The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

In this way, the wealth of the landlord class cannot be shaken.

But this point of the new tax law can be described as dredging from the bottom of the pot....

Isn't your family rich and powerful?Isn't it ten thousand hectares of fertile land?Okay, okay, the government will settle the accounts for you, you have so much land, and the value is so high, why don't you spend a few million a year to pay the land tax?

These land values ​​are all deposited on the land, not real money.Now the imperial court asks landlords and princes to pay real money. How can this not hit the landlord class?

To be honest, compared to paying 50% personal income tax, this 3% annual land tax is really killing the landlord class.

3% a year, which means that within 30 years, the land under his name must be bought again from the emperor.

Who can afford so much land?

The royal courts, nobles, landlords and bureaucrats all over the world complained.

But the bourgeoisie all over the world are celebrating and cheering.

Because land was monopolized by the landlord class in the past, merchants would worry about buying land if they wanted to build factories, because no one would sell it!

Even if they find the landlord's house, the landlord will often open his mouth and ask a fundamentally unreasonable price, which discourages the merchants themselves.

This seriously hindered the economic development of Ming Dynasty.

But now the land has suddenly changed from a sweet pastry in the past to a hot potato, and whoever holds it has to pay 2.7 land taxes.Merchants run factories, so of course they are not afraid of paying taxes, and they don’t do it anyway if they lose money, but what about the landlords?

This time, a chronic problem that various feudal dynasties could not solve in the past thousands of years - land annexation, was completely solved by Yan Song invisibly.

Because of the prevalence of land annexation, even if the emperors have ordered severe suppression, it is difficult to achieve results. In the final analysis, it is still beneficial.

Landlords occupy the land, but do not pay taxes, there is no cost, only benefits, why not do it?

But now... who wants to own so much land, the tax collectors go up and smile, let me know about the land tax?

The factories, ticket offices, and business names of bourgeois businessmen also need to pay corporate income tax, and the tax rate is uniformly 17%.

. .

Chapter 2137 This is the real core of old Yan Ge's routine [5]

The fourth article is that the emperor himself has to pay taxes...

The emperor is the big dog with the most arrows!

To say that the world's largest taxpayer, the emperor is the first!

Who is the biggest taxpayer?

Personal income tax, corporate income tax, land tax...the emperor can't avoid any of them, they all have to pay taxes...

Because he is not only the largest landlord in the world (there are hundreds of Huangzhuang under the emperor’s name), but also relies on Dongchang and Jinyiwei to open many royal shops (Dongchang has occupied many prime locations for the emperor and opened silk and other shops) , so almost all tax items are not included, and the emperor must be scraped off!

This fully embodies the principle of tax law that people in the world must pay taxes when they are alive, and treat everyone equally.

Finally, there is one very crucial point.

It is in the "New Tax Law Edict", the last paragraph of the new tax law clearly stipulates: "Private property is sacred and inviolable!"

This one is the most concerned content of the bourgeoisie!

It can be called the golden rule of the bourgeoisie.

13 Because the Ming Dynasty in the past was "under the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shores of the land, could it be the subjects of the king"!

To put it bluntly, everything belongs to the emperor!

There is no guarantee for private property. The emperor has taken a fancy to your yard and said he wants to leave.You have no temper at all.

In that case, what motivation does the bourgeoisie have to struggle?

The better the struggle, the fatter the pig, the worse it will be slaughtered.

For a specific example, please take part in the battle of Emperor Hongwu who slaughtered a big dog and No. 1 Shen Wansan on the national rich list.

Therefore, the most important article of the new tax law is actually the last sentence.

"Private property is sacrosanct."

The subtext is...

In the future, the property we are fighting for, not to mention those bureaucrats, even the emperor, don’t want to take a penny without my consent!

This article has become the most important point of this new tax law, and it has also become a model for bourgeois revolutions in various countries in the world.

500 years later, the original text of the new tax law is still displayed in the National Museum of the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, becoming the most influential legal text in the world.In the future, France’s [Commercial Code], Japan’s [General Principles of Commercial Law], the United States’ [Declaration of Freedom], and Great Britain’s [Imperial Tax Law] all referred to (actually copied) this document, which was actually written by Yan Song. The [Daming New Tax Law].

In short, once this new tax law is promulgated and implemented, the world will be shocked.

The businessmen were ecstatic and rushed to tell each other.

……

In a restaurant in the capital, dozens of business representatives were discussing heatedly, each of them beaming with joy.

"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, in this third-level meeting, the two major proposals of our merchants have been adopted by the emperor!"

"Damn! What did the emperor adopt? What kind of virtue does the emperor have, don't you have a B number in your heart? All the credit goes to Mr. Yan Ge!"

"Ah? Isn't Mr. Yan Ge hostile to us?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid to tell you that if there is no old man Yan Ge, let alone our victory this time, even our lives will be hard to survive. Do you think the emperor is a toothless tiger? Are you willing to sit down and negotiate with you?"
