Zhang Zongxian decided to take the contents of the checked fish scale book and sort them out with his disciples using tables from previous lives.

Since the tax amount in the Ming Dynasty is a fixed amount of regular tax plus various assessments, we should first sort out the fixed amount, write a new land deed for each family, and write down all the fixed taxes that should be paid. In this way, how much regular tax should each family pay?

It is clear that provincial officials allocate money randomly.

As for showdowns and labor, now that we don’t have the power, we can only implicitly divide people into acres. First, build private granaries at a fair price, and buy the grain in the hands of the people at a fair price. So that the people don’t need to be exploited and can directly use cash to settle taxes, or directly

Let the Fair Price Granary pay taxes on behalf of the people. All kinds of grain stocks in the county are also placed in the Fair Price Granary, so that the officials cannot have direct access to the granary.

Private banks are being established to provide special small loans to the people to help them upgrade their farm tools. The banks will customize new farm tools and cattle, and then lend them directly to the people at very low interest rates to prepare for the large-scale promotion of steam pumps in the future.

Opening a bank requires you to be very professional, so train Su'e and let her learn accounting work with four maids. The bank is still in its infancy anyway, and there isn't that much business. You can also teach them slowly. Now that you have the manpower

If you don't mind, let's open a cheap granary and a bank together first.

Thinking of this, he called Su'e over. As soon as Su'e entered the study, Zhang Zongxian asked her to sit in his arms.

"Master Su'e wants to leave an important matter to you. That is to open a bank to be responsible for the purchase of grain in the county, collect the grain from the people and exchange it for them in money. And also provide loans to the people.

Farm tools and cattle.”

"Master Su'e has never done this before! I don't know how to lend money. Besides, as a woman, how can I show my face outside?"

"It won't be okay. I will teach you slowly. Now I lack people I can trust. You must study before you can come out and help me. You also need to take Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and the others to study with you. I will also ask Ding Bo to help you.

Yes, Su'e, please remember that people, regardless of gender, must have great ambitions. They must do meaningful things when they come to this world.

Take this affordable granary as an example. In good years, we will buy the people’s grain at a higher price than the market price, so that the grain will not be cheap and hurt farmers. In the millennium, we will sell grain at a low price to the people, so that the people will not be exploited by profiteers.

.The bank also brought good farm tools to the people and improved them

Their output. If the people are in urgent need, the bank can also lend money and food to prevent those vampires from using usury to harm the people and force them to destroy their families. Doing this will save countless people. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Su'e, you will save countless people in the future."

"Su'e listens to the master and does whatever he asks. It's just that Su'e is stupid and is afraid of disappointing the master."

"Don't be afraid. As the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first. I can teach you in bed at night!"

"Master, it's broad daylight."

"Haha, starting from tomorrow, you will go to the county to learn reading and writing in the morning, and I will teach you arithmetic in the evening."

After arranging Su'e, he called Ding Bo over and sorted out how much money he had now. Ding Bo calculated that he now had 6,000 taels of cash, mainly the 500 taels of gold contributed by Huang Shilang. But he would soon give it to Ma

The city is about to be built. It will cost 1,300 taels to build the entire horse market. Then

It also costs 1,000 taels to borrow various equipment from the military side. There is no need to invest in the operation of the horse market, after all, it has already started to generate income, and it is only necessary to supervise the accounts. Zhang Zongxian himself is on the horse market side.

What he paid to build was considered private, and the land had been allocated to his name.

After confirming the cash flow, Zhang Zongxian told him again that Ding Bo should find a courtyard near the county government and transform it into a school. The windows should be brighter, and there should be a wall on the podium to hang various teaching aids. He should also build a large oil lamp hanging.

Get up. This school must be completed as soon as possible.

He also told Ding Bo about opening a bank and a cheap granary. He asked him to renovate the granary in the county and find a shop in the county to prepare for opening a bank. Ding Bo first assisted Su'e in managing these. He wanted to open it as soon as possible.

Don't be afraid to hire professionals with high salaries first, and then learn as you go.

"It will take a lot of capital for me to build the bank and the granary."

"I have my own way to deal with the capital. Isn't this horse market about to open soon? Those corrupt officials have been greedy a lot over the years, so I can use it to let them buy shares. Then I will ask Qian Dianshi to handle it. In addition, let those

The merchants and craftsmen who cooperate with us have sent their sons, nephews, and I want to recruit apprentices. When you say this, you can imply that these apprentices will have official positions in the future."

"Yes, sir"

"Uncle Ding, you have worked hard these days. After I train these disciples, I will arrange some helpers for you."

"Master, this is what a slave should do. It must be gratifying to see an old master like you in heaven."

"I thought what I had done in the past made my father so angry that he finally left the capital in despair. I secretly vowed to return to the capital in glory, to honor my ancestors, and to be a supreme minister."

"The master will definitely become a very popular minister. When the time comes, I will be happy even if I die from exhaustion."

"Uncle Ding, you have to be careful not to overwork your body. It's still a long road. Also, Uncle Ding, do you know that my father has a relationship with that father-in-law?"

"I know, the old slave did everything. It was Eunuch Wei in the palace."

"What Eunuch Wei, that Eunuch Wei?"

"It's Wei An Wei Gong who is under the command of the eunuch Bingbi." It's not Wei Zhongxian. The people under the eunuch Bingbi are quite powerful. When Ding Bo is ready in a few days, he will arrange for Ding Bo to return to the capital.

Send a gift to Eunuch Wei. We cannot cut off contact with this supporter. If not, we should write to Eunuch Wei now to express our gratitude and prepare a generous gift.

"Can I send a letter to Eunuch Wei now? Is it appropriate to send a banknote directly?"

"Master, I have a way to deliver these."

"Then I will write a letter to thank Eunuch Wei for his support. You can also prepare two thousand taels of silver notes and a hundred kilograms of milk wine to send to Eunuch Wei. By the way, I want to ask what the father-in-law named Wei Zhongxian is doing in the palace now? I have heard about it.

I will also give 1,000 taels to Eunuch Wei Zhongxian."

After explaining to Uncle Ding, he called Qian Dianshi and went to the horse market together.

When we arrived at the horse market, we saw a very lively scene. There is no city tax in Qingjian County, and there is no extortion by officials, so the business is fair. Many businessmen come to the horse market in Qingjian County to trade. Zhang Zongxian took Qian Dianshi on a tour

Later, he said to Qian Dianshi:

"Qian Dianshi, how is the horse market?"

"The county magistrate, this horse market is really a good deal with huge profits."

"Isn't Qian Dianshi unwilling to accept it? You are not part of such a good deal!"

"The county magistrate is joking, the county magistrate single-handedly facilitated this horse market, and all it took was your money."

"Qian Dianshi is not a solitary person. I can help everyone join in and earn money together, but I have a condition. That is, you should not participate in tax matters in the future. In the future, a grain stack will be established.

The Qingjian County local taxes will be collected by these two banks, and they will also be escorted to the border wall. You can just sit back and enjoy the achievements."

"What should the county magistrate do with the expenses of apportioning corvees and running the yamen in addition to the regular tax?"

"The imperial court's apportionment is also collected by them. As for the imperial court's corvee, all the taxes are apportioned to the entire county's fields. The money for the yamen's operation is first set up tax collectors in this horse market. Businesses must be contracted. If there is no contract, all transactions will be confiscated. The tax collectors will

The tax is collected according to the contract, and the tax is 3% of the transaction amount. A special tax class will be set up here to combat

Tax evasion. Afterwards, when buying and selling houses, fields and people, you have to go to the yamen to sign a contract and pay 1% of the deed tax. Without a contract, no transaction will be recognized. Those who do business in the county will be taxed according to the size of their shop, divided into three categories: large, medium and small.

5 taels a year, medium ones 10 taels a year, large ones 15 taels a year. Those without pavements earn one tael a year.”

"What about this horse market, your Majesty?"

"As long as the gentry in the yamen are upright and gentry, they can invest money to buy shares, but the officials and officials in the yamen are given priority to buy shares. 30% of the shares are priced at 30,000 taels of silver. Dividends are paid once a year. If you don't want the shares, you can sell them to me. This horse market is at least a year old.

If you earn 50,000 to 60,000 taels, the annual dividend is at least 1 tael per share. You can let them take a good look at it and think about it yourself."

Zhang Zongxian asked Qian Dianshi to contact him, while he went to Hu Biao and told him about tax collection.

"Isn't this all yours, county magistrate? You still need to pay taxes. Many businessmen who have no protection from the big boss in the court do business on their own. That one has paid taxes."

"This tax must be paid. If they don't pay, it's them, and we must pay. Without this tax, how can the court pay the officers and soldiers? If you don't pay the taxes and wait for the foreigners to come, what's the use of earning so much money? Won't they all be robbed?

!If everything comes from the fields

Come on, what do the people in that kind of land eat? You have also seen that the people in northern Shaanxi are barely starving to death. Do you have to provoke a civil uprising? You must understand that I am determined to live in Chaotang, a small Qingjian County, and you can't let me go.

Just listen to my arrangements."

"You are a stupid kid. Please listen to the county magistrate's arrangements from now on."

"How many people have gone to the grassland now with wine on credit?"

"It turned out that all my brothers came out to do it on their own. Either a few people joined forces or they went back to their hometown to bring friends and nephews, and they all went out with wine. Some of the original friends from the road also came. The county magistrate still remembers the people he met on the road.

That robber who blocked the road? That boy also came to see me. I saw that he was still wanted by the court, so he didn't agree." Zhang Zongxian was deeply impressed by that young man. His aloof demeanor was very different.

You contact that young man and bring him to see me. He is also your old brother and if he is obedient, you can support them more and let them recruit knights on the grassland to form a caravan. Weapons and horses can be provided. But they must be obedient.

"Young man, I understand. I will ask the brothers who are willing to take over their wives and children, and the children will be your apprentices."

After explaining some details to Hu Biao, Zhang Zongxian returned to the backyard of the county government office.
