Tian Fan knew that saying these words would offend people, and the offended people would go to the sea, but he knew that people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants, if they were not stopped at this time, once the behavior of not paying taxes became a habit and became fashionable, it would be too late, and Xuzhou would be over. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, this is the reason.

Besides, Tian Fan is not afraid of offending people now. I used to see that Chen Qun was not bad, but I didn't expect his family to be so rich, but he didn't even pay taxes, and the taxes that the Tian family should pay are not less, if you don't know, it doesn't matter, since you know......

In fact, it doesn't matter if you know, whether the deputy who handed in him has his share or not. Tian Fan did this, it was useful! He is deliberately offending people with a reasonable reason, a reason that everyone will not feel surprised and abrupt!

Mi Zhu didn't know that Tian Fan did it on purpose, but he knew that Tian Fan would offend people like this, so he hurriedly coughed and wanted to remind him.

But Tian Fan didn't care at all, he continued: "Besides, if they feel that Xuzhou is unfair to them, they can move away, the most important thing we in Xuzhou is the big clan!" Xuzhou has all kinds of advanced agricultural technology, and the grain they overharvest is the technology we provide, why don't they remember this? If there was no protection from the lord and the Xuzhou army, would they be able to collect so much grain? Our agricultural tax in Xuzhou is only one out of ten, how much is it in the rest of the places? Cao Mengde is now five taxes and one, Yuan Benchu is five taxes and two, and Yuan Highway is even more ruthless, charging half!

"If it weren't for the protection of the Xuzhou Legion, would they have been able to get so much? Why don't they want to think about it? I want all the good things, I have to be responsible, and I will retreat immediately, how can there be such a good thing? ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Lord, think about it, since our business has developed, how many people have made a fortune with us? How many of them have become great families? Did any of them evade taxes? No! What if they feel that the Lord has treated them unjustly and that they have stopped paying taxes? That's not a matter of losing 10% or 20%, that's a disaster! ”

Looking at Liu Bei, he was still pondering, and still hadn't made up his mind, Tian Fan couldn't help but be a little anxious, he said: "To govern the place, you should be gracious and powerful, and the lord should be the same." Now these big clans need our protection, we should collect taxes, they should have paid them! Your blind kindness, my lord, will not only not make them grateful, but will make them feel at ease. Even, I will scold you in my heart for the kindness of a woman, I don't have the courage, and I don't accept what I should receive!

"To govern the locality, you must be fair! If someone doesn't pay it, and someone pays it, then trouble comes. For example, those who pay taxes will feel at a loss, and those who don't pay taxes will not feel satisfied, and they will think, "If I don't pay agricultural taxes and I am not punished, can I pay a little less commercial tax?" After a long time, there will be a conflict between those who pay taxes and those who do not pay taxes. This contradiction will grow and eventually lead to uncontrollability, and eventually everyone will no longer pay taxes. Not only that, but they also have a grudge against the lord! Hehe, we important ministers all pay taxes, why don't they pay? If we see that the Lord is ignoring their behavior, and we get angry and don't pay, what will you do? ”

The last sentence is a bit ruthless, if it is known by someone who cares, the consequences will be serious. But fortunately, now Liu Bei was so ashamed by Tian Fan that he didn't pay attention to this.

After a while, Liu Bei hugged his fists at Tian Fan and said, "Boguang, I know it's wrong!" Yes, this matter must be prevented...... Just, how to do it? ”

Tian Fan said: "Lord, don't we have a tax law?" In addition to stipulating how to pay taxes and how much taxes to pay, isn't there also corresponding punitive measures in the tax laws drafted by Zizhong? ”…,

Liu Bei is very powerful, for example, when Tian Fan finished saying a word, he adjusted his emotions!

Hearing Tian Fan say this, he muttered: "It's okay, this matter will be done like this!" Well, the work of collecting taxes will be handed over to Ni Qiu, and those who do not pay taxes will be handed over to Liu Da to deal with, so good! ”

Tian Fan nodded and added: "In addition, the taxes that should be paid in our businesses, I want to deduct them directly from the dividends distributed to everyone every year, so that each family will have to pay taxes again!" ”

As mentioned above, the Tian family and the Mi family were only responsible for production, and sales were carried out by a large shop jointly funded by the various families with whom he cooperated. In the past, when collecting relevant commercial taxes, they were checked according to the account book of this super shop, and the specific profits were found out, and then collected from each family according to their share.

In this way, the money enters the door of some people's homes, and it is not so easy to make them spit it out!

Therefore, Tian Fan's idea solved this problem. This is equivalent to the fact that tax deductions are now carried out directly in the bank. Pay the tax first, and divide the rest of the people.

This kind of good idea directly puts an end to the possibility of tax evasion in those industries related to Tian Fan, and Liu Bei naturally will not refuse to agree.

After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, Mi Zhu complained: "Boguang, do you know how many people you will offend by your words? I coughed to remind you to be cautious, didn't you notice? ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Big brother, it's okay!" What's wrong with offending people? I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? After a pause, he put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "There are some things that someone has to do!" I am responsible for this matter. ”

After saying that, Tian Fan didn't say anything more, and strode towards the outside of the general's mansion.

Mi Zhu looked at Tian Fan's back and couldn't help but be a little stunned!

Tian Fan was very unhappy with Chen Qun in his heart! In fact, he doesn't value Chen Qun's lack of responsibility! Just imagine, he should have been responsible, but he avoided it, then, Tian Fan can think that he is a person who has no responsibility! Tian Fan can think that in a moment of crisis, he will abandon Xuzhou and Liu Bei. In history, didn't he leave when Liu Bei's army was defeated?

The surrounding environment of Xuzhou is harsh, and although its own development has been good, it is difficult to expand. At this time, it is necessary to concentrate the best talents and all the strength to increase the hope of Xuzhou's success. Chen Qun did make many mistakes in selecting talents, and he did not do his best enough.

The development of Xuzhou is everyone's responsibility, and it is also a problem that those of them in high positions must consider. Chen Qun, as the first person among the civil servants, did not pay taxes, and also received gifts when he was appointed to an official position, which is very bad! Gave a very bad head to the people below!

Although so far, there have been no major problems in Chen Qun's work, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems all the time. This kind of behavior of his will be called a traitor if it is ugly.

If it's because of his Chen Qun's family difficulties, forget it, he needs to save his family's belly. But now, Chen Jiafu's oil, and his thatched toilets are more luxurious than Tian Fan's bedroom. is so rich, but he still takes advantage of his power to accept gifts, which is incredible. But in any case, he is not dedicated to Liu Bei, which can be seen.

It is true that the fundamental reason why the family does everything is to make their family prosperous, and they will have reservations when assisting anyone. However, they will have a principle in doing things, that is, they are worthy of the trust of the lord and the salary that the lord pays him!

Liu Ye, Lu Su, Chen Deng and others are all children of the family, and they can be regarded as dedicated to Liu Bei and have no reservations. If Chen Qun compares with these people, it is far behind! …,

The reason why Tian Fan asked Liu Bei to crack down on tax evasion and tax evasion was on the surface because of the reasons Tian Fan told Liu Bei, but the deep-seated purpose was to teach Chen Qun a lesson! Let him know, don't think that God is the first and he is the second, don't think that if you are trusted by Liu Bei, you can do whatever you want, there are still people watching you, and there are still people who can cure you!

The next day, Liu Bei convened everyone to discuss the topic, and the topic of the discussion was the issue of taxation.

When Liu Bei said the specific method he discussed with Tian Fan, everyone didn't react much. Because, among the people present, only a very small number of people have tax evasion. These people, without exception, looked at Chen Qun, who was at the top of Wenchen.

Chen Qun's face was very bad, blue for a while, white for a while. He was indeed very distressed about the money, but none of the people present spoke, and it was not good for him to oppose Liu Bei's proposal alone.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Tian Fan arched his hand and said, "Everyone, everyone supports this initiative of the lord!" Our Xuzhou is indeed different from other places, and in other places, there are many people like us who do not have to pay taxes. However, our Xuzhou has many more rewards and rewards than them, and these do not need to pay taxes. The only thing that needs to pay taxes is their own property. Although these industries have to pay taxes, even after paying taxes, we still earn much more than we did ten years ago! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "To put it mildly, the reason why the various industries of the people in Xuzhou can have such a big profit is related to me!" Therefore, I think I have the right to say something about Xuzhou's taxes! ”

Glancing at everyone, Tian Fan lowered his face and said, "What I can give you can also be taken back!" I hate irresponsible people, so, I decided......

"In the future, if it is found that the tax is not paid, the Tian family and the Mi family will terminate all cooperation related to it! In addition, all related business dealings will be terminated. ”

This sentence was loud and loud, causing an uproar in the audience!

If you are not in Xuzhou, you can't appreciate the power of Tian Fan's words at all! In the soap, spirits and other businesses, most of the Xuzhou clans have cooperation with the Tian family, either participating in sales, or participating in the supply of raw materials, or processing, and so on. These upstream or downstream people can easily make a lot of money, so they all serve Tian Fan carefully, and Tian Fan has a good temper and has never been domineering, so Tian Fan's popularity is so good.

It can be said that Tian Fan alone unites most of the big clans in Xuzhou around Liu Bei!

Tian Fan's words are equivalent to declaring his determination, this decision makes everyone have to think about their own actions and what to do next!

Chen Qun's eyes flashed, and when he looked at Tian Fan, his gaze became a little cold! If it weren't for Tian Fan's words, Chen Qun could have played tricks on Liu Bei and refused to pay agricultural taxes, but now he ......
