Xiao Danzhong thought about the ancient times to understand what was going on with the poor boy, as Sun Dan understood, Fangshan has a population of more than 100,000 households, because it is close to the capital and has a large population, which can be regarded as an upper county seat. But because of being in the suburbs of Beijing, things are a little complicated. Most of the fertile land in the county is owned by local wealthy families, and more than ninety percent of the land is not taxable, and the remaining one percent of the land cannot pay a few grains of grain every year.

According to the records of Sun Dan in the archives consulted in the leopard room before, the annual national tax of imperial grain paid by Fangshan was only more than 2,000 taels of silver. A county only pays this tax every year, which is really a joke.

Today, the sea is peaceful, and the people are rich. It was a rare period of prosperity in the Ming Dynasty.

In general, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were still very light, and there were many preferential treatments for the scholar class, so that a large amount of national wealth was lost to the landlords and the wealthy class. The government and the emperor did not enjoy the benefits of economic prosperity. This phenomenon was not only seen by Sun Dan and the emperor. Yang Ting and them also know that everyone has the heart to reform. It's just that everyone has their own views on the way to reform.

For example, the emperor, although he wants to reform, he is unwilling to make too many adjustments, after all, he inherits the throne and needs a period of time to consolidate his power. And Sun Dan didn't want to be too aggressive, pushing himself to the forefront and causing himself big trouble. Therefore, both Sun Dan and the emperor believed that it was better to move than to move. Let's find a place to test the water first. This reform is an economic reform, and it is limited to the level of tax reform.

Yang Tinghe, on the other hand, believes that reform will require a sudden storm, and if we want to implement the new policy, we must start from the personnel aspect. Otherwise, no matter how good the policy is, the people below will be vain, and no matter how good the plan is, it will go bankrupt. In Yang's view, the elimination of redundant officials is more urgent than tax reform.

Sun Dan is going to the following pilot this time, so it's up to him to go. Just find him a place like Fangshan and let him know how powerful it is, so that he can fully realize that if he doesn't straighten out the personnel, no matter how good the charter is, it will be useless in the end.

Sun Dan smiled bitterly in his heart: Yang Fu is going to give me a dismissal, so that I can join his political reform team! This time, I will go down to clear the land and increase the tax revenue, if I only rely on the collection of land taxes. How much tax can be collected? To increase your income. You have to go to the land of the doctors and the local nobles. Those people are inextricably linked with the grandmothers in the capital, and if they move one, they move a group. If you want to carry out the reform smoothly, you have to join hands with Yang Tinghe to repair those officials. You can't do this kind of thing that offends people!

Didn't I, Sun Dan, swear to the emperor at that time to propose the method of passing the examination? Don't let the emperor give himself a test score, and measure Sun Dan's political performance with increased land and taxes. Well, with the temperament of a little emperor, he should do this.

But where to go is not up to the cabinet and the ministry, and Sun Dan has no choice. Instead of bargaining with Qiao Yu and Yang Shen and making them look down on them, it is better to be happy.

Sun Dan had to smile bitterly: "Since all the adults have arranged it, Sun Dan might as well be respectful." ”

Seeing Sun Dan agree, Yang Shen and Qiao Yu were both relieved in their hearts, and they both secretly screamed in their hearts: The position of Fangshan magistrate has always been a hot potato, not only does it have no benefits to gain, but also risks offending the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee. This Sun Jingyuan rose to the occasion, but he was a person with a commitment.

Yang Shen felt a little sad for this old friend in his heart, and he could also imagine the pressure Sun Dan would encounter after going to Fangshan in the future. But. He came here to see Sun Dan is father's explanation, but he couldn't be sloppy. So, Yang Shen straightened up, and his tone became solemn: "Jingyuan, the test method you proposed in front of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, my father thought it was a good method after hearing it. I came here to ask my father how much more tax revenue he could increase in a year after Jingyuan went to Fangshan to take up his post in Fangshan.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present heard the aggressiveness in his words.

Sun Dan also felt a little headache, and retorted: "What does Elder Ge mean?" ”

Yang Shen said: "Fangshan is also an upper county, so let's follow the standards of other upper counties in Shuntianfu." ”

Lord Yin Li of Shuntian Mansion said slowly: "According to the standards of Tong County, Fangshan should pay taxes for the imperial court every year and convert it into silver, which should be 30,000 taels. This figure should be possible, there are 100,000 households in Fangshan, and the burden on the people will not be too heavy if each household pays two coins of silver per year. ”

These two people have given this number with a word from you.

Sun Dan laughed in his heart, Tongzhou is a water and land transportation terminal, and the taxes paid in a year are not more than 30,000, not to mention 50,000. But Fangshan is a large agricultural county, and more than ninety percent of the land is tax-free, so I pay 30,000 yuan a year, isn't this forcing the rooster to lay eggs?

But everyone here is Yang Fu's people. are forcing me Sun Dan and the emperor behind me to join their political reform, my Sun Dan only has one mouth, and they are all my superiors, what else can I do with them?

However, it also made it difficult for me.

Sun Dan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up. I thought: Anyway, the emperor only needs to ask for money, and I will find a way to get him money.

Since you can't get any silver by relying on the field. Why not start with something else. For example, commerce and handicrafts can be much more expensive than farming. Lu Jiaqian Zhuang didn't talk about him, because he had the shares of the emperor and Lu Bing and Huang Jin, so it was not easy to move. As for Jin Shang, it is also a usable network resource, and he has to find a way to lure that group of people over. No business is rich, and the commercial tax is much higher than the agricultural tax.

Sun Dan had a plan in his heart, so he calmed down. Laughed! "What is 20,000 taels, even if it is 25,000, Sun Dan can hold back. Shanzi comes

"Okay, it's 50,000 taels." Yang Shen nodded: "I'll just go home like this, my father suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, and felt a little sorry for Sun Dan, an old friend."

Sun Dan glanced at him calmly, with a frank face.

Yang Shen was even more reluctant in his heart: Sun Dan is a sincere gentleman, I am suspected of bullying honest people by doing this!

Sun Dan smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, are we talking about these early, after all, Sun Dan has not been lifted yet." What if Sun Dan Jinke falls off the list? .

Yang Shen and the others didn't speak, they all felt that Sun Dan was asking too much.

Lu Bing: "Anyway, it should be the time for the list, let's wait a moment to know." I don't know if the person who reported the good news has arrived, and I want to send someone to urge it. When the good news arrives, I will go back and pay my life to Your Majesty. ”

After the net finished speaking, suddenly he heard the sound of gongs and drums and a commotion outside.

A family member ran in excitedly, shouting as they ran: "Master, great joy, great joy!" Good news, good news

"Hey, Little Brother Sun is really hit." Lu Bing stood up abruptly and asked, "What's going on, how many places did you win?" ”

When the family saw a brocade guard in a flying fish suit standing up, they were scared and stuttered for a long time. Only then did he reply: "My lords, the person who announces the good news will go to the courtyard of my grandson's house first, and the lord and the lady are not there, so the villain will bring the person who announces the good news over." Because I was in a hurry, I didn't dare to ask how many I won.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go and have a look, and get some joy" Xiao Yang Shen also stood up.

Several adults walked out with Sun Dan. When I went to the courtyard outside, I saw a few officials blowing and beating with a big red good news and shouting for a reward: "Where is Master Sun, where is Master Sun?" ”

Sun Dan walked up and stuffed a key piece of silver into the hand of the servant: "I am Sun Xiaodan." ”

After getting Sun Dan's silver, the official smiled: "Congratulations to Sun Dan and Master Sun for the first place in Shuntianfu Township, ah, Lord Luo, you are also here?"

This official was already on an errand in Shuntian Mansion, and when he saw that Lord Yin was here, there were several intermediaries behind him. The four-rank high-ranking official was so frightened that his face changed, and he hurriedly returned the silver to Sun Dan.

Sun Dan smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, take it." ”

The official hesitated.

Lord Qi's eyes glared: "This silver is a gift from Mr. Sun, it is not illegal, you will accept it if you ask you to accept it." ”

Then the official carefully took the silver into his bosom and brought the good news.

Sun Dan opened it and looked at it, and only said softly: "Sure enough, it's Xie Yuan." He handed it to his family.

At this time, the whole Sun Mansion cheered: "The master is in the middle, the master is in the house, and the first name is Xie Yuan." ”

"Congratulations Jingyuan." Yang Shen stepped forward to congratulate.

Everyone also stepped forward: "Congratulations."

Honestly, what's going on. After Sun Dan expected it, his heart was calm at this moment, and he only politely replied: "A small person is not worth anything." ”

Everyone admires in their hearts, this Sun Jingyuan is really a celebrity and a gentleman, and he can still hold his breath when he encounters such a happy event.

Lu Bing said hesitantly: "I knew that Brother Sun could win, but I wouldn't be bad for begging for wine and food here, so I went to Your Majesty to reply first." ”

Yang Shen also said: "Jingyuan has been lifted, there must be a lot of entertainment, let's not bother here, let's leave first." ”

According to Shilin's rules, Sun Dan won the lift, and those who were lifted in the same period would definitely come to visit. Not only that, but I also have to go to worship the teacher, thank the teacher.

Although the chief examiner of this subject is the emperor, several sub-examiners such as Mao Cheng still need to go around.

Everyone here is a science field, how can you not know this? The doorways of the face also said goodbye and left. When everyone was sent away, a few people who were promoted in the same period came to visit.

Then, many of the capital's dilapidated households came to the door, and those who gave houses and land, and those who sold themselves for refuge couldn't make any more trouble.

Sun Dan could only cheer up

There is also a big happy event, Chen Rong also won the promotion, although the ranking is not high, but it can barely be regarded as a meritorious person.

Over there, Zhi Niang and Ting Lan were busy for a day, and finally settled everyone in the Sun Mansion.

By the time the three of them got together again, it was already midnight.

The three of them sat down at the table to eat.

Only then did Sun Dan realize that he had finally squeezed into the ranks of the ruling class, and he could mix in the system in the future.

He didn't think it mattered, anyway, he would have been mixed up in officialdom a long time ago.

As for Zhiniang, she was a typical virtuous mother. I don't pay much attention to things like fame, fortune, wealth and glory. As long as Sun Dan is happy, she is happy.

And Ting Lan was so excited that she couldn't help herself, took a few sips of wine, and suddenly laughed out loud: "The master finally raised his eyebrows this time." ”
