There was no money on the books, Qian Bangxin and Fan Wenguang shouted loudly, raided the corrupt official Shi Jinchen, and the profiteer Gou Wei confiscated a total of 150,000 taels of silver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rectification of the officials of the Ming Dynasty Guards in Guang'an Qianhu not only increased the area of Tianfu income, but also made 50,000 taels of silver.

Now that Tian Fu and Ding Fu have not been completely collected, and now they are using money everywhere, why not take out the 200,000 taels of silver and use it?

Yang Xuan shook his head and said with a dry smile: "Alas, we boast of being talented in governing the world, but compared to those corrupt officials, profiteers and so on, it is really trivial.

Gou Weiyi has made 100,000 taels of silver in a few years, and Shi Jinchen has been an official for more than ten years, and he has also made 50,000 taels of silver. ”

Qian Bangqi smiled and sighed: "My lord, Shi Jinchen is the prefect, and so are you."

Shi Jinchen specializes in corruption, and the adults innovate taxes, although they are scolded for seeing money, but to be fair, what the adults do is really beneficial to the country and the people. ”

Zhao Sixuan shook his head, touched his beard and said: "The sky does not fall, the earth does not grow, this silver that Shi Jinchen obtained, this Gou Weiyi made a fortune, it was originally a clever robbery, it should have been an ordinary person." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Yang Xuan stood up and looked at everyone: "Zhao Tongzhi is right, this money is originally owned by the common people.

Gou Weiyi made a fortune, mainly selling salt, and did not pay salt taxes. In the past, the imperial court issued salt citations, but now the Great Western Army is entrenched in Sichuan, and the imperial court whip is beyond the reach.

In this case, why don't we distribute salt in Shunqing Prefecture, there are 1 million people in Shunqing Prefecture, plus the two counties of Dazhou and Wusheng County, so there are 1.2 million people.

At least 5 catties of salt per person per year (in 2007, China's edible salt sales volume was 8.29 million tons (all salt sales were 62 million tons, including industrial salt), with a population of 1.27 billion, and the per capita annual consumption of edible salt was 13 catties.

Considering the high price of salt in ancient times, everyone eats sparingly, but in any case, a person's annual salt sales should not be less than 5 catties), there are also 6 million catties, 200 catties and 1 small lead, and there are 30,000 small leads per year.

Although Shunqing Province does not produce salt, it can levy a tax on the salt that enters the jurisdiction, even if it collects a tax of 2 taels of silver for each small introduction, so there is a salt tax of 60,000 taels. ”

Everyone stood up from the front of the desk, held their breath one by one, and shook their heads again and again, why is there so much salt for a year? In the past, the imperial court allocated only 10,000 small quotes to Shunqing Mansion.

Then everyone suddenly realized that now every household has a household registration book, and men have ID cards, although there is no complete guarantee that the population number is accurate, but at least this is in line with objective reality.

5 catties of salt a year for one person, only a lot more, if this number is missing, everyone will feel weak and tired of work.

Everyone sighed with emotion, since ancient times, why the country has paid attention to the salt policy, in fact, this salt policy is related to the country's finances, take the loyal army as an example, if you distribute salt by yourself, there will be 60,000 taels of silver every year.

After calming down, Qian Bangxin shook his head again and again and said: "My lord, this, this salt introduction is issued by the imperial court, and anyone who sells illicit salt is a felony, you, you will put your hand on the salt quotation, and I am afraid that someone will impeach you at that time." ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "I'm not corrupt, if you want to impeach yourself, I don't care."

Now that the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip, and we don't collect it, can we let the imperial court pay taxes in vain? I have made up my mind, regardless of whether there is salt or not, the salt that enters the jurisdiction will be levied 2 taels of silver for each small lead.

If the salt merchant does not pay the salt tax, he shall not sell it in the jurisdiction, otherwise it will be punished as smuggling salt.

All retailers selling salt in the jurisdiction are required to register with the government and pay a deposit of 10 taels of silver, and the government is allowed to operate. ”

In ancient times, the salt business was a big business, and Song Hongbing once thought in "Currency Wars" that the salt business back then, like the contemporary finance, was a paradise for the rich or adventurers.

The imperial court strictly controlled salt, and salt smuggling was a serious crime, which was a serious crime.

Of course, the people at the scene knew that there were huge profits from salt, and Qian Bangqi and others were just worried about violating the rule of law of the imperial court, or afraid of taking responsibility.

Now seeing that Yang Xuan was eager to try, and after a little admonition, he said yes.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yang Xuan seemed quite happy, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone should use their brains, we are different from Ma Gan, different from Zeng Ying, they have no food, no money to rob the villagers, we are all scholars, we must be elegant, we need to change a little."

I think in addition to the salt introduction, there are two other places where money comes from. ”

Qian Bangqi was shocked, shook his head and said: "My lord, you, you are still not satisfied, and you are still not satisfied with the tax of 30,000 silver in one mouth?" ”

Fan Wenguang, who was in charge of money and food next to him, said happily: "My lord, you don't know that seeing such a lot of money this afternoon made my head dizzy."

If you bring it up, as long as it is reasonable, I still agree with it.

Adults say that the war is about money all day long, so as not to blame the old man in the future, which is not very good. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "By the way, we collect taxes, and everyone is not corrupt, what are you afraid of?"

According to the sharing method, 20% of the tax is returned to each state and county, of which 10% is used for local construction, which is taken from the people and used for the people, and 10% is used for government expenditure.

In addition, most of them are also returned to ordinary people through military salaries and orphans, which is also taken from the people and used by the people.

Now that the war is in chaos, other places are persecuting those poor people, and we are taking back those taxes that should belong to the court and the government from the corrupt officials and profiteers, and return them to the common people. ”

Qian Bangqi sighed and said: "My lord, you, you always have a reason, that's it, it's enough, if you really take it from the people and use it for the people, if you really do it, then what am I against?"

When the time comes, the chaos will be pacified, the court will blame, and we will accompany the adults to kill the head. As long as we have a clear conscience, what sin are we guilty of? ”

Yang Xuan immediately proposed that families or individuals with an annual income of more than 200 taels of silver should be taxed at 10% of the excess, that is, income tax.

For mines with an annual output value of more than 200 taels of silver (including salt mines, coal mines, and iron mines), an additional 10% of the mineral tax will be levied on the excess part. (The quotient is only 5%, or 5%).) ）

Yang Xuan simply estimated that the collection of salt, income tax, and mineral levies could increase by more than 40,000 taels of silver every year, which could greatly alleviate the financial pressure.

Although Qian Bangqi, Zhao Sixuan and others have quite a few slight remarks, they obviously got 300,000 taels of silver from corrupt officials and from the rectification and health center, but now they are actually engaging in these new taxes, cleverly grabbing and grabbing the people's fat and ointment.

But Fan Wenguang disagreed, it was imperative for the Loyal and Righteous Army to reorganize and expand, and there would be a lot of places to use money at that time.

With money, although it is in the future, it is on paper, Yang Xuan seems to be in high spirits and begins to spend money lavishly.
