227 Before the earthquake
The mentor and apprentice agreed on the pre-tax expenditure of the fund's public welfare funds, and the next thing to discuss was the investment funds.
In later generations, financial supervision was relatively tight, and the ins and outs of the money were basically hidden. However, in this era, I am afraid that the most professional financial team is in the trading house, and it is impossible for the imperial court to find out whether the trading company is profitable or not.
The simplest way, Xu's Fund put 100,000 taels of silver into the Western Ocean sea ship XX, but the ship disappeared at sea - this is a common thing, even in the era of satellite positioning, a large number of sea ships are missing every year, let alone today. As a result, the investment of the Xu Fund will be lost, and where will the imperial court collect taxes?
And the real situation is that 100,000 taels of silver entered the Xu family's underground silver cellar.
"From the perspective of the imperial court, this amount must be spent after tax." Zheng Yue stroked his beard gently: "Otherwise, the imperial court will not receive a penny of silver." ”
- That's exactly what I was planning.
Xu Yuanzuo said: "Those who operate the last business are already taking a big risk. And without enough money coming in, merchants refused to expand and hire more people. Presumably, the students have made it clear that only when more people are employed, the place can be more stable. And only when the business hires more people, and the students who can't go to school have a job. Only then can the people rest assured that their children can go to social studies. ”
Zheng Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Social studies are the foundation of culture and education, if the princes of the imperial court attribute the number of social studies students to the examination, I want to come to Fuzun to accept your explanation." Otherwise, the Songjiang tax is already a headache, if you open another opening, where can the county afford it? ”
That's the deal.
Xu Yuanzuo said: "This matter is not difficult, I believe that not only my father is willing to support Xiangzi culture and education, but other squires are also happy to see it." ”
Zheng Yue relieved himself a little at this time, and said: "As the teacher said before. This opening can't be opened, you have to help think of a threshold for the teacher. ”
"It's easy." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "The fund is only valid if the registrant is valid, and there must be more than 30,000 acres of land as registered capital before it is allowed to be registered." ”
Zheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are not many people who want to come to Songjiang to take 30,000 acres of land out to make a fund. ”
"Yes, yes." Xu Yuanzuo said this, but he secretly apologized in his heart: the storm of land withdrawal and the wave of lawsuits set off by Hai Rui will soon cause a big shock in the two mansions of Su and Song. When the time comes, the family will have a field. Seeing that the establishment of a fund can preserve the industry, most of them will follow the example.
"The yamen can also charge fifty taels of work costs." Xu Yuanzuo offered advice to the teacher.
"What is the cost of work?" Zheng Yue didn't react.
"Creating industrial and commercial registers always requires manpower and material support." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.
Zheng Yue smiled bitterly: "It's good to be willing to come, how dare I accept another fifty taels!" ”
"Sole fund needs. Because it takes a lot of manpower to survey and check the land deed and the field, and find out the ownership of the land right. Xu Yuanzuo said.
"Are you willing to pay?" Zheng Yue was still skeptical.
"Nature." Xu Yuanzuo cut the railway.
Zheng Yue smiled: "You will be exempted, let's talk about it later." ”
Xu Yuanzuo got up and said, "Then the student will go back and prepare." By the way, teacher, the sea governor has already arrived in Tang Xing a few days ago, and I am afraid that he will go south to the county town in the near future. ”
"Ahh Zheng Yue didn't know about this yet, and was startled.
"He is a private interview with Weifu. There is no post house. Xu Yuanzuo said: "I think I want to investigate the people's feelings." ”
Zheng Yue said: "I know. "This matter should also be reported to the government as soon as possible.
Xu Yuanzuo said goodbye at this time.
Hai Jui measured the land in the south of the Yangtze River and demanded that the large households return the land. Among them, the majority is the landlord encroaching on the official land, and a small part is the wealthy family encroaching on the private land.
Su Song's tax is the heaviest in the world, and folklore has it that he punished the people of Wu for supporting Zhang Shicheng - a punishment for standing on the wrong side.
In fact, at the beginning of the dynasty, the north had basically been broken. Long before the Mengyuan Dynasty, northern China was successively ruled by the Khitan Liao and the Jurchen Jin, and of course the development could not be compared with the south.
Poor foundation. In addition, the Mongol Yuan mainly plagued the north, and the main force of the Mongolian iron cavalry was also in the north. The rebel army even took the Northern Expedition as its slogan and goal, and the people in the north were really miserable, and I was afraid that they would have to squeeze some oil out of the stones.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Meng Yuan fled north, and he must be pursued and annihilated, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not be right. Naturally, the pressure on military spending is also on the rich areas in the south.
In the land of Susong, the heaviest burden is Guantian.
The taxes on the official land were so heavy that the tenant farmers were regarded as slaves, so these serfs were also the first to flee. Later, the trend of fleeing became more and more popular, and the farmers fled and brought with them the land they cultivated on a daily basis. Coupled with the hands of the officials, Guantian turned into a Mintian.
This is the land that Hai Jui first wants to spit out by the big households.
At least to spit out the number of official fields in the early days of the dynasty, and this is definitely cutting people's hearts.
In addition, the Hao clan did not mind returning the land encroached upon by the slaves - they could not draw the rent anyway, and they were all swallowed up by the slaves. However, the tide of lawsuits caused by this created a famous proverb in later generations: it is better to plant thin fields than to sue for fattening.
Hooligans and scoundrels rushed to sue the rich households, and some people demanded the land they had sold back through lawsuits, which became a trend for a while.
So the whole Gangnam shook.
Xu Yuanzuo is now standing before the earthquake.
However, he did not intend to tell anyone, but he was prepared for the earthquake. Moreover, this kind of earthquake in the political field will not only not kill people, but will also create many opportunities to increase income, and the key depends on whether someone can grasp it.
Xu Yuanzuo informed Xu Fan of Zheng Yue's request, and Xu Fan was willing to help promote it because his family also wanted to run a college. What's more, Xu Jie even handed over his own seal to him for safekeeping, which shows the great authorization.
After finalizing the method of promoting the entrance examination of social studies, Xu Yuanzuo took Qi Miao and Mei Chenggong, made a carriage and rushed to Tang Xing overnight.
Because Tang Xing's Economic Academy is about to be unveiled.
In this era, the word "economy" still means "helping the people through the world", giving people the illusion of liberal arts, especially political schools. In fact, Xu Yuanzuo asked Cheng Zai to co-establish this academy with the goal of cultivating useful financial personnel.
Running a college is more famous than beneficial, and Cheng Zai is of course unwilling to pay easily. Xu Yuanzuo paid for it, he was responsible for running errands, liaison, teaching, and also hung the title of founder, which he was willing to do.
Cheng Zai was talking to the hired expert veteran at the Economic Academy, and when he heard that Xu Yuanzuo was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.
Xu Yuanzuo had already jumped out of the car, looking at the big mansion in the center of the city with satisfaction. He doesn't like to pay for the school by himself, the cost is too high, and there is almost no return at all, but now is the time to employ people, and the demand for talents will be further expanded in the future, so he has no choice but to pay for it himself.
In the future, with the support of the Xu Fund, the follow-up operating expenses will not have to be paid by yourself.
Xu Yuanzuo saw Cheng Zai come out and hurriedly saluted. Now both of them are students, although Cheng Zai is much older, he only needs to be friends. (To be continued......)
