Chapter 078: Wei Zheng said, and the drama Xin was convinced

――

"It is true that businessmen are naturally profit-seeking, which is the foundation of businessmen's survival, just as people eat food to survive as the foundation, businessmen do not cultivate if they do not pursue profits, they have nothing to live, but if a country wants to be governed, it is indispensable for farmers and industry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, but they are not useless and useless! ā€

"On the contrary, the contribution of the merchant is not weaker than that of the farmer!"

Wei Zheng, who was eloquent, saw the big red jujube on the table, immediately took one of them, and said to Ju Xin: "This jujube is produced in Yan Kingdom, and it is difficult for me to enjoy the specialties of Yan Country without Shang Jia Wei Guo; Another example is the fish and salt of Qi country; Taoyi's cloth and mulberry hemp; Bamboo and wood utensils, ginger ...... in the land of Bashu"

"If there is no hand of Shangjia, this big red date can only be enjoyed by the people of Yan State, only the people of Qi can enjoy salt, and only the Ba people and Shu people can enjoy ginger.

"People's desires are strange, businessmen are just to seek what they want and do what they like to make a profit, human nature, haha~~!"

Ju Xin is not so easy to be moved, at this moment, this Legalist bachelor is also like an old stubborn, I saw him say: "What the prince said is not unreasonable, but all things in the world have both interests and harms, and the harm of businessmen is greater than the benefits!" Businessmen are profit-seeking, so they seek profit and do everything they can, such as when the people have no harvest, the businessmen will raise the price of grain for their own personal interests, to the country in disregard, just for personal gain, if the businessmen are popular, will eventually cause the world's wealth and goods to fall into the hands of the merchants, if not suppressed, it will be a disaster for the country-! ā€

"That's why I want your Fa-!" Wei Zheng said succinctly: "Legislation to determine the rules and regulations is to take the wealth of a gentleman in a proper way, and to take ill-gotten wealth in violation of the law must be punished!" Our Legalist faction pays attention to the law and guides according to the situation, and all the guidelines are based on the law. ā€

"Zi Xin's worries are known. Isn't it that the merchants are afraid that the merchants will gather the wealth of the world and the people of the world will be poor, and there will be people like Zigongna who are rich and rival the country. ā€

"There is a way under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. As long as the public is the richest man, the country will not have to worry about it! ā€

"The minister is stupid and doesn't notice, I hope the prince and the marquis will make it clear!" Ji Xin said bluntly.

Wei Zheng smiled in his heart, it doesn't matter if a businessman is rich, it doesn't matter if Wei Guo is hugely rich, but the richest man in Wei Guo must be a public family, and the richest person can only be him Wei Zheng, so he explained with a smile: "Gather the wealth of the world in the country, take it from the people and use it for the people, and the country will be fine!" ā€

The vast majority of the wealth in the world is gathered in the treasury and in the hands of the public, the monarch is the richest man in the world, and the treasury is sufficient and solid.

Wei Zheng also took into account the negative effects of this behavior, that is, once there is a catastrophe, the country can send money and food, then there will inevitably be people who take advantage of loopholes and lie about the disaster, in order to apply for treasury allocation, report disasters when there is no disaster, or cultivate human inertia, etc., anyway, if there is no food to eat, the government will distribute food, then go to plant a fart field, be a good man, even if the treasury is piled up into a mountain of gold and silver, it will soon be lost.

Wei Zheng's method is one word: borrow!

Wealth is taken from the people and used for the people, but we should also pay attention to a method and strategy, there is a way to teach people to fish is better than to teach people to fish.

Public money can only be used in public offices, and there is no way to deal with natural disasters, and the state will always take care of it, and it will be chaotic if it is ignored. This year, in the event of a natural disaster, people have no harvest, and there is no surplus food at home and no money to buy food to survive? The state will allocate funds to lend money to the people to tide over the difficulties, and once the difficulties are over, they will have to pay back the full amount, so that the people will not be able to tide over the difficulties, but will not gradually develop an inert atmosphere, the monarch will still be able to gain fame and fortune, and the country will not be chaotic.

Wei Zheng patiently explained to Ju Xin one by one, and in the end, there was a key question left, that is, how to get the financial revenue? Taxes, of course. Of course, it is taken from the people.

Wei Zheng said: "Therefore, Zixin's "Taxation System" is inappropriate and unfair to pay taxes according to the acres of land, workers according to the workshop, and business according to transactions, and it must be changed!" ā€

Ju Xin couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard it, can't the tax system? Want to change it too?

I saw Wei Zheng say concisely: "In the future, there will be three major tax systems for the defense of the country, namely, agricultural income tax, industrial and commercial income tax, and customs duties. What is Income Tax? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, how to collect taxes? If you get 100 gold, 30% of the tax will be levied; If you get 200 gold, 30% of the 100 gold will be taxed, and the remaining 100 gold will be taxed 40%. If you get 300 gold, 30% of the tax will be levied within 100 gold, 40% of the tax will be levied if the amount between 100 gold and 200 gold will be levied, and 50% will be levied if the tax is levied above 200 gold. Taxation may be in the form of grain, or goods, etc., in short, whether it is the common people or merchants, the more the harvest increases, the tax gradually increases! ā€

"In addition, the merchants levy heavy taxes-!" Wei Zheng added with a smile, although it is necessary to improve the status of businessmen, but also to face the objective pattern of this era, the foundation of the country is still based on farming, compared with the "old-fashioned" such as drama Xin, who still follow the strategy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, Wei Zheng can only be said to be heavy agriculture and not suppressing business.

"Is there such a way to levy taxes?" The drama Xin was stunned when he heard it.

"Hehe!" Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said: "The businessman collects wealth from the people, I collect wealth from the businessman, and then I use it for the people and widely distribute it to the people, why not?" ā€

Let others take the blame and let yourself be famous, why not!

"The prince and the sage!" Knowing the subtleties of the drama, Wei Zheng reminded: "Zixin went back to redraft the "Tax System", especially the collection of the initial first layer of income tax, the degree of which must be carefully grasped, the people are the foundation of the country, and they should seek truth from facts, and they must not exceed the people's affordability. ā€

"The minister should personally go to the country, observe the people's feelings, and then make a final conclusion and redraft the case!" Drama Xin Dao.

Wei Zheng knows that the productive forces of this era are there, and the use of this tax system for ordinary people is not much different from the tax system of the drama, and he does not expect a few people to have the ability to complete the payment of the second layer of taxes, after all, this era and its limited productivity are there.

But this system is not for the purpose of squeezing the people's fat and anointing, the real purpose is the rich, the nobles, and the merchants.

These are the real super taxpayers!

The new taxation system will certainly be strongly opposed and resisted by the aristocracy and wealthy families, but now Wei Zheng is the same in defending the country, and the monarch who has been killed is monstrous, and he dare not obey, the so-called fundamental is for the people, and the world of those who win the hearts of the people, no matter how firmly they grasp the absolute military power, no one can make waves.

At the end, Wei Zheng said again: "Zixin's method has been perfected, except for the "Field Cultivation System", there is no objection to anything else. ā€

"Abandoned well fields, but-! Don't-! ā€
