After two days of simple preparations, Yang Pingwei and Feng Wenhan set off separately.

And Li Kang himself has some important things to deal with, but it is not so easy to leave.

For example, the 'cement avenue' that he never forgets, he has to discuss with Wang Dafu how to repair it, which to repair first, what is the budget, and how much cement is needed?

Another example is that Yu Wenkai pestered him all day long, wanting to legislate and formulate rules. Li Kang was annoyed, but this thing was really wanted sooner or later, and it was a good thing to stand up early, plus he was really entangled by Yu Wenkai, so Li Kang had to agree.

But it was only a preliminary outline, and a bunch of people quoted scriptures and argued for several days. In the end, Li Kang did not fulfill Yu Wenkai's wish, and did not first revise the "Criminal Law", which is most familiar to the common people, which stipulates crimes, criminal responsibility, and punishment, but decided to revise the "Tax Law" related to the government's money bag first.

For Li Kang, who loved the history of the Ming Dynasty the most in ancient Chinese history, the mess of cutting and untidy government finances at the end of the Ming Dynasty was really impressive, and Emperor Chongzhen's last self-hanging crooked neck tree was a wake-up call for every ruler.

Although Li Kang is still 108,000 miles away from the emperor, it does not prevent him from taking precautions - well, in fact, in his heart, he already has the intention of equating himself with the emperor, but now that the store has just opened, the scale is still small, and he has not shown it.

As for why he didn't revise the most important "Constitution", it was because he felt that it was a bit ridiculous to promulgate it now, and if it was written in a big way, 'private property is sacrosanct', or 'the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people', or 'the wind can enter, the rain can enter, and the king cannot enter' and other laws and regulations restricting imperial power, even if they are written, it is estimated that no one cares, and no one dares to take it seriously.

If it is written that 'the emperor is supreme,' or 'the whole world is not the king's land,' or that 'all the sun, moon, rivers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, scales, and armor belong to the emperor,' and so on, is it a bit too ugly? Although this is indeed the case in various dynasties and generations, there is no need to write it in black and white? It does not conform to the middle-of-the-road and introverted thinking of the Chinese people at all. Besides, since the emperor is supreme, it means that the emperor is above the law, so what do you mean by writing like this, aren't these regulations just taking off your pants and farting? People don't need you to admit it at all!

More importantly, except for Li Kang, no one else had the concept of the "Constitution," and there was no such thing in ancient times! Therefore, Li Kang naturally did not make trouble for himself.

Rao is like this, as far as Li Kang proposed a large number of taxes included in the "Tax Law", he was stunned by a small number of small partners, but he is also from a merchant family, and Li Kang is still clear about all kinds of taxes, what value-added tax, business tax, enterprise income tax, personal income tax, real estate tax, land tax, stamp duty, as well as his own brain-made agricultural tax, inheritance tax, movable property and real estate tax and the like......

If it weren't for Li Kang's face, it is estimated that Li Kang would have been sprayed into a sieve on the spot, at this moment in everyone's hearts, words like 'harsh government is fiercer than a tiger' were written for Li Kang, and there were four bright words on his head: shameless faint king!

In particular, his unfinished expression made Yu Wenkai blow his beard and stare at him, eager to hug his old fist, that is, he is a disciple of the gate lord who does not treat the common people as people, and he feels that he does not have Li Kang's heart black, and in all dynasties, no matter how chaotic the situation is, the orthodox dynasty has never had so many regular taxes! The same is true of the local warlords who have a distant view.

It's good to say that what kind of inheritance tax is obviously aimed at these powerful people or who are about to become powerful people, this is the pain of the skin. Therefore, all people have a clear heart, and they must be admonished to turn back and not let him go further and further down the wrong path of tyranny. 】

In fact, Li Kang also knows that it is inappropriate to copy everything rigidly, the so-called 'orange born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange', he originally threw out these is to gather the wisdom of everyone, and jointly discuss a "tax law" in line with the current environment, so he gladly accepted everyone's 'exhortation', and always maintained a smile and reasoned with everyone, never arrogant and domineering, which greatly changed the 'bad image' he had just established, and an enlightened and modest virtuous monarch returned to Li Kang, so that 'worry about the country and the people

The sages were very pleased.

Of course, the virtuous gentleman is the virtuous monarch, what should be fought for is still to be fought for, and the fight for face or something will be said later.

With Li Kang and others having a deep-seated friendly exchange, Yu Wenkai and others were slowly persuaded by Li Kang, and his theory of 'those who harm the people is not the official tax of the imperial court, but the locality, the officials, and the excesses of taxes' has been recognized by everyone, so under Li Kang's slogan of 'abolishing all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes', it is not unacceptable to have more positive taxes.

In the end, only 'what kind of positive tax should be collected' and 'how should various taxes be collected' have become the current issues, such as the inheritance tax is worth discussing, and the land tax and income tax, what kind of progressive system is actually engaged, this is obviously out of place, the lord is too stubborn!

Of course, not everyone is against it, there are many people who unconditionally support Li Kang, or just simply support Li Kang's tax concept, so the opposing views and the tearing war will inevitably follow, of course, Li Kang did not participate in the debate after this, just sat quietly on the sidelines, watching them spit flying, as a referee, the glorious and great profession of athletes should be done by others, the two are concurrent, but it is very hateful.

Unexpectedly, the two factions kept arguing, arguing until Yang and Feng left, and arguing until Li Kang gradually became impatient. So, Li Kang decisively stopped.

But when the two sides died down temporarily, it was already the third day after Yang and Feng set off.

Li Kang felt deeply exhausted, and secretly said in his heart: [Compared with the serious party struggle, this is just a small thing, not even a sesame seed, I really don't know how those emperors can withstand it. 】

Silently mourning in his heart for Emperor Huan of Han, Emperor Ling of Han, Tang Xianzong, Tang Wenzong, Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong, Mingshenzong, Ming Sizong and other bitter emperors who were mired in the quagmire of party strife for three seconds, Li Kang was even more convinced of the views he had held in the past: [Sure enough, the people and pigs should die, and a strong leader who suppresses everything is the truth and the future. 】

This inner confession fully exposes Li Kang's fanatical dictatorship/dictatorial heart.

All in all, in general, the freedom of speech that should be given has been given, and the noise is exhausted, and it is time for you to come out and make a final decision.

On the 112th day after the crossing, Li Kang finally established the basic framework of the "Tax Law", including the types of taxes to be collected (business tax, personal income tax, land use tax, stamp duty, movable and immovable property tax) and the method of taxation.
