Chapter 339 If you want the country to be rich and the people strong, you must have complete tax support
"Then order the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to strictly investigate and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"To prevent the occurrence of the situation of enriching one's own pockets, violators will be punished heavily, and the beginning must be opened."
"Well, I won't dwell too much on that."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Hear that.
Zhu Biao subconsciously held his breath and recognized Lin Che's concerns.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you can't set an example, it will only get more and more chaotic over time.
There is no doubt about it.
"The second step is to reform and optimize the existing tax payment methods of Daming and fundamentally solve the problems existing in Daming."
After a pause, Lin Che continued:
"Your so-called reforms are simply covering your ears and stealing bells to deceive yourself."
"The method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is definitely not advisable, and the Ming Dynasty does not need the false prosperity of the Song Dynasty."
"If you want to change it, then change it big."
"Otherwise, the court will toss and turn, and it will be the common people who will suffer."
As soon as this statement came out.
Not only Zhu Biao on this side gasped, but even Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side was taken aback.
Reform and optimize the existing tax payment methods?
This? What can be done about this?
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lesson of the demise of the previous dynasty, and had a deep understanding and hatred of the 'tax system' pursued by the former Yuan Tatars.
Since then, it has been announced that it will no longer 'include taxes', but will use the imperial court to send people to verify, and then ask for taxes, fearing that the tragedy will happen again.
Why has it become self-deception and stealing the bell?
However, before he was unconvinced, Lin Che's next sentence made him fall into an ice cellar:
"In the tenth year of Yuan Taizong, the tax package system began to rise in the country."
"There are taxes on lakes, bridges, and ferries in the world, and there are taxes on wine in the eyes."
"What's more, there are people who want to pay one million taels of silver to cover the salt tax of the world."
"Horizontal expansion into the service sector, vertical expansion of the business catalog."
Looking at the stunned Zhu Biao, Lin Che cut the railroad to the fore:
"Different from the 'commercial package system' of the Song Dynasty, the former Yuan Dynasty did not carry out any optimization, and the tax items reduced by the previous Han Dynasty were reused."
"History has been reversed, and the oppression of ordinary people by local forces has increased."
"The collusion between officials and businessmen, most of the tax-inclusive businessmen are local tyrants, and they no longer collect taxes according to the law after filing taxes, and arbitrarily raise taxes for extortion, which once again increases the burden on the people and seriously affects the normal life of the people."
"When you Lao Tzu becomes the emperor, I can only say that what he thinks is quite beautiful, and he naively thinks that sending someone to investigate and verify and then pay taxes will allow the country to get out of the predicament."
Lin Che's eyes shot away, and he sneered:
"The top level thinks that the lower level is not implementing the tax package system, but the lower level is implementing the tax package system."
"The reason why the imperial power does not go to the countryside, I don't need to say more, right?"
"The people are suffering and chaotic."
"Can you see it in the huge deep palace?"
"If such a ridiculous tax collection system is not changed, the Ming Dynasty has no hope, and the people have no hope."
The words fell.
Silent.
After Lin Che finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
It seems seamless, but it doesn't work.
If someone had been sent to verify it, how could a scandal like the 'empty seal case' have erupted?
In the final analysis, no matter how good the acupuncture is, it needs someone to carry it out, and no matter how wise the move is, it will be ridiculous for the thief to carry it out.
Asking officials all over the world to support the people with the noble and noble saints is nothing more than a fool's dream, and it is even more unrealistic.
It's not the imperial power Bu Xiaxiang, but the imperial power can't go down.
The emperor is just a mortal body, how can he do everything.
With that in mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was unhappy, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"What Mr. Lin said is extremely true, we think things are too simple, although the holy decree is written like that, but the implementation of the local area has long been unrecognizable."
"Divorced from the rule of law, replaced by the rule of man."
"We seem to have turned back the clock on history, we don't have a complete tax system, and we rely entirely on the results of individual investigations."
"Those dog things don't care what the annual harvest is."
"Once you can't pay the tax, it will inevitably be compulsorily collected, or even secretly levy more for your own selfish interests."
"It's not fair to the common people."
"We're confused!"
In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's depression and self-blame, Queen Ma shook her head slightly, held his bear paw with her backhand, and comforted her softly:
"The emperor is not omniscient and omnipotent, and no one can jump out of the limitations of the times, isn't this what Mr. Lin taught you before?"
"Different times have different visions, and you don't have to be embarrassed by it."
"After all, you're not a saint who can see through time."
"Right?"
Hear that.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, stopped talking, and nodded helplessly.
Just when the couple was uneasy, the prince Zhu Biao on the other side was also full of melancholy.
There was little silence.
saw him suddenly get up and bow, and the loneliness in his words was about to overflow.
"Mr. Schelling is not stingy."
"Remember, student."
"So, how should the tax system be improved and optimized?"
"I hope Mr. Lin will give me advice."
As he spoke, Zhu Biao lowered his head slightly and buried his head deeper, adding:
"Thank you, students."
Looked at.
Lin Che waved his hand indifferently, signaling that the prince didn't need to be polite, and instead took a sip of tea, and said lightly:
"If you want to open an era of national prosperity and strong people, it is bound to be inseparable from a complete tax support."
"In other words, the financial power must be in the hands of the center, and although the emperors of later generations may not all be Ming monarchs, it is better than fattening the bureaucracy and the landlord class."
"If even the emperor has no money, the life of the common people will be even more difficult, and the country will fall apart and exist in name only."
"It's a very real thing."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes were fixed, his eyes were resolute, and he couldn't agree with Lin Che's point of view.
"If you want to understand the law of development of the national economy, you must understand its underlying system design, otherwise all reforms will be self-deception."
Lin Che Wan'er, straight to the point.
"The reason for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform is actually hidden in the avenue called 'law', going against the sky, not following the law, will inevitably be counterattacked."
"I've already talked about it, so I won't repeat it here, if you're interested, go back and do the research."
Breaking his sore shoulders, Lin Che said casually:
"The court has to divide the cake, make the cake, and..."
"Grab the cake."
As soon as this statement came out.
No matter that Zhu Biao on this side almost bit his tongue, even Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side was shocked.
Rob? How to rob?
Isn't that a struggle with the people for profit?
It has been proved countless times throughout the ages that the emperor will not end up with a good end if he robs the common people's things.
Even if the court is short of money, it can't be like this!
