Chapter 45: The Voice of Benevolence Has Gone to the Spring Breeze (Part II)
[Something will happen later, and the next one will be later]
After visiting Wang Qi and Su Song, Han Gang, who had nothing to do, became very idle.
In fact, calculate the time, and when I get to the point in time, I will report to the Herd Division, and it will be seven or eight days away from the annual leave of the major yamen locks in Beijing.
It's all in the wax moon, and Han Gang doesn't want to go out to visit friends for the time being. There were enough people who came to the door, and there were more people who wanted him to go back to study and have a baby, and looking at the thick stack of short notes, his teeth hurt.
He took people with him and walked around in his new home. And Hu Cao of Kaifeng Mansion joined the army Huan Xiuren just came to handle the handover, so while introducing Han Gang, they walked around the former Gaoping Marquis Mansion covering an area of more than ten acres.
Bypassing the lime-mottled wall, the main hall that appears in front of you is nearly three zhang high, with eight bays on the left and right, and the six huge pillars in the front hall are the thickness of one person, and although the painting between the beams and columns is also mottled and falling off, it must be from the hands of a famous artist only from the remaining patterns. If you are not a member of the clan, it is difficult to have such a scale.
"Gaoping Marquis Mansion originated from King Kanghui of Qin, built in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo, burned in the second year of Tiansheng, and rebuilt in four years. After the reconstruction, before and after the eleven wings, one hundred and six rooms, fourteen and a half rooms, twenty-one contains, Xiamen seventeen, one hundred and twenty-nine, four four, twenty-two, turtle. The head is fifteen in total. Although it is not as good as Xianyifang and Changle Fang, it is also a large mansion in the front of the capital, and among the official properties of Kaifeng Mansion, there are only thirty-one such mansions, which are only smaller than the houses of the deacons. As for the larger mansion, it is not official property, but imperial property. ”
Huan Xiuren has a lot of treasures for the numbers he manages, and a burst of surprise flashed in Han Gang's eyes, he served as the Kaifeng Mansion Boundary Mention Point back then, and this one has not been transferred to the post, and none of the subordinates in the Kaifeng Mansion he has come into contact with have his level.
Stepping through the middle gate and entering the inner courtyard, it was transformed in an instant. The left and right compartments are indented inward, making the main courtyard of the inner courtyard appear very narrow.
Huan Xiuren said to Han Gang: "Originally, there were not so many rooms in the house, and even after the reconstruction, there were only eighty-one. However, during the reign of Huangyou, the Gaoping Marquis Mansion was divided, and even the entire house was divided, and the east and west courtyards and the back garden were divided into various rooms to live in, so they were additionally increased until the current scale. ”
I see. Han Gang looked at the buildings in the courtyard, "No wonder the old and the new are different. ”
The Gaoping Hou family has a big business, and the population is more after the separation, but the population of the Han family does not need so many houses. Unless the Zhuangzi of Gongzhou can be moved together, half of the houses will be empty.
At the entrance of the back garden, there is a small courtyard, which should be the old master's idle residence, the house is made of exquisite materials, and it is even a few points stronger than the main hall, and a plaque of the retreat hall is hung, which is also the reason for Han Gang's speculation.
Han Gang likes this name very much, from Zuo Chuan, 'Father Lin's affairs are also gentle, he is loyal to his thoughts, he is making up for his mistakes, and he is also the guard of Sheji', and the payment is still Cai Xiang. After a thousand years, it was a treasure that made people break their heads, so they were taken down and sent to be re-painted and golden.
Huan Xiuren made fun of it and said: "Back then, Cai Junmo was famous in Beijing for books and tea, and his ink treasures could be seen in many places inside and outside Kaifeng. ”
And a small building and a single courtyard located in the back garden, named Xiaoqiong Building and Listening to the Rain Pavilion respectively, this is a bit vulgar. Han Gang looked at it, but he had the intention to pick it up and use it as chopping wood.
In the back garden, pit after crater is like the surface of the moon. If the people of the time could have a high-magnification telescope, they should be able to have the same feelings as Han Gang. But there is one thing that makes Han Gang very strange, I don't know what to do, the microscope is available, but the telescope has not appeared until now, I don't know if someone invented it and hid it, or this layer of window paper is too tight. But Han Gang didn't plan to stab it, it should be sooner or later.
"The flowers and trees of the Gaoping Hou family are very famous, but dozens of famous flowers and trees were dug up when they moved." Huan Xiuren explained to Han Gang, who was flying out of the sky.
Han Gang lowered his head, and a deep pit the size of a zhang was in front of him, and there was half a pit of water in it. Look up at Huan Xiuren, what kind of flowers and trees is this? Centennial trees?
Huan Xiuren thought for a long time before he said, "It should be for the cellar gold." It may be that it was buried in the past when the Hou Pinghou Mansion had money, and it had to be dug up again when it moved. ”
I was not sure what I said, and Han Gang didn't take it to heart. After looking at the dilapidated back garden of the former Gaoping Marquis Mansion, he shook his head and smiled, not only the problem of the back garden.
The Han family's new house has been uninhabited for less than a year, and after all the weeds and trees are cleared, it seems that it can barely live in it. However, in many places, there are even turtles protruding from the courtyard in the atrium of the main house. Head-A long time ago, Han Gang laughed at this name, and in the future generations it should be called Baoxia's small room-even the dust on the ceiling was soaked.
Han Gang and Huan Xiuren went around from front to back, and it took nearly an hour to find a lot of problems.
In Han Gang's opinion, the entire mansion should be renovated inside and out, otherwise there may be a time when a gust of wind blows and a few rooms can be blown down. However, this house is official property, and if it needs to be renovated, the landlord should come.
Han Gang didn't expect Kaifeng Mansion to help him repair the entire house, but he finally replaced the rotten wood, which was also the responsibility of the landlord.
It's a pity that Huan Xiuren shook his head: "Long Tu, the truth is so, but to be honest, I'm not afraid that Long Tu will make you angry, except for tung oil, green tiles and tiles, there are no other materials in the house to provide." And all three. But in fact, it still costs money to buy, and the government will not be responsible for this money. According to the practice of the house, as long as there are people to live in, even if the rafters are rotten, they will not take the initiative to renovate. ”
Han Gang was surprised: "I remember that when I lived in the capital in the past, I also rented official property, why haven't I heard of this?" ”
"Longtu, all of them are new houses, and they have only been built for less than ten years, where is this fifty-year-old house compared?" Huan Xiuren said bitterly: "Although Xiaguan has not been transferred to Gyeonggi at that time, Long Tu can get a house there, speaking of which, Long Tu already has a great reputation at that time, so Yazhong does not dare to bully each other." ”
Han Gang didn't intend to embarrass people when he heard it. After the handover was done, people sent Huan Xiuren out, and then a visitor came, who turned out to be Tong Guan.
"Long Tu, the Son of Heaven is summoned in the Chongzheng Palace, please enter the palace immediately."
Han Gang received the commandment, but his heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out why the Son of Heaven was in such a hurry and let him go to the Chongzheng Palace. He had just made up his mind not to bother with the political affairs of the court and to be a qualified bystander. Unexpectedly, turning his face, the Son of Heaven asked him to go to the Chongzheng Palace, it should not be a real position, but there must be something to consult him.
But there is no envoy who is not good at observing words and feelings, Tong Guan didn't know that this was a good opportunity to form a deep relationship with Han Gang, and said in a low voice: "It's a matter of track." The Fangcheng track has achieved remarkable results, and the officials are happy in their hearts. ”
Han Gang had a bottom in his heart, changed into a clean official uniform, went out, and went to the palace with Tong Guan.
In the Chongzheng Palace, except for Lu Gongshu and Zhang Dun, who are being impeached by the imperial history, the Zai Fu are now there. In Zhao Ji's eyes, there was no coldness from the previous day.
After Han Gang saluted, Zhao Ji said in a loud voice: "Does Han Qing know how much the freight fee charged by the Fangcheng Rail in Lu Dao this month is?" ”
Of course, Han Gang knew about it, but it was inconvenient to say, "Please also ask Your Majesty to show it." ”
I saw Zhao Ji's eyes glowing with excitement: "The income is more than 24,100 guan, excluding labor, livestock food, and repair losses, the net income is a full 20,000 guan!" This is all Han Qing's power! ”
For just 20,000 yuan, as for it?
Absolutely.
Because Zhao Ji saw that it was not just a Fangcheng Mountain.
If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Zhao Ji has been an emperor for many years, and he has long known the importance of money. After years of edification by Wang Anshi, Zhao Ji doesn't care about talking about income, financial planning and other topics in front of Confucian ministers, and is not afraid of losing face.
He used eight four-character poems in the Gyeongbok Hall Library as the name of the sub-library, 'Five seasons lost the country, and the Xuan Xuan Kong was blazing. The art ancestor made the state, and the thought was punished. The inner government was set up to recruit soldiers. Great-grandson Baozhi, dare to forget the will of the Turks', as a pounce to accumulate military expenses, one more money, one point closer to victory.
Lu Huiqing interface: "The Fangcheng track was transferred to civilian use after the end of the program. It's only been a month, and it's been a net income of 20,000, and it's just opened, so it's not famous. By next year, when there are 300,000 to 400,000 guan, 500,000 kan is also possible. ”
Last year, the nation's commercial tax revenue was only 10 million yuan, of which the Tokyo Metropolitan Commercial Tax Institute was 400,000 yuan, and it is expected that next year's revenue will not increase much compared with last year, and the mere square city track can basically be the same as the commercial tax of a city in Tokyo, equivalent to one-twentieth to one-twenty-fifth of the world's commercial tax revenue.
"And the track in Fangcheng Mountain is only sixty miles away!" Zhao Ji added excitedly.
"Your Majesty." Han Gang couldn't stand it anymore, and poured cold water, "It's the end of the year, and there are many traveling merchants, which is a special case of the year. If you want to calculate the annual income, you should not rely on it. ”
Han Qing didn't know that Fangcheng rail passenger revenue was not much, but freight revenue was very large. When it comes to the beginning of spring next year, it will only earn more than the winter month. Zhao Ji spoke in a tone like a second-class dealer, promoting the goods in his hands.
Lu Huiqing said: "With channels, only 2 percent of the tax can be collected, and Shannan and Shanbei can only collect 4 percent once. However, by using the track, not only can you collect taxes, but also collect freight. At the same time, in the process of transferring ships to rail-drawn carriages, tax inspection can also become very convenient, and there is no fear of being concealed by others. ”
"Although the freight is collected a little more, and there is no entrainment, but overall, it is still more expensive than the section from Yangzhou to the Bianhe River." Yuan Jiang also followed, "Actually, it's enough to be able to do this." ”
It's a classic win-win.
