The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

On the blue sky, there are a few white clouds floating lazily, drifting around with the wind, changing shapes from time to time, a breeze blowing, and a faint fragrance of flowers wandering away with the wind.

The palatial Doge's Palace shines brightly in the sun.

This ever-increasing huge building has now been divided into two parts, and the core part has become the residence of Qin Haoming and his family, less than one-tenth of the original.

The rest of the courtyard has now been separated by a wall, and new signs have been hung in the courtyards to serve as offices for the various departments of the newly established Governor's Palace.

Qin Haoming will almost all departments as much as possible together, which is conducive to improving work efficiency and shortening work time. It is basically in line with the style of the Governor's Office, which is concise and effective.

In addition to the efficiency that Qin Haoming wanted, another side benefit was that the guards or something were covered by his personal guard battalion.

Compared with the leisure of other government offices, the yamen of the governor's palace on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is no different from usual, and the officials are busy coming and going.

In the conference room of the Governor's Palace, Xu Hongxuan and Fat Baye were reporting on the progress of the Public Security Department and the Heaven and Earth Association during the Spring Festival.

After the drunken red mansion softened, the other proprietors of the gambling house and the green building were all waiting in line at the security department......

The things he said were the same, nothing more than that he had been entangled in the past few days by some stones falling from the sky and the dead people in his family, and he didn't have time to get a business license, which was really a crime that deserved death.

Now that I'm here, I'm willing to spend more money to ask the sign back, ask for peace, and ask the secretary of justice to answer nonsense......

After hanging up the business license, the last general has already instructed his brothers to keep them safe, and in the future, they are not allowed to deduct food and take, and they are not allowed to pick quarrels and provoke troubles, but they must be carefully maintained.

As for the ones that are not hanging, that's the matter of the Chubby World Society. ”

"The last general...... The small ones have already been investigated, except for those big merchants with backgrounds, other merchants are actually not having a good time doing business.

The ruffians and errand servants went to harass and extort, and the shops also suffered losses, and normal business was delayed.

The amount of business license collected is not more than the loss of this extortion, and it is also reassuring to do business, which cannot be said to be a bad thing, and it is also fair to pay more for big business and less for small business.

Adhering to the meaning of Qin Du, it is hard money to make breakfast and night, orphans, widows, physical disabilities, and old age...... No harassment, no charges......

The rest is determined according to the amount of business in and out of each family, and after normal times, the public security department will send officials to check the account books of each family, and then collect money according to this amount......

It's the rogue who plays the rogue that is the business of the Heaven and Earth Society...... In a word, Heaven and Earth will do dirty work and tiring work, and if you don't accept it, you will do it! ”

The fat eighth master's rude words caused everyone listening to the report to laugh.

"Don't laugh, yes, the eighth master said it well, if you don't accept it, just do it! This is not only for the rogue merchants, but also for those who have power behind them, and the Governor's Office should not bully the soft and fear the hard cowardice.

Also, don't think that it's going well now, it's easy to get things done, and Ben says to you, they haven't made a move yet?

If the collection of commercial tax is so simple, won't Daming understand people in such a year? Be mentally prepared and ready to do it! ”

After everyone laughed, Qin Haoming stood up and said solemnly to the literati and military generals of the Governor's Mansion.

What is a Business License?

In fact, it is a commercial tax, but the name has changed, but it does not mean that everyone can't understand it, and no one who can sit in this position is a fool who only reads the books of sages, and everyone understands the meaning.

The reason why commercial taxation is so difficult has its historical background.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a governor in Shanxi who asked for credit for the county order of a subordinate county, because the county collected more commercial taxes than the quota and increased greatly.

However, after the report was sent to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, thought that this person was too capable of exploitation and sentenced him to exile to the northwest.

Since then, officials at all levels have a rough judgment on how to deal with the tax collection. Excessive taxation is harsh, and not collecting less is sympathetic to the people's feelings.

Of course, the land endowment cannot be less, and in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, it is natural for the common people who cultivate the fields to pay the tax on the field endowment.

At that time, before and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were wars and turmoil, people's livelihood withered, local damage was extremely serious, and there was indeed no tax collection in industry and commerce.

By the time of the Hongzhi year, the people's livelihood had recovered, the economy was prosperous, and industry and commerce had developed greatly, but there was no difference between the policies upheld at that time and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

There was a local official in Hangzhou who collected taxes, and only set a table and a box at the door of the yamen, on which were placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone and an account book, and the box was a half-open wooden box.

The notice was posted asking the merchants in Hangzhou to register their business in and out of the account books on their own, and then throw the money into the box to pay taxes.

There was no one to guard the table and the box, it was all by personal consciousness, no one was a fool, and this set of household goods was placed at the door of the yamen for three months, and a total of 700 yuan was collected.

This kind of behavior is like a joke, but it was praised by the people of the time, thinking that it can be compared with the deeds of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who let the death row prisoner go home and reunite with his family.

This matter of voluntarily paying taxes in front of the door is also considered to be the virtue of a gentleman not being greedy for money and not demanding of the people, and it has become a momentary good talk.

After Zhengde, Jiajing, and Longqing to the present, the collection of commercial taxes must be called a trip to exploit the people and loot the people's fat and cream, and on the contrary, it is a gentleman's move to make the people's livelihood happy.

The only commercial tax collection that still has some effect is the seven tax customs set up on the Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Jingshi, and the goods must be inspected when the ships pass through the customs and the tax is collected according to the value of the goods carried.

However, the favoritism and greed of these seven customs customs are extremely serious, not to mention that many goods are transported through tax-free and inspection-free ships, and nothing can be collected at all.

The commercial tax system is corrupt, it is virtually nonexistent, there are reasons in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, but there is a big difference, the south of the Ming Dynasty has far more economic prosperity than the north.

This economic prosperity also brought about an increase in the level of education, and the level of education provided by the rich peasants in the south of the Yangtze River to their children was often achieved by small and medium-sized landlords in the north.

The level of education also determines the quality of the results of the imperial examination, and determines the number of Jiangnan people in the officialdom.

A high-ranking official often means that his family is rich, and even if the family cannot be rich for a short time, he needs the support of connections and financial resources from his hometown.

In other words, the middle and upper class officials of the Ming Dynasty are often from the rich and noble class in the south of the Yangtze River, and the prosperity and wealth of this class are inseparable from industry and commerce.

Perhaps in the beginning, it was based on land for exploitation, but the real growth was after the prosperity of industry and commerce, and the wealthy families in Jiangnan may not be big landlords, but they are certainly big businessmen and big workshop owners.

They are inextricably linked to maritime trade, and they are also the main body of the tax base of commercial tax, so commercial tax is an untouchable bottom line for them.

The collection of commercial taxes is to the detriment of their vital interests, and anyone who tries to carry out this move is regarded as an enemy and will face pressure from the entire Jiangnan gentry class.

Whoever talks about collecting commercial taxes is the enemy of this class. It may be far-fetched to say that he is the enemy of the world's scholars and the world's officials, but it must not be said to be a mistake.

This is also the Ming Dynasty sent tax supervisors, mine supervisors, weaving and other internal supervisors to various places to collect money for the inner treasury, and the civil officials in various places always go forward to fight one after another.

You must know that these civil officials who dare to fight are not incorruptible people, and they usually collect no less money than these eunuchs, and some of the money they loot goes into the treasury and spends it in the public office, while what these civil officials loot is all in their private pockets.

But every time there is such a person who comes out to fight, regardless of the government or the opposition in the whole world, public opinion will definitely be biased towards this civil servant.

What iron-clad and awe-inspiring comments have been added. Why, it is because this person defends the interests of the gentry class.

The gentry were the gentry, and those who had merit did not need to pay taxes, and the state had no money to collect from the land.

But the commercial tax can't be moved, otherwise it will be a public enemy.

From generation to generation, the industrial and commercial landlords, the Jiangnan gentry have become monsters and parasites that suck blood on the Ming Empire, the more prosperous they are, the more beneficial the Ming Dynasty gets, and even harmful.

Why did Zhang Juzheng, the head of the cabinet who has the power of the world, always talk about the fact that there is always a fixed amount of wealth in the world, but he only clears the land and reforms the taxation and servitude of agriculture, and does not touch the industry and commerce, which are much richer in oil and water, because he does not dare to be the enemy of this class.

Why did Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fuzhou, dare not agree with Qin Haoming, and would rather not have a penny from the governor of the yamen than get involved in this matter, this is the reason!

Therefore, Qin Haoming has every reason to believe that the reason why other yamen in Fuzhou have not spoken out against it now, and even let him infringe on his interests, may just be waiting for an opportunity.

More perhaps, someone wants him to enter the game deeper, so that there is a reason and evidence to kill him in one fell swoop.

Of course, that's what he wants.

Without a reason, without an excuse, he will never be able to completely master Fujian.
