The King of Chu, who had just recovered from illness, seemed to have changed his other person. The things hesitated in the past became firm at this time. Huang Xie now had his own opinions on what he had done in the past. Huang Xie was naturally not very adapted to the style of the King of Chu. Zhaoshu, Zimo saw it and was happy in his heart. Only the old minister Song Yu felt sad. The king praised the prince for his filial piety in front of the court officials, and asked the prince to listen to the court's affairs, and established his power for the prince. Wang Shou was not long, and this was beyond the ordinary and he promoted the prince.

Qin State asked for Jing crossbows as important things, water wheels, sacrifices, finance is just internal affairs, and internal strategies adjustments. After these matters were agreed, Xiong Yuan took the initiative to talk about the military academy. He basically repeated the contents of his son's article: "... The army takes the military lieutenant as the main force. If the military lieutenant is strong, the army will be strong; if the military lieutenant is weak, the army will be weak; if the military lieutenant is brave, the many brave; if the military lieutenant is brave, the many brave; if the military lieutenant is timid, the many brave. Therefore, it is said: One person is a person who is good at fighting and teaches ten people; ten people learn to fight and teaches hundreds of people. Military yao is the place where war is taught."

The king suddenly mentioned the military academy that no one had heard of, and the important officials looked at Xiong Jing again - anything that no country had in each country was basically made by the prince. The countries in the world, Qin and Chu were clever, bifurcated, water wheels, and these two things that were very beneficial to the country were all made by the prince, and there was no doubt.

"Dare you ask the king, how many people do you want to teach a military academy to fight?" The military academy did not touch anyone's interests. This was the reason why the King of Chu advocated it. Huang Xie had no intention of denying it, just wanted to know how big it was and how much it would cost.

"The school is divided into two levels. Primary school students earn 1,500 a year, and majors earn 100 a year..." Before the King of Chu finished speaking, everyone was amazed. Primary school students earn 1,500 a year, which is too many.

"King, it's too expensive to earn 1,500 people in primary school year." Huang Xie knew the cost of Lantai Academy. If there are less than 50 people in Lantai every year, it costs 500 gold. If the military academy earns 1,500 people in military school every year, it costs tens of thousands of gold every year.

"Jing'er..." Xiong Yuan looked at his son, preparing to let him come forward and explain the military academy in detail.

"No," Xiong Jing agreed. "Lantai Academy is the teaching of the nobles. Everyone sleeps alone, everyone has servants, and everyone has cars, so the cost is naturally great. The military academy is the teaching of the army. Apart from meals and meat, there is no excessive cost. Students have no carriages, no slaves, and no bedrooms, but only food and clothing are served by their subordinates. It is only a cost of five thousand gold a year."

"Five thousand golds?!" Five thousand golds are Xiong Jing's estimated number, which is not much in Xiong Jing's opinion - he still doesn't know how much financial income of Chu State is in a year, and the one thousand gold rewarded last time confused him.

"Five thousand golds are too huge, Huang Xie has no choice but to help." Huang Xie turned his head to one side and his mouth raised.

"Cough cough..." Xiong Yuan coughed, and he also felt that five thousand gold was too much, so he looked at Mo with his eyes.

Zimo immediately understood, and he said, "Ling Yin thought how much gold should be?"

"If the water truck can make the land more productive and the land tax is more than that available to military academies in previous years." Huang Xie was not fooled and drew a cake.

"How much is the land tax last year?" Xiong Jing was deceived.

"Last year..." Huang Xie smiled quietly and said in a pretentious way: "Last year, the land tax was not far from 20,000 gold, so it was calculated for 20,000 gold."

"Twenty thousand gold?" Xiong Jing felt something was wrong. The agricultural tax of a country was only 20,000 gold. He remembered the agreement reached by his father and Huang Xie that the annual balance of the Grand Mansion was 16,000 gold to allocate the Lingyin Mansion. This money was still the royal palace, and the kings used it for the remaining ones. Why was the agricultural tax so small?

In fact, this is due to the reason why he did not understand the pre-Qin taxation and the reasons for the different times. In the pre-Qin tax system, the land rent collected by the countries is inevitable. The land rent is the agricultural tax of later generations. According to the proportion of the harvest, it is generally one tenth, and it can be used as a physical item or coins. However, in addition to land rent, there is also military tax.

What is military tax? Military tax is the food you eat, weapons, and armor you wear when you go to war. These are originally something you have to bring, but ordinary farmers cannot make a pair of armor and cast a spear, so they are made by the state and sent to you during the battle. The state does not pay the money, but you still pay the money, so you have to pay the money in advance every year. This is military tax.

The military taxes of various countries are different, some are heavy and some are light. Chu generally enters the taxes for cultivation. He moved eastward to negotiate peace with Qin. After the King of Chu ascended the throne, there were not many wars in Chu, which means Pengcheng (the second year of King Kaoli), rescued Zhao (the sixth year of King Kaoli), destroyed Lu (the seventh year of King Kaoli), and attacked Qin (the twenty-two years of King Kaoli). There was not much war, so the military tax was naturally less. The Yin Mansion collected every year, and the additional taxes of land, military taxes, and disposable household taxes, were less than 30,000 gold.

The royal family is different. The tax on the city is not large, and each person is thirty cents per year (less than twelve cents of Fu Ji), but only five or six thousand gold. The real big head is the mountains, seas, pools and lakes - salt produced, copper refined, gold harvested, and wood cut... As long as it does not grow in the farmland, it is all owned by the royal family. Guan Zhong's strategy for enriching the country, "only the officials, mountains and seas are worthy of the ears" is that the country produces salt and iron.

The power of Chu State was not concentrated, and the county magistrates were divided very much. Power was often equal to money, and the benefits of the mountains, seas, and the county magistrates were often intercepted by the subordinates, but no matter how they were intercepted, they had to pay a portion. Even so, the grand mansion had an income of more than 50,000 yuan each year. The royal family spent more than 10,000 yuan a year, and the royal family spent more than 30,000 yuan a year, and the remaining money was transferred to the Lingyin Mansion.

The tax system is like this, and the times are also related. After the Han Dynasty, the finances were always focused on agricultural taxes, and the profits of mountains, seas, ponds and lakes accounted for not much. However, before the Han Dynasty, especially in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the incomes of mountains, seas, ponds and lakes were always more important than agricultural taxes, and the Han Dynasty was basically equal. The reason was that the mountains, seas, ponds and lakes were completely destroyed after the Han Dynasty and there was no heavy profit to be collected.

He was still too young. Xiong Yuan thought of his son as he had fallen into Huang Xie's trap, but he didn't want to wake up his son. He had to slowly think about it and understand it.

Including his father, everyone's eyes looked at him differently. Xiong Jing suddenly realized that he was deceived. The collection of land tax was very extensive and the whole process was controlled by Lingyin's mansion. Who could tell more or less clearly. He was not in a hurry and said: "It is better to use the annual income of the Great Mansion as the limit, which is more than in previous years. It will be used for military academies."

The Grand Mansion was controlled by the royal family, and the Lingyin Mansion could not control it. Huang Xie was worried that the 16,000 gold that the King of Chu had promised had not been settled, so he hurriedly said: "The annual income of the Grand Mansion must be paid to one of the Lingyin Mansions."

Xiong Jing looked at his father, and saw that he did not express his feelings, and replied, "No matter how much the annual income is, the Grand Mansion must pay 16,000 yuan of the Lingyin Mansion every year. The rest of the cost is all the father and the left disciple is the master. Is it okay?"

"Ten six thousand gold?" Zhaoshu, the more Naojiu heard, the more he felt something was wrong. Zhaoshu said: "The surplus of the mansion is only eight thousand gold every year, how can there be ten six thousand gold?"

"The king has promised me that he will give the Yin Mansion 16,000 gold every year." Huang Xie did not look at Zhaoshu, but looked at the King of Chu. Of course, he knew that the 16,000 gold was a lion. Unexpectedly, the King of Chu agreed to make Xiong Jing the crown prince. Xiong Jing was also surprised when he heard this. He thought that the mansion had a surplus of 16,000 gold every year, but he didn't expect that the surplus was less than 8,000 gold. What should I do if there were 8,000 gold left?

Everyone looked at King Xiong Yuan of Chu, and Xiong Yuan said, "I have ordered Wang Yin to reduce the cost of the palace, so there may be thousands of gold. The inner palace has accumulated gold, silver, pearls and jade for decades, and there should be tens of thousands of gold, but..."

"The king, the inner palace has been accumulated by the previous kings of all generations. How can I give it to the imperial court?" Zhaoshu couldn't help but stand up. He pointed at Huang Xie and shouted: "In addition to the imperial court, I have given it to the imperial court over the years. Ten thousand sixteen thousand gold is almost equivalent to the land tax. What do he want to do with it?!"

Zhaoshu looked so eager to eat Huang Xie. He felt that Lingyin's mansion was a bottomless pit and he was not satisfied with how much money he gave. The most annoying thing was that he could not do anything. All the money was greedy for officials and guests. Huang Xie said: "All countries are determined to be strong, and they are all people-oriented. People from all countries join our Chu State and do not treat them well. How can I use it for my own use?"

"The gold and jade of the former kings and the richness of the people, I just want to increase your reputation as Huang Xiechun Shen!"

Zhaoshu said this very seriously, but Huang Xie was not afraid: "The heart of Xie is a good friend. It is not like the ministers in the court. They have only a false reputation, no matter how meat is not planned, and the corpse is in Yiyu..."

"You!" Zhao Shu was furious and was about to jump in front of Huang Xie and kick him, but he was a nobleman and could not be rude in everything. He did not use force in the end. Finally, he just blinked his sleeves and said, "A little man's ear!"

"A villain is mediocre, but he can destroy Lu and attack Qi and expand the territory of our Chu State. What is the use of noble people?" Huang Xie was arrogant.

"However, when the Qin army was like a field mouse, I saw the raccoon cat, and I was timid and trembled, and ran without fighting, laughing for the world." Zhaoshu despised again, and the King of Chu frowned.

"The king has already promised me 16,000 gold. This is not for Xie, but for the purpose of cultivating scholars and strengthening the country." Huang Xie couldn't tell the truth about the old stubborn people. Huang Xie immediately looked at Xiong Yuan and Xiong Jing. He took Xiong Jing's words and replied: "No matter how much the annual income is, the imperial palace must give 16,000 gold every year. The amount of the rest is, Huang Xie will not care about it."

Huang Xie replied, Zhaoshu was still going to speak, but Xiong Yuan stopped him. He said, "I have already promised Zixie, so there is no need to discuss this. The military academy costs all the money left the mansion, so it is OK. But in addition to cement, Jing'er also wants to refine huge iron and build sea boats. Can Zixie give it to me?"

"How many craftsmen do the eldest son need?" Huang Xie asked.

"A thousand people are enough." Xiong Jing said a number, and he added: "If you need to build a mansion and make utensils, you can pay for money."

There were tens of thousands of craftsmen in the building of the mansion, and it was fine to transfer a thousand people. Under Xiong Jing's expectation, Huang Xie said, "Yes." After answering, he saw Xiong Jing smiling, and was worried that he would still want it next time, and said, "There are only a thousand people, so there should not be more."

"Hmph!" Seeing that he was so small, Zhaoshu said, "I can give you five hundred craftsmen to my eldest son."

"I can also give you two hundred people." Naojiu knew what Jutien was and immediately agreed.

"I can also give you a hundred people." This is the Grand Priest Shen Yin-Ying.

"I can also give you fifty people." This is Taibu Guanji.
