"Salt and Iron Franchise...... Where does the income go to? Dasi Nong? Shaofu? ”

"Salt and iron belong to the government, and the iron smelting division and the salt making department also belong to the Dasi Nong, so the income naturally belongs to the Dasi Nong. However, salt and iron came from the mountains, forests, and ponds, so the big sinong also had to pay taxes to the Shaofu. ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although China has believed since ancient times that "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister", the country's income is not equal to the emperor's income.

The income of the state cannot be used by any emperor, and the emperor also has his own income.

Take the Han Dynasty as an example, the tax of the acres of land belonged to the Dasi Nong, that is, the public funds.

The taxes of mountains, forests and ponds, such as hunting, iron smelting, salt making, etc., must be taxed, which are also known as garden income, and belong to Shaofu, that is, the private property of the Son of Heaven.

Generally speaking, if the Son of Heaven uses the money of the Shaofu to subsidize the state, this is okay, it is better to say that the civil and military officials are strongly supportive, but if the Son of Heaven dares to use the state's money to subsidize himself, it will definitely be sprayed with blood.

But Shaofu's money should not be too much, if the money of the salt and iron official camp becomes the emperor's private property, then wouldn't the emperor be overturned? The emperor has much more private money than the treasury, so what's the deal?

So even if Xun Yu is Shaofu, he can't help but be a little worried about this matter. Hearing Chu Yi say this, the income belongs to Dasi Nong, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Chu Yi couldn't help but cover his face and said, "...... Anyway, what's the use of talking about this now? Obviously, even Dasi Nong hasn't decided yet! ”

Now is a special period, and Qingzhou has been spending money, so the finances have not been separated. Basically, it is in charge of the Qingzhou Thorn History Mansion. Later, Xun Yu was appointed as the Shaofu, and public and private revenues were separated.

Liu Xie lived a simple life and did not spend much, but there were more than 10,000 orphans in the garden, which was a big expense.

However, the Mi family in Xuzhou and some of the more shrewd and powerful businessmen donated money and food to Liu Xiejin from time to time, and the money donated belonged to Liu Xie's private income, so it was barely enough to support those children.

Chu Yi thought for a while and said, "What's going on over there in Han Ji, has the water drain come out?" ”

Xun Yu sighed: "It's almost finished, I heard him say that the efficiency of the water row is at least three times that of the horse row and the human row." That's amazing! ”

More than 100 years ago, Nanyang Taishou Du Shi invented the water drain, that is, the hydraulic blower, which saved a lot of manpower and material resources, and greatly improved the efficiency of iron smelting. Although the level of industry in ancient China was second to none, the imperial court did not pay much attention to it. Therefore, the water drain is only used in the Nanyang area, and Han Ji is a native of Nanyang.

Speaking of which, from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, Nanyang has always been the most developed place in the country for iron smelting technology.

Later generations even unearthed eight iron farming tools from the Eastern Han Dynasty in Nanyang, seven of which were malleable cast iron! You must know that malleable cast iron in the modern sense appeared after the eighteenth century, and China has already made malleable cast iron as early as the Warring States Period!

There were many strange black technologies in ancient China, but it is a pity that many inheritances have died in troubled times. This "malleable cast iron" is only one of them, but the plasticity of malleable cast iron is too good, but the strength is not enough, and it is not suitable for weapons, but it can be used as agricultural tools.

"Salt must be strictly controlled, but iron smelting will eventually have to be compromised, and the smelting and sales of iron cannot be kept under the control of the imperial court, which is not conducive to the development of iron smelting technology.

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "Speaking of Yuan Shu, how is she now?" I'm afraid I can't wait to start a war with Liu Biao......"

"Well, the information from the white-clothed guard is that Sun Jian went to Nanyang alone, and in order to recruit Liu Biao's commander, I am afraid that he will start fighting."

Xun Yu smiled inexplicably: "Hehe, Sun Wentai is really bold." ”

"Forget it, he is now the most supportive of His Majesty's Yizhou Assassin History, as for his crossing the border, let's turn a blind eye. It's just that although Liu Jingsheng is a dog defending the city, he is also a hero, although Sun Wentai is brave and good at fighting, but it is just too easy to break, I'm afraid it will ...... Let Liu Xuande prepare for it in the next few days. ”

Xun Yu was shocked: "You want to say that Sun Jian will die at the hands of Liu Biao?" ”

"Eh, I didn't say that! Don't frame me! Chu Yi looked at the sky and made sure that he was fine, Fang said leisurely, "It's just that everything has to be prepared with both hands, if, I mean, if something happens to Sun Jian, our side can also immediately send someone to take over Yuzhou." ”

Xun Yu smiled: "How do I feel that you wish Sun Jian had an accident." ”

Chu Yi glared: "Am I like that?" ”

Before he came to Qingzhou, he had already asked Yang Xiu to remind Sun Jian, although the price was two years of life, Chu Yi felt that it was still worth it. Of course, if Sun Jian still died, then Chu Yi would have no choice but to immediately let Liu Bei lead his troops to take over, in short, it would never be possible to give Yuzhou to others.

Xun Yu shook his head lightly: "But in this way, the matter of taking Jizhou has to be slowed down first, the Baibo army is crisscrossing Yanzhou, and the Black Mountain army is infested in Jizhou...... It's a big help. ”

"Wait, if Sun Jian can successfully capture Xiangyang, then after the grain harvest in June, we can start preparing for the Northern Expedition...... I hope that at that time, Jizhou is still in the hands of Han Fu. Of course, if Sun Jian has an accident, then he can only stabilize Yuzhou first...... Hum. ”

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yi couldn't help but show a hint of smugness: "Let me tell you, I have sent someone to Yecheng a few days ago and handed Han Fu a letter, telling him that Yuan Benchu wanted to take away his position as Jizhou pastor, he was originally afraid of Yuan Benchu, and now he can't eat dog!" ”

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and frowned slightly, "Yuan Benchu can also say that this is a counter-plot made by you, maybe Han Fu will trust him more." And even if Han Fu really suspected Yuan Shao, then this forced Yuan Shao to do it in advance. What's more, most of Han Fu's surroundings have been bought by Yuan Benchu now......"

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he scratched his face: "...... Well, I was impulsive. ”

Xun Yu smiled gently and patted Chu Yi's shoulder gently: "It's okay, Zizhang, you're just not good at these tricks." You're still young, and it's normal for you to make some mistakes. And in this way, it is more convenient for Youruo to act. ”

"Hmm." Chu Yi was a little ashamed, thinking that with the vision and experience of later generations, he would be able to act unstoppable, but he was still reckless.

Xun Yu said in his heart that Chu Yi was a young man who became famous, and his heart was inevitably arrogant. Now that he has made a mistake, he must feel uncomfortable in his heart, so he changed the topic and said: "Speaking of military planning, Gongda is not inferior to me, but I don't know when he will be able to escape from Chang'an." ”

This is also Xun Yu's heart, although there are Liu Bei, Ying Shao, Hua Xin and others in Qingzhou, but the talent reserve is still not enough! Yang Xiu, Cui Yan, Mao Jue, and Gu Yong are still too young!

In fact, if all the big doctors and long orders in the Tai Academy are released, this pressure will be relieved immediately. However, Chu Yi stipulated that those with a doctorate or above in Tai College, except for doctors like Chu Yi and Zhao Yun, who were "substitute teachers", others could only teach and educate people, and were not allowed to go out as officials.

Although Xun Yu can understand that Chu Yi is doing this to curb a large number of factions among scholars, he still has to say that people hate less when they are used.

Chu Yi thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Well, then send a recruitment order, it just so happens that I am also short of people!" ”
