Chapter 349 Taking root in the foundation is the big deal
Wannian County is currently the wealthiest county in Datang.

This can be seen from the Xia Fu and Qiu Tax.

Just the two cities of Jinchangfang and Qujiangfang contributed more than [-]% of the county's tax receivable.

Among them, Jinchangfang has the most tax payment of 980 and 750 guan, followed by Dongshi with 650 and [-] guan, and Qujiang Fang with [-] and [-] guan. Wannian County received more than [-] copper coins as taxes.

The source of taxes in the Tang Dynasty is rent and commission transfer. The so-called rent is land rent. The average rent per mu is two liters. Yong is silk cloth. As for transfer, this thing does not exist in Wannian County, because Wannian County does not allow The common people used three feet of silk cloth every day to replace the corvee.

The land in Wannian County is too small, so the number of renters is not much. Although it is not much, it still surpasses many Datang states.

According to the payment of the autumn tax in November of the sixth year of Yonghui, the Ministry of Households calculated based on the price of corn. In the sixth year of Yonghui, the total income of the Datang court was 480 million yuan.

In the court, all the officials naturally celebrated with each other, because this income is already the highest since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Yunchu was called two hundred and five by the emperor, he was once again rated as the top choice in the evaluation of the Qingli Si Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed that Yunchu could obtain such benefits without stripping the last of the people's underpants to hide their shame.

That's right, officials, at least the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they only look at the amount of money, grain, silk, and linen that enter the treasury every year, and they don't care whether the people can live or not.

Few officials were reprimanded by the Ministry of Household Affairs for making things happen due to tax urging. Even if it provoked a civil uprising, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs would only think it was a fault of the people, and they only needed to send a large army to quell it.

Herdsman, herdsman, an official who grazes the people for the imperial court, if there is no profit from herding for a year, this is the biggest failure of the official.

Yunchu's political achievements were very remarkable. Therefore, in the early spring of the first year of Xianqing, Yunchu officially stepped into the ranks of the fifth-rank officials. Those who have truly entered the ranks of mid-level officials are finally qualified to step into the hall to discuss state affairs with the emperor.

Datang's taxes are very flexible. Officials at the county level need to hand over [-]% of the taxes they receive to the state, and the state then turns over [-]% of the taxes they receive to the national treasury.

With this calculation method, the amount of grain, silk, and linen in the county warehouse of Wannian County is very considerable.

Because, Yunchu followed the household department's favorite - to convert the received tax in kind into currency and pay it to the household department.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Household Affairs urged the Ministry of Officials to promote Yunchu's rank.

What they don't know is that in the process of converting real objects into currency to pay taxes, Wannian County has at least [-]% of its profits. loss.

Yunchu has never allowed the country to take advantage of him. Now, he is the chief official of Wannian County, so he also does not allow the country to take advantage of Wannian County.

Therefore, the officials in Wannian County now straighten their waists when they go out, not because of anything else, but because everyone knows that there is a shortage of warehouses in Wannian County this year, and they have to choose a high place to build a warehouse. A group of warehouses came out to store grain, silk, and linen.

Because of this, no one outside knows about the rewards at the end of this year in Wannian County, except for the Wannian County officials and even the handymen themselves.

Because, Master Wu of Wannian County made his words very clear when he was in charge of distributing the rewards.

The money and food given to you, take it home and you can secretly rejoice with your wife hiding in the bed, but you are not allowed to reveal a word.

If the county magistrate was impeached by the censor because of the leak of the county government's rewards, then it's nothing to say, not only will the rewards issued this year be taken back, but even the previous ones will be pursued.

Today's Wannian county government may have wine bags and rice bags, but there are no fools.

Even if someone doesn't like Yunchu, the county lord, from the bottom of his heart, after receiving those rewards, even if he thinks about himself, he will never say it out.

Because once it is discovered that he said it, then he will have no place to stand in Chang'an.

The most important thing is to do what you should do well in Wannian County. Even if you don’t show up in front of the county lord for a year, as long as there is no problem in the area you manage, then it’s nothing to see the county lord. .

More than half of the people in Wannian County live in Chang'an City, [-]% of the families have someone working for the government, another [-]% of the families are doing business, nearly [-]% of the people live outside the city, and all rely on farming for their livelihood. Only [-]%.

Therefore, the poorest people in Wannian County are generally the families of artisans who have lost their main labor force.

In the Tang Dynasty, men were the main labor force in the family, and under normal circumstances, there was no cure for this kind of poverty.

Therefore, Yunchu began to consciously train this kind of woman as the main driving force and the main source of income for the family.

Cotton Textile Workshop came into being to solve this problem.In order to protect these women, Li Zhi handed over the cotton textile workshop to a group of eunuchs.

At least the eunuchs will not take care of some poor women to become concubines in their back houses like Li Yifu did.

After there is more food, it is inevitable that there will be problems with old food, and these old food will only be supplied to those poor families in Wannian County.

The officials in Wannian County basically achieved fairness and justice when evaluating what kind of family is considered a poor family.

On the one hand, doing this kind of thing well is a process of accumulating merit for them. On the other hand, the people their county officials hate the most are those who take profits from the poor.

Of course, how to seek some benefits from the rich is a topic that everyone in Wannian County is studying. After all, as long as this kind of thing is within the scope of legal understanding, the county officials will ignore it.

The sun is shining today, Wannian County's Zun Yunchu will personally take the officials of Wannian County out of the city to visit the poor.

With such a good thing, Ruan naturally invited many acquainted censors to accompany him.

"This is not the first time this has happened in our Wannian County.

The most difficult time for the common people every year is the spring day, especially for those poor families.

Look at the grain, cloth, lamp oil, vegetable oil, some old ready-made clothes, hats, shoes and socks pulled by hundreds of carriages in the back, some of which were purchased from Wannian County's limited funds.

Part of it was donated by the officials of the county government, such as Wannian county magistrate, chief bookkeeper, county lieutenant, and people from the two departments of Liucao. Everyone actively donated.

As for the fact that many merchants also volunteered to raise donations, this scene was made up, which is also a manifestation of the prosperous age that my Tang Dynasty is now in. "

The censors who originally thought it was just a play, flattered Wenrou with a smile, and some joked to Wenrou that after finishing this matter, they must go to a good Wenrou Township to make up for their hard work today .

Qujiangfang, which is the closest to Chang'an City, was directly ignored. Fangzheng Erniu loudly complained to the county magistrate that there were still many poor people in Qujiangfang who needed relief.

To the ears of Wannian County officials, his words were a big joke.

Er Niu doesn't care about these things, he knows that the county lord came out today, and he brought all the good things for living at home. As long as some are picked up, Qujiangfang can hold one or two more long-table banquets, and he can reward those hard-working people common people.

For this reason, he also specially pulled over some people with all kinds of poor and strange faces to prove to the county lord that there are really many poor people in Qujiangfang.

Hu Cao's clerk who often came to Qujiangfang whispered a few words in Hu Cao's ear, and then Hu Cao began to curse with obscene language.

He also claimed that he should check the warehouse of Qujiangfang carefully. If there is really not much grain in the warehouse, he can directly decide to give Qujiangfang some relief. If the grain in the warehouse of Qujiangfang exceeds the amount he stipulated , took away the excess and went to relieve the people elsewhere.

These guys with all kinds of poor and weird looks, according to Yunchu's previous standards when he was a street director, they are all the ones that must be rescued.

Forget it in Datang, they just look weird, they have houses, food, clothes to wear, and jobs, although they earn less than other people in Qujiangfang throughout the year, according to the rules of other counties, this It is definitely a proper upper-middle-class family, and it is not considered poor at all.

Everyone knows that Er Niu is trying to fight for the interests of Qujiang Fang. As the head of Qujiang Fang, he has no problem doing this. After all, crying children have milk. This is the consensus of all officials .

Get rid of Qujiangfang, which is all about taking advantage, the more you go east, the worse the conditions in Lifang here.

In the autumn of last year, the Qujiang Pond exploded the dam to discharge the flood. Qujiangfang, which is close to Qujiang Pond, did not suffer much damage. However, although they were not seriously affected by the disaster, it was a great loss to the people.

The head of the village sent a list of people in need of relief, and Yunchu led his subordinates and a group of censors to check and verify them one by one.

When the house collapsed, the family gave more money and food, and also asked the head of the village to help each other more in times of disaster, to develop the spirit of mutual assistance among neighbors, to face the disaster together, and to overcome the disaster.

When encountering poor families due to illness, Yunchu, the doctor of the imperial medical office, would even take the initiative to diagnose and administer medicine to them, and allow them to go to Pingzhun Pharmacy to get the medicine at the biggest discount.

Slowly, the censors realized that something was wrong.

Because Yunchu is such an honorable five-rank county magistrate, but he took the initiative to walk into the dark homes of the people, would open the rice tanks of the people to check the food situation, would take the initiative to sit in the homes of the people and drink the boiled water brought by the people, and ask them if there was anything left. Those difficulties, and I personally recorded them in a notebook with a hard pen.

Until Yunchu stood in front of the bed of an old woman who was smelling all over her body, diagnosed her pulse, wrote the prescription himself, picked up the medicine from the medicine brought, and told the old woman's relatives over and over again the precautions and how to prepare the medicine. During the time of taboo, the mentality of these young censors changed a lot.
