The short videos I watched are from ancient times, and the ancients broke the defense

【On April 12, 1861, a cannon fired at Fort Sumter brought the Civil War to the American people.】

【With the start of the Civil War, the northern federal government immediately fell into a financial crisis】

【The huge expenditures of the war and the sudden reduction of tariffs brought the federal government to the brink of bankruptcy.】

【In order to recruit troops, Lincoln held a meeting in July of that year. At the meeting, he determined a policy: Domestic tax collection should be restarted immediately, and the intensity should be large.】

【A month later, the new tax bill was officially released, formally finalizing the principles of domestic tax collection during wartime.】

【That is, the federal government begins to levy property taxes and income taxes. If you own real estate, you will have to pay taxes. People with an annual income of more than $800 will also have to pay taxes. 】

Finally started collecting taxes!

It is obviously a country that has nothing to do with itself.

It is obviously a country thousands of years from now.

But at this moment.

When I saw that the United States was going to start collecting taxes.

Do not know why.

Everyone has an idea - you finally did this!

A very strange psychology.

It’s as if a die-hard sweet tofu brain fan saw Wang Xiaoer from next door eating cilantro and ear root for a long time.

After the second bowl of tofu brain was served.

I poured two tablespoons of sugar into it! call~~~

Feel comfortable all over!

This heretic is finally the same as us! now.

This was probably the mood of the ancient people.

Um......There are two bowls of tofu puffs in front of me.

One bowl is sweet.

Another bowl and guess what?

Hey! It's also sweet

"Now that taxes have begun to be collected, it’s time for the IRS to come into play, right?"

The same question pops up in everyone's mind.

【The tax law exists, but its implementation is not smooth.】

【Since the start of the Civil War, the tax system left behind by Washington has long been in disarray. Even if people want to pay taxes, they don’t know who to give it to.】

【A year later, seeing his bank card running out of gas, Lincoln became angry and said,"943""】

【He introduced the Revenue Act of 1862, first reinstating the excise tax】

【From glass balls for children to coffin boards for the elderly, all consumer goods must pay tax】

【The more important action is that Lincoln decided that the United States must establish a professional tax agency to collect taxes.】

【As for this complexity, there is some meticulousness, and the meticulousness is mixed with some troubles, and the troubles also bring some headaches.】

【Lincoln specifically found someone he thought would be a good fit to lead the effort】

【This was Boswell who was then responsible for administering the war widows pension. 】

Ah this?

War widow's pension?

Is there anyone else who specializes in managing this?

There are people in America who manage war widows......It was really a knife stabbed in the butt, giving the ancients a hard look.

Datang plane

"It seems that although the United States is a grassroots team, it does have good qualities in many aspects."

His Majesty Tian Khan Li Er saw this paragraph and sighed as above.

It makes sense.

Look at it from Li Er's perspective.

Compare the United States at that time with the Tang Dynasty.

It is indeed not unfair to call it a grass-roots team.

From the following Comparing several aspects, it is easy to distinguish between superior and inferior.

Datang: We have three provinces and six departments, with a clear organizational structure and clear powers.

Ami: I......My court has no power, local affairs are messed up, and each state has its own laws.

Datang: My household department is the money bag of the imperial court and is in charge of the world’s finances.

Ami: Me......Finance B can’t even collect a batch of taxes!

Datang: Our Ministry of War is in charge of military registration, weapons, military orders, and the selection of military attaches.

Ami: Me......Our commander-in-chief marches in person!

Datang: Me.....

Amei knelt down: Atang, stop talking, you are my brother!

Of course.

Ami also has Ami's strengths.

For example, this department is responsible for pensions for soldiers' widows.

This greatly reflects Ami's humanistic care - as long as Cao Cao is not allowed to deal with this group of widows, it can still impress the court.

I can only say that America, on the other side of the ocean, has its own national conditions here.

As a general on horseback.

Li Er's life has come through.

Under the Dragon Chair.

Already full of bones.

There are opponents in this.

There are also generals and soldiers under his command.

Previously.

He had never imagined that such a department existed.

It is used to specifically manage the lives of the wives and children of the fallen soldiers.

This gave him a great feeling

"As the saying goes, since ancient times, generals have brought peace to the world, and don’t let generals see peace."

"It has been decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty"

"For decades, there were hundreds of thousands of people who fought bloody battles in the north and south, and buried their bodies in horse leather."

"In the past, whenever I thought about this place, I always felt that having a death benefit in battle was enough to comfort my colleagues, and I felt at ease."

"However, when we see what the United States has done today, we realize that it is just self-deception."

There was a bit of choking in his voice.

Li Er looked around at everyone.

The edict said

"I want to follow this American policy and set up a special management center for fallen soldiers. What do you think?"

The ministers naturally knew everything they could do.

They immediately worshiped from the mountains and the sea.

All the ministers called your Majesty Rendeler.

The situation here will not be described in detail.

Return to the sky.

【Why choose Boutwell?】

【To put it simply, this man is very capable】

【During the war, the domestic situation in the United States was in chaos, so many women wanted to take advantage of the war to fish in the troubled waters to receive a pension.】

【And Boutwell can accurately distinguish which of the many widows are real soldier widows every time, and his ability is extremely incredible!】

【Therefore, Lincoln believed that if you can manage your widows well, you can certainly manage your taxes well, so he ordered Boutwell to set up a tax office. 】

Three Kingdoms plane.

Cao Cao was shocked

"Can you tell at a glance who is the real soldier's widow among the many widows?"

"Is there such a great talent in the world?"

Brother Cao was extremely envious.

This whole wife is under the radar!"

【In July 1862, Boutwell developed thousands of employees within just six months of taking office.】

【However, just after the department was established, Boutwell ran away to run for parliament.】

【Lincoln had to find someone else to take over.】

【The man who took over was named Joseph Lewis.】

【Compared to the talented Boutwell, Lewis seems mediocre.】

【As Lincoln's personal biographer, Lewis was born into a family of teachers. He was a prosecutor with excellent fighting skills and great literary ability.】

【As a ruthless man with both civil and military skills and proficiency in law, Lewis left a deep personal mark on the tax office. 】

God is so ordinary!

Although it is just a simple two strokes outline.

But it directly made Liu Bei jealous!

First of all, this person was born into a family of teachers and was also Lincoln's personal biographer.

It shows that he understands literature.

Secondly, this person's fighting skills are full.

It shows that he knows martial arts.

Finally, he is a prosecutor.

He actually knows the law very well!

Such a talented person who is both civilized and military and also understands the law.

In the Three Kingdoms, people in the world would call it Wolong 2.0.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, they are all masters of Confucianism, military strategism, and Legalism, who combine the three schools of learning! good!

As expected of our old Liu family! but......

Such a great talent.

You only let him take care of the money?

What kind of extravagant pomp is this, with noodles and rice for breakfast!

"This guy has great talent, and if the tax office is put in his hands, he will definitely do great things."

Liu Bei is very optimistic about the prospects of the Taxation Department.

Indeed.

After Lewis took office, the newly born Taxation Department easily left his personal mark.

In addition to being able to be civilized, martial and knowledgeable about the law, it was also inevitable that some Lewis's personal style.

What personal style?

To put it simply - Director Liu is a bit dark!

Not only his hands are dark, but his heart is also dark!

【Lewis believes that tax collection should not be one-size-fits-all, but should be adjusted to a progressive system based on different incomes.】

【Annual income below $600 is exempt】

【If the amount is less than 10,000, levy 3%】

【If it exceeds US$10,000, levy 5%】

【Moreover, in order to ensure that income tax can be collected in a timely manner, Lewis geniusly proposed that tax collection should start from the source and start to implement the enterprise withholding system. The income tax will be collected directly from the enterprise and will not be paid to the taxpayer at all.】

【Lewis's most important invention was that he believed that the tax bureau's limited manpower made it impossible for tax collectors to complete the tax inspection work of each family.】

【So he created a system. How much tax should be paid according to the tax declaration system? You fill in the form and submit it yourself, and we will sit back and wait for the first trial in the department.】

——There should be a barrage here, just sit back and wait for death

【What? You said you didn't fill it in? Or is it okay to fill it in blindly?】

【I have to say here that although Director Liu is a prosecutor, in terms of personal style, he is actually more like a gangster.】

【Regarding tax evasion, Director Liu’s principle is simple: let heroes investigate heroes, and let heroes investigate heroes.】

【After taking office, Lewis reorganized the Department of Revenue and hired a large number of private tax auditors in various states.】

【None of this group of people has a formal establishment. They are all temporary workers and do not even receive wages. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【So what do tax collectors earn if they don’t pay wages?】

【Director Liu’s answer is very simple, of course it is to earn commission (split with two hands.jpg)】

【As long as you can collect taxes, pay enough to the federal government, and keep enough in the agency, the rest is yours.......Brothers, it’s time to be ruthless! 】

genius!

What a genius idea!

The Ming Dynasty plane.

Lao Zhu was immediately overjoyed!

This is a genius idea that only a sleeping dragon and a phoenix could come up with!

(Director Liu turned back: Huh? Have you heard my story?)

(Lao Zhu: No, but your eyes are full of stories!)

Seeing the tax system designed by Lewis.

Lao Zhu felt like he had found a treasure.

So much for that.

We have to mention the tax system of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

In simple terms: Two Taxes Law[]

The imperial court collected taxes in summer and autumn.

Each household pays taxes according to the number of acres of land.

The government levies five liters, three combined and five spoons of grain per mu - it's strange why there are both fractions and whole grains?

Two liters will be reduced per mu for private land.

Together they are 0.0535 stones and 0.0335 stones respectively......

And for different fields.

There are different proportions.

For example, if the land is re-rented, the price is eight liters, five combined and five spoons per mu.

For reed fields, five ounces, three scoops and four ounces per acre.

Grass collapse, three scoops per acre, etc.......

Say it without bragging.

An emperor who was born with mud legs.

Lao Zhu really wanted to feed the people of the world.

This tax ratio looks at various feudal dynasties.

It can't be considered high.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The world is finally settled.

Adhering to the idea of ​​​​living with the people.

There is indeed no problem in collecting taxes this way.

But keep it.

Lao Zhu was unhappy.

Because there are too many places where the court has to spend money!

Count on your fingers: the daily expenses of the royal court cost a sum of money.

The salaries of officials in the Gyeonggi region cost a sum of money.

The military pay for the troops stationed in important frontier areas is another sum.

The royal family and vassal king still had to pay a sum of money for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In addition, there are local disaster relief and education, management expenses of departments at all levels, and daily consumption of soldiers stationed in the garrison.......

We had no money before becoming emperor.

After becoming the emperor, our life will be very tight.......Rounding things off, we are the emperor for nothing! so.

Lao Zhu, whose belt was tightened, was unhappy.

And he was unhappy.

Naturally, the big landowners looked displeased. at the moment.

Early Dynasty.

Land annexation is not that serious yet.

There are big landowners.

But they are all meritorious officials.

They were all sealed by Lao Zhu himself.

It was very generous when it was sealed off before.

But how many years has passed?

Find a reason to kill him?

Of course it is impossible.

Lao Zhu thought about it day and night.

I always want to find a way to seriously mess with taxes.

Let these people with more land spit out more. then......

"I think this progressive tax collection system is very good!"

"Those who earn less will not be taxed, those who earn more will earn more, and those who earn nothing will not be taxed."

"Biaoer, what do you think?"

Lao Zhu laughed loudly.

By the way, he didn't forget to ask the executive deputy emperor for his opinion.

Zhu Biao also thought it was good.

He also knew what Lao Zhu's troubles were.

But......

"But Father, if this happens......How can those noble nobles of the country be willing?"

Lao Zhu asked this.

He must have thought so.

Zhu Biao was a little worried about causing a backlash.

But who is Lao Zhu? Is he afraid of this?

He squinted his eyes.

Lao Zhu smiled so hard that it made people laugh.

"It’s okay if they don’t want to, we really just want to see if they don’t want to!"

In front of Zhu Biao.

Lao Zhu has nothing to hide.

"These hob meat, each one of them pretends to be cleaner than anyone else on weekdays, wearing patched clothes and hanging around in front of us all day long!"

"We have given you titles and titles, and we have also given you land. Do we not know if there is any surplus food at home?"

"At present, the imperial court is encountering difficulties. They don't want to share the country's worries, but they are pretending to be poor, so that they themselves believe it!"

"Not only must we implement this progressive system, but we must also do it clearly! Do it generously!"

"That’s fine if you cooperate with the court, if you don’t cooperate 0.8......Hum!"

Hunt twice.

Lao Zhu's murderous intent is so obvious!

Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel his heart sinking.

Since Queen Ma died of illness, this father's murderous intent......It seems to be getting stronger and stronger

"Of course, it’s not like we don’t give them a chance."

Lao Zhu raised his hand and pointed at the sky again.

"This guy surnamed Liu has a good idea, tax declaration"

"Let's also give them a chance and give them a list of how much land each family has and how much tax they should pay. Write it down clearly and submit it to us."

"If he is not making up lies, we will reuse him"

"But whoever dares to make up lies to deceive us?......"

Lao Zhu broke off his sentence again.

But I didn’t say the rest.

Zhu Biao could also imagine it. then.

I felt even more worried for the nobles.

This doesn't mean giving a chance.

It’s obviously digging a hole!

It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Many nobles have annexed many fields from the common people.

These are extra.

Can they repay it?

Do they dare to retaliate?

This is obviously under the guise of declaration.

Find a reason to force this progressive system to go down!

"Ming's day......It's going to be red again."

Zhu Biao seemed to have seen the crowds of people outside the Meridian Gate again.

"Director Liu is a talented person!"

"So damn dark! Let the people fill in the forms and pay taxes by themselves. Who will be stupid enough to fill it out honestly in the first place? Isn't this just trying to find an opportunity to deceive the unlucky guy?"

"And the tax inspectors have no salary and rely entirely on commission. Why don't they collect taxes according to the law?"

"This is so un-Jinyiwei!"

The ancients from other planes seemed to have seen the scene of the tax office reorganized by Lewis killing all directions.

But in fact, it was far more than just killing all directions.

All directions were considered conservative.
