Chapter 908: Honglu Temple

Work requires experience, but new jobs, obviously, there is no place to accumulate experience, but a person's ability to do things depends on the person's ability to deal with daily life, and slowly, there are more things to experience.

You'll have a lot of experience to accumulate.

In this respect, a merchant who is constantly exposed to all kinds of wonderful events can accumulate more experience than a dedicated scribe.

But they are all students of Qian Rujun Academy, at the beginning, no one is worse than the other, but after graduation, everyone has a different day, will have a different life, and people will have different growth.

It seems to be an inevitability, but it is not necessarily inevitable, and it has a lot to do with a character.

A person who likes to take risks and push the limits has a hard time accepting the task of being a copyist, even if he has to write, he wants to write down his words.

So what development a person will have, what he learns is on the one hand, the character of the individual, and the other.

But individual personality is not fixed.

It is also in a person's long life, many things that have happened have made people change a little.

All the changes add up to what makes a person's character.

In the midst of complex changes, one of the personalities will become the main character.

That's why the human face is so interesting.

Of course, in most cases, Qian Rujun is defeated by other people's humanity, so she doesn't like the changes in human nature very much.

Even the work in the Department of Transportation, there are many human beings that need to be eliminated, but Qian Rujun also knows that if you just want to find the best human nature to do things.

Maybe the Transportation Department, the helpers that the emperor had collected with great difficulty, would be driven away by her.

The choir always sings the most beautiful songs, and the bigger the choir, the more beautiful the songs.

When an unbeautiful voice is sung, there will be many sound lines overlapping together to form the most beautiful sound wave lines, and the unbeautiful noise will be fused away.

Qian Rujun can only hope that the people inside, due to their cooperation with each other, can sing the most wonderful arc.

After walking around the palace, making a final exchange with the emperor about her findings, Qian Rujun returned to the Transportation Department to keep an eye on everyone and do things.

Qian Rujun knows that sometimes you don't need to do anything, your appearance can make people's brains better and more inspired.

Qian Rujun has nothing to do, and it is not suitable to run into the space in a place where people come and go, so when she was in the Traffic Department, she began to practice calligraphy.

She hasn't practiced calligraphy for a long time, and her dog crawling calligraphy has not improved much after so many years of tempering.

Although Qian Rujun did not have a computer to use at this time, there was no way to write well.

It is estimated that Qian Rujun is naturally impatient.

Suddenly, a man ran in and said cautiously.

"Princess, someone from Hongzhen Temple came to look for the princess. ”

Qian Rujun didn't tell the student not to be afraid.

Qian Rujun knew that these people were different from the students of Xuetang Island, and those who had not been brainwashed would eventually go farther and farther away from her, and would not always be by her side, so she didn't need to be afraid of her.

With fear, people don't do too many bad things.

"The people from Honglu Temple don't go to accompany foreign envoys, what are they doing when they come to me?"

Qian Rujun knew that the Honglu Temple of the Han Dynasty did not have the bearing of the Heavenly Empire in later generations.

At the very least, they had to bow their heads in the face of the Huns, and the small country sandwiched between the two countries was the grass with the wind, and where the wind was strong, it would blow in whichever direction, and if there was no wind, it would be arrogant.

Only the neighbors to the south, who have no such benefits, can only touch their noses and lean over.

At this time, there was no tradition of giving gifts, after all, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was still shy, and it was better to have that money to give away, so it was better to improve people's livelihood.

And most of the timber produced by the emperor was also grain.

You can only harvest eye-catching items when you cut off a few heads.

"If you go back to the princess, it is estimated that it is still a matter of commercial taxes. ”

Qian Rujun didn't think much about it, and blurted out:

"What does the business tax have to do with them?"

After finishing speaking, Qian Rujun thought of what it had to do with it.

Many of these envoys who came to Dahan also had another task, they had to sell the materials they brought in Chang'an, otherwise they might not even be able to afford the money to go home.

Dahan canceled the commercial tax for many years, and suddenly collected the commercial tax, which was different from before, which made the people who had experienced the post-Lu era and been charged commercial tax very uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable thing is probably these envoys of Honglu Temple, they didn't have to pay commercial tax before, and when they needed to pay commercial tax in the past, they didn't sell outside and brought customers into the embassy.

The officials of Honglu Temple had to supervise their movements, and they did not go out for activities, and they could save their work, so they were not hindered from doing business openly in the embassy district.

However, when the period of commercial taxation in the later Lu Dynasty passed, they rented shops outside and continued to do business, and the business was even more prosperous than before.

The commercial tax proposed by Qian Rujun is not the same as the previous practice, it is not one-size-fits-all, but divided into many levels.

The difference depends on your size and what you sell.

For Dahan or this time, it is the first time to experience this kind of thing, and Qian Rujun is also very dissatisfied with the previous business tax model of Dahan.

By getting the business tax done, not only will the tax revenue of the state treasury increase, but more importantly, it will be more difficult for those who want to rebel to accumulate capital for rebellion.

As for the peasant uprisings, most of the people who succeeded were able to find rich people, and there was a big difference between those who invested and those who did not.

If you don't have enough money and you don't have a domineering sideline, then the chances of a successful rebellion are not high.

As for the hilarious rebellion, Qian Rujun didn't want to discuss it.

The royal family of the Han Dynasty has had several hilarious rebellions.

In the end, the rebels, the emperor was still very worried about what reason to use to cut off their heads.

If sundries and luxury goods are sold together, the difference between large and small profits is too much, and your business tax must be divided into two units when you pay it.

That is to say, it is better not to sell everything in your industry, and the court will not collect it lower, but only high.

That is, to professionalize the merchants.

The new commercial tax, the emperor's level of understanding, is not as much as the staff of the general transportation department.

As for the name of the Transportation Department, it will soon be changed to the Commercial Tax Department, and as for commercial development, the emperor has not yet established an independent department to control it.

In his view, merchants are also ordinary people, and it is enough to hand them over to the household department to control.

The main reason why this commercial tax will cause many people to protest is that because the management is "too wide", businessmen, as ordinary people, actually have a higher degree of freedom than ordinary people.

All the people who do business, even if you fight guerrillas, the tax collector will still find you.

Tax collectors have cultivated a lot of eyes and ears in this area, and not all of them come by themselves. They also know that they have limited manpower and are not part of the greedy sector, and they leave the matter to others.

It can be said that all the people under the emperor have been transferred and used.

The eyes and ears of the emperor are now not staring at corruption and perverting the law, but taxes, and the emperor's grasp of the hundred officials seems to have become lower, but in fact, the hundred officials are almost the heads of commercial activities, and their hands are also stretched out very long.

The tax on luxury goods is very high, even as high as seventy percent, because the emperor is a thrifty person, and if you eat fragrant and spicy food next to a thrifty person, you will long have been hungry to death.

In the eyes of the emperor, luxury goods are commodities that you can't use in your life, even if you don't have such high-end things, they won't affect your life.

However, there are some luxury goods that cannot be popularized at this stage, and if there is an opportunity to produce them in large quantities, they will be enjoyed by ordinary people every day.

In addition to basic food, people also need a little spiritual food.

And luxury goods are a kind of spiritual food for money, I have you or not. to see my greatness.

These people from all over the world and distant places naturally can't bring necessities to sell, and it is not easy to transport grain in places other than Guanzhong.

What's more, it is abroad, at least, the country closest to Chang'an City is the Xiongnu, and now that the Xiongnu have been destroyed, the national border has been pushed outward.

It's not a luxury, how can it be sold at a high price.

The last time they returned to China, the envoys had a major task, to investigate what was lacking in Chang'an City, and they could sell it at a high price.

However, they were sent their specialties in a targeted manner.

For example, goods such as wine from the Western Regions can be sold for 10,000 gold in Dahan.

"Is the person who came to see me an official or an envoy from Honglu Temple?"

Qian Rujun thought for a moment and asked again. She was now in contact with them in an official capacity, and she had to be more formal for so long.

"The officials of Honglu Temple, as well as the envoys, are here. If these envoys were not accompanied by the officials of Honglu Temple, most of them would not have the right to walk around. ”

Qian Rujun nodded and said that he could understand that there were some things that the Han did not want to be observed by foreigners, and Chang'an, the Han Dynasty, was indeed the most high-tech place in the past. Even if Jinmai City pops up, there is no way to fully replace Chang'an's position in all aspects.

And these messengers always want to probe the news of the Great Han.

Qian Rujun suddenly became alert, outside of Chang'an, there were no officials from the Honglu Temple of the Han Dynasty.

It is necessary to let the people at the border know that without consent and accompanied by Honglu Temple, it is not that they cannot enter Chang'an, and even the Han is not allowed to enter.

In this way, the gap can be widened.

Qian Rujun sighed, at least the big man has some sense of secrecy.

Dahan knew that silk iron smelting, even the manufacturing method of tea, and the cultivation method could not be spread at will.

Therefore, even if the Europeans got silk in later generations, they did not know which plant it was engaged in, and completely misunderstood the concept of silk production.

If the basic concept of things is wrong, it will take more time to figure out the principle of silk.

In fact, in the end, they still knew the principle of silk, not because they invented it, but because they stole knowledge.

In the 21st century, Italy's silk practice has greatly surpassed that of China.

For a person, the big man does not attach importance to intellectual property rights.

But there are still some wise people at the national level who know that some things cannot be circulated abroad.

And these wise people are always in control of the government.

Some people know that all his positions of power can only be useful if the state and the nation have the upper hand.

People like Shi Jintang ceded the land to foreigners, and in exchange for the decline of the subsequent dynasty, he himself did not live a good life.

They must use artificial means to prevent these from spreading, and the most common thing in Dahan is to target different people.

For these foreign envoys, they entered the country of the Han Dynasty, and it became very difficult to steal the forbidden circulation of the Han Dynasty.

There are very important things that can't even be owned outside of Chang'an.

The most important thing can only exist in the court.

Unless the eunuch spreads the word. The emperor does not do things, and the people who really do things are eunuchs.

The greatest means of defense that the Han could do was when they entered Chang'an, the greatest city of the Han Dynasty.

As a foreigner, you cannot move freely, and you must be accompanied by the officials of Honglu Temple.

When the officials are accompanied, they will even take you to play some things that ordinary people can't see, or even illegal.

But the wisdom of the state announcing that it is not allowed to circulate, they will regulate.

The officials of Honglu Temple seem to be letting you eat, drink and be merry. Or they may be with you as a companion, but foreign envoys or even subordinates are not allowed to go out.

Of course, envoys are also very protective of life.

Because the danger to their lives is especially high when they are abroad.

They need some people to visit their homes for their lives, put them under their hands and want to get out.

There are a lot of blockades in Honglu Temple.

Unless they can have the appearance of a Han people.

But there are many people whose appearance is too different from the Han people, and as long as they go out, they will be discovered.

Anyway, this is the function of Honglu Temple, and generally speaking, there is not much deviation in the Honglu Temple of the Great Han.

After all, the system of the Han Dynasty has not yet formed rules, and most of them are governed by people. Therefore, the person who can be the head of a place in general is because he has enough connections, and it does not necessarily mean that he has the ability to do so.

Instead, there must be someone below him who can know how to do things.

"Is it worth meeting me personally?"

If these people go on an official visit, then it means that there is a relationship between countries.

If Qian Rujun receives it, then it represents the Great Han, but he is the princess of the Great Han, and the one who sees her must be the messenger.

In fact, when Qian Rujun knew that someone was visiting outside, she let go of her senses, observed the situation outside, and listened for a while, she probably knew the identity of the person who came.

But at this time, it was the time to exercise the eyesight of the officials of the Transportation Department, so Qian Rujun asked.

"They didn't take the initiative to explain it. It is said that this matter is a business matter for him, and it has nothing to do with the behavior of the state and the state. So there is no need to send their official history out. ”

"What did the officials of the Honglu Temple say. ”

Qian Rujun frowned.
