"Xiao Yi, how are you in Zhuangzi recently?" Bi Gou arrived at Lijiazhuangzi at noon.

Li Yi ate hot pot and double pot accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs.

As soon as Bi Gou arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs stood up.

They took away the big double pot that they ate with Li Yi and brought it to a small pot.

"Old Bi, do you have dinner in the morning?" Li Yi looked at Bi Gou and asked.

"Eat." Bi Gou sat down.

"What do you eat in the morning?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Buns, millet porridge, shrimp and side dishes on your farm." Bi Gou answered truthfully.

"Did you drink water in the morning? Have you drunk too much? Have you drunk tea?" Li Yi still had a question.

"I drank it, not much." Bi Gou recalled.

"Don't eat first, I'll check your liver function tonight." Li Yi smiled.

Bigou sniffs, the bone soup and spicy taste of chicken soup in the double pot are so fragrant.

"Old Bi, go to the study to read the book." Li Yi couldn't bear it. Everyone was eating a double pot and reading it alone.

"No, no need." Bi Gou gritted his teeth and did not eat or drink from now on.

So the small pot was removed and Li Yi sat next to the big pot again.

"Xiao Yi, how much tax did the Ministry of Revenue collect in just one month?" Bi Gou couldn't eat it, so he chatted with Li Yi.

"It should be more than two months since the Ministry of Revenue's finance department last year." Li Yi guessed.

"Hey? Yes, it's more than two months, one million. The Tang Dynasty began to collect taxes, and a month's income is not as good as the previous years."

Bi Gou became excited when he talked about money.

"Starting next year, greenhouse vegetables cannot be taxed for one ten times. The people of Jingzhao Prefecture will leave land to plant greenhouses specifically.

Greenhouse vegetables can't be sold at high prices, so don't think about cucumbers worth hundreds of dollars a piece.

Excluding the cost of greenhouses, the profits that people make... are still quite considerable."

Li Yi wanted to say less, but changed his words, so it was impossible to lose less.

Bi Gou sniffed again: "The people are rich and buy more things, and they sell more things from outside. I will collect taxes. Why do you think the whole Tang Dynasty collects taxes together?"

"The Ministry of Revenue personnel have learned it well and will be sent to the state governments this year to teach, and the details of local tax collection will be improved, so that they can only try it in the next year."

Li Yi was not anxious about collecting taxes across the country. As long as Jingzhao Prefecture started collecting, the money would be enough to support the current fiscal expenditure of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of collecting taxes in Jingzhao Prefecture to support the national finance, Li Yi and Bigou raised expenditure issues.

"Jingzhao Prefecture collects taxes, and foreign merchants take receipts, and the court should give them the benefits they should give.

The people of Jingzhao Prefecture take on consumption to provide taxes, and the Ministry of Revenue needs to allocate money.

It is mainly about road construction, and the main road leading to Chang'an in the twenty counties is not bad..."

Li Yi asked Bi Gou to spend money and tell him fairness.

He said that the main road needs to be repaired again, which is not suitable for cement roads and is too expensive.

In addition to county towns, villages are distributed in each county, and the road from village to county town must be built to achieve access to every village.

A part of the funds must be allocated to subsidize low-income families to repair and build new houses.

The money for repair is allocated directly, and part of the money for building a new house is responsible for the court, and some residents are paid for by themselves.

The court paid the part of the payment first, and the residents paid it slowly over the month without interest.

When clearing rivers and ditches, it is necessary to clear them to widen the river.

Ensure that small boats can be carried on the village canal from the tributaries of the rivers in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Small wharfs can be built with cement to facilitate people without livestock to transport supplies by boats in the seasons other than winter.

Bi Gou was responsible for listening. The two palace maids and two eunuchs next to him put down their chopsticks and took out their notebooks to record what Li Yi said in turn.

"The people who have fields in Jingzhao Prefecture should not plant hemp, but they all plant cotton. They should be strategically required, eliminate mediocrity, and be purchased by the court to maintain prices."

Li Yi followed the idea and mentioned another thing that wanted to touch the interests of others, and canceled it.

The people no longer spend extra time on labor and hand over hemp and silk, do not plant hemp and mulberry trees, and do not raise silkworms.

All of them are changed to growing cotton, and the cotton seeds from Li Home Decor and Liulizhuang are enough.

Bi Gou looked around and felt guilty. He lowered his voice: "By the calculation, the cotton is separated, and there are many wealthy families.

They have changed to growing grain, and this year, 120 of them have participated in the greenhouse vegetables."

He is familiar with the data and sent someone to stare at how many vegetables they produce in the greenhouse, and of course he knows who planted them.

"The farmer doesn't have to worry about it. Not everyone eats the food they grow. When the Yellow River freezes and drys in winter, there will be less food."

Li Yi will not deal with the land annexation of wealthy families for the time being, so he will take his time and cannot escape.

Jingzhao Prefecture wants to annex the land again, but there is no chance.

Lijiazhuangzi lends money to others in another way, including buying clothes, seeing a doctor, buying cooking oil, etc.

The people are paying it back slowly, but if there is an accident, they cannot pay it back. The exchange period will be extended and interest will be exempted.

He also always finds work for people, so people can survive without selling land, and their income has increased.

Otherwise, why do the people have to set up the tablet of immortality for them? The tablet of immortality is not set up for you just by looking at your good looks.

Bi Gou sniffed again and swallowed his saliva: "Every year, he arranged special officials to take charge of Henan Prefecture, because he was afraid that Chang'an would not have enough food."

He understood this situation. Wei Zhigu went to Henan Prefecture to investigate, so he offended Yao Chong.

He returned from Henan Prefecture last year and had previously rectified the warehouses of Henan Prefecture.

There was no food in Chang'an, so the emperor took a large group of people to Luoyang for dinner.

There is a canal in Luoyang, so it is not necessary for the Yellow River to support transportation.

"Old Bi, there is no major war that requires the imperial court to allocate funds recently. I told the people that Jingzhao Prefecture will invest in these things."

Li Yi hasn't eaten a single bite of food until now, and he has just chatted.

"Ah? Give it all?" Bi Gouxin thrust.

"You said that you would take 1.8 million yuan to build roads and houses. When you really build it, you won't go out together.

This is called a special purpose, a hat-wearing person. If you don’t believe it, it won’t take two days to ensure that someone will get the money.”

Li Yi shrugged and told Bi Gou not to find a way out quickly, and everyone would eat it in one bite.

Bi Gou's mouth moved and lowered his head and sighed. The Minister of Revenue took charge of money, but it was not his own money, and others would worry about it, that's right.

"If you set up a project, others can't make the money. The land has not yet been melted and you need money when you encounter urgent matters, you can embezzle it."

Li Yi gave an idea.

"Didn't you say that the special funds are used for special purposes?" Bi Gou looked for a problem.

"You go to the Federation of Trade Unions and transfer the money to the Federation of Trade Unions and then transfer the money to other places.

The Industrial and Commercial Union took on the task of building roads and houses. As long as the project is completed, the money will be spent on the main place.

The money from other places was not mentioned to be used for special purposes. When it was more than enough, it would be transferred to the Industrial and Commercial Union."

Li Yi told me about the special application method.

Bi Gou considered it: "Where are they asking to do some work to settle the money once? How can they move it?"

"That is, the Industrial Union has a deposit for the job, and you move the deposit. If the money is not enough, I have it. I borrow the Industrial Union and increase the deposit."

Li Yi still has a way to deal with it.

"Can the deposit money be moved?" Bi Gou focused on the key points.

"No money should be moved. The Ministry of Revenue in the past has moved less? If you want to establish a complete system, the Ministry of Revenue will issue treasury bonds, I will buy it."

Li Yi followed the strict requirements and did not remove the government’s national debt. Isn’t that enough?

"What is a national debt?" Bi Gou heard the new term.
