Chapter 253: Heavy Commerce

According to Zhao Shuo's meaning, Zheng Pei wrote a notice overnight, and after changing it in the circle, he handed it over to his subordinates to start copying. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, Chang'an City and the surrounding states and counties were plastered with notices. Due to the fact that there were not many literate people in ancient times, according to Zhao Shuo's requirements, a scholar was arranged next to each notice to read and explain around the clock.

Unlike all previous dynasty taxes, this time the tax collection method is the same, that is, commercial tax.

The notice clearly states that the business tax is divided into two parts, one for individuals and the other for businesses.

In terms of personal income tax, if the monthly income does not exceed five taels of silver, no tax shall be paid. If it is more than five taels of silver but less than one hundred taels of silver, he shall pay three percent of the tax. If it is more than 100 taels of silver but less than 500 taels of silver, he shall pay 10 percent of the tax. If it exceeds 500 taels of silver but is less than 5,000 taels of silver, he shall pay 20 percent of the tax. If it exceeds 5,000 taels of silver but is less than 20,000 taels of silver, he shall pay 25 percent of the tax. Those who exceed 20,000 taels of silver but are less than 100,000 taels of silver shall pay 30 percent of the tax, and those who exceed 100,000 taels of silver but are less than 500,000 taels of silver shall pay 35 percent of the tax. Whoever exceeds thirty-five taels of silver shall pay forty-five percent of the tax.

Below the individual income tax is the relevant provisions of the enterprise income tax. In the back of the enterprise income tax, Zheng Pei made a special note. An enterprise is an organization that provides goods or services to the market for the purpose of making profits, using various factors of production, including land, labor, capital, and technology.

Below the remarks are the specific taxation standards of corporate income tax. If the annual income is less than 5,000 taels, the tax shall be 5%. If the income exceeds 5,000 taels but is less than 50,000 taels, 10% of the tax shall be paid. If the income exceeds 50,000 taels but is less than 200,000 taels, 20% of the tax shall be paid. If the income exceeds 200,000 taels but is less than 50,000 taels, 30% of the tax shall be paid. If it is more than 500,000 taels, it shall be handed over to 35 percent.

As soon as the notice came out, some people were happy and some were sad. The people were quite supportive of this notice. Because, for them, five taels of silver a month, that is the sky-high price, is not earned with the capital, so they will not have to pay taxes in the future.

Unlike the jubilant people, the landlords, squires, and wealthy families had gloomy faces. In the past, they were all protected by the imperial court with little or no taxation, but now, in Zhao Shuo's notice, they have become the focus of taxation.

"If you don't want to pay taxes, you can leave, but the prince has something to say, if you leave now, you will come back later, and you will have to add another ten percent to the tax. So, if you want to go, think twice! The scholar who is responsible for reading the notice, every time he reads the notice, he will say the sentence specially explained by Zhao Shuo.

The people didn't take this sentence seriously, and within Zhao Shuo's control, they didn't have to pay taxes in the future. With that alone, even if you kill them now, they won't leave. Of course, now that there is this policy, if anyone dares to move Zhao Shuo in the future, they will follow desperately in order for this policy to continue.

And the dignitaries weighed this sentence. Zhao Shuo has created many miracles these days. Now that they have come up with such a method of raising taxes that they have never seen before, they really want to think about it.

It's very simple, it's a troubled time now, just pack up your things and drive the carriage away. But in such troubled times, where is it peaceful? Zhao Shuo relied on these thousands of people to mobilize soldiers and horses and destroy the 50,000 army of Qi State. Perhaps, it can really create a peaceful world.

With this in mind, many wealthy people decided to stay and wait and see. And some rich people who pick the door are unconvinced, love money like life, let them pay money, it is equivalent to their lives, such people, quietly retreat home, pack up soft, and leave Chang'an Mansion overnight.

Three days after the notice in Chang'an Mansion was posted, notices began to be posted in Yan'an Prefecture, followed by Fuzhou. In less than half a month, all the areas under Zhao Shuo's control were plastered with notices.

On the official road, large and small carriages were speeding in all directions, and no one stopped or cared about these people, letting them go.

A month later, everything returned to calm, and the government began to register the rich and ordinary people who remained.

For these things, Zhao Shuo started to be the shopkeeper and handed over all the power to the parents and officials in various places below.

"Lord Wang, many rich families from all over the country have left...... Gonggong Feng bowed, looked at Zhao Shuo, and put on a bitter gourd face.

"Grandpa Feng, what do you want to say!" Zhao Shuo asked casually.

"According to the rules of the prince, those who pay taxes are rich people, and now these rich people are gone, and we have no taxes. And those who are left behind are poor people, and we have to pay for them, so if we go on like this......" Gonggong Feng wanted to speak and stopped.

"Father-in-law Feng, you forgot, the prince has seen immortals." Fluttershy comes over and pours Zhao Shuo a bowl of tea. "The future, the prince has already thought about it."

"You little girl, when did you become so sweet!" Zhao Shuo looks at Fluttershy with a smile.

"Lord, slaves and maids have always had something to say." Fluttershy purses her lips and smiles, revealing two cute dimples.

"You girl!" Zhao Shuo raised his hand and laughed as well.

"Lord Wang, these days, you have a lot of opportunities and hard work, shouldn't you also take a good rest!" Fluttershy asks with a wink, tilting her head.

Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly, looked at Fluttershy, and said. "You girl, what the hell is the idea of fighting this time?"

"Lord Wang, what kind of idea can the slave and maid have, it's just that I'm worried about your body." Fluttershy runs up behind Zhao Shuo and rubs Zhao Shuo's shoulder. "Sister Yan, Sister Fang, and Sister Zhe all want to meet the prince!"

"You're here to speak for them?" Zhao Shuo asked with great enjoyment.

"What's the matter, I'm speaking for the prince." Fluttershy says. "Sister Fang and the prince are in love, Sister Zhe is the uncle of the prince who kicked her to get married, and Sister Yan is the prince's personal maid, the prince has been snubbing them, and the slave feels that it is always not good."

Although Zhi Yueying, Fang Yunsheng, and Yan Wu followed Zhao Shuo back to Chang'an from Shangzhou, after coming back, Zhao Shuo did not see these three people once.

It's been two months. The three girls muttered in their hearts, and they came to visit Zhao Shuo more and more often, but Zhao Shuo was too busy during this time and didn't have time to see him.

Now that the matter of taxation can be over, Zhao Shuo has some time. Although I am still worried about the problem of war horses, after all, this matter has been delayed for too long. But Zhao Shuo, who was sitting in Chang'an, could only be anxious about this matter.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Shuo chuckled. "Next time they come back, just let them in." (To be continued.) )
