Chapter 345 New Labor Management and Taxation System
Shanyang's recruitment fever broke out suddenly, there is a tendency to get out of control, several people in Shanyang cabinet shop deposit is huge, at least more than 30 million, once they get rich, the people are afraid to see it.
However, in order to maintain the order of the labor market and prevent applicants from being tricked by the vicious competition of these families, the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei had to introduce a labor protection law.
What is surprising is that the introduction of this law has not been opposed by anyone, in fact, this is to stop the several major families who are caught in vicious competition, they can't wait for it!
In just two days, the monthly salary of an ordinary farmer was raised to more than 2,500 yuan, which is very unreasonable, but in order not to be monopolized by their opponents in the labor market, they have to fight, and if no one shouts to stop, this matter will continue.
Article 1 of the Labor Law stipulates that the employer must sign a labor agreement with the employee according to the negotiated monthly salary, which can be signed for six months, one year, two years, or three years.
The employee has to leave within the agreed time and can resign early, but the employer cannot dismiss the employee at will, otherwise he will face compensation.
This is to prevent employers from recruiting people and then driving them away for a few days, and using various means to not pay them.
According to this rule, after recruiting workers, they must pay a real salary, take care of food and housing, and pay the agreed salary, with the current monthly salary of 2,500 yuan, the annual consumption of a hired worker is at least 40 yuan, but can the things they grow every year have a profit of 40 yuan?
You must know that after the second season of grain in Jiangnan was sent to Shanyang, the price of rice in Shanyang is now only 120 wen 1 stone, and the first impact is that the price of all food commodities is decreasing, that is to say, counting the cost of the loss of grain and other agricultural tools, a hired worker must grow more than 600 stone of rice for them a year in order for them to recover the cost of 40 yuan.
But even if Zhancheng rice is planted in the south of the Yangtze River, each person has to plant more than 50 mu per season, and plant three crops a year to produce so much grain, can a person plant 50 mu of rice and plant three crops a year?
The answer is no.
In the north, without the cultivation conditions in the south of the Yangtze River, it is even more impossible to do so, that is, they are doomed to lose money to recruit people at this price.
Sun Xiangfu used this labor protection law to make several major families stop competing with higher prices, and it was too late for them to thank Sun Xiangfu! How could they oppose this law!
Then, Sun Xiangfu took advantage of this momentum and quickly set up an employment security office, so that all people in the north who have employment relations can go to this office to sign a labor agreement, according to salary, pay taxes, and the entry or termination of the labor agreement must go through the procedures in this office.
Since after the agreement is signed, only the paid worker pays personal income tax to the government, and the employer does not have to pay it, so this provision can be easily enforced, because ordinary people are not in a position to say no to the law.
If the employer does not sign a labor agreement with the employee, it is an illegal employee, and once it is found, it will be punished heavily, so all individuals or families and workshops who need to recruit workers will not object to signing the labor agreement, because, if they sign the agreement, they do not have to pay taxes, and if they do not sign the agreement, they may face heavy penalties, which is of course good if they sign it.
"Metropolitan Governor, why did you set up such a cumbersome management system, now, in the workshops everywhere, tens of thousands of people have to get this labor agreement, and the yamen is too busy to come over."
In Chu Suiliang's view, it is good to have morality to restrain the simple people, and using these agreements to restrain them will make them only pay attention to the agreement and ignore morality, but he doesn't know that agreements are often the same for people who are morally degenerate, and it is the same whether there is an agreement or not.
"It's better to be busy now, it's better than going to be in chaos in the future, we are governing, we have to look at the long run, now we have less people in the north farming, but more and more workers, in the future, this income tax will be the largest tax in the yamen in addition to commercial tax, while the industrial scale is not large now, as soon as possible to improve the system, in order to face greater challenges.
In addition, don't underestimate this labor agreement and tax system, it needs to be handled by household registration, and after it is fully implemented, the security of our Datang will be much better······
Moreover, it will be easier for us to investigate a person, and if we take out his work records and tax payment records, we will know that he is a serious person, or an unemployed vagrant······"
In ancient times, rangers have always been a very unstable factor in society, because there are no surveillance videos, ID cards, photos and the like, so that criminals can easily escape the punishment of the law after committing crimes.
Now, the civic system is about to be fully implemented, then, the population flow of the whole society, will become more frequent, it is easy to breed theft, robbery, fraud and other criminal acts, how to effectively crack down on this kind of public security cases, we need to start from all aspects, first of all, to make a person's household registration more important.
In the future, if you need to show your household registration for customs clearance, employment, etc., those who originally wanted to report a fluke psychological crime should think twice. Once the victim reports the case and is wanted by the government, then his household registration will not be able to cross the state through the state, and the scope of his activities will be compressed within a state capital, and he will not be able to work or farm to make a living, then he will soon become poor and his whereabouts will be exposed.
Of course, its most critical role is to protect the rights and interests of the people at the bottom, this employment security office is not only a tax collection agency, but also an institution to resolve labor disputes, employment, or the employed party, what rights and interests have been violated, what disputes arise, you can come here to complain, here will be responsible for hearing, investigation, and processing, with it, you can ensure the operation of the entire labor system.
Sun Xiangfu unexpectedly saw Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling from Weifu outside the office.
So, he told the two of them again what Chu Suiliang said just now, and after listening, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling both felt that this system must be implemented in the entire Tang Dynasty in the future, because it can indeed promote local management well and strengthen taxation.
You know, in ancient times, tax collection is a very large, and not easy to do business, in the past, agricultural tax has always been the big head, because where the field, people have to plant, then, your tax can not escape, this kind of tax can not escape, it is best to collect, the government is of course close to this collection.
The rest, such as industrial and commercial taxes, are not very easy to collect, workers go to help people work, the salary is geometric, will not be reported to the court at all, the court will not know how many days a year a worker does, how much income, the standard of taxation, there is no way to talk about it, generally they are levied every year to help the court do some work, and the tax will be deducted.
And this way of signing a labor agreement, according to the agreed salary, and self-filing of taxes, can very well solve the problem of workers' taxes, so that after the implementation of the citizenship system in the imperial court, the princes' worries about taxation will be relieved. Because, judging from the situation in Guanzhong, many ordinary people in poor areas have chosen to abandon agriculture and work, and this is the main reason for the reduction of agricultural taxes.
For example, the more than 300,000 laborers in Weinan New Town were originally people from the poorest villages in Guan, and in the original fields, they planted to death, so they could not starve to death, and now they go to the construction site to work as construction workers, every month, they can eat and drink, and they can also get the same money, so who wants to go back to farming?
This is another great benefit of the implementation of the civic system, he will let the people adjust their employment according to the actual situation, and will not be like before, everyone will be framed on a piece of land to farm, some land is indeed very barren, no matter how you plant, the output will not be large, which will make the people in this place poor for generation after generation.
This phenomenon exists in large numbers throughout the Tang Dynasty, and in an era when even what to plant in the fields is decided by the government, the people have no choice at all.
Now, if Guanzhong also implements this set of tax policies like Shanyang, the losses of the imperial court in agricultural taxes can be made up for on the side of labor taxes.
Seeing a very perfect solution to the tax problem, Li Shimin almost forgot what he wanted to say to Sun Xiangfu, and when Xu Jingzong came to the yamen to find Sun Xiangfu to report on his work, Li Shimin remembered to ask Sun Xiangfu what kind of regulations he had said about the opening ceremony of the all-army competition.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going to postpone Xu Tingshi's departure to Tai'an City until ten days later, because the Hu Shang team of the Western Regions, and the prince of Gaochang Koji Zhisheng, want to go with him, we just take the opportunity to invite them to watch the opening ceremony, as well as the competition a few days ago, so that they can spread some news that Dingxiang will hold the world's first sports conference in three years to the Western Regions, so that the royal palace nobles of the Western Regions countries will also be interested in this competition and bring people to participate, only if more people are willing to come to our Datang, our Datang's economy, will be more prosperous. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt reliable, and then said, "Since you have kept them for a few more days, you can't let them suffer losses in vain, during the competition, let people send them some melons and fruits of your Shanyang, I know that the melons and fruits grown in your new fields in the north are better than the harvest of the ripe fields in Guanzhong." ”
Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu heard the sour taste in Li Shimin's tone. There's no way to be jealous! The Hetao area is fertile and has a deep humus layer, which is not comparable to the land in Guanzhong that has been cultivated for thousands of years.
Entering the beginning of August, the crops of melons and fruits begin to mature and harvest, every day there are a large number of fresh melons and fruits are pulled by the farmers to the shops in the city to sell, before Li Shimin came to the Yamen, he bought a few pieces along the street to eat, because the temperature difference between day and night here is large, the melons and fruits are generally sweeter than those grown in Guanzhong, fortunately, the melons and fruits here are ripe late, at this time, the melons and fruits in Guanzhong have eaten the season. Otherwise, Li Shimin was worried that the melons and fruits in Guanzhong would be hit by the melons and fruits in the north to be unsalable.
What annoys him more is the yield of cotton, the cotton in the north is as big as a small tree, and the cotton peach is obviously much better than the cotton in Guanzhong, which is also cotton, how can there be such a big gap?
Sun Xiangfu felt that he had to give an explanation on this matter, otherwise, it would be bad if he was really misunderstood, and said, "Your Majesty, now you see the gap between the barren land and the fertile land!" In Yichen's view, the land in Guanzhong should be returned to farmland on a larger scale for recuperation, leaving more space for our future generations. ”
Sun Xiangfu talked about the descendants of later generations, but Li Shimin remembered an incident that Sun Deshou said when he came to Sun's Mansion today, and then told him that Sun Deshou was finally busy with the blueberry seedlings in the nursery, and a letter sent by Yu Xiuer from Chang'an is now in Sun's Mansion.
