After browsing Xu Yi's gifts, Gao Hanwen discovered that there was also a note in the box.
This is not a couplet, but Hunan Province’s expected annual field tax increase of 60% and commercial tax increase of 1,000%. The expected annual field tax amount of 50% and commercial tax amount of 70% have been registered and stored in the treasury.
Obviously, Xu Yi was dissatisfied with the fact that he did not directly respond to the previous tax increase, but used the resolution of the Good People's Assembly to shirk it. So Henan was used to put pressure again.
But, is Henan Province’s tax collection efficiency so high? The key is that commercial taxes have increased so much? Although Henan's commercial tax base is low, it has increased tenfold, making it the third largest commercial tax province in the Ming Dynasty after Zhejiang and South Zhili.
What’s going on? Is this Orthodox religion developing its economy so rapidly now?
Gao Hanwen’s mind is full of lawsuits, but he really hasn’t seen any winter refugees in Henan recently. I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. It’s unlikely that once a truly Orthodox priest comes, the people of Henan will have a good life.
But in any case, Gao Hanwen did not believe that such a change would happen just by taking Liu Changqing away, and that the land tax and business tax would double. There is actually a kind of beauty in setting off fireworks.
Now that Henan was definitely a fraud, Gao Hanwen didn't panic. Since the other party is fake, the secret will definitely be exposed next year when the Ministry of Household Treasury collects silver taels from business taxes and grain taxes from fields.
Even if Gao Gong wants to help the Zhengjiao side, he won’t be able to spend a lot of money to make the entire household department and Jinyiwei follow him in the fraud, right?
When the lie is exposed, it will be up to us what Eunuch Xu will use to act as a check and balance.
I believe this kind of lie. Fortunately, this eunuch wants to please Long Qing and is waiting to be transferred back to the palace by holding back a big trick to make a meritorious service. It's a pity that Gao Hanwen is a normal person, and things like this that look fake at first glance can't scare people.

Since the problem is not big, Gao Hanwen’s busy focus has returned to the construction of Tenri University Hall that he had been thinking about in the new year.
Logically, this matter should be started in the autumn. Isn’t this delayed because of the soul-calling wizard case? Li Zhi has been busy up front.
For such a crazy person, I originally thought that I would get bored after doing this for a while. Unexpectedly, after diving into the realm of heavenly principles, this guy originally felt that the disciplines of Confucianism were not worth mentioning, but now he is almost as comfortable as a fish in water, and finally found his own freedom.
It is hard to imagine what the state of such a liberal arts madman would be like once he enters the realm of God and evolves into a scientific researcher.
In order to gain a foothold, Li Zhi is planning two big events so that he can surprise the whole audience at the opening ceremony of Tianli University Hall in half a year. The first one is to replicate what Gao Hanwen previously boasted about the two-hemisphere experiment that the Westerners had done more than a thousand years ago. The same Maratha hemisphere proved the existence of atmospheric pressure. At the same time, the latest generation steam engine was installed in the Hongdou Garment Maintenance Room and was the first to be replaced on the current horse-drawn rail train.
The second big job is to demonstrate hand-cranked power generation and test electric lighting,Projects such as wired telegraph machines and electromagnetic fields.
These things used to be a project for wizards and Taoists to compete with masters. Unexpectedly, they can be summarized into experience and everyone can master them.
Among them, Gao Hanwen was mainly responsible for reminding some concepts with his words, and Li Zhi led some of the people he recruited to do the rest. In terms of application trial and error, Gao Hanwen is not worried about Daming's craftsmen. Apart from not wanting to use his head to think about theories, it is still good to think about assembly and design.
While struggling, Li Zhi began to write the electricity and air pressure related content planned by Gao Hanwen. He also had to expand Gao Hanwen's pure mechanics of inertia, momentum, inertia, kinetic energy, potential energy, vibration, and circular motion.
Gao Hanwen’s memory of these middle and high school physics has been blurred, so it would be good if he could remember a concept. In order to understand these concepts, Li Zhi had to let go of the Confucian constraints of his mind and look for material and case comparisons in reality. Only when you understand it yourself can you turn it into cases and put them into the teaching materials.
Shaolin and Longquan Temple are basically responsible for the optical part. Who asked them to figure out a prism light splitting and synthetic white light experiment where color is empty.
Forget about omissions from the textbook, there are no exercises yet. It is the same as Gao Hanwen's approach in the economics university hall, mainly to encourage students to ask questions. Then sort out, modify and fill in these questions to become future exercises.
Really, the amount and quality of after-school homework that future generations of students can enjoy depends entirely on the activity of the first few batches of students. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
