How to formulate the tax sharing between the central and local governments actually involves the question of how big the cake is. A six-inch cake and a sixteen-inch cake are also half and half, can the weight be the same?

Zhao Gou planned to turn the apportioned money and grain into a fair and honest tax, and set a charter for it, which in itself made the cake bigger.

If you do a careful calculation, you can know that according to Zhao Gou's method to govern the world, only one county needs thirty or forty high-quality officials, and there are hundreds of subordinate officials, which can be ten times higher than the number of officials in the past.

So it should be.

You must know that Zhao Song is a high-paid maintenance official, and local officials such as large counties and county orders earn 20 yuan per month, and small counties and county orders are 12 yuan, and there are five to three stones of Lusu per month, and local officials are also equipped with vocational fields. In addition to the regular salary, there are also various subsidies, such as tea, wine, kitchen materials, salary, artemisia, charcoal, salt, forage for horses, and clothing and food expenses for accompanying servants, the amount of which is linked to the specific official position.

If all of them are converted into money, it can be said that the large and small county orders will only have no less than thirty or fifty yuan of legitimate income every month, and the county lieutenant, county officer, and master book can also have between a dozen and twenty yuan. You must know that even the miscellaneous labors in ordinary cities who spin, weave, sew, cook, and sweep for the neighbors can also get hundreds of dollars a day.

Zhang Lei's poem "Feeling Spring" even wrote: "Mountain people are the easiest to make a living, and they have a livelihood of mountains and trees." The salaried person gets 100 dollars in the city, and returns to his wife and children to steam the bucket millet. ”

Those who chop wood and work can earn 100 yuan a day, and there will be four times in that month (the Northern Song Dynasty is consistent with 770 mo).

No matter how low the status of the officials is, they are also people in the court, not to mention that now that the officials are one, the status of the officials is not low. You have to have at least five or six runs on your face, huh?

In this way, the officials of a county, Zhao Gou called all the money, just the monthly consumption of Yulu is no less than 5,000 guan, and the cost of the public office yamen, the land of a county is 100,000 guan.

As soon as this figure was publicly stated by the newspaper, it was compared with the money and food needed by the Song Dynasty in the past, wouldn't it cause the entire Bianliang City to boil?

Zhao Gou was not in a hurry, he was still at 'home' reviewing the test papers, trying to find out if there would be any pearls in it.

However, there is already a lot of quarrel between the 'court' and the market over the tax share.

Originally, the spearhead was all directed at Zhao Gou's new policy, but after fermentation for a few days, a series of miscellaneous taxes with detailed data were published in the new newspapers, such as the "throwing pile and bright consumption" in various transit divisions, the "hidden pile and dark consumption" in various states and counties, and the people lost "head money" when the warehouses were accepted, and so on. In such a miscellaneous calculation, the land of that county will cost 100,000 yuan and grain, and it seems that this number is not so huge.

At that moment, there were countless mouths to curse the local officials for corruption, but there were those who scolded and those who shouted injustice. How could the magistrates not know that harshness was too much to hinder the people's livelihood, but they had no money in their hands, and the money and grain were collected from the top, so they could only try their best to get money and food from the people?

This involves the problem of insufficient local funds and the continuous squeeze of central finances, resulting in a frequent shortage of local finances. As soon as the topic shifted, it returned to the issue of the sharing of taxes between the central and local governments.

In the end, the local taxes should be handed over to the central government, and how much should the local government keep for themselves, the whole Bianliang City is in an uproar, and no definite conclusion has been reached so far.

"Alas, how difficult it is for the people. King Yan just abolished a lot of taxes and won people's hearts, and now he wants to turn the miscellaneous pies into regular taxes, and the old wine in new bottles is also biased, that is, it is just for those ignorant grass people. ”

In Bianliang City, on the Fan Tower, where there were still many guests, as Zhao Huan's envoy, Wang Yun, who came to Bianliang, had not taken a few sips of wine, and people seemed to be a little dizzy.

Liang Yuan's singing and dancing are full of romance, the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow, and the memory is full of joy and happiness, and the lights are on the Fan Tower in the middle of the night!

Everything in Bianliang City in the past has obviously become irretrievable in the past, but now Wang Yun is a little in an old dream.

The three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, and the flying bridge railings are interconnected. Between the staggered eaves and corners, the Fan Tower is still so magnificent. Among the gray tiles and green bricks, carved beams and paintings, the singing and dancing here are still so intoxicating, how can Wang Yun not be in a trance?

sat opposite him in Yuwen Xu, looking at Wang Yun with a little contempt, this person is really too unbearable to withstand the blow, and now he still says this kind of thing, is it really comfortable to depreciate King Yan's heart? This is a kind of cowardice.

The miscellaneous taxes abolished by King Yan are not the same thing as those miscellaneous sects at all. The former is the imperial court's tax law, and the latter is the local government's own selfishness, how can it be confused?

With Wang Yun's experience and insight, Yuwen Xuzhong didn't believe that he couldn't see the benefits of Zhao Gou's doing.

It is far better to make the miscellaneous faction clear than to allow officials to blackmail and blackmail at will.

Wang Yun: Is he really unable to see through? If that's the case, he's been in officialdom for so many years, and he's an absolute fool.

And if he saw through it and said it on purpose, then Wang Yun's spirit and spirit would have been completely destroyed by the cruel situation. Speaking like this is like Ah Q who will be, it is a spiritual victory method.

But no matter whether Wang Yun is a fool or Ah Q, such a person can be entrusted with a heavy task by Zhao Huan and make the right envoy of King Yan, it is a great sorrow. It is the sorrow of the Southern Dynasty, the sorrow of Zhao Huan, the emperor, and the sorrow of the deputy envoy of Yuwen Xuzhong.

But he won't refute it, why bother not making a fuss, he Yuwen Xuzhong is still responsible for the task of the emperor.

In order to beg for mercy from Zhao Gou, Zhao Huan asked Zhao Gou to collect his troops as soon as possible, which was not only written by himself, but also asked Zhao Ji to come out and send a letter to Zhao Gou. When Yuwen Xuzhong and Wang Yunlin went north to meet Zhao Ji, Yuwen Xuzhong also got a secret letter from Zhao Ji.

Maybe it's because on the way to escape, Zhao Huan's monitoring of Zhao Ji is a little incomplete, anyway, this secret letter Yu Wenxuan got it.

He didn't know what was written in this letter, but Yuwen Xuzhong did not betray Zhao Ji.

At that time, he was originally called Yuwen Huangzhong, after the high school of the field, it was Song Huizong who gave him the name "Xuzhong", and then in just ten years, he successively served as a housekeeper, a national history editor, a scholar and so on, and was promoted to a scholar of the palace when the Jin people invaded, and went to the army to appease the army of King Qin, and after the mission was completed, he signed the Privy Council, and was responsible for negotiating peace with the Jin people.

This is called Yuwen Xuzhong, why don't you be a messenger to Zhao Ji?

When Zhao Gou got this letter, he looked at Zhao Ji's beautiful thin gold body, if this letter is taken to the 21st century, shouldn't it be sold for hundreds of millions?

And Yuwen Xuzhong, who is a messenger, also made his eyes shine. Yes, when the two Song Dynasty were communicating, there was such a character in Yuwen Xuzhong.

The famous Southern Song Dynasty spy, a tragic undercover agent betrayed by the state!
