Du Lin had planned to leave early the next morning, but after such an incident, he would definitely go to the Starlight Agency building to show up and tell everyone that the company had changed owners, but everything was no different from before. He doesn't interfere in any of the day-to-day work, he still has Madur in charge, and he only stands up when he needs to solve some problems.

In addition to that, he also made an appointment with Rani.

The last time he met with Rani was on the day of the official opening of Otis City, he and Rani had some small tax plans, which, if implemented, would also increase a lot of tax revenue for the empire. Durin thinks that Mags actually knows that there is a discussion between him and Rani about taxation, and both parties tacitly do not talk about it, and let Durin talk to Rani in person, in addition to Margus needs to pretend not to care much about Durin's affairs, he also needs someone to stand on the front line and charge for reform, but it is definitely not him who personally goes into battle.

This one has a question about taxation, which is the new tax.

When Durin first talked about this idea, Rani called it a genius idea, there is no doubt that more and more wealth in the empire is in the hands of fewer and fewer people, these people are desperate to squander the wealth that ordinary people can hardly accumulate in their lifetime, if there are no more restrictions on them, this will enter a dead circle for a period of time - the rich squander their wealth to create a new group of capitalists, these new capitalists are not much different from the old capitalists, and even worse.

At the same time, these newly-born capitalists will be divided into two situations. The first is only in and out, and the second is in and out.

In many fields, such as cobblers, tailors and other craftsmen with considerable prestige, they mostly exist in the form of families or masters and apprentices, and this money goes into their pockets, and if they don't have to go out, it will form a redundant black hole of funds. These people are not like those big capitalists who start and build factories everywhere, create a lot of jobs and employ many workers, they don't hire many workers, they don't need to "feed" the society, and when the money in circulation is constantly decreasing, people will find that many things are not affordable.

The declining purchasing power has led to a passive deflation, a situation in which goods cannot be sold, and those who want to buy have little money to spend on shopping, so they have to keep their money in the Reich Central Bank. This kind of behavior seriously inhibits the productive forces of society and causes great damage to the overall economic structure.

As for the other group of new capitalists who have been created, they will continue to exploit the working class to save costs and sell their goods at higher prices.

On the one hand, the circulation of money is blocked due to passive deflation, and on the other hand, regional inflation is caused by the continuous rise of some prices. In the end, it will only be the civilians who will be unlucky, not the capitalists. So when Dühring proposed to cut the wool from these capitalists again, Lani immediately said that he could continue to follow Dühring's idea, improve the system of luxury tax, and then levy it on the whole society.

The two met at a horse farm on the outskirts of the imperial capital, where the northern aristocracy always called themselves elegant gentlemen, and they liked some gentlemen's sports, and polo was obviously one of them. Riding on a horse like a weapon, wielding a club, dismembering the opposing side's line in constant conflict and winning victory is an activity that every noble gentleman enjoys very much. There is an elegant side, and there is also a martial side.

Unfortunately, Durin didn't know how to play polo, and the two sat in a sealed stand outside the polo field near the edge, a weather that wasn't suitable for gentlemen to play polo themselves, but their players didn't need to think about it. Gambling, and sometimes very elegant, is also a very elegant game, especially if the participants are aristocrats.

"I've discussed the collection of the luxury tax several times with some tax experts, and now we have two plans!", Lani looked at Durin, who was listening carefully, looked left and right and whispered, "The first plan is to collect 35% of the price of the item, no matter who pays for it, as long as we sell one piece, we must get this tax." ”

"The second option is two-way collection, we divide the luxury tax into two parts, the luxury tax and the enjoyment tax, the proportion of which is not less than 20%, and the buyer and seller make up for it. ”

"Which option do you think is better?"

Durin shook his head, "I'm sorry, Lani, but to be precise, both of these plans are very poor...... Don't look at me like that, I'll tell you why!", Durin took a sip of hot coffee from his cup, he took two pills from the sugar jar and threw them in, "All the plans, no matter what the content is, there is no plan to implement them at the moment, because you can't prove the existence of a commodity, and you can't be sure of the price of a commodity, maybe they are just gifts?"

Lani pursed his lips and nodded, he had thought about it too, and he didn't think it was a big problem. At present, the vast majority of the big capitalists are of aristocratic origin, and these aristocrats, no matter what they are doing now, they will abide by the upbringing that the aristocracy should keep, and honesty is one of them. If they can talk about the Imperial Diet to legislate, then this matter is completely fine, and they will take the initiative to pay taxes.

However, he also wanted to hear how Durin solved this problem, both the Empire and the Federation actually had the same troubles.

Du Lin smiled and said a word, a very unfamiliar word, "Invoice!"

"Invoice?", Madur recalled, recalling that there was no such unfamiliar word in the vocabulary he had come into contact with, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is an invoice?"

Durin laughed, "Good thing!"

Mags wanted to turn Durin into a knife, and Durin wanted Mags to be a knife to completely destroy the "aristocracy".

He and Lani explained in detail the benefits of the "invoice" and its practical significance, and Lani's eyes widened, and there was no doubt that once the invoice was passed in the Imperial Assembly, it must be the old party camp that will be the first to be impacted. This group of aristocrats intercepted the tax revenue through various means and became the nourishment of the old party, which is also the tax malpractice that the new party has always wanted to eradicate.

But the problem is that the old party is very "dedicated" in this respect, they are always able to make the account books look good, and they will also make false accounts for the big capitalists on their own turf for free, resulting in the annual tax revenue of each city may add up to hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and occasionally some cities have two or three million, which may be an accident. But if there is such a thing as invoices, even if it cannot put an end to this kind of behavior of the old party, it can still stab them in an important source of political funds.

At this time, Lani first considered the use of invoices for political struggles, and then the benefits of spreading to all aspects of society. The income of the capitalists has become a little more transparent, and at the same time, they can return a part of the funds to the bottom of the society through invoice subsidies, expand the support of the citizens at the bottom of the new party, and at the same time can use this way to make people ask for invoices when buying goods as much as possible.

This is Doolin's suggestion, according to the invoice or called the proof of sale or the proof of purchase, whatever it is, according to the type of purchase, the tax levy and the size of the amount, to provide a subsidy of 1/10,000 to 5%. It doesn't seem like a huge number, after all, the rebate is also small if the foundation is small, but it should be noted that consumption has inertia and continuity.

If a family spends 25 yuan a month on necessities, such as food, they can get a 5 percent subsidy. It's ten dollars in four months, and thirty yuan in a year, which is equivalent to an extra month's salary. This may not be a lot of money for an ordinary family, but it is also a sum of money that cannot be given up.

This can develop the habit of people asking for invoices, as for those big capitalists, the amount on the invoice is deducted from the tax to a certain extent, so that they can take the initiative to ask for invoices, once this mechanism can be successfully implemented, then it will bring huge benefits and improvements to taxes.

Lani's mind was full of follow-up ideas, and he felt that it was rewarding to talk to Dorin, because the ideas he provided always gave him too much inspiration.

After the two chatted for a while, Rani couldn't sit still, the new year began, and there was still a lot of new work to be done, and next week there was the first Imperial Diet of the year, and he needed to sort out a little thing to submit.

After inviting Lani to have a chance to play in Otis City, Durin left the Imperial Capital by car, and he may not have much time in Otis City, at most he will be transferred within this year. On the one hand, he provided the New Party with a lot of "ammunition" to attack the forces of capital, which had now seriously penetrated all aspects of the empire, and at the same time attacked the Old Party. He's done his job as a razor-sharp knife, so it's time for him to get back in the scabbard.

He has been mentally prepared for this for a long time, and he has been in the limelight a little too much recently, whether Maggs is trying to protect him or to suppress him, he will be transferred from Otis City as a "workout" for him, which is also his chance.

He now has a large amount of money in his hands, which will be an important asset for him to appear in front of people in another image, and he has been planning for this for a long time.

After the New Year, the city of Otis is as calm as a small village in the west, and the heavy snow cover hinders the arrival of tourists, which also gives everyone a very good rest. But Durin couldn't rest, because the eighth district of Illian City was completely completed, and as one of the largest investors, he needed to attend another completion ceremony.
