Chapter 1393 Xiaowu Head of State will go fishing
"Can the Senate agree to encircle the government?" Wu Haogu smiled and looked at his son, who was a fox.
"The Senate... of course, it is to protect the legal property of citizens and taxpayers." Wu Yijiu said the legal provisions word by word.
The law of the Great Zhou Republic was passed down from Kaifeng's lawsuit, not the kind of benevolence and righteous education of Confucianism, but the lawsuit is to use words to exploit loopholes.
Wu Yijiu himself is a top student at the Umdae Academy Law School and can be regarded as a legal expert. Of course, he knows how to play...
To put it bluntly, the Senate of the Great Zhou Republic is a Senate representing the interests of a few military citizens and the bourgeoisie, not a universal parliament representing the whole people.
What does the bourgeoisie value the most? Is it not that private property is inviolable?
Enclosure?
How could that kind of bill be passed? It’s impossible. This is a blatant robbery!
However, all the bills on the protection of private property in the Dazhou Senate have two prerequisites: one is "citizens and taxpayers" and the other is "legal property".
The former is the object of protection, and must be citizens and taxpayers who pay taxes according to law. The citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty are mainly two major parts: one is military citizens serving; the other is industrial and commercial citizens who pay taxes. The government, army, police, etc. of the Great Zhou Republic rely on their support and rely on their taxes to support them, so of course they have to protect their interests.
The latter is that the nature of the property must be legal, and illegal property is of course not included in the protection.
An important basis for legal property is tax payment!
Any legal property with a greater value must be related to taxation, especially private real estate.
Private land has land tax in the countryside, and private property in the city also needs to be paid property tax.
Wuyi paused for a long time and said, "The households in the newly affiliated land basically have no citizenship. So whether their property can be protected is the key to paying taxes in accordance with the law and whether it is legal.
It’s summer now, and it’s time to pay the autumn tax in a few months!”
The private land in Dazhou is taxed once a year, with only autumn taxes and no summer money. The tax rate is not low, but there is no additional taxation or consumption. The taxpayer does not need to transport the grain or other physical items used for taxation to outside the county for long distances. Instead, one county and one warehouse, all taxable materials are settled in the county.
If you need to transfer, the government will bear the cost.
While paying the autumn tax, civilians also need to pay the DOJ. The DOJ is the count tax, and citizens can be exempted from paying it. Civilians must pay any DOJ!
The Dingkou money can also be compensated in physical goods, and the amount required is also not small. However, there is no additional payment, additional tax, or envy.
Besides autumn taxes and Dingkou money, ordinary small farmers basically have no other burdens.
There are many kinds of harsh and miscellaneous taxes such as exemption, green seedling money, charity warehouse tax, agricultural instrument tax, cattle and leather horn tax, and international tax, which are not available in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, the Great Zhou Republic did not divide the number of households and did not apply progressive taxes, but collected land taxes and ditto money in one-size-fits-all manner.
Because there are so many tricks in determining households and other things...
While the households are unsure, the fields and other fields have to be divided into one part. However, they are not too thick, there are three types: one is black soil fields, the second is paddy fields, and the third is loess fields.
The land tax of the three fields is different, and each type of field will no longer be subdivided, but will be taxed uniformly. However, when the crop rotation is implemented, the land tax can be paid at a 60% discount.
The reason for taxation in this way is to facilitate tax collection on the one hand; on the other hand, it is to encourage farmers to improve soil and build water conservancy - the level of land can be improved!
If the tax on land is divided according to the grade, efforts to improve soil quality will not be rewarded.
If you plant grass and livestock on part of fallow land, there is no need to pay extra taxes. However, during the sale of livestock products, corresponding commercial taxes will arise (the sale of agricultural products will also generate commercial taxes).
In addition, no matter what the farmland is planted, the tax amount is the same. There is no such thing as paying more tax on planting cash crops and less tax on planting grain.
Another point is that the Great Zhou Republic and the Great Song Dynasty are completely different, that is, there is no system of tax exemption and tax reduction due to disasters!
In other words, no matter how big the disaster is, the owner of the private land is obliged to pay taxes!
If tax arrears will be subject to a fine. If the tax arrears and fines reach a certain amount, the land will be confiscated.
And tax evasion in hidden land... Once discovered, the land will be confiscated immediately.
It can be said that the Civil Code of the Great Zhou Republic has little humanity and is even a bit cold!
Among them, there is only the rule of law, no benevolent politics!
Small peasants are not the softest piece of meat in the hearts of the elders of the Great Zhou Republic...
Of course, there are reasons why the Senate of the Great Zhou Republic is so "unkind". That is, they regard farming as a business at all!
Natural disasters are risks that land operators need to bear at their own risk!
They are at their own risk when there is a disaster. If the weather is particularly good and the harvest is particularly large, the profits are their own. The government will never charge an extra bucket of wheat.
Similarly, the industry and commerce in Dazhou did not say that tax exemption due to disasters! They all have to bear the risk at their own risk!
If farmers do not have the ability to take risks, they should withdraw from operations rather than survive on small plots of land.
The Great Zhou Republic had colonies and industry and commerce, which could completely absorb wealthy labor.
By the way, in the Song Dynasty, when the benevolent government was implemented, tax exemption and exemption were all for landlords. Land rent and usury were inevitable, and the court could not control it... Basically, there would be no landlords who exempted the tenants from rent and usury.
Therefore, benevolent government is not as good as poor and lower-middle peasants, but only gives the landlord an additional income.
The military citizens of the Great Zhou Republic do not pay taxes at all, and the industrial and commercial citizens do not have the habit of raising land for large-scale land. Therefore, the Senate, which represents the interests of both, will not enact laws to protect the interests of the landlord class.
"So you want to fish?" Wu Haogu glanced at his son, "Killing without teaching is called abuse, not being cautious is called violence, and being slow to lead is called thief! Sanlang, how can you call traitors in fishing?
"How can it be considered a traitor?" Wu Yijiu smiled and said, "And we register first and then collect taxes. It's not that we don't teach, don't quit, and be slow, but that we are upright!
They do not register themselves, do not pay taxes, and want to conceal their land, evade taxes, and deserve to be confiscated. Even if Confucius reborn, he will not spare these unworthy disciples."
Well, Wu Haogu really can't tell his son.
Wu Yijiu is a "lawyer", how can he be so rude?
Wu Haogu smiled and shook his head, "Sanlang, have you ever estimated? How many acres of land can you get in this way?"
Wu Yijiu smiled, "Just registering land can get half of it... It's not just a random registration. You need to have land deeds and tax certificates from previous years, and you also need to check the household registration files of the county government."
Wu Haogu nodded: "That is necessary, and it cannot be said that anyone belongs to whom."
"After registering, you have to change the contract," Wu Yijiu said, "There is a fee to change the contract, and one mu of land will collect a dou of wheat. After changing the contract, there will be a ten-year autumn tax for the Republic of China, which is also a dou of one mu!
Moreover, they do not register, exchange contracts, pay taxes, and do not ask or pursue them. After the autumn tax is completed, they will clear the land and settle the accounts with them!"
It is a bit unkind that the leader of the country is deliberately plotting against the common people and trying to seize their land.
"Are you not afraid of officials and people forcing them to rebel?" Wu Haogu asked his son.
"Don't be afraid!" Wu Yijiu shook his head, "The Republican government will implement officers in new affiliated prefectures and counties outside Hedong! Each county will have at least one battalion of troops.
They will carry out the registration of land, change of land deeds, collect autumn taxes, and clear land. If someone rebels, they will kill them on the spot! After the matter is completed, the soldiers who have made meritorious soldiers in the camp will be granted land in the county where they are town.
If you have surplus land, even if it is an official land, it will be rented out first and then sold gradually. You can also use it as collateral to issue land bonds. Use the proceeds from the land bonds to manage the Yellow River, Huai River, Hebei and Henan canal transportation."
This kid is so treacherous!
Wu Haogu sighed in his heart: Why did he teach such a son, a great scholar?
However, the times are not good, people's hearts are not as good as ever, and if they are not treacherous, they will not be able to be the head of state! If Wu Sanlang is not treacherous, where can he get hundreds of millions of dollars to manage the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and the canal transportation? Even the land rewards of hundreds of thousands of meritorious soldiers cannot be paid, and wouldn't he be overthrown immediately?
"It's okay!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Sanlang, this matter must be important, it will be troublesome if you vent your soup. Who else knows now?"
"My son has discussed with Zhang Zhifeng."
"Zhang Zhifeng is fine," Wu Haogudao, "Don't tell others anymore...it's just execution! At worst, someone rebels. We have hundreds of thousands of troops, so we are not afraid at all!"
"We are not afraid of rebellion," Wu Yijiu smiled, "but we can no longer fight the bad wars between us and the south and the west.
Now, to settle the country, it is best to stop the matter of fighting foreign countries. Sir, do you have a way?"
After Wu Haogu's support in the "enclosure" incident, Wu Yijiu mentioned the peace again.
The war has been fought to this point, and it is almost done.
The Yellow River is flooding like this, so we must not ignore it!
Moreover, in the Yellow River canal transport section, the grain from Liaodong will not be transported to the Central Plains. There is no food to eat, so how can I get a fry?
Since we are not fighting, of course we have to consider the matter of truce in Annei.
The land of the landlord class needs to be confiscated, and the Yellow River and Huai River must be managed!
Xu and Haizhou must be restored as soon as possible to make them the second core of capitalism in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, don’t fight at sea anymore, you can’t collect taxes if you continue!
Wu Haogu thought for a while: "Are we still besieging Cizhou?"
"It's not Cizhou, it's Handan, Fuyang has been broken." Wu Yijiu smiled, "The news I just got."
"Han Xiaozhou was caught?"
"Catched!"
Wu Haogu nodded, "Please invite him to Tianjin! In addition, please invite Gao Lian to Liangzhou and let the King of Xiliang come forward to mediate. There should be no problem with the Western Song Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
