Chapter 187: Stepping too big is easy to pull eggs(1/3)
"Just just your few moves, our Ming Dynasty would rather be poor than rich!"
Fang Shiyu's words came to an end, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran away!
What a fucking method?
This little bastard is really bold!
The business tax is increased as soon as you open your mouth!
If you little bastard don’t know the tax system of the Yuan Dynasty, then do you want me to tell you?
Although the Tartar court used this item, they did gain a lot of money from those merchants!
But the wool comes from the sheep, where do you think the silver comes from those merchants?
In the end, aren’t the poor people going to pay for it?
After I ascended the throne, I worked hard to reduce the commercial tax so much, and turned it into the thirty-one tax. It was not just because I looked down on that little money. The main reason was that I was afraid that the Yuan Dynasty would repeat the same mistakes, and those merchants once again reached out to the poor people!
Don’t I know what those bad businessmen do?
If the court adds a point to them, they will dare to pass it on to the poor people!
These lowly merchants, for the sake of profit, do whatever they want and use any means to sell the ropes used to hang them!
As for the second item, listen to that name!
Does it have a little bit of the taste of King Zhou of Shang?
A whip?
It is obvious that the people dare not pay taxes, or the taxes they pay are not enough, so they will just whip them!
I have created so many criminal laws, but it is not for the poor people. I have used them all for those corrupt officials!
If you bastard had only these solutions, then I would rather our Ming Dynasty be poor forever!
As long as the people live a good life, I don’t care!
"Mr. Fang, Xunzi said that the king is a boat; the common people are water. Water carries a boat, and water covers the boat."
"The demise of the Yuan Dynasty means that officials force the people to rebel! If the court pays heavy taxes, the people will sooner or later rise up!"
"How long has the Yuan Dynasty been destroyed? Does Mr. Fang hope to see that our Ming Dynasty will become the Yuan Dynasty? The people are displaced and cannot eat, and finally rise up, wars are everywhere, people are living in poverty, living beings are tragic, and corpses are floating for hundreds of miles?"
Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang leave rampantly, but Old Li also looked extremely puzzled at this time and couldn't help asking.
Although Lao Li is also a member of the cabinet, Zhu Yuanzhang did it on purpose, with the purpose of checking and balancing Wu Lin. Basically, he just had a name and had nothing to do on weekdays. Therefore, when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming to find Fang Shiyu, he immediately followed him happily.
But Old Li didn't expect how long it took to meet?
Mr. Fang once again annoyed His Majesty!
Your Majesty has gone wild. If he doesn’t agree, he will suffer the consequences!
"What Boss said makes sense!"
“What my uncle said makes sense!”
Two hundred and five in size immediately agreed.
At this time, they completely transformed into monk Sha in "Journey to the West", and they only had one sentence, that is, who is right, even if it is wrong, they must say he is right!
Only when the team stands right can life last forever!
"Don't worry, you'll make a conclusion after hearing Mr. Fang's statement! I feel that Mr. Fang will definitely not be aimless, and it must be his profound meaning."
But among the group, Lao Liu suddenly sang the opposite tune and stood on Fang Shiyu's side.
As the leader of the Ministry of Personnel, he had just taken office for a few days and encountered a shocking case like the Guo Huan case.
The Ministry of Personnel was so terrible at this time, with the arrests and the chops. The Ministry of Personnel, one of the six ministries, now only three people are left.
In addition to him, the Secretary of State, there are two ministers, three of them are looking at me every day, I look at him, and he looks at you again!
There were a few hairs on the other person's face, and they were almost counting!
After watching, Lao Liu felt that he was about to vomit!
Therefore, I am very happy to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to Fang Shiyu to get some good tea. Seeing Fang Shiyu pretending, no matter how he looks, it is much better than staying at the Ministry of Personnel to see the two bad old men!
But Old Liu didn't expect that this young master and His Majesty had different horoscopes?
Why did they start to fight each other as soon as they met?
If I don’t become a peacemaker, wouldn’t I have to go back to the Ministry of Personnel to count my hair before my butt was hot?
"Super shallow?"
"Old Zhu, I am too lazy to talk to you! I just praised you for a few words and said that you are much more calm, and your nature will be exposed immediately!"
"If you don't want your old face, I don't mind, but if you insist on pulling me to plaster your back, that would be too much!"
Fang Shiyu was not afraid at all and started to fight directly!
Old Zhutou is still so impatient!
Without even speaking, this old Zhu was anxious. Those who didn't know thought that the Emperor of Ming was you?
You said you are not Emperor Hongwu, why are you in a hurry?
The emperor is really not in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a
If you do this, how can I take you to Nanyang with confidence?
"Then you explain to me what you need to do to increase taxes while preventing those profiteers from passing these taxes onto the poor people?"
"Also, what do you mean by the whip you are talking about? Just serve the whip if you don't pay taxes?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still looked angry.
If this little bastard says something else, just fight it. Xiuying has advised me to not be as good as this little bastard when I am old.
But how many days has the Yuan Dynasty been destroyed?
The tax-keeping system of the Yuan Dynasty has caused a lot of harm to the people!
I have experienced it myself!
"I heard it clearly!"
Fang Shiyu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with a look of contempt.
This old Zhu came from the same place as His Majesty. As expected, he really cultivated people with the same land and land, and even his temper and personality are so similar!
"First point, you made a common sense mistake! That is, the merchant's pricing strategy for goods has nothing to do with the level of tax you collect, and it will not depend on this!"
"They will not raise prices because the court's taxes are low, and on the contrary, they will not raise prices because the court's taxes are high!"
"On the contrary, because the court's tax revenue was too low, their profits were higher, and those huge profits were all taken over by merchants."
"So, raising the commercial tax will lead to a part of the profits that will be added to the treasury of the court!"
"The court can take it from the people and use it for the people!"
Fang Shiyu explained lightly.
Of course, when the taxes become higher, the prices of goods will naturally increase. This is the market rule!
But if the tax is low, even if you don’t charge any tax, merchants will still raise prices for those intimidating goods.
During the Hongwu period, this tax system was extremely low no matter which dynasty it was.
However, the arrival of the Little Ice Age has led to the unscrupulous merchants hoarding themselves, especially the food, and the prices have skyrocketed. When cutting the leeks of ordinary people, they are not ruthless at all!
For capitalists, no matter which era they are placed in, they have no conscience!
Look at Pan Paopao, let alone conscience, their family doesn’t even want to have a face, so they cash out and run away!
Look at Lao Li in Hong Kong, the only one in the world, invented the common area. If Pan Paopau family is shameless, Lao Li will just expose his butt as a face, cash out, run away, transfer assets, etc., and can be directly nailed to the pillar of shame in China that will never turn over!
During the Little Ice River Age, those unscrupulous merchants thought that the tax revenue of the imperial court was so low, and the purpose was to prevent them from raising prices and treating the people well?
In the eyes of capitalists, how much does a pound of conscience cost?
Dogs don't want something, they only have money in their eyes!
So they are not even as good as dogs!
Fang Shiyu finished speaking, and Lao Liu nodded the first time.
Emperor Hongwu can do anything, but he just underestimated the nature of merchants to pursue profits!
"Mr. Fang, the Ming Dynasty has just been in the tenth year of its founding. During the founding periods of dynasties, it was light on labor and taxes! Only then can the people not be exploited and live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Your Majesty is concerned about the people in the world. Not only is the business tax extremely low, but the tax on the tax has been cancelled directly! Why did you have to regain bad habits when you reach Young Master Fang's mouth?"
Lao Li still looked puzzled and refuted firmly.
There is no way, the tax system of the Ming Dynasty was finally finalized after being with His Majesty for countless nights!
If you follow Mr. Fang’s words, wouldn’t your Majesty and Old Li be slapped in the face together?
What's more, this was finalized only by referring to the tax systems of all dynasties.
To be continued...
