Chapter 674: "Exemption from the Law"
Chapter 674 "Exemption Law"
Zhao Ji saw that the two of them had finally received it, so he said to the ministers: "I have climbed to the pole, floods and droughts are frequent, the river has changed to a landslide, and the locusts are swaying. ”
"Is it that the ancestors are angry and follow the police? Is it the heavens that punish the ominous? ”
"Anxiety is burning, and there is no peace; The ancestors have their ambitions, and they dare not forget. ”
"Since the change of the law, there has been a lot of discussion, and those who have no regrets have been covered with the head of the person who is sent by the body, and the ruler who is relied on by all the people. Slens is responsible, would you rather ignore the husband? ”
"The medicine that causes the scabies cannot but be fierce; The rope of the giant boat must not be strict. Therefore, it is often prayed in the palace - if the ancestors are angry, then the heirs of the gods, may the heavens punish me, then the beetles will be in the heart. and not to my people. ”
"In the present treasury is full, and the discipline is solemn; Jinghu naturalization, Longyou Keping. However, the owl jumped off the beam in the four seas, and the emperor's prestige did not reach the old state. When it is still difficult to work together, it is not the time to be easy and peaceful. ”
"Jiashen, offer Jingling Palace. Dare to tell the god of the temple to show that he is not dead! ”
The ministers bowed their heads: "Ministers, for the emperor Song He!" Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”
Offering to the court, one of the great ceremonies, the Son of Heaven personally sacrificed to the Taiqing Palace, Jingling Palace or Taimiao.
Bingxu, Wang Anshi asked to sell or lease state-owned assets again, but this time Su You participated, and the fangs, divisions, and treasury under the name of the Bianjing Xiangjun were divided, and the powers were clarified.
The clans actively participated, and in addition to bidding, they also had to pay a fee to Kaifeng Prefecture.
In the name of "resettlement", it is actually to buy the right to use the land of various divisions in the inner city.
The real industry, no one is stupid, and they have all moved to places where manpower and resources are cheaper - Zhongmu, Weishi, and Dongming.
This involves more than 40,000 strong men, nearly 200,000 people of migration and resettlement, Kaifeng City has entered a state of martial law, Shenji three shifts are on duty to guard the inner palace, five steps, one outline, ten steps and one sentry on the wall, and the atmosphere is strict.
The Fourth Army received weapons and controlled the Outer Imperial City, and the Imperial City Division swaggered everywhere to picket unfavorable rumors.
The reduced population, except for those left by the workshops of the clans, became the burden of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Su You enriched it into the Sitong Firm Construction Division and became a hired worker.
These people were divided into three parts, and they contracted the renovation of the outer city wall of Kaifeng Mansion all the way to prepare for the purchase of Zhenguo General Cannon.
All the way to contract the road reconstruction project from Kaifeng Mansion to the three counties, and pave the road surface with cement river sand and pebbles.
In addition, it has contracted the dredging project of the Bianhe River to continue to improve the water conservancy system of the Bianhe River.
These people, who are now working day and night, have become doing business under the hands of real professionals.
The group with the best technology, led by the backbone technicians of Sitong Construction, are busy repairing other businesses in the three counties for the magnates and transforming the original old Sifang in the inner city.
In addition, a post office was set up to transform the original foot post and horse delivery into a professional express company, which was responsible for the transportation business of the 16 counties of Kaifeng Prefecture.
From not being able to eat enough and starving to work for the heavenly family, to being self-responsible for profits and losses to earn money for yourself, this spirit is different.
The entire Kaifeng Mansion has fallen into a busy and lively state, and even the small traders who have gathered thousands of goods have been much less, pushing carts and carrying burdens, and running to various construction sites.
The factory in Zhengzhou, day and night, keeps shipping out, and the strong demand brings urgent requirements for scientific and technological improvement.
In the past, the Xiangjunfang Division had not improved tools and machinery for decades.
Now that the owner has changed, all kinds of new machinery are immediately used.
In the past, the royal institute of technology, the clans were reluctant to do so, but now in order to get a seat for their children, parents are almost heartbroken.
In view of the obvious effect of the treatment of the new river in Hebei, the waterway of the Yellow River has stabilized, and the population has begun to grow, Wang Anshi asked Hebei to divide the east and west roads.
In view of the shortage of money in the south of the Yangtze River, the currency value was reformed again, and the copper coin was changed to one article, two or five or three to meet the needs of material circulation.
Due to the supply system of Kaifeng Mansion and the imperial family, there have been major changes due to the restructuring of the Xiang Army, please promulgate the "Exemption Law".
This is an important signal that the reformists and the new party can cooperate!
Previously, all the materials needed by the Kaifeng official yamen and the palace were supplied by the Jingshi Zhuxing.
However, due to the fact that officials at all levels are up and down to extort money and property, the money spent by each bank is often more than ten times the amount of the materials required by the government.
As a result, there are many merchants and people who go bankrupt due to the loss of tribute from the merchants.
In April, Xu Zhongzheng, the head of the Fengfu Meat Shop, took the lead, and many of the heads of the bank participated, and wrote to Kaifeng Mansion, suggesting that the bankers should pay "free money" for government procurement, and after paying the money, the materials of the bankers would no longer be sent to the official yamen.
Therefore, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi ordered the establishment of a "detailed account interest office" under the municipal affairs department, which was specifically responsible for formulating the exemption law.
In August, the regulations on exemption were promulgated, according to the amount of profit made by each bank, the bank account paid the exemption money to the government, and the officials and the exempt bank account were jointly responsible for the collection, so as to exempt the supply of materials to the government and the yamen of the bank.
However, after the clans joined the ranks of the households, the situation changed significantly.
So Su Youjuan asked Zhao Ji to cancel the special title of the bank, and collectively referred to as the merchants, and the merchants paid the two taxes, which were distributed proportionally between the treasury and the inner treasury.
After the dismantling of the Xiang army, the materials required by the palace were greatly reduced, and it only needed to meet the royal supply, palace maintenance, and solar term awards, etc., and the burden on the court was greatly reduced.
The government yamen, all supply and demand, the implementation of the open bidding system, the front and back publicity system, reduce the intermediate management links, so as to avoid the officials up and down.
Because Su You had raised the salaries of the officials before, this trick was actually to distribute the benefits of corruption and bribery of a small number of senior bureaucrats in the past to all civil servants, and the businessmen paid less than before, while the senior bureaucrats could only suffer this loss.
Because Suyou has the banner of justice in hand, the support of the majority of middle and lower-level civil servants, the praise of the Chinese book, and the support of suppliers.
There are still a lot of flaws here, but because the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was too dark in the past, it gave them a little bit of light, and the reputation of "Xiao Su Qingtian" spread from Kai to Hangzhou along the canal.
After the implementation of the "Exemption Law", all the materials required by the palace and the government yamen came from the bidding of merchants. Su You honestly and unceremoniously erased Lu Jiawen's proposal to buy and sell according to the price of materials assessed by the city.
Lu Jiawen has been working hard and under a lot of pressure recently.
When Su You took office, he also wanted to compete with him, and he thought he was a strong competitor.
As a result, he applied for a grant at the beginning of his tenure, and after being rejected, he simply ignored him, divided Kaifeng Mansion by himself, and split the power before the city to pieces.
Not to mention anything else, the 50,000 hectares of brine land outside the Yellow River embankment have become fertile fields worth tens of millions in a blink of an eye.
The key is that Zhao Ji and Wang Xianggong also acquiesced to this, people earn it by themselves, and they don't want others to play? !
Ten million times! That's one-tenth of the imperial court's revenue! From the late Renzong period to the entire Yingzong Dynasty, it is best to make a surplus of one year in the Great Song Dynasty!
Turning stones into gold Su Mingrun, worthy of the name!
Nowadays, the power of the city has been compressed to manage the business books, manage the market order, and deal with transaction disputes.
He wanted to talk to Su Mingrun, but now that people are guilty of dealing with him, they all take the high-level route, and even the third envoy Zeng Bu has to make an appointment if he wants to talk to him!
……
"I'll be busy!" When Su You saw Shen Kuo off, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I haven't seen the flat tank for a few days!" ”
Several projects in Kaifeng Mansion have temporarily absorbed a large number of idle laborers in the Xiangjun, but this cannot be the norm, just a buffer in time.
For Su You, he still has to find the next way out for these people.
The best way out is Hebei and Jinghu.
However, Hebei has suffered a locust plague this year, and it is not a good choice because it belongs to the area to be relieved.
Zhang Dian was crying and shouting for Su You to send someone over, but Su You was still hesitating.
Northerners still have concerns about going to the south now.
If you have to drag your family with you, Guang Ruijun can do it, because they are already elite, and they have been forced into a desperate situation, and Su You does not care about the cost.
