Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1186: Take over Lan Tian (Part 2)!

? Yunshan Courtyard, the main hall of Li Mansion.

After hearing Li Zexuan's words, He County magistrate couldn't help being shocked. The ratio of agricultural tax and commercial tax was reversed. No one dared to think about this since ancient times!

Ancient China was an agrarian society. In all dynasties and dynasties, the emphasis was on agriculture and restraint of business. Of course, this suppression did not refer to excessive levy of business taxes, but to put many restrictions on the status of businessmen, such as scholars, farmers, industry, and business. The classification of classes directly nails the merchants to the bottom of society!

Although the Tang Dynasty followed the previous generations, it was stipulated that merchants or those who were once merchants in their ancestors could not be officials, and restricted the color of their clothes, but in real life, merchants could enter and leave the palace to interact with high-ranking officials and nobles. Others can also pass the exams and become officials, and the social status of businessmen is gradually improving compared with the previous dynasties.

Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibited the nobility and bureaucrats from competing for profit with the people, they could not withstand the temptation of huge wealth.

It is precisely because of this that the proportion of commercial taxes collected in the Tang Dynasty was so low, because vested aristocrats and bureaucratic groups would oppose the ruler's "competition with the people for profit"! Moreover, the nobles and bureaucrats want to avoid tax, it is simply not too easy, which directly leads to the imperial court’s annual commercial tax revenue even being less than one-tenth of the agricultural tax. Over time, the rulers pay more and more attention to commercial tax. low!

This problem is not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in many dynasties before and after the Tang Dynasty!

That’s why County Madam He was so surprised after listening!

"Hou Ye! If you rashly change the commercial tax ratio, I am afraid that all the shops in Lantian County will be moved out, and the gentry in the city may also object together. I am afraid that we will receive less commercial tax. Ah!"

He county magistrate has been an official for so many years, and his administration experience is much richer than that of Li Zexuan. He almost instantly thought of the consequences of the increase in business tax.

Li Zexuan smiled and waved his hand, and said: "I don't mention this in advance. In the future, Benhou will naturally have a way to make the merchants in the county pay more taxes! Benhou will wait until he is familiar with the specific situation of Lantian County. Others, otherwise it’s really a matter of paper!"

He county magistrate heard this and couldn’t help but feel good about Li Zexuan. In fact, before he came, he worried that Li Zexuan would follow his own wishes and arbitrarily implement government orders. If that were the case, he would have nothing to do. After all, Lantian County was completely Li Zexuan's fiefdom, as long as Li Zexuan does not rebel, no one can control it!

It now seems that although Li Zexuan means "reform", he did not directly force "reform" arbitrarily, which made him feel a little relieved!

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, what a department fears most is to "airborne" a leader who doesn't understand anything, and likes to command blindly!

"Master Hou, you are very modest! In recent days, the officials and the county princes in the yazhong will sort out the situation of the villagers in Lantian County into a book, and send it to Master Hou!" /

He county magistrate arches.

"That will work!"

Thinking that he has become the "king" of Lantian County and can give orders, Li Zexuan's heart can't help being faintly excited. In his previous life, he played city simulation games such as "City Skyline" and felt that he would be a mayor and plan a city. , It is a great thing to let his citizens live a good life. Now, he has directly become the "king" of a piece of land, controlling the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, and the excitement in his heart is not comparable in the game. of.

Of course, after the excitement, what he felt was the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He wanted to let all his fiefs live a good life! He wants Lantian County to become the richest county in the entire Datang, and even the entire world!

He county magistrate waved his hand quickly, saying that he was welcome, then he seemed to think of something again, and said:

"That's right! Lord Hou! Your mansion in the county seat has been planned. The county government is about to recruit craftsmen to help you repair the mansion. If you have any needs or requirements, just send someone to tell the next official!"

Although Li Zexuan has mansions in Chang'an and Yunshan, now that he has been sealed off the entire Lantian County, he must also buy a mansion in the county town. One is to declare the identity of Lantian County’s owner, and the other is to facilitate the ordinary The officials of the county government report to Li Zexuan!

Li Zexuan thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to pay people or money from the county government. I will send someone to build it in a while, so I don't have to worry about the county magistrate!"

The county magistrate He hurriedly said: "How did this make it? Since Lord Hou was awarded Lantian, repairing the mansion for Lord Hou was originally part of the Yamen. How can Lord Hou spend the money?"

Li Zexuan waved his hand and smiled: "Come on! Benhou is not short of the money. If the county magistrate really feels sorry, he will use the money originally given to Benhou to repair the mansion this month and send it to the officials and brothers in the office. Double the monthly salary! Quandang should be a little bit of your wish!"

Others are three fires when new officials take office, but Li Zexuan first gave a new official a candy, but his "sugar" is not so delicious. If he finds that someone in the county office is not doing well in the future, he will Retracted unceremoniously.

He county magistrate thought of Li Zexuan's current wealth, so he couldn't continue to persuade him, he could only hand over and said: "Then the official will replace everyone in the office, thank you Lord Hou!"

After explaining the matter and making a preliminary handover of some affairs in Lantian County, He County Order made a goodbye.

He was very satisfied with the result of this negotiation. Li Zexuan did not make things difficult for him, and for the time being, he will not be dictated by the county's "personnel structure" and government orders, and Lantian County will not be completely confused because of the "airborne" coming to a master!

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it came to the fifteenth of the first lunar month-the Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, the Little New Year, the Lantern Festival or the Lantern Festival!

The fifteenth of the first lunar month is the night of the first full moon of the year. It is also the night of the renewal of the unity and the rejuvenation of the earth. People celebrate this and also celebrate the continuation of the new year. Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar~IndoMTL.com~" and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. It was even more prosperous since the Sui, Tang, and Song Dynasties.

"The trees of fire and silver blossom, and the iron locks of the star bridges open. The dark dust follows the horses, and the bright moon comes by people. The riders are all sturdy and plump, and the songs are full of plum blossoms. Jinwu can't help the night, and the jade is not reminded."

From the song "Fifteen Nights of the First Moon" by Su Wei of the Tang Dynasty, we can probably see the grand occasion of the Chinese Lantern Festival.

Actually, since the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the city of Chang'an has lifted a curfew. On fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth, for three consecutive nights, the people in the city can go out to enjoy the lanterns, which is called "the night." .

So, during these rare three nights, from the nobles and the nobles to the traffickers and pawns, everyone went out to enjoy the lights. As a result, the traffic jam in Chang'an is full of crowds and excitement.

Li Zexuan, because he was trapped in Yunshan, naturally couldn't feel the excitement of Chang'an City last night, but early this morning, someone hurried from Chang'an City to Yunshan.
