548 The Infatuated Emperor's Negative Concubine (One Hundred and Five)
However, it was said that Daewon was negotiating with Goryeo, and Goryeo sent people back to ask the king of Goryeo for his opinion, and the king of Goryeo could not come up with a way to deal with it.
Daewon showed his sword at them with a way, and the king of Goryeo was really afraid that some domestic nobles would betray him and compete to be the king of Goryeo. Although Li Zhuohao said that the whole people were broken jade, but that was just his personal idea, in fact, it was impossible for there to be no one who was willing to be Qin Hui in Goryeo.
Therefore, the king of Goryeo delayed the terms of changing to the name of Daewon era, the name of the emperor, the tribute, trade and the garrison of 1,000 troops for a year, and the second year saw that it could not be delayed, and the main war and the main peace in the country were overturned.
The king of Goryeo himself felt that if he wanted to resist the soldiers and horses of Daehara, he had to decentralize the military power, and the military generals could realize that they were not the opponents of the soldiers and horses of Daehara, so he did not turn his troops back and take the throne, so he surrendered to Daewon and became the vassal king of Yongzhen, who had a different surname.
(Note: In history, when the Goryeo general Li Chenggui went on an expedition to the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong knew that he was invincible and demoralized, so he turned back and beat himself and abolished the original king.) )
This incident made Li Zhuohao so angry that he spurted a mouthful of blood, but national affairs cannot be solved by martial arts.
In national affairs, a martial arts master can't be changed, but he wants to maintain his dignity in martial arts.
In that year, Li Zhuohao led all the disciples and grandchildren to participate in the Changbai Mountain Sword Debate of the martial arts people of various countries, Miss Lei Mingyu's divine skills have been great, and his beloved grandson Li Ying was defeated by Miss Lei's sword and broke an arm. Li Zhuohao was overstimulated, and a generation of grandmasters died.
After that, Fu Junxian took over as suzerain, and his disciples were Goryeo radical samurai, who had long been hostile to Daehara's control of Goryeo. Although he also killed several officials sent by Ohara, it caused more serious trouble to Goryeo. The assassination of some of the "Goryeo traitors" and corrupt officials in their eyes made the small Goryeo court even more disorderly and chaotic.
That's all for later.
……
Hua Langying was in front of the Zhongshu Sheren, and the emperor often asked her about politics on weekdays, but when she was not in front of the palace, she went to the Sansi Mansion to read the information, and took some Jinshi, Tongjinshi and small officials of the new department to edit the "Dayuan Accounting Record".
In the official history, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the controversial courtier Ding Wei presided over the compilation of the huge project "Accounting Record", which made great contributions to the realization of digital and transparent management of national finance. Later editions of the Accounting Records have borrowed more or less from this version.
Hua Langying refers to the practice of Ding Wei in terms of structure, and is divided into six volumes: one household endowment, two counties and counties, three lessons, four years old, five Lu food, and six miscellaneous records.
She also introduced modern bookkeeping, which would be counted in a standard format.
Because of the large amount of material to be written, she also had to "quote" a pencil she had seen "in Rome in the West" and have the recorder write with a pencil on a standard notebook that was printed.
In order to achieve a more refined standard of commercial tax collection in the future, and to manage and supervise Ohara's business activities, she also wrote the Ohara product catalog in the modern catalog format, and introduced the product code of Arabic numerals and Chinese abbreviations.
After the team began to adapt to the new way of doing things, the efficiency gradually improved, and this vast project took two years to complete, and the first draft of the "Accounting Record" was finally compiled.
The "Accounting Records" also contains information on the financial revenues of the typical years of the reign of the emperors of Ohara. After checking the information, I learned that the amount of household taxes collected by the imperial court varies from place to place every year, and the officials increase the amount at will, and the people are miserable. Hua Langying referred to the income of several years before and after, and examined it near Zhongdu, and suggested that the seven years of Yongjing should be used as the standard to prevent and control the indiscriminate apportionment of officials.
In addition, she presided over the promulgation of the new tea tax law, which served as a model for commercial tax reform and the training and learning of officials. A 13% production tax is levied on tea plantation farms and a 17% VAT on merchants. Prior to this, the Ohara Imperial Court imposed tea taxes on merchants based on false estimates, which was beneficial to merchants and unfavorable to the government.
Because tea in this era is not like modern agriculture, it can be produced from February to November, in fact, it is produced in early summer, and during the two-month period of tea production, special personnel are sent to inspect and count the tea-producing areas and counties, so it is more difficult for businessmen to smuggle tea.
The system of rotation and special assignment, performance appraisal, and anti-smuggling commission has to a certain extent restricted the corruption of the officials in charge of tea in the imperial court and guaranteed their income.
If it is found that the other party has corruption beyond the standard, the other party's official is bigger than him, and he can replace him, and if his official is smaller than him, he can recommend someone to replace him.
In the first year of the implementation of the tea tax reform, although many people criticized it, the money collected was indeed nearly twice as much as the original, which was a shot in the arm for the finances of the Dayuan Imperial Court.
The horizontal display of the "Accounting Record" and the "Commodity Catalog" has changed the work of the three divisions and household departments from extensive to orderly and meticulous, and has also curbed some indiscriminate apportionment and increase in local areas, so that the people can recuperate.
The "Accounting Record" and the "Catalogue of Commodities" were compiled, which was a huge work, and Hua Langying wanted to print it so that it could be circulated by relevant officials for reference in their work, and when they saw the current printing technology, they remembered that movable type printing was also in the middle of the 11th century.
Therefore, according to the method of Wang Zhen (1271-1368) in the official history, she created the wooden movable type printing method and the rotary typesetting plate, which arranged the characters in a plate according to the ancient rhythm, which was easy to find when printing and combining.
She herself took craftsmen to make nearly 3,000 commonly used characters, using the Song style character model, but now she called it "original style", and after it was made, she dedicated it to Xuanyuan Lingheng, and suggested that the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court set up a government-run publishing house. This "patent" was transferred to the government, but demanded that the treatment of skilled craftsmen be improved.
Xuanyuan Lingheng and the court officials couldn't understand the "patent" for a while, and she also spent some lip and tongue, but most of the officials didn't agree very much, but Xuanyuan Lingheng rewarded her with 10,000 taels of silver.
With the money, she couldn't help but recruit the craftsmen who helped her carve the lettering, and set up a private publishing house. She gave them the shares of the publishing house, and then asked them to start making enough fonts to prepare for printing the reading notes and articles and poems of "Jiang Da Zhuangyuan" and selling them for money. She didn't believe that she couldn't collect royalties, and she couldn't make money selling books.
She is not afraid of piracy, because of the technical gap, the cost of piracy is higher than the genuine version.
Hua Langying also understands that whether it is the compilation of the "Accounting Record" and the "Commodity Catalog", or the gradual reform of the commercial tax with the tea tax as a pilot, these are all merits.
She prints her own reading notes and articles and poems to sell, which can not only promote the maturity of the application of wood movable type printing technology, increase income, more people read her articles and worship her in their hearts, but she can also obtain the qi that can fight against the hourly sky and heaven.
She didn't have to go through the road of fighting in the north and south every time, as if she was only good at using force.
She should also use her "literary talent" more.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Ling Heng was looking forward to her book revision and financial reform earlier, and was reluctant to release her, otherwise she was not sure whether she would be overshadowed by the Heavenly Dao on the way to release.
Hua Rongying has completed the compilation of the "Accounting Record" and the "Commodity Catalog" and the basic successful reform of the tea tax, and she has been a scholar for three years. She had a high starting point, and she repeatedly proved her ability, and was promoted to the deputy envoy under the third secretary, in charge of salt and iron.
The three envoys are the highest officials of the imperial court's finances, and are divided into three divisions: the degree branch, the household department, and the salt and iron divisions, and each department has a deputy envoy in charge of the affairs of the three divisions.
And now that the commercial tax is unified under the Salt and Iron Division, the emperor ordered her to be in charge of salt and iron, which is basically affirming her previous achievements in compiling masterpieces and tea tax reform.
Now Cui Ming, the son-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Song Yi, the former criminal division, have also been poached by her and are in charge of statistics and law enforcement.
Hua Rongying didn't dare to be smart, she wouldn't have reformed it all the way in the first place. After moving the tea tax, she began to move the iron, and the rice had to be eaten one bite at a time, and other taxes were not touched for the time being.
Hua Langying did not have the conditions to do modern steel rolling technology, but she was more profound in the development history of ancient ironmaking, so she first improved the design of the blast furnace of this era, so as to improve the efficiency and output of smelting pig iron.
Looking through the materials, the taxation standards for iron tools from mining, transportation, iron smelting, manufacturing, and sales were formulated.
She planned in a village near Zhongdu adjacent to an iron ore mine, where many miners and blacksmiths had set up a number of semi-finished workshops.
Hua Langying asked the emperor to borrow money, and then she took out a loan to the owner of the workshop as the capital.
The mines belonged to the imperial court, and several families in the village were authorized to mine, and they would pay the imperial court as much as they mined - this must have been very cheap. Mining families can resell to pig iron smelting workshops with blast furnaces and can make a profit difference. Pig iron smelting workshops sell pig iron to workshops that make semi-finished models of various iron objects. It is then sold to the families in the next link.
The families and skilled craftsmen in all walks of life worked for themselves to earn profits, and the imperial court only needed to earn the money of the miners and the profits from the sale of cheap finished products that were specially purchased. The mining rights of the mine do not flow into the pockets of the rich households, the division of labor improves production efficiency, and the craftsmen and farmers have hope for their own lives doing their own business, which greatly improves their enthusiasm. For example, during the tea production season, when the farming season is busy and the village does not produce at special times, then the personnel who inspect and manage tea production can also inspect and manage ironmaking. The effectiveness of government staff has also improved.
The low cost of its products left enough benefits for the imperial court to use the market to squeeze out the iron-making business that had flowed into the wealthy to occupy the profits, and the imperial court was easy to control, and customized ordnance could also reduce corruption and ensure basic quality.
When they divide labor, the property rights are circulated one after another, and each link involves their own interests, and they will safeguard their own interests: bad ore can't make good pig iron, bad pig iron can't be cast into a good rough billet, and a bad rough rough can't be a good tool, involving the next link, if the goods are rejected, it is they who lose money.
When it comes to ordnance, the imperial court refuses to accept the finished product, not only loses money, but also gets convicted of misleading national events.
Such an iron-making village has been running for a year, Xuanyuan Ling Heng came out with her to inspect the micro-service, and he also found that the interests of people in each link are linked, and they can contain each other, the imperial court is absolutely strong and has interests, and craftsmen and farmers also have interests.
……
"Aiqing is really a slow worker, and he can make good things! If every mine in the world could be managed like this, how good. ”
On the way back, Xuanyuan Lingheng rode a horse, looked at the countryside, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hua Rongying said: "The emperor also said that he was working slowly, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The words should be written one stroke at a time, and the rice should be eaten one bite at a time. ”
Xuanyuan Ling Heng looked at Prince Bao Xuanyuan Xiaohe, who had grown into a teenager, and said, "San'er, do you have any feelings?"
Xuanyuan Xiaohe said: "Back to my father, this is about what my father said...... Checks and balances, everyone has to buy and sell, they can check and balance others and others are also checked and balanced. ”
Xuanyuan Ling Heng nodded with a smile and said, "It's not worth teaching you." ”
Saying that, Xuanyuan Ling Heng sighed faintly again, seeing that San'er was so big, she had been gone for eight years.
