Chapter 881 People meet good officials and get hooked on money
The continuous rush made everyone very tired, leaving only the palace maids in cars and horses, who were responsible for organizing the manpower, singing and dancing.
The temperature in Huaiyuan is relatively stable, neither too cold nor too hot. In winter, there is nothing like dripping water turning into ice, and in summer, your head will not be so hot that your head will smoke.
The weather was just right a few days after the beginning of summer. Children among the common people were sleepy and went to sleep in tents. Those who wanted to continue drinking chatted around the campfire and watched the palace ladies dance.
People are just looking for fun. Normally, it is impossible for everyone to get together to eat and drink like this, especially from each village. If there is a big event in the same village, it is just a lively village.
Each village asked each other about how many chickens, ducks and geese they raised, and whether they also used bran to raise pigs and how many bamboo rats they bought
And this year What are you going to use to make silage? Why does your village buy cement? Your village sells cement-burning stones for a lot of money.
Each village wants to compare and learn about other people’s skills. and ideas, including how many people will be dispatched to build roads and river embankments this year.
In the tent, Zhu Wentian read the information of the sergeant who was teaching the people here, written on paper, and it was in the format of a question book.
Obviously, when the sergeant knew that he could teach others, he worked hard to improve his writing skills in preparation for being an official in the future. Anyway, the cake was drawn like this, and he could be an official.
In fact, that’s right. When they get older and can no longer fight, they will work as officials in various counties. There is not only one official in a county.
Nowadays, few officials are engaged in war. Some counties have no civil servants, not to mention county captains and county magistrates. They only have county magistrates who are busy with the chief clerk, and then find illiterate people to serve as yamen servants.
Once the sergeants retired and spread around the Ming Dynasty, the overall quality of the Ming Dynasty improved instantly. Now it is about teaching the people to read.
“The local officials are good and smart, and they know how to burn cement to repair it. Road, otherwise the local rainfall will make the road muddy, which will delay transportation.
There is no coal in Huaiyuan, there are many stones for burning cement, and there are also quartz stones for burning glass. >But where Bagong Mountain is located, yes, there is a lot of coal to the east of it. It happens to be mined and shipped down the river to Huaiyuan."
Zhu Wentian looked at the information and said, there is no Huainan City now. The title is not from Huaibei City.
There is coal in Huaibei, but it cannot be transported to Huaiyuan. Huainan is right next to the main stream of the Huaihe River, so it must pass through Huaiyuan. Is there any more convenient transportation condition?
So every village built cement. Roads, open ditches and culverts were also built with cement to facilitate cleaning.
I also made the pit of my own hut made of cement to make it easier to dig out manure. I also built a fermentation tank in the field to prevent children from passing through.
After the road was repaired, they planned to build a house again, using local granite as the foundation and paving gravel on other paths.
The climate is good and there is no shortage of water, which is suitable for planting, breeding, and selling food.The roads and mines are not good, so we are now working hard to repair them.
The village chief gathered together to watch and praised, "The local people have so many ideas. They don't need to work for a month every year. They go to work when they have time and bring their own dry food."
< p>It is written in the information that when the village chiefs saw that there was no busy farming, they immediately went to the county officials and asked the officials to dispatch craftsmen to direct the work, and the people in the village did it.The people in the yamen wrote down who came and how many days they worked. Some people even wrote down who worked for half a day, so they would have half a day to spare, and they would have to feed the pigs when they got home
The people For this, the county officials were also responsible. They wrote a booklet and sent it to Nanjing, asking them to post a list at the convenience store. If there was anything in the county, they could come and collect it. The price was not high.
As a result, the people in Huaiyuan County can sell more things and make more money, so they can continue to raise money.
After the cement is fired and milled with water, the cement is loaded onto ships and sent downstream. There are places downstream where there is no limestone and coal, so just buy the ones from Huaiyuan.
When merchants come, they naturally bring goods that are in short supply locally. When there are no department stores, the head of each village will lead people to purchase them together, and the price is lower than buying alone in the county.
“This is the result of the interaction between village officials and county officials. The entire Ming Dynasty should be like this, instead of seeking personal benefits.
Looking back and studying, local officials can How much money the local people make will be given to them as bonuses.
For example, one thousandth can be reflected in the tax. If the tax is 10,000 guan, they will get an extra 10 guan. .
When people live a good life, consumption will increase if they have more money, and thus taxes will increase. However, if GDP is not considered, it will be ineffective. ”
Zhu Wentian considered whether it would be effective. Local economic development is linked to the additional income of officials. Without additional tax increases, the more taxes there are, the more benefits will be given.
People do not pay taxes when selling pigs, poultry, eggs, grain, and vegetables.
But they will buy what they need after making money. At this time, whether it is a restaurant, a butcher shop, or a store, they have to pay taxes.
Li Chang frowned and didn’t understand: “If the growth is not good in the second year, the money will be less.”
“If you don’t care about growth, if an official is an official in this place, as long as he is The tax will be given to him one-thousandth. Even if he is transferred, the tax here will still be paid, but it can be changed to one-thousandth.
The new official’s tax will be increased on his basis. Counting new officials, it refers to the appointed chief officials, county magistrates, chief registrars, and county magistrates. Whoever contributes more will get more.
For example, some county magistrates say that I will not leave, and I will wait for the new arrival. The official continues to lead the people to increase income and raise taxes, and I can get money again.
This is okay, which means that he at least cooperates with the new county magistrate to do things. Otherwise, he will be demoted first.
Officials who leave are more willing to go to poor places, where they can perform better, get promoted more, and save a lot of money when they quit. ”
Zhu Wentian. It is said that such measures become more difficult the further they go, and the requirements for officials’ abilities are higher.
As for someone committing fraud, that is the work of the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Ministry of Household Affairs is also keeping an eye on the fraud, so bring me the tax. You can do it
"Then I will go back and write I have prepared the question book and sent it to His Majesty by telegram. Seeing what His Majesty wants, the people in our village should become local officials and make money."
The village chief was about to go back. He felt that according to this idea, the people in the village would be better off. You can lead people to get rich wherever you go, and then you will have endless money to spend.
"It's early and we have to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince. The other older people in the village can just take care of other things."
Zhu Wentian shook his head. People in the village who are forty or fifty years old cannot wait. When Zhu Biao ascended the throne, he became an official again, not because of his longevity, but because he was too old to be able to do it.
At the age of forty, after ten years of waiting, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to work anymore. He was tired. He was only over fifty years old, and the fifty-year-old in the village went to the local government to become an official
Those who are now in their thirties, plus their own and future children, are the most suitable to cooperate with Zhu Biao. When the time comes, we will consider how to do it. We can't control the court.
Li Changtiao Open the tent curtain, look around, say "I know," and go back to your tent.
Outside the tent are people from the village who are looking for wives, sitting here eating and chatting, and they are responsible for keeping an eye on it.
