At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

These bastards, relying on their own background, can they not pay taxes?

Why do we pay so much but you don't?

The two of them didn't dare to oppose Guo Peng, so they could only vent their anger on those wealthy businessmen.

In addition to the status discrimination all the time, so when Wang Can and Zaoyi launched an attack on commercial taxation, Cao Cao also followed in their footsteps, using his power to create momentum and fuel the flames.

Cao Cao also wanted to kill these bastards who picked up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold their mothers.

It's just that Guo Peng didn't say anything, and Cao Cao was helpless.

Originally, he even complained a little to Guo Peng, but now that Guo Peng suddenly attacked, Cao Cao immediately felt refreshed physically and mentally.

Emotional Guo Peng is also in preparation!

Hahahahaha!

comfortable!

When Cao Cao heard the news, he felt extremely happy, and immediately took orders to the cabinet to start arranging the matter, thinking that no matter what, he would deal with these bastards severely.

Severely let them bleed and cut off a piece of meat, so that I can feel psychologically balanced.

Chapter 903. 910 Wang Can who became restless

Wang Can and Zaoyi were also very pleasantly surprised by Cao Cao's efforts to promote the business and taxation.

Zaozhi immediately went to collect the details of the financial expenditures required by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Wang Can immediately began to vigorously promote the details of the increase in business taxes within the Ministry of Finance.

Of course Wang Can was the most excited.

To be honest, Guo Peng didn't ask him to do what he tried to promote the commercial tax reform a year ago, but what he wanted to do.

He took the initiative to ask Guo Peng whether he could do this beforehand, and Guo Peng gave him an ambiguous response.

Wang Can understood what Guo Peng meant, so he tried it.

The result shows that the opposition is very strong, and some people are even ready to attack him, ruthlessly participate in him, and want to bring him down.

At that time, there were frequent wars, and Guo Peng had no energy, so he didn't give any response to the matter, and dealt with it coldly, so the matter was left alone.

Wang Can thought that Guo Peng would not do this.

As a result, a year later, as soon as this side was unified, Guo Peng over there started to do it very quickly.

Apparently, Guo Peng had wanted to attack the big businessmen a long time ago, but he just didn't have the energy at that time.

Wang Can was very excited, jumping up and down to encourage the staff to work at high speed and act in accordance with Guo Peng's instructions.

Not only did he have to do what Guo Peng asked for, but he also added extra oil and vinegar, tossing a lot of details, just thinking about doing it in one go, making more tax increase clauses, and tearing off a piece of it from those wealthy businessmen. The meat comes.

Not only to eat their flesh, but also to drink their blood, he must be given a hemiplegia!

Otherwise, it is not enough to vent the anger in my heart!

Last year, Wang Can was very uncomfortable being bullied by a group of officials, and he couldn't get the emperor's help, so he lost face, so he couldn't hold his head up in front of his subordinates for a long time.

This time, he came for revenge.

He considers himself a member of the group of former officials of the Guo family, and is deeply appreciated by Guo Peng. As long as Guo Peng asks him to do something, he must do it, not only do it, but also do it more simply and thoroughly.

If Guo Peng wants to increase taxes, he will increase taxes and pay taxes!

Wang Can became restless.

Anyway, he is strict in family management, requiring the whole family not to do business, to farm, study and inherit the family honestly, and to live on the land rewarded by Guo Peng and the generous welfare salary.

Of course, Wang Can was not the only one who became agitated, and many other people also became agitated, but the reasons and goals of their agitation were different from Wang Can's.

Wang Can was sharpening his sword to become a wealthy businessman, while this group of people gathered together in desperation and began to think of ways to prevent the passage of the tax increase policy.

Last year, Wang Can and others took the lead in raising commercial taxes, which left this group of people with lingering fears.

At that time, Guo Peng did not express his position and did not take it seriously, so the matter was left alone and there was no follow-up development.

But this time, Guo Peng personally issued an order, bypassing the part of discussing with the ministers, and directly promulgated this matter as a decree, which caught everyone by surprise and made them unable to adapt for a while.

This is a very serious matter, and Guo Peng's tone is also quite serious.

"I was enthroned by Zen, cleared up the universe, and unified the country. I should stabilize the world and rest with the people. However, in the 20 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the former Han Dynasty, the warlords have separated each other, and the wars have continued. Life is tight and not a long-term solution, so the cabinet and the Ministry of Finance are ordered to formulate regulations to levy business taxes to fund the country, and there must be no mistakes."

The imperial decree has been issued, and the king's heart has been decided, what should we do?

A considerable part of this group of people is still thinking about how to spend the rest of their lives easily and happily, how to enjoy themselves, and how to live happily, but they never expected that the situation will take a turn for the worse.

Isn't it obvious that the levy of commercial taxes is to squeeze their wool?

When the emperor established the Yantie official camp, it was precisely because the emperor did not increase the business tax and facilitated their business, so they did not stop them and acquiesced to the fact that the Yantie official camp.

But I didn't expect the emperor to make an inch of it. After passing the Yantie official camp over there, there will be a merchant tax on this side.

Isn't it enough for you to squeeze so many villagers?

Now that Yantie has been run by the government, we have ceded this part of the benefits to you, and you have made a lot of money, not to mention the national treasury, you don’t know how much money you have in your own treasury?

Are you still not satisfied?

You still want to mess with us?

If we give in this time, will you attack our manor directly next time?

No, no, absolutely not!

A group of people gathered together worriedly, discussing this matter in groups of three or four.

The composition of this group of people is not all the same, but one thing is clear.

Whether it is a scholar family or a powerful family, as long as it is an official, there is no family head who does business in person.

None of the officials would run the commercial business themselves.

To put it bluntly, money is a slave to power, and money cannot dominate power. It has always been in the past, and it is still in the present. China has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. Suppressing businessmen is an unchanging rule.

Power is the most important thing, so fighting for power is the first priority of imperial officials, they disdain to make money.

The tradition of light business since ancient times is in front of you. No matter how much money you earn, you will be suppressed by power. However, no one who has a future in official career will destroy his future to manage business.

But as the saying goes, this is absolutely impossible without money.

If the money is used well, it will make great progress on the road to power and get twice the result with half the effort.

Really smart people use money to gain power, and fake smart people use money to make money.

Of course, some people have no way to gain power at all, so they can only settle for the next best thing and make money.

Therefore, in order to enjoy yourself in the officialdom and travel far, you must have money.

Do it up and down, and give some gifts during the New Year and holidays, which is meaningful and beneficial to the official career.

To have power is to have money.

Although not necessarily rich.

Some celebrities who care about feathers are so poor that they often have "no money left at home" after death. They even ask friends to contribute money to buy the coffin boards for them, and then let their sons help the coffin back to their hometown in misery.

But after a closer look, he himself is poor, but the important relatives in his family are different.

The society at that time was a clan society, and an official was definitely supported by a family. Of course he and his family could be poor, but could his clan be poor?

If you don't understand this, you really think that those hermits are picking chrysanthemums to see Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence like Tao Yuanming.

At that time, these hermits with superior backgrounds could really bear the suffering of Chinese farmers?

Hermitage is hermitage, but wine and meat are indispensable.

Where does the wine and meat come from?

Fall from the sky?

Innocent!

It is a traditional skill of others to stand up and down again.

As far as Guo Peng knows, these talents under his command will not make money by themselves, and they will not even allow their immediate family members to make money by themselves.

The direct descendants are busy studying and traveling around the world, and then marry to become famous, engage in nepotism, and wait to inherit Lao Tzu's position and continue to dominate the world.

If such a thing broke out in someone's family, it would be a huge scandal, it would kill the society, and it would be cast aside by everyone.

Pooh!shame!Actually running a business!

Otherwise, after so many years, the Mi Clan's political power is still not ranked high.

There are many Xuzhou officials who look down on the Mi family and do not join the Mi family. People like Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, as well as Lu Su and Zhang Zhao, would rather work under Guo Peng for seniority than take the shortcut of the Mi family. .

If you want to check the family background of these people, don't check their own, expand the scope, check their wives' families, or brothers' families, close friends' families, students' disciples' families, and even domestic slaves.

It can be said that there are countless people who use a name to go out to do business, and those who bleach their identities before going to business.

Guo grew up in such an environment since he was a child, how could he not understand the twists and turns inside?

Chapter 904. 910 [-] Is His Majesty also going to do this kind of thing to compete with the people?

Mr. Guo didn't believe that the salary he gave them was really enough for them to spend.

Nor would it be naive to think that a high salary can really support honesty.

It is the essence of human beings to push forward with an inch, and it is normal to be insatiable.

Although the salary he gave is indeed not low, so now there are indeed officials who live on their salary.

However, only a few of these people have really good character or low material needs, and most of the rest have relatively little power, and they have not had time or are unable to develop offline to manage the industry and earn money for themselves. of.

Then they can only rely on their salaries, and they don't have the resources to do business or something.

According to Guo Peng's own statistics, among the current officials of the Wei Empire, the people who rely on business to transfuse themselves will definitely not be less than half, and definitely more than half.

There are quite a few things in front of him that he can see generously, but according to the iceberg principle, there are definitely more things that he can't see.

This levy of business tax is against more than half of the imperial officials.

The more recruits, the greater the blow to this group of officials, the more blood they suck, and the stronger their resistance.

Is there such a thing in the world?

In the past, everyone lay down on the empire to suck blood, but now it is fine.

The times have changed, tentacles have grown on the empire, and the roundabout attack is inserted behind everyone's buttocks to suck blood.

I suck myself?

Am I sucking blood or is the empire sucking blood?

The officials were a little confused.

After being stunned, they heard that this policy was mainly promoted by Wang Can.

And now, that bastard Wang Can is jumping up and down to encourage the officials of the Ministry of Finance to design a rather vicious tax policy specifically for them, to suck blood from them.

Immediately, they were furious, and they wished they could go to the Ministry of Finance and eat Wang Can alive.

So annoying.

This bastard is specifically against us!

If you can't make money yourself, you won't let us earn it?

They want to do it right away.

But looking at the direction of Miyagi, and thinking of the fierce emperor sitting in Miyagi, the emperor who had just ruled the world, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

That is the emperor who dominates the world, the emperor who holds great power, it is his will, can everyone really object?

Can it really be fought?

The things he supports and the things he decides, so far, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be done.
