Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes are a little unkind, the essence of collecting commercial taxes is to rob the rich and help the poor, what do you mean by taking our business as an example? Do you still want to rob us of our wealth?

Let's be cheeky and take the eighth-layer members of the glass business from your hands, and we haven't seen much silver yet, and you turn your head and want to rob our silver?

You're so bold, does your dad know?

Zhu Biaozheng pondered Lan Bin's words, and when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, realizing what Lan Bin meant, he couldn't cry or laugh, even if you think that the glass business and the soap business pay taxes and pay less, you don't have to be so straightforward!

To put it mildly, no?

Although my father slammed the door, he didn't regard wealth as his life, you can say it well, and he didn't agree. You're so straightforward, what does he think?

Lan Bin sneered: "Your Majesty, the minister is just giving an example..."

", what's the example? Why don't you take other businesses as an example, but our business as an example? You're trying to rob us of our money!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Lan Bin secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and saw that although he was angry, he was not very angry. After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, the minister is not trying to rob the emperor's silver, the minister just thinks that profiteering businesses like glass and soap should be taxed heavily."

As he spoke, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face had changed, and immediately changed his words: "Moreover, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and even if the glass business pays heavy taxes, for the emperor, it is only a left-handed hand-to-right-handed. But by doing so, we can set an example for merchants all over the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face improved a lot, but he knew that Lan Bin was thinking about his money, but he was helpless, so he could only stare at Lan Bin, and after expressing his dissatisfaction, he said, "Count it as you can say, continue!"

"To sum up, the minister believes that the commercial tax collection method needs to formulate different tax rates for merchants with different profits. Profiteering business, heavy taxes, one out of ten, or even one for five!"

Lan Bin smiled unnaturally, and said, "And low-profit businesses, less tax, or tax exemption!"

"Cousin, isn't your heavy tax too heavy?" Zhu Biao was taken aback by Lan Bin's heavy tax, and when Lan Bin finished speaking, he couldn't help but say.

What is the concept of ten taxes and one five?

It is equivalent to a merchant earning a hundred taels of silver, and he has to pay a tax of ten taels of silver, or even fifty taels of silver.

With such a heavy tax, which merchants can agree?

Don't you be afraid that those merchants who are forced will not survive and rebel?

Lan Bin shook his head: "Cousin, this heavy tax is not heavy at all. If you think about it, those merchants who do profiteering business earn a hundred taels, and they are taxed according to the highest tax rate, five taxes and one tax."

"If you pay fifty taels of business tax, you will still have a profit of fifty taels."

"Count the people of the Ming Dynasty, how many people can earn fifty taels all year round?"

"This..." Zhu Biao was asked, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty have been busy for a year, and after deducting all kinds of expenses, it is good to be able to see the silver. Where can you find fifty taels of silver?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly: "That is, those businessmen who do profiteering business earn silver, and many ordinary people can't earn it for a lifetime, let alone a year."

"The heavy tax you mentioned, we think it's feasible!"

"But we have a question, are you willing to pay such a heavy tax?"

"Willing to do it!" Lan Bin said without hesitation.

Just kidding, the business in his hands is dominated by the royal family.

No matter how much tax is paid, it is the royal family that loses the most. If Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to pay taxes, what opinion can he have?

Besides, the profiteering industry does not levy heavy taxes, so what is the point of commercial taxes?

Do you continue to allow those businessmen to accumulate wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, and then encroach on the officialdom step by step and dig into the corners of the Ming Dynasty?
