Chapter 355: Spending money
Coming? It's a bit tricky.
If you want to ask where there are many books, I recommend Wenyuan Pavilion first.
Before the Ming Dynasty was decided, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent the general Xu Da to be responsible for collecting books and establishing the Wenyuan Pavilion of the National Library.
After more than 200 years of twists and turns, the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty was civilized, and finally burned in the artillery fire of King Li Chuang.
Wenyuan Pavilion can be said to have been established with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and died with the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
In the first year of Hongwu, in 1368, Wenyuan Pavilion was established in Nanjing.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to send people to visit famous books all over the world to enrich the library.
After thirty or forty years of accumulation, in the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Zhu Di period, the collection of books in Wenyuan Pavilion can be described as considerable.
Zhu Di had the idea of repairing a book at this time, what kind of book should he repair?
The original words are: "Since the deed, the subset of the history has been bluntly spoken, and as for the words of the astronomical geography, yin and yang medicine, divination and monk Taoism skills, it has been compiled into a book, which is not tired of being vast." ”
In short, all subjects and all categories of books from all time should be included.
Set the tone, Zhu Di personally set out to set up an editorial department, the editor-in-chief includes one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant of the cabinet Xie Jin (the other two talents are Yang Shen and Xu Wei), as well as the "black-clothed prime minister" Yao Guangxiao, who assisted Zhu Di all the way to the throne, Zhu Di's favorite minister, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy Wang Jing, etc.
At that time, the editor-in-chief was called "president", and this group of luxurious "presidents" led more than 20 elite intellectuals, and a number of people who could write well were summoned to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion.
There were 2,139 people involved in the compilation, and several people died of exhaustion. finally compiled a "Yongle Canon".
The book has 22,877 volumes, 60 volumes, a total of 11,095 volumes, and 370 million words.
It preserves a large number of rich and valuable materials in philosophy, history, geography, language, literature, art, religion, science and technology before the Ming Dynasty.
This masterpiece predates the Encyclopedia edited by Diderot and D'Alambe and the famous Encyclopædia Britannica by more than 300 years.
Therefore, the Yongle Grand Ceremony is not only a treasure in China's cultural heritage, but also enjoys a lofty position in the history of world culture.
The so-called prosperous era of the canon, the completion of the "Yongle Canon" shows the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Soon after, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, built a new Wenyuan Pavilion in the capital, and began the "South-to-North Transfer" project. The collection of books in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing (including the emperor's masterpiece "Yongle Grand Canon") was "one for each edition", filled with 100 cabinets, and sent to Beijing for storage.
After continuous collection, according to the "Wenyuan Pavilion Bibliography" compiled in 1441, its collection of nearly 300 kinds of books, has reached more than 43,200 volumes, estimated at more than 100,000 volumes.
So far, the collection of books in the Ming Dynasty Wenyuan Pavilion can be said to have reached its peak.
The compilation of the Yongle Canon benefited from the foundation laid by Lao Zhu's Wenyuan Pavilion.
Nowadays, if you want to print books, Wenyuan Pavilion can't get around it.
But herein lies the difficulty.
It's one thing to run to find Lao Zhu, whether he is willing or not, the money must be exposed.
was known by Lao Zhu, what if he asked for money!
Headache.
"You two go find someone to pull the money! Ben Hou will find soldiers and horses to escort him. ”
"Books are printed first with ordinary books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the medical classics in the pharmacy can also be copied, and we will talk about it when we are busy."
"Yes, the subordinate (subordinate) retired."
The money was not spent, and there was another annoyance, which was very annoying.
Zheng Xiong came out of the sixteenth floor and went straight to the mansion to see what was going to cost money.
"Is there a place where the government needs to use money recently?"
Fu Cheng didn't know what he meant, looked at Zheng Xiong's frowning appearance, and replied cautiously.
"No, the autumn harvest is coming soon, the taxes are up, and there are not many places to spend money."
Autumn Harvest, Is There a Tax?
Zheng Xiong's eyes lit up, and he thought silently in his heart, and then said to Fu Cheng.
"What is the tax set for this year?"
"Rated at 330,000."
"I'll go to the sixteenth floor and get the money later."
"Ahh This ~ handed over first, there is no precedent! ”
Zheng Xiong smiled inexplicably.
"There is no precedent, so what is the problem with this house becoming this precedent?"
"No, but, will you hand it over in silver?"
Zheng Xiong's operation will not be rectified for Fu Cheng.
The rated tax is the rated tax, and the taxes collected may be varied, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.
But you are comfortable, and the above may not gladly accept it!
"Let's all fold the silver! This tax will not be levied this year, and it will be paid by the government. ”
Yes, the top may not agree now, and the bottom can't accept it.
Isn't this a way to cut off people's money?
"Please think twice, although it is good to fold silver, but you may not agree to it."
Zheng Xiong's eyes widened, and he blurted out.
"If you don't agree with it, you won't agree, what's going on below, Ben Hou paid the tax, don't just save them trouble."
"Wait, you mean~"
Fu Cheng replied to Zheng Xiong with a determined look, and Zheng Xiong also reacted from this moment.
Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult.
Those above and below must seek progress.
There may not be much opposition from above, but the financial route below may be cut off, and it is not impossible to make some trouble.
For others, it may be difficult at the moment.
Cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, which is endless.
But Zheng Xiongke is different, he is worried about how to spend the money! Isn't that what happened?
"Don't worry about it above, if it doesn't work, just buy it with money, allocate 100,000 yuan below, divide it equally, and distribute the year-end bonus."
To be honest, Zheng Xiong's operation is really unexpected.
Other people are tired and tired of being officials, and the previous Zheng Yiyan is a typical example.
Secretly got it from Zheng Xiong for some money.
After saving for a few years, I saved 100,000 yuan.
It can be seen how hard life is, this is still the foot of the Son of Heaven, the best place in the capital, not to mention other places.
Zheng Xiong is good, without blinking his eyes, he will pay the tax money on his behalf and pay benefits to employees.
A good official, a good boss, but easy to be hated.
Fu Cheng also didn't know whether Zheng Xiong's decision was good or bad.
However, he still persuaded a sentence.
"Master Hou, your construction of the canteen has caused a lot of turmoil, this time I am afraid that it will cause others to be unhappy, do you want to think twice."
Standing in the position of your own people, you shouldn't oppose it, and it's also offensive to say this yourself, but it's still necessary to remind you.
It really caused the displeasure of others, and he was definitely the worst one who was sprayed, and he was probably the one to blame.
As for Zheng Xiong, the medical marquis, there is an iron roll, let's do it! Anyway, you can't die.
"No, I just said to the outside world that Benhou is going to do tax reform, and this year's taxes and bonuses have been advanced in advance."
It's really numb!
Tax reform, such a big thing, you can come as soon as you say it, if you don't get it right, it's a group incident, I'm afraid you're too good to be idle!
