Chapter 394: The Court Discussion Twists and Turns
Although Yang Zaixing didn't know how Gao Feng knew about himself, he didn't dwell on it, and stepped forward to meet Gao Feng and Wang Jie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Feng accepted the salute and said, "I'll introduce you to a few partners, I'm sure you'll like them." ”
After speaking, he waved back, and Wu Yang, Hu Bao, Feng Xiaolazy, and Mo Yu rushed over, and Gao Feng said, "You guys go to play alone, we won't accompany you." ”
Not to mention how the five of them got acquainted and how to play, but said that Gao Feng led Yang Bangyi to the desk and said: "Lord Yang, drink a bowl of water and wine to relieve fatigue, and then we will have a reception banquet when we go back, and then we will have another drink." ”
In this case, Yang Bangyi has to drink even if he doesn't drink a drop of wine, not to mention that he is really tired, and a sip of wine will definitely relieve it, so he took the bowl and dried it in one gulp.
"Lord Yang is happy." Gao Feng also made a bowl and said, "Please Lord Yang get in the car, let's go back to the city." ”
Where did Yang Bangyi dare to take a car, so he got on the horse and walked with Gao Feng.
Chatting and walking all the way, until they arrived at the county seat, they already knew each other, and the relationship between them was no longer sparse.
After a while, Gao Feng admired Yang Bangyi even more, and his talent was undoubtedly revealed, at least in his opinion, Wang Jie was incomparable.
returned to the county seat, settled Yang Bangyi's family, and picked up the wind for him in the Dong Family Restaurant, and the matter came to an end.
……
At the same time, a court meeting was going on in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and the content of the court meeting was an excerpt.
Zhao Ji of Song Huizong sat on the dragon chair and said to the civil and military officials: "Feng' County recently handed over an excerpt, describing the development strategy of one to three years, and declaring some special items to the imperial court. ”
As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Wei Boshu, the household servant, stepped forward and said: "The first article proposes the fiscal and taxation strategy of withdrawing, merging, reducing, reducing and reforming. In other words, the agricultural tax should be changed and abolished, the commercial tax should be merged, the workshop tax should be reduced, and the share of tax paid by the county government should be reduced......"
"This is absolutely unacceptable." Before Wei Bo finished speaking, someone came out to oppose it.
Everyone saw that it was Wang Huang. Wang Hao suffered a small loss in the last wine party incident, and was punished by Zhao Ji for three months.
Wei Boshu asked lightly: "Wang Zhongcheng, why not?" ”
Wang Hao said: "The tax policy is the foundation of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we lightly withdraw, merge, reduce, reduce, and reform? If the rest of the states follow suit, what will be done? ”
Wei Bo replied: "Since it is a pilot, and see if it is feasible or not, it will be done, and if it does not work, it will be canceled, and it has nothing to do with other counties, which is a bit sensational." ”
"That's not going to work either." "For example, if the agricultural tax is abolished, where will the grain come from, and how can the country continue? Also, reducing the share of tax paid by the county government, what is the use of taking so many shares in one county? ”
What Wang Hao said is actually the reality of the Great Song Dynasty, the agricultural tax is still the majority, and without the agricultural tax, the imperial court will almost drink the northwest wind.
In addition, the taxes collected by the local governments, except for a small amount of retained administrative expenses, are basically handed over to the imperial court in their original amounts, and the imperial court will uniformly dispatch them, and the idea of taking more shares will not work at all.
Wei Bo replied with a smile: "Wang Zhongcheng is extremely worried, but do you know how much tax he can pay in a small county after these strategies are implemented?" ”
"It depends on how much he has set aside." Wang Hao said.
Wei Boshu replied: "Fifty percent share." ”
"According to the practice of previous years, the county handed over 300,000 yuan to the imperial court the year before last, and last year when the salt mine was discovered, the income increased, and it was only 500,000 yuan. Wang Hao preached. [Note: Consistent with the same thing.] 】
Wei Bo smiled and responded: "The discount application is 50% this year, and the estimated amount to be handed over is 1 million, 30% next year, the amount to be handed over is 2 million, and the year after next year it will be handed over according to the requirements of the imperial court, which is 5 million." ”
"Shh Wang Hao gasped, he could still pay 1 million taels if he left 50%, wouldn't it mean that the annual income of a county could reach 2 million? That's a quadruple, is that great? Also, after three years, you can hand over five million yuan, what kind of concept is that, it has increased tenfold compared to last year, it is simply appalling, if all the county governments are like this, the money of the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to spend it all.
Wang Hao's mind turned and said: "That's not okay, what's the use of reserving one million yuan in a county town?" ”
"The purpose has been explained." Wei Boshu preached, "First, the administrative expenses are 100,000 yuan; Second, support agricultural development and provide credit to help the people; Third, develop and manage the banks of the Dasha River, cultivate forests and fix 200,000 sands; Fourth, the construction of county-owned salt industry, fertilizer, iron utensils, textile and other workshops each 100,000 yuan, 5. to clean up the two rivers of the Dasha River and the Fuxin River in the territory, 50 miles long, and dig up the waterways of the two rivers and the Bianhe River, 30 miles long, a total of 1.1 million yuan, 60,000 ......"
"Wait." Before Wei Boshu finished speaking, Wang Hao interrupted again, "In this way, two million taels can't solve the problem, how can he keep only one million yuan?" ”
"That's why he's going to do it over two years." "Before that, bonds will be issued to all walks of life in the name of the county government for a period of one year in order to deal with emergencies, and the proceeds will be used to do the above things. ”
Originally, I wanted to ask why he could earn 5 million taels in three years, but this year he could only earn 200 yuan, but after thinking about it, Wang Hao still stopped, because he had already seen that the uses of those items were not simple, and if they were all realized, there would be no problem with doubling his income.
Wang Hao did not speak, but others came forward to ask for details, such as how the agricultural tax would be abolished and revised, how the grain would be guaranteed without this tax, why the salt industry would establish a workshop, how to issue bonds, and so on.
Wei Boshu answered one by one according to the method and reason mentioned in the fold. For example, if the government has money in its hands and is short of grain, it can directly buy from the peasants, which can not only increase the enthusiasm of the peasants to grow grain, but also reduce the burden on the peasants. And so on, the reasons are sufficient, the measures are appropriate, there is no doubt, and the matter is over.
Wei Boshu continued: "The second article is actually mentioned in the first article, the county is ready to dig up the Dasha River, the Fuxin River and the Bianhe River, and ask the imperial court for approval. ”
Without waiting for others to ask, Wei Boshu explained: "Feng 'county north and south each two rivers, both to the east into the Hongze Lake area, its connection is in the outside of the county, there is no convergence point on the west side of the county, in order to form a water network in the territory, in the west of the county to open a canal connection, in this way, the two rivers will meet in the county, convenient for the county's river transportation, in addition, the Dasha River and the Bianhe River parallel, the nearest gathering is only twenty or thirty miles, if the canal can be connected, the two rivers in the territory can enter the Bianhe, so will greatly promote the trade of goods." ”
This gesture seems not small, but it is feasible, even if it costs more than one million, if the river in the county can be connected into a piece, and the Bianhe River is outside, it is also a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. It is clear that this move will not only connect Feng' County, but also several counties in the lower reaches of the Fuxin River and Dasha River, as they can also enter the Bianhe River by water.
The Bianhe River runs straight to the north and south, is an important traffic waterway, and is also a major artery of the Great Song Dynasty, if you add this branch, its significance is self-evident.
