As the footsteps of the man slowly walked into this house, Qin Yong was even more surprised, the regulations here were too high.

For example, what kind of roof trusses, caisson wells, bucket arches, doors, decorations, etc., are far from the regulations of ordinary people's houses, and even the mansions of many officials below the third grade, which are far from being comparable.

If Qin Yong's guess is correct, the mansion here is likely to be regulated by the prime minister or even the imperial family. Under such regulations, what "the hall below the third grade shall not be allowed to have more than five rooms and nine frames, the halls and buildings at both ends, and the gate house shall not exceed five rooms and five frames; The regulations of the hall below the five grades shall not be allowed to exceed three rooms and five frames, the hall and the two ends of the building, and the gate house shall not exceed three rooms and five frames, and it is still used as an aconite gate" and so on.

However, how could such a mansion of the prime minister's mansion, or the residence of the royal family, get it to be sold to the outside world? If this point was not clarified, Qin Yong would never have allowed his father to buy this house. Because, that's tantamount to getting a hot potato, and if it's really a bad deal, it will be implicated at any time.

"Yong'er, are you here? Come on, come on, take a look at this house, like it or not! ”

Qin Butcher, who was looking around in the middle hall, suddenly showed his precious son and came, so he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Uh, Dad, like is like! Can...... However, if you want to buy this house, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate! ”

Qin Yong hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Qin Butcher.

This house, he really likes it. If nothing else, its brand new decoration alone made him tempted. Coupled with that huge area, it is estimated that it will be more than five times the size of their Qin family's house in Yangzhou City. If he really lived in such a spacious house, then there is no doubt that his mood would be extremely comfortable!

However, if you like it, you like it, there are too many problems in this house. If he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't dare live in it. Because, that's tantamount to getting into trouble.

Besides, although this house is excellent, the price is too expensive. That's as much as 50,000 taels of silver. In the society of later generations, it is equivalent to a mansion of more than 100 million yuan, just ask, how many people can afford it? That is, a wealthy Yangzhou like Qin Butcher, I am afraid that he can have such financial resources, right? But even so. That cost him nearly half of his net worth, and the price of this is really not high.

"Huh! If you like it! If you like it! There is nothing wrong with it, although it is a regular rule, but it can be rectified. ”

When Butcher Qin heard Qin Yong say that, he waved his hand lightly and said.

"Uh......"

All right. It turned out that Butcher Qin had known that the regulations of this house had become a norm for a long time, so Qin Yong also put his mind at ease. Because, since under such circumstances, the Qin butcher still decided to buy this mansion, it means that there is indeed no problem. It's just that he is still interested in the reasons for this. So, I still continued to ask, "Dad, what the hell is going on?" This house must be an official residence. But how did you sell it? ”

"Huh. Yong'er, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is, because the court is short of money......"

Butcher Qin finally smiled and quickly told the ins and outs of the matter.

"Huh? The court is short of money? How is that possible? ”

When Qin Yongcai heard this first sentence, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart. Will this Great Zhou court be short of money? What are you kidding? To know. This Great Zhou court, like the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty in history, was extremely socially and economically, and the lives of the characters were also extremely wealthy.

Later generations once had a survey that believed that the per capita GDP of the Song Dynasty reached 228o US dollars, that is to say, in the modern China of later generations, the per capita GDP before 2oo5 years was still less than that of the Song Dynasty, so this era is an era of extreme wealth, of course, this is relative to the feudal era.

However, in such an era of incomparably wealth, the Great Zhou court, as the ruler of the entire country, was short of money? It can't be, right?

Qin Yong didn't believe it in his heart, but what he didn't know was that this was indeed the truth. Because, the Great Zhou court pursued a basic policy of low taxes and low rents, being kind to the people, and hiding wealth from the people.

In other words, this Great Zhou world is indeed rich, but the money is rarely in the hands of the court, but in the hands of merchants and ordinary people. For example, if Qin Butcher is such a huge rich man in Yangzhou, that person's property can almost be equivalent to a quarter's income of the Great Zhou treasury.

However, despite this, the rule of the Great Zhou court is becoming more and more stable, and the main reason is because of the people's will. On the contrary, those tyrannical dynasties that often set up false names and excessively levied taxes were soon overthrown by the people.

However, although such a "benevolent government" of the Great Zhou court was greatly supported by the people of the world, in fact, they often made the treasury empty because of some sudden situations. For example, this time the northern barbarians invaded the territory, and the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought a small battle with the other party. This battle, although it finally repelled the invasion of the northern barbarians, but it also caused a huge increase in military expenditure, so it directly gave the head of the household Shangshu and the emperor of the dynasty.

A small war, then the treasury is directly empty. And if the northern barbarians invade on a large scale, then where else do they have the capital to fight against the hostile in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Therefore, it is an urgent matter to open up sources and reduce expenditure!

In fact, this matter has been done by the Great Zhou Tianzi and the Hubu Shangshu in the past dynasties, but there is no way, there is always no better solution. Because of this open source, all they can think of is to levy more miscellaneous taxes. However, this is in line with their basic national policy of "being good to the people". So, every time the royal prince came up with such an idea. The officials in the court and the literati in the middle of the court will write one after another, and the words fiercely ask the Son of Heaven to dispel such thoughts.

And the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty has no choice, and the basic national policy of "being kind to the people" has also been inherited from several generations of emperors. In that year, their Great Zhou Dynasty suffered a great crisis. Because the barbarians in the north went south on a large scale, they directly annexed many lands that originally belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even Chang'an, the former Kyoto, was directly fallen.

At this moment, the fall of a dynasty is just around the corner. But at this time, the Shi clan in the south and the people in the north organized two powerful forces at the same time. In one fell swoop, it was to save the community from danger. Therefore, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time was moved in his heart, and finally made a rule that he would establish the country with literature, be kind to the people, and not be punished by doctors. Taxes are also kept to a minimum permanently. In this way, no one in the subsequent generations of Great Zhou Tianzi will be able to break this convention.

Because, no matter what decision you make, if you infringe on the interests of those literati, then they will unceremoniously scold you for being a stupid king! On the contrary, although the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou was angry in his heart. But there is no way, because the phrase "not punishing a doctor" is not just talking.

In such a situation, the so-called Great Zhou Tianzi actually does not have much autonomy in many cases. However, this is also good, in this way, the atmosphere of the court can be regarded as extremely enlightened, and the subjects of the world are also richer than any feudal era.

However, this also creates a contradiction. That is, the treasury of the Great Zhou is often stretched, and once there is any special situation, they sometimes even have to borrow money from the private sector. However, you still have to repay this loan, so. If open source can't be successful, then let's reduce expenditure, but if you want to reduce expenditure, it will be extremely difficult. Because, many of those literati think that those façade kung fu is actually the face of the court, so this face must not be wasted. As a result, in the end, this throttling could not be achieved.

Until today, when the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the barbarians in the north are becoming more and more powerful, so the Great Zhou Dynasty has constant friction with its major conflicts in the north, which indirectly leads to greater expenses for the court. As a result, the Hubu Shangshu in charge of the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty was changed one after another, but the result was that the problem was never fundamentally solved. Until this term of the head of the household is to come to power, when today's son is ordered to ask him to come up with an effective plan to open source and reduce expenditure, as a result, he thought for a long time, and finally hit the idea on his mansion.

It turned out that the usual rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty was that every time the six Shangshu were appointed, they must be given a large official residence that complied with the regulations. And this new head of the household department is still there. However, this time he could only "contribute" it, because the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou was too tight. And he can't think of any other better open source method, so he can only throttle!

Moreover, this throttling cannot be done to others, otherwise, it will offend people. When the time comes, the entire court will attack it in groups, because there is a precedent for such a thing, otherwise, such a problem would not have dragged on to this day. The main reason is that the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty have too much energy. They can allow you to open up the source or throttle money, but that can't be against the basic national policy formulated by the emperor, let alone infringe on their interests, otherwise, you just say that it's broken, and it's useless.

"Aiqing, that's wronged you!"

When today's son heard that the new Tobe Shangshu proposed such a solution, he was a little embarrassed to say.

It's no wonder, after all, in the current court, everyone knows that it is definitely a chore to give him, the son of heaven, the head of the household department. However, in the end, even the only "sweetness" was put into it, and no one felt comfortable with it.

However, there is no way, and now the treasury is empty, and that is a thousand difficulties. And in normal times, no matter how much he asked those civil servants and military generals to reduce regulations or expenses, there was no way to get through. Now, it's rare to meet a Tobe Shangshu who can cut the blade on himself, so naturally he can't "let go".

However, he was also thinking in his heart at that time, when the matter was over and the treasury was thick again, then he would build a new house for this household secretary. However, I don't know when this matter will have to wait.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials are not wronged! However, this specific method of sale still needs to be considered! After all, this house was built in accordance with the regulations of the second-class masters......"

In fact, at that time, the new Tobe Shangshu had a bitter face and almost didn't cry. After all, this new house is basically the only benefit of being a scholar in this household, but the emperor who saw it said so, can you really complain? Of course, that's not okay, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Fortunately, if this house is sold as desired, it will be able to fill the big hole in the treasury for the time being. After filling it in, if he works hard for another two months, then the next season's taxes should come up, and when the time comes, he, the head of the household, will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aiqing, it's up to you to formulate this specific method! Well, there is no need to change too much, I can make a decree that this house will be left roughly as it is, and as long as it does not involve royal regulations, it can be treated leniently. However, there is one thing, increase the price a little bit as much as possible......"

In fact, this approach will also attract criticism from literati and officials, but there is no way to do it, because, if it is really to be reduced to regulations, then the scale of this house is actually greatly reduced, and it will naturally no longer be valuable.

And today's Son of Heaven may criticize the official, and he has already thought of a way to deal with it. Okay, you say this is an overstep, so you want to think of a way to increase the treasury without exceeding the rules, right? Now the treasury is extremely empty, and in the past you did not allow you to overtax or throttle money from you. Now, there is finally a way to reduce expenditure, and you still want to stop it?

So, in the end, those officials succumbed to the "obscenity" of today, and so, the house was put up for sale, but the price was far more than its value.
