Chapter 304: The Unexpected
The taxation of Nanzhili can be said to affect the hearts of countless people, whether it is people from Nanzhili or people from other provinces. Everyone was waiting to see what Nan Zhili did, but nothing was done.
The Tax Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been preparing for all emergencies for a long time, but they did not respond.
Xu De, the inner factory, was also ready to go, but there was still no response.
No one jumped out to oppose it, no one jumped out to do things, and the collection of the entire production tax went smoothly, which couldn't help but make countless people's jaws drop, why was the thunder and rain small?
Nanjing is prosperous.
Xu De stood in front of the window with a serious expression, glanced back at Qiu Niang, and then asked, "Are you sure there is nothing?" No news came? ”
"Back to the factory, everything is very stable!" Li Qiuniang said expressionlessly.
Xu De still couldn't believe it: "That's weird, these people are willing to take out the money?" This shouldn't be! After speaking, Xu De asked again: "No one is secretly in tandem?" ”
Li Sanniang glanced at her factory, do you hope that something will happen or that there will be no accident?
"Nope!" This time Li Sanniang's answer was very simple, only two words, maybe I felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, Li Sanniang added: "It may also be that we didn't find it." ”
Hearing this, Xu De waved his hand directly, he didn't believe it.
It may be possible to say that the manpower of the internal factory cannot be found out of specific matters, because the internal factory is not omnipotent, but it is impossible to say that no news has been received at all.
Now the inner factory has not received any news, which means that it is really fine.
"Why do these people pay their taxes obediently?" Xu De muttered to himself.
In fact, not only Xu De is asking this question, many people are also asking the same question. The Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office, Li Shenxing also heard the same question, and then turned his head to look at his younger brother Li Duxing.
"Didn't figure it out?" Li Shenxing looked at his younger brother, put down the teacup in his hand, and then asked with a smile.
Li Duxing nodded, and then said with a smile: "Please also ask my brother to teach!" ”
"My own brother, don't get these things!" Saying that, Li Shenxing pointed to the chair next to him, and then said, "For my brother, I have a little taste, and I will talk to you today." ”
"Let's start by talking about why we should oppose commercial taxes?" Li Shenxing looked at his younger brother, and then said.
"Of course, it's because you want to get money!" Li Duxing said as a matter of course: "This production tax, commercial tax and business tax, this is a lot of money, and no one wants to take out the money!" ”
Li Shenxing nodded and continued to ask, "Then everyone has to pay these three taxes?" ”
"Of course not!" Li Duxing shook his head directly: "Although some people can buy and sell in their homes, and they have to pay everything, there are not many such people, and everyone can basically pay two kinds of money." ”
Li Shenxing nodded again: "Originally, the commercial tax of the imperial court was thirty taxes and one, and after the tax exemption was abolished, do you have to pay these thirty taxes and one tax?" The officials and gentry didn't stop it when they paid the grain together, but they could stop it at this time? ”
"Can't stop it!"
After groaning for a long time, Li Duxing said in a deep voice.
"That's it, do you have anything to say about the thirty tax on production? Even if the business tax and transaction tax are exempted, don't you still have to pay the 30 tax? Then I only pay production tax, what am I making a fuss about? ”
"There are no benefits, there are a lot of disadvantages, being stared at by the tax department, can you still do business?"
"As for the remaining two taxes, this is not confiscated, besides, even if it is collected, it is the transaction tax in front. Now Daming, who is in charge of the biggest deal? ”
Hearing his eldest brother's proud tone, Li Duxing immediately smiled: "Of course it's the eldest brother who decides!" ”
Li Shenxing waved his hand and said: "It's the Internal Affairs Government that calls the shots, and if you don't pay transaction tax, then you won't be able to do business with the Internal Affairs Bureau." If you don't do business with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you won't be able to do this business. ”
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is one word, that is "potential", which is the general trend. ”
"Your Majesty today, there are ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, martial arts students of the martial arts, business has the internal affairs government, taxation has the tax department, supplemented by Jinyi Weidong Factory and Inner Factory, Qi Zheng complements each other."
"Who in the world can resist this trend? Who would dare to resist this trend? ”
"From Zhang Juzheng's clearing of accounts and fields, to the emperor's official gentry receiving grain, today's saint has come step by step, and every step has been very steady, and today, no one can stop the general trend."
Li Duxing looked at his eldest brother and sighed in his heart, the eldest brother deserves to be the eldest brother!
"Big brother also understands the general trend?"
Li Shenxing said quite proudly: "I understood it back then, otherwise why would you go to the palace to face the saint with you as the eldest brother?" In the face of the general trend, everything is useless. ”
"If the tax is in the hands of the magistrate, maybe things won't be so easy."
"But the tax is in the hands of the tax department, and the magistrate must not interfere without reason, but if the tax cannot be collected, the magistrate must be responsible, and this is the wisdom of His Majesty."
"The collusion between the local rich businessmen and local officials is what is difficult to crack."
"Now that the tax department has intervened, the contact between the two sides has been completely cut off, unless it is hard with the tax department and does not pay taxes. Today, how many people have the courage not to pay taxes? ”
"Your Majesty has been working step by step, and today, it is already irreversible."
"Even if there are two or three jumping clowns, they can't make any waves."
Looking at his eldest brother's proud appearance, Li Duxing sighed in his heart, he remembered it clearly, the eldest brother was still worried a few days ago, saying that he was a little panicked all day long, but it was almost the same.
Of course, this question must not be raised now, as if it never happened.
The steady collection of Nanzhili's commercial tax has made countless people breathe a sigh of relief, including the civil officials of the imperial court. The fact that this time the taxes went so smoothly also had a lot to do with them.
Once there is no magistrate involved, the squires will not be able to make trouble if they want to.
The key problem is that the local civil officials really dare not make a fuss now. Not to mention the murder in Yangzhou, I haven't forgotten the incident in the capital just a few years ago! The two newly established yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the Law and Discipline Department and the other of the Anti-Corruption Department, were simply fatal.
Eighty hangings haven't passed yet!
The emperor's decree has long been spread all over the world, and if there is a problem with the commercial tax under anyone's rule, then go directly to whom. In today's style, it is estimated that losing officials is light.
Now the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have an idea in their hearts, and before the law comes out, they will not be embarrassed. Once he is hanged for 80 times, there is no place to cry. Many people were eager to try before, but later saw that the tax was still 30 taxes and 1, and the resistance was gone, so pay it!
