Stamp duty?

What the hell is this?

In the main hall, everyone was confused, let alone understanding, they couldn't imagine it at all!

Han Yi waited for a while, and directly embarrassed himself, before hurriedly explaining: "In fact, this stamp duty is a kind of deed tax. ”

The crowd reacted immediately.

Li Zhi said angrily: "You just say deed tax, what stamp duty do you say, it's really a trick." ”

Han Yi said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to be more elegant, after all, after being an official for so many years, it's not good to always be like a Tian She'er." ”

Li Zhi was angry and funny: "When you were elegant, you were very vulgar, but now let you speak more bluntly, and you can say it again--- in fact, this is what kind of elegance." ”

Li Hong pursed his lips when he heard it, he didn't expect the meeting to be so interesting.

“......！”

Han Yi was embarrassed by Li Zhi, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister said this is because this kind of deed tax is also different from the previous deed tax, and it is easier to understand that it is called stamp duty." ”

Zheng Shanxing said thoughtfully: "Although this deed tax has a certain relationship with land annexation, it cannot replace the rent regulation. ”

"That's what's different, and let me take my time."

Han Yi coughed lightly and said: "The reason why I thought of this stamp duty is mainly because of the Northwest Trade, when the trade was signed with the Northwest merchants, it was indeed guaranteed by the imperial court, and the imperial court should also be responsible, there is nothing to say." But many people were dissatisfied, including Li Yifu, who thought that this was unfair to the imperial court, why did the imperial court guarantee this, why did the imperial court bear the consequences, and why did the imperial court stop such a big burden for no reason.

And all this is promoted by the minister, the minister has also thought carefully about this, and found that this does not conform to the spirit of consideration in the sacred gentleman's contract, according to the spirit of consideration, the court must at least gain from it, before it has the obligation to assume this responsibility, although the court has gained in the overall situation, but in terms of buying and selling alone, they did not give the court any benefits, and this trade, in essence, is still a sale, in order to solve this problem, make everything more fair, the minister thought of this stamp duty.

The so-called stamp duty is a certain tax levied according to a certain percentage of the transaction amount after the two parties sign the contract. But if the imperial court sent people to collect it, it would be very difficult, and the manpower invested was also considerable. Weichen thought of a way, but if the contract is stamped with the exclusive seal of the imperial court, it can be protected by the government, otherwise, the government has no obligation to guarantee it. ”

Zheng Shanxing asked, "Then can you not print it?" ”

Whether it is mandatory or not is very important for everyone, but this is also the most subtle part of stamp duty.

Han Yi said: "Of course you can, but if something goes wrong, the government can not accept it, and both parties will bear it themselves, which is a matter of course, when there is a dispute over the contract, it must be sued to the government, and the government has to spend manpower and material resources to deal with it, so they should pay taxes." ”

Zheng Shanxing frowned and said: "If it is levied too much, it will be more ruthless than tariffs, and if it is low, it will not be much money." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "This stamp duty should not be levied too high, but this stamp duty should not be underestimated, although the imperial court in each contract, only a little bit of tax, but it can be accumulated into a lot, and the cost is very low, no need to manage the contract, only need to pay money, stamp, moreover, it is not mandatory, if both parties trust each other, then you can not print, but if something happens, don't look for the court, if the people are dissatisfied, you can not print, the court did not force you to print." ”

Absolutely!

It's amazing!

Li Ji and the others looked at Han Yi with great admiration.

If you don't say that, people really won't print, but you say so, can people still not print, then you can break the contract at any time, what is the meaning of the contract, it is better to have a verbal agreement.

It's really plucking the most goose feathers and listening to the least goose calls

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this method is quite convenient." But as Zheng Shilang said earlier, this tax still can't replace the rent regulation, and most of your tax is for businessmen. ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, there are many kinds of contracts, of course, this stamp duty can also be divided into many kinds, but the center is around the contract, the sale contract is a contract, and the land deed is of course also a contract." Take the land deed as an example, if there is no printed land deed, then for the imperial court, it is an ownerless wasteland, and the imperial court can naturally take it back. Once the flower is printed, it means that the court recognizes the land you own, and this stamp only determines the legitimacy of the land ownership.

But once it's legal, it's taxable. As mentioned earlier, stamp duty is levied on a certain percentage of the number of transactions in the contract. Of course, the field tax should also be, and the field has particularity, because the field can continue to generate benefits, so naturally it has to pay taxes every year, and paying taxes according to the amount of output is equivalent to paying taxes according to the number of acres of land. However, there was a uniform field system before, and the imperial court still had to inherit the uniform field system, and this proportion was calculated according to the proportion of the uniform field system, for example, one hundred acres, two stone millet, then two hundred acres, four stones. ”

One suddenly asked, "How do you count the one hundred and fifty acres?" ”

Han Yi looked at the man expressionlessly and said, "If you want me to help you calculate, then I will take the opportunity to demonstrate the importance of my sage six learnings." ”

"Excuse me!"

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Your sage six studies will be put aside first, I know what you mean, one hundred and fifty acres will be counted as one hundred and fifty acres." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "It's not difficult to calculate. Weichen thinks this is reasonable, since you own so much land, then you should undertake so many obligations, if everyone wants to be the landlord, and is unwilling to pay taxes, the court has no money, and the people have no money, the country is finished, and the landlord will inevitably survive? It is the state that guarantees the rights and interests of the landlords, and the landlords should bear this responsibility. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It should be so!" ”

Those ministers are all entangled, and it is of course advantageous to legalize the land they annexed, but paying taxes hurts their rights and interests.

"Wait."

Di Renjie suddenly stood up and said: "Shang Shuling's stamp duty is indeed fair, but the imperial court can't ignore a problem, some people are tax-exempt households for various reasons, if the land annexation is legalized, then they can annex the land without restrictions, which is even more unfair." ”

Han Yi said: "It's very simple, cancel the tax exemption for everyone. ”

Cui Ji's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Is it even Your Majesty?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was immediately shocked.

I'll you! Taxing the emperor is really --- too exciting.

Li Zhi looked stunned, and he was also a little confused, do you want to rebel? Dare to collect taxes from me.

Han Yi panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about, of course Your Majesty is not included!" Under this whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. ”

Finally, there is a reasonable person! Li Zhi glanced at Cui Jijian unhappily, but he didn't make a sound.

Lu Shigua immediately said: "If Your Majesty does not pay the tax, then the cancellation of everyone's tax exemption is also a superfluous move, because this stamp duty cannot be enforced at all." It is conceivable that if there is only one person in the world who does not pay taxes, then this loophole will slowly expand, and many relatives of the emperor will also annex land in the name of His Majesty, and those landlords and gentry will naturally not be convinced, they will definitely use this to criticize the court and refuse to pay stamp duty. ”

Li Hong listened to it with a straight head, he was not deeply involved in the world, and he felt that Lu Shigua was quite right.

When those ministers saw it, they all thought it was funny, people want to collect taxes from your family, and you are still nodding here.

Li Zhi glanced at Li Hong's serious expression, couldn't help but smile slightly, and at the same time thought about it carefully, he is actually a very thrifty emperor, this is a habit that has been cultivated since childhood, and he recognizes that thrift is a virtue, this country is in trouble, he also took out his own money, although it is for the army, for his own people, but he still took it out, this is not easy, it can be seen that what he cares about most in his heart is not to pay taxes, but to tax the emperor, which damages the majesty of the emperor, in other words, this law must override the supremacy of imperial power.

He's thinking more about that.

For any emperor, power always comes first.

But it's still that sentence, if the skin doesn't have hair, if the country has money, is the emperor afraid that there is no money, now the country is like this, everyone has no money, no matter what, get the money first, which is equivalent to paying a little price in exchange for a greater return.

"If I am willing to pay this tax, do you think this stamp duty can be enforced?" Li Zhi swept his eyes and asked.

Lu Shigua and Cui Jijian nodded affirmatively, and finally Han Yi also nodded.

Your emperor has started to pay taxes, who would dare not pay stamp duty.

"Wait!"

Li Ji, who has never opened his mouth much, suddenly spoke up.

Li Zhi immediately looked at Li Ji and said, "I don't know what Sikong thinks about this?" ”

Li Ji said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, once the rent regulation is replaced by stamp duty, then the uniform land system will not be maintained, and this uniform land system cannot be easily abolished. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The government soldiers are built on the uniform field system, and if the uniform field system is abolished, it is equivalent to burying the government soldiers with their own hands!

After all, the Juntian system is the fundamental law of the country, and it involves all aspects.

Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Han Yi again, what's the use of what you said about such a fanciful situation, you can't mess up the army.

Han Yi smiled slightly: "Sikong should also know that in fact, the land of many government soldiers has been annexed." ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "The old man naturally knows something about this, but it's only a part."

Han Yi said: "Then Sikong thinks that our dynasty's Juntian system can be implemented forever?" After all, there is so much land, and the population is increasing all the time, and sooner or later, the imperial court will not be able to give land to the soldiers, and at that time, an even greater crisis may break out,"

Li Jidao: "If you can come up with a better way, of course the old man will support it, but your stamp duty, first, will cause the land of the soldiers to be annexed faster, and second, the soldiers will have to bear taxes, which is not good news for our Tang army." ”
