Chapter 852: Paying Debts with Yourself
"Weichen sued the Ministry of Commerce Shangshu Ling Jing for bending the law for personal gain, and he should be severely punished." As soon as Wei Zheng's words came out, everyone in the hall was surprised.
Ling Jing is an orphan brought up by Liu Xuan, and his wife is also an orphan adopted by Liu Xuan, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has no relatives and no reason, to say that there is only a small family, the two sons and two daughters born to his wife and concubine are still young, and they are all studying.
Ling Jing is the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, what reason does he have for bending the law for personal gain?
The key is that he is not short of money, in addition to the real position of Shangshu, as well as the fictitious position, there is also the dividend of the supply and marketing cooperative, in Yang Tong's words, it is called shares.
This is also Yang Tong's compensation to these 'founding fathers', he knows that privileges exist in any social system, this is the inevitable product of any society, since these lords have an identity, it is human nature to want to have a privilege, Yang Tong is not inflexible, as mentioned above, the Juntian system is the foundation of the Great Sui, no one can touch it, Yang Tong can give convenience to the lords from other aspects, but on the land issue, no one can touch it.
At present, the two constitute a system of supply and marketing cooperatives, which are quite large multinational enterprises, and are parallel to the departments that specialize in collecting business taxes.
The system of supply and marketing cooperatives excludes costs and taxes every year, forty percent of the income belongs to the state treasury, and the remaining sixty percent of the income, Yang Tong accounts for forty percent, and the other two percent are divided into 2,000 shares, of which 1,000 shares are distributed to these founding fathers according to the size of their merits, and the other 1,000 shares are still in the hands of Yang Tong, which is intended to be used as a reward in the future.
He knew one thing very well, and that was that if you wanted a horse to run, you had to give it grass! For example, in the past life, many companies liked to talk about wolf culture. The result? I want to make my employees as fierce as wolves, but I give them grass... And it's still a weed, and employees can be fierce and loyal! Except for a few people who eat and wait for death, most of them are thinking that you are good to me, and I am good to you. If your company has a good atmosphere, a good system, a fair promotion system, and high salary...... How many people don't work hard? How many people are disloyal?
It is precisely in the spirit of benefit-sharing that everyone is given shares, and the purpose of this is twofold: one is to let these lords who are messing with him with their heads have income, and compensate them with money instead of the previous land, so as not to complain that they can't get anything, otherwise, sooner or later they will deviate from morality; The second is that sooner or later these lords will develop into new aristocrats, and instead of letting them drift away from the royal family in the future, it is better to let everyone have the same interests and unite as a team to deal with the local factions that may arise in the future.
It may seem like a small amount for the North Korean and Chinese bigwigs to share a thousand shares, but the value of each share is still amazing.
Just because many things in the supply and marketing cooperative system are exclusive, and it is also the only 'transnational' large enterprise in East Asia, it makes too much money every year to count, which also makes the Korean Chinese Wu a lot of money.
With a huge amount of family property, everyone can't use their positions to be greedy for money, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Tong is relieved to hand over this fat errand to Ling Jing to control, and there have never been bad rumors over the years, and he, like all the shareholding bosses, donated all the dividends he receives every year to the school department to improve the local township school environment, and the family only lives on the rewards of Yu Lu and Yang Dong... Even many times, even the rewards are donated...
For such a person who has always maintained his original intention, Yang Tong really doesn't believe that he will bend the law for personal gain. But Wei Zheng, who has a little friendship with Ling Jing, is also a law enforcer who pays attention to evidence, and he is also not a person who has no purpose.
That's kind of interesting.
Yang Tong glanced at Ling Jing and found that he had a wry smile on his face, as if he knew what Wei Zheng was going to say, but he didn't defend himself. So he asked seriously: "Xuancheng, tell me, how did Jingzhi bend the law for personal gain?" ”
"Holy Lord, Ling Shangshu is entrusted by the Holy Lord to be responsible for collecting commercial taxes in various places, but he has connived at some shops to become extralegal places." Wei Zheng talked about the cause of the incident.
"Jingzhi, what is your reason?"
"Holy Lord, it's not that Weichen doesn't want to accept it, but he really can't accept it." Ling Jing arched his hand.
"Who is so arrogant? Could it be that a family opened a store under my Great Sui? ”
Yang Tong was furious.
Commercial taxes have existed since ancient times, but they are virtually nonexistent, why?
Just because eight or seven out of ten of the world's goods are in the hands of the family gate valve, and the hundred officials in the court are eight or nine out of ten from the family gate valve, let these people discuss whether they can spit out the food in their own mouths, and if they can pass, there will be ghosts...
Often the emperor is sent clean without saying that he can't 'compete with the people for profit'.
If the emperor is strong and wants to accept it, the world's family valves will resist.
Let them spit out the meat that has reached their mouths?
Don't even think about it, maybe there are still some 'natives' who raise the banner of rebellion and shake the emperor in the palace... Otherwise, why did the emperors of all dynasties turn a blind eye to such a big piece of fat as a commercial tax?
Even the arrogant Yang Guang didn't dare to do this, of course, even if he didn't do it, everyone rebelled, just because what he did made the Guanlong nobles angry more than collecting business taxes, that is, they wanted to collect their military power......
Therefore, over time, whether the commercial tax can be implemented not only represents whether the treasury is abundant or not, but also represents the emperor's control over the world.
Without a high degree of centralization, it is natural that no commercial taxes can be collected.
Who doesn't want to be an emperor, but who really does it?
However, the current Great Sui was established from the ruins by Yang Tong with a group of 'mud legs' who were not valued by the family gate valve, and without the elbow system of the family gate valve, the implementation of government decrees was like a common thing, and the era of the family gate valve grabbing huge profits from merchants and goods has long existed. The price of the merchant's goods was uniformly controlled by the imperial court, and those who arbitrarily set prices and deceived the market were severely punished by revocation of licenses, confiscation of property, and hard labor in labor reform.
The businessmen from the bottom are very honest.
But Ling Jing now said that he couldn't collect taxes, and Yang Tong was of course angry.
"It's a phoenix." Ling Jing came quietly.
"Uh......" Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then became embarrassed, wasn't the 'Youfeng Laiyi' luxury store opened by Wei Fengwu and them? It's no wonder that Ling Jing couldn't accept it.
However, when Yang Tong thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
According to Wei Fengwu and their sisters' behavior, they will never corrupt the laws of the country, which is not only related to their own status and interests, but also related to the long-term stability and inheritance of the Great Sui, so no matter what aspect they start from, they will not 'stand out from the crowd' and corrupt the law and order.
In this way, it must be Jiang Fengyi's ghost.
"The queen obstructed?" Yang Tong's face was dark, and his attitude still had to be done.
"No, it's Manager Jiang." Sure enough, as Yang Tong expected, Ling Jing directly gave the correct answer.
Wei Zheng fired directly at Yang Tong: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to abolish his selfishness for personal reasons, since the Holy Lord recovered Jizhou, he has been governing the country according to law, and such a bad incident has never happened." If Fenglaiyi has become a place outside the law, everyone learns and stores follow suit, then where is the law and discipline of my Great Sui State? ”
Yang Tong almost died of anger, and said angrily: "I and the queen did not act as a protective umbrella for Feng Laiyi, and I was concerned about my." You two talk about you, don't talk about me! ”
"Wechen knows his mistake." Wei Zheng knew that he was speechless, and said embarrassedly: "The meaning of the existence of the law is to restrain the people and seek benefits for the people. ”
Everyone tried their best to hold back laughter, but they also understood Wei Zheng's mood.
After all, no matter how good the law is, if no one comes to enforce it, it is a dead letter, and the people who really make the law imperceptible and step by step to restrain the norms of the people are Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, and Zheng Renji as the head of the Criminal Department, the Imperial Department, and the Dali Temple, and it is they who resolutely implement the laws of the Great Sui from top to bottom and build a strong-willed legal team, so that the people can accept and believe in the government. If they compromise on 'Youfeng Laiyi' today, then their hard work and sweat will lose their meaning, and if this evil example is opened today, there will be other nobles to follow suit in the future. In the long run, what is the difference between this dynasty and the previous dynasty, it is still an unbreakable circle.
Because of this, Wei Zheng was anxious, not only sued Ling Jing, but also pointed the finger at Yang Tong.
"What did Jiang Fengyi say?" Yang Tong naturally wouldn't really be angry with Wei Zheng and asked Ling Jing.
"She said that the court owes her money, and it is good to deduct it directly from the arrears, and there is no need to move around." Ling Jing smiled bitterly.
"......" Wei Zheng also turned off the fire. The imperial court did take the money of her entire palace, and then went to fund hundreds of thousands of disaster victims to settle down, and when the victims did not have a harvest, they worked for nearly a year, but only God knows how much money they had.
"Yang Shangshu, how much did you take? Aren't there statistics? Wei Zheng asked Yang Shidao, he was in charge of accepting this matter at that time.
Yang Shidao said with a bitter face: "Many priceless treasures were all sent to the palace, and there were many livestock, and they were in a hurry to resettle the victims at that time, so they couldn't be counted." ”
Yes, this is another pitfall.
Yang Gongren said confidently: "It's a big deal to double her compensation, if she talks about the money owed by the court at every turn, it is not only bad for the national law, but also bad for the reputation of the court." ”
"It makes sense, the court also wants to save face." Yang Shanhui nodded
Yang Tong clearly remembered that Jiang Fengyi said that he was giving it away for nothing.
But after that, he turned his face and didn't admit it.
Always said that he owed her money.
It's good now, and he directly smashed this foolish debt to the head of the court, but he didn't say it, anyway, it wasn't him who lost money.
Yang Shidao was anxious: "Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce have a lot of inputs, the expenses are greater. The counties have invested huge sums of money in building water conservancy and building official road tracks year after year, and this year they have been fighting wars, and millions of soldiers have eaten horses and chewed horses, and the expenses are huge, so... I can't afford to lose money by doubling down. ”
This is not to shirk, although the income of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce is very high, but the expenses are even greater, and the construction of water conservancy facilities such as waterwheels, canals, and overturned cars in these newly acquired places in Qingxu and Jingyang alone, as well as the cash-for-work carried out in these places, consumes a large part of the state treasury, and the military salary and pension of the million-strong army is even more incredible, and there are many large-scale projects in which Yang Dong participates, for example, the track that has been invested in the construction of the track is Yang Tong's own money.
The key point is that more than 50 counties have been recovered this year, and the disaster victims in nearly one-third of the territory have also become a huge burden on the imperial court.
This is also because the foundation of the Great Sui is well laid, if it were not for the imperial court to invest the wealth accumulated for many years in the land of the four southern states, these places that have not been relieved and resettled are very likely to rebel again.
Although there are a lot of gold, silver and copper ingots from Huining, Zhongtiao Mountain, Jiangxia, Liaodong, Liyang, and Japanese slaves, and there is no shortage of raw materials for coinage in the Great Sui, if all of them are made into money and issued all over the world, it is estimated that there will be a major event, and the experience of indiscriminate issuance of copper coins has not passed for a long time.
But the huge efforts of the imperial court have also paid off, at least the four southern states have been completely peaceful, and the people have worked hard to rebuild their homes on the ruins, and after the coming year, they will continue to return to the imperial court.
"Women like these glittering things, according to me, simply take gold ingots, diamond rough stones, jade rough stones to return her, but she herself does not dare to mint money, put it at home is no different from stone and soil, and has no effect on the court." Fang Xuanling came up with an idea.
Everyone laughed together, laughing and praising Fang Xuanling's good method. Yang Shidao and Ling Jing left in a hurry to negotiate with Jiang Fengyi.
Yang Tong sneered:
That girl is well-informed, she has long since stopped taking wealth to heart, and opening a store is just a ticket nature, she deliberately did this, it was nothing more than that it was too cold, and she wanted me to warm her bed, and she would never accept these cold things.
If you don't believe it, you can see it.
As Yang Dong expected, the two great Shangshu went and came in a hurry, and the gray eyebrows ended in failure.
……
"Now that there are three flying artifacts, to deal with the puppet Tang Dynasty that is in danger of the mountain, it will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results, and the destruction of the puppet Tang Dynasty is no longer a problem, and from then on, my Great Sui's war knife will be all external." Li Jing suddenly laughed.
Swish!
Everyone's eyes were on Li Jing, he changed too fast, which caught people off guard.
"That's for sure." Yang Tong was a little puzzled, but still said: "If there is another round of war between the Eastern/Turkic, the strength of the Eastern/Turkic will definitely fall into the lowest in history, and at that time, I am ready to adopt the ten-banner system in the Eastern/Turkic." ”
The Ten Banners of Jiangyuan have been formally established, and the members of the Ten Banners are completely distinguished from the ordinary party members and Xianbei people in Jiangyuan, and they have an infinite sense of superiority in their hearts.
With this successful case, the next step is to promote the four surnames of Tubo Subi, Ba, Nong, and Cai Bang, only because of this, the four generals under the command of the four surnames were also canonized by the Great Sui, and the laws of the four countries could not sanction these four people, and the army under their command was also very similar to the ten tribes of Jiangyuan. It is not difficult to promote the 10-flag system in its own country.
"Even so, the foreign race is not credible after all, and more regulations need to be made." Li Jing said.
"How?" After all, the Ten Banners system is a new thing, and Yang Tong certainly hopes that it will be further improved and limited to the death.
"Haha, from the perspective of the old minister, it depends on the descendants of the saint." Li Jing suddenly said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then nodded knowingly.
When Yang Tong was there, Jiangyuan Ten Banners didn't dare to turn over a little wind and waves, even if something went wrong, it would never happen in this generation.
The founding emperors of all dynasties have seized the world by killing, and the amazing killing intent and momentum are enough to deter everything, and the descendants of the emperors who inherited the country are pampered, and their prestige alone is countless times lower, so the most important thing for the emperors of all generations is the cultivation of their heirs, and strive to create a complete system for future generations inside and outside the elbow.
"The prince is too young now, let's talk about this later! I'm still young, and I have at least a few decades left to help him build his foundation. Yang Tong said with a smile.
"Holy Wisdom." Li Jing arched his hand and said: "If Concubine Xian gives birth to a son, then there will be six princes in the Holy Lord." ”
Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Whether it is a man or a woman, you can only know when you are born." ”
"If my Great Sui dominates the world, the next step is to suddenly conquer the whole world, when the time comes, the children of the royal family need to sit in all sides, compared to the vast world, the saint's heirs are really too few, according to the old minister's opinion, the saint should marry more concubines."
Li Jing said very seriously, these people have not only seen the world map, but also know where Yang Tong's ambitions are, if they subdue these places one by one in the future, they naturally can't go back after grabbing it, let alone setting up a governor's mansion and a protector's mansion. However, many places are too far away, and only the children of the royal family can control them, which is reassuring.
Yang Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, this old fox said this trick, it was nothing more than to let himself pay off his debts.
"What Zhongshu Ling said is that there are only one queen and six concubines in the saint, and even if the princess of the wingman enters the court, there are only eight women, which is really too little. We don't require that there are 3,000 beauties on the unholy saints, but at least nine concubines must have them, right? Yang Gongren glanced at Fang Xuanling strangely, "According to Weichen's opinion, the girls in the Rakshasa camp are beautiful in appearance and both civil and military, and they can all be arranged to enter the palace." ”
Generally speaking, the higher the status, the more people pay attention to inheritance, like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, how many women there are, I'm afraid he doesn't know himself, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are almost the same, but their three generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty rarely expand on the issue of women, Emperor Wen is a tigress in the family, no way;
Emperor Wu took Empress Chen as a reference, loved the country and did not love the beauty, but with the death of Yang Zhao and the abolition of Yang Xuan, there was not even an elderly qualified heir, and fortunately there was a great Yang Dong, otherwise, Yang Jian's vein would have been extinct long ago.
And when it came to Yang Tong, he still didn't have much interest in expanding the backyard, except for one yuan, the other few were passively accepted. If he has the heart to expand the harem, he only needs to give an order, and the girls from all the families who went to study in the Shura Wei and Rakshasa camps will definitely line up outside the door to accept any request from Yang Tong, but Yang Dong's attitude towards Shurawei and the Rakshasa Palace is mostly matchmaking.
Nowadays, the Shurawei and Rakshasa battalions are mainly to protect the palace city, and they rarely fight alone, in addition to the content of the training, they also ask someone to teach them things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red, etc., and the girls who are not on duty can also go to the palace library to study, and because of the good educational conditions here, the officials of the Great Sui like to send their daughters to study in Shurawei.
First, Yang Tong's attitude towards women is reassuring, and second, if Yang Tong really likes which, it may not be a good thing for the officials.
"Yes, according to Yichen, those girls are also willing." Du Ruhui followed Yang Tong to fight for a few months, and he knew the thoughts of Li Youwei, Zheng Liwan, Fang Xiuzhu, and Yao Yao very well.
Seeing that the intention was not enough, and the big guy who changed into a matchmaker in seconds, Yang Tong interrupted, "Stop, if I linger in Gentle Township all day long, the Dasui foundation that we have worked so hard to run will be abandoned in a short time." As for Jiang Fengyi's case, it will be handed over to me to deal with. ”
"Holy Wisdom."
Everyone showed a fox-like smile, Jiang Fengyi's boss problem can only be solved by Yang Tong.
