Hearing that Zhao Wanrou agreed, Su Wen said seriously: "This matter did not happen overnight! What I said is just an opinion, and it may not produce good results, so don't tell your Majesty."
He said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, in Dazhou, those with power must have money. If you act rashly, it will definitely cause a huge backlash. At that time, the turmoil may exceed your and my expectations. No one can guarantee what the final outcome will be."
Zhao Wanrou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Father."
Su Wen straightened his thinking, and said: "Nowadays, in Dazhou, the wealth gap between the common people and the dignitaries is extremely huge, but no one, not even His Majesty, can directly distribute the rich and powerful's money to the common people. So I personally I think we should start with the tax system!"
"Tax system?" Zhao Wanrou murmured, "But now the taxation of the common people in Dazhou is already very low, only one tax per thirty."
Su Wen said with a smile: "Who said tax cuts? What we need to do is to classify the tax system and abolish privileged taxpayers."
"Tax classification? Elimination of privileged tax classes?"
"That's right, first of all, there are many merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the merchant tax is similar to the agricultural tax. In this way, those merchants earn much more than the common people, but pay less hard work. And many dignitaries also earn a lot of wealth through the combination of government and business!"
"The grading of the tax system is established for this reason. We can pay taxes according to the level of income. For example, those who earn less than ten taels of silver a year do not need to pay taxes. Those who earn ten taels a year pay one tax for ten taels of silver. , with an annual income of more than 40 taels, ten taxes and five! In this way, the pressure on the bottom people will be reduced. The issue of not paying taxes!"
Zhao Wanrou understood: "So the privileged taxpayers must be abolished! For example, my officials in Dazhou!"
Su Wen scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Smart! I don't pay taxes for the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the relatives within the three generations. My father doesn't know how much tax he has paid by relying on this policy, let alone other people. If this article is not abolished, even if the tax system is graded, it will be difficult to divide the money of these people."
"After the national treasury is full, His Majesty will find a way to use the money to return the aid to the people, and the people's life will improve little by little."
Speaking of this, Su Wen sighed: "But this is just speculation. Any reform has to face many practical problems, such as the abolition of privileged taxpayers, and the first ones to resist are the officials of our Dazhou! At that time, can His Majesty resist this kind of pressure? After the tax system is graded, how to supervise and supervise the income will require a lot of work! At the same time, Your Majesty will also establish a new supervision department to supervise and supervise the prices of daily necessities for the people. , set the price, and do not allow over-limit trading! Prevent those people from passing tax money on to the people! Throughout the whole week, I don’t know how many problems will arise!"
Su Wen is very clear that nothing can be solved by lip service.
Especially for this most fundamental national policy, every move must be cautious, and a little carelessness may even cause problems for the entire country.
That's why he didn't let Zhao Wanrou tell Emperor Zhou these words.
You know, there are too many examples of good intentions doing bad things.
But Su Wen didn't know that the two old men next door were already stunned!
On his side, he was discussing with Zhao Wanrou while eating, and he had almost eaten enough.
Get up and leave immediately.
The two old men were completely immersed in what Su Wen said, concentrating on their thoughts.
"The talent of heaven and earth! This person has great talent!" Ji Yuchen murmured.
Liu Mo also nodded and said: "Indeed! Listening to this person's voice, he is not very old. It is not easy to have such insight at this age, but this person can still maintain his rationality without any impatience. It is really amazing!"
In fact, what Su Wen said was just based on some knowledge from his previous life.
But in this era, it is already an epoch-making policy!
After the two digested what Su Wen said, they came back to their senses. Ji Yuchen got up and went out, only to find that Su Wen had already led Zhao Wanrou away!
"Which family's young master can have such a vision?"
Ji Yuchen murmured: "This man is so knowledgeable, he can be called the pillar of the country! But I can't wait to see each other! I hate to kill me!"
The old guy's breath was stuffed in his chest, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
He seemed to see the hope that the people of the Great Zhou would become prosperous!
Liu Mo came out, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, you and I were addicted to this person's talk just now, but never came out to meet each other! But Brother Yuchen, don't worry, listen to what the two said just now, one is a princess, The other person must also be a son of my great Zhou dignitary, and he will serve His Majesty in the future!"
Ji Yuchen blushed and said, "Nonsense! How can I not be in a hurry? How can I not be in a hurry? How can I not discuss this kind of national policy in detail? If I dedicate it to Your Majesty, maybe it can completely improve the situation of the people of our Great Zhou." Young people are afraid of their hands and feet, but an old man like me is not afraid of death!"
Liu Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't the young man say that once this strategy is implemented, it will inevitably cause huge waves. From what I see, it will not only be like this, but those who offer this strategy will even offend all the nobles of the Great Zhou!"
Ji Yuchen said disdainfully: "Then what? So what if you offend the powerful? This old man would rather beheaded than live! I'm not Guo Bin. I dare not see anyone after being slapped by Su Wen! I will definitely find this Young man! Discuss the world with him! Even if I die, I will change my millennium-year-old malpractice!"
"Aren't you afraid of blood flowing into rivers? The world is in chaos?" Liu Mo frowned.
Ji Yuchen said coldly: "When I resigned from office, I felt hopeless. The country has been established for thousands of years, and the people's lives are difficult, but I still don't know what to do! Now that the national policy has been implemented, blood will flow like rivers, so what if the world is in chaos? Without a broken heart, when will this troubled world be clear? Will the people be rich after another thousand years?"
"The strategy of the ages is ahead, how can I spare myself?"
Ji Yuchen hurriedly went to Xiao Er to inquire about Su Wen's identity and whereabouts, but it was also Su Wen's first time here, and Xiao Er didn't know him at all.
Ji Yuchen was in a hurry, took out ten taels of silver and put it in front of Xiao Er!
"You! Whenever you see this young master again, you must tell me. Thank you very much!"
Xiaoer opened his mouth wide and looked at the old man in front of him, feeling a little dazed.
Is this man crazy
You didn't look for him when he was eating here just now, but now he's gone
However, someone gave money, Xiao Er quickly accepted it, and agreed with a smile!
Ji Yuchen murmured, "That's right, what that person said is, how to supervise? I gave him ten taels of silver right now, and no one knows except the two of us. What should we do?"
