"Then raise taxes!" Zhao Zheng had no choice, threw away the account book, and said casually.

Yao Xing was instantly excited, and it was said in history that one of the main reasons why the people rose up to resist the tyrannical Qin was that the taxes of the Qin Dynasty were too heavy. took two out of three, and caught laborers to build the Great Wall, resulting in no man in the family who was bullied and suppressed by the officials, and life could not go on.

You can't let Zhao Zheng use that method.

"If you can't raise taxes, the people won't be able to live anymore! In the past few years, they have been fighting for years, and they have lost their houses and land at every turn, and they have just lived a stable life, and if you raise taxes, they will have no way to live. ”

In fact, the best thing to do is not where to get the money, but not to be too anxious to do those things. It takes a hundred years for people to do it, and he wants to do it in ten years, which is too difficult.

"I gave them the land, so that they didn't have to work under the squires and lease, and they paid taxes to me on the rent, so that I could build a more powerful Great Qin, wouldn't it?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled

He felt that the people should work together for Daqin, but he forgot that those people were not all his people now. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are still there, and what he does at this moment will be maliciously speculated and then infinitely magnified, and his bad reputation will not be washed away for many years!

"This matter is in a hurry, I have to wait for a year, accumulate some cement, and start construction after the money. You pay the workers, you are a rich country and a strong people, and if you don't pay your salary, it is called expropriation! Yaoxing tried to reason with him

Zhao Zheng calculated the time: "Then postpone it for a few months, and wait until the autumn harvest is finalized." You also urge the kiln to make cement faster, so that they don't make mistakes. ”

Originally, factories and kilns were large taxpayers, but Zhao Zheng never gave money for the cement and red bricks used, resulting in factories and kilns not making profits for a long time, and it was difficult to pay salaries, not to mention paying taxes.

It is good to wait until after the autumn harvest, at least after the autumn harvest, some taxes can be collected, so that those laborers will not work in vain.

Yaoxing still has to think of a way, how to make the treasury fuller! In fact, Daqin's treasury income is not low, but it is too much to spend. Now the treasury is left with rare ornaments, which cannot be eaten or drunk......

"Think of a way to get those big merchants to pay?" Yao Xing had a whim and made a suggestion.

"Why are they paying for this?" Zhao Zheng is still sensible, and he still knows that he has to find a way, and he can't rob it.

Yaoxing: "Think of a way to make them pay willingly." ”

The first thing Zhao Zheng thought of was to divide the seal, and this was what those businessmen could care about, but absolutely not.

"In addition to the fact that the land cannot be moved, I can give them some other benefits." This is Zhao Zheng's bottom line.

Yaoxing thought for a moment, and suddenly hooked her lips and smiled.

"Imperial businessman, appointed by His Majesty to do business on behalf of the royal family, will the people buy it more?"

Zhao Zheng still couldn't understand what this imperial merchant was, frowned slightly, and didn't give an answer. Yaoxing organized the language again, and felt that this move was very good, so he said:

"If the imperial merchant is given some merchant privileges, such as using their goods in the palace, will the people think their things are good and buy more things in his house?

For example, you can trade in the grassland and get the protection of the imperial court...... It's some conveniences that make them more profitable and have a higher social status, are they willing to pay some price to get the name of this imperial merchant? ”

Yaoxing was already trying his best to explain, but as he spoke, he began to be stupid again, but fortunately, Zhao Zheng had already understood.
