36 There are many difficulties
He took out a written report and handed it to Shen San to ask.
Written on the cover are four words, "Tax Reform".
"Isn't this more appropriate for the princess?" Shen Sanwen didn't look at it, but he already knew what you wrote.
Cui Xuan said, "You take a look first, just to show you if there is a problem, and you can't decide, I will definitely show it to others." ”
"Okay, then." Shen Sanwen thought about it and nodded.
If he doesn't look at it, who else can guide Cui Xuan in this matter in this big week?
The Turkic tax system is already a simplified version, and Cui Xuan is a simplified version of the simplified version.
Because the Turks used to be nomadic people, many things were easy to arrange, and the tax reform of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been formed for thousands of years, and many of them are formulated according to reality.
"Have you thought about it?" Shen San asked to confirm it.
"Yes."
"Do you still feel anything? What about the Turks? Shen San asked again.
Many Turks are indeed much happier than the Great Zhou people now, but everyone is very nostalgic for their hometown, and the place they remember for the longest time will be the one that people like the most.
If it weren't for the good temptation conditions, most people would choose to transform their hometown, or adapt to the rules.
Cui Xuan chose to change.
With so many reforms done together, Shen Sanwen is really a little worried that the entire social system will collapse.
Some fear education reform, some fear tax reform, and offend the landlords, who now have vested interests.
Together, they are no small force.
Shen Sanwen thought about this, but not now.
Cui Xuan is willing to do this, and with his full help, it may be much easier.
I don't know when it began, but the communication between the two people became very concise, as if they could understand what the other person said.
There are some invisible barriers.
Maybe it started when Shen Sanwen had that dream and saw another strong Cui Xuan.
Although it was confirmed several times that the change was not happening now, he didn't like that kind of relationship and didn't want to see such a best friend.
If we can really fight together, we will be able to clear up these misunderstandings.
Cui Xuan went to deal with his own affairs, and Shen San asked to open his recital.
The first is the origin of the tax system.
At the beginning of the establishment of the state, the wealth of all the people was gathered and handed over to a small number of people who could afford to take care of and distribute it, and it acted on everyone, and slowly, the crowd was divided into those in power and ordinary people.
Those in power are constantly changing, and ordinary people are relatively stable.
Because of the selfishness of those in power, bad decisions, or changing social conditions, one day, ordinary people will not be able to survive, so they will again divide into small groups, and which part of the people who win elects a new person in power.
The goods they turn in are taxes.
It is used to solve problems that ordinary people can't solve, and to control the power that can help.
Shen Sanwen was surprised when he saw this exposition.
Not because he wrote about the origin and nature of taxation.
Rather, it is a change in his perception of the country.
Reading between the lines expresses a meaning, people come together for a better life.
There will always be someone who will hold the power, and it is not up to the majority to decide who holds it, but it is always those who can do it.
Not before.
In the past, like most scholars, he recognized that the monarchy was predestined.
That's how one progresses.
If he can influence the whole world, it will be a giant step for the entire human race.
Shen Sanwen continued to read.
The current state of taxation.
Everyone in the world seeks fairness, and in any field, the same effort will be equally rewarded, which is for fairness. The same is true of taxation, and the same people naturally desire equal responsibilities and enjoy the same rights.
However, the national tax has been hard for a long time.
Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Sui, all died in taxes.
Agriculture, the source of food and clothing. However, at dawn, there are thousands of hard labors, and there is no liberation.
Businessmen, who have been tired of it since ancient times, have been accumulating long-distance travel or ancestral industry, and they have gained it overnight, beyond the reach of all people.
The people and businesses are taxed together, and there is no great harm to business, but it is difficult for the people.
There is no greater injustice in the world than this.
Cui Xuan also gave an analysis.
Although the merchant has no choice in front of the officials, he can use his wealth to make friends with the officials, know a lot of information in advance, and avoid many disasters.
The peasants are a vulnerable group and can only rely on the state, and if the state imposes taxes on them to make it impossible for them to survive, then a country is in danger.
It is unfair for the merchants to take the main wealth from society without paying taxes, and these people have more wealth and more things that the state protects, while making the peasants bear the same responsibility.
In order to strengthen the country, it is necessary to levy a commercial tax, and at the same time ban the population tax, so as to take good care of the people.
More work, more pay, more income, more taxes. In this way, the wealth of society is balanced, so that the state has more money to support farmers, so that everyone can live well.
At this point, it can be said that it is a little too radical.
Shen Sanwen never mentioned the tax reform, just because it was too big, much bigger than the education reform.
No one would be happy to really take money out of people's pockets.
The farmers who have been exempted have no say.
So, we can only start with education.
If ordinary peasants can read and write, they can tell more people about their situation, or communicate the policies of different regions and compare them, and they will be able to understand the problems of officials.
Of course, the condition is that the school teaches this, and they learn it.
In addition, the imperial court should do things, and the real teaching policy should be conveyed, rather than stopping at the ears of officials.
As for the abolition of taxes, it is even more difficult.
None of the officials of the court would agree.
The Great Zhou is too big, and it is not easy to manage, and the policy that has been followed for thousands of years is easy to handle, and the peasants have also recognized it.
At this time, the cancellation will cause the income of the imperial court to drop sharply, the disposable income of the ministries will decrease, the departments may be paralyzed, and the people's hearts will panic, causing a chain reaction.
The new tax will be very resistant, and those businessmen will try their best to evade taxes and use more money to bribe officials to avoid taxes.
It's also cumbersome to regulate.
These taxes do not necessarily reach the central government, and may still be in the pockets of local officials.
Instead, it gave an excuse for them to get into trouble with the merchants.
For example, if the tax certificate is ten taxes and twenty, the magistrate must sell ten taxes and forty taxes, and there is no way.
Maybe these merchants will have to be grateful to Dade, thinking that the magistrate will not be able to sell.
In a small place like the Turks, which have a small autonomous population, it can go very smoothly, but in the Great Zhou, I am afraid that it will take another three or five years of struggle.
In the end, Cui Xuan also mentioned that these things should be done at the right time, so that these people can slowly accept these concepts.
Starting with education, it is very appropriate to cultivate these people's tax concepts and the habit of asking for vouchers, and when they grow up, there will be much less resistance to implementing these policies.
As for making small children radiate adults, this is impossible.
Cui Xuan's report, it seems that he really doesn't plan to present it to the princess, I'm afraid this will have to wait for Li He to grow up to deal with it.
