Zhao Huan ran south again, and the Jinyi guards in Jiankang City immediately passed the news to the city, but no matter how fast it was, it was impossible for the news to be delivered to Zhao Gou's hands immediately.

Of course, this news was known to Zhao Gou, and he wouldn't care.

Zhao Huan will escape sooner or later in Jiankang, there are not many people as upright as Nan Chen. Obviously, the land of Huainan was completely lost, and Jiangbei Prefecture and County were all owned by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Chen Shubao and his son dared to squat in Jiankang City without moving.

Looking at Zhao Jiumei, she never stayed in Jiankang City after crossing the river. Although the capital of Hangzhou will make the Southern Song Dynasty seem less enterprising, but people are so safe.

Skipping the gossip, turning back to the topic, now Zhao Huan's second escape, is this also allowed by Zhao Gou. But this is also the last time, again and again, never again.

And when such news reached the northern army in Jiangbei, the morale of the Zhiyan army immediately soared.

Zhao Huan has already fled, isn't the outcome of this battle still settled?

Zhi Yanzhi repeatedly ordered Zhang Rong behind him, Yangzhou City is not a problem, and the next step is to cross the Yangtze River, but it depends on him.

Although he didn't know how this rebel leader of Liangshanbo won the favor of King Yan, he deliberately decreed that he would be an official under the command of the naval army, so that he could integrate the surrounding water forces and use them for his own use. But now Zheyan can only rely on Zhang Rong, right?

Zhang Diwan, who has left a strong mark in the official history, is about to appear on the stage of history like this.

I knew very well that Zhao Huan was already running Zhao Gou in Jiangnan, how could he not think of the water master? He prepared Zhang Rong, a good man who could speak for Liangshanbo better than Song Jiang, for the Eastern Route Army led by Zhe Yanzhi, just as he prepared Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, a force active on the shores of Dongting Lake, for Wang Yuan's Western Route Army.

The latter is even more bullish than Zhang Rong, and his family has long been operating around Dongting Lake, working hard for more than ten years, and holding high the banner of Manichaeism, shouting the slogan of "equal to the noble and the low, both rich and poor" to the sky, and even under the pretext of going north to Qinwang to fight against Jin, he pulled up a team of hundreds of people.

Well, during the second Battle of Tokyo, Zhong Xiang really sent his son Zhong Ziang and 300 Jianyong to the north to "King Qin". Although he was ordered to be repatriated by the government before he left Jinghu.

But Zhao Gou also felt very strange after hearing it. Is this a mouse licking a cat?

Even now, he can't be sure of Zhong Xiang's true purpose in his heart, so he can only take one step at a time. And with Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, Zhao Gou believes that Wang Yuanjun will definitely be able to cross the Yangtze River more easily.

Zhao Huan led people to run away again, how desperate was Li Gang in Yangzhou City and didn't care about it, just said that Zhao Gou in Bianliang City was facing a national discussion at this moment.

That is the division of finance and taxation between the central and local governments.

The division of taxes between the central and local governments is a major event not only in the current but also in the 21st century.

In the 170 years of Zhao and Song Dynasty's departure from the city, whether it was the old law before Wang Anshi's change of law, or the new law formulated by Wang Anshi, it left a lot of wealth to the local government, which is called wealth in the world. So being an official in the Great Song Dynasty is really called a comfortable one.

However, after Song Huizong came to power, Cai Jing played a lot of tricks under the guise of the new law, and served Zhao Ji, who was so happy and extravagant, extremely satisfied, but in the local area, not only the folk gentry were tossed by Cai Jing, Yang Jian and other ** Ying Feng Bureau (Huashi Gang) and Kutian, but also the official inventory of various state capitals was also hollowed out.

The money, grain, and materials that should have been left in the local area were sent to Bianliang City for Song Huizong to spend extravagantly. This is to consume the vitality and life of the Great Song Dynasty in the kingdom.

Thinking about it from the dirtiest point of view, those officials who have money in their hands can continue to spend money in the treasury, and there is no need to exploit the people too much.

But now that Cai Jing has taken away all the money, food, and materials that were originally left in the local area for emergencies, and the money and property in the hands of the officials are short, so naturally they can only exploit the people more harshly.

In the last years of Huizong, Cai Jing fell out of favor, not only because Cai Jing occupied power in old age, but also because he failed to provide enough money for Song Huizong to squander.

In the past ten years, Song Huizong has ruined the rich family wealth accumulated by his ancestors for several generations, and has left a set of laws with many drawbacks to the world.

That Sun Fu once had a sentence that was famous in all directions: In the first year of Jingkang, Sun Fu called for the middle of the matter, and entered the military department. In the last chapter, Zhao Huan asked about the ancestral law, and Fu said: "The ancestral law benefits the people, Xi and Feng benefit the country, and worship and view the law to benefit the traitor." It is a famous saying.

This ancestral law is the old law, Xi and Feng law are Wang Anshi's new policies, and Chong and Guan are the ones that Cai Jing plays.

Now Zhao Gou is already going to sit on most of the country, unlike the previous place where there were only three roads in Hedong, Hebei, where the central and local taxes are stratified, he has just revealed a little bit of wind, and he quickly detonated the entire Bianliang City.

You must know that the previous Bianliang City was all filled with the words "conscription by the imperial court".

Zhao Gou didn't forget the 'test questions' that he asked Qin Hui to bring to Bianliang City, now is the time to blossom and bear fruit. Who would have thought that it would be stolen from the limelight by this sudden rise between the central and local governments.

"The overall situation is to take the old law as an example, after so many years of chaos, the government and the people need to recuperate for some time. Liang Qing has rules in his heart? ”

Today, Wang Anshi's changes have stinked, and some people have even pressed the sin of corruption in the world on the head of Wang Anshi. Therefore, Zhao Gou directly followed the practice of the old law, and presumably the household department would come up with a specific charter.

Liang Yangzu has been promoted to the head of the household, and a look of depression flashed on his face when he heard this, but he still got up and said yes.

According to the old law, the central government's tax revenue will be much worse than it is now.

"However, things change at any time, today is different from the past, and the ancestral law cannot be maintained. Wang Wengong and Cai Jing are inherently inappropriate, but they can't be choked and eaten. Therefore, the lonely desire to start a number of counties as a pilot. ”

The word 'pilot', which everyone in later generations knows, is a conceptual breakthrough in the current era. After sitting down for a while, all the ministers got up and praised Zhao Gou's wisdom.

It's a word that breaks through the human brain.

"Although my Great Song Dynasty has the disadvantages of redundant officials, in my lonely view, only 50,000 officials are far from covering the world. Gai is the lack of control over the local villages and villages. The first thing to do is to go to the countryside with the government. ”

Zhao Gou said a move that made everyone breathe.

He adjusted the administrative structure of Zhao and Song, canceled the titles of military and prison, and the latter were all merged into the state capital, because although the XX army and XX supervisor were also at the state capital level at the administrative level, the areas under their jurisdiction were generally smaller.

Road - state capital - county - township area.

Zhao Gou added a new fourth level to the original three-level administrative framework of Zhao and Song.

Each county is divided into a number of townships according to the region and population density, scattered and wide places are townships, dense and gathered places are towns, and cities are called districts. Township and district are just names, and there is no other difference, and each township and district has set up a yamen called the public office to handle specific matters.

It was a slap in the face and knocked everyone out. Many towns and districts, that is equivalent to expanding the scale of officials countless times, where should the money and food come from?

Liang Yangzu's face turned dark.

You must know that Zhao Song originally had the disadvantage of redundant officials, that is, it was too expensive to raise so many officials. Now Zhao Gou has increased several times on the existing basis, and the household department can't afford to raise it even if he hollows it out.

In fact, in the Chinese dynasties after the Great Qin, the number of official officials (supported by the central government) given by the imperial court was simply not enough to handle local affairs.

In this way, it can only rely on "miscellaneous factions" and "showdowns", including the fire consumption in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which belong to the 'self-reliance' of the local government.

People solve their own problems and don't add trouble to the court. It is this "method" that is not very glorious, let alone very statute, once the officials are corrupt, or the control of the court over the local area is weakened, it will turn into holes, and the vitality of the court will be continuously leaked, which can be said to be endless.

What Zhao Gou wants now is to normalize and rationalize this gray income and turn it into a legitimate income that can be seen.

The central and local governments had to set a precise stratification of taxes, and everyone had to make a clear separation, so that the local governments could muster up their energy, and he felt that under such circumstances, he would not be able to support more officials.

And that's just his first move!
