The peasant girl is mighty

Chapter 95

The state capital, the streets near the government office.

There are many shops on the street, but it is not very lively.

The shops here are all for the upper class, and ordinary people dare not come here.

It is common to see two carriages carrying ladies and ladies out for shopping.

Zhang Bin reined in the horse and got off the horse.

Ma Han stepped forward to hold the rope and let the adults go to work.

"Go to the nearby teahouse and wait."

"it is good."

He took the briefcase and went to the government office.

Because of this briefcase, he became the most watched person in the government office.

Those who knew Zhang Bin hurried forward to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

"Hello, Mr. Hong."

Zhang Bin cupped his hands, "Master Hai is well."

"Master Zhang, what is this in your hand?"

"This one." Zhang Bin showed off his briefcase.

"This is a leather briefcase.

It is waterproof, moisture-proof and fire-proof, and easy to hold.

It has three pockets, the first one is more than enough for books.

The second one plays official documents and communiqués, and the third one plays memorials. "

He swayed from side to side, showing off his leather briefcase.

Knowing that they are greedy, knowing that they are envious, but he just won't take it for them.

"There are a lot of documents here, I have to find the magistrate.

I'll show you guys next time. "

Zhang Bin pointed to the place where the magistrate was, and motioned for himself to go in.

They stood together and looked at the briefcase in Zhang Bin's hand from afar.

"This thing is so beautiful."

"It's a new thing, and it's the first time I've seen it."

"Where did this thing come from? It's very useful."

"Hey, Master Zhang has followers?

You can find out by sending someone to ask his followers. "

This is a useful thing, and they want to have one too.

Zhang Bin took the briefcase to find the magistrate, and first talked about the recent situation in Ronghua County.

Let's talk about future plans, and finally cry poor.

"That area is so poor.

A cottage, not even a cow.

Even if those people stayed in the fields every day, they still couldn't get a full meal.

As a result, many people now flee into the mountains and become mountain people.

There is no other way, my lord.

It is necessary to improve their productivity and liberate their shoulders. "

It is too hard to pull the plow by human power.

The magistrate neither nodded nor shook his head.

Zhang Bin continued: "I plan to let the caravan bring back a few yaks from the plateau, and also bring in some cattle from the county.

I also plan to build a bridge to connect Ronghua and Rongbei.

Speed ​​up the exchanges between the two places and promote the exchange of agricultural products.

Let good seeds spread better and more easily. "

Zhang Bin saw that he still didn't express his opinion, so he took out the fake watch.

"The bridge is 49.8 meters long, three meters wide, 6 meters high and 4 meters low.

This is the cost list of the project, please have a look. "

Seeing that the adults did not move, Zhang Bin was not in a hurry, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Gan Weimin returned a memorial before picking up the cost list.

It was the first time he had seen the so-called cost list.

The reason for building the bridge, the benefits of building the bridge, and the construction period and materials of the bridge are written in detail.

The novel style of the cost list allowed him to understand it quickly, and he also saw the approximate model of the bridge.

After reading most of the materials and seeing the price list behind, Gan Weimin became more and more angry.

He scolded Zhang Bin directly: "Master Zhang, you have a lot of appetite.

Use 2 taels of silver to build a bridge, thank you for thinking it out.

You are a moth, a member of the corrupt officials.

His Majesty the Emperor saw it, and he must cut off your head. "

After speaking, he threw the counterfeit watch back to Zhang Bin.

Gan Weimin pointed to Zhang Bin and then to the gate.

He just said, "Go away."

This is Lin Yu's first cost list.

At first he saw it and thought it was impossible.

When he came to Shangfeng, he wanted to test it out.

Sure enough, it was a scolding meal when it was submitted.

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down."

Zhang Bin picked up the briefcase and took out the second document.

"My lord, this is the second cost list.

There is no worker's wage expenditure here.

All workers will be drawn from the labor list.

This greatly reduced the cost of construction, and the price dropped from 2 taels to 2000 taels. "

Gan Weimin thought: 2000 taels is still high.

Seeing that he just watched but didn't speak, Zhang Bin felt that there was no game in his heart.

The local economy is underdeveloped, so the government has no money!

Zhang Bin explained: "The 2000 taels are money for medicinal materials.

Labor is also a person, and they are the pillars of the family.

We can't pull people out to do coolies and leave them alone.

After entering summer, plagues are prone to appear.

Keep some medicines on hand, just in case.

If you can't use it up, you can put it in the government office and use it next time. "

Gan Weimin didn't think about the disease, he was thinking about the terrain and products in Rongbei.

There is a piece of fine land over there, and the oranges produced are sweet and delicious, which are liked by the nobles in the palace.

If the bridge is built, the journey of citrus from here to Kyoto will be reduced by four days.

One day earlier, better fresh fruit can be presented as a tribute.

This will allow more fresh fruits to enter the capital, and allow the people in Rongbei to benefit from planting citrus.

This bridge should be repaired, but the money...

Gan Weimin: "You go back and write an official document, and the price is 800 taels."

"That's a little bit.

There is not enough money to buy carts and mules for transporting stones.

My lord, give me some more. "

"Okay, being able to give this number is already for the sake of your clan brother.

If other county magistrates come to look for it, it would be nice to be able to give 200 taels. "

"My lord, this money is really not enough." Zhang Bin begged.

"If it's not enough, you just collect donations.

The government office has no money, don't look at the state capital, the state capital is also a poor place.

You have collected the grain tax from last autumn's harvest, right?

There is still half of it unpaid, hurry up and make up. "

Zhang Bin smiled awkwardly, "It's all about rectifying the canals.

Don't worry, the summer harvest will be paid in full this year. "

"I guarantee that the tax collected in the summer will more than double next year."

Gan Weimin stared at Zhang Bin and saw that he was not guilty, so he said, "Remember what you said."

With this guarantee, Gan Weimin will not pursue the issue of his incomplete autumn harvest.

There are many counties under the jurisdiction of the magistrate, but not many can pay taxes in full.

There are more poor counties and more poor people, so the taxes paid are less.

A county magistrate once came to cry and complained that he had a cottage there, and in order to avoid paying taxes, he evacuated it all overnight.

Therefore, many county magistrates, in order to continue to maintain, will withhold part of the grain tax.

The higher-ups also turned a blind eye to them, and the things that were distributed would not be distributed in full.

If there is something missing, let the county magistrate make up for it.

This is the balance.

"It's ready."

Zhang Bin picked up the briefcase, put it on the table, and took out the official request for payment that he had prepared.

"Just fill in the numbers.

Please borrow the calligraphy of the adults. "

He wrote eight hundred words and printed his official seal.

"Sir, please."

"What are you?" Gan Weimin asked.

"This is a briefcase, specially made by the lower officials to hold official documents.

My lord signs and seals here. "

Gan Weimin withdrew his gaze, signed and sealed.

"Your Excellency is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you as an official. Let me leave."

Zhang Bin turned around and left. He walked in a hurry and could not stop screaming.
