Chapter 2151： The first head-to-head confrontation between monarchs and ministers

In front of Chaolu Temple, once again the sword was drawn.

The hundreds of civil and military officials were divided into two groups. The new ministers promoted by Chen Fan personally fought against the old ministers left behind by Chen Yi. They used the new tax policy as the source, and they were noisy.

The new ministers naturally followed Chen Fan steadfastly, and all believed that the new tax policy was beneficial to the development of Da Chen and was a policy of governance and stability.

However, the veteran believes that the impact of this move is too great, and it will easily cause a backlash from the wealthy class and even businessmen. Once this group of people leave Dachen in anger, there are many countries compared to the four major Chinese states. Willing to accept them.

At that time, didn't Da Chen become a remote country without business and rich people?

Since then, what is the significance of the new tax policy is simply self-defeating.

I have to say that what these veterans said is actually reasonable, but only people with a discerning eye can know. These reasons are all forced by the veterans to hide their true inner thoughts.

In the past, the tax policy was that no matter who it was, it would be taxed at three taxes, and even for merchants and even capable people, there would be corresponding tax exemptions.

Take Jia Boqian's business as an example. In fact, he pays taxes every year, only about two taxes, sometimes less than anything.

Now Chen Fan has directly adjusted the tax rate for this group of people to ten taxes and five taxes. In the eyes of most people, this is simply a grabbing spirit stone for Chi Guoguo.

Who can take it easy?

You must know that these veterans have all been in the capital for hundreds of years, and their forces are intertwined. I don't know which big business is their property, and I don't know, behind them, they have a lot of relationship with a few wealthy businessmen.

Therefore, Chen Fan's new tax can be said to have moved the cake of most people present, which is not a good sign.

Very easy, it will cause a fierce rebound.

After all, since ancient times, cutting off people’s wealth is like killing parents.

There are all people standing on the top of power. Who cares how much tax ordinary people pay in a year?

It is ten taxes and ten taxes, they will not feel the slightest wrong, anyway, regardless of their own business.

But once they wanted to take out even a piece of spirit stone from their pockets, it was more uncomfortable than killing them.

Today, it was a premeditated counterattack organized by the veterans, and it was also a head-on confrontation between the monarch and the minister.

If Chen Fan loses, he is bound to be steadily suppressed in the future, so he allows himself to lose whatever he wants.

And more importantly, who is Chen Fan? How could he not know that such a new tax policy will definitely make the court turmoil. In fact, the best way is to wait for him to become the throne in the late spring of next year. Start the reform again.

It's just that Chen Fan can't wait any longer, because Jia Boqian came to report a long time ago, and there is not much left in the treasury, and soon he won't even be able to pay the official salary.

At the same time, the people are not living very well after years of war.

If Chen Fanren does not make reforms, he will be afraid of chaos!

Now, more than a month later, the taxation for the second half of the year will be carried out. Chen Fan must smoothly implement the new tax policy within this time.

And this requires him, the veterans, and the entire Da Chen's wealthy merchants to break their wrists for the first time.

The final outcome is still unknown.

"Jia Boqian, before you became an official in the court, you were one of the best wealthy businessmen in Beijing. Come and tell me, is my new tax policy good or bad?"

It is annoying to throw the problem to Jia Boqian, the current Chancellor of Finance, and one of Chen Fan's confidants.

It's just that no one knows this identity except Chen Fan, and even Jia Boqian's position has always been on the side of the veteran.

This is Chen Fan’s backhand. At the beginning, when he wanted to promote the position of Minister of Finance among the ministers, he had informed Jia Boqian in advance and asked him to take a large amount of spiritual stones to bribe the crowd. Veterans.

Sure enough, most of the people present accepted Jia Boqian's bribes and openly supported Jia Boqian, who was just a civilian at the time, as the Minister of Finance.

Now, all the veterans thought that Jia Boqian was with him, but they didn't know that his every move, and even every word he said, could not be hidden from Chen Fan's eyes.

When Chen Fan was on a foreign expedition, Jia Boqian was his hidden son buried in the capital.

Today, it is still!
