Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

Rice is important, and meat is of course also very important. The prices of pork, beef, and sheep are also negotiated one by one. They are whole, depilated, and slaughtered. The classification is quite detailed, and even the edible internal organs of animals Under Lin Bei's instructions, the price was negotiated.

Through this pricing, Lin Bei found that the food cost of Han Dynasty people was actually higher than that of modern people, and it was not a little bit higher, but several times higher.

As far as rice is concerned, the median value of good rice is five yuan per catty, but how much is modern rice per catty?It’s only two or three yuan. If we consider the output per mu of land in modern times and the output per mu in ancient times, it can be said that the cost of a catty of rice in ancient times was five or six times higher than that of modern rice.

This is the case for rice and meat, not to mention salt. Even if Wanghai City produces salt, at least in the past few years, Linbei will not open up the sale and production of salt by the common people. The catty is 40 yuan, which is [-] times that of modern salt. This price is unbelievable to Lin Bei, but even the common people don’t think this price is very high. Many people even think that the salt in Wanghai City is refined salt. It's still low.

After the Lantern Festival, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month in the new calendar of the Dragon God, An Zhongzhi sent sergeants to distribute the first batch of Dragon God coins to Wanghai people. The first batch of Dragon God coins were distributed according to the number of people. People under the age of 12 are not counted as the number of people. Wanghai people over three years old, under 50 years old and over 50 years old are counted as half a head, and only 100 yuan will be given out. Those in the middle age will be given one head. Regardless of gender, they will be given 100 yuan. Bian Ji, An Zhongzhi, Cui Lan, and Huang Yueying all received [-] yuan, while Lin Bei, the dragon god, did not have a dime.

On the day after the money was distributed, Lin Bei sent a sergeant out to inquire about the news, and the sergeant reported back that all Wanghai people did not touch the money, but carefully saved it.

"Are they going to collect them as antiques?" Lin Bei felt speechless. After a few decades, maybe these dragon coins will become more valuable, but now, Lin Bei wants to see Wang Hairen use them. The money, rather than rotten.

On the second day, that is, the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the sergeant came back to report that the Wanghai people still didn’t use the Dragon Coins much, but several families’ Dragon Coins were bitten by children... Lin Bei couldn’t laugh or cry, and then Then I realized that currency safety regulations had to be introduced.

When An Zhongzhi and some principals urgently discussed the safety regulations of Dragon God Coins, Lin Bei came up with a trick to allow Wanghai people to use the money, that is, there is a charge for taking a car.. From Wanghai City by steam car to Linjiang City is [-] cents, and Yanhe City is [-] cents...

PS:....

Chapter 283

Although Lin Bei came up with the trick of fare, when the prices in Wanghai City were not in circulation, Wanghai people were still cautious about the use of Dragon God Coins, but An Zhong told Lin Bei that this would only be temporary. Yes, when each household distributes the land equally, the use of Dragon God coins will gradually improve.

After the issuance of Dragon God coins, the officials in Linbei and Wanghai City became more busy, because they had to formulate tax issues, officials' monthly money and welfare benefits, etc. In addition, because of the habits of Lord Dragon God, the names of officials It is also gradually changing, such as An Zhongzhi's position, he is a Sinonong, and he is in charge of money and food. Lin Bei sometimes forgets the title of the position of Sinonong, and he will call out after a long time: Minister of Finance?

The habits of Lord Dragon God are the habits of the subordinates, so Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi are getting used to it. Now An Zhongzhi hears that Sinong knows he is calling him, and the Minister of Finance knows that he is calling him...

The change of the job title was only a small matter, but the upcoming tax system and the treatment of officials gave Lin Bei a headache. For this reason, Lin Bei quarreled with Bian Ji and others several times.

"What's wrong with the businessman? Does the tax system for businessmen have to be so high?" Lin Bei stared.

"My lord, if merchants earn more money, the taxes will naturally be higher. My lord, you set the common people's tax at one-tenth, and the merchants at four-tenths, isn't it normal? The commercial tax of the Han Dynasty court is now How about five out of ten taxes?" An Zhongzhi didn't give in.

"It's in other places. I hope that Haicheng will encourage business. Three-tenths of the business tax is already extremely heavy."

"My lord, if you want to encourage business, we don't object, but the people are the foundation of a country. If your lord encourages business, who will farm the land in the future? Where will my food come from?"

"I didn't say that common people should not farm land. You heard me clearly. Encouraging business and common people to cultivate land are two completely irrelevant things. Agriculture and business, agriculture and commerce must be combined. An Zhongzhi, don't bully me. Understand."

"Your Excellency, I really don't understand. If the commercial tax is set at three-tenths, with my Wanghai's current conditions, I'm afraid no one will be able to farm the land." An Zhongzhi refused to give in at all at this moment, like a cockfight.

"We have to consider the freight and labor required by the merchant. Let's take a step back. What about the commercial tax of [-]/[-]?"

An Zhongzhi reluctantly nodded, and said: "Next, my lord, let's talk about the monthly money of us officials."

"Well, let's talk."

The monthly money of officials in the Han Dynasty was calculated by how many stones and rice.In Wanghai City, it is converted into dragon coins. At the same time, it is not a stone, but a catty. Naturally, Lin Bei has no monthly rules. The next one is the dragon god envoy Bian Ji, whose monthly coin is the highest.Eight hundred catties of rice a month, calculated according to five yuan per catty of good jade.4000 yuan a month, then Cui Lan and Huang Yueying, 3000 yuan a month, An Zhongzhi 500 yuan, and then down according to the position, Lin Beiyue frowned more and more.Even the lowest-ranking officials have to have a monthly payment of one hundred catties of rice, which is [-] yuan in dragon coins.

"An Zhongzhi, you are going crazy, no, it's too high. Bian Ji's daily work is not as much as that of the petty officials. Why give him 4000 yuan?"

Bian Ji was also shot while lying down, and smiled wryly beside him: "My lord, it's all determined by loyalty, you have to scold him."

"An Zhongzhi, and you, can you eat six hundred catties of rice a month? Can you eat twenty catties of good rice a day? Are you going crazy?"

An Zhong said frankly that this work was impossible, and said loudly: "My lord, this can't be calculated in this way. It is true that I can't eat six hundred catties of rice every month, but this month's money can't be based on how much rice I can eat. Calculate it?"

"Anyway, it can't be done, it's too high. For the time being, your monthly money is uncertain. We will make a decision after calculating the monthly income of our common people. With a monthly money like yours, how many people will support you? Are you going crazy?"

"Well, my lord, you are the oldest, so you can be what you say." An Zhong was speechless. If you want to say this, you are the one who doesn't want to talk about it now.

When Bian Ji and An Zhong came out of the city lord's mansion, they smiled wryly at each other, and Bian Ji said, "My lord is not very proficient in internal affairs."

An Zhongzhi nodded: "Well, Zhongzhi has already seen it."

"Then you will have to work harder in the future."

"Zhongzhi understands."

"But you were very brave just now, you dared to talk to adults like that."

An Zhongzhi suddenly smiled wryly: "Master, don't make fun of me, I'm still in a cold sweat."

Bianji laughed.

Just when An Zhongzhi was about to have a tough fight with Lin Bei on the matter of the official monthly rules, He Ming returned to Wanghai City, and the Dawei Dragon King warship also docked at the same time. Lin Bei hurriedly talked to Bian Ji, and brought Cui Lan, summoned the sergeants, left a lot of things alone...

"My lord... my lord..." Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi kept calling him, and the two of them were already a little bit pissed off.

The so-called son of a thousand gold can't sit still. Unless a political power is at a critical moment, the leader will not go to war. This dragon god is good, and he will run away if he can't see it. There will be no more love.

"It can be regarded as coming out." Lin Bei sighed when the boat was far away.

Cui Lan was speechless at the side. She heard the shouts of Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi just now, and now listening to Lin Bei's words, why does this Lord Dragon God look like he just came out of the cage?

Lin Bei sighed and said: "Cui Lan, you don't know, An Zhongzhi and those officials talk about things I don't understand in front of me all day long, and my head is about to explode..."

"It turns out that the adults also don't understand something?" Cui Lan asked.

"There are many things I don't understand. Even God doesn't know everything."

"I seem to understand. My lord and Ansinong seem to have quarreled a few times over taxation and monthly bills, right?"

"Well, it does."

"Excuse me for what Cui Lan said bluntly, since your lord doesn't understand this matter, why don't you just hand it over to Si Nong?"

Lin Bei let out a long sigh: "Why don't I want to hand over the power to him, but..."

Lin Bei really couldn't say the reason. He really didn't understand the details of many things, but he did know the impact of these things. The amount of taxation is related to how much the leaders attach importance to these two industries, whether they emphasize agriculture over commerce, or emphasize commerce over agriculture. The former will make Wanghai City an agricultural-based regime, while the latter will bring Since the beginning of capitalism, another example is the monthly salary of officials. If it is too high, it will increase the burden on the common people. On the surface, it seems that high salaries support honesty, but the actual effect is very poor.

But knowing the impact is knowing the impact, but Lin Bei doesn't know anything about the actual operation. Even if he wants to enforce it as a dragon god, he can't implement it. For example, Lin Bei is the boss of the company, and he has to cut wages for the workers. , because it is good for him, but he doesn't know how much to cut the wages of the workers. Without specific figures, Lin Bei can't just say that you all have to cut wages and it's over?If you subtract one hundred, you will lose one thousand, or you will lose one thousand. You have to come up with specific figures to let your subordinates know.

This is also the reason why Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi quarreled. Lin Bei just talked without practicing, just blindly said that this is bad and that is bad, but he couldn't tell the details. An Zhong faced such a dragon god. What's worse is that he is about to vomit blood from anger, it's a good thing for Lin Bei to leave for a while, both sides calm down.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Anzhong will definitely come up with several plans for me to choose from until then. I'll see when I go back. How about Jiaozhi?" Lin Bei asked about the war, and he was not good at internal affairs. But Lin Bei is not bad in terms of military affairs. He now feels that fighting a war is much easier than dealing with internal affairs.

Cui Lan also wisely changed the topic: "There hasn't been much movement in Jiaozhi for the past two days, but our scouts have indeed found out that Mancheng is using cement to build roads. It seems that the Zhen family is indeed selling cement."

Lin Bei nodded: "With Man City's current manpower and material resources, if you really want to build cement roads, it will definitely be faster than I am Wang Hai City. What Zhen Ping said is that cement will be sold in the next year. Manzi has been getting cement for more than ten days, if he really wants to repair the road, it can be done for thousands of miles."

Cui Lan thought about the speed of Wanghai City's road construction, and then thought about the number of people in Mancheng, and nodded approvingly. Wanghai City used up to 2 people to repair it at a time, but Mancheng could use more than ten times the number of people. If it is enough, it is really not a problem to spread thousands of miles in more than ten days.

"However, I'd like to see the big barbarians build roads. It would be best if the South Vietnam border is covered with concrete roads." Lin Bei laughed again.

This is the purpose of his selling the cement production method to the Zhen family, so that the transportation of the states in the Central Plains will be developed. When the time comes, the heroes will no longer be able to get along in the Central Plains, so they will flee to the surrounding countries and wipe out the barbarians, so that they will not always be on their own. People hit their own people.

Cui Lan smiled, and was about to speak, but suddenly pointed to the right: "My lord, look there, that is the manatee island that my lord said, there are a lot of them?"
