ps: Du Niang's oral endowment entry is wrong, the oral endowment is 7 to 14 years old, not 7 to 17 years old. Ask for a subscription!

Cao Shi boasted that he was not afraid of anyone, even if Liu Che, who was the son of heaven, was thrown in the face by him, the powerful Empress Dowager Dou Yifang couldn't help him, the princess of the pavilion Tao only dared to hide in the corner to scare his wife Liu Wan, and the Dou family was beaten into a pig's head after a few hard faces, and she didn't dare to make trouble again.

As for the resistance to the implementation of the New Deal, it is only the dying throes of the recalcitrant ones.

He is full of confidence, and Liu Che is also full of confidence.

Two young men stand in the newly completed racecourse.

"This is your carefully prepared gift, I love it! Really like it! Liu Che said excitedly.

In addition to the Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, the first-level palaces in Chang'an City, he had seen such a large-scale complex for the first time in his life, with a height of 24 meters and a circumference of 5 kilometers surrounded by a group.

The neat lawn of the four-kilometer track, as well as the peculiar grassland in the inner circle, made the little emperor who was still a teenager very happy, he felt that this place was the most beautiful playground ever, and Cao Shi felt his mind very accurately.

"Brother-in-law is amazing! I can't put into words what I love about this gift. ”

The little emperor looked around with great interest at his gifts, and his expression was like that of a little boy who opened a box, jumping up and down excitedly.

Cao Shi held back for a long time and vomited blood without being angry, never expected that the unsolicited little emperor would use this as a playground. He felt that he really overestimated his wisdom, Liu Che was still that little hairy child who hadn't grown up.

In order to convince the little emperor, Cao Shi decided to use the killer weapon that he had been preparing for a long time.

"Is the racetrack really that magical?" Liu Chehu said suspiciously.

"Of course! I promise it will be so! ”

The two quietly discussed for a long time and went home. Just waiting for more than 20 days before the horse racing conference will be held as scheduled.

The residents of Chang'an City are not blind, the giant buildings in the south of the city have been working hard for almost a year, and more than 100,000 people have been beating day and night, and the lights in the south of the city can be seen in the middle of the night.

Everyone is very curious about how this so-called racecourse races, and private rumors have long spread in the market.

Some people say that horse racing is all about running circles inside, and everyone can see the four-kilometer track. But there is no need to build such a big arena in the circle, and there are many vacant grasslands outside Chang'an City. Those are all places left for the expansion of Chang'an in the future, and there is no reason to spend a lot of financial resources to build a racecourse.

Some people also say that the racecourse is purely a face-saving project carried out by the Shaofu, in order to please the personal hobby of the little emperor Liu Che, and many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing agree with this statement. In their eyes, the little emperor and the Shaofu are wearing a pair of pants, not brothers are better than brothers, Cao Shi has helped Liu Che a lot, that is really not comparable to the brothers of the princes and kings of the Liu family.

There are also some who say that the above is not true, Cao Shi is just doing some big things blindly, attracting attention to defuse the turmoil and influence of the migration of Lingyi, and 400,000 wealthy businessmen from the six countries of Kanto wander around the counties of Guanzhong all day long looking for suitable livelihoods where they can invest in land or speculate. The frequent haunts of the township disturb countless people, and the grassroots pavilion chiefs and Li Zheng are very annoying.

The 400,000 newcomers were resentful, and the local civilians in Guanzhong were not very satisfied. The big guys are not ready to accept so many new immigrants at once, and there are many unpleasant conflicts in various places, and the focus of the contradictions is directed at Shaofu Caoshi.

There are many people who hold this statement, and they are all dissatisfied with the style of the Shaofu, and the senior bureaucrats of the Huang Lao School and the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries occupy a large share, and Prime Minister Wei Juan is precisely the leader among them. His dissatisfaction with Shaofu's work is not a day or two.

On this day, the court meeting dispersed, and the prime minister summoned the three princes and nine secretaries who were familiar with each other to come to discuss the matter. In addition to Shaofu Cao Shi, Taichang Xuchang, Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai, and Taifu Wang Pifang, who relied on the identity of the princes and still ignored Wei Juan's greetings, the other ministers also had to take care of the prime minister's face.

A few middle-aged and elderly people get together to taste tea and discuss politics, talk about the past and talk about the present is very happy, tea is not only the origin of the exchange of feelings, but also the new fashion in Chang'an City, there are virtuous people who do not drink tea in broad daylight, and it is popular to say that tea is a fashionable product to play in the cultural circle of Chang'an City, and you don't want to enter this circle if you don't drink tea.

The wind of drinking tea is flourishing, from the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang, the Empress Dowager Wang Wan to the little emperor Liu Che, all of them are happy to drink tea, the old people drink some pure heart and nourishing flower tea, young people drink some refreshing tea, the healthy drink suitable for all ages has been favored by the heavenly family, the three princes and nine Qing lords and nobles naturally follow up the popularity, the price of tea made in Changsha has risen again and again, and recently it has risen to one or two high-grade tea is worth one or two gold.

Expensive is a little more expensive, but everyone has money, buy tea gold to Changsha Wang Liu Na turn, in less than two years can be gradually collected with the gold rule, the gold that falls into the hands of the people will be exchanged for five baht in the blink of an eye, the court holds the power of coinage that is difficult to imitate, and the small life is more and more moisturized and does not worry about not getting money.

The rise of tea has brought many new cultures, such as the way of cooking tea, the way of tasting tea, and the quiet and peaceful thought of tea culture, which is just in line with the way of thinking of several three princes and nine kings.

Therefore, the trend of drinking tea in Shangqing's circle is even more than the trend of Jingshi, and those who love tea must replace water with tea for three meals a day, pursuing a mysterious feeling that is highly in line with the way of nature.

Interestingly, the initiator of the tea ceremony, Pingyang Hou Cao, was the topic of discussion at today's gathering, and the Shangqing present generally did not have a good impression of him.

Cook the tea in water, filter out the tea stains, boil it with the snow water collected in winter, and brew it in new tea to make a pot of yellow-orange-orange tea soup.

Wei Juan was very satisfied with his tea-making skills, stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "The racecourse is about to be built, although the princes have ideas, they can speak freely, and the old man will never be guilty as the host." ”

The ministers quietly glanced at each other. suddenly understood that the old prime minister was in a hurry.

Taking the tea handed by the prime minister with both hands, Lang Zhong Linghe groaned: "Do you say that the racetrack is a set up by Cao Shi?" ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Cao Shi was young and ambitious, arrogant and arrogant. But a closer look at his actions is not fooling around, I don't think the racetrack is that simple. ”

"How?"

Lang Zhong Linghe said: "I have carefully observed the words and deeds of Shaofu, and he has easily avoided several attempts at the racecourse in the court, and his expression does not look like he is uneasy, but full of confidence and determination, which is very strange. ”

"The young man has an aspiring expression, which doesn't mean anything." The lord Du Weinu disagreed.

"Far from it. The new Chang'an City is also the foundation for him to run and pull up when many people are not optimistic. It's not good for us to be overly careless. ”

Most of the Shangqing kept shaking their heads, and they couldn't help but underestimate Lang Zhonglinghe's courage, and the dignified Jiuqing was suspicious and suspicious by a yellow-mouthed child, this person was definitely not a person who could be in the same league as him.

Doctor Yu Shi smiled and played the round: "The racecourse has invested tens of billions of dollars. It's true that it doesn't look like a thing to play with a hot head, but it can't be ruled out that it can meet the expectations of the Son of Heaven, isn't the Son of Heaven arguing about Jianzhang Palace these days? ”

"Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are large-scale, and there is a North Palace in the north for the Son of Heaven to live, so it seems that there is not much need to rebuild a new palace." The ministers all frowned, and the little emperor said that one place is a one, and today he wants to build a Zhang Palace, and tomorrow he may want to build an imperial mausoleum, and the day after tomorrow he will take off the stars in the sky. These old ministers don't know how difficult it is to do.

Tingwei Niu said angrily: "You can't let the Son of Heaven fool around, it's not right to waste money in order to satisfy your own selfish desires, the court has the rules of the court." The construction of the Jianzhang Palace must not be started. ”

"That's the internal money under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and we can't say anything no matter how anxious we are."

"The big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven doesn't care about us at all."

Half of the three princes and nine qing's faces were not good-looking, and the big farmer Linghui wanted to stop talking, he had a good relationship with Shaofu Cao Shi, but his position as secretary was given by the prime minister. He has no position to speak for Shaofu.

The Shangqing looked at the prime minister, and Wei Wan stroked his beard and said, "Wait." I hope that Shaofu can stop the precipice as soon as possible. ”

In the south of Chang'an City, in the Shaofu Ya on the side of Weiyang Palace.

With a few months of crazy minting, the amount of five baht coins in the world gradually meets the daily monetary needs of the people, and the meaning of continuing to cast five baht coins is limited to large-scale transactions and storage, rich people will choose to save excess money, whether it is digging cellars or digging walls and roots, after all, it will be like a gopher to burrow the remaining property, to this step is not necessary to mint five baht coins, according to the new city pound standard of 25 grams of one and a half two coins, can meet the needs of any powerful landlord to save money.

It is obviously more convenient to use half a tael for large transactions, one and a half taels is equal to 1o five baht coins, and a transaction worth 10,000 yuan only needs 1ooo and a half taels to get it, but the weight difference between the two is a full 1ooo grams.

The gold, silver and copper three-color currency is his conception, and the success of the creation itself is of great significance, whether it is political or symbolic, it is epoch-making.

His ambition is to be an epoch-making legend, otherwise he would be really sorry for God in this life, and he would have suffered in vain.

Cao Shi said: "I sued you last time, the five baht money can be stopped, the current five baht money is enough for the daily use of the people, recast half a tael as the legal tender for the imperial court to pay taxes, staggered the use of copper coins to ensure the normal flow of coins, the imperial court collects taxes as much as possible half a tael, and the insufficient amount of the leader then chooses a small amount of five baht coins instead, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources." ”

Zhang Tang suddenly realized.

I didn't understand the meaning of gold, silver and copper currencies before, but now I understand them all.

"Shaofu wants to use half a tael as the tax currency, five baht as the circulation currency, imitate the three baht money, four baht money to calculate taxes, and one baht pod money as the circulation model, so that the people can pay the tax with five baht money with peace of mind, and pay it to the county after the township and the county order, and then the county will convert the five baht money into an equal amount of half a tael of money and send it to Chang'an City to pay taxes, and both sides will not delay the good way of time."

"There will also be a gradual replacement of the new tax currency, silver and gold coins can now be minted, at present, Shaofu has more than 3.5 billion yuan, and the total amount of five baht coins circulating in the market is about 2.2 trillion yuan, and the Luoyang Mint will not stop for a while, and my order to them is to strive to mint another 1.3 trillion five-baht coins within a year, until the surplus copper on the market is basically consumed, and the money shortage is basically solved."

The cumulative amount of 3.5 trillion yuan, which is converted into 3.5 billion guan, if it is converted into about 2.1 billion guan according to the later generations of Tongbao money, this is the accumulation of 16oo years from the end of the Xia Dynasty to the early years of the Han Dynasty, and the average per capita property of nearly 1o thousand yuan per capita can almost solve the problem of money shortage once and for all.

The wealth accumulated for thousands of years was melted into five baht coins, Cao Shi did not feel that he had done wrong, and the waste money was left for a thousand years to have archaeological and cultural significance, but more waste money would be melted into bad money by the people to use or store, so that the people wasted the value of copper coins by unprofessional means, so it was better to hand it over to him to complete the maximization of benefits.

"The people use five baht money, and the court uses half a tael to collect taxes? Then the people have to prepare a lot of half taels to pay taxes. ”

"Nope! The township husband uses five baht to collect taxes, and the county also uses five baht to sort out taxes, and to the county uses five baht to pay taxes in a unified manner. ”

"Is there that much in the county?"

Cao Shi said with a smile: "There was no before, but there will be in the future, the heavy agriculture and the suppression of business should not be coercive decrees, but should be levied heavy taxes to weaken the capital of the rich and powerful, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the growth of the rich and the poor and the national tax. ”

"New taxes? Has the Shaofu made up its mind to introduce a new tax? But the taxes of the people are already very heavy! ”

"So tax exemption before tax increases."

"Tax-free?"

"That's right! It is to be exempted from verbal gifts. Cao Shi told his plan.

Although the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, after all, the system is different from the Great Qin, the high field endowment of the Great Qin is scared to death, the Great Han lowered the field endowment and raised the poll tax, and improved the advantage of organizing manpower, but also gave the common people a lot of unbearable heavy taxes, and a variety of taxes are basically not under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, but there is one exception, that is, the oral endowment.

According to the rules laid down in the early Han Dynasty, all people who have children who have reached the age of 7 but are under the age of 15 are required to pay a tax of 20 yuan to support the Son of Heaven.

Other people have a head tax that is easy to say, but the collection of oral endowments is simply inhumane, and the immature shoulders of a child of a few years old are used to feed the greed of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor of the Liu family can think of such a crooked trick.

He wanted to completely abolish the oral endowment for a long time, and he was busy with the reform of the money law for half a year, and he also had the idea of pushing the boat to do it.

"The exemption of oral endowment is indeed a major matter for the benefit of the people, but will the Son of Heaven agree to it?" Zhang Tang said worriedly.

Cao Shi said with a smile: "Remember, what the Son of Heaven needs is a legal tax, as long as it is reasonable and legal, everyone in the world accepts it, and the tax collected is higher than before!" It is better to take money from the pockets of businessmen in an open and honest manner, and all merchants who have shops must pay 5% business tax, and all transactions must pay 5% tax, and luxury goods with profits more than double must pay 30% tax, and those who do not make accounts or make false accounts to fool the husband will be fined 2 to 5 times the business tax payable if they are caught. Since childhood, I have learned a lot of businessman tricks. (To be continued)
