Chapter 316: Taxes
"Your Majesty, this question, when there is time in the future, the minister will naturally relieve all your Majesty's doubts. ”
"When Your Majesty went to deal with government affairs, the minister had already figured out part of the situation in my Great Qin. ”
"Now... It's not the time to say this, please Your Majesty Haihan. ”
When Zhao Xin heard this, he also became serious, since Zhuge Liang knew a little about his empire, he must have a high insight, and Zhuge Liang should actually be the strongest in internal affairs.
"Okay, I know, please advise the Prime Minister. ”
Zhuge Liang was a little quieter, and he also thought that he was very knowledgeable, and when he came up to ask himself this kind of question, this was really the first time he had seen it, but now it is much more normal.
"First and foremost, taxes. ”
"Your Majesty, speaking of which, in fact, the most important thing in a country is money. ”
"It may sound strange, but it's the same for countries and individuals. ”
"In all industries, the people are actually trying to make money, including His Majesty's ministers and generals, if you don't pay the military salary and salary, the court can't function. ”
"But Your Majesty has not completely sorted out the tax so far, and I am advised to assist Lord Yu Qian in this matter. ”
Zhuge Liang and Yu Qian are doing things together? Zhao Xin felt that he was about to be overturned, these two saint-level figures actually did things at the same time under him.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Xin's whole face turn red.
"Oh... It's okay, I've got a fever today. ”
"Don't talk about this, this little illness is nothing, let's talk about taxes first. ”
Even for a person like Zhuge Liang, he really didn't understand what was wrong with Zhao Xin at this moment, because Zhuge Liang didn't know that Yu Qian was also a top minister.
Yu Qian's exploits do not even belong to Zhuge Liang, if there is no Yu Qian, the Ming Dynasty would have ended early, and it was still occupied by foreign invasions, and the Han regime is very different.
The people will be brutalized to varying degrees, and it is very important to rely on the big tree of Yu Qian to repel the foreign invasion.
This feeling, Zhuge Liang and Yu Qian are both doing things under their own hands, this Great Qin is really hopeful, not only his own emperor, but the entire people of Great Qin will be blessed.
After Zhuge Liang heard Zhao Xin say this, he didn't dwell on this issue, and said: "Okay, if it's not in the way, the minister will continue to analyze the current situation for Your Majesty." ”
Listen to this, analyze! What are the top strategists and civil ministers, analyze the two words, and Zhao Xin, who listened to it, trembled.
Zhuge Liang: "....."
"Your Majesty, if you are really seriously ill, this matter will be put aside for the time being. ”
Zhao Xin waved his hand, "Don't ask me about my illness, I have already taken the medicine, and it is a very small illness, Aiqing continued." ”
"Okay, then the subordinate will continue to analyze. ”
"Taxation is the most critical point, the imperial court will not have an economic deficit now, but if it does not rectify the tax revenue, if there is a deficit, Your Majesty, you will find that the royal family in the capital will not be able to operate and operate. ”
"Your Majesty must not underestimate the taxes of various places. ”
"Although even a very wealthy city is definitely not as much as half of the economic income of the capital, but with such a vast territory as Great Qin, one city is nothing, and the tax revenue added up by hundreds of cities is actually an astronomical amount. ”
"The most urgent task at the moment is not to rectify the tax revenue in the capital, but to rectify the local administrative divisions at all levels. ”
Zhao Xin nodded, "I understand what you mean." ”
"The tax revenue in the capital is to solve the urgent need, but in the long run, it will fall into a greater predicament. ”
"It's better to rectify the tax revenue in various places first, although it will be difficult for a while, but in the end it will be endless. ”
Zhuge Liang replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, that's what the minister meant. ”
"Although the tax revenue of the capital is also very large, it will never be more than the total administrative divisions of various places. ”
"In areas other than 70,000, government offices at all levels have different degrees of corruption and tax deductions. ”
"This is a sign that the empire is beginning to decay, and the local government must not have problems with taxation. ”
"Your Majesty has revitalized the dynasty, and he is already the lord of the Holy Ming, but the local tax can be chaotic like this, and it is the first time that the minister has seen it, which is really a bit exaggerated. ”
"It seems that His Majesty's rights are only limited to the vicinity of the capital. ”
Of course, Zhao Xin understands this situation, but the Qin State that he crossed over, to put it mildly, is prepared for the protagonist Chu Zhan to send experience.
It is to raise this Qin State that only Chu Zhan has alone, in his own situation, if he opens the perspective of God, he feels that it will be over if he directly finds a rope to commit suicide, and directly starts the next game.
But now it's finally rectified, but just like Zhuge Liang said, the imperial court has finally returned to the right path, and the local governments at all levels over the years are really like knocking on the medicine, rotten and happy to the extreme.
The official of the feudal territory is the emperor of the soil, and now that the problems of the central government have been solved, it is indeed time to solve the problems of various localities.
Those who should be guilty should be beheaded, and those who are locked up in prison cells should not let these local officials think that they will not even say a word if they swallow the imperial grain of Daqin into their stomachs.
Zhao Xin said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, I understand what you mean, I understand this truth, but I am ashamed to say that it is really difficult to rectify it." ”
"When will we have to wait until we finish rectifying one region after another?"
"It's not as troublesome as His Majesty thought. Zhuge Liang said.
"You don't need to rectify every region, you just need to rectify the county guards in each place. ”
"Please tell me more about it. Zhao Xin said.
"Your Majesty only needs to strictly rectify all the county towns, and then let the county guards exert downward pressure, from top to bottom, Your Majesty only needs to take care of the county guards to complete this matter. ”
"Of course, there is a more direct way for the minister, just leave it to the minister to deal with it. ”
"Your Majesty only needs to let the minister carry the gold medal of the Son of Heaven given to the minister, and the minister can help His Majesty recover the taxes that the whole capital can't spend in a year. ”
Zhao Xin is waiting for this sentence, if you want to learn to govern the country with Zhuge Liang, you have to have that opportunity.
Now the entire Great Qin is still on the verge of collapse, just let Zhuge Liang do it, and when he slowly finishes learning, the high-ranking officials in those places have already run out of greed.
"Prime Minister, please come tomorrow to listen to the early dynasty, the Son of Heaven token, naturally it will be placed here for you first. ”
"If you see this gold medal, you can hold it all the time. ”
"But it is not enough to have the Son of Heaven token, I must give you a position. ”
"It's good for you to come tomorrow to listen to the morning court. ”
