"Xiao Yi, how are you doing in Zhuangzi recently?" Bi Gou arrived at Lijia Zhuangzi at noon.

Li Yi ate hot pot and mandarin duck pot accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs.

As soon as Bi Gou arrived, the palace maid and the eunuch got up.

They took away the big mandarin duck pot that Li Yi ate with Li Yi and sent a small pot to it.

"Old Bi, did you eat in the morning?" Li Yi looked at Bi Gou and asked.

"Eat." Bi Gou sat down.

"What did you eat in the morning?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Steamed buns, millet porridge, shrimp oil side dishes on your Zhuangzi." Bi Gou answered truthfully.

"Got water in the morning? Do you drink too much? Got tea? "Li Yi still has questions.

"Drink, not much." Bi Gou recalled.

"Don't eat yet, I'll check your liver function in the evening." Li Yi smiled.

Bi Gou sniffed, the taste of bone broth chicken soup and spicy taste in the mandarin duck pot were so fragrant.

"Lao Bi, you go to the study to read." Li Yi couldn't bear it, everyone ate the mandarin duck pot, and watched it alone.

"No, no." Bi Gou gritted his teeth and didn't eat or drink from now on.

So the small pot was withdrawn, and Li Yi sat next to the big pot again.

"Xiao Yi, how much tax have you collected in just one month?" Bi Gou couldn't eat it, so he chatted with Li Yi.

"It should have been more than two months since last year's household finance." Li Yi guessed.

"Huh? Yes, more than two months, 1.8 million, the whole Datang began to collect taxes, and a month must not be compared with the income of several years in previous years. ”

Speaking of money, Bi Gou became excited.

"Starting next year, greenhouse vegetables cannot be taxed at one, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion will set aside land to plant greenhouses.

Greenhouse vegetables can no longer be sold at a high price, don't think about hundreds of cucumbers.

Removing the cost of greenhouses, the profits earned by the people...... It's still impressive. ”

Li Yi wanted to say less, but changed his words, it was impossible to say less.

Bi Gou sniffed again: "The people have money, they buy a lot of things, and there are many people who sell things from outside, so I collect taxes." Why do you say that the whole Datang collects taxes together? ”

"The household personnel have learned well, and they will be delegated to the state capitals this year to teach, and the details of local tax collection will be perfected, and they will be able to try it the year after tomorrow."

Li Yi is not in a hurry to collect taxes across the country, as long as Jingzhao Mansion starts to collect taxes, the money is enough to support Datang's current financial expenditure.

Thinking of collecting taxes in Jingzhao Mansion to support the national finances, Li Yi asked Bi Gou about the issue of expenditure.

"Jingzhao Mansion collects taxes, foreign merchants take receipts, and the benefits that the imperial court should give must be given.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion bear the consumption to provide tax revenue, and the household department has to allocate money.

Mainly to build roads, the main road to Chang'an in the surrounding twenty counties is not bad......"

Li Yi asked Bi Gou to spend money and talk about fairness to the other party.

He said that the main road needs to be repaired again, and it is not suitable for building a cement road, which is too expensive.

In addition to the county seat, the villages are distributed, and the road from the village to the county seat must be repaired to reach the village.

A portion of the funds will also be allocated to subsidize low-income families to repair and build new houses.

The money for repairs is allocated directly, and part of the money for building new houses is the responsibility of the imperial court, and some of the residents pay for themselves.

The part paid by themselves is paid by the imperial court first, and the residents pay it slowly on a monthly basis without interest.

Rivers and ditches should be cleared or cleared, and the creek should be widened.

Ensure that small boats can be carried on the tributaries of the rivers in Jingzhao Province to the canals of the villages.

Small docks could be built with cement to facilitate the use of boats to transport supplies to people without livestock, except in winter.

Bi Gou was in charge of listening, and the two palace maids and two eunuchs next to him put down their chopsticks and took out their notebooks to take turns remembering what Li Yi said.

"The people who have fields in Jingzhao Mansion don't want to plant hemp, they all plant cotton, and the strategic needs are exempted from mediocrity, and they are purchased by the imperial court to maintain the price."

Li Yi followed the train of thought and mentioned another thing that would touch the interests of others, mediocrity, cancel.

The people no longer pay extra labor time and hand in hemp and silk, do not plant hemp and mulberry trees, and do not raise silkworms.

All of them were changed to cotton, and the cotton seeds of Li Jiazhuang and Liuli Zhuang were enough.

Bi Gou looked left and right, very weak-hearted, he lowered his voice: "According to people, cotton is separated, and there are many large families.

They have switched to growing grain, and this year they have 120 households participating in the greenhouse. ”

He is familiar with the data, and sends people to keep an eye on how many vegetables are produced in people's greenhouses, and of course he knows who planted them.

"Don't worry about farming, not everyone eats the food grown, and the Yellow River freezes and dries up in Chang'an in winter, and there is little food."

Li Yi didn't deal with the land annexation of big families for the time being, took his time, and couldn't run.

Jingzhao Mansion wants to annex the land again, but there is no chance.

The Li family Zhuangzi lent money to others in another way, including buying clothes, seeing a doctor, buying cooking oil, and so on.

The people pay it back slowly, and if there is an accident, they can't pay it back, so the replacement period will be extended and the interest will be reduced.

He always found work to do, and the people could live without selling their land, and their income increased.

Otherwise, why would the people set up an immortal tablet for him? The immortal tablet is not set up for you just because you are good-looking.

Bi Gou sniffed again and swallowed his saliva: "Every year, special officials are arranged to sit in Henan Mansion, I am afraid that Chang'an will not be able to eat." ”

He understood this situation, Wei Zhigu went to Henan Mansion to check, so he offended Yao Chong.

He returned from Henan Province last year, after reorganizing the warehouses in Henan Province.

Chang'an ran out of food, and the emperor took a large group of people to Luoyang to eat.

Luoyang has a canal, not necessarily the Yellow River to support transportation.

"Old Bi, there are no major wars that need to be funded by the imperial court recently, 1.8 million yuan, tell the people, Jingzhao Mansion will invest in these."

Li Yi hasn't eaten a single bite of food until now, just chatting.

"Huh? All-in-one? Bi Gou's heart twitched.

"You said that you would take 1.8 million yuan to build roads and houses. When you really cultivate, you don't come out together.

If you don't believe it, it won't take more than two days to ensure that someone wants to use the money. ”

Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and told Bi Gou that if he didn't hurry up and find a way out of the money, everyone would eat it in one bite.

Bi Gou's mouth moved, bowed his head and sighed, the head of the household is still in charge of money, and it is not his own money, others will be worried, that's right.

"If you put the project out, no one else can touch the money. Now that the land has not been converted, you need money in an emergency, and you will embezzle it. ”

Li Yi gave an idea.

"Didn't you say that the funds were earmarked?" Bi Gou is looking for faults.

"You go to the trade union, transfer the money to the trade union, and the trade union will transfer the money somewhere else.

The HKFTU took over the task of repairing roads and houses, and as long as the works were completed, the money was spent in the right place.

The money from other places is not said to be earmarked, and when it is sufficient, it will be transferred to the trade union. ”

Li Yi explained the operation method of embezzlement of special funds.

Bi Gou thought about it: "What if they ask for a part of the work to settle the money once?" How else to move? ”

"That is, the trade union has a security deposit for the job, and you move the security deposit. The money is not enough, I have, I borrow the trade union, increase the margin. ”

Li Yi still has a way to deal with it.

"Can the money from the deposit be transferred?" Bi Gou grasps the key points.

"No money should be moved, and the previous household department has been less moved? If you want to establish a perfect system, the household department will issue treasury bonds, and I will buy them. ”

Li Yi strictly demanded that he not move, and the court would issue national debts, which would be fine.

"What is a national debt?" Bi Gou heard the new term.

"Debt-ridden." Li Yi gave an idiom.
