God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 867 Tax Income
The next morning.

Morning up.

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to stand up, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. Now that the son-in-law and the two princesses are married, according to the will of the Supreme Emperor and his old man, Du He cannot As the county magistrate of Hu County again, the post of county magistrate of Hu County has been vacant for many days. "

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Master Changsun said is true. Huxian County cannot live without a county magistrate for a day... However, it is extremely inappropriate to let Changsun Chong be the magistrate of Huxian County. It is the young minister of Dali Temple, but he has no experience as a local official. The situation in Huxian County is extremely complicated today. It is more suitable for an official with many years of experience as a county magistrate. The person recommended by the minister has already done a job in Tongzhou. Five years of county magistrate, with impressive achievements, I think this person is qualified to be the county magistrate of Hu County!"

"Your Majesty, I also have a suitable candidate!"

"And the minister..."

"My wife's brother's son's third uncle's fourth uncle's fourth uncle's second uncle's grandson's cousin is a talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. This person is best at teaching, and he can be a county magistrate in Hu County!"

……

Everyone was clamoring, but they all wanted Li Er to quickly determine the candidate for the county magistrate of Hu County.

Li Er originally wanted to avoid talking about it, but now seeing everyone's reluctance, he couldn't help feeling irritable.

"Okay, I've been thinking about this matter, but before deciding on the candidates for Hu County, I would like to see if the taxes for this year in Hu County have been paid?" Li Er suddenly asked.

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, Huxian County has been ordered to send taxes directly to Chang'an without going through Jingzhao Mansion. However, these taxes should have been delivered last night. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs Still counting."

Li Er ordered: "Dai Qing's family, I want to know the result immediately. You go and tell the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, put the rest aside, and let them directly bring the taxes from Huxian County to Taiji Hall. I will work with you Witness it!"

"Yes!"

Dai Zhou hurried to make arrangements.

Not long after, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came, took the account books directly, and began to calculate in the Tai Chi Hall.

When the other ministers saw it, they were very curious about why His Majesty suddenly cared about the taxation of Hu County.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is necessary to calculate the taxes in Hu County. Du He promised to exempt the people from taxes within two years. I'm afraid the taxes this year will be less than a few hundred guan!"

"Master Changsun is right!"

"Taxation has always been the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, but Du He exempted it without authorization. Since then, Huxian County will have no income, and naturally there will be no money. What's more, the county government of Huxian County owes Wudi There is a lot of money in the bank, I am afraid that there is no money to repay it, so where will the money be turned over to the court!"

Everyone, you speak my word.

At this moment, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs made a surprised voice: "It's figured out!"

Ok?
Everyone held their breath and listened with pricked ears.

Changsun Wuji and the others had smug smiles on their lips.

The official shouted: "Fifty thousand guan, a total of [-] guan! This is the tax that Hu County will hand over to the imperial court this year."

wow.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Originally, everyone thought that Hu County would not be able to pay even a penny this year, but how did they know that it was handed over, and even [-] guan was handed over?

Fifty thousand guan is actually not much, but it is not easy for Hu County.

Li Er was a little moved, and hurriedly asked: "Last year, how much was the tax paid by Hu County?"

Dai Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, last year, Hu County paid [-] guan in taxes to Jingzhao Mansion."

Li Er stroked his beard and nodded: "Du He didn't disappoint me... Hu County encountered such a big trouble this year, and I didn't expect that I could still hand over [-] guan."

Changsun Wuji was not happy: "Your Majesty, I think this is due to Du He's incompetence... He served as the county magistrate of Huxian County. After such a toss, he only paid [-] guan in taxes, which is [-] guan less than last year. , this is the best proof!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Du He's implementation of the new policy in Hu County is in full swing. Now it seems that it's just a lot of thunder and rain, and it's not worth mentioning at all!"

With Changsun Wuji taking the lead, many people jumped out against Du He.

Anyway, Du He's son-in-law is only a son-in-law now, and he can't be promoted to a noble in the future, so he just scolds him hard.

At this moment, the official who just did the accounting suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am very happy, Your Majesty, this year, the total tax revenue of Huxian County is 35 yuan..."

35 guan?
Everyone was stunned.

Changsun Wuji turned around, grabbed the official, and asked, "What did you say, can you say it again?"

Many people, including Changsun Wuji, thought that there was something wrong with their ears.

The official said tremblingly: "My lord grandson, even if you beat me to death, it would cost you 30 yuan. We have done the calculation three times, and there will be no mistakes!"

Wang Gui was surprised and said: "Since the total tax revenue of Huxian County is 35 guan, why only 30 guan was handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the remaining [-] guan?"

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, [-]% of the local tax revenue must be handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining small part can be kept for personal use.

Today, the total income of Hu County has reached 35 guan, but only [-] guan can be handed over. This is unreasonable!

The official hurriedly said: "Hu County has already explained this matter. Your Majesty, my lords, according to Hu County, His Majesty promised Hu County this year's tax and not to ask for it. Therefore, they turned over 30 guan to express their intention. As for For the remaining [-] guan, the county magistrate of Huxian County at that time, who is now the son-in-law, said that the family in Huxian County has a big business, and there are many places to spend money, so I left the money in Huxian County for use!"

Swish.

The officials all turned to look at Li Er.

Li Er supported his forehead with his hands, and nodded helplessly: "I did promise Du He back then."

He is also very distressed now.

30 million guan!
Those are Kaiyuan Tongbao!
The reason why he agreed to Du He's condition at the beginning was to relieve Du He's pressure.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, Hu County could become like this. Not only did it not spend a penny from the court, but it had more than 30 yuan in tax revenue. You know, the total income of the entire Hu County last year Before it was handed over to the court, it was less than one hundred thousand guan!
Suddenly, Li Er's eyes lit up, he slapped the desk, and said: "My dear friends, I hope that there will be as many counties as Hu County in Datang, the better. However, the candidate for the county magistrate of Hu County, I It has already been decided."

Everyone's eyes widened, looking forward to it.

Li Er said slowly: "Let Wei Shuyu be the county magistrate of Hu County!"

Wei Shuyu, Wei Zheng's second son, is a well-known idiot in Chang'an City.

Let him be the magistrate of Hu County?

Everyone is stupid at once.
