Chapter 199: Qian Lin

This miscalculation is quite normal.

Qian Lin said: "I heard that the emperor is governed by flowers, which is really like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know when I can go and see it." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Ah, then you can go and have a look." ”

Somewhat cold.

Qian Lin originally thought that he represented 100,000 acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River, millions of taels of silver every year, tens of thousands of workers, countless protΓ©gΓ©s, how many officials who were wandering abroad, and countless scholars who were kept in captivity by them, and he didn't know how much he mastered public opinion in Jiangnan.

His identity information has already been told to Liu Du, and Liu Du naturally made it clear who has so much power as soon as possible.

Qian Lin has also read books, because he failed to pass the imperial examination of one of ten thousand people, so he became the shopkeeper, but he has some eyesight, he has read a book from the north, Dream of Red Mansions, this book is definitely evocative to read, and the most important thing for Qian Lin to nod is the record about the talisman.

Amulet, a list of the local magnates. Newly appointed officials must protect their interests in order to gain a foothold and keep their official positions, or they will ...... Hehehe.

This is the Jin Gentleman Record, in my Daming, this kind of thing is even sold at a clear price, and the family whose name is written is also complacent, which represents a monstrous power.

I heard that this book itself was written by an official in the imperial capital, although it is a little unprofessional, but it also shows that the person in charge of the imperial capital is a scholar, and a scholar, as long as he says a few good words, he will naturally be obedient.

And the Qian family has always been qualified to enter any talisman, there is no doubt about that.

How to say, the people in the imperial capital should also win over, appoint the people of the Qian family as officials, give various benefits, and then the Qian family will appropriately express their allegiance according to the situation.

As for...... Just kidding, although Qian Lin didn't know that in history, the Qian family quickly took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was cleaned up afterwards, but even foreign races can serve them, let alone the Han people?

The problem is not here, but taxes.

At present, the imperial capital is exempted from agricultural taxes, which is good for the Qian family on the surface.

However, the north does not worry about grain, and the rice in the northeast even has the economic demand for sales in the south of the Yangtze River, which is with the semi-mechanization, the construction of the railway transportation system, the explosion of fertilizer production capacity, and the initial formation of breeding companies, the future grain production in the north is likely to exceed its own food demand, after all, although Hebei has been desperately encouraging fertility, it is still a place with a serious tendency to foreign immigration, and in the end it is still the place where the elders have the most serious impact.

The inheritance systems are different and cannot be compared.

However, the elders have extremely strict control over the commercial tax, which is generally based on consumption tax and value-added tax, and if you want to buy something, it means that you will contribute to the elders, which can be said to be inescapable.

It's a painful thing for these families.

Obligations cannot be fulfilled, absolutely cannot be fulfilled, interests must be grabbed, and if there is less than one point, we will immediately begin to sell the country.

Therefore, the Qian family hopes to be exempt from taxes and not pay any national taxes, even if they give a share of the taxes to an elder.

This is the real reason why the Jiangnan region is so close to the imperial capital, they found that at least these big clan figures found that they could not find a new spokesperson at all.

Some people ask that the consumption tax is only a dozen points, such as 30 points for cigarettes, which is not necessary.

But for them, there are several considerations for handing over the taxes that should have been given to the imperial court to corrupt officials, the first of which is to save money.

For example, after the examination is lifted, after the field is entrusted to the person, he only needs to pay a fraction of the rent of the original agricultural tax, and he can guarantee the peace by giving it to the person, who doesn't like it?

At the same time, this kind of exchange can be sheltered, after all, the Qian family's smuggling overseas, all kinds of privately minted copper coins, and other misdeeds need to be protected.

For hundreds of years, it has long been a proper rule for people in what position to take and what kind of compensation they can get after retirement.

That is, during the period of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, many first assistants changed in shifts, which made this family even more inflated and crazy.

Qian Lin felt a little angry, because Li Xiangqian began to laugh, appreciating the scenery of the lake and mountains, and talking about how he planned to renovate the Humble Administrator's Garden after he had bought it.

He didn't mean to win over his Qian family at all, as if he was just an old man who came to visit the door.

Qian Lin also picked it up, no longer trying to do more, he originally thought about what kind of background he had in the imperial capital for a few children and nephews.

"This elder, there is one thing I don't understand."

"What's the matter?"

Qian Lin said: "Pray that the elders will take pity on the people of Jiangnan and exempt them from value-added tax and consumption tax, so that the people of the world can rest after the war." ”

Li Xiangqian seemed to be very surprised: "What's the situation, what did we do wrong?" ”

Qian Lin said indignantly: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of such a method of exploiting the people, but in the imperial capital, this kind of consumption tax is used as the tax amount, and it is collected from the wholesale market. ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Yohe, then tell me, where are the common people who are dissatisfied with the consumption tax in the imperial capital." ”

Qian Lin said with a smile: "In this place south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there is such a sensational tax in the imperial capital, and they are all in a panic, for fear that when the army arrives, this tax will be levied, and I am afraid that the family will be ruined, so they are all the same enemy. ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "The vast majority of ordinary people will never leave their birthplace within a few tens of kilometers in their lives, but I am afraid that this panic will not last all day, and you will always make trouble." ”

Qian Lin said quietly: "How could the little old man do such a thing, it's just that he is old and useless, and he doesn't have much time to live, so he just speaks up." ”

Li Xiangqian sneered and said: "The imperial capital sells the latest accounting exam books, and the examination institute will launch the CPA certificate assessment in this area in the future, I hope you can take a look, as for what you said, the consumption tax makes people feel that they can't survive, it's really a joke, do you know what kind of goods the consumption tax is levied on?" ”

Qian Lin was speechless for a while, he wanted to collect taxes from the people in the government, and always prevaricated that the government was competing for profits with the people, and he really didn't think about this problem.

"The consumption tax in the imperial capital, the highest commodity is probably tobacco, about thirty points, as for whether it will be higher in the future, no one knows, but if you can't afford to smoke, you can not smoke, you can die, the poor ghost still smokes, don't you go to work."

Li Xiangqian drank a cup of tea and said, "The consumption tax on books is very low, thirteen points, but if you don't want to buy it, no one will force you." ”

"And the fertilizer, the money is collected, but the thing is a good thing, not to mention that the grain can increase production, and the taste is better, shouldn't the money be charged?"

"As for the taxes on all kinds of luxury goods, if you think it's expensive, you will move bricks, and if you don't want to move bricks, you will die, and if you can't afford it, you will rebel, and then there will be no one!"

Li Xiangqian seems to be very disdainful, in his opinion, the root cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty is these interest groups.

In order to transport grain to the imperial capital every year, it is necessary to spend several times the grain itself!

And anyone who knows about modern shipping knows that then a little grain, even if you use an old-style wooden ship, at most half is enough!

To deal with the Manchurians, we should first stabilize the situation, the weak fight with the strong, the weak take advantage of the victory, and the strong are conducive to wrestling, the rich and the poor sue the poor, the poor are happy to settle quickly, and the rich are happy to last.

As long as the Manchus were unable to enter the customs and rob, and the horses and a large number of people they raised could not get out of production, they would actually lose money completely, and relying on the actions of Mao Wenlong and others at sea, under the constant attack, unless the Manchus completely retreated their forces to dozens of miles away from the coastline, they would not be able to guarantee safety.

The death of the Ming Dynasty was divided into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the natural disasters on the other, the Righteous Army on the third, and the Confucianism on the other.

And the money shopkeeper in front of him is obviously the owner who raised Confucian students to bite people.

In this regard, it is impossible for Li Xiangqian to raise a butcher's knife against them, although in fact, he is very willing to do so, but reason tells him that it is the most painful to kill people with soft knives.

Historically, to deal with these families, the early Manchu Qing Dynasty was also mainly Zhao'an, and later found that they not only refused to pay taxes, but began to use the old tricks of the past, raising unscrupulous Confucian students, infiltrating into the imperial examination, and engaging in many major imperial examination cases, and the Manchus themselves were not clean, so they began to set off many major cases in Jiangnan, one was to cut off the forces that might rebel, and the other was to deal with these businessmen who were rich enough to explode, but refused to pay taxes.

Many people, under the slogan of tax exemption and hiding wealth from the people, influence the national policy, but in fact, who is shouting for it, who is the biggest beneficiary of tax exemption.

The commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was only three percent, and it may not be collected.

In many cases, it becomes that the rich do not have to pay a bribe to the officials, and all of them are piled up on small merchants.

Li Xiangqian was calm and relaxed, if the people of Jiangnan were really instigated because of the fact that various luxury pleasures that had nothing to do with the needs of life were charged some taxes, then don't be too polite, and the real reason must not be because of taxes.

In the so-called developed countries of later generations, the part of their national income was accurately calculated, and the class lived where it was accurate, and it was so accurate that it exploded, and there was almost no savings in the remaining money except for paying taxes, which was really squeezed clean.

Only in this way can we create a continuous labor of Kanu, in case everyone has earned enough money for a few years to travel and play directly, so who will make money and spend?

The clever exploiters will only leave a little leftovers for the masses, and then use the loan to create a number of card slaves, house slaves, car slaves, and female slaves, so as to stimulate the last trace of vitality of the dicks to bring maximum profits to themselves.

Don't say it, this kind of pressing is definitely better than a place where slaves are tethered to ropes to work.

Qian Lin didn't seem to be very satisfied, and said: "This elder, you can't say that, the imperial court has opened so many workshops, produced so many things that cost the people and money, and compete with the people for profit, this is not the way to rejuvenate the country, if you contract those businesses to my Qian family, we will be rewarded." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "What a return." ”

Qian Lin's eyes were like torches, staring at Li Xiangqian, and said, "Give the elder three percent of the shares!" ”

"Haha......" Li Xiangqian laughed, halfway through the laughter, but he was stunned and changed color, as if he fell into great sadness.

This old man was made a mess by himself, and at the same time, the money from various businesses in the imperial capital was really eye-catching, so he had to pay this kind of price.

Such a big family, watching other people make money, they have never thought of using technology to imitate, or to learn from the same way to engage in industrialization, and have long been accustomed to direct ingenuity, if it is an ordinary family, directly forged IOUs, robbed other people's money, wives and daughters, and snatched that kind of technology, it is happy.

If it's from the government, then rely on the imperial examination.

How dark was the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty?

When the Jiangnan scholars took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the black hearts of the Manchus, they still carried out a large number of fraudulent activities in the imperial examinations, and they were still current, clearly marked the price, and only after being found out did they know that it had been the case for many years!

The rich businessmen in Jiangnan are like this, so that the imperial examination is full of their people, and they don't even need more, every time the imperial examination is mixed in a part, after a few times, there are all their people up and down.

With the money of wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and buying the imperial examination fraud, then naturally there is an extra layer of handle, and they will continue to serve these wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

This is the reason why organized can deal with unorganized, behind you are just some township party alumni associations, and behind them are Chiguoguo's interest groups, or they hold each other's handles, which is equivalent to the procedure of the skeleton club entered by the president of the United States in the future, that is, he can join the association only after he comes to the public and tells one of his secrets.

This is also the magic weapon that they rely on to win.

Of course, this magic weapon is directly finished with the standardized scoring of the action test.

It can be said that the contradictions between the Qian family and other Jiangnan families and the elders are structural, fundamental, and cannot be resolved, even if the elders give them great kindness, it is impossible to solve them, because it is a matter of political status and cannot be solved with money.

What is Political Status?

One hundred responses, no one disobeys.

In the main story of Ah Q, Ah Q's idea is that whoever he wants is who he wants.

The so-called feudal remnants are probably like this, and in later generations, such as Thailand and Japan, even if there are countless modern technologies, voting will be one person, one vote, but basically the active characters are still the descendants of the previous daimyo lords. Generations continue to marry each other.

This is a manifestation of political status over economic status.
