At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Eight official hat chairs were arranged in two rows in front of Chu Heng's case.

Xie Yuheng sat on the edge of the second row, and most of the time, he just listened to their discussions.

Unless asked, do not interrupt randomly to show off your knowledge.

After the old chief assistant expressed his opinion, Yang Chengwu stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment and said:

"The next time the army is drafted, these two places can be drafted first, as well as the labor service."

"Sweet potatoes have only been popularized for a few years. These people are full and have no place to use their strength!"

"Mr. Yang is right, but this is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause!"

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes, what is the foundation? It is the foundation of favoring boys over girls.

Even in later generations, this is the case. If a family has a daughter, one family will keep her, and if a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her!

Si Yuandao glanced at his precious apprentice and said, "I think we can imitate Jiangling Xie's Academy in setting up an official school to cultivate people through literature."

"In addition to learning various crafts, you can also take some ideological classes to learn benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, gentleness, courtesy and humility."

"In the long run, as long as we form a habit, we will surely improve the quality of the people."

When Zheng Xiu from the Ministry of Finance heard this, he almost wanted to cry.

"Master Si, although the caravan has made some money in the past two years."

"But this old Xiongnu Chanyu may die one day."

"We have to prepare for military expenses, so how can we have spare money to run an official school?"

Xie's Academy was built in a low-level manner, and the Marquis of Jiangling family funded it at the beginning.

Later, he started a business partnership with college students and became self-sufficient.

But the nature of official learning is different. The official learning of the imperial court cannot be on the same side as that of businessmen.

Si Yuandao sighed. He also served as the Secretary of the Household Transfer Department and knew the difficulties of the Household Department.

In the final analysis, the family's financial resources are still poor.

Otherwise, just open a charity house and adopt all the abandoned baby girls. Why would there be such an imbalance in the ratio of men to women?

For a moment, the hall fell into a bleak silence.

Chu Heng also sighed heavily, it is easy for a foolish king to do something, but it is difficult for a wise king to do it.

He looked at the only cyan figure and asked, "Xie Qing, do you have any wonderful ideas?"

Xie Yuheng thought for a while and said: "I also agree with what Mr. Wang said that we should educate people through literature."

"Xiwen requires many years of habit to transform people, and it is passed down from generation to generation. This benefit will last for thousands of years."

"Of course, Mr. Zheng is right. At this time, the more important thing is to guard against the Northern Thieves. Money needs to be spent only on critical areas."

"But reducing expenditure is not as good as increasing revenue. Yu Heng believes that its origin should come from Ding Yinshang."

Zheng Xiudao: "But in recent years, the one-whip strategy has been widely implemented and tax reductions have been successively implemented. Among them, Ding Yin does not account for much."

Yan Jingzhi hit the nail on the head: "It's not much, but it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to pay this money. Besides, children are also human beings and they have to open their mouths to eat."

Xie Yuheng stood up, bowed his hands and said, "So, I have the courage to speak out."

Chu Heng waved his hand, and everyone in the palace retreated knowingly.

"I believe that this source should originate from the fields. We will determine the standard of Ding Yin, distribute it evenly into the field tax, and collect the field tax uniformly!"

"The standard of land tax should be measured by its fertility and size. As long as there is an acre of land, you have to pay an acre of land silver."

“In this way, farmers can pay taxes wherever their fields are, which is conducive to farmers’ mobility and also promotes local development and marriages.”

The bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were confused after hearing this.

Exit asked: "How can it promote local development and marriages?"

Before Xie Yuheng could reply to him, Si Yuandao retorted, "You are stupid. The tax is on land, not population."

"Local road diversions do not need to be so strictly controlled. More roads can be opened for farmers to go out to work."

"You will have money if you work, and you will have extra money. When you go home during the Chinese New Year, why don't you buy some new clothes and snacks for your little kid?"

"You have saved a lot of money. Why don't you renovate your house? If you buy a mule or horse, won't the profit-making merchants also have to pay more taxes?"

The right servant of the Ministry of Personnel muttered: "But what does this have to do with Yanzhou and Yuzhang County of Yangzhou, where many Chengding have no girls to marry?"

Not to mention that Si Yuandao wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this, even the old chief minister couldn't help but hold his head.

The ministers are all veteran ministers who have conquered the world.

This guy's brain is actually a bit worrying.

Chen Qiu sighed, this person is the youngest in the cabinet, only forty.

It’s no wonder that His Majesty is worried every day. When Si Yuandao and these old ministers retire, there will be no one available...

Xie Yuheng suppressed laughter and explained: "If you have money, you can establish an official school like Xie's Academy, and both men and women can learn crafts."

"In this way, without Ding Yin, women can make money on their own, and there won't be so many baby girls drowned."

"After many years of education and improving the gentleness and quality of the people, they will not easily dominate the mountains and become kings and threaten the court."

"In addition, the extra money can be used to buy official land and rent it out, and use the rent to establish a charity house for baby girls."

"In this way, if you give birth to an unwanted daughter, you can send her to the shantang and be raised by the shantang."

"When the baby girl grows up, she will also need to earn enough money for the charity to raise her."

"You can leave on your own and establish a female household. It only takes more than ten years for the shantang to be self-sufficient."

Xie Yuheng paused for a moment, looked at Chu Heng, and saluted again. He said in a deep voice:

"Just spreading taxes on the land in this way will inevitably affect the interests of the landowners and many noble families."

"The chaos is no less than that of Cheng Ding occupying the mountain and becoming king."

After saying that, Xie Yuheng put on a sad face and said sadly: "Today, I will give lessons to the scholars in the Common Hall."

"I was summoned by a poor prison student to ask about the holy monk of Wanxiang Kingdom."

"The holy monk performed a ritual for a noble family in the capital and received one thousand taels of silver."

"This one thousand taels is enough to cover the expenses of more than 300 ordinary households for a year."

The Hanlin Academy was in the palace, and Chu Heng himself knew about this.

As soon as the people from the Wude Department reported Xie Yuheng's revelation of the magic stick, he went to the Senglu Department to deal with it.

As for offending the squires and noble families...

Chu Heng followed his father since childhood, learned the ways of a wise king, and had great ambitions in his heart.

Otherwise, we would not see the people in poverty, rise up, directly rebel and drive Chu Tianchen off the throne.

Not only the ministers want to leave a name in history and be famous for generations to come, but he, the emperor, also wants to do so!

Otherwise, who doesn’t know how to eat well and use good things, and who doesn’t know how to enjoy themselves.

Didn't you see that "The Great Learning" says: Virtue is the foundation, wealth is the end. The external base is the internal base, fighting for the people and giving away to others!

If you want to be famous throughout history, you must cultivate your character, manage your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world!

Well, as for this family... Chu Heng is also in a mess for the time being, with no heirs and a tense relationship with his mother.

However, I will sacrifice my family for everyone!

Give up the gentry and serve the people! He Chu Heng is not afraid!

The monarch and his ministers were discussing the matter in full swing, but the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel still had only a partial understanding.

In the beginning, Your Majesty, didn't you let them solve the problem of being unable to marry a wife? ?

He had thought about it on the way when he came, and he could start from another country.
