Regardless of whether it was perfect or not, the meeting ended successfully.
Those local political parties who participated in the Great Court Meeting were really reluctant to leave the Great Court Meeting, even more nostalgic than the first Great Court Meeting.
The first time I was not satisfied, but this time I was worried.
I won’t say the reason why.
No one wants to leave, but no one dares to stay in Bianliang.
The railway company provides special trains, which are dispatched according to the number of people. The key is that there are inspectors accompanying them!
The political meeting will be held two days later.
This is not to say that the DPRK will be very nervous, but to leave time for the discussion so that they can all communicate with each other and prepare for this discussion.
Of course, when the imperial court decided to convene the political meeting after the Great Imperial Assembly, it was clear that the land occupation tax increase law was to be discussed and implemented, and the intention was obvious.
Therefore, the space given to political discussions is communication in this general direction.
The main reason is that Zhao Xi has not yet perfected his idea and needs to communicate his idea with the cabinet ministers.
Zhao Xi never puts himself in a situation where he needs to argue with his ministers.
“It looks like the land tax increase will definitely be passed.”
"There should be no doubt about this. The court's intentions are obvious."
"It's just that passing a law on land acquisition and tax increase in this way may not be conducive to the industrial development of Guochao, and may cause the development momentum of Guochao to slow down."
"The reason why the imperial court did not pass it at the Great Council should be because it intended to increase taxes on land and adjust it, and it should not be completely in accordance with Wang Ge Lao's proposal."
"The imperial court's five-year plan has determined the policy for industrial development, and this year all states, counties, and counties have also signed a letter of responsibility. If the law of increasing land occupation and taxation is forcibly implemented, it will have a serious impact on local states, counties, and counties. Fulfillment of responsibilities
The task of writing quotations has also become difficult, and it will even cause local states, counties, and counties to assign it to the people..."
"Brother Lu is overly worried. The intelligence of today's ministers is not comparable to that of our ministers. Besides, the leaders of the industrial development of the country are the officials, and they will never see such a development momentum blocked."
By the way, this Lu brother is not a member of Lu Gongbi's family, but a member of the Lantian Lu family, Lu Dafang. The Lantian Lu family is also a so-called family with four Jinshi.
Lu Dafang knew about Kaifeng Prefecture, so he should have the right to know about Kaifeng Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture was a position for discussing government affairs.
As the leader of the Lu family's affairs, he is quite concerned about the family's business in Lantian.
However, even a well-known family like the Lantian Lu family does not dare to publicly say that increasing taxes on land is inappropriate. They only express their concerns in the name of industrial development.
In the past two days, in Bianliang, scenes like Lu Dafang having banquets and talking with his friends could be seen almost everywhere.
Since the imperial court wanted to relax the discussion of political affairs, they just used this opportunity to gather together and chat.
They are all the same and have almost the same meaning.
There should be a land tax increase law, but it cannot be set at twice the commercial tax rate set by Mr. Wang Ge. We all hope that the court can make adjustments on this basis.
In fact, many people have no idea whether the so-called doubling of business tax is harmful to the industry. It is purely because of the word twice that they subconsciously oppose it.
Scholars look down on businessmen, let alone scholars who are already discussing politics.
Every family has a business, but they don't do it themselves, and even direct descendants and nephews don't participate. They all have spokesmen. What they advertise is the heirloom of farming and studying.
Therefore, they do not know whether their own business will be affected by the so-called double business tax.
The first is that I don't bother to understand it, and the second is that the art of algebra is a bit of a fool's errand at this time.
There are people who are good at bartering and numeracy, such as Xue Xiang, Jia Xian, Lu Huiqing, Lu Jiawen, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun and others. But these people are either absolutely loyal to the official family, or they are betrayed by the official.
Due to the influence of the family, some people like Lu Jiawen were completely thrown aside.
Besides, scholars are always estranged from officials like Lu Jiawen who have flaws in their character and were not born as Jinshi.
Therefore, the Imperial City Secretary heard that these exchanges on political affairs gave Zhao Xi room to move.
Even with half a sword, you can still look down on the ministers in this era.
Therefore, Zhao Xi summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter with his rough plan.
“No tax on land occupied?”
You probably haven't finished reading it yet, and even if you do, you may not understand it. It needs explanations bit by bit.
"There is no tax. Anyone who occupies cultivated land to develop industries will pay compensation fees for cultivated land, which will be used by the court to make up for the reduction of cultivated land by clearing wasteland."
"Officials, what about production tax and circulation tax? Reform the tax system?"
Zhao Xi felt that his writing was fairly organized, but he still had too many questions.
"That's true. This is the idea I came up with under the guidance of Mr. Wangge's one-whip tax system..."
It is also appropriate to let Wang Anshi take the blame and put a hat on others. This should be able to poke Wang Anshi's pain point. This is a tax whipping method perfected by his son who has high hopes.
"The imperial court unified the taxes on grains and other items in the Spring and Autumn Taxes into coins. Based on this, I divided the industry of the country into two areas: production and circulation."
"As long as the tax rates for these two areas are formulated separately, the complicated tax rate situation can be solved."
"At the same time, production is in the local area and circulation is throughout the country. I have initially determined the production tax at 1,000 and 40 cents, and divided this tax into the imperial court and local governments. This will promote the development of industries in local prefectures, counties, and counties.
Positivity.”
In fact, Zhao Xi used the local spear to attack the local shield.
How should I put it? Officials in local prefectures and counties are the owners and participants of local industries. Between paying farmland compensation fees and developing industries, coupled with local financial autonomy and political achievements, I believe they will make a decision.
choose.
"In the case of levying local taxes, the residence tax will be cancelled. Since the circulation tax involves different state capitals, it will be uniformly allocated by the court."
"The circulation tax is equivalent to the original over-tax. It is calculated based on the goods involving at least two states. The tax rate is based on one thousand and fifty cents. At the same time, other over-tax items are cancelled."
At this point, Zhao Xi’s intention is to promote circulation.
According to the previous tax system, the farther the distance, the lower the profit earned by merchants, or the higher the price of goods, which hindered the circulation of goods to a certain extent.
The implementation of circulation tax gives people the impression that the farther the journey, the greater the profit. Of course, this will be determined by the market.
"As for business tax, I think it can be levied at a fixed amount based on the size of the goods yard. Generally speaking, the larger the business place, the greater the turnover generated."
"The implementation of business tax can avoid the lack of tax supervision. All we need to do is collect tax revenue on schedule according to the area of the cargo yard."
"In addition, for some special industries, special industry taxes need to be collected on the basis of fixed business tax."
"As for the tax amount? And which industries are special industries? This needs to be formulated as soon as possible by Shiyi Temple and the Third Secretary, based on the original tax rate."
"In addition, since the tax system reform involves the country's national economy and people's livelihood, and is related to millions of industries and livelihoods, this tax system decree is designated as interim. After one year of operation, it will be judged whether to adjust or continue based on the operation situation."
Zhao Xi is not sure whether it is feasible. In addition, there will be much less resistance when the interim version is implemented.
