Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 48 The Queen Mother is immortal (48)

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jianyuan discussed some details with Bai Sheng, and finally reached a tacit understanding, and decided on a detailed tax law reform plan, preparing to start with commercial taxation first. After all, businessmen are best bullied, and collusion between government and business is not very serious nowadays. In addition, Bai Sheng, the Queen Mother, is willing to abide by the rules and pay high business taxes.

Emperor Jianyuan's young manor would follow suit when he turned around.

No one is qualified to raise objections.

As for the apportionment of people into acres, they knew without thinking that there would be a large number of officials from various princes who would oppose it. Although relying on the three armies and the Yulin Army built by Emperor Jianyuan himself should be enough to force the implementation, if a war breaks out as a result, the ones who will be injured will still be injured. civilians and innocent soldiers.

Therefore, Bai Sheng and Emperor Jianyuan agreed that there was no rush for the time being and that Wei Qing and others would be sent to fight the Huns next year. It would be best to achieve a great victory, and then use the military power of the great victory to forcibly share the land. Even if there are still dissatisfied officials from various princes, most of them should not dare to make any move. After all, the original Dagan was always beaten by the Huns. Now that Emperor Jianyuan has an army capable of beating the Huns, can he still be unable to suppress them? ?
  Compared with the loss of seeking death, most people can still accept the loss.

Although the tax law reform plan and the plan to first reform the commercial tax have been finalized, some more detailed content, such as the level below which the monthly income can be exempted from paying tax, and the level above which the monthly income will start to be taxed, and the percentage will be charged. How many levels are there, how to divide the ladder, and how to specifically collect taxes, these all need to be further discussed.

Bai Sheng is blind. Although he can also participate in the discussion, he undoubtedly consumes more energy than others.

So she ended up just giving some guidance.

Make sure they stay on track.

Other detailed rules and standards were finally determined after more than a month of negotiations between Emperor Jianyuan and officials specializing in tax collection, including the prime minister and other important ministers.

And then of course comes the official launch.

And Bai Sheng specially sent people to cooperate very well, and performed a business tax report of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager at the court meeting.

40% of the net profit will be paid directly according to the maximum amount.

A total of 670,000 yuan was included in the national treasury.

At the same time, after more than a month of preparation, the Shaofu finally cleared the account books and also included 40% of the business income, 100,000 yuan, into the national treasury.

There is a clear distinction between Daqian's income. For example, all land rent income and calculated taxes are returned to the treasury. Generally speaking, the emperor is not qualified to use them at will, but oral taxes and some fees for the use of mountains and rivers belong to the Shaofu. The Shaofu is actually equivalent to the emperor's personal butler, and their income is the emperor's internal funds.

The two do not interfere with each other. When necessary, the emperor may even need to use the money of the Shaofu to support the national treasury.

Now so much money goes directly into the national treasury.

It can be said that the money in the treasury was suddenly full. Emperor Jianyuan did not need to pay from his own funds the next time he attacked the Xiongnu. The money in the treasury was enough.

Once both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have paid taxes according to the latest commercial tax, this matter has set the tone, that is, no one can escape, and all business activities must be paid according to the latest commercial tax. , the princes and princes and kings are no exception, no matter how big they are.

Can it still be greater than the emperor and the empress dowager?

Immediately afterwards, the entire Daqian Empire began a massive tax refund and tax collection process, refunding the taxes previously collected by some small traders, and recalculating the tax rates for large merchants, after deducting the taxes originally paid. Ask them to pay back taxes according to the new law.

The process will definitely not be smooth sailing. Some people resist, while others treat it negatively or deliberately conceal it.

There are also flaws in the operations of officials.

For example, some taxes are not refunded in full, and some tax collectors engage in extortion. These are deep-rooted diseases that will not be completely solved in thousands of years, let alone now. It can only be said that there is no solution nationwide. What a big problem, the overall situation has stabilized.

At the same time, a lot of business taxes were collected. Those business taxes are enough to fight the Huns two or three more times.

And if nothing happens, he will be able to earn so much more income every year in the future. After defeating the Huns, he will even have the money to build cities, move people, and expand the territory.

With the huge tax revenue arriving, Emperor Jianyuan was of course vigorously preparing for another crusade against the Xiongnu.

Bai Sheng, on the other hand, officially expanded the Chamber of Commerce to the Western Regions, following the path that Zhang Qian took on his first mission to the Western Regions. In order to protect the caravan, she also mobilized 10,000 elite soldiers. People who know her understand that she was just worried that the Western Region would not be that safe and did not want too many casualties. Those who didn't know better thought she was going to the Western Expedition.

In addition, Bai Sheng also started building ships on a large scale, not preparing to open up the Maritime Silk Road.

Mainly I want to collect some new species.

By the way, the nearby gold and silver mines were collected.

There are not many gold and silver mines in Daqian, and even if there are, they are not the kind that are easy to mine. Most of them are poor ores, and more are mined from outside, whether they are stored as precious metals, or forged into money to join the ranks of currency circulation.

There are only advantages and no disadvantages.

After all, gold and silver itself has value, and most countries recognize it, so even if the quantity is too large, it will have little impact.

At least it is not as big an impact as the over-issuance of credit currency.

So there is absolutely no harm in trying to dig up more gold and silver and transport it back. If the amount of gold and silver is large enough in the future, maybe we can build a global monetary system.

The second half of the twelfth year of Jianyuan passed by in a hurry. The only interlude was the wedding of Bai Sheng's granddaughter Chen Ajiao and Wei Qing. Their relationship after marriage seemed to be okay, at least in Bai Sheng's view. There was no conflict between the two, and Ajiao Chen was also very happy.

I started actively preparing for pregnancy the day after my wedding.

Obviously, she might really be preparing to compete with her cousin Liu Che to see who could give birth to a son.

Unfortunately she was destined to be disappointed.

Because by March of the following year, although she was successfully pregnant and was three months old, Wei Zifu's fourth child had already been born in March, and she also gave birth to another child, which made Emperor Jianyuan extremely happy. son.

As soon as the child was born, the laughter in Weiyang Palace never stopped. Immediately afterwards, rewards from the Queen Mother and Bai Sheng were delivered to Wei Zifu like a flowing stream. At the same time, Emperor Jianyuan asked people to prepare ancestor worship supplies, and It was a decree to grant amnesty to the world, which was almost to say that he was very happy.

As the news spread outside the palace.

Many ministers were also very happy.

Before that, those ministers were worried that Emperor Jianyuan would have no heirs, and would even need to adopt someone else's heir. Now that they have a biological son, they are of course very happy that the Daqian Empire has an heir.

From then on, the country's foundation was stable.

The only one who is more depressed is probably Chen Ajiao. Unexpectedly, she was still a step too late, but at least she cleared up the rumors of her infertility. No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, others can no longer say that she is infertile.
