The next day, when Baili Xixi proposed her plan to the superior, questions arose.
"Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau?"
"Inland Revenue Department?"
"What are these?"
Of course, it was impossible for Baili Xixi to tell them her detailed plan.
She can guarantee that if these people find out, they will either try their best to stop her, or they will want to pounce on her and take a bite of her fruit.
There were two departments in charge of national finance in Rong Guo, one was Da Si Nong, and the other was the financial and taxation agency managed by Zuo Shilang and You Shilang under the Minister of Household Affairs.
Of these two agencies, the former is in charge of taxation on agriculture, food, land, etc., and the latter is in charge of industry and commerce.
Now Rongguo's main source of tax revenue is the former, while the latter's industrial and commercial taxes are almost blank except for salt, iron and other items.
At least, the things mentioned in Baili Xixi's project are completely blank.
What exactly are the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau and the Taxation Bureau? Baili Xixi only mentioned a name without explaining it. Naturally, ordinary officials would not understand.
But the word "taxation" stirred up the nerves of financial officials.
"Your Majesty, are we going to increase farm taxes again?" Da Sinong objected very much, "Nowadays, the harvests in various places are not as good as each year, but the taxes have been increased again and again. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
What follows is self-evident.
Ji Yushi, who dared to say anything and offend anyone, was not as reserved as Da Sinong said. As soon as he spoke, he scolded the old emperor and Baili Xixi.
The people are already overwhelmed with heavy taxes. If we increase taxes, it will be completely forcing the people to rebel. In modern terms, it is seeking death.
Wen Zheng also felt that the old emperor and Baili Xixi were crazy about money.
"When did I say that I will increase the land tax?" Baili Xixi looked at the angry Ji Yushi and said, "I also know what Ji Yushi said. The country is based on the people. Don't say that the current situation is not good.
Even if the harvest is good, field taxes cannot be easily increased."
After listening to Baili Xixi's words, Ji Yushi's anger subsided a little, "If that's the case, then what taxes will your tax bureau collect?"
No matter what Ji Yushi asked, if we look at Rong Guo's founding until now, when we talk about taxes, we must be talking about land taxes. I'm sorry, they don't even have a concept of commercial taxes and the like.
Not only Rong Guo, but also the entire Jiuzhou Continent has no idea.
The individual strength of the citizens of Jiuzhou Continent is absolutely leveraged. As for the completeness of the financial and taxation system, it is estimated that it will only stay in ancient China.
"Industry and commerce." Baili Xixi only said these five words.
Seeing that Baili Xixi was mysterious and unwilling to say more, Chen Xian said to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, although I don't know much about taxation matters, according to the current situation, it is necessary to increase the original taxation or add new ones."
The tax items are adding insult to injury to the people."
The left minister and the right minister also said: "It is extremely unkind to compete for profits with the people and merchants."
Baili Xixi glanced at them lightly, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Then I would like to ask some of the adults, what should we do with the refugees outside the city and the huge military expenditures? Do we have to rely on even 10,000 gold coins for pensions?
The treasury that cannot be taken out?
The livelihood of the refugees, their most basic living needs; the huge military expenditures required for a million-dollar army... These adults are so eloquent, why don't you tell me what you have to do to solve these current difficulties?
