After Yunchu became a Tang person, it was a matter of course for him to register as a Tang person. In addition, he was also working for the government, so naturally he had to be perfect in joining the household registration.
Several people finished eating the delicious and famous vinegar and celery, nibbling the beef that the emperor can't eat often now, and one person ate two bowls of mutton noodles.
In the end, one person held a bowl of green ant wine that could not be described as sweet or sour, and helped Yun Chu consider how to settle down in order to maximize the benefits of this matter.
On this point, there is no difference between ancient and modern times. The government belongs to the officials first, and then to the people of the world.
Think about it, who will all the officials serve in the end, and you will know how to choose in this kind of matter.
Although what He Shen said in the TV series is inhumane, in actual operation, it is operated according to the sentence "Save the people first, save the officials", and there are no exceptions since ancient times.
"In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, General Hou went on an expedition to Gaochang. Most of the civilians who accompanied the army were from Longyou Road, and some were from two Fuguo counties, Chang'an and Wannian counties.
Some of these sinners took the initiative to come to the Western Regions with the army, and were willing to spend their lives serving in the Western Regions to seek pardon for their families.
These people usually take the initiative to participate in the siege of the city in order to perform meritorious service. As you know, these people are usually sent out just to consume the enemy's arrows and test the enemy's practicality, so basically all of them died.
Yunchu, I think you should choose one of the documents left by these people to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan. This will be good for you, and it will also be of great benefit to the dead man's family.
According to the rules of my "Datang Code", if you serve in the Western Regions for fourteen years, all kinds of sins will be offset, even those who have meritorious service."
He Yuanshan took a sip of syrup, patted his bulging belly and gave Yunchu a very good idea.
Yunchu silently picked up the jade plaque hanging on his waist, shook his head slightly and said: "The new rain falls in the Nanshan Mountains, and the clouds are born in the mountains. It is already very unfilial for me not to remember the names of my ancestors. How can I join their family and become an heir?"
"
He Yuanshan smiled and said: "Some criminal prisoners know that they will die, and they feel that being a prisoner will humiliate their ancestors. They often remain anonymous on the way to death. There are many anonymous people. You only need to find the files of these people and add a few strokes yourself. We will
After the seal is used, even if the file is delivered to the Anxi Army Protectorate Office, even if someone comes to check it, you are definitely from Chang'an."
Hearing He Yuanshan explain the route so clearly, Yun Chu looked resentfully at Fang Zheng, who was laughing and drinking, and Liu Xiong, who was fiercely jealous, and finally frowned and said, "You can't make money with this kind of thing in the future. I also hope that some of you will
The elder brother can rise to the top and give the younger brother a hand."
Fang Zheng threw a piece of vinegar into his mouth and chewed it loudly: "I have so many good brothers-in-law, but in the end, Chu Suiliang was in trouble just because of a dispute over the fields.
If he refuses to let me go, the good Gaoling County Magistrate will become his mother's grand order.
I’m going to shut down Chu Suiliang’s wife. She has no hope of promotion here. If she doesn’t make any money, how can she afford the two kilograms of sand that I eat every year?”
Yun Chu once again looked at Fang Zheng as if he were looking at an idiot without moving his eyes.
Fang Zheng was a little frightened by Yun Chu's look, so he whispered: "What's wrong?"
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Do you have the ability to ask your brother-in-law, who is a captain in the Zhechong Mansion under the Anxi Army Commander, to help you send the money you have earned over the years to Yumen Pass?"
Fang Zheng sighed and said: "No, the Zhechong Mansion on Longyou Road has always been too high-minded and doesn't deal well with our Anxi Army. The guard of Yumen Pass may not be accommodating."
Yun Chu sneered and said: "Hou Jun defeated Gaochang and won countless money and beauties. When he entered Yumen Pass, the guard kept a close eye on him. As a result, he was executed by Emperor Taizong just after he returned to the court.
prison.
I have been reading the documents and files these days, and I still see some clues. Our Anxi Army is alone overseas, and it is quite wealthy here. If there is no supervision, wouldn't we all be fat and oily?
The Yumen Pass stationed by Zhechong Prefecture on Longyou Road is targeting our Anxi Army. Except for the money we carry with us, it would be difficult to get even more into the pass."
He Yuanshan said: "It would not be stable even if it were replaced by golden sand."
Liu Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do?"
Yun Chu thought for a while, took out the mountain-cutting ax from his house, threw it in front of Fang Zheng and others and said, "The predecessors have already figured out a way for us."
Liu Xiong picked up the mountain-breaking ax, took a look at it, then threw it away and said disdainfully: "It's just a show. If you want to break armor, you might as well use the Mo Dao."
When Yun Chu saw Fang Zheng, He Yuanshan was watching him waiting for an explanation, so he smiled slightly and said: "Golden axe, silver axe, iron axe, which one do you want?"
Fang Zheng said hurriedly: "Of course it's a golden axe! Only a fool would choose an iron axe."
Yun Chu picked up the huge mountain-cutting ax and put it under his buttocks, sat down and said, "They thought so too, otherwise who would have gone crazy and brought such a heavy ax all the way to the Western Regions.
"
He Yuanshan, the wise man among the group, jumped up immediately and said, "Are you saying that the owner of this ax took an iron ax with him when he left seclusion, and replaced it with a gold ax when he returned?"
Yun Chu looked at the bulging eyes of several people and nodded with a smile: "Otherwise, such a valuable iron ax would not have fallen into the hands of slaves like Hou San."
He Yuanshan was really smart. He immediately drew inferences and said, "So, as long as we brothers turn gold into saddles, bits, axles, and shafts, and mix them with the army, wouldn't we be able to hide it from the enemy?"
Liu Xiong looked at Yun Chu for a long time and sighed: "The person who came up with this method to make money to enter the customs must be a scholar!"
After saying that, he hugged Yunchu's shoulders and said, "From now on, whether I will eat slave food or gentleman food for the rest of my life will all depend on you, brother.
As for the Western Region, as long as there is no war, you follow your brother and he will keep you safe. Even if you go to the battlefield, if you follow your brother closely, there is an 80% chance of surviving."
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh? We are a government official, not a government soldier. Why do we have to fight?"
Fang Zheng sighed and said: "The Turks are coming, the barbarians are coming, they don't care about the difference between the government and the soldiers, as long as they can kill one Tang Dynasty, it is their victory.
The Protectorate died at the foot of Kucha City, let alone us. In this place in the Western Regions, except for us Tang people who have signed up for our own regiment, everyone else is an enemy!"
With the method of making money to enter the customs, several people finished the wine with joy and sadness, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Yunchu didn't sleep, so Hou San heated up the hot water. He hurriedly washed off the sweat, lit the oil lamp on the table, and prepared to continue reading the documents he had not finished.
In any case, it is necessary to become familiar with the operation of the Tang Dynasty court and the legal requirements, especially the legal requirements for officials, in the shortest possible time.
This is a process that all officials must go through. It is very important for officials to know what they can do and what they must not do.
Yun Chu often lamented that he did not become an official in his previous life before the eight regulations were promulgated. Being an official at that time was really a very beautiful thing.
At dawn, Yun Chu suggested to Fang Zheng that the commercial tax in Kucha City should be increased to one tax per ten.
He really couldn't understand that in a commercial city like Qiuci, which is the center of the Western Region, countless cattle, horses, sheep and camels are traded every day, and all kinds of grains and materials are piled up like mountains. Who is this idiot who actually only collects taxes from the market in such an occupied area?
Tax is a small entry fee levied when people enter the market.
And Fangzheng, the bastard, continued to relax the implementation. For such a huge market, he only collected 4,000 guan a month, and there were no other charges.
This is simply an unforgivable thing, and it is ironclad evidence of the inaction of the government! (You know, in later generations, if a small-time writer writes a bad book and sells a bad copyright, he will be levied a 40% tax, and the following year six
You still have to pay taxes before the 30th of the month...it’s unreasonable.)
"Emperor Taizong decided, do you have any opinion on his old man?" Fang Zheng imitated Yun Chu and looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Besides, the tax law of the Tang Dynasty is mainly based on the agricultural tax under the rent adjustment system. Even if farmers sell their own agricultural products, they only receive city tax, and merchants only need to pay customs duties and market tax.
, there is no business tax as cruel as the ten-one tax you mentioned.
Those merchants are pitiful enough because they can't join the officialdom, they don't have permanent land, and when they marry, they can't even ride in a horse-drawn carriage. They have to carry goods from thousands of miles to sell in the Western Regions and earn some hard-earned money, so don't bother them."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "People in the Tang Dynasty naturally have preferential treatment when doing business, and they can follow the domestic commercial tax, but what about those barbarians who come to do business?"
Fang Zheng chuckled and said, "We are all people under the command of Tian Khan. In the past two years, the imperial court has done nothing but provoke others. If we are tolerant, everyone will have an easier time."
Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "As far as I know, Shi Guo's commercial tax is 50-50. I'm afraid that if we don't collect commercial tax, those barbarians will not only not be grateful, but will laugh at us as stupid donkeys."
Fang Zheng said puzzledly: "Qiuci City has been abandoned. The money we collected from the four thousand guan is already in vain. The commercial tax of a county in the Tang Dynasty does not even have 4,000 guan, which is already very good."
After saying that, this guy took his minions to Qiuci City. It was Shuori today and it was time to collect money. However, here he could not receive the copper coins that Datang urgently needed. He could only pay with gold sand, skins, cattle and sheep.
number.
Yun Chu looked at the Kucha City not far away and was really jealous. He just wanted to capture some barbarians to renovate the Kucha City, install a few gates, plug up the gaps in the city wall, and find some idle personnel from the Anxi Army.
Being responsible for managing this city is equivalent to having a golden rooster that keeps laying eggs.
It's a pity that people don't listen when they speak softly!
Of course Yun Chu knew that he was a man of few words and no one would listen to his grand economic plan.
In addition, this matter is simply not something that the small Kucha Grand Pass Command Office can push forward.
Such a decision can only be made by the Governor's Office or the Governor's Office. Neither the Protector's Office nor the Governor's Office can make such a big decision.
Therefore, what Yun Chu said was addressed to Fang Zheng's brothers-in-law, and definitely not Fang Zheng himself. He could only act as a sounding board to let his high-ranking brothers-in-law know that under the command of Kucha Grand Pass, there were also
There is a little scribe who has some brains and is willing to think - Yun Chu.
After doing this, Yun Chu couldn't help but think of his chemistry teacher Liu Tiancheng. This was a man who could synthesize penicillin in a simple laboratory in a second-rate middle school. He died so lonely and desolate.
All his knowledge was eventually burned to ashes.
Today, He Yuanshan has made it very clear. It is no problem for Yun Chu to want household registration, and it is no problem to want various conveniences. The premise is that he must prove that everyone in the Daguan Ling Yamen must be in the same group.
Yun Chu paid a golden ax, so from then on everyone became as close as a family and no longer distinguished each other.
