"Commercial taxes and customs duties~"
"Tariffs are the best thing to do. You only need to set up municipal shipping departments at open ports such as Tianjin, Nanjing, Songhu, and Guangzhou to collect tariffs."
"Well, not only in places like the Ming Dynasty, but also in places like Ryukyu Castle, Ginzan Port in Japan, Hyogo-no-tsu, and Crescent City in Nanyang, these places also have to set up shipping departments to collect customs duties."
“In the future, as many ports as there will be, there will be as many municipal shipping departments, and tariffs will be a big part of it.”
Liu Jin thought carefully.
? ? Taxing is not an easy task, especially in Ming Dynasty, which offends too many people.
From princes and nobles to ordinary merchants and hawkers, they are all the targets of taxation. In the past, the emperor was deceived into doing frivolous corvee and low taxes, but now he allows himself to be the evil person, and he will definitely be scolded by countless people.
After all, since ancient times, no one has been willing to take the initiative to pay taxes.
“Commercial taxation is the most difficult issue and the top priority.”
“The first thing to do is to formulate various types of taxes, including factory tax, workshop tax, commercial tax, real estate tax, shop tax, special business tax”
"The most difficult thing is how to collect taxes. It is definitely unrealistic to expect businessmen to pay taxes themselves. A special tax structure must be established to collect taxes."
Soon, Liu Jin became sad again.
Thinking about the future generations, there are many kinds of tax evasion and tax evasion, and the taxes in the future generations will indeed be very heavy.
But it was different in the Ming Dynasty. The commercial tax was 1 in 30 taxes. This tax ratio was extremely low.
But even with such a low tax, businessmen in the Ming Dynasty will still find ways to evade taxes as much as possible.
“The collection of commercial taxes must be carried out gradually in large cities.”
"However, it is not easy to collect taxes from businessmen, landowners, gentry and big families."
“Let’s try it first. If it doesn’t work, we will have to learn from the bald eagle of later generations and set up a special tax police force.”
Soon, Liu Jin had a rough plan in mind.
Taking out a pen and paper, Liu Jin began to organize it quickly, preparing to write a detailed plan and submit it to Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet.
A few days later, the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Mr. Ji, this is the tax reform plan drafted by Xiaguan. Please take a look at it."
Liu Jin handed the tax reform plan he drafted to Zhong Zhong.
“Well, again, give him face. After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although Emperor Hongzhi said that he could report beyond the level, Liu Jin thought it would be better to discuss it with Zhong Zhong first.
"How fast?"
佀Zhong looked at Liu Jin, Liu Jin was really vigorous and resolute in his work.
After getting along with each other during this period, he felt that Liu Jin was quite good. He respected his old comrade very much and was not arrogant or arrogant, so his tone was much better.
"I wrote it casually, and I would like to ask for your guidance, Zhong Zhong."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
"Hmm~"
Zhong Zhong nodded slightly, picked up the plan and looked at it carefully.
Liu Jin’s restructuring plan is very huge, and it mainly involves two places. One is to establish municipal shipping departments at major ports to collect customs duties. Needless to say, this.
Originally, the Municipal Shipping Division existed before, but it was later abolished after the sea ban. Now it has been re-established, and there is no problem.
It’s just that Liu Jin’s establishment and conception of the Municipal Shipping Department were based on the customs of later generations, which was hugely different from the traditional Municipal Shipping Department.
“Tariffs are not simply levied based on the size of the ship as before, but are levied based on the value of the goods.
This aspect is not a big problem, Ji Zhong just nodded after reading it.
But soon, when he saw the commercial tax levied, Zhong Zhong couldn't help but frown.
Liu Jin has carried out very detailed planning and settings in this area. There are more than a dozen types of taxes alone, various taxes, and the basis and proportion of each tax are completely different.
For example, factory tax is levied based on the output value of the factory. The ratio is 5% tax per 100%, which is very low, similar to the original 30% tax per 1%.
There is also a workshop tax. The scale of a workshop is smaller than that of a factory. There is also a distinction between the two. If the number of workers is less than 50, it is a workshop, and if there are more than 50 workers, it is a factory.
 If so, then you, Liu Jin, will be pushed out as the scapegoat. Are there many such examples since ancient times?
Shang Yang’s reforms made Qin stronger, but Shang Yang’s car ended up being broken.
Wang Anshi’s reform made the Song Dynasty’s treasury full. In the end, Wang Anshi did not end well.
Now you, Liu Jin, are very determined to do this, and it will definitely not end well in the future.
Since ancient times, these emperors have done too much, killing donkeys and crossing rivers.
For those of us who are ministers, although the matters assigned by the emperor are important, we should also consider them for our own future.
"Zhong Zhong, if there is no assessment and reward mechanism, then how can the officials and officials below have the motivation to collect taxes?"
“When the time comes, it will be the same as the scene again, so it’s better not to change and just stick to the current way.”
“It’s just that taxation is one of the foundations for the operation of the court and the country. Without taxation, there is no way for the court and the country to operate, and there is no way to concentrate on doing major things.”
"When foreign enemies invade, we will be bullied again. If there is a famine, we will not have enough food and money to provide disaster relief."
Liu Jin thought for a while and replied, taxes still have to be collected, not to mention that this is a task assigned to him by Emperor Hongzhi. Although Liu Jin knew that he would offend many people, he still had to do it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
