The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

King Qin Yingzheng is the youngest king among the Seven Kingdoms. Since the day he ascended the throne, the Six Kingdoms have resorted to various methods to investigate and investigate the Qin Kingdom, trying to find out the details of the new Qin King.After discovering that the old king of Qin, Ying Yiren, managed the government affairs smoothly for him when he passed on the throne, and his own administration was extremely sophisticated and there was no opportunity for him to take advantage of it, these people began to circle around Lu Buwei of Qin State, intending to provoke Qin State. The king was at odds.

Lu Buwei... Lu Buwei just doesn't bother to talk to them.

All those who come to visit are invited to go out, and those who want to recommend themselves leave a post to write what they think is the best policy theory. If he thinks the literary talent is good, he will invite another person.

Can't wait?If you can't wait, then go to Qin Guoxue Palace to take the exam.

Once in March, five people will be recruited at a time, and those who are successful can have an interview with the King of Qin.

send money...?hehe.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and smiled: "Young man, do you know how much money this old man has?"

Nowadays, there are only a few of the most famous wealthy merchant families in the world. Of course, the Lu family is not in this ranks, because the Lu family has completely broken away from the status of merchants, and what they receive is the tax from the fiefdom.

As long as there are no natural disasters, taxation can be said to be quite stable. Lu Buwei's fief is still Luoyang, a rich place where droughts and floods are guaranteed. The fief given to his mentor by a stranger is generous enough-one hundred thousand households.

This amount can be said to be unprecedented, and it is impossible to have the generosity of comers in the future.When he took over Luoyang, the number of people in Luoyang who had just experienced a large loss of population due to the war had not yet reached [-], let alone [-] households.It can be said that the Yiren back then gave the entire Luoyang to Lu Buwei with a wave of his hand.

Although Luoyang does not have the right to govern, the owner of the fiefdom has the right to adjust the local tax rate. After Lu Buwei took over Luoyang, to everyone's surprise, he lowered Luoyang's city entry tax and land tax.

Luoyang was originally the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it can also be regarded as the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. The reason why the Zhou royal family made Luoyang the capital is because of its water and land transportation, it is an extremely important transportation hub along the Yellow River.

As soon as Lu Buwei's tax rate was lowered, Luoyang naturally attracted many merchants to settle in.

After Qin's products were gradually welcomed by the six eastern countries, Luoyang became an important window for Qin.Lu Buwei's previously incomprehensible tax reduction behavior has attracted a large number of people and labor force to Luoyang. Taking advantage of the rising tide of the Qin State, after more than ten years of operation, the resident population of Luoyang has exceeded [-] households. , and has a tendency to continue to grow.

Although according to the regulations of the Qin State, if the population exceeds the original number of the fiefdom, the excess part must be handed over to the central government, and the owner of the fiefdom can only take the part under his own name, but even if the tax paid by one household is only one penny , Lu Buwei's monthly income is [-].

The land tax and population tax that the Qin State gave to the heroes were land tax and population tax. The more people there were, the more the population tax would be. At the same time, more people would inevitably increase the area of ​​cultivated land, so the land tax would naturally increase.

Since the municipal construction of the feudal city is invested by the central government of Qin, the owners of the fiefdom do not need to pay a penny.So after operating Luoyang, for Lu Buwei, money became a simple number.

To put it bluntly, it is too easy for him to make money now, but he has lost the fun of it.

Moreover, his son is upbeat, his house is peaceful, and he is the second in command of the Qin State. Although it is hard to say what the future will be, it seems that Qin Wangzheng and him can still maintain the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.If you want money, you need power, you need power, and you don't want to live a happy life. Why should he disrupt the current life for a few dollars?

Just like now, it is not very good to play Reversi with "daughter-in-law" admiring flowers.

Lu Buwei took a sip of the tea his "daughter-in-law" made for him, silently turned over a sunspot, and then turned over a bunch of them. Finally, he tasted the situation on the chessboard. .

Just at this moment, his "daughter-in-law" raised her hand, she was obviously a general, but she touched a chess piece with her fingertips as white as jade, and just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps Voice.

Lu Buwei, who was frowning and staring at the chessboard with a stiff face, immediately turned his head and looked over, then stood up with a look of surprise: "An'er, why are you back?" Step to meet the son who said he would work overtime.

Wei Liao, who was thrown off by his opponent, slowly retracted his hand. He looked at the lit piece on the chessboard and blinked. As long as he turned it over, he would win the game, but...

He stood up slowly, leaving the leftovers of the chessboard here, and followed him out.

Only a fool would fight against the old man.

Not knowing that he had saved his old father's face, Lu An stepped on clogs and walked quickly on the floor, and said hurriedly as he walked, "Father, in a few days I will go to the academy to teach arithmetic, and then recruit a group of people who are good at mathematics." man of."

Lu Buwei frowned, and asked a bunch of questions as he followed his son: "What do you count on teaching? Isn't the academy already teaching? Also, why do you need to recruit people? You don't have enough people there?"

"It's not enough. The statistics and the calculated data don't match up. The error is a bit big, so we have to recalculate." Lu An glanced past his father, exchanged glances with his senior brother, couldn't help but smiled at him, and then looked at the old man. After his father let out a dry cough, he quickly looked away, and said solemnly, "I think the pressure of calculation is a bit high here, Lu Xiangbang, I want to protest."

Lu Buwei looked at him with a half-smile, and replied seriously: "Lv Neishi, the workload of each department is average, but the workload of your subordinates has increased frequently in recent years... I think you have to find the reason from yourself. "

Lu An looked at his father sadly, and couldn't help humming a couple of times.

Yes, the increased workload of governing millet internal history can indeed be regarded as self-inflicted.

Different from the other six countries, the rule of Qin State is to reduce the middle class, and the central government directly governs the local areas. To put it bluntly, there are no middlemen (vassals) to earn the difference, and the taxes of the common people are sent directly to the central government.

The land property tax of Qin State is set according to the land and population, and the population and the number of land can be easily calculated. Therefore, in the past few decades, the taxes that Qin State can collect every year can be budgeted, and the budget can be naturally It is also convenient to check.

This kind of policy is very convenient for the officials, because if they have a budget, they can decide the policies of Qin State in the new year.However, the flexibility is too low, and rigid policies are not conducive to improving the work enthusiasm of ordinary people.

Therefore, after Lu An accepted the post of governing Su Nei Shi, he adjusted the land tax.

Qin State has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in its own land and many lands that have been beaten down in recent years to carry out land rectification and water conservancy construction. During the renovation process, it will inevitably have an impact on local agriculture. This impact is not It is completely positive, but after the completion of the water conservancy project, the impact on the local area is basically positive.

Therefore, when calculating tax revenue, in order to compensate for this part of the surplus and deficiency, and also to give impetus to the expansion of water conservancy, the Qin State introduced a new policy, that is, the land that has increased the output per unit area due to the improvement of water conservancy and farmland projects will be paid at a rate of three years. It is a transitional period, within three years, the tax will be collected according to the tax before the income, and the land grade will be re-evaluated after three years, and then adjusted.

In addition to this aspect, due to the comprehensive popularization of iron farm tools and livestock farming in Qin State, and the official promotion of farm manure production and improvement of planting environment, etc., the obvious effect on the increase in land cultivation yield.In the past few years, most of Qin's farmland has stopped degrading, and some land has gradually improved positively.

Therefore, the State of Qin issued another encouraging policy for this situation——

If the output and land grade are increased due to hard work and improved management, the tax amount will not be increased within five years, and the civil title will be awarded one level.Correspondingly, if the output per unit area is reduced due to lack of cultivation, the tax amount will not be reduced, and if the land is degraded, it will be punished according to the situation.

It is true that these policies have actually provided benefits to the people, and it is true that the enthusiasm of the people has been greatly improved, but at the same time they have also increased the burden on financial institutions.

The readjustment of the tax rate, the assessment and measurement of the land, and even the update of the information after the time limit is up are all workloads.In recent years, the financial institution of Qin State where Lu An works has to manage the transportation of military grain and grass, calculate the amount of private grain taxes, and also deal with King Qin's sudden fortune. It has become the department with the largest demand for grassroots officials in Qin State. And the department I don't want to be transferred to.

Ji Awanaishi himself is too busy to get married! !Can this department still enter?This is the rhythm of being a bachelor for a lifetime!

Lu is not married but has a daughter-in-law. An is not ignorant of outside rumors, but he always scoffs at them.As the busiest and most profitable department, although the salaries of their employees here are the same as everyone else's, they can get extra bonuses every quarter.Although there are a lot of overtime hours every month, every employee has a thick wife book!

The wives of senior employees have accumulated so much that even King Qin would pay attention!

Poor King Qin no longer has a wife, he only has private money now.

In the second year after assuming the throne, Qin State held a grand concubine selection ceremony. Those who participated in the concubine selection included the daughters of Qin's ministers and private Xiaojia Biyu.Of course, there are still certain requirements for people's appearance and talent.This move caused a sensation among the Seven Kingdoms.

There is an unwritten rule in this era, that is, blood nobles can marry everyone as concubines, but only blood nobles can marry blood nobles as wives.

There is an insurmountable gap between the nobles and the common people. Even if the king marries a courtier who is at the peak of power as his wife, as long as she has no noble blood, she will be ridiculed.

The daughter of a declining nobleman is more noble than the daughter of the most prominent courtier, just because of her bloodline.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the mother is more expensive than the child.

In the case of the death of the wife of the main wife, the king can straighten the concubine's room with sons.But the status of Fuzheng's concubine will always be lower than that of the original wife. Even if she is finally buried in the royal tomb, the step-wife will be buried as a concubine.

The main reason why Zhao Ji, the wife of the Yiren King of Qin, was not opposed by the courtiers was because Zhao Ji gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor.In the case that the status of the princess is not bad, everyone can recognize her by pinching their noses.

When Qin Wangzheng was still the crown prince, there were news exchanges between the six countries expressly implying that their own princesses had reached the age of marriage and wanted to use the relationship of Qin crown prince to make a large investment, but they were all declined.

The reason why Yiren declined at the time was that he hoped that his son could find a suitable person, and there were a lot of complaints from the Six Kingdoms at that time.When the king of Qin publicly chose his concubine this time, the six kingdoms were full of discussions. They first scolded the king of Qin for being depraved and defeated the blood of their ancestors. On the other hand, they secretly poked envy in their hearts. He's pretty good at playing, this kind of attitude that I just look at my face is really enviable.

But in fact they all misunderstood King Qin!他还真不是看脸选的媳妇，他是早就看中了人家姑娘，找个光明正大的还不会被大舅子揍的理由把人娶回来而已。

=w=

That's right, he's looking at the girl from the Meng family, Meng Tian and Meng Yi's younger sister.

The brothers of the Meng family are outstanding in appearance, and the younger sister Meng is naturally not bad in appearance.

Although the Queen of Qin was not born in aristocrats, she is beautiful and dignified. She can please her mother-in-law in the first place, support the affairs of the harem in the lower part, and spend time every year with the King of Qin on horseback hunting. She can be called one of the good queens of the Qin Kingdom. model.

That's right, Miss Meng was born with supernatural powers and was extremely intelligent. She liked to wield knives and guns at a young age, was able to ride horses and shoot arrows, and Wen Neng to fight with all heroes. But the reason why Zhao Zheng noticed her was that this girl almost became a child when she was young. For the little follower who was kidnapped by his elder brother with a lollipop, the lollipop was pulled out of Zhao Zheng's pocket.

Anyway, King Qin, who finally got his wish, spent all his wife's books, and finally brought his daughter-in-law back to Xianyang Palace under the angry eyes of his uncle and uncle, but the result of his wife and mother standing on the same line was that he could only pick her Picking swish started the road to save private money again.

Cough, don't mention the past, anyway, as the most profitable government department in the Great Qin Kingdom, Lu An is not worried about recruitment issues at all, he is worried about quality issues.

Mathematics is not a compulsory subject in this era. Among the various theories, only Confucianism classifies it as a compulsory subject. However, the main purpose of Confucian students learning it is to activate their thinking, not really want to devote themselves to economics and management.

However, the work of governing Sube cannot lack statistics, and now with the advancement of Qin's army, the expansion of land, and the increase in farmland output, the workload of statistics has become larger and the calculations have become more and more complicated.

Lu An ran to the warehouse and searched for a long time, and finally found the thing he stuffed in many years ago - the abacus.

The author has something to say:

Xia Miao, a man who can't think of anything unless you push him to the limit.

Xia Miao: Father and daughter-in-law are on vacation and I work overtime, I am so pitiful! !

How can the abacus be forgotten! !When the author Jun was a child, he took abacus calculation as a compulsory course!I don't know if you still learn or not.

Chunqiu uses counting chips. In fact, the calculation principle is similar to that of an abacus, so why was it useless in the previous few worlds? . ?

Xia Miao: Of course it’s because I didn’t need to count before (with confidence)
