To be precise, not a public biogas digester, but a new urban sanitation system...

Cen Tao, the master craftsman, blinked, opened his hand, put it on the table, and began to explain the project. The new sanitation system includes public toilets, underground sewers, purification canals, biogas digesters, garbage points and waste disposal sites. After the whole system is completed, the municipal waste can be fully treated and reused.

Of course, this is only ideal. Not to mention the cost of more than 1,000 cities in the Han Kingdom, labor and raw materials cannot be easily provided. At present, Zhang Jian is still trying to increase the number of slaves. However, the increase in slaves was far from matching the growth in the demand for labour.

It is worth mentioning that Cen Tao predicts that each urban resident can provide 1~2 catties of fertilizer. This somewhat moved Zhang Han. He did the math and accepted the number. However, these fertilizers are just a drop in the bucket.

New agricultural technologies have dramatically increased food production, but the demand for fertilizers is also considerable. Due to the continuous bumper grain production for many years and the oversupply, Zhang Han relaxed the restrictions on the grain area. In general, only half of the land is required to grow food. As a result, farmers have been able to widely adopt techniques such as crop rotation and green manure. Even so, in order to obtain high yields, about 10,000 catties of biogas residue and biogas slurry are still needed as fertilizer per mu. For ordinary farmers, 780,000 catties of fertilizer are needed for one hectare of land at home, which is barely enough to use. In contrast, the fertilizer converted from the garbage produced by urban residents does not play a big role.

"I am against Brother Yuanbo's proposal! I don't know. Has Brother Yuanbo calculated the cost of this plan?

I have made a rough calculation, and it is conservatively estimated that this plan will also require hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I believe that the actual cost will exceed one million dollars......"

Dasi Nong Xu Ling was unceremonious, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he bluntly objected.

Zhang Han gathered a million soldiers, including more than 540,000 conscripts, 480,000 standing troops, plus 80,000 naval troops and navy. The total number of troops is as high as 1.1 million. Over the years, there has been an endless war, and military spending has never been more than a million dollars. Zhang Han expanded the scope of the salaries of the servants, raised the salaries of the people (half the money and half the grain), and liked to engage in some miscellaneous projects, but he was always surprised by the high financial expenditure. Xu Ling, the big Si Nong, is not easy to do! It took a lot of effort for him to keep his financial expenditure within 2 million. As soon as I heard that there was going to be a big project. Immediately, his face changed.

Cen Tao was mentally prepared for Xu Ling's fierce opposition:

"Well, Zhong Yuan, a million dollars can't be used. Based on the current calculation of the cities under the rule of the prime minister, it will take about 900,000 yuan...... However, this money is not a one-time investment and can be divided into several years. I estimate that 156,000,000 yuan a year is enough for ......."

"Hmph—"

Xu Ling snorted. Based on the cities currently under his control, will Zhang Han let the princes of all parties cut off the drama? Seeing that a big war is about to start again, I don't know how much food will cost. Unless other works are stopped and money is diverted. Otherwise, he would never have agreed.

……

Cen Tao looked around. Seeing that everyone is either thoughtful, or looking at the sky and the earth. No one was willing to support him, so he had to be stupid and come up with a backup plan. With Xu Ling's buckle door, it is obvious that it is impossible to build this system specifically for all cities. At most, it can only be implemented in a few important cities. The same is true for Cen Tao's backup plan, which can reduce the expenditure to around 270,000 yuan in one fell swoop. Forty or fifty thousand dollars a year is enough. Even if it spreads throughout the Han Kingdom, there are more than ten years. It is also enough to renovate all the important cities in the country.

However, Cen Tao was still very unwilling, and additionally stipulated in the backup plan that new and expanded cities must use this as a standard to build this system.

The backup plan drastically reduced expenses, and Xu Ling's opposition was less intense. After a brief discussion, the plan was adopted, and it took five to seven years to complete the system in important cities such as the county government.

"I have two questions to say today, one is the liquor tax;"

With this as a start, Zhang Jian began his topic today:

"We are not short of grain now, last year the military tun harvested 10,000,000 stone of grain, more than 10,000 stone in the field, a total of more than 17,000 stone. In addition to 40 million stones of rice and 70 million stones for the military, there is still a considerable surplus. Of course, these grains are mainly used as reserve food, just in case, and are not sold to the outside world. However, there is no shortage of food among the people. In the past two years, grain prices have basically stabilized, and they have always remained at around 123 yuan......

After the people became wealthy, the first thing the men, women and children in the family did was to make two new clothes. Xiang Feng relaxed the restrictions, and last year, the cloth produced by the water-powered textile workshop exceeded 10 million horses for the first time, and the overall value also exceeded the 1 million yuan mark. In the past two years, the annual minting of five baht of gold has also exceeded 600,000. In this case, food prices remain stable, which is effectively equivalent to a decline in food prices. This is the subtext that Zhang Jian did not explain.

By the way, the second thing that a wealthy farmer has to do is to build a house. Therefore, the most promising business at present is the brick kiln, lime kiln, quarrying, sand mining and logging and other local building materials industry. Zhang Han was forced to put forward the protective principle that "felling must be replanted", and encouraged the planting of mulberry and other building materials, as well as various fruit trees. In this era, it was common to plant fruit trees such as peaches, plums, pears, and persimmons. Some large families also plant large areas of fruit groves in order to make a greater profit than farming.

"Grain wine imposes a very high tax on liquor, which makes fruit wine popular...... However, the price of fruit is expensive. The situation will not improve until there is an oversupply. Therefore, the cost of fruit wine land is relatively higher. There is a considerable demand for low-grade grain wine......

The stakes are high, so there are many people who make wine privately in order to evade liquor taxes. Despite the various means used to conduct inspections, the practice of moonshine has also been repeatedly prohibited...... (Zhang Jian counted the cases that have had a greater impact in recent years)

The water of Dayu is better than sparse.

I suggest that the high tax rate on grain wine be lowered to make it unprofitable, and then the bootlegging will be consumed.

……”

The tax rate for grain wine is ten cents per liter. One stone and ten buckets, one bucket and ten liters, and the liquor tax for one stone of wine is a thousand dollars. In this way, the cheapest water wine also needs more than two thousand yuan to be profitable. As mentioned earlier, Lu Zhi's alcohol consumption is one stone, and Zheng Xuan's alcohol consumption is one stone.

Come down, the two of them drank a drink, and it would take 10,000 yuan to get the least.? Come down, the two of them drank a drink, and it would take 10,000 yuan to get the least.?

There are so many benefits hidden in the room, no wonder people are rushing to it.

"Well, isn't there sugar cane wine or something, how can this be?"

Sugarcane wine is a wine made from sugarcane bagasse after sugar extraction, because the raw materials are cheap, the cost of sugarcane wine is not high, and the price is not expensive.

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and explained to Zhang Han:

"The cost of sugarcane wine is not high, but it is scarce and expensive, and there are more people who like to drink it, and the price of sugarcane wine has also increased......"

Sugarcane is produced in the land of Minyue, which was originally only available in Jiaozhou. Zhang's sugarcane comes from Tianzhu and has a higher sugar content. In recent years, it is not known whether someone has obtained sugarcane stems from Tianzhu, Jiaozhou, or Zhang's sugarcane plantation. Gradually, some people are growing sugar cane. However, cane sugar is a luxury, and the profits here are huge. Whoever obtains the stems of the cane is kept secret. The number of sugar cane plantations is still small, and even sugar cane wine has become a rarity.

When Zhang Han heard this, he couldn't help but cry and laugh. Businessmen seek profits, and it is understandable that they will increase prices. And Haidong's sugarcane plantation is the most profitable one in his third uncle Zhang Pu's industry, if Zhang Han wants to promote sugarcane, Zhang Pu must be anxious with him. It's just going to take its course......

Looking back, it's okay to change it. At the beginning, the high grain and wine tax was enacted to save food, but now that the times have changed, it is natural to change.

All of you here are aware of the drawbacks. It's just that Zhang Han reduced taxes. Fiscal revenues have dropped sharply, and the liquor tax has become an important source of local tax revenue. In the past two years, industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and the liquor tax is not so important. Moreover, tax evasion is increasing, and the collection of alcohol tax has become a problem. Xu Ling muttered a few words, and then said no more.

Since everyone unanimously thought that the liquor tax was set high, Zhang Han was as good as a stream:

"Okay. Then lower the tax on food and liquor! However, the tax rate on fruit wine should also be lowered at the same time to promote fruit wine. How much is the specific tax rate for Yuanxi? ”

"The grain and wine will be restored, and the tax rate will be set at four cents per liter; Fruit wine...... It's set at two cents per liter! ”

Zhang Jian hesitated and quickly made a decision. Today the main thing is to change the grain and liquor tax. Wine doesn't matter.

"The second thing I'm going to talk about today is the official exam;

As of the day before yesterday, the first official selection examination has ended......"

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly focused their attention. Although the officials look down on the officials, the specific measures must be implemented through the hands of the officials after all. Whether the rule of officials is clear or not is really important. This move has nothing to do with the officials, but everyone here knows what it means. However, the "Examiner Order" was promulgated on the fifth day of the fourth month. It was only April 12, and someone selected the officials. The crowd listened. Inevitably, there is a feeling of "too fast". are secretly wondering who is so nimble. The traces of this sycophant are too obvious, right?!

"Song Qingming of Fuliu County selected eleven young officials on the morning of the 10th of this month......"

Fuliu County and Xindu were close at hand, and the "Examiner's Order" reached there in less than a day. At that time, there happened to be four vacancies in the county, which was originally a matter of the county magistrate. Generally speaking, as long as you give some gifts to the chief, the chief official nods, and that's fine. However, it coincided with the release of the "Examiner Order". That's another kind of thing - Fuliu ordered Song Qingming to immediately raise this to the highest priority and personally go out to examine and select these small officials. Of course. The county magistrate came out, and the four officials were too shabby. Song Qingming strictly handled a few small officials who could not be done in a row, and added a few dispensable positions, making up a total of twelve places. On the second day, Song Qingming announced the registration criteria for the whole county - good health, clean net worth, etc., and conducted the examination and selection three days later......

“……

According to investigation, the twelve selected officials are all innocent and selected with their results. Among them, there is no one from a wealthy family, and there is no one in the family who holds the position, or has served as a servant......"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but label Song Qingming - "sycophant"!

There is no Haoqiang and a noble family, and that's it. The people selected by Fuliu County are all the most basic officials. It is also common for the above-mentioned people to be prestigious or wealthy, and refuse to let their children serve as such petty officials. However, the positions of the petty officials are usually passed down from generation to generation, often from father to son, and if there is a vacancy, they will definitely participate. However, even one of the twelve selected candidates failed to be admitted, and it was obviously Fuliuling's manipulation. It's not surprising to do tricks and feet, but it's so obvious......

And all the people despised him in their hearts!

If you want to please Zhang Han, that's an ordinary thing, there are flattering villains all the time, but if you are so reckless, I really don't know whether to praise Song Qingming's courage or 'admire' him for being reckless and resourceful......

“……

Fuliu County's speech, Prime Minister, look at ......"

It is said that such a small matter the size of a sesame mung bean will be disposed of by the county, that is. However, Fuliu County and Xindu were also subordinate to Anping State. Zhang Han also attached great importance to the "Examiner Order", and the official document of Fuliu County was unimpeded all the way and was delivered to the hands of Zhang Jian, the Shangshu, and was placed in front of Zhang Han by Zhang Jian.

To be honest, Song Qingming's move is very much in line with Zhang Handi's intentions. However, this guy is also too contrived. The earnestness of seeking officials gives people a deep impression, and at the same time, people can't help but get goosebumps.

"Ahem!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Han coughed - Song Qingming's guy is indeed very disgusting, but the situation is like this, and the morale can not be discharged. Zhang Han didn't want to reprimand him rashly. Moreover, the "Examiner Order" touched the interests of many people, and now that there are many officials in various places waiting and watching, Zhang Han can't help but set an example.

"Well, the general order commends Song Qingming......"

Zhang Han's face was full of seriousness, and his impatient words were overflowing. There are some things that Zhang Han can't do as he likes

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian held back a smile and replied in a low voice.

The following do not count towards the word count

ps: Sorry I couldn't help but fall asleep

Yesterday my grandfather was at his funeral. The day is that called a cold. Wearing cotton clothes or white bones. Suddenly, I felt a little cold in my heart......

Don't talk about it, I'm going to the round grave tomorrow. Let's hope it's a sunny day
