Mohist Tang

The new method of bookkeeping is just an episode, an unexpected joy. Dai Zhou not at all forgets the real purpose of coming to Mohist Residence.

“Reporting to your lord, Mohist Village should levy a tax of 11,300 and a hundred thousand dollars.” The middle-aged Accountant reported with excitement.

“How much?” Dai Zhou and Mo Dun said in surprise at the same time.

“Eleven thousand one hundred and thirty-three hundred thousand per pass!” The middle-aged Accountant confirmed it and repeated it again.

Dai Zhou’s palm trembled. You must know that during the Zhenguan period, Great Tang’s annual tax was only more than 10 million. A village in Mohist Village paid so much tax in only half a year, and it almost reached a wealthy county. level.

“Lord Marquis Mo has already promised Haikou in front of His Imperial Majesty, but I can’t go back.” Dai Zhou said quickly.

More than 10,000 consistent money is enough for the Ministry of People to do too many things, and this is only the tax in the first half of the year. I am afraid that there will be a large amount of tax in the future. Dai Zhou has seen Mohist with his own eyes. The villages account books and the income of the entire Mohist Village have risen sharply, and the taxes collected in the future will be higher and higher.

“This is naturally not going back, I would like to ask, what is the tax rate that Great Tang collects?” Mo Dun asked. Of course, he did not think that he received more, but that he received less!

“According to the Great Tang Law, all commercial taxes are 30 taxes 1.” The middle-aged Accountant said boldly.

“Thirty tax one!” Mo Dun suddenly felt a little dazed. Compared to the 20% tax of later generations, it is simply too much.

What Mo Dun didnt know was that although Tang Dynastys taxes were too light compared to later generations, Great Tang only supported one official by an average of 4,000 people, and it soared to 400 in the Qing Dynasty. An official with the surname Feng.

As for the celestial dynasty, hehe! Therefore, Great Tang’s taxation of thirty-one is indeed reasonable.

Consistent money is one thousand wen, more than ten thousand dollars, that is astronomical, even if Ministry of People has been prepared for a long time, it uses the new four-wheeled Carriage customized by Mohist Village. It’s amazing, and it has pulled as many as ten cars.

“It has long been heard that Chang’an City Mohist Family Son has the means of wealth, and sure enough, the name is not in vain.” Dai Zhou smiled openly. With more than ten thousand consistent, Ministry of People will definitely be able to support Xia Liang collection.

The whole Mohist Residence looks like prepare for there funeral. Mohist Village has just been lifted out of poverty for only half a year, and the plight of hunger and cold is still fresh in my memory. Suddenly I saw such money and taxes. , It is naturally heartbroken.

Ziyi is even more mysterious and weeping, a look that is unlovable, Mo Er and the others help Ministry of People pretend to pay, while secretly wiping tears, Uncle Fu Reluctantly to remain calm, but the gaze in his eyes couldn’t be separated from the full ten Carriage of money.

“Let Lord Dai laugh.” Mo Dun said with a bitter smile.

Dai Zhou waved his hand and said: “The old man has seen countless people who love money. There are countless people who love money. This is normal.”

Dai Zhou also did it. Compared with the ugly ways of tax evasion and tax evasion, Mohist Village’s move has been commendable.

“Reporting to your lord, the taxes in Mohist Village have been paid and the approval is correct.” said the middle-aged Accountant nodded.

“Okay, give Lord Marquis Mo a receipt and return to the house immediately.” Dai Zhou waved his hand, and he was about to return home with money.

“Hold on!”

Shouting loudly, I saw Ch_ng’n County Magistrate in green rushing in from the front door, followed by Ch_ng’n behind him. A group of small officials of the county government.

“Su Luosheng, this is just what it means.” Dai Zhou coldly shouted, calling Ch_ng’n County Magistrate by the name.

“Mohist Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Ch_ng’n County. Tax collection is something that the small county should do. How can you trouble the Shangguan to do it yourself.” Su Luosheng of Ch_ng’n County Magistrate was humble. The subordinates did not show mercy, and firmly took Carriage’s path.

Although they all collect taxes, it is naturally different who collects the taxes. If the Ministry of People collects the taxes themselves, the Ch_ng’n county government will not pay a penny. If the Ch_ng’n county government collects taxes , It can naturally intercept part of it.

Su Luosheng stared at the money carts in front of him with dazzling eyes, and he suddenly felt short of breath. In fact, it is more than just the Ministry of People who needs money. The huge city of Chang’an City also needs money. Countless.

Little things?

Dai Zhou couldn’t help but feel angry. If he could collect taxes from Wanguan in one day, he would not be a High Official. He would be willing to collect taxes every day.

But what Su Luosheng said is also reasonable. Usually, taxes are collected by the county and then distributed to each state and county by the Ministry of People. However, this involves too many problems.

Xu Jie explained the reason in Mo Dun in a low voice, and Mo Dun suddenly realized that this is not a common place for later generations to fight for financial power with the central government.

“Su County Magistrate, don’t bother you about this matter, the Ministry of People will directly collect taxes from Mohist Village in the future.” Dai Zhou waved his hand.

“Dai High Official’s words are not correct. How can the Ministry of People collect taxes directly in this world? If this is the case, then why do small counties need to do it! From now on, Great Tang states and counties tax The Ministry of People will collect it in person. Su Luosheng couldn’t help but sneered. He was able to sit firmly on Ch_ng’n County Magistrate. He also has a solid foundation and is not afraid of Dai Zhou. Moreover, he has recently achieved remarkable achievements because of the citys early warning system. It is the critical juncture of promotion, and it is when money is needed to build political achievements. Naturally refuse to yield an inch, even more how Mohist Villages taxation is an astronomical figure every year. How can we just let it go.

Dai Zhou is also hearing this. Let the Ministry of People go to the entire Great Tang to collect taxes. It is simply a fantasy story, so if you want to collect taxes, you must rely on these County Magistrates. of.

The two can’t dispute. In the face of such immense wealth, no one is willing to give in, and this is also related to the continuous taxation in the future.

“If the Lord is here, then see to whom the Lord is willing to hand over the tax? Can it?” Dai Zhou turned his spear on Mo Dun. In his opinion, he is a First Rank member after all. , Mo Dun will definitely make a wise choice.

Mo Dun suddenly wanted to scold his mother. One is High Official, the other is the county magistrate and the current in charge. Isn’t this letting him stand on the fire?

Su Luosheng also wants to understand the levels. It is not without the opportunity to talk about the advantages, so he nodded agrees with Dai Zhou’s ideas.

“The Ministry of People is in charge of the expenses of the Imperial Court. There must be a lot of urgent need for money.” Mo Dun said.

Dai Zhou suddenly stroked his beard nodded, secretly thought Mohist Family Son went on the road, and looked at Su Luosheng’s iron-green face triumphantly.

However, Mo Dun changed his tone and said: “Chang’an City is the place of Imperial Capital, which is related to the face of Great Tang, and the daily maintenance and management are costly.”

Su Luosheng’s face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

Dai Zhou suddenly scolded Mo Dun, the little catfish for being slippery, in his heart, and even wanted to not guilty, so he couldn’t help humming: “according to what you said, there is no solution!”

Mo Dun shook his head and said: “There is no way.”

“Oh, let’s hear it?” Dai Zhou said.

“Since ancient times, the dispute between the Ministry of People and the local financial rights has never ceased. The Ministry of People collects more, but the local governments are in trouble. If the Ministry of People collects less, the country is weak.” Mo Dun hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problem.

Dai Zhou is an economic man, and of course he knows what Mo Dun said.

“From the perspective of youngster, the tax revenue of a county is generally limited. If the tax of a county is divided according to a certain ratio, a part of the tax will be directly charged to the State Treasury, which is called the national tax and is uniformly deployed by the Ministry of People. The other part is left in the local area, called the local tax, as local public money. In this way, it can not only ensure the stability of the Ministry of Peoples financial resources, but also solve the danger of local difficulties. Mo Dun directly instilled the theory of local tax and national tax in later generations. Although the two are not as detailed as the later generations, compared to Great Tang’s local tax collection, the rough tax system planned by the Ministry of People is much stronger.

Su Luosheng immediately eyes shined. He just intercepted this batch of taxes and eventually had to turn over to the Ministry of People, and the taxes spent had to be reported to the Ministry of People. Besides, Dai Zhou is a Shangguan after all. He has been impossible. Go ahead, his tough attitude just now is also compelled by circumstances, otherwise the Ministry of People will be under the unified control, and it is not necessarily where the money will fall. javascript:!

If we can follow Mo Duns term as a common practice and leave a portion of fiscal and taxation free to control, then its naturally best.

“National tax, land tax.” The more Dai Zhou thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He just opened the door to a new tax revenue. In the process of collecting taxes before, he clearly felt the local taxes. Resistance, if divided by this, as long as there is a place to collect taxes, the Ministry of People’s taxation is indispensable, and it can stimulate local governments to actively collect taxes, because the more taxes, the more financial power the localities have.

“Lord Marquis Mo really deserves to be the pillar of the country. The old man will definitely play the Imperial Court and let the Imperial Court discuss it.” Dai Zhou seriously said.

“Master Dai has praised, the youngster is just due to two disputes, I really dare not take credit.” Mo Dun modestly said.

“Lord Marquis Mo does not need to be too modest. If this law is passed, it will definitely be a blessing for the Great Tang place.” Su Luosheng said with emotion that the central government has taken away the property rights, and the local government is stretched out with money, even if it has Political ambitions are also difficult for clever women to cook without rice.

“Su County Magistrate, since these taxes are collected by the official himself, they are naturally impossible to be handed over to you. However, for the things you listed on the table before, the official can give you approval now, and tomorrow you will You can go to the Ministry of People to collect the money. As for the future taxation of Mohist Village, it will be determined after the official has played the Imperial Court tax division method.” Dai Zhou said with a hammer.

“Please follow the instructions of the Shangguan!” Su Luosheng said seriously.
