Chapter 18: My brother won't treat you badly
Dong Hongjie has been an official for many years and has never heard of any commercial taxes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Now that I heard about the Qin Dynasty, I suddenly became interested.
"Business tax?"
The Qin Dynasty suddenly remembered that there was no concept of commercial tax in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As a merchant in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no need to pay commercial tax, only the entry tax.
As for the sales income tax, it is blank.
And it is precisely this blank that is called the local big businessman, who is rich enough to rival the country. Because, compared with the benefits earned, the tax paid is simply a drop in the bucket, and even a drop in the bucket is normal.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's tax focus was on agriculture rather than commerce. As a result, the peasants are generally not rich, but the businessmen are rich.
Because, the taxes paid by the two every year are the same. As for the entry tax for businessmen, it is not worth mentioning at all for businessmen.
Qin Chao explained: "The commercial tax was created by me in combination with some of Zheng Lao's ideas. ”
"The so-called commercial tax is to improve the commercial tax, so as to reasonably increase the national tax revenue."
Dong Hongjie's eyes lit up, and his breathing became a little short.
"Brother Qin, from now on, you will be my own brother. Tell us what you think. ”
After the Qin Dynasty hugged his fists and said yes, he explained: "Now the businessmen of my Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be very rich, and those who do big business are even rich enough to rival the country. ”
"This phenomenon is worth celebrating, and to a certain extent, it shows the strength and prosperity of our Great Zhou Dynasty. But if you look at it in combination with the national tax revenue, it is unreasonable. ”
"The merchant's interest was centred on the commercial trade, and they bought a quantity of goods, sold them in the bazaar, in the shops, and all the money they got went into their own pockets."
"It seems reasonable, but it's actually unreasonable. You must know that the field tax of my Great Zhou Dynasty was collected according to the size of the acre. So from another point of view, those who are businessmen should actually pay taxes on the goods they sell, and I name this tax as commercial tax. ”
"There were many merchants in my Great Zhou Dynasty, and according to the silver taels they earned from the sale of profits, they were taxed according to a certain tax ratio."
"For example, a big businessman earns a net income of 100 taels a month. Then, we can tax his net income according to the business tax. For the net income of 100 taels, we can charge 10 taels or 20 taels as business tax. ”
"For other taxes, we can change a little bit and reduce some of them, so that there will be a large number of people, thank you, Lord Dong. Of course, these are made under the premise that you have the right to change it, Master Dong. ”
"In this way, it won't be long before your political achievements, Lord Dong, will surely shock the southern states, and even reach the ears of the emperor of the capital."
When the Qin Dynasty said this, he stopped talking. He said everything that should be said, if Dong Hongjie doesn't understand it again, then he will be a big fool.
Dong Hongjie is naturally not a big fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. Qin Dynasty's words made him feel like an initiation, and he suddenly had a lot of ideas.
With the emergence of these ideas, Dong Hongjie was very excited, and he had foreseen how much political achievements he would have in the future.
Dong Hongjie is no longer worried about whether the position of the prefect of Jinling can be secured, he has begun to fantasize about what he will be like and what kind of things he will do when he is promoted again in a few years.
The more I thought about Dong Hongjie, the happier and more excited I became. Dong Hongjie was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
The Qin Dynasty did not stop it and let Dong Hongjie go on like this.
After a long time, Dong Hongjie didn't think much about it and recovered.
Looking at the Qin Dynasty at this moment, Dong Hongjie is more and more satisfied, and the more he looks at it, the happier he becomes, and even has the idea of marrying his daughter to the Qin Dynasty and asking the Qin Dynasty to be his son-in-law.
Thinking of his daughter who was about to become an adult, Dong Hongjie had some decisions in his heart.
Dong Hongjie looked at Qin Chao and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, it's really my honor to meet you. Today, I'm going to have a few more drinks with you. ”
"Okay." Qin Chao smiled and nodded.
Dong Hongjie slapped his hands hard a few times, and soon, Master Song Ming and Master Song walked in with a smile.
Dong Hongjie looked at Song Ming and deliberately pretended to be angry and said: "Master Song, how did you do it, why haven't you prepared the snacks until now." ”
Song Ming hurriedly clenched his fists and said apologetically: "There are a few dishes, which require some effort and a longer time." Now that it's almost over, I'll arrange for them to serve it. ”
"Go quickly, don't let my brother Qin wait for a long time." Dong Hongjie nodded and said.
After Song Ming nodded again, he turned to leave.
Soon, steaming new dishes were brought to the table.
"Brother Qin, you have to help my brother more, my brother won't treat you badly." Dong Hongjie finished smiling and drank a cup of himself.
Seeing this, the Qin Dynasty had no choice but to return a cup.
……
This meal of wine was drunk for more than three hours before it was over. After leaving from the prefect and county government, the Qin Dynasty was already drunk and unable to walk, and Dong Hongjie was also very drunk, but he still ordered Song Ming to personally send people to send the Qin Dynasty back to the Qin Mansion.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Qin Chao woke up from his bed. I didn't feel any discomfort, but I still felt very comfortable.
"Ancient wine is much better than modern wine. At least, it won't be that hard to wake up drunk. Qin Chao sighed.
Yesterday at the banquet, the Qin Dynasty promised to go to the government again today to discuss the commercial tax with Dong Hongjie, as for when to go, there was no agreement, and the Qin Dynasty was not in a hurry.
After the Qin Dynasty cleaned up, he began to continue reciting the martial arts cheats he named Ming.
An hour later, the Qin Dynasty opened the gate of the Qin Mansion.
Opening the gate of the Qin Mansion, the Qin Dynasty saw two officials waiting outside the gate of the Qin Mansion.
The Qin Dynasty saw them, and they also saw the Qin Dynasty.
"Qin Gongzi." The two officials hurriedly spoke respectfully.
Today's Qin Dynasty is happily called Brother Qin by their prefect Dong Hongjie. With this voice of Brother Qin, they didn't dare to provoke the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Chao nodded, looked at them and said, "You guys are?" ”
"We are waiting here on the orders of the prefect. If Qin Gongzi decides to go to the mansion, we will lead the way for Qin Gongzi. ”
After hearing this, Qin Chao understood Dong Hongjie's deep meaning, and he couldn't wait to implement Dong Hongjie immediately.
The Qin Dynasty could understand Dong Hongjie's urgency, and the Qin Dynasty had nothing to do with his arrangement.
"In that case, then I'll go to the government office first." Qin Chao thought for a moment and spoke.
"Qin Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll go and lead the horse over." After one of the officials spoke respectfully to the Qin Dynasty, he quickly ran to the side to lead the horse.
The other official stayed by the Qin Dynasty's side, silent.
Soon, the official came with his horse.
Horseback riding is a rare thing in modern times, and the Qin Dynasty has ridden it several times, and now that there is an opportunity to come again, the Qin Dynasty naturally does not refuse.
Looking at the tall and mighty jujube red horse in front of him, the Qin Dynasty became interested. When even if you hold the reins, step on the stirrups and turn over on the horse.
