It was already dark, and the lights were still on in a study room in the backyard of the Supervisor's Mansion.

After ending the day and social events today, Yan Liqiang sat in the study and looked at the ditto, land, silver, grain, tax, armies, and official account books that Wang Jianbei left to him.

That was the family’s foundation of Qi Yun County. As Qi Yun’s supervisor, Yan Liqiang’s first thing to do when he took office was to understand his own family’s foundation first.

I don’t know how long I looked, Yan Liqiang sat on the chair and stretched his waist. He felt a little thirsty. He took the tea cup next to the table and took a sip. He found that the tea in the tea cup was completely cold. Hu Haihe had changed him to hot tea several times before, and Yan Liqiang forgot to drink it. When he really wanted to drink it, there was already a cool air in the night in the tea.

"Ah, sir, I'll make a pot of hot tea for you..." Yan Liqiang's voice suddenly woke Hu Haihe who was still guarding the door of the study. Hu Haihe came over and hurriedly wanted to exchange hot tea for Yan Liqiang.

"No need, I'm not that expensive, this herbal tea is quite thirsty!" Yan Liqiang drank the water in the teacup in one breath, then put down the teacup and waved his hand to Hu Haihe, "By the way, what time is it now?"

"Midnight has passed!"

"It's okay tonight, go to bed, I'll watch it for a while!"

"How can I sleep first if the adults don't sleep? Do adults want midnight snacks? I'll let the kitchen do some?"

"It's late, don't bother others anymore. I'm not hungry!"

Hu Haihe shook his head, then took Yan Liqiang's tea cup and went to heat Yan Liqiang's tea.

Looking at Hu Haihe's back, Yan Liqiang shook his head and smiled, not saying anything more.

The cold tea has a special and slightly astringent feeling in the mouth. This taste suddenly reminds Yan Liqiang of the days when he worked overtime in the company and made bids overnight in his previous life. I remember when he brought several subordinates to make bids in his previous life, it was the same. He buried his head under the desk under the desk lamp at night, drank the cold tea, and when he was hungry, he would make a pack of instant noodles. Sometimes there was no water, and a few people would directly sprinkle the dry ingredients on the instant noodles and eat them directly!

I don’t know the friends I met in my previous life know what I am now, what their expressions would be. If I can go back in this way, it would be easy to make money as an athlete. All kinds of records will be broken. I guess I will have to get the medals. I will be a track and field athlete first, and I can also jump high, lift weights, shoot archery, swim, and then be a boxer. Hahaha... Thinking about the things in my previous life, Yan Liqiang made a little bit of excitement, and then came to his senses and continued to look through the books and books in his hand seriously.

The more you read those dictionary books, the various data from the entire Qiyun County gradually settled in Yan Liqiang's mind, allowing Yan Liqiang to slowly grasp the overall situation of the entire county.

Qiyun County has an area of ​​about 35,000 square kilometers and a population of about 2.47 million. In addition to Pingxi City, it also has 14 counties and 158 towns (including all kinds of villages and towns). In addition to the soldiers at all levels in the county, there are 1,184 officials, officials, soldiers, inheritors, and scholars at all levels who eat public meals. There are now 7 battalions of officers and soldiers in the county, with a total of 21,877 people...

I have to say that Wang Jianbei still gave Yan Liqiang face. Generally speaking, if officials like this are handed over and transferred, the county's silver treasury and grain warehouses would almost leave any money and grain. However, in those accounts, Yan Liqiang also saw that Wang Jianbei left him more than 170,000 taels of silver, and the various grains in the county's official warehouse were also 250,000 shi.

What surprised Yan Liqiang the most was that in the Hyogo of the Governor's Office, there were enough arrows, swords, guns and equipment, which could arm the 70,000 army. This was a bit beyond Yan Liqiang's expectations. After carefully looking at the book and account books, Yan Liqiang discovered that the reason why there was extremely sufficient military equipment in the Hyogo of Qiyun County was due to Wei Wuji who had been taken down before. Although the plan of the Han Empire to expedition to the Gulang Grassland in the west was terminated and miscarriage was aborted, before the army went on the expedition, the court and the Transportation Office allocated a large amount of military funds from all over the northwest to supplement the military funds in Pingxi County. As a supplement and reserve for the army, the army has now withdrawn, but the supplementary military funds have been kept and finally he has gained himself.

The data in the previous data were fine, and everything was clear at a glance. When Yan Liqiang saw the tax books and accounts of Qiyun County, he suddenly felt dizzy. The taxes of the Han Empire were of many kinds and diverse, which opened Yan Liqiang's eyes. If he thought that the so-called tax was to pay taxes, then he would imagine the world too simply.

In fact, in the official account books, taxes and taxes are completely separated, which is not the same thing at all. In fact, there is only one type of tax that the world refers to, is Dingkou tax, that is, the cap tax; Qiyun County is a border county, in which the tax refers to the materials of the people in the county that can be requisitioned for military activities and military purposes; property taxes paid on the unit of families are called adjustment; grains collected based on land and acres are called rent; military service and labor are collected; other temporary fiscal expenditures such as bridges and roads are called donations, and other special business industries, such as salt, iron, fishing, etc. are called courses; those that are set up at important checkpoints are called Li...

In my previous life, I just paid money. In this world, I paid taxes, and I collected everything from everything, including money, grain, labor, materials, and various kinds of things, which made people stunned...

Because the blacksmith shop affairs were always under the leadership of Yan Dechang and Zhou Tiezhu, Yan Liqiang did not care much about the operation of the blacksmith shop. Until he looked at the account books and documents in the county, he found out how much tax he and his son Yan Dechang had to pay from Yan Liqiang at the age of seven. His family runs blacksmith workshops and iron classes. The corvee service was his father who paid for the disaster and asked someone to bring them out. The land in his family also had to pay the land rent...

Not to mention these, the fuss is that in the Han Empire, the Han people had to pay capitation tax and various taxes, while foreign races such as the Seven Tribes of Shatu did not have to pay any taxes. The capitation tax was not paid, the land rent was not paid, and the corvee service was not available. Even the collection of Guanli and the like was difficult to collect because of the existence of the "Wai'en Order"...

Yan Liqiang vaguely felt that the taxes of the Han Empire were a big problem, and there were too many types, but there were a lot of things in front of him. Facing the mess in front of him, he wanted to change and didn't know where to start. Judging from those accounts and documents, even with these varied taxes, the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the entire Qiyun County was only barely surplus in the fifteenth year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, the fiscal surplus of the entire Qiyun County was less than 80,000 taels of silver, and most of the 80,000 taels of silver had to be paid...

Qiyun County is like this, and it is estimated that other counties are not much better. Although this stall is big, it is often from one state and one county, but when it comes to money, it really doesn’t have much money.

No wonder Qian Leisitong's eyes shine when she mentioned it. She was really scared of being poor.
