The Pinnacle of Martial Arts Cultivation Chapter 2151: The first head-on confrontation between monarchs and ministers
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Budo Peak!
In front of the Chao Lu Temple, once again the sword was drawn.
The civil and military officials were divided into two groups. The new ministers promoted by Chen Fan personally competed with the old ministers left by Chen Yi. They used the new tax policy as the source, and they were noisy.
The new ministers naturally followed Chen Fan firmly. They all believed that the new tax policy was beneficial to the development of Da Chen and was a policy of governance and stability.
But 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 are angry, they will leave Dachen. Compared with the four great Chinese states, There are many countries willing to accept them.
At that time, didn't Da Chen become a poor country without business and rich people?
Since this, 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 a discerning person can know these reasons, but they are all forced by the veterans to hide their true thoughts.
In the past, the tax policy was that no matter who it was, all taxes were 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, which is 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 several wealthy businessmen.
So Chen Fan’s new tax has moved the cake of most people present, which is not a good sign.
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 wrong at all, and they don't care about their business anyway.
But once you want to take out even a piece of spirit stone from their pockets, it's 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 will surely be steadily suppressed in the future, so he allows himself to lose regardless of the situation.
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. Reform will begin at the end of next spring.
It's just that Chen Fan can't wait any longer, because Jia Boqian came to report long 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 for this, it is necessary for him, the veterans, and the entire Dachen'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 imperial court, you were one of the richest businessmen in the capital. Come and tell me, is my new tax policy good or bad?"
It was 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 one of Chen Fan’s backhands. At the beginning, when he wanted to promote the position of a minister of finance among the ministers, he had informed Jia Boqian in advance and asked him to go with a large amount of spiritual stones. Bribe a group of old officials.
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 think that Jia Boqian is with him, but they don't know that his every move, and even every word he said, can't be hidden from Chen Fan's eyes.
When Chen Fan was in the foreign war, Jia Boqian was his hidden son buried in the capital.
Today, it still is!
