Chapter 12: The Lifeblood of the Economy

Before Pang He asked the people sent out by Hu Sanniang to inquire back, Huangfu Yinghua had already done what he needed to do, and the invited celebrities and businessmen basically participated, filling the best restaurants in Huaiyin City. Lu Shaoli was also among them, and after coming back that night, Lu Shaoli was a little excited, and went directly to Pang He's study, saw that Pang He was still planning there, and happily knocked on the door and said, "Brother Pang, Brother Pang!"

Pang He got up helplessly and went to open the door: "What's the matter, is it something that happened at night, it went well?"

Lu Shaoli nodded vigorously: "Well, you don't know, this restaurant is crowded, and the posts I sent out, they are basically here." ”

Pang He said: "It seems that the prestige of this Mr. Huangfu in Huaiyin is very high, and he can invite these people." So what did he say?"

Lu Shaoli said: "First of all, it is announced that he will manage Huaiyin City as the city lord of Huaiyin City, and the handover will be arranged by Lord Li, who was originally in charge of Huaiyin City. After that, for the future development of Huaiyin City, I communicated with the celebrities and businessmen in the restaurant, wrote some good suggestions in the booklet, and then slowly studied and discussed. ”

Pang He said: "It seems that things are indeed going well, what kind of suggestions have they put forward?"

Lu Shaoli replied: "They put forward a lot of suggestions, and most of them mentioned reducing taxes and some policy benefits. I see that although Mr. Huangfu said that he would consider it, few of them were written in the booklet. ”

Pang He said: "Taxation is the lifeblood of development, and reducing taxes will be a temporary benefit for businessmen, but it will definitely not be a long-term benefit." Taxation is the main source of management for the regime, and once there is no tax revenue, then the regime cannot function, leading to the collapse of the system. Proper taxation is beneficial to both parties, something that some people who focus only on immediate benefits do not see. They only know that they can make more money, but they don't know that the most basic thing to maintain their money is stability, if Huaiyin City is unstable, then the money you earn will become unreliable. That is to say, the money you earn today may also be robbed tomorrow, and it will not belong to you. ”

Lu Shaoli nodded: "Brother Pang, you are really insightful!"

Pang He said: "Actually, we only need to empathize with these things, and any transaction is based on the premise of obtaining benefits." If there is no profit in the transaction, then no one will do it. So, what you enjoy is basically not free, maybe, you will enjoy the free things for a while, but you can't enjoy it for a long time, until you find out that he is almost gone, then this is a sky-high price. People tend to take crazy seizures of free things, thinking that they must fight cheaply, and the more the better, but they don't know that ** is excessive. I don't think Mr. Huangfu will agree to their suggestion of reducing taxes. If a country wants to maintain its national body and national defense, it must have its own economic lifeline, and this economic lifeline is taxation. If it were me, I would propose one that would allow both parties to get better and more benefits. For example, how to increase the income of merchants, and at the same time as the income of merchants increases, then the taxes collected by the state will also increase, which is beneficial to both parties. How to increase the interests of businessmen, absolutely not out of taxes, yes, just increase the flow of trade, as long as the money flows, then the economy will develop better, will also attract the surrounding businessmen, drive more people to participate in it, to achieve the purpose of common prosperity. ”

Lu Shaoli nodded and said, "Brother Pang, you're right, but you know everything, why don't you say it?

Pang He smiled: "How can it be in vain? We have called so many people, and they are willing to come, which means that they are willing to contribute." When you see so many people, how will you react, seeing that so many people are coming, it means that you are also coming right, and it increases their willingness even more. Besides, so many people came, someone must have made a good suggestion, as the saying goes, three stinkers are the top Zhuge Liang, I think even if it is not good, I can always pick out a few good ones. Also, have you ever heard that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must gain a thousand thoughts? If we can bring them together, we will get more choices from them, and some of the suggestions may be prosaic, but when they are actually implemented, they may have good results. Speaking of which, have you seen some good advice written in that booklet. ”

Lu Shaoli lowered his head and looked a little embarrassed: "I listened to some of it, but most of it was not very reliable, so I ignored it, and I just glanced at the booklet, and basically didn't remember it." Anyway, Mr. Huangfu will come over to discuss with you, so let's not be in a hurry to know what is written in that booklet. ”

Pang He said: "Shaoli, I don't care about the booklet, you know, I care about you now." You must know that in officialdom, you must always be sober, such as this drinking party, you are negligent now, but this negligence is sometimes fatal. In life, sometimes, inadvertently, he is a feast, and in the future, no one knows what will happen to you. If you want to really mingle with officialdom, you have to be vigilant at all times and know everyone clearly. Tonight, in fact, you can know who is more capable, who has better advice, who can cooperate with each other, and that's just a matter of use, understand?"

Lu Shaoli nodded and said, "Brother Pang, I know, I won't do this in the future." ”

Pang He said: "I hope that today's words, you will not be angry. I didn't mean to lecture you, I think you have always aspired to be an official, he is different from business, you don't do business with me, we can not do it. ”

Lu Shaoli said: "Well, I know, Brother Dang is for my good, so I won't be angry." ”

Pang He said: "Well, it's good if you can understand, it's not too early, you can find some rest, and tomorrow you can help Mr. Huangfu sort out the booklet, if you can help, it's the best, you can also learn something." After tidying up, you can also come over with your husband. ”

Lu Shaoli said: "Well, okay, you should rest early!"

Pang He said: "Well, I'll tidy up here a little and sleep!"

After saying that, Su Ying and Hu Sanniang came over and asked Pang He to rest early. With an envious expression on Lu Shaoli's face, he sighed, how good it is to have a confidante, or two!
