"Oh, that's right. The widows can give them money, and let them get the wealth themselves. Wealth is an inexhaustible thing." King Qin said.
"Only by setting up a factory can we add value. At the same time, after setting up a factory, we need a large number of people. After the land is merged, we can get the jobs after setting up the factory. In this way, the loss of manpower can be controlled." Shang Wen said.
"One more thing. They can produce a large amount of goods. These things can not only meet the needs of our Great Qin, but also attack the six countries in large quantities. In this way, the widows will control the economic lifeline of the six countries without bloodshed. The people of the country will turn their hearts to the great Qin. It will be God's will to rule the world." King Qin said.
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that taxes can be collected." Shang Wen said calmly.
"Hahaha. Taxation." King Qin laughed loudly.
238 Tax collection is the core issue
"Taxation. The widows have forgotten about it." King Qin said.
"Your Majesty, this issue of tax collection is unusual. It is not something that can be collected with just one royal decree. There is also an intermediate link in tax collection." Shang Wen said.
"Taxation, what kind of tax is collected, how much is collected, and who are the objects of collection." Shang Wen said.
"Oh. Is there so much to pay attention to in this taxation?" King Qin asked.
"Yes, first of all, a special tax collection committee should be established, or an organization like a parliament." Shang Wen suggested.
"Committee, parliament.?" King Qin said.
"Yes. The members of this council come from all directions. For example, Your Majesty, you can send members of the royal family, and the people can spontaneously choose celebrities who pay taxes, or people with local prestige. In this way, tax collection can be negotiated. "Shang Wen said.
"Why do you have to discuss it? Is there any reason for the widow to collect taxes?" King Qin asked.
"Your Majesty, this tax is a double-edged sword. It can kill the enemy and hurt oneself. It can rejuvenate the country and destroy the country. We have to treat it with caution." Shang Wen said respectfully.
"Excessive collection and heavy burden on the people, then the country will need to spend a lot of time to make up for the burden on the people in the future. It will affect the normal operation of the country. The adverse impact will not be like this. If it has seriously threatened the people's Survival, even an elite teacher like me, Daqin, may not be able to extinguish the fire of public anger. Therefore, we have to adopt this method of tax negotiation to solve this problem." Shang Wen said.
"En." King Qin nodded.Without talking, King Qin also needs to weigh the pros and cons.
"Your Majesty, this parliament is the place to establish the tax consultation system, and it is also a way to supervise the collection of taxes and promote the people's sense of responsibility for the entire Great Qin." Shang Wen doesn't care what the King of Qin thinks.But these have to be said.
"With this parliament, I, Daqin, can designate a financial plan. In this way, how much money will be collected and how much money will be spent. The people have an idea, and they can plan ahead for what to say. Draw up a financial plan, how much military spending. Infrastructure construction How much money is spent. In this way, isn't the use of funds more effective?"
"Everyone knows and is willing to pay taxes. For those who do not pay taxes, a special tax agency can be established to specialize in supervision and taxation. In this way, those officials who use their powers to obtain illegal income will be punished. Yes I, Daqin, can say that there are hundreds of benefits but no harm." Shang Wen said.
"Think again. Think again." King Qin waved his hand.Shangwen wanted to say something else.But seeing King Qin's refusal, Shang Wen had no choice but to say nothing.Shang Wen understood that more than [-]% of King Qin would not agree.Because royal power depends on huge taxes.Privileges are based on taxes.The reason why Europe protects the capitalist revolution is because of the issue of taxation, which has become a point of entry for sharp contradictions.It is also a place where contradictions converge.
Fast-growing business activities, able to get a lot of money.However, contradictions followed. If you have more money, you have to pay taxes.The more taxes are paid, the more desires the royal family will have.The speed of money growth cannot keep up with the growth of human desires.The former requires time to accumulate, while the latter only requires delusion.In this way, conflicts will arise sooner or later.
If you have a lot of desire, you will try to solve those things that you can't do if you want to, and expand your territory.A grand palace.And the gorgeous royal life.Money is spent like water.Naturally, it will soon be short-lived.In order to make up for it, taxes will be levied wantonly.The first taxation, the public can accept.The second time, people can complain, but the third time, the fourth time.The people will be angry and retaliate.Everyone pays taxes.Why the right to get is not guaranteed.
Dissatisfaction will flood the entire country.Contradictions will erupt.England could behead the king.So can the French.Americans can say no to arrogant Brits.The Chinese can treat the royal family, the royal family.Take the bloodiest revenge.
The root of it all.Who can say clearly.Problems will arise, and only a solution that can be mitigated by both parties can be adopted.But not yet.King Qin would not agree yet.Maybe he was too anxious to leave.
Naofumi began to rethink his approach.Some ideas are indeed a bit advanced, such as the issue of arms exports mentioned repeatedly before.King Qin repeatedly refused.But when this problem develops to a certain extent.King Qin would naturally think of the root of the problem.Take the necessary measures.
For example, tax issues.Shangwen began to feel that he was a little anxious to leave.This time, I was really in a hurry to leave.Before the taxation has begun, a parliament to manage and control the taxation will be established in advance.The king of Qin hadn't enjoyed the fun of taxation yet, but he suddenly had an institution that enforced his own rights.Such a thing.The resistance is naturally great.In contrast to what has been done before, it is often that things are planned in advance before they start.How is the result.The plan cannot keep up with the reform.Many things happen naturally.Some of my own practices, on the contrary, are suspected of hindering its development.
"Your Majesty, I think that you can first set up a special agency for tax management. This agency will be directly managed by Wang Shang. In this way, Your Majesty can bypass the superimposed effect of local governments, which will lead to a lot of waste of money." Shang Wen After figured it out.Take immediate steps to divert the conversation away.And the plan starts to take one step, one step at a time.
King Qin was also thinking about some of Shang Wen's thoughts.The idea is very good, but in practice, there are serious drawbacks.At the same time, it does not meet the wishes of the widow.
"En." King Qin nodded.
"Sir, what did you say? You think too deeply about the problem." King Qin responded.
"Your Majesty, you can set up a special taxation agency. It can be used to collect taxes, so that you can avoid the local government's deduction and fraud." Shang Wen can only propose a compromise.First of all, the power of fiscal taxation was directly transferred to zhong yangzheng fu.In this way, a series of small means adopted by local governments on taxation issues can be effectively controlled.
However, the tax return to the central yang, such a measure, has not been resolved in ancient times.Collecting taxes often becomes an opportunity for local officials to make a fortune.It is precisely because of this.Only in the local area will there be problems arising from a large amount of taxation.Shangwen's move will solve this problem in one fell swoop.tax.The local government only has the right to govern.The power to levy taxes was completely reverted to zhong yang.
"En. Very good. The widow agrees." After Qin Wang thought about it.Approve now.
In this way, it can be regarded as a small progress.At the very least, the local government will not impose arbitrary taxes.
239 It's all the fault of the artillery
In the land of Yanzhao in the north.A ten-man cavalry squad of Zhao Jun is rapidly searching and advancing.They were ordered to investigate all possible problems ahead.The most important thing is to find out the details of Yan Jun.
At the same time, a Yan army brigade with more than 8000 people was slowly advancing.They escorted the artillery produced by Yan State itself.The number of these artillery pieces is as high as 59.
It's almost a production miracle.Even the State of Qin could not produce so many artillery pieces in a short period of time.And all this is due to the strong "support" of Juxin. Regardless of the production of artillery, a large number of imitations began, only looking at the quantity of production, not the quality of production.Single pursuit quantity.under this urgent need.The number of artillery has soared to such a large number in a short period of time.This has to be said to be a miracle.
"Da da" there was a rush of hoofbeats.The rapid sound of horseshoes immediately attracted the attention of General Yan Jun, Qing Qin.So I instinctively picked up the binoculars to check.This telescope was a gift from Qin Jun.
"Yes, it's Zhao Jun. Hurry up, set up the cannon and fire the cannon." Qing Qin shouted loudly.
As soon as the people below heard that there was Zhao Jun, they immediately set up artillery to shoot in panic.
Zhao Jun's team also found this huge Yan Jun team and stopped immediately.Check the situation of Yan Jun from a distance.
"Boss, what should we do?" Zhao Jun asked at the bottom.
"Spread out, let's get closer to investigate, then follow behind, and after finding out the situation, quickly report to the general." Commander Zhao Jun ordered
"Here." Zhao Jun soldiers agreed one after another.
"Prepare" and "Release." A Yan Army artillery was ready first.They fired immediately.
"Whoosh." A cannonball roared into the distance.It's still a hundred thousand steps away from Zhao Jun's position just now, so there's no way to talk about any accuracy.Yanjun artillery does not have any aiming equipment.Even the gun mounts are just simple imitations.Even the quasi-signal and ruler were not installed.Such artillery can't talk about any accuracy at all.
"Check out the Yan army's artillery, and evacuate quickly. Hurry up." Commander Zhao quickly ordered.
Everyone silently separated and quickly stepped forward.
"Boom. Boom." Yan Jun kept firing cannons, but they couldn't hit Zhao Jun's cavalry.Zhao Jun's cavalry stepped forward quickly.It quickly passed the edge of the Yan army, and then disappeared quickly.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots. With so many big cannons, they can't hit a few Zhao Jun." The chief general, Qing Qin, cursed.There's no way around this either.Those who can operate artillery are all in Julu.And some of these artillery soldiers that have been improvised can't even figure out the loading steps.In addition, the artillery has no aiming equipment.If you can't hit it, that's strange.
This episode did not immediately arouse Yan Jun's vigilance.Pack the cannons, and everyone starts on the road.
And this team quickly reported the situation to Li Mu.Li Mu took immediate measures.He began to gather troops and quickly approached the Yan army.
The Yanzhao Plain is unobstructed.Zhao Jun assembled [-] cavalry and quickly caught up with Yan Jun's large group of troops.
Three thousand cavalrymen lined up in three formations, pressing down neatly on the Yan army, and the soldiers of the Yan army began to quickly set up their artillery and fire.At this time, the two armies were separated by two miles.
There are no orders, no commands.Yan Jun's artillery fire was very messy.
The artillery fired intermittently.The distance of two miles is still within the effective range of the artillery.
"Boom. Boom." "Whoosh." The roaring shells first hit the ground, and then bounced up and hit Zhao Jun.The artillery with an increased caliber is also more powerful. After the solid shells were fired, they smashed the Zhao Jun cavalry into pieces.The cannonball hit the horse's neck, smashing the cavalry along with the horse.The minced meat was smashed all over the place.The blood and blood immediately stimulated this group of outstanding soldiers.
After seeing the powerful artillery, Zhao Jun's cavalry began to charge.The distance is a bit far, but the attack must be launched.Take advantage of the speed of cavalry to quickly approach the enemy.
