Chapter 60 Petition for the People
In the main hall
"Your Majesty, this year there have been severe floods, droughts, and epidemics in various places. Many people have lost their crops. Please exempt the people affected by the disasters from taxes for three years."
"Because only in this way can we improve the happiness of the people and increase their trust in the monarch!"
"This will be of great benefit to boosting morale and the future development of Daxia as a whole. I hope the emperor will adopt it!"
Yuan Ying knelt on the ground and petitioned for the people.
Emperor Kang Ren said in embarrassment: "My dear minister, the court is facing financial difficulties now. If the taxes on the people are abolished, the taxes will be greatly reduced."
"Your Majesty, you can transfer the commercial tax to personal income tax!"
As soon as Yuan Ying said this, all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at her. Emperor Kang Ren was even more puzzled. What is personal income tax?
Before the emperor could speak, an old minister jumped out and said:
"Sir Yuan, you asked the Emperor to exempt the people from taxes and instead collect taxes on merchants. Wouldn't that make the merchants even more miserable? In the eyes of Sir Yuan, the people are human beings, but the merchants are not?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many ministers echoed them.
Murong Xuanyi was also worried about her. This silly girl, isn't this going against all the officials? Well, she can do whatever she wants. He can just clear the roadblocks for her.
Yuan Ying sneered and said to the old minister: "Why are you so nervous? The transfer of commercial tax is as painful as if your flesh was cut. Are you secretly accepting funding from those big businessmen and landlords, so you cheer for them?"
Yuan Ying's straightforward words sent chills down the spines of all the civil and military officials in the hall. They all shut up in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, those maggots who are rich and sucking the blood of the court do not provide the court with a penny of tax.
And the common people, who work hard all year round, are still poor, yet they are taxed constantly," Yuan Ying continued.
Emperor Kang Ren glanced at the civil and military officials and said to Yuan Ying, "Minister Yuan, what is personal income tax?"
Reply to the Emperor: "Personal income tax is a tax levied on personal salary, reward silver, labor remuneration and other income. It is a tax levied on individuals based on their annual income.
The introduction of personal income tax can adjust income distribution, reflect national fairness, enhance people's awareness of tax payment, and increase fiscal revenue. "
"I have already paid 20% of the reward from the Emperor as personal tax. In addition, here are the personal tax collection and management regulations that I drafted overnight. Please review them, Emperor."
Emperor Kang Ren's face twitched: This was fully prepared.
But after reading the individual income tax regulations, he was shocked. Why didn't he think of this? There are five levels of individual income tax. The more you earn, the more tax you pay.
This is a good idea. These officials are all misers. They are extremely reluctant to spend money from their pockets for disaster relief. Thinking of this, Emperor Kang Ren took another deep look at Yuan Ying.
"The people are the foundation of the country, the saints are the heaven, but the people's will is greater than heaven!"
"As an official, especially an official of the Ministry of Revenue, we should abide by the saying: take from the people and use it for the people!"
"I hope Your Majesty will understand the people's sentiments and save the people of the world. Reduce taxes for the people." Yuan Ying's sonorous and powerful voice sounded again in the hall:
"Take from the people and give back to the people." Emperor Kang Ren repeated these words silently.
Although it is a common saying, the more I think about it, isn't it the truth he upholds? Everything he did in his life was for the people!
Emperor Kang Ren unconsciously smiled.
"What a great idea that the people are more important than anything else! What a great idea that we take from the people and give back to the people! I am very pleased! I am very pleased! Hahaha!" Emperor Kang Ren laughed heartily.
"Come on! Get some pen and ink!"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly took out the pen and ink. Emperor Kang Ren took the pen and wrote on the paper, leaving ink marks wherever the pen passed.
Emperor Kang Ren threw down his pen and said, "I hereby decree that from now on, all taxes on cloth, grain, fruits, vegetables, bamboo, wood and cattails woven by the people in all disaster-stricken areas in Daxia will be exempted for three years. A 10% commercial tax will be added, and personal income tax will be levied!"
"On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace!" Yuan Ying said sincerely.
All the civil and military officials had to agree: "Your Majesty is wise!"
At this point, the overall situation has been decided. Whether you are willing or not, you can only make new plans!
Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying and said, "My dear Yuan, please stand up. I heard that you took office as the Minister of Revenue yesterday. Do you have any plans for the future of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Yuan Ying thought to himself, this is the emperor's assessment of me!
She said calmly: "I have taken over as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The first step is to find out the problems of deposits and disbursements in the Ministry of Revenue in the past few years.
Then compare the current expenditure and income of the Ministry of Revenue to have a clear idea and make targeted actions. "
"The second step is to check all the personnel in the Ministry of Revenue, promote the capable ones, demote the mediocre ones, and make the average ones leave. This will help to rectify the atmosphere in the Ministry of Revenue."
"Third, after the above two matters are dealt with, the Ministry of Revenue will send some smart officials to various places to investigate and punish local officials."
"If there are people who do not do their job, or do nothing, or just eat and wait for death, or if there are people who are corrupt and accept bribes, I will arrest them all and hand them over to the Dali Temple for trial, and they will be severely punished by the law."
Emperor Kang Ren was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked: "My dear, you are so radical and so direct, you will be excluded and retaliated by corrupt officials. Aren't you afraid?"
Yuan Ying said proudly: "Why should I be afraid? Aren't those corrupt officials the ones I should be afraid of? If someone excludes me, wouldn't that just be a way of confessing myself?
Besides, Your Majesty, you sent me to the Ministry of Revenue not to curry favor with anyone. What does it matter if I am excluded or not?"
"Since the emperor trusts me, I am not afraid even if my head is broken into pieces and my body is torn to pieces!"
"Okay! Okay! Hahaha!!"
Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying's determined face and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Our Great Xia needs people like you who are brave enough to take responsibility and act! Yuan Ying, I was right about you."
His sharp eyes swept over everyone, "If all the officials were like you, would Daxia's administration be so corrupt?"
"Is Daxia's current situation so dire?"
After saying this, Emperor Kang Ren picked up the sword held on a rosewood frame next to the throne, grasped the scabbard in his hand, the sharp blade appeared, a streak of light flashed across his face, and then he put the sword back into the scabbard very neatly.
He walked down the hall, holding the sword in his hand and handed it to Yuan Ying, saying: "Yuan Ying, I grant you the imperial sword, which gives you the right to execute first and report later.
This imperial sword can cut off the tyrants and corrupt officials. You don't need to bow to anyone except me."
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"
At this moment, most of the civil and military officials in the hall were anxious, not knowing what fate would await them in the next moment.
After the court was adjourned, Yuan Ying walked out of the hall, paying no attention to the angry looks of the other officials, let alone saying hello.
Crown Prince Murong Xuanli stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yuan is really young and promising. This crown prince deeply admires your talent and wisdom. I hope to establish close cooperation with you in the future and contribute to the prosperity of Daxia together."
After hearing what the prince said, Yuan Ying understood his intentions. He smiled, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am an incompetent official, but I am grateful for your kindness. It is my honor to serve the country."
Seeing that Yuan Ying's attitude was unclear, the prince further said: "Mr. Yuan is too modest. This prince knows your influence and ability very well. If I can get your support in the future, this prince will be more confident in realizing my ideals and ambitions."
Yuan Ying complained in her heart, is it so obvious to form cliques? But she still said slowly: "Prince, I understand your intentions. When you become the emperor, I will assist you wholeheartedly."
The prince was so angry that he vomited blood. Was this a disguised rejection of his kindness?
After saying that, he said goodbye to the prince and strode out of the palace. Murong Xuanli stared at Yuan Ying's departing back with a sinister look in his eyes and smiled obscenely. This person must be used for his own purposes. He believed that everyone would have a breakthrough.
Murong Xuanyi didn't pay attention to the two of them. At this time, he was talking to Dali Temple Wei Ruchi.
I only heard Wei Ruchi say: "You have a mansion as big as Prince Jing's Mansion, but it's not enough for you to live in? Why do you want to buy more mansions? Why do you need to buy more in my name?"
Murong Xuanyi said calmly: "It's not in vain to use your name. You can choose any of the treasures in my library."
"Really?" Wei Ruchi's eyes widened, his pupils full of surprise and joy, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. He had been spying on the previous dynasty's laws and regulations hidden in his library for a long time.
Murong Xuanyi rolled his eyes at him: "When have I ever told you a lie?"
Wei Ruchi looked Murong Xuanyi up and down and said, "Xuanyi, tell me the truth, are you secretly keeping a mistress?"
"Isn't that right? You haven't married yet, so it's fine if you want to have a concubine. Why do you have to be so secretive?"
Murong Xuanyi stabbed him with a cold knife: "Shut up, just buy the mansion at No. 118 Yongding Street for me. I will ask Jiang Chong to send you the money you need. Don't ask about other things."
Wei Ruchi couldn't do it anymore: "Hey! You kid, is this your attitude of begging for help?"
"Besides, Xuan Yi, you are not nice enough. We agreed to stay single and not marry. But now you are secretly sleeping with a woman. Aren't you being unkind?"
"I'm not begging you, it's an equal exchange!" After saying this, Murong Xuanyi chased Yuan Ying without looking back.
Leaving behind the mess in the late wind...
Didn’t we agree to be single together?
