Destiny Only Han

Chapter 593 Liu Ying: Borrowing melons to offer Buddha...

In Liu Bang's silence, Liu Ying thought a lot.

For example, in the later Ming Dynasty, the decadent statues at the end of the dynasty were actually created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the dynasty.

Old Zhu started from scratch and was in charge of the common people, so he took money very seriously. He never spent money when he could not spend it, and spent less where he could spend less, especially when the land rent and tax were not set high. Enough for the country to use for a year...

But the crux of the problem is that when the country grows, there are always some natural and man-made disasters, foreign invasions and other things waiting to be used for money.

Therefore, there are three rates, that is, the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes allocated temporarily such as Liao rate, suppression rate and training rate.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty creatively used 'Huabei' at the national level!
For example, the money spent this year will be paid in IOUs first, and will be accounted for at the end of the year, and then allocated to the health offices of the capitals, prefectures and counties of each province, and the tax will be increased next year!
In this way, there is money to pay off the previous year's bills.

However, this is still the previous problem. What if the tax balance in the second year not only fails to repay the money owed in the first year, but then spends more than it?

The answer is, of course, no problem, of course, the card is supported by the card, bah, it is owed first, and the tax will be increased again in the next year!
Well, as for whether the tax increase in the next year can pay off the arrears, it is not within the scope of consideration in that year...

This is the reason why the miraculous millions of taels of arrears in Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty were born...

"Tax collection is not about as little as possible, but just right... Is the purpose of tax collection? It is to take from the people and use it to the people."

In Liu Bang's silence, Liu Ying continued:

"And in order to achieve this, it is necessary to collect all the taxes that should be collected, and tax evasion and evasion are absolutely not tolerated! This point, Jixiang has been working hard for these years, and will wait until next year to recruit [-] more tax collectors."

"Another one is to put an end to corruption. Anyway, the lieutenant of the guard army is idle, so let him form a team to monitor officials all over the world..."

Hearing Liu Ying's suggestion, Liu Bang nodded lightly: "Shuo Shu Shuo Shu, I have no food...Okay, very good, let's do it like this!"

Jinyiwei, Xiuchundao, Feiyufu... Liu Ying raised her eyebrows and said with some pride:
"Look, Dad, we just talked about it casually, and the court's expenditure has increased again... so the tax cuts should be exempted. Let me say, Dad, if you really want to lighten the burden on the people, you might as well Consider considering the poll tax, which is to reduce or exempt the tax."

Well, Suanfu is a kind of poll tax set by Shang Yang. It is collected as a military tax, and the purpose is naturally to build chariots and weapons and prepare for the annexation of the world.

After all, Jiujiu Laoqin, restore my country...

When Liu Bang entered the customs, Jiujiu Lao Qin banned this tax when he welcomed Pei Gong, but later, as the war with Xiang Yu became fierce, a lot of money was needed, so Xiao He revised Qin Law and redid "Han Law Nine "Chapter", the calculation was added.

The law stipulates that from the age of 56 to 120 years old, [-] yuan per person is counted as a tax, which is counted as a tax. It is collected every autumn, that is, in August.

Liu Bang thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

In fact, he was not greedy for money, but during this period, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the main income of the country was supported by this kind of poll tax, that is, the Shedi taxpayer.

Therefore, the reduction or exemption of land rent will still affect the normal operation of the government. If such a pillar tax is rashly used, it may cause unknowable and disastrous consequences!
The corner of Liu Ying's mouth raised slightly:

"I know what you're worried about, Father! So, let's just increase the tax! Increase the land rent tax to one of the twelve taxes, so that the overall tax revenue will not be affected, and then a part of the poll tax will be reduced!"

Under Liu Ying's non-surprising words, Liu Bang finally collapsed, closed his eyes and pointed to the gate of the palace.

What he meant was very simple.

"Go away!"

Liu Ying stood up, stunned for a moment, then quickly walked around to the other side of Liu Bang's body, picked up the remaining half of iced watermelon and ran, letting Liu Bang hop around behind without looking back...

Well, even if he immediately put other watermelons in ice cubes to cool down, it would take at least a few hours to cool down, so the half icemelon beside Liu Bang is particularly important!
For this reason, if you are scolded twice, you will be scolded twice...

..............................

On the covered bridge leading to Weiyang Palace, Liu Ying had her hands behind her back, and behind her was Bank of China who was holding an icemelon.

The land tax increase that he seemed to say jokingly was actually his sincerity.

This is not just to restrain the powerful. After all, when the agricultural tax is reduced, whoever has more land will benefit more, and vice versa, whoever has more land will lose more.

The tax increase is actually to accelerate the bankruptcy of the poor and lower-middle peasants!

This is the inspiration Liu Ying got when playing "Victoria", aiming to turn bankrupt farmers into workers, and then drive the rapid economic development.

Well, it's like 'sheep eat man', the UK's economy is starting to grow by leaps and bounds...

But Liu Bang disagreed, and Liu Ying was not surprised.

After all, tax increases will cause some social turmoil, although Liu Ying is sure that the turmoil will be minimized as much as possible!
This is because in the next year or two, as more and more steam engines are built, coupled with the use of explosives for mining, the production method of the metallurgical industry will change from the previous family workshop to a real factory!
In this way, no amount of labor is enough to swallow up the bottomless pit of the factory!

When the bankrupt peasants entered the factory after [-], social turmoil naturally ceased to exist...

But there is no rush for this matter, just take your time.

But another matter is extremely urgent!
"Hurry up, the watermelon won't taste good when it's hot!"

Liu Ying turned around and roared, lifted the hem of her clothes and started to run. It was difficult for ordinary people carrying half a frozen watermelon to keep up with Liu Ying, but it was relatively easy for Bank of China.

The Bank of China said that it has received special training. When the body is bent at [-] degrees, the hands are stretched forward, holding a cup of tea, and the tea is not spilled!
Therefore, even though Liu Ying started to run, the Bank of China said it was like stepping on a pulley, and was always about two meters behind Liu Ying. Although the cut watermelon on the tray in her hand was swaying from side to side, not even a piece of it fell down!
This is called professionalism!

....................................

Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace.

Sipping herbal tea, Lu Zhi, who was approving the expenses in this month's palace, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from far to near, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

She was very familiar with the sound of these footsteps, it was the sound of Liu Ying's footsteps trampled on the ground by her own hands.

"Mom, eat melon!"

As Liu Ying walked in, the ledger in front of Lu Zhi was removed, and a plate of steaming watermelon was placed on the table.

"Where did you get the melon?"

"I stole it from my father, and specially brought it to honor my mother!"

"Well, sweet... so sweet!"
