It is absolutely forbidden to be a maid, but if you appear as a female counselor and have Fusheng Pavilion with your back, it will be completely different. An ambitious woman like Cheng Cen will definitely take a fancy to Fusheng Pavilion and want to use it to make trouble. How can she let it go?

Passing the Chu month?

Everything would be completely different if you change the angle. Chu Yue was not so careless, but this time he hit the right path by mistake.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao were both happy to see such a result, and Huang Tang presented a note and discussed with Qin Feng the recent changes after the implementation of the tax. It was previously said that there would be a one-year tax exemption, and the earlier tax system was officially implemented.

On the basis of the original taxation in Dongyue, Qin Feng led the Ministry of Household Affairs to make reforms. For example, there were no longer fixed taxation points.

"His Majesty is determined to retain the equal land system, and I deeply agree with him. The land must always be owned by the state. The dynasty can allocate land to farmers who have no land or little land, but they only have the right to plant and transfer, but not to buy or sell."

"During the period of use, taxes must be paid according to regulations," Huang Tang said: "However, the agricultural tax established by His Majesty is extremely beneficial. It is levied in proportion to the harvest. If the harvest is one hundred catties, five catties of harvest must be handed over as tax.

."

Qin Feng wanted to tell Huang Tang that this was called a five percent tax, and it was actually collected. After skipping it, he said: "When I came to the southwest, I heard local people complain that the agricultural tax was unreasonable and did not take into account the harvest of the year.

This thought."

"Collect more, pay more, and harvest less. Naturally, we have to lower it. Only in this way can we make it easier for the people. Especially Kuya is now expanding agriculture. If we want to encourage more people to engage in agricultural production, taxes should not be harsh." ωωw.

"I'm even thinking that if one day Kun's treasury revenue is enough to bear the burden, we can give farmers tax exemptions. Furthermore, as long as they are willing to develop agriculture, we can provide agricultural subsidies based on the cultivated area to encourage farming and ensure food supply.

"

Huang Tang was already amazed by the agricultural tax reform. When he heard the plan behind it, he wanted to say something, but then he thought that the prerequisite given by Qin Feng was that the national treasury was sufficient. He also knew that this was a later policy and there was no prerequisite for implementation now.

"Your Majesty, all ministers and people think that the agricultural tax currently implemented is more reasonable, and this tax policy can continue to be used. The Minister of Household Affairs has also sent people to collect polls, and there is no objection," Huang Tang was quite pleased with the agricultural tax.

“In terms of commercial tax, the salt tax is exempted, and the ratio of residential tax to overtax is also reasonable,” Huang Tang said hesitantly: “It’s just that some products that are not highly used are taxed, and the merchants have some objections because it is too trivial.

"

Commercial tax is supposed to be a tax on all goods bought and sold, but there are extremely many types of goods and each item is levied. Big merchants are fine, but small merchants find it burdensome, especially small workshops, which cannot afford it at all.

.

Qin Feng frowned and tapped his fingers on the table. He couldn't help but recall how business taxes were collected in modern society.

This area is not in his familiar field. He vaguely remembers that taxes are calculated separately to guide the influx of capital into people's livelihood industries.

He was a little worried for a moment, and Xiao Lingyao's voice rang in his ears: "There are ways to solve this problem. Although they are all commodities, their circulation rates are very different. We might as well draw up a list of goods with reduced taxes or exemptions."

"Including goods that are not widely circulated and in low demand will reduce the pressure on relevant practitioners and reduce public resentment. Kuya is now on the rise, and public resentment must not arise."

Xiao Lingyao pondered for a while and said: "As for which goods can be taxed less or exempt, this needs to be carefully investigated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The final list must be determined after discussing with each merchant. They are the subjects of taxation.

, more feelings.”

Didn't this come from the masses and return to the masses? Qin Feng couldn't help but be happy. Although Xiao Lingyao had a great-grandmother who traveled through time, she was a native of ancient times, and her thinking was more inclined to this time and space, but she realized such an important thing.

principle.

But think about it, the ancients have long proposed the concept of people-centeredness, and various derivatives in later generations are actually based on people-centeredness. It is not surprising that Xiao Lingyao can think of this.

Huang Tang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but admire at this moment: "I think this plan is feasible, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Small taxes will not be of much help to small workshops. In the early stages of establishment, a tax-free list will be established directly to exempt goods with low market circulation rates. However, it must be passed down to the lower levels. The merchants on the tax-free list will follow.

Changes as the market changes.”

This is the biggest supplement to Xiao Lingyao's suggestion, and Huang Tang also thinks it is the best. Just like the tax exemption in the past, it lasts for one year, so that everyone can know the benefits of this only one year, and seize this year to develop well.

Precisely because we had enough publicity back then, no one was opposed to the tax collection starting a year later, and it is the same now.

"In the past, the head tax was restructured and incorporated into taxation, which levied goods, grain, and silver. However, the taxation has always been very heavy in ancient times, which made the people unbearable. Your Majesty now levies a moderate tax, and can obtain a lot of tax benefits.

Tax exemption for disadvantaged groups is a blessing to the people."

Huang Tang's emotion was serious. He had been in the officialdom of Dongyue for many years, and he only saw that things were getting better and better year by year, but the people at the bottom were getting more and more difficult. However, in Kuya and Dakun, there was no such thing as poverty.

People who don’t have enough to eat.

To use a sentence once mentioned by Qin Feng - the gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable. After all, everyone has a gap in ability level, and deviations are inevitable, but at least one thing can be guaranteed, everyone can have enough food and clothing.

question.

On this basic level, everyone can rely on their own abilities to ensure the bottom line, but there is no upper limit.

Qin Feng spent the past two years proving step by step that his route was correct. In Dakun, no one had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Looking at Huang Tang with a sigh on his face, Qin Feng thought that he was still there, but he did not think carefully before, which made many people resentful. Fortunately, he discovered the problem in time and was able to adjust it as soon as possible.

There is never perfection, we can only find loopholes and adjust quickly to prevent small problems from turning into big problems.

Huang Tang also came up with many tips to discuss with Qin Feng. In addition to taxes, there is also the continuous influx of population. Now the number of people in Kun has increased dramatically. In addition, Xiao Lingyao has formulated a reward system to encourage childbirth, and the fertility rate is now also

is steadily improving.

When it comes to this, just like her self-taught understanding of the mass line, the reward system to encourage childbirth was also what she came up with after reading many ancient books to encourage marriage and childbirth. In fact, Qin Feng knew something about this.
