Chapter 202: Strategy

"The economy is such a thing, it needs time to prove, and it can't be rushed. Whether it is effective or not, you can only know after it has been implemented! Lu Heng held a teacup in one hand and a brush in the other, and on the spread of paper, he wrote a plan for the development of the economy with Miao characteristics. Then he turned his head and said to Bai Suyan beside him.

"Of course, before an economic policy can be implemented, it must go through many deductions and arguments. In this way, it is possible to minimize losses! ”

After Lu Heng took a sip of tea, he pointed to the method of argumentation written down in the first half of the plan, and said with a smile.

"The method of patting the head to make decisions will not work!" Lu Heng smiled, raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said to Zhang Wenshan beside him.

The three of them had been in this private room for a long time. After many considerations and synthesis, Lu Heng formulated this strategy to stimulate local economic development on the basis of later economic theories.

Lu Heng's plan, in general, is very simple. To borrow the words of a certain bigwig in later generations, it is to integrate resources and concentrate on supplying some talented and capable people. Let their part get rich first.

Then, as these people become rich, more labor will inevitably be needed to sustain and expand their wealth. In this way, it will naturally promote the start of the basic economy of the Miao family. When the time comes, everyone will have a job. Everyone's life will be better. At least not as poor as it is now.

"But!" Zhang Wenshan, who was on the side, quietly listened to Lu Heng's explanation. After he looked at this plan many times, he frowned and said: "In this case, will it cause a situation where the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer." When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! ”

After hearing this, Lu Heng smiled and put the brush down. Bai Suyan, who was beside him, smiled faintly, picked up the teapot with a heart, and added a new cup of tea to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly: "Wenshan, your worries are justified. However, it is not just you and me, I am afraid that there are saints in the world. It's hard to solve this problem! ”

Seeing that Zhang Wenshan was still frowning, thinking. Lu Heng was not in a hurry, he just smiled.

Raised his hand, pointed to his head, and said with a smile: "Heh, the surname is so!" Greed is nothing more! ”

Seeing Zhang Wenshan nodding with a wry smile, he acquiesced to his statement. Lu Heng picked up the brush and drew a pie chart on the paper. Then mark about eighty percent of the area in it.

"For a certain period of time, the value of wealth in the world is fixed. And because of the existence of classes and the defects of the distribution system, this eighty percent of the wealth value is destined to be owned by a few. Oh, this is also what people call the 28 theory! ”

Lu Heng took the brush to circle the eighty percent area, and after writing a few words on it, he said to Zhang Wenshan with a smile.

"Take today's Great Zhou as an example, more than eighty percent of the wealth is in the hands of the royal family and the royal vassals. Of course, you may want to say that some people also have some wealth. For example, businessmen. But, Brother Wenshan, have you thought about it? If one day, the emperor directly asks a merchant to donate all his family property. What can this businessman do? ”

Lu Heng looked at Zhang Wenshan, who was staring intently at the pie chart on the paper, and was pondering. After smiling, he picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air, and said lightly: "I think that the merchant has no other way than to obey the emperor's orders." Well, of course, unless the merchant is impatient! ”

Saying this, in fact, it proves a truth. That is, within the scope of this Great Zhou, the royal family has absolute control over all the resources of the Great Zhou, including tens of thousands of people in the Great Zhou! In other words, in fact, all the wealth of Da Zhou belongs to the royal family! Hehe, at least on the surface! ”

Zhang Wenshan raised his head listening to Lu Heng's words, looked at the scholar in front of him who was talking and laughing, and saw that when he was talking about these things, he looked like he was light-hearted and light-hearted. The heart is extremely unsettled. Although a little surprised by Yongzheng's attitude towards the royal family, it seems that it is not so respectful. However, more shocks still come from Yongzheng's profound insights and broad vision on these things.

Seeing that Zhang Wenshan's eyes flashed with a look of understanding or not, Lu Heng didn't expect him to understand in an instant. At this time, he stuffed economic theories into him, presumably in time, with his talent, he would definitely understand.

"Today's Great Zhou has been built by two generations of emperors. It's already a prosperous age. On the bright side, there is also wealth hidden in the shadows, which is incalculable! Lu Heng took the teacup, took a sip and smashed his mouth, and said with a slight smile. Yongzheng, you mean to say. From Your Majesty, take out two percent. Spread among the people, let the people have the ability to manage these two wealth? Zhang Wenshan frowned tightly and followed Lu Heng's thinking with difficulty. After thinking about it, he pointed to the large round cake on the pie chart and asked.

"Well, that's the ideal way to go. However, this is only ideal. Lu Heng smiled, shook his head and said: "For the royal family, only by mastering all the wealth of all people and in their hearts can the stability of the rule be guaranteed. You take two percent from the royal one. You say, will the emperor promise you? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Wenshan was even more at a loss.

"It's very simple, take advantage of the existing situation and make this pie bigger. Then take advantage of the royal family's lack of reaction and strike first! Lu Heng smiled very calmly, but the words he said shocked Zhang Wenshan in a cold sweat.

"Yongzheng, be cautious!" Robbing things with the royal family, heh, only Yongzheng can think of it. Zhang Wenshan glanced around and said in a low voice.

"Oh, of course, in fact, it's not a robbery. After all, this Great Zhou is the world of the martial arts. No matter how big you make this pie, it's still someone's royal pie. No matter how good your cooking skills are, you're just a cook! Lu Heng picked up the teacup, smiled, saw that the nervousness on Zhang Wenshan's face eased slightly, and continued: "Don't worry, after all, we will make this big cake bigger, and it is also for the people of the Great Zhou, hehe, the realm of speaking is higher, and it is also for the court to share worries." Presumably, with the courage and vision of the current emperor, he should be able to see it! ”

"So, how do you make this pie bigger?" Beside him, Bai Suyan heard some doorways. She looked at Lu Heng with brilliance in her beautiful eyes and asked softly.

"Open source!" Lu Heng said two words very briefly.

Seeing that the two of them were at a loss, Lu Heng patted his forehead a little embarrassed, and said secretly in his heart, but I forgot, I said a lot of things today, no wonder the heads of these two people couldn't turn around.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "The so-called open source means opening up more channels for financial resources under the existing conditions. As far as the current Yizhou is concerned, there are many ways to open source, such as raising taxes! ”

After Lu Heng said the word tax increase, Zhang Wenshan and Bai Suyan's faces changed.

"You, you're just going to help me?" Bai Suyan pursed his mouth aggrievedly, his beautiful eyes were full of resentment, he looked at Lu Heng, his voice trembled with pity, and he said softly.

It's no wonder that Bai Suyan reacted so much. Nowadays, the imperial court has paid a lot of taxes, and the location of Miao Township is not good, the land is barren, and it is difficult for crops to grow. The life of Miao's hometown relatives is quite miserable, if the tax is increased again, isn't it pouring salt on the wound?

Zhang Wenshan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Hey, the old man also thought about this." However, I'm afraid it can't be implemented! After all, now the imperial court is fighting against the Huns. I, the people of the Great Zhou, in order to support the national finances. Already overwhelmed. If the tax is raised again, I am afraid it will cause a civil uprising! ”

"Who told you to tax the people?"

Lu Heng was drinking tea, and when he heard Zhang Wenshan's complaint, he immediately squirted out. He glanced at him with a smile and scolded angrily.

"So, Yongzheng, what do you mean?" Zhang Wenshan was at a loss, in his impression, in addition to taxing the people, who else could he talk to!

"The source of this tax should not be all on the people!" Lu Heng smiled, and the words he said immediately made Bai Suyan beside him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, in a word, whoever has money will be taxed with whomever he wants. For example, those high-ranking officials and nobles in the territory of the Great Zhou, the landlords are powerful and powerful! These people are far more expensive than the income of ordinary people! Lu Heng smiled, holding the teacup, passing through the rising mist, looking at Zhang Wenshan, who seemed to have some understanding, smiled lightly, and drew a circle on the names on the paper with the brush in his hand: "This tax, you can find a way from these people?" ”

"But in what name?" Zhang Wenshan heard some doorways, but on the whole it was still not clear. After thinking about it, although he felt that it was indeed a good way to tax these people, he had no choice but to do so. You can't just grab it. Moreover, these people are not good at stubble! If you ask them to pay, will they pay their taxes obediently?

"It's so much simpler!" Lu Heng smiled, put the brush on the inkstone, and said lightly: "What personal income tax, business tax, stamp duty, value-added tax, local tax, national tax, ......?"

There are no less than 20 names set up, and Zhang Wenshan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it.

In the end, Lu Heng suddenly seemed to remember something, picked up the brush, and added another name: "Well, if the conditions are ripe, there is also inheritance tax!" It's like the Tui En Decree during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. The difference is that the Push Grace Order is only a means of distribution. And the regret tax, take out one of the pieces! ”

Burst...... When he was trembling and holding up the teacup, wanting to take a sip of tea and suppress the tremor in his heart. Suddenly hearing Lu Heng say the three words inheritance tax, Zhang Wenshan suddenly couldn't help it, and squirted out the tea in his mouth.

Uh, taxes from the dead,!

Oh, this kind of immoral method, only Yongzheng, a kid, can think of it!

Seeing Zhang Wenshan's gaffe, Lu Heng smiled helplessly.

What is this, I haven't said yet, property tax, fuel tax, road maintenance tax!
