Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 70 The pie in the sky

As the documents of "Zuyong Modulation" were distributed to counties and counties in Guanzhong, people were a little curious about this novel tax law.

Fortunately, along with the documents distributed to the counties and counties, there are supporting "auxiliary teaching materials", that is, simple digital charts.

Now those who can become officials are basically the children of the family, and the children of the family are well-educated. They are not slow to learn numbers and charts that are simpler than calculations, so they can clearly accept and use all the indicators of the policy. passed on to the people.

In fact, the common people didn’t understand much, and at this time, conscientious officials would help them to calculate an account, telling them that rent adjustment could save them a lot of miscellaneous taxes, and they could even use labor labor instead of taxes.

If unconscionable officials don't speak up, the people don't care.

They only know that they and their sons can get the fields.

This is enough.

Compared with the ordinary people who can only accept it, the aristocratic family also began to study this decree.

What they study is not how advanced this tax law is, but how to evade taxes.

"Zuyong modulation, this "tune" is well used!"

"Tune" means to levy taxes according to the income from the land. There are ten thousand ways for the aristocratic family to minimize the harvest of their own fields.

There is also a regulation in Zuyong Modulation that property can be used instead of labor, which is basically tailor-made for the aristocratic family.

Ordinary people pay the general land rent and basically only have enough food and clothing for themselves. Where can they get spare money to pay for their own labor exemption?
Therefore, this set of tax laws is not so scary in the eyes of the aristocratic family. On the contrary, there is still a lot of room for use, and it has begun to help the promotion and implementation of the rent regulation.

In fact, Zuyong Modulation was originally a product of the prosperous Guanlong Group in the early Li and Tang Dynasties. Although it capped the value of the family to a certain extent, it still gave the green light to the family in more aspects.As long as the current Guanzhong family is not stupid, they have no reason to reject this tax law.

With the implementation of the New Deal and the gradual end of spring plowing, Guanzhong finally recovered a bit of vitality under the shadow of years of war.

And Liu Yizhen also started to continue his big project——

New Chang'an.

Others may have to go through a lot of research to determine the address of New Chang'an, but Liu Yizhen can find it with his eyes closed.

That is the south of Longshouyuan, twenty miles southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty.

The location of Tang Chang'an in the future.

This is the flattest area between the Ba, Chan, and Ju rivers. There are rivers in the east and west, and the terrain is slightly higher. It is the best choice for building a city.

As for the city building plan, Liu Yizhen is a free prostitute.

Although Yu Wenkai's original manuscript has not been handed down to later generations, Lu Dafang, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, once drew the stone carving "Chang'an Map".

It is a pity that this stone carving has been handed down to later generations and has been dilapidated. Fortunately, in the 67th year of the new Chinese calendar, Wang Shusheng's team from Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology finally repainted the complete "Chang'an Map" after several years of hard work, making Tang Chang'an reappeared to the world after a thousand years before.

This picture is in Liu Yizhen's mind at the moment, after all, this new Chang'an is what he is about to build.

Compared with the establishment period of Han Chang'an, today's Chinese civilization has developed to a new level, which means that the construction of the new Chang'an needs to pay attention to many things.

Such as the combination of science and Feng Shui...

The dragon's head originally had six mounds running east-west. If you look down on Chang'an from the air, you can see that the shape of the ground is very similar to the six lines of the Qian hexagram in the "Book of Changes".

Afterwards, the buildings of New Chang'an were arranged according to the pattern of the ninth day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and the ninth day.Among them, the ninth day is Qianlong, so don't use it.The ninety-two high slope is "seeing the dragon in the field", so it can only be "set up in the palace to be the residence of the emperor".On the slope of ninety-three, a gentleman works all day long, and is vigilant at night, without blame...

There are also one hundred and eight squares corresponding to the stars in the sky, the layout of sitting north and south, and the gates of the four spirits in the east, west, north and south.

It can be said that the construction of New Chang'an itself is a product of a highly developed civilization, and the wisdom contained in it is the crystallization of Chinese ancestors for thousands of years.

By the time Liu Yizhen drew the design sketch according to the "Chang'an Map" in his memory, he was almost exhausted.

He looked at this blueprint with a little embarrassment.

How should I explain this to Wang Xiu and the others?
Buddhist scriptures and numbers can be said to have been obtained from Tianzhu. This "new Chang'an architectural pattern" is the result of the native Chinese civilization.

If Liu Yi really dared to say that he did it independently, he would hardly be able to come up with a reason to convince everyone other than falsely claiming that "immortals entrusted dreams".

But Liu Yi really didn't want to engage in superstition, which was completely opposite to his goal.

"correct!"

Liu Yi really thought of someone.

Wang Maide.

He had witnessed the construction of Tongwan City in Huxia, so it would be no problem to think about innovation and build a new Chang'an, right?

Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to figure out how to build a super big city?
This was the best solution Liu Yi could really think of.

In other words, it was a reason that was barely accepted by everyone. As for whether anyone would doubt it, Liu Yizhen couldn't care about it.

Immediately, Liu Yizhen brought Wang Maide over.

"The guilty minister has seen Duke Chang'an."

Since Wang Maide returned to Guanzhong, he has kept a low profile and lived in an ordinary house in Chang'an. Except for Liu Yizhen, probably no one remembers such a person.

"How's your stay these days?"

Listening to Liu Yizhen's inquiry, Wang Maide's face was full of disappointment.

"My wife remarried, and my neighbors were lost. Now I am wandering in this level like a lonely ghost."

It has been nearly seven years since Wang Maide left Guanzhong, and the past seven years have already changed.

In addition, Wang Maide has no heirs, and the helpless loneliness is as uncomfortable as a haunted ghost.

Seeing Wang Maide's appearance, Liu Yizhen only felt a little sympathy in his heart, and then comforted Wang Maide.

"Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? Since you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, you should revive your spirit."

Then, Liu Yizhen put the "Chang'an Map" he drew in front of Wang Maide.

Wang Maide looked at this magnificent city that still existed in his imagination, and was actually addicted to it.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Yizhen in great surprise: "The construction of this city is incomparably exquisite, may I ask who is the master of Chang'an?"

Wang Maide previously felt that Tongwan City was a famous city second to none, but compared to the new Chang'an in front of him, it was nothing!

Liu Yizhen smiled and said, "Of course this picture was drawn by you."

Wang Maide froze in place.

"You have experience in the construction of Tongwan City, and you are good at civil engineering. Now that you hear that a new Chang'an is going to be built, it took a long time to draw this picture, isn't it?"

Wang Maide's first reaction——

Did the pie fall from the sky?

Second reaction——

Is Liu Yizhen joking?

But seeing Liu Yizhen's serious face, Wang Maide didn't feel that Liu Yizhen was playing tricks on him.

Wang Maide's breathing became heavy immediately.

Why did Liu Yizhen let him do this great work?

who cares!
Wang Maide, a Han Chinese, was able to get involved with Prime Minister Hu Xia in history. He knows what he should know, and don't ask if he doesn't know!
Liu Yizhen handed over the credit for the new Chang'an plan to Wang Maide, which meant that Wang Maide had the capital to start in the Eastern Jin court.

Otherwise, he was a Han who had served the Hu people, and he didn't have any family power, so he wouldn't even try to get away with it in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

So at this moment, the "Chang'an Map" is no longer a blueprint for the new Chang'an, but a stepping stone for Wang Maide's career, and also the key to Wang Maide's new life.

Wang Maide took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Liu Yizhen.

"The Duke of Chang'an is kind to Mai De for rebuilding! Mai De will certainly not let down the Duke of Chang'an!"
