Chapter 864: Not-so-mature thoughts

"Because I still have my wife and children, relatives and friends, I have eaten this meal, and I have to prepare for our next meal and the next meal!"

"How is it, Your Highness, do you feel that my 'morality' is about to be exhausted?" Li Zijun asked the sixth prince with a smile.

"Don't force me, I'm afraid I'm going to strangle you!" the sixth prince let out a long sigh, and after that, he glared at Li Zijun fiercely.

"'Morality' is actually something that we only pay attention to when we have had enough to eat, and before that, we will only obey the 'command' of 'desire' most of the time!

"Now I really want to kill people! What about your 'system'? Is it possible for your 'system' to save all this?"

"Under the current social system, the 'system' can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause! But it should be able to slow down the collapse of the entire framework to a certain extent!"

"What do you mean?"

"Although our 'Emperor Majesty' will also be subject to some restrictions, on the whole, he is still above all the 'systems'! And this also means that the 'system' will be 'deformed' due to his mood or temporary decisions! Once this situation often occurs, the 'system' will become a pile of waste paper!"

"But as long as 'His Majesty the Emperor' alone has the final say, it is only a matter of time before the 'system' becomes waste paper, which is why I say that the 'system' can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause!"

"It's not 'His Majesty the Emperor' who has the final say, who else has the final say? There are thousands of families and one person in charge, if everyone has the final say. Isn't this country about to be chaotic immediately?" the sixth prince looked at Li Zijun with a puzzled face.

"'One person in charge' is right. He should not be allowed to be arbitrary, still less allowed to override all legal systems. That's the only way to go. Laws and systems can really play their role!"

"Of course, it's too early to say this, all kinds of conditions are not yet in place, and one-man dictatorship is a more suitable choice for us at this stage! We won't discuss this, let's turn back and talk about our 'system'!" Let a person living in the heyday of feudal society understand what 'democracy' is, it is indeed difficult for some strong people, Li Zijun smiled slightly, and quickly changed the topic.

"Since 'money is the root of all evil', then our first step is to deal with 'money'. ”

"Your Highness. What is your purpose in making money?" Li Zijun asked, turning his head to look at the sixth prince.

"It's not nonsense, of course 'making money' is for 'spending money'!"

"You're going to 'spend money'?"

"Stinky boy, what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I spend money on you because I'm willing to honor you!" Li Zijun shrank his neck and dodged the palm of the sixth prince.

"The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, the sixth prince, you can't bully me just because of the official!"

"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business!"

"Yes!" Li Zijun deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, and nodded helplessly:

"Actually, we have a bigger purpose in making money: retention! Admittedly, by 'retention', I don't just mean retaining money. This also includes property, antiques, gold, silver and jewellery, and all the precious items that hold their value!"

"Do you mean that they can't stay?" Hearing this, the sixth prince had already guessed Li Zijun's intentions.

"It doesn't seem easy, what are you going to do?"

"If I were the decision-maker. I mean, 'what if'"

"I see what you mean, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and move on!"

"First of all. I will **** the officials of a few representative core cities such as Nogan City!"

"****?Don't you want to 'clean up the corruption', how can they clean up the corruption if you ****?!"

"What I want is 'clean of corruption'. It's a matter of purging corruption, not of someone! It's a bit out of place to say 'somebody' now, Your Highness. Do you think that in Dongwoo's current environment, there are still people who may be innocent?"

"Think about it, even if all the embezzlers are arrested, who are we looking for to govern the country?"

What's more, they may not be willing to be tied up. Once they join forces to resist, our life will never be easy. ”

"Your Highness, our aim is to leave a clear sky for future generations in the most peaceful possible conditions! For this, we must make some sacrifices! Therefore, I say: Amnesty must be given! And it is urgent!"

"Then how can you guarantee that they will not continue to be corrupt in the future?"

"That's what I'm going to say next: release the property! including their property, their savings, and everything!"

"So how can you be sure they'll want you to tell the truth?"

"Your Highness, if someone tells you: your former gray income can also be placed in the sun. Will you still hide it and not report it?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't report it, I will send old craftsmen and those real estate merchants from other provinces to re-evaluate your property. Once your offer exceeds the range of the spread we have set for you, then sorry, amnesty is cancelled and we will re-examine your property!"

"At that time, I picked up the butcher's knife again, but I was afraid that there would not be much opposition. No mercy!"

"For officials of a certain rank, this audit is at least twice a year. The scope of the audit will also gradually expand, including what you ate, drank, used, bought, and even where you went during this time, you must report!"

"Sounds good, but it's not easy to do, right?"

"It's really difficult, so the range can't be too big. If it is according to my idea, I will include the main principal leaders of each executive department in the scope of mandatory inspection, and the deputy leaders in the scope of selection. Even if it is a selection check, within three years, or before the transfer, a comprehensive review must be conducted, without exception!"

"In this way, even if they have money, it is difficult for them to spend it smoothly and properly, and it is indeed possible to avoid the possibility of 'big greed' and 'big greed' to the greatest extent. It's just that the sixth prince's eyes suddenly darkened and he shook his head slightly.

"Your Highness, are you still unwilling to let go of those 'big greed'?"

"Watching the country's money being taken by them reasonably and legally for themselves, are you willing to do this?"

"Not reconciled! As things stand, do you have a better solution?"

"And what?" the sixth prince was ready to accept reality, but when he heard these two words, he immediately came to his senses again.

"Are you going to give them a hard time when you know their exact information?"

Since we have granted amnesty, we must grant amnesty to the end, unless someone ignores the law and continues to be corrupt. Otherwise, we have to do what we say, not only can't we deal with them because of the previous things, but we can't let these things become obstacles to their promotion path. I don't mean what you say!"

"And what do you mean?"

"If I were in power"

"I understand this assumption, you don't have to emphasize it to me every time!" the sixth prince glanced at Li Zijun and said with a little disdain.

"After the amnesty is implemented nationwide and the situation stabilizes, my next step is to pilot the property tax!"

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tax everyone's property rights, right?"

"Of course, you can't tax everyone, my idea is 'one person, one suite'!

"This is a good idea! According to my thoughts, this tax ratio might as well be set higher, and we must not let go of those bastards easily!" said the sixth prince with a little impatience.

"I'm a little bit different from you on this point, I'm more inclined to set it a little lower. Only in this way will they not sell the house because of 'heartache', and our side will 'flow for a long time'!"

"Or you kid is insidious! That's right, not only will this allow us to collect gold coins from them, but also avoid a large-scale sale of real estate that will lead to a rapid drop in housing prices!

"I don't have a quicker one, but a little faster, I still have one or two: the luxury tax is one of them!"

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Hearing this tax, the sixth prince couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, 'luxury' is taxable, but the 'luxury' I mentioned is slightly different from what we usually understand of the term. ”

"In my opinion, if someone's single expenditure exceeds a certain percentage of his current income, then he is 'luxury'!

"Is your 'current period' 'month', 'quarter', or 'year'?"

"Monthly, quarterly, and yearly, what do you think?"

"If we have the chance, we might as well find a few places to try first, as we did before, and then decide which method is more suitable!"

"But I still have a question: Is your 'luxury tax' aimed at civilians?"

"Otherwise, there will be a large group of 'smart people' who will leave after receiving amnesty. We have to try to avoid that!"

"However, the income of civilians is uneven, and it is not easy to determine whether they have engaged in 'luxury' consumption with your previous method, right?"

In other words, those who earn more pay more, those who earn less pay less, and those who cannot earn money do not pay taxes!"

"I don't need to know exactly how much money each civilian makes, I just need to sort them out, find out the guy who ranks third, and use his income as a benchmark! But this is just a not-so-mature idea of mine at present, and the specific implementation plan will only be determined after a period of trial implementation! Are you still satisfied with my answer?" Li Zijun looked up at the sixth prince and asked with a smile. (To be continued.) )
