Can this not make a fuss?

Tax law reform, haha, this is related to everyone's interests.

Since ancient times, any reform worthy of relishing has been started with taxation.

Anyone who does not involve tax law reform will not be able to gain a big picture in history.

But this is often the case.

At this time, all the monsters and monsters emerged.

But because the situation is special this time, because the emperor requested the reform of the tax law, the voices of opposing reform in the court were relatively low, and everyone was arguing about how to change it.

In fact, they still fight to change or not.

Because if the result cannot be achieved, then there is no way to change it!

The bureaucrats are really good at playing this trick!

Since they either really wanted to reform or disrupt the situation and prevented Wang Xijue and others from carrying out reforms, this style of painting went astray from the beginning.

The emperor's request was to increase tax revenue and reduce the burden on the people, but due to the memorial of increasing commercial tax and reducing agricultural tax, the dispute between the court and the middle school changed from increasing tax revenue to suppressing agriculture and suppressing commerce and suppressing agriculture.

The interest groups in the surrounding areas, such as Wu Qinghou, Duke Zhang Yuangong, Chen Yinzhao and others, supported both sides because they knew that this could not be opposed. After all, the emperor spoke, and opposing the emperor was absolutely not allowed. Their purpose was to create chaos, and the further you go, the better.

The court was indeed messed up by them. Everyone expressed their opinions. It seemed like swords and swords were full of dangers, but behind their backs, they were in harmony.

This is the consequence of Wanli's will. At present, the court does not have the basis for reform. No one can integrate the court. If reform is proposed at this time, no one can suppress it.

However, Wang Xijue and the others were also calm. After all, they had experienced many failures. The key point was that the emperor took the initiative to reform the tax law. They did not need to rush to argue with them. As long as the emperor did not take back the fate, the matter could continue!

But then again, Wang Xijue did not have the same method as Zhang Juzheng. He could not be powerful and then promoted reform. He must rely on the emperor's support on the one hand, but also win over other factions.

He knew very well that Chen Younian and others had always hated the privileges of the powerful and powerful, and that his sect had great influence among the people, and the same reason was that there were far more frustrated than beneficiaries.

With the purpose of anti-power and wealthy, the basic foundation will inevitably be very stable.

"Sir, please rest assured. Although the subordinates are stupid, they will not be fooled by their tricks." As soon as Wang Xijue spoke, Chen Younian understood and said that he would not be fooled by them.

Wang Xijue couldn't help but smile awkwardly. This guy was indeed rigid and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks about this?"

Chen Younian sighed: "Actually, this principle is very simple. If you have money, pay more taxes, and if you don't have money, you will pay less taxes. But the reality is contrary to the truth. Nowadays, rich people do not pay taxes, but they have no money and are paying taxes. But the problem before them is also very simple. Those who do not pay taxes have the power and power, so it is not easy to let them pay taxes!"

"That's exactly what it means!"

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "At present, the best one is Guo Dan. In Weihui Mansion, rich people help poor people pay taxes. The reason why he can do this is because Weihui Mansion can make rich people earn more money. In comparison, that little tax is nothing."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed, "I am really ashamed to say that. In this regard, I am far inferior to him."

Chen Younian smiled and said, "Now Guo Dan is my financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty. It is natural to ask him about this."

Wang Xijue was secretly happy. He wanted to cooperate with Guo Dan, but he was afraid that Chen Younian would object. He came here to find Chen Younian today, mainly hoping to determine the three-party alliance between them and theirs and Guo Dan.

Chen Younian actually knew very well, but he never formed cliques. If you form cliques, it will definitely be accompanied by favoritism and fraud. If you can't take care of the people below, why should they follow you? He has always pursued like-minded people, but he can still accept the suggestions Wang Xijue has made at the moment.

After all, Guo Dan's proposal really convinced him. This kid is indeed capable, so he doesn't mind asking Guo Dan for advice.

Moreover, they really don't have a good plan themselves.

If the reform is successful, then the interest groups must be protected, because in non-war situations, it is impossible to kill them all. Even if they surrender for a moment, they will soon turn around.

Therefore, if you want to succeed, you will still get their understanding because you have no ability to destroy them.

And the only one who did this was Guo Dan.

Wang Xijue and Chen Younian visited Guo Dan in person.

This time, Guo Dan didn't dare to pretend that he didn't know anything. After all, Wanli had already spoken and had to continue.

"Two sirs, I'm just a businessman. If I say something wrong, I'll have to give them more tolerance." Guo Dan gave them a shot.

When Wang Xijue heard this, he knew that the boy must have a solution. He couldn't help but look forward to it secretly and said with a smile: "Before we come, we knew you were a businessman, tell me, tell me."

Guo Dan smiled and said seriously: "I heard that there have been debates in the court about valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce recently."

Chen Younian immediately said: "Although they are saying it well, they are just confusing the public, you don't have to care."

Guo Dan shook her head and said, "I think what they said is nonsense."

Chen Younian's mouth twitched.

Can you continue chatting?

At least respect us!

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Sir, I didn't mean to swear, but I don't think there is anything more suitable than these four words."

Chen Younian squeezed out a smile and said, "What do you say?"

Wang Xijue, who was already used to it, smiled secretly, and you can also feel the pain I used to be.

Guo Dan said: "Those who support the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce are suggesting to increase commercial taxes. I wonder if I am wrong?"

Chen Younian nodded and said, "What's wrong with this?"

"To our businessmen, this is simply...hehe."

Guo Dan did not say it, and continued: "My Central Plains Dynasty has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. This is reasonable, because the country's main tax revenue comes from farmers, not merchants. Of course, the merchants are not valued. Therefore, I laughed at them before, because I know that farmers have contributed the most to the country. Two adults, do you think this is the reason?"

Chen Younian and Wang Xijue nodded at the same time.

You businessmen say this, can we say it is unreasonable?

Guo Dan said: "Then the problem is. Now the other party is asking for an increase in commercial tax and reduce agricultural taxes. Then the court should improve the status of merchants. Besides, it is wrong to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. On the other hand, officials who support commerce and suppress agriculture are also wrong. They demand not to increase commercial taxes, and at the same time require commerce and suppress agriculture. This is like going to a restaurant for dinner. Not only do they not give the money to the meal, but they also have to ask the boss for money!"

Chen Younian and Wang Xijue looked at each other.

These words simply subvert their perception!

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, officials actually suggested focusing on business and suppressing agriculture, which was reflected in reducing commercial taxes.

However, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce requires reducing agricultural taxes.

This concept is deeply rooted.

Guo Dan’s statement is exactly the opposite. According to his statement, if you want to emphasize business and suppress agriculture, you must increase commercial taxes.

But this seems to make more sense!

Paying more taxes means making more contributions to the country, so the country should pay attention to it.

It cannot be said that if you pay more or get less, then who is willing to pay taxes?

If you spend money to get beaten, that's perverted.

Wang Xijue said: "They don't really want to increase the commercial tax. You say this is meaningless."

"It's not meaningless."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Based on this theory, those big landlords enjoy the best privileges of the country, but pay the least tax and make the least contribution. This is unreasonable. As for common sense, whoever pays the most taxes and contributes the most, the country should pay attention to whom. This principle is understandable by a three-year-old child."

Wang Xijue and Chen Younian were a little cautious.

What are you doing?

Does businessmen have to be the right pace to be the leader?

Guo Dan spread his hands and said, "Since they want to enjoy themselves and are unwilling to pay taxes and contribute to the country, why does the country still have to take care of them in a stern manner? Is this a bit...haha?

We merchants are very sensible, and we get what we pay for. We are not unwilling to pay taxes. But what can we get when we pay taxes? If the court is willing to take care of us merchants, we merchants are certainly willing to pay more taxes. We will not be like them, want everything and are not willing to pay anything."

Chen Younian felt a little sweaty when he heard this. You were about to turn the world upside down and said, "How can this work?"

Guo Dan said: "That means that the court is willing to take care of them, no matter how selfish they are, since that is the case, what is the significance of reform? There is no need to come to me. I am a businessman. In my opinion, you can get as much as you pay. Unlike Buddha, who has his face pushed out after he was beaten on his left face."

Chen Younian suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to get in.

Those powerful people only know how to ask for but not give, and you are happy, that is, you are born cheap.

Wang Xijue said: "Even if you are right, that's the reality."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "But we businessmen are born to like competition. We are willing to pay more taxes to the court and contribute to the country. But we hope that the court can also provide more care for us merchants. In this way, we can solve the problem of increasing the emptiness of the national treasury and reduce the burden on the people. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone, and it is in line with Your Majesty's wishes."

Chen Younian shook his head and said, "It's too simple to think about it. This can't be solved in just one sentence."

“But it’s not complicated.”

Guo Tan smiled and said, "In the past, no one dared to compete with them, and there was no way, but now we businessmen are just competing for favor with them. If they want to maintain their privileges, they should contribute to the country and share their worries for His Majesty."

Wang Xijue asked, "Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"

Guo Dan said, "I have nothing to fear when I share my worries. Your Majesty wants to earn the treasury and reduce the burden on the people. I, Guo Dan, are willing to take out the money."

Wang Xijue asked again: "Then what do you want?"
