In the summer of the first year of Yanhe, Xinwei (22).

On the third day after the off-road weight-bearing test, the interview process for the Xinfeng Public Examination officially began.

Standing in the official hall, Zhang Yue looked down at the archives of all the scholars involved in the interview.

After the written test and off-road load-bearing screening, there are still a few people who can enter the interview process.

There are almost six hundred people!

The officials in Xinfeng County actually need to be supplemented, even if the gap in the town pavilion is included, there are only a hundred people at most!

Even if the number of people who may be eliminated in military training is included, the interview can only cost about 150 people at most.

No matter how many, the people of Xinfeng may not be able to afford it.

After all, the Han Dynasty system, the salaries of local officials, especially grassroots officials, were actually distributed to the tax and tax calculation.

In other words, the salaries of local officials are borne by the people.

Although Han Lu is actually very humble.

Zhang Yue calculated the calculation that the average monthly salary of Xinfeng officials (excluding temporary workers without staff) is about 600 yuan, and adding 100 new officials means that an additional monthly expenditure of 60,000 yuan is required.

If they are spread to the 11,000 households in Xinfeng, they need to increase their burden by at least five cents a month, which is sixty cents a year!

Don't underestimate this sixty money.

When Zi Zi issued an edict to increase the levy and levy, ordering the people to pay from the age of seven, each person a year, and another three cents of horse levy, which is 23 cents.

It seemed very slight, but it immediately accelerated the speed of bankruptcy of the people.

Because for the farmers at the bottom, not to mention twenty-three cents, even if the burden of just one cent increases, it may quickly crush a family and destroy all the plans and expectations of a man for the future.

Because, in fact, the income of the people on the land is not enough to support their families.

Even a self-cultivated farmer class with 100 acres of land, according to the ideal situation.

For later generations, this may be a bit difficult to understand.

But in fact, just by thinking about the rural families in the 1980s and 1990s, you can probably know the reason.

Even in that era, the main source of income for farmers was not land, but odd jobs and servants.

In addition to paying taxes and public grains, the rest of the grains produced by the land is for self-use as food.

At that time, a child had a tuition fee of up to 200 yuan a year, but many families still borrowed money everywhere during the school season.

This is even the case in later rural areas.

Farmers before the BC did not have much chance of doing odd jobs, and the price of helping the commission was very low.

In fact, most of the income of a peasant family in a year is the money earned by their wife and children, who work hard to raise silkworms, weave silk, and mow grass and cut off their wages.

Therefore, women had a high status in the Han Dynasty.

At least higher than any feudal dynasty.

Han women have the right to inherit property and enjoy a certain degree of marital autonomy.

The famous story, Wenjun ran away at night, proves this very well, Zhuo Wenjun bravely elopes with Sima Xiangru for love, and then the two were happily together...

His father, Prince Zhuo, had no choice but to do anything even if his family was rich and had thousands of slaves.

Although this is just an isolated case, it also shows that the status of women in the Han Dynasty was actually very high.

Moreover, the higher the social class, the greater the status and power.

Like the old Liu family, you have produced countless princesses who can be called feminist leaders even in later generations.

But how much does ordinary farmers’ families earn from raising silkworms and weaving silk, planting mulberry trees and hemp?

No more than four thousand coins at most!

This is what Zhang Yue and Liu Jin learned about the highest income of the farmer who was visiting Dongyu Society and Xinfeng Township. In addition to raising silkworms and weaving cloth, he also raised chickens and ducks very well, and dug a small pond at the doorstep to raise fish and shrimps.

Even if his wife is so capable, she will only earn 4,000 yuan in a year when selling silk, eggs, ducks, and fish and shrimps.

It is precisely because of such a capable wife that this family has a pretty good life.

But it's just food and clothing.

If the burden of 60 yuan per household is suddenly increased, Zhang Yue suspected that next year, there would definitely be a large wave of bankrupt farmers in the town hall in Xinfeng.

Therefore, Zhang Yue has been thinking of ways and making excuses recently, intending to spend the future salary of Xinfeng officials, including the clerks who fight food, on commercial taxes, especially industrial and commercial taxes.

Using Liu Jin as a guise, he played with stealing dragons and turning phoenixes.

But after all, this plan has not been implemented yet. Even if this plan is implemented, the current tax revenue of Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial cannot afford the operation of such a large bureaucratic system.

Therefore, the size of this official must be limited.

"It's hard to be the head..." Zhang Yue sighed, looking at the list in his hand, feeling a little melancholy.

At present, with Xinfeng's current fiscal revenue and the burden on the people, it is obviously impossible to support the huge bureaucratic system.

But his plan requires him to have a huge bureaucratic system to implement.

"Try to find a way to open source!" Zhang Yue thought with his cheek in his arms.

For the time being, he doesn't need to worry about these foods, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Because, in the county government's official warehouse, there is now a wealth of three thousand gold.

In the future, a huge sum of 80 million yuan will be received!

In a short period of time, Xinfeng's finances are still very abundant.

It was enough for him to build a large number of buildings and increase officials.

But, it will be over sooner or later.

He must find a way to build a profitable industry!

Zhang Yue has countless ways to make money in his mind.

Such as glass, soap, dew, and even mosquito repellent coils, you can make money by taking them out.

But the problem is that there are no craftsmen, and there is no technical accumulation.

If you want to create these industries from scratch and make profits, you won’t even think about it for three to five years.

And he lacks time now.

"What makes money the fastest and doesn't require any technical accumulation?" Zhang Yue was thinking in his mind, his brain started to work hard, searching all the keywords that were traced back.

Suddenly, a word was frozen in my mind.

Then, countless related web pages, news reports and historical records emerged.

"It's you!" Zhang Yue laughed.

He picked up his pen and wrote the next word on the bamboo slip on the table: Soybeans!

Then, he laughed.

In this technological desert era in BC, the situation of soybeans was extremely embarrassing.

First of all, all beans, including mung beans and red beans, are like this.

Because of the backwardness of cooking technology and other related technologies, beans have extremely poor taste and are prone to bloating in the stomach and causing constipation.

People can be said to be avoiding them.

Even though Liu An, the King of Huainan, invented tofu, soybeans were finally developed and utilized.

But, who is Liu An?

Today, I am the traitor appointed by Zi Qin!

The tofu invented by the thief will naturally not be promoted by the government.

As for another type of beans, oil is used.

No one knows, and no one tries to try.
