This is also tax, that is also tax,

East also tax, West also tax,

Everything is taxed,

10,000 taxes of the Republic of China, 10,000 taxes!

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the financial crisis has made the government more and more arbitrary, cleverly set up names, and there are many kinds of taxes, and there are thousands of names that can be named, of course, warlords in Sichuan and other places have received taxes in advance for decades.

Moreover, what is even worse is that the tax of 3 percent is stipulated to be levied, and when it comes to the heads of the common people, it is already a great gift to rise to 6 percent, and if it is not done well, it will reach 10 percent, which is a common thing to increase by two or three times.

Zhang Tinglan shouted a tax cut of 20 million, and if it really falls on the heads of the people, it can reduce the burden of 50 million or 60 million. It is conservatively estimated that millions of families will benefit from this, and families that were originally on the verge of bankruptcy will be able to survive, and farmers who have been out of breath will be able to recover a little bit of vitality.

Of course, along with the tax cuts and the rectification of the rule of officials, the three eastern provinces have almost cleaned up the old bureaucrats left behind by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and most of them will be the same in the Guannai, without these vampires who specialize in money, the burden on the common people will be further reduced.

These members of the National Assembly all know Zhang Tinglan's name, but it is the first time that they have seen his governing philosophy, the tax system and the official system are involved in all aspects, and Zhang Tinglan can unceremoniously carry out reforms, which shows his tough style.

However, on the issue of banning smoking, everyone has seen Zhang Tinglan's flexibility, he did not blindly stop opium cultivation, although this is a drug that harms the common people, but there are also deep social roots behind it.

If the common people can survive, they will not easily grow opium, because due to the expropriation and expropriation, it is no longer possible to grow food to make a living, and the common people can only grow opium of higher value. As a result, everyone planted it, which caused the price of opium to fall, and everyone was miserable.

Zhang Tinglan started with the tax system and the official system, and at the same time set up special funds to make the people give up opium cultivation through the leverage of interests, there is no doubt that this is a very safe method, and everyone present also nodded frequently.

Some problems are not unthinkable, but they don't have the ability to do it. Zhang Tinglan first forced Britain to back down, gained fiscal respite, and then carried out drastic reforms, and the proportions were very in place, and these parliamentarians couldn't help but applaud. Perhaps China's hope lies in this young man.

Zhang Tinglan's Jihua was quickly approved by Congress, and Tang Shaoyi and Wang Shuhan joined forces to implement this round of reforms. The New Deal is finally blowing.

On New Year's Day 1923. The people of North China, who had been exploited, finally ushered in a glimmer of light, and Zhili, Shandong, and Beijing and Tianjin first began to implement reforms, referring to the experience of the three eastern provinces. A comprehensive reform began.

Just when the new policy was just implemented, Yang Yuting and Gu Weijun jointly found Zhang Tinglan, and the color on their faces was not very good.

"Humble words, I'm afraid it's not over yet!"

Zhang Tinglan frowned. Hurriedly asked, "Why did Lingge say that?" ”

"To put it mildly, I have just received a secret report that academic leaders in Shanghai and Wuhan and other places are going to jointly boycott education reform, and some unsuccessful legislators, as well as political veterans, are also active frequently."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, her brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but say: "These are all diseases of scabies, not worth mentioning, what is the attitude of those military leaders along the Yangtze River?" ”

Yang Yuting hurriedly said: "The problem lies in them, since Feng Guozhang became the governor of Jiangsu, the direct line has occupied the Yangtze River Basin, and now the Jiangsu overseer Qi Xieyuan, the Jiangxi capital Cai Chengxun, the Hubei overseer Xiao Yaonan, the Hunan governor Zhao Hengti, the commander of the Hubei Second Division Sun Chuanfang and others are all direct people, plus Wu Peifu who is entrenched in the Central Plains, the direct line is still huge, and recently these people are also secretly linked, I am afraid that they will take advantage of the situation to make trouble." ”

Gu Weijun on the side couldn't help but say: "Vice President, I think there is one more thing that needs attention, and that is the attitude of the British. We have just entered into negotiations with the UK, but there is still one tail left, which is the issue of tariffs. The British have recently changed their attitude by making unreasonable demands to postpone customs by a decade and return them to China. ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, his brows furrowed, in fact, at first he asked the customs to be completely handed over to China, and the customs duties should be taken care of, and those foreign employees were all cleared out. However, China lacks specialized personnel and has no experience in managing customs, and it is very important to import a large number of machinery and equipment to maintain the stability of customs in order to engage in economic construction.

However, the premise is to revise the tariffs on some goods, such as goods that can be produced domestically, the tariffs will be raised from about 5 percent to 20 percent, and the tax on luxury goods will be raised to 150 percent.

"The Yangtze River basin is the traditional territory of the British, and the direct movement is also the British movement, and I am worried about what the connection is behind this. In other words, the British want to get their face back in the Yangtze River basin! Yang Yuting couldn't help but say.

Zhang Tinglan turned around on the ground a few times, and then nodded slightly: "Immediately strengthen the intelligence investigation of the south for me, and don't let go of any abnormal movements." ”

……

The undercurrent of the Central Plains is turbulent, but ordinary people do not know this, seeing that the New Year is coming again, the people of ten miles and eight towns push small carts and rush to Beijing.

The car was loaded with chickens and ducks, dried vegetables, grains and other things, and after a year's hard work, the people basically had nothing left, all relying on selling something, changing a few pounds of white noodles to go back, and then cutting a piece of pork, and eating a dumpling in Chinese New Year's Eve.

For ordinary people, this is already a great blessing. A man in his thirties, pushing a single-wheeled cart with two chickens and half a pocket of mung beans, and his teenage son also followed closely by his side.

The son lowered his head slightly, looked at the torn cotton shoes that had exposed his toes, and said softly: "Dad, I want to sell a pair of shoes!" ”

When the man heard this, his body paused slightly, then he glanced at his son who lowered his head, and sighed slightly: "Go back and ask your mother to make up for your shoes, and you can still wear them!" ”

"Dad, can you buy a new dress for my sister, she always wears what I left, and some people always say that she is a little flower!"

This man's facial features were a little distorted, and he shook his head bitterly: "Don't say it, just blame my father for not being capable!" ”

They walked forward silently, the atmosphere became extremely depressing, suddenly this man frowned, in front of him is Chongwenmen, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, if you want to enter Beijing, you have to pass through here, the imperial court set up a tax card in Chongwenmen, any goods entering Beijing, must pay taxes.

This also makes all businessmen daunted, as the so-called Son of Heaven Gate is high, which is about Chongwenmen. There are all kinds of taxes, and there are also unwarranted extortion, especially ordinary people who have no power and power, even if they rob their things, no one cares.

Seeing the tall Chongwenmen, this man couldn't help but clench his fists, last year, he was full of joy and pushed two bags of soybeans, wanting to change some New Year's goods for the family, who knew that when he first arrived in Chongwenmen, he was favored by the tax officer, and said that his soybeans were adulterated, and then confiscated them, and beat him.

The family could only gnaw on sticks and noodles at night, and now when they think of the child's disappointed eyes, their hearts are still full of colic. I don't know how much tax I have to pay this year, but I just hope that there is a little left so that my family can spend a year.

This time he arrived at Chongwenmen again, he only felt a little strange, the usual tax payment queue was gone, and the people pushed the cart and went directly.

Seeing this, this man also felt a little strange, with the flow of people, he also came over, the original tax collectors were all gone, but there were eight patrol officers on both sides directing the traffic to prevent congestion, one after another people walked through the Chongwen Gate, and did not see anyone paying.

This man suddenly felt that something strange happened, and there happened to be an old patrol officer next to him, and he hurriedly asked: "Sir, has this tax card been moved inside, why haven't you seen the boss who collects taxes?" ”

The old patrolman smiled slightly: "You are really interesting, and you are still looking forward to paying taxes, do you have too much money in your pocket?" ”

The man's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Where did the countrymen get the money, they just thought that when the imperial court never suffered a loss, they could avoid anything, but they couldn't avoid this tax." ”

"Haha, brother, this time you have escaped, to tell you the truth, the vice president has just ordered, the Chongwenmen tax card has been revoked, and you will no longer have to pay taxes when you enter and leave Beijing in the future. And I also tell you a good news, farmers come to Beijing to sell agricultural products, there is a special market, which only charges five cents for the booth fee, and there is no need to pay other fees at all! ”

When this man heard this, his eyes immediately widened: "Is what you said true?" ”

"I'm so old, I can't lie to you, hurry up and go into the city, sell things, and sell some New Year's goods."

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank me for what to do, thank you for the vice president, it's a good time!"

"Hey!" The man nodded hurriedly, pulled his son, and a smile appeared on his face: "This time, you and your sister have new clothes and shoes!" ”

The two of them pushed the car, becoming more and more brisk. Countless people who have benefited from this moment have really remembered the country, and there is a reliable vice president who can think about the people.

The capital was immersed in the joy of the New Year, Zhang Tinglan also let people pick up the official residence, he didn't have time to go back to Fengtian, and his father Zhang Zuoxiang decided to take the whole family to the capital for the New Year. Thinking that her daughter-in-law and daughter were coming over, Zhang Tinglan had a happy smile on her face, personally commanding the staff, decorating the room, and waiting for the family to reunite.

However, just as the New Year was approaching, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai arrived at the official residence again, and when Zhang Tinglan saw them, he immediately nodded secretly, he must have come again.

Yang Yuting also smiled bitterly: "Humble words, I'm afraid this year won't stop." ”

"Well, let's say, I'm ready too!"

"A group of elders and scholars from the Shanghai area issued an autonomy program, calling for the implementation of inter-provincial autonomy in the provinces south of the Yangtze River!" (To be continued......)
