Winter goes to spring, Jingyou four years, 1o37 A.D. passed quietly in Zhao Lei's calm waiting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo//。 qb5/

Just after the fourth year of Jingyou, the imperial court issued an edict, and the Great Song Dynasty changed the year name to the first year of Baoyuan, and this year happened to be the year when Zhao Lei knew the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Just after the end of the year, when the wild grass in the field outcropped, Hangzhou transshipment made the yamen change began to be busy, the Great Song Dynasty inherited the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty, most of the taxes were levied in the summer and autumn, and the taxes collected were concentrated in the transshipment of the yamen, which was generally transported to Bianjing in early spring.

There are four main types of tax revenue in the Great Song Dynasty, namely the civil land tax, the official land tax, the body tax and the miscellaneous tax.

The land tax is a tax collected from the landlord, and the ratio of one tax is one ten, and one stone of grain per mu of land needs to pay a bucket of land tax, while the tax on official land is a tax collected from the people who rent and cultivate official land, both of which are taxes.

The body tax is a tax that all men over 20 years old and under 60 years old must pay in the Song Dynasty, and the former complicated tax items and miscellaneous taxes have now been reformed into two tax laws, these two kinds of taxes do not collect grain, only silver money and silk.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty envoy Yamen also had a privilege, that is, to collect the Northern Song Dynasty embryonic commercial tax, the name of this tax is called Jingzhi Qian.

The so-called economic money, that is, in addition to the city gate tax and market tax in the Northern Song Dynasty, each time the transaction is 770 mo, that is, one or two pieces of silver, you need to pay a tax of 30 mo, and the economic money plus the city gate tax and market tax, you have to pay almost 10% of the local tax. It is not much different from the tax per acre.

……

Zhao Lei was closing his eyes in the study, and behind him, his concubine Xiaocui was gently helping him massage the sun.

"Why did the officials work so hard to deal with the government affairs of the Yamen during this time! Don't officials like those who manage the tax accounts? Xiaocui looked at Zhao Lei, who frowned slightly, and said softly in distress.

"If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are! When I arrived at the transfer envoy Yamen, I realized how cumbersome the tax system of the Great Song Dynasty was, and it was no wonder that a small two-way transfer envoy Yamen needed to be equipped with more than a dozen arithmetic masters. The tax accounts of the two Zhejiang provinces are piled up in the whole room, and I am dizzy to see the tax catalogue of all sizes, not to mention the specific tax amount and tax list, there are nearly 10 million people in the entire Liangzhejiang Road, and these people need to pay taxes as much as three million, and these people need to pay taxes as much as three million, and these people as long as they pay taxes, they need to record the tax amount and name in the accounts, think about the accounts involving three million people, and the more than a dozen masters of the Yamen are checking the accounts every day, so they are still busy! It is no wonder that the transfer made the officials of the yamen relaxed. I don't know if Lu Yijian will be stupid enough to check the accounts in person, anyway, I won't be stupid enough to check the accounts of those three million people, I will be dizzy when I see just a general ledger! Zhao Lei thought that the nearby arithmetic masters were struggling to check the accounts, and his head hurt again, and he complained to Xiaocui.

"The transfer of the Yamen is really not a good place! Listen to Sister Xinlan. The two transfer envoys who took office added a little tax because they wanted to make a little political achievement, but they were given a copy by Taiwanese officials, and finally they were demoted to county orders. As a result, the officials of the Third Division were not satisfied, and they were also demoted to the bottom, which is simply a place to raise idlers. There can be no change in the slightest, and the tax cannot be more or less, the golden mean! Xiao Cui complained very dissatisfied with his man Zhao Lei being demoted to the two Zhejiang transfer envoys.

"All right, little darling! Isn't Hangzhou very good! Over the years, in Bianjing, it is not a sword or a sword, or an intrigue, it is good to take a rest here, rest assured, Hangzhou is just a temporary harbor, we are just passers-by. I won't be here for long, maybe I'll be able to return to Bianjing soon! Looking at Xiao Cui, who was unhappy for him, Zhao Lei smiled and comforted Xiao Cui and said.

"I know this, official, you have been waiting for the news of the rebellion and self-reliance of Western Xia, right! Mr. Pang drank high in the backyard last time and told all the officials' plans, so the other sisters lived in Hangzhou so leisurely and didn't mention the Bianjing matter at all. Xiao Cui proudly straightened her chest slightly and said loudly to Zhao Lei.

Pomber's fat man, he still can't get rid of his alcoholism, and he dares to say anything when he is drunk, but fortunately he is all his own people here, so that outsiders can hear it, and it may not be what it will become! Looks like it's time to beat up this fat guy who likes to drink and doesn't drink much. Turning his head to look at Xiao Cui's smug expression as if he knew everything, Zhao Lei thought with a smile.

……

The beautiful spring in Hangzhou has slowly passed, seeing that the weather is getting warmer, the people of Zhao Mansion like to go to the quiet and beautiful West Lake more, looking at the green water and blue lotus, listening to the fisherman's song, there is a unique flavor.

I saw that "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!" The season of Zhao Lei's waiting for finally came.

Early summer is coming, and it is about to be the summer tax season, and Zhao Lei, who has just been sent away for a year of taxation, has begun to work hard again on the work of this year's summer harvest.

Zhao Lei, who was checking the general ledger of last year's summer harvest in the study and calculating how much tax he could receive this year, suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and when he looked up, Xiao Ruoruo, who was dressed in a female warrior robe, hurriedly walked into the study.

"News came from Western Xia that Yuan Hao finally rebelled and stood on his own, founded the country as Great Xia, and ordered the states of Western Xia to step on the position of Ninety-Five." Xiao Ruoruo hurriedly walked to Zhao Lei's side and whispered to Zhao Lei eagerly.

"What? So fast! When did it happen? Zhao Lei was shocked and asked in shock, he clearly remembered that the Western Xia was founded in October in history, why did it suddenly become May, five months in advance, could it be that history was fanned off track by the wings of his butterfly.

"May 16! Yuan Hao and Yeli Renrong, Yang Shousu and others discussed the matter of being called the emperor, and on the 18th the founding of the country was enthroned as the emperor, the country name was Daxia, and the year name was changed to the Heavenly Rite Law Yanzuo, and Yeli Renrong, Wei Ming Shouquan, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, Xu Min, Zhang Wenxian and others were appointed as Zhongshu, privy councillor, and servant officials respectively. Specially responsible for making suggestions, appointing Yang Shousu, Zhong Dingchen, Wei Mingyurong, Zhang Yanshou as officials, accepting and other officials, specifically responsible for financial affairs; Yeli Wangrong, Yeli Yuqi, Cheng Kecheng, Lying Duo Duo Zhi Duo Dingduoduo, Ma Cheng Weiji and others were stationed in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Supervision Military Divisions, specifically responsible for military affairs, and the Great Xia Kingdom was thus established. Xiao Ruoruo took out a secret letter and handed it to Zhao Lei and said in a deep voice.

"Eighteen! Today twenty-nine. It's been eleven days, and the imperial court must have gotten the news that the Western Xia, a respectful and weak vassal state when the Great Song Dynasty was founded, has now become a big country side by side with the Great Song Dynasty, and openly proclaimed itself emperor, which is simply a slap in the face of the official! I don't know what the current imperial court will react to! Immediately wave the army to attack Western Xia, I am afraid that the court officials do not have the courage, the severance of diplomatic relations is certain, economic sanctions, diplomatic accusations, or other actions, it seems that I will return to Bianjing in advance. Zhao Lei read the news sent by Xiao Ruoruo's father Xiao Rong on the secret letter. After a deep groan, he said in a deep voice.

"Ignore the imperial court for now, immediately call Mr. Su, Mr. Pang and Mr. District back to discuss how to intervene in this matter!" Zhao Lei said loudly to Xiao Ruoruo after thinking for a while.

Seeing Xiao Ruoruo leave, Zhao Lei looked meaningfully in the direction of Bianjing. I guessed in my heart the reaction of the Bianjing court and the official family.

……

In the Imperial Hall of Bianjing, the official Zhao Zhen sat there with a dark face and anger, the anger in his eyes was enough to kill any minister, and the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness's court were all standing there trembling. The atmosphere didn't dare to gasp, and he carefully weighed the impact of the shocking news he had just received from the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Bang! The official Zhao Zhen slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, adding a special attraction to the originally messy folding document in front of the dragon chair.

"The Western Xia has established a state. The little Xixia actually established a country, thinking that when Taizu was in the past, the party was still a small tribe of less than 10,000 people, if it wasn't for Taizu giving them a place to live, they wouldn't know how to wander there! Now that the country has been established, he Zhao Yuanhao eats the land of the Great Song Dynasty every year, and I have never treated him badly, this white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it has actually ascended the throne and become the emperor. You say, what are I going to do with this unforgivable Zhao Yuanhao! The official Zhao Zhen looked at the court officials below angrily and said loudly.

"Back to the official's house! The party members of the Western Xia ate the monarch and the emperor, and the leader Yuan Hao was given the surname of the country by Emperor Taizong, and many tribes of the party were given many official positions by the officials, and they were given many official positions by the officials, and they were disloyal and self-reliant, such disloyal and unrighteous people, and they must not be tolerated, and the ministers implored the official family to eliminate the surname and official position of Yuan Hao, as well as the official position of the party and the tribe, and at the same time closed the trading curtain with the Western Xia, cut off the contact with the Western Xia, and at the same time made a clear notice at the border, and took the Yuan Hao level to offer the court a reward of 100,000 silver, and caught the Western Xia sent to the Great Song Dynasty to reward a hundred taels of silver, At the same time, there are those who send the official level of the Western Xia according to the official position of the reward of silver, and at the same time, the minority tribes and Han people in the Western Xia are welcome to defect to our Great Song Dynasty. "Transferred back to Bianjing, Wen Yanbo, the head of the Ministry of Justice, immediately came out at this time, and said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Yanbo's suggestion made the official Zhao Zhen overjoyed, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Accurate!" ”

Vicious! Other officials of the imperial court heard Wen Yanbo's suggestion, and secretly admired in their hearts and thought that Wen Yanbo's opinion was that the sword was on the sidelines, knowing that the Great Song Dynasty was weak in the military, and did not care about the army at all, but from the strength of the Great Song Dynasty to calculate the Western Xia, once this plan was implemented, the blow to the Western Xia would definitely not be small, you must know that the Western Xia envied the prosperous minority tribes of the Great Song Dynasty and the common people, and they used to come to the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court did not accept it because of the Western Xia feelings, and now it is torn in the face, and it is directly lured with money, I'm not afraid that no one will come to vote for the Great Song.

And the trick of paying for his life is even more ruthless, although the assassination of Yuan Hao is as difficult as the sky, but the assassination of Western Xia officials has a chance, this reward, then many outlaws will definitely take risks, even if they can't kill Western Xia officials, they will be scared to go out carefully.

And closing the curtain has always been a common means for the Great Song Dynasty to sanction the Western Xia, and the opening and closing has been many times, and the Great Song Dynasty is very familiar with these things.
