Chapter 438 Report to the Emperor that Zhu San and his son have become corrupt!
"Jian Guo, what does it mean to levy indirect taxes on the circulation of goods?"
Huang Zongxi heard a new term and didn't understand what it was, so he asked.
“Indirect taxes refer to taxes that taxpayers can transfer the tax burden to others...mainly refers to taxes that are siphoned off during the business process.
The new tax system is very cleverly designed, making tax evasion much more difficult! However, this tax system must be implemented step by step, and the process will take a long time... Don't be anxious, just wait patiently."
In his previous life, Zhu Heji was a businessman of high-quality imitations with integrity. His high-quality imitations were already on track. He had opened a company and set up a factory. He was quite knowledgeable about value-added tax, consumption tax, and tariffs.
Therefore, he also designed a quite ingenious taxation method for the circulation link for the new Ming Dynasty in the future.
Specifically, a tax collection method similar to value-added tax is used to collect customs tax in the circulation link-all businessmen who reach a certain scale must register, obtain a license, and obtain a dedicated Arabic numeral tax number.
.
Only with a license and tax number can this business be opened!
When they prepare to sell a batch of goods to other places, they have to go to the customs department of the prefecture and county where they are located to make a quotation, accept the assessment, and receive a tax stamp book with the corresponding tax number.
Each page of this tax stamp book can be stamped with two tax payment stamps - the first tax payment stamp must be stamped when paying taxes at the county customs department.
The subsequent tax payment stamps are to be typed for each tax card passed.
Of course, the amount of tax paid is very low. For bulk commodities, the tax is 1% of the assessed value, and there is a cap. Once you pay enough and then go through the customs, you don’t have to pay tax on the tax card.
Small traders do not need to register, nor do they need to receive a tax book. When they pass the tax card, they only need to pay a minimum fixed tax and receive a tax stamp... Small-amount trafficking generally does not go through more than two
Tax card, a tax stamp is usually enough.
These tax stamps and tax stamp books often go through multiple inspections during the transportation of goods, and are finally handed over to the next owner.
After getting these tax stamps, you can go to the local customs department to exchange for new tax stamps or apply for commercial tax - commercial tax is the tax that needs to be paid when selling in a store or when using it as raw materials for reprocessing. The tax rate is
It’s not high, and it can be deducted from the tax paid by the previous family.
If the tax paid by the previous family has reached the upper limit when passing the customs, then the next family will not need to pay commercial tax anymore.
If you want to sell to a distant place, as long as you have a tax stamp from the Customs Department that says "Duty Paid at the previous home", you don't have to pay tax anymore.
In addition, if the goods are transported long-distance by sea or the Yangtze River, and there is no tax card in the middle, then when these goods land, you have to take the tax stamp book from the place of departure to the local customs to handle the tax - the customs will depend on the distance of transportation.
Collect taxes.
Of course, it is not easy to establish such a complex tax system... It will take a few steps to complete slowly, and it will probably not take three to five years to complete.
But in order to be able to happily collect taxes in the future, the new tax system must be implemented bit by bit from now on.
However, for the scholar-bureaucrats in southern Zhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, this new tax system is not a good thing!
Not only because they are unwilling to pay taxes, but also because if they don’t study hard in the new business school for a while, they will not know how to correctly collect taxes, pay taxes and evade taxes... How can this be fixed?
Got it!
.......
Xuzhou, Yunlong Mountain, Xinghua Temple, where the Qing Emperor was visiting.
"Your Majesty, I dare to use my head as a guarantee. Zhu San and his son are really rotten. They are completely different people after entering Jiangning and before they entered Jiangning! When I was doing hard labor in Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, I heard someone say that Zhu San and his son are really rotten.
Before the three fathers and sons entered Jiangning, they really shared the joys and sorrows with the people below. Although they each had a few fake queens, they were not too lustful. But after returning to Jiangning, the two fathers and sons stopped pretending at all.
....”
The man who was kneeling in front of Emperor Kangxi and eloquently describing all the corrupt deeds of Zhu Heji and King Zhu Tian after he took over Nanjing was the one who sneaked out of the battlefield with his legacy when Sun Sike committed suicide.
Yue Shenglong.
After Yue Shenglong rushed into the woods that day, he first found a place to hide Sun Sike's secret, and then went down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army.
He thought he would receive ten taels of silver as travel expenses immediately after surrendering, but he was told that he had to "work atonement" and clean up the Xiaoling Mausoleum first, and then repair it as much as possible before he could be released.
Yue Shenglong had no choice but to work hard. However, working hard in Xiaoling also had its advantages. He could easily find Sun Sike's legacy that he had hidden before.
After two or three months of hard labor, he finally received ten taels of silver before the twelfth lunar month of the thirteenth year of Kangxi's reign, and was sent to Guabu Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which was already controlled by the Ming army, for release.
After leaving Guabu Town, Yue Shenglong immediately went to Yangzhou, which was still under the control of the Jiangbei Camp of the Qing Army. He found the local Qing officials with Sun Sike's legacy, and was then sent to Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou where Emperor Kangxi was stationed.
.
After meeting Kangxi on Yunlong Mountain, Kang Mazi did not immediately look at Sun Sike's legacy. Instead, he asked about the situation in Nanjing and what Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Heji and his father and son were busy with.
Of course Yue Shenglong knew everything... Although he had been working hard in Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, he was literate and could speak Mandarin that everyone could understand, and he also treated people well.
.
Therefore, he was often sent to receive the counselors who visited Xiaoling. From the conversations with these people, Yue Shenglong heard many rumors about the decay of Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Heji and his son.
What a palace! What a draft girl? The most exaggerated thing is that there is news that Zhu Heji is still playing weaving...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What? Weaving?" Emperor Kangxi was stunned, "What's so fun about weaving? And he's a big man... playing with weaving?"
This scene is really unimaginable!
Zhu Heji, a handsome man with a big beard, is now sitting in front of the spinning machine and "chirping again and again"?
"Your Majesty, maybe Zhu Heji is hiding his power and biding his time?" Xiong Cilu, the minister of the Southern Study, knelt down and said, "Liu Bei planted vegetables when he was trapped at Cao Mengde's place."
"Can growing vegetables be the same as weaving?" Kangxi said, "If Liu Bei were to do the same thing, and the emperor's uncle would be the weaver, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would have to join the Ming Dynasty!"
With that said, Kangxi asked Zhou Peigong, who was walking in Nan Study next to him, "Pei Gong, what do you think?"
Zhou Peigong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Zhu Heji and the Weaver Girl are being debauched and immoral... Their Zhu family often has some ridiculous lords, Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Heji, father and son, compared with them,
It’s not too ridiculous.”
Kangxi nodded without comment.
Zhou Peigong then analyzed: "Your Majesty, after Zhu Heji did this, one thing is certain... He will not launch a large-scale Northern Expedition for the time being. We can concentrate our efforts on Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition army!"
"Wu Sangui's army will go north in winter?" Kangxi asked.
Zhou Peigong said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you once threatened to dig up the Yellow River embankment...Wu Sangui dare not think that you are just talking!"
Only then did Kangxi remember that he had indeed said this!
And it is indeed not just a casual statement. If Wu Sangui dared to send troops when the Yellow River was full of water and forced Kangxi into a panic, what would Kangxi not be able to do?
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "It's okay to fight in the Central Plains in winter... Zhu Heji's troops are all Cantonese and Fujianese, and they can't stand the cold. Most of them won't go north, so we can have a few
Have a good fight with Wu Sangui in a month!
As long as we can defeat Wu Sangui...we still have half the Qing Dynasty in this world!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, as long as we can concentrate our efforts, Wu Sangui will definitely be defeated!"
Kangxi frowned: "But the troops I have are still a bit thin!"
