"My taxes are indeed lower. Your Majesty has a kind heart, and it is commendable to care for the people. But in the long run, it is not a good thing to let them pamper them."

Said Yang Qi, director of the Bureau of Statistics.

These words made Wu Changqing into a dilemma.

As a person from the 21st century, in his view, the lives of the people now can only be said to be decent, but not necessarily so good.

If you choose to increase taxes now, it seems to be exploitation and oppression.

However, he also knew that Yang Qi was right.

In the current era, their living conditions are already very good.

People in other European regions have not even solved the problem of food and clothing at this time, and they are all skinny.

Not to mention their people, they are the football players who come to the Central Plains and Dahua for a friendly match. They are all very thin, and they are not Dahua's opponents in physical confrontation.

Once the living conditions are good, it is easy to satisfy, and once people are satisfied, their enthusiasm for production will decrease.

Moreover, by charging a little more tax, the country can concentrate its efforts on doing more important things with a little more money.

"Tax increases will be avoided, but those subsidies can be appropriately reduced, and the prices of some commodities can also be appropriately increased."

Wu Changqing thought for a while and still did not choose to increase taxes. That would not be good.

People are always happy about tax cuts. Once taxes are raised, no matter what the court says, the people don't want to listen.

Therefore, a more clever way has to be adopted.

For example, reduce some subsidies and increase the price of daily necessities, such as salt.

Another example is to print more banknotes to make the currency depreciate slightly.

Although these methods will increase the burden of the people’s lives, they are necessary for the faster development of the country as a whole.

In any case, 4% of fiscal revenue is too low.

These policies have been quietly promulgated, and the response to the people varies.

For the older generation who came from the Ming Dynasty, they have no dissatisfaction.

After all, they didn't have this kind of subsidy in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The subsidy given by Dahua is more like a reward. There is a subsidy to thank the emperor, and it is reasonable if there is no subsidy.

However, for the younger generation, they don't think so.

Although they were also born in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were still young at that time and didn't remember anything at all.

Since they were sensible, the court has had this kind of welfare subsidy, and they have all taken this as a matter of course.

Now that the imperial court has suddenly cancelled this subsidy, they will inevitably feel a little unhappy.

However, their lives today are not entirely dependent on that little production subsidy.

Without these subsidies, it would be a big deal to eat a few less meat meals every year, or to take part in a part-time job during the slack period of the farming period, and it would almost be possible to make up for it.

"Is the court short of money?"

In the box of the central gymnasium, two businessmen gathered to watch the game and chat.

A series of actions by the court caused Xu Wenjing to have such a doubt.

"How could the imperial court be short of money, but your majesty wants to adjust the distribution of wealth and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor."

Tong Youwei smiled.

Among Dahua, Tong Youwei ranks in the top five in terms of understanding of Wu Changqing.

He had known for a long time that Wu Changqing's ambitions were very big.

Not only must we unify the world, we must also prosper together, and we will even pursue equality between men and women and class equality.

From ancient times to the present, an emperor like Wu Changqing may have such strange ideas and ambitions.

In the eyes of previous emperors, the distinction between high and low, and the gap between rich and poor were all things that were supposed to happen. I never thought about it, didn't have that kind of ambition, let alone the kind of courage to change the world.

"Narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, right? Didn't the previous policies target the farmers and the poor in the city?"

Xu Wenjing said that he did not understand.

"Dahua's annual subsidy does not exceed 50 million yuan. Does the loss of a part of the subsidy have a great impact on the farmers? You are all staring at these subsidies, but you don't know that your Majesty has quietly issued an extra 500 million yuan.

Moreover, these banknotes were all used to construct various large-scale projects. You know, the average worker in this project has a monthly salary of 40. The same goes for other projects, all of which have drastically increased workers’ wages. "

Tong Youwei's tone was filled with admiration, because he thought Wu Changqing's move was really wonderful.

Those who are silent have 500 million more fortunes, and these 500 million are mainly going to ordinary people and the poor.

It not only increased the income of the poor, but also built a large number of projects.

Moreover, when the income of these places becomes higher, the labor force will naturally flow to these places.

Those businessmen who want to keep the workers can only give the workers wages.

After a set of measures, the currency depreciated slightly, and the overall income of the poor increased, which offset the impact of currency devaluation.

On the other hand, businessmen have to experience two blows: lower profits and currency devaluation. On the surface, wealth may not have shrunk, but in fact, the proportion of total wealth in society will drop.

This rate of decline may not be large, but if multiplied by the total amount, it is very considerable.

This trick achieved the effect of three birds with one stone. But not many people have seen it or felt it.

"It was me who was injured."

After Xu Wenjing understood this logic, she wanted to cry without tears.

He thought that Wu Changqing had changed his **** and started to target the poor class. After doing it for a long time, they were still stalking their rich man's wool.

"Hahaha."

Tong Youwei laughed.

"You are still laughing, you are richer than I am, and you lose more. By your Majesty's doing this, your wealth has shrunk by at least two percentage points."

Xu Wenjing vomited.

"So what? Money is just a number to me. More and less, my life will not change.

My greatest joy now is to watch Dahua's changes day by day, and watch our saints change the world. I have to say that the means of our sage is amazing. I heard that there are still some businessmen who are not convinced and want to fight with your majesty. "

Tong Youwei is not bragging, he has indeed reached this state.

"That's true. I also want to know what Dahua will become in my lifetime. The changes are so great that I can't imagine them.

Before, I was not very afraid of death, but now I am afraid, and I am afraid that after death, I will not be able to see what Dahua will look like in the future. "

Xu Wenjing said.

"Have you heard of the 815 plan?"

Tong Youwei asked.

"No, what's the plan."

"There is a rocket research team that is developing a launcher that can fly to the moon."

"What?"

Xu Wenjing thought he had heard it wrong, go to the moon, what a joke.

"If you raise your body and live for a few more years, you might be able to see it."

Tong Youwei said.
