Chapter 1784 Beautiful things(1/2)
Guan Ning expected that when he proposed to levy commercial taxes, these people would jump out impatiently.
He also wants to take this opportunity to rectify it!
Dakang Law stipulates that officials are not allowed to engage in business, but this does not prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, which is also the most basic means of corruption.
By the end of Emperor Longjing's reign, it was almost obvious.
According to his investigation, almost every shop with a name in Shangjing City has the shadow of officials behind it.
They hold major shares in it and make huge profits from the shares.
Why oppose the imposition of business tax?
The money that could have gone into your pocket is less or gone.
How could you be willing?
What's more, they directly colluded with southern business gangs to provide political support.
They have seen Guan Ning's plan to collect commercial taxes in Beijing first, and then expand to the whole country.
So I couldn't sit still.
It would be fine if they were honest and honest, but their buttocks are crooked.
Guan Ning will not give them a chance, he will use thunderous means to suppress them.
I still want to object.
I really can't tell the difference between the big and small kings.
The severe execution of Lu Ying is to deter them!
Is there any faster way to get money than to confiscate your home?
The relatives have finished their investigation, and it is time for the sword to fall on these officials.
Officials' clear governance is the foundation of political clarity.
He wants to take this opportunity to completely change this bad trend!
At this moment, everyone was trembling with fear and did not dare to speak at all.
Especially the person who was pointed out just now felt as if he were facing an abyss, kneeling on the ground without daring to raise his head.
"I have decreed that I will never increase taxes, but you still say that I am competing with the people for profit."
Guan Ning said: "Whether you are doing it for the people or for yourself, you have to decide whether you are doing it for the people or for yourself."
"You say that I am suppressing business by imposing commercial taxes. Isn't it better that all the money goes into private pockets instead of the national treasury? If so, I am suppressing business!"
Everyone's heart trembled.
Speaking such words directly at the court meeting can be regarded as a clear political direction. I am afraid it will be difficult to do business in the future...
Guan Ning dared to say this because he knew it well.
He had also read many novels. Those who traveled through ancient times and directly developed business were actually unreasonable, and even attempted to destroy the Great Wall.
Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is not a derogatory term, but a correct move that meets the needs of the times.
The prosperity of business can indeed promote social and economic development, but there is a prerequisite that you must meet this condition.
Under the current situation, agriculture is still the main body of the country.
Everyone knows that doing business makes money quickly, so if everyone goes to do business, who will farm?
Without food, how can the people have enough to eat and how can the country fight the war?
Now that the civil war is over, everything is devastated, and a lot of land is abandoned and uncultivated. Unless this problem is solved, the country will not be able to develop!
Therefore, you must first have a full stomach before you can think about other issues.
Moreover, the imposition of business tax is not to suppress business, but to standardize business behavior and create a better environment for market development.
Guan Ning didn't explain much because there was no need...
By this time, there was no objection at all.
At this time, Xue Huairen stood up.
"As the chief minister of the cabinet, I have the unshirkable responsibility for the implementation of His Majesty's decrees. I am willing to take charge of this matter and must collect business taxes!"
Xue Huairen will act as a villain again.
Guan Ning was slightly startled in his heart. Others were afraid of avoiding this kind of errand, but Xue Huairen climbed up the pole and rushed forward.
Xue Huairen is getting old. He is going to retire. Before he retires, he must complete this important matter...
He couldn't bear to agree, not because he didn't trust him, but because he didn't want him to get a bad reputation anymore, because this was an errand that would offend people.
Old guy.
This is to insist on protecting the Xue family's wealth!
Whatever.
I miss you so much.
No matter how bad it is, there are still two daughters of the Xue family in the harem.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue. In addition, I have assigned the Jin Yiwei to you, and you have full authority to command it. If there is any disobedience, there is no need to show mercy. If it is necessary, seal it up. If you don't obey the manager, don't do business."
Guan Ning said: "In addition, those who actively pay taxes can be given corresponding preferential treatment. The Ministry of Revenue must step up the development of relevant systems..."
"yes!"
The father and son responded.
I guess at this moment, countless people are cursing Xue Huairen that he deserves to die...
"My lords, do you have any objections?"
It's useless to ask this question, who dares to object.
Anyone with objections was taken away.
"Then the matter is settled."
Guan Ning said calmly: "If you have any objections, you can speak directly. It's best to make it clear now. I'm not a one-spoken person."
All the ministers were speechless.
This is not a one-word statement, so what is a one-word statement?
"If outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, anyone has any complaints or dissatisfaction and adds resistance to the collection of commercial taxes out of thin air, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"in addition……"
Guan Ning said calmly: "Those who are making money behind the scenes, don't wait for me to find them one by one. I can give you a chance. I want to build an additional post station, but there is still a big gap in the budget. You have unknown origins.
The money can be donated, which can be regarded as contributing to the country."
"It's best to take the initiative yourself. If you wait for me to collect it, I won't just ask for money, but you will also ask for your head!"
His calm tone gave people the deepest fear.
This kind of slow and slow torture is more uncomfortable than direct beheading.
They were not sure whether His Majesty really knew these things.
Maybe His Majesty didn't know it at all, but they took the initiative to hand it over. This would not only expose themselves, but also provide evidence to execute them in the future, which would be a reason.
But what if?
Who dares to take this risk!
This clever move made them extremely uncomfortable.
Money or life?
This is a very simple multiple choice question.
His Majesty's intention is very clear, he wants them to completely cut off these messy relationships...
"Let's break up the court!"
"Retreat!"
Cheng Jing's high-pitched voice sounded.
"Long live my emperor."
All ministers saluted.
After Guan Ning left, he stood up and they made the same move in unison.
That is to take a long breath.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
Escaped.
In the past, it has been mentioned that the new emperor should hold court meetings normally and not slack off.
To be continued...
