Chapter 516: The Impossible Art of Benevolence

Traveling long distances before winter was an effective means of avoiding epidemics in ancient times. As long as you can reach your destination before the first snow falls, you can reduce many dangers.

Spring is a time when everything is vigorous, and it is also a period of high incidence of epidemics, and there are many rains in summer and autumn, which is very conducive to the spread of epidemics. Only the cold and lonely winter, the epidemic is at the end, but under the ice and snow, the road is difficult to walk.

Therefore, the period before winter has become a golden period for people to travel, especially for the elderly and infirm.

After all, in ancient times, the biggest enemy of traveling thousands of miles was all kinds of diseases caused by water and soil adaptation.

Zhou Qingshan left, and was ready to go deep into the enemy's den, born and died, but he didn't feel much when he heard Qihang. And Old Man Mei's departure made Wen Qihang a little reluctant. Although there is no blood relationship, there is an old family member, such as a treasure. There is no respected old man sitting at home, and he always feels a little impetuous, which makes people panic inexplicably.

Especially the Empress Dowager Du, the old lady who was supposed to drive Hexi this year, spent her sixtieth birthday safely, which made Wen Qihang a little flustered while being happy.

Mrs. Du's life proves that history can still be changed. But if history changes, it is no longer possible to grasp the direction of history, and without such foresight, if you want to live peacefully in this dangerous ancient time, the difficulty factor will rise sharply.

Will Zhao Guangyi still die as a brother and ascend to the throne, what if Zhao Tingmei's rebellion succeeds!

When it comes to a position like Wen Qihang, it is very important to stand in line, once it is wrong, it will be a doom.

The small people of Shengdou cannot control their own fate, and a random order from the government to levy and issue labor may cause the entire family of ordinary people to suffer.

finally struggled to the position of a dignitary, but he still couldn't control his own destiny.

This made Wen Qihang feel irritable.

In the future generations, even if it is an egg people, they can ignore the head of a county, even if it is to ignore the supreme chief. As long as you don't plan to advance in your career, you can at least ensure that your life is worry-free.

But in this ancient world, it was really a county order that broke the family, and the mansion Yin who destroyed the door. If you offend the dignitaries, then there is basically no way to live.

The arrogant prince in white, those are all legendary stories.

Clean up your mood, the compilation of the legal code, you still have to pay close attention, and no one you offend now can offend Zhao Laoer.

After all, he still has to stay on the throne for more than ten years. I wanted to delay the compilation of the legal code for three to five years, but now it seems that this work must be completed this year.

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was changed from poetry to Jingyi, from one examination a year to one examination every three years, from autumn to spring, and from Jinshi to all subjects. Even if the imperial examination system is constantly changing, the only constant is that the teaching materials must be distributed first.

Otherwise, if the students have not studied, how can they take the test.

In order to add the Ming Law subject to the big examination next year, and the legal code as a standard textbook, it must be confirmed first.

Fortunately, in history, Dou Yi was responsible for compiling the "Song Criminal Union", which was compiled in only half a year, and it was completed. Now that it has been delayed by Wen Qihang for another year, I think there should be no big problem, but I still have to confirm it.

"Dou Guanren, how is the legal code?" Dali Temple heard that Qihang was inspecting the work.

"Hui Wenjue, the compilation of the criminal law has been completed. It's just about the part of commercial law, and the lower officials don't have any experience in this area, so the progress is a little slow. Dou Yi replied truthfully.

"It's almost enough, you can add a few words in front of the code, it's called a trial bill, and you can barely make a difference." It doesn't matter if you set sail.

“........”

The corners of Dou Yi's mouth twitched, a little speechless. This Shangguan of his, since he was on an errand, has been so-so, basically fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, either asking for sick leave or personal leave, all the work is thrown to him and never talking about it, except for the first day of duty, he said a lot of words similar to slogans, so he didn't care.

If others take on this kind of work, they are all conscientious and serious, hoping to leave a name in history.

At least it can't be so-so, just go through the motions, after all, it's about career and posthumous name.

Seeing Dou Yi's uneasy expression, Wen Qihang smiled and said with relief: "Take it easy, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth." In the future, if it's not suitable there, you can modify it again! ”

"Ah........h

Others revise books and canons, all in the hope that they will never change, but this smells good and sails, is this to deny their own credit?

"Keep up with the times!" Wen Qihang flipped through a book of laws in his hand, and pointed to one of them: "For example, the current commercial tax, fifteen taxes and one, I feel very inappropriate." ”

"This ........" Dou Yi pondered for a moment, and still asked rhetorically: "I don't know what's wrong, this is already much more relaxed than the tax rate of previous dynasties." ”

"You can't do it all!" Wen Qihang smiled and said: "For example, this luxury product should be taxed ten or even five taxes." As for this necessity, it is okay not to mention the fifteenth tax and the thirty tax. ”

"Please advise you." Dou Yi was a little unconvinced.

Wen Qihang chuckled and said, "What about luxury, it's like nine flowers and jade dew, have you heard of it?" ”

Dou Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he knew. Of course he knew that the Nine Flowers Jade Dew thing was made by Wen Qihang, and it was expensive to sell.

Wen Qihang continued: "This kind of luxury is not beneficial to the people's livelihood, it is only used to show identity, and the people can live without it." But it is cheap to build and expensive, so it should be taxed more.

As for firewood, rice, oil, and salt, they are necessities, which are indispensable all the time, and once they are missing, they will die. In this way, you should collect less tax, and for every penny of tax you collect, you can travel a little more.

In this way, the grain produced in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River can go deeper into the barren northland, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River can have more income, and the people in the north may have fewer deaths.

This is where the tax rate comes in. ”

“........ Wen Jue has a high opinion. Dou Yi originally had the mentality of watching the play, but who knew that Wen Qihang really said some insightful opinions: "Xiaguan, this will be modified." ”

Wen Qihang stopped: "Hey, that's it, this is a trial bill, so let's do it first." The top priority now is to hand over the business first, and I hope that this matter can be completed within a month.

If you set the tax rate according to the item of the commodity, you will not be able to get it all in another three months. ”

"However, what I said is a good thing, which will be of great benefit to people's livelihood." Dou Yi said anxiously.

"In this world, there is no such thing as a one-step thing. It's not too late to discuss the next time the bill is amended. ”

"How can it ........ So?! Dou Yi's heart was blocked. I didn't know it before, but now that I know, why don't I revise it? This is not a trivial matter, if it is really as Wen Qihang said, can transport food and other goods for a little more travel, then how many people can be saved!

It is said that a hundred miles do not sell coke, thousands of miles do not sell coke, if you can really transport more grain for a hundred miles, even if it is only ten miles, if there is a disaster year, you can also live countless people.
