Chapter 414: Death and Taxation (2)
Wang Xuan's gaze swept over the person's face, and he continued to say in a deep voice: "First, taxes must be paid, and this is not negotiable. ”
As soon as Hua finished speaking, the people below immediately began to discuss, Wang Xuan snorted heavily, his voice was full of internal force, and everyone who was shocked was stunned, "This money will not be handed over to the imperial court!" ”
What?
If you don't hand it over to the court, you don't like it, so what is this money for?
Without waiting for everyone to continue thinking, Wang Xuan said again: "Zi once said: If you want to get rich, build roads first!" ”
"All this tax will be used to repair the roads in my Fujian Province, and all the official roads will be replaced with cement roads, which can be used by two four-wheeled carriages left and right!"
"This road is good, you can run a four-wheeled carriage, I don't think you can't imagine the meaning of this, at least a little, the original transportation of grain, from Tingzhou Mansion to Fuzhou Mansion, the road will consume two percent, if there is a cement road and four-wheeled carriage transportation, half of the consumption is completely enough, the same is true for other items, which can bring countless profits."
"Not only that, but the convenience of communication in various places and the increase in the flow of people will also skyrocket the various intangible profits that can be brought.
As soon as these words were said, all the heads of the families here were stunned for a while, of course everyone knew the benefits of building roads, after all, they were all heads of big families, and they still had this knowledge, otherwise, the government would not have to repair the official road.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Wang Xuan would use money in this aspect, everyone thought that ...... Wang Xuan still wants to be greedy!
Of course, to say that Wang Xuan doesn't make money is also a calf, the cement consumed by the road construction is not to be purchased from him, and when the time comes, Wang Xuan will still have to eat a big mouthful of meat.
"In addition to the official roads, we will also build roads to various large villages, so that I can use cement roads in all parts of Fujian."
In fact, it is good to build roads in ancient times, after all, even if it is a four-wheeled carriage, the maximum load does not exceed four tons, which is not so high for cement pavement, and in fact the construction cost is cheaper than the traditional way.
"After the road is built, the tax will also be used to repair water conservancy facilities, which is also to ensure that we in Fujian do not eat in the sky, and the protection is still your interests and income, don't, mother, take the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman."
"How could it be, how could I doubt Mr. Wuzhou."
"Of course, of course, we also support the collection of taxes!"
The loudest shouting is the people in the inland provinces, especially Tingzhou and Shaowu, they can feel the importance of transportation the most, and the coastal five provinces are actually not very profitable, in addition, there are some families with relatively little land, but more business, if there is really a cement road to communicate with the Quartet, their goods transportation costs will be lower, and the income will be higher.
At this time, it was divided into two factions among the people, and those who were not willing to contribute money at all were the minority, and even if they were angry, they did not dare to object, unless they wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Seven Great Families.
Just now, Wang Xuan specifically mentioned the Seven Great Families in his words, but he didn't remind everyone that if you are disobedient, you will be destroyed.
Seeing that he had achieved his expected goal, Wang Xuan continued: "Of course, I also know how much income you have on the land, and the tax law of the imperial court also has all kinds of inappropriateness, so we in Fujian need to be flexible." ”
Wang Xuan said this, everyone's hearts were raised, the tax law, the interests involved in a slight change are the interests of a few years, ten years or more, so everyone can't ignore it.
Wang Xuan raised his hand and pointed at everyone below, and said unceremoniously: "Don't blame me for speaking politely, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, let's not play any chat, those sophistry things are okay to deceive the emperor, if you want to tell me that, don't blame me for turning your face." ”
Poof, a sentence that doesn't make people laugh, this is too much of a market, where should it be said by a person of Wang Xuan's status, but ...... That's so special!
On weekdays, everyone quotes scriptures and classics, but they are just quibbles, and everyone knows what the facts are.
"Before, the imperial court's tax was 20 taxes per mu, and there were other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, in the future, we Fujian, all those messy harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be cancelled, and you don't give me a blind showdown, each mu is still 10 taxes and 1, but only silver is collected and no grain is collected."
As soon as Wang Xuan's voice fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, if it was really only twenty taxes on grain, then everyone would take out not much more than now, and if you put it carefully, there was really not much loss.
It has been like this in all dynasties, and the most annoying thing is all kinds of harsh taxes and labor, such as the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the next forty years, the three major sounds, the sound of the seedlings, and all kinds of additions are the heaviest.
"Of course, then again, don't put your mind on the tenants, you can tell you very clearly that once you start to develop Xiaoliuqiu in the future, there will definitely be a shortage of labor at that time, if you treat the tenants badly, and when the time comes, other people's families will be pulled away, then don't go around shouting grievances."
Haha, haha, anyone who was swept by Wang Xuan's gaze couldn't help but laugh dryly, it turned out that they thought so, and at this moment, they were pouted by Wang Xuan with a rod, so they were naturally embarrassed.
This is a very direct statement......
"After talking about the grain tax, let's talk about the commercial tax."
As soon as Wang Xuan changed the topic, he immediately made the hearts of these businessmen pinch up, and his intuition told them that it was not a good thing, while saying that he would collect taxes and build roads, and on the other hand, he would reduce the burden on agricultural taxes, and those who were handed over to the imperial court would not be reduced.
Looking around, Wang Xuan continued: "Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave everyone a policy of thirty taxes and one tax, and in order to protect the business environment persecuted by the Yuan Dynasty, many products are tax-free, but it has been two hundred years since this is done, it's time to change it, I don't care what happens elsewhere, in our Fujian!" ”
"The 15 taxes of commercial tax are taken together, 1 tax is 10 for some commodities, 1 tax is 1 for 10 taxes for seafood products, and 1 tax is 1 for 5 special commodities."
"What!"
"This ...... That's too high! ”
"No, absolutely not!"
Someone jumped up all of a sudden, these are all big families that are mainly engaged in business, and all of them are people who are deeply related to Wang Xuan, after all, it is unacceptable to change from no tax to fifteen taxes at once, not to mention that there are ten taxes and one five, it is too much.
This is equivalent to the fact that it used to be sold and earned without spending a penny, but now suddenly you have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver in taxes a year, and more than 100,000 taels, which is really unacceptable!
The venue suddenly made a fuss again, and those who were mainly land-based, who were still distressed just now, wanted to fight with Wang Xuan, but they were gloating.
After all, since ancient times, the main tax revenue has been grain tax, and everyone thought that they were going to lose a lot, where did they think ...... Hehe, it's a good feeling to watch the excitement.
Holding back laughter one by one, it was very hard to hold back.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and suddenly sawdust flew, and everyone's ears buzzed at once.
Wang Xuan smashed the table in front of him with one palm, his face became gloomy, and this anger immediately reminded people of who he was facing!
His status today was all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and in an instant, these people who were still jumping and jumping just now were immediately covered in cold sweat, and they wanted to give themselves a mouthful, why did they lose their minds and yell in front of this killing god.
"Damn, shout a fart, if you don't want to, get out of Lao Tzu!" Wang Xuan's eyes widened and he scolded directly, the one present was not the head of the family who was worth a lot of money, but he was scolded one by one and bowed his head and didn't dare to squeak, although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he really let them slam the door for the sake of face......
Hehe, it's actually good to be alive!
The Seven Great Families and the Tang King all dare to destroy the door, what more do they have, even if they have two heads, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cut off!
Those ordinary people may not know how ruthless this is, don't they know it, especially the families in Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, when Wang Xuan slaughtered the seven families and confiscated their bodies, so they visited the seven mansions.
Afterwards, these families were sent to check, especially these family heads, even if they were afraid, they went to the scene to see, any family head has a huge population, the mansion of the seven families is full of corpses, any one of them has been killed hundreds of people, and in the end, it is their families who collect the corpses of the seven families.
After all, there are too many corpses, what if there is a plague in the city!
Therefore, it is impossible to roll, and it is impossible to roll to death!
"When it comes to business, you guys are comparable to me?"
"You can't catch up with Lao Tzu when you all add up, and I have to pay the most taxes, you guys are a ball, what's wrong with ten taxes, if you don't want to do it, you can not do it, Lao Tzu forced you to do it!?"
"Even if you fucking sell a coal stove to the north, you can double the profit, what's the matter, collect more than eleven of you, who doesn't want to do it, stand up, don't buy from Lao Tzu in the future!"
"When Lao Tzu is the emperor's idiot, a clock produced by me here, shipped to Nanjing or Beijing, at least three times more profits, what's the matter, don't want to do it, don't want to do it, you say, return all the goods you ordered!"
"Why, when I can't sell it myself!"
Wang Xuan was so angry that he scolded these people like his grandson, but no one dared to squeak.
Everyone was just surprised just now, in fact, no one would do anything if they gave up the business channels in their hands, just like Wang Xuan said, it was a profitable business, not to mention anything else, even the cheapest cloth was shipped to the north for more than four points of profit, and even if it was collected eleven, there was a lot of profit.
The more these people know, the more they know that doing business, as long as there are good things and good channels, the profits are much more than farming.
