stand back, let me come

Chapter 299: 299

Gu Chi made a calculation for Shen Tang.

Based on the current output per mu, according to the minimum standard of living, three to four mu of bad land can support one person.This must be due to low taxes and uncomplicated tax items. If the accumulation of land rent, oral tax, calculation tax, corvee, etc., the pressure on the common people is quite heavy.

Basically jumping on the edge of starvation and starvation.

Now ignoring other factors, only counting the average output of one mu of land, one head needs to plant four mu of land to live. Shen Tang brought common people from Sibao County, recruited soldiers, Zhao Feng's 1000 people, about 5000 people, the minimum The standard is to cultivate [-] mu!
In addition to these people, the original farmers in Fugu City, the tenant farmers who did not have their own fields... There are more than [-] people in total...These families in Fugu City joined forces to occupy [-]% of the land in Heyin, and left it in the hands of the common people Most of them are bad fields.

If tax is added...

Not to mention four acres of land, adding two acres would be enough.

Looking at the calculation formula given by Gu Chi, Shen Tang was almost paralyzed - was she looking after Gu Chi to settle accounts?
No, she was looking at her own "poverty"!
Enduring the brain that was about to explode, he rubbed his forehead.

Gu Chi keenly noticed her discomfort.

Concerned: "Is the lord listening?"

Shen Tang: "I'm listening, I'm listening... It's just that I have a headache when I hear it. The feeling is very subtle and indescribable. It's like there are [-] Gong Xichou beating me and punching me. Beating and kicking made my eyes stare..."

The key is that these accounts are all recorded in words, and they are in vertical format, from right to left, densely packed together. The reading experience is simply "cool" like ecstasy!Immediately to the extent of rolling the eyes and spitting white foam!

This kind of office conditions?

Hehe, the low work efficiency is really not her fishing!

The more you look at it, the angrier you get, the more you look at it, the angrier you get!

If it continues, she is afraid that she will go bald early in life.

The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched.

"...young...bald?"

"It's baldness! The midlife crisis that every middle-aged man and woman must face, but some people are lucky enough to experience it in advance."

For example myself.

Shen Tang could already foresee a future where he would lose a lot of hair!She was going to discuss with Gu Chi whether to reform the way of keeping accounts before reclaiming the wasteland.

Rely on word by word to record - for example, on XX day in XX, Fugu city XX place X ares X mu, tax XX stone; or XX year XX day, Fugu city XX place X household X person, tax XX ——What year and month do we have to get it?
It's tiring to write, and tiring to read.

What happened when I went back to check the account...

Hehe, checking accounts can also make you vomit blood.

If you don't engage in bookkeeping reform, you will be sorry for the shining heroine halo on her head!Well done, happy you and me!
Gu Chi: "..."

Shen Tang's inner voice has always been fast, urgent, numerous and complicated, one or two sentences of important information mixed with piles of nonsense, even Gu Chi couldn't fully figure out what she said.

But there is one thing he understands, the lord wants to change the accounting method.

He said gently: "I would like to hear the details."

Shen Tang fetched a few blank bamboo slices—although there is papermaking technology at present, the output of paper is not much, and it is still a relatively luxurious consumer product. This has something to do with labor costs, raw material costs, and technical levels.Shen Tang is just a poor sheriff.

Even if you get rich overnight by copying your home, there is still some distance from the freedom of paper, and bamboo slips are still the main office.

As long as the mind does not slip down, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Shen Tang used the gaps between the bamboo slices as the "vertical" of the form, and then drew the "horizontal" with a carving knife, and finally a simple bamboo slip form.

There are many gestures in the text, so they are replaced by numbers.

Shen Tang listed the numbers corresponding to the text one by one.

"Look, isn't this clear?"

Gu Chi took a look and found that this kind of thing is not only a bit awkward in reading habits, but bookkeeping is indeed convenient and simple, not only convenient for recording but also convenient for future accounting, but——

He saw the blood on his finger: "It is easy to fake."

Inserting a number is also not easy to detect.

Shen Tang's expression froze: "Huh?"

Gu Chi changed the subject, and praised with a smile: "Although it is so, it is indeed an ingenious method, and it is easy to use. As for the fraudulent accounts, it is not difficult to solve, and the settlement can still be recorded in the previous way. Know."

Shen Tang's eyes brightened up several times.

"So, my method can be used?"

Gu Chi laughed and said, "Since it's easy to use, why don't you use it? However, this method shouldn't be created by the lord himself, right?"

"Hey, how can I make my own, it's commonly used in my hometown."

Gu Chi heard the words and didn't go any further.

He has traveled in the Northwest countries in recent years, and he dare not say that he has visited every place and understood every custom, but this kind of strange symbols represent numbers and table-style account books... He has never seen it before, maybe ...

Is he ignorant?

Or maybe, there is something special about the lord.

As a smart person, Gu Chi naturally knows that there is a need for distance between people, especially when one of them is the lord.His way of literati has made the protagonist lose his "secret". If he is still curious, he will be killed sooner or later.

"Property" is also a compulsory course for literary scholars.

Furthermore, adopting this convenient bookkeeping method is also beneficial to oneself, as long as you enjoy the benefits, why bother to dig into the origin of this method?Gu Chi changed the content of the previous calculation, allowing Shen Tang to see the current gap more intuitively.

It is imperative to reclaim wasteland.

And it is still imminent.

Before the spring plowing.

If spring plowing is missed, it means that the harvest will not be good in the second year. Without harvest tax, there will be no more capital to absorb refugees.At the same time, the construction of Fugu City should also be on the right track.

Otherwise, how can there be so many refugees?
Shen Tang was so worried that he put his hands on his face, and Gu Chi asked again: "What will my lord do with the confiscated land? Divide it or..."

"Let it out."

It is impossible to divide.

Shen Tang didn't have so much to share.

She was so worried: "If you distribute the land in your hands to the common people and let them cultivate it, who can get the good land? Who can get the bad land? How many acres of good land? How many acres of bad land? It's too big... Besides, in the current world, it's hard for ordinary people to keep the fields in their hands. If there is a serious illness or disaster in the family, they may sell the fields, either actively or passively..."

It would be better if it was in Shen Tang's hands.

The rent is incorporated into the land tax, they can farm, and they can harvest as much food as they cultivate, and they can support their families as long as they work hard.According to the quality of the farmland and the average yield per mu in an area, it is enough to collect a fixed percentage of land tax per mu.

Charge a little more when the harvest is good.

If the harvest is poor, take less.

There is also the index number of average per mu yield, and it is relatively difficult to fake the harvest. As for other miscellaneous taxes, we will discuss it later.

There are hundreds of countries in the mainland, and the tax types and proportions of each country are different.Gu Chi made some calculations in his heart, and it was feasible.

"...Wait, there is one more thing." Shen Tang rubbed his brows and reflected on what he hadn't considered, "...in the past few days, I will trouble Wang Chao to work harder, and personally take someone to measure the land. Out of pros and cons..."

It is best to leave this matter to Gu Chi.

No one can deceive him.

The collected data is also relatively real.

Shen Tang made an estimate in his heart: "Try to finish this matter before the year, and then 'rent' the land to the common people during the Chinese New Year. The lease amount is mainly based on the number of men and women in each family and their age... oh, say Starting from this, the population has to be re-registered.”

She covered her face in pain.

This day is over.

嘤嘤(╥╯^╰╥)
Just thinking about the workload made Shen Tang's eyes dry and dizzy, so he recruited a blue bird to fly to Kang Shi.

Let Kang Shi take Lin Feng in charge of this matter.

Originally, I wanted Chu Yao to do it.

But considering Chu Yao's gray hair and suffering so much in his early years, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it before his body recovered, so he asked Kang Shi to take over.He is young and can stay up late.

Kang Shi: "..."

Gu Chi asked again: "How much is the rent for men and women?"

Shen Tang said: "Let's discuss this later in a meeting. If there are warriors and farmers in the family, you can rent more."

She still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting warriors farm the fields, and she was going to encourage them vigorously.Shen Tang discussed a lot of things with Gu Chi, and when she recovered, it was almost dark outside.He asked someone to light an oil lamp for himself.

Why not a room full of lights?
Because the five senses of Wenxin literati are better than ordinary people, coupled with excellent night vision, a lamp is enough for office work.

Poor people can save as much as they can.

Shen Tang picked up a casual meal, considered it finished, and continued to work.The main thing is to check the prisoners who will be dealt with tomorrow. Although they have committed heinous crimes and few of them are clean, it cannot be ruled out that there are indeed clean water that come out of hibiscus and mud that are not stained.

There are still some crimes that are not worthy of death, Shen Tang is going to throw them to repair the city wall or pound rice, if they are shameless, restless and want to make trouble, then kill them!
There are also some innocent female relatives, such as the concubines who did not commit evil but were forcibly robbed and their offspring...

Should it be punished?

How to punish?
Qishan’s opinion is to kill them all to avoid future troubles. According to the charges of the Yi tribe, these children will not survive, and keeping them will be a hidden danger.But Shen Tang felt a bit of compassion, these women and children are innocent after all...

After all, being coerced is not their choice. As for the hidden dangers... it is nothing more than worrying that the children will be promising, and they will retaliate, cause trouble, or reverse the case for the family in the future.

Gu Chi and the others still disagreed on the surface.

But also soft attitude.

This thing really can't be too extreme.

He Yin is indeed only a small place, but there are quite a few lands in the same situation as He Yin, and there are also local snakes there - if Shen Tang does too much, it may arouse the strong vigilance and resistance of these local snakes, which will be unfavorable in the future.

Right now is only a small profit, the future is the long-term.

During the day, Shen Tang killed all directions on the high platform, and at night she worked hard for the files. She felt that her life was gloomy. When she opened her eyes, she saw government affairs piled up to the ceiling. When she closed her eyes, she suffered inhumane suffering in the ocean of government affairs. Beat.

"Grass (a plant)."

It would be better to fight with Gongxi Qiu before the battle.

For seven days in a row, dark circles appeared under the eyes abruptly.

Roughly solve He Yin's seven local snakes.

The common people also watched the beheading trial for seven days around the high platform, seeing the faces that made them gnash their teeth in their dreams, and went to hell, and drinking two more bowls of water at home can fill them up for a day!Those who should be killed are not spared, and those who should not be killed have their own destinations.

Either they were thrown away to reclaim wasteland and build city walls, or they were pounding rice for reform through labor, adding bricks and tiles to the construction of Fugu City.

As for the "legacy" of various families...

Shen Tang was not afraid of them making trouble.

The government issued a reward order, and if one is caught, one can get a reward or be exempted from the seedling money for the next three years.

In today's world, common people mostly farm in spring and harvest in autumn. During the harvest, they live a little better, but after the long winter, they become poor again. They are so poor that they can't even afford to buy seedlings and can't keep them.

Often you can only borrow money at high interest rates. If the harvest is not good for a year, you will still owe a whole lot of debt after deducting land taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the previous debts are still making interest...

Shen Tang was also out of this consideration, and made multiple preparations—it was borrowing money anyway, so he might as well borrow it from her.

The interest rate is extremely low and there will be no violent debt collection, let alone the worry that the interest rate will roll over and the family will be ruined. Why not do it?

Gu Chi and the others were worried that it would not work.

The interest rate is too low and you are not afraid of being borrowed into bankruptcy?

Even if he didn't go bankrupt, Shen Tang would be responsible for the loss of the bank and the midway loss of the seedlings, and sooner or later he would lose his entire family... But after listening to Shen Tang's idea, he dispelled his doubts for the time being.

As long as the harvest is good, the surplus grain in the hands of the common people is purchased at a low price, and when the harvest is not good, it is sold at a higher price than the purchase price, so as to balance the income and expenditure.

But the details will have to come back to the meeting.

The common people in Fugu City are poor now.

Anyone who catches them will be in debt.

Even if Shen Tang rented them enough fertile land, it would be difficult for them to have enough seedlings.If reporting a "legacy" can be exchanged for three years of seedling money, who would not be tempted?

Anyway, the common people of Fugu City are already moved.

The government office also released news that after the household registration is re-created, they will have land to cultivate, and the land tax is also quite low.

All of them raised their heads and looked forward to it.

Can't wait for time to speed up.

However, no matter how much they hoped, Shen Tang only had so many people on his side, working overtime for seven days in a row to clear up the bad debts of the seven local snakes.As the protagonist, Shen Tang was so tired that his expression was in a trance, and he devoured his meals every day...

If you eat too fast, you will choke.

"belch--"

What to say.

Shen Tang put down the bowl with a frown, picked up the soup in hand and took two mouthfuls, and finally swallowed the stuffed pancake.

Before she could catch her breath, there was a strong tremor under her feet, and the dust from the beams on the top of her head fell down on Shen Tang's head. .

"Damn it—did the ground move?"

At this time, Dilong turned around? ? ?
Shen Tang seemed to have seen the malice towards him from the heavens.

Not only Shen Tang thought so, but several old officials of the government also thought so, all of them were either pale or anxious.They murmured in their hearts - they have been in Fugu City for so many years, they have never heard of an earthquake here?

One by one their hearts beat drums.

Just when they were worried, the "earthquake" came again, not only the ground was shaking, but they also saw two rays of martial energy light up in the distance—err, martial energy... light? ? ?
Shen Tang rushed up to the roof.

　　For the sake of the title, where are the monthly passes for the treasures?

　　Hey, the more monthly passes the better, we don't refuse anyone.

　　By the way, I would like to promote my good friend Wan Er's new book "After the Hero Goes Crazy".

　　PS: Regarding the conversion of mu and hectare in ancient times, I made a mistake before.It is a bit outrageous for He Yinzhang to set more than [-] hectares, because the boundary of He Yin is only so small, so it was changed to [-] hectares (in fact, it still feels a bit much).
