Chapter 157: Big changes unseen in thousands of years, big problems that need to be solved urgently!
The imperial tax system cannot be changed easily.
If taxes are directly lowered in Suzhou, what will other places do?
If everyone is like this, the Minister of Household Affairs will probably give up his job.
If he takes ten thousand steps back, he can ask Lao Zhu to give Suzhou an extra favor and exempt him from taxes for one year.
That can only relieve temporary worries.
What's more, given that Suzhou's tax burden is such a large proportion, it is no easy task to grant it tax exemption.
But as long as Suzhou's total taxes remain unchanged and there is flexibility within this framework, he, as the supervisor, can make his own decisions.
In fact, the more developed the commodity economy is, the less land taxes need to be collected.
After the Qing Dynasty was forcibly opened by foreigners, in the later period, although the society became more and more decadent, the court's tax revenue increased significantly without imposing additional land taxes.
From customs alone, the annual revenue is as high as tens of millions of taels.
"If we want to develop Suzhou's business in a small way, there is no problem that needs to be solved urgently. This is Xiao Ming Bao Chao!"
On the other hand, it is also possible to be completely trapped outside the limitations of history.
Before Zhu Yunxuan said those words, Liu Hanmo's mentality suddenly changed slightly.
As the crown prince, I confide in an official. This is not the smallest favor given to me.
"Tiger and leopard roar in the mountains and forests, fish and dragons leap in the rivers and seas, and birds fly in the four heavens. People have the courage of tigers and leopards, the power of fish and dragons, and the wings of birds, but they can be the leader of hundreds of spirits. Why? What do people think?
Elders, be good at fake things."
But we ourselves feel that.
Despite this, even if the commercial taxes set by the Xiao Ming court were very heavy later, the commercial taxes collected were still high.
Taisun Dian is Xiao Ming’s crown prince and the one who will inherit the throne in the future.
Although our family members are servants, they don’t make much money through business.
Influenced by Confucian etiquette, a small number of scholars have always been regarded as businessmen who value wealth and profit over others.
Taisun is the future emperor. Which official hopes that Jane will be in the emperor's heart?
In Xiaoming, it is almost everywhere and unavoidable.
"China has developed for thousands of years since the Eight Emperors and Seven Emperors. Today, it has accumulated enough. In ten years, it will surely usher in small changes that have not happened in thousands of years."
"With the development of technology in the future, society will become completely homogeneous, and commerce will become more and more important."
"That's the reason why Gu Yao made so little effort to develop commerce."
But in that era, the dominant people were businessmen after all, but scholars.
It doesn't mean to deceive oneself or others, or to deceive others.
A gentleman is kind-hearted and sees that animals must be slaughtered, so he keeps away from them.
Zhu Yunzhen then tried to win over him.
Internal factors and internal factors work together.
If Liu Hanmo cannot be won over and is willing to be surrendered, this will naturally be bad.
Prior to this, the imperial court's policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business seriously hindered Suzhou's commercial development.
I have read a lot of books about sages and I don’t think so.
Liu Hanmo thanked you and said: "Your Majesty Taisun's kindness will be remembered by millions of people in Suzhou. I also ask Your Majesty Taisun to worry about it. During Liu's tenure, he will do his best to promote the prosperity of Suzhou's trade and reduce the weight of land."
Heavy taxes."
Zhu Yunxuan nodded, and said in a very serious tone: "Developing commerce is a matter of great importance."
Moreover, Zhu Yunzhen's words did not have another meaning.
It provides a psychological foundation for the people, officials, and the government and the public.
Later generations of society were able to completely abolish agricultural taxes because the state no longer relied on them for taxes.
Xiao Yue is just like a gentleman staying in the kitchen.
That's very unchallenging and very boring.
He Bingxun didn't ask for it weakly, he just tried it casually.
In addition, Liu Hanmo also heard from his words that his grandson valued him highly.
He is also a peerless general who can defeat tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels with his 700 new troops.
The number of wealthy businessmen, even under repeated suppression by the court, is still far higher than that in other places.
Another strategy that has the best of both worlds.
The land tax problem in Suzhou can be solved, and business will take off as a result.
Suzhou has a solid commercial foundation, unique geographical advantages, and the conditions to vigorously develop commerce.
After a long while, he suddenly came back to his senses, kowtowed heavily and said: "It is hard for Hanmo to repay the great kindness of the Taisun Palace, even if he dies, but he will repay the favor to the palace with all his heart and soul."
Businessmen smell of copper all over their bodies. This is the perception of a small number of scholars.
That is the advantage brought by the lower position.
A person can grow up and leave his name in history, not only through his own efforts, but also without the influence of the outside world.
Perhaps, I, who is unknown in history, can be cultivated into a person who will be famous throughout the ages.
As the environment changes, the names of characters in history books may undergo earth-shaking changes.
As a result, the local government in Suzhou and the scholars in Suzhou, in order to allow merchants to bear all the taxes in Suzhou and to pay land taxes, must do their best to encourage the development of commerce and promote commercial prosperity.
Maybe it's just good luck.
But it still prevents us from sincerely despising businessmen.
Do people who have not been recorded in history books really have abilities?
If I take it for granted, am willing to surrender, and do it for myself, then this is also a good use of my mouth to spread the words of "a small change that has not lasted for thousands of years."
It was only a series of unexpected events that put Suzhou into trouble.
After what I had just seen with my own eyes, while talking and laughing, I came up with a way to solve Suzhou's predicament by providing work for relief.
not necessarily.
People say that Taisun Dian is the reincarnation of a god.
I must cultivate a group of my own people.
The current predicament is only temporary.
"The imperial court must change, and heaven must change."
A small change that hasn’t happened in thousands of years?
Liu Hanmo was slightly shaken. He looked at He Bingzhen, his eyes fixed and moving, as if he had lost his heart and soul for a moment.
After that, due to the influence of Xiao Ming's policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, Suzhou's commercial potential has not been fully realized.
What I just said is shocking to the world.
If anyone else were to say it, I would definitely think it was absurd and alarmist talk.
What Zhu Yunxuan was most worried about was not that local officials and gentry would suppress business and merchants unintentionally or intentionally.

However, Taisun Dian's talents were unmatched and unparalleled, but Liu Hanmo didn't believe them at all.
That's why I came up with such a method.
After Liu Hanmo kowtowed, he raised his eyes and looked at He Bingxuan and said, "Your Majesty Taisun thinks so highly of Shangguan, and Shangguan dares to hide it from Your Majesty again."
"Those words should have been said to him, but seeing as how talented he is and willing to do things sincerely, he paid them with sincerity."
Food, color, and sex.
"If Gu can invent the flintlock gun, he can destroy tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels with an army of seven hundred."
Suzhou was not originally the commercial and trade center of Jiangnan.
Just do it yourself.
"I hope you don't have to disappoint me."
That is easy.
Using one's own historical knowledge to win over people whose abilities have been proven by history is certainly one aspect.
Zhu Yunxuan observed the changes in my demeanor and was quite satisfied.
How could that shock me?
Doesn't that mean you are telling me that you regard him as your confidant?
But Suzhou is the same.
Times make heroes, and heroes come at the right time.
It has even become the main source of income outside the home.
The eyes are pure seeing.
Liu Hanmo asked himself that he had never seen such a monster in his life.
Even so, Suzhou has developed a fairly mature business society.
But you still have to eat.
The two are not meant to coexist with each other.
Before the tax system was levied and reformed, commercial taxes increased even more.
Lay the foundation for drastic reforms in the future.
Moreover, the methods I used were very clever.
I was immediately flattered by how much he valued me.
As a scholar, I, like a small number of scholars, regard myself as a businessman and attach great importance to the development of business and trade.
If I hear it on the streets, I will definitely find out who said it, and I will be charged with the crime of misleading people and disturbing people's hearts.
Considering the astonishing talent in Taisun Palace, those words must be nonsense.
The impression Liu Hanmo gave me is still wrong, and it’s useless.
"We can only rely on the 700 new troops to quell the rebellion of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and rebels, all thanks to the power of guns. He must have never heard of this."
"The purpose of establishing the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau alone is to invent fewer things, which are only used for military warfare and production."
With the implementation of a series of policies such as the opening of maritime restrictions, the liberalization of business qualifications, and the unified taxation of invoices, Suzhou will once again usher in the prosperity of business and trade.
At most, give him a good beating.
But coming from the mouth of Taisun Dian, Liu Hanmo had to treat him casually.
It is not to give a heavy reward, but to say something "sincerely".
It's because I have moved to another place. With Xiao Ming's current productivity level, it would be impossible to rely on commercial tax to replace land tax.
