Rulers are definitely the most unlimited group of people in the world
Any other class or group can probably be rated as a 'moral model' when compared with the rulers.
Many years ago, Zhao Gao called a deer a horse in Xianyang, publicly revealing the nature of a ruler to the world.
Many years later, ****av followed suit. A certain director openly declared that he had given himself a perfect score... The majority of the people said: Too modest! A perfect score is not enough to demonstrate your artistic value and taste. It should be
Let the Oscars on the other side also send a statuette, so that your director's artistic taste and achievements can be barely demonstrated...
As for various hearings, in the end, it is always concluded that according to public opinion, the price of so-and-so should indeed be raised, and that is a common occurrence.
As for whether people believe it or not?
The ruler said that he believed it anyway...
Just like now, after the Emperor personally raised the issue directly, the powerful people all expressed that they had screwed the dog.
When faced with the overwhelming power of the imperial power, no matter how reluctant they were, the powerful people could only silently pick up a rope and put it around their necks.
In the final analysis, it is because the power of merchants or the power of industry and commerce is too weak.
The immature and new business class did not even have the strength to protect themselves.
Facing the power of the country, they can only cry like a thin little girl, and even have to force a smile when it's over.
Many people looked at each other. Of course they knew that today, they had to give an explanation to the emperor.
"I think it would be more appropriate to draw one out of ten shots..." someone said weakly.
When other people saw someone taking the lead, they immediately followed up: "Xiaomin and others also think that taking one out of ten is more reasonable..."
It’s a shame they said it out loud!
In the Han Dynasty, people used to string money with rope and silk. Generally, a string of one thousand coins was called a string.
If you take one out of ten coins, you will get 120 coins from 10,000 coins, and the tax rate is 1.2%.
Such a tax rate may not be enough to curb big businessmen, even if it scratches their itch.
In fact, the taxes collected may not be enough to pay wages to the lord and captain's Yamen in the end.
When the ministers heard this, they were all furious!
Do you count the ten points? Are you going to send the beggars away?
Especially the generals, who stared at these arrogant people, felt that these urban untouchables were itchy.
Liu Che was not angry, but looked at the various expressions of the beings in the hall with a smile.
The tax rate of 1.2% is indeed very low.
Nowadays, the land tax is thirty to one. If the commercial tax is set lower than the land tax, wouldn't Liu Bang's face be swollen?
From now on, Emperor Liu will stop shouting about "I am based on agriculture and encourage farming all over the world."
Therefore, the suggestion made by the powerful people is almost like fart, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
Liu Che raised his head and announced his decision to the powerful people: "One calculation? It's not appropriate. The country regards five as the sacred number, so just take five out of ten to calculate!"
The emperor has given his final say, so it is natural that his words become the law.
The powerful people are really crying in their hearts at this moment.
Now, they finally understood why people always kept it secret when talking about Liu's emperor in gossips and stories in the market.
This guy is the king of pitfalls!
"Fortunately, it's just five calculations..." Someone comforted himself in his heart.
Six hundred yuan is levied on ten thousand yuan. The tax rate of 6%, whether it is high or low, just exceeds the legal land tax of fifteen taxes per one (the current tax of thirty per one is theoretically speaking).
, is the temporary policy of Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty).
By this standard, no one else can blame themselves.
As a result, the powerful people all worshiped happily: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"
Liu Che, however, smiled slightly and looked at them, just like the wolf grandmother in the fairy tale, and asked with a smile: "Ten Guan draws five, this is the starting point, the family income is millions, tens of millions, tens of millions,
How should taxes be levied at each level?"
The powerful people were immediately frightened to death.
Taxation based on the amount of wealth and level of income will be commonplace in later generations.
But at this time, it appeared for the first time.
Not to mention the powerful ones, the ministers were also shocked.
Smart people soon thought of a terrible problem. Suppose your Majesty played with businessmen today and taxed people according to their wealth. Later, if he got addicted to it, he would transplant this thing to civil affairs and create a tax system based on the amount of land and the number of slaves.
Hierarchical taxation system.
What should we do for all the people in the world?
Many people shudder just thinking about this future.
no!
We must resolutely resist such evil policies and cruel laws!
It took many generations of scholar-bureaucrats of my generation to accumulate such a small fortune through farming and studying. With the current situation, we cannot destroy it with a piece of cruel law!
They hadn't thought about this level before, but when Liu Che highlighted it for the second time, they realized it.
So, as soon as Liu Che finished speaking, and before the powerful officials had time to reply, Da Nongzhi went out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, I have no doubt that I will die for you. I overheard that Shang Jun said: The so-called one sentence
There are no levels of punishment for those who are punished. Therefore, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in power, Heyang Marquis Xin sat for six months without paying anyone's blame. When he went to the Tingwei, the Tingwei asked him to report: According to the law, he should seize the Marquis. Taizong said: Heyangzhuang
Elder Hou (Chen Juan), I can't bear to have no sacrifice, so the Tingwei discussed it again. The Tingwei replied: Your Majesty came to the world to govern the Yuan Dynasty, and all the people in the country were ministers, but Heyang was not a minister? And the former king's rule of law was based on
It is important to have no hierarchy in punishment! Taizong then ordered the removal of the Heyang Hou Kingdom... Your Majesty has been ordered by Heaven to shepherd the Yuan Yuan of the world. I believe that everyone should be treated equally in the world. The common people in the country, regardless of high or low, are all His Majesty's subjects.
If you don't doubt your head, it will be a capital crime!"
"Huh?" Liu Che looked at Zhi Buyi who suddenly jumped out and had doubts. He might have been distracted.
But after just a moment, four or five more people jumped up.
Among them were Tingwei Zhao Yu, Taichang Dou Pengzu and other nine ministers.
By the time Liu Che reacted, six or seven ministers were already kneeling in the palace.
These people told Liu Che that "the ancestral system was based on the non-graded nature of punishment" and "the former emperor's legislation was based on the importance of peace", and they all tried to persuade Liu Che not to impose taxes based on grades.
Because this will shake the "previous emperor's government" and may make the people "at a loss as to what to do."
Looking at the appearance of these people, Liu Che couldn't help but think of those later generations of scholar-bureaucrats who shouted "not to compete with the people for profit" or the **** group of public intellectuals who "let the market solve all problems."
Looking at these impassioned guys with a strong sense of justice, who almost had "I am a gentleman, I make decisions for the people" written on their foreheads, Liu Che showed a smile on his lips: "You finally jumped into the trap!"
After being emperor for so long, Liu Che has grown into an excellent digger.
Of course, a good pit digger cannot only dig one or two pits.
If you want to cheat, you have to cheat a little more. (To be continued.)
