Chapter 341 Chongzheng Hall tells the story, and he is the head of the Kaifeng Commercial Tax Supervisor
Cheng Yi said that he would never take the test again, as if it was the step he had given himself, and the emperor ignored him, what else could he do?
Cheng Yi got down this step, with style and arrogance, and with everyone's admiration, he went back to Luoyang.
In his life, he really won't take the test again. I began to concentrate on learning, and I began to really move towards the path of pioneering science.
Ganchi hurried into the palace.
The anxious emperor opened his mouth and asked: "Have you persuaded Bao Qing about it?" ”
Gan Qi shook his head and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the student has not spoken. ”
"You won't be a student in the future, you should call yourself a minister." Zhao Zhen said this, and then said, "Why don't you open your mouth and say it?" ”
Gan Qi replied, "Your ...... The minister really doesn't know how to say it, Mr. Bao is really not a person who can be persuaded by the minister, the minister ......"
Gan Qi seems to be a little unaccustomed to using the self-title of minister.
Zhao Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Alas...... The Son of Heaven, what is the Son of Heaven, whether there is really that saying, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness does not gather wealth, whether the Son of Heaven is destined to be the lonely man. ”
When the emperor has reached this point, Zhao Zhen is at this age, how can he really not have a little touch in his heart? When others become emperors, they are all saying the same, majestic as a mountain, where can any courtier dare to make a little mistake?
Why do you have to be emperor yourself? Could it be such a pattern of getting along with courtiers?
However, I have been like this for most of my life, what's the use of saying this?
Gan Qi naturally didn't answer Zhao Zhen's words, but was silent.
The emperor said: "Do you have the confidence to handle the matter of Bianliang's commercial tax?" ”
What the? Gan Qi was a little surprised, how could a new science and technology scholar take on such a big responsibility? What if it's the champion? How is it possible to let a new champion serve as the chief official of a yamen in the capital? This is something that has never been done before.
Because most newcomers don't even know how the yamen works, how can they directly become the chief officials? Just like a new employee who has just graduated from college, it is a reason to become the head of the company's department when he comes up.
Gan Qi, who was surprised, replied: "If Your Majesty can trust the minister, the minister must do his best to complete this errand." ”
Zhao Zhen stared at Gan Qi for a while, and didn't know what was going through his mind, so he asked again: "Five million yuan a year in business tax, this is what you said." ”
This is Gan Qi's bull blowing, Zhao Zhen's belief or not is secondary, but Zhao Zhen wants Gan Qi to speak and count, the law is on it, take it, and the law is on it, and take it down.
Now it is different from the past, in the past, Zhao Zhen and Gan Qi talked about these things, only at this level. Now that Gan Qi has to do it, it's different. In the past, the leader valued you, but now you are officially going to do things for the leader, that is, official business.
Strict requirements, this is a must, what you say, you do. It should be done, and strict requirements are also the foundation.
"Your Majesty rest assured, as long as Your Majesty can help with one or two, five million yuan, only a little more." Ganchi is very confident.
Zhao Zhen asked, "What do you need my help with?" ”
Gan Qi was not polite, and replied bluntly: "Back to Your Majesty, first, a new commercial tax law needs to be promulgated, so that when the ministers are on errands, there is a law to follow. Second, the ministers needed manpower, a thousand messengers, and ten officials. Third, the minister hoped that the new yamen would have its own prison and its own right to judge and decide on commercial tax violations. ”
Zhao Zhen frowned and thought, this matter is a bit big. The manpower is good, and the officials are also well matched, that is, the promulgation of the new law, this is a bit difficult, and now it is only the experimental stage, and the law has been promulgated, so it is determined, in case this matter is not successful, the new law will be abolished at that time, and the face of the court will be lost a lot.
Another is that this new yamen must also have its own right to adjudicate and decide, and this issue is not so simple. The entire imperial court, which has the right to try and decide, is either the yamen of various places, or the criminal department and Dali Temple, as well as the Yushitai.
In this era, the power of law enforcement and the power of trial are not separated, and a yamen can not only arrest people, but also judge people. That means that this chief official has great power, and whoever says that he violates the law will break the law, and whoever says that he will go to jail will go to jail.
The opening of this kind of yamen, especially the new yamen, must be the object of the most attention of the Yushitai and the Imperial Court, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Gan Qi will be young and will be casually given any handle, and his political career will end before it has even begun.
Zhao Zhen asked: "The greater the authority, the greater the responsibility, can you afford the responsibility?" ”
Zhao Zhen's question has a lot of meanings, and Gan Qi can understand it. Handling cases in this era is not the next generation, there are no high-tech means in later generations, and this kind of thing is handling cases, even when there are various means in later generations, mistakes are inevitable, let alone this era?
Once there is a slight mistake, someone will inevitably stare at Gan Qi, so that Gan Qi, the new champion, will not be able to eat and walk around.
Gan Qi understood this, but he still gritted his teeth: "The minister is bent on doing errands and can't care about those things." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded very gratefully: "Okay, what you said, I have relied on you." But I can't do it so hastily when it comes to promulgating new laws. But you can let Kaifeng Mansion promulgate a Kaifeng Mansion commercial tax trial method, so that you have a law to follow, this trial method, you go home and write it, let me see it. ”
The trial method sounds familiar. Zhao Zhen can come up with this kind of thing at will, and Gan Qi glanced at Zhao Zhen a few times. Nodding his head, he replied, "The minister obeys." ”
"Another point, don't stir up public resentment. In the trial measures, the punishment should not be excessive. No matter how serious the sin, it is not allowed to be imprisoned for more than five years. "That's what Emperor Zhao Zhen cares about.
This means that the trial measures drafted by Ganchi should not be too harsh, and no matter how serious the offender is, the sentence cannot exceed five years. Another point is to ensure that Ganqi does not enforce the law too much and does not arouse public resentment.
Zhao Zhen was afraid that Gan Qi would be young and hot-blooded, and because of the tax collection, the people's resentment would boil. This is a warning, who would want to ask someone else to pay money? If you are unwilling, then there will naturally be resistance, and if there is resistance, there will be conflict, so this conflict must be controlled.
"Yes." Gan Qi replied again, but remembered another question, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister hopes that he can do the manpower dispatch of the main yamen, and I ask Your Majesty to agree." ”
"Does that make sense?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"It makes sense to be in it, the minister plans to use not a local in Kaifeng in the new yamen, but people from other places. The relationship between local people is complicated, and under the interpersonal exchanges, I am afraid that someone will collude with the business. This can be avoided early on by people from other places. Gan Qi thinks a lot, and the officials are good to say, but the officials of the local yamen must have a lot of contacts with people everywhere. However, those who really work at the grassroots level are all the officials transferred from various yamen, and there will be problems.
"I have granted you this. But if you don't need local messengers, where are you going to mobilize so many messengers to run errands? How many of them are willing to leave their hometowns? Zhao Zhen asked.
Gan Qi raised his hand and pointed to the south, and said: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of Western troops in the forbidden army camp outside the city, and the minister wants to use them to temporarily charge." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, but when a thousand guest troops enter the imperial city and something goes wrong, can you afford it?" ”
"If there is a mistake, the minister can take this responsibility." Ganchi replied.
"Well, then I've got you. The new yamen is called the Kaifeng Commercial Tax Supervisor, but it is not under the Kaifeng Mansion, it is subordinate to the three divisions of the yamen, and it is under the jurisdiction of the three divisions of the yamen. You will tell the story of the Chongzheng Palace with the seven products, and send the head of the Kaifeng commercial tax supervisor. Zhao Zhen arranged things.
The new yamen was under the management of the three divisions of the yamen, and Gan Qi became a subordinate of Wang Anshi's subordinates. But Gan Qi's official is a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace, which means that he is an official who reads to the emperor, and he is under the seven grades. Zhao Zhen still helped Gan Qi, with this official, don't look at the low official position, it means that Gan Qi is the emperor's person. Poor charge means temporary secondment.
In this new yamen, all the officials and officials are probably poor, and they don't even have an official of their own. Even this yamen is temporary, and once Gan Qi fails, this yamen will also say that there is no more.
Gan Qi was very satisfied with this official position, resigned from the emperor, and went home happily, preparing to draft a trial method for commercial taxation.
Gan Qi has been transformed, a new science and technology jinshi, and suddenly he has become a powerful official in the capital. However, this can be regarded as Ganqi's own earnings, from the strategy of collecting business taxes to the specific methods, Ganqi made suggestions.
What Gan Qi wants to do is to help the emperor make money.
