At noon, Liang Tao came to the political hall with a thick codex.

Liang Tao first saluted, and then to the four ministers of the political hall, Su Song, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian, Han Zongdao, and carefully glanced at the codex, and said: "The four ministers, from last night to the present, a total of six lords, twelve officials above the third grade came to donate, the household received the donation, preliminary estimates, there are 6,000 hectares of fields, shops, houses, manors, etc., 6,000 pieces of various precious calligraphy and paintings, antiques, silk, silk, etc.; Cash 5,820,000 ......"

Su Song was on crutches, his expression unmoving.

He listened to this number, and didn't react much, this number, in fact, Su Song knew very well in his heart, I am afraid that it is only sixty percent at most, and many people have played tricks.

Of course, the richest people in the Great Song Dynasty are the official families, followed by the Xungui, and the huge Xungui group is unimaginable. In the Yuanfeng period, someone made a rough estimate that the property owned by the nobles and related classes accounted for nearly seventy percent of the Great Song Dynasty!

The definition of the class of 'honorable nobles' is actually very vague, and there are a considerable part of the clan, or even the vast majority of people, who can be classified into this ranks, and there are also a considerable number of people in the official eunuch and gentry groups, such as Fan Zhongyan's Fan family, Han Qi's Han family, Wang Anshi's Wang family, Sima Guang's Sima family, and the Lu family with Lu Dafang, etc., all have titles.

The current Su Song also has a knighthood.

These forces fought with each other and colluded with each other, and merged into one through various methods such as mentorship and marriage.

Zhang Dian listened quietly, his eyes as deep as the sea.

Liang Tao carefully observed the expressions of the four ministers, paused, and continued: "If you want to sort it out, it may take a month, and these assets are all over my Great Song Dynasty, and you also need the assistance of other departments. According to the established bylaws, the money will be deposited into the inner treasury ......"

The others were not surprised, but Zhang Duan raised his hand and said, "The treasury is also a little short of money at present, Liang Shangshu, can you divide a part of it to the treasury?" ”

Liang Tao hesitated and said, "This ...... The lower officials have to ask the officials. ”

Zhangdun's face was as usual, and he said, "Call me back tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Liang Tao didn't think too much about it and continued to report.

These nobles and courtiers donated huge sums of money, which was really a painful and happy trouble.

The four ministers listened silently, occasionally interjecting and asking.

Cai Bian was the most serious, holding a pen and recording something.

Han Zongdao held his breath and condensed, holding it, hiding his caution. The donations of these nobles are actually an extension of the case of 'burning Kaifeng Mansion', and these nobles are spending money to eliminate their crimes.

But this doesn't mean that he can really eliminate the crime, Zhang Dun sharpened his knife and settled the account after waiting for the opportunity.

Zhang Dian picked up the teacup and took a sip, his demeanor was calm, and he was really thinking about settling accounts after the autumn in his heart, but it was not aimed at Qi Guogong and others, but the huge 'Xungui' group!

Liang Tao's mouth was dry, and he finally finished speaking, and then said seriously: "Xiaguan, I want to ask for orders for these people, invite the political affairs hall and the official family, and praise them heavily, so as to show the noble feelings of my courtiers who sacrifice themselves for others and serve the country and the people." ”

Su Song glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

Except for Zhang Dan, Cai Bian and Han Zongdao's movements all stopped, and their expressions were slightly strange.

Seeing this, Liang Tao became more and more upright, and said: "Xia Guan believes that it should be praised heavily, and I hope that others can follow suit, which is also where morality lies." ”

Zhang Duan nodded and said, "The commendation order is for me to write it myself and stamp His Majesty's big seal." However, Qi Guogong will forget it. ”

The county lord of Qi'an has just been deprived of his title, so naturally he can't be rewarded anymore.

Liang Tao didn't care, after getting this promise he gave to those people, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the twelve measuring teams on the side of the household department have been formed, and after more than a month of training outside the city, they should be able to use them." ”

Cai Bian put down the pen, looked at Liang Tao, and said with a smile: "The work of the household department has always been efficient and very good. There are 12 households, 12 Kaifeng Mansions, a total of 24 measuring teams, according to the official family, to point to area, gradually expand, to fan forward......"

In front of Liang Tao's eyes, he immediately thought of a picture, Zhao Xu's conversation with Cai Bian and others, for example, paused, suddenly took out the folding fan that had been hanging on his waist, and said the words 'fan-shaped advancement'.

Liang Tao nodded hurriedly and responded.

The first new law of the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot" is the "Fangtian Average Tax Law", which is very rich in content, and the first step is to measure the acres of land.

Measuring acres of land is the basis of equal taxation, Wang Anshi did this in the Xining period, but it was used for the stubborn obstruction of the 'old party', which did not have much effect, and it can only be said to have a certain effect, but it cannot curb land annexation.

At the beginning of Yuan You, the new law was abolished, and the first one to be destroyed was also the Fangtian Average Tax Law, and the landlords of all sizes carried out crazy retaliation, and the land annexation was more serious than that of Xiningchu, I don't know how much!

Speaking of this, Cai Bian glanced at Su Song and said, "The day after tomorrow will be the beginning of the dynasty, and when the time comes, the four of us will go, and the six Shangshu will also come." ”

Liang Tao naturally didn't say anything, raised his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

As he spoke, he quietly looked at Su Song.

Su Song is the person left behind by the Empress Dowager, the 'old party', and the current prime minister, has he also turned?

Su Song's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his expression, and Liang Tao's gaze turned to Han Zongdao again.

This is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, the 'prime minister', and the same person left by the Empress Dowager Gao, he ...... Have you turned too?

Thinking of this, Liang Tao suddenly had some doubts in his heart, these two people are both 'old parties', why did the official family put these two people in such a critical position?

Su Song ignored Liang Tao's implicit inquiring gaze, and when he finished speaking, he said lightly: "These are all details, don't spend much energy on this, the dynasty is about to start, and prepare for the established things." ”

Liang Tao guessed more and more that Su Song had turned, and said calmly: "Yes, Xia Guan understands." ”

Zhang Dian looked at Su Song and said, "On the first day, Dali Temple will deal with a series of recent long-delayed fraud cases, and I have also drawn up more than a dozen edicts, and I will have someone send them to your duty room later." ”

Su Song glanced at him and said, "I have seen the examination method of the officials, it is too harsh. ”

Zhang Dian said lightly: "The official family said that in troubled times, although my Great Song Dynasty is not chaotic now, it is a pot of porridge with everything, and it must be sorted out with strict laws." The discipline and majesty of the imperial court need to be reshaped! At this point, Su Xianggong has different ideas and can argue with the officials. ”

In fact, Su Song could feel the taste of the word 'serious' from Zhao Xu a long time ago, and he could vaguely guess it from Zhao Xu's rare cane killing two courtiers.

The continuous centralization of power in the past half year confirmed Su Song's speculation.

Su Song naturally didn't go to Zhao Xu to say this, he said that he couldn't help Zhao Xu, and he had to write a recital in support of the strict law.

"It has to be changed!" Su Song stood up on crutches and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Even if you have my big seal, you still need my signature." ”

Su Song said, strolling out of the conference room.

Seeing this, Han Zongdao hurriedly got up and followed. The two of them are not a party but a party, and they are both people left behind by the Empress Dowager, so they are naturally close.

Cai Bian put away his pen, watched Su Song turn to the direction of the Vertical Arch Palace, and said, "Are you really not afraid that Su Xianggong will go to the official family?" If he comes up with enough reasons, the official family may be moved. ”

Zhang Dian looked at ease, stood up, and didn't say until he walked out of the door of the conference room: "The official family is out of the palace." ”

Cai Bian was stunned, he didn't know this, turned to Liang Tao, and said, "Liang Shangshu, the transfer department of various places, what do you say?" ”

The Transshipment Division was a special institution in the Song Dynasty, and it was the most important channel for the imperial court to collude with the localities.

This is also a special institution under the 'checks and balances' of the Song Dynasty, which is in charge of almost all the money and grain in and out of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liang Tao's expression was solemn, and he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Cai Xianggong rest assured, this year's taxes, the household department will definitely collect all the taxes and hand them over to the national treasury!" ”
