Chapter 957 - The Origin of the Sexagesimal System (Calling for a Monthly Pass)

Listening to the endless narration of Yuwen Festival, I nodded with satisfaction, Weinan County was a poor place in the past, and the annual tax income has never reached 20,000 yuan, which of course has several reasons, the first is the expansion of Weinan County's territory today, the population and land are several times that of before, and second, after I arrived here, I vigorously advocated commercial activities, and another point is that the tax is not levied according to the number of people, but the agricultural tax is levied according to the number of acres, although the starting point of the agricultural tax collection is slightly reduced, However, the main reason for the fact that the agricultural tax revenues of previous years were still exceeded, and the main reason was that the land of the large landlords was cleared again, so that they no longer only had to pay taxes according to the per capita as in the past, but had to pay taxes many times more than before.

In addition, in the past six months or so, Weinan has taken advantage of several emerging industries in coal mines, which has made Weinan's commercial tax grow by leaps and bounds. Therefore, it also made the common people and merchants and gentry in Weinan County pay their taxes, and there was no turmoil, which can be said to be quite smooth.

"This is really beyond the expectations of the lower officials. It's just that I don't know if the income from the autumn tax can be on par with the spring tax, if it can also reach this number, hehe, it can be offset by the tax income of a Shangzhou in my Datang. Cui Renshi said with joy on his face. All of you here, which one is happy? Even Li Qianyou, who has a hobby of a flat face, also squeezed out a rare smile: "Yes, the little Weinan implements the law of two taxes, and there is no need to do the act of killing chickens and taking eggs, and you can get 69,000 yuan in taxes after a spring tax, and the people are all reciting it, and no one complains, which is really eye-catching." ”

I smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not the ability of the official, but your hard work, more than half a year, to find out the number of acres of land in Weinan, otherwise, this spring tax, I'm afraid it has to be levied backwards, presumably you should also know that Weinan originally belonged to the fertile land in Guanzhong, and the number of acres of fields is not much worse than that of a Shangzhou in other provinces, why is the income so small in previous years?" ”

I glanced at the people present, and continued to take care of myself: "First, the government does not act, and second, the official gentry do not pay taxes, so these two items will at least make my Datang lose more than 10,000 yuan of income every year, not to mention that the commercial tax is not fixed, and the favor tax is the majority, and the officials are charged according to 20 taxes or 10 taxes, but they are reported according to 30 taxes, and the others are filled with private pockets. ”

------------------------------------------------ summed up the results, very good, but because of the repair of the roads in Weinan County last year, as well as the construction of new sewers, in addition to the east of the county, opened up a special agricultural products and commercial trade market, originally I also wanted to make a pedestrian street in Weinan to pretend to be a political achievement, but seeing such a small county, the population is only so small, the whole out, I am afraid that there is not even a ghost, we don't bother to do it.

Road construction, still to speed up, our Fangjia engineering team, is still active in the villages and villages of Weinan County, there are still roads, and strive to be able to at the end of this year, the main road of Weinan County yellow mud road to build a cement straight road, traffic, the development of traffic, the people of Weinan County in the hands of all kinds of vegetables can be sent to Chang'an, in order to sell in a timely manner, this is a long-term surname policy, must be implemented as soon as possible.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the palace maid's sister leaning on a chaise longue in the patio yawning boringly. "Yo, I said Sister Zhao'er, why are you so leisurely today?" I laughed at my palace maid. When the palace maid sister saw that it was me, she quickly sat up, stretched lazily, the devil's figure stretched the bulges of the whole body so attractively, and saw the pair of dazzling eagle eyes of this son, and glanced at me coquettishly: "The concubine body is not for the fifth sister to make trouble." ”

"What's the matter, what are our big scientists doing again?" I sat down next to the palace maid sister and reached out to hug her slender waist, well, the authentic Tang Dynasty wasp waist lady champion is none other than our palace maid sister.

The palace maid's sister showed a very coquettish expression: "Yes, our fifth sister got up this morning and went into the house over there, and she was in it all day, and the concubine didn't understand what she wanted, and the children were not around, and the concubine was bored, so she could only bask in the sun here." ”

"Really? Hehe, okay, okay, my good photos, don't complain, Liushuang is the surname, do things, just like a cow that wants to put its horns against the crack in the wall, no one can pull it, by her, save me all day asking me questions, last night for the husband but almost didn't sleep all night! "I rubbed my head with a headache.

The palace maid's sister laughed eating: "Yes, who let you mess with flowers and grass by yourself, it's no wonder to others." Soft fingers pressed lightly on my temples.

I closed my eyes and retorted, "Can this be blamed on the husband?" If the husband is really the one who is stained with flowers and grass, he would have let a few of your sisters sweep the floor and go out with sticks, can you still let my good photos massage me so intimately and consciously? ”

Sister palace maid tapped the tip of my nose with her finger: "Hmph, you can say this, the concubine can't compare to the mother-in-law's ......" Speaking of this, the palace maid sister couldn't help laughing, well, the old man's deeds of being afraid of his wife can be said to be known to the world, and even Uncle Li once used one sentence to evaluate my mother: "I am still afraid to see, let alone Yu Xuanling?" "It means that this Mrs. Fang can't even provoke me, the emperor, let alone my old man.

Well, however, I never felt embarrassed, but I felt very happy, to be very proud to have such a mother, and occasionally the mother-in-law also liked to talk about my mother's great achievements, and these beautiful girls seemed to regard my mother as their idol.

"Hehe, it's good to know, in the world, I'm afraid that only Aunt Wei can compare with my mother, well, let's go, let's take a look at Sister Liushuang and see what the hell she's doing today." I stood up and led the palace maid sister to the side room, and when I got to the door, I was really startled.

"What is this?" I'm standing outside the house, is it because my eyes are not good? Or maybe some time-traveler came to my house in Weinan to hang such a thing in order to scare my son? Fat, short, and thick body, there is a weight on the top of the balance that is specially used to weigh it.

"Junlang, you're back, come in quickly, I have a lot of questions for you." Liushuang changed into the robe she usually wore when she was engaged in scientific research, heard my voice outside the door, poked her head out of it, and waved at me. "You made this thing up?" I swallowed my saliva for a long time before I asked, well, it's a little ugly, but in order not to discourage the active surname of Drift Frost to make clocks, I decided not to evaluate this thing that I don't know what it is.

------------------------------------------------ "What's wrong?" What kind of problems did you encounter again? I took off the soft foot hood from my head, threw it aside, took the tea handed by the palace maid and drank it all. Sure enough, the palace maid sister glanced at Liushuang and gave me a helpless smile, well, whoever marries such a fanatical scientific researcher will feel a headache, but I am also extremely proud of her hard work.

On the low couch, there were several kinds of hourglasses and water leaks, large and small, and there were a lot of bits and pieces on the side, and Flowing Frost quickly told me what she had discovered. "Now the concubine has changed this rope to a length of twenty-one centimeters, as you suggested, but why do you require a unit of time to be swung sixty times, instead of fifty or a hundred?"

This one...... I can't laugh or cry, who let the future generations of our school conduct experimental classes, no student has ever asked me this kind of question, besides, the Tang Empire, there is no need to learn from the gringos, but, these sixty seconds are a minute of timing, it is indeed the most accurate timekeeping method obtained by fundamental science, this son is the future generation, and he can't go backwards, right? How can we use our traditional Chinese things to put him in, one, it seems that this son is more powerful than other people who have traveled through it, and second, let the scientists of more than a thousand years later marvel at how great the wisdom of the Chinese nation is, well, we have to think about it.

The flowing frost on the side waited for a long time to see that I was still sitting in place and looking at the freak wall clock hanging on the wall stupidly, and couldn't help but want to reach out to pat me, but fortunately, the palace maid sister saw the opportunity quickly, took her hand in time, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, don't worry, the husband is thinking about things, and the husband will definitely say it in a while." ”

Well, after thinking about it for a long time, I finally came to a conclusion, well, this son really deserves to be a master of quick wisdom, cleared his throat and turned around, and proudly showed two rows of white teeth at these two beautiful little ladies: "Presumably the two sisters know the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, right?" ”

The palace maid sister nodded first: "This naturally knows, the stem branch is literally equivalent to the trunk and branches and leaves. There is an explanation in Zhou Yi, the connection between the heaven and the stem is called the heavenly stem, and the connection between the earth and the branch is called the earthly branch, which together is called the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, referred to as the stem branch. ”
