The best little eunuch

Chapter 126
Chapter 126
"Master Feng is right. The commercial tax must be differentiated and cannot be generalized." Lin Feng said.Even the business tax of later generations is differentiated, ranging from 20.00% to [-]%.

"If taxes are set for each industry, I'm afraid it will not be completed in a short time." Feng Yuanji said, after all, there are many industries, and there are still a hundred lines. If all tax rates are set separately, it will be enough for Lin Feng. They have a headache.

"We don't need to make such a detailed division, just a general division. Although there will still be many industries in this way, we can still work out it after a few days of work." Lin Feng said.After all, no matter how many industries there are, many of them are very similar, and they can be classified as one industry.Such as tea houses and restaurants.Generally speaking, their customer groups are similar, and their incomes are not very different, so they can be classified into one category for tax collection.It is not necessary to collect and formulate tax rates separately.

"Even so, it will take some time to formulate." Feng Yuanji said: "I wonder if my lord can give an approximate range? After I go back, I can formulate the following detailed tax rates."

"According to different industries, the tax rate should be set between 20.00% tax and 5.00% tax." Lin Feng said, for some violent industries, it is not too much to levy [-]% tax, anyway, their income is high and profits are higher. A little more tax is fine.For those industries with low profits, a symbolic tax of [-]% is also acceptable.

"My lord, I will report to my lord after I go back and make a detailed plan." Feng Yuanji said and took all the officials of Beijiang away.

After Feng Yuanji left, Lin Feng approached Hu Dazhi and asked about his conscription this time.According to the discussion with Feng Yuanji and others, they decided to expropriate another 5000 people, and these people will be scattered in all the prefectures and counties of Beijiang.According to the size of the city, 100 to 500 people are arranged to deal with emergencies.

"Well, I think it's okay. In this way, you can start to recruit soldiers now. Go to those places that have suffered serious military disasters. These people have nowhere to depend on, and they will definitely be willing to serve as soldiers. After these people are recruited, they will be in the garrison. The battalion trained them, and then dispatched veterans to lead them, and dispatched some officers to be responsible for stationing in various cities." Lin Feng said to Hu Dazhi.

Although Hu Dazhi should understand what he said, Lin Feng still couldn't help but want to say it again.

"My lord, if a large number of people from the garrison battalion are transferred, the combat effectiveness of the garrison will be greatly reduced." Hu Dazhi said.Originally, he thought that he would only transfer officers, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng would also transfer veterans.

"No, veterans must be recruited." Lin Feng said: "The people recruited this time are all new recruits, and the training is insufficient. Veterans must take them with them. And after they are stationed in various places, they must be trained strictly. After all, in the shortest time form a fighting force within."

Although he was reluctant, Hu Dazhi still agreed. There was no other way. What Lin Feng said was the truth. If a group of soldiers with no combat experience and basically no training were sent to garrison in various places, he was really worried.

"My lord, don't worry. I will definitely send the most elite soldiers to lead these recruits, and strive to train them well as soon as possible, and it is best to add them to the garrison." Hu Dazhi said to Lin Feng.

"Your statement is very good. In this way, when assigning them to various cities, say that if they perform well, they can join the garrison, and tell them the treatment of the garrison, so that they can yearn for the garrison. " said Lin Feng.As long as these soldiers have something to pursue, they will train harder, otherwise, they will have no goals.

"Yes, my lord, I will explain to them." Hu Dazhi said.When Lin Feng said this, he also understood what it meant. It was to motivate the soldiers and make them train harder.Moreover, he would create the feeling that being in the Garrison was a great honor.Let those soldiers yearn for the garrison even more.

Wu Baoxing's work efficiency is still good, and he brought good news to Lin Feng in just two days.After his lobbying, Xu and Wang agreed to pay commercial tax, but in principle, it should not exceed one ten taxes.

"Commercial tax is formulated according to different industries. This cannot exceed the requirement of ten taxes and one tax. I cannot agree." Lin Feng said to Wu Baoxing.Most of the industries other than the Big Four are profiteering industries. If Lin Feng promised them that the tax rate should not exceed [-]%, then if the tax rate is set, how will it be implemented?Give them a separate offer?This is impossible!
"My lord, the imperial government currently imposes one tax on ten farmers. I don't think this requirement is too harsh." Wu Baoxing said to Lin Feng.Originally, he thought that Lin Feng would accept the condition he said, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to directly veto it.

"It's not a matter of being harsh or not. For the collection of commercial taxes, the Chief Minister's Office is currently formulating a corresponding tax rate. For some high-profit industries, relatively high taxes will definitely be charged, and those industries with low profits , the tax will be reduced. Only in this way can the interests of the merchants be guaranteed," Lin Feng explained.

Looking at Lin Feng, Wu Baoxing said: "My lord, you can't decide on such a small matter. How about this, after discussing with a few other members, I will give you an answer, okay?"

"Okay, tell the officials that as long as they take the lead in paying taxes, the imperial court will definitely not treat them badly." Lin Feng promised Wu Baoxing.After all, they had just extorted 200 million taels of silver from them, if Lin Feng didn't give them some sweets, it would be unreasonable.

"Thank you, my lord." Wu Baoxing said, "I will definitely explain to the other members."

Not long after Wu Baoxing left, Feng Yuanji came, bringing with them the fruits of their sleepless days.

"My lord, this is the issue of tax rates for various industries that we discussed, please make a decision." Feng Yuanji handed over the details of the tax rates that he had prepared to Lin Feng.

After receiving the detailed tax rate on commercial tax from Feng Yuanji, Lin Feng read it.In this detailed plan, Wu Baoxing roughly classified various industries and explained their tax rates by category.

Not only is there a detailed description, but even the profit of this industry and the monthly income of a shop are listed in detail.It can be seen from this that Feng Yuanji and the others put their heart into doing this.

"Your Majesty Feng has worked hard. I think this plan is feasible. However, the Xu and Wang families have not yet fully responded, so this plan has to wait for a while. After Wu Yuanwai convinces the Xu and Wang families, Make a decision." Lin Feng said to Feng Yuanji.

Nodding his head, Feng Yuanji said: "That's fine, let's go down to do the preparatory work."

"Alright, first of all, set up a special tax bureau, let's call it the Tax Bureau, directly under the Governor's Mansion." Lin Feng said to Feng Yuanji.The reason why the tax bureau is directly under the Governor's Mansion is not that Lin Feng doesn't trust Feng Yuanji, but that Lin Feng has his own plans.

He intends to firmly control the collection of commercial taxes at the center from the beginning, without letting the localities participate.The local government only assists the tax bureau in collecting commercial taxes, and the tax bureau is responsible for other collection of commercial taxes.This is because Lin Feng has learned the lessons from the past. Now that the imperial court cannot collect taxes, it is because the power of taxation is in the hands of the governor's yamen.But now that the imperial court is relatively weak, it is difficult to collect taxes from all over the country.

The separate tax bureau established by Lin Feng is directly under the Governor's Mansion and directly controlled by him, avoiding the intervention of local officials.Of course, in the current trial operation stage, Lin Feng will definitely let the chief envoy Si Yamen participate.However, once the tax bureau is on the right track, all tax work will be carried out by the tax bureau, and other yamen must not intervene.

Moreover, Lin Feng had another idea: maybe he could use the tax bureau to take back the power of tax collection by the local government step by step.As long as the local yamen have no power to collect taxes, their ability to resist the imperial court will be greatly reduced.

After all, without the support of money, it is undoubtedly a dream for them to fight against the imperial court.After all, without money, it is impossible to maintain the operation of the army, let alone other things.

Although he wondered why Lin Feng set up a new yamen alone, and it was still affiliated with the Governor's Mansion, Feng Yuanji still chose to accept Lin Feng's order.Without him, Lin Feng is not an ordinary governor. He is a governor with absolute power. As long as Lin Feng is willing, he can appoint and remove officials from the three provinces at will without the approval of the court.

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange for the staff of the tax bureau immediately, where can I choose?" Feng Yuanji asked.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng said: "The staff of the tax bureau are temporarily transferred from the chief envoy's office." The chief officer's office has its own tax collection agency, so naturally there are tax collectors.Therefore, in the absence of manpower, it can only be temporarily transferred from the chief envoy.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right now." Feng Yuanji said to Lin Feng.

Regarding the collection of commercial tax, it has not yet been implemented, but Yao Xing, who is far away in Jinling, wrote a letter to Lin Feng.This letter was originally written to the garrison camp, but because Lin Feng was away, it was transferred to Fengjiang Mansion.

In the letter, Yao Xing briefly reported to Lin Feng the development situation on his side. At present, his manpower is almost all over the Nanjiang province. These people are based on the original Ruan Linger's subordinates as the skeleton. of.

In the past, under the arrangement of Ruan Linger, Ruan Linger's subordinates went to the various prefectures and counties below to work as government servants. In this way, Lin Feng's manpower was spread out at once. With the help of these Ruan Linger's subordinates, Yao Xing controlled This intelligence agency developed rapidly.

Moreover, the strength of this intelligence agency in Nanjiang is definitely higher than that of Skynet.Yao Xing can find many things that Skynet cannot find.After all, the yamen servants had to come into contact with a lot of people every day, and those gangsters on the street would dare not show off the yamen servants' face, so it was too easy to inquire about something.

Under Yao Xing's deliberate arrangement, Ruan Ling'er's subordinates also developed a group of relatively reliable and clever people to join the big family of the intelligence organization.Of course not, the benefits of joining an intelligence organization are naturally indispensable.At least there are those government servants in various prefectures and counties to take care of them, and their lives are very impressive.

In the letter, these things were mentioned casually. After all, Lin Feng said that Lin Feng would not interfere with the development of this intelligence organization.Lin Feng was also thinking about whether he could follow the path Yao Xing took to develop an intelligence organization.But as soon as this idea came up, he was rejected by himself.

In other provinces, it is impossible for Lin Feng to have such good resources.After all, not every province can be managed by Lin Feng.If not, how can the plan be implemented?For now, Qi Heihu's set is more suitable.

Moreover, judging from the situation during this period of time, Qi Heihu is still reliable.Moreover, Lin Feng is also gradually increasing his control over Skynet. At least Lin Feng asked some people from the original editing factory to join Skynet. Qi Heihu agreed almost without thinking, and even asked Lin Feng to send more people. Going in, the euphemistic name is that they are understaffed.

In fact, Qi Heihu also knew that Skynet was created on the basis of his Black Tiger Gang, and Lin Feng's control over Skynet was relatively weak.In order not to make Lin Feng suspicious, Qi Heihu also hoped that Lin Feng would send more people into Skynet. If possible, he hoped that Lin Feng could take over Skynet himself.

Of course, Qi Heihu also knew that it was impossible for Lin Feng to take over Skynet, so he had to let as many of Lin Feng's people as possible enter Skynet, and then he handed over most of the power.Only in this way, Lin Feng will be at ease with Skynet, and he, Qi Heihu, will also be at ease.

After knowing Qi Heihu's intentions, Lin Feng recruited some reliable people to join Skynet. These people were formerly from the Horse Supervisor, and Lin Feng directly asked Yao Xing to send them to Skynet to work.

After these people arrived at Skynet, Qi Heihu quickly arranged them according to their characteristics.Many people have started to appear as the first and second person in charge in various places. Currently, Lin Feng's staff is in charge of almost one-third of Skynet.

Due to the current development trend of Skynet, Lin Feng felt that there was no need for Yao Xing to form an intelligence organization that duplicated Skynet, but Lin Feng would still let them exist in Nanjiang's organization.After all, Lin Feng has already considered that Nanjiang will become his base camp.For your own base camp, it is better to have a comprehensive grasp.

With Skynet and the double protection of Yao Xing's intelligence personnel, Lin Feng believes that his control of Nanjiang will definitely be achieved soon.After all, only when Nanjiang is fully controlled can the plans prepared by Lin Feng be implemented better.

In the letter, Yao Xing specifically mentioned what Lin Feng had told him, about the muskets under King Wu's mansion.Lin Feng and Yao Xing followed the map that Lin Feng gave him, and led the people to find it.
