Yunshan Courtyard, the main hall of Li Mansion.
After hearing Li Zexuan's remarks, the magistrate He couldn't help but be taken aback. The ratio of agricultural tax and commercial tax was reversed. No one has dared to think about this since ancient times!
Ancient China was an agrarian society. All dynasties and dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. Of course, this suppression did not refer to collecting more taxes on business, but to impose many restrictions on the status of businessmen. The class division of scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen , nailing businessmen directly to the bottom of society!
However, although the Tang Dynasty followed the previous dynasties, it stipulated that merchants or those whose ancestors were merchants could not be officials, and imposed restrictions on the color of clothes, but in real life, merchants can enter and leave the palace, communicate with dignitaries and nobles, and very few people can also Compared with the previous dynasties, the social status of merchants is gradually improving by passing the reading examination and becoming an official.
Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibited nobles and bureaucrats from competing with the people for profit, they could not withstand the temptation of huge wealth, and nobles and bureaucrats entered the business world one after another to engage in business operations.
It is precisely based on this that the proportion of commercial tax collection in the Tang Dynasty was so low, because the vested nobles and bureaucratic groups would oppose the rulers "competing with the people for profits"! Moreover, if the nobles and bureaucrats want to avoid taxes, it is not too easy, which directly leads to the fact that the annual commercial tax revenue of the imperial court is even less than one-tenth of the agricultural tax. Over time, the rulers pay more and more attention to the commercial tax. Low!
This problem is not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in many dynasties before and even after the Tang Dynasty!
That's why the county magistrate was so surprised after hearing it!
"Master Marquis! If you rashly change the business tax rate, I'm afraid that all the shops in Lantian County will be moved out, and the gentry in the city may object together. I'm afraid that we will receive less business tax!"
He county magistrate has been an official for so many years, and he has much richer administrative experience than Li Zexuan. Almost instantly, he thought of the consequences of levying the business tax.
Li Zexuan waved his hand with a smile, and said: "Let's not mention this matter, in the future, Ben Hou will naturally have a way to make businessmen in the county pay more taxes voluntarily! Ben Hou should wait until he is familiar with the specific situation of Lantian County before talking about other things, otherwise It's really just talk on paper!"
Hearing this, the magistrate couldn't help but have a crush on Li Zexuan. In fact, before he came here, he was worried that Li Zexuan would follow his own wishes and arbitrarily implement government decrees. , As long as Li Zexuan doesn't rebel, no one can control it!
Now it seems that although Li Zexuan meant "reform", he did not forcefully and directly force "reform", which made him feel a little at ease!
No matter in ancient times or in modern times, what a department fears most is to "airborne" a leader who doesn't understand anything, and likes to command blindly!
"Master Hou, you are too modest! In recent days, the lower officials and the county magistrates in the Yazhong County will organize the situation of the villages in Lantian County into a booklet, and send it to you, Master Hou!"
He county magistrate arched the road.
"That's work!"
Thinking that he has become the "king" of Lantian County and can issue orders, Li Zexuan's heart can't help but be excited. He played city simulation games such as "City.Skyline" in his previous life. It's a very cool thing for the citizens of the gang to live a good life. Now, he has directly become the "king" of a piece of land, controlling the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, and the excitement in his heart is not comparable to the game.
Of course, after the excitement, he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He wanted to let all his fiefs live a good life! He wants to make Lantian County the richest county in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the whole world!
The magistrate He quickly waved his hand, saying you're welcome, and then he seemed to remember something and said:
"By the way! Lord Marquis! Your mansion in the county town has already been planned. The county government will recruit craftsmen to help you repair the mansion. If you have any needs or requirements, just send someone to inform the next official!"
Although Li Zexuan has mansions in Chang'an and Yunshan, but now that he has been awarded the entire Lantian County, he must also set up a mansion in the county seat. One is to declare the identity of the owner of Lantian County, and the other is to facilitate the normal county government. Officer, report to Li Zexuan on official business!
Li Zexuan thought about it for a while, and said, "There is no need for the county government to provide people and money. Ben Hou will send people to build it himself in a while, so there is no need to bother the county magistrate!"
The magistrate He hurriedly asked, "How can this be done? Since Lord Hou has been awarded the title of Lantian, repairing the mansion for Lord Hou is originally a matter for the yamen, so how can Lord Hou spend money?"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on! Ben Hou is not short of that amount of money. If the county magistrate is really unhappy, he will use the money originally given to Ben Hou to repair the mansion this month, and give double money to the officials and brothers in the yamen. Monthly salary! Quan should be a little thought of this marquis!"
Others are the three fires for new officials to take office, but Li Zexuan is the first to give each person a candy when he takes office, but his "candy" is not so delicious. If he finds out that someone in the county government is not doing well in the future, he will be rude. doubled back.
Thinking of Li Zexuan's current net worth, the magistrate He couldn't continue to persuade him. He could only hold hands and say, "Then the lower official will replace everyone in the ya, thank you, Lord Hou!"
After explaining things and making a preliminary handover of some affairs in Lantian County, the magistrate He tendered his farewell.
He was very satisfied with the result of this negotiation. Li Zexuan did not make things difficult for him, and for the time being, he would not dictate to the county government's "personnel structure" and government orders, and Lantian County would not be completely messed up because of the "airborne" of a master!

Time
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye came the fifteenth day of the first lunar month - the Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Little First Month, the Lantern Festival or the Lantern Festival!
The 15th day of the first lunar month is the night of the first full moon in the year, and it is also the night of the rebirth of one yuan and the rejuvenation of the earth. People celebrate this and it is also a continuation of the celebration of the new year. Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar" and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. Since the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, it was even more prosperous.
"The fire tree and the silver flowers are closed, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened. The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows each other.
From the song "The Fifteenth Night of the First Moon" written by Su Wei of Tang Dynasty, we can probably glimpse the grand occasion of the Tang people's celebration of the Lantern Festival.
In fact, from the night of the 14th day of the first lunar month, Chang'an City has released the curfew. On the 14th, 15th, and 16th, for three consecutive nights, people in the city can go out to enjoy the lanterns, which is called "night release".
Therefore, in these rare three nights, from the princes and nobles to the merchants and pawns, they all went out to admire the lanterns. As a result, the streets of Chang'an were blocked by cars and horses, and the crowds were turbulent and lively.
And Li Zexuan, because he was trapped in Yunshan, naturally couldn't feel the liveliness of Chang'an City last night, but early this morning, someone rushed from Chang'an City to Yunshan in a hurry.
