Wang Xuan glanced at the person's face and continued to say in a deep voice: "First, tax must be paid. This is not negotiable."
After Hua finished speaking, the people below immediately started talking. Wang Xuan said loudly, his voice full of inner strength, which shocked everyone and said, "This money will not be turned over to the court!"
What?
If you don’t turn it over to the court, and you, Mr. Wang, don’t like it, then what will the money be used for?
Before everyone could continue thinking, Wang Xuan said again: "Master once said: If you want to get rich, build roads first!"
"All of this tax money will be used to repair the roads in our FJ province. All official roads will be replaced with cement roads. The cement roads can accommodate two four-wheel carriages!"
"This road has been improved and four-wheeled carriages can run. I don't think you can imagine the significance of this. At the very least, transporting grain from Tingzhou Prefecture to Fuzhou Prefecture consumes 20% on the road. If there is
For transportation on concrete roads and four-wheeled carriages, about half the consumption is sufficient. The same is true for other items, which can bring countless profits."
"Not only that, communication between places is convenient, and the flow of people increases, and the various intangible profits it can bring will also skyrocket. Hmm, to put it bluntly, the final benefits will be indispensable to everyone here."
As soon as he said this, all the family heads here were stunned for a while. Of course, everyone knows the benefits of building roads. After all, they are all heads of big families, so they still have this knowledge. Otherwise, the government would not have to build official roads.
However, no one expected that Wang Xuan would actually use the money in this area. Everyone thought... Wang Xuan was still greedy for talent!
Of course, it would be ridiculous to say that Wang Xuan doesn't make money. The cement consumed in road construction is not purchased from him. When the time comes, Wang Xuan will still have to eat a lot of meat.
"In addition to official roads, we will also build roads leading to various large villages. We will strive to allow cement roads to be used in all parts of Fujian."
In fact, road construction in ancient times was not bad. After all, even a four-wheeled carriage had a maximum load of no more than four tons. The requirements for cement pavement were not that high. In fact, the construction cost was cheaper than the traditional method.
"After the road is built, the tax revenue will be used to repair water conservancy facilities. These are also to ensure that we in Fujian do not depend on the weather for food. What we protect is your interests and profits. Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.
belly."
"How could it be? How could we doubt Mr. Wuzhou?"
"Of course, of course, we also support tax collection!"
The people who shout loudest are the people from several inland prefectures, especially Tingzhou and Shaowu. They are most aware of the importance of transportation. In fact, the benefits of the five coastal prefectures are not large. Other than that,
There are some families with relatively little land but a lot of business. If there are concrete roads to connect all directions, their goods transportation costs will be lower and their profits will be higher.
At this time, the crowd was divided into two factions, and those who were unwilling to pay at all were in the minority. Even if they were angry, they would not dare to object, unless they wanted to follow in the footsteps of the seven great families.
Just now, Wang Xuan specifically mentioned the seven major families in his words, not without reminding everyone that if you don't obey, you will be destroyed.
Seeing that he had achieved his desired goal, Wang Xuan continued: "Of course, I also know how much income you have earned from the land, and the court's tax laws are also inappropriate in many ways, so we in Fujian need to make some changes."
When Wang Xuan said this, everyone's hearts immediately started to rise. If the tax law is slightly changed, the interests involved will be for several years, ten years or more, and everyone cannot help but pay attention to it.
Wang Xuan raised his finger and pointed at everyone below, and said unceremoniously: "Don't blame me for being rude. We are all foxes with thousands of years of history. Let's not play nonsense. It's okay to deceive the emperor with those sophistry things. You
If you want to tell me that, don't blame me for falling out."
Pfft, the sentence was so suspenseful that it didn’t make anyone laugh. It was too businesslike. It shouldn’t have been said by a person of Wang Xuan’s status, but... it was so unreasonable!
On weekdays, what everyone quotes from scriptures is nothing more than sophistry. Everyone knows the facts very well.
"In the past, the imperial court's tax was twenty one per mu, and there were other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. From now on, in Fujian, all those messy exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished. Don't give me a blind showdown. There will still be a ten tax per mu, but only one."
The cashier does not accept food."
As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, if it was really true that only 20 grains and 1 tax were collected, then everyone would not be able to take out much more than they do now. Speaking carefully, it is really
Not much loss.
This has been the case in all dynasties. The most annoying thing is all kinds of exorbitant taxes and labor. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, in the next forty years, the three major noises, the noise of crops and seedlings, and various additional stipulations are the heaviest.
"Of course, having said that, don't focus on the tenants later. I can tell you clearly that once the development of Xiaoliuqiu begins in the future, there will definitely be a shortage of labor. If you mistreat the tenants, then
If someone else's family was taken away, then don't go around complaining."
Haha, haha, everyone who was glanced at by Wang Xuan couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this was what they thought. At this moment, being poked out by Wang Xuan, they were naturally embarrassed.
This statement is so direct...
"Now that we've talked about food tax, let's talk about commercial tax."
As soon as Wang Xuan changed the topic, all of these businessmen were immediately worried. They intuitively told them that it was not a good thing. While talking about collecting taxes to build roads, they also reduced the agricultural tax burden. In addition, the amount paid to the court would not be reduced. Then
Not to mention, I will definitely have to make a fuss about commercial taxes.
Looking around, Wang Xuan then continued: "The Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave everyone a tax policy of thirty to one tax, and in order to protect the business environment that was persecuted by the Yuan Dynasty, many products are tax-free, but this special
It’s been two hundred years, and it’s time to change it. I don’t care what happens elsewhere, it’s in Fujian!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Commercial tax starts with 15 tax, some goods have 10 tax and 1 tax, overseas products have a unified 10 tax and 1 tax, and special goods have 5 tax and 1 tax."
"What!"
"This...this is too high!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Suddenly, people jumped up. These are all big business families, and all of them are closely related to Wang Xuan. After all, they suddenly went from no tax to a minimum tax of fifteen, which is unacceptable.
, not to mention that there are also tax rates of one for ten and one for five, which are really too many.
This is equivalent to the fact that you used to be able to earn whatever you wanted by selling without spending a penny, but now you suddenly have to pay taxes of tens of thousands of taels a year, and even more than hundreds of thousands of taels. This is really unacceptable!
The venue suddenly became noisy again, and those who were mainly land-oriented, who were distressed just now and wanted to fight with Wang Xuan, were gloating.
After all, since ancient times, the main source of taxation has been grain tax. Everyone thought that they would suffer heavy losses. Who would have thought... Hehe, it feels so good to watch the excitement.
Everyone was holding back their laughter, and it was very hard to hold it in.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, sawdust flew into the air, and everyone's ears were buzzing.
Wang Xuan smashed the table in front of him with one palm, and his face became gloomy. This anger immediately reminded people of who he was facing!
His status today was achieved through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In an instant, these people who were jumping around just now were covered in cold sweat and wanted to give themselves a slap in the face. How come they were so obsessed with this person?
He yelled in front of the God of Death.
"Damn it, you're yelling, get out of here if you don't want to!" Wang Xuan's eyes widened and he started to curse loudly. The man here was not the head of a family with a net worth of tens of millions, but he was scolded so that all of them bowed their heads and did not dare to say a word, even though he was extremely upset in his heart.
It's not pleasant, but it really makes them slam the door and leave just to save face...
Haha, it’s actually quite good to be alive!
The seven major families and the Tang Dynasty king all dared to destroy the family. What else did they have? Even if they had two heads, they probably wouldn't be enough to chop them off!
Those ordinary people may not know how ruthless this person is. Don't they know, especially the aristocratic families in Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, that after Wang Xuan massacred seven major families, he did not confiscate the corpses, and just visited the seven families?
Within the family mansion.
Afterwards, these families sent people to check, especially the heads of these families. Even if they were scared, they went to the scene to check. The population of any family head was huge. The mansions of the seven families were full of corpses, and every family was killed.
After killing hundreds of people, it was these families that finally collected the bodies of the seven major families.
After all, what if there are too many corpses and there is a plague in the city?
Therefore, it is impossible to get away, even if you are beaten to death, it is impossible to get away!
"When it comes to doing business, how can you all compare to me?"
"All of you put together can't keep up with me. I have to pay the most taxes. You guys are just like me. What's the matter with ten taxes and one? If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. I'm forcing you to do it!?"
"Even if you sell a fucking coal stove to the north, you can double the profit. Why, I'll charge you more than eleven. Who doesn't want you to stand up? Don't buy from me in the future!"
"
"Do you think I'm the emperor's fool? A clock produced here, shipped to Nanjing or Beijing, will earn at least three times the profit. Why, I don't want to do it. If you don't want to do it, tell me, I'll give you all the goods you ordered.
Get back!"
"Why, do you think I can't sell it myself?"
Wang Xuan got angry and scolded these people like Sun Tzu, but no one dared to say anything.
Everyone was just surprised just now. In fact, no one will do it if they ask anyone to give up their business channels. Just like Wang Xuan said, it is a hugely profitable business. If nothing else, even the cheapest cloth
, the profit is more than 4 cents when shipped to the north. Even if it is charged 11 cents, there is still a lot of profit.
The more these people know, the more they know that in business, as long as there are good products and good channels, the profits will be much greater than farming.
