"Your Majesty, although your method is good, I am afraid it will not be easy to implement......"

After the end of the small court meeting in the palace, the left prime minister Zuo Zongtang, the right prime minister Zheng Hong, the speaker Liu Peng, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance Chen Jijie, and the military advisor Luo Zenan and other five people were left by Emperor Zhu to continue the small meeting.

Zhu Jishi's just launched official field property declaration system is undoubtedly another evil policy that offends the world's corporal doctors, coupled with the previous rectification of the field, Emperor Zhu is probably already a public enemy in the eyes of the world's corporals! If the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still there at this time, there would probably be many people who would want to look north to the king!

Seeing Zuo Zongtang's embarrassed expression, Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "Zuo Xiang, I have my own measure. I am truly with the scholars and doctors, and the methods I am doing now are all for the sake of the people of the world. Therefore, while rectifying the land endowment and registering the land property, I also planned to implement a "tax sharing law" and share the tax of a country with the scholars. ”

"Uh...... Share a country's tax ......"

Zuo Zongtang, Zheng Hong and the other five people are all confused, how can this Emperor Zhu have so many strange methods? It is really unheard of for the emperor and the scholars to divide the tax, and I don't know how to divide it?

"Everyone in the world knows that I am a master of the Ming Dynasty and a doctor." Emperor Zhu Tian said shamelessly.

But what does it mean to have the whole world? My understanding is to share the benefits of the world. Since ancient times, emperors and scholars have a tradition of being ashamed of their words, although everyone loves profit, but they are secretive and hypocritical. Therefore, many things related to interests cannot be discussed separately, so a win-win and mutually beneficial rule cannot be set. So a lot of things are broken. It often causes trouble in the world. It's really a sigh of relief. ”

Zhu Jishi sighed heavily. He also said: "And the kingdoms of Taixi are all for love, and for everyone to speak for profit." When it comes to interests, all sides will make their positions clear, negotiate repeatedly, and at the end of the day, most likely reach a compromise that is acceptable to all parties. Acting like this, of course, there are some villains, but in terms of effect, it is also stronger than ours in the country of gentlemen! ”

A country of gentlemen? Zuo Zongtang said in his heart. What Emperor Lao Tzu wants to say is probably the country of hypocrites, right?

"The "Tax Sharing Law" that I came up with is to put the benefits of the world on the table and set a way to divide the fertilizer. There must be a rule for how much the imperial court gets, and how much the local provinces, prefectures, and counties get. The local government has overtaxed, and naturally they have benefited more. If you can't collect taxes or refuse to collect taxes, you can't make a profit. ”

Zhu Jishi said eloquently. The method he is talking about now is actually to clone the "tax sharing system" of the later Celestial Empire, and the local governments of the Celestial Empire in the later generations have made the end of the fiscal expansion so high that it cannot be higher, whether it is to attract investment or develop real estate, every place has exerted enough strength. The reason for this, of course, is first and foremost the credit of Marx. Then there is Taizu and Taizong, their thoughts are powerful, and then they are driven by interests! Belch. The local government is trying to make money, and they are comfortable spending it themselves, isn't it? If no matter how much tax the local government collects, it will be put into the pockets of the imperial court, and the local government will naturally have no motivation. With such an obvious truth, how can the capitalists of Zhu Da not know the truth?

In the past, when the political power was created, the local legislative, judicial, administrative, and financial systems had not yet been established, and in some places even the military and the government had not been completely separated. However, now that the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the eight southeastern provinces has stabilized and the external environment is relatively stable, it is time to carry out the reform of the tax-sharing system.

"My idea is this, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty should be divided into two types: central tax and local tax. The three taxes, including customs duty, salt tax, and interest tax, are all central taxes. At present, the two taxes of customs and salt are about 2,000 yuan each, and the interest tax has not yet been levied, and I plan to collect 5% of the interest income from the savings of banks and banks, which is about 3 million to 4 million yuan. In this way, almost 43 million yuan is the foundation of the central finance. The local tax is composed of five major taxes, including commercial tax, material tax, mining tax, land tax, and stamp duty, as well as some scattered small taxes. The income is divided among the courts, provinces, prefectures, and counties. In principle, we should adopt the approach of making more contributions in rich areas and less or no in poor areas. At the same time, the representation of the county bureaus in the provincial bureaus, the provincial bureaus in the provincial bureaus, and the provincial bureaus in the Constituent Assembly are linked to the amount of their contributions...... Of course, as long as the localities complete the basic tax targets issued by the imperial court, they cannot be financially self-sufficient, and they have to rely on subsidies from their superiors and the imperial court, and they can also have a certain number of basic representations in the higher public bureaus or constituent assemblies.

If the place fails to meet the basic tax targets issued by the imperial court and the superiors, then the right of representation will be deducted until the right of representation is abolished! A generation of local representatives was abolished, and the local government was immediately dissolved, and all the local officials went home to eat their own, and then the higher-level government or the imperial court appointed foreign officials to take over and implement military and political management, and the taxes were also collected by foreign officials! The qualifications of the local scholars to participate in the imperial examination were also immediately cancelled. Until the gentry and merchants of the place jointly petitioned me and were willing to pay taxes.

In addition, in terms of the system of appointing officials, in principle, locals should be local officials in localities below the prefectural level. There are also court officials at and above the prefecture level who are not restricted by their place of origin. Moreover, the number and treatment of local officials can be reported to the imperial court for approval after consultation between local governments and public bureaus. In principle, where there is a lot of taxes, more officials can be arranged, and the treatment of officials can be higher, in short, the only way to pay the taxes that should be given to me is to hand them over, and the rest of them just divide them privately. As for places with less taxes, fewer people will be appointed to serve as officials, and the salaries of officials will also be lower. In other words, the amount of taxes was linked to the interests of the officials themselves, as well as to the interests of the local gentry. If the gentry in any place did not want to be officials and wanted outsiders to rule, they could collude to resist taxes and not pay taxes! ”

Hearing this, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Zenan, and their mouths all opened wide, how could this Emperor Zhu become more and more insidious, and actually came up with such a tax law that kills a thousand knives to deal with the world's corporal doctors! actually linked the official qualifications of the gentry in a place with the tax payment situation in the place, and if the tax payment target was not completed, everyone had no official to do it, and let outsiders rule! Who is willing to do this! Moreover, letting outsiders rule does not mean that you don't have to pay taxes, and when the time comes, the officials will have nothing to do, and the taxes will have to be paid, and they will definitely have to pay more under the oppression of outsiders, isn't it too miserable?

When Zhu Jishi said this, Zuo Zongtang and others found an opportunity to interject, Zuo Zongtang said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there are bad gentry in the local area who will incite the villagers to fight against the imperial court, and it will not be good if there is any turmoil." ”

Zhu Jishi shook his head: "Xiucai is not afraid of rebellion, because Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan and others are all masters who can't get into Xiucai." Moreover, what I am doing now is in line with the interests of the scholars, and I believe that most of the scholars also understand this truth, and they also have a share of the taxes that come up as officials. If you still want to test the sword in your hand, just let the horse come! ”

Luo Zenan took a breath and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the inferior gentry will harm the people, and now the local government and gentry are almost one, although they dare not try the sword of His Majesty, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not pass on the taxes to the tenant farmers." Now the tenant farmers are already very miserable, if they have to pay more rent, I am afraid that they will really not be able to live, please think twice! ”

"I don't care about this!" Zhu Jishi waved his hand and said, "If they want to 'delay' tax evasion, I will deprive them of their qualifications to be officials, they will use 'short prices' to evade taxes, and I will also deprive them of their qualifications to be officials, and they will pass on taxes to tenant farmers, and tenants are not only exploited by landlords?" If they don't want to be exploited, they don't want to be tenant farmers! So even if the landlords forced the tenant farmers to rebel, I didn't blame them, and I even sent troops to help them suppress them! My soldiers are not the tofu scum of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty, and a few people who have changed people are not ready to be captured? ”

What kind of emperor is this! The five ministers in the hall couldn't believe their ears, this emperor Lao Tzu didn't care about whether the tenant farmers could survive at all, he didn't know the truth that the water could carry a boat and also capsize a boat? (To be continued......)
