Chapter 957 The origin of sexagesimal
Yuwen Jietao said constantly, I nodded with satisfaction. Weinan is considered a poor place, and its annual tax income has never reached 20,000 guan. Of course, there are several reasons. The first is that Weinan County has expanded its territory now, and its population and land are several times that of the past. Second, after I arrived here, I vigorously advocated commercial activities. Another point is that it does not tax based on the population, but collects agricultural tax based on the number of land acres. Although the starting point of the agricultural tax collection has been slightly reduced, it still exceeds the agricultural tax income in previous years. The main reason is that the land of those landlords has been cleaned up again, so that they no longer have to pay taxes based on the population as before, but need to pay many times more tax than before.
In addition, in more than half a year, Weinan used several emerging industries to build coal mines to make Weinan's commercial tax rapid progress. Therefore, it also caused no storm when the people of Weinan County paid taxes, which could be said to be quite smooth.
"This is really beyond the expectations of the officials. I just don't know if the income from the autumn tax can be equal to the spring tax. If it can reach this amount, haha, it can be worth the tax income of a Shangzhou in the Tang Dynasty." Cui Ren said with joy. Everyone here is full of joy? Even Li Qianyou, who is interested in the face, rarely squeezed out a smile: "Yes, the small Weinan implements the two-tax method, and does not need to kill chickens and get eggs. Just one spring tax can earn 69,000 guan. Moreover, the people all recite it, and no one complains. This is really eye-catching."
I smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not my ability. But you have worked hard. Over the past six months, I have found out the number of land in Weinan. Otherwise, the spring tax would have to be withdrawn and collected. I believe you should know that Weinan was originally a fertile land in Guanzhong. The number of land is no less than that of other provinces. Why did the income in previous years be so small?"
I glanced at the people present and continued to say, "First, the government does not do anything. Second, the officials and gentry do not pay taxes. If these two items are used, they will at least lose more than 10,000 yuan of income every year. Not to mention that the commercial tax is not fixed, and the favor tax is mostly. After the officials collect it according to twenty taxes or ten taxes, they report it according to thirty taxes, and the others are filled with their own pockets. The twists and turns make those officials only profit and have no regard for the benefits of the country and the people, which is really hateful."
------------------------------------------------
To summarize the results, it is very good. However, last year, the roads in Weinan County were repaired, and a brand new sewer was built. In addition, a specialized agricultural products and commercial trade market was opened in the eastern part of the county. Originally, I wanted to set up a pedestrian street in Weinan to pretend to make political achievements. But seeing such a small county town, the population is so popular, I am afraid that I can't even have a ghost, and I won't have to experience the loss of land, so I'm too lazy to do it.
The road construction must still be accelerated. Our Fang family's engineering team is still active in the villages and villages of Weinan County, and there are still roads. We strive to build the main road of Weinan County into cement straight roads by the end of this year. With the development of transportation, all kinds of vegetables in the hands of the people of Weinan County can be delivered to Chang'an and sold in a timely manner. This is a long-term policy and must be implemented as soon as possible.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the palace maid yawning boredly on the recliner in the patio. "Oh, I said Sister Zhaoer, why are you so leisurely today?" I laughed at the palace maid. Seeing that it was me, the palace maid quickly sat up and stretched lazily. The devil's figure raised the whole body so tempting. Seeing this young master's pair of shiny eagles, he glanced at me charmingly: "I'm not just letting the fifth sister make trouble."
"What's wrong? What's the matter with our big scientists?" I sat down next to the palace maid's sister, reached out to wrap her slender waist, well, the authentic Tang Dynasty's hornet waist champion is the only one in our palace maid's sister.
The palace maid sister rarely showed a coquettish expression: "Yes, our fifth sister got up this morning and went into the house. She was stumbled inside all day long. I couldn't understand what she was going to do. The children were not around, so I was bored and could only bask in the sun here."
"Is that right? Haha, okay, I'm fine, don't complain. Liushuang is the kind of temperament. When doing things, she just needs to push the corner against the crack of the wall. No one can hold it back. Let her do it, so she can avoid asking me questions all day long. Last night, I almost didn't sleep all night!" I rubbed my forehead with a headache.
The palace maid laughed: "Why, who told you to mess with the grass? No wonder others." Her gentle fingers put on my temple and gently pressed them.
I closed my eyes and retorted, "Can you blame me for being a husband? If I were really a playboy who was flirting with flowers, I would have let you sisters sweep the floor with sticks, and could my good photos give me such a considerate and conscious massage?"
The palace maid's sister tapped the tip of my nose with her finger: "Hmph, you can say this, I can't compare to my mother-in-law..." When she said this, the palace maid couldn't help laughing. Well, the old man was afraid of his wife's deeds, which is known to everyone in the world. Even Uncle Li once used one sentence to evaluate my mother: "I'm still afraid of seeing you, let alone Yu Xuanling?" It means that this lady Fang can't afford to provoke me, the emperor, let alone Yu my old man.
Well, however, I never felt embarrassed, but I felt very happy. I was so proud of having such a mother. Occasionally, the women also liked to use my mother's great achievements to talk about it. These beautiful girls seem to regard my mother as their idols.
"Hehe, it's good to know. In the world, I'm afraid that only Aunt Wei can compete with my mother. Well, let's go and see what she's doing today." I stood up and led the palace maid and sister to the side room, and then arrived at the door. I was really shocked.
"What is this?" I stood outside the house. Could it be that my eyes were not good? Or maybe a time traveler came to me to scare me to play with it, and hung such a thing at my home in Weinan. His fat, short and thick body was hung with a balance hanging on it, which was specially used to weigh weights.
"Junra, you are back. Come in quickly. I have some questions to ask you." Liushuang changed into the Taoist robe she usually wore when doing scientific research. Hearing my voice outside the door, he poked his head out of it and waved to me. "Did you make this thing?" I swallowed for a long time before asking this sentence, Well, it's too ugly, but in order not to damn Liushuang's enthusiasm for making watches, I decided not to evaluate this thing that I don't know what it is.
------------------------------------------------
"What's wrong? Have you encountered a difficult problem again?" I took off the soft-footed head on my head, threw it aside, took the tea handed over by my sister in the palace and drank it all. Sure enough, the sister in the palace maid looked at Liu Shuang and gave me a helpless smile. Well, anyone who married such a fanatical scientific researcher would feel a headache, but I am also extremely proud of her hard work and research spirit.
On the short couch, several large and small hourglass and water leaks were placed. In addition, there were a lot of pieces on the side. Liushuang quickly told me the problem she found. "Now, according to your suggestion, I have changed the rope to a length of twenty-one centimeters, but why do you ask a time unit to swing sixty times instead of fifty times or one hundred times?"
This... I can't laugh and cry. Who asked me to ask my school to do experimental classes in the future? Besides, the Tang Empire didn't need to learn from foreigners. However, these sixty seconds of one-minute timing is indeed the most accurate timing method obtained by fundamental science. I am at least in the later generations, so I can't go backwards, right? How can I use our traditional Chinese things to force him into it? First, it seems that I am stronger than other time travelers. Second, scientists over a thousand years later have marveled at how great the wisdom of the Chinese nation is. Well, we have to think about it carefully.
Liu Shuang, who was waiting next to me for a long time, saw me still sitting in place and looking at the freakish wall clock hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but want to reach out to pat me. Fortunately, the palace maid sister saw the opportunity quickly, took her hand in time, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, don't worry, my husband is thinking about things, my husband will definitely say something later."
Well, after thinking for a while, I finally came to the conclusion. Well, I am indeed Master Jizhi. I cleared my throat and turned around, and proudly showed two rows of white teeth at the two beautiful ladies: "I guess both sisters know the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, right?"
