Wang Anshi thought he had convinced the officials because Zhao Xi seemed to be thinking...
In fact, what Zhao Xi was thinking about was the reason why the imperial court lost taxes.
There is no such thing as a transportation tax in China. Excess tax is, to a certain extent, a disguised transportation tax.
Because the tracks are connected and the tracks are responsible for official duties, people automatically ignore the taxable nature of the tracks.
This was also done intentionally by Zhao Xi.
The role of the track is not only reflected in promoting barter between the country and the dynasty. The role of the track is greater than barter in the effective governance of the military and the court over the local area.
At the same time, maintaining the operation of the track requires greater expenditure. This is also the reason why Zhao Xi deliberately neglected to pay taxes on the track.
To the courtiers, the track seemed to be like the various yamen of the imperial court and should not be taxed. Instead, the track and the Gongfang City were reduced to the same thing, and the income was unified and collected at a unified residence tax of one thousand and twenty.
Position is really a factor that cannot be ignored.
Zhao Xi has not yet broken down all the ideas and told his ministers. His position is firstly the effective rule of the imperial court, secondly the promotion of the industrial development of the country, and finally the so-called pro-army of the world.
However, as Fu Bi told him, the court must first come to a conclusion to stop the current chaos in the court meeting.
"Mr. Wang Ge, I agree with your statement, but we must also consider the feasibility of the land occupation tax increase law and the resistance of the courtiers. Again, when implementing any policy, the executor must be considered."
"Actually, the reason why Mr. Wangge proposed the land-occupancy tax increase law is mainly due to the current tax system of the country, which is not suitable for the current economic operating conditions."
"Compared to the fields that were not required to pay the two taxes before, now a product and housing tax of 1,000 and 20 yuan is generated on these fields, which can be regarded as an increase in revenue to a certain extent."
"The tax system of the country is no longer suitable for development. The court can study the reform of the tax system. There is no need to worry about the issue of land occupation, or to put it another way."
"In addition, I also agree with what Mr. Wang Ge mentioned about the impact of occupying farmland on grain production. The current balance between grain supply and demand is due to the intervention of the brewing industry."
"In fact, judging from the statistics of Sinong Temple, the cultivated land in the country is increasing, and the grain output is also increasing. Even the grain trade with Annan is also increasing."
"The reason for this situation is that the demand for spirits in Northern Liao and Xixia is too strong... I'm going too far."
"Mr. Wang Ge, I have decided to put the land occupation tax increase law out of the agenda of this court meeting, and first ensure the smooth conclusion of the court meeting."
"At the same time, after the end of this imperial meeting, the imperial court will directly hold a political meeting as the first political meeting of the year, focusing on how to adjust the tax system, that is, making a conclusion on the land occupation tax increase law."
Zhao Xi has not yet perfected his thoughts on adjusting the tax system. The main reason is that Chen Qi's attack came so suddenly that Zhao Xi did not have time to formulate a plan to adjust the tax system.
It's really not about swaying Wang Anshi, it's really unformed.
There is actually no need to summon Wang Anshi this time, or the time is not right. If, like before, Zhao Xi already has a complete adjustment plan for the new law, let Wang Anshi know about it and let him make a comparison before summoning him.
The most appropriate time to play is right.
The reason why Zhao Xi summoned him in advance was based on Wang Anshi's mood during this period, to express a certain degree of respect and to continue to let Comrade Wang contribute to the Song Dynasty.
He was about to be manipulated by the officials again so that he would be completely changed beyond recognition... This was Wang Anshi's first reaction.
This is the case with every new law. When it is finally implemented, it will be completely different from the original idea.
There was no other way, and Wang Anshi had to admit that the new law, which had been polished by officials, was indeed more sound when implemented than what he had proposed.
Fu Bi left with peace of mind. Wang Anshi was not sure whether he was also relieved and left with Fu Bi.
There is no need for Zhao Xi to worry about the edict announcing that the court will defer the land tax increase law. The cabinet ministers can do a good job in this matter, and the cabinet ministers should also be able to do a good job in calming down the current restlessness of the court.
Zhao Xi needs to consider how to reform the tax system, or how to adapt to the proposal to increase taxes on land occupation.
It’s really a bit embarrassing!
Zhao Xi knows national tax, local tax, value-added tax, surcharge, business tax and other terms, but he has no idea about the principles and basis for the establishment of these taxes.
Besides, today's dynasty cannot be compared with the later generations. Compared with the dynasty of the later generations, it can be said that the material wealth of the later generations is extremely rich...~
Forget it, it seems that the experience of later generations is of no use.
Zhao Xi himself knows that he is not a particularly smart person. Compared with these elites in the court, he just has more than a thousand years of experience.
…
According to the imperial edict, the land occupation tax increase law was postponed for further discussion, and the court meeting was carried out according to the determined agenda.
At the same time, the first political meeting of this year will be held directly after the end of the DPRK meeting, and the first quarter political meeting will be cancelled.
Yes, it's the end of February, and there's no need to keep local affairs on the road for two consecutive months.
But in fact, the courtiers all knew that the so-called "preventing local affairs from being debated on the road" was actually about passing a land occupation tax increase law.
It’s still worrying! It’s all about interests, so who can let it go easily?
It would be better to decide it at the Great Court!
If on the first day of the Great Court Meeting, those participating in political discussions have the intention to reach an agreement, perhaps whether the law on increasing taxes on land use can be passed, a decision can really be made at the Great Court Meeting.
Because everyone was entangled and embarrassed, they all had the idea of putting it off for a while, and they even wanted to use this method to shelve the land occupation tax increase law, which ultimately resulted in the result agreed upon by the political meeting.
At this point, everyone who participates in politics has some regrets.
The political meeting has reached an agreement, which means that those who participate in politics have no right to express their opinions. Moreover, once the agreement is reached, all prefectures and counties across the country must implement it unconditionally.
The question is, will the political stance be exactly the same as theirs? It’s really hard to be sure.
The government officials are determined by their positions. Those who can become the government officials basically have a part in the big industry of the imperial court.
Even if they occupy land in their ancestral home to develop industries, compared to the large industry of the imperial court, it is not considered a major benefit.
Participation in politics is different. The main source of income from participation in politics is basically the craftsmanship bought in the workshop city and operated locally. If the land occupation tax increase law is passed, the losses from participation in politics will be much greater than those from discussion of politics.
Of course, this is just for most, not all.
There is no difference between some political participation and political discussion. They not only have the future of political discussion, but also have the background of political discussion.
And some people who participate in politics will only participate in politics throughout their lives.
Therefore, although the next court meeting was completing one agenda item after another step by step, it was obviously a bit lifeless.
Everyone is worried about the land occupation tax increase law!
Damn Wang Jiefu! Hateful Langzhou Chen Qi!
However, Chen Qi felt confident, so he packed up his luggage and went back happily. As for Wang Anshi, let alone not caring about other people's opinions, even with his status in the cabinet, he was not someone who could be discussed casually when he participated in politics.
