"I'll give you a pair of braces. Wear them when you sleep at night for ten days to half a month. We'll see how it goes first."
Before dinner, Li Yi checked Bi Goo's loosened tooth. There was no big problem. He just needed to fix it when he slept at night.
"I don't wear it during the day?" Bi Goo was happy when he heard that he didn't need to pull out his tooth.
"It's transparent. You can wear it during the day. Take it off when you eat. Wash it often. "Li Yi nodded.
"We've collected all the rent this year. It's about 9.6 million yuan in cash. The main reason is that the price of food has decreased."
Bi Goo got the braces. On the way to the cafeteria, he told Li Yi about the income of the imperial court.
The income from rent and transfer added up to 9.6 million yuan, slightly more than last year.
Due to the decrease in the price of food, it didn't seem like a lot.
"The tax should be more." Li Yi thought about how much money he contributed to the Ministry of Revenue in Zhuangzi.
"The business tax adds up to 10.13 million yuan. There are still a few days before the New Year. The price of vegetables in greenhouses is high during the New Year. It's estimated that we can collect 11 million yuan."
Speaking of the business tax, Bi Goo looked very happy. The business tax of the imperial court was actually higher than the rent of the entire Tang dynasty.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Bi Goo carried his own tray to choose the dishes.
Li Yi asked the kitchen to make a portion of fried noodles. He added a pile of meat and vegetables, added more aged vinegar and chili oil, and added a bowl of soup.
"Next year, the Henan Prefectural Court will be in good condition. If we add in the business tax, do you think it will exceed 20 million yuan?"
Bi Gou took a bite of the fried bean worm and calculated the taxes for next year.
He loved to eat worms, especially fried ones.
Li Yi glanced at the worm, "There's a lot of food now. The imperial court should store more. Also, encourage the people to plant and raise medicine. The toad's crackers can be used to anesthetize. "
Bi Goo ate the entire worm, "If you can eat, you want to live a better life. You really need to improve your medical skills. The Imperial Medical Department needs to continue recruiting people, and the local students …"
Bi Goo stopped talking about the students. He wanted the students to study medicine well. The local government specialized in medical classes, and the students did not like to study, unless it was to take the imperial medical exam.
"Bonus points. The medical books have already been distributed. If students do well in the medical exams, they will be given preferential treatment when they take the imperial examinations in Chang 'an.
For example, if he answered three questions incorrectly, he would not be able to get into B-grade. However, if he did well in the medical exam, he would be able to get into B-grade.
If he answered a question incorrectly, he wouldn't be able to enter the A grade. If he was good at medicine, he would be able to enter the A grade. Using another subject to exchange for a position in the imperial examination. "
Li Yi came up with an idea. There were too few doctors in the Tang dynasty. Outside of the Imperial Physician Department, most of the doctors were taught by their families, taught by themselves, or looked for a master.
It was the hardest to find a master. A master would make all kinds of tests and nurture them from young.
The Imperial Medical Department was better, and the local government academies also gave him a chance.
However, those who could enter government schools would consider becoming government officials instead of doctors.
They thought that if they became government officials, they would be able to help more people, and if they became doctors, they would not be able to treat many people.
The thinking of a great doctor was to treat the country.
"I think that many doctors will be able to come out from the Jing Governor's office. They are literate, but it will take many years."
Bi Goo thought about the number of years it would take to train a doctor, and he felt helpless.
"The fastest is three years. Shorten the time to two years. For the time being, I can see the common symptoms, the obvious ones, and then prescribe medicine."
Li Yi did not have a good idea about this. Relying on looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse to treat patients was too demanding.
Under normal circumstances, it was just a cold or a fever. He would take a look and then prescribe medicine. As long as he did not use toxic medicine, he would not die from taking medicine.
"The Ministry of Revenue will pay for the collapsed houses in the other provinces because of the snow disaster? If there are floods and droughts in other places, it will not be easy for the Ministry of Revenue to check. "
Bi Goo ate a few more mouthfuls of food and talked about the snow disaster.
The Ministry of Revenue had money. He wanted to give it to the people, but he was worried that it would not be easy to check after the disaster in distant places.
"The imperial court will buy the materials to repair the houses and lend a sum of money to the people. There will be no interest and the money will be repaid over years. The people will use the borrowed money to find people to build houses.
It will not be possible this year. They will continue to live in tents. The imperial court will provide coal. It will be easier to build houses when the snow melts next year.
If it is just to repair the houses, the imperial court will pay for it. It will not cost much. "
Li Yi came up with the idea to take care of all the houses in the Jing Governor's office. This was because the people in the Jing Governor's office had to bear the price of goods after taxes.
He also abolished the mediocrity. This was considered a contribution to the tax collection.
The provinces outside had not started to collect taxes, so the people had to think of their own ways.
If there were beams in the collapsed houses, they could be cleaned up and used for new houses.
If the houses were made of mud and grass, they could be rebuilt if they collapsed.
"The people outside still live in shacks. If they collapse, they can live in tents. It is better than shacks." Bi Goo began to feel sorry for the people again.
In Chang 'an City, the houses that were not in good condition had been rebuilt.
Then there was the situation in the counties. He had not been there before, but it should be good.
But there were some places where the people used grass curtains to build shacks and lived in them.
It did not matter in summer, but people would freeze to death in winter.
Li Yi lowered his head and ate his fried noodles. He was thinking about what to do.
At that time, not everyone had their own house. There were many families who did not have a house and rented a house.
The key was that they could rent a house. The people who lived in shacks did not have the money to rent other people's houses.
It was useless to build low-rent houses for them. They did not have the money.
They could only provide subsistence allowances. Subsistence allowances were the same as giving out food. In theory, the local government would give them subsistence allowances. But in reality, it was not clear whether they would give them subsistence allowances.
There were also charity warehouses, which were different from Chang Ping Warehouse. Those who were rich would usually provide food for those who did not have enough to eat.
"When the taxes are collected, we can use the tax money to help. The main problem is job opportunities. The people who live in the inhabited areas have jobs. They do not have to pay anything if they do not have land.
The people in other areas have lost their land. If they do not pay, they will be considered as runaways. Also, if they fall sick for many years, their families will be dragged down. "
Li Yi could not think of a good solution at the moment. He could not use his own money to support everyone.
This winter, many people came to live outside the inhabited areas. They lived next to the captives.
Because their identities were not clear, they were not allowed to cross the bridge for the time being.
When these people arrived, they first re-registered. Some of them brought their household registration. They directly explained the situation. They lost their land and came to find a way to make a living.
In the past, if they were caught, they would be punished. They would be beaten with a plank or exiled, unless they brought a public inspection.
But when they arrived at the Li Family Zhuangzi, it was fine. He quickly went through the procedures. In the future, he could live there for a long time. He would also be assigned a job.
"You, Zhuangzi, have too much power. You should restrain yourself. I also support you to take back your power." Bi Goo was also waiting for the tax collection to be carried out. Then, the entire Tang dynasty would be cleared of land.
When they were almost done eating and ready to leave, he advised Li Yi.
Li Yi shrugged. "How do I collect it? Don't let me pass a note to Her Majesty? Move the workshop away and send someone to take care of it? "
"You can ask for permission from the imperial court before you do anything. You can only do it after the imperial court approves." Bi Goo thought of a solution.
"Sir, I want to drink water." Li Yi blinked.
