The first thousand one hundred and seventy-eight chapters of the new tax policy
Dai Jinyun heard this and said happily: "In everything, just follow the teacher's instructions."
At this time, the butler walked in and reported: "Sir, the food is ready."
Dai Zhou stood up in a hurry, holding Du He with his left hand and Dai Jinyun with his right hand. He said happily: "Du He, Jin Yun, today, I specially asked my servant to bring out the fine wine that I have collected for many years. You two want to drink it."
Just have fun."
If Dai Zhou was still helping Du He just now, by now, Dai Zhou has begun to be grateful to Du He.
His biggest worry has always been that Dai Jinyun gave up the opportunity to serve as an official in the court and focused on studying food.
Now, with Du He's help, this knot has finally been resolved.
Du He said: "How dare you disobey your orders!"
After the meal, Du He said goodbye and left. Dai Jinyun greeted Dai Zhou and followed Du He out of Dai's house.
…
Return to the county government office.
Du He immediately called Zhang San and Li Si into the main hall and introduced: "This is my disciple, Dai Jinyun, the dean of the Food Research Institute!"
Zhang San hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Dai. Mr. Dai studied delicious food and was appreciated by His Majesty. He was made a county man. Everyone in Chang'an City knows about him."
Du He said: "This young master plans to reform the commercial tax in Chang'an City and prepare to establish a tax bureau in Wannian County. As for the collection of commercial taxes, we will refer to the model of Hu County. Tomorrow morning, Wei Shuyu, the magistrate of Hu County, will meet
Some people from the Hu County Taxation Bureau will be transferred to help. Jin Yun will be in charge of the Wannian Taxation Bureau, and you two will assist. If the matter is done well, there will be heavy rewards. If you dare to bend the law for personal gain, don't blame me.
polite!"
Zhang San said hurriedly: "Sir, you are kind to me. I can do whatever you want me to do."
Li Si said: "Me too!"
Du He ordered: "The manpower transferred from the Hu County Taxation Bureau will not arrive until tomorrow. Jin Yun, you will take them with you today to post our new tax policy in Chang'an City so that all merchants will know in advance!
"
"Yes." Dai Jinyun nodded in agreement.
…
The Wannian Taxation Bureau was newly established and everything started from scratch.
If Dai Jinyun were to do it himself, he would probably not be able to complete it within a few years. Fortunately, Du He had already drawn up all the plans, and Dai Jinyun only needed to execute them.
Not long after, a horse-drawn carriage from the Dream Group's Datang Study Room arrived at the county government office, delivering a printed notice of the new tax policy.
Dai Jinyun immediately asked Zhang San and Li Si to borrow a few people from the Wannian Security Team, and then took the guys with them and began to post notices all over Chang'an City, focusing on the East and West markets.
The new tax policy is also simple, similar to the tax policy implemented in Huxian County, which is to change the previous complicated tax policy and directly change it into a value-added tax. This value-added tax is different from the value-added tax of later generations, but it is a simple and crude approach to the circulation of goods.
Taxes are levied on the added value generated. For example, if a grain bank wholesales grain from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center to Chang'an City for sale, the tax collected is 10% of the profit earned by the grain bank.
This method can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and is scientific and reasonable.
In this way, all merchants doing business in Chang'an City need to set up account books.
Slightly different from the tax policy of Hu County, Duhe exempts merchants who earn less than 50 guan from tax per month. This means that the small businessmen who are everywhere in Chang'an City will not be taxed under the new tax policy.
Taxes need to be paid.
…
As soon as Chang'an City's new tax policy came out, there was a lot of discussion.
The small businessmen clapped their hands and praised Du He for his wisdom.
The big merchants had objections at first, but then they died down. It was not because someone suppressed it, but because the big merchants suddenly discovered that this new tax policy would not affect their own interests, but would bring endless benefits.
Sikong Mansion.
In the backyard, in the study.
Changsun Chong asked in confusion: "Dad, you said that Du He actually took over the tax collection of the entire Chang'an City, and also promulgated a new tax policy, and introduced a value-added tax that no one understands.
Why is there no one objecting? Has he already bribed everyone in advance?"
Changsun Wuji suddenly laughed: "Chong'er, if you can have such an idea, it means that you have grown up and you are very happy to be a father... If you think about it carefully, will those small businessmen oppose Du He?"
Changsun Chong shook his head and analyzed: "No, now there are small businessmen everywhere in Chang'an City. Most of these people got up because of the Dream Group. They will not oppose Du He. Moreover, this new tax policy, these
People don’t need to pay taxes, it’s too late for them to be happy.”
"What about the big businessmen?"
"I don't know, kid!" Changsun Chong said honestly.
Changsun Wuji did not blame Changsun Chong, but explained: "In the past, although big businessmen secretly did not pay taxes, they always had to pay some, otherwise the court would not let them go, but it is different now... New
Once the tax policy is implemented, Du He requires all the merchants in Chang'an City to set up account books. At the end of the month, they will go to the Wannian Taxation Bureau to pay the taxes themselves. What do you think they will do? By then, I am afraid that some big merchants will take it.
The account book proves that the profit he earned this month is less than 50 guan, and most big businessmen, in their account books, the profit earned is only a few hundred guan, and the taxes paid are only a few dozen guan...
"
Changsun Chong suddenly realized.
He patted his head and said: "Dad, I understand. Big businessmen earn thousands or tens of thousands of guan every month. However, in the account books, they only say that they have earned a few hundred guan. In this way, they can pay a lot less."
The tax... No wonder no one stood up to oppose it."
Changsun Wuji said earnestly: "Since ancient times, whenever new policies are implemented, they will be opposed by many people. This time, Du He made such a big move, but no one in Chang'an City came out to oppose it. This proves that this new tax policy,
It’s not something to be afraid of at all, it might even become a joke.”
"Hahaha, Du He is so embarrassed this time!" Changsun Chong said proudly.
…
Dai Mansion.
The housekeeper hurriedly walked into the backyard, holding a box in his hand, and said to Dai Zhou: "Sir, this is the land deed sent by Prince Consort Du. It is 10,000 acres of land in Hu County."
Dai Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Du to still remember this. It's just 10,000 acres of land. I, Dai Mansion, have plenty of land. You can handle it on your own."
Dai Zhou didn't take these ten thousand acres of land seriously.
After all, Dai Zhou was also a minister, and his family was neither short of money nor land.
He didn't pay any attention to the mere 10,000 acres of land in a remote area of Huxian County.
But the housekeeper looked troubled and said, "Master, I'm afraid things are not that simple!"
"Huh?" Dai Zhou was suddenly stunned. Could it be that there are still some pitfalls in this 10,000 acres of land? "What's going on?"
