Chapter 492: 'Private' property is sacrosanct, "I said, brother, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" ”

After Murong Yanda came back to his senses, he 'touched' Wu Zhi's forehead, and after seeing that the temperature was normal, he twisted his eyebrows and said: "Brother, have you thought about it, because of the emergence of the Great Song Bank, the commercial scale of the Great Song Dynasty has developed more unprecedentedly than before, and many newly rising businessmen are preparing to accumulate funds to expand their industries, and now the tax rate has suddenly increased so much, how much harm is this to the prosperity of commerce?" ”

Murong is a scholar of the household department, and he naturally knows the industry and commerce of the Great Song Dynasty well. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

"I know you have money, and you don't care about expenses after the tax rate is tripled......... Murong Yanda patted Wu Zhi on the shoulder and continued: "But as the president of the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, you also have to think about your members!" With the boom in commerce, the tax rate is to be raised, but by no means now! Raising the tax rate now is tantamount to pouring cold water on businessmen! ”

Murong Yanda said that in the end, his emotions were a little 'agitated', and his voice was very shocking, he was a high-ranking official of the imperial court.

"Big brother, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly."

Wu Zhi smiled and comforted Murong Yanda, although Murong Yanda was greedy for food and money, but his ability and vision were still very much in line with the standards of a good official.

"Then you say, I'll listen."

"The tax rate must be raised, how can I not know that this is a basin of cold water for Dasong business? It's just that we can't let them splash this basin of cold water in vain! ”

"How can I not splash in vain?"

Murong Yanda became interested.

Wu Zhizheng said: "Brother, before answering you, I will ask you a question, if the tax rate is not increased, let me develop according to the current state of the Great Song Dynasty, what will be the scene in the future?" ”

"Needless to say?"

Murong Yanda smiled proudly and said: "My Great Song Dynasty business is already developed, and now with the influence of your bank and the Hundred Schools of Revival Movement, all kinds of talents are taking the road of doing business, and in less than two years, even if the imperial court tax rate is not increased at all, the Great Song Dynasty treasury will be doubled!" ”

"Moreover, in two years, I am afraid that there will be more people who have become rich in business or whose income has risen sharply because of business prosperity!"

"Not bad!"

Wu Zhi nodded slightly and said: "It is true that as the elder brother said, the prosperity of commerce will make the treasury full and the people rich, but there is another important one, which the elder brother did not expect." ”

"Which one?"

"When the business really develops to the point that the elder brother said is desirable, then the businessmen without the background will be like 'fat' sheep, and they will definitely become the prey of some people, and I am afraid that there will be more businessmen who are ruined by then!"

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, Murong Yanda was stunned.

On the surface, this may seem like a bit unfounded, but in the present - it is the reality of naked/'naked'/'naked'!

Because the political atmosphere of the court is too black now!

The upper echelons are controlled by all kinds of 'traitor' ministers, not to mention below, they are all people like Cai Jing, Wang Huang, Zhu Mian, etc., and corrupt officials have reached the point of unscrupulousness, and some honest and capable officials are either suppressed and hopeless for promotion, or forced to go along with them.

The blackest thing Wu Zhi has ever heard of is Zhu Mian's henchmen, a general judge in Hangzhou who murdered a rich family, at that time a rich family in Hangzhou got a true painting of Wang Xizhi, and after the general judge learned about it, he tried his best to borrow it to observe, and the rich family did not dare to offend the officials, so he had to show him.

Who knew that after reading the general judgment, when the painting was returned, a fake painting was returned, and the rich man was naturally unwilling, and the theory of going to the 'door' failed, so he had to sue the government, but the government didn't care about this matter at all, and finally had to give up.

Later, the rich family got a national treasure-level tourmaline, and after being known by the general judgment, he repeated the old trick and borrowed it to "see", the rich family had already suffered a big loss, where did he dare to borrow him, so he refused the general judgment.

After being rejected, he held a grudge, so he used a vicious trick to beat a murderer who had just been caught in the Hangzhou prison in the middle of the night and threw him half-dead in front of the rich family's house.

The next day, the rich family naturally found the prisoner covered in scars, but the rich family did not know that the person was a criminal, and some people could not care about it at the 'door' of their own house out of kindness, so they gave food out of kindness and helped to ask a doctor for treatment.

As a result, as soon as the rich family gave the prisoner a steamed bun, the official who had been ambushed in the shadows immediately jumped out and forcibly accused the rich family of harboring a murderer.

Raid the house, confiscate the property, and exile the man! The 'female' son is sold into the temple!

So, the general judge made a slight move when he raided the house, and he got the tourmaline.

…………

This is a typical fishing law enforcement, but the people are helpless.

This is the oppression of businessmen by officials, of course, people are insatiable when they are greedy, people like Li Yan in the north even have to forcibly occupy the land of the common people, it is conceivable that when a large number of upstart and wealthy businessmen emerged in the Great Song Dynasty, how should this group of officials do everything possible to harm them.

Once there is pressure from these officials, the faster the business develops, the more likely it is to collapse.

"That's... Just pouring cold water on it is not a long-term solution! ”

Murong Yanda frowned, he understood that Wu Zhi's worries were very necessary, but the situation of the bureaucrats up and down in the Great Song Dynasty was not formed in a day or two, let alone that it could be changed by change, from Fan Zhongyan to the present, the predecessors had worked hard for nearly a hundred years and had not done it.

"I naturally know that it is useless to pour this basin of cold water with a tax increase, but we can take advantage of the opportunity to pour cold water and fight for a guarantee first!"

In fact, this is the relationship between rights and obligations, it is the obligation of businessmen to pay commercial taxes, but while businessmen fulfill their obligations, the imperial court must also provide some rights to protect it is reasonable.

"What guarantees?"

Murong Yanda's eyes lit up.

"'Private' property is sacrosanct!"

Wu Zhi said this sentence word by word.

"Is 'private' property sacrosanct?"

Murong Yanda was obviously very unfamiliar with this kind of vernacular translated by later generations.

"To put it simply, it means that the people's legitimate income and legal property will always belong to the people's personal property, and even God has no right to take it back." Wu Zhi explained simply.

"What about the emperor?"

"The legitimate income of the people, the emperor and the court can't touch it!" Wu Zhi cut the railway.

After a deep groan, Murong Yanda nodded slightly, but his face became solemn and said, "How are you going to formulate this guarantee?" ”

"Written in the laws of the Great Song Dynasty!"

“………”

Murong Yanda lowered his head and pondered and stopped talking.

Wu Zhi waited quietly for Murong Yanda on the side, Wu Zhi knew that in this ancient era of "the whole world is not the king's land", people's acceptance of 'private' property only stays in the same class, and ordinary people naturally follow the principle of the inviolability of 'private' property, but once the court and government 'intervene', the people can only let the property that is taken away.

Not to mention the emperor, everything in the world is his.

This is not really 'private' property, which is sacrosanct.

"If the article against the emperor is vague when it is drafted, I can let it be written into the laws of the Great Song Dynasty."

After finishing speaking, Murong Yanda looked at Wu Zhi very seriously and said: "This guarantee seems ordinary, but it is actually of far-reaching significance, with this guarantee, it is more important for businessmen than no commercial tax!" ”

"Haha! is worthy of being my martial arts brother, just have a vision! ”

Wu Zhi laughed, only if the merchants' property is fully secured, they will be more active in creating wealth, which is indeed more important than raising taxes, otherwise what can be done even if there is no business tax? The money earned will be requisitioned by the corrupt officials of the imperial court at any time, who still has the heart to make money.

As for the commercial tax that is added to one-tenth of it, Wu Zhi has always been unconcerned, only ten percent of the commercial tax, which is more, and the country in later generations will not include personal income tax and other miscellaneous taxes for enterprises, and the minimum net commercial profit tax is also 30 percent!

The Great Song Dynasty will only have ten percent, it is simply 'Mao' and 'Mao' rain, Wu Zhi has been secretly happy since he heard Zhu Mian report this number in the court before.

It's no wonder, after all, the Great Song Dynasty should be regarded as the first dynasty in China where commerce was more developed than agriculture, and the merchants used to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and the merchants were all small merchants and hawkers, and the commercial tax was naturally low and low, and the Great Song Dynasty has always followed it, even if Zhu Mian did not propose a tax increase this time, Wu Zhi would also propose a tax increase to the imperial court in the future.

Even if it is mentioned as ten percent now, when the time is ripe in the future, Wu Zhi will propose that the imperial court increase the commercial tax.

This is the essential difference between people like Wu Zhi and Zhu Mian, Zhu Mian only thinks about harming others and benefiting themselves in everything. And Wu Zhi is bent on making the Great Song Dynasty a little stronger, and a little stronger!

…………

"Okay, just do what my brother said, and blur the place against the emperor." Wu Zhi continued, "Brother from the imperial court, you continue to oppose it, and I will draw up a regulation for you, and in the end, if you throw this regulation at Cai Jing and them, they will definitely not object." ”

"Hey, hey! It seems that when Zhu Mian mentioned raising taxes in the court today, brother, you thought of this step? "Murong Yanda's eyes when he looked at Wu Zhi were full of 'treacherous' deceit.

"How can I be so powerful........."

Wu Zhi 'touched' and 'touched' his nose, these were actually planned by him in Qingzhou, and this would just be applied at the right time.

Wu Zhi was a scumbag in his previous life, and he didn't remember much about the development of capitalism in the textbooks, he only knew that when any country rose in the modern history of the world, the first condition was to confirm the iron law of "the sanctity of 'private' property"!

It seems like this.........
