"We will now proceed to the discussion and voting on the second motion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xia Yang turned out another bill, "This is submitted to the General Assembly by the previous committee. Regarding the estate of Deng Zhaohui and the disposal of the property of Wu Zhenhan and Tang Han, that is, Tao Min and Tao Gong, two defectors in the crossing group. This matter has dragged on for almost 2 years, and I hope to come up with a resolution today. ”

"Deng Zhaohui's estate does not need to be disposed of." Tan Jing was the first to stand up and said, "Deng Zhaohui has a family, and Miss Jiang has already married Deng Zhaohui." Besides, Miss Jiang is now widowing Deng Zhaohui, and his inheritance should be inherited by Miss Jiang. ”

"Director Tan, what you're saying is wrong." Luan Xu stood up and said, "Deng Zhaohui's inheritance belongs to the Crossing Group, if Deng Zhaohui has a child, then it is no problem for the child to inherit it, but Miss Jiang can't, how can the assets of the Crossing Group be given to the people of the Ming Dynasty." Moreover, they were only engaged, not officially married. What if Miss Jiang remarries in the future, will she just take Deng Zhaohui's inheritance away? ”

"And what if she doesn't marry?" Cheng Yiyi also stood up, "Are we just watching this Ming Dynasty girl live alone for the rest of her life?" ”

"Don't make any noise." Xu Lang asked Shi Xianyang, "Xianyang, do we have any laws and regulations on inheritance?" ”

"Not yet." Shi Xianyang spread his hands helplessly, "We have never thought of this problem before, so there has been no legal provision in this regard." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Daxing shouted, "Isn't it over formulating one now?" ”

"That's not going to work either." Shi Xianyang said, "According to the provisions of our "Legislation Law", even if a "Inheritance Law" is formulated now, it can only be effective for future cases, and it is not binding on Deng Zhaohui. ”

"Then I think it's better to vote." Xu Lang didn't have any good ideas.

After some heated debate, the conference made a compromise resolution on the disposal of Deng Zhaohui's estate. Deng Zhaohui's shares in the Cross Group are still held by the Cross Group, and the annual dividends and the basic living expenses of Deng Zhaohui every month during his lifetime are received by Ms. Jiang. If Miss Jiang remarries in the future, she will give a lump sum of 10% of the inheritance as a buyout. If Miss Jiang never remarries, after a hundred years, the remaining shares will be held by the Cross Group as a fund.

This fund was established specifically by the General Assembly. With regard to the property of Tao Min and Tao Gong, the General Assembly passed the resolution with an overwhelming majority of votes in favor. All the shares and property of the two people were confiscated, and the money was used to set up a special patent bonus, which was used to reward the Ming Dynasty people who made achievements in technological innovation and invention every year.

Shi Xianyang voted against this approach, arguing that a distinction should be made between political stance and personal property, and even the ancient Athenian "pottery banishment law" did not confiscate the private property of the exiled.

Shi Xianyang submitted an objection to the General Assembly, saying that the confiscation of Tao Min and Tao Gong's personal property violated the 11th Amendment to the East China Sea Pearl Convention, "The sanctity of personal property" and the 12th Amendment, "No one shall be deprived of his life, liberty or property without due process of law; Private property may not be used for public use. and requested the General Assembly to initiate a constitutional review mechanism.

However, Shi Xianyang's constitutional review mechanism was not activated, because the amendment to Article 9 of the East China Sea Pearl Convention also provides that "any person who crosses the Sea shall have the right to challenge a legal provision that he or she considers to be contrary to the spirit of the East Sea Pearl Convention to the Crossing Assembly, which must provide a written reply within one month." "So, the Crossing Conference postponed this matter for a month.

Through the discussion and deliberation of various bills one after another, the conference has not been held for a week.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Xia Yang sat on the rostrum again, "The bill we are going to discuss today was collectively submitted by the previous committee, on the issue of collecting industrial and commercial taxes in Yulin Bay and places we can control, such as Wanzhou, Jinpu in Vietnam, Puliange and other places. ”

On the issue of collecting taxes, I don't know how many times it has been discussed at the conference, but each time the result is rejected, and the reason is the same every time, the reality of the Ming Dynasty is not suitable for collecting industrial taxes and commercial taxes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an old saying." Xia Yang said, "But this issue is currently very important to the development of our Yulin Bay. We all know our current financial situation, and I would like to ask Mr. Lu to talk to you about the specific issues of this proposal. ”

The traversers all quieted down, and Lu Tianxiang took out a motion: "Everyone, our last traversal conference set a tone, hoping to cooperate with Wang Kezong and collect a certain amount of taxes in Qiongzhou Mansion." But now it seems that Wang Kezong is very worried about collecting taxes, and he thinks more about his reputation, so we have to do it ourselves. ”

Lu Tianxiang looked around the venue and continued: "We now have a population of more than 53,000 people in Yulin Bay, and the population of Wanzhou Leased Land is also 12,000 people. Vietnam's Kam Phu currently has 13,000 people and Pliango has 5,000 people. Although we have gone to Singapore now, we have not been able to completely control Malacca, and there are not many people in Singapore except for our own army, so we do not consider Singapore for this tax collection first. ”

When Lu Lao said this, everyone looked at Li Fuqiang, who rushed back from Singapore. Li Fuqiang pointed at the rostrum, meaning that it was useless to look at me, let's listen to what Lu Lao said.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Lu Tianxiang continued, "It's been five years since we landed, but we still use the enterprise model to run Yulin Bay. This model may have been possible in the past, but it will definitely have many drawbacks for future development, and we must transform it into a government model. ”

"Lu Lao." Finally, someone asked, "If you want to collect taxes, how much tax rate is appropriate, will it cause disgust among the people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"On the issue of tax rates, we had a preliminary idea in the last committee." Lu Tianxiang replied, "Whether it is the shops of the Ming Dynasty or our own, including those that have not yet been assigned to individuals, a 5% business tax will be charged temporarily." According to Sun Tianhao's statistics, excluding our arms business, the trade volume in Guangzhou, Qiongzhou, Vietnam and other places, plus the non-governmental trade volume, is about 4 million taels of silver. If a 5% sales tax is charged, that's 200,000 taels. ”

"It's only 200,000, that's enough for something." The traversers began to talk again.

"That's right, 200,000, then it's better to sell more warships, one warship is 200,000."

"Everyone, everyone, be quiet." Sun Tianhao stood up and shouted, "200,000 is indeed not much, but this is a start, and we can't expect to use this tax to solve our Yulin Bay's finances." Therefore, the Commercial Bureau and the Joint Industrial Bureau have also submitted a bill, hoping that all civilian products can be released to individuals in the form of joint ventures or sole proprietorships, and we will only keep the arms business ourselves. ”

"Okay, our glass, sugar, and soap can make a lot of money." The crowd began to quarrel again.

"Be quiet, be quiet." Xia Yang patted the table, "I will say a few words as the director of the previous industrial bureau. Our civilian products do have a lot of profits, but the key is that we don't have anyone now. These products take up a lot of labor, and our next step will be to shift our focus to the arms business. Han Wantao brought back the news, the Ming Dynasty is now very interested in our arms, and we have signed a contract with Westerners, and the profits of arms are much higher than those civilian products. ”

"There's one more question." Lu Tianxiang took over, "Since we want to transform the Ming Dynasty and let it develop into a modern industrial and commercial society, then we must encourage the people of the Ming Dynasty to conduct more business and get rid of the model of an agricultural society." Now Wu's textile factory has paid off the bank loan, and the annual net profit is more than 3,000 taels, which has long been a household name in the entire Qiongzhou capital. We can take her as an example and train a few more sisters-in-law Wu, which is beneficial to the transformation of the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

"But Lu Lao." Di Chong asked below, "If these enterprises are released to our own people, it will be nothing, but if they are released to the people of the Ming Dynasty, will they run well?" Let's work hard to build up the business network in Qiongzhou Mansion and Guangzhou, don't let these Ming Dynasty people ruin it again. ”

"Di Chong, you haven't taken a good look at our proposal." Sun Tianhao shouted, "As for how to release it to individuals and what to do after release, the bill is clear." ”

"There are more than 30 bills, how can I have the time to read them one by one." Di Chong replied.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Sun Tianhao had no choice but to explain, "There are conditions for us to hand over these enterprises to individuals, and we will not let them out all at once, and we will implement the public-private partnership model within three years." Establish a standard of profit and sharing, and if the plan can be completed after three years, it will be fully distributed to the individual. ”

The issue was debated for another whole day. When the meeting was adjourned, the conference finally came up with a resolution agreeing to the transfer of civilian product enterprises to individuals through public bidding. At the same time, the Customs and Taxation Bureau was established to collect business tax and import and export tax in the control area of Yulin Bay. Li Lin is the director of customs, and Cheng Yiyi, director of the tax bureau.

When the meeting ended, Xia Yang took out another bill: "Everyone, let's go back tonight and take a good look at this bill." This is a joint proposal of the Industrial Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau and the Commerce Bureau, and we will discuss this proposal tomorrow on the cultivation of tobacco in Yulin Bay and the development of the tobacco industry. ”

The traversers who had already gotten up and started walking out stopped one after another.

"Tobacco? This is a profiteering industry, so you have to take a good look. The people went home while they were talking.

When Cheng Yiyi and Xu Lang returned home, Zhao Zhiruo had already prepared dinner.

"Zhiruo, didn't you let you rest, why are you busy again." Xu Lang complained distressedly.

"No, I didn't." Zhao Zhiruo held her waist and replied sweetly, "I was bored in the house, and it was all made by their two maids." ”

The three of them sat down at the dinner table, Xu Lang just picked up the chopsticks and suddenly said: "Bihe, Ziyun, you go and get two pairs of chopsticks, in the future, we will eat together as a family, don't eat in two places." ”

Two little maids, you look at me, I look at you, no one understands why this Mr. Xu suddenly said that.

"Xu Lang." Zhao Zhiruo smiled, "Are you optimistic about anyone, I don't mind." ”

"What's on whom?" Cheng Yiyi asked puzzledly, "Zhiruo, do you think he still has the heart to take a good look at someone now?" ”

Xu Lang knew that Zhao Zhiruo had misunderstood what he meant. In ancient China, the status of wives and concubines was very different. The relationship between a husband and a concubine is "the way of the husband and the way of the husband". When getting along with her husband, the concubine can only "stand" and does not enjoy the treatment of "waiting". As for the relationship between the wife and the concubine, the relationship refers to the "mother's way" and the "sister's way". When the wife and concubine are seated with the husband, the main wife has the status of "motherhood", so the concubine has no right to sit together; When the wife and concubine and the husband are seated separately, the main wife does the "sisterly way", and the concubine can sit together. In family etiquette, the status of concubines is not only not comparable to that of the main wife, but even compared with those so-called "son-in-laws" (daughters-in-law), the status of concubines is also slightly inferior.
