Chapter 617

It was dark, and the light was still on in a study in the backyard of the governor's residence.

After today's day-to-day scenes and entertainment, Yan Liqiang sat in his study and focused on the Dingkou, Tianmu, Treasury silver, Treasury grain, taxes, ordnance and official books left by Wang Jianbei.

That is the family background of Qiyun county. As the supervisor of Qiyun, the first thing Yan Liqiang did when he took office was to know his family background first.

I don't know how long it took. Yan Liqiang stretched himself in his chair and felt thirsty. He took the tea cup next to the table and just took a sip. He found that the tea in the tea cup was completely cold. Hu Haihe had changed him for hot tea several times before. Yan Liqiang forgot to drink it. When he really wanted to drink, there was already the coolness in the night in the tea.

"Ah, my Lord, I'll make you a pot of hot tea..." the sound of Yan Liqiang drinking tea suddenly woke Hu Haihe, who was still guarding at the door of his study. Hu Haihe came and hurriedly wanted to change hot tea for Yan Liqiang.

"No, I'm not so expensive. This herbal tea can quench my thirst!" Yan Liqiang drank all the water in the teacup in one breath, then put down the teacup and waved to Hu Haihe, "by the way, what time is it now?"

"It's past midnight!"

"There's nothing to do tonight. Go to bed and I'll see it for a while!"

"There's no reason why adults don't sleep and subordinates sleep first. Do adults want to have a midnight snack? I'll let the back kitchen do some?"

"It's late. Don't bother others. I'm not hungry!"

Hu Haihe shook his head, then took Yan Liqiang's cup and went to heat Yan Liqiang's tea.

Looking at Hu Haihe's back, Yan Liqiang shook his head and smiled, no longer saying anything.

The cold tea is echoing in his mouth with a little astringent taste. This taste suddenly reminds Yan Liqiang of the days when he worked overtime in the company and made bidding documents all night in his previous life. I remember that it was the same when he took several men to make bidding documents in his previous life. He buried his head under the desk lamp and drank the cold tea one night. He was hungry, Just soak a bag of instant noodles directly. Sometimes there is no water. Several people sprinkle the dry seasoning bag on the instant noodles and eat it directly!

I don't know those friends I knew in my last life know what I look like now and what their expression will be. If I can go back now, it's easy to be an athlete to make money. All kinds of records can be broken if I want to break. It's estimated that I have to get soft hands to win medals. I can be a track and field athlete first, and I can also jump, lift weights, shoot arrows, swim, and then be a boxer, Hahaha... Thinking about what happened in his last life, Yan Liqiang was a little nervous for a while, and then he came back to his mind and continued to look at the classic books and accounts in his hand.

The more you read those books, the more various data of the whole Qiyun county will slowly settle down in Yan Liqiang's mind, so that Yan Liqiang can slowly grasp the overall situation of the whole county.

Qiyun County covers an area of 35000 square kilometers and has a population of 2.47 million. In addition to Pingxi City, it also governs 14 counties and 158 townships (including all kinds of villages and towns). In addition to the sergeants at all levels in the county, there are 1184 officials at all levels, official servants, contractors, book offices and others who eat public meals. Now there are 7 battalions of officers and soldiers in the county, with a total of 21877 people

It has to be said that Wang Jianbei still gives Yan Liqiang face. Generally, when such officials transfer and transfer, there is almost no money and grain left in the county's silver and grain depots. However, in those accounts, Yan Liqiang also saw that Wang Jianbei left more than 170000 liang of silver for himself and 250000 stones of all kinds of grain in the county's official warehouses.

What surprised Yan Liqiang most was that there were plenty of arrows, knives, guns and equipment in the armory under the governor's office, which could arm a large army of 70000 people. This was somewhat beyond Yan Liqiang's expectation. After a careful look at the books and accounts, Yan Liqiang found that the reason why there were so many kinds of weapons in the armory of Qiyun county was due to Wei Wuji, who had been taken down before, Although the plan of the western expedition to Gulang grassland of the Han Empire was terminated and aborted, before the army set out, the imperial court and the transfer yamen allocated a large amount of ordnance and military funds from all over the northwest to supplement the arsenal of Pingxi County as a supplement and reserve for the army. Now the army has withdrawn, but the supplementary ordnance and military funds have been retained, and finally it has been cheaper for itself.

The information and data in front are good. Everything is clear at a glance. When he saw the tax books and accounts in Qiyun County, Yan Liqiang suddenly felt dizzy. The taxes of the Han Empire are diverse and diverse, which makes Yan Liqiang an eye opener. If he thinks that the so-called tax is tax payment, he will imagine the world too simple.

In fact, in the official books, tax and tax are completely separated, which is not the same thing at all. In fact, there is only one kind of tax in this world, that is, Ding Kou tax, that is, poll tax; Qiyun county is a border county. Among the border counties, Fu refers to the materials of the people in the county that can be expropriated for military activities and military purposes; The property tax paid by the family is called adjustment; Grain collected on the basis of land acre is called rent; Those collected by military service and labor force are called military service; Other temporary financial expenditures such as building bridges and roads are called donations, and other special business industries, such as salt, iron, fishing and Ze, are called classes; Set up a levy at an important level called li

In my previous life, paying taxes was just paying money, but in this world, I pay taxes from everything, money, grain, labor, materials, all kinds of things, which makes people stunned... Because the blacksmith shop has always been presided over by Yan Dechang and Zhou Tiezhu. Yan Liqiang usually doesn't ask much about the operation of the blacksmith shop until he reads the account books in this county, Only then did he find out how much tax he and his father Yan Dechang had to pay - since Yan Liqiang was seven years old, he had to pay Ding Kou tax. His family ran a blacksmith workshop and iron classes, and his father paid for the corvee to eliminate the disaster and asked people to take it out. He also had to pay the land rent for the fields in his family... These are not to mention. The most fucked thing is that in the Han Empire, Han people have to pay poll tax and all kinds of taxes, while foreigners such as the seven departments of Shatu don't have to pay any taxes. They don't pay poll tax, land rent, corvee, even Guan Li. Before, it was difficult to collect taxes because of the existence of the Huaien order... Yan Liqiang implicitly felt that the taxes of the Han Empire were a big problem and there were too many kinds, But there are so many things in front of him. Facing the mess in front of him, he just wants to change. For the time being, he doesn't know where to start. From those account books, even if there are a lot of taxes, the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the whole Qiyun county is just a little surplus - the fiscal surplus of the whole Qiyun County in the 15th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, It's less than 80000 taels of silver, and most of the 80000 taels of silver have to be turned over... Qiyun county is like this. It's estimated that other counties are not much better. Although the stall is large and often belongs to one state and one county, it really doesn't have much money when it comes to money. No wonder his eyes shine when he mentions Qian Leisi. He is really afraid of poverty. After reading those classic books and accounts, it has been four more days. After closing the last book, Yan Liqiang suddenly felt what he lacked most - talent!
