Chapter 108: Great work
If you want people to understand the truth all at once, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than that people can benefit.
The gentry has gained profits and now they have to cut their flesh. Even if it hurts, at least they will not turn against you.
What's more, recently, many idle people have begun to appear in Dingxing County. These people who have been raised have a good eye and ear.
Whose family hid something or did not pay taxes, and it was placed on Ouyang Zhi's desk the next day.
Of course, Ouyang Zhi is a county magistrate and an accomplished official. He will definitely not be with these messy people.
For some people who are not good at it, Ouyang Zhi often asks him to come to the county government for a talk. Everyone sits together, drink a cup of tea happily, and then throws the things out and see for yourself. You are too ruthless in evading taxes.
The other party was immediately stunned and said nothing. He paid the tax obediently, and then they all felt at peace.
In order to pursue taxes, many problems arise. Of course, it is not scary to have any problems. Just formulate methods and solve them.
Tax calculation is a very troublesome thing.
Because there is no sloppy at all.
Especially the taxes in Dingxing County are real and are definitely not based on rough means of levying. Therefore, every cent of tax must be calculated clearly and there is no need to make any mistakes in the amount of money.
For this reason, Ouyang Zhi even called several people from Xishan Mathematics Academy.
They began to formulate several formulas and at the same time improved the algorithm for accounts.
Ouyang Zhi has been in a row for many days and has never had a good sleep.
Countless silver began to be stored.
Because of the implementation of the one-whip method, the grain tax and physical tax were directly removed. This physical tax has always been levied like this, but now it is all directly taxed by silver and money, which is much easier and easier.
Late at night.
I couldn't see my five fingers when I reached out.
Ouyang Zhi looked tired and his eyes were red.
He was still flipping through various books repeatedly.
Judging from the yellow book of household households, over the past year, Dingxing County has added more than 78,000 new household registrations, which is an extremely terrible number. Nearly 80,000 households, which is more than 200,000 people.
The new workshops are 137 in size.
The number of merchants increased by more than 900, so there were more than 600 new stores.
Not only that, in order to solve the housing problem, Dingxing County has started construction at several construction sites in Xishan Jianye in the north of the city, and the housing prices are not expensive. Compared with the housing prices in Jingshi New City, it is only 10%, but even 10% of the profit is considerable.
In addition, the agriculture in Dingxing County has actually grown!
This is what Ouyang Zhi is most pleased with...
The reason is that the roads are built, because the new city has a huge demand for grain. In other places, roads are blocked and transportation costs are extremely high. Dingxing County has become the main supply land for the new city. After the grain prices rise, although a large amount of land has become workshops and houses, because of the high prices, many people are also active in growing grain. Anything that can be exchanged for money is not afraid of no one being active.
With the emergence of new crops, many gentry had no motivation to grow grain because of the local price plummeting and therefore had no motivation to grow grain, the grain output in Dingxing County... actually rose all the way.
Even a small wasteland has no planting value in the past, but now it has been opened into a vegetable garden. People use every inch of land to make every effort. And because of the connection with the new city, many methods of increasing grain output in the military farm have been widely promoted and applied here.
You should know that not every place is willing to accept the cultivation method of military farms.
For example, purchasing better grains from military farms can increase the harvest by 10%.
Is this food worthless? Why buy it? And only increase by 10%, why waste this effort?
There is also the fertilization method of fine farming in the military farm, which seems to increase yield, but so what? It's too troublesome.
But in Dingxing County, you are not afraid of trouble. Increased production means that after the excess grain is harvested, you can immediately exchange it for silver. A large number of grain merchants are waiting in line to ask for it. Who will not be able to get along with the silver?
I watched it all night and had a remarkable result.
Ouyang Zhi circled some data, which was doubtful. At that time, the following officers had to verify it again to see if they had calculated it wrong, or if the officers had negligently in the statistics.
At this time, the sky was brighter.
He raised his eyes, welcomed the dawn of the new day, yawned, waited for a clerk. When the clerk saw the county magistrate, he couldn't help but say, "Why is this trouble for the envoy? What's the matter that can't be dealt with in the day?"
Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, knocked on the desk, and refused to comment: "You can clean up later, and tell me to do the designated place later. I will take a two-hour nap."
He always has a calm attitude, which is intimidating.
The clerk smiled bitterly: "Yes."
As he said that, he stepped forward and picked up the official documents scattered on the documents.
He admired this county magistrate very much. He didn't say anything else. He didn't want to hide anything from him. He didn't even think about telling him about big and small things in the county. But once he wanted to use it, he could blurt out immediately, which was even more familiar than an insider.
This made no one in the county dare to perfunctorily treat him.
Although he usually has a stern face, he is still quite generous to his subordinates.
Even if you think that such a person is troublesome, think that he is always in charge of doing things, you are convinced and have no temper towards him.
"I heard that County Chief Liu is talking strange things behind my back again."
County Chief Liu was the assistant of the county. He, the chief clerk and the clerk, were all Ouyang Zhi's deputy.
But when they heard that Ouyang Zhi was going to implement the new method here, they were either dizzy or hot-headed, and refused to do anything, for fear that the county magistrate would drag him down.
Ouyang Zhi simply kicked them away and did everything by himself.
But now, the new policy seems to be effective. Several assistants seemed to want to make a difference in the county, but found that they were idle and Ouyang Zhi did not arrange for their specific dispatch. County Chief Liu and others were a little stunned and suddenly became a foodie in the county.
They are naturally indispensable, so they have to send a few words to the prison.
"Oh." Ouyang Zhi had no expression on this.
"They said that this new policy will definitely fall apart. At that time, everyone will be in trouble with you." The clerk seemed angry.
Ouyang Zhi was silent.
The clerk thought the county magistrate was angry.
Ouyang Zhi said plainly: "Be good at yourself."
“Yes, yes.”
Ouyang Zhi was about to return to the palace, but at this moment, a rapid footstep came from outside: "Enterprise, I have calculated it, I have calculated it."
The person who came was Zhang Wenbing, the official of the Household Office. Zhang Wenbing looked at it: "The Household Office has roughly calculated the taxes for this year. Look."
Ouyang Zhi took the official document and opened it and saw it. He was shocked...
It's actually...that's the number.
Although he is quite confident about the annual income, this number is too terrible.
Ouyang Zhi frowned: "Have you calculated it?"
"I have calculated it several times and I have paid the tax and silver that have been put into the warehouse. I dare not say that it is not a small difference, but at least, I am not far away from it. Now, the warehouse is still re-inventing."
Ouyang Zhi suddenly felt energetic, and his blood-filled eyes seemed to be shining. After a brief silence, "Don't reveal it first, you have to count it again. After counting, this official will report to everyone immediately to report the merits!"
Zhang Wen, the official in the house, smiled. He had always known who had made merit in this county, and he had made the king feel like a mirror. He had been busy for so many days, and this time, the amount of taxes collected was so large that it was completely beyond imagination. If this was a great contribution, he would have one in the credit book.
He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, students will go here, so that you can rest assured, but please feel free to worry."
Ouyang Zhi was stunned. After a long time, he sighed: "It's really not easy, it's not easy..."
