Chapter 275 Improperly Being a Faint King (6)

"If taxes were cut directly for all farmers, the country's revenue would be greatly reduced, potentially emptying the treasury."

After XX briefly explained, he added a few thoughtful words: "Because Xuanyuan Kingdom is still in the agricultural era, farmers account for the majority, and the tax revenue from farmers also accounts for a considerable part, so we cannot reduce the tax revenue of farmers at will. .”

"Then what should I do?"

Gou Xue finally realized that she was taking things for granted.

"I think we can only reduce taxes on some farmers, such as those in poor harvest areas and disaster-stricken areas, and then increase taxes on other aspects or establish a new tax to balance income."

So-and-so is methodical and authentic.

"good idea."

Gou Xue was suddenly inspired.

After quickly finishing the draft, she said seriously: "I have considered it just now, and this move is really inappropriate. I decided to reduce or exempt some farmers' taxes instead. For those affected by the weather and other factors, the harvest is not good. Yes, the tax is halved, and those who are severely affected by the disaster and have no income will be exempted from tax.”

"At the same time, I also plan to raise taxes on wealthy businessmen to ensure that future taxes will not be reduced."

"May I ask your Majesty how to define what is a rich businessman?"

Tan Pingping raised her head slightly, and said cautiously.

After thinking for a moment, Gou Xue said, "Those who set up stalls outside to sell goods and do small business are ordinary peddlers, and those who own exclusive stores and have successfully operated them for more than one year are wealthy businessmen."

"Don't you need to look at income?"

Tan Pingping opened her mouth cautiously again.

"No, if the specific income is determined as a wealthy businessman, the businessman who is originally a wealthy businessman may use false accounts to evade taxes."

Gou Xue instantly thought of some high-paid actors who used yin-yang contracts to evade taxes.

They came up with this idea precisely because they knew that the tax rate of how much salary would be completely different.

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true, so how much should we improve?"

Tan Pingping showed a slightly flattering smile.

"Just increase it by [-] percent."

Gou Xue said without thinking.

“If it is only increased by [-]%, I’m afraid it won’t be able to fully make up for the decrease.”

Tan Pingping's smile stiffened slightly.

"Then let's set up a new tax. I actually have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

Gou Xue pretended to be deep.

"Your Majesty, just say it."

Tan Pingping is respectful and authentic.

"I want to set up a non-compulsory patriotic tax. Any businessman who voluntarily donates 50 taels of silver or more as a patriotic tax will be awarded the honorary title of patriotic businessman and given an honorary plaque. The plaque is valid for three years. Afterwards, you can continue to donate patriotic taxes in exchange for a new honor plaque."

"During the period when the businessman is awarded the honorary title, as long as he does not manufacture and sell counterfeit products, raise prices substantially, or commit crimes, the honorary title and plaque will not be withdrawn."

Gou Xue calmly said.

"The idea of ​​the Holy Majesty... is really unprecedented, but I think it is feasible."

Tan Pingping expressed her opinion immediately.

It doesn’t take much silver taels to make a plaque, and 50 taels is not much for a real rich businessman. If businessmen are asked to pay taxes voluntarily to obtain the honorary title bestowed by the court, many people are probably willing.

"Where are the other mistresses?"

Gou Xue glanced at the other officials, full of majesty and authenticity.

For a while, the hall was silent.

"I allow you to discuss in private first, and give me an answer when I go to court tomorrow."

"Today, do you have anything else to do?"

Gou Xue reckoned that they were afraid that inappropriate speech would anger her, so they had no choice but to skip this topic first.
