Chapter 223 Riding a Crane and Falling to Bianhejin (1)
"Okay! This is what I have in mind. Mr. Zhi, take this opportunity to suspend the personal income tax first, and then write to Shangshu and Zhongshu to apply for its abolition in the name of Jiangdong County."
After listening to Changsun Moli's words, Ye Xun knew that his husband was giving him political achievements.
Some Jiayilang and Tongyi officials from Zhongshu Province, as well as some professors from Guanzhong College of Sungkyun University, have been calling for the abolition of personal income tax for a long time.
And this voice is getting stronger and stronger, and several elders in the central government are beginning to favor abolishing it.
Ye Xun and Changsun Moli, who have reached a certain level, certainly know that several elders in the three provinces have such an attitude. First, there is an obvious tendency among the officials, and second, there is a consensus among the elders.
Due to these two factors, it is only a matter of time before the personal income tax is abolished.
Professors from Guan Zhong College proposed that for ordinary people, taxes should not be collected when they earn income, but only when they spend money.
This is because it facilitates mediation and control without disturbing the people.
The goods are very easy to control from leaving the factory to being transported and then sold in shops, and there will be no troubles caused by tax collectors disturbing the people. Factories and businesses, even if they have no backend background, still have the guild as a big backer.
Compared with ordinary people individually, they are much stronger. If your tax collectors dare to extort money, they will dare to go to the censor and the court to sue you to death.
On the other hand, taxes are set at a lower level on the subsistence goods that people use daily; on luxury goods that only the rich can afford, the taxes are set at a higher level.
Isn’t this robbing the rich and giving to the poor?
However, there is also strong opposition from local counties.
The personal income tax does not collect much money, but it is one of the ways for many local tax collectors to make a fortune. If it is abolished, wouldn't it mean that they will cut off their financial path? Definitely not.
These people jumped up and down and gathered into a large force. Together they spent money and effort to bribe literati, made up names in newspapers and magazines, and cheered for them.
Now Jiangdong County has suspended the personal income tax for justifiable reasons. It will wait for a few months and then formally submit documents requesting the abolition of the personal income tax.
In the past, the biggest resistance to abolishing it was at the local level. Now Jiangdong County, as a local representative, has taken the initiative to put forward opinions on abolishing it. This is equivalent to giving the central government an excellent step, and it is naturally a credit.
As for offending state and county tax collectors?
Mr. Rulin said it well, if you are afraid of offending people, be a good gentleman and don't become an official. As long as you do things, you will definitely offend people. It depends on who you offend.
As Fan Wenzhenggong said, "How can one family cry together rather than cry together?"
If you don't have this sense of responsibility, how can you live up to the expectations of the officials and Mr. Xuan Ming?
"Thank you, sir!" Ye Xun changed his title and said sincerely.
Seeing the determination on his face, Changsun Moli nodded with satisfaction.
"Mr. Zhi, walk slowly with me. There is still a long way to go. Let's talk while walking."
"Yes, sir."
The two people slowly walked down the hill outside Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant and walked towards the factory area. A group of security police officers spread out around them, protecting the two people from a distance.
"The resurgence of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner! Now that all industries are prosperous, the most lacking thing is population. This year's national meeting is about people's livelihood. Officials attended the meeting and rarely spoke at the venue. Zhi Lao read the minutes of the official's speech
?”
"After reading the minutes of the official's speech, the provincial secretary requested that it be conveyed to the county deputy level. The students have already studied it, and we have arranged for it to be reprinted and distributed to the states and counties. Next month, we will supervise the study notes of the states and counties."
"Well, you are the county magistrate, and it is your responsibility to do such simple things. Tell me, how do you feel about it?"
"Sir, the students feel that the officials focused on two points in their speech. One is to increase the survival rate of infants and let as many children grow up as possible; the other is to mention epidemic prevention work and strengthen the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of epidemic infectious diseases.
Work."
"Yes, the focus of the people's livelihood and population work in the next few years will be on these two points, in order to increase the population as quickly as possible. I have seen the statistics of some states and counties compiled by the National Bureau of Information and Inspection. The survival rate of children under one year old in our country is 100,000.
Sixty-seven percent, fifty-six percent of those under three years old, 45 percent of those under ten years old..."
"That is to say, not even 50% of children can live beyond the age of ten, which is shocking. And giving birth to a child is a life-and-death test for a woman. Once unfortunate, both big and small often die. Two lives.
"
Changsun Moli said in a serious tone: "The government has raised population growth to an unprecedented level. Why? Because manpower is needed everywhere in industry, commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry. In the past few years, the government has used the women's self-improvement movement to mobilize some women.
Free yourself, go in and out of the company's factory, and do what you can."
"In the past, it seemed that it was the willfulness of the officials, but now it seems that it was a wise plan for a rainy day. In the past few years, maritime trade has continued, bringing us more information and letting us know that everything in the world is
There is still so much rich and ownerless land. I used to always focus on the little land under my nose, and it was really hopeless."
Changsun Moli was a little excited when he spoke.
"As the officials said, the world is bigger than we can imagine. If we don't occupy these unowned lands, sooner or later we will have to take advantage of others, not us. But to occupy those lands, we must have enough manpower.
.So population growth is indeed a top priority.”
Ye Xun understood Changsun Moli's reminder and agreed: "Sir, you are right. Improving the survival rate of young children, strengthening epidemic prevention, and reducing the harm of epidemics are indeed good ways to increase the population. It will not take long, the Minister of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs
The Ministry will formulate corresponding measures.”
"Mr. Zhi, there are some things that you don't need to beat from above. You have to go to the front. Only in this way can you show your overall view. Since we already know the direction of the wind, we should set sail in advance."
Ye Xun stopped abruptly, and Changsun Moli also stopped and turned around to look at Ye Xun with a smile.
After a pause, Ye Xun said: "Sir, there are many famous doctors in Jiangnan. Did the Chief Secretary set up a medical research institute in the subordinate Huimin Bureau in the name of the Civil Affairs Department..."
Ye Xun paused for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. He thought for a while and revised his previous thoughts.
"Sir, let the Huimin Bureau come forward and join forces with Sanwu University to establish an academic medical research institute. The key disciplines will be pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and epidemiology. Zhejiang East County is also a place where famous doctors have emerged. Students should let this medical research institute
He came forward to invite famous doctors from Zhejiang County, especially those in the three specialties, and hired them with a lot of money. Then he pooled their knowledge and compiled relevant books. This can be regarded as Jiangdong County's contribution to the people's livelihood of the Song Dynasty."
After hearing what Ye Xun said, Changsun Moli was very satisfied.
"That's the right thing to do. Officials often talk about subjective initiative. What is subjective initiative? It means knowing a little bit and then doing your duty!"
"Students are taught!"
A scribe came over and said to Ye Xun: "Ye Changshi, someone posted a letter to Xingyuan. The person who came was Ma Sansi, the chairman of the Western Patriotic Association of Jiangdong County, and the things in the post involved foreign vassals. Xingyuan was not
If you dare to be negligent, ask the younger one to send it over, and let the chief minister make a decision."
Ye Xun took Ma Sansi's post and read it three lines at a glance. Then he turned to Changsun Moli and said, "Sir, there are envoys from the Byzantine Kingdom coming to the DPRK. They posted through Ma Sansi and want to see you."
After saying that, he handed over the post.
"Byzantium?"
"It was the former Flynn Kingdom. Students remember that it was to the west of the Turkic Seljuk Khanate and to the north of Green Clothes Dashi across the sea..."
"Mr. Zhi's memory is amazing. I remember all these." Changsun Moli said as he finished reading the posts, and immediately ordered: "Mr. Zhi, please arrange for me to meet Ma Sansi and these two worshippers at the Xingyuan in Shanghai tomorrow.
An envoy from the Zhan court."
"Sir, Byzantium is too far away. Moreover, according to the professors of the Geographical Society, Byzantium is directly connected to our waterless land route, and there are food, Turks, Persia and..."
At this point, Ye Xun realized something.
Changsun Moli smiled and said: "That's right! We haven't avenged the Western Kara Khanate yet. Why did he jump so high? It was because the Governor of Khorasan of the Turkic Seljuk Khanate was supporting him."
"Sir, what you mean is that we can join forces with Byzantium to deal with the Turkic Seljuk Khanate?"
"Of course. The Western Kara Khanate, a country with a big nose, is not worthy of our Song Dynasty mobilizing troops to deal with it. If you want to deal with it, deal with the chief messenger behind it. Only the Turkic Seljuk Khanate deserves it.
He is worthy of being my rival in the Song Dynasty!"
"Students are taught."
Ye Xun replied respectfully. This chapter has been completed!
