Chapter 364 Pick up the chess pieces and smash their feet
This person is still the same group of people, and things are the same, but the result is completely different.
This makes many people puzzled.
But the reason for this is not that there are more taxes, or that there are less taxes, nor that there is character, but that there is fairness.
In ancient times, tax collection was not enough. One of the important reasons was that there were many tax-free households throughout the dynasties.
Even if there is only one duty-free household, you will definitely not be able to continue playing.
If there are tax-free households, then if you don’t evade taxes, you will not compete with those tax-free large investors and will definitely find ways to obtain tax-free rights. Once you have tax-free rights, you can merge land unlimitedly. Even if you can’t get the tax-free rights, you will try your best to evade tax.
Once this becomes a consensus, then whoever pays taxes will be stupid.
There are only no tax-free households in Weihui Mansion. Unless you don’t make money, if a child doesn’t have to pay taxes, of course, beggars don’t have to pay. If you want to be a beggar than pay taxes, Guo Dan also admits it.
Brother, you are so arrogant.
Moreover, the taxes paid by everyone are the same, which is very fair.
The merchant only needs to pay more than one or two taels of tax per year, but the merchant has to be responsible for the taxes of the employees, which will not arouse everyone's disgust, because when paying taxes every year, the merchant transports a truckload of silver to pay taxes.
Everyone will not think that they earn more and pay less.
Fairness requires maintenance and supervision. The supervision model of Weihui Mansion is actually the people themselves.
Guo Dan did not send anyone to stare at him.
Weihui Mansion is a contract system. If a merchant hires someone without a contract, it is an illegal act and is not protected by the law, which harms the interests of employees. If the employee sues, the employer will face a heavy fine. However, once the contract is made, there will be a certificate, and then taxes will be paid.
This leads to the high cost of tax evasion and the higher risk. There is no need to steal one or two head taxes. If you are discovered, you will really lose money to my grandma's house. If you want to steal a lot of head taxes, it will be difficult to hide it.
Everyone has calculated this calculation. The most cost-effective result is to pay tax honestly and not to lose a penny. Some time ago, when Zhou Feng settled the accounts, he really calculated it repeatedly many times. They are not afraid of paying more, but they are afraid of paying less.
As a businessman, Guo Dan mainly considers the cost and risks when he formulates any rules. He came up with this system after precise calculations. He is very confident about this, at least there will be no problems at the moment.
Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the court were paying attention to the tax payment of Weihui Mansion, but Yinuoyaxing was busy building a money house and was not in charge of this matter.
They had to contact Weihui Mansion and the capital before the New Year, and then exchange the taxes directly from the capital. As for Nanjing, Taiyuan, Jizhou and other places, they did not worry about it step by step.
The key to the money house is the money ticket.
The Ming Dynasty already had a very complete banknote system. Many banknotes were issued in the early Ming Dynasty, but the result was an economic crisis. Due to the underdeveloped business, the country would not be destroyed.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not lack this technology.
Guo Dan only gave some suggestions on details. He basically gave this matter to Kou Weisha because Kou Weisha had to do more meticulously than him.
He still does what he is good at.
For example, checking accounts.
He went to Chen Fangyuan's house this evening to check the accounts of Xinxing. Xinxing is still serving some old customers and has not said to be fully promoted because many small and medium-sized businessmen think this is not cost-effective. Only some big businessmen are willing to hire Xinxing to collect some data, and their main business is more or less related to Guo Dan.
In fact, Guo Dan can be considered a 70-eighth without looking at it, but he saw it at the third update.
Because he came here today, checking the accounts was just a cover-up, and he was waiting for someone.
And this person is Liu Zongcheng.
At the third update, Liu Zongcheng came to the Chen family on time.
"Old man, time passes so fast. We haven't seen each other for almost a year. I wonder if the old man is in good health?"
Since the two companies joined forces to defeat the four major teeth stores last time, they have never met again. You should know that Guo Danke is also a shareholder of the Liujiayaya store. It’s the end of the year, so you have to check the accounts!
"I wish you good luck."
Liu Zongcheng laughed.
Guo Tan asked, "Isn't the old man talking slander?"
"It's definitely from the heart."
Liu Zongcheng sighed: "To be honest, two years ago, I had already taken life and death lightly because I thought that Bianer could support her teeth until you appeared. I felt that Bianer was still unable to do it, and this will to seek life is much stronger than before."
"I see."
Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile.
Liu Zongcheng took out an account and handed it over, "This is my account for this year of Yashu. You can take a look."
"You can see this later."
Guo Dan gently pressed the account book and said to Liu Zongcheng: "The old man is worthy of being the Taishan Beidou of our Yaxing. Within this year, he has integrated the official teeth of the entire capital. It is amazing, amazing."
He really came for this matter. Humph, I thought he really didn't care at all. Liu Zongcheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If someone else had said this, I might have been a little proud, but if you said this, I would be really ashamed. If you haven't seen each other this year, you will have contracted the next prefecture. Alas, you are really better than the blue one."
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Guo Dan and said, "Actually, I don't intend to hide this matter from you. I can't hide it even if I want to. I just think that I personally think that you are currently in your position and don't care about these things."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I care very much. I have always let Xinxing stare at this."
"oh?"
Liu Zongcheng frowned slightly and said, "I wonder what you think?"
Guo Dan confessed: "Somewhat dissatisfied."
Liu Zongcheng pondered for a little and said, "Although you have shares in our Yakushang, if you invest in our Yakushang, just to ensure that our Yakushang can't make more money than you, that would be a little too domineering."
Guo Dan pretended to be anxious and said, "This is such a big misunderstanding. I invest in your company. Of course, I am optimistic about your company. You have made too much money. I am not happy yet, so how can I feel dissatisfied?"
Liu Zongcheng said in confusion: "Then why are you dissatisfied?"
"I'm not satisfied, it must be because I make less money."
Guo Dan coughed lightly and continued to say, "I found that after the old man integrated the Beijing Guanya, he did not move much, and did not go further. This made me feel a little dissatisfied. Look at our shareholders of Yinuoya Store, I will take a break for a while, and they all complain."
"Going a step further?"
Liu Zongcheng said in confusion: "How do you say this?"
Guo Dan said: "Of course, we will continue to integrate the official teeth of other prefectures. For example, Linqing and Nanjing are the most prosperous places. It is not very useful to just control the capital. Transactions are for the two places to communicate."
Liu Zongcheng was stunned immediately. It turned out that you thought I was too slow to integrate! He said, "If I could integrate, of course I would also think so, but this matter is simple, but it is difficult to do it. At that time, the four major officials did not integrate the teeth of Linqing and Nanjing.
This strong dragon does not defeat local snakes. If these local dentists can give the old a little thin, it would be considered very good."
Guo smiled lightly but said nothing.
Liu Zongcheng frowned and said, "Do you have a way?"
Guo Dan's expression was calm and said seriously: "This is the purpose of my invitation to the old man today. I hope the Liu family can speed up their pace and integrate the official teeth from other places."
Liu Zongcheng hurriedly asked, "I wonder what wonderful method you have?"
"tariff."
Guo Tan said: "I believe that the old man should also know that now the officials in various prefectures hate me to the core and are trying every means to kill me. The old man can take advantage of the situation."
"Take a chance to enter?"
Liu Zongcheng became more and more confused the more he listened.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "To punish me, first of all, we must take action against the workshop of Weihui Mansion. As long as the goods from Weihui Mansion cannot be sold, I will be done. The old man can use this to provide advice to the officials in the court, requiring the prefectures to adjust tariffs for certain types of goods according to local conditions.
It’s like our Weihui Mansion. Our Weihui Mansion lacks food, so it’s tax-free to enter Weihui Mansion, but if you go out, you have to pay very high taxes, and it’s basically impossible to get out.
Similarly, in order to avoid the cheap goods from Weihui Mansion impacting the markets in various places, tariffs can be adjusted appropriately to maintain local prices and ensure the competitiveness of those small workshops.
As long as those officials adopt your advice, you will have a chance to control the teeth of other states.”
Liu Zongcheng was stunned when he heard this.
Guo Tan asked, "Don't you understand?"
"No!"
Liu Zongcheng said in surprise: "I just don't understand why you did this?"
“It’s very simple.”
Guo Tan smiled and said, "If the old man just controls the official teeth of the capital, then our cooperation will become meaningless. What I need is that you can integrate all the official teeth."
Liu Zongcheng said: "You even hesitate to hurt yourself for this?"
Guo Dan said, "This shows how sincere I am."
Liu Zongcheng looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "You and I are both businessmen. Do you think I can believe this?"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Guo Dan opened his hand slightly and then said seriously: "Let me say that, compared to those little profits, I am more eager to be the one who sets rules. The current rules are no rules, and there is no rules in various places. There is no rules, which is very unfavorable to me. Officials must be integrated and formulate a very complete set of rules. Even if this rule does not seem to be beneficial to me, as long as there is a set of rules, it will be better than now."
Liu Zongcheng frowned and thought, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt extremely frustrated, because he couldn't fully understand. If it were Guo Dan, he would never have done this. It was like shooting himself in the foot. There were so many workshops in Weihui Mansion, and you suddenly set up a tariff, which really cost you a life.
After a long time, Liu Zongcheng suddenly looked at Guo Dan and asked, "I'll take the initiative to ask, if you help me integrate Guanya, aren't you afraid that after my power grows, will you deal with you in reverse?"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "We cooperate now, not because of trust or friendship, but because cooperation is beneficial to both of us. If one day the interests of our conflicts, we will naturally have to separate, but now we must work together to make money. If two beggars sit together and quarrel over how they might be divided in the future, isn't this ridiculous?"
Liu Zongcheng laughed and said, "It's right, it's right. I haven't even made any money yet. What do you think of that?"
