Chapter 146 Rejuvenation Plan

Five days later, it was mid-October, and it was the time when the counties under the Beihai Kingdom paid taxes. Because the King of Beihai was assassinated before, the matter of taking over the new Beihai was not yet started.

Later generations said: It is difficult for a rich man to have money. He also said: It is not omnipotent to have money, but it is absolutely impossible to have money. Nowadays, troubled times are about to arouse talents and ask for money, summon troops and horses and ask for money, make weapons and equipment, buy enemies and reward meritorious officials. Even if you want to build some construction for the Beihai country, reform the county government is also money. Therefore, if He Bai wants to make a difference in troubled times, he has to think about the amount of money he can control.

First, there is a summary of the above-mentioned plans of each county. He Bai waited to come to the above-mentioned planner Shi Pengqi, gathered Cao Gongsun Fang and the management documents and financial expenditures, and sorted out the above-mentioned plans of each county. Then he summoned the above-mentioned plans of each county and asked: "How much money and grain does each county have in total this year?"

Peng Yu reported to the right and righteousness: "Because Xia Mi was occupied by the thief, Duchang and Jiaodong were harmed by the thieves, and the tax revenue was even smaller than last year. The land tax was 30 to one tax, and the grain was 320,000 shi. The treasury tax was 55 cents per hectare, which amounted to more than five million. The household tax was 200 cents per household, which amounted to more than two hundred cents per quid. The treasury was 300 cents per quid, which amounted to more than sixty-three million. The treasury was 26 cents per child, which amounted to more than five million."

"The tuition of each male and female is 63 cents, which is more than 34 million yuan. The tuition of each person is 120 yuan, and the merchants and slaves are doubled, which is more than 69 million yuan. In the end, each male member of the Fu family needs to serve one month of free labor every year. If you want to be exempted from corvee service, you need to pay 600 yuan in taxes, which is more than 120 million yuan."

"There are more than one million yuan in salt tax, more than six million yuan in alcohol tax, more than one million yuan in iron tax, more than three million yuan in vehicles and ship tax, more than two million yuan in silk tax, more than six million yuan in customs tax, more than six million yuan in livestock tax, more than three million yuan in fishing and hunting tax, more than one million yuan in mountain and forest tax, and more than one million yuan in mines."

"The total amount of grain is 320,000 stones, and the money is more than 370 million. These money will be divided equally with the King of Beihai and the Marquis of the Central Army, and half of them will be controlled by the Prime Minister. Because King of Beihai died, his name will be taxed to invest 220,000 stones of grain, and the money will be more than 260,000 million. One should be divided into three, and the Grand Secretary, Shaofu and Guozhong will be respectively calculated."

He Bai sighed secretly that Beihai is indeed a county, and the annual regular tax revenue is so much that it can support a large army of 40,000 or 50,000 people. And so many taxes in Beihai, including He Bai, only account for 30% of them. And Beihai King alone accounts for 70% of them. It seems that Zheng Bu did the right thing to secretly kill Beihai King in advance.

In history, Cao Cao specially excavated wealthy tombs and stole burial objects to make money in order to get money in order to get money in order to assassinate the vassal kings. It seems that it is a marten. However, the vassal kings have no more kills, and robbers can rob more tombs, and he is not as good as Cao Cao in this regard. Fortunately, as long as the Beihai Kingdom develops well, I believe that a lot of taxes will be available in two or three years.

He Bai carefully considered various taxes and couldn't help but sigh that at this time, each household had to pay an average of about 3,100 yuan a year. An ordinary household had a labor value of about 20,000 yuan a year, but it had to pay a tax rate of 15.5%. The remaining money and grain were just enough for the family's food expenses, and there was no spare money to buy new clothes, households and other things.

Moreover, this is a normal national tax and local tax. The bearer is also calculated by ordinary people with industries. If people with less than 50 acres of land meet greedy prefects and ministers, not to mention other taxes such as loss or freight, they can go bankrupt if they are levied for three months.

After all, it is still that there are too few things that make money in this era. The harvest of a year is all about looking at the food grown in the ground. If God does not do beauty, it will be a miserable day of suffering. If you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters again, you will basically be unable to survive and rebel.

It seems that reducing the agricultural tax alone is not a good thing, because the main taxes at this time were the cap tax, military service tax and corvee tax. These three taxes accounted for as much as 78.5% of the total tax. The land tax of more than 9 million mu only requires 320,000 stones of grain, which is only about 50 million yuan in total.

If this continues, families with land and fewer populations will become richer, while families with less land and more populations will become poorer. Eventually, bankruptcy will be gone due to the increase in population, and eventually become refugees and become an unstable factor for the country. As the world is about to be in chaos, money will become more and more valuable. The value of grain and silk will become higher and higher. It seems that it is time to propose the "Decree of the Distribution of People to the Acres".

Based on the land of more than 9.6 million mu of land in Beihai, based on the general yield of two stones and five dou of grain per mu, even if the rotation is produced, there is more than 8 million stones of grain. With the tax and tax of four dou per mu, there will be at least 1.3 million stones of grain harvest per mu. Not only is the value less than the captive tax, it will also reduce the burden on the people, making the people happy and the approval rating soar. With so much food, there is no need to worry about anything in the future.

But I am just a new arrival and cannot be trusted and supported by the people in Beihai. It is not easy to attack the wealthy families with huge land properties. Moreover, this year's taxes have been completed, so I can only talk about them when the taxes are next year.

He Bai coughed lightly and said, "Because there are still tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves in Beihai and there are tens of thousands of troops from Xiyuan who need to be supported. Even after the Yellow Turban thieves are pacified, hundreds of millions of dollars are still needed to ensure the people. Therefore, I will ask the court to stay in the Beihai National Middle School this year. I think the court will agree. Therefore, the matter of the court can be temporarily suspended."

Peng Yu deeply worshiped: "The prime minister is willing to intercept the affairs of the people in the country, and he is a true and righteous king."

He Bai smiled and pointed at Peng Yu and said, "I didn't expect you to flatter me, but it shows that you are not so square in character."

Unexpectedly, Peng Yu said in a serious manner: "The plan to enter the court is still a major event for a country. If it is light, it will be dismissed at least, and it will be exiled at worst, and it will be even more likely to be imprisoned and died. The prime minister is willing to temporarily intercept the affairs of the people in the country. If this is a possible crime, he should be praised and thanked. If it is a matter of other matters, he will not flatter you."

He Bai was bored by Peng Yu, so he had to turn to others and asked: "How much money and grain are there in the warehouse? If all the taxes this year are left behind, how much money and grain can be used."

Peng Xu reported: "There are more than 2,500 officials in the Beihai country, with an annual salary of 380,000 stones and a discount of 75 million yuan. The soldiers have 6,900 people, 130,000 stones of food per year, and the generals have an annual salary of 5,000 stones, and various miscellaneous expenses of 20,000 coins, totaling 56 million yuan; there are also 30 million yuan of military expenditures, totaling 16,100 yuan."

"The warehouse retained 15,000 stones of grain last year and the money was 13 million. If the Prime Minister paid the annual salary of officials and generals in the form of money, the Prime Minister would have 140,000 stones of grain, and 190 million yuan could be used."

He Bai calculated silently that the 5,000 troops in the army would need 100,000 stones of grain a year, and 5,500 strong people would also need the same food supply, which would be 40 million yuan. Nearly 8,000 war horses and pack horses in the army would be a big bag that must be carried. A war horse was calculated based on the cost of three soldiers, and a pack horse was calculated based on the cost of one and a half soldiers, and a feeding fee would be 80 million yuan a year.

If another 20 million yuan of emergency is left, then next year, there will be only 140,000 stones of grain and about 50 million yuan of expenses left. Even if the military spending when leaving Beijing is 50 million yuan, it will only be 100 million yuan. What can this amount of money do? It just settled 50,000 Yellow Turban Thieves.

He Bai didn't even hammer his thigh hard. Damn, I used to think that there was a lot of taxes, but now I see that the money is pitifully small. The robbery comes faster. One county can grab one or two hundred million yuan, and seventeen counties will be more than three billion yuan. If there are more than three billion yuan in hand, that's a lot.

In the past, they were robbed thieves, so they received money quickly. They wanted to pay their wages. Fortunately, they didn't do it at that time, and it was transferred to the land-giving system, otherwise they would go bankrupt within two years. It seems that they would follow the local customs, implement the conscription system, and force the military service. As long as they are better to the soldiers, I believe they can also gain the support of the soldiers.

He Bai suddenly thought of something and asked: "The King of Beihai has no queen, and the Beihai fiefdom will be removed. I don't know that the King of Beihai has money, treasures and food left behind in all dynasties."

Peng Yu browed and said loudly: "Even if there are a lot of money and food in the North Sea kings in all dynasties, they will be taken to the Shaofu for the emperor's branch. The prime minister must not be greedy for him, so as not to cause disaster."

He Bai was embarrassed by Peng Yu's words, so he threw out the "Beihai National Development Project Plan" written in the past few days. Peng Yu hesitated and looked at the blank paper and saw that it was written on it. The plan for the construction of four vehicles and roads between the counties in Beihai; river channel silting and reinforcement, pond renovation plan; farmland water conservancy irrigation renovation plan; school building, three-year compulsory education plan for the whole people to read; hospital building, training doctors, and improving environmental sanitation plan.

He Bai pointed at Peng Yu and asked: "I am going to complete this "Beihai Xingguo Project Plan" within three years. Shouzheng thought how much money and food would be needed for this plan to be completed?"

Peng Qi saw the plan in his hand, his eyes shone, his breathing was rapid, and he murmured to himself. After a while, he asked in panic: "Xiang...Xiangjun, are you really going to complete this plan to develop the country within three years?"

He Bai snorted lightly, and even his name changed from an ordinary prime minister to a respected prime minister, so he said, "As long as you have money, why can't this mere plan be completed? I have a second three-year plan in my mind, and the third three-year plan, so I'm just afraid that you will drag me down."

Peng Xuan bowed to He Bai in fear and fear, and said, "Your Majesty, please wait." As he said that, he hurriedly ran away. Not long after, nearly thirty people, including Zheng Xuan and Zhang Zhao, who were in charge of the affairs of Yu Cao, all came to the conference hall.

After Zheng Xuan and others met He Bai, they looked at He Bai for no reason. He Bai spread his hands and said that he did not call them by himself, so he looked at Peng Yu again. Peng Yu cleared his throat and said, "I am fortunate to have the article "The Beihai Restoration Project Plan" written by Xiangjun. I felt very moved and excited, and I was eager to appreciate it with you."

After saying that, he started to recite the various plans for the prosperity of the country on the paper in his hand with the sudden sound of Yin and Yang. Soon after, everyone changed from initial confusion to fanaticism.

During the Han Dynasty, when governing the country and counties, they often governed inaction, reducing the exploitation of the people and became good officials. They set up schools, demonstrate Confucianism, recommend virtuous people, commend good deeds, help the poor, crack down on tyrants, and cultivate land and practice Taoism as virtuous kings. However, they have never made such a big deal.

He Bai's package of plans covers almost all aspects of work that Xianjun needs to do, and the scope is larger and wider. If all the plans can be implemented successfully within three years, the Beihai country will really flourish.

Everyone was silently thinking about the possibility and success of He Bai's plan. Guan Ning, who has always been taciturn, first asked: "The Prime Minister wants to call a teacher to build a school, and compulsory education for the whole people of Beihai to learn literacy, money is easy, but where do teachers and books come from?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone suddenly woke up. At this time, the books were mostly collected in the hands of the gentry and the great scholars, and the people and the poor scholars mostly borrowed and copied the collections of the gentry. In order to borrow books, they sometimes spent a lot of effort and sometimes they had to rely on the gentry's command to do things in order to get permission to have a list of books.

If you want to let the whole people of Beihai study, you must at least set up ten compulsory books, and each book must have at least 100,000 sets to complete. What kind of project should the copying of these million sets of books be?
Chapter completed!
