Zhou Bida was right. The tax deducted by this master of Wancheng every year is much higher than the population tax collected by the Song Dynasty.
"You can't say that." Master Wang made the bottles in his hands, and checked them correctly. He asked his apprentice to carefully lift them onto the shelf, washed his hands, sat down and took a sip of the thick tea: "My two sons do not pay taxes because they are apprentices, and their income is low, so they don't have to pay any taxes. My eldest grandson is five years old this year. The primary school class has distributed books and does not have to pay money. He just needs to give the teacher a class during the New Year. It's just a thought, not a student."
Master Wang continued to calculate: "My family has eight acres of land and twenty acres of land. According to the original algorithm, one bucket per mu per year is not much, but if the branch is added, the change will be higher than the tax. The county will have to collect 20% of the consumption and 20% of the rats and birds. Let the tax collector kick it again, give him a tea and shoe consumption. There are many more I don't remember."
"Now, because I work, I am a master craftsman. My family has only two acres of land on the ground. Two acres of land on the ground have to be paid taxes. The rest are called ration fields. The ration fields are not taxed, and they support the elderly and the weak."
"There are two ways to pay taxed fields. One is to submit them, and the other is to sell grain according to the official price. My family has few land, and I pay 135 kilograms of grain every year, regular grain."
"Actually, I didn't pay it. Every year when my family paid, I spent a consistent amount of money to buy rice. I could just hand over the tickets for buying rice to the tax collector. I didn't have to move the rice home and then handed it over, which saved money from foot strength."
Han Jiang added: "If your two sons receive Xiajiang's iron plate, they will have to pay taxes."
"I will pay it, let's admit it. This tax is written on the surface, and I don't deduct it privately. I know how much I pay it. I have donated 100,000 yuan this year, and everyone donated some, and I will buy some pigs for the defenders of the Dengfeng North Line. We are happy."
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In Lin'an City, it is enough for a poor small household to eat and drink for a year.
Zhou Bida was very shocked by this enlightenment.
The Song Dynasty had a fiscal deficit every year and was unable to make ends meet every year. Every time there was something to do, I needed to pay extra money. When did I hear that ordinary people donated money?
Donating a person is not called donating. If many people donate, the amount is huge.
Who would have thought that Master Wang added: "As a result, the pig was not donated, and the pig was sent to the front line. A few days later, Sima from the army came to buy pigs. He thought he was an official, but he thought that he was the fifth boy from the old Wang family, and he beat him up. Who would have thought that the kid became tough and beat him again? He breathed a sigh of relief. A household cannot exceed five hundred dollars at most. Then he will finally donate it at 3,000 dollars per household."
Donate money!
You need to fight against the yamen to donate.
Zhou Bida felt that his previous moral values ​​had been completely subverted.
At this time, someone in the distance shouted: "Old Wang's third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, can you go to drink at night? If you go, I will go and grab the seat. Don't forget each person's wine ticket."
Master Wang responded loudly and said to Zhou Bida: "Although I don't know too many words, I can count it. When I lived in Xiangyang in the past, the wine was quite expensive. I heard that the court would collect 70% of the money for a bowl of wine. We have also been to Lin'an. We have drunk 100 ounces of wine per pound in Lin'an. The nobles can try our 8 ounces of wine per pound."
The implication of this is that the wine of 100 cigarettes in Lin'an City is not as good as the wine of 8 cents per kilogram here.
Zhou Bida turned his head and asked Han Jiang: "There is no ban here?"
Han Jiang shook his head: "Wine is available, and the alcohol is taxed twice as much. Moreover, the price of wine is divided into two types. Each household has a wine ticket. The price is the average price for buying wine. If there is no wine ticket, the price is three times higher. If you resell the wine ticket and work for ten days, and resell the wine ticket for one year."
Master Wang laughed: "The noble man drinks good wine. Dengfeng's rule is that you don't have to buy wine. You only need a ticket if you want sake. If you don't have a ticket, you drink sifted wine. If you have a ticket, you drink sake. Today you have a good wine."
This is just an ordinary kiln.
Looking at the sun, when I was about to finish work, many people began to pack up their tools and luggage.
Some people made an appointment to drink in groups of three or three.
Some young people also wanted to go to drink, but were beaten by the older ones. Then each of them sent a small ticket, and then they all took their backpacks and went to the open space behind the kiln with a bitter look on their faces.
Zhou Bida and I went over to see it.
Each person here only has one meal, so after eating, go to class.
Literacy school.
Zhou Bida didn't believe it very much, so he asked Lu You: "Fang Weng, is this for me to see?"
Lu You asked: "Yigong, this area under Wancheng is under a county. I will take you there. It is the initial idea for ordinary people to find a way to survive. But after people survive, they should naturally live better. If they live well, they should know a little word and understand some etiquette is the way to govern the world and the people."
Lu You are very proud of his advice.
What he had been pursuing, but had thought about it but did not think it could be realized, really existed.
Zhou Bida began to think about the counties and villages under Wancheng's control, and what places are worth taking a look at.
Han Jiang said at this time: "I won't follow you anymore. I'll go and do some private affairs."
Zhou Bida didn’t need Han Jiang to accompany him. Lu You could just be with him. He subconsciously replied: “Well, Brother Jiang, please go and do your business.”
But after answering, Zhou Bida reacted: "What are you doing in Wancheng?"
"have."
"What's the matter?"
"Private affairs."
Zhou Bida didn't believe that Han Jiang would have private affairs when he went to Wancheng. With the special nature of this place, everything for Han Jiang could not be a private matter.
But Han Jiang was bitten to death, and what he wanted to do was a private matter.
Zhou Bida didn’t know what was going on, just asked: “When will we meet in Wancheng?”
"Any time, I'm not far from the south of Wancheng."
"good."
What is not far from the south of Wancheng?
Zhou Bida made an analysis of his own understanding of Wancheng at the beginning.
Lu You knew very well that Zhou Bida could not guess.
Han Jiang went to the south of Wancheng for two things, one of which was indeed a private matter. Because Han Jiang was going to Tongbai Mountain.
Tongbai Mountain has a nice scenery.
But what Han Jiang cares about is a special workshop in Tongbai Mountain. Tongbai Mountain has glass tuff ore, as well as a lot of natural alkali, as well as mica, crystal, fluorite, etc.
A large number of glass craftsmen are constantly trying to burn so-called glass.
Han Jiang determined that glazed glass is an impurity material for glass, while glass is a material with higher purity.
Han Jiang needs this workshop.
In the original plan, the products of this workshop were used to make glassware for research, but now they are different. Han Jiang needs many gifts to go to Jinzhongdu and products that will be sold at sky-high prices in Lin'an in the future.
Crystal bottled wine, as well as crystal set wine utensils.
This is the first type of product sold to Lin'an after the undecided banned trade agreement between Lin'an and Wancheng came into effect.
