Chapter fifty-seven flags

"Today, I will personally teach the two flags of "Xiaoqi" and "Hu Ben", and will be the first person in each army." After the armor was awarded, Li Yu began today's highlight and awarded the two battalions of generals.

The cavalry camp is called "Xiaoqi", and a black wolf is embroidered on it, with an indomitable momentum, and the personal guard camp is called "Tiger Ben", and a black tiger is embroidered on it, with an invincible magnificence.

In the solemn silence, the two soldiers ranked first in the guard camp and the cavalry battalion came on stage to take over the brand new flag. The moment the two soldiers raised the flags, the soldiers' excited shouts resounded throughout the sky.

"The cavalry is mighty."

"The tiger is invincible."

Since ancient times, there have been very few troops that have truly been identified as military camps, and the State of Zhao has been unique since its founding. Even the personal guards of the generals were named "* Family Army". In this Warring States Period, when military power was concentrated in the hands of kings, the leading generals were replaced very frequently, and the army would not have a fixed number, but were divided by regional soldiers.

For Zhao people who have a martial arts complex, honor is something more important than life. When they saw the flag holding the hand of their comrades, a glorious look appeared on their faces, and the temperament of the entire army quietly changed invisibly. With glory combined with my body, I will die generously for the glory on my shoulders.

Even Li Yu, the creator, would not know what kind of combat effectiveness these two armies will burst out in the future. He just thought the banner of popular military camp was not good, and changed to a more powerful banner, which would make his opponents afraid of seeing it.

"What are you looking at? I won't go back to training. If there are only a dozen winners in the competition next month, the bounty will be deducted. Such a record, how can you call the name of the cavalry?" As soon as Li Yu left, Xu Zhan shouted at the soldiers who were excitedly watching the flag. The result just now made him very dissatisfied. He was so despised by his elder brother in advance and was guessed steadily. This was simply a slap in the face. If he didn't add some information to these guys, he would still do this next time, where would he put his face?

"promise."

After experiencing the exciting moment just now, the soldiers of the Knight Camp burst into a promise, hoping to show their heroic spirit in the next month, not for money or victory, but for the name of the Knight.

"You have heard it?" Xu An, who brought the soldiers of the personal guard camp back to the next camp, did not say anything aroused, but just asked the more than a thousand soldiers in front of him indifferently.

"Tiger beside me, I am invincible."

"train."

When Li Yu returned to the mansion with two hundred personal guards, he heard Chunyuli's report. Sicheng Ling Gongsun Mao, who was in charge of literary affairs in the city guards, was waiting for him in the mansion.

"My deputies from the Sicheng Order Gongsun Mao met the Chengwei." Seeing Li Yu come in, Gongsun Mao bowed and bowed. The other party was not only his immediate boss, but also a hot newcomer in the Zhao court a few days ago. One word can determine one's life.

"The Sicheng Order does not have to be too polite. I wonder what it is for me to come to see me?" In addition to the premier of the City Guards, Li Yu met this Sicheng Order for the second time. He never went to the City Guards' Mansion. Anyway, he just needs to maintain the public security in the city, and the administrative affairs will be handled by the civil servants.

"The taxes in Handan City last month have been collected. Please check it out."

After taking the thick bamboo slips, Li Yu looked at them and felt a little troubled when he saw those difficult numbers, but he still took a rough look. Today is the first day of February. The Chengwei Mansion will summarize the taxes last month every month. He, the Chengwei, always knows the general things, otherwise it would be really unreasonable.

"The Chengwei, the city gate tax collected by Handan City last month was 596 gold and 530 coins, and the transaction tax was 36,885 gold and 915 coins, totaling 37,482 gold and 445 coins."

After hearing Gongsun Mao's words, Li Yu, who had not cared very much, shook his hand, then looked at the bamboo slips in his hand carefully, and recognized the numbers above.

It’s a thing of Xiami. Li Yu didn’t expect that the tax revenue of his department would be so high. This is too exaggerated.

The taxes in Handan City are so huge in one month. If they are converted into the 21st century, they will be nearly 200 million yuan. Let’s not talk about the city gate tax. The transaction tax is more than 300,000 yuan. According to the tax system of one out of ten, the transaction volume of Handan City is more than 300,000 yuan per month. Handan City is worthy of being the "Central City" in the "Central Country". Its business is so developed, even if it has just experienced the war.

"Ahem, Sicheng Order, how to deal with such taxes?"

"Last month, Handan City has a total of 32,300 gold."

"Forehead."

After Gongsun Mao said this, Li Yu suddenly remembered that he also knew something about the official system of Zhao State.

Since the founding of the State of Zhao, under the vigorous reform of King Zhao, the "Super Plan" system was established. Based on the results of the "Super Plan", the state rewarded and punished officials, promoted officials, increased their titles, and awarded titles. They were reward measures for effective officials, and exempted officials, demoted them, and received punishments were inevitable fates for incompetent officials.

The so-called "calculation" refers to "calculation book", which records the number of people in the area under the jurisdiction of a certain official, the number of land reclamation, the money and grain entry and exit, and the thieves' lawsuits and other matters. There are two "calculation book". At the beginning of the year, the central government of Zhao budgeted the situation in various places and evaluated the self-evaluation of each official. The two are relatively compared and are collected into the accounting book, which is in the hands of the King of Zhao. At the end of the year, officials in various places will register the actual completion of their jurisdiction and submit it to the central government, and the central government will approve it based on the budget. Those who complete the scheduled plan will be qualified, otherwise they will be dereliction of duty.

Ordinary areas are planned once a year, and Handan City is the capital of Zhao State, and its taxes account for two out of ten of the Zhao State, so it is planned once a month.

The most important thing is that as long as officials complete the above plan, the excess tax can be freely intercepted by about 50%. This is an important reason why Zhao State became famous in the country after more than a hundred years of its founding. In other words, Li Yu, as the city magistrate, could intercept more than 2,500 gold. Of course, it is impossible for Li Yu to take so much money alone, so he naturally had to share it with the people below, otherwise if he would take it alone, then who would still obey your orders?

"Sicheng Ling, how did it be distributed in the past?" Li Yu closed the bamboo slips in his hand, picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea, and suddenly found that the tea that was not delicious these days had a sweet feeling.

"General Pang Yan, the Shangrenchengwei, collected 50%. "Li Yu did not ask clearly, and Gongsun Mao knew what he meant and talked about the custom of Shangrenchengwei.

"Then let's follow the previous example." Li Yu said lightly after a meal of the teacup in his hand.
