Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 341 Difficulties
He took out a written report and handed it to Shen Sanwen.

There are four words written on the cover, "Tax Reform".

"Would it be more appropriate to show this to the princess?" Shen San asked without flipping through it, but already knew what you wrote.

Cui Xuan said, "You take a look first, just to show you if there is any problem, you can't decide, I will definitely show it to others."

"Then, all right." Shen Sanwen thought for a while, then nodded.

If he didn't read it, who else in this big week can give Cui Xuan advice on this matter?
The Turkic tax system is already a simplified version, and Cui Xuan is a simplified version of the simplified version.

Because the Turks used to be nomadic peoples, many things were easy to arrange. The reform of the tax system in Dazhou has been in existence for thousands of years, and many of them were formulated based on reality. In general, the difficulty of making it may not be easier than that of education reform.

"Have you thought it through?" Shen San asked to confirm.

"kindness."

"Do you still have any feelings? How about Turkic?" Shen San asked again.

Many Turkic people are indeed much happier than people in Dazhou, but everyone is very nostalgic for their hometown, and the place where people stay the longest in memory will be people's favorite.

If there were not good temptation conditions, most people would choose to transform their hometown, or adapt to the rules.

Cui Xuan chose to change.

With so many reforms going on together, Shen Sanwen was really worried that the whole social system would collapse.

Some people are worried about education reform, some people are worried about tax system reform, and they will also offend the landlords, these vested interests today.

Together they are no small force.

Shen Sanwen thought about doing this, but not now.

Cui Xuan was willing to do this, and with his full help, it might be a lot easier.

I don't know when it started, the communication between the two became very concise, as if they could understand what the other party said.

Some invisible barriers.

Perhaps it started when Shen Sanwen had that dream and saw another powerful Cui Xuan.

Although after several confirmations, the change did not happen now, but he didn't like that kind of relationship, and he didn't want to see that kind of close friend.

If they can really fight together, these misunderstandings will surely be resolved.

Cui Xuan went to deal with his own affairs, and Shen San asked to open his memorial.

The first is the origin of the tax system.

At the beginning of the establishment of the country, the wealth of all people was gathered and handed over to a few capable people to take care of and distribute it, which acted on everyone. Slowly, the crowd was divided into those in power and ordinary people.

People in power are constantly changing, and ordinary people are relatively stable.

Due to the selfishness of those in power, wrong decisions, or changing social conditions, one day ordinary people cannot survive, so they are divided into small groups again, and which part of the people who win will elect a new person in power.

The goods they turn over are taxes.

It is used to solve problems that ordinary people cannot solve, and to control the power that can help.

Shen Sanwen was very surprised when he saw this exposition.

Not because he wrote about the origin and nature of taxes.

It was a change in his conception of the country.

There is a meaning expressed between the lines, people gather together for a better life.

When it comes to power, someone will always hold it. Who holds it cannot be decided by the majority, but it is always those who have the ability.

It wasn't like this before.

In the past, like most scholars, he recognized that the power of the monarchy was determined by God.

This is a person's progress.

If he can affect the whole world, that would be a big step for the whole human race.

Shen San asked to continue reading.

Tax status.

Everyone in the world seeks fairness. In any field, equal efforts and equal rewards are for fairness.The same is true for taxation. As citizens of the same country, they naturally desire to take equal responsibility and enjoy the same power.

However, the people have been suffering from taxes for a long time.

Qin, Han, Wei, Jin and Sui all died of taxes.

Agriculture, the source of food and clothing.However, there are thousands of dawns, hard work, and no relief.

Merchants have hated it since ancient times, but after traveling long distances or accumulating their ancestral fortunes, they can gain overnight, which is beyond the reach of all people.

The same tax for the people and the business is not harmful to the business, but it is very difficult to the people.

There is no greater injustice in the world than this.

Cui Xuan also gave an analysis.

Although businessmen have nothing to do in front of officials, they can use money to make friends with officials, know a lot of information in advance, and avoid many disasters.

Farmers are a vulnerable group and can only rely on the state. If the state imposes taxes on them so that they cannot survive, then a country is in danger.

Businessmen take the main wealth from society without paying taxes. These people have more wealth and the state protects more things, but it is unfair to make farmers bear the same responsibility.

In order to strengthen the country, business taxes must be collected, and population taxes must be banned at the same time to take good care of the people.

More work, more pay, more income and more taxes.In this way, the wealth of the society is balanced, so that the country has more money to support farmers, so that everyone can live a good life.

So far, it can be said that some are too radical.

Shen Sanwen never mentioned the tax reform because it was too big, much bigger than the education reform.

No one would be happy to really take money out of people's pockets.

Farmers who have been exempted have no right to speak.

Therefore, we can only start with education.

If ordinary peasants can read and write, can tell their situation, let more people know, or communicate the policies of different regions, and compare them, then they can know the problems of officials.

Of course, the condition is that the school teaches this, and they learn it.

In addition, the imperial court has to do things, and the real religious policy should be conveyed, instead of stopping in the ears of officials.

As for tax abolition, it is even more difficult.

None of the court officials would agree.

Dazhou is too big, and it is not easy to manage. The policy that has been followed for thousands of years is easy to manage, and the farmers also recognize it.

If it is canceled at this time, the revenue of the imperial court will drop sharply, the disposable income of various ministries will decrease, the departments may be paralyzed, and people will panic, causing a chain reaction.

Those businessmen will be very resistant to the new tax increase, and will try their best to evade taxes, using more money to bribe officials to avoid taxes.

Supervision is also troublesome.

These taxes may not necessarily go to the central government, and they may still be in the pockets of local officials.

Instead, it gave an excuse so that they could trouble the merchants.

For example, if the tax certificate is [-] for [-] taxes, the magistrate must sell it for [-] for [-] taxes, there is no way.

Maybe these businessmen have to be grateful to Dade, thinking that the magistrate will not sell it.

In a small autonomous place like Turkic with a small population, it can go smoothly, but in Dazhou, I am afraid that it will take another three to five years of struggle.

Finally, Cui Xuan also mentioned that these things should be done at the right time, so that these people can slowly accept these concepts.

Starting with education, it is very appropriate to cultivate these people's taxation concepts and the habit of asking for vouchers. When they grow up, the resistance to implementing these policies will be much smaller.

As for letting children irradiate adults, it is impossible.

For Cui Xuan's memorial, it seems that he really didn't intend to present it to the princess. I'm afraid it will have to wait for Li He to grow up to deal with it.
