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

"No, not so. This is the reason, the Son of Heaven is also a person who understands, and you are also knowledgeable people, so there is no need for this governor to cover his ears and steal the bell to hide it, right? ”

Qin Haoming waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

In fact, I was extremely annoyed in my heart, and when I saw these historical cattle, I couldn't keep my mouth shut for a while, and I should pay more attention to it in the future.

Huang Zongxi, who was in the box, suddenly lit up in front of him, and asked with a red face: "Governor Qin, is it true that farmers are people, and businessmen are not people?"

The sage said that heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. The saint is not benevolent, using the people as dogs, explaining the equality of all beings? ”

Qin Haoming nodded slightly, although Huang Zongxi is still young, but this primitive democratic idea is there, all beings are equal, isn't it a democratic idea?

Qin Haoming said in a deep voice: "Brother Taichong, what you said is right, farmers are people, businessmen are also people, this is no different, treat everyone equally, it is the best policy."

But one thing you have to be clear about is that the people have no money, and if they don't get food, they will starve to death. But the merchants have money, and even if they don't have food, they can still buy it and eat it!

Therefore, the Governor had the idea of determining the tax rate according to the size of the income.

A merchant earns 100,000 taels of silver a year, and the profit is about 20,000 taels of silver, and we tax it according to the method of 10 taxes and pay 10,000 taels of silver, and they still have 10,000 taels of silver to spend and can invest in development again.

However, if the small merchants earn two hundred taels of silver a year, and the profit is only a few dozen taels, if we also pay a tax of ten taels and one tael, then they pay a tax of twenty taels of silver, and they have nothing more than thirty or fifty taels of silver, and it will be a little difficult to get by.

If a small merchant has an annual income of less than 100 taels, according to 10 taxes and 1, their remaining profits are only more than 20 taels, so they can only struggle to survive.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to collect taxes for different merchants in stages.

Those who earn more pay more taxes, and those who earn less pay less taxes, so that the wealthy businessmen in the country will not break their muscles and bones if they pay one-tenth of the tax.

Small businesses, but they can get by, don't you? Is there anything unreasonable about this? ”

Everyone's eyes showed thought, it sounded a little unfair to rich businessmen, but once it was implemented, it would be a real gospel for small and medium-sized merchants, at least they wouldn't have so much pressure!

"And don't forget, these big businessmen enjoy the privileges of the Ming Dynasty, and collude with the unscrupulous lords in the DPRK and China, and they are up and down.

Needless to say, you know that the filth of this is shocking......

Come and come, they all raise their chopsticks and talk while eating...... Yuan Heng, you sit between Gongchen and Peiqing, the three of you should have a common word, and they will be your deputies in the future......"

Hearing the last sentence, Yang Tingshu, who was in charge of accompanying and ranking, frequently looked sideways at Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun, and didn't understand why Governor Qin treated the two officials in Jiangyin so favorably and courteously?

He naturally knew that everyone in the chamber of the Governor's Mansion was the object of Qin Haoming's deliberate cultivation by his side, and as the director of the First Division, Yan Yingyuan's position was even more among the best.

And now that the two of them have just arrived, they have been promoted to such an important position, which is definitely not simple.

"Yuanheng, Gongchen, Peiqing, this governor respects you, I hope you will cooperate sincerely in the future, and ...... again Continue to write a legend that belongs to you. ”

Raising his wine glass, Qin Haoming faced Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun with respect. At the same time, I felt a little emotionally that crossing is good and can change the fate of others.

Historically, they were the famous three dukes of Jiangyin against the Qing Dynasty.

Needless to say, Yan Yingyuan destroyed the city, Chen Mingyu ordered 43 men and women in his family to burn to death, and he fought to the death with a knife against the Qing army, and was heavily injured and died by the wall.

Feng Houdun, a teacher in Jiangyin, but Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu led 100,000 righteous people to refuse 240,000 slaves outside the city gate.

China has had many strong men since ancient times, and they can be killed but not humiliated. It is precisely in times of crisis that there are always people with lofty ideals who have made Chinese culture extinct for 5,000 years.

However, history has not given them the honor and incense they deserve, and even erased any records, which makes people speechless and sad.

"If Qin Governor is like this, Gongchen is grateful for his love!"

Chen Mingyu, who was at the end of the line, got up in panic, and his words were not too neat, I don't know why Qin Du valued him so much.

Feng Houdun is better, although he is not a mainstream instructor, but after all, he is a literati. And he is just a warden of a small county town, and he is thousands of miles away from the governors of the two provinces.

When Yang Tingshu, the giant of the Restoration Society, approached him to explain his intentions, he was in a fog all the way, and he really didn't understand how he intersected with the recent famous governors of the two provinces.

If he hadn't been accompanied by his friend Feng Houdun, he wouldn't have dared to walk here with other Jiangnan talents at the same table.

"The place of the wise man is also in the world, such as the place where the cone is in the bag, and the end of it is immediately seen. Gongchen must not be presumptuous.

Qin Haoming held his wine glass, and his eyes followed the Eight Immortals Table towards Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and other newcomers one by one, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Today, he finally has the ability and prestige to recruit these great talents to serve him and even change their fate.

This governor knows that each of you is a person with a clear name, a good name, and a talented name, and you are all leaders in the Jiangnan area, and what you lack is just a platform and an opportunity.

The governor said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. But it is not possible to do without the help of a group of talented and virtuous men, and the Governor can only choose you......"

Wang Fuzhi frowned, and asked with some doubts:

"Lord Qin Du, the people of Fujian and Guangdong provinces are outstanding, although the parents and officials here dare not say that they are all conscientious, but there are still some talents, do you just abandon them?

Although the students and others did not dare to be arrogant, after all, they were young and lacked experience, so they were afraid that the Governor would be in high esteem......"

Qin Haoming smiled slightly, drank all the wine in the cup, walked to the bookcase in the box, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, drew two strokes on a piece of rice paper, and said:

"And Nong, I have long heard that you are talented, and you know everything about poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, if this governor asks you to spend a pair of ink peonies or landscapes on this piece of paper, can you draw well?"

Wang Fuyi was stunned, as if he had an understanding, but still said: "Qin Du, this piece of paper has been smeared by you, and then ask the students to paint the works, unless it is Wu Daozi's reincarnation......"

"And what if Ben Governor prepares a blank sheet of paper for you?"

"Xie Qindu pointed ......" Speaking of this, most of the people present understood what it meant.

Gently placing the brush on the pen holder, Qin Haoming said with a smile: "Everyone, this is just like the governor wanted to invite you to come out just now, you are young, lack experience, and have almost no experience in governing the country.

But it is precisely in this way that the Governor can use your talents to the best of your ability, and tap your potential little by little, just like drawing a wonderful landscape on this blank piece of paper.

Those ready-made officials, they may be very talented, maybe some of them are also conscientious, maybe they are left and right in the officialdom, and they are good at dancing with long sleeves.

However, they want to be smeared by the white paper, and then want to paint a picture of the world's gods, that is impossible, do you say that I choose you, or choose them? ”

One of the princes bowed to the ground and said, "Governor Qin's insights are thought-provoking, and the students are convinced!" ”

Qin Haoming said with a smile: "Now each of you has a deep scripture study, I am afraid that you will be far above me, but the learning that has been applied to the world is much worse."

The Governor hopes that you will be able to put aside these Four Books and Five Classics as soon as possible, and if you want to govern the country and devote yourself to the people's livelihood, you must learn from the world. ”
