Outside the house, the officials ran back and forth, but the dust under their feet was not shocked.

When the Zaifu gathered together and passed in front of the door, the officials didn't even dare to breathe.

But some of them are afraid of disturbing the house, and some of them are worried that they are panting and can't hear the arguments inside, which is really uncertain.

Kumamoto was sure that there were at least twenty pairs of ears standing up towards the hall.

Turning his attention from the outside of the house back to the house, Kumamoto saw Deng Runfu pointing to the piece of paper and questioning Han Gang at the top place, "Dare to ask Xianggong, what is a child?" “

The so-called children, if only as the name suggests, are elementary school students. This is something that anyone can understand. But if you are grouped with Jinshi, it will definitely be different. It's like Xiucai, who is usually called a scholar, and now it is also written in the same place as Jinshi, and no one will still think that it is an ordinary title.

"When you graduate from school, you are a child."

When the Queen Mother left Han Gang, Kumamoto knew what they would do.

If you want the Queen Mother to continue to hang the curtain, the first thing is to buy people's hearts. If Hangang doesn't say it, after tonight, Kumamoto will also go to the book. Before, I asked the Queen Mother to continue to hang the curtain in the palace, which was a bit of a force, but since I got on the thief ship, I couldn't jump down, so I could only follow the thief.

If there is any countermeasure, it must be promulgated as much as possible, at least it must be publicized as much as possible, otherwise, today's words in the small hall of the inner east gate will spread, and the Zaifu will inevitably be criticized. Despite the good reason, most of the courtiers would still side with them, but wouldn't the less infamy they carried, the better.

However, this set of children's children's things, showing talents, lifting people, and jinshi, Xiong Ben really didn't expect it beforehand.

In the past, according to the number of Tongguò, the organizers of Mengxue, as well as the local magistrates, teachers and higher-level academic and political capitals were punished and rewarded accordingly. The students who graduated from Mengxue did not pay much attention to it in the past, but only hoped to reduce the number of illiteracy - Han Gang Chuang's word can be described as "sophisticated" - to realize the dream of having education without class.

But now it seems that Han Gang has been planning for a long time to further buy people's hearts.

"What's the benefit of being a child?"

What Xiong instinctively thought of, Deng Runfu couldn't have imagined.

"The benefits? Naturally, it is a Ding tax. ”

"Exempt?!"

"There are a lot of students in Mongolia."

Deng Runfu and Zeng Xiaokuan said successively.

The two didn't object, but wanted to know how Han Gang would solve it.

Han Gang said: "The increase in commercial tax is enough to cover the per capita tax. ”

Let's not talk about the number of readers, the number of Ding taxes is not much, and most of them are the changes attached to the Ding tax.

The tax itself is generally between two or three hundred wen, some places as little as 100 wen, but some places as much as four or five hundred, in the early years of the founding of the country, there was even a situation of 700 wen. If it is to receive grain, it is three or five buckets, and it has reached one stone in many cases.

If it is in Beijing, four or five hundred wen will be at most half a month's income from hard work. In poor places, the amount of tax is generally not high. The examples of 700 Wen and 1 stone rice are basically from the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the tax amount of Wuyue and Southern Tang will be so high.

The most important thing is that the imperial court often exempts a certain place from the ding tax. Because of natural disasters and wars, the tax will be reduced or reduced. Compared with the summer and autumn taxes, the number of Ding taxes is not much, and the reduction of a part of it will not affect the financial revenue of the imperial court too much.

"From now on, I'm afraid everyone will have to let their sons go to school." Deng Runfu sighed.

When the children of the family go to study, they can get the qualification of children as long as they pass the examination organized by Guò County. There is no limit to the number of places, and it is enough to meet the criteria. As long as it takes three years, let a seven- or eight-year-old child go to school for three years, so simple can be exempted from the Ding tax for the next few decades, how many people can't calculate this account?

Han Gang bowed his head in Yiran, but Zeng Xiaokuan sighed again, "In the future, there will be many cheaters, and they can't be stopped." ”

"There is a school administration, let the school government take care of it." Han Gang said irresponsibly.

How to put an end to cheating, and how to find out after cheating, the way is what people think, the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high.

"As time goes by, I'm afraid that the tax will never be collected again."

"There is no basis for the Ding tax." Zhang Dian said suddenly, "The tax system of this dynasty inherits the two taxes of the Tang Dynasty, and the two tax laws are originally to classify the old system of rent and Yong into the two taxes of summer and autumn, and the body money is also included in it. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were frequent wars in the world, and for the sake of military funds, all parts of the country reinstated the body money, especially in the south. After the founding of this dynasty, due to inheritance, the old system was not restored. ”

"What about free money?" Kumamoto asked.

This is a tax to be paid for the exemption of husband servitude, and it is also a kind of poll tax, and the amount is quite large, not less than the Ding tax.

"If you are a showman, you can be exempted, and after you become a showman, you can travel the world and learn without the need for a road guide issued by the local government."

Is it convenient to do business? Kumamoto shook his head secretly. Han Gang seems to want to achieve the best of both worlds, on the one hand, to buy people's hearts, and on the other hand, to open his eyes for qi and make a good calculation.

"Xiucai's qualification is to graduate from elementary school?" Zeng Xiaokuan asked.

"Of course."

"What about lifting people? Solution? "But if you pass the exam, you can raise people, so can you go to Beijing to take the exam in the future?"

Han Gang said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager and Brother Zihou have asked Han Gang so, so Wen Bo doesn't have to worry." ”

Deng Runfu shook his head, "What are Runfu worried about, if you have the qualifications to lift people, you can go to Beijing to catch the exam, and the ones who benefit the most are Fujian and Jiangxi." ”

The local solution in the Song Dynasty was different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, it was in the pass guò solution, but he did not pass the Jinshi test, and he had to start with the solution next time.

Fujian and Jiangxi have a prosperous literary style, I don't know how many scholars who fail to be on the list and then go back and take the exam again, if it weren't for the annual quota of Fujian and Jiangxi states controlled by the imperial court, maybe one-third of the Jinshi quota could be given to them. At present, on average, there is at least one-tenth of the number of jinshi in each subject.

If Han Gang let those scholars who have passed the test once, and they don't have to go through the test again, then the scholars in the south, especially Fujian and Jiangxi, will be able to occupy half of the court.

Of course Han Gang wouldn't do that.

"If you want to catch the exam, of course, you still follow the old system, and you can only go to Beijing to take the Ministry of Rites exam if you have the qualifications to be released. But after passing the exam once, it is to lift people. ”

"What about the benefits of lifting people?" Deng Runfu naturally inferred, "It won't be exempted from land levy, right?" ”

"The field tax is not exempt, if there is a workshop at home, the workshop tax can be halved."

"Xianggong is going to encourage the world to start a workshop?"

Han Gang said: "One acre of land can't be raised by one person, but a workshop with an area of one acre is no problem to raise more than a dozen people." Those who have constant production have perseverance and can be fed and clothed, so they will not follow others to rebel. ”

"Xianggong is intended for all subjects, right?" Kumamoto was blunt.

Han Gang nodded confidently, "Of course, Zhuke Gongsheng will have the same power. ”

In addition to the Jinshi department, there are also examinations in the Ming Law, Ming Calculation, and Ming Engineering Subjects. How could Han Gang forget his basic plate?

"Xianggong's plan should be more than that, right?"

There are not many people who can afford to set up a workshop. The benefit of this tax discount alone will not attract everyone.

"There are also three hectares of land on the border, as long as you are willing to go to the border, you will be a landlord."

Zeng Xiaokuan shook his head, "I'm afraid not many people are willing to go." ”

"Vouchers will be issued directly and allowed to be transferred."

The fact that the land grant voucher becomes a negotiable security can be regarded as a benefit of becoming a lifter. Give money, give treatment, as for the right to participate in politics, it is up to them to fight for it.

"Will anyone buy it?"

Even Kumamoto felt a little unreliable.

"It's a lot of money."

Han Gang didn't mean to explain too much to his colleagues, just let the facts tell them.

In addition, people can also be officials, and local affairs must not be manipulated by officials. Since the officials also have a salary, in fact, there is not much difference between the officials. The six Caos in the county can be let people do it. Although there is no grade and does not enter the stream, there is still an opportunity to accumulate labor and enter the stream. is also a scholar, so there is no need to restrain Xu officials, only a few dozen people are released into the official position a year. ”

"I'm afraid that no one is willing to do cheap labor."

"As long as there is good, sooner or later someone will be willing to do it. Start with one place and roll it out slowly. ”

The difference between the people and the tributes of the present day is that the status is fixed. Even if you don't do anything after passing the exam, you still lift people. However, the tribute is a one-time thing, unless it is five or six times in a row, then it can be a tribute that is exempted. But in politics, there is no difference in treatment from other scholars.

There are many things that can be done, whether it is to open a factory, or to open a wasteland, or to participate in the official work, it is all encouraged by the government.

In particular, the number of people in the imperial examination will still be higher than that of the Jinshi imperial examination in the future, and when the people of the Jinshi branch are poor, they will also have the opportunity to control the local affairs. If the place is stable, then the court will also react.

"And what about the children of the eunuchs?" Zeng Xiaokuan asked with concern.

According to the convention, the children of the official eunuchs or the officials themselves must arrange another release test, which is called the other head test and the hall lock test. Nominally, it was to prevent them from competing with the Hanmen, but in fact the proportion of the students who took the test was much higher than that held by the local state and county, which was outright preferential treatment.

"Naturally, it's the same as always. The lock hall of the lock hall, the other head of the head. ”

This is to show favor to the world's scholars, and at the same time will not infringe on the rights and interests of the children of the eunuchs, if you want to go to the Jinshi, you still have to pass the examination of the department, and the preferential treatment of the children of the official eunuchs in the examination can still be maintained, and at the same time, the identity of a person is easier to obtain than others.

Kumamoto sighed in his heart.

As the old saying goes, if the small favor has not arrived, the people will follow. Now Han Gang wants to benefit the world and the people...... Never?

Kumamoto didn't know, but he knew that Lu Huiqing was determined to lose this time.

It seems that there is no bet on the wrong banker.
