The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song also said angrily: "These representatives really don't wink. Your Majesty, you have fallen ill, and they are still in the meeting."

Jiajing was so angry that his eyes turned black.

After a while, Huang Jin sent a message: "Your Majesty, Jack Ma and Ma Chao, representatives of the three-level meeting, represent the second and third levels respectively, and are seeking an audience outside the palace."

"Too much deceit!" Jiajing was furious: "I'm afraid of them, and hid in the palace, and they still chase after me? Hmph! Let someone drive them away!"

"Your majesty, let's listen to what they say. The so-called good people have agreed to abolish the personal hierarchy system after being sent to the west. It's not bad to listen to what they say. It seems that you are so worthless, majesty, if you drive them away?"

Yan Song tapped side to side.

Jiajing was right when he heard it, but if he stumbles, he will be hated forever. Since he is on a thief ship, let's listen to it first.

But Jiajing was really afraid of these two debaters, so he asked Huang Jin to inform them that they could only hand in the memorial and not meet each other.

Jack Ma and Ma Chao were also bachelors, so they handed over the text of the [New Tax Law] to Huang Jin and left by themselves.

Jiajing took a look at it twice, and his nose was crooked with anger.

"What? The whole country pays taxes according to income, regardless of class? Abolish all tax-exempt titles, and the personal income tax rate is up to 50%?"

Jiajing exclaimed.

"The corporate tax is only 20%? These businessmen really know how to reduce their burden..." Jiajing sneered.

"Is it necessary to uniformly cancel exorbitant taxes and labor? In the future, if the state wants to recruit civilian husbands, it must be paid?"

Jiajing laughed out of anger.

0.4 You must know that in the past there were more miscellaneous taxes than taxes.

The local government, under various names, cleverly set up names, set up exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, and exploited the people.

This time, the people's representatives were all abolished!

And the country's labor is more burdensome than taxes on the common people.

Labor labor is to let you work as a laborer, work for free, move bricks for free, and bring your own dry food, without a penny...

For example, in the mausoleums, palaces, Great Wall, rivers and other projects that Jiajing was building, the imperial court was all in vain, using labor for nothing.

But generally this kind of project is extremely huge, and the labor force used is often hundreds of thousands. You don’t pay for it for a year, the land at home is left uncultivated and no one grows it, and you have to pay rent to the landlord. Do the farmers vomit blood?

. .

Chapter 2122 Jiajing is furious and wants to search the house [3]

This new tax law simply came to a one-pot end, and even the emperor's labor was exempted himself.

The emperor originally wanted to increase taxes, but it turned out to be a good thing. The common people took advantage of you to lead people away from the meeting, and completely liberated themselves, which greatly reduced the tax burden of merchants and farmers.

Abolish exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, exempt national labor, unify tax rates, regardless of status, uniformly pay taxes according to income, and cancel all tax-exempt items.

It is conceivable that these terms are beneficial to the common people, but not conducive to the royal family and noble families.

Take the landlords as an example, they collect rent once a year, and their income will of course be very high, so they have to pay 50% of their income that month.

Half of the land rent belongs to the state. Of course, the income of the state is high, but the landlords fainted in the toilet...

For another example, in the past, the local tyrants and evil gentry could effectively evade taxes through the imperial examinations, and the princes and nobles could effectively evade taxes through methods such as "donating land". At least all the descendants of the old Zhu family would not be taxed. Pay me all taxes!

Based on their income, I'm afraid it must be 50% of the tax!

The annual land tax is at least millions of silver.

The descendants of the old Zhu family vomit blood or not?

Those princes and nobles, agree or not?

Jiajing himself was stunned.

Because the new tax law clearly states...

Paying taxes to the country is treated equally, even the emperor cannot avoid it...

All the Huangzhuang and properties owned by the emperor have to pay taxes to the country at a rate of 50%...

Jiajing was furious.

Girl, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest. Is this tax law coming to my head?

Isn't this a rebellion?

Jiajing threw the new tax law on the dragon case, sneered and said nothing, a faint cold light flashed in the dragon's eyes.

As soon as Yan Song guessed, he knew that Emperor Jiajing was playing a dirty and violent idea again.

Use force to suppress the wave of civilian revolution again.

This is almost a certainty.

But Yan Song has a way, he just said leisurely: "Your Majesty, the military's payroll has come again. This is the third time this month. Yang Bo said that the military has owed wages for a month, and the morale of the soldiers in various places is fluctuating." , the soldiers are very angry, maybe there will be a mutiny...it is very dangerous!"

Pfft!

Jiajing was like a deflated ball all of a sudden, and Ge You collapsed on the dragon chair...

He smiled wryly and complained: "Yan Aiqing, if you say that you should reform the military system, why do you set such a high salary standard for soldiers? A soldier will take away 10 taels of silver a year! And the most senior soldiers can even get That's as much as 50 taels! Now I can't even support the army."
