Chapter 958 Solve the tax problem first

"Why is that?" Fusu asked.

Qin An replied: "There are two reasons for this, one is to investigate the official's background and whether the net worth is innocent.

The second thing is to prevent crime from happening.

I don't need to explain the innocence of the net worth. To prevent crime, in the future, there will be more and more scholars, and more and more people will participate in the imperial examination.

After participating in the imperial examination, you want to become an official, then we have to investigate the situation of at least three generations in your family.

If you were a kid with hope for high school, would you still go to crime? ”

Fusu shook his head and said, "No, even if I suffer more, I won't dare to sin." ”

"That's it." Qin An said, "Originally, it was a very small matter for two people to fight, but one party did not give up, so it ended up being a criminal case, and then both parties would leave a criminal record."

This case will become a murderer who will affect the child's future.

Therefore, under the interference of the government, generally fights and brawls as long as they are not too serious. We'll all ask them to settle it privately.

Of course, if there is a bad impact, then the matter is not allowed to be resolved privately, and the government needs to deal with it severely.

Anyway, you just need to know that for the sake of your offspring, the crime rate will be greatly reduced.

In addition to these few things, there are many shortcomings, which need to be understood slowly.

In a word, you need to see more and walk more.

While your father-in-law is still there, as the crown prince, you can walk the world, find all kinds of problems, and then summarize the problems and then think of solutions. ”

Ying Zheng said: "This is a good idea, this is a completely different concept from the trip to the Mauryan Dynasty, and the things learned are completely different."

Fusu, rest for a while, and then you can go to walk the world. You don't have to bring too many people. It is enough to have one person who serves you and one person who protects you. ”

"No." Fusu agreed.

He is a very studious person, otherwise Confucianism would not be so fine, and what is beneficial to the country, Fusu wants to learn more.

Therefore, Yingzheng asked him to walk the world now, and he gladly accepted it, and even wished that he could walk the world now.

Ying Zheng looked at Qin An and said, "Since you have found so many problems, what do you think is the first problem to be solved?" ”

"Officials' Fortunes." Qin An said.

"Why is that?" Fusu asked.

Ying Zheng on the dragon chair said a little speechlessly: "You are really stupid, you still don't know such a simple truth?" ”

"Father, son-in-law just don't understand." Fusu said, his expression was a matter of course.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng looked at Qin An helplessly and said, "It seems that he still can't do it, Qin An, can't you let him be a qualified Qin II?" ”

Qin An said: "It's already very good, just ask if you don't understand, at least it's much better than pretending to understand if you don't understand."

However, Fusu, it's okay if you don't understand, but you can't just listen to one person's answer, listen to other people's answers, especially the people's answers. ”

Fusu nodded and said, "Thank you for your teachings, but I still don't understand why the official's fortune is put in the first place." ”

Qin An smiled: "Because it's simple." ”

"Just because of this ......" Fusu looked at Qin An incredulously.

Qin An smiled and said, "That's right, that's it, it's just that you're thinking too complicated." But you should also think about the complexity, which increases the official's fortune seems simple, but there are a lot of entanglements of interests in the middle. ”

"Please tell me one by one."

Qin An nodded and said, "First of all, to increase the number of officials, you need money from the imperial court, and it is a lot of money, but where does this money come from?"

Taxes, the taxes of the imperial court can satisfy the income of the officials.

Therefore, the first network to increase the wealth of officials is taxation.

There are many types of taxes, such as commercial tax, agricultural tax, and so on.

What I want to talk about here is the commercial tax, and now the main tax of Daqin is the commercial tax, and the treasury has so many silver taels because of the collection of commercial taxes.

But if you look closely, you find that many people hide their taxes, which is called tax evasion.

We have to find a way to find out the businessmen who evade taxes, and after finding out, we have to make them make up for it, and of course, we also need to pay fines. ”

"What if they won't?" Fusu asked.

"How dare they not give a businessman, it is the people behind them who dare not to give, these people may be nobles, or they may be court officials, or even relatives of the emperor." Qin An said.

"Since the gentleman knows everything, what should I do in the face of them?" Fusu asked.

"People who are willing to pay taxes and fines, we act as if nothing happened.

But in the face of those who refuse to do anything, there is only one word, kill.

Under the rolling heads, I am afraid that no one will dare to evade taxes again. At the same time, the imperial court set up an anti-corruption department, which was responsible for corruption and bribery of officials, businessmen and other positions in the world.

However, under normal circumstances, investigations are conducted against officials and things that endanger the state, and as for the private sector, it is better to turn a blind eye.

But if something happens that harms the country or disrupts the market, then it must be investigated. ”

"So, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world?" Fusu was taken aback.

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said, "Not bad." You can think that this will cause chaos in the world, which shows that you want to be a good emperor very hard. ”

"Father, sir, this matter must not be done, in this way, it is not against all the officials in the world.

At that time, the world will not be in chaos. Fusu said nervously.

He doesn't want to be the emperor before he becomes the emperor, and the country will be in chaos, he doesn't want to be the emperor who dies in the second generation.

Qin An smiled: "Although you can rest assured, there will be chaos, but the world will not be chaotic." Don't forget, I prepared it beforehand. ”

"What preparation?" Fusu asked.

Qin An covered his forehead and was completely speechless.

"You forget, I have carried out a major reform of the army, and now the soldiers of the whole country are committed to serving the country.

It fully shows that they are loyal to the monarch and patriotism, serve the people, and everything they do is for Daqin.

Anyone who wants to make a soldier do something that endangers Great Qin and endangers the people, they will directly tie him up and hand him over to the imperial court.

Therefore, even if those nobles will cause rebellion, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the imperial court in the end.

As long as a group of people die, then the group of people who are alive will obediently pay taxes, and the court will be able to control the real taxes in the future.

At that time, the state will have endless money, and with money, it will be possible to increase the income of court officials. ”

Fusu suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that Mr. has already arranged it." Father, do you know about this? ”

"Of course I know, otherwise how could I agree?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
