The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 254 Tax Reform Plan
The tax calculation method of Kunwu City is relatively backward, and the poll tax is still used to let everyone in the city pay a fixed tax on a regular basis. It seems fair, but in fact it means that the rich and the poor pay the same tax.

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

The steward of Qionghua Pavilion had heard of the commercial tax, but due to the complicated implementation, he never promoted it in Kunwu City and asked Tang Yue, "How to calculate the commercial tax?"

"Kunwu City is rich, and it is appropriate to tax merchants' goods at [-]%. In this way, more money can be collected than when poll tax was collected before. In addition, basic food is exempted from tax, so that ordinary people can be protected. The main people who pay taxes are the richer monks in Kunwu City, and big families with rich wealth should bear more taxes."

After hearing this taxation method, everyone felt some admiration, but also some worries, "This method is indeed good. It 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."

"It's inevitable that they will stop them. It will affect some business transactions in the city. At that time, we can use the business of Qionghua Pavilion to make up for it. That's why Brother Wei and I insist on developing Qionghua Pavilion's self-operated business. In addition to the recent taxes, Should be able to do a lot.”

All the stewards are amazed, the young pavilion master is really going to do something big, and he will definitely not be able to live in peace for the next two months.

The stewards looked at each other in blank dismay, and some showed hesitation and dared not speak.This is also an opportunity to test the managers, marginalize some who are not firm in their thinking, and promote some aggressive newcomers.

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. The draft must be drawn up as soon as possible. It must be faster than the other party, so that the aristocratic family will be unprepared before they can get it. victory.

At nightfall, several stewards left Qionghua Pavilion, avoided the crowd, and walked quietly to the mansions of several big families in the city.These families were very anxious after getting the news, and hurriedly went to find the master of Zixiao Mansion, hoping that he could take the lead in protesting to the city lord.

She never denies the value of poetry, and often reads those powerful poems of her predecessors, which contain a lot of leisure, and even experience in cultivation.

He was also distracted by Tang Yue's actions. He forgot that tax reform is easy, but it is very difficult to collect taxes. A little carelessness will arouse public resentment, and Tang Wenhua will stop her, and Don't worry too much about yourself.

Of course, they will also cultivate seriously, and they are not the kind of young ladies who are pampered at home and cannot go out in mortal society, but just like Dongfang Xue, everything is planned for them, and they don't need to worry too much.

Tang Yue looked at the post, changed some people she didn't know, and rejected it outright.

The big families in the city couldn't wait, 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 someone out.

In addition, she recuperated at home and stayed behind closed doors, so she had less contact with the circle of noble women in Kunwu City.

Tang Wan was thoughtful, "Maybe it's because the Meng family had a feud with Tang Yue, so she has a grudge in her heart and won't accept your post."

Cao Yanjun thought about it, but he couldn't think of a good solution. He couldn't be too anxious in front of the city lord. In the past, the city lord took the initiative to seek his help to suppress Shui Yingrou.

The monks of each social class have their own circles, those in power have their own circles, and those in business have their own circles. Even the hidden families have to connect with each other and form a group.

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

Tang Wan didn't refute, it's good to let them think so, but she still asked, "Why did you suddenly invite Tang Yue to your family?"

The noble daughter of the Meng family was a little angry after being rejected. Miss Meng asked her, "Why did Lingmei reject our invitation? In the past, we would lose our temper for several days if we didn't invite her. Today Are you trying to get revenge on us?"

On the contrary, many noble women are not as good as those female cultivators who come from ordinary backgrounds and can only rely on themselves. They have made great achievements in the world of cultivating immortals, and the number of ascensions is also quite large.

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

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

"That's obviously her fault, our Meng family didn't say anything, how dare you blame us?"

A lady sneered, "Everything is done with the help of the steward in the pavilion, why is she pretending?"

Tang Wan smiled helplessly, "Sister, she is taking charge of Qionghua Pavilion recently, so she doesn't have time." And she can only build a good relationship with these noble girls here.

Ladies don't want to discuss Tang Yue's strengths. The people who were once looked down upon are now so outstanding, doesn't that prove that they are blind?

The letter from Xuanjian City also came. They advised Cao Yanjun not to stop the tax reform, but even to promote it. Cao Yanjun thought about it carefully and felt that what the letter said made sense.

However, when Tang Yue heard about the poetry meeting, she rejected it. She is so busy, she still doesn't know how to write poetry, so how can she have time to enjoy it?

The wives think that Miss Tang Er is a girl, even if she is stronger, she should like to get along with her peers, and like to attend gatherings with young talents. It just so happens that there is a poetry meeting to be held recently, so they asked their daughters to post, invite her to
Tang Yue used to be unpopular, pampered and self-willed, everyone liked Tang Wan more, secretly excluded her, and rarely received invitations to gatherings in the city.

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

Those young ladies received the task at home, thinking that this matter is very simple, as long as they post a post to Tang Yue, she will definitely agree, and then she will be more flattering, and maybe she can take advantage of it.

They also couldn't figure out this question, and Ms. Meng said, "I don't know, maybe someone has taken a fancy to Tang Yue. She was admitted to the Wuji Mountain Academy, and her status has increased."

People's thinking is limited by their own conditions and environment, and they tend to speculate and evaluate things they don't understand. Compared with ordinary monks, they have fewer opportunities to get in touch with the affairs of the city. Of course, they can't understand what Tang Yue has done and what he has to do thing.

Precisely because of the bad habit of emphasizing the value of women's marriage in the world of immortality, many noble women who are originally talented and have good cultivation resources put cultivation in the second place, causing their Taoism to be unstable. The second half of the promotion is getting more and more difficult.

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

What's more, the family's expectation for them is to exploit the circle, obtain valuable contacts, and then marry and marry when the time comes to bring benefits to the family. It is also a very suitable arrangement for them themselves.

As a last resort, he wrote a letter to the people of Xuanyuan Mountain, seeking their help. Presumably Xuanyuan Mountain would not agree to Tang Yue being the young city lord.

A few people felt that what he said made sense, so they changed the sisters who were always good people to post, thinking that this should be able to complete the family tasks.

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

Tang Yue smiled slightly, and asked people to release the news that the city was going to reform taxes to benefit the people, and explained that the purpose of this move was to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in the city, so that the people could live a more secure life.

She also published her own articles in major newspapers and magazines, which not only caused discussions in Kunwu City, but people in other cities also paid attention to this matter and expressed their opinions one after another.

The dispute over commercial tax has existed in the world of cultivators for a long time. Some people think it is a good thing, while some people are against it. Those who agree or disagree just took this opportunity to influence the situation, and soon pushed the issue of tax reform to the highest level in Liuzhou Continent. A hot topic, whether it is a monk or an ordinary person, has to express a few opinions.
