The Imperial Study.
Li Shimin was discussing a piece of the crown prince with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
At the same time, the court officials and soldiers of the forbidden army will also stop issuing food and cloth, and only pay money.
Two Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
At the beginning of the new year, Li Shimin's whole person was full of energy again.
The situation inside and outside the court is good, and now Li Shimin feels that the emperor is unprecedentedly comfortable, the Turks have perished, the emperor has also died, and no vassal country around him dares to fight with the Tang Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, there is no more door valve family who dares to play a temper with him.
Those old valves have almost been swept away, and the rest are already honest.
Even the Kwantung clan, who used to be extremely high, are now all holding their tails and becoming people.
The authority of the emperor is nothing more than that.
After the Great Purge, no one dared to disobey Li Shimin's will, not to mention that Li Shimin also made a big windfall after the Great Purge.
The eldest grandson queen is pregnant again, and Li Shimin feels that he has reached the peak of his life.
Fang Xuanling also feels that life has been much better recently, mainly because the court is rich now.
When the court is rich, of course the prime minister will be the prime minister.
"Your Majesty, judging from this year's tax situation, the two taxes are far inferior to the industrial and commercial mining tax, as well as the monopoly tax and customs duties.
The Ministry of Household expects that next year's total fiscal revenue of the imperial court will be 80 million yuan, of which two taxes will be converted into 30 million yuan. ” Li Shimin thought about it, the two taxes are to stay in the state, so only about 10 million of the 30 million yuan will be paid to the central government.
Moreover, in the industrial and commercial tax, there are also some taxes to be withheld by the local government, so in addition to the local withheld fiscal tax of about 30 million yuan, the central court can still have 50 million inputs.
This is only next year's income, in fact, the imperial court still has a lot of confiscated money and land.
The imperial court is indeed not short of money.
"Your Majesty, the minister has carefully read the prince's recital.
The prince asked for the suspension of the two taxes in kind, and changed to the full collection of money.
Then the imperial court stopped issuing the officials and soldiers in kind, and all the money was issued.
In addition, the imperial court set up a grain bureau to purchase grain from all parts of the world. ” The unified purchase of grain is another important content in the prince's performance.
If the imperial court no longer collects grain in kind, and does not send goods to officials and soldiers, it will definitely cause people to worry, that is, whether they can buy grain in the future, and whether the price will be reasonable After all, the imperial court used to directly distribute grain, and it was not only rations, but according to grades, senior officials issued Lu rice twice a year, but the rice sent once was enough for a family to eat dozens or hundreds of mouthfuls for several years, so most of the Lu rice they got was finally sold to grain stores in the capital.
In the past, the officials in Beijing were basically all Lu rice, and there were very few officials, and a lot of silk cotton cloth would be distributed during the New Year's holidays.
In fact, the officials could not eat all the rice they received, so they eventually had to sell it or open their own grain stores.
And if you sell it, this one in and one out, in fact, there will definitely be some losses.
For the imperial court, the distribution of rice to officials instead of money is because the taxes collected by the imperial court in the past are in kind, and of course it is more convenient to send them in kind.
Second, there is a shortage of money, and the imperial court does not have so much money to use for discounts.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court has always given the officials Lu rice, and the money is very small.
But Fa Lu rice, judging from the current facts, is not very cost-effective.
Because transporting bad grain into Beijing is a big expense.
It is time-consuming, laborious and costly, and the loss is large, and it is very easy to be embezzled.
But if the money is paid directly to the officials and soldiers, there is another concern.
That is, after all, food can not only be used for money, but it is also an important living material.
"Xuan Ling, if I don't send you Lu rice in the future, but give you all the money instead, are you willing?"
asked Li Shimin.
Fang Xuanling smiled, "Of course the minister is willing to take the money." ” Fang Xuanling is the second rank of the Chinese book order, but at the same time he is the first rank of the loose rank, and he is also the second rank of the national prince.
His current salary, according to the system of the imperial court, is that no matter how many positions he holds, he only pays according to the rank.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling actually gets his salary according to one product.
As the prime minister of the first rank of the official, his annual salary is 80 and 600 yuan.
And Lu rice is 650 stone per year.
Of course, he also has vocational land, and as a product, he owns 1,200 acres of vocational land.
This 1,200 mu actually does not need to be cultivated by the Fang family, but the government directly leases it to the nearby people to undertake the planting, and then they pay rent to the government, and the court then gives the Fang family grain at the rent rate.
In addition, Fang Xuanling also enjoys the servants drawn at the public expense of the imperial court, and as a product, he can have a lot of servants.
Of course, these servants can also be directly discounted by the imperial court to the Fang family according to the number of people, and then the Fang family hires it themselves.

And this money is actually not paid by the court itself, and those servants are also considered a kind of service, so they have to pay for it.
In addition, officials also have a lot of in-kind treatment.
For example, a three-grade Beijing official, 400 stone of rice per year, 900 acres of professional land, and 38 miscellaneous servants.
Nine plates of fine rice are served every day, two liters of rice, eight pieces of japonica rice, two liters of noodles, one and a half liters of wine, four points of mutton, four points of sauce, four pieces of vinegar, three melons, salt, soybean, green onions, ginger, sunflowers, leeks and the like; Wooden sleigh, two equinoxes in spring, three cents and five cents in winter; charcoal, three catties in spring, and five catties in winter, which is about 8,000 wen per month; You can also enjoy free working meals every day, and five horses of silk are given on New Year's Day and winter every year, including gold and silverware, and miscellaneous colors.
In short, the treatment of officials is still good, especially the Beijing officials.
Although, calculated up, the income of Tang Dynasty officials is actually only one month a year in the Song Dynasty.
But it's still good, being a Beijing official, especially if you are above the third grade, it really doesn't count other income, and you can make a fortune just by being a good man.
Fang Xuanling's rice alone is 650 stone a year, which is still rice.
Naturally, his family couldn't eat it, so the Fang family also had a grain store, which sold the Lu rice that his family received.
On the contrary, the money is very small, only 80 yuan a year, and 600 yuan.
This year's rice is not worth much, Hanjing bucket rice is only 20 yuan, and five stone rice is worth consistently.
Fang Xuanling's annual Lu rice is 650 stones, which is only 130 yuan, plus his Lu, it is only 210 yuan a year, and it is always 600 yuan, plus other physical goods, miscellaneous labor, etc., Fang Xuanling's legitimate income is less than 300 yuan a year.
Fortunately, he still has 1,200 acres of professional land, and he also has a knighthood of Xuntian, as well as a fiefdom of actual seals.
And this is actually a small part of the Fang family's income, and the majority of the Fang family's income is still doing business.
The Fang family's fields, workshops, shops, caravans, and even invested money to buy and sell with Li Chao.
These are the big heads, although the Fang family is far less profitable than the Li family, but they make money casually every year.
Therefore, in fact, Fang Xuanling really doesn't care too much, that little bit of money. t1706231537:
