[84] Anhui Hall

Yao Fan calculated, this autumn donation, Jiaozhou received a total of 33oo taels of various roll-off orders, of which more than half, about 21oo taels were actually collected, and the remaining half of 12oo taels was advanced by his own loans.

Of the 21oo taels actually collected, only the five families of Jimo paid 11oo taels in the Grange in Jiaozhou. The rest were collected from small landlords, rich peasants, middle peasants, and poor peasants.

This is just an autumn donation, the Qing Dynasty continues to roll orders all year round, if there is any special situation, it is necessary to donate separately, just a small Jiaozhou, a year to say less he has to collect 10,000 taels, of which seventy percent to come from agriculture. These donations are not national taxes, that is, they are not included in the national treasury, but are only used to maintain the operation of the various yamen in Shandong.

As for other indiscriminate fees, it is up to various localities to look at them, and it depends on the ability of each official to collect more or less, and capable officials can collect 350,000 silver from a county a year, of course, it must also be a rich county, and if it is a small place or a poor county, it will be less. ”

There are a total of 96 counties in Shandong, and an average of 270,000 taels of Ding silver are handed over a year, and 4oo taels of Ding silver have been handed over at the most.

According to the calculation of 27o thousand taels, only the local Ding Huang tax is distributed to each of the 96 counties in Shandong, which is already more than 28,000 taels. In addition, there are all kinds of trough silver, rent taxes of Huangzhuang's official land, miscellaneous taxes, etc., these are national taxes, and those that want to enter the treasury will naturally not be able to run away in Jiaozhou.

Yao Fan roughly estimated that even if the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the local yamen in Jiaozhou were not counted, just collecting the imperial grain and the roll-off orders from the higher-level units, a county in Jiaozhou would have to hand over about 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver a year. If you take out a one-third loan, you will have to advance more than 10,000 taels a year, and if you start to enter the peak period of drought next year, and the people will not have a harvest, then you will have to advance at least half of it.

In the city of Qingdaokou, Yao Fan sat in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, closed his eyes and thought: "This is just a county in Jiaozhou, if I open a credit union in all 96 counties in the province, I will have to advance 1 million to 2 million taels a year, which will drag me down." Besides, the entire northern catastrophe makes no sense to save only one province and one place. ”

"This time, in the name of helping Sun Maowen collect taxes, we will connect the poor peasants in Jiaozhou, quickly expand the scale of the Township Warrior Regiment, and lay the foundation for the future expansion of the army, which is the main role of the credit union at present."

Yao Fan made up his mind, opened his eyes, and got up from the bamboo chair. Running to the countryside for days made him a little tired.

Beijing, Housun Hutong Anhui Hall, white walls and black tiles on the outside, carved beams and paintings on the inside, both beautiful and sullen, very in line with the Chinese character of not being ostentatious.

At the beginning, Li Hongzhang built a general of the Huaijun army to fund the construction of an Anhui gentry and businessman office in Beijing, so there was an Anhui guild hall.

Li Hongzhang is currently living here.

The large locust tree in the yard shades the sun, and the exhaust tiled house looks quiet and cool under the shade.

The carved windows of vermilion lacquer are covered with snowflake paper and are wide open, which brings in the cool breeze in the courtyard and the noisy cicadas in the trees outside.

"Daddy, wet towel." A female voice said.

A pair of well-maintained and strong hands stretched out and took a blue and white ordinary towel, the price of this towel in 2o11 will not be more than 1o yuan, and the common price in the city is 9 yuan 9.

As the cool, wet towel wiped over his face, the heat and oiliness swept away.

Li Hongzhang handed back the warm towel that had been wiped to his daughter, and said: "This towel is really good, take it to wipe your face, remove oil and relieve greasy, there are cotton thread loops on it, I don't know what kind of weaver it is." ”

"Dad, the foreigner's machine is really powerful, and he can weave such a fabric, called a towel, which is specially used to wipe his face.

Brother Yao said that foreigners are not smarter than us Chinese, but because they want money and want crazy, they desperately study these clever things in order to live in strange goods.

Brother Yao said that greed for money is also the driving force for social progress.

Brother Yao also said that there is no fixed amount of wealth in the world, and the amount of social wealth depends on the size of the productive forces, and the three elements of the productive forces are laborers, production tools, and labor objects. The better these three are, the higher the productivity. ”

"Ju couple, you go, your mother has just arrived in Beijing, you go and ask her, she is better." Li Hongzhang stroked his beard lightly.

Daughter Li Jingxuan nodded and retreated.

Li Hongzhang looked at the back of his daughter who walked into the courtyard, and sighed lightly: "The woman is not staying......

After that, he lowered his head and continued to lie on the desk, it turned out to be a book with color page illustrations, which was a "Yao Collection" given by Yao Fan to the three children of the Li family.

"If you change, it will be chaotic, if it is chaotic, if it becomes it, it will be repeated, and then it will change again and again, this British people have come to this day like this......" Li Hongzhang thought for a while, picked up a silver stainless steel pen next to him, and wrote down his reading experience on a piece of paper.

This fountain pen given to him by his daughter is very popular with Li Hongzhang, although he felt that the nib was too hard when he first used it, and there was no change in the thickness of the press, but after he got used to it, he felt that it was very convenient.

Yao Fan...... Yao Zaofan...... Jingshu, Jingfang, and Jingxuan all said that he was talented...... It seems that this person has a bit of a good stomach in his belly...... If you can enter my shogunate and train me for a few years, it will be of great use...... Shandong Machinery Qì Bureau this equipment installation, I want to see it in person...... What kind of person is this......

"Li Lu, this is the refined white rice sent by the owner, a total of two catties, if you feel good when eating, you can go to my store to buy it, you don't feel good when you eat, just don't buy it." The proprietor said that this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from our credit union to customers. You sign it and accept it, I'm going to the next one. "The fourth way of the week.

"Oops, how does this work! I borrowed Mr. Yao's silver, and now I ask Mr. Yao to give me a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, how do you say this? Li Lu was surprised and confused.

His wife Xu came out, opened the white plastic horse clip bag, was startled, and shouted in a fuss: "Li Lu, it's refined white rice!" Not rice! Oooooooo Not a single sand chaff peel mixed in! What a conscience! ”

Xu grabbed the white horse clip bag containing rice: "Li Lu! This year, the brown rice has risen to 76 wen a catty, and there are a lot of bran sand and gravel in it! Refined white rice of such color must not be sold for a hundred wen a catty! Even, shiny mile ......"

"Oh, don't be verbose, hurry up and accept it, this Mid-Autumn Festival, all the farmers who take out the loan have a share, the owner said, in the future, everyone and my credit union will have a long relationship and help each other."

Li Lu's wife, Xu Shi, held the plastic bag tightly, nodded her waist and said, "Yes!" Be! Be! Must be in the same boat! Master Yao is a great good man! The next time Master Yao comes to our village, our family will kowtow to Master Yao! ”

Seeing his daughter-in-law so happy, Li Lu was a little confused, he mortgaged a total of one acre of water to irrigate the land, got 4o taels of silver, and deducted 7 taels and five yuan of tax, so that the interest of about six dollars of silver a year was calculated. Now these two catties of refined white rice are harvested, which is equivalent to earning two dollars of silver. If Master Yao hadn't done good, he would have gone crazy.

"Master Yao is really benevolent! What a good man! Li Lu held the white rice, and her face was full of thanksgiving smiles.

Some families in the village have no loans, and now when they see such a scene, their hearts are sour.

"Alas! What a remorse! Why didn't I borrow a little bit at the beginning, so that I wouldn't be embarrassed now, and I could also get the refined white rice sent by Master Yao this time! After a villager gathered around and asked the villagers about their intentions, they regretted it.

The villagers all knew the news one by one, and they looked around the villagers to ask questions, and after understanding, they all praised them.

"Hey! It's really white rice, and there is no skin left in a single grain! Even the dorsal groove skin has been worn off! It took a lot of work to get to this! Strangely, the rice hasn't been crushed yet! Good boy! Such a good rice is now difficult to buy for a hundred pounds! A villager grabbed a handful of rice and praised it in his hand.

"This Master Yao is really a good man! This credit union is really a good society for doing good deeds! But I hope that Master Yao can continue to run this agricultural credit cooperative in Jiaozhou for a long time! An old man praised.

"I heard that this credit union only gives us local loans in Jiaozhou, Jimo, Jiaoxi and other counties, and will not accept any loans, and I won't give loans if I want to!" A villager on the side was holding rice, his face full of joy and pride.

"That's right! Master Yao is a native of Jiaozhou, why is it cheaper than other counties? The silver for this loan did not fall from the sky, it was all real money, and Master Yao paid it himself! This interest rate is so low, it is only eight points a year, if Master Yao takes this money out to put the seal, there will be at least two percent of the profit a year! A thin black farmer shrewdly settled accounts for everyone.

"Master Yao is such a good person! It's the blessing of our Jiaozhou! We hope that the president of the agricultural credit cooperatives will continue to do it for a long time, and then our people will encounter a disaster year, and the days will be much better! The villagers were amazed.

"Folks, I wonder if I can't take Master Yao's gift for nothing, how can I say that I have to send something back? Such a good refined white rice, I have never eaten it once in my life! An old man said tremblingly.

As soon as they heard about the return gift, everyone was stupid, and no one knew what gift to give to a rich man who was not short of money.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Lu stood up and said: "I heard that Master Yao is building a house in Yaojiazhuang and preparing the land, and there is a shortage of workers, I said, a few people from our village will help do some chores, just don't get paid, I heard that Master Yao is benevolent and righteous, and he manages three meals a day!" ”

"Just take care of the rice, as long as you take care of the food, I'll give Master Yao a winter." A farmer's road

"Do you want to eat a good thing and eat white rice for the winter? That's not to make people Yao eat poor. Li Lu said disdainfully.

The peasant retorted to Li Lu and said, "What do you know, I heard the dog leftover who came back to pack up the bedding said that he and the few people in our village who went to take out labor loans are not willing to come back now!" On the construction site, there are three meals a day, and the food is blessed, there is oil and salt in the dishes, and the white flour steamed buns are piled up into a mountain, and you can make it with all your strength! There are many laborers from other counties, and they are not willing to leave, and they are eager to work for a lifetime! ”

As soon as he thought of the white-flour steamed buns and oil and salt side dishes, he immediately wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't believe you can ask Master Yao's Xiangyong to know, I don't talk nonsense." ”

So the villagers surrounded Zhou Si, who was bringing people back from the river to carry water.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, I heard that Zhuangzi works and eats three meals? All-you-can-eat white flour steamed buns? Li Lu took the lead and asked.

Zhou Sisi said honestly: "Yes, I must be full." But the work is very tiring, and at the moment it is all heavy work of civil construction, let's just level the boundary by the sea, and do it from dawn until dark. ”

"If that's the case, I'll go tomorrow to help Master Yao build the Zhuangzi, just take care of it!"

"I'll go too!" "I'll go too!"

One by one, the peasants who were busy with the farm work in the fields this year all had the idea of going to the construction site to work and eat enough.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, you tell the guys to put the bucket down, you do this, we don't want to go."

"This is not good, this is the rule set by the owner, the credit union goes to the countryside, must carry water for each customer to sprinkle and sweep, this is the rule, can not be messed up."

"Put it down, don't do it, you sue Master Yao, we can't afford it."

"No, this is the rule, it is known by the owner, and our platoon will be punished." Zhou Si said with a bitter face.

"Oh, Master Yao is really benevolent! Righteousness! "Everybody was amazed.

"It's really worthy of timely rain in Jiaozhou!"
