Although Lin Bei came up with the trick of fares, when the prices in Wanghai City were not in circulation, the people of Wanghai were still cautious about the use of the Dragon God Coin, but An Zhong told Lin Bei that this would only be temporary, and the use of the Dragon God Currency would gradually improve when each household divided the land.

After the issuance of the Dragon God coin, the officials of Lin Bei and Wanghai City were even busier, because they also had to formulate tax issues, the monthly money and welfare benefits of the officials, etc., in addition, because of the habits of Lord Longshen, the names of the officials were gradually changing, such as An Zhongzhi's position, he was Si Nong, and he was in charge of money and grain, Lin Bei sometimes forgot the title of Jì Si Nong, and he would shout for a long time: Minister of Finance?

Lord Ryujin's habit is the habit of the people below, so Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi are adapting, and now An Zhongzhi knows that he is calling him, and he knows that he is calling him when he hears the Minister of Finance

The change in the job title is only a small thing, but the upcoming tax system and the treatment of officials make Lin Bei's head hurt, and for this reason, Lin Bei also quarreled with Bian Ji and others several times.

"What's wrong with the merchant? Does the tax system for businessmen have to be so high? Lin Bei's eyes widened.

"My lord, the merchant earns a lot of money, so the tax naturally has to be higher, my lord, you set the tax of the common people at one-tenth, and it is normal for the merchant to set four-tenth, right? The commercial tax of the Han Dynasty court is now five out of ten? An Zhongzhi didn't give in.

"That's somewhere else, I want Haicheng to encourage business, and three-tenths of the business tax is already extremely heavy."

"My lord, if you want to encourage business, we have no objection, but the people are the foundation of the country, if adults encourage business, then who will farm in the future? Where does our food come from? ”

"I didn't say I don't want the common people to farm, you heard me clearly. Encouraging business and farming are two completely unrelated things, agriculture and business, agriculture and commerce must be combined, An Zhongzhi, don't bully me I don't understand. ”

"My lord really doesn't understand, if the commercial tax is set at three tenths. With the current conditions of my Wanghai, I am afraid that no one will be able to farm. An Zhongzhi didn't give in at all at this moment, like a cockfight.

"We have to consider the freight and labor required by the merchant, so let's take a step back, how about 3.5 tenths of the business tax?"

An Zhongzhi nodded reluctantly, and said, "Next, my lord, we have to talk about the monthly money of our officials." ”

"Well, let's talk about it."

The monthly money of officials in the Han Dynasty was calculated in terms of how many stones and rice. In Wanghai City, it was converted into dragon god coins, and at the same time, regardless of stones, but on catties, Lin Bei naturally has no monthly example, and under it is the dragon god Bian Ji, whose monthly money is the highest. Eight hundred catties of rice a month, calculated according to one catty of good jade for five pieces. It was 4,000 yuan a month, then Cui Lan and Huang Yueying, 3,005 yuan a month, An Zhongzhi was 3,000 yuan, and then according to the level of the position, Lin Beiyue frowned more and more. Even the lowest-ranking officials have to have a monthly money of 100 catties of rice a month, which is 500 yuan when converted into dragon god coins.

"An Zhongzhi, you're going crazy, no, it's too high. Bian Ji doesn't do as much work as the officials every day, so why give him 4,000 yuan? ”

Bian Ji was also shot while lying down, and smiled bitterly on the side: "My lord, it is all set by loyalty, you have to scold him." ”

"An Zhongzhi, and you, 600 catties of rice a month, can you eat it? Can you eat 20 catties of good rice a day? Are you going crazy? ”

An Zhong said that he couldn't do this job, and said loudly: "My lord, this can't be calculated like this, I really can't eat 600 catties of rice every month, but this month's money can't be calculated according to how much rice I can eat, right?" ”

"Anyway, no, it's too high, for the time being, your monthly income is uncertain, and then make a decision after counting the monthly income of our people, how many people will have to support you with monthly money like you? Are you going crazy? ”

"Okay, my lord, you are the biggest, you are what you say." An Zhongzhi was speechless, if you want to say that this is you, it is you who don't want to talk about it now.

When Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi came out of the City Lord's Mansion, the two smiled bitterly at each other, and Bian Ji said: "My lord is not very proficient in internal affairs." ”

An Zhongzhi nodded: "Well, Zhongzhi has also seen it." ”

"Then you'll have to work harder in the future."

"I understand."

"But you were brave enough to talk to an adult like that."

An Zhongzhi suddenly smiled bitterly: "Master, don't make fun of me, I'm still in a cold sweat." ”

Bian Ji laughed.

Just when An Zhongzhi was about to have a tough battle with Lin Bei on the matter of the official month, He Ming returned to Wanghai City, and the Great Dragon King battleship also docked at the same time, Lin Bei hurriedly said to Bian Ji, took Cui Lan, gathered the sergeants, and threw down a lot of things to leave alone

"My lord" Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi kept calling him, and the two of them were already a little angry.

The so-called son of a daughter, he can't sit down, unless it is a time when a regime is at stake, the leader will not fight, this dragon god is good, one will run away if he can't look at it, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi feel that there will be no more love in the future.

"It's out." When the boat was far away, Lin Bei sighed and said.

Cui Lan was speechless on the side, she had heard the shouts of Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi just now, and now listening to Lin Bei's words, how could she feel that this Dragon God Lord had just come out of the cage?

Lin Bei said with some embarrassment: "Cui Lan, you don't know, An Zhongzhi and those officials say something I don't understand in front of me all day long, my head is about to explode."

"So there are things that adults don't understand?" Cui Lan asked.

"There's so much I don't understand, even God doesn't know everything."

"I seem to know, the Lord and Ansinon seem to have quarreled a few times over taxes and monthly expenses, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"Forgive Cui Lan for being blunt, since you don't understand this matter, why don't you hand it over to Si Nong?"

Lin Bei sighed: "I don't want to give him full power, but"

Lin Bei really can't say the reason, he really doesn't understand the details of many things, but he knows what the impact of these things will be, such as the taxation of agricultural business, he doesn't know much about how much tax is collected, but he knows that the amount of tax is related to the leader's attention to these two industries, or heavy agriculture and light business, or heavy business and suppression of agriculture, the former will make Wanghai City a regime dominated by agriculture, and the latter will bring the germ of capitalism, and then how many monthly times the officials have, If it is high, it will increase the burden on the common people, and on the surface it looks like a high salary and low income, but the actual effect is very poor.

But knowing the impact is knowing the impact, but in practice, Lin Bei doesn't know anything, even if he wants to enforce it with the identity of the dragon god, he can't implement it, for example, Lin Bei is the boss of the company, he has to reduce the salary of the workers, because it is good for him, but he doesn't know how much to reduce the salary of the workers, there is no specific number, Lin Bei can't just say that you all have to reduce the salary, right? If you subtract a hundred, or if you subtract a thousand, you have to come up with a specific number to let your subordinates know.

This is also the reason why Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi quarreled, Lin Bei just said that he didn't practice, he just blindly said that this is not good and that is not good, but he can't say the details, An Zhong is really about to vomit blood in the face of such a dragon god, Lin Bei is also a good thing to leave, both sides calm down.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, An Zhong will definitely come up with several plans for me to choose from when the time comes, and I'll see when I go back, how about Jiaozhi?" Lin Bei asked about the war, and he was not good at internal affairs, but in terms of military affairs, Lin Bei was okay, and he now felt that it was much easier to fight a war than to deal with internal affairs.

Cui Lan also wisely changed the topic: "There has been no action on the Jiaozhi side in the past two days, but our outpost did detect that the barbarian city is building roads with cement, and it seems that the Zhen family is indeed selling cement." ”

Lin Bei nodded: "With the current manpower and material resources of the barbarian city, if you really want to build a cement road, it will definitely be faster than my Wanghai City, Zhen Ping said that he will sell cement after the year, maybe the big barbarian has been getting the cement for more than ten days, if you really want to build the road well, it is estimated that it can be completed for thousands of miles." ”

Cui Lan thought about the speed of building roads in Wanghai City, and then thought about the number of people in Mancheng, and nodded thoughtfully, Wanghaicheng can use a maximum of one or two thousand people to repair it at a time, but Mancheng can use more than ten times the number of people, if the cement road is enough, it is really not a problem to pave thousands of miles in ten days.

"But the big barbarians are building roads that I would like to see, and it is best if the South Crossing border is full of concrete roads." Lin Bei smiled again.

This is the purpose of selling the cement production method to the Zhen family, so that the transportation of the Central Plains states will be developed, and when the time comes, Zhuxiong will not be able to mix in the Central Plains, so he will flee to the surrounding countries and sweep away the barbarians, so that he will not always fight his own people.

Cui Lan smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly pointed to the right: "My lord, look there, that's what the adults said about Manatee Island, there are a lot of them, right?" ”

Manatee? Lin Bei remembered that Cui Lan saw a large herd of manatees when he first explored the sea channel, and Cui Lan didn't know what kind of sea beast it was at that time, and later Lin Bei also asked some ships to transport the biogas slurry here to pour it into the sea to promote the growth of aquatic plants in the sea and facilitate the breeding of manatees.

The beach of that small island is densely packed with manatees, almost the whole island is encircled, the number of many is not enough to count, anyway, there are many, many are enough, if you estimate the approximate number, it is estimated to be more than 100,000 heads, because the boat is relatively far away, so the manatees are not afraid to swim into the sea.

"Have any fishermen ever killed them?" Lin Bei asked, such a scene of more than 100,000 manatees gathered can only be seen in this era.

"There should be, but it's not much, and now there are a lot of fish in the waters around Wanghai City, and the fishermen can't catch them."

A large group of seabirds flew close from the sea, the manatee was very timid, and even the seabirds were afraid, so they dived into the sea one after another, with the manatee's movements, Lin Bei, who had very good eyes, saw some crystal things turning out of the beach and under the water, Lin Bei's heart moved: "Wait a minute, let the boat get close to that island." (To be continued......)
