Bring The System To Datang

Chapter 620

“Xiao Yi, how have you been in Zhuangzi recently?” Bi Gou arrived at Lijia Zhuangzi at noon.

Li Yi ate hot pot and mandarin duck pot accompanied by court ladies and eunuchs.

When Bi Gou arrived, the maid and the eunuch stood up.

They took away the big mandarin duck pot that Li Yi had eaten with, and brought up a small pot.

“Old Bi, have you eaten this morning?” Li Yi asked Bi Gou, looking at it.

“Eat.” Bi Gou sat down.

“What did you eat in the morning?” Li Yi continued to ask.

“Baozi, millet porridge, your shrimp oil side dish on Zhuangzi.” Bi Gou answered truthfully.

“Did you drink water in the morning? Did you drink too much? Did you drink tea?” Li Yi still had questions.

“Drink, not much.” Bi Go recalled.

“Don’t eat first, I will check your liver function at night.” Li Yi smiled.

Bi Gou sniffed, the bone broth and chicken broth in the mandarin duck pot smelled so fragrant and spicy.

“Lao Bi, go to the study to read.” Li Yi couldn’t bear it. Everyone ate the mandarin duck pot and watched by themselves.

“No, no.” Bi Gou gritted his teeth and will not eat or drink from now on.

So the little pot was removed, and Li Yi sat next to the big pot again.

“Xiao Yi, how much tax did you collect from the Ministry of Household in just one month?” Bi Gou couldn’t eat, so he chatted with Li Yi.

“It should have been more than two months for the Ministry of Household Finance last year.” Li Yi guessed.

“Huh? Yes, more than two months, 1.8 million yuan. All Datang began to collect taxes. One month is not more than the income of previous years.”

Bi Gou became excited when he talked about money.

“Starting from next year, the vegetables in the greenhouse will not be taxed once every ten. The people of Jingzhao Mansion will set aside land for special greenhouses.

Greenhouse vegetables can no longer be sold at high prices. Don’t think about cucumbers with hundreds of dollars apiece.

Excluding the cost of the greenhouse, the profit that the people make… is still considerable. ”

Li Yi wanted to say less, but changed his words, it is impossible to be less.

Bi Gou sniffed again: “It’s good for people to have money. They buy a lot of things and sell more things from outside. I collect taxes. Why do you think the whole Datang collects taxes together?”

“The household members have learned well, and this year they will be transferred to the prefectures to teach, and the details of local tax collection will be perfected before they can try it the next year.”

Li Yi is not in a hurry to collect taxes all over the country. As long as Jingzhao Mansion starts to collect taxes, the money will be enough to support Datang’s current financial expenditures.

Thinking of collecting taxes in Jingzhao Mansion to support the national finances, Li Yi asked Bi Gou about expenditures.

“Jingzhao Mansion collects taxes, foreign merchants are holding receipts, and the court should give them all the benefits they should give.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion were responsible for the consumption to provide tax, and the household department had to allocate money.

Mainly to build roads. The main roads leading to Chang’an in the surrounding 20 counties are not bad…”

Li Yi asked Bi Gou to spend money to explain fairness to the other party.

He said that the main road needs to be repaired again, it is not suitable for building cement roads, it is too expensive.

In addition to the county seat, all counties are located in villages, and the roads from the village to the county seat need to be repaired to reach the village.

Part of the funds will also be allocated to subsidize low-income families for repairs and new houses.

The money for repairs is allocated directly, and part of the court is responsible for the money for building a new house, and some residents pay for it themselves.

The imperial court pays for the part that is paid for by oneself, and the residents pay it back slowly on a monthly basis, without interest.

The rivers and ditches should be cleaned up and the small rivers should be widened.

It is ensured that small boats can be carried on the tributaries of the rivers of Jingzhaofu to the village canals.

Cement can be used to build a small wharf so that people without livestock can transport supplies by boat in seasons other than winter.

Bi Gou was in charge of listening. The two court ladies and two eunuchs next to them put down their chopsticks and took turns to remember what Li Yi said.

“The people who have fields in Jingzhao Mansion, don’t plant hemp anymore. They all plant cotton. They need strategically to avoid mediocrity. They will be purchased by the imperial court and the price will be maintained.”

Li Yi followed his thoughts and mentioned another thing that would touch the interests of others, and it was mediocre and canceled.

The people no longer spend extra labor time and hand in hemp and silk, do not plant hemp and mulberry trees, and do not raise silkworms.

All are changed to cotton, and the cotton seeds from Li Jiazhuang and Liulizhuang are enough.

Bi Gou looked around, feeling very guilty. He lowered his voice: “According to the people, the cotton is separated, and there are large families with a lot of land.

They have switched to growing crops. This year, 120 households of them participated in greenhouse vegetables. ”

He is familiar with the data, and he sends people to stare at how many vegetables they produce in the greenhouse, and of course he knows who has grown them.

“You don’t need to worry about farming. The crops you grow are not eaten by everyone. In winter, the Yellow River in Chang’an will freeze and dry, and there will be little food.”

Li Yi is not going to deal with the large family’s land mergers for the time being, take it slowly, and can’t run away.

Jingzhao Mansion wanted to annex the land again, and there was no chance.

Lijiazhuangzi lends money to others in another way, including buying clothes, seeing a doctor, buying cooking oil, and so on.

The people paid it back slowly, but if something unexpected happened, the exchange period was extended and the interest was reduced or exempted.

He always finds work, and the people can live without selling land, and their income has increased.

Otherwise, why would the people give him a memorial tablet for longevity? The longevity tablet is not set up for you to look good.

Bi Gou sniffed again and swallowed: “Every year, a special official is arranged to sit in Henan Prefecture, so I am afraid that Chang’an will not be able to eat.”

He understood this situation, and Wei Zhigu went to Henan to investigate it, and therefore offended Yao Chong.

He returned from Henan Province last year, before reorganizing the warehouses in Henan Province.

Changan ran out of food, so the emperor took a large group of people to Luoyang for dinner.

Luoyang has a canal, so the Yellow River is not obligatory to support transportation.

“Old Bi, there hasn’t been a big war that requires the imperial appropriation recently, 1.8 million yuan, tell the people, Jingzhao Mansion will invest in this.”

Li Yi hasn’t eaten a bite of food until now, and just chats.

“Huh? Give it all?” Bi Gou pumped his heart.

“You said that you would spend 1.8 million to repair roads and houses. When it is really done, you don’t go out together.

This is called a special fund only. If you don’t believe it, it won’t take two days to make sure that someone will use the money if you don’t believe it. ”

Li Yi shrugged and told Bi Gou not to quickly find a way out of the money, and everyone ate them one bite at a time.

Bi Gou’s mouth moved, and he bowed his head and sighed. The Household Department was still in charge of the money, not his own money. Others would be worried about it, that’s right.

“If you set up the project, others can’t handle the money. Now the land hasn’t been transformed, and you need money in an emergency, so you can embezzle it.”

Li Yi gives an idea.

“Didn’t you say that the special funds are dedicated.” Bi Go looked for something wrong.

“You find the labor union, and transfer the money to the labor union, and the labor union transfers the money to other places.

The Workers’ Union took over the task of repairing roads and houses. As long as the project is completed, the money will be spent on the right place.

The money in other places did not say that it was earmarked for use only, and when it became available, it was transferred to the Workers’ League. ”

Li Yi explained the method of embezzling the earmarked funds.

Bi Gou thinks about it: “Do they ask to do part of the work to settle the money once? How can they move it?”

“That is, the labor union has a deposit, you move the deposit. If the money is not enough, I have it, and I will borrow the labor union to increase the deposit.”

Li Yi still has a way to deal with it.

“Can the deposit money be moved?” Bi Gou grasped the key point.

“No money should be moved. The previous Ministry of Households has been moved less? You want to establish a perfect system. The Ministry of Households issues national bonds, and I will buy them.”

According to Li Yi’s strict requirements, if the imperial court pays out the national debt if the government does not move it, it is not enough.

“What is a national debt?” Bi Gou heard the new term.

“The debt is high.” Li Yi gave an idiom.
