"Huh-" With a sound, Li Ruoxu, the former Yanjing guard with superb equestrian skills, strangled the Arabian horse under his crotch, and then turned over and dismounted. After moving his aching body for a moment, he threw the whip and reins to the guards standing nearby, and walked forward.

The State Administration of Taxation in Jinling City is located in the east of Xuanwu Lake and north of Zhongshan, near the mountains and waters, and the environment is not ordinarily beautiful. At this moment, it is the turn of summer and autumn, although it cannot be said that it is like spring and summer, flowers and green grass, but it is also different. A large area of fruit forests in the distance dotted the earth, with flowers and trees, made Li Ruoxu very nostalgic when he first came.

Yanjing City also has its own scenic spots, however, this is the imperial capital. Although Yanjing is expensive to accompany the capital, it is inferior after all.

Li Ruoxu moved from the remaining position in Yanjing to the State Administration of Taxation, so naturally there was no reason to be a deputy.

Although Lu Qian was very relieved of Jiang Jing and Xue Shao, it was impossible for him to ask someone to occupy a certain position for more than ten years. Not to mention whether it will be deeply rooted, it is difficult to say just the issue of honesty and integrity. His heavenly eyes can see loyalty clearly, but he can't see whether he is honest or not.

There are loyal and corrupt officials in this world, such as Zhu Dadian at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This person is greedy, during the period of serving as the governor of Fenglu, he looted and extorted people's wealth, greedily solicited money and bribes, and his extremely vicious state was called "Milk Tiger Goshawk", and he accumulated hundreds of millions of assets by greedy ink, and was one of the most corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian was impeached by the imperial history, lost his official position, and returned to his hometown Jinhua. However, when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, the Qing army approached Jinhua City, but the corrupt official Zhu Dadian was able to hold the big festival, destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, and insisted on not surrendering. In the end, when the city was broken, the whole family was martyred by gunpowder. Even when the Manchu Qing Dynasty compiled and revised the "History of the Ming Dynasty", they admired its courage and integrity very much, and called it "the fierceness of the death in eastern Zhejiang, not as good as the great canon". Who can say that such a person is not a loyal servant?

Therefore, such as Jiang Jing and Xue Shao, they have been in and out of the central government many times over the years.

It's not all about preventing them, it's about protecting them.

……

The issue of additional gold and silver banknotes has touched the hearts of many people. At the same time as the army attacked Northern Tianzhu, the officials of the relevant departments of the fiscal, financial, and trade systems of the Lu Qi Dynasty, such as the Ministry of Households, the General Administration of Taxation, the Customs and the major banks, were ordered by the cabinet to 'find a way'.

As the leader of the State Administration of Taxation, Li Ruoxu has paid more attention to the measures of 'brother units', but he pays more attention to exploring his own potential.

The two words "tax reform" are so heavy, Li Ruoxu still dare not touch them. He has just taken up his new post in the State Administration of Taxation, and his foundation has not yet been consolidated, and the weight of tax reform is too heavy and heavy.

All Li Ruoxu can do now is to make a few additional comments on XXX.

"Today's meeting will start with the liquor tax mentioned by Chief Inspector Liu." Li Ruoxu asked the secretary to serve tea to several of his cadres. Naturally, he doesn't know anything about taxation, but if he understands it thoroughly, it is obviously inferior to the people inside the State Administration of Taxation.

"The liquor tax issue mentioned by Chief Inspector Liu is very insightful, and everyone can express their opinions after listening. Now the situation is a bit tense, and our State Administration of Taxation can't be left behind. As he spoke, Li Ruoxu gestured to one of the people sitting under his hand.

Chief Inspector Liu is the boss of the internal supervision system of the State Administration of Taxation, and naturally he is also one of the bigwigs, but he is still a passerby, so he is not famous.

This will only listen to him say in a calm tone: "Since the beginning of the founding of the country, there has been no alcohol ban, and there is no alcohol monopoly. However, if the wine is not out of the local area, there is no tax. ”

This is actually a tax-free situation. Because once the wine goes out of the local area, when it is sold across borders, or is sold by restaurants, it is only a commercial tax or business tax as a part of ordinary goods, and a single wine tax still does not exist.

The Lu Qi Dynasty did not abolish the liquor tax in name, but it was in name only.

This can be said to be very different from the previous dynasty. The liquor tax has been levied since the sixth year of the Western Han Dynasty (81 BC), and it has been followed in all dynasties. Yang Sui was exempted for a while, but the Tang Dynasty reinstated the liquor tax, and from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty, it was mainly monopoly, supplemented by taxation.

"Taking Zhao and Song as an example, its cupbearers are divided into three types: liquor monopoly, koji monopoly and tax liquor. Wine koji is necessary for winemaking, Zhao Song in Tokyo, Xijing, Beijing three places to implement the monopoly of wine koji, because there are many rich and powerful eunuchs there, the consumption of wine is large, the court to provide wine, there are many inadequate; In various states and cities, the liquor monopoly is directly implemented; Each county or local government implements tax payment or liquor monopoly. This was conducive to the imperial court obtaining more liquor taxes.

And my dynasty has always been forbidden. ”

Lu Qichao not only couldn't help but make wine privately, but it was a restaurant restaurant, and his own wine was ignored. Unless you want to sell the liquor to another place, and the liquor passes through the customs, it becomes a commodity, and then there will be taxes and fees.

The meaning of this chief inspector surnamed Liu is to regain the old policies of Zhao and Song, improve them, take their essence and eliminate their dross, and adapt to Lu Qi's current social conditions, so that he will definitely be able to make a large amount of money.

Li Ruoxu agreed with this, and the chief inspector surnamed Liu had privately told him that if this strategy could be implemented, the central and local fiscal revenues would be no less than 10 million. If this matter is successful, he can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the position of the top leader of the State Administration of Taxation.

It must be known that the liquor tax in the Zhao and Song dynasties was 8 million yuan at its peak. With Lu Qi's current situation, as long as he grasps it a little, even if it is not as harsh as Zhao Song, he can do it with an annual income of tens of millions. For this wine is not the same as wine.

Chief Inspector Liu believes that Lu Qichao is now too relaxed on the tax on alcohol. Regardless of the price of liquor, unless it is for foreign trade, if it is only bought and sold and transported in the country, it will be treated as an ordinary commodity and will be taxed according to a uniform 'customs clearance tariff'. Isn't that too cheap for those high-end drinks?

The profits they generate far exceed those of ordinary commodities.

To put it simply, it doesn't matter whether the alcohol tax is or not, and the uniform tax rate for alcohol, food, silk and other daily commodities is only taken as a customs tariff. Even when it is sold to the hands of the drinker, the store restaurant needs to pay only a business tax. Mix the drinks with the ingredients.

Is this actually no liquor tax? In the case of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, this was a great waste.

It's like equating the tax rate of wine with the chicken, duck and fish in the restaurant in the later generations, isn't this intentionally indulging the winemaking industry? That is, Lu Qi Dynasty did not lack food.

In the eyes of people in today's era, this is to mix cheap goods with luxury jewelry, and all of them are taxed at a certain level, isn't this very cheap and cheap those 'luxury jewelry'?

Chief Inspector Liu believes that it is necessary for the State Administration of Taxation to issue a supplementary regulation to uniformly levy liquor tax on liquor and liquor, and at the same time to assign a three, six, nine and other categories to thousands of "liquor" in China, and then levy different tax rates on different grades of liquor. Because the raw materials of the wine are the same grain in the final analysis, and the wine made from the same grain and rice is very different from each other, then the tax should be paid! Just like the porcelain, it is divided into coarse porcelain, ordinary porcelain, fine porcelain, and high-grade porcelain, and different grades are levied with different proportions of taxes, which are all ways to get money.

What's more, these tens of millions of silver dollars seem to be a lot, but in fact they are not as good as eight million yuan, and three silver dollars are only equivalent to two taels of silver, that is, two yuan.

This amount is far from the end of the liquor tax!

The Lu Qi Dynasty was prosperous, and the people were stable, whether it was for drinking it for oneself or for sale, alcohol was a large consumption category. Ten million silver dollars is a fart, the imperial court really has to be serious, and twenty or thirty million silver dollars can't stop it. ()
