Chapter 481 Get rid of the disadvantages

"How dare you." Fu Xi brushed her temples subconsciously, "I can go back to the national school only after you go back. The busy farming holiday is almost over. The owner of the house insisted that I would not let me go until you left."

"Hurry up, leave when I teach you how to store grain." Wan Lihui said, "Do you like school very much?"

"En!" Fu Xi nodded, "School is a hundred times more interesting than here!" She suddenly lowered her voice, "I really don't want to come back here."

The knowledge taught to her by the national school, the concepts instilled in her, affect her living habits.Indigenous children have begun to be subtly changed.Wan Lihui thought, this is the power of education, right?We are starting to produce a new generation of people who are neither 17th century nor 21st century.

"It's easy not to come back. Come to me when the time comes." Wan Lihui casually said that the National School trained them for their own use, not for the local rich to settle accounts.This girl was probably trained according to the direction of agricultural technology, and she was in the same department as herself, so she just told Wu Nanhai to arrange it on the farm.

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Wan Lihui felt strange. Seeing the little girl staring at him closely, with flushed cheeks, he secretly felt something was wrong.This girl is only fourteen, fourteen.Wan Lihui kept reminding himself to be firm.

Fu Xi stared at him silently for a few seconds, then suddenly ran away to get rid of him.Wan Lihui looked at her braids, feeling a little confused.

A few days later, Wan Lihui left Meiyang Village.Compared with when he first arrived a few months ago, the Tiandihui has become a fabulous organization that can bring wealth.All the families in the village with a lot of land are planning to join the Tiandihui, except for Fu Yousan -- this old man continues to respond to all changes with the same.

The grain from the Grain Collection Bureau was also distributed to Meiyang Village.When Chen Minggang played the "Zhangtian" trick, Meiyang Village didn't make any big waves because there were no big grain households-the burden of rice consumption here was as high as five buckets, which was already very heavy.

After the new grain was redistributed, everyone was surprised to see that the rice consumption had dropped to three buckets per stone-this is undoubtedly a relief for the people who have been overwhelmed by tax increases. A stone fell, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"After the Australians came, everyone's life will be easier." Fu Buer sighed.A small landlord like him has no power and power, and the tax burden is huge.

Not only in Meiyang Village, but people in many villages in the county feel this way. The place is peaceful, and they no longer have to be afraid of encountering bandits and pirates when they go out; they don’t have to worry about bandits and pirates coming to rob them after harvesting food, and they can work with peace of mind. rest.Even poor people can work and earn a living with Australians.

Now that life is stable, the newly established Grain Collection Bureau has unified the collection amount of "rice consumption" in the county, greatly reducing the burden on the people.This made the collection of autumn grain go very smoothly.Not only that, the grain households who have paid the excess rice consumption have been notified that they can get back the overpaid grain.

This news quickly caused a sensation in the whole county - I never heard that the food in the hands of the government can be returned!The sun really came out from the west.

Wu Ya once urged Wu De not to return the excess rice consumption.

"Rice consumption is originally uneven in both pain and happiness. There is more or less. It has already been collected, and it is not an exaggeration even if it is not refunded." Wu Ya also reminded him: It is certainly a matter of benefiting the people to equalize the consumption of rice, but I am afraid The total amount of rice consumption collected will decrease.In this way, the various expenses may not be enough, and they may have to be posted upside down.

Wu De insisted on treating everyone equally and ensuring "fairness".

"It doesn't matter even if it's upside down. What you need is the word 'equal'!" Wu De said indifferently.In fact, the Planning Commission has already done simple calculations. As long as each grain household pays according to the figure of three buckets, the amount of rice consumed will not be less than in previous years.Even if you need to subsidize a little, the cost is limited.

The grain households that have paid grain can go to Delong with the grain string to go through the formalities with the grain collection bureau, and then they can go to Delong to recover the over-collected rice consumed by the household house.At this time, Wu De once again experienced the chaos of doing things in ancient society.

Unexpectedly, quite a few grain households went to the Grain Collection Bureau and complained that they had paid the grain, but they had not received the grain strings.After asking, I found out that many small grain households have never received grain skewers.Wu De hurriedly asked someone to check the account books——the numbers on the official payment account books were completely inconsistent with what the grain households said—there were much fewer.Only after checking Chen Minggang's account did he know the exact figures.The food households really did not lie.The household book is playing a trick of charging more and paying less, so naturally it will not give food.

"Anyone who comes to check, we will help them check it out. Give them the proof of food refund according to the account books." Wu Dexin wondered if he had copied all of Chen Minggang's bottom books neatly this time, and had the help of Zhou Qi, a prostitute. Clarify, no one will be able to clear up this muddled account.

In addition to equalizing rice consumption and refunding over-collection, another major measure was to carry out the policy of using circulation coupons to offset grain taxes.

Since Transit Group began to issue circulation coupons, it has repeatedly promised that grain circulation coupons can be directly used to offset reasonable burdens.And it really did.Now, the scope of offsetting has been extended to the official grain tax—the value of which cannot be better reflected by the ability to pay the grain tax with circulation coupons.Especially in this time and space, we must know that the Ming government back then lived on its own words, asking the people to accept the government-issued Daming banknotes, but asking for copper coins and silver when collecting taxes.According to Yan Ming's view: Ming Dynasty banknotes are not called currency, they are purely a means of plundering by the government - the government doesn't even have the idea of ​​maintaining its most basic credit, thinking that it can guarantee its circulation with a piece of paper.

The memory of the Daming banknotes still remains, and Yan Ming often heard the old man talk about this kind of "paper" in his conversations with the indigenous people.According to the calculations, it has been at least eight or ninety years since the Daming Banknotes stopped circulating, but its bad influence has not subsided.

"Now is the time for us to expand the credit of negotiable bonds." Yan Ming excitedly pointed out this rare opportunity at the financial work meeting of the executive committee.

Circulation coupons are easy to use and can buy a lot of things. This is already a fact accepted by the people in Lingao.But the circulation certificate is still a little bit away from the real currency.Once the country's taxes can also be paid with negotiable notes, the credit value added by it is immeasurable.

After setting this precedent, in the future, the monetization of taxation can be carried out by using circulation coupons, and such tax collection in kind, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, will no longer be carried out.

Seeing that the circulation coupons can really be used to pay for food, the local farmers who were still skeptical about the circulation coupons have confidence in it-the government is willing to accept it, and the circulation coupons are not equivalent to real grain. what?

Some people who do odd jobs for the Time Traveling Group or do business with the Time Traveling Group have accumulated a lot of circulation coupons in their hands, and they don’t even need to send food to Delong, as long as they carry a stack of circulation coupons, they can directly convert according to the price on the counter. The ratio is paid to the grain.That is convenient and fast.Delong also opened a dedicated tax payment channel for circulation coupons.

"When the Daming Banknotes were issued in the past, they also said that they could be used to offset taxes, but when they took over from the government, they lived up to their promises." Wang Zhaomin, who has been following the Australians' grain requisition operations, sighed, "Now, the circulation notes will stand upright. gone."

The flow of people paying food quickly filled the three branches of Delong.For a while, the business volume increased sharply.This great situation made the members of the leadership team rejoice, but it also brought anxiety.The scene of hundreds of people queuing up to pay food every day greatly increases the possibility of malpractice.Wu De is well aware of the weakness of human nature. In the face of money, you must not place your confidence on human self-discipline—a strict system is necessary.

As a key enterprise of the Time Travel Group, Delong's indigenous employees are carefully selected and trained by the Time Travel Group. They are not only proficient in business, but also have a high level of loyalty.

"Loyalty does not equal incorruptibility. It is wishful thinking to rely on loyalty to self-discipline. Don't believe that what a certain person believes can be an exception." Yan Ming said.There is no corrupt official who does not sincerely love the system that promotes him and empowers him, but this love does not prevent him from poaching corners of the system to fill his own pockets.Even if doing so will eventually destroy the system, he doesn't care.

He sympathized with Wood's concerns.He is a student of accounting.Out of professional relationship, I feel much more deeply about the use of strict systems to regulate people's behavior than others.For this reason, he has long established a modern accounting system within Delong, which has ensured that no major internal fraud cases have occurred in Delong so far.

Now his system was supported by new products developed by stationery factories, beginning with carbon paper.In this way, it is possible to issue a multipart document with exactly the same handwriting.In the past, there were also handwritten multi-part slips, because they were copied several times, and it was impossible to determine whether they were written all at once or added later when checking.

Another important new product is watermark paper.There are also primitive watermarking methods in ancient times, but the effect is not good.A large number of standard documents printed by the printing factory for grain collection all use newly produced watermark paper. This new type of paper that cannot be produced by ancient technology makes it impossible to implement the method of digging and altering vouchers that was quite rampant in grain collection——Xu Officials and masters are especially good at this kind of craft. They can dig out words and sentences from documents and tickets, use paper and paste to patch them into a complete wall, and then rewrite them with ink pens.Ordinary people can hardly see it.

In addition to Yan Ming's internal strengthening of monitoring and the use of various technical means for prevention and control, Wu De also specially organized "flight inspections" to check the accounts of various branches from time to time and check the amount of food and circulation coupons collected.In addition, people were sent to conduct unannounced visits to see if fraudulent methods such as big and small buckets and pile tips that have been ordered to be banned are still being used.
