Liu Mengyuan seemed very disappointed. He glanced at him, but saw the new Chen Kaizhi in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Mengyuan became even more displeased, so he stretched out his face and said, "Chen Kaizhi."

Chen Kaizhi was still in a daze. Zheng Yan, who was sitting aside, hurriedly poked Chen Kaizhi. Chen Kaizhi came to his senses and looked at him blankly at countless pairs of eyes.

Liu Mengyuan seemed even more dissatisfied and said seriously: "Chen Kaizhi, come and answer."

Chen Kaizhi was ashamed and wandered for a long time, but he couldn't answer.

Liu Mengyuan was both disappointed and ridiculous. You were so confused when you took my husband’s class on the first day. Fortunately, you were still Jie Yuan from Jinling!

He took the ruler and knocked on the desk in front of him, making a thud: "Answer!"

Chen Kaizhi frowned and wandered for a long time: "What is the question of sir?"

Damn...

Everyone looked at Chen Kaizhi in shock.

The master has asked questions for so long and so many people have answered them. You, Chen Kaizhi, don’t know what questions you asked for?

Chen Kaizhi found that everyone was looking at him and knew that he had been wandering for too long, so he quickly explained: "Just just now, the students benefited a lot from the master's analysis of Shi Wen. They were unconsciously thinking about Shi Wen's affairs... The students died."

"you……"

Liu Mengyuan didn't believe it. He felt that this guy was not only a thorny, but was still so naughty. Now he still wanted to argue. He calmly put on his face and said sternly: "You...you stand, stay at home after school today!"

Chen Kaizhi was speechless, but he also knew that his teacher's order should not be violated: "Yes."

Liu Mengyuan was still angry and glared at Chen Kaizhi with his eyes and said angry: "I don't even know how to answer this light civil fu. You...you are really..."

Light on the people's tuition?

Is this the question?

Chen Kaizhi blurted out without thinking: "Students can try to answer."

Liu Mengyuan had the urge to die. Now this guy is coming to answer questions again, so what else can he answer? He doesn’t even listen to the class carefully. Can he have any other high-level arguments?

“What questions should I answer…”

Before he could speak, Chen Kaizhi was the first to speak: "Students think that this light on the people's tuition is unreasonable."

It's really... I can't stop talking even if I don't say anything.

Zheng Yan's face changed so much that he kept pinching Chen Kaizhi's legs, indicating that Chen Kaizhi had answered the wrong answer.

The others looked at each other.

There is no reason.

This light on the people's fu was proposed by countless great scholars.

How many people believe that lightening the people’s taxes is the way for the country to maintain long-term stability.

Senior Brother Chen... If you were punished by your husband, you would stay in the house, but you would be too crazy to answer this way. This... is a tragic death.

Sir, you will definitely have to suck your palms later!

Liu Mengyuan was also stunned. Obviously, Chen Kaizhi's strange and strange arguments made him hunched.

I have never seen such a thorny head. You are too arrogant. I just told you about the weekly teaching the day before yesterday. Now I have taken you into Wenchangyuan. You are fine. It would be fine if you were wandering in class or wandering. But you asked you to stay in class, but you answered the question like this. If this question is in the imperial examination, I am afraid that the first sentence will betray you and get out.

He was about to scold him.

Chen Kaizhi said slowly with a calm look: "The reason why people's taxes are not reasonable is to first understand why the court needs to collect taxes. The court collects taxes lies in disaster relief. What is disaster relief? It is to save the people. It is also to train troops. What is training troops? It is to protect the people. It is to arrest theft, and why is it to arrest theft? This is to ensure the people. What's more, there are also building bridges and paving roads and promoting education. All of these are beneficial to the people."

Liu Mengyuan was stunned.

Because he suddenly realized that what Chen Kaizhi said was not unreasonable.

Chen Kaizhi continued calmly regardless of everyone's astonished gaze.

"Since the meaning of taxation is to save the people, protect the people, safeguard the people, and benefit the people, why can't the court collect taxes? And why do some people argue over the amount of taxes? This is a good thing, but only some people are afraid that the court will increase taxes, which is mostly because the tax that should have been used to safeguard the people is used for other purposes and cannot be used in practice. Instead, they are deducted from it layer by layer, or they are embezzled as a way for the pleasure of some people."

"So everyone wants to reduce taxes, but students don't think so."

"The root of the problem is not the amount of taxes, but in fact, it depends on whether taxes can be taken from the people and used for the people!"

Take it from the people and use it for the people!

Liu Mengyuan's body shook, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Kaizhi in surprise.

He had never heard of such a high theory, but in fact, as soon as this sentence was released, it suddenly gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

Looking at Chen Kaizhi's eyes full of light, I was looking forward to Chen Kaizhi's continued answer. Compared with the answers of the students just now, Chen Kaizhi's answer is not only refreshing, but also has a... very wonderful feeling, just as Chen Kaizhi's words suddenly opened a new door.

Chen Kaizhi continued: "Since that is the case, the court does not take it from the people, use it for the people, and tries its best to make the tax use where it should be used, but it blindly reduces taxes. This is an irresponsible move, because if the country wants to be stable, it must train troops. Once the disaster comes and the people are displaced, the court must provide relief. The old roads need to be repaired, and the people also need to educate and build schools. All of these require taxes, which reduces taxes. If there is a border trouble, the court cannot fulfill its responsibility to safeguard the people, and a famine occurs, and the court wants relief, but it cannot be obtained, and even starves everywhere, then, is this love or harming the people?"

"The fundamentals of taxation are not about taxation, but about use. It is better to make a fuss about how much to collect. It is better to make a fuss about how to use it based on students' simple opinions. The court should focus on how to prevent taxation from being damaged, how to avoid greed from being greedy for taxation, and how to use them in places where they should be used to benefit the country and the people. If it is alleviated, then what is the use of the court and the states in the world? Sir, this is the simple opinion of students, and I hope the teacher will give you advice."

Liu Mengyuan was stunned, looking shocked.

What Chen Kaizhi quoted was the understanding of taxes in later generations.

In fact, it is very simple. Tax reduction is meaningless because the functions of the state need to be played. Blindly reducing taxes will only weaken the role of the state. Once the functions of the state are weakened, once disasters come, the country is invaded, or even the construction of roads, the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities, medical care, education, and other things all require money.

Where does the money come from if the country cannot make money?

Of course it is tax, so tax is the foundation of almost any form of country.

Because tax collection is the foundation, then as a country, what should be done is how taxes should be applied to the edge, so auditing, supervision, and argumentation are needed, but... it is by no means tax reduction.

Liu Mengyuan looked at Chen Kaizhi blankly. This time, he was in a daze.

At first, he felt that Chen Kaizhi was a "strange and strange theory", but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little scared, because Chen Kaizhi's words were not wrong at all.

This answer alone is enough to shock the crowd, and it is refreshing, and even... it gives people a realistic feeling. When I think about it this way, I find that the light tax is indeed a bit unrealistic.

"Sir? Sir..."

Liu Mengyuan didn't say anything for a long time, Chen Kaizhi smiled bitterly in his heart and called him a few words in a low voice.

This time it was Liu Mengyuan's turn to come back to his senses in a daze and said, "What did you... say?"

Chen Kaizhi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the student is asking, what do you think?"

"Ah..." Liu Mengyuan remembered that Chen Kaizhi was answering the question just now, and because he answered the questions too well, he unconsciously began to weigh the pros and cons of Chen Kaizhi's answering questions, so...

He was ashamed and stared at Chen Kaizhi for a long time before he said with a tense face: "Where did you learn this?"

Chen Kaizhi couldn't say that this was what he learned in his previous life, so he smiled faintly and said, "It's just that the students figured it out by themselves."

Liu Mengyuan was stunned again.

Because over the past few hundred years, the great scholars of the Great Chen Dynasty had almost unified ideas and were mainly focused on reducing taxes. In the hearts of the people in the world, reducing taxes means loving the people. This has almost formed a fixed pattern. No one would think about it from the people and using it for the people.

But Chen Kai's words really woke Liu Mengyuan up. He even believed that if Chen Kaizhi used this to tell others, many people would wake up.

This...is the economic way.

The original intention of the economic way is to be realistic. For hundreds of years, everyone has been shouting that they love the people and reduce taxes, but in fact, is it really good for the people to reduce taxes? The taxes are getting smaller and smaller, and the ability of the court to open up the canal is getting lower and lower, and the quality of officers and soldiers is getting worse and worse. Every disaster relief is too difficult. The so-called education is just a formality and is very fierce. But how many poor people can study?

The more you reduce the tax, the more you will get any actual benefits? If the river bank is not built, a large water will cause the harvest of tens of millions of people to be destroyed in one year. It is obviously just a river separated by a river, but because the bridges and roads have not been built, the people on both sides have to go around dozens of miles to reach the other side.

A few years ago, the Shanyue rebelled and the court rushed to quell the rebellion, but because of the insufficient money and food in the treasury, they even had to borrow from the wealthy households. The military preparations of the officers and soldiers were relaxed. A rebellion lasted for a year, and how many soldiers and civilians died?

Liu Mengyuan finally took a deep breath and spit out a word: "Okay."

He looked bright and said ok, and expressed his satisfaction with Chen Kaizhi's answers.

Then, as if he was still unsatisfied, he said, "Okay, OK."

He even said two good things in a row, and he even thought that this argument alone would be enough to shock the world by relying on a timely article.
