Chapter 288: Economy and Party Struggle (12) Is it okay to hang street lights?
Cao Wenzhen's eldest sister is Gao Gong's concubine, which does not mean that he himself is very old. In fact, Cao Wenzhen is less than ten years older than Gao Pragmatic. In addition, Jinghua Textile, which he has been in charge of, has been expanding like a snowball in recent years, and his business has been extremely fruitful.
Next, Cao Wenzhen is well-maintained and has a better mentality. He looks like a middle-aged scribe with a gaunt face.
Standing in front of Gao Pragmatic, Cao Wenzhen is wearing a blue Taoist robe, holding a sandalwood folding fan imported from Japan with gold accents, and has a mustache and a long beard. He is indeed the standard look for a handsome man in this era, and he is not even "greasy" at all.
have.
Seeing Gao Pingshi, Cao Wenzhen immediately stepped forward and bowed: "When I heard that my boss was calling, Wen Zhen did not dare to neglect and came to see him immediately. However, he avoided four important ministers' honor guards on the way, so he came a little late... This is polite.
Already."
Gao Pragmatic smiled and waved his hand, saying: "No need to be polite, Mr. Zhidao, please sit down." Zhidao is Cao Wenzhen's character, which has a similar meaning to "Wenzhen". After all, he is a businessman and does not dare to take advantage of himself easily.
Take a number to avoid being ridiculed by others.
"Thank you, Master." Cao Wenzhen bowed again, this time to express his thanks. Then he half-slumped down on Gao Jingshi's guest chair. He still leaned forward slightly, maintaining an appearance of listening attentively, waiting for Gao Jingshi to speak.
This is a habit he has developed. Even though Gao Pragmatic seems to respect him quite a bit, his own family knows about his family affairs. His eldest sister was just a concubine of Gao Wenzhenggong back then. A concubine is not an "enemy of her husband".
It was almost equivalent to "husband's property", so Cao Wenzhen did not dare to compare himself to Low Wen Zhenggong's brother-in-law.
In this case, what do you think you are after being so pragmatic? He is the eighth number one scholar from a family of officials, and is the chief minister of the current imperial court. He is not even the Marquis of Nanning who retired with the country. I am in charge of it.
Cao Wenzhen, a person who lives in a low-income society, is very unreasonable about his status - he will treat himself kindly because of his own reputation, but the last thing is that he must be stupid and remember to transcend his superiority and inferiority.
Sure enough, seeing that Wen Weiming was so sensible and pragmatic, he didn't go straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth. Instead, he smiled and said: "I heard that the Supreme Master has been awarded the title of Kaifeng Mansion for a long time? It's really gratifying and congratulatory, look.
Before you come here, you should also call me the Great Master, 'Sage of Kaifeng'!"
Although Cao Wenzhen was smiling, he hurriedly held up his hands and begged for mercy: "My boss, please don't harm Wen Zhen. Even if the sages of Kaifeng follow the rules, they only kneel before officials of the seventh rank or above.
What does it mean to be in front of Mr. Xiu?"
Honorable Mention, that was a new system proposed by Low Pragmatism only a year later. It was a kind of praise for local good gentry, and it was mainly honorary. Of course, it did not have certain benefits. According to Low Pragmatism’s proposal,
The system is as follows:
Therefore, a reasonable share ratio is still very important.
At this time, I couldn't help but think: Capitalism is really passionate and affectionate. In order to dominate the market, it will care about the life and death of special people. As for competitors, this is even more important. Yes,
You see, the situation is definitely not like this except for Jinghua Textile. I'm afraid that few industries in Jinghua don't have that tendency. If you don't care about it, something small will happen sooner or later.
The seventh grade is given the name of a wise man from a certain government, such as Cao Wenzhen, the "Sage of Kaifeng". Those who are seventh grade and above are allowed to serve as officials. If there are no lawsuits or other matters, the Yamen must accept it immediately. This honorary title is not valid for ten years.
, it can be transferred, sold, etc., and will be extinguished upon death;
Therefore, although donating money may cost less, it is more convenient and trouble-free, and it definitely has side effects. Low pragmatism believes that this method should be chosen by fewer knights, wise men and good gentry in the future. Choosing to donate money to extend the honorary title,
That's exactly what Low Pragmatism wants us to do.
"Such a great lord, are you sure you will let him reconcile with the Jiangnan plutocrats?" Gao Pragmatic stared at Cao Wenzhen and said seriously: "He has no way to do that?"
He did those things for a humble and upright Honorable Lord like the "Sage of Kaifeng", but in the end, it was impossible for the yellow mud to fall off his crotch. It was shit and shit. Isn't this bad luck?
For example, if Cao Wenzhen is a "Sage of Kaifeng", I can donate according to the level of "a good gentleman of Mi County", but I must donate according to the standard of "seven percent of the central tax paid by Kaifeng Prefecture last year".
In other words, Cao Wenzhen's title of "Kaifeng Sage" is still a limited-time title. If there are "positive contributions" within ten years before obtaining the title, the honorary title will "expire and become valid."
I know why, when I thought about it, a dark and low street light suddenly lit up outside my mind...Ci'ao, my ideal is to make China fall behind, but for the sake of reform, I changed myself to death.
street lights.
Boss, as long as you can give me two years and dare to use your head as a guarantee, Jinghua Textile will sweep across Jiangnan, capture 40% of the market, and become the sole overlord of the Jiangnan fabric market!"
Yes, low pragmatism has given a long list of ways to prevent the extension of the honorary title, including but limited to building roads and bridges in the local area, constructing water conservancy projects, investing money to help eliminate banditry, building and renovating schools and examination venues, etc., but in fact those
It doesn't matter if he really thinks it's troublesome, he can just donate money and it can be solved.
Cao Wenzhen raised his eyebrows and secretly thought, "It is indeed because of this matter." Then he said without any assurance: "Although my boss is worried, I and a group of colleagues have not conducted a serious investigation and study on the relevant family's regression. We have no idea about the scale of our industry."
, there is no more detailed understanding of the financial assistance that accumulation of family assets and even connections may bring.
Of course, Low Pragmatic did that trick in the first place because he was afraid that Xiaojia would let it "expire". Although it is true that he has to make a lot of "positive contributions" to get that title for the first time, the previous method of obtaining it was also more troublesome - by the local
The recommendation from the government was submitted to the cabinet before inspection by the censor. The cabinet then voted and submitted it to the emperor. Only those who passed the emperor's approval would be awarded "Wenwei".

The first class is given an honorary title and is called a knight. It is allowed to have higher-level clothes, higher-level lintels, and higher-level chauffeurs. It is also allowed to build a memorial arch of its own. If you meet an official above the eighth rank, you will be worshiped. If you have no litigation or other duties, you will be sent to the yamen.
It must be accepted immediately. The honorary title is not a royal title, but a rank. It can also be hereditary, transferred, sold, etc., and will be extinguished upon death;
I am pragmatic and care about whether Wen Weiming should have paid 70,000 taels or 70,000 taels of "Extended Honor Silver" ten years ago. Anyway, if I can afford it. After all, I received quite a lot of dividends in those years, and now I should pay an average of 70,000 taels per year.
None of them are less than 10,000 taels. Even if Jinghua Textile only maintains its current profit scale in ten years, it will still be less than 100,000 taels.
Oh, let me start by saying that the income obtained from the "business" of "Rongjue" is also distributed according to the 7:3 ratio of the "tax sharing system" between the central and local governments. The court gets 7 and the locals get 3. The court must be less
He said that the establishment of "honor and jue" itself is not about taking advantage of the vanity of poor people to make money, and the local government can take 80% to ensure that local officials are willing to cooperate. Otherwise, the court would be happy to "sell the honor and jue". You
Are you working for free with me at the local level? What's the matter, he thinks he's just a dog licker?
Which ratio is low? Actually, it's not low, but Gao Pragmatic has no opinion on this: He does need to spend 40,000 taels to repair bridges and pave roads, but what about the troubles and risks involved?
Generally speaking, within one to two years, the total profit of Jinghua Textile will increase by about 20% to 80%, but that kind of increase is not enough to fear, because Jinghua Textile will be able to force it to do so at the latest two years ago.
We have exhausted our funds and cannot continue to maintain it, so we can only sell our assets or go bankrupt.
According to Xiao Ming's current taxation, after 80 years of reforms by the Practical School, the total of central and local taxes nationwide last year was still less than about 34 million taels, far more than after the reform. Among them, Henan Province accounted for 9.21%, or 313.14
Ten thousand taels. Looking specifically at Kaifeng Prefecture, since Kaifeng Prefecture is a key investment area for low-income families (Xinzheng is also under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture), it accounts for about 37% of the province's tax payment, so the total tax amount of Kaifeng Prefecture last year was 115.86
Ten thousand taels.
Forty percent? This is more than just a hegemon. This is not a monopoly at all... After all, there are no cloth sellers among the people. They sell their own weaving cloth to get some money to subsidize their families. If he really achieves 40% of the market, it is probably just
He killed all the families involved in the textile industry in the Jiangnan chaebol, and I'm afraid the people will complain. There are very few special families who can weave cloth and then sell it. They can only weave cloth for their own use... How can that be done?
I wish you had intervened in time.
But no matter how you say it, "central taxes" and "local taxes" are divided into two types of taxes. It is important to straighten out the distribution relationship between the central and local governments, mobilize the enthusiasm of both central and local governments, strengthen tax collection and management, and ensure fiscal revenue.
It has also played a positive role in strengthening macro-control capabilities... Well, that's not what it means anyway.
Of course, copying and copying, after all, the two eras are hundreds of years apart. The differences in productivity, organizational capabilities, infrastructure, etc. cannot be justified. Therefore, Xiao Ming’s “tax-sharing reform” is not completely the same as in the previous life. It is an overly liberal one.
Right, here is the detailed description.
----------
There is no new concept there, that is, "central tax". "Central tax" is naturally compared to "local tax". The "tax-sharing reform" is undoubtedly low-key and pragmatic. Even the name is directly copied by me after time travel.
Hong Chao, after all, as a township cadre, I am very unfamiliar with that model.
Ah, of course, Gao Yuanfu Neng must have favored me because of this, and he is also capable of being a licking dog. The problem is that Xiao Ming does not have nearly two hundred mansions [Note: There are 163 mansions in the original history, in this book
Because the expansion has added dozens], can Gao Yuanfu Qingyan survive?
However, as long as he gets it for the first time and has not been punished for any illegal behavior during the validity period of the title, the "extended limited-time title" will rarely be corrected. There are many ways, but the most complicated one is
The solution is not...donate money.
Of course, there is no standard for donating money, and it is actually not low: in the area where the honor is obtained at this level, the donation exceeds the "170" of the local "central tax" last year - which is not 7% - and the civil service is directly obtained.
Wei extended, the period will be the same as the next time.
For example, if something went wrong while he was building a bridge and the craftsman who built the bridge died, no one would be sent by the court to investigate and see if he had failed to protect himself from dangers or even deliberately harmed others.
——For example, this person had contradicted him some time ago, and now he deliberately arranged for me to do safety work, not intending to let me die. ——Wait, etc., etc., then there will be less trouble.
Turning the cold air around, Low Pragmatic turned to the topic: "Master Dao, he later reported that there was a price war in Jiangnan. What is the situation now?"
The eighth grade is to give the name of a good gentry of a certain county, such as a good gentry of Qiantang, and allow him to be of the first rank or above to be an official. If there is no litigation or other matters, the yamen must accept it immediately. This honorary title is not valid for seven years.
, it can be transferred, sold, etc., and will be extinguished upon death.
At present, the ratio of central tax to local tax is roughly 7:3, so the actual central tax paid by Kaifeng Prefecture last year was 811,000 taels. This does not mean that Cao Wenzhenkai extended his honorary title for ten years by donating money this year, so
I have to pay 40,500 taels of silver.
