"What else?"

Ye Xianggao said in silence.

This is equivalent to the little emperor has tripled the customs revenue at once.

Although Guangzhou and Yuegang normally collect more than 60,000 foreign taxes every year, in fact, Wanli's tax supervisors can loot more than 300,000 from these two places, of course, it is difficult to say what is given to Wanli, in addition, their looting is multifaceted, not limited to overseas trade, but in essence, the source is still this.

Like Zhangzhou, in addition to overseas trade, can there be anything else to make money?

However, it does not hurt the businessmen much, because the tax supervisors and the officials who collect taxes are uncontrolled, compared to those of Wanli, these people are the most ruthless in this name, and the officials who collect taxes will definitely be abolished after the implementation of this kind of tax package, and the tax supervisors have been withdrawn, and in the end it is actually the original eunuchs and corrupt officials who are transferred to the hands of the emperor, but the merchants are really affected by the least......

Of course, there are also implications.

Because the tax collector still has to make a fortune.

But this is none of the emperor's business, for this is the struggle between the tax collector and the merchant, and the emperor's silver is in hand.

"Second, stamp duty."

Yang Xin said.

"What is stamp duty?"

Huang Daozhou said suspiciously.

"On behalf of the tax recognized by the government, all transaction contracts, whether real estate, land, loans, or even pawns, etc., including contracts for the transaction of ordinary goods, must be stamped at the Yamen, otherwise the contract is legally invalid."

Yang Xin said.

It is said that he came to Wuxi to know how rotten the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was, and there was no deed tax even for real estate transactions, legally there was, but no one collected it, it is said that it seemed that Hai Jui tried to collect it when he was the governor of Yingtian, but he was immediately angered by the people, and almost caused local trouble. In short, this kind of tax has finally become a thing that is ignored, and other transactions such as loans, pawns, etc., simply do not have any taxes, such taxes are not collected, that is simply intolerable!

"What does it mean to be legally invalid?"

Huang Daozhou said.

"It's very simple, the usury IOU must be stamped or printed by the government, otherwise the borrower will not care if he does not repay the court, this IOU is not printed that is a piece of waste paper, after the printing is the court guarantee, if something happens to the court management, there is no printing will not care.

If the borrower owes money and does not pay it back, the court will not care.

Your transaction did not benefit the court, why should the court worry about you, on the contrary, if you collect debts and beat someone and break the criminal law, then the court will have to deal with you. ”

Yang Xin said.

That's what his main purpose is.

Private lending in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is extremely prosperous, and from the pile of IOUs in Gao Panlong's family, we know that if this tax is really implemented, it will be no problem to increase hundreds of thousands of taels for the imperial court every year. In fact, when the household department wanted to relevle the deed tax, it planned to increase it by 100,000 taels a year, but their deed tax was only focused on real estate and land transactions, and such things as usury IOUs were ignored.

"The idea is good, but it's not easy to implement!"

Zhu Guozhen said.

"Do you mean the crowd is clamoring? Have you forgotten that juniors are good at dealing with this? ”

Yang Xin said with a smile.

Well, Zhu Guozhen didn't want to discuss it.

However, this is still feasible, and the reason why the land transaction is unwilling to pay the deed tax is not because of this tax, but because many fields are hidden fields, and the deed tax has to be left at the end of the deed, which means that the land tax must be paid in the future.

This is the main reason for the uproar.

But if it is a loan shark, a house transaction, a large goods transaction, if the tax rate is not high, everyone is still happy to stamp, after all, once someone has a crooked mind, then the contract will be invalid in the government, then it will be troublesome, and if this tax law is implemented, this kind of thing will definitely appear. At that time, the lenders could only rely on their ability, and in fact, there were ways to solve it, after all, the lenders were all powerful in the local area, but after all, it was not as simple as paying taxes.

The only problem is......

"Yang Yanshi is not afraid of the world's shame!"

Huang Daozhou said disdainfully.

"Don't be afraid, why are you afraid of being laughed at if you make this money in a dignified manner? Do you want to say that since ancient times, there has been no donation of dung, and now only fart has no tax? ”

Yang Xin said.

Zodiac Zhou was speechless.

"You're right, in Yang's view, there are only two inevitable things in life, the first is death, and the second is paying taxes.

If you want a court to maintain order and ensure that there will be no turbulent and troubled times, you need to avoid the invasion of foreign enemies and bloodstain the country again, and even need a court to keep everything in order in this country, so that you will not be robbed by bandits when you go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, then you have to pay taxes.

Don't talk about anything and compete with the people for profit.

Are you a people?

You are the soldiers, and those who have no food outside are the people. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Anything else?"

Ye Xianggao said.

"Yes, inheritance tax!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Don't talk yet!"

Then he pointed to Huang Daozhou and said.

The latter took a deep breath and swallowed back the sarcasm that had just reached his lips.

"This is not my originality, please look at this "Minggongshu Judgment Qingming Collection", there is a case of Zhu Xi's judgment, which clearly records the collection of testamentary tax in the Song Dynasty, and there are corresponding judgments on various property disputes, I think you should have seen this, right? So I think it's time to follow the example of the sages, any inheritance must pay taxes, those who have a will pay taxes according to the will, and those who do not have a will will follow the rules, but if the heir refuses to pay taxes, then he will definitely not have the right to inherit. ”

Yang Xin picked up a book and said with a smile.

This is not made up by him, the Southern Song Dynasty really collects testament tax.

However, it is not levied according to the estate, but according to the deed tax of the will.

And of course he has to revise it, if there is a will, then take the will to the government to seal, after the seal is paid, the heirs inherit according to the will, if it is not sealed, it is deemed that the will does not exist, how to divide it without a will or according to the past example, but the government issues a certificate, this certificate is also charged according to the testament tax, if there is nothing, then there is no right to inherit.

Whoever is willing to pay taxes will be given.

But this tax is levied on a ladder.

The higher the amount of inheritance, the higher the tax.

But it certainly doesn't affect the poor, most of the tenants don't even have a house, they have a fart inheritance to inherit, but the tax has a big impact on the rich because they have to face the reality that the local officials must be enthusiastic about enforcing the tax law. At that time, those successors had to spend money to buy these officials, and collect as little as possible their taxes, in fact, they eventually became corrupt officials and corrupt officials to collect money, but any tax will eventually be like this, the key is that with the enthusiasm of the officials, the court will definitely make a part.

"This is really unheard of since ancient times, and now there is no tax on the."

Huang Daozhou said.

"Anything else?"

Ye Xianggao said.

"There is also the re-establishment of the tax superintendent."

Yang Xin said.

"However, unlike the tax inspectors in the past, the duties of this tax supervisor are not to collect taxes, but to supervise the imperial history and inspect local tax revenues, and they are still filled by the central officials."

He said.

Tax supervision is indeed not a good policy.

It is inevitable that those eunuchs will do evil, Wanli gives them a quota, this quota cannot be collected or they dare not provoke the local gentry, for fear of being set on fire by the latter or thrown into the Yangtze River, the only way is to exploit the small merchants. This is the inevitable result, their duty is only to make money, it goes without saying which is safe, whether it is the money of the rich or the money of the poor, and the society that makes the bullets fly is the most real, and those eunuchs will also bully the weak and fear the hard.

In other words, how many of Wanli's tax supervisors were burned to death, beaten to death with sticks, thrown into the Yangtze River and drowned?

They also have to stay first.

Since this is the case, he will be changed to an inspector, and then give them a quota before leaving Beijing, and how much silver must be brought back when he goes out to inspect, and if he can't bring back 9,000 years old, he will be killed.

Then these people will go to the local officials.

Because they have no right to collect taxes, they have no chance to harm the common people, and their duty is only to check the implementation of the tax law by those officials, such as how much stamp duty has been paid, whether the inheritance tax has been bribed and then deliberately undercollected, and how much tax should be confiscated at the local level. It must be understood that the Ming Dynasty did not lack tax items, but local officials did not collect taxes at all, because while not collecting taxes, they could make money from them to fill their own pockets.

If the tax system is strict, how can they make money?

The more chaotic the local tax system, the easier it is for officials to fill their pockets, because when there are no rules, he is the only rule.

And these tax inspectors examined them.

The end result is that they have to bribe tax supervisors to protect themselves.

Apocalypse doesn't care about this, as long as the tax supervisor can bring back the silver, no matter how the money came from, whether it is to blackmail officials or check the accounts to find out, in short, if there is silver, everything will be fine, if there is no silver, he will be beaten to death.

It is not easy for officials to want to punish.

But the eunuch was beaten to death in the palace with a stick, and the emperor said a word!

"You're well-intentioned!"

Ye Xianggao sighed.

"Duke Taishan, you should be content, although Your Majesty is not Emperor Shenzong, didn't you learn from Taizu anyway? With the current mess of our Ming Dynasty, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will show the courage of Taizu? In the final analysis, it is not that we want to poison the gentry, but that the gentry are accustomed to being pampered and arrogant, and they must be sobered up with a ruler, and if the child is disobedient, it is time to spank. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Uncle, Nanjing's five hundred miles are urgent!"

Yang Huan suddenly ran in with a panicked face.

"In a panic, what kind of system is it?"

Yang Xin scolded.

"Uncle, Chen Youxue, the former deputy envoy of Jiangxi Province, called on the world's scholars to follow him into Beijing to knock on the drums and voice grievances on the grounds that his uncle caused trouble in Wuxi and brutalized Zhongliang in Nanjing, and Nanjing responded to more than 5,000 scholars from all over the country, and he has now taken these more than 5,000 scholars from all over the country to the north."

Yang Huan said.

"Just go, what can they do to me?"

Yang Xin said disdainfully.

"But they blocked the canal in Yangzhou, and all the boats going north in Jiangnan were blocked in Zhenjiang."

Yang Huan said.
