    Wanting people to understand things at once is actually, to put it bluntly, nothing more than making people gain.

    The gentry have benefited, and now they have to cut their flesh. No matter how painful it is, at least they won't turn the table over and fall out with you.

    What's more, in Dingxing County, many idle people have begun to appear recently. These people who have been raised have good ears and eyes.

    Whoever hid something or did not pay taxes on any transaction would be placed on Ouyang Zhi¡¯s desk the next day.

    Of course, Ouyang Zhi is the county magistrate and an accomplished official. He will definitely not associate with these messy people.

    For some unscrupulous people, Ouyang Zhi often invites them to come to the county government office to have a talk. Everyone sits together, drinks a cup of tea happily, and then throws the things out and sees for yourself.  Tax evasion is too cruel.

    The other party was immediately dumbfounded, said nothing more, and paid the tax obediently. From then on, they lived in peace with each other.

    In order to recover taxes, many problems have arisen. Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of if there are problems, as long as you work out methods to solve them.

    Tax calculation is a very troublesome matter.

    Because there is no room for carelessness.

    Especially the taxes in Dingxing County are real and do not rely on rough means such as apportionment. Therefore, every tax cent must be calculated clearly, and there is no room for error.

    To this end, Ouyang Zhi even called several people from Xishan School of Arithmetic.

    They began to formulate several formulas and at the same time improved the accounting algorithm.

    Ouyang Zhi has not had a good sleep for many days in a row.

    Countless amounts of silver began to be put into the treasury.

    Because of the implementation of the One Whip Law, grain tax and physical tax were directly eliminated.  This kind of tax has always been levied in this way, but now it is directly a money tax, which is much easier and simpler.

    It¡¯s late at night.

    I can't see my fingers outside.

    Ouyang Zhi looked tired and his eyes were already red.

    He was still flipping through various books repeatedly.

    Judging from the yellow register of households, in the past year or so, Dingxing County has added more than 78,000 new household registrations. This is an extremely terrifying number. Nearly 80,000 households, that is, a population of more than 200,000.

    And there are 137 newly added workshops.

    The number of merchants increased by more than 900, and therefore, there were more than 600 new shops.

    Not only that, in order to solve the housing problem in Dingxing County, Xishan Construction has started construction on several construction sites in the north of the city. The housing prices are not expensive. Compared with the housing prices in Jingshi New City, they are only 10%, but even 10%, the profit is considerable.

    In addition, Dingxing County¡¯s agriculturehas actuallyincreased!

    This is what makes Ouyang Zhi most gratified

    The reason turned out to be that after the road was built, the demand for food in the new city was huge. In other places, the roads were impassable and the transportation costs were extremely high. Dingxing County became the main supplier of food to the new city. After the price of food rose, although a large amount of land,  It has become a workshop and a residence, but because of the high price, many people have become active in growing food. As long as something can be exchanged for money, there is no fear that no one will be active.

    With the emergence of new crops and the fact that many gentry had no motivation to grow food because of the plummeting local food prices, Dingxing County's food production actually continued to rise.

    Even a small piece of wasteland, which had no planting value in the past, has now been turned into a vegetable garden. People are using every inch of land in every possible way, and because it is connected to the new city, there are many ways to increase food production.  It has also been widely promoted and applied here.

    You must know that not every place is willing to accept the cultivation method of the farm.

    For example, purchasing better grain seeds for farming can increase the harvest by 10%.

    Doesn¡¯t this food cost money?  Why buy it?  And it only increases by 10%, so why waste this effort.

    There is also the fertilization method of precision farming in the field, which seems to be able to increase the yield, but so what, it is too troublesome.

    But in Dingxing County, there is no need to worry about trouble. The increase in production means that after harvesting the excess grain, it can be immediately converted into money. A large number of grain merchants are waiting in line there. Who will have trouble with the money?

    After watching it all night, the results were outstanding.

    Ouyang Zhi circled some data. These data are doubtful. At that time, the guards below will have to verify them again to see if the calculation is wrong, or if the guards made any oversights during the statistics.  .

    At this time, the sky was getting brighter.

    He raised his eyes and welcomed the newAt dawn one day, I yawned, undressed, and waited for a clerk. The clerk saw the county magistrate and stayed up all night. He couldn't help but said: "Why are you doing this? What's the matter that can't be dealt with in the daytime?"  "

    Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, knocked on the paperwork, and said noncommittally: "You can tidy up later and tell the next person to take care of the designated area. I will go and take a nap for two hours."

    He always has an indifferent attitude, which is intimidating.

    The scribe smiled bitterly: "Yes."

    ¡°As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up the scattered official documents on the slips.

    For this county magistrate, he admired him very much. If nothing else, he did everything personally. Don't try to hide anything from him. Even if he didn't say anything about the big and small things in the county, once it was needed, he would do it.  He can blurt out things instantly and understand better than those in the know.

    This made no one in the county dare to deal with him.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although he usually has a stern face, he is still kind to the officials below him.

    With such a person, even if you think he is troublesome, nagging, and always forcing you to do things, in your heart you are convinced and have no temper at all towards him.

    "Your Majesty, I heard that Liu County Cheng is saying strange things behind his back again."

    Liu Xiancheng is the assistant official of the county. He, the chief bookkeeper, and the clerk are all Ouyang Zhi's deputies.

    But as soon as they heard that Ouyang Zhi was going to implement the new law here, they all became dizzy or their brains were hot, and they refused to do anything, fearing that the county official would drag them down.

    Occasionally, Ouyang Zhi simply kicked them away and did everything by himself.

    But now it's better. The new policy seems to be working well. Several assistant officials seem to be interested in making a difference in the county, but they find that they have been idle. Ouyang Zhi has not arranged specific tasks for them. Liu County Cheng and others are a little dumbfounded.  , all of a sudden, he became the breadwinner of the county.

    They are naturally indispensable and want to express a few complaints.

    "Oh." Ouyang Zhi had no expression on this.

    "They said that this new policy will definitely fail, and when the time comes, everyone will follow suit and bring bad luck to you." The clerk looked unhappy.

    Ouyang Zhi was silent.

    The scribe thought the county official was angry.

    Ouyang Zhi said calmly: "Be yourself."

    "Yes Yes."

    Ouyang Zhi was about to return to the mansion, but at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside: "Envoy, envoy, the calculation is out, the calculation is out."

    The one who came was Zhang Wenchen, the household secretary. Zhang Wenchen was very happy: "The household has roughly calculated this year's taxes. Take a look."

    Ouyang Zhi took the official document, opened it, and was suddenly shocked

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Although he is quite confident about his annual income, this amount is too terrifying.

    Ouyang Zhi frowned: "Have you done the calculation?"

    "I have calculated it several times and found that the tax money that was put into the treasury has been paid. I dare not say that there is no difference at all, but at least it is close to ten. Now, the inventory is still being re-counted in the treasury."

    Ouyang Zhi immediately cheered up, his bloodshot eyes seemed to be shining with light. After a short silence, he said: "Don't reveal it yet. We have to count it again. After counting, I will report it immediately to report the merits to everyone!"

    Zhang Wen, the housekeeper of this household, is beaming. He has always known who in this county has contributed a lot to make the emperor's heart as clear as a mirror. He has been busy for so many days, and this time, the amount of taxes collected is actually so.  The magnitude is completely beyond imagination. If this is a great achievement, I will also have a share in this merit book.

    He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the student will go now to reassure you, but please don't worry."

    Ouyang Zhi was stunned. After a long time, he sighed: "It's not easy, it's not easy"
