Chapter 174 Suzhou's New Normal
(Thank you Yunqi Qinggu for your tip~~)
"Hahahaha~~" Wang Feng suddenly burst out with a long laugh, which scared Lu'e and Caiya a lot, and they both shuddered.
Wang Feng waved his hand with a hint of apology, and praised: "Okay, Boss Shen is quick to talk, I believe that everyone here must have a similar mentality, and I understand that the people of Suzhou actually don't welcome us, but the Qing Dynasty is too uncompetitive, and I swept through southern Jiangsu with more than 3,000 miscellaneous troops within a month, so I had to welcome me into the city."
However, I don't care if you welcome me or not, I won't leave when I come, and I also hope that you can recognize the shape of the sky, southern Jiangsu has changed the sky, this day, is no longer the day of the Qing Dynasty, but the sky of our Han people!
Of course, anyone will say empty words, recognize a person, not to see what he says, but to see how he does, but just do not say it, today I only mention two points, first of all, our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army's policy is fairness, openness, justice, transparency, except for military secrets and diplomatic exchanges, everything can not be publicized, our purpose is to support normal business activities and healthy competition, resolutely crack down on black-box operations, put an end to power rent-seeking, cut off the transfer of interests!
As us, no one is allowed to use power for personal gain, as you, buy the government, maximize benefits, and fight competitors The era is over.
In fact, I believe that the original intention of the vast majority of people sitting here does not want to take the crooked door, but the environment has to do it, but with the stationing of our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, the smog over Suzhou will be dispelled, you don't have to send extra money to the government, and do things according to the rules, this is the new normal in Suzhou in the future!
Maybe some people will not be comfortable, worried that the government will not do things for themselves without collecting additional money, or they will no longer eat and take cards on the surface, but secretly they frequently stretch out their black hands, what should I do? I now resolutely tell you, this is completely redundant, we will have specific measures in a few days~~ Taiwan, I hope you can do your best to adapt to the new normal!
Taking a step back, what's wrong with building a clean and efficient order together? Are you willing to give more money? Did your money fall from the world? If someone is not adaptable, okay, then pay taxes, all into the government finance, for the benefit of the people of Suzhou, what do you think? ”
"Commander Wang laughed~~" There was a haha sound in the banquet, who is willing to pay more if they can pay less, and many people are even more ear-to-ear, and the atmosphere is also a little relaxed.
After Shen Mingshao glanced at everyone, he arched his hand: "Commander Wang has this heart, naturally it is the blessing of my Suzhou business community, who is not willing to operate by legitimate means, we sincerely hope that Commander Wang has the same heart, and since Commander Wang has made his words clear, the old man will ask more, how should this tax be collected?" ”
"That's the second point I'm going to make." Wang Feng nodded, pressed his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, just now Boss Shen asked me how to collect taxes, this should be a concern for everyone, for the government, it is natural to collect as much as possible, but for merchants, it is to pay as little as possible, or even not to pay!"
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the southeast merchant Jia Fujia was in the world, and even there were salt merchants with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but they never paid taxes to the court, they sponsored the Donglin Party to fight for their own interests, and also called it: the emperor did not compete with the people for profit, forcing Chongzhen to only tax from the poor peasants, in order to maintain the war with Li Zicheng and Jiannu, which brought about a vicious circle, the more the levy, the more the peasants obeyed, resulting in Li Zicheng growing step by step in the encirclement and suppression of the court, forcing Chongzhen to death, and finally being picked up by Jiannu, the Han family has been lost since then!
After the Qing army went down to the south of the Yangtze River, how many of those businessmen who cried and made trouble and did not pay taxes saved their lives? And under the butcher's knife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, don't you still pay taxes obediently? Even pay more, in addition to paying taxes, you also have to pay a little filial piety, local officials in southern Jiangsu change every year, every time you come to office, you have to do it once, don't you have complaints? But what if there is a complaint? There is no shortage of money to pay!
You are the fat sheep in the eyes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, taking your wool over and over again, and even if the Ming Dynasty is not in every way, it can at least protect you, the fall of the Ming Dynasty is a bloody lesson, without everyone, where is the small family? Without a country, how can there be your home? The ancients have long pointed out: How many eggs are there under the nest?
It is true that it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, it does not matter whether they are righteous or evil, but I ask you to look farther, don't just look at the soles of your feet, the world is very big, foreigners can come to us in China to dump goods, I also hope that you will go abroad in the future, do business all over the world, for the temporary difficulties and good prospects, the government will consider providing low-interest loans and give certain policy preferences, in short, I hope that everyone here will be the world's richest people in the future, and I hope that the money you earn is clean money, Money of conscience! ”
"Good! All right! Commander Wang said it well! When I said this, many people were enthusiastic and couldn't help but applaud loudly!
But some scheming people, such as Shen Mingshao and the like, did not follow the coaxing, but exchanged a surprised look with each other, in the past, their understanding of Wang Feng only stayed at the rumor stage, but today they have really seen it, just to incite people's hearts, how many people in the world have this ability? In terms of military talent, it is no wonder that he was able to snowball more than 3,000 miscellaneous troops to more than 10,000 in one month!
When the noise below stopped a little, Wang Feng arched his hand: "I'm sorry everyone, I was far away just now, hehe~~ Now I'm talking about business, how much should this tax be collected, how should it be collected, to be honest, I am temporarily blind, so I propose a Jianyi, at present, it is still collected in the way of the Qing court, and after a year or two, we have adapted to each other, understood, we will sit together again, negotiate with each other, absorb the advanced tax system of foreigners, and then combine the actual situation in China to negotiate a result that satisfies all aspects. How, as a law is strictly enforced? ”
"Okay, okay, just do what Commander Wang says!" Below applauded again, in the Kangqian period, the Qing Dynasty on the merchants of the tax is roughly divided into real estate deed tax, business and license tax and commodity circulation tax three categories of dozens of sub-categories, since the Opium ~ ~ War, and gradually levied the levy of the levy and customs duties, the latter two are completely according to the number of goods in circulation tax, as long as the market grows, commodity transshipment, the court can continue to collect.
Although there are many types of taxes, Wang Feng also temporarily collects taxes in the way of the Qing Dynasty, but filial piety saves some money, and the card is gone, how much can be saved in a year, everyone has an account in their hearts, and Wang Feng also promised to renegotiate taxes within one to two years!
Shen Mingshao also bowed deeply: "The old man really believes that Commander Wang does have a long-term plan from now on, if Commander Wang can be consistent in words and deeds, then we Han people will have hope, just for the prospect of my Suzhou business community, please accept the old man's worship!" ”
Pan Aixuan, Song Wenze, and Bei Jinen, Han Yingjie and other gentry sitting nearby also bowed their hands together: "Commander Wang has great ambitions and cares about China, please accept my wait!" ”
Lu E and Cai Aya are heart throbbing, a word to convince hundreds of gentry, swept southern Jiangsu within a month, this is a real man, especially Wang Feng's tall and glorious image when he is gushing, it is deeply imprinted in their hearts, capable men, who doesn't like it, it's a pity that Wang Feng doesn't seem to be interesting to them, and for a while, the two pairs of beautiful eyes are a little dim.
Wang Feng didn't seem to notice the change in the second daughter's expression, stretched out his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't applaud first, you can be calm when discussing taxes, don't point at my nose and scold my mother, Wang is grateful, come, get up." ”
Everyone understands what Wang Feng is talking about, as he himself mentioned, from the perspective of the government, it is hoped that more will be levied, and from the perspective of businessmen, it is hoped that there will be less levy, there will be contradictions and conflicts, and there will even be fierce confrontations, but in any case, it is always good to be able to solve the problem.
Shen Mingshao stood up straight, took it and said: "We believe that Commander Wang has the sincerity to negotiate with my Suzhou merchants to solve the tax problem, and we have also seen Commander Wang's sincerity today, so we naturally have to express it, the old man will take the lead, cut the pigtails Mingzhi, and bring scissors!" ”
A servant girl handed over a pair of scissors, Shen Mingshao received it in his hand, pulled the braid and clamped it hard, and with a snap, half of the black and shiny big braid was cut off!
"I'll come, I'll come, I'll cut too!"
Bang Bang Bang! One by one, the braids were piled up on the ground, and in just a few moments, everyone cut off their braids!
Wang Feng's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he looked at the table again, and Cai Aya grabbed the wine glass in front of Lu E.
Wang Feng took it in his hand and raised it high: "Thank you to all the fathers and villagers in Suzhou, I will give you another glass!" ”
"Commander Wang, do it!" Everyone drank it all and laughed!
Shen Mingshao also greeted with a smile: "Commander Wang, don't patronize and drink, you have to eat food, this is my special water seat in Suzhou, please!" ”
"Please!" Under the leadership of Wang Feng, everyone sat down one after another, and Lu E and Cai Aya gave Wang Feng every kind of fish to taste, and tasted it all over unconsciously in the praise and laughter.
Lu'e and Caiya both put down their chopsticks, and Caiya smiled strangely: "Our sisters need to leave for a while, please ask Commander Wang for forgiveness." ”
'Huh? Wang Feng was slightly stunned, he wouldn't go to the bar for others, although he didn't have the idea of beating these two women, he always muttered a little in his heart, but he still waved his hand generously: "If you have something to do, I can do it myself." ”
"Aya, green moth go and go back." The second daughter seemed to see Wang Feng's stunned expression, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and walked outside the banquet.
