I have a book of good and evil

Chapter 212

Shannon Industry and Commerce
Feng Bingwen, who participated in the costumes, opened the answer sheet, and after seeing the test questions of this college exam written in scrolls, his heart moved, and he felt that the questions were tailor-made for him.

In the last government examination, he also wrote a sharp-edged policy theory, pointing and pointing at the officials and officials in the posture of Jianxian, and sprayed it one by one.

It's a pity that the effect was very little. Even if he made such a move in the imperial examination, after the examination, no one who was not good at bothering him.

But now in this courtyard exam, he is full of ideas, and he is going to write another policy theory to stimulate this rich family.

Feng Bingwen had thought about this strategy for a long time. The reason he was the first one to attract the aristocratic family to try it out was that the proposal of counting the land and census violated the foundation of these powerful families and would violate their interests.

And this time, if he wanted to stimulate them again, he would naturally continue to suggest that he could cut their flesh and bloodlet them.

tax system!

This is the focus of Feng Bingwen's policy discussion. Dagan's current national policy is to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, because the country's taxes basically depend on farmers who live on the fields.

Now it is a time of peace and prosperity, and the current emperor is also considered wise. As for the administration of officials, it seems that it is also considered Qingming because of several cleanings, so ordinary people live a pretty good life.

But even so, most of the annual labor income of ordinary people will be confiscated by the government, and basically not much will fall into their hands.

In Feng Bingwen's view, there is no doubt that this is unacceptable. The taxes that ordinary farmers have to bear are too heavy. Everywhere?Add some man-made disasters, and it will be a thousand miles away.

Therefore, Feng Bingwen proposed to reduce the agricultural tax at the beginning of this article. Correspondingly, all the institutions of the imperial court rely on taxation to operate. If the agricultural tax is reduced, the national treasury will be short-lived, and there may be big troubles at that time.

Therefore, Feng Bingwen proposed in his policy theory that Dagan can relax many restrictions on businessmen, but correspondingly, the collection of business taxes should be increased.

When he wrote this, Feng Bingwen's spirit was shaken, and he felt something in the dark. He thought of the mechanical horse that his father bought with a lot of money, and he suddenly realized.

As long as the content he wrote in the Policy Theory is adopted by the court, even if only part of it is adopted, he will have immeasurable merit, but this is not enough.

"Classified taxation!"

In Feng Bingwen's mind, he suddenly recalled all kinds of past life, and immediately picked up a pen and continued to write.

Today's Dagan is limited to productivity, so farmers must be taxed, but if the mechanism technique can be used on a large scale at a very low cost, then the productivity of Dagan will be raised by a level.

The people will have enough food and clothing, and they don't need to worry about food to keep them warm. After the productivity reaches this level, the tax system can be further reformed based on this, and the agricultural tax can be reduced or even abolished again.

Taxes can be collected in layers according to the personal income of ordinary people. A standard is set. Those whose monthly income is lower than this standard will not be charged any tax. , the more taxes need to be paid.

When writing this, Feng Bingwen can be described as hearty, but he also knows that there is no possibility of realizing such proposals now, and the productivity of Daqian has not developed to this level.

However, his main purpose at this time is just to stimulate the aristocratic family, because the main core of his policy is to suggest that Dagan change the object of tax collection from poor peasant households to high-income wealthy households.

Therefore, Feng Bingwen didn't write too much, mainly because of his accumulation, he couldn't write too much, but these contents were enough.

After asking him to write eloquently, the time for the college examination was less than half. Feng Bingwen checked the answer sheet, handed it directly to the examiner, and walked out confidently.

"It's only the second day, why did someone come out?"

"Probably handed in the paper early!"

"It's too early!"

"Looking at the age of this candidate, it is estimated that he is only a child. He probably just came here to gain experience, and he didn't expect to pass the exam."

"Probably so, but to be able to take the entrance examination, you are already a child. Such a young child is really rare, and the future is limitless!"

When Feng Bingwen walked out of the tribute courtyard, the eyes of the family members of the candidates guarding the entrance of the tribute courtyard all fell on Feng Bingwen's face.

At this moment, everyone was watching, but there was not much kindness in these gazes, and of course there was not much malice in them. They were just surprise, amazement, occasionally mixed with some contempt and contempt.

Feng Bingwen naturally didn't care about everyone's attention. After passing this exam, he didn't want to continue the exam. There was no need. It's not a problem to stay at home all the time when you go to various places in Dagan, even in neighboring countries.

"Wen'er, why did you come out so early?"

Feng Bingwen was still standing at the gate of the tribute courtyard looking around, when a young wealthy businessman covered in silk and satin and wearing white jade came over anxiously with a group of servants.

"I'm done writing, I'm too lazy to wait."

Feng Bingwen replied calmly.

"So fast?"

Feng Zichuan's face was surprised, with a bit of disbelief on his face. He had participated in the imperial examination three times, so he naturally knew how frustrating the imperial examination was. The imperial examination was not only about literary talent, but also about the physical condition and mental will of the students.

"Ok!"

"Then let's go first!"

Feng Zichuan looked around, unwilling to stay at the entrance of the Gongyuan, he pulled Feng Bingwen, boarded a puppet carriage, and left directly.

Another day later, the gate of the Tribute Academy was wide open, the exam was over, and many students who were exhausted or excited came out of the gate of the Tribute Academy in a bustling manner.

At this time, Feng Bingwen, who was the first to walk out of the tribute courtyard, was immediately known to all the students. rare.

However, Feng Bingwen's reputation was not obvious before. Although some people said that he had won the first place in the prefectural examination and county examination, not many people cared about it, but it was nothing more than a child's examination.

However, on the day when the academicians unveiled the list, when many candidates who came to see the list saw the name of the candidate who was the first to walk out of the Tribute Academy appearing at the top of the list, some of the candidates who failed the list immediately couldn't help it.

"Who is this Feng Bingwen? I've never heard of it before. How can I rank first in Jinglin this time?"

"Yes, why? I have studied hard for [-] years, and this Feng Bingwen is only [-] years old. When I took the entrance examination, he was just babbling."

"I don't accept it! How can a mere child be ranked first?"

"This person handed in the paper the next day and walked out of the tribute courtyard. How could he answer all the questions in such a short time? This person must be cheating."

"That's right, it must have been cheating. I heard that he has a lot of money, so he must have bribed the examiner."

"I want to see Zhou Mu!"

... At the place where the rankings were released, when many candidates and students saw that the first place on the list was actually just a little-known kid who was only 13 years old, many candidates who failed the rankings couldn't help making noises.

And this movement quickly provoked the chief examiner of the hospital examination, and the questioned examiner was also a mild-mannered person. He directly copied ten copies of the same article on the rice paper, and then posted it on Around the place where the list is released.

"This is the top candidate in this year's college examination. If you are not convinced by the theory written by Feng Bingwen, an examinee from Qingshan County, you can go forward and have a look. If someone claims to be able to write an article comparable to it, you can go to the state Beat the drums in front of the Mufu Yamen!"

After pasting the ten-chapter rice paper everywhere, the clerks who came to post under the order of the chief examiner said in a low voice to the hundreds of candidates who came to see the list. For more than [-]% of the candidates, it is normal for some of them to feel resentment.

"The first name policy theory? I want to see what kind of articles a 13-year-old child can write?"

Candidates who failed the rankings naturally dismissed what the officials said. Depending on their age, what can they write.

"Gah..."

The first examinee who came forward to watch it felt as if someone had strangled his neck when he saw the contents of the policy theory. He let out a strange cry, his eyes widened, and his face showed disbelief.

"Brother Qingsong, what are you doing..."

Someone who was familiar with this person stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. Just when he was surprised, his eyes happened to fall to the content written on the policy theory, and he was also shocked, his face twisted, and he said "ho ho" Voice.

But no one here cares about their ugliness anymore, because there are countless candidates with similar behaviors here, and every candidate who sees Feng Bingwen's policy theory is stunned.

Candidates who can participate in the college examination are all stupid people. At this point, their reading volume has already crushed [-]% of the scholars. How shocking it is, it can be called deviant.

"This, is this really written by a 13-year-old child?"

"Probably so. Only children who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth dare to write such a bold article. Even if we have such an idea, how many people dare to put pen and paper?"

"Abolishing the agricultural tax? Absurd, ridiculous! Such childish, ignorant and meaningless words are worthy of the first name?"

"Such a benevolent and talented man, why is he not worthy of the title? The agricultural tax has been abolished, but according to this, it can be replaced by the commercial tax."

"Business tax? According to the article, if you want to collect business tax, you must encourage businessmen. If such a lowly person is not suppressed, it is a kindness. How can we encourage the world to do business? Businessmen don't care about production, and value profits over righteousness. If we encourage the people to engage in business, wouldn’t this encourage the people to pursue profit? If so, it’s not far from the collapse of rituals and music.”
