Chapter 149: Boiling
The question that Senso Tian Masakuni said is clear.
And envy. It is also a small treasury independently controlled by the local state and county health centers, which generally comes from the additional consumption of the remaining field endowments, and the additional consumption of some black-hearted state and county health centers can reach four or five buckets per stone. In addition, there are all kinds of stolen silver, commercial taxes, and Cheng Xianyin. There are also new ginseng of officials, salt leads, and the levy of the network agency, etc., which are also the source of envy.
The surviving and surplover expenditures are generally office expenses in various places, and are used for disaster relief, construction, water conservancy and other public utilities, and in the late Ming Dynasty, these expenses are generally used for the banquet of local officials. Gifts, or officials and generals to support their families with envy. There are also many places to make up for the regular amount of money and grain.
The first source of retention and envy is to collect taxes and grain from the military and civilian people, in order to retain more surplus and envy. In addition to regular taxes, there are also various common practices.
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has been exhibited to the present, and all the Weisuo prefectures and counties are the first to levy the common practice from the military and civilians. Fill the small treasury of the self-bow and then collect the positive tax. It doesn't matter if the amount of the regular tax is not collected, but it is common practice to collect it in your own pocket first. Layer by layer, from the upper officials to the officials below, and then to the lieutenant chiefs at all levels, etc. This is not the case.
Wang Dou will not levy taxes and grain next year, and the military households and ordinary people will get benefits, but this year, officials at all levels in the state and city will not have the opportunity to go up and down, and they are afraid that they will hate Wang Dou to the bone. As for how Wang Dou will deal with the share of taxable grain in the imperial court next year, many people may not take it into account, presumably they will think that Wang Dou intends to pass the customs in the form of arrears, and the tax and grain in Baozhou City are in arrears every year, and the annual payment is insufficient, and the officials have long been accustomed to it.
Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, Wang Dou will offend many people by doing this. Moreover, there are some military officials in the state city who are quietly living hard, counting on the grain of the guard to live a long time, and there will be no tax on grain next year, and how can some officials in the state city get the normal monthly rations?
Tian Changguo thought that Wang Dou was young and did not understand the unspoken rules in the officialdom, and he planned to take refuge in Wang Dou. So that he has a bright future, how can he want to see Wang Dou fall into the abyss from which he will never recover? So immediately make a reminder.
Yang Zhichang sneered in his heart when he heard it.
He said to Lin Daofu, the defender of Shunxiang Fort: "Lord Lin, from next year, our state city will start large-scale tuntian, and a large number of irrigation wells and waterwheels will be needed. You have to prepare the relevant tools to build. ”
Lin Daofu said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, as long as the money, food, and materials can keep up, the lower officials will handle everything properly." ”
Wang Dou smiled and said, "I don't doubt Lord Lin's ability. You ask the craftsman Li Maosen to come to the state city, and some craftsmen who can use it can just choose the past. He mused, "Not only that. In the future, Shunxiangbao will also open a gun factory, a gunpowder factory, a clothing factory, a wood factory, a lumber yard, and a stone factory. Coal washery. Iron works, even brick kilns, lime kilns and other workshops, you have to be prepared. ”
Wang Dou estimated that he would wait until the money and grain reserves were sufficient. I'm going to have a big military training myself. To train soldiers, a large number of iron, armor, and military uniforms are required. artillery and other materials, so the material reserves on weekdays cannot be relaxed. Regarding iron materials, according to the information of Zhuolu County in later generations. There are nearly 3 billion tons of iron ore reserves in Baoan Prefecture. However, most of the Di Jijia were in Taipingbao Township, Dahe Nanshan Town and other places in later generations. Wang Doujian's "easy-to-mine iron ore has been occupied by many powerful people.
This is not important, the important thing is that these places are far away from Shunxiang Fort, or far away from the state city, the location is also remote, it is not easy to mine, I already have high-quality hematite in Huiyaobao, and it is enough to use it for dozens or hundreds of years, there is no need to seize these minerals, just operate the iron mine in Huiyaobao.
Lin Daofu was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will not make any mistakes." ”
Listening to the Q&A between Wang Dou and Lin Daofu, Mr. Qian, Tian Changguo, and several people are all in a good place, Wang Dou wants to do so many things, where did he get this kind of strength? Yang Zhichang, the defensive officer of Wubao, was also undecided. From time to time, his gaze turned to Lin Daofu, and then to Wang Dou.
Wang Dou said: "These factories and workshops will be located near Beixiang Fort in the future, and the same is true for the iron factory. ”
Lin Daofu received the order loudly again. For days. There were a large number of chaotic grass dependents who went to the mansion to kowtow to Wang Dou and thank him.
Wang Dou came out to comfort them with warm words, saying that when he executed the rebels that day, he said that he would not harm his wife and daughter, as long as they were in peace in the future, and their mothers would still treat them as the people under his rule.
The families of the victims who were assigned to the fields also came in large numbers to kowtow to Wang Dou to thank him, and Wang Dou also comforted them with the same gentle words.
With this example in front of you, who else doesn't believe it? For a time, the military households in the state city went out in all directions, although the weather was very cold. It can't stop their enthusiasm for opening up wasteland, and there has been a lot of excitement inside and outside the state city for several days, and even many military households from the surrounding military forts and guards have secretly rushed to join the household registration of military households in Baoan Prefecture, just so that they can also share the land and pass on their families to live. There are even more displaced people who rushed in.
At the same time, Li Maosen came to Baozhou City, swept away more than 100 military craftsmen in Baoanzhou, brought them to Shunxiangbao City, and began to work hard, making waterwheels and other things.
Different from Baoan Zhou City, working in Shunxiang Fort, there are basic rations every month, how many waterwheels are built every time, and there are corresponding rewards, although the weather is cold, these Baozhou craftsmen are full of great enthusiasm for work, and they can be described as doing fast and good.
Only the officials of Baoan Prefecture City were in a complicated mood. Wang Dou is exempt from levying grain for military households next year, and the military households are cheering, but they will have a lot less opportunities to get up and down next year. And Wang Dou also promised to increase their monthly income, as long as they keep to themselves, they can support their families by working hard, and what should they choose?
Due to Wang Dou's opening up of wasteland and dividing land, the exemption from grain collection was only aimed at the military households in the state city, which made many households in the city emotionally unstable, and many people were already thinking about whether to join the military household registration, so that they could also divide the land and divide the land.
In response to this situation, on November 20, Li Zhenxuan, the governor of Baoan Prefecture, asked Lord Wang Dou, the ethics officer, to discuss the matter.
