Chapter 81 Governance Strategy
"Master Governor, how should we, Xuezheng, take the exam?" Juren, who thought he was about to take the post of Shunchang Xuezheng, stood up and asked. In the past, this was based on how many talented people were tested in each county, but this imperial examination is held every three years.
How can I take the exam in half a year?
"Sir Ma must have told you that our Jianzhou is different from other places in that our teaching is pragmatic. Each county has a county school, and you can select the best and recruit them for a period of three years. After the three-year period, the students can
When taking the state examination, the academic performance of each county will be determined based on the number of students admitted to the state school. In order to prevent students from not wanting to make progress, assessments are conducted once every six months, and the state will set unified assessment questions. Each county's academic examination will be cross-proctored, and the comprehensive results of the examination will be used.
, as the basis for the academic examination, do you have any doubts?" Among this group of people, Sun Yu values the four academic officials the most, and they will help him sow the seeds of science in this land.
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for clearing up the confusion. Xiaosheng understands." The Xuezheng official handed over his hand. Xuezheng's examination is the simplest, and everything is based on the students' test scores. This means that we have to carefully select those young students.
Sun Yu also wanted to set up a nine-year compulsory education, but it didn't work. It was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. He could only train a group of outstanding talents first, and then gradually expand teaching when conditions allowed.
scale.
"Eat all of them. The food is getting cold, so we can't waste it." Sun Yu picked up the bowl and took a big bite. Although the people below were also hungry, they ate much more gracefully.
Three days later, the county magistrates from Youxi, Fusha, and Shunchang counties all arrived. Sun Yu summoned them to hold the first Jianzhou Officials Conference.
"Jianzhou is barren, as you all know very well. The reason why we serve as officials is to benefit the village. Therefore, I have the following considerations: First, register the household registration. Under the rule of Jianzhou, no illegal households are allowed to exist. Notice to the village.
Starting next year, those who are not naturalized will not be allowed to own land, real estate, enter the city, and their children will not be allowed to go to school. Second, the land must be accounted for. Under the rule of Jianzhou, every piece of land must be registered. For those who are not registered, the land will be confiscated.
The government uniformly rents it to farmers for farming. Third, under the rule of Jianzhou, a stepped taxation is implemented. No tax is levied on each household's land less than three acres, and 10% is collected from 3 to 10 acres, and 15% is collected from 10 to 30 acres.
The harvest from 30 to 50 acres will be 20%, the harvest from 50 to 100 acres will be 30%, and the harvest over 100 acres will be 40%. Newly opened wasteland will be tax-free for three years, and when a man becomes an adult and marries a wife, he can start an independent household. Fourth:
Whenever someone in the family joins the Jianzhou Army and serves in the Jianzhou Army, one person will be exempted from tax for ten acres, and will be given priority in renting government land. Fifth, all merchants in Jianzhou will clearly mark their prices and charge a commercial tax of 1/10 of the value of the goods. However, if there is any violation, he will be severely punished.
.Sixth: Except for land tax and commercial tax, all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted. The government is not allowed to show off the corvee, but can only pay to recruit people."
"Everyone, the above is your top priority this year, and it is also the project for the end-of-year assessment. If you have any difficulties, just ask, and everyone will refer to it together." What Sun Yu wants is to sort out everything in Jianzhou first, and ensure tax fairness.
, as in the past, it is absolutely impossible for the poor to pay more taxes and the rich to pay less or even evade taxes.
"Your Excellency, the governor, the three hundred acres of land that comes with the title of promotion are tax-free. This is stated in the law." Zhou Chuan stood up and asked, as this is related to the vital interests of everyone here.
"Under my rule, tax exemptions cannot be opened. With this, there will be all kinds of concealment and hiding. In this way, as long as you have the honor of being promoted, you can receive 50 shi from the government as compensation every year. If you have the title of Jinshi, you can
Receive two hundred stones." Sun Yu thought about it for a while and decided that he couldn't open up the tax exemption, but after all, the person who was promoted had a merit recognized by the court, so he couldn't get no preferential treatment at all.
With fifty shi of grain, at least the family can live a decent life. As for the 200 shi of rice that Jinshi receives, that's just talk. There are no Jinshi families in Jianzhou. There were some before, but they all ran away when there was banditry.
"Your Majesty, this method is very good." Zhou Chuan calculated silently and found that although the treatment was a little less, it was still pretty good. Most of the three hundred acres of tax-exemption given to Juren were used by the family to evade taxes, and what he got was less than the fifty shi of grain.
Not much more.
"Lord Governor, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to set up tax rates. Those who occupy more than a hundred acres are local wealthy families. If they fight, I'm afraid it will cause local unrest." Cao Fa, the magistrate of Fusha County, was a little worried. For example, the Bai family,
There are thousands of acres of fertile land, and Bai Yong is still serving as a captain under the governor. If this is true, those wealthy families may be in trouble.
"No matter who it is, even if it is my relatives and friends, there are only two options, either to separate households and live separately, or to pay taxes according to regulations. If anyone dares to violently resist taxes, he will be treated like a fool by me. All their homes will be ransacked and all will be sent to the mines.
I am working hard. My army happens to be short of pay. If you are not willing to pay the taxes, I will personally lead the army to get it. The Qingyuan army has more than ten thousand elites, and I am not afraid of it. Is it a big family? Can it be bigger than me?" Sun Yu
With the Tianshu Sword in hand, the murderous intention is clearly revealed. You have to give these people some understanding, otherwise you will inevitably be timid and timid in doing things, and how can you accomplish anything.
"What the Governor said is true!" This is what Cao Fa wanted. After receiving this sentence, he would feel confident. The Jianzhou Army and the Governor were his solid backing.
When the others saw this posture, they couldn't help but nodded. What the Lord said is indeed true. It's not enough to put on the airs of a wealthy family in front of him. How can you be bigger than the Duke's Mansion?
"Sir, this land that is not registered in the register will be regarded as owned by the government. So, is there any charter for leasing the land from the government to farmers?" Cui Lun asked with his hand raised. If there is no fixed charter, corruption may easily occur.
"The population and the amount of land vary from place to place, so you can make your own decisions. There is only one requirement. On the basis of growing food on all the land, collect as much rent as possible, refer to the tax, and leave 20% to the county.
" Regarding this, Sun Yu really doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach. Some places have less land but more people, and some places have less land and more people. How can we generalize? Besides, the fields are not the same. They are also divided into upper, middle and lower counties. It can only be done by county.
Adapted to local conditions.
In the following time, officials from various counties communicated with each other. After all, it should be implemented this time.
Early the next morning, all county officials returned, accompanied by Jianzhou soldiers. After all, every county had been hollowed out by Sun Yu before. This time, each county still needs some money and food to recruit people and carry out the work.
.
"Everyone, you have two books in your hands, one on arithmetic and one on science. This book was compiled by me personally. Of course, the knowledge in it comes from my tutor." Sun Yu had compiled the teaching materials before and handed them over to the printing workshop.
After printing a lot, everyone has to take it back to the county school to learn the truth. What Sun Yu has to do now is to teach everyone the knowledge here and let them learn it first.
"This is the Arabic numerals from one to nine..." Arabic numerals are simple and clear for learning mathematics, so it is natural to teach them.
In the Song family in Quanzhou City, the head of the family, Song Lianzheng, looked pensive. His son Song Wumian brought the latest news about Jianzhou. The development speed of Jianzhou obviously exceeded his expectations. Not only did they open up wasteland on a large scale, but they were also building new cities.
The most incredible thing is that we made something like cement.
"Father, if Jianzhou really has that kind of weapon, we can use it to conquer the world." Song Wumian had been completely led astray by Sun Yu, and now he only wanted to get that kind of weapon.
, no matter what the price is.
"Have you seen it?" What is the magic power of this Jianzhou? The eldest son, who was originally mature and prudent, was so impatient after a trip. Although he intended to bet on Sun Yu, he did not intend to hang himself on a tree.
A cooperative relationship.
"That's not true, but father, how can this kind of thing be shown to others casually? If he really showed it to me directly, I don't think he would be a great person." Song Wumian shook his head, if so
You have to cover yourself tightly. But Sun Yu's posture is definitely not a person who talks nonsense, and it is worth taking a gamble.
"Wumian, please calm down first. Our Song family has a hundred-year-old family business and has accumulated it for six generations to be where we are today. If we make a mistake, it may be overturned in one day, so we have to think carefully." Song Lian is old, so he only
Thinking about maintaining this family business, I no longer have the ambition.
"Father, don't you want to take a chance and let the Song family go to the next level? Mr. Sun is the master of the Duke's Mansion. He holds the territory of a state and has over ten thousand soldiers under his command, but he is still working hard. Our Song family,
He is one of the leading wealthy families in Quanzhou, but in the final analysis he is just a businessman. Then Chen Hongjin can make us afraid and overwhelmed. As for my little sister, is she really willing to enter the palace?" Song Wumian felt that it is still too late now.
If Sun Yu's ship is given some more time to soar into the sky, it will be too late.
"That's enough. Then what kind of ecstasy soup did Mr. Sun give you? You dare to criticize your father? Isn't your little sister doing well? She is well-dressed and well-fed every day, and is surrounded by people. Is there anything better in Quanzhou?
Where are you going?" Song Lian was furious. He had spent so much time worrying about this marriage.
"After my little sister got married, did she ever come back? Father, you know it in your heart, but you always don't want to face it. Have you seriously asked my little sister if he is doing well? Is this what she wants?" Song Wu
Mian Gong pressed his neck against him, it was the first time in his life that he was so bold.
"Being a father is also for the sake of my Song family's fortune. How many people in this world are staring at my Song family. If I'm not careful, I will be doomed. It's very painful for Shen'er, but as a child of the Song family, I have to have this kind of awareness.
"Song Lian let out a long sigh, Chuan'er must be unwilling. Who can really want to sleep with a bad old man? She must be full of resentment towards her father.
"If our Song family's century-old family business needs to be maintained on this, it would be a shame for the Song family. Mr. Sun made it clear that one day, if he can form a maritime fleet, he hopes that his son can help him. If that day comes, my Song family will
It is no longer a family of merchants, but a family of generals. Why should we rely on the nepotism of the women in the family to maintain it?" The Song family is now at best a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou. When Chen Hongjin came out of the Chen family, the Song family was overwhelmed. If it weren't for the palace
My sister, the Chen family might have come to my door long ago.
"Perhaps my father is really old. Since you insist on having your own way, I will help you and I will settle the other two families. Next month, the prince will hold a wedding and officially adopt his brother's son to his knees. You go and follow you
My little sister said, let the prince invite Mr. Sun, and we should meet him." Since his son is wholeheartedly seeking refuge with Sun Yu, he can't stop him. After all, the Song family will eventually be handed over to him. Besides, his son
You are right, you should always give it a try. If you miss this opportunity, I don’t know what year it will be next time.
"Thank you, father. My son will take care of it now." He and his younger sister are the closest, and her younger sister is the prince's favorite concubine, so this matter is easy to handle.
