Devouring Chaos
Chapter 76 State Affairs
Yan Meili didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so in order to move on from it quickly, she announced the next exam to divert everyone's attention!
"Now I will give you a question on the spot to test your IQ!"
Yan Meili spoke slowly to the remaining candidates!
"Taxation has always been a matter of concern to the country. In order to reasonably manage taxation, please share your views!"
Taxation has always been a difficult problem. If too much is collected, the people will resist the country. If too little is collected, the relevant state agencies cannot survive. In addition, some unscrupulous businessmen like to take advantage of loopholes to evade taxes, which is a headache for Emperor Yan!
Of course Yan Meili also wanted to share the pressure for her father, so she asked!
Guan Xiaobai looked gloomy after hearing this. This question is a bit difficult! From ancient times to the present, taxes have been indispensable in every dynasty. Even if he is a modern person who traveled through time and space, he dare not ask such questions when taking the civil service exam!
Be it the candidates or the audience, they all lowered their heads and started to think. Since it concerned everyone’s interests, no one dared to talk nonsense!
"Why, is everyone silent?"
Seeing several candidates silent, Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and said mockingly!
"Sir, your question is too difficult. I can't answer it!"
"My Lord, me too, I haven't studied this area of knowledge!"
Several people immediately gave up! They were smart and didn't dare to speak carelessly. If they said something wrong and offended the court, they might be thrown into jail like JJ Lin before. If they offended the people and lost their interests, they would not be able to continue to stay in Changyuan City!
The remaining few people shook their heads slightly, feeling bitter in their hearts, and muttered to themselves, "Why should such a sharp topic be put on the table? Even if there are some things to say, who dares to say them in public?
"Forget it, forget it. As for Xiao Bai's popularity, we have no hope this year!"
Then the remaining four people next to the pavilion left shaking their heads!
The two Jiang brothers also left silently!
Chen Geng did not stop them, and only Guan Xiaobai and Lu Yuewen were left at the scene!
The audience did not disperse! Instead, they just watched the excitement!
"Why don't these two fools leave? Don't you know that the questions asked by this gentleman don't have perfect answers at all!"
"And I guess this gentleman was defeated by Guan Xiaobai before, so he asked such a tricky question just for him!"
"No matter which party this kid offends with his words, he will feel bad!"
"Hehe, I wonder if his words are for the court or for the people!"
"Hey, if I were him, I would have given up. With his current grades, he should have been able to pass the written test! Why is he still staying in the pavilion like an idiot?"
"Who knows? He looks so calm, does he want to answer this eternal question?"
"Take care of yourself. I hope he won't brag too much! He'll offend everyone!"
Guan Xiaobai ignored the audience's mocking voices, but a hint of confidence was brewing in his eyes!
Yan Meili looked at Guan Xiaobai with amusement. Seeing him like this, he must have something to say. She wanted to know what special insights Guan Xiaobai had!
Then Guan Xiaobai said loudly,
"Tax policies for special industries, specific regions, specific industries, and special periods should be different!"
"Oh, what's the difference?" Yan Meili's eyes lit up, her lazy look disappeared, she leaned forward in her seat, her eyes showing interest!
Chen Geng also liked to delve into some knowledge about national policies. When he heard the words Guan Xiaobai said, he felt they were very novel. He quickly took out a pen and paper and silently wrote them down, planning to study them later when he had time!
"Ahem..." Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, as if he was the focus of everyone's attention, Guan Xiaobai cleared the foreign object in his throat and spoke slowly.
"Taxes are simply divided into four categories: self-employed, sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporate entity!"
"Different groups will pay different proportions of tax! In this way, everyone will pay taxes more fairly! Ordinary people who earn less will pay less tax, while those who run shops and businesses who earn more will pay more!"
"So this method is the best, and no one has any complaints!"
"Of course, the customization of the proportion depends on your actual income!"
"For households in need, we should provide tax incentives, which can be in the following forms: tax exemption, tax reduction, exemption amount, tax threshold, tax refund, tax rate, tax and credit!"
……
Guan Xiaobai told everyone he roughly knew in one breath. If he continued, he really wouldn't know anything!
Lu Yuewen, who was standing aside, was talking to Guan Xiaobai with little stars in her eyes!
"I didn't realize you knew all this?"
Lu Yuewen whispered beside her, her face full of admiration!
"Uh... is it that exaggerated?"
Looking at Lu Yuewen's surprised expression, Guan Xiaobai touched his nose helplessly!
The audience was confused and shaking their heads, but why did it sound like it made sense?
Chen Geng solemnly wrote down what Guan Xiaobai said in his notebook! He turned to look at the princess beside him and asked carefully,
"Princess, Guan Xiaobai's answer seems vague and incomplete. Look at this result..."
Yan Meili let out a long breath.
"Huh...his answer is pretty good, there's something in it!"
This kind of tax model was the first time she heard Guan Xiaobai talk about it!
The current taxation model of Yan State is not so detailed. Everyone is taxed together! Regardless of whether the people make money or not, the annual tax cannot be reduced. The people in several border cities complain, while the profiteers are at ease!
"Quick, Chen Geng, write down everything Guan Xiaobai just said. I want to present it to you!"
Yan Meili had a hunch that if these things were really implemented, the country would definitely be much more stable!
"I've already made note of it!"
Chen Geng immediately handed over his notes!
Yan Meili looked at the ink that had not yet dried and smiled!
"Haha, Guan Xiaobai is really a talented person!"
"Well, this year's written test is over, Guan Xiaobai won first place!"
Yan Meili announced the result directly!
She made the right decision to come to Changyuan City this time. She originally wanted to dig out the technology for digging wells, but unexpectedly she dug out the human-shaped treasure Guan Xiaobai!
Everyone looked at Guan Xiaobai in a daze. They didn't expect that Guan Xiaobai could actually answer this difficult question!
It looks like the examiner is very satisfied!
Everyone sighed afterwards!
"Now, Guan Xiaobai will become famous in Yan Country!"
"Why am I not half as smart as Guan Xiaobai!" someone began to say sourly!
"Just you? Go home and take a shower and go to bed! Stop daydreaming here!"
"Can't I think about it? What do you care?"
