Chapter 47: Commercial Taxation (2)
"Your Majesty, taxation is the foundation of the country, for the people and the country, the lower the agricultural tax, the better, but the commercial tax must not be too low, if it is too low, it will only cause the gap between the rich and the poor between the businessmen and the people, this gap will cause the oppression of the people by the businessmen and gentry, and this oppression will only cause dissatisfaction with the country in the end, which will cause social turmoil, please think twice." Jiang Yunfan knelt on the ground with a serious expression, he couldn't let this country finally become a capitalist society.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense." Qian Jinglong also knelt down.
"Your Majesty must not change the commercial tax to five out of ten. Jiang Yunfan is just lying to confuse the public, those businessmen are honest people, how can they be as he said. โ
"I think it's him."
"I heard that Jiang Yushi has a bookstore, and he makes a lot of money."
"Your Majesty," Jiang Yunfan waited for what they said, and took out a bag of silver taels from his arms, "This is what the minister has earned in the past few days, a total of one hundred taels, and the minister is willing to set an example and call for sixty taels of taxes." โ
The emperor glanced at him, waved his hand, and the prince took the money.
"Hubu Shangshu, you can tell me."
"Yes."
Hubu Shangshu walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the businessmen are exposed to the wind and the sun every day, going south and north, it is very hard to make a little money, and the tax can be again, but six out of ten is too harsh, and the minister feels that what Qian Shilang said is reasonable." โ
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
"One out of fifty is simply stupid." Jiang Yunfan sneered: "You still want to move Your Majesty? โ
"Those businessmen who are exposed to the wind and the sun, how many can live forty taels a year, the people who go south and north are not buying at a low price, selling at a high price, and the profit at one time is enough for those ordinary businessmen to eat for a few years, they make so much money, shouldn't they work hard?"
"Those peasants who work at sunrise and rest at sunset are not hard?"
"Your Majesty's six out of ten is the bottom line of the countryโโ"
"It's too much." The Emperor said.
There's a play!
When Jiang Yunfan heard this, he got up and said to everyone: "Five out of ten." โ
"One out of fifty."
The emperor glanced at the man: "Five out of ten is good." โ
"Your Majesty, no," Qian Jinglong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't you want the lives of those merchants to take five out of ten?" โ
"I think you want Your Majesty's life." Jiang Yunfan pointed at him and said angrily: "Do you want Your Majesty to raise Kou for self-respect?" โ
"They're just businessmen."
"Huh." Jiang Yunfan laughed angrily: "In the end, aren't you officials who collude with businessmen who will bring disaster to the country and the people?" โ
"What did you say!" They didn't seem to hear clearly.
Jiang Yunfan said word by word: "It is you officials who collude with businessmen to bring disaster to the country and the people. โ
"Do you hear me? Ladies and gentlemen? โ
"You, you." Several people knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this person slanders us and others, and asks Your Majesty to change our innocence, otherwise we can only die to make our will." โ
"Okay." Before the emperor could speak, Jiang Yunfan clapped his hands and said, "A few adults, do you need me to help you?" I promise to keep my hands and feet neat. โ
"You. How many people don't understand why he dares to do this, he is not afraid ......of offending the world?
"Don't worry, after you die, the people will not think about you, but will only sigh that if you die for a few days, the world will be peaceful." Jiang Yunfan continued his airway.
"You shameless."
"yes." Jiang Yunfan nodded, his face full of happiness.
"Alright." The emperor said angrily: "Above the court, how can you let you make trouble? In this way, they are all dragged down and dozens of boards are played. โ
"Yes." Several people said in unison.
Jiang Yunfan also secretly gave Li Junqing a look, presumably he could understand.
"Your Majesty." Li Junqing pondered for a moment and stood up, "The minister thinks it's better to compromise and take one out of twenty, right?" โ
"Nope." Jiang Yunfan looked at Li Junqing with his eyes, and let you come out is not a compromise here, it is in six out of ten, "Your Majesty, five out of ten is already the lowest." โ
Li Junqing was furious, didn't you let me out. Glared at him and didn't speak, don't worry about you, play by yourself.
Jiang Yunfan threw a look begging for mercy, you are bigger than the unofficial, you can suppress these second-grade officials.
"One out of twenty?" Everyone thought for a moment, "The ministers seconded it." โ
"Then 1 out of 10?" Although Li Junqing was looking at the emperor, his eyes still glanced at Jiang Yunfan.
"No." Jiang Yunfan didn't speak, then Qian Jinglong jumped out again, one out of twenty is already the minimum, if one out of ten, then he will explain to them like this.
"Four out of ten." Jiang Yunfan said.
Li Junqing looked at him, can't take one out of ten? You want to eat those merchants can't be.
Looking at his blinking eyes, he said helplessly casually: "Three out of ten." โ
Jiang Yunfan thanked him with satisfaction, and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, three out of ten is the best." โ
"No-" Qian Jinglong exclaimed and wailed, Qian Weiliang's matter had already made him lose face in the family, he wanted to reduce business taxes and consolidate his position, but he didn't expect Jiang Yunfan to suddenly run out, and he didn't offend him on weekdays. There was resentment in his eyes.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Yunfan didn't care that he looked at himself like this, anyway, he didn't care if he was already offended, "Please give the minister a day, and promise to give His Majesty a satisfactory answer tomorrow." Let the people of the world be satisfied. โ
"Okay." The emperor nodded, he trusted him, as long as the people of the world were satisfied, as for what commercial tax, merchants. As long as the world is stable, he doesn't care about them.
After the emperor finished speaking, he directly withdrew from the court, not giving those people a chance to bother themselves, you go and ask back.
Jiang Yunfan walked out proudly under the resentful eyes of some people, a group of fools, really thought that His Majesty cared about taxes, and wanted to play the poor card.
Do you think you are Wei Zhongxian, just cry?
"It's a cheap laugh."
Jiang Yunfan was mocking everyone, when he heard a voice beside him, and it turned out to be Li Junqing.
"Thank you just a lot."
"No, you don't." Li Junqing said indifferently: "Anyway, I don't like those people." โ
"What are you doing with this business tax?" She still asked curiously.
Jiang Yunfan looked at the ear of no one around him and said: "This is a big income for the future finance, let alone fighting World War I, even the money for World War II will be enough." โ
"Really?" Li Junqing's eyes lit up, originally every time he fought the war, his father was worried about military expenses, if it was really as he said, the two big stops were fine, then it was not possible to fight if he wanted in the future.
"Of course." Jiang Yunfan has to do more than just how simple the business tax is, he has a grand plan.
"You'll see tomorrow." Jiang Yunfan smiled mysteriously, said goodbye to him, and quickly returned home after leaving the noon gate.
I sat down in the room and wrote something about the business tax.
