Chapter 157 It’s hard to prosper the people, and it’s hard to destroy the people!
Zhu Jun raised his head, "What's wrong with doing business? What's wrong with building a chamber of commerce? As long as I can provide disaster victims with a livelihood to support my family and reduce the burden on the court, I am willing to do it."
As long as you can catch a mouse, no matter it is black and white.
Besides, commercial tax is also one of the taxes collected by the court. Isn’t this reducing the burden on the people and increasing the taxes of the court?
Dad, it’s not that I said you, I look down on you so foolishly and upright!”
After the words came to an end, everyone around was stunned.
Yang swallowed first. Is this what he could listen to?
Liu Ji was also stunned. This was too rebellious, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
"You said we are hypocritical and have different opinions?" Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was already pressed on his belt.
Zhu Jun realized that he was almost talking and swallowed, "Dad, if I say this, this is praising you, do you believe it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and moved his hand away from his belt, "If you are convinced, we will give you a chance. If you can convince us, not only will we not beat you up, but we will also allow you to take charge of everything in the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce.
Didn’t you just say that the more people you recruit, the less tax they pay? As long as you can convince us, we will agree!”
"Dad, this is what you said!"
"Stop talking nonsense, say it quickly, let's see what you have!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, and said to Liu Ji: "Sincerity, listen too!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Ji replied.
Zhu Jun took a deep breath. Liu Ji and Yang Xian were there now. He had to grasp the degree of his speech. After thinking about it, he said: "Dad, in fact, I started this Yingtian Chamber of Commerce not only to give the victims a long-term livelihood, but there are actually deeper considerations here!
These days, I studied with Mr. Li, and often asked my elder brother, and finally came to a conclusion."
"What's the conclusion?" Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously.
"The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering!" Zhu Jun said.
Liu Ji's eyes widened at that time. Can Crazy Zhu say such philosophical words?
Yang Xian looked surprised too.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more, "Did the boss teach you this?"
"Dad, no matter who teaches me, is it reasonable for you to say this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "There is some reason, but not much!"
He thought that this was probably taught by Zhu Yu.
"It's right to make sense!" Zhu Jun said: "The people are too hard, especially the people who work, have no guarantees, and are bullied and exploited by their bosses, and have no place to complain about their injustice!
It’s because there is a yamen, but how difficult is it for the people to beat drums and make grievances?
If you really sue your boss and lose your job, it will be difficult to find a job in the future!
So, I thought, to build a platform to meet the recruitment of workers and to make decisions for the people.
By using rules to restrain the owner, it can also protect the interests of workers.
If the worker's wages are deducted for no reason and bullied, he can go to the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce or come to the King of Wu's Mansion. Someone must come forward to do something for the people.
This is something the court has never done, it is the negligence of the court!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
This point... is indeed the negligence of the court.
"In my opinion, letting the people eat and wear warmly is just a basic condition for living, and that is not considered a prosperous era.
A Yingtian Chamber of Commerce will last forever affect Yingtian, but it cannot affect the whole country.
But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If he doesn’t do it today, and I don’t do it, who will do it?
The most important thing is that these are all disaster victims and those who have no permanent property!
They have no home and no land, and they cannot pay taxes for the court, and will also become a burden for the court. This is the unstable factor.
Once they have a long-term livelihood, they can stabilize and have food and clothing, and they will save money.
Go to consume and promote this market.
The boss recruits workers and bears these people, and at the same time, they also make more money because of their business.
Then, if they pay the part of their expenditure, they will be more profitable.
Because the court reduced the expenditure on relief to the victims, it also saved a lot of money and made steady profits without losing money. This is a virtuous cycle!
The most important thing is that these people without constant property do not pay taxes, which caused the court to lose a large amount of tax revenue.
Then when they have a stable wage, they can pay taxes, whether it is thirty or forty, or forty. In short, these taxes will naturally feed back to the court.
Of course, only for workers under the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, these workers are protected by the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce and have to pay a management fee every year. Currently, it is planned to be 10 cents per person, and they can pay the salary for the compensation.
These are all internal management of the Chamber of Commerce.
Dad, if you are interested, I can show you the management regulations of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was fascinated by it, and Zhu Jun's move was indeed very good.
Turning unstable factors into stable taxes, the court, individuals, and owners are all beneficiaries.
When the people have money, they will naturally give back to the court.
The most important thing is that the people also have a backer, and those owners who want to exploit these workers must also consider it.
It is indeed a great act of goodness.
"Sincerity, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Ji.
"I think that the King of Wu's actions are a great act of good for the sake of the people and the court!" Liu Ji's words are not flattering. If the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce can continue to operate, it will definitely digest most of the victims.
The court solved the disaster victims without a single child. This method is unique.
But, is this really the solution that Zhu Fengzi could come up with?
It should be the prince.
However, this method is more business-oriented and may have something to do with the Shen family. After all, the probability of the Shen family resigning to Zhu Jun is also quite high.
"Hmph, why do you need to charge management fees for the people?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"Dad, you're picking the bones in the eggs." Zhu Jun said helplessly: "The Yingtian Chamber of Commerce is not an institution of the court, so it always needs to maintain operation.
It costs money to draw a paper for them to make a contract and ask the lawyer to protect them.
Of course, I am willing to spend money, but I don’t care about money anyway.
But this thing is like doing business. If you keep losing money and throwing money in it stupidly, wouldn’t that be a fool?”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought, so was it.
This does require cost, and it is indeed not much for ten cents a year.
When people pick up vegetables in the capital, the soldiers guarding the gate have to ask for a 1 or 00% off.
The most important thing is that Zhu Jun attempted to set up rules to regulate this gap in the court's negligence.
This is very good.
"Okay, because you are sincerely for the people, I won't care about you anymore, but if you want tax exemption, it's not something you say with your mouth.
When writing a charter, we must consider it carefully!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Chapter completed!
