"Contrary to Taizu's original intention."

It can be said that the tirade that precedes it is all aimed at leading to this argument. Because for a dynasty, this is the prerequisite for doing things, which is the so-called jurisprudence.

I have never seen a descendant emperor say that the founding emperor of his own dynasty did something wrong, let alone point to a certain system set by the founding emperor and say, "This chaotic life is also forgiven." ”

If you can disobey the wishes of your ancestors at will, how can you inherit the inheritance of your ancestors?

Therefore, Zu Xun can be used by officials to resist the emperor's chaotic life; It can also be used by the emperor to refute the doubts of his subordinates.

Gao Pragmatic said so much earlier, just to stand firm: I put forward the following rectification opinions based on the original intention of Emperor Taizu to create the post station.

In fact, there is a foreshadowing here, that is, Gao Pragmatic only mentions the "original intention", but does not talk about the specific means of implementation.

In other words, as long as it follows Emperor Taizu's "original intention", even if the current purge method is slightly different from that of Emperor Taizu, it is not so strange, after all, time has changed, and the current situation is different from the situation faced by Taizu!

Next, Gao Pragmatic put forward a total of eight major items and nineteen small items in the sparse article, and there is no need to repeat them here, but simply talk about the two most important ones:

First of all, the power of the post station to collect taxes and levy forced labor from the local government was abolished, and the local government collected a post tax, which was determined according to the size of the post station, the quality of the facilities, and the number of personnel.

Secondly, the supervision of the actual situation of the post station (including but not limited to the size, the quality of the facilities, and the number of personnel) is to appoint a commissioner appointed by the imperial court to conduct at least one unscheduled surprise inspection every year, and the other is to be effectively supervised by the local government - because the local government has to hand over a tax to the post station, so generally speaking, the post station will not be allowed to make false reports.

Conversely, the post station also has the right to directly go to the imperial court and impeach the local chief or subordinate officials at all levels when the post tax is not received or not fully received.

This setting is a typical mutual supervision - for the locality, if you want to spend my money, then I must see that you have met the standards you should have; For the station, I meet the standard, you must give me money, or I will sue you!

Although the protection of officials and officials is the most common operation, there is one point: between these two "officials", there must be related interests, at least there is no conflict of interest, otherwise, how can officials protect each other under the competition between the two tigers?

Of course, Gao Yude has always been unafraid to speculate on these officials with the greatest malice, and he even thought: What if the magistrates and the post station reached an agreement and directly increased the looting of the people, and then added two to five to divide up the overcharged money?

This depends on the third article of high pragmatism: in the future, the two capitals in the north and south and the provincial patrols will be mobilized by the household department to mobilize capable personnel, and each patrol will be assigned a special financial team, with about three to five people, who will be responsible for checking the post tax!

Don't look at this financial group that is directly under the household department, but only obeys the orders of the provincial patrol and imperial history when it is local, it is very inconspicuous in terms of rank, and it is expected that the people used are only some petty officials of eight or nine grades. But in fact, Gao Shishi knew in his heart that his move might be the most dangerous move in the entire "Relief Road".

The most dangerous, and there is no one.

It is even more dangerous than taking back the privileges of the post station to levy taxes and levy forced labor.

At the same time, it is much more significant.

Because this is the first time that Gao Pragmatic has tentatively revised the financial system set by Zhu Yuanzhang - although the magnitude of this amendment is very small, the action is very slight, and the caution is almost timid, but the real meaning it represents is only clear to Gao Pragmatic.

This is a very hidden breakthrough.

As long as this system can become a common practice, there will be at least a few benefits:

First, from then on, the local government said that I can only collect how much tax here, so the situation of only how much tax to pay to the center has changed qualitatively - the center directly sent someone to check the accounts, and if you dare to talk nonsense, you are joking with your own black yarn hat and even your net worth!

In the near future, this "tax inspection team" will be a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of local officials, and they are all specialized financial personnel, completely different from the original supervisor who only had a god knows whether he knew whether he knew how to do math.

Second, since he wants to send a special person to check the accounts, Gao Pragmatic can find a way to sell some new algorithms to the household department to improve administrative efficiency, which is not only to lay the foundation for the fiscal and taxation reform after he takes power in the future, but also to lay the foundation for the introduction of various science and technology in the future - the development of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other academics, which does not need to cultivate mathematical talents?

Let the household department find itself with the opportunity to expand the power of the ministry, and the household department will naturally increase the training of relevant talents, and then be highly pragmatic and can secretly implement means in it, entrainment of private goods, benefit the power of the user department, and pave the way for some talents in the future - no matter what reform you have, if the people under your hands will only know four books and five classics, it will not work out. If all the officials in the world have Gao Guoyan's mathematical level now, he will be pragmatic and eat too much to support before he this idleness!

Third, the post tax is an additional tax obtained by a local government, and now the imperial court is handed over to them to handle it, regardless of whether there is anyone to supervise it, as long as those who have been officials know: I will do it, and the power is in my hands; If it is in my hands, it will be good.

At the very least, you can't ignore me in the future, right?

Therefore, this is a means adopted by Gao Pragmatic in order to reduce local opposition as much as possible, and with this article in place, it is easy to send personnel to supervise, otherwise someone will definitely jump out and say that supervision is purely superfluous.

Fourth, Gao Pragmatic is secretly cooperating with Gao Gong. After Gao Gong took charge of the ministry, he has always advocated that it is not possible to use Jinshi without lifting people, because in fact, the lifting group is not only much larger than the Jinshi group, but also has many talented people among the lifting people, and it is a pity to abandon them. Once the method of high pragmatism is implemented, there will be at least 45-75 more positions in the two capitals and thirteen provinces to arrange these members of the tax inspection team who are in the eighth or ninth grade, and these members will definitely not choose the master of the Jinshi to do it, and it is likely that they will be selected from among the people.

Moreover, it is impossible for the household department to only use these dozens of people, there must still be some vacancy, and there must be a number of people to replenish at any time, so how can you say that you have to make up one or two hundred people, right? At this time, one or two hundred people with more reliable mathematical skills have been placed, and after some years of experience, when they want to reform the fiscal and taxation system in the future, they can not directly use them?

Although they didn't pass the Jinshi exam, but now they are not cultivating "Chu Xiang", so what's the use of asking for your Jinshi "diploma"? Hai Jui is just a man!
