412 Taxation Commission
Shang Wen believed in Yingyu's conversation very much. Because, although the recent expenses are not very large, they are always not in and out. Fiscal spending is still difficult to sustain. It is not possible to issue bonds at this time, because, judging by the effect of recycling bonds. Three-fifths of the bonds remain uncollected. As a result, the government is temporarily unable to use the means of issuing bonds to obtain funds.
Taxation became the only option, and Shang Wen had already ordered the imposition of stamp duty. The target is specifically aimed at the extremely active securities trading market in the Qin State. There is a daily trading volume of up to 2 million gold, there are already 32 stocks, and there are five futures varieties, corn, wheat. Flour, ingots, beef.
In order to tax fairly. Shangwen decided to set up a tax collection committee. Involve those who are taxed and those who will be taxed in the future. These subjects are mainly Qin people. Foreign trade taxes. It is not in the scope of the discussion for the time being.
Shang Wen spread the news through the newspapers. And all industries are required to choose representatives to participate as much as possible, because it is related to their own interests.
As soon as the news came out, there was a heated discussion in all walks of life. In the past, taxes were never negotiable. Take it when you say it. So what's negotiable. Now the government has to collect taxes. Discuss first. Let's talk about it and come back. That's a novelty.
The most people are concerned about is what taxes to collect and how much to collect. And this matter is still most concerned about the merchant group. Especially those Qin people who have just made a fortune, they are particularly concerned. Because before, the Qin State did not have a very special tax on them. For example, when using the highway, when using the highway, it is a one-time payment of a certain fee, and then the toll will not be charged. This toll includes the cost of using the highway and state taxes. The rate charged is unusually low. And what they earn from the commercial dealings they make on the land is not taxed by the state. There is no tax, which means that the pockets of the people are rapidly bulging.
And the biggest harvest in this middle is undoubtedly the businessman. Especially those with the largest amount of capital. Military enterprises have gained the most, because they have not paid taxes, from raw materials to products, they have not paid a penny, even now the prospects for the civilian market are very good. A large number of security companies, trading companies purchase repeating guns, shotguns. This makes the market for this kind of gun, which is cumbersome to manufacture, wide. Because, those who go to the north and the west, everyone has a hand. Even children know about firearms. Their image is that of a large felt hat and two revolvers pinned to them.
In these tax-free processes, Yingyu's banking industry is the biggest beneficiary, which is why she was able to gather so much money like she became rich overnight. Even the people of the Six Kingdoms who came to Qin to do business collected very few taxes. Even they don't bother to evade taxes. Because the tax is very small. And it is a one-time collection, and it will not be collected again. In order to avoid double taxation, they also issue tax certificates. As long as you show the voucher, the officials of the Qin State will not collect your taxes.
The biggest benefit of tax exemption and under-taxation is the government. Because Shang Wen was sacrificing the government's financial revenues in exchange for the potential for the development of the Qin state. For this potential as well as capital. The government has made great sacrifices. Even in some areas, the role of government has been greatly weakened. Even the money for the children's school is the largest contribution from the private sector.
Shang Wen's new government is about to face a new problem. That's next month, next month, and the government can't come up with a penny to run it. At a press conference for the press conference. Shang Wen did not hide the news at all.
Journalists have a wide range of opinions. The news in the newspaper was divided into several opinions, and the "Financial Express" sharply used a more modern term to blame Shang Wen.
The article "The Prime Minister is Crying Poor" sharply pointed out that Shang Wen's move was to pretend to be pitiful. in exchange for the sympathy of the population. The aim is to levy high taxes. The article is not very readable. On top of that, he attacked Shangwen's purpose of collecting taxes at the behest of Yingyu. This is a bold attack on the current government by the Qin State. The populace is new to this article. Because, they think it's a couple of little lovers who have an awkward relationship. In fact, Yingyu retaliated against Shang Wen for taxing securities transactions. And only one was chosen, and the others were not taxed.
Shang Wen's attitude was to respond with a wry smile. Because that's how it is. And the attitude of the people is more realistic, they are used to collecting taxes. It is also believed that Shangwen's collection of taxes is more reasonable and reasonable. There is a country that does not collect taxes. Moreover, people collect taxes for themselves. Taxes are as they should be. But finally emphasize. Don't take too much. It's better to collect tolls all at once. Close low.
The same is true of the attitude of the merchant group, but the difference is that among them they even put forward different objects of taxation. For example, some of them, in the traditional sense of business, believe that they mainly rely on technology patents, and they have a lot of investment in scientific research before, which needs to be treated differently. Newspapers do a special job about them. In order to prevent the information of the newspaper from being ignored. They banded together to form a new newspaper called "Craftsman" to remind Shang Wen to give full consideration to taxation.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone. For example, some immigrants, or those with lower incomes in the cities, think that they should not be considered when it comes to taxation. They can't afford it. But the attention of the newspaper news is on the price bigwigs who pay the most taxes. For example, Yingyu. Newspapers, the public speculated that Yingyu was currently the richest person in the Qin State. The amount may reach 10 million gold. What's even more exaggerated is that some people speculate that it may be as much as 30 million gold. As soon as this number came out, the people exclaimed. The attention of the newspapers was almost all drawn to her.
The people's pursuit of wealth is still quite crazy. Yingyu is also very frank, and even publicly admitted that she has assets of fifteen million gold. And this number is likely to grow in the near future.
Princess Wenyang's name began to go wild, and a large number of them appeared in the newspapers. "Huaxia Women's Daily" is a special column to introduce Yingyu, for a time. The Qin State was in a uproar by Yingyu. The people began to speculate that those were the richest people in the Qin State. Some people say it's King Qin, some people say it's Yingyu, this is currently the first and second legal candidates. The back rankings are more chaotic. But it's all folk speculation. I can't verify it. And when the newspapers were digging up Yingyu with all their might, they began to pay attention to this rich list. They decided to use the power of the newspaper to start reporting on it.
