This approach can completely get rid of the entire Great Yi Dynasty's demand for food, and the emphasis on farming can be reduced. This is a cultivator's civilization. The Yun Dynasty is a cultivator's dynasty. It is impossible and unnecessary to put most of the manpower and material resources on farming. That is a waste and completely worthless.
Never levy taxes, and the tax here refers to land tax.
He wanted to release the thoughts of many people, not to focus on the fields, but on cultivation, on developing civilization, innovation, and creating all kinds of new things and new ideas. Those with talent can take the path of monks and become strong. Whether in the army or the Hunter Hall, it is an excellent way out.
Becoming stronger and stronger, everyone is like a dragon, this is the kind of people Yi Tianxing hopes to see.
"allow!!"
Yi Tianxing nodded and said, "Each immortal city will open up an area as official farmland, and this must be carried out as a national policy. The official farmland will be used to hire common people for farming, and their wages must not be in arrears. The official warehouses built in each immortal city must be filled with grain within a year. Make the most thorough preparations."
In his imagination, the scale of the official warehouse must be large enough to sustain a population of over a million people for ten years without exhausting the reserves. Under normal circumstances, this approach would only result in the food rotting, and if it could not be eaten, it would be fed to rats. But in the cultivation civilization, this is not impossible. There are space equipment and storage magic weapons. To store food, not only does it take up less space and be more inconspicuous, but it can also be stored for a longer time. As long as there is no accident, the food placed in the storage equipment can maintain its freshness even after hundreds or thousands of years.
Such an official warehouse can be located anywhere, which can ensure confidentiality.
Safety can be fully guaranteed.
"You can choose not to collect taxes, but you can't. Without taxes, the dynasty will have no income. How can we gather money from all over the world and build the Great Yi Dynasty? Taxation is an indispensable part of ensuring the majesty of the dynasty."
Huang Chengyan spoke.
Taxes can be exempted, which is beneficial to the people of the world. It is a virtuous policy. But taxes must be collected. Without taxes, it is like water without a source, which is difficult to sustain. No matter how big the family is, it will be exhausted. If there is no taxation, the majesty of a dynasty will be scattered to the ground.
Never levying taxes is already a benevolent policy.
This is absolutely not the case with taxation.
At this point, all the ministers in the hall nodded in agreement.
"Taxes must be collected. There is no country without taxes. However, how much to collect and what types of taxes to collect all require careful planning. However, I also have some simple opinions on taxation."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
There are many types of taxes.
It is just like the Qing Dynasty back then, which formulated a national policy of never increasing taxes to demonstrate its benevolence and grace to the world.
However, they did not think that under the premise of never increasing taxes, the tax rate at that time was already quite high. Never increasing taxes means that the tax rate was relatively high at that time. Moreover, never increasing taxes is fine, but taxes are increased again and again. Various exorbitant taxes are heavier than the taxes that have been exempted.
Never increasing taxes was just a fig leaf that the Qing Dynasty used to cover up the Manchus. It was completely useless.
Yi Tianxing naturally didn't want to make a policy of never collecting taxes, and then have other messy taxes appear later. That would be a slap in his own face.
"Your Majesty, please give your instructions."
All the ministers said in unison.
You know, taxation is complicated, it was like that in any dynasty.
In ancient China, the taxation system was based on land tax, which was the household tax and capitation tax attached to land, supplemented by commercial tax, which included customs duties and market taxes.
This tax system was initially formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; it was gradually perfected in the Qin and Han Dynasties; and it was continuously reformed and improved on the basis of equal distribution of land during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the destruction of the equal distribution of land, the trend of land annexation became more and more popular. On the basis of continuous land measurement and land registration, the land, household and capitation taxes were gradually combined, and the collection system of commercial taxes and commodity taxes such as salt, tea and wine was strengthened, making commercial taxes and commodity taxes an important source of fiscal revenue for the late feudal China.
In fact, these tax systems are very complicated, and some things are even taxed repeatedly. It is an extremely complicated process to calculate the statistics.
Yi Tianxing did not intend to make taxation so complicated.
All systems must be based on convenience and speed.
Only by being fast and effective can we create a more brilliant civilization. In a shorter period of time, the Great Yi Dynasty will become stronger and its foundation will increase.
"As for taxation, I have decided to collect only two types. One is business tax, which businessmen must pay. The other is road tax, which is also the toll." Yi Tianxing said in a deep voice.
"Do commercial taxes need to be levied at different rates depending on the items being sold? Does road tax refer to tolls and the fees for entering and exiting the city gates?" Wu Yong asked with a hint of doubt.
"The commercial tax is unified. Regardless of the type of goods being traded, whether they are expensive or cheap, the tax rate is 10%. 10% of the value of the goods is collected as tax. This applies to all transactions."
"The road tax is not the tax for entering and leaving the city gate, but the fee for the teleportation array. The official fees for the teleportation arrays between the major immortal cities are all charged uniformly. Among these fees, except for the consumption used for the operation of the teleportation array, the rest of the income is included in the dynasty's taxation. As for the entrance fee for entering and leaving the immortal city, it shall not be collected."
Yi Tianxing said slowly.
The commercial tax is 10%, not too high or too low, just right, and completely within a range that everyone can accept. The cost of the teleportation array is also the biggest part of the tax. The teleportation array was built by the Great Yi Dynasty. It is completely controlled by the government. Each teleportation requires a corresponding fee, which is charged according to the distance. Among these, part of it is the cost of the teleportation array itself, and part of it is pure income, pure profit.
Given the convenience of the teleportation array and the dangers omnipresent in the wilderness, traveling between places would obviously rely on the teleportation array. After all, the distance between the immortal cities would not be too close, and if one rashly entered the wilderness, one would be playing with one's own life.
Based on the number of people who use the teleportation array every day, the profit that can be generated by the teleportation array alone is an extremely astonishing figure. If this is used as tax, a huge amount of tax can definitely be collected.
Xue Jin was naturally very clear about this, and a look of relief appeared on his face after hearing it.
He is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry is the purse of a dynasty. All departments need money to operate. If there is no money, he, as the accountant, will have a hard time.
As for the 10% commercial tax, he used to be a businessman and felt that this tax rate could be implemented.
If a businessman runs his business well, he will definitely make a lot of money. The profits he gets are quite amazing. He even feels that the 10% tax is a bit too little. This is a benevolent policy.
As various national policies were discussed one after another, the various systems of the entire Great Yi Dynasty, as well as what to do next, were gradually sorted out. The planning was completed. As soon as the meeting was over, preparations began.
Time passed by unknowingly.
The morning meeting lasted directly from early morning to afternoon.
During the journey, Lai He personally cooked delicious meals and sent them to Chaotian Hall. They even ate in there. The heated discussions made the physical conditions of the Dayi Dynasty more and more perfect.
At this moment, a look of joy appeared on Yi Tianxing's face.
As soon as he thought about it, his mind appeared in the sea of luck and clouds. It also appeared in the sky of luck.
It can be seen that a crystal ball like a star appears in the Qiyun Tianchi. Looking closely, it can be seen that there are countless tiny stars in the crystal ball. Gathered together, it looks like a vast sea of stars, with brilliant nebulae everywhere, countless stars flickering, flickering, and each one is completely different.
There are absolutely no two stars that are exactly the same.
In the vast starry sky, one could clearly see a lifelike and peerless goddess standing tall. Sitting in the starry sky. Endless starlight shone all over her body. It was as if she was the supreme god in the world, controlling everything.
“Xing’er!!”
Yi Tianxing looked at the figure inside, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Inside is the true spirit of Xingwang, whom he adopted as his daughter and named Yi Xinghai. Now she seems to have become more profound and mysterious than before.
At some point, a third eye appeared on the forehead.
The entire starry sky was emitting a dreamlike color. Countless stars were moving, and no one knew what had happened. The most mysterious thing was that a brilliant star ring appeared outside her body.
This star ring revolved around the body, and countless stars were flashing, like a vast galaxy. It was amazing to watch. It seemed that it was a completely independent world. Various dreamy colors emerged in it. It seemed that various pictures were constantly flashing.
"Xing'er has met her father."
The Star Network True Spirit opened its eyes and looked at Yi Tianxing, with a hint of resilient joy flashing in its eyes. It seemed that it was very happy about Yi Tianxing's arrival.
"You... have completed your transformation."
Feeling the difference from before, Yi Tianxing smiled and spoke slowly.
"Well, Xing'er has completed the promotion. She has completely integrated the Mage's Eye and the Magical Pearl, absorbed the power of the two treasures, and transformed the Star Network, completing the promotion. It is now a Mystical Treasure. Moreover, it is connected to the fate and can be integrated into the sea of fate at any time, and become one with the fate of the Great Yi Dynasty. As long as the Great Yi is immortal, the Star Network will be immortal."
Xinghai said quickly.
There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, and he seemed to be getting closer and closer to humans.
"After fusing the two rare treasures and completely upgrading, what new capabilities does the Star Network have?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
The Star Network will be a core existence for the Dayi Dynasty.
