Chapter 248

"Four taxes and one!"

The news that Mohist fine wine paid heavy taxes immediately caused an uproar in the business circles of Chang'an city.

Four taxes one, this is an unprecedented heavy tax since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even in the history of those despotic monarchs, they have not heard of such heavy taxes.

The news that Mohists earn 300000 yuan a day has not disappeared in Chang'an city. The news that Mohists pay heavy taxes has pushed Mohist village to the forefront of the storm.

"300000 Guan, let me calculate how much tax the Mohists pay this time?"

"Seventy five thousand!"

Countless people were stunned and their hearts echoed this amazing figure.

When the Mohist family paid nearly ten thousand taxes before, the people were stunned. It was not long before the Mohist village broke out such a high tax.

"Oh, my God! Your majesty doesn't like the Mohist school very much because of such heavy taxes. How can you be so cruel?" someone didn't understand.

"If Mojia village earns so much wealth, it should pay more taxes." since ancient times, people who hate the rich have never stopped. Naturally, many people don't like it when Mojia village earns so much money.

Many officials cheered at the news and thought that their playing had played a role. His majesty began to punish the Mohist School severely.

"You don't know! It was not collected by your majesty, but handed over by the initiative of the Mexican family."

However, as the news spread, everyone was dumbfounded.

"The MOH family asked for it voluntarily? Is he stupid? Thirty taxes and one, he would only pay another 10000 yuan. Why should he pay more than 60000 yuan?" the man who heard the speech said with heartache, as if he were digging meat from him.

"Yes, and the reason why Mohist made wine was not for his Majesty's grain price protection order." some people who supported Mohism were dissatisfied.

The war between the Mohist village and the grain merchants is spreading in Chang'an city. It has long been no secret. Of course, everyone knows the origin of solving thousands of worries.

"It is said that relieving thousands of worries and depressing horses consume the most food. If brewing on a large scale, it will certainly cause a food crisis in Guanzhong. Therefore, mojiazi volunteered to be punished and bear the heavy tax of four taxes and one."

When they heard the speech, they couldn't help being silent for a while. They couldn't help but silently read a sentence of Mohism and felt a lot.

However, the high taxes are not only bad but also good. They directly hit the reputation of Mohist wine, making Xie Qianchou popular in Chang'an City and spread to the whole Tang Dynasty at a rapid speed.

In the face of such a hot situation, the ten dealers did not hesitate any longer and handed in their respective deposit and advance payment in accordance with the previous agreement.

"Hahaha, Lord Mo is really good! It wasn't long before he made such a huge fortune." Dai Zhou said with his mouth closed, and his eyes looked like a boy who scattered money.

As long as it was tax collection, Dai Zhou was the most sensitive. All dealers went out with their front feet, and his back feet had arrived.

"How dare you bother Lord Dai to come to the door again, and soon the boy will send the tax to the Ministry of the people in person." Merton said hurriedly.

Dai Zhou waved his big hand and said in a loud voice, "it's not hard, it's not hard at all."

Seventy five thousand Guan, let alone let him come to the door twice, even let him guard at the door of Mo mansion every day.

"This time, this Shangshu transferred all the elites of the Ministry of the people to complete it in the shortest time. Lord Mo was the God of wealth of 300000 a day, and it couldn't take a lot of time." Dai Zhou waved his hand and immediately rushed in a large number of accounting rooms of the Ministry of the people. He looked at the new wealth myth of Chang'an City curiously. The leader was still the last middle-aged accounting room.

"Lord Dai is joking!" Merton couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the speech. Now Chang'an City says that mojiazi earns 300000 yuan a day, which is almost the same ridicule as later generations say that someone makes hundreds of thousands a minute.

"Ha ha!" Dai Zhou said with a loud smile.

"Thank you, gentlemen." Merton arched his hands to the people's Ministry accounting rooms. A large number of civil elites, this is probably the most primitive accountant!

"Lord Mo is so polite!" the middle-aged cashier hurriedly said.

A group of accountants also quickly returned gifts. They didn't dare to neglect the God of wealth in front of them. During this time, mojiazi was the most popular person in the Ministry of people.

Most of the major dealers paid gold and silver instead of a lot of copper money, which made the dozens of cars brought by Dai Zhou useless. Of course, it also greatly reduces the work of the accounting room of the Ministry of civil affairs.

When a room full of gold and silver was presented in front of many accounting rooms, ordinary people must have bright eyes, but fortunately, the accounting room of the Ministry of civil affairs often sorted out the Treasury. When they saw much more gold and silver, they didn't move at all, and immediately began their work.

"Four taxes and one, this is the heaviest tax I know in the world, and what surprised me most is that this heavy tax was paid by Lord Mo on his own initiative. I wonder if Lord Mo can solve my doubts." Dai Zhou took a deep breath and asked his doubts.

Merton thought for a moment and said, "from the boy's point of view, the role of tax is not just to collect taxes for the country to operate. On the contrary, it can play too many roles."

"I'd like to hear it!" Dai Zhou said positively.

"Take Mohist wine as an example. This wine is indeed too food consuming, but it is also indispensable. We can impose heavy taxes and raise the price in disguise, so that the number of people who buy wine will naturally decrease. In this way, the imperial court can not only obtain more taxes, but also reduce food consumption. This is one of the reasons why the boy takes the initiative to pay heavy taxes. Even in the future, Mohist wine The leakage of formula, resulting in heavy taxes, will not cause the national food crisis, "Merton explained.

"I see."

Dai Zhou was immediately impressed, like an epiphany. At the same time, he looked at Merton with a trace of appreciation.

Merton added: "for some industries that are good for the country, such as cattle, horses, farm tools and waterwheel, we can reduce taxes, and even some things that the court continues can be exempted from taxes. In this way, we can stimulate some people to increase investment in this area, which has achieved the purpose of the court."

"Control the adverse side of the court and encourage and support industries beneficial to the court."

Dai Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

"Mohists call this macro-control," Merton summarized.

"And taxes can even the rich and the poor........"

…………………………

Dai Zhou was as happy as drinking sour plum soup in the dog days. The words of mojiazi directly opened a door to him, a door to greatly increase the rights of the Ministry of the people.

Before that, the Ministry of civil affairs only collected taxes and then used them, but it never thought that the Ministry of civil affairs could do so much.

"I'd like to report to the minister that the 75000 taxes paid by Mojia village have been verified." the middle-aged accountant reported.

Dai Zhou nodded and saw that the 75000 Guan was no longer excited before he came. He harvested something more valuable than the 75000 Guan today.
