Standing on the pier, watching several sailboats sail away, shopkeeper Huang Da, Xiao Qiao, shopkeeper Qiao San couldn't help but a stone fell to the ground.

Several ships were loaded with goods worth 20 taels of silver used to test the water, from cotton cloth to cooking oil, refined salt, sugar, grain, and a huge amount of Nanzhong Tongbao bought in exchange for 5000 taels of silver.Ready to use one or two in the Mainland.

In addition to these rambunctious things, such as mirrors, glass, gems, spices and other small, high-value small objects, they dare not be careless in the sight of the guys.In order to prevent accidents, shopkeeper Huang specially took the tax bill to the insurance number attached to the shipping company to insure the goods for his trip. Although it cost nearly a thousand taels of silver, but thinking that the price of the goods of 20 silver can be guaranteed, he immediately returned. Think it's worth the money!

"Xiao Qiao, I will leave this place to you. I will go back to Nanjing by boat with those Jiangxi Prime Ministers tomorrow. When the letter from the master arrives at the main office in Nanjing, I will forward it to you immediately. You must implement it properly." The owner's meaning."

"Boss shopkeeper, after you arrive at the general office in Nanjing, try to get in touch with the people in Longshengxing, and see if you can let the several tea ticket shops and pawnshops of the owner establish a joint account with Longshengxing. In this way, we will do business in Nanzhong You don’t need to carry large sums of money for business. You just need to make an account with each other.”

Shopkeeper Huang tilted his head and thought for a while. "You have a good idea! Our master, with the seven phases, is afraid that the business between them is tens of millions of taels every year? If all the money used in the business route to Nanzhong is attributed to the business of the master, this amount It’s also amazing! I’m afraid there are more than a thousand taels?”

"Boss, my subordinates have heard that Nanzhong has started exchange business with Japan, Tianzhu and other places. A document is a payment certificate of hundreds of thousands of silver. There are a lot more positions that can be mobilized. We can play the role of remittance from various companies in the south of the Yangtze River to Japan, to Tianzhu, and to the French, Portuguese, Spaniards, and English. It is equivalent to the silver of Jiangnan. I also have a part of it!"

"One more thing, my subordinates feel that in the near future, Nanzhong may import less grain to Jiangnan and Jiangxi. Any change in the price of grain in Jiangnan will definitely affect the capital, Jiubian, and Liaodong. The owner should make some preparations earlier. It would be better to store some grain in the warehouse."

I heard Xiao Qiao say this.Shopkeeper Huang stopped in his tracks.A pair of eyes fixed on Xiao Qiao's face for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Little Qiao. Did you hear something again?"

"When I went to the shipping company to book a boat the day before yesterday, I heard from the people in the shipping company that there have been a lot of Fujian businessmen coming to Nanzhong to purchase various commodities, especially food, gunpowder, and weapons. The number is several times higher than that at this time last year. Some people also said that for the ships of the South China Army passing through the sea of ​​Jinsha, there are always ships of Zheng Zhilong's navy on the left and right."

"Hey! Xiao Qiao, maybe it's because Mr. Zheng and General Li have a good relationship, so they sent the navy to escort them through their defense zone."

"Then those armors, gunpowder, knives, guns and equipment are also because of good relations, so you need to store more?"

Xiao Qiao's tone changed a little in a hurry.

"Perhaps Mr. Zheng resold it? Just like those soldiers and horses in Datong Town, Shanxi Town, and Jingying? There are bandits and bandits in Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces near his Fujian Water and Land Army. It is unexpected to sell some military weapons. among the things."

Nowadays, it is an open secret that soldiers and horses steal and sell armaments everywhere, so shopkeeper Huang Da said so.

"I don't think it's a big shopkeeper! I talked with old Jiangxi cousins ​​when I came back. They are adjacent to Fujian, and the two provinces often have business contacts. But I haven't heard of Fujian's army selling ordnance to neighboring provinces! "

Since there is no sale to the outside world, but a large number of weapons are purchased and gunpowder and shells are stored, there is only one answer.

"what do you mean?"

"Since the shopkeeper has already guessed it, why bother to ask me?"

Shopkeeper Huang and Xiao Qiao both saw their inner judgments on this matter from each other's eyes.

"You're right. We must stockpile more grain. At that time, once the waterway in Fujian changes, we can dominate the grain business in Nanjing!"

"Shengming, the shopkeeper! In fact, it doesn't necessarily mean that there has been a change. Sometimes we can also create some disturbances!"

"Little Qiao, you, you! Don't be in a hurry to take my seat, you are too anxious to treat me as the front wave."

"The subordinates don't dare, it's just a little stupid opinion. It's my luck that the big shopkeeper is not a joke."

The two chatted and laughed, and An Bu returned to the shop under preparation in the car.

There are woods being processed and shavings everywhere, and there is a scent of broken wood in the air.A few men in official clothes were waiting in the shade of the courtyard.

"Excuse me, which one of you is the master here?"

When the leading officials saw someone coming back, the leaders of the craftsmen greeted them one after another, knowing that it must be the head of the Sanjin Merchant House who had returned.

"It's just that, may I ask what is the master's order?"

Shopkeeper Qiao San is the principal of the Sanjin Merchant House registered in Hue.Seeing the visitor asking, he stepped forward to talk.

"Please take out your household registration booklet, dental stickers, and tax receipts. We are here to investigate."

"investigation?"

Another new thing appeared in front of Shanxi people.

"Yes. The new policy arranged by the lord. It is necessary to find out how many people, how many fields, how many roads, mountains, rivers, forests, and how many livestock there are in our Nanzhong. How many, how many are women, how many are adults, how many are minors, how many are over 60 years old. What kind of business do you do? Working, farming, doing business, teaching or other things, how much capital money you have for doing business, and the main business What is it, what kind of craft do the migrant workers make a living on, and so on.”

The person who checked the water meter, the investigator, took out a form from the leather cylinder behind him, took out a pen and paper from the household book, and was about to investigate the people in the Sanjin Commercial Hall here.

Why did you want to investigate this? Shopkeeper Huang Da, who was not so bright in his heart, immediately gave a wink, and shopkeeper Qiao San immediately understood, and stepped forward to chat with the investigator.Try to get something out of them.

"Strange. There is an economic census. It has been published in the newspaper for several consecutive issues. Notices are also posted on the bulletin boards in various cities. Even the storyteller in the teahouse is also ordered to talk about it before the opening. How can you not know the rationale and purpose of this economic census?"

The investigator looked at shopkeepers Huang Da and Qiao San with strange eyes.

"Oh, we are new here. We have been busy doing business. We only care about the prices of various goods every day. Quality, variety, and naturally we don't care about other things."

"In the future, don't just get into the eyes of money, but also care more about other things! How far can your vision be? How big can your business be!"

Shopkeeper Qiao San heard the investigator admonishing him behind Shopkeeper Huang, and couldn't help but want to laugh for a while. This was clearly the words of the shopkeeper's lecture that day!

Holding a dipping pen in his hand, the investigator registered the household registration books of shopkeeper Qiao San and shopkeeper Huang respectively. The difference is that shopkeeper Huang is blue for temporary residence, while shopkeeper Qiao San is for long-term residence. green.

Name, age, place of origin, occupation, position held, registered capital of the business, amount of tax paid, main business content, scope, and employees, including the number of people from the Mainland and the number of locals in Nanzhong, (the so-called locals refer to Local people with Chinese household registration, including Han Miao, Dai, Wa, etc. The Jing nationality, which has a large number in the Annan area, also claims that they are Han people whose ancestors came from Fujian, so they are naturally included in the ranks of Han people.) Nanzhong There are so many natives, and the number is so detailed and cumbersome, it feels like being stripped naked and thrown in full view, as if countless people used rulers and pens to measure and record.

This is much more detailed than the fish-scale albums used to record land taxes in the Mainland.At most, the scribes of the households in the fish-scale booklet recorded the location, grade, and four lands of the land in the jurisdiction, the amount of land tax that should be paid, and whether it was an estate in the name of a famous person who could be exempted from tax.If not, how much taxation money and food was sprinkled on this field and so on.It is an exclusive secret book handed down by scribes from father to son.

However, what is Nanzhong doing here?

"God! This is clearly another doomsday book!"

Under the crucifix statue in the church, Father Alfonso waved the cross in his hand and roared loudly, but he could only roar loudly. As for the investigators, he didn't have the guts to beat them up or drive them out of the church.In that case, the demolition team would be attracted and the church that had been in operation for ten years would be razed to the ground.

The so-called Doomsday Judgment was a compilation of the results of the national agrarian survey ordered by the famous William I the Conqueror.The purpose is to understand the real estate situation of the king's land and the king's direct vassals in order to collect taxes, strengthen financial management, and determine the feudal obligations of the vassals.He divided England at that time into several large regions, each containing several counties.Understand the situation according to the system of counties, [-]-household districts, and villages.The contents of the investigation include the ownership of the local real estate, the area of ​​each manor, the number of tools and livestock, the number of farmers of various types, the area of ​​grassland, pasture, forest, fish pond, and the value of the real estate.The survey results were compiled and compiled into a book, which was used as the first-hand information for tax collection.

Father Alfonso naturally knew this story, and he believed that these investigators were also preparing for better collection of taxes in the future.

The investigators didn't know what the doomsday book meant by the foreign monk, but they all knew that the errands assigned by the lord and the general's mansion must be completed without compromise.

"Name? Age? Occupation? Religion?"

Seeing that the group of investigators were reticent, Father Alfonso had no choice but to put away the pure gold cross inlaid with rubies in his hand.

"Alfonso, 52 years old, I am God's shepherd."

"Sheep herder? Where's your sheep?"

An obviously naturalized minority investigator, a little confused, this magnificent church.How can it be compared with a sheep pen full of fishy smell and feces?

"idiot!"

Father Alfonso cursed in his heart, but he still had to explain to the investigator, who was obviously guilty, so that his not very bright mind could turn around.

"Ahu, write it this way. His occupation is a priest, which is the same as the Taoist priests of Xuanmiao Temple. The so-called God's shepherds are their own words in their teachings, which means the same as monks!"

An older investigator briefly explained to Ahu the difference between the so-called God shepherd and sheep herding.

"How much is the annual income. What kind of occupation do you live on. How much is the industry and whether you employ workers."

A series of investigation subjects brought tears to Alfonso's eyes, and he raised his head to pray towards the portrait of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus on the dome.

"Holy Virgin Mary! Please use your merciful heart to forgive the greed and crimes of this group of people! It turns out that all Europeans think that the last judgment of William the Conqueror is the most excessive and cruel. Now I know, Once compared with Li Shouhan, His Majesty William I is so merciful and merciful!"

"Father. What are you thinking?"

There was a hidden edge in the words of the older investigators. "This investigation was ordered by the lord. The purpose is to find out the family background of Nanzhong! How many people, how many fields, how many livestock, how many boats, what do the people on this land live on? Occupation, whether you can read and write, whether you rely on farming or labor, these things, the lord must know! You go out of Hue City and look around, from Ha Tinh to Thanh Hoa, from Nanzhang to Luzon, from Kowloon From the Chao Phraya River to the Chao Phraya River, from Lingjiawei to Manlaka, and even the boats going to Shizhou, they all brought investigators and printed questionnaires! Fearing that they would not be enough, the boats also carried printing plates and ink, ready to go to Shizhou Printed after the state!"

The investigator's soft but hard words were like a blow to the head, which made Alfonso come to his senses, and he could only answer the investigator's questions truthfully.After the group of people left, Father Alfonso collapsed on the kneeling stool as if all his strength had been taken out of him.

"Oh God!"

He muttered to himself.He tightly held the stub of the survey form that he signed and confirmed.

This questionnaire surveyed him and his church, the house, land they own, the number of believers, the church's priests, deacons, nuns, and workers.

Now on Li Shouhan's table, the situation in this church must be the same as that of Jesus?

He raised his head and looked at the Brother Su whom Li Shouhan was talking about being nailed to the cross.Father Alfonso couldn't help but two lines of tears flowed down his eyes.

"Will churches have to pay taxes in the future?"

The same investigation was conducted not only in churches, but also in high-rise residential courtyards of the South China Army with carved beams and painted buildings, to native villages built with bamboo and wood.From the farmer driving the buffalo and plowing in the fields with the plowshare, to the steelworker whose face is stained with dust mixed with sweat in front of the ironmaking furnace, to the manufacturing worker who has completed a process at his own station , to the weavers who had just picked up a piece of woven cotton cloth from the fruit dismounting machine and were about to go to the foreman to count, all of which were visited by the investigators.

Such investigations range from Laojie, which is across the river from Yunnan in the north, to the Banten Islands and Kaliman Islands in the south, to Luzon and Taiwan in the east, and even to the more distant Shizhou and Kuyi Island.

What Ling Shouhan didn't expect was that this kind of investigation had the effect of inadvertently inserting willows and willows.Strong mobilization and organizational capabilities, a large number of investigators went to the village to investigate, and some native villages in remote areas and native kings on some islands went to the nearby Nanzhong Army to request surrender.

If you can't become a strong man yourself, then you must follow the strong man closely.In this way, you can share the light of the strong.This is the consistent practice and survival criterion of these nations.

"I didn't think about it. I just wanted to find out how many fields and industries our South Central Army has, how much grain and oil can be harvested every year, and how much steel, wood, porcelain, glass, cotton cloth, and mirrors can be produced in the factory every year. How many spices are there in the plantation every year, and how much money can be exchanged for? How many ships can be built and launched in the shipyard every year. In case when we go to Beijing, people ask us, we don’t know what to ask, and we are laughed at by those big bosses in the court. We don’t know. How much money is there, I don’t know how many soldiers, I don’t know how many foolish generals there are!”

Shou Han's words sounded like he was joking, but from the perspective of an effective governance and management government, it was very necessary.

Understanding one's own actual situation is very necessary for formulating various policies and even making strategic decisions.This is why, when all the generals entered Xianyang, they plundered treasures wantonly, but Xiao He immediately collected and carried away the archives of the Qin Dynasty.

It was by relying on these documents and the undamaged water conservancy infrastructure in Guanzhong that Xiao He was able to help his fellow villager Liu Sansheng use material and human resources to kill the victorious Xiang Yu.

And these came from the effective management and rule of the Qin Dynasty.

According to historical records, Qin should be the first regime to implement digital management.

Each field has been carefully graded by the government, and then according to the grade of the field, the number of seeds that should be sown will be calculated, and then there will be a detailed evaluation result for the germination rate and harvest.When it comes to the autumn harvest, if the harvest of this piece of land is lower than the pre-assessment, then the farmers who cultivated it and the officials in charge will be punished.

Therefore, rather than saying that Qin eliminated the six countries in the Kanto region by relying on powerful force, it is better to say that it relied on effective management to discover the greatest war potential in the country, and relied on this war potential to eliminate the six countries.
