Old Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Xiaojun, since you were born until now, have you noticed that our Rongdan City is different from others?" ”

When Jiang Jun heard this, he thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Is it too poor?" ”

Xu Lao didn't finish his tea, he almost squirted out, then coughed, gave Jiang Jun a roll of his eyes, and then said: "Although our Rongdan City is the poorest in the entire Baoling Mansion, but the word poor, many mansions and cities are like this, this is not unique to us, you think about it carefully." ”

Jiang Jun thought about it again, but he really couldn't think of it, so he asked Xu Lao for advice. Xu Lao glanced at Jiang Jun, didn't say anything else, and said, "We don't have a levy here!" ”

！！！！

Corvee? I don't think so!

Alas? No, conscription and taxation are the weapons of the empire, and they should not be without?

What's going on?

Is there anything else I don't know?

Don't play with me anymore!

Eldest brother!

Jiang Jun really didn't understand, he hurriedly asked Xu Lao: "Please Xu Lao to point it out for me!" ”

"After Emperor Hong Tian ascended the throne, he vigorously reformed and rested with the people. However, the emperor was kind-hearted, and had issued a decree that the conscription was very heavy, and the prefectures and cities could replace the conscription with gold silk, and those who paid 20,000 gold per year could be permanently exempted from conscription after ten years. Your father is kind-hearted, and he has been helping the residents of one city and four counties of Rongdan City to pay money since the seventeenth year of Hongtian, and this year is the tenth year. Even in the most difficult times, we still handed over all the gold and silver, which means that we no longer have servitude in Rongdan City, which is the greatest gift your father has left you. ”

Jiang Jun looked up at the sky.

Dad, thank you!

I'll take care of the rest!

It's just that Xu Lao's face suddenly changed, and he said: "However, the first question has arisen, Xiao Jun'er, you can listen well!" ”

When Jiang Jun heard this, his body was also straightened, and he listened attentively.

"Because Rongdan City has paid the fee for exemption from forced labor, many people have come one after another over the years, and the number of households in the city once reached about 70,000, not counting the others, there are more hidden households, and there are many hidden dangers. Some people are not naturalized and difficult to manage, and Old Man Dong also said that there are few people in the household, and the problem is big, how should you solve this problem? ”

Jiang Jun thought for a while and said to Xu Lao: "This is also something I need to solve as soon as possible. My idea is that first, everyone should be re-examined, births, deaths, family registrations, and others should be reorganized. Because this design is something that I need to do later, this must be dealt with first. Second, we Rongdan City recognize hidden households, there are those who have not been naturalized, or those who want to be naturalized, can be declared to the city lord's mansion for review, including newborn babies, who dare not naturalize, we also recognize. This is also closely related to the subsequent census and land measurement. Third, people who are not local to Rongdan City, or who are not in Baoling Mansion, need to have a house in the local area, or join the army in Rongdan City, participate in the construction of the army, and can also apply for naturalization from the City Lord's Mansion. I will rearrange these in the follow-up policy. ”

"Hmmm! Well! Xu Lao nodded, and then asked, "The second question is also about the household." According to what you said, if you recognize the hidden family, if there is a newborn born in the future, how will this tax be calculated? ”

Forehead! That's a big problem.

Of course, this is indeed a big problem for people in this era, but Jiang Jun was born as a liberal arts student, and he still has a lot of ideas about history, after all, he was admitted to the case from the question mountain and the sea, and this is the best way to deal with Ding tax, which has also been written in the book, and he himself has also had extended reading.

So Jiang Jun said: "The overall direction is to breed people and never increase the endowment, specifically to focus on the census before the end of this year, fix the tax amount of Ding Yin, and no longer increase the income, and the number of names in the current money and grain book will always be used as a fixed amount, and will not be increased or decreased." No money and food will be levied on the new people in the future; Ding Yin is not calculated according to Ding, and Ding Duo households only pay one Ding of money and grain. When researching and reviewing the addition of new people to make up for the old shortfall, in addition to assigning according to the place, the distribution of people according to the person is still implemented, that is, within a household, if the number is reduced by one, a new one is added, and the new amount is added to make up for the reduction; If there are two or three reductions, and the new additions are not enough to compensate, they will be compensated by more than one household in the family; If it is not enough, the same as the same picture in the grain multi-person household top supplement, after the compensation is included in the breeding of people in the book. If there are other problems in the future, we will deal with them separately. ”

After hearing this, Xu Lao couldn't help but admire: "You doll, you are not very old, and you have a lot of ideas, but do you know how much impact you will have if you do this?" Not only will the household department not be able to pass, but the Baoling Mansion will definitely deal with you, haven't you considered it? You are directly equivalent to changing the tax system of Qi State, do you understand? ”

Jiang Jun stuck out his tongue and said helplessly: "This is just a preliminary idea of mine, it's just Grandpa Xu, our Rongdan City is too poor, too biased, even my father is a city lord who died, and there is not even a person who asks about it, if I make a slight change, no one should pay attention, right?" Besides, as the lord of the city, I don't have the power to divide the feuds, but I have the power to manage and adjust the policy appropriately, so as long as it is not fundamentally changed, no one will come to me for trouble, right? ”

Xu Lao thought for a while, and felt that although what Jiang Jun said was a bit one-sided, it was all reasonable, as long as it did not exceed the scope that Qi State could tolerate, when he nodded, he continued: "The third question, there are very few officials in the city, including the four counties and their subordinate townships and pavilions, this gap is no longer something that one or two people can supplement, and this is only the person who manages, and the people under him need more, but we can't recruit people casually, how should you solve this matter?" ”

Forehead! Another big problem! No matter what era, talent comes first. As for how to choose, the sages have already given us the answer.

So Jiang Jun replied: "Implement the meritocracy system and the meritocracy system, recruit talents, and rather lack than abuse." ”

"Oh? How to raise the virtuous? And how to seek talents? ”

"Raise the virtuous, raise the filial piety. Filial piety means honoring one's parents; Honesty refers to honesty and diligence. Filial piety can be done on the right path and clear stream, and its character does not need to be questioned. Seeking talents, seeking talents urgently needed in various industries, relaxing the scope of seeking talents, regardless of origin, regardless of men and women, regardless of age, regardless of region, everyone respects and respects them. Subordinate affairs also require a large number of talents, and the scope is still relaxed, and people from the Baoling Mansion or people outside the mansion can be hired. ”

"If it is really a talent, other cities and governments have already poached it, where will it be your turn, and how can you ensure that the talents who come will do it?"

Jiang Jun smiled, and he continued: "The scholars and students in the world, those who are talented and those who are not talented, are nothing more than the four categories of Shinong, industry and commerce. However, scholars and scholars have limited ways to ascend, and all the official careers in Qi are nothing more than the royal family of Qi State, which has already belonged to four doors and seven families, and there are other people who have been carved up. However, the pearl of the sea, there is also the genus of Yeming, regardless of my background, the children of the poor family, the woodcutter in the wilderness, and the old decay in the mountains, all of them can enter the official position of my Rongdan City. The second point, the follow-up I will distribute the list of talents in various places, the required positions in the city will be marked, those who come to the city to prepare to enter the office, the first assessment, in writing, fifty into the history of the Qi country, two into the history of the city of Rongdan, and the other three into the assessment of the relevant things of the department. Sixty percent of the whole department is qualified. Mr. Xu, what do you think? ”
