Section 641 Temple Reckoning (3)


After thinking about it, Liu Che felt that the vehicle and vessel tax and mining tax really had to be collected.

If this source of wealth is not opened, in the future, together with the war, the treasury will immediately run out of rats, and it will still be a hair But how to collect it depends on strategy.

To fight a war, the lecturer must be famous, to kill a person must be punished by the law, and there must naturally be a basis for collecting taxes.

As in war, taxation is such a thing, as long as the ruler wants to collect it, he can always think of an excuse.

Liu Che only thought about it slightly, and immediately thought of a wonderful excuse: "Emperor Zugao ordered the Jia people not to ride in clothes, and they were humiliated by heavy rent taxes."

This excuse is really lofty Although now among the people, there are almost no people and birds of this order.

Even in Chang'an City, there are many merchants who are comparable to the princes in pomp and circumstance, in broad daylight, in front of the officials, wearing high-grade Shu brocade, riding in a luxurious carriage decorated with gold and jade, and entering and leaving the market in a grand manner.

The Kanto side is even more exaggerated.

When a merchant traveled, he actually drove the way before, roaring hundreds of servants, making people almost think that a certain prince and king were inspecting the land However, Liu Bang's order is the ancestral system, and it is always right to adhere to the ancestral system.

Therefore, it is feasible to use this excuse to increase the vehicle and vessel tax and the mining tax.

It is also easy to pass at the court meeting.

But the problem is that Liu Che is worried that the people below will come randomly, levy and apportion.

Although it is said that there are provisions in the Han law: those who collect money without permission will be fined four taels, and the owner will be compensated for the debt However, in the 90s, the Celestial Empire still issued repeated orders that the peasants' burdens should not be increased Before the information age, before the people and the state could not use the fast and convenient Internet to supervise the bureaucracy, people loved to play how they wanted.

Even if a few unlucky eggs occasionally bump into the hands of the inspectors above, they will be fined four taels and drizzle.

What's more, to do this kind of thing. will always be a kitten and a puppy, and the real commander is a well-dressed moral gentleman who sits in a private room and looks like he does not eat the fireworks of the world.

So.

This policy must not end up being turned into a policy that harms the people.

After thinking about it, Liu Che felt that it was necessary to go to a starting point.

Just like the personal income tax of later generations, below a certain level, all taxes are exempted.

For example, there are only five horse-drawn carriages or ox carts.

Merchants with less than two merchant ships are exempt from paying taxes.

How to do it, or conduct an investigation to determine the threshold.

But you can't go wrong with that.

Restricting big businessmen and big landlords and supporting small and medium-sized businessmen and small and medium-sized landlords will always be Liu Che's constant strategy.

Through such a similar threshold, small and medium-sized businessmen are excluded, and the spearhead is directly aimed at big businessmen, which can also be conducive to social stability and river crabs.

Liu Che is convinced.

With a hundred guts from the scum below, they would never dare to extort tyranny from the big merchants.

In fact, if someone really eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to attack those big businessmen who eat people and don't spit out bones, then there is no need for Liu Che to make a move, and those big businessmen will naturally teach those insatiable guys to be people.

"I have to thank the little pig" Liu Che looked in the direction where his tenth brother lived and smiled.

Speaking of which, Liu Che's idea is based on the experience and lessons of Xiaozhu's failures in history.

Historically, Piggy in order to raise military expenses.

I've really lost all the discipline.

In history, Little Pig once issued an edict to levy vehicle and vessel tax and commercial tax, that is, the money for carriages and horses is calculated by one, and the merchant is calculated by two.

The ship is more than five zhang and counted; If the property is more than 2,000 yuan, it will be levied and calculated, and the income from renting and lending will be counted as 4,000 yuan.

This is the tax collection part of the famous Warning Decree policy.

But the scope of this tax increase is too large.

In addition to the three elders, the nobles of the eunuchs and the knights of the border army.

All other owners are required to pay taxes under this policy.

As a result, everyone saw it.

Although the big businessmen and big landlords suffered heavy casualties, the small and medium-sized landlords and small and medium-sized businessmen, who were the main components of the economy, were also affected.

According to historical records, when Bu Shi served as the prime minister of Qi in the Qi State, he saw with his own eyes that the once prosperous and lively Linzi market was depressed almost overnight, and the middle class in Linzi City was almost extinct, and there were displaced people everywhere who had nothing to do.

Liu Che didn't want such a thing to happen.

But who to send to do this?

Liu Che fell into distress again.

Obviously, among the current courtiers, there are very few people who are capable of doing this thing well, and those who are willing to throw away their discipline and do this thing regardless of their reputation are almost zero.

The feather-loving scholar class, as well as the cold liehou class, were absolutely unwilling to do this.

"You can only use newcomers," a name suddenly popped up in Liu Che's mind.

"Gongsun Hong" There is no better person to do this than Gongsun Hong This person's ability and skill, even in today's Han family politics, are rarely compared.

Liu Che is self-controlled, that is, Zhang Tang, Yan Yi and Ji Di are tied together, and it is estimated that they will be able to open five or five with Gongsun Hong.

Look at the things and double-faced behaviors that this thing has done in history, and you will know what a real villain is.

A real villain is naturally better than a hypocrite.

Moreover, Gongsun Hong is also the most famous incorruptible official in the Little Pig Dynasty.

Although he is known for his undisciplined and two-faced swords, his incorruptibility and ability are also obvious to all, and even his enemies Ji Di and Bu Shi cannot accuse him in this regard.

Gongsun Hong has been the prime minister for six years, with simple food and clothing, and no money to spare, and he has not even used the power in his hands to seek any benefits for his relatives, friends, teachers and friends.

In Liu Che's view, Gongsun Hong is about the same as Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty.

But he is more powerful than Yan Song.

You can attack his personal virtues, but Gongsun Hong's virtues are not lost Of course, none of this is the point.

For the ruler, private morality or something is a fart.

Especially the old Liu family.

The old Liu family is four generations up, and the founding emperor Liu Bang is still the hooligan leader of Pei County.

Liu Che has never vetoed a person because of morality or something.

Competence is the key.

And Gongsun Hong's ability, among the Wenchen of the Han Dynasty, is firmly in the top ten.

Actually, originally, Liu Che's best choice should be Sang Hongyang.

In history, Sang Hongyang once ordered his subordinates to go to the market to sell openly It's just that Sang Hong Yang hasn't been born yet, so he has to let Gongsun Hong reluctantly come up.

Liu Che felt that Gongsun Hong would definitely not refuse this appointment, and he would definitely be able to do things well.

The dignified and peaceful waiting, opened the first non-liehou of the Han Dynasty to take cloth as the prime minister, and died rightly, resisting and defeating all the people who used all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows against him Thinking like this, Liu Che turned his head to Wang Dao beside him, and ordered: "Go and check for me, go to the examination of the scholar Gongsun Hong, where is it now, the history of life can order him to enter the palace to see me."

"Nuo" Wang Dao nodded and left, and after a while, he came back again: "Your Majesty, the prime minister, Wei Wei, and Zhijinwu are asking to see you outside the palace."

"It came so fast" Liu Che was also quite surprised: "Immediately invite the three Aiqing into the palace" t1706231537:
