- Zhou Shixiong just persuaded casually. Since Zheng Lisheng didn't take it seriously, Zhou Shixiong shouldn't take it too seriously. "Palace Master Zheng is confident, so Hongchang won't talk too much. I wish Palace Master Zheng that he will succeed and fulfill his ambitions."
After Zheng Lisheng was promoted, Zhou Shixiong began to make plans for the development of Lang Son House. Lang Son Prefecture has many mountains and little land, and there is little prospect for agricultural development. Zhou Shixiong planned to position Lang Son Prefecture as a commercial transit station between Vietnam and North Korea. Since the main focus is to develop commerce, road construction naturally ranks first. Fortunately, Pingxiang Prefecture already has a very complete engineering camp. It only needs to fill in a large number of labor forces, and it is not too difficult to expand official roads.
Zhou Shixiong handed Qian Bijun the responsibility for this matter, and left the cleaning and strengthening of the river embankments to Mao Weisheng. Although the two engineering battalion managers did not know why Ji Hongchang was able to command Pingxiangzhou, they had no objections to the job. It was not in line with their character to be white-collar workers who did not work with pay.
The purpose of widening the road is to develop business. Zhou Shixiong has only one investment strategy, which is tax exemption. Any merchant does not need to pay taxes in Lang Son Province. Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng had no reaction to this article, because the Ming Dynasty was almost tax-free for business, and the only taxes that could be legally collected were tariffs.
The situation in Jiaozhi is completely different. In Jiaozhi, whether it was the Northern Vietnam Dynasty or the Li Dynasty, commercial tax was the main tax. The exemption of commercial tax was simply unbelievable to the heads of the various palaces. Zhou Shixiong's approach immediately aroused doubts from others. Nguyen Phu A Giang also wrote to Zhou Shixiong, hoping that he could explain the reasons for tax exemption.
Zhou Shixiong personally went to Le Thi Villa to explain to Nguyen Phuc A Giang, "Auntie, the food produced in Lang Son Province is only enough for my own use. Even if I increase investment in farming, I can't change the fact that there are more mountains and less land. That's why I want to develop business." increase income."
"Hongchang, tax exemption has obviously reduced a large amount of income, which seems to be inconsistent with your intention." Of course Ruan Phu Ajiang couldn't understand the unbelievable thing that tax exemption can still make a fortune, and thought that Zhou Shixiong should be beaten to prevent him from getting carried away.
"It is true that the tax exemption will reduce my business tax income, but the tax exemption can attract more people to do business in Lang Son Province. I do not charge taxes for these businessmen to run their businesses, but they still have to pay the head tax. In addition, I also want to add a tax It¡¯s called personal income tax. Taxes are levied according to each person¡¯s income, so as to ensure that Lang Son Province¡¯s income will not be reduced.¡± The introduction of personal income tax is a supplementary means to reduce or reduce commercial taxes. If the tax is not charged even a copper penny, Lang Son Province will Wouldn't it be like becoming Lei Feng?
"What is personal income tax?" In ancient times, tax collection was basically based on families, and only the head tax was collected on an individual basis. It's just that the head tax is a fixed tax amount and will not change due to changes in occupation. Zhou Shixiong introduced the details of personal income tax in detail, letting Nguyen Phu A Giang understand that this kind of tax is only levied on the rich, and the poor need not worry.
Nguyen Phu A Giang was a little worried about this type of tax levied on the rich, "Hong Chang, if you waive the commercial tax and increase the personal income tax, will businessmen feel that you are cheating them? After all, this brand-new thing is too targeted." It¡¯s so strong that it¡¯s hard not to be suspicious.¡±
"Auntie, there is no need to worry. I will publicize this new tax type so that everyone who comes to Lang Son to do business will know how much tax they need to pay while enjoying the commercial tax exemption. There is no problem of deception. "Of course Zhou Shixiong knows the difficulty of levying new taxes, but he knows that as long as he does a good job of publicity, he can still get businessmen to accept the new thing of personal income tax on the premise of exempting business taxes.
Zhou Shixiong's idea was good, but it ignored the current situation of poor transportation and poor communication in ancient times. He posted notices on the exemption of business tax and the collection of personal income tax in Lang Son Province. A month later, only the businessmen in Lang Son Province responded. The merchants passing by didn't take his notice seriously.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Shixiong celebrated the New Year at Lishi Villa. The eldest son Zhou Hu is over two years old, and he cannot get close to Zhou Shixiong, a strange uncle. You Min urged her several times, but she couldn't get her son to say the word father. The eldest daughter's nickname is Yu'er, and she can clearly call her father Zhou Shixiong when she is just over one year old. Li Jie has a constant smile on her face.
Zhou Shixiong comes to Lishi Villa whenever he has free time. His daughter often sees him, so of course she will not be afraid of strangers. This is in line with the principle of first come first served. You Min also knew the reason, but she had no choice. It is unrealistic for Zhou Shixiong to frequently travel to Pingxiangzhou. The best way is to bring his son to Lishi Villa more often so that they can have more contact with each other.
"Hongchang, your idea of ??tax reform is very good, but it's a pity that you acted too hastily and made a mistake." Guan Chongguang also took the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to come to Li's Villa to meet Zhou Shixiong. Since completing the negotiation with Ruan Phuc, Guan Chongguang returned to Pingxiangzhou became his governor, and he methodically emptied Pingxiangzhou and transported everything that could be transported to Lang Son City. Lang Son Mansion was already the new base area.
"Cheng Peng, I've thought about it over and over again, why is this happening?" Zhou Shixiong scratched his head in annoyance. The exemption of commercial taxes and tariffs will obviously reduce the number of businessmen.? Burden, and personal income tax levies income after profits, which is countless times better than collecting taxes regardless of whether businessmen live or die. Why is there no response!
"Hongchang, you have overlooked a very important issue. Lang Son Prefecture was just a very remote state capital in the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam, and it did not have any special products. It is a bit too ambitious to attract businessmen to do business here." Li Fusheng shook his head. He came over with a fan and answered Zhou Shixiong's questions for Guan Chongguang.
Guan Chongguang had no intention of letting Zhou Shixiong go. This young head of the family rarely made a mistake. As the first adviser, of course he had to ridicule him as much as he wanted. "Hongchang knows that making the best of the situation. Just because Lang Son is not suitable for farming does not necessarily mean it is suitable for business. Although there is the only way to the Ming Dynasty, this trade road has been divided up by wealthy merchants in various provinces, and there is no way to attract other businessmen here. , unless you can find a new way to make money, it¡¯s better not to have any wild ideas.¡±
Zhou Shixiong was familiar with the phrase "new economic growth point", but he just didn't know how to operate it. "It seems that I can only wait until the port of Gaibao Island is built and a maritime trade route is truly opened before those businessmen can obediently send me money." It's over." Zhou Shixiong is not a person who cannot afford to lose. As long as he doesn't lose his life, it doesn't matter how much he bets.
"That's wrong. It's not the time for Lang Son Prefecture to bring swords and guns to Kuma and release Nanshan." Guan Zhongguang waved to Ma San in the distance, and waited for Ma San to come over before continuing, "Manager Ma, I order you to Is there any result in searching for people among the four major clans in Lang Son Prefecture?"
"My lord, I've sent people to find out the news. I just can't send too many people to keep it secret. I haven't gotten the news yet. Please forgive me, your lord." After failing to complete Guan Chongguang's order, Ma San quickly handed over his hand and apologized.
"It's okay, I have a letter here for Hongchang to appreciate and see how the writing is." Guan Chongguang took out a letter from his sleeve, and Zhou Shixiong opened it and was sweating. This letter was written by Huang Chengen, the former chieftain of Pingxiangzhou. The content was that Huang Chengen reported to Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, that Pingxiangzhou magistrate Chongguang was accused of deploying troops without permission, invading Jiaozhi, massacring civilians, etc. There were more than 30 charges in total.
"This Huang Chengen doesn't want to live!" Zhou Shixiong was really anxious, because the letter recorded in detail the exact time when the Pingxiangzhou Guards entered Lang Son Prefecture many times. Wang Zunde only had to send someone to check to know what the letter said. True or false.
"Hongchang, please calm down your anger, there is still something fishy about this matter." Guan Chongguang raised his hand to stop Zhou Shixiong from getting angry, and explained in detail the special features of this letter. It turns out that this letter was found by the Zhennan customs officer from a merchant when he was inspecting merchants coming in and out. After Guan Chongguang got the letter, he ordered Zhou Hou to interrogate the merchant in person, but the merchant refused to confess who ordered it until his death. Guan Chongguang had no choice but to have someone draw a portrait of Hong Shang and ask Ma San to investigate in Lang Son House to see if anyone knew him.
"Does Cheng Peng suspect that this letter was written by the four major clans?" Zhou Shixiong understood that Guan Chongguang suspected the four major clans because the letter was seized at Zhennanguan. Logically speaking, Huang Chengen could not have passed through Zhennanguan when he handed in the letter. Someone was impersonating him. The name does the job almost certainly.
"The official suspects the four major clans for two reasons. First, the time recorded in the letter when the Pingxiangzhou Guards sent troops to Lang Son Prefecture, Beijiu Prefecture and Tuyen Quang Prefecture is too accurate. Unless they are personal participants, it is impossible for others to know. It¡¯s so clear. Secondly, the format of the letter is wrong. Although Huang Chengen is a barbarian chieftain, he still knows how to write an excerpt to the court, and it is impossible to write it in the style of a family letter."
Li Fusheng deliberately argued with Guan Chongguang and asked with a smile, "Even so, we can only say that this letter was not written by Huang Chengen. How can we be sure that it is related to the four major clans?"
Guan Chongguang did not answer Li Fusheng's question and continued to Zhou Shixiong, "The purpose of writing this kind of thing is of course to deal with me. The purpose of dealing with me should be to cut off the covenant between Pingxiang Prefecture and Lang Son Prefecture. The winner is Designer, for Lang Son Prefecture, losing this official is equivalent to losing the support of Pingxiang Province, who can benefit from it?"
Zhou Shixiong felt that his brain was full of mush for a while, and he could not classify and process the information provided by Guan Chongguang, so he could only beg for mercy. "Cheng Peng, it's better to stop guessing and reveal the answer."
"The people in the Northern Dynasty who were most afraid of Lang Son Prefecture were only the Nguyen Phuc family, and the people who hated Lang Son Prefecture the most were the head of Bei Guang Prefecture and Nguyen Phuc Shou's family. Lang Son Prefecture lost Pingxiang Province as an ally, and Nguyen Phuc's family benefited the most from this plan. The most likely possibility is that it comes from the Nguyen Phuc family. But it is impossible for the Ruan Phuc family to know so many things about Pingxiangzhou, especially the details of sending troops, so the Nguyen Phuc family can only find helpers in Lang Son House. Hong Chang, do you think the answer is about to come out? !¡±
