Ying Zheng had never expected that his Ninth Brother would actually 'slander' his national policy of doing business among the people, and he was truly infuriated.
Faced with Lady Zhen and Zhen Shi, who were begging him to let go of his younger brother, Ying Zheng said in a resolute tone,""There are laws in the country, and everyone knows that Great Qin forbids the people from doing business.”
"One of the most important reasons why Great Qin has been able to achieve what it has today is because of its persistence in agriculture!”
"If the commoners do business and no one wants to work hard to grow food, Great Qin will be finished!”
"Great Qin doesn't allow businesses. It was like this in the past and will be like this in the future.”
Seeing the First Emperor's excitement, which had even reached the level of the foundation of the country, the Zhen siblings were in complete despair. It seemed that the younger brother of the Zhen family was hopeless.
Ying Zhan felt that his mother's emotions seemed to be fluctuating too much, and he immediately became angry.
Brother Zheng, you stubborn old man!
There was nothing wrong with putting agriculture as the foundation, but it did not hinder the opening up of private businesses!
Who said that everyone would go into business? Could it be that business did not require capital or ability? If you set a condition that people without a certain amount of capital were not allowed to do business, and that business required the imperial court to issue a business license, this would soon stop many people. How could everyone go into business?
Brother Zheng, this is lazy behavior!
Hearing Ying Zheng's inner voice, Ying Zheng was first annoyed at the other party for being so insensible, and then he was a little surprised by the method that the other party had proposed," Business license? Kid, you still have some political sense. This method seems to be feasible.
However, Ying Zheng was still unmoved. It was enough for the common people to farm and hand over their food. Opening up the business still needed people to manage it, and they still needed to increase the financial expenditure. They could not do things that were not cost-effective.
Moreover, the last thing he wanted to see was a second Lu Buwei. That would be a psychological trauma.
Ying Zhan continued to complain.
Big Brother Zheng's era was too limited. If he opened up the country to commerce, Great Qin's tax revenue would definitely increase. If the country had money, they would have more confidence in everything they did!
Brother Zheng, as the one emperor in history, couldn't escape the limitations of history!
Ying Zheng's face was filled with disdain as he thought,'Increase taxes? What the hell are you thinking about? How to increase taxes?
However, when he heard Yingzhan say that he was the one emperor in history, he immediately felt delighted. You have good taste!
Thinking about it again, since this kid had such foresight, he shouldn't be spouting nonsense. Could it be that he really had a way to increase taxes and make the national treasury soar?
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, coughed twice and said,""You have to understand why Great Qin forbids the people from doing business. What benefits does it bring to Great Qin? There was once someone who told me that opening up to business could make the country rich, but I said that it was to make the merchants rich, so the other party had nothing to say. "As such, if you can tell us that Great Qin's opening up to commerce will bring great benefits to the country, perhaps…We can let your brother go!”
The Zhen siblings were instantly overjoyed. Their little brother had a chance to turn things around.
But then, they scratched their heads and could not think of any benefits that opening a house and doing business would bring to the country. They could not think of anything.
Of course, Ying Zheng didn't expect the two of them to have any reason. He was only telling this to Ying Zhan.
Sure enough, as he wished, Yingzhan spoke. Just the first sentence made him go crazy.
Damn, is Brother Zheng slapping his own face? Just a minute ago, he had said that Great Qin would not allow the commoners to do business, but now, things had changed.
Oh my god, if only you could hear me! I'll tell you about the benefits of Great Qin opening up its private businesses!
After opening houses and doing business, there would be transactions, and with transactions, there would be huge amounts of money. The Imperial Court could collect taxes from these transactions, such as taking 1% of the profits. This was an incredible amount in Great Qin!
Opening up private businesses could completely revitalize the market economy and stimulate the consumption of the common people. It was the same for the rich. In that case, the country could indirectly collect taxes from everyone. Wasn't that a good thing? Unlike now, there were only officials and merchants from the imperial court. There was no tax to speak of. After all, it was his own business! On the contrary, it was easy for officials and businessmen to become corrupt and cause public anger!
As for worrying about the appearance of very rich people, weren't there also very rich people now? Moreover, there was a way to restrict merchants from being too rich. That was to levy a merchant's income tax. If one's annual income exceeded a million, they would be directly charged 50% tax. Wouldn't that be very satisfying?
No matter how many benefits there were, Brother Zheng, this stubborn old man, was still stubborn. Such a good thing would not fall into his hands!
Perhaps when I become the emperor in the future, I will be able to use these methods!
After listening to Yingzhan's thoughts, the First Emperor's heart surged!
F * ck, f * ck!
It could actually be operated like this!
Business transaction tax!
Why are you so talented!
Just how much money would Great Qin's treasury increase?
I'm so excited!
Merchant income tax?
50% tax?
You're even more ruthless than me!
In that case, Great Qin should really open up its citizens to trade!
Hehehe, didn't I steal such a good thing now?
Cough, cough, cough. It's not stealing when the father takes his son!
As expected, eavesdropping felt good for a while, but eavesdropping felt good all the time. Hahaha!
Eh?
You're very arrogant. Did I say that I'll pass the throne to you in the future?
If I don't give it to you, you can't snatch it!
On the account that you offered a good plan, I won't argue with you this time.
And you, kid, so you have such political talent. Looks like you have to make good use of it in the future, hehehe!
