Chapter Seventy-Nine: Taixue

Even if it is to measure the Seven Mansions this time, if there is no Yan Yingyuan in charge. With fame alone, let children stop crying. In this measurement, I don't know how many troubles there are, but even so, these troubles are never less.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan asked, "Everything will go smoothly here." ”

"Your Majesty," Fang Yizhi said, "the minister has affection. ”

Zhang Xuan said, "Mr. Fang, please speak." ”

Fang Yizhi said: "The topography of the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of the north, the terrain is divided and broken because of the river, and there is almost no large area of land, and the field boundary is also bent and turned. This minister is helpless, but it also opens the door to luck for future generations. Please also ask Your Majesty to condemn the crime. ”

Zhang Xuan listened to it and sighed slightly, if it was before Zhang Zhen advised him, he listened to such words, although he would not blame Fang Yizhi, but he couldn't help but remember this problem in his heart and deal with it in the future, but now, he also knows that the manpower and material resources consumed to dispose of these deformed plots are probably on top of this little bit of tax.

It's just that I'm afraid that in this way, all the boundaries of Jiangnan will become incomparably deformed in the future. That's how the cunning of the common people is. It's just that those big households with hundreds of acres of land will not do this, and the people will be cheapened, and the loss of such tax sources can only be lost.

Zhang Xuan said: "Mr. Fang loves the people, what a crime. Even if Mr. Fang is not like this, I also intend to do so, I look at the documents of the household department, there are eight digits in two, such a slight difference, what is the matter, in vain to make the people hard, Xu officials up and down their hands. ”

"I deliberately ordered that the household documents should only be in the text, and the following documents should be rounded off. For the convenience of the people. ”

This is also regarded as an improvement in the level of national mathematics, the reason why there is such a figure, because a lot of taxes have been showdowned, the province has a quota allocated to the government, the government is distributed to the county, and the county is divided into the county, which inevitably uses division.

Naturally, there are times when there is no end, under all kinds of miscellaneous algorithms. Nature stretches infinitely below the decimal point.

Zhang Xuan naturally wants to clean up this drawback, but the most important thing in the household department today is to abolish the two yuan. The rest can only be put to rest.

"Your Majesty is like the benevolence of heaven, and the ministers have thanked Your Majesty for the people." Fang Yizhi said.

Fang Yizhi naturally knows, don't underestimate these fragmentary numbers, this is the key to the Xu officials' hands, only a little bit of difference, can let the people make up for one or two, it can be said that Zhang Xuan omitted this, not only to make the imperial court more convenient to calculate, although thousands of taels of silver were saved, but the people are afraid that there are more than thousands of taels.

Zhang Xuan's department knew that this thing was also done during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

"How are taxes levied in various places?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Fang Yizhi said: "Lord Yan is ordered by His Majesty to collect all taxes according to a whip law, and there is no additional tax except for this positive tax. In addition, most of the officials have been cleaned up, and the old men in the army who have just taken office are quite honest in their work. The burden on the people is not heavy. ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be good if it was." ”

Seeing Zhang Xuan like this, Fang Yizhi hesitated for a moment and said, "There is just one thing, and I have to report it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Sir. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "Jiangnan's heavy endowment is twice that of other prefectures and counties, which is simply shocking, although Jiangnan has a lot of output, but this burden cannot be supported." People's livelihood is difficult. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, his eyes dodged slightly, and said: "I know about this matter, but now, hundreds of thousands of troops rely on Jiangnan to pay taxes. I have no choice, as long as the world is unified, then tax exemption will be granted, and the people will suffer for a few years. ”

Fang Yizhi also knew that in the face of the current financial situation, it was already good for Zhang Xuan to maintain the status quo and try not to raise taxes as much as possible. Not to mention tax exemption, it's just that he is worried that this will temporarily suffer the people for a few years, and I am afraid that it will be hundreds of years of suffering.

There are several reasons for the formation of Jiangnan's heavy endowment. One of the statements is that because the people of Jiangnan supported Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was trapped with heavy endowments, which may not be true, but when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, it was also true that he relied on Jiangnan's taxes.

For example, Zhenjiang will have a tax of 7,000 taels, and the generals who attacked Zhang Shicheng from Zhenjiang to the south of the river temporarily levied taxes, but these 7,000 taels have been in Zhenjiang and have been received by the Ming Dynasty.

This is also a lot of Jiangnan counties, and Jiangxi counties are gradually separated by provincial borders, and the tax is a lot worse.

Of course, Zhang Xuan knows that it is unreasonable, but it has been unreasonable for so many years. The people of Jiangnan are also accustomed to it, and it is a good thing to be tax-free, but if you find this amount of silver from other places, it will be difficult.

Zhang Xuan can only make mistakes wrong.

I don't know if he said these words, Zhang Xuan felt a little ashamed in his heart, or for other reasons, Zhang Xuan didn't leave much to be wise, but just asked about the situation in the place. After Zhang Xuan asked, he said: "Mr. Fang has worked hard, with Mr. Fang's group of disciples, Mr. Fang doesn't need to run around in the future, he just wants to measure the land of the world, not just these few people now, it just so happens that the ministers have asked for the re-establishment of the Guozijian, I intend to ask Mr. to take charge of the Guozijian and cultivate talents for future use, and also let Mr. stay in Beijing and prepare for my consultation." ”

Zhang Xuan was so appointed, Fang Yizhi naturally didn't say anything but agree, and immediately said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's order." ”

After saying this, Fang got up and sent Fang Yizhi out of the palace. He was busy with other things.

A lot of general affairs are in Zhang Qian's hands, but for more things, Zhang Xuan will not let Zhang Zhen intervene

Hand.

Although the matter between Fujian and the Sea is at the end of the day, Zhang Xuan must make arrangements for the situation in North Korea, and so on.

As soon as Fang Yizhi left the palace gate, he was stopped, and a servant said: "My lord asked my lord to come over and talk about it, and it was in the restaurant in front." ”

Although Fang Yizhi didn't know who the person was, he thought that he was also an official in the DPRK, after all, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven. Not far away, there was a forbidden army guarding it.

Fang Yizhi said lightly: "Lead the way." ”

But in a moment, the servant led Fang Yizhi to a restaurant on the side of the road.

The third floor of the restaurant has been wrapped down by Huang Zongxi, and only Huang Zongxi is the first to drink the wine. Seeing Fang Yizhi coming up, he immediately got up and said, "Brother Mi hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "It turned out to be Brother Taichong. ”

The two exchanged a few words and sat down with each other.

Huang Zongxi poured a glass of wine for Fang Yizhi and said: "Brother Fang, it's hard to go to Jiangnan this time, but it can be regarded as a bittersweet one. ”

Fang Yizhi sighed and said, "Win the prize, pass the prize." It's just rumors. ”

To be honest, Fang Yizhi didn't think that there was today, he came here that day, just to find a way out for the Fang family.

But I don't want to change in just a few years.

Fengtai Luan Pavilion is Wu Zetian changed the name of the Tang Dynasty Political Affairs Hall, the Ming people are easy to use the ancient name, this Fengtai refers to the cabinet.

However, no matter what Fang Yizhi says, he is also from an official family, and he understands many things. Before the official edict came down, he naturally didn't want to say anything to the outside.

Huang Zongxi said: "Brother Fang Jian is in the emperor's heart, and now no one in Nanjing knows. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "Brother Huang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, this is not your character. ”

"Okay." Huang Zongxi said: "I am not talented, and I am valued by His Majesty, so I am asked to write about the imperial examination, which includes talking about the Guozijian, and I also ask Brother Fang to take the axe or two." ”

Fang Yizhi's heart moved, and he said secretly: "The rumor of the Guozijian was only heard after I came to Jingshi. Although His Majesty ordered me to take charge of the Guozijian and cultivate talents with mathematical talents, I have no idea what kind of charter it is. And Huang Taichong is often in the Hanlin Academy, well-informed, His Majesty ordered him to write a book, maybe he can peek a little bit of His Majesty's mind from it. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "Brother Taichong invited, how could I not agree." ”

Huang Zongxi asked Fang Yizhi to correct the axe, in fact, he also wanted to peek into His Majesty's mind from Fang Yizhi's side, and Fang Yizhi may not know.

It's just a matter of taking what you need.
