Not to mention the arrogant people, even Liu Che couldn't stand it anymore.
"Please, please stop arguing." Liu Che stood up and stopped these guys from continuing to argue.
"When I came before me, I discussed with the Prime Minister the scope of authority of the Lord Commander's Yamen." Liu Che slowly dropped this bombshell.
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu smiled at Chao Cuo and apologized.
"The Lord Commander, with a rank of eight hundred stones, will be mainly responsible for accounting for the household income, surplus property, land, slaves, slaves, and annual income of the merchants, industrialists, and merchants all over the world. This is mainly for household income of more than 500,000 yuan and non-farming income."
Profits, including gold, silver, mine income of more than 300,000 yuan, vehicles and ships worth more than 500,000 yuan, the amount of tax will be determined based on the subsidized property, the more the subsidized property, the higher the tax will be!" Liu Che looked at it with a smile!
Looking at these guys: "Now, who else wants to take over?"
The young man and the big farmer looked at each other and immediately shrank their eggs.
"Your Majesty, you should have told me earlier," Liu She complained in his heart.
"Oops!" Zhi Buyi was even more shocked!
Even Chao Cuo, who had always been tough on merchants and advocated liquidation, was stunned.
Originally, these guys thought that this Lord Commander must be a hen that could lay golden eggs.
Therefore, everyone is very enthusiastic and interested.
There are so many merchants in the world that if you take a bite, your mouth will be full of oil.
It can also encourage relatives and friends to become rich together.
However, now, Liu Che's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding above the court hall.
The Lord Duwei Yamen, which was originally regarded as a hot potato in everyone's eyes, immediately became a hot potato, and the golden eggs it laid were covered with thorns, which were very thorny!
The emperor's words of a standard of more than 500,000 yuan immediately calmed down countless ministers who coveted the title of lord and captain.
Who are these people with a wealth of more than 500,000 yuan?
With a family fortune of 500,000 yuan, even in Chang'an City, he has already escaped the category of a small businessman.
As for some counties and villages in remote areas, a family property of half a million yuan is enough to ensure that this family is rich in the local area.
What's more, there are more than one
The emperor made it clear that his chariots and horses, the lords and captains, were targeting big businessmen. Especially top-level businessmen.
Are these big businessmen the same generation as Yi Yu?
If you just want to deal with one or two people alone, or a small group, with the justice of the court, you will naturally be able to capture them.
However, if the target is the entire group of large merchants, and the action must be taken within the scope of the legal system, then this will be extremely troublesome.
An obvious question, and at the same time a very clear difficult problem, is placed in front of the yet-to-be-born yamen of Lord Duwei: Do you want to collect taxes from the two abbots of Linqiong, Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying? Do you dare to collect them?
Collect it? Can you collect it?
Also, King Liang of Suiyang had several brothers and relatives of his favorite concubine, who were doing business in Luoyang, and their business was very large.
Do you want to collect the taxes from these people? Do you dare to collect them? Can you collect them?
Just two questions are enough to be daunting.
Liang Wang Liu Wu and Linqiong's two abbots, if any one of them fails to cooperate, it will be enough for a minister of Jiuqing's level to suffer a black face.
If things got serious, people would take the initiative and hang the Lord Commander up, strip him of his clothes, and hang him on the top of the city.
That would be ridiculous and would become the laughingstock of the world.
As for the big businessmen in local counties, they might be more terrifying than the King of Liang and the two heads of state combined.
As a minister who is familiar with the world situation and local public opinion, many people know very well how the local big businessmen got up?
The answer is simple. The rise of most big businessmen is based on the corpses of countless competitors and the blood and tears of countless ordinary people.
Every five-baht note was stained with blood.
For example, big businessmen in Hedong and Qilu can often work part-time as bandits.
Otherwise, how do you think there are so many unknown murders in the world?
With the money they earned, these guys even attracted many local rangers and rogues to engage in some shady deeds.
Collect their taxes?
Anyway, many ministers feel that unless the emperor sends out troops, protects them with swords and guns, and uses strong means to directly press for the request, there will be no money but a lot of lives!
Today, although the world is peaceful, human life is still worthless.
Thirty to fifty thousand dollars is enough to buy a life.
Desperados, no matter who you are or whose orders you take, as long as they have money, they will do anything if they have money!
Therefore, the Shaofu and Da Nong immediately offered money to withdraw their troops and never mentioned the matter again.
It's not that the young man and the big farmer are afraid of the local rich people.
To be honest, if these two yamen are forced to panic, it is shameless, and it is not impossible to deal with the local rich people.
But, why bother?
The risk is too great, and no one dares to bet that the emperor can always support him.
The emperor of the Liu family betrayed his ministers, but he also betrayed his tradition.
The objects involved in this matter are so complex and are not ordinary people who can be manipulated at will.
Behind every businessman, there may be the shadow of one or several big figures.
There was even someone standing directly behind the emperor.
Since ancient times, emperors have been ministers to reform other people's interests, touch other people's cheese, and raise their limbs to support.
However, if the reform is to affect yourself or the person next to you, then it will be a big deal.
If the wind blew beside his pillow, or if the emperor found it painful to cut his flesh like this, he might back down at any time.
If the emperor shrinks, he shrinks.
But what about the poor minister?
Still not allowed to be watched?
Even if we take ten thousand steps back and the emperor supports us regardless of all opposition, so what?
Shang Jun's fate lies there.
Chao Cuo was even glad that he had met a good superior like Zhou Yafu. If he had to replace the former Shen Tujia, Chao Cuo estimated that Shen Tujia would probably leave this sinkhole to him and let the imperial censor Yamen take over. Then, on the side
Read the joke.
Looking at the young master and the big farmer who had shrunk their eggs all of a sudden, Liu Che shook his head inwardly.
But we can't blame the Shaofu and Da Nong.
In fact, even Liu Che himself was not completely sure that he could accomplish this matter.
Liu Che's current request is even as simple as hanging up the sign and setting down the laws.
As for tax collection, there is no rush, you can take your time.
Liu Che knew very well what kind of enemy the Lord Commander had to face.
It is no exaggeration to say that this enemy may be stronger than the Huns!
Unless Liu Che flips the table, learns from Emperor Wu, and simply uses a one-size-fits-all approach to solve the problem. Otherwise, this will be a long tug-of-war.
But it doesn't matter, it's not Liu Che who's going to fight with them.
If you want to worry, Gongsun Hong and his master Yan should worry about it.
Liu Che just needs to support them.
"Today, I summoned the Pingjia magistrates from various counties in Guanzhong to discuss this matter." Liu Che said unhurriedly: "I also want to hear what the magistrates think of this?"
Ji An immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has an edict, instructing Ping Jia, who is a master of power, to discuss the system of vehicle, ship and mine taxes!"
And the powerful people looked at each other, and they were also very frightened in their hearts!
There is a consensus between the government and the opposition to impose taxes on vehicles, ships and minerals.
In other words, they don't have much choice other than 'His Majesty Fu Wei can perform Qian and Kun, combine Yin and Yang, and reach the level of the Holy King. We vulgar people can only stop and obey the Holy Order'.
If they dare to criticize this issue, they will immediately be drowned in the saliva of the officials!
The hat of "discussing national policy in vain and roaring in front of the emperor" is taken off, and he will die without a burial place.
But if the big guys hold their noses and admit it, the imperial court will play a new trick and put the responsibility on them.
It is said that they initiated and approved such a tax amount.
Then, whenever it is dark and windy at night, or when there is thunder and lightning, there will probably be many "just knights" armed with swords, climbing over walls and entering houses, doing chivalrous acts of justice and clearing away troubles.
Therefore, I have to speak.
You even have to find a way to clear away the responsibility. Even if you can't, you have to let people know: I didn't do it, I'm innocent, I couldn't help it, and I didn't want to.
But to exercise authority is to exercise authority.
As a representative of merchants who deal with the government, how can we not be familiar with Han laws, especially those related to markets and commercial taxes?
Soon, a man with authority came out to report: "I am fortunate to have been blessed by God. Your Majesty will not give up. I am allowed to enter the palace to listen to politics, and I am granted a seat in the Xuanshi Palace. I am so grateful that I am willing to use my body to repay Your Majesty's kindness! Today, Your Majesty Even more great benefits are given to Xiaomin and others who can discuss the system of vehicle, boat and mine taxes. Although the people are crude, they also know that these three kings cannot do it, and the five emperors cannot match it! Otherwise, how could the people be so lucky to be treated so favorably by Your Majesty?"
After flattering him, the powerful man continued: "The common people are crude and savage people. They don't know anything about rituals and music, let alone the king's behavior. They know nothing about national affairs and the discussions between the government and the public. They should not and cannot discuss them at will. , However, Your Majesty immediately inquired, and the common people were ignorant and reported it: In the past, the Emperor Gao decided to govern the city, and ordered the chief executive to set up troops in the market. The ancestral system has always been like this. Apart from this, there is nothing else. That’s all the common people can know!”
"You are quite courageous," Liu Che thought to himself as he knocked on the table after listening to this person's words.
The system of ranks has long become a decoration. In addition to bullying the farmers who sell the products produced at home, is that businessman now still using the system of ranks?
The so-called "Liu Wu Zhi Zhi" was the product of Liu Bang's imagination.
After Liu Bang took over the world, he felt that merchants were too bad and must be curbed.
Just played with this system.
That is to say, similar military management to merchants was carried out in the same way as the Qin Dynasty.
When all merchants sell goods, they must do business in designated places and areas under the command of designated people.
Generally, five people form a group in a row, so it is called the "Lou Wu Zhi" system.
The failure, or success, of this policy is that it stipulates that if one person in a row sells fake goods, then, very good, once discovered, they will all be together.
Or maybe someone in the group sells stolen goods, the same thing happens.
If you don't want to be gang-banged, then you must report your companion's illegal behavior.
At the same time, in order to encourage reporting, Liu Bang also stipulated that the reporting party could share part of the confiscated property of the reporting party.
Okay
This policy was a great success!
But just because it was so successful, it was thrown aside.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he picked up the Pingjia system of the Qin Dynasty and replaced Liwu with Pingjia. This was the grand occasion of today's world.
But this list is still valid from a strict legal point of view, but it is pretended not to be seen from top to bottom.
Only some remote rural areas still implement this set of regulations.
Now, this system of focusing on power and elevating ranks is nothing more than telling His Majesty Liu Che not to rest on the laurels. The economic crisis during the Gao Emperor's period has not long passed.
But Liu Che was not angry after hearing this.
Rabbits bite when they are anxious!
What's more, the hole is a bit big now, and these arrogant people belong to the scapegoats who were buried in the hole by Liu Che.
The scapegoats find themselves being blamed. If they want to grunt twice, let them grunt twice.
Anyway, the established policy will not change.
What's more, the left and right are just complaints.
So, Liu Che said to the man who was in power: "I know what you said, and the question I ask you now is: In your opinion, how much should the tax on transportation and minerals be levied? It's in the millions, tens of millions, tens of thousands."
Tens of thousands of dollars in property, what standard should be used to raise taxes? Everyone knows this in the market, and there must be someone who can teach me!"
Of course Liu Che knew that this guy's purpose was to change the topic.
But the hole has been dug, the people have been buried, and such a big battle has been set up. If you say you don’t want to play anymore, is it so easy to find a hole?
Anyway, Liu Che must ask these powerful officials to set these tax rates today.
No matter what they say, as long as it is exported.
Then this is public opinion!
Public opinion cannot be violated!
The lord and captain already have the legal and factual basis for taxation. (To be continued.)
