Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

Gu Tingye married the first wife of the big house, and it's no surprise that he doesn't live a good life with his wife.

Gu's second wife's original intention in marrying a wife was not to live a positive life. To Gu Tingye, a regular wife was just a decoration.

There is a real wife of a noble girl at home, so that Gu Tingye will not lose face in the noble circle.

After marrying the main wife, Gu Tingye will have a reputation, and he can start taking concubines normally, and try to find a way to bring Mannia, the outer room, into the Hou's residence.

Most of the purpose is accomplished by getting married, and of course Gu Tingye will not waste any more time on Rong Feiyan.

The husband and wife have no relationship at all, and Gu Tingye still wants his daughter-in-law to accept his concubine, so that his illegitimate children can get started.

Gu's second child was driven out of the house by his wife because he wanted to enter the outside room.

Sheng Hong shouldn't let Sheng Changbai take it as a warning, he should be a warning to himself.

Sheng Hongcai, like Gu Tingye, was so bewildered by the scheming green tea girl that he was in a trance.

Or Sheng Hong was worried that the Sheng family's ancestral tradition of favoring concubines and destroying wives was too deep-rooted.

Fearing that Sheng Changbai would also be inherited, Sheng Changbai was vaccinated in advance.

After reading the letter, Sheng Changbai felt relieved when he learned that Qi Heng was engaged and Gu Tingye was married.

As long as these two people lose their chance and don't miss the Sheng family's sister, the Sheng family will have no major troubles.

Reply to the old lady and Minglan, so that they can live in Youyang with peace of mind.

Remind the two people that the world is not so peaceful, pay more attention to safety, go out to play, and don't forget to bring more people.

Write back to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu from Bianliang to reassure them, and my colleagues reminded them to be more careful about the situation in Bianliang.

At this time when the battle for the crown prince is heating up, be more cautious and take care of your house, and don't involve yourself as cannon fodder.

Last time, Sheng Hong was regarded by the old emperor as a soft persimmon, a typical example of Liwei.

If it wasn't for the fact that the old emperor was still benevolent, Sheng Hong would have been relegated to some corner to eat dirt.

……

After the summer broadcast, everything came to an end temporarily, and Sheng Changbai had a period of leisure.

You can go to the Judgment Office every day to drink tea and get a card, and you can skip work and go home if you have nothing to do.

You can really enjoy the decadent life of some officials and lords in feudal society.

There is also time to attend some literati fairs, banquets for squires, and temple fairs.

I just eat and drink every day, watch songs and dances, and watch operas, and my small life is quite nourishing.

Although Xuzhou's entertainment industry is not as good as Bianliang's, it also has its own unique features.

For Sheng Changbai who has enjoyed modern entertainment, these entertainments only enjoy one atmosphere.

Although in Xuzhou City, there are still many things that Sheng Changbai can intervene in, such as city construction, military defense, education, case review, market rectification and so on.

But Sheng Changbai always wants to leave certain rights to the magistrate and some things to do. Sheng Changbai has already intervened in the most important agricultural production, tax collection, and public security maintenance.

It's not good to interfere with other things if you are not satisfied.

Huang Zhizhou is not an idiot, Huang Zhizhou can handle these things well.

It cannot be said that the handling is perfect, and it is also on a good level.

"Sheng Pan, our state school in Xuzhou has been built for 40 to [-] years. Now the school building has been in disrepair for a long time and is precarious. Can it be repaired and expanded? If the state has enough money and food, is it possible to increase the subsidy for state students? ?”

When Sheng Changbai was working, he needed to consult Huang Zhizhou.

When Zhizhou wanted to do something, he couldn't do without Sheng Changbai's judgment.

Unless the governor does not need to spend money to do things, he can do things more autonomously.

As long as money is needed, it has to go through Sheng Changbai, the general judge who controls the money and grain of the whole state.

In addition to being able to directly report to the emperor, the key to restricting Zhizhou is the control of financial power.

"Yes, but repairing the state school dormitories and increasing subsidies for students are all good deeds but cost a lot of money. Minggong can mobilize the big gentry and let them also contribute. Wait for the students of the state school to pass the exam. After Jinshi, they will read their good words."

During this period of time in charge of finances in the city, Sheng Changbai understood why so many officials like to take care of the squires and want to get involved with the squires.

Although there is a lot of money and food in the state government, if you want to do things, you have to spend money everywhere.

Compared with the needs of all aspects of the state, the financial situation of the state government is still quite difficult.

So if you want to do more things, you must get the wool from the big households.

Even officials who don't want to do things, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the gentry and wealthy businessmen.

When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, when disaster relief and pensions are needed, these people cannot be separated.

"Sheng Pan, the Nursing Home and Anji Square in the city have been short of funds for a long time, and the head of the hospital has been looking for the state government to apply for it. Can you allocate some money?"

"Also, let them hand over the accounts for the past two years first, and after the review is passed, I will appropriate the appropriate payment."

These places are all charitable organizations belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are the places most prone to corruption.

No matter how much money is allocated, there is no bottom line. Of course, Sheng Changbai must first investigate corruption before allocating money.

In fact, there were quite a lot of various welfare and charitable organizations in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they basically involved all aspects.

There are Futian Hospital for adopting beggars, the disabled and widowed elderly, Anjifang and Huimin Pharmacy for administering medicine, Louze Garden for burials, Juzicang and Salesian for adopting abandoned babies and abandoned children. bureau and baby bureau.There are Guanghui warehouses and Changping warehouses responsible for famine relief.

The benevolence and righteousness of the old Zhao family emperor did not only exist in words.

It's not just because they treat scholars favorably, scholars hold the right to speak and help the emperor of the Zhao family to praise.

The charitable organizations of the Great Zhou Dynasty were larger and more complete than all previous dynasties.

Emperor Zhao's willingness to run these charitable organizations can be seen from his benevolent attitude towards the common people.

But how it can be implemented at the local level depends on the local finances and the specific operations of officials.

"Sheng Pan, the city wall on the north side was broken by the rain some time ago, and needs to be repaired, and a batch of money and food must be allocated."

"Sheng Pan, the Hunan Army still needs to allocate some more supplies, money and food."

Managing finances is still quite a headache, and Xuzhou's economy is actually not bad.

However, there are too many things that the state government needs to manage, and the finances are far from enough to meet all the needs in the jurisdiction.

Although things can be prioritized and handled slowly.

But things related to the state government are all related to people's livelihood, and it is not so easy to delay.

Sheng Changbai still wants to spend a lot of money in Xuzhou, seeing that the warehouse he manages, money, food, and various supplies are getting less and less.

Sheng Changbai's leisure life became more and more restless.

In the case of insufficient finances, there are only two measures, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

Sheng Changbai is doing the throttling thing, and has been streamlining as much as possible, but it is obvious that many places cannot be streamlined.

The most appropriate way is to open source. If the government wants to open source, the most direct way is to collect taxes.

Increasing land tax is to deduct money from farmers.

When Sheng Changbai was in the summer tax, he made it easier for farmers. Of course, it was impossible to increase the land tax.

Miscellaneous taxes are also a temporary solution, but the land tax is still the same. It deducts money from the poorest civilians and farmers, and Sheng Changbai can't do it either.

If you can use your brain, only commercial taxation has some future.

In order to prosper the economy, we cannot directly find a solution on the tax rate.

The only way to increase tax revenue is to increase the economic aggregate.

Sheng Changbai's fight against bandits, local gangsters and gangsters are all making efforts in this regard.

It will take time to increase commercial tax revenue, and it will not bring much revenue for a while.

The government's second source of income is various government-run enterprises.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been besieged on all sides and enemies on all sides, with huge military expenditures.

The court tax revenue has always been in a situation where it cannot make ends meet.

In order to increase income, the later emperors came up with the idea that the collection of mountains, seas, heaven and earth, and the gathering of goods in the market should not allow merchants to take advantage of their own profits, but should be state-owned monopoly to help the country's funds.

So a large number of government-run enterprises started up.All the most profitable commodities are included in the forbidden list, and can only be monopolized by the government.

All fools know that monopolized business makes money. None of the previous emperors of the Zhao family was a fool.

Of course, we know that the monopoly business makes money. When the policy was first released, it did greatly increase the revenue of the treasury.

But after a long time, the supervision is unfavorable, and various problems have been exposed.

These enterprises, producers lack enthusiasm.Poor management, serious loss and waste, overstaffed, high operating costs.Products are of poor quality, high prices, lack of competitiveness, and a backlog of unsalable products.

For various reasons, these monopoly enterprises have basically become money-losing enterprises.

Everyone knows why this happens. Everyone has seen how government-run monopoly companies lose money.

These government-run enterprises were originally intended to increase income for the country, and now they are losing money if they do not make money.

Of course, the emperor couldn't bear it and wanted to rectify, but these enterprises were too big to lose, and there were too many disadvantages, which were hard to recover.

The emperor then decided to re-contract these enterprises to private operators.

That is the most distinctive "buy flutter" system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the system of buying and selling, at the beginning, taxes on wine, vinegar, ponds, markets, ferries, etc. were calculated by the government, and merchants were invited to contract.

In the future, the scope of buying and selling will also expand and expand. All kinds of government-run enterprises will be handed over to private contractors after operating losses.

After private contracting, these companies began to make a lot of money again, which can only be called "magical".

Today, there are not many government-run enterprises in Xuzhou City, and the management rights of all kinds of monopoly businesses have been contracted out, and this road will not work.

If it is to start a business to make money, Sheng Changbai might as well set up his own firm and hand it over to the big house to manage it. After earning money, Sheng Changbai can control it more freely.

The remaining major income of the government is the official land, which is almost due to the same reasons as the government-run enterprises. After the official land is leased, it cannot reach the normal output.

Even because of the official land, the government does not pay the land tax, and the land tax belonging to the official land is pressured on the tenants of the tenants, which is not friendly to the tenants.

The court handled the official land more decisively and cleanly. It did not use the contract system, and directly sold a large number of farmland that originally belonged to the government to individual landlords.

There are not many official fields in Xuzhou that still belong to the government, that is, some Futian for charitable organizations, salary for the daily expenses of state schools and county schools, and the positions of officials like Sheng Changbai.

According to the whole country of Dazhou, most of the states and counties did not reserve the jobs that were subsidized to officials.

The government directly converts it into money and food, and distributes this aspect of income that originally belonged to the "job field" of officials.

In the case of some cases of ransacking the house and confiscating the land property, the government will no longer keep the official land, and sell it as soon as possible.

There is no official land in the hands of the government, and the way to increase income in the soil can be said to be directly cut off.

The government has blocked the way to increase their own income.

It's no wonder that after the imperial court ran out of money, it would mindlessly increase taxes and taxes, extort money, and exploit the people.

Sheng Changbai thought for three days, but he didn't think of any good way to quickly increase the income of the state government.

Now that the government office is relatively short of money, Sheng Changbai can only choose to kill a group of "fat pigs" to add a quick sum of money to the state government treasury.

"Liu Tao, how is the strategy against those big bandits and water bandits to lure them into surrender, win over them, and split them up?"

The Xuzhou side belongs to the fat pigs of the government, that is, some squires, wealthy businessmen, and bandits.

Squires, wealthy businessmen, and Sheng Changbai haven't found anyone suitable for slaughter yet.

You can't just grab a little thing and copy someone else's whole family just to find fault.

According to the law of the Great Zhou, the crimes committed by these country gentry and wealthy businessmen are still within the scope of fines.

Confiscating someone's house directly may be somewhat wronged.

In contrast, choosing to use the stolen money from bandits to subsidize the finances of the state government will definitely not wrong these people.

"Young Master, after such a long blockade, most of the bandits in the Shanzhai Water Village have dispersed. It is almost time to start entering the village to suppress the bandits, otherwise the bandit leader may flee with his belongings. Although the escaped bandit leader, After leaving Xuzhou, it can be considered that we have succeeded in suppressing the bandits in Xuzhou."

It is not easy for these bandits, water bandits, to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and use it as their lair, and they will not escape easily.

If you lose the stockade, you will also lose the house you worked so hard to build, the land you cultivated, and most of your gathered manpower.

Leaving the familiar Xuzhou, these people also lost the advantage of being familiar with geography.

Even if they really want to escape, Sheng Changbai still blocks the traffic. It is not easy for these bandits to run away with their goods. The currency of the Great Zhou Dynasty, gold and silver, is still a minority, and most of them use copper coins, which usually weigh seven Eight catties.

One thousand coins is three to four tons, and it is far from convenient to carry. If these people want to escape, it basically means giving up most of the money they plundered.

"Needless to say, even if these gangsters escaped from Xuzhou, they are unlikely to be good citizens. Let the bandit leader escape, and then gather people to harass other places. , let’s start attacking the stronghold, make sure not to let the bandit leader escape.”
