Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

With such a large sum of money, Li Shimin and his courtiers will not remain indifferent.

At the same time, you want the horse to run, but at the same time prevent the horse from eating grass. This kind of behavior is definitely unacceptable.

Therefore, if you want the money from commercial taxation, you have to improve the status of the merchant.

Not to mention anything else, the restriction on the imperial examination must be lifted.

Li Ke was not worried about this at all.

After all, the imperial court may not be tempted to see the 10 Guan business tax.

But what about the 1 business tax?

Datang's annual fiscal revenue is only 8 guan, and 1 guan is equivalent to one-eighth of the fiscal revenue!

Can the court still ignore it?

When the commercial tax reaches 1 Guan?

That directly exceeded Datang's fiscal revenue for one year!

By then, will the imperial court still be able to sit still?

"Since everyone agrees to pay the business tax, I will explain the details."

"Everyone needs to go to the Commerce Bureau to apply for a business license, and then hire a professional accountant to record every account."

"Also, when doing business, invoices must be issued according to the invoice book given to you by the Commerce Bureau, and the seals of both parties are required."

"Business tax and income tax are paid on the 6th to 10th of each month to pay the business tax of the previous month. You must bring your account book and invoice."

"The Commerce Bureau has an accountant trained by the king himself. You have tampered with the account books and invoices, and you can't hide it."

"Anyone who evades taxes will permanently disqualify their children from the imperial examinations, and they will never be reinstated!"

"So I hope you can always be alert to yourself, and don't bury this hard-won opportunity by yourself!"

Li Ke quickly and simply explained the process of collecting commercial taxes to everyone.

It's about books and invoicing.

How many invoices are issued, what is the amount on the invoice, and whether it matches the value of the goods, etc.

For example, the value of this batch of goods is 1 guan, but some businessmen invoiced 1 guan with others in order to evade taxes.

This will result in the amount on the invoice completely inconsistent with the value of the goods.

There is also the amount of bank transfers, which can also determine the approximate turnover of a store.

In short, Li Ke specially trained a group of accounting and taxation experts through the knowledge of modern taxation.

Although it is definitely not comparable to modern talents, it is enough to deal with these things.

Of course, there must be penalties for tax evasion.

And for businessmen, what is the most severe punishment?

It is the qualifications for their children to participate in the imperial examination that they are most pursuing!

Therefore, Li Ke's punishment for tax evasion is to directly disqualify his children from the imperial examination once discovered!

And it is permanently canceled and never restored!

This punishment is simply the cruelest punishment for a businessman!

It is also the most deterrent punishment!

Sure enough, when everyone heard the punishment for tax evasion, everyone felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of their feet!

This piercing chill hit their foreheads, shocking their minds.

This punishment is too cruel!

Immediate disqualification of the imperial examination!

And it's permanently canceled, never reinstated!

This is tantamount to evading tax, and the chance they have finally obtained to change their children's destiny will be completely ruined!

Moreover, they were buried by their own hands!

Thinking of this, they immediately alerted themselves in their hearts, and they must not have the idea of ​​tax evasion!

Otherwise, not only children will never forgive them.

Even they can't forgive themselves!

Seeing that everyone looked very scared, Li Ke immediately nodded in satisfaction.

This is one of the advantages of this era of Datang.

In modern times, even if someone evades taxes, at most they will be fined or jailed.

But their children and family members can still live freely outside, and any rights will not be affected.

You can even eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and enjoy life.

Therefore, in modern times, the cost and price of tax evasion are actually very low.

But in Datang, the status of merchants was very low, and they did not have many basic rights.

If you want to accuse someone of tax evasion, it's fine to just behead him!

However, Li Ke is elegant and easy-going, always talking but not doing.

From the time travel to the present, he only has one life in his hands.

It was also on the waterway that day, when Wu Xing Qiwang sent a dead man to assassinate him, he personally killed a dead man who was dying and wanted to fight back.

He is still more inclined to the thinking of modern people.

Therefore, the punishment he gave was disqualification from the imperial examination.

Although it is not the way of beheading, but for them, it is actually almost the same.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will never evade taxes!"

More than 300 people together assured Li Ke.

"You are all members of the chamber of commerce, and I naturally hope that everyone will do what they say."

Li Ke nodded with a smile, the current guarantee is meaningless.

There is always no shortage of greedy people in this world. For such people, there is nothing to say, just punish them according to the rules.

"After you go back, you can also introduce the specific rules of commercial tax to the merchants you know."

Li Ke explained to the more than 300 people.

These more than 300 people represent big businessmen in Yangzhou and Suzhou, but there are also many small businessmen.

Business tax No matter whether you are a big businessman or a small businessman, you all have to pay tax.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, the more than 300 people left in a mighty manner.

After these 300 people left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, they were not in a hurry to go home, but first publicized the news.

After all, everyone is a businessman, and they were all sympathetic people before.

Now, there is a chance to change destiny.

Of course, I want to inform everyone.

So, everyone rushed to tell each other, introducing the business tax and the qualifications of their children's imperial examinations.

The businessmen who heard the news reacted the same as them when they first heard that they were going to pay the business tax, and the proportion was still so high.

I resisted in my heart, but I didn't dare to violate Li Ke's meaning.

But when they heard that paying the business tax can qualify their children to take the imperial examination.

It's all boiling!

PS: Second more! .

Chapter 200 Hold the imperial examination by yourself?The first batch of business tax came up!

This news is like a depth bomb to the businessmen!

A complete explosion exploded in the entire business circle, setting off a huge wave!

The low status and the inability of their children to take the imperial examinations have been a pain in their hearts for many years.

Now this matter has turned around?

As long as you pay the business tax, you can get a higher status and make your children eligible to take the imperial examination?

"Master Zhang, is what you said true?"

Some businessmen couldn't help but asked the shopkeeper Zhang in Suzhou.

Because this news was such a shock to them!

"Of course, we just came out of the Metropolitan Government's Mansion. His Royal Highness King Wu told us this personally."

"If you don't believe me, you can wait for tomorrow's newspaper, it should be published."

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded with a smile on his face, giving everyone a reassurance.

Everyone heard the words, and their hearts were filled with anticipation.

If all this is true, then there is hope in the future.

So what if you pay some commercial tax?

More and more businessmen know the news, and everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's newspaper.

Honestly, this is the day they look forward to the most newspapers ever.

And this night is destined to make many businessmen in Yangzhou and Suzhou sleepless all night.

Early the next morning, they were waiting at home early.

Most of them have subscribed to the newspaper, and someone will deliver the newspaper to their door very early in the morning.

In the past, they thought that the newspapers would be delivered quickly, but today, they were extremely anxious.

For the first time, I felt that the speed of delivering newspapers was too slow!

"Today's Datang Daily has been delivered!"

It didn't take long, under the strong expectation in their hearts, the newspaper was finally delivered.

They took the newspaper and read it immediately.

"His Royal Highness King Wu ordered that a large number of government schools will be built in Yangzhou and Suzhou for the enrollment of students!"

"A large number of students enrolling will cause huge financial pressure. His Highness King Wu has decided to collect business taxes in Yangzhou and Suzhou for educational investment!"

"Farmers have agricultural tax, people have corvee, and merchants naturally have commercial tax. Commercial tax is a tax that every businessman must obey!"

"After paying the tax, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will also guarantee the basic rights of merchants. They can ride in carriages, wear silk and satin, and their children can participate in the imperial examination!"

"The Metropolitan Government will strictly cancel all the rights of tax evaders, and they will never be restored!"

Seeing the content in the newspaper, all the businessmen wept with excitement!

It turned out to be true!

Those shopkeepers didn't lie to them, what they said was true.

Their status can really be promoted, and their children can really take part in the imperial examination.

As long as the commercial tax is paid, all this can be realized.

Thinking of this, none of the businessmen are willing to pay business tax.

I used to be resistant to commercial taxation, but now I am willing to agree.

Moreover, especially after seeing the punishment for tax evasion, everyone feels scalp numbness.

Remove all power and never restore it!
