He smiled and said some gossip about whether there was any or not. Duan Ye finally touched his chin and said, "Mr. Jiao, for so many years, your family is highly respected in Jincheng County, ah?"
Jiao Meng became nervous when he heard this. It seemed that he was about to get to the point of being respectful? If someone who wanted to say this, Jiao Meng would love to listen to it very much, because in that case, Jiao Meng could take the opportunity to grab it.
Qualified interests
However, Duan Ye said this, the nature of the matter is completely different. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials, and generally it is not a last resort. Even if it is a small official with a big fame, Jiao Meng is polite, let alone
What about people like Duan Ye
I think it is clear that Duan Ye wants something to say, as the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must first give it a gift, first put a high hat that is worthless, and then use this to start asking for something.
Jiao Meng has seen too many
"Hahaha" Jiao Meng laughed a little, "My lord is too much, relying on the love of the villagers, Jiao Meng still has a little reputation in the village. Well, it is also the responsibility of the people to share their worries. You need
What Jiao Meng does, just say it, Jiao Meng must be an adult, and he will be confused!"
Jiao Meng's generous speech almost moved him, but Jiao Meng was settled in his heart. Duan Ye probably wanted money when he said this! This little boy, he had taken two delicate people, and he couldn't bear to leave him.
It’s okay if the beauty moves, she actually wants money!
Of course, being an official for thousands of miles is really just for money. Jiao Meng doesn't believe in an official who doesn't love money. If a new official comes to power, it's impossible to say that Duan Ye cruelly killed three major families before, but his purpose is not to be
Is it just to establish authority? After establishing authority, it is time to ask for money
Giving money is not a problem. The key is how much money is given and the effect after giving money. What if Duan Yeshi speaks out loud and he can't afford it at all? Or Duan Yeguang collects money but still does not protect his family, what should he do?
Jiao Meng was still nervous, but Duan Ye seemed to have not heard it, and said slowly: "Mr. Jiao, this world is a bit chaotic. The world probably has been in peace for a while. These things, no matter what,
Those people, who are still those who are paying their salaries and bringing soldiers, find it difficult.”
"Yes, yes," Jiao Meng responded nervously, "The life of a person is not as good as a dog in troubled times. Hahaha, this is also impossible, just live for the sake of life."
"Oh," Duan Ye sighed, looking worried about the country and the people, "Although I am young, I have been following the Lord of the Festival. As the saying goes, it is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes if you don't make decisions for the people!
That is too far away, what about Jiankang and Chang'an. I am beyond my reach, but I can keep my word in Jincheng County.”
"Uh, Jiao Meng raised his head, "The lord is the parent official here, so naturally everything is ordered by the lord."
"Hahaha" Duan Ye waved his hand, "Although our Jincheng County is not rich in resources, the business roads leading to Hehuang, Tuyuhun, and Hexi South Road just happened to pass through here, and the business trips are actually also
Many"
Jiao Meng thought about it and realized it immediately. He laughed and said, "That's right, hehe, so many businessmen buy and sell at a low price, earning countless hard-earned money from the people, passing through the land of the adults,
They have protected their safety, so of course they should pay more taxes to adults.”
"No, it's not the meaning," Duan Ye explained, "On the contrary, I thought that in the past, the Qifu Department had imposed such heavy taxes. Although the tax rate was high, many caravans would rather choose to detour from a long way. This was a fishing place in the dry pond. It was not at all.
Good idea”
"What does that mean by sir?"
"I think it's better to light the tax rate and encourage merchants. In this way, although the tax rate seems to be low, there are more taxes that can be collected, and it can also allow those merchants to promote the development of our Jincheng County!"
"develop?"
Seeing Jiao Meng's face was confused, Duan Ye remembered that some modern vocabulary were normal for people not to understand, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Jiao, how many teahouses and restaurants are available in our Warriors Fort?"
"Well, there are more than fifty teahouses and more wine shops. The weather here is a little bitter and cold, and there are many heroic people who like to drink to keep the cold."
"If I reduce the current tax by two-thirds, how many businessmen would you say?" Duan Ye asked.
"I guess there will be three or four times more business travelers." Jiao Meng is also a veteran in the business world. Naturally, he also knows the importance of tax cuts. He also knows that if various levels here are removed and Lijin is less, how many horse-driving businessmen will change their way here.
"Then tell me, if so many businessmen come, can the original winery and teahouse be received? Not enough, if these people come to our Warriors Fort, do you have to relax? Do you want to bet on some money?
,Where are you playing with a woman?" Duan Ye said with a smile
Jiao Meng seems to understand
If this is true, the population between Warriors Castle will be at least several times larger. In that case, it will naturally require a lot of teahouses, wineries, casinos, brothels, and these alone will be levied a lot of new taxes! Moreover, there are more merchants,
Although the tax rate is low, the more merchants, the more goods they are. In fact, the taxes they receive will only be more, not less
Speaking of this, tax cuts are actually the real increase in income!
In Jiao Meng's past understanding, he actually would not and could not have thought of this. In his opinion, increasing the tax rate would increase, which means that the ruler levies heavy taxes. If the tax rate is reduced by light taxes and taxes, it means that he would rather be himself
Have less money on your hands, and you have to take care of the public
However, from Duan Ye's description, it is obvious that tax cuts can increase tax revenue. Although Jiao Meng still felt that he still couldn't understand some things, but at least he would have to take them first.
I know
In fact, tax cuts are a profound fiscal policy in later generations, because the reason is very simple. Once you reduce taxes, you can easily stimulate production and consumption. I also know that if the tax rate is too high, for example, 100%, see
Get up, you are taxing all your income, but you can't actually receive taxes, because when you pay all your income as taxes, people will feel that they have paid so much but they can't get anything.
Since you definitely can't get it, it's better not to do it. So in this case, producers are unwilling to produce, and investors are even more unwilling to invest.
Of course, when the tax is zero, the ruler cannot collect taxes, so no matter what, proportional taxes are still required, otherwise how will the ruler rule? However, later generations can prove from a mathematical perspective that if the tax rate is appropriately reduced,
You can expand the tax base and receive more taxes. And, through tax cuts, you can give people greater stimulation, prompting people to work harder, invest more, invent and create better, and be braver to bear.
Risk, dare to consume more, and is more conducive to the efficiency of capital flow
In this way, a virtuous cycle can be formed, because these behaviors of people will effectively improve production efficiency, effectively enhance economic strength, effectively reduce inflation, effectively renew and increase employment due to economic development
However, for Jiao Meng, he had never learned economics, and he didn't need to understand these things. He only knew that Master Duan, who was still a little doubtful at the beginning, had taught him a lesson. Such a simple truth, at least he himself
, I have never read it from the book, nor have I heard from my predecessors say that today is the first time I heard it from Duan Ye, but everything is so natural, so of course
Jiao Meng admired this very much, and was convinced. Now, he also understood why Duan Ye was able to become the prefect of Dunhuang at a young age and commanded the army of tens of thousands.
Duan Ye continued, "Mr. Jiao, there is actually another point. Think about it, if there are so many more wineries, teahouses, brothels and casinos, then waiters, cooks, prostitutes, errands, vegetables, growers
How many people will have the opportunity to find their own bowl of rice? These people may not be able to support themselves in the past, but now they can support themselves. They may have lived a hard life in the past, but now they can fill it in.
What a great merit to fill your stomach.”
Jiao Meng was stunned. He didn't think of this at first. It was normal. People who have not received economics training could not know how important it is.
But Jiao Meng is a person who has been in the business world for many years. These things can be understood at one point and at one point. If so many people can support themselves and have a taste of food, on the one hand, it will definitely be beneficial to Warriors Fort.
They will also be grateful for Duan Ye’s kindness, but more importantly, how much more can the poll tax be charged?
It seems that Master Duan is really amazing. He knows the principles of long-lasting water and knows how to teach people the secrets of fishing and then closing the net. Few people in the world can think of it.
But what Jiao Meng wondered was that since this Lord Duan was so good at making money, why did he still do something with him? What did he want to get from him?
Instead of going around here again, it is better to spread it out and say, Jiao Meng owed his body, saying, "Jiu Meng admires this great ambition of his lord. Although Jiao Meng is over 60 years old, he is willing to do it for the sake of his adults.
This career is a pawn. If you have anything to do with Jiao Meng, no matter whether you are paying money or effort, Jiao Meng will spare no effort!"
"Hahahaha" Duan Ye smiled and clapped his hands, and even applauded, but Jiao Meng's heart skipped a beat whenever he slapped. He had heard that some officials wanted money because of the clapping sound.
One moment, but one hundred thousand dollars!
Heaven and earth, don't have more than 500,000 yuan. Jiao Meng silently prayed to all gods and Buddhas in his heart.
