Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 345 New Labor Management and Taxation System
The recruitment boom in Shanyang suddenly broke out, and it seems to be out of control. The deposits of several people in Shanyang cabinets are huge, at least 3000 million or more. Once they get rich, the common people will be afraid.

However, in order to maintain order in the labor market and prevent applicants from being fooled by the vicious competition of these aristocratic families, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate had no choice but to introduce a labor protection law.

What is unexpected is that the promulgation of this law has not encountered any opposition from anyone. In fact, this is calling for a stop to the several big families who are caught in vicious competition. They can't wait for it!

In just two days, they raised the monthly salary of an ordinary farmer to more than [-] yuan. This is already very unreasonable, but in order not to be monopolized by their opponents in the labor market, they have to continue to fight. If no one calls If it stops, this matter will continue.

The first article of the Labor Law stipulates that the employer must sign a labor agreement with the employee according to the negotiated monthly salary, which can be signed for half a year, one year, two years, or three years.

If the employee wants to leave within the agreed time, he can resign early, but the employer cannot dismiss the employee at will, otherwise he will face compensation.

This is to prevent employers from recruiting people, and then driving them away after a few days, using various means without paying wages.

According to this regulation, after the workers are recruited, they must be paid to support them, take care of food and housing, and pay the agreed salary. With the current monthly salary of [-] Wen, plus board and lodging, the children of the aristocratic family They invest at least forty guan in a hired worker every year, but can they produce forty guan in profit every year?
You know, after the second season of Jiangnan's grain was delivered to Shanyang, the price of rice in Shanyang is now only 120 pennies a stone. Affected by this, the prices of all food commodities are decreasing, that is to say, including grain and For the cost of other farm tool wear and tear, a hired worker must plant more than [-] shi of rice a year for them to recover the cost of [-] guan.

But even to grow Champa rice in the south of the Yangtze River, each person has to plant more than [-] mu per season, three seasons a year, to produce so much food, can one person grow fifty mu of rice, three seasons a year?
The answer is no.

In the north, without the planting conditions in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be even more impossible to do so. That is to say, they are destined to lose money if they recruit people at this salary.

Sun Xiangfu used this labor protection law to stop several big families from raising prices. It was too late for them to be grateful to Sun Xiangfu!How can you object!

Then, Sun Xiangfu took advantage of this momentum and quickly set up an employment security office, so that all people who have employment relationships in the Northland must go to this office to sign labor agreements, pay taxes, and labor agreements according to their salaries. The entry into force, or termination, must go through the formalities in this office.

Since after signing the agreement, only the salaried laborers pay personal income tax to the government, and the employer does not have to pay, this regulation can be easily implemented, because ordinary people have no qualifications to say no to the law.

And if the employer does not sign a labor agreement with the employee, it is an illegal employee. Once found out, he will be severely punished. Therefore, all individuals, families, and workshops that need to recruit workers will not object to signing a labor agreement, because After signing the agreement, they don't have to pay taxes, and if they don't sign the agreement, they may face heavy fines. Of course, it's good to sign.

"Governor, why did you set up such a cumbersome management system? Now, tens of thousands of people in the workshops everywhere have to make this kind of labor agreement. The yamen is too busy."

In Chu Suiliang's view, it is good to have morality to restrain the simple people. Using these agreements to restrain them will make them only pay attention to agreements and disregard morality. He does not know that agreements are often used to restrain moral decline. People with real morality, it doesn’t matter whether they have an agreement or not.

"It's better to be busy now than to have troubles in the future. We need to take a long-term view of governance. Now the people in the Northland farm less, but more and more workers. In addition, the largest tax category, taking advantage of the current industrial scale is not large, to improve its system as soon as possible, in order to face greater challenges.

In addition, don't underestimate the labor agreement and taxation system, which need to be handled by household registration. After it is fully implemented, the security of our Datang will be much better...
Moreover, it becomes easier for us to investigate a person at ordinary times. Take a look at his work records and tax payment records, and you will know whether he is a decent person or a vagrant..."

In ancient times, rangers have always been a very unstable factor in society. Since there are no surveillance videos, ID cards, photos and other things, it is easy for criminals to evade legal sanctions after committing a crime.

But now, the citizenship system is about to be fully implemented, so the population flow in the whole society will become more frequent, and it is easy to breed crimes such as stealing, robbing, and cheating. How to effectively crack down on such criminals requires starting from the Starting from all aspects, the first thing is to make a person's household registration more important.

If in the future, household registration is required for customs clearance, employment, etc., those who originally wanted to report fluke crimes should think twice.

Once reported by the victim and wanted by the government, his household registration will not be able to cross the state, and the scope of activities will be compressed within a state capital. Moreover, he will not be able to work or farm for a living, so he will soon change. Poor and destitute, exposed whereabouts.

After Sun Xiangfu explained all these aspects to Chu Suiliang, he took it seriously. Of course, its most critical role is to protect the rights and interests of the people at the bottom. This employment security office is not only a tax collection agency, It is also an institution for resolving labor disputes. If the employer or the hired party has any rights violated or any disputes arise, they can come here to file a complaint. It will be responsible for the trial, investigation, and processing. With it, you can Guarantee the operation of the entire labor system.

Sun Xiangfu accidentally saw Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling coming in incognito outside the yamen of the office.

So, he told Chu Suiliang what he just said to them again. After listening, both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling felt that this system must be implemented throughout the Tang Dynasty in the future, because it can indeed It is very good to promote local management and strengthen taxation.

You know, in ancient times, tax collection was a very large and difficult business. In the past, agricultural tax has always been the big one, because where the land is, people have to grow it, so your tax can’t escape. Well, it is best to collect this kind of tax that cannot be escaped. Of course, the government is tight to collect here.

The rest, such as industrial and commercial taxes, are not easy to collect. The workers go to help others, and the salary will not be reported to the court at all. The court will not know how many days a worker has worked in a year, how much income, tax There is no way to talk about the standard. Generally, they are recruited every year to help the court with some work, and then the tax is deducted.

And this method of signing a labor agreement, according to the agreed salary, and self-declaration of taxes can solve the problem of workers' taxation. In this way, after the imperial court implemented the citizenship system, the concerns of the princes about taxation were relieved.Because, judging from the situation in Guanzhong, many people in poor areas have chosen to abandon farming and go to work. This is the main reason for the reduction in agricultural taxes.

And the reason why they abandon farming and go to work is precisely because the fields they planted do not produce much and cannot help them achieve prosperity. Instead, they go to work for others, but they can get a good salary. The tens of thousands of laborers were originally from the poorest villages in Guanzhong. In the original fields, they were planted to the death, and at most they would not be starved to death. Now they go to the construction site to work as construction workers. Keep it under control, and you can still get the consistent money, so who wants to go back to farming?
This is another great benefit of the implementation of the citizenship system. It will allow the common people to adjust their employment according to the actual situation, and will not frame everyone to farm on a piece of land like before. Some land is really barren. You No matter how it is planted, the output will not be large, which will make the people of this place poor generation after generation.

This kind of phenomenon existed in large numbers all over the country in the Tang Dynasty. In an era when the government had the final say on what to plant in the fields, the common people had no right to choose at all.

Now, if Guanzhong also implements this set of tax policies like Shanyang, what the imperial court lost in agricultural taxes can be made up for in labor taxes.

Seeing a very perfect solution to the tax problem, Li Shimin almost forgot what he wanted to talk to Sun Xiangfu. When Xu Jingzong came to the Yamen to report to Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin remembered to ask Sun Xiangfu. What kind of regulations are the opening ceremony of the so-called military competition.

"Your Majesty, I plan to delay the departure of Governor Xu's trip to Tai'an City until ten days later, because the Hu merchant team from the Western Regions and Prince Qu Zhisheng of Gaochang all want to go with him, so we just took this opportunity to invite them to watch the opening ceremony. As well as the competition a few days ago, let them spread some news to the Western Regions that Dingxiang will hold the No. People come to participate in the competition, only if more people are willing to come to our Datang, the economy of our Datang will be more prosperous."

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt that it was reliable, and then said, "Since we keep them for a few more days, we can't let them suffer in vain. During the competition, send them some melon and fruit snacks from your Northland specialties. I know that the melons and fruits grown in your new fields in Beidi are better than those in the ripe fields in Guanzhong."

Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu could hear the sourness in Li Shimin's tone.There is no way to be jealous!The land in the Hetao area is fertile and the humus layer is deep, which is not comparable to the land in Guanzhong that has been cultivated for thousands of years. This is not because he has hidden any secrets in planting techniques.

In the first ten days of August, the crops of melons and fruits began to mature and harvest. Every day, a large number of fresh melons and fruits were brought to the shops in the city for sale. Before Li Shimin came to the Yamen, he bought a few pieces along the street to eat. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the melons and fruits are generally sweeter than those grown in Guanzhong. Fortunately, the melons and fruits here mature late. At this time, the melons and fruits in Guanzhong have already eaten the season.Otherwise, Li Shimin was worried that the melons and fruits in Guanzhong would be hit by the melons and fruits in Beidi and become unsalable.

What annoys him more is the cotton production. The cotton crops in the Northland grow as big as a small tree, and the cotton bolls are obviously much more than the cotton crops in Guanzhong. This is also cotton. How can there be such a big gap? ?
Sun Xiangfu felt that he had to explain this matter, otherwise, it would be bad if he was really misunderstood, and said, "Your Majesty, now you can see the gap between the barren land and the fertile land! According to Yichen, the people in Guanzhong The land should be retired on a larger scale for recuperation, leaving more space for our future generations.”

When Sun Xiangfu talked about future generations, it reminded Li Shimin of something that Sun Deshou came to the Sun's mansion today, and then told him that Sun Deshou was finally busy with the blueberry seedlings in the nursery, and Yu Xiuer was sent from Chang'an A letter from him is now in the Sun residence.
