At noon on July 13, everyone arrived one after another, and saw that everyone was gathered together, almost the lobby was crowded, sitting at the top were county magistrates or something, and below there were more than 20 big businesses and big workshop shopkeepers.

When everyone heard the news, they were all nervous, someone attacked the New Deal like this, and it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky today.

Some of those who participated in the ridicule begged for more blessings, hoping that they would only be in the flail (on the flail), and not to be beaten on the board, let alone sentenced to exile.

Yang Xuan came to the yamen in a new military uniform, since the release of the new military uniform, he rarely wears an official uniform, not to mention that the official uniform is too big and uncomfortable to wear, just to say that he is still wearing a robe on a hot day.

Although it was made of fine silk and didn't feel too hot on the body, the person who was used to short clothes and short coats in his previous life wore a new military uniform and walked out.

Everyone looks weird, there is no official authority, but it looks heroic.

He wears a large-brimmed hat on his head, and two neat rows of large buttons on either side of his chest, which are made of brass and covered with a layer of gold leaf.

In addition, the shoulders are deliberately raised and thickened, and there is also a long strip with gold leaf on the left and right shoulders.

Of course, everyone didn't know the meaning, but one by one they were still quite panicked, and everyone hurriedly saluted, some kneeling, some arching, and so on.

Yang Xuan felt funny, and after letting everyone sit down, he opened the sentence and asked everyone to summarize the gains and losses of the business endowment in the new deal.

Yang Xuan sat on the top with an expressionless face, and Zhou Zheng, the governor of the Department of Experience, next to him, called everyone's names one by one and asked everyone to speak.

To everyone's surprise, the first to name those lowly merchants, everyone did not dare to say that the new deal was bad, everyone just said that they were rated as super-class, and the business was much more prosperous than in the past.

But seeing a brothel and a casino is also super class, everyone feels quite uncomfortable.

In addition, some faintly mentioned that there are still yamen extorting bribes, and there are also ruffians and other scoundrels, extortion.

Yang Xuan listened, nodded from time to time, and sometimes interjected a few sentences, but everyone was frightened, and some of them actually wiped the sweat beads on their faces with sweat towels when they spoke.

It took a full hour like this, and finally it was Yang Xuan's turn, seeing everyone's tense expressions, Yang Xuan laughed out loud to relieve everyone's nervousness.

Looking at everyone, Yang Xuan spoke for an hour, from having money to paying, to contributing, and those who can work hard.

From the meaning of taxation to the redistribution of wealth.

Looking at everyone's stunned looks, Yang Xuan secretly felt very refreshed, and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone says that they help the old and the young, and help the disadvantaged, think about it, are you paying higher taxes than ordinary farmers?"

A homesteader cultivating his own land is calculated according to fifteen acres, and the land tax is six cents per mu.

In addition, each adult male has to pay 1 yuan and 2 cents of the tax, plus forced labor, plus commercial endowment or something, so far more than 10% of the annual income, and the maximum commercial endowment is only 8%.

According to the third-class nine rules, ordinary merchants have less than 5% of their annual business endowment, even if they are super merchants, they are only 8%, their goods are only 3% of their county customs endowments, and their government is only 5%.

And 5% of the tax paid can also be used to offset the tax payment, so that the tax paid by the merchant is far lower than that of the ordinary yeoman farmer. ”

Everyone looked at each other, which was basically a fig leaf lifting, and bluntly saying that everyone said that casinos and brothels were super-class but a fig leaf against the New Deal.

In addition, I also clearly tell everyone that don't look at everyone paying more taxes, but there are more people than everyone, and the people have not complained.

But everyone didn't dare to refute it, and the facts put forward proved that this was true, and everyone kept saying that they wanted to be Confucian businessmen, but they didn't pay more taxes than the common people.

Since this layer of window paper has been pierced, everyone has nothing to argue, and some people seem to refute it from other aspects.

A middle-aged shopkeeper in a short coat stood up, shook his head and said: "What the adults said is not unreasonable, but in addition to normal taxes, the officials also have to take care of it, although the implementation of the new policy now does not need to be like in the past, but there are still some officials who openly ask for bribes."

In addition to those hateful officials, what is even more hateful is those ruffians and hooligans, who come to ask for bribes every now and then.

My lord, if you add these up, the burden on our merchants is not 5%, 8% from time to time, but 10% or 20%. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked pitiful and wailed loudly.

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I also know this, but have you ever thought about it, in the past, the government stipulated that the field was only 6 cents per mu, but the government officials actually received 2 cents, 3 cents per mu, and now they receive up to 6 cents per mu."

We must do things to the root cause, and we must treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and this official has adhered to this principle since he came to power.

Although there are still officials who accept bribes, it has now been resolved from the system, and Pengzhou has begun to choose village elders and squires as councilors.

If you think that your character, knowledge, and prestige in society are enough to be a member of the Legislature, you are welcome to run for election.

If there is a servant who dares to accept bribes, as long as it is verified to be true, no matter who he is, he will be dismissed from his post with a cane, sentenced to military service at a serious level, and may lose his head if he is even worse.

Also, you say that the ruffians and hooligans are asking for bribes, and you still have the face to say that, you actually support these ruffians and hooligans and are unwilling to pay taxes, you must know that taxes are a means of income adjustment.

Even so, I can punish the local ruffians, all the ruffians who dare to extort money, and the hooligans who do not do their jobs properly for the sake of the locality, once discovered, although they are not worthy of the sentence, I can set up a labor camp and send them to the labor camp for labor re-education.

Now there are a lot of taxes, but everyone knows that the rogue is in chaos and needs money to fight a war.

After the military needs are resolved, we will return a batch to various counties to be used to build roads and bridges, and to train the township heroes. ”

Everyone was speechless, and everyone didn't dare to refute the new deal, let alone Yang Xuan, one by one, they were worried about what would happen if they were replaced by a corrupt official in the future?

In addition, everyone was also quite curious about labor education, and after some explanation, it turned out that all the local ruffians, scoundrels, and hooligans, who did not constitute the conscription of the army, were gathered together to carry out tuntian or other work, so as to exercise their self-survival ability and means, instead of staying in the local disaster township.

What the Chinese believe is that the chaotic times use heavy codes, and everyone hates the ruffians and scoundrels, and when they hear that these ruffians can be punished, many people support them one after another.

Yang Xuan tried his best to persuade everyone, everyone was under official authority, but he just hoped that he could be treated separately from casinos and brothels.

Seeing everyone leave, Fan Wenguang stood in front timidly, shook his head and said, "My lord, Xia Guan initially just thought that everyone was against being tied with brothels and casinos.

The people's hearts are sinister, and I can't imagine that some people have ulterior motives to attack the New Deal. ”

Standing up and walking back and forth a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Fan Tongzhi, do you think this level of tax collection is reasonable?" ”

After thinking about it, Fan Wenguang shook his head and said: "My lord, this, this tax is equivalent to peeling the skin, although it is reasonable, but of course these who are skinned are unwilling." ”

Yang Xuan nodded, motioned for everyone to leave first, and lay down on the recliner in deep thought.

At this time in history (beginning in 1644), King Charles I of England fell out with Parliament over the increase in taxes, and the two sides fought each other.

A hundred years later, King Louis XVI of France was guillotined because of taxes and bourgeoisie.

Now that he wants to implement the new policy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to fight back against the local tyrants, the Great Western Liukou, and the Southern Ming bureaucrats, and the barbarian Qing Dynasty, is the fate of this life already doomed?

After thinking hard all night, Zhao Sixuan was in charge of restricting the development of brothels through the access permit system.

Only two casinos are allowed in the counties, and casinos with more than 10 people are allowed to admit, and in addition to the 10% of the turnover, a casino supervision fee of 5% is levied.

Only two large brothels are allowed in the counties, and for those with more than 10 prostitutes, a 5% supervision fee is levied in addition to a 10% levy on turnover.

For the top three businesses and workshops in each county, if it is confirmed that there is no tax evasion, the government will issue honorary plaques to reward them.

The implementation of the tax sharing system, for the total tax paid, each county retains 20%, and the retained tax expenditure is subject to the supervision of the future parliament.

Counties need to control administrative and personnel expenditures below 10% of the total tax, and the rest of the retained part should be used for the construction of local public facilities.

This satisfies the nominal demands of large merchants and large industrial households, who nominally demanded to distinguish themselves from the notorious industries such as casinos and brothels, and this time they met everyone's demands.

In addition, it also meets the requirements of the local gentry, local autonomy, and the co-governance of the gentry has always been everyone's proposition.

Of course, the most important thing is to win over the local government, in the past, the imperial court did not have such a statement, after the new deal fiscal revenue increased significantly, it can be withheld 20%, which is unheard of in the past. (During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the higher authorities did not allocate any money to repair the yamen, and many officials had to collect donations from the local government, and everyone did not have any financial power at all.) ）

The most important thing is to punish the ruffians and hooligans who extort the villagers and have nothing to do with themselves.
