competition from Western colonists, it is nothing more than a little more python, well, this, send some Cantonese people over, and it will be solved, hehe.

"Immigrants...... Hey, it's really like what Li Xiangqian said, I also know a little bit, if the governance is really good, at least in this era, it's really hard to say how many people are willing to go out, that place in Australia is not bad, at least now, it's summer. ”
