Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Two Great Tour of the River
"For example, after turning the tax into a tax, the water route goes directly to the New South Gate, where the tax is paid, while the land route... pays it once in Huayang, and then pays it again when entering the city.
"And here... Last year, when spring was cold, these states and counties issued subsidies. It stands to reason that autumn taxes should also be reduced or reduced as appropriate. However, only a few states and counties implemented it. Most states and counties... still paid the original amount...
"
"And here... Tendon glue is not a specialty of central Sichuan. It was a subject temporarily recruited during the war, and it has not been canceled since then. It has been more than 20 years..."
"And here... In those days when the imperial court was discussing, people had to pay salt and tea, and the government would distribute salt and tea. However, after the tax was changed, the government no longer distributed salt and tea, and the people had to buy it themselves. But this salt
I still keep paying for tea..."
"And here..."
Zhang Fangping raised his hand to interrupt: "Just tell me how much is the total?"
Old Guan Gou cupped his hands and said: "Total... 400,000 yuan."
"So many?!" Zhang Fangping put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect to be involved in such a mess... Now I'm in trouble..."
Su You cupped his hands and said, "Ming Gong, this is a good thing."
Zhang Fangping felt puzzled: "To put it lightly, this is the dereliction of duty of the Transportation Department. It is my fault. How can it be a good thing?"
Su You cupped his hands and said: "Some of these horizontal taxes have been collected for a long time, and the farthest ones can be traced back to twenty years ago. This is certainly the dereliction of duty of the Transportation Department, but it cannot be said to be the fault of Ming Gong."
"The reason why this mistake cannot be avoided is because the old accounting method was too cumbersome, and the transfer department had limited manpower and weak supervision. Now that the new method is used, it is immediately clear."
"So the exposure of these 400,000 yuan was the result of Ming Gong's new accounting law, so this is a good thing."
"Ming Gong only needs to report to the imperial court, please forgive me the 400,000 yuan in gifts for the four groups, and present the new law together. This mistake will become a reward."
Su Xun was also sitting, and Zhang Fangping and him looked at each other.
Both of them are gentlemen. After the accident, the first thing they thought about was how to bear the impact. For a while, they were stunned and did not think about this incident.
Zhang Fangping smiled bitterly: "I have been in the officialdom for decades, but today I was taught how to be an official by my brother... I had this method for a long time, how could I be implicated by a mediocre official and stay away from the court..."
Su Xun also turned from worry to joy: "This matter cannot be delayed. I will report it to the court immediately and see how the central government decides. We, the people of Shu, bear the burden. If we can clear it up a moment earlier, it will be a moment better."

"The Biography of Zhang Fangping in the History of the Song Dynasty": "Fang Xi despised the use of troops, and dispatched many troops from Shu and Shu. Fang Ping was exempted from paying a tribute of 400,000 yuan for the memorial. He also suggested good strategies. The emperor praised him for his good deeds, and he acted as he said."
…
On the eighth day of April, we went on a big trip to the river.
Early in the morning, the transportation department, the state government, the gentry, and all kinds of large and small bedclothes blocked the streets and alleys.
Seeing this situation, Su You suddenly remembered the legend about the construction of Chengdu City.
When Zhang Yi led his army to the Jinjiang River, he saw a big turtle swimming with a group of small turtles. He thought it was a good omen, so he set up camp and built a town in one year and a capital in three years.
A big turtle leading a little turtle, compared with the current situation, it really looks like...
Lao Zhang also wanted to invite Su You to experience having sex, but Su You shook his head and hid far away, so I just rode on the donkey!
Singing and laughing, it was like a float parade in later generations, with crowds of people surrounding it, walking all the way to the river.
Su You was riding on the donkey, and the reins were hung behind Shi Wei's saddle. There was no need to control the donkey, and the donkey was walking forward of its own accord.
Su You even felt that the donkey's power did not come from its limbs, but from the push generated by the crowd behind its butt...
Too crowded...
The riverside is densely packed with people. Today, there are at least 100,000 people on the pier here.
Today is not only Dayoujiang, but also Jinshi.
The river is densely packed with flower boats and boats, competing for their beauty.
True to his word, Zhang Fangping invited Sansu, famous gentry in Chengdu, and important officials to join him... on the boat of the Transport Department.
The state capital's painted boat was left to the children.
Of course the gentlemen were very happy, but they did not expect that the reception level would be improved this year.
The painting boat moved the oars and moved forward slowly along the Huanhua River on the clear wave willow bank.
Coming out of the west of the city and going down the Huanhua River, silk music was played in the boat. Zhang Fangping raised his glass: "Last year, the population of Meizhou increased greatly, and the taxation jumped to the top ten in the country; the four roads were in debt, and there was a big problem.
The number of households has decreased; the refugees have fled and become more and more stable; the new fields opened in the mausoleum can support thousands of families; this year, the transportation department implemented a new law and cleared out the 400,000 yuan in horizontal taxes. The officials are benevolent and have agreed to exempt them."
"Nowadays, there are many happy events on the four roads. This is all due to the efforts of all the officials, Jiangqing and gentry. I am very happy. I would like to take this river cruise festival to thank you for your efforts. Come and drink this cup together."
