Chapter 254 Tax Reform Plan

Chapter 254 Tax Reform Plan

Kunwu City's tax calculation method is relatively backward. It still uses a poll tax, which requires everyone in the city to pay a fixed tax on a regular basis. This seems fair, but in fact it makes the rich and poor pay the same tax.

For poor people, this tax takes up a lot of their income, but for wealthy people it is a drop in the bucket.

The steward of Qionghua Pavilion had heard of commercial tax, but due to the complexity of implementation, he had not promoted it in Kunwu City. He asked Tang Yue: "How to calculate this commercial tax?"

"Kunwu City is rich, so it is appropriate to impose a thirty-one tax on merchants' goods. In this way, the money can be collected is more than when the poll tax was collected before. In addition, the basic food is tax-free, so as to protect the mortals.

In a very basic life, the main people who pay taxes are the wealthier monks in Kunwu City, and big families with rich wealth should bear more taxes."

After hearing this tax method, everyone felt a little admired and a little worried, "This method is indeed good and can take care of the poor people and monks in the city, but the big families that have controlled the business in the city for many years will definitely block the implementation of the new tax."

"Their obstruction is inevitable and will affect some business transactions in the city. When the time comes, we can use Qionghua Pavilion's business to make up for it. This is why Senior Brother Wei and I insist on developing Qionghua Pavilion's self-operated business. Coupled with the recent taxes,

You should be able to do a lot of things."

The stewards were astonished. The Young Pavilion Master is really going to do something big. The next two months will definitely not be peaceful.

The stewards looked at each other, and some showed hesitation and did not dare to speak. This was also an opportunity to test the stewards, marginalize some who were not firm in their thinking, and promote some new and motivated people.

When the discussion was almost done, Tang Yue discussed the tax reform plan with the deacons. She decided to stay up all night, and the monks took turns to participate in the revision, and drafted the draft as soon as possible. She had to move faster than the other party, so that the wealthy family would not be prepared to get it.

victory.

At nightfall, several stewards left Qionghua Pavilion, avoided everyone, and quietly walked to the residences of several prominent families in the city. After receiving the news, these families were very anxious and hurriedly went to find the master of Zixiao Mansion, hoping that he could take the lead.

Protest to the city lord.

Moreover, the family's expectation for them is to get involved in social circles, gain valuable connections, and then marry and join forces when the time comes to bring benefits to the family. It is also a very suitable arrangement for them.

A few people felt that what he said made sense, so they posted the post instead of some sisters who were always good at doing things. They thought that this should be able to complete the tasks at home.

Tang Wan thoughtfully said, "Perhaps it's because the Meng family once had a dispute with Tang Yue, so she has a grudge in her heart and doesn't accept your posts."

Cao Yanjun thought about it but couldn't think of a good way. He couldn't show too much anxiety in front of the city lord. In the past, it was the city lord who took the initiative to seek his help and suppress Shui Yingrou.

Many noble girls are not as good as those female cultivators who come from ordinary backgrounds and can only rely on themselves. However, they have still made great achievements in the world of immortality and have achieved a lot of ascension.

The ladies don't want to discuss Tang Yue's merits. If someone they once looked down upon is now so outstanding, doesn't that prove that they are blind?

People's thinking is limited by their own conditions and environment, and they tend to speculate and make random comments on things they don't understand. They have fewer opportunities to come into contact with the affairs of the city than ordinary monks. Of course, they cannot understand what Tang Yue has done and what he wants to do.

thing.

As a last resort, he wrote a letter to the people of Xuanyuan Mountain, asking for their help. Presumably, Xuanyuan Mountain would not agree to Tang Yue becoming the Young City Lord.

When those young ladies received the task at home, they thought it was a simple matter. As long as they posted a message to Tang Yue, she would definitely agree. Then they would just flatter her a little more, and maybe they could make use of it.

They couldn't figure out this question either. Miss Meng said: "I don't know, maybe someone has taken a fancy to Tang Yue. She was admitted to Wuji Mountain Academy and her net worth has increased."

If he takes the initiative to come to the door, it will expose his thoughts and make the city lord defensive, which is not good.

A reply from Xuanjian City also came. They suggested that Cao Yanjun should not stop the tax change, but even promote it. Cao Yanjun thought about it carefully and felt that what the letter said made sense.

He was also upset by Tang Yue's actions. He forgot that changing taxes is easy, but collecting taxes is very difficult. A slight mistake will arouse public resentment, and Tang Wenhua will stop her and

Don't worry too much yourself.

It is precisely because of the bad habit of attaching great importance to the value of women's marriage in the world of immortality that many noble girls with good talents and good cultivation resources put their cultivation second, causing their Taoist hearts to be unstable and their cultivation to be smooth in the first half of their lives.

It becomes increasingly difficult to improve in the second half.

The noble daughter of the Meng family was a little angry after being rejected. Tang Wan was present at the noble daughter's small circle gathering today. Miss Meng asked her: "Why did your sister refuse our invitation? In the past, we would lose our temper for several days if we didn't invite her. Today,

Are you deliberately taking revenge on us?"

In addition, she later recuperated at home and stayed at home, so she had less contact with the aristocratic circle of Kunwu City.

She never denied the value of poetry, and often read the powerful poems of her predecessors, which contained a lot of leisurely interest and even insights into cultivation.

"So if another sister or sister who has no conflicts with her on weekdays posts, maybe she will come."

However, Tang Yue refused as soon as she heard about the poetry meeting. She was so busy and couldn't write poems, so how could she have time to appreciate them?

Tang Wan smiled helplessly, "Sister, she has been in charge of Qionghua Pavilion recently and has no time." And she can only establish a good relationship with these noble ladies here.

Tang Yue looked at the post and saw some people she didn't know, but she simply refused.

A young lady sneered, "Everything is done with the help of the steward in the cabinet. Why is she pretending?"

Just kidding, now she doesn't meet those who want to give her benefits, so how can she meet these people who obviously want to cause trouble for her and waste her time?

"It's obviously her fault. Our Meng family didn't say anything. How dare you blame us?"

The noble ladies in the world of immortality have also formed their own circles, and many people are climbing in this fame and fortune fair in an attempt to gain benefits.

The ladies felt that Miss Tang Er was a girl, even if she was a bit strong, she would like to get along with people of her own age and would like to attend gatherings with young talents. They happened to be holding a poetry party recently, so they asked their daughter to post.

Invite her to attend,

Tang Yue was not popular in the past and was indulgent and willful. Everyone preferred Tang Wan and secretly ostracized her. She rarely received invitations to gatherings in the city.

Monks of each social class have their own circles, people in power have their own circles, people in business have their own circles, and even families that are secluded from the world have to keep in touch with each other and stick together.

Several big families in the city couldn't wait any longer and wanted to test it out first. Thinking that Tang Yue was also a girl, they asked their wives to find a way to invite him out.

Of course, they will also practice seriously, and they are not the kind of ladies in ordinary society who stay at home and are not allowed to go out. But just like Dongfang Xue, everything has been planned for them, so they don't have to worry too much.

Tang Wan did not refute, letting them think so, but still asked: "Why do you suddenly invite Tang Yue to your family?"

But there are always trade-offs in life. She didn't have time to study this thing, so she simply gave up.

As Cao Yanjun expected, Tang Wenhua didn't even see Tang Yue, and directly sent someone to inform her that without the city lord's seal, it would be impossible for her to change anything.

Tang Yue smiled slightly and asked people to release the news that the city would change taxes to benefit the people, and explained that this move was to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in the city and allow the people to live a more secure life.

She also published her own articles in major newspapers and periodicals, which not only caused discussion in Kunwu City, but also people in other cities paid attention to the matter and expressed their opinions.

The controversy over commercial tax has existed in the world of immortals for a long time. Some people think it is a good thing, while others are opposed to it. Those who agree and disagree just take this opportunity to influence the situation, and soon the tax reform issue becomes the most important issue in Liuzhou Continent.

On hot topics, both monks and ordinary people have to express a few opinions.
