After more than a month of reform, the Han Dynasty had completely implemented the policy of equal land and tax exemption.
Anyone who caused trouble, whether they were scholars or merchants, was arrested.
Those who should be raided, those who should be beheaded.
In any case, in this wave of iron-blooded suppression, some of the rebels were all killed.
At the same time, the Great Han Dynasty's Great Han Long Yuan had already spread out.
The new tax reform had also been implemented a month ago.
This time, no one dared to cause trouble with the tax reform. Even the businessmen who suffered the most losses did not dare to say a word.
Today was the monthly tax day.
The Great Han Dynasty did not collect taxes on an annual basis, but on a monthly basis.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to collect taxes on a monthly basis in ancient times. That would exhaust the officials of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, the Han Dynasty was different. After Liu Yu set the business tax in the system, the system would automatically calculate the tax amount.
The Ministry of Revenue…No, it was the officials of the Ministry of Finance. As long as they handed over the data given by the system to the local tax bureau and let the tax bureau collect the taxes from the merchants, it would be fine. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
However, Liu Yu did not tell the Ministry of Finance about the first tax collection.
Instead, they let the merchants of the Great Han Dynasty do their own tax returns.
Making fake accounts was not something that only existed in the modern era. It had existed since ancient times.
Therefore, when merchants went to declare their taxes, they would naturally report less.
"Li Ji, have you calculated the tax revenue of the various places?”Liu Yu asked anxiously.
He was ready to take advantage of her. He was in a hurry.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, it was illegal for merchants to conceal their income, falsify their accounts, and pay less taxes.
Ordinary officials might not be able to find out that many merchants made fake accounts.
But with Liu Yu, it was easy to find out who didn't pay taxes and who paid less taxes.
As long as the local tax department handed in the statistics and compared them with the data given by the system, it would be completely clear at a glance.
"My lord, the accounts of the other three provinces have been sent over. The Ministry of Finance is currently verifying them.
The accounts from Shanxi Province were still on the way. They should be arriving soon.”Li Ji replied.
Liu Yu nodded after hearing that. He was still looking forward to how much he could get from this wave of fleecing.
As a modern person, Liu Yu naturally knew the importance of businessmen.
However, merchants had to be controlled. Uncontrolled capital was too harmful.
The Eight Great Jin Merchants were an example.
Although Liu Yu had destroyed the eight Jin merchants after he conquered Shanxi, it did not mean that the merchants in other places of the Ming Dynasty were good.
The merchants in Jiangnan who colluded with the Donglin Party and advocated the ban on the sea were not good people either.
A day later, the Ministry of Finance finished checking the tax accounts for the month.
"My lord, this month's tax, the amount of tax that the merchants have paid is 197,000 taels.
The actual tax revenue for this month should be 336,000 taels. Most of the merchants paid less tax.”Li Ji reported.
"You've paid 140,000 less tax.
The list had already been drawn up. Arrange for people to pay the fine. Those who did not have the money to pay would be confiscated.”
Liu Yu was furious. He did not expect these merchants to be so bold as to pay so little.
" My lord, we can't chase away these merchants like this. Many of them are from Jiangnan. What if they all leave…"
"Don't worry about this. There's nothing in this world that wants to be an official or a businessman.
As for running to Jiangnan, the entire world is mine. Where can they run to?”Liu Yu said disdainfully.
Following Liu Yu's order, the merchants in the four provinces who had not paid their taxes were all dumbfounded.
Those who paid less taxes would be compensated ten times the amount they lacked. If they could not, they would be confiscated.
Those merchants who didn't pay taxes didn't waste any time and directly raided their houses.
After taking a wave of wool, Liu Yu became fat again.
Most importantly, the fine and the income from the house raid were all legal income for the system.
In other words, Liu Yu could finally use the macho man's dragon essence to spend money.
This way, even if Liu Yu spent 100 million, he could make the mint rush to print 100 million.
Anyone who understood finance knew what this meant.
Moreover, this was not the biggest advantage. The biggest advantage was that using paper money to pay for gold was equivalent to a loophole in the system.
With 100 million in revenue, Liu Yu spent money to buy 100 million in materials from the system, and then the mint printed another 100 million.
In other words, the 100 million yuan in revenue was not touched at all.
Thinking about it, Liu Yu had also bought 100 million worth of resources from the system.
100 million to 200 million, there was nothing happier than this.
Five days later, the taxes and money that had been paid and the money that had been confiscated would be reported to the Ministry of Finance.
Liu Yu didn't say anything else and directly charged 1.3 million taels of silver macho dragon dollars, which was 650 million.
It was equivalent to exchanging one tael of silver for 500 macho dragon dollars.
At this moment, the system's purchase list also changed, and the unit changed to the macho dragon yuan.
"Now that I have money, should I draw ten consecutive draws or buy something?”
Liu Yu looked at the various items in the system store and felt a little conflicted.
Although 650 million seemed like a lot, it was actually not worth spending.
Ten draws in a row meant 50 million.
I'm just asking if you're afraid.
Liu Yu thought about it and decided to activate a special building first. He was not in a hurry to draw ten consecutive draws.
Liu Yu opened the attribute list of Beijing City and began to study which special building to activate first.
" Special buildings to be activated: Confucian Temple, Martial Temple, Dragon Temple, City God Temple, Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Altar, Bell and Drum Tower.”
After thinking for a long time, Liu Yu decided to activate one of the four altars.
After all, Liu Yu could guess the general purpose of the other special buildings. Only the special purpose of the four altars and the Bell and Drum Tower was something he could not figure out.
"Let's activate the Temple of Heaven first and see its attributes.”
Liu Yu opened the Temple of Heaven icon on the System Map.
"Special building: Temple of Heaven (to be activated)
[Activation fee: 500 million macho dragon dollars.]”
Seeing the activation fee, Liu Yu suddenly felt his liver ache.
If he had turned 500 million into 1 million taels of silver, he might not have felt so distressed.
However, the number of 500 million was simply terrifying.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Yu clicked on the confirm button.
The next second, the icon of the Temple of Heaven changed.
[Special building: Temple of Heaven]
Attributes…
