"Your Majesty rest assured, if it is really carried out according to what the students want, Bianliang City will be able to provide the imperial court with at least five million yuan of commercial taxes a year." Gan Qi played the package ticket.

Renzong looked incredulous, the income of the entire country is only sixty or seventy million yuan a year, and the commercial tax of one Bianliang City can receive five million yuan a year? Wouldn't the commercial tax of this city account for nearly one-tenth of the annual income of the imperial court?

How is this possible?

But what's impossible? Among those dignitaries and dignitaries in Bianliang City, which one is not very rich in the family? Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones, this sentence is never false. Fan Lou earns millions of guan a year for countless intricate shareholders, and pays 70,000 or 80,000 guan in taxes to the imperial court, what's not to do?

Even if it is Gan Qi himself, the hot spring hotel has only been opened for a short time, and the money he earns in a month is calculated in tens of thousands. But the court could not collect a penny of taxes from it. Why can't you receive money, because Ganqi's status is here. Even Gan Qi's identity as a person can be like this, not to mention those businesses in Bianliang City?

In terms of making money, Renzong still trusts Gan Qi, after all, he has an extremely successful experience, under Gan Qi's extremely confident words, Renzong has fewer doubts, and said: "If this is the case, then Dao Jian you really removed my henchmen." ”

When this sentence is said, it also means that Renzong is still skeptical, but it also means that Renzong is ready to try it, and this benefit is too tempting. Give it a try, what if it succeeds? Even if it doesn't work, half of the success is enough, and even one-fifth is enough. Bianliang City pays an extra million yuan in taxes to the imperial court a year, which is really unthinkable.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are not many places comparable to Bianliang City. In addition to Bianliang, there are also three cities in Hangzhou and Yizhou, and these three cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Then there are second-tier cities, such as Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Pengzhou, Damingfu, Dongping, Jinan, Xiangyang, Mianzhou......

Then there are third-tier cities, Guangzhou, Yuezhou, Changzhou, Luzhou......

If you receive the commercial tax outside the city, you don't have to think about it, if you receive it from the countryside, it is really a competition with the people.

If you really take the commercial tax, not to mention the amount of each city in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, collect 5 million guan a year, and then go to the second and third-tier cities, so that the commercial tax can exceed the annual income of the entire imperial court in the past.

Even if the actual situation is only one-fifth of what Gan Qi said, the imperial court can earn an extra 10 million or 20 million yuan a year, which is also a huge amount of money.

Renzong is really tempted this time.

Gan Qi said again: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as it is successfully implemented in Bianliang City, once this law is promoted throughout the country, it will definitely be able to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court." ”

"Okay, I seem to have been moved by what you said, this invoice method should be a feasible method, I don't think much about it, this Bianliang City can collect millions of commercial taxes for the imperial court a year, and I will be satisfied. It seems that the new yamen is really going to be formed, is there a candidate in Dao Jian's heart? The emperor has already had a longing in his heart, just like his words, if this Bianliang City can really collect one million yuan for the imperial court a year, then it will definitely be promoted throughout the country, and if it collects 20 million yuan a year, the imperial court's finances will immediately be much more abundant.

Candidate? This kind of thing asked Gan Qi, and Gan Qi seemed to be not qualified enough to serve the emperor's appointment. But Gan Qi is not modest to push out, this thing is not something that any person can do, even if Han Qi does it himself, Gan Qi feels that there is a chance that he will do it.

So Gan Qi replied directly: "Your Majesty, the student thinks that the third division Wang Anshi is the most suitable for this errand. ”

"Wang Anshi?" Renzong Zhao Zhen shook his head: "Wang Anshi can't do it, now the three divisions are all operating on him." If you can bring Bao Zheng back to me, then Wang Anshi can consider it. ”

Zhao Zhen's mind really turned fast. Bao Zheng has been hiding for a few months and has not seen anyone, and Zhao Zhen probably wants to use Gan Qi to get Bao Zheng back at this time.

"Huh? Your Majesty, I'm afraid the students won't be able to do this. "Gan Qi doesn't want to mess with Bao Zheng.

Renzong smiled and said, "Go and try, you go and try it." ”

Try? I don't want to try.

However, Gan Qi still nodded: "Students try it, but Mr. Bao ......"

"Let's try first, try again, and try to persuade with all your might. If you can persuade Bao Zheng to come back, I will be rewarded. Renzong said with a smile.

Gan Qi nodded again. It's just Bao Zheng, is he a person who listens to persuasion?

"Go ahead, I still have a lot of papers to read." On Zhao Zhen's desk, there are still hundreds of test papers that I haven't read, and it is hard to be an emperor, and when I look at the papers, there are more than 100 copies. After reading it, you still have to think about the reason.

Gan Qi said goodbye with a smile on his face, he was in a good mood, and hummed a song when he left the palace.

Gan Ba had been waiting outside the imperial city for a long time, and as soon as Gan Qi came out, he beckoned to Gan Ba: "Let's go, drink and go." ”

Gan Ba replied awkwardly, "Oh, go drink." ”

To set up a new yamen, it is not so simple, the size of the authority, the scheduling of manpower, and the connection of all yamen are all troublesome matters. Let's talk about the size of this authority, the new yamen must have law enforcement power, but to what extent is this law enforcement power, then it is very particular, can it arrest people? Can you have your own prison? Can there be interrogation powers? Can there be the power to impose penalties?

Both? Isn't that too much power? It is sometimes not a good thing to have a powerful yamen out of thin air.

No? The power is too small, and it is inconvenient to get things done.

What rank should this new yamen be? What rank is the chief? What is the status in the court? Which yamen is under the administration? Or is it a system of its own?

There are so many things for the emperor to think about.

These things, in fact, are not so anxious, and the things in front of them are to complete the palace test in advance.

After reading the exam papers, Renzong also has a basic understanding of all the selected candidates, and he has to prepare for the interview.

On the third day, the notice of the interview began to be sent, and Gan Qi received the notice of the interview, and the expected things were not so overjoyed.

Cai Qu and Li Ding, it was different, as soon as they received the notice, they rushed into Gan Qi's study and bowed their heads. The two of them came with six students from Dao Jian Academy. In other words, this time Daojian Academy, plus Gan Qi himself, there are nine people on the list, and they are almost admitted to the Jinshi.

This was unthinkable in the past, and a session of the imperial examination would only take two or three hundred people at most, and at least about 100 people. It is distributed to all state capitals in the country, and if one state capital can win one or two, then it is not bad. There are also some places that produce talents, such as Jiangnan, such as Yizhou, Chengdu, and Luoyang. There will be a few more in these places, which means that many state capitals often can't get into one, especially in the northern state capitals, and it is normal for no one to be admitted to the Jinshi.

But even if it is Bianliang, there can't be as many as nine in one session.

This year, there are only nine people in Daojian Academy, and this kind of thing has happened for the first time since the Great Song Dynasty. Daojian Academy, this time it is really an instant hit, this academy this time, probably established the name of the first academy in the world. is also indirectly helping Ganqi's Confucian path.

Why is there nine people on the list in Ganqi's academy?

Ganch's education obviously played a big role. These people all used Ganqi's method of "budget and final accounts" to answer the question of floating expenses. The budget and final accounts system is a perfect answer to this question. One of the uses of budget and final accounts is to save money.

Gan Qi's lectures in the spring of Liyuan seem to be tailor-made for this exam question. But this is crooked, Gan Qi knows that the questions of the last exam are true, but he really doesn't know the questions of this year's exam.

It can only be said that the question of "floating expenses" is a person sent by himself.

Cai Qu Li Ding and others, relying on the "budget and final accounts" high school, Gan Qi himself did not use the budget and final accounts to answer this question.

Cai Qu Li Ding, with the other six candidates, knelt down and worshiped in Ganqi's study.

"Thank you, Mr. for your teachings!"

Gan Qi helped the eight people up one by one and said: "This time you have entered the officialdom, you must serve your official duties, self-discipline and self-discipline, and serve as an official, and you will definitely benefit one party." In this way, the teachings of the sages will be in vain. ”

"Sir teaches, students must keep it in mind!"

"Dedication to public duties, self-denial and self-discipline, serving as an official for one term, and benefiting one party. Students should memorize the words of the gentleman as their motto. Now Cai Qu has become Ganqi's main recorder of words and deeds, and when he has to record more, he has to make a book and pass it on. For one term of office, for the benefit of one party, this is a new famous saying, and the source is Ganqi.

Gan Qi's family, and even the entire Daojian Academy, were full of joy.

The jubilant is not only Gan Qi here, but also Cheng Yi's side.

Because Cheng Yi also received the interview notice, and two Luoyang students also received it. Cheng Yi's long-cherished wish was achieved, and it was finally his turn Cheng Yi's fame rose, and that night, dozens of tables in the Fan Building were all Luoyang students.

Cheng Yi is undoubtedly the central figure of everyone, and the people who came forward to toast him have already formed a long line.

This time Cheng Yi is going to enter the officialdom, he will enter the phase at sunrise, and those who have a good relationship will naturally celebrate with him, and those who have an average relationship must take this opportunity to come up and build a good relationship.

The wine was hot, and someone got up and said: "This time the palace test, Brother Cheng must suppress Gan Qi, so as to teach the world to know that it is my Luoyang Academy that is more talented." ”

Cheng Yi was also excited when he heard this, but said: "I don't care if the world knows or not." But let Your Majesty know who is a faithful servant and who is a traitor. ”

"Yes, Uncle Zheng is right, Nagan Qi obviously knows His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, so he dares to be so reckless and insulting, Your Majesty doesn't remember the villain, and he thinks he is outspoken and dares to admonish. Only we knew the situation at that time, the disrespect of the monarch's father was really a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Cheng Yi waved his hand, made a gesture, and said: "That's it, let's drink today, don't talk about this matter, the day after tomorrow on the Golden Palace, we will naturally see it." ”
