Zhao Gou, who has gone through the late Ming Dynasty, clearly remembers a measure that Zhu Yuanzhang once promulgated: instructions for officials to take office.

This is a very necessary measure to tell those who are proud of the field that a person needs to know what to do for one parent. Because Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born at the bottom, was very worried about whether these new science and technology scholars could distinguish between grains and livestock.

After all, they are scholars, and there are very few people who can put what they have learned into practice.

Zhao Gou is now conducting training classes, and some of the teaching materials in it are borrowed from Zhu Yuanzhang's "Instructions for Officials to Arrive", including seven major items, such as worshipping gods, prison lawsuits, senior living, education, controlling officials, money and food, and social control. At present, these freshly baked officials, as long as they understand this, they will not be ignorant about how to be an official.

As for whether he can be in a high position from the head of the township and district in the future, or whether he will be like Jia Zheng and Jia Er's second master all the year round, it depends on one's own cultivation.

Zhao Gou didn't treat these people badly, as soon as he came out, he was a nine-rank official, which was a serious official. There are not a few serious Jinshi backgrounds, and there are not a few who are officials, county lieutenants, and chief bookkeepers. For example, Liu Tao, after he became a sergeant, he was the local lieutenant of Fengcheng County, from Jiupin. But when people can later become the pillars of the imperial court, this is personal practice, and it is not all that can be learned from books.

Learning to be an official in the officialdom and making your own progress on the way to the official is all to work hard.

One by one, they only want to get something for nothing, or they don't want to concentrate on things, and they don't want to make a career in that life.

The content of this textbook was quickly circulated, not to mention the curiosity of those students in Beijing and the alternate officials who had not yet filled their official positions, even the common people and gentry in the market were also curious.

They will be able to understand why.

After all, being a good scholar and being a good official are completely different things, and if you have an empty stomach but are helpless in general affairs, whether it is in this dynasty or in history, there are not a few.

However, this "Instructions for Officials Arriving at Appointment" is completely different from the curriculum of the prefectural training course.

The latter has been in the officialdom for many years, and all of them are 'good pastors' selected by Zhao Gou from Yiganzhi County. The reputation is not bad, but it is not comparable to those rookies.

"What, 100,000 per year?" Sun Zhang of Huairenzhi County was shocked.

This is more than six times the annual consumption of Huairen County. How harsh is that.

Sun Zhang estimated the cost of Renhuai County as early as the moment he understood the mission. Their place is close to Qilu, the northernmost point of Haizhou (Lianyungang), the mountainous area, the plain, the coastal area each account for one-third, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the land is fertile, the resources are abundant, known as the land of fish and rice that "enjoys the forgiveness of the mountains and rivers, and receives the benefits of the fishing sea", and is a county with many people and little land.

Of the annual expenditure of 15,600 yuan, 50% is the salary of the officials, and the remaining 50% is about 20% of the official expenses, including meals, tea, etc., as well as rewards for the New Year's holidays, and more to meet the needs of official business; The remaining 30% is to repair roads, dredge rivers, give relief to the poor, and comfort the orphans, as well as the Salesian Bureau (orphanage), residential nursing home (nursing home), Huimin Bureau (affordable pharmacy and outpatient department), Anjifang (welfare hospital), and Chuozawayuan (welfare cemetery).

Only this is already a little remnant, more than 100,000 people in Renhuai County, don't look at the land of fish and rice, life is actually not beautiful.

Now the cost of a county is as high as 100,000 yuan, and Sun Zhang instantly has the idea of picking a child.

"Huh." Zong Ze looked at the angry Sun Zhang, his face did not show relief, but was a little disappointed. This well-known magistrate doesn't seem to be as good as he thinks.

"What do you have to say?"

Sun Zhang instantly understood the look on Zong Ze's face, and the anger in his heart seemed to be more than three points, and he asked unconvinced.

Zong Ze didn't speak, but took out a piece of paper, which was the amount of taxes in Huairen County that Sun Zhang had filled in before, from Xia Qiutian tax to deed tax, poll tax, tooth tax, city tax, fish tax, wine tax, etc., all of the imperial taxes were listed, and the amount of miscellaneous taxes was also listed, and it was not the amount of one year, but the amount of his three years in office. It can be seen that this person is still very responsible.

But that's all on the surface!

"These are all taxes and fees taken by the government, so how much food the people actually pay a year, do you know?"

Huairen County pays 12,000 yuan a year for all kinds of taxes, the bulk of which is the summer tax, the poll tax and the wine tax, in addition to silk, silk, cloth, silk, cotton, etc., and more than 40,000 stones of autumn grain (the summer tax in the Song Dynasty is mainly to discount money and collect cloth). There are more than 400,000 mu of land registration in the entire Huairen County, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the tax per mu in Jiangbei.

According to the conversion of statistics, the annual tax discount in Huairen County is about 80,000 yuan. This is all due to the high price of food. Don't look at Wang Anshi's changes, the grain stone is only six or seven hundred yuan. But during the Xuanhe period, the price of grain was as high as one stone, three to four times. After the Xuanhe Rebellion in the north and the Fangla Uprising in Jiangnan were quelled, the imperial court continued to use troops against Yandi, so that Hebei was worried, and Jiangnan, which had just recovered a breath, also paid heavy taxes. Then the Jin people went south, that is, after Zhao Gou drove out the Jin soldiers, the world was a little more stable. The price of grain has also fallen, and the current price has been cut off compared with before, but the price of more than 40,000 stone grain and rice is still as high as 60,000 yuan.

Eighty percent of these money and grain materials will be sent to the central government, and the remaining two percent will be received by the county government and two-thirds, and the rest will be given to the state government and Luzhi.

Huairen County is equivalent to a bag of about 10,000 yuan a year, and 6,000 yuan of miscellaneous taxes will be apportioned.

Sun Zhang really loves the people, and his annual apportionment is only about 6,000 yuan, which is definitely a low level among the governors of the Great Song Dynasty.

And it was because he still loved the people in his heart that he became angry with 100,000 people.

According to the new law of the imperial court, the local and central governments are divided into fifty and fifty, and the county government and the upper head are subdivided, and then Huairen County is not a dime to the top, and there is only an extra 40,000 yuan of income, the gap is too big, and the apportionment of miscellaneous taxes must skyrocket ten times before it can be done. Such a tyrannical thing for Li Min, Sun Zhang felt that he couldn't do it.

But his anger suddenly stopped the car after hearing Zong Ze's inquiry. Of course, he knew that there was a big gap between the actual burden of the people and the government's regular tax collection, and that the extra burden was even higher than the regular tax.

Even himself, merchants, officials, and people of all kinds of filial piety, there are one or two thousand pieces of wealth and goods a year, which are all without taking the initiative to stretch out their hands, in addition to dealing with their own errands, filial piety to the officials and the state government yamen, after a year of eating and drinking, it falls 1,800 times, which is a little white in the Great Song Dynasty......

"This, this ......"

"The official takes one, and the people accept two, which is already a good land in the world. But if both of these are returned to the government, may a new law be introduced? ”

Zong Ze looked like he was in his chest when he spoke, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart. But in the face of a grassroots official like Li Zhang, as a chief executive and as the head of the cabinet, he must make such an appearance.

Li Zhang is not a stupid person, of course he knows whether "these two are all returned to the government" can breed a new law. Because this 'two' is just a rough idea, the real situation will be 2.5, it will be 3.

Besides, he knows better that Huairen County has not yet cleared the land, and Wang Anshi has not completed the clearing of the world's fields and acres until his death, who dares to stop it in the hands of King Yan? The Han family can't stop it, who would think that they have a bigger face than the Han family?

How much land is there in Huairen County?

Li Zhang, who has been a magistrate for three years, has never had a score in his heart. But he felt that even if it was less than 700,000 mu, it would not be less than 600,000 mu.

Huairen County has a population of more than 100,000 people, how can you feed so many people without so many acres of land? Fishing or boiling salt?
