Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Those drawbacks within Dazhou are slowly being eliminated.

Whether it is the change of the land system or the reform of the tax system, it is aimed at the chronic ailments that have been accumulating for a long time.

These stubborn diseases grow inside Da Zhou like a tumor, poisoning the major nerves inside Da Zhou.

Only when this tumor is completely removed can Da Zhou recover and prosper.

Zhou Chen believes that as long as these drawbacks within Da Zhou are eliminated, the road after Da Zhou will be smooth.

However, Zhou Chen understands that it is not something that can be done in a short time if you want to eliminate these drawbacks within Da Zhou.

These drawbacks of Da Zhou have been accumulated over a long period of time for decades, or even hundreds of years.

It takes time to get rid of it completely and see the effect.

...

Golden Palace.

A new day starts early.

Zhou Chen sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

Below, the civil and military officials stood on both sides of the hall.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

The shrill voice of the inner servant factory guard sounded.

Now, Cao Zhengchun cooperated with the backing king to leave Luoyang to collect private soldiers from aristocratic families.

Cao Shaoqin also followed Xun Yu to leave Luoyang, and went to investigate the land that was seized by wealthy families in various places.

Therefore, there were only a few factory guards who followed Zhou Chen to court.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

As soon as the voice of the inner servant factory guard fell, the minister of the household department stood up and said.

"speak."

Zhou Chen glanced at the minister of the household who stood up and spit out a word.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister feels that it is not right to cancel tariffs and encourage business development..."

Tobe Shirou said very directly.

When the other civil and military officials heard this, their expressions changed.

Some officials were even a little frightened in their hearts, thinking to themselves; what kind of wind is this household servant today, how bold, and dare to question His Majesty's previous orders so bluntly, doesn't he want to live?

You must know that the abolition of tariffs and the encouragement of business development were, after all, an order given by His Majesty in person before.

Now, when Mr. Tobu said these words, isn't he questioning His Majesty's previous orders?

Zhou Chen raised his brows slightly when he heard the words of the minister of the household, a little surprised.

Since Zhou Chen cleaned up the court, it has been a long time since a minister dared to question his emperor's order so bluntly.

"Your Majesty, tariffs are a very important part of my weekly tax collection."

"Since His Majesty's decree to cancel the tariff, until now, in just a few days, the tax revenue of my household has dropped by more than half."

"The meager business tax can't make up for the loss of the abolition of tariffs. If things go on like this, I'm afraid my tax revenue in Dazhou will drop to the extreme."

Shirou Tobe said loudly.

After Xun Yu left Luoyang and went to investigate the incidents of wealthy families in various parts of the world stealing land, all the affairs of the Ministry of Household were presided over by the minister of the Ministry of Household.

However, since the order to cancel the tariffs was issued, the tax collected by the Ministry of Household these days has been directly reduced by more than half.

This made the Minister of the Household have to worry. If things go on like this, the taxation of the Household may not even be able to maintain the normal operation of the court.

You know, Dazhou's land tax is collected once a year, but other taxes are not.

The normal operation of the imperial court is maintained by these taxes from other aspects.

If these taxes in other areas fall, there will be problems with the functioning of the court.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry had to question this morning.

"Also, abolishing tariffs and encouraging business development is equivalent to letting business develop. Once business develops, businessmen make more money. The people of Dazhou will definitely abandon agriculture and start business. At that time, my Dazhou agriculture will be abandoned. The land will also face the problem of desolation..."

Tobu Shirou said again.

"Your Majesty, the most fundamental foundation of my week is agriculture and food."

"If there is no food, what will I eat and drink during the week, even if the business is prosperous, it will be of no use."

"I also ask Your Majesty to reconsider and withdraw the intention to cancel the tariff."

Having said that, Shirou Tobu knelt directly on the ground.

The minister of the household understands what Zhou Chen means. He knows that Zhou Chen cancels tariffs and encourages business development. This is to develop business.

However, if there is no food, any development will be rootless.

Only when there is enough food in the treasury, will Da Zhou have sufficient confidence and Da Zhou will be stable.

Otherwise, if you can't even get enough to eat, what else is there to say.

What's more, in the opinion of the Minister of the Ministry, Da Zhou wants to promote business, and this tariff should not be cancelled.

What is the purpose of prospering business, isn't it to add tax to Da Zhou?

If tariffs are abolished, what is the significance of Dazhou Xingshang?

The words of the minister of the household department shocked all the civil and military officials in the hall.

Civil and military officials all know that the Minister of Household is right. Tariffs are a very important tax in Dazhou. As for other commercial taxes, they can’t be collected at all.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

Since ancient times, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and merchants have always been in the lowest position.

How much can they have?

The real big taxpayers in Dazhou rely on the people from the land from beginning to end...

Never been a businessman.

No matter how prosperous the business is, no matter how many merchants there are, it cannot compare to the taxation of the people of the land.

Even promoting business will increase the number of businessmen, and will make some common people and farmers abandon their land to engage in businessmen, leaving the land deserted.

Moreover, some of the ministers vaguely felt that Zhou Chen, the emperor, just abolished tariffs and encouraged business development. In addition to wanting to develop business, he also wanted to improve the status of businessmen.

With the removal of tariffs, businessmen will naturally make more money, and as a result, more people will engage in business and develop business...

And the more merchants, the greater the influence, and by then, the status of the merchants will naturally rise.

It's just that what these ministers don't understand is, what is the use of raising the status of businessmen?

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Household is right."

"Your Majesty's decree to cancel tariffs and encourage business development, as a minister should obey."

"It's just that the tariffs are cancelled and the business is prosperous, which is not good for me in the big week. On the contrary, it will reduce my tax revenue and the land will be abandoned..."

"Your Majesty, I have also paid attention to some business conditions in Luoyang these days. The cancellation of tariffs has indeed reduced my tax revenue a lot, and the newly proposed commercial tax is not enough to make up for the previous tariffs..."

Following the opening of the Minister of the Ministry, a minister stood up and said.

Before, under the influence of the emperor Zhou Chen, although these officials had objections in their hearts, they did not dare to directly question the emperor's will.

After all, Zhou Chen, the emperor's methods in the court during this period of time, made the hearts of the ministers tremble.

But now, since the Minister of the Household has begun, these ministers who have objections to this are not pretending to be deaf and dumb, standing up and expressing their objections.

Zhou Chen on the dragon chair heard the words of the Minister of the Ministry, and glanced at the other ministers who stood up to speak, and there was not much change in the expression on his face.

Although the minister of the household questioned Zhou Chen's previous will, Zhou Chen, the emperor, was a little dissatisfied.

But Zhou Chen knew that the Minister of the Household was also thinking of Da Zhou, and was one of the few loyal and good old ministers left in the Da Zhou court.

"I canceled the tariffs in order to increase the circulation of goods. As for the lost customs tax, it can be supplemented from the newly proposed commercial tax."

"At the beginning, you may not see the effect, but I believe it will take a long time for you to see the effect."

Zhou Chen put his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair and said slowly.

Can the newly proposed business tax be supplemented to the customs tax?

The Minister of the Ministry and these ministers all looked in disbelief.

If the newly proposed business tax can supplement the canceled customs tax, then the tax collected by the Ministry of Household these days will not drop by more than half.

Zhou Chen saw it in his eyes and didn't give any further explanation.

Because no matter how much Zhou Chen said, it would be difficult for Shi Lang and the others to understand the benefits of a prosperous business.

In fact, you can't blame them either.

This is the limitation of the times.

Not only in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in all dynasties, the status of merchants has never been higher.

Even the most wise emperor, no matter how wise ministers are, can't realize how much potential businessmen have...

But Zhou Chen knew that in the past life, the status of businessmen, high terror, and commercial prosperity were also a sign that could indirectly measure whether a country was strong or not.

Even some top chaebols can directly interfere with regime change and control the lifeblood of a country.

It can be seen that business is the most important and indispensable part of the prosperity of a country.

Of course, none of these Zhou Chen could explain it to the Minister of the Household and the others.

Zhou Chen believes that Xun Yu and Xiao He, these outstanding people, may have doubts about this in their hearts!

It's just that Xun Yu and Xiao He are both outstanding people who signed by Zhou Chen, and they trust Zhou Chen very much, so they didn't question his will.

In fact, it does.

Neither Xiao He nor Xun Yu could see the prospect and potential of a prosperous business.

It's just that they felt that Zhou Chen, the emperor, must have the emperor's intentions to do so.

Therefore, Xiao He and the others did not question Zhou Chen's will, but did their best to combine Zhou Chen's meaning and some of their suggestions to formulate a new business tax system.

"As for the people who will abandon agriculture and engage in business..."

Zhou Chen's brows furrowed, his eyes twinkling.

This point, Zhou Chen really did not think of it.

Zhou Chen would never have thought of this if it wasn't for the reminder from the Minister of the Ministry of Housing today.

With the removal of tariffs and encouragement of business development, there is no doubt that Dazhou's business will definitely usher in a take-off development in the future.

But in this way, just as the minister of the household was worried, the merchants made money and their status improved, and the peasants and the common people would definitely be envious when they saw it.

At that time, farmers and common people would try to abandon farming and go into business.

If that is the case, there may be a lot of land waste in Dazhou, and there will be problems with land taxation.

Therefore, it is necessary to make effective restrictions on farmers who may abandon agriculture and engage in business.

Otherwise, if the peasants and the common people are all engaged in business, then who will plant the land in Dazhou?

There is a saying by the minister of the household that is right, the root of the big week is food.

You can't destroy the Great Wall just because you want to promote business and collect a little more business tax...

Prosperity of business is important, but land and food cannot be relaxed.

However, the degree of this needs to be strictly grasped.

Otherwise, just throw the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen glanced at the minister of the household who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "As for the people who will abandon agriculture and engage in business, and waste the land, the servant of the household will pass on my will."

"The minister accepts the order."

The Minister of Tobe bowed his head to the ground and said loudly.

"It is announced to the world that no matter who it is, all the fertile fields whose measurements are registered and who do not cultivate them within two years, the fertile fields will be returned to the imperial court."

As soon as Zhou Chen's voice fell, the eyes of the Minister of the Household and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs lit up, and everything became clear.

If the fertile land is not cultivated within two years, it will be owned by the imperial court.

In this way, after the establishment of commerce, the people may abandon agriculture to engage in commerce, and the problem of land waste will be solved.

As soon as this decree came out, even if the people wanted to abandon agriculture and engage in business, they had to consider the consequences of the land being abandoned.

Otherwise, the land will be owned by the imperial court.

You know, for most ordinary people, the land is their basic family property.

They can abandon farming and engage in business and let their land be abandoned for a few years, but they will never completely abandon the land and let the court take it back.

Of course, nothing is without exceptions.

If there are people who have abandoned the land, then after the land is recovered by the court, the court will distribute it to the people who need to cultivate, so that ~www.wuxiahere.com~ the land will never be abandoned from beginning to end.

At this moment, Shirou Tobu was filled with emotion.

For him, the problem that the land may be abandoned after the establishment of business is an unsolved problem. Even if he thinks about it, he has never been able to come up with the best of both worlds.

It was only in the morning when the Minister of the Household played Zhou Chen.

But who would have thought that such a problem, in the eyes of the emperor, was solved with a single will.

This is royal power!

Can easily solve a problem that one person or many people can never solve.

"The minister obeys the order."

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing bowed his head to the decree.

Now that the problem that this land may be abandoned has been solved, regarding the issue of customs tax, the Minister of the Ministry can only listen to Zhou Chen and look at it after a while.

If the result at that time is still the same as it is now, then it will not be too late for him to play again.

After all, the current Ministry of Household treasury is very full, and it is not worse than the customs tax at this time.

"Aiqing, get up!"

Zhou Chen glanced at the minister of the household and said.

Although the talents of these veterans are not top-notch, they are still very thoughtful.

If it wasn't for the minister of the household to play today, Zhou Chen would not have considered this.

It seems that in the future, we will have to listen to the thoughts of these old ministers.

Zhou Chen thought silently in his heart.

Shirou Tobu stood up and stepped aside.

Afterwards, other ministers also stood up one after another, and after playing some other things, the Zaochao was approaching the end.

"Retreat."

With the sharp voice of the inner servant factory guard, the morning came to an end.

Zhou Chen was the first to get up and leave the Golden Palace. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
