Chapter 1861: The New Deal

This new deal is really coming out after a long time!

Everyone is looking forward to cervical spondylitis!

In fact, it could have been promulgated more than a month earlier, and Han Yi originally expected that time, but because of Li Zhi's body, it has been delayed until now, don't look at it as just a month, but for the imperial court that has only been for more than a year, this month is also precious.

But in any case, this new policy can be regarded as promulgated!

Many people breathe a sigh of relief, whether it's good or bad, you have to send it out, otherwise, everyone is full of uncertainty about the future, and they can't let go of anything.

The core content of the New Deal is stamp duty, and almost all of the content revolves around this core.

At present, the agricultural mulberry tax is still the foundation of the country, this tax involves almost every people, every class, but this is similar to the content of the propaganda, or the inheritance of the tax amount of the land system, but it is calculated according to the number of acres, based on the tax amount and the number of acres before the land system, up and down in a certain proportion of increase or decrease. But there is a small difference here, the proportion of this increase is constant, for example, if one acre of land pays one bucket of grain, then one hundred acres of land is one hundred buckets, but below the benchmark, this tax is decreasing, you own forty acres of land and twenty acres of land, then it is not a double relationship, it is a relationship of several times.

In fact, this is to protect the small peasants at the same time, and no longer increase the burden on the landlords, if calculated in an increasing way, those landlords will really go crazy.

After the promulgation of the New Deal, the title deed must be printed, and the title deed that is not printed is a piece of waste paper, and the land is naturally owned by the state, which is clearly stipulated in the law.

In the past, the land allocated by the state fell into the hands of the landlord through the hands of the farmers, and everyone did not know whose land should be counted, and after the promulgation of the stamp duty, it was either private or state-owned, and there was no third possibility.

In order to make the stamp duty more convincing, the bill also stipulates that whenever there is a natural disaster and the people do not have a harvest, they will be automatically exempt from tax, which is one of the very important explanations of stamp duty, and there is no longer the government and the court to decide whether to pay taxes, and if there is no harvest, there is no need to pay taxes, which is provocative.

This agricultural tax is the foundation of the country, and it is a special tax in the stamp duty.

The vast majority of the stamp duty is still set at 1/1000, and less than 1,000 is also paid at the rate of one penny.

But there are also some contracts that have to pay very high stamp duty, and the highest stamp duty is the slave trade and land trade.

It is said that it is a slave, in fact, it is the highest stamp duty when it comes to human transactions, which is higher than the stamp duty on land, but there is a slave bill in front of it, which is basically changing the slave bill into stamp duty, but this stamp duty is mandatory, and it cannot be not stamped, just like the land, it is illegal to do not print, and you can not stamp other transactions, as long as you can trust the other party.

Moreover, whether it is the purchase or sale of land or the purchase and sale of people, the buyer is responsible for the stamp duty, and most of the stamp duty is borne by both parties.

Another point, everyone didn't think of it, that is, the workshop tax has not been completely abolished, but the tax is paid according to the land price, as for how many goods you produce, it doesn't matter if you, although this tax is also paid every year, but the tax is really not high, it is very low. This is done in order to promote the local states and counties to pay attention to commerce, because the workshop is taxed according to the land deed, so Chang'an merchants go to Yangzhou to build a workshop, and the tax of course belongs to Yangzhou, that is to say, the more the workshop is built, the more the workshop tax will be collected, the better the performance of the officials, and the more profits of the local government, because most of the stamp duty is given to the government as a subsidy.

If the wealth of production is taxed, it will inevitably lead to a rise in prices, and the wool has always come out of the sheep, and Datang has not yet reached this point.

However, how to ensure that stamp duty is enforced, then it is the establishment of the tax bureau, which everyone has heard of, but the specific details are not yet known.

The only function of the tax bureau is to investigate tax evasion, but they only have the right to investigate, not any law enforcement power, and this judicial power is still in the hands of the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Civil Security Bureau.

This is also to limit the excessive power of the tax bureau, and let them restrain each other, because the law must not be concentrated in the hands of one person, it must be checked and balanced by each other, so that the law will be more just, to say absolute fairness, that is also bullshit, it is impossible to do.

But how the tax bureau investigates, how it investigates, whether it is annual or semi-annual, does not say.

But at the same time, a very strict tax bill has been promulgated, at least at least five times the fine, up to a hundred times the fine, that is, the more you evade taxes, the higher the multiple of the fine, this is still Di Renjie came up with a solution, in fact, it is still protecting the rights and interests of the people, the big landlords who steal that penny of taxes, shame is not ashamed, they want to evade taxes, at least dozens of hundreds of times, then you will be punished for bankruptcy, the people, even if they evade taxes, it is certainly not much, and the fines are relatively light.

If officials are involved, they will at least be dismissed.

The tax bureau is not under the jurisdiction of the local prefectures and counties, but only obeys the orders of the central government, and the local officials have nothing to do with them.

In addition to fines, also promulgated credit rating, it is directly printed on the household register, from the beginning of the new policy, household registration will become very important, if you do not have a household registration, then in addition to your life is protected by the law, the rest are not protected, what labor bills, what education, all have nothing to do with you, not to mention the imperial examination, you don't even have the right to occupy the land, because you don't have a household registration, then you can't pay taxes, you don't pay taxes, the court can only out of humanity, protect your life.

There are five levels, the lowest level, and there is no qualification to even make a deed, the contract made by this kind of person, the court does not give protection, whoever wants to sign a contract with them, all the consequences are borne by themselves, even if you want to pay stamp duty, the court will not let it, any affairs related to the court, these people are not eligible to participate.

It takes three years to restore a level.

Of course, this verbal lying is not within the scope of credit, and it must be a violation of the sacred gentleman's contract, and this credit rating will be affected.

The idea of the rule of law in this is very important.

This leads to the problem of household registration, and the household registration must be replaced, and the imperial court stipulates that within three years, all the people of the Central Plains must be replaced with a new household registration, which actually gives those who used to hide their household registration in order to evade taxes a chance to reform themselves.

The meaning of this series of bills is very obvious, you can evade taxes, as long as you don't get caught, you are waiting for a huge fine.

It also stipulates that the tax rate will be renegotiated once every five years, which is also convenient for the macro control of the imperial court, in fact, many bills in the new deal have not yet been decided, and everyone can still discuss. Because the imperial court advocates credit, then first of all, the imperial court itself cannot go back on its word casually, but how can the imperial court limit itself to death, renegotiate once in five years, and the initiative will always be in the hands of the imperial court.

This is still expected by everyone, but when everyone hears these punishments, it is a little scary, too ruthless, but it is still within the acceptable range, and the most exciting news in the new deal, that is, the emperor takes the lead in paying taxes.

Regardless of the dynasty, Li Zhi must have been the first emperor to pay taxes.

In other words, the emperor pays taxes, and who can be exempt from taxes.

That is to say, all the shores of the land have to pay taxes, and after the promulgation of the new policy, there will be no tax-exempt households, and even the food system of the royal family has changed.

In the Zhou Dynasty, those princes had fiefs, which meant that they each had an army, and in the Tang Dynasty, the prince only had economic control over the food, and the upper limit of the prince of the Tang Dynasty was 1,000 households, that is to say, the taxes of these 1,000 households belonged to the prince, that is, they were paid to them as wages, but the prince himself sent people to collect taxes, which of course there would be oppression, and there were more than 1,000 households, but now, it can basically be said that the food system is abolished, that is, it is completely paid to the prince as a salary, and the tax is collected by the state. Then it was given to the princes, who did not have the power to collect taxes, but they gave them as much as they could.

I don't know that all the land owned by this prince has to be taxed.

It also includes military households.

However, in other aspects, the imperial court gives various benefits to military households, according to the number of military household expeditions, military exploits, to determine the amount of benefits, but it is not money, and the imperial court does not have any money, mainly education and loans, medicine, there are also certain benefits, but not much, military households from the gold bank, Yuan Bank of small loans, is not to pay interest.

Moreover, the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be given benefits during the New Year, which is equivalent to calculating this account, and the military registration households will benefit from it.

At this point, Li Ji and they have been promoting.

In addition to the emperor, there is also a group of people who are also required to pay taxes for the first time, which is Buddhism and Taoism.

This is the first time that Buddhism has been required to pay taxes since it entered the Central Plains.

In addition, the New Deal also includes the Labor Act, which means that after the New Deal is promulgated, the Labor Act must be implemented nationwide. This is also closely related to stamp duty, three hundred cents a month, that is the most basic, lower than this is illegal, but workers also have to pay taxes, the minimum tax of four cents, the higher the salary, the more taxes paid, this is determined according to the employment contract signed by both parties, but the nature of stamp duty is borne by both parties, only the land and slaves are borne by the buyer, that is, the employer has to help workers pay half of the tax, this is actually not much, compared to the rent modulation, but much lower.

Because businessmen do not need to pay personal income tax, it is difficult to investigate, so Han Yi put the taxes paid by businessmen in other aspects, but businessmen are still happier than landlords.

In addition, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Muzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, and other cities with rapid commercial development, most of the stamp duty must be paid to the imperial court, and even the way of printing is different from other states and counties, like those poor states and counties, the government can seal it, no other formalities are required, and the money obtained by the merchant deed is all regarded as the government's subsidy, and does not need to be handed over to the imperial court.

In that kind of commercially developed city, there must be a lot of stamp duty, of course, it cannot be all given to the government, which is supervised and restricted.

First of all, these places are to take the special seals, pigments, and decals given by the central government, and large amounts of contracts must use decals, this decal is specially produced by the central government, and it is made of the secret recipe in the palace, but it is not the government responsible for selling, but the gold bank and the yuan bank are responsible for sales, that is to say, you don't need to go to the government, you can go directly to the gold bank or the yuan bank to buy it, and the gold bank and the yuan bank can't make money from it, because the money you pay has to match the amount of the decal used, and this part of the tax money will go directly through the gold bank. The Yuan Bank was handed over to Chang'an, and there must be a gold bank or a Yuan bank in an economically developed city.

To help the imperial court do this, both the gold bank and the yuan bank do not collect money, including the treasury bonds issued earlier, in exchange for the imperial court's policy support for the gold bank and the yuan bank, which is actually a kind of transaction. The gold bank and the yuan bank do not need to pay stamp duty, but the imperial court recognizes that all the contracts they sign with the people are protected by the law, and if the gold bank defaults, you can go to the government to sue the gold bank, and there is no need for stamping.

If according to the final interpretation of stamp duty, the people go to the gold bank, the yuan bank to store, borrow, it is a contractual relationship, have to pay stamp duty, but the problem is that if the people deposit and withdraw money once, they have to pay stamp duty once, the gold bank, the yuan bank can not stand it, and the people can't stand it.

Finally, there are two additional policies, these two have little to do with stamp duty, but they are very important, and they are closely related to everyone's life, that is, the imperial court made it clear that it will take out one percent of the tax revenue for universal education, which is only the expenditure of the state treasury, and there are many policy aspects, all related to universal education, such as the workshop area, when the scale of the workshop reaches a certain level, it must have a college, and if it does not build a college, it must be closed.

The same is true for cities, economically developed cities must also have a certain number of colleges, and the more economically developed cities, the more stamp duty revenues there will be, which must be used for the people.

As for the second additional policy, Li Hong proposed a law to reduce the soldiers' joint sitting, as appropriate, and to pardon the families of soldiers who had been involved in the past because of the soldiers' desertion.

Although this suggestion was proposed by the prince, Li Zhi knew about it and was very pleased, and specially sent someone to tell Han Yi that they must make it clear that this was proposed by the prince and had nothing to do with you.

Because of Li Hong's policy, he can only show kindness to others, and he will not offend anyone.
