There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

"So, they have a unity of church and state?" Wantong turned his head around several times, but couldn't figure it out. What do the people there think?

Is the head really broken because of believing in some god?

Doing your best for a god that doesn't exist?

"They...the situation is special." Wu Youwei said: "They have a part in the largest sect in the future."

"How many sects are there in later generations?" Wantong asked casually.

But Wu Youwei choked: "How do I know? Future generations will believe in freedom, and believe in whatever they like, but Taoism is the best. Its purpose is: love to believe in faith, don't believe in it, and don't let poor Taoists practice."

"Well, Taoism is very individual." Wantong thought for a while: "This matter cannot be neglected, you and Zhang Shen will both write a book or present a memorial.

"Okay, I got it." Wu Youwei is a prostitute. Originally, his memorials should be full of flowers, but he didn't have so much time to write so flattering, so his memorials were very concise. At the beginning, within [-] words, Say hello, Song Sheng, and then start to write the business, and finally write the signature, and the job is over.

After returning to the yamen, they had been tossed about for a whole day. After washing and eating, they strolled around the yard for a while, and then went to bed and lay down.

Wu Youwei remembered that when Zheng He sailed to the West, Daming's navigation technology seemed to be world-class, but after so many years, since Zheng He, Daming closed the door, while the Western powers began to travel across the ocean to find The colonies searched for gold everywhere to get rich.

Even missionaries dared to go rafting on the vast ocean, and were almost trapped to death on an isolated island. If foreigners can do it, so can people from Ming Dynasty!

As for the colonies... this Ming Dynasty probably wouldn't do that.

But if the site is allocated to the princes of the Zhu family to manage it, so as not to make them crazy...it can be considered.

While Wu Youwei was lying there thinking about it, Wantong had another thing to complain to Wu Youwei: "How many times have they been out? It's a big heart. It was agreed to keep three points for seven points. Some people dare to play tricks on me, thinking of keeping half and giving half away.

"What?" Wu Youwei became angry as soon as he heard it: "Don't he know that the most important thing is to avoid uneven distribution of spoils?"

"Why do you say so bluntly?" Wantong teased, "It's called not worrying about the few but worrying about the inequality."

"Stop talking to me about words." Wu Youwei said: "With their greed, they will definitely become more and more greedy...

People, don't they all have this virtue?

Especially when they are doing a costless business.

"So I let them think about it, the result of those 35 taels of gold." Wantong said quietly: "Then they stopped."

Only then did Wu Youwei be happy: "That's right, reach out for the money you should take, and don't worry about taking the money you shouldn't.

"And they forgot, what am I doing..." Wantong was speechless for a moment: "I was born in Jinyiwei, and the people around me are also Jinyiwei!"

How could he be greedy for money with them?

If you have enough money, do you still want to become a rich man?

The emperor just disposed of a batch in the first month, so it's only been half a year?

He dared to commit a crime against the wind.

"Don't you want to live?" Wu Youwei was really speechless.

"After I finished speaking, they were all honest." Wan Tongdao: "How can the emperor not know what they did in private? It's just that the emperor eats meat and wants to give them some soup. The emperor is very generous. If you don't If you know how to advance and retreat, then don’t blame the emperor for letting their blood go.”

Wantong also hugged money here, but he came here according to the rules, and all the money he hugged went through Minglu, and even the gifts sent back to Beijing for Concubine Wan Gui were carefully selected by him. The excellent jewelry found in the pirate's lair that could be used by women was picked out by him and sent to Beijing. Whether it was suitable for Concubine Wan Gui or not, even if it was not suitable, could it be given away or appreciated by others?

Are there any precious things in it?

He sent it in so blatantly, and Emperor Xianzong would see it. He has not expressed his position, which means he acquiesced.

But if it's too presumptuous, it's different.

Look at those people who were cut off in the first month, do you think the current emperor is the one who "why not eat minced meat"?

If he was really like that, he would have been unable to support him long ago.

I didn’t see that there were no dragon sons born in the harem, so King Jian was kept in the capital. Even if he married a wife and started a family, he couldn’t leave. As a result, once a dragon son was born, there was no guarantee that he would grow up, so King Jian would leave Is it Beijing?

That was his own brother.

The younger brother of a first-milk compatriot.

With the emperor, are you playing tricks?

I'm not afraid to play my whole family to death.

The next day, Wu Youwei returned to normal, running around every day, after opening the highway with Qingpu County, and then opened the highway with Songjiang, the prefectural city, Huating County is within the boundary of Songjiang Prefecture, and opened together.

In addition, the waterway has also been widened, and the boats are like weaving, and the roads are like a network, extending in all directions.

Now there is no need to worry about pirates and Japanese pirates landing. In Jinghai twice a year, the officers and soldiers are no longer afraid of fighting.

Songjiang

Zhang Sheng is also working hard here. When he first came, he was very calm, just like the general magistrates. In addition, Zhang Sheng is the head of Tao Wen Academy. He came and brought a group of Tao Wen Academy. student.

Compared with the miscellaneous studies taught by Wu Youwei, what he teaches is the knowledge of the eight classics. In addition, Wu Youwei has been here for a few years, Zhang was promoted to the Hanlin Academy, and he went to the Taowen Academy when he was on vacation. A Hanlin gave them lectures, and Tao Wen Academy has become famous in Beijing and China in recent years.

This day, Zhang Sheng sent a message to Wu Youwei, asking him to "report on his duties", which was actually just a formality. After all, Zhang Sheng is now the magistrate, so he has to care about the government affairs of his subordinates from time to time.

After the debriefing, it was the family banquet. Mrs. Zhang cooked the meals herself, and Cui Tieniu was also at the dinner table.

Seeing Cui Tieniu, who is already an official, was very emotional.

Who would have thought that a child raised by a family that was forced by life to sell itself into slavery could become an official.

Zhang Sheng still admires Wu Youwei when he talks about it now: "Fortunately, when you built it, you designed it well, and now all departments and colleges are full of people, and there are many students graduating every year.

"That's also because you are here." Wu Youwei didn't take credit for it. He clearly knew that his specialty was not teaching those students to be officials, but teaching and educating people.

He divided the various subjects, and now he has made some achievements. Now those students have come to Shanghai County to work as teachers in Shanghai Comprehensive Academy.

"However, it is impossible for me to rebuild here." Zhang Sheng said: "Tear down and rebuild, Qingpu County can do it, but I can't here, so I plan to expand."

"Expansion?" Wu Youwei was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood after thinking about it: "It's also possible."

Accompanying Cui Tieniu said: "It can also be called Xincheng, and then the second and third rings?"

"You can call it if you like, and the place names are different anyway." Wu Youwei smiled: "This can be called the old city of Songjiang Prefecture, and the newly built ones outside can be called the new city, and when the new ones are built, they can be called the second and third rings. Every new building has to wrap the urban area again, just like wearing clothes, layer by layer.

In fact, it's okay to be boxy like Beijing, but the conditions here don't allow it.One ring and one ring are also good.

Wu Youwei also gave him a lot of ideas, such as sewers, such as water supply, and the purchase and sale of the house after the house was built, and the initial investment.

"What if I don't have money?" Zhang Sheng asked Wu Youwei, "I'm not as rich and powerful as you.

"Then let's draw the land!" Wu Youwei said cheerfully: "The land is sold, but there must be a qualified construction team, and there must be regulations for the residents to buy...

He is already familiar with this set, and Shanghai County currently has [-] construction engineering teams, eight of which have more than [-] people.

There are all kinds of people in it, including masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths...

He said a lot, but Zhang Sheng didn't remember: "Write a charter tomorrow, and I'll take a look."

"Okay!" Wu Youwei nodded: "But you have to give priority to our Shanghai construction team!"

Zhang Sheng remembered what Yang Yiqing said to him: "Yes, but how much priority you can give me depends on the plan you gave me."

He is much smarter than that guy Yang Yiqing, Cui Tieniu just served soup for the two of them: "I have talked so much, drink soup, drink soup!"

The soup was seafood soup with fish balls in it, Wu Youwei slammed his mouth after drinking it: "One more bowl!"

Because of the hot weather, Wu Youwei nestled in the county office of Shanghai County to write and draw after returning home and seldom went out.

Wantong still needs to train the navy, and the Zhenwei camp he brought, although it has maintained 1 people in recent years, many people have settled here in Shanghai County, married wives and had children, They were transferred to the Shanghai Guard by Vantone, and they could guard the border in the guard. The Zhenwei Camp would return to the capital sooner or later, but they all had families, so they could only take root here.

But it is also good to keep your own people, and you can put people in it.

There are many things Wu Youwei doesn’t know, and Wantong didn’t intend to keep it from him, but he won’t tell if he doesn’t ask, because his own official position is very special, and Wu Youwei knows this, so he never asks. his job.

Wantong took advantage of this opportunity to arrange a lot of people from the emperor, one of them was to watch the changes in Shanghai County, so that he could repay the emperor to know the truth; monitor.

The emperor will not allow local officials to become bigger, and the kings of all dynasties have learned too many lessons.

Foreign relatives, clan, ministers, etc., need to be considered by the emperor.

In fact, he was also very surprised that Emperor Xianzong indulged Wu Youwei so much and made Shanghai County like this.

After the training, Wantong was sweating all day. After returning home, he took a shower. When he went out, he heard that Wu Youwei was handling the company in the front office, so he asked him to come back for dinner.

Passing by the office area, I heard the sound of "cracking" at the tax office, so I went in curiously and found that they were all calculating taxes.

"Isn't Shanghai County tax-free?" Wantong frowned: "Why do you have to work overtime?"

At this point, it's time to go back to eat, right?

"This is the quarterly tax form. The students will return it when they are finished. These are handed in and reviewed by the higher-ups, and they are available every year." The humane person in charge of taxation said: "It's easy to let the higher-ups pay the taxes. I know the general situation of taxation in Shanghai County.

No one can figure out the details, but the approximate amount can still be delineated. For example, it may only be 1 taels in the first year, and it will increase tenfold in the second year, and 10 taels can be easily won.

Now, the Wusongkou Wharf alone has a tax of 20 taels!

This does not include the spring and autumn seasons when sailing with the navy to do business, when the tax was higher.

Wantong remembered that Wu Youwei seemed to have promised Emperor Xianzong that he must be surprised when he was asked to pay taxes!

Thinking that even without the six-year tax exemption, the property shipped from Shanghai County would be enough for Emperor Xianzong to be satisfied.

Wu Youwei wanted to be as "transparent" as possible. In the future, taxes would definitely have to be handed over, but there must be a fixed number of how much to pay, and the basis for this fixed number was the reports from Shanghai County over the years.

It turned out that Wu Youwei would not give it to the previous magistrate. Later, when there was no magistrate, he kept the files for himself.

He didn't hand it over until Zhang Sheng came.

At the same time, I also gave Liu Xuan a copy, and I have two records on my side, and one for archiving.

After Wu Youwei saw this, he wandered around to find Wu Youwei and asked him to come to the backyard for dinner.

"En." Wu Youwei put away his pen and ink: "The weather here is still so hot."

It's like a fire outside, it's really hot in June and July.

"I passed by the office area and saw many people making tax reports. Why did you get so many copies?" Wantong asked as he walked back with the people.
