Zhao Gou, who had gone through the late Ming Dynasty, clearly remembered a measure Zhu Yuanzhang once issued: Instructions for officials to take office.

This is a very necessary measure to tell those successful Jinshi in the imperial examination that one person needs to know what to do for his parents. Because Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in the lower class, was very worried about whether the new Jinshi in the current academic qualifications could distinguish between grains and livestock.

After all, are you a scholar? Very few of you can put what you have learned into practice.

Zhao Gou is now in training classes, and some of the textbooks in it draw on Zhu Yuanzhang's "Instructions for Officials to Take Recruitment", including seven major items: worshiping gods, prison lawsuits, elders, education, control of officials, money and grain, and social control. At present, these newly released officials will not be confused as long as they understand these things.

As for whether you can be a high position as a township chief in the future, or whether you will remain unmoved all year round like Jia Zheng and Jia Er, it depends on your own practice.

Zhao Gou did not treat these people badly. He became a ninth-rank official as soon as he became an official. This was a serious official. Those who were serious Jinshi were officials and became county magistrates, and there were many people in charge. For example, Liu Wei, after he passed the Jinshi, he was Fengcheng County magistrate, and he was a ninth-rank official. But later he became a pillar of the court, which was personal practice, and it was not all learned from books.

You have to work hard to learn to be an official in the officialdom and make your own progress in the career.

If you only want to get something for nothing, or are unwilling to devote yourself to it, you will never make a fortune in your life.

The content of this textbook was soon circulated. Not to mention the curious students in Beijing and the alternate officials who have not yet obtained official positions, even the people and the gentry in the city were all curious.

They can understand why.

After all, being a good academic and being a good official is completely different. You are just full of knowledge but helpless in common affairs. No matter whether it is this dynasty or history, there are many records.

However, this "Instructions for Officials to Accept Appointment" is completely different from the courses in the county magistrate's training class.

The latter has been in the officialdom for many years, and they are all "good herds" selected by Zhao Gou from a magistrate. His reputation is pretty good, but he is not comparable to those rookies.

"What, 100,000 yuan a year?" Sun Zhang, the magistrate of Huairen, was shocked.

This is more than six times the annual cost of Huairen County today. How harsh is this.

Sun Zhang estimated the consumption of Renhuai County from the moment he understood the mission. Their place is close to Qilu, and is the northernmost end of Haizhou (Lianyungang). The mountainous areas, plains and coastal areas in the territory account for one-third. They have beautiful mountains and rivers, fertile land and rich resources. They are praised for their fish and rice hometowns that "enjoy the fertility of mountains and rivers and enjoy the benefits of fishing and seas". They are counties with a large population and a small land.

The annual expenditure of 15,000 yuan is the salary of officials and constables. The remaining 50% is the expense of official business, including meal expenses, tea, etc., as well as rewards during festivals, and even the needs to deal with official business. The remaining 30% is the expense of repairing roads, unblocking rivers, helping the poor, and comforting the orphans. There are also expenses of Sales Bureau (orphanage), nursing homes (nutritional homes), Hui people's bureau (affordable pharmacy and outpatient department), Anjifang (welfthy hospital), Luze Garden (welfthy cemetery), etc.

There are already some disabled people, and there are more than 100,000 people in Renhuai County. Although they are known as the hometown of fish and rice, their lives are actually not beautiful.

Now a county consumes as much as 100,000 yuan, and Sun Zhang instantly had the idea of ​​giving up.

"Ha." Zong Ze looked at the angry Sun Zhang, without showing relief on his face, but was a little disappointed. This very famous magistrate didn't seem to be as good as he thought.

"What is the teaching of the Prime Minister?"

Sun Zhang instantly understood the expression on Zong Ze's face, and the anger in his heart seemed to be even more than three points, and he asked dissatisfiedly with his neck.

Zong Ze did not speak, but took out a piece of paper. It was the amount of Huairen County tax that Sun Zhang had filled out before, from summer and autumn fields to deeds, capita tax, tooth tax, city tax, fish tax, wine tax, etc., all of which were listed, and the amount of miscellaneous tax payments was not the amount of one year, but the amount of his three years in office. It can be seen that this person is still very responsible.

But this is all superficial!

"This is all taxes and fees that the government has collected in public. How much money and grain are actually paid in a year? Do you know?"

Huairen County has a tax of about 12,000 yuan per year. The main ones are summer tax, head tax and wine tax, as well as silk, silk, cloth, silk, cotton, and more than 40,000 stones of autumn grain (the summer tax of the Song Dynasty mainly involves discounting money and collecting cloth silk). The entire Huairen County has more than 400,000 mu of land in the Jiangbei area, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

According to statistics, Huairen County's annual taxes are only about 80,000 guan. This is all thanks to the rise in grain prices. Although Wang Anshi changed only 600 guan. However, during the Xuanhe period, the price of grain was higher than one stone and three guan to four guan. After the Xuanhe riot in the north and the Fang La uprising in Jiangnan were quelled, the court continued to use troops to Yan, so that Hebei was worried about the ills, and Jiangnan, which had just recovered, had a heavy tax. Then the Jin people went south, that is, after Zhao Gou drove away the Jin soldiers, the world was more stable. The price of grain also fell, and the current price had been cut in half compared to before, but the price of more than 40,000 guan was still as high as 60,000 guan.

Eighty percent of these money, grain and material must be transferred to the central government, and the remaining 20% ​​can be obtained by the county government and the remaining ones are from the state government government and the road.

Huairen County can be worth about 10,000 guan a year, and also pay 6,000 guan miscellaneous taxes.

Sun Zhang really loves the people very much, and he only pays about 6,000 guan a year, which is definitely a low level among the prefectures and county magistrates of the Song Dynasty.

And he was also angry at the 100,000 Guan because he still loved the people in his heart.

According to the new law of the court, the local government and the central government divide the 55% of the county government and the superiors, even if Huairen County is not a single penny, it will only earn 40,000 yuan per year. The gap is too big, and the miscellaneous taxes will have to increase by ten times. Sun Zhang felt that he could not do such a tyrannical thing.

But after hearing Zong Ze's inquiry, he suddenly stopped the car. Of course, he knew that the actual burden of the people was very different from the government's regular tax collection, and the extra burden was even higher than the regular tax.

Even he, a businessman, a clerk, and a people, had one or two thousand guan of money in a year. This was something he didn't have to take the initiative to do. Except for dealing with his own responsibilities, he was filial to Shangguan and the government office, and after a year's food and drink, he lost 1,800 guan. In the Song Dynasty, he was a little bit white...

"This, this..."

"Officials take one, and the people accept two, which is already a good place in the world. But if these two belong to the government, can a new law be developed?"

Zong Ze looked confident when he spoke, but in fact he had no idea. But facing grassroots officials like Li Zhang, as the prime minister and the chief minister of the cabinet, he had to do this.

Li Zhang is not a fool either. Of course he knows whether "these two are all in the government" can develop a new method. Because this 'two' is just a rough idea, the real situation will be two-five and three.

Besides, he knew better that Huairen County had not yet made land clearance. Wang Anshi had not completed the world's land clearance, but who dared to stop it when he was in the hands of the King of Yan? Even the Han family could not stop it. Who would think that he was more face than the Han family?

How much land is there in Huairen County?

Although Li Zhang had been a county magistrate for three years, he still had no idea. But he felt that even if he was less than 700,000 mu, it would not be less than 600,000 mu.
