In the tax plan of the Ministry of Finance, the first thing to be collected is the property tax, that is, to carry out an inventory of the property of each countryman, including land, houses, boats, workshops, prospecting rights, mining rights and other immovable properties, as well as company shares, national bonds, treasured jewelry, livestock, grain, means of production and other movable property. The amount of property of each citizen is then registered and taxed at a rate of 1%.

Of course, the 1% tax rate is not high, but you have to look at this base problem, Chen Ming's 'family is big', even if many things will not be registered at all, it still makes him feel painful. But in order to set an example for everyone, he still has to take this knife.

The main target of property tax is concentrated in the wealthy strata of society. Because the valuation of personal property of Chinese people is less than 1,000 yuan, they are exempt from taxation.

These taxes may be levied in cash or in kind, but the proportion in kind may not exceed half.

In China's history books, there are also traces of this policy, and China implemented the "cloth" policy during the Zhou Dynasty.

"Kitchen" is the residence in the city, and "cloth" is the tax on the public house, which is the early housing tax. Tang Dezong set up a "tax frame" in the fourth year of his construction, that is, the house was the object of taxation, but it was forced to abolish it soon because it was too harsh and disturbed the people.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the original time and space also started to levy housing donations, and the Guodang government continued to collect them until the Republic of China.

The deed tax levied with the transfer of property such as farmland, horses and cattle originated from the tax assessment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the second year of Song Kaibao, the law stipulates that the people's code and the purchase of a field house should lose money to the government within two months, and ask for a seal, which is called deed money. After that, all dynasties and dynasties in China levied deed taxes. Including the current Chen Han.

Now the Ministry of Finance wants to expand this category from a single property to the entire property category.

Among them, the inventory statistics of real estate are carried out every three years; Movable property shall be estimated and declared by the taxpayer himself every year, and the tax collection authority shall have the right to verify and severely punish tax evasion.

In addition, there are also inheritance tax and personal income tax newly introduced, the former in the original plane of time and space, even the rabbit that hit China with red flags has not been collected, but now in order to get money, the Ministry of Finance has no choice.

As for the personal income tax, which comes after the property tax, it is far more important than the inheritance tax, which is to tax everyone's monthly income. Of course, the collection method in the proposal is also a step-by-step differential treatment, with a monthly income of less than 250 yuan being exempted, and a monthly income of 250 yuan to 1,000 yuan, from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and the highest is more than 10,000 yuan, which is gradually increasing. A maximum of 10% personal income tax is levied.

If it is placed at other times, this kind of tax policy will definitely be opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but now is a special moment, the end of the North American War is far away, and the financial resources of the imperial court are exhausted.

Therefore, the interests of the imperial court and the interests of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are consistent in raising taxes. This premise greatly reduces the burden of individual income tax.

Chen Ming really felt that the Ministry of Finance was very powerful, and this time was very accurate, and as long as one of the property tax, inheritance tax, and personal income tax, except for the inheritance tax, could be implemented smoothly, the Ministry of Finance would really not have to worry about future military spending and financial constraints.

Even if most of the people have been excluded from these two tax thresholds, it will be an astronomical amount for the whole of China. Because in this country, the wealth of the nations of the world is in the hands of a few. Words and phrases can not only solve the pressure of fiscal constraints, but also make up for the fiscal deficit one by one.

Money proved to be insignificant in the face of future interests, and this proposal was strongly supported by a considerable number of noble ministers in Nanjing.

Many people know that this tax is for themselves.

But the outside world, especially the wealthy private businessman Fujia, is full of complaints.

In their eyes, this is completely the court cutting their flesh and letting them bleed.

But before these people jumped up and down to set off a big storm, they were suppressed by the giants at the top. Don't forget the business conditions of China's industrial and commercial giants in this era, almost all of them are involved in the imperial court and dignitaries behind them, and these behind-the-scenes masters are manipulating, no matter how passionate the dissatisfaction and anger of the industrial and commercial tycoons are, they are all suppressed by their hands.

Without money, the imperial court would not be able to fight in North America, the imperial court would not be able to win the war in North America, and their feudal kingdom would be far away.

In the face of monetary interests and feudalism, everyone abandoned the former.

The formation of the dispatch army and the dispatch to the Americas were already a large investment in the imperial court, and they had previously purchased a lot of war bonds and land bonds in North America, which was another large investment, and now it is just a repetition.

In the end, this proposal of the Ministry of Finance was strongly supported by the cabinet and the nobles, although the middle class of Nanjing, especially the wealthy merchants, was extremely disgusted by it, but it was useless.

Until now, China is still an official-based society, and those enterprises that are developing rapidly in China's commercial sea are inseparable from the support of the nobles and court bigwigs, and they can only wait to cut the meat. What's more, some of the principals among them are aware of the matter of the feudal kingdom in the Americas, and they are deeply involved in it, and they are all in favor of property tax and personal income tax.

Without the beginnings of the bigwigs, the middle class would not be able to make a fuss. This is not the era of parliament, and the middle class is the worst and most miserable group of people in China at this time. They are not inferior to the upper class, and they can directly voice their own voice on state affairs and national affairs; Nor was it inferior to the lower classes, who were outnumbered and powerful, and the court had to take into account their interests and feelings.

There is only the middle class, they are like the second of three brothers in a family, they can't go to the world and the ground. For the sake of interests, they can only stick to the upper class, but this time, the upper class at the top of Chen Han is 'lacking in heart' and passed the proposal, what else can they do? They can't get the support of the lower classes, and anyway, the taxes and taxes can't be paid to the poor people of the lower classes.

Property inventory is a huge undertaking.

It is easy to check the acres of land, real estate and bank deposits, because there are records in the local governments and banks, but it is more troublesome to check some other aspects. Because you have to go door to door to thoroughly check how many catties of grain, how many pigs, how many sheep are in the target family, and if the family also has a fruit grove, tea garden or fish pond, you have to estimate it, which requires too much manpower and time.

In addition, the Chinese people in this era have a tradition of saving money at home and not leaking money, so it is difficult for you to really figure out the family property. And it's just too much work. So much so that less than half a month after the implementation of the local state security feedback that the local taxation department had committed serious dereliction of duty in the calculation of national assets.

In a town, they only counted the wealth of a small number of people, and most of them simply skipped it.

"It is necessary to fully arouse the enthusiasm of the masses, and the eyes of the common people are bright. Who has money and who doesn't, the local people know best. ”

"Let the tax department engage in a reward measure, and there will be a reward after the report is confirmed."

"There is a reward for what you give. Let the local tax department use their brains, and those who don't want to pay and get it are stupid. ”

Chen Ming's face, which was still smiling just now, became as stiff as marble. The first two sentences he said were still about the tax department's statistics on assets, but the last sentence meant something else.

Obviously, something had touched his nerves and reminded him of something else.

Something about the Northwest.

Just a few days ago, the Northwest Military Region reported that a small Yuz tribe had crossed the Ishim River and advanced to the Irtysh River valley, and when it was driven away by the troops of the Great Yuz army, the leader of the tribe said that he had come to seek refuge in Chen Han, but after the Northwest Military Region sent people to arrive there, the leader of the tribe expressed his unwillingness to serve in the military and to be completely sinicized.

This made the representatives sent by the Northwest Military Region almost out of breath.

Chen Ming was also very annoyed by it, he wanted to be protected by Chen Han, but he was unwilling to contribute, he didn't even want to learn Chinese, he didn't want to speak Chinese, he only paid a little tax, just went around the Irtysh River valley with abundant water and grass, he thought really good.

Although there has been no major conflict between China and Russia in recent years, this does not mean that there is really no competition between the two sides.

Whether it is the outer northeast or the great northwest, the competition between the two sides has always been fierce.

In the outer northeast, those Buryat Mongol tribes who have always been willing to side with the Russians, Chen Ming has long lost hope for them. But there is no hope for the tribal nobility, and for the ordinary herdsmen of the tribe, they can still fight for it.

The Russians lost Lake Baikal and a piece of feng shui treasure, and not only many Cossack and Buryat Mongol communities lost their pastures for the winter in winter, but also the Russians lost great economic benefits. And they also carried the big burden of the Eight Banners of the Remnant Qing Dynasty.

Although the arrival of the latter has also promoted the development of economy, agriculture and animal husbandry in the Russian-controlled areas to a certain extent.

However, the food and clothing of the population of more than 100,000 people is really not a small number, and even if the remnants of the Qing Dynasty actively carry out self-reliance, the Russians still fill in a large amount of money, food, and materials. So, how do you make up for these shortfalls?

Naturally, the calculations of the Russians hit those natives.

The Russians controlled all the fur trade, they forced the Buryats to pay the fur tribute on time, and at the same time required them to participate in patrols and police patrols, and many Buryat tribes struggled to make a living, and the Dingkou gradually withered. And these undoubtedly created a God-given opportunity for Chen Han.

In the past few years, Chen Han has exhausted all means in order to compete for as many people as possible from the Russians. A lot of material and money were scattered, which lured some Buryat Mongols who could not continue their lives.

The outer northeast is intriguing, and the great northwest is the same.

Xiao Yuzi and Zhong Yuzi have always been the targets of Chen Han's wooing, and the most powerful Zhong Yuzi among them is ranked after Xiao Yuzi. Because Abuben's strength is too strong, thirty or fifty thousand people can get together, and there is also a faint threat to the northwest of Chen Han.

If it is possible, before China and Russia go to war again, Chen Ming is very willing to solve the hidden danger of Zhongyuzi. But Abuben does have some skills, and he doesn't give Chen Han the slightest handle.

Compared with the middle Yuz, the little Yuz is much easier to woo, and their Khan king Achuwak is very envious of Abilis Khan's current situation. I don't think there's anything wrong with being constrained by people in this way.

It's just that Achuwak has just ascended to the throne of Khan, and his prestige is limited, so he can't make all the Xiaoyuz tribes obedient.

So, when a small Yuz tribe crossed the Ishim River and came to the Irtysh River valley, the North-Western Military District was excited.

They regarded this Xiaoyuzi tribe as the representative of the entire Xiaoyuzi, and they sent people to it in a hurry, and also mediated the dispute between Dayuzi and it.

The Irtysh River and the Altai Mountains have always been known as golden mountains and silver waters, and the fertile land here is rich in water and grass, which is a very good pastoral area. Abiris Khan would not have been willing to stay on the west side of Lake Balkhash for the symbolism of his community. Jaisangbo was open to him, and if it weren't for Xuanhe's 'dignity of Da Yuzi', he would have moved his sweat tent to Zaisangbo a long time ago.

Although there were teachers and doctors sent by the Han Chinese in his sweat tent, as well as an art troupe dedicated to promoting Chen and Han policies and culture, Abiris Khan trusted the military hospital of the Wehrmacht on the east bank of Jaisangbo more than the doctors in the sweat tent.

You must know that even Abu Ben Khan's sweat tent has only two doctors who have been sent, but Abiris Khan's sweat tent has a small hospital, which covers internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, orthopedics and pediatrics, and even an experienced midwife, and the medical school that Ili has just opened has given Dayuzi twenty places.

The khans of Abiris were much better than those of Abuben and Achuwak.

Even the most respected veterinarians in the prairie regularly come to the various departments of Dayuzi to 'make rounds' and impart knowledge.

With the strong support of Chen Han, the trembling Da Yuzi has developed rapidly over the years, whether it is a newborn or the confidence of the tribal herdsmen, it has continued to grow like the rapid growth of Abiris Khan's personal wealth, which makes Abu Ben envious in his eyes.

The population of Dayuz is so much smaller than that of Zhongyuz, but the newborns born in these years are more than 50% of Zhongyuz, and the babies who have successfully grown up - 6 years old for a period of time, which is 70% of Zhongyuz, according to the Chinese's algorithm, the natural population growth rate, Dayuz is half higher than Zhongyuz.

There is also the development of animal husbandry, as well as the living standards of the herders of Dayuzi. Since he was put under Chen Han's command, daily necessities such as salt tea, medicinal herbs, grain, and iron tools are no longer the problems that the herdsmen of Dayuzi say they have to face. Even if they encountered a white disaster, they all had Chen Han's help.

The ordinary herdsmen of Da Yuzi may not yet enjoy the convenience of medical care, and the twenty medical students that Da Yuzi exported to Ili have not yet graduated, but there is always hope. Moreover, the ordinary herdsmen on the grassland need doctors and doctors, and the first thing they need to solve is the problem of eating.

Now in Dayuz, cattle, sheep and horses are constantly sold to the Chinese, and they even benefit from the goods obtained by the Chinese and sell them at higher prices to the Middle Yuz and the Uzbeks, Kokands, and Turkmen further south.

Because they enjoyed preferential tariffs, and some things on iron and munitions, the Chinese only sold to the Dayuzi people, and not to anyone else. This made the tribes and khanates of the entire steppe envious to death.

Two years ago, it was rumored that Abilis Khan had millions of deposits in Chinese banks, and now there are even more millions. Every nobleman on the prairie had red eyes with envy when he talked about it.

In some of the Middle Yuzi tribes that are close to the Dayuzi Ranch, the young girls are more willing to marry into the Dayuzi. This is a scenario that would not have been possible a decade ago.

When the Northwest Military Region got the news of the Xiaoyuzi tribe, they were overjoyed, but they returned disappointed.

……

"Nur-Sultan, since you are willing to submit to my Huaxia, of course Huaxia will protect the safety of your tribe. We can sell you all kinds of weapons, and you can pay us for the skins and livestock. But we are not open to the heavens, the heavens and the dynasty are not open, the rights and duties are reciprocal, we protect your safety, and even teach you to be more efficient in raising livestock and farming on fertile land, and you must also fulfill your obligations. Not only do you have to pay taxes, but you also have to organize a standing army and obey the dispatch of the Northwest Military District. And then there is the fact that like Da Yuzi now, everyone changes to speak Chinese and receives our most basic education. ”

Don't think that nomads are fools, the total sinicization of Da Yuzi is one of the policies that Chen Han has been most criticized by the aborigines of the northwest in recent years. These policies reminded them of the Russians, who, after conquering new lands, were constantly Russifying, destroying local civilization and changing to Russian customs.

This is a serious disservice to any nation with its own language and culture.

If China's methods of Sinicization are more gentle, and use benefits and interests to lure the Kazakhs and the indigenous people of Xinjiang to take the initiative to de-Sinicize, this will be even more shallower in terms of emotional damage. But Chen Ming doesn't have that much time.

It's the late 18th century in the Western calendar, not the late 11th/12th century.

In another hundred years, the tide of nationalism will come. Moreover, Chen Ming really maintained a 'value' to Central Asia, which has always maintained its own national characteristics in the history of the original time and space.

Lao Maozi's denationalization methods can be very drastic, Chen Ming personally feels that this kind of drastic high-pressure measures will not be too ideal, but as early as 1925, the five Central Asian countries were able to demarcate their borders according to their nationalities and change their names to the Kazakh Red Autonomous Republic, which also shows the depth of their own national imprint. Chen Ming wanted to start as soon as possible and polish off this layer of traces.

Because in his plan, even if it is a series of Mongolian countries arranged in the northwest and far west, it will all be Chinese. Not to mention the Kazakhs, who will be mainly integrated into China and several Mongolian states in the future.

One hand of sweet dates, the other hand of the stick, while the stick is beaten, they are also given sweet dates to eat. Now, the example of Da Yuzi has been erected very successfully.

Sinicization did not arouse strong opposition from the herdsmen of Dayuzi, who ate sweet dates.

"We can transfer to you the taxes that were taught to the Russians every year, or we can change to Chinese, but the army ......," Nur-Sultan looked at the representative with a somewhat embarrassed face, and continued to bargain.

Compared to the military, speaking Chinese is not so difficult to understand.

And the deputies' faces are even more ugly, the first meeting is only willing to pay taxes, this second meeting can be in Chinese, do you need a third meeting? "It seems that there are still big differences between us, so your tribe should think about it again. See you next time. ”

The representative's resolute and tough attitude made the Xiaoyuzi tribe in an uproar. Nur-Sultan looked at the departing back of the representative with a complicated expression.
