I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

When the Ministry of Economic Development handed the report to Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing felt a little panicked because it was beyond his capabilities.

He couldn't tell whether the planned economy or the market economy was better.

Where the system and later experience could not help, he immediately became a mortal.

At this time, Wu Changqing could only believe the analysis of the ministers below.

Since they say the current model is best, then continue to use the current model.

In the face of such significant reforms, there is no harm in being conservative. Moreover, Dahua's economy is running very well now, so there is no need to change it rashly.

In the face of uncertainty, Wu Changqing chose to be conservative.

But in the face of certain certain things, he is quite decisive.

Such as tax reform.

Next, he will add the collection of personal income tax to the tax policy.

In the past, Dahua had no personal income tax, only one corporate income tax.

In future generations, you will not find a country that does not impose personal income tax.

This shows the rationality and necessity of this tax policy.

Collecting personal income tax according to stepped tax rates can smooth the gap between rich and poor to a certain extent.

On the other hand, collecting personal income tax can also greatly increase national fiscal revenue.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, and it will make the rich in the country explode.

In the tax rate set by Wu Changqing, personal income tax will be levied on those with a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan.

A monthly salary of 30 to 100 yuan is levied at 5%, a monthly salary of 100 to 500 yuan is levied at 10%, and a monthly salary of 500 to 1,000 is levied at 15%.

From one thousand yuan to five thousand yuan, from five thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan, from ten thousand yuan to one hundred thousand yuan, and above one hundred thousand yuan, the tax rates are 20%, 25%, 30%, and 40% respectively.

This tax rate is actually lower than in later generations.

However, for Dahua’s high-income groups, it is like a bolt from the blue.

They didn't need to pay taxes before, but now they not only have to pay 15% to 40% of corporate income first, but also need to collect another 40% of their final personal income. It's really killing them. .

In the past, a car owner who made a profit of 100,000 yuan a month only needed 20,000 yuan in taxes. But now, I have to pay more than 40,000 yuan.

When Wu Changqing summoned the ministers and proposed this plan, many ministers were surprised.

After all, they also belong to a high-income group. Once this new tax policy is implemented, they will also have to pay additional taxes.

This is undoubtedly a very bad thing.

At the same time, they are also worried that this tax policy will dissatisfy the wealthy class in Dahua. After all, most people are not that high in consciousness.

It is okay to ask them to contribute to reducing the gap between the rich and the poor in China, but it is absolutely impossible to use their money to contribute.

These high-income groups are very influential. Even in the previous dynasty, they were the core class of a country and could even challenge the emperor.

But now, their status in Dahua has been greatly reduced.

The influence of ordinary people, the middle class, the scientific research class, and the military is very large, while the influence of the wealthy class has dropped a lot.

In the past, if the rich were unhappy, the world would be in chaos.

Now that they are unhappy, they probably can only hold it in.

This is not the first time Wu Changqing has attacked a businessman. If he really had that kind of blood, he would have resisted many years ago.

When Wu Changqing formulated the monetary policy, these people did not break out in resistance. Now, after so many years of comfort, they have no courage to resist.

"The stakes are high."

Liu Dahua said.

After Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying, Hong Chengchou and other veterans retired, former Nanjing Mayor Liu Dahua, former Inspector General Zhao Chongming and others became the decision-makers.

The second level is the new generation of officials, such as Ouyang Shiqi, Li Yao, Xue Shaorong, Hong Jin and so on.

Liu Dahua has always been a representative of the Jiangnan business class and the leader of the wealthy class.

However, this guy is timid and cautious. Every time Wu Changqing wants to touch the interests of the wealthy class, he pretends not to see it and does not resist.

He managed to survive all the way, and even managed to reach the decision-making level without being discovered by Wu Changqing.

At this time, Liu Dahua was very resistant to this personal income tax policy.

But, so what?

He knew very well that once a policy was quietly implemented by Wu Changqing alone, the implementation rate would be as high as 100%, and no one could stop it.

Therefore, Liu Dahua could only say symbolically, "This matter is of great importance" to prove that he had persuaded the emperor and gave an explanation to the wealthy class.

"This policy can greatly increase the court's income, and it will not affect the lives of the people. It is really wonderful."

After Li Yao read the document, he did not hesitate to support it.

After hearing his words, some officials could only curse bastards in their hearts.

Everyone's pursuit is different. Some people pursue wealth, while others pursue other people's recognition. Li Yao obviously pursues his personal career and ideals.

He doesn't care that his wealth will be less, after all, he is not very rich to begin with.

He doesn't care if the wealthy class hates him, he doesn't belong to that circle anyway

, and I have offended enough rich people in the past, and there are too many lice to not itch.

What Li Yao cares about is nothing more than his official position, power, and his ambition to "make Dahua better."

Personal income tax can significantly increase the court's fiscal revenue and give the court more money to do things. This is a great good policy.

He will definitely support this policy unswervingly.

"I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many powerful people."

Someone reminded.

"They are dissatisfied that they can be poor so that they don't have to pay taxes. The imperial court has not raided homes for a long time, and some people may have forgotten the traditional arts of our dynasty."

Li Yao snorted coldly.

These words made the officials who represented the interests of the wealthy class suddenly change their expressions.

The traditional craft of the Dahua court was to confiscate homes. From the uprising to the first few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, confiscation of homes never stopped.

It was not until later, when the political situation stabilized and those restless elements subsided, that the number of domestic house searches suddenly decreased and moved to overseas occupied areas.

From Fusang to Annan, from Siam to India, this kind of thing has never stopped.

The Dahua court was the most proficient in searching homes, and even had a set of standard procedures.

If Dahua were to set off the banner of confiscating properties in the Central Plains now, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the wealthy class.

This is why those officials changed their colors. They were really afraid that Wu Changqing would listen to that lunatic Li Yao and start confiscating homes again.
