Chapter 16 Man-made Loss
How Shang Jun died is a question left over from history.
Ostensible death is what history books talk about.
Exploring the inner cause of death is that he offended the Duke of Qin, that is, the most powerful group of people in Qin.
But more people think that Shang Jun is an alternative self-judgement.
Because Shang Jun's last crime was rebellion and rebellion, and he died under the laws of Qin, so far, Qin's harsh laws are equivalent to sacrificing a feudal monarch, a prince of Qin, and a king of Qin.
And the reason why Shang Jun rebelled was because after he fled, he led his troops to attack the county seat, and then he was defeated and captured.
But how to say this point, Li Kuan only knows one problem, that is, the main war manipulator of the Qin State to recover Hexi and defeat the Wei State is Shang Ying.
Shang Ying's military ability crushes a large number of famous generals, will he have the problem of not being able to lead troops to fight a county seat?
No, it won't.
Generally speaking, Shang Ying was equivalent to his own death in the end, in order to strengthen the justice of the laws of the Qin State.
Let everyone see, even I, the creator, died under the law, are you afraid, do you dare to break the law?
Now Li Gang and Li Xiaogong said to Li Kuan together, have you forgotten how Shang Jun died, Li Kuan just wanted to say: "Two, how can I be compared with Shang Jun." ”
The words were full of helplessness, Li Kuan really felt that he was not qualified to touch the porcelain Shangjun, that was Shangjun.
Li Gang and Li Xiaogong glanced at each other, and the corners of Li Gang's mouth twitched and explained: "No, if you investigate the tax evasion to the end, you are qualified to touch the porcelain merchant." ”
"After all, it is not only businessmen who evade taxes, but also families, Manchu civil and military, and the lowest people."
"Everyone is evading taxes, if you kill a person in order to stop tax evasion, then I think you can not only touch the porcelain Shangjun, you are better than the Shangjun."
Li Kuan was stunned, are there so many tax evaders?
Li Xiaogong and Li Gang entered the courtyard and began to speak one by one.
"The business of the family, merchants, and court officials is basically the kind of business I am involved in, directly false data, false quantity of goods sold."
"If the people say it, they simply don't want to pay."
"And this thing is very easy to check, we all know the method you said, but the reason why we don't check it, or find a way to check it is here, I don't want to sacrifice myself."
Li Xiaogong said that the thief is helpless, this is something that everyone knows, but there is really no way.
Tax evasion is all over the country, everyone is trying to find a way to evade taxes, and they really don't know how to solve this problem.
Li Kuan was speechless when he heard this, you guys, are you waiting for this country to go bankrupt?
Li Gang seemed to see Li Kuan's thoughts, and explained awkwardly: "We don't want to just look at it and not solve it, but the question now is whether we should redress the grievances of the people or the country." ”
"Moreover, there is a specialization in the art industry, and this has to be solved by Fang Xuanling and others."
Li Kuan also understands Li Gang's thoughts, theoretically speaking, everyone is right to redress the grievances of the people, but now the people are also evading taxes.
It is not only the families who hide the population, but also the common people.
People living in mountainous areas do not pay taxes when they have children at home and do not go to work, and when their children get married and build new houses in the mountains and forests.
There are even some people who hide their children in temples, Taoist temples, and families.
Everyone is aware of the problem of tax evasion by these people, but how to solve it is a problem of the problem itself.
Li Kuan thought of the sharp decline in the population of the Tang Dynasty in history, and historians guessed that it was Li Shimin who took the initiative not to check the population and chose to hide the wealth from the people.
Moreover, it is recorded in history that the population explosion during the time of Emperor Wen of Sui was mainly due to Emperor Wen of Sui's cleaning up of hidden households, followed by forcing the people to live separately.
Of course, the hidden households that are mainly cleaned up are hidden by the people themselves, followed by the hidden families of the family, as for the situation mainly for the family, Li Kuan can only smile and not speak.
Li Kuan's thoughts returned, and after listening to the thoughts of the two, Li Kuan frowned and said: "My idea is very simple, I don't want to be an official, I just want to be an idler." ”
"Just like now, I can only work on a few tools, some messy ways to increase the yield of the land, to improve my reputation."
Li Xiaogong and Li Gang glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's helplessness, then you can't die.
You're going to die, and the two of us are very uneducated.
Li Kuan also guessed the impact of his actions on the two, smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Why don't I propose a solution that can solve the hidden household?" ”
Li Xiaogong and Li Gang looked at each other again, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, don't be dead.
"What can you do?"
The two decided to listen anyway.
Li Kuan looked at the helplessness in the eyes of the two, and explained with a smile: "Tempt it to benefit." ”
These four words are Li Kuan's methods.
Li Xiaogong and Li Gang were stunned, what kind of solution is this.
Li Kuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "We can open state-owned factories and mines, and issue jobs for wages, and give one post for each family." ”
"I believe that many of the people's hermits are willing to go to the local county office to register."
Ahh
This method is highly feasible, and it is conducive to improving the household registration system, which can help Datang manage, but he needs money?
And state-owned factories and mines, why can't we use labor to carry them out?
Li Kuancai doesn't care what they think, that's your problem.
The problem of hidden households left over from the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty must be solved, otherwise you will not be able to collect the money in a short time.
Li Gang still wrote down this method, and then asked another: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, how do you solve the problem of tax evasion by merchants, their commercial tax is also a problem, and now that you have finally got rid of the tax exemption in the law, how to solve the commercial tax?" ”
Li Kuan looked at the two of them, and after making sure that the two were indeed seriously inquiring, he explained with a smile: "You can take the form of a guarantee?" ”
"For example, if a caravan buys 30 stone of grain in County A, but he needs to transport it to County B for sale, as long as he pays 1 yuan as a guarantee at the county office, as long as he loses it, we will compensate him, and then we will collect taxes according to his guarantee."
"And how long has his goods not been sold, we can estimate whether they are still there according to the expiration date and check them."
Ah this, this answer shocked Li Xiaogong and Li Gang.
Is it a good result?
Yes.
"What if they're not afraid of losing their goods?"
Li Kuan looked at him with a smile, are you an idiot?
Don't you know how many bandits in Datang are thieves in their spare time and farmers in their busy hours?
And, don't you carry out artificial throwing?
