Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

what?

You can't be the master?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Baiguan was taken aback immediately.

What do you mean?

You can't be the master of your own affairs?

Are you a bit reluctant to sell?

"Marquis Chang'an, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty."

Feng Zheng laughed, "Before this, I didn't do business, so I didn't touch the tax in Qin law. Now, if I become a business, how much tax would I have to pay?"

[That's right, I didn't have to pay taxes before, but now you let me be a businessman, so don't I have to pay taxes? 】

[You have to tell me about this matter, if you don't say it well, or if you pay a huge tax, wouldn't it be a big loss for me? 】

[Although it is to help Lao Zhao absorb some powerful blood, but you have to save me some! 】

Hiss?

tax?

After Ying Zheng heard this, his heart moved.

It's true, this kid didn't need to pay taxes before.

However, if you start doing business in an upright manner from now on, wouldn't you have to pay taxes?

It's not cheap anymore, no wonder he's still so unhappy.

Pay taxes?

Yup!

Feng Quji's heart suddenly moved. If you are a businessman, how can you not pay taxes?

Tens of millions of money in a few days without paying taxes, who can bear it?

"Your Majesty, this tax is clearly stipulated in the Qin law."

Feng Quji stepped forward and said, "Since Your Majesty has approved the Marquis of Chang'an to do business, it is natural that the law shall prevail."

[Damn it, I knew you would say that. 】

Feng Zheng smiled, and said unhurriedly, "What uncle said is that after I go back, I will study the law carefully and know it well, and after the reform of the food street is completed, I will start paying taxes immediately."

[Yes, just wait, wait slowly. 】

Feng Zhengxin said, "Ma Madi, according to the Qin law, the Daqin commercial tax base is two out of a hundred, but the grain tax is not high according to the basic regulations. If you add all of them, how much will you end up with?" 】

[Instead of this, it is better to give a clear standard, otherwise, there will not be much left for me in the end, so why should I bother? 】

Hearing Feng Zheng's voice, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

This is...

This kid's worry is not unreasonable.

After all, according to the laws of Qin, the basic taxation of Daqin is really not much.

but!

At the end of each tax collection clause, there is such a clause that the imperial court can levy some additional taxes on its own whenever there are major national events and military activities.

Therefore, what was actually collected must be more than the law, and much more.

In a word, the highest right of interpretation rests with me.

After the officials heard it, they immediately looked at me and I looked at you, and they all froze for a moment, with playful expressions on their faces.

Feng Zheng's meaning is also very clear. If you charge me a high tax, then I will procrastinate, procrastinate to death, do you think I will pay it?

Moreover, once this product is done like this, it is estimated that everyone will have nothing to eat again.

"and……"

Looking at the crowd, Feng Zheng chuckled, and said unhurriedly, "In the future, everyone will either do business for the imperial court, or run their own business, but I don't know, are you also satisfied with the collection standards of the Qin Law?"

Hiss?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone's expressions froze, and their hearts were shocked!

What the fuck?

Yup!

In the future, if it is like Qin Lu said, wouldn't he also be the one to be slaughtered?

How did you forget about this?

Chapter 216 Public-private partnership?public-private partnership

Thinking that if they want to operate in Japan in the future, they will also be deducted a lot of taxes, and these powerful people immediately feel very uncomfortable.

It’s okay to let others bleed, but how can you let my own blood do it?

"If your lords have no objections, then this Qin law will remain unchanged."

Feng Zheng looked at the expressions of the crowd, raised the corner of his mouth, spread his hands and said, "Whatever I pay, everyone will also pay, what do you think?

At present, Daqin is suppressing merchants, and the actual merchants' taxes are nearly ten to nine out of ten. It's not that I can't pay them, but in the future, you can bear it, as long as you can bear it! "

hiss...

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Nine out of ten, how many? !

After that, most of the profits were sent to the treasury, so I didn't have much left!

It is enough to exploit ordinary merchants and common people, but we are aristocrats!

Thinking of this, the rich and powerful felt even more uncomfortable.

"His Majesty……"

A dignitary hesitated for a while, and immediately said, "My minister thinks that since the imperial court conducts business, it is really inappropriate to follow the previous laws..."

kindness?

Hearing someone's voice, Feng Zheng was immediately happy.

[This group of dignitaries, just now had nothing to do with themselves, if they involved themselves, they would know the pain right away. 】

[Cut the flesh, can it not hurt?It's good for me if you hurt me. 】

Ah……

Hearing Feng Zheng's heartfelt voice, Ying Zheng smiled in his heart. This kid is smart, and he "woke up" the rich and powerful with a single sentence.

He immediately looked at the crowd, "Well, there are some reasons. There should be clear rules for the management of the court and the management of the powerful. If so, what do the officials think is the best?"

"Your Majesty, how about...[-]%?"

After hearing this, an official asked cautiously.

what?

[-]%?

Hearing his words, everyone immediately objected!

"No! Fifty percent, yes, too high!"

"That's right, the law stipulates that only [-]% plus tax is required, how can it be [-]%?"

"But isn't the actual tax paid by merchants every year far more than [-]%?"

"That's the folks! Why can't the rich and powerful be more than [-]% in business?"

A group of people were chattering and arguing.

Feng Zheng was cheerful on the sidelines, and said in his heart, [Arguing, just arguing casually, arguing quickly, the more intense the arguing, the better. 】

kindness?

This kid wants to watch a play?

"All right!"

Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand, and all the officials fell silent immediately.

"What's your opinion on the business tax, Marquis Chang'an?"

"Your Majesty..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "This is what my minister thinks. If people are doing business, the tax rate should not be changed for the time being. If the rich and powerful are doing business, [-]% of the income will be collected first."

What?[-]%?

"Only [-]%?"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng was taken aback, and all officials were surprised for a while.

You are more ruthless than us!

"Your Majesty, because there are not many rich and powerful people doing business at present, and most of them are not familiar with doing business. If they suddenly seek high taxes, they may be a little ignorant. If they encounter high taxes again, they will definitely retreat."

kindness?

After hearing this, Feng Quji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself, are you paying less for yourself?

"That being the case, what revenue can the imperial court have?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked immediately.

"Hey, Your Majesty, that's what I'm going to say next."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "The reason why I only charge [-]% of the revenue for the powerful is because the business of the powerful is only incidental. The scale can't be very large. Didn't the adults just say that it can't be too big!"

What am I?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, all the officials immediately looked black.

Is this blocking us with our own words?

"However, if there is a method that can benefit both the imperial court and the powerful, it will be simple."

Feng Zheng smiled, "I have no talent, so I just have a plan."

"Which one?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked immediately.

"It's called a public-private partnership, and it's also called a share split."

Feng Zheng explained, "For example, the imperial court wants to open a store with a daily revenue of [-] yuan. The imperial court pays part of the money, the place, and the annual tribute of the officials, but the starting cost of opening is not enough.

At this time, my uncle, who was the right prime minister, took out [-] yuan and got [-]% of the dividend, so the monthly revenue would be [-] yuan, which would cover the cost in about three years.In the future, it will continue to make profits.

This is private property, not a lord. Even if my uncle dies tomorrow, it can still be passed on to his descendants, right?In this way, the imperial court can continue to make profits, and it can also give the rich and powerful a steady stream of profit opportunities, blessing the descendants.

It is not only beneficial to the court, but also beneficial to the dignitaries, don't you think so, Uncle? "

What am I?

Hearing Feng Zheng's example, Feng Quji immediately had black lines on his face.

You kid is really not a human being!

"Yes, that's the reason..."

The corner of Feng Quji's mouth twitched slightly, and he could only speak.

"In this way, the imperial court's own dividends directly go into the national treasury. The dividends of the rich and powerful go into their own pockets without paying taxes. It's the best of both worlds."

Feng Zheng continued, "Besides, the rich and powerful must pay close attention to it, otherwise the poor management will affect their jobs.

The imperial court can be merciful and allow the dignitaries to choose their own descendants to take up small positions. This can not only show the court's kindness, but also cultivate talents for the dignitaries themselves, which is the best of both worlds! "

"Huh? It's really good!"
