While focusing on the education of the graded school, Yang Xuan did not relax the cultivation of military and political talents.

In the previous life, the Whampoa Military Academy was like thunder, but many people did not know that Sun Yat-sen founded the Whampoa Military Academy at the same time, but also founded Sun Yat-sen University to cultivate military and political talents.

When he expelled the Tatars and restored the CD Mansion last year, Yang Xuan had this plan, pondering the transformation of the CD Gongyuan into a cradle for local technical officials.

At the same time as the transformation of traditional private school education, the Sichuan Civil Affairs College also plans to start classes in early August.

Due to the demonstration effect of the military academy, the enrollment of the School of Civil Affairs was popular with everyone as soon as it was launched.

Three years ago, the Wubei Academy was facing the army and recruiting students from the local area in Shunqing Mansion, and everyone didn't think so, what could those illiterate Qiu Ba have?

The result was unexpected, after half a year of training, many illiterate Qiu Ba did things in an orderly manner, revealing self-confidence in his speech, and more importantly, he led the soldiers one by one to win consecutive battles on the battlefield, which was impressive.

After three years, many low-ranking officers in the past have become generals and generals, and some have even become generals or local commanders, which is very enviable.

There is a demonstration of the military academy in front, and the news of the enrollment of the Military and Political Academy has just come out, which has caused a sensation again in Sichuan Shilin.

Among them, Fermi is one of them, and now he is ready to do something.

Seeing that Fei Mi was eager to take the exam, the magistrate said disapprerovingly: "Mr. Fei, you are a classmate with the Hou Ye, you don't need to take this road, you can join the shogunate like Zhang Lang and others, and make contributions." ”

Fei Mi fell into a deep thought, thinking of the scene of meeting Yang Xuan last year, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past few months, and sighed in his heart.

Yang Xuan, who was defeated last year, returned to the CD Mansion, and after the government affairs were sorted out for a while, he came to Jinjiang Academy with three or five retinues on this day to visit his former classmates.

Fei Mi and the others welcomed him into the hall, and when everyone was seated, they expressed their thoughts.

Now that the college is dilapidated, I hope to donate a little money to rebuild the school building.

Yang Xuan smiled, looked at the other party and said, "This brother, it's easy to talk about fundraising, everyone is not crazy that I robbed the Haoge camp, and I have a little silver."

This silver, if it is placed in the treasury, it will not make money, of course, it is for everyone to spend.

However, this brother, I heard that you were caught by bandits, why are you back now? ”

Fei Mi smiled and said, "Brother Zi, don't change the topic, the academy is so dilapidated, tell me, how much money are you going to spend and donate?" ”

Everyone couldn't imagine that the other party was so generous, and they shouted loudly, some claimed to ask for ten taels of silver, some claimed to ask for one hundred taels of silver, and the most shouted five hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that the other party was smiling and silent, Fei Mi pushed and said: "Brother Zixiu, I know that you are different from the past, you held two copper coins in the academy for a long time that day, but you are different from the past."

Last month, you rewarded the three armies, and I heard that you spent 400,000 taels of silver.

You also studied in the academy, and you have to give up this money to repair the academy. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and looked at everyone: "Brothers, in the past, in the academy, the younger brother had a nickname Xiao Zhao Kuo.

Brothers, in less than a few years, why was the younger brother able to act as the governor of Sichuan from a poor scholar, and why was this so? ”

Some people frowned, especially when they thought of their predicament today, the scene was a little solemn, and after a long time, Fei Mi arched his hand and said: "I want to hear it in detail."

Picking up the cup from the desk and taking a sip, Yang Xuan stood up and talked eloquently.

Starting from book knowledge, to the feelings of the past few years, of course, the focus falls on your future plans.

Yang Xuan seemed sincere and told everyone that he was able to succeed today mainly because the ancestors had left more than 20 acres of public land, and the clansmen were able to hire private school teachers to educate everyone to read and break.

Mainly because he is well-read, rather than reading the teachings of the Four Books and the Five Classics, mainly because he is close to the people's livelihood, discovers the great disadvantages of society, and practices himself, starting from the ridiculed Shi Peng (ancient market managers) to protect the land, so that he has such achievements.

Now although the Tartars have retreated, they may make a comeback at any time, they need to rebuild the army, they need the government at all levels to establish their own small cabinets, and the local grassroots also need to establish grassroots organizations such as township offices and Xiangfang offices.

Facing everyone's warm eyes, Yang Xuan said with a smile that his own study is not as rigorous as Fei Mi, and his classmates in the academy are all local leaders, and what is lacking at present is experience.

Yang Xuan is now the acting governor of Sichuan, and when he said this kind of thing in public, his heart to recruit talents was overflowing.

The worst of Jinjiang Academy is also a showman, everyone is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, compared with those who raise people to enter the scholars, what is slightly worse is the heat of making a fuss, or luck.

Everyone studied hard, and what they dreamed of was to come out to be an official and make a fortune, or to realize the simple revenge in their hearts.

Now listening to Yang Xuan's meaning, I hope that everyone will respond, who in this world thinks they are small?

Fei Mi chose to enter politics, originally thinking that he would be able to sit in a county, but who knew that he would be assigned to a remote mountainous area to become a household scrivener.

Fermi is conceited that he was able to help the people in his life, and now he has such a result, and his inner anger can be imagined.

Originally, I had the intention not to go, but my family repeatedly admonished me, and finally came to Neijiang County, Chongqing Prefecture.

The county magistrate was in his thirties, and he didn't have much literature and ink, and when he heard that Fei Mi had arrived, he immediately invited him to the second hall.

Talking about the new policy, Wang Zhixian was full of praise and repeatedly refuted all kinds of slanders against adults in the world.

In the past, the imperial court levied three salaries, and the local governments apportioned them layer by layer, and four or five dollars of silver were paid for one acre of land, and it was not cost-effective for the common people to farm the land, even if in a rich place like the CD Plain, everyone fled the famine.

Although there are people who take care of the readers, Xiucai exempts one load of grain and one person Ding, and lifts people to reduce three loads of grain and one person Ding, in addition to this, everyone pays the same grain, each mu is only one liter of rice, and each ding is only one dollar and two cents.

Adults practice benevolent governance, but some readers make rumors and insist that adults are tyrannical, what is the reason?

………

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is believing, and Fermi didn't believe it at first, but it dawned on him a few days later.

In the county seat a month ago, I followed a government official to the street every day to be on duty, and all kinds of things I saw were shocking.

First of all, according to the household registration book of the county, the county shops, shops are checked, different from the past kind of books, the household has a general table, divided into categories to record the store information.

Walking into a grain store on this day, although the owner of the grain store complained bitterly, he claimed that the business is not good now, and he gets up early every day to touch the dark, just trying to have food and clothing.

In the past, the government never collected taxes, but now it has to register and pay taxes, which is really not a good business.

Seeing that the other party complained repeatedly, he even seemed quite dissatisfied with the tolerance, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, you are really bitter."

Hong Wuye set the standard of three and nine rules, you say, do you have two thousand taels of silver a year to sell things in your store? ”

Fei Mi rubbed his eyes, thinking that it was Lao Liu who said, how could such an inconspicuous shop exceed two thousand taels of silver a year?

The brothers were more kind-hearted, and only reported each other's annual income of 1,000 taels of silver, which was a lot less.

What is surprising is that the shopkeeper does not dare to distinguish, and keeps saying that the business is not good now, unlike in the past peaceful years, if you pay twenty taels of silver every year in the peaceful years, there is nothing?

Lao Wang smiled, shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper, you, your net worth is not unknown to everyone, although you rarely paid taxes in the past, but you bribed officials, how could you have lost these twenty taels of silver?" ”

Speaking of this, the fat shopkeeper is energetic, in the past, he had to pay twenty or thirty taels of money every year, not including the New Year's holidays and the expenses spent when the new official took office.

Lao Wang heard it and laughed, now there is no need to hand over the money, now you only need to pay taxes, it is bright and bright, it is good for everyone.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and halfway through the way, Fei Mi asked about the money, it turned out that it was the legal income of the government in the past, and the officials in the city could collect thirty or fifty taels of money every year, and if it was about other income, it would be even more.

Fei Mi was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that such a grain store would have such a large income in a year?

The government collects commercial taxes, but I can't imagine that there is a discount below, and it is clear that the income of 2,000 taels a year is only 1,000 taels, so the tax is reduced by half.

Fei Mi was pondering, but then he was stopped by Lao Wang's words, compared to the master in the bazaar, the master on the dock, that is called a small witch.

When they came to the wharf, one after another awning boats docked, two or three servants collected taxes at the wharf, those who did not pay the customs levies needed to pay the customs levies, and those who had already paid did not need to pay them repeatedly.

Each ship docked, the boat boss jumped ashore to put down the ingots, and then reported what was being shipped and how much was it worth?

The officers do a simple check, check some of the values that do not match, and then pay the tax according to the major items.

However, discerning people found that the amount of these ship bosses was often underreported, and the errand officers did not dig too deeply, so they tore up the tickets and paid the fees.

Looking at the more than 30 ships moored in the port, and listening to Lao Wang tell the anecdotes of the past, Fei Mi was dumbfounded.

In the past, the wharf belonged to Uncle He in the city, and all those who docked at the shore were as little as three or five cents, and as much as two or three dollars of silver, especially in the market season, when the ships full of calluses sailed by, and each ship collected five or six dollars of silver.

Because he is in charge of the largest wharf in the city, Uncle He's family has a lot of money, thousands of acres of fertile land, and the amount of money paid to the yamen every year is enough to 200 taels.

…….

If he was at first puzzled, whether in the city or in the country, Fermi realized that what the pamphlet said was true.

After sighing, he remembered that the imperial court had levied three salaries in the past, and the government had apportioned them layer by layer, as Yang Xuan said, these people's fat and people's ointment should have been uniformly controlled by the government, but they were greedy by these gentry and officials.

……

As the head of the township, Fei Mi was initially surprised that more than 100 homeless people had settled in one township, some of whom were rich and unwilling to borrow grain from the government, and some who had no food and had borrowed grain to settle down.

In the past few months, Fei Mi has been running around the resettlement sites of displaced people, and at first he was worried that these displaced people would cause chaos, but after half a month of getting along, he found that most of them were honest farmers.

Most of the people ate very poorly, and most of them boiled the borrowed grain into rice porridge and drank it, and ate it together with the wild vegetables collected in the mountains.

In the past, everyone also had a warm home and land, but the government levied and apportioned layers of money, and each mu of land was levied to three or five yuan of silver, plus the grain harvest in the field failed, so it was not cost-effective to farm the land.

Although the rest of the place is very chaotic, the local place is stable, which was unimaginable in the past.

In addition, there is a special distrust of the government.

I asked vigorously, is the future principal and interest of the grain loaned as much as written on the transportation artery?

Is the field rich in the field, a mu of rice and a bucket of rice?

What is more concerned is whether the government levies non-local labor? bluntly said that if the pillars of the family were conscripted into labor, then the family would be scattered.

Now hearing about Sichuan Civil Affairs University, Fei Mi originally expected to work at the grassroots level for an extra year and a half, but he really couldn't withstand the persuasion of his family, and after three rounds of exams, he became the first batch of students.
