Chapter 514: Quarrel
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Longevity Palace, Xu Zixian sat on the couch, opposite to a few cases, and dozens of officials from the Attendant Division were busy and running inside and outside.
The two sides of the hall outside the longevity hall are the offices of the divisions, in fact, even if the splendid and vast Zhao Wangfu, it is definitely not enough to use the office for the military divisions, just the military orders, military and political staff, military law and logistics, the military divisions, the total number of personnel used has exceeded 1,000 people, which is quite a huge number, you must know that the Fuzhou Mansion that governs the Fuzhou Mansion and governs more than a dozen counties with a population of millions of people, and the official officials of the Qin Dynasty are more than 1,000 people, and the number is still expanding and increasing.
This is the price to be paid for fine management, and Xu Zixian himself thinks it is quite worthwhile.
Most of the people who work in the palace of King Zhao are the personnel of the various divisions of the Attendant Division, sending and receiving, synthesizing, circulating official documents, docking the center, localities, and archives and so on.
In general, the actual government affairs are carried out in the independent office locations of each department, and the government affairs department and the chamber of service have requisitioned many mansions of huge families in the Fuzhou Fucheng, of course, they are generally the mansions of the nobles who have committed crimes.
For example, the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, the Marquis of Xinchang's Mansion, and the big mansions left by the Pu family, these mansions were originally abandoned and unused, and they were naturally requisitioned by various divisions.
Now that the city of Fuzhou has taken on a completely new atmosphere, a large number of officials from the pacification envoys and various departments have been requisitioned and dispatched, even the officials of the Criminal Division, Fuzhou Prefecture, and various counties are the same, they have been sent to Jianzhou and other prefectures to take up various positions sent by the military department, and those who refuse to go to their posts will be directly dismissed.
The officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the generals of the Xiang Army were directly wiped out more than ninety percent, and the rest were the officials who had passed the character and ability to pass the test, and they were also recruited to work in various departments of the shogunate.
Now Fuzhou has basically been taken over by the shogunate, Xu Zixian has established the supreme authority in the military states mainly in Fuzhou, at least in the Fujian Road, no one dares to challenge in the short term.
Xu Zixian himself also understands that as long as this situation persists for another three months to half a year, the officials of the shogunate will be in place one after another, and the officials supported by Xu Zixian will also take office one after another, and the control of the Qin King shogunate over the entire Fujian Road will be stabilized, unlike now, there will be a possibility of recurrence.
"Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai still want to see me?" Xu Zixian shook his head, and the other party Shaoqun smiled: "Why do you want to do such a useless act, there is no need to see it." ”
"It's not necessary." Fang Shaoqun also smiled and said: "If it weren't for the fact that he had asked the main force of our army to go north, and strongly asked Wang Shang to go north with his fleet and cooperate with Wang Zhi to support these requests of the army, in fact, it would be good to see it." ”
"Times are different, and when the time comes, it will come naturally." Xu Zixian naturally knew what Fang Shaoqun meant...... Now the strength of the Qin King Shogunate is growing every day, and there is no hurry.
Wang Zhi, the old fox, sent these two subordinates over with a very obvious meaning. Xu Zixian is not in a hurry, how to decide, Wang Zhi and his subordinates will watch and do.
Xu Zi stood up first and moved his body.
Recently, he has only maintained the most basic physical exercises, maintained energy, and no longer pursues the progress of martial arts.
It seems that it was a long time ago to draw a bow and shoot arrows, practice swordsmanship, and pursue the strength of one's own force.
It is those former generals who originally got along day and night, but now they are also distributed in various military states to help the dispatched officials stabilize local security, clarify the lijia, and determine the local governance of the shogunate's various divisions...... Now it has been two months since Xu Zixian officially took charge of Fuzhou, and in general, a considerable number of officials have gone to the prefecture and county to take up their posts, and the law and order have basically stabilized.
After Xu Zi walked out of the palace gate first, he found that the sun was shining outside the hall, and the weather was already quite warm.
This is February on Fujian Road, March from the Gregorian calendar, if you have a thermometer, you can find that the maximum temperature during the day has exceeded 20 degrees, if you wear a thick jacket under the noon sun, it is enough to make people sweat on their foreheads.
"Your Highness."
"I've seen Your Highness."
Many military officials hurriedly passed by, holding official documents or various files, or pen hairs and ink inkstones, etc., they looked hurried, and when they saw Xu Zixian standing on the steps, they only bowed slightly, and then said hello and left directly.
Such a scene has been seen more than once by high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Fuzhou such as Lin Douyao and Chen Dujing...... These officials from the Eastern Domain, like the soldiers, wore the same truncated gray robes, and their temperament was as capable as the soldiers, and at the same time, they were also shrewd and calm...... Many of the officials are younger than 20 years old, and it is obvious from them that they are full of vitality and infinite energy, and of course, they are full of physical strength and energy.
There are also some officials in their thirties and forties, some of whom have served in Fuzhou and other places, such as Kong He, after being reprimanded by His Royal Highness King Qin for a period of time, they have fundamentally changed their appearance and demeanor, as well as their walking and speaking posture.
Shrewd, capable, calm and pragmatic. These words are the evaluation of the military officials and nobles of Fuzhou, which are quite objective and very restrained.
It's just that they are too calculating, and the style of the buckle must be compared is quite difficult to adapt, and in terms of politeness, these officials even salute His Royal Highness King Qin at most, let alone other officials.
In recent months, I have seen too many of these gray-robed officials in Fuzhou, and I have seen them running around in a hurry with their lips pursed, holding paper and pens or carrying files, running back and forth between the yamen.
There are quite a few military officials, this is a more special existence, they wear military robes, the difference is that there is no military rank identification, they are engaged in the same work as the clerks, but they are responsible for military affairs, so they are distinguished as military officials, they are also holding the file and writing work, but the difference is that each of them has a horizontal knife hanging from their waists.
Like ordinary soldiers, these officers receive complete military training, and they are responsible for military affairs, and they must first understand the military from the perspective of the soldiers, otherwise they will be biased.
"Your Highness." Fang Shaoqun stood beside Xu Zixian and said with a smile: "Fuzhou Fucheng, as well as Jianzhou, Xinghua Army, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and many counties and prefectures have begun to choose the site of the military academy and the military academy. The clerkship department is divided into administrative and legal departments, arithmetic and other subjects, and practice is the priority. Of course, the military school is mainly based on military science, but according to the order of His Royal Highness, learn history, learn calculations, and then read the military book, military preparation, but also look at the training records of our army, and at the same time learn to measure, draw, and graduate from the school in half a year, but the third-class examination and the second-class examination have to enter the school for a month, and the second-class examination is re-entered the school, so that the time to join the school is almost a year, even if the military school is a crash course for the government military officers to enroll, it also takes one year, and the normal student is two years, and the basic principle is to select the cadets from the primary and secondary schools established in various places. At the same time, it also accepts the selection of government soldiers. If we set up schools in every state and county, and give a large number of children free admission to school, like the Eastern Domain, in a year or two, there will be much more choice. ”
Fang Shaoqun also had mixed feelings when he spoke, he was a staff member in Liu Zhiyuan's mansion before, and Liu Zhiyuan talked to him about some scheming things, it was a court dispute, it was to figure out the hearts of the people, the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, the thoughts of Han Zhong, Xu Xiashang, Zhang Guangen and others. Fang Shaoqun never imagined that one day he would actually be weighing military and political affairs, cultivating talents, ruling new officials, establishing a new military, fiscal and taxation system, and seeking a balance between income and raising soldiers, managing government, running schools, and cultivating talents......
"It's all doing well." Xu Zixian was a little bored, and said: "Tell the political affairs of the princes, and also inform the departments, don't worry, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, do the things at hand well, and there will be a day when the water will come to fruition." ”
Not far away, there was the sound of Kong He talking to someone: "What is the system of the upper plan that His Royal Highness King Qin thinks at will?" Since the two Han Dynasty, the counties and states have sent officials to Chang'an, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has opened the palace in Fuzhou today, and the prefectures and counties have sent officials to the shogunate, what is wrong? What's wrong with telling you to hand over your books? What is wrong with the military secretary taking over your finances and sending officials from the shogunate to take over the financial calculations before the end of the counting period? ”
Across a row of palace houses, Kong He's voice was still extremely loud, and Xu Zixian could even imagine Kong He's face.
This former scribe who was loyal to Qingjie is now an important minister of the Qin Dynasty's shogunate, in charge of finances.
Obviously, with the cooperation of Lin Douyao, Zhao Debang's transfer envoy has been hollowed out, and the officials sent directly by the Shogunate Military Department to the states and counties formed the Finance and Taxation Department under the Shogunate, and these personnel quickly set up the officials of the states and counties, and the local states and counties are also extremely cooperative, only the people of the Transit Department are still dissatisfied, and they have to bear the responsibility of paying taxes to the imperial court, and the Qin King's recital has also been refuted, which gives these officials of the Transit Division some confidence, and it is also the reason why they dare to argue with Kong He in person.
Xu Zixian couldn't help laughing, these officials of the Transit Envoy Department were still quite dutiful, which was also a continuation of the tradition of the Great Wei Imperial Court. No matter how the civil and criminal laws of the local state and county collapse, the transfer envoy must fulfill its responsibilities and move the local wealth to the center.
"His Royal Highness has ordered all prefectures and counties to send officials to Fuzhou." Fang Shaoqun couldn't help laughing, and said: "Kong Xuanping calculates the local finance and taxation, and then it will be compiled into Lijia, counting people, fields, commercial banks, and factories, and the commercial tax is deducted from the stall tax and the profits of the factory, and the transshipment tax rate including the customs is replaced by the coastal defense tax at sea." As for the ordinary people, those who have more acres of land will be paid, and those who have no acres of land will be exempted from household adjustment, well, not only are household adjustments exempted, but also the body tax is exempted. ”
"In the process of working in the merchants, the firms have already calculated the cost of their bodies, and the taxes are paid from the profits, which can be regarded as having paid the taxes for them. Moreover, there is no exemption from forced labor, and when the financial endowment is abundant in the future, it will definitely be exempted. The quarrel in the side hall on the left side had gradually stopped, and it was obvious that the people of the transfer envoy were speechless when they were reprimanded by Kong He, and after a while, an official in a blue robe rushed out of the side hall with an angry face, and rushed away angrily.
Xu Zixian shook his head and smiled, and said: "The rent and household adjustment originally started in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then the light was greater than that of the early Tang Dynasty. If the land is always divided into fields, the rent is reasonable, but before the Tang Dynasty, the land was corrupted, the rent Yong was collected, and then the rent Yong said that it was not abolished, but it was also a big levy of two taxes on copper money, which was already equivalent to grabbing food in the mouths of the people, to this dynasty, in addition to the rent, two taxes were levied, as well as wine, salt, sugar, folding, transferring, all kinds of miscellaneous taxes are as much as cattle hair, killing pigs and sheep to pay slaughter money, crossing the river to cross the river to cross the money, what kind of court is this, it is simply a remnant of the people! Now I have just asked for tax reduction, but the officials are jumping up and hurrying, the state colludes with the officials, and is lenient with the officials to make the officials happy to collect taxes, and if the emperor gives the officials swords and guns, and tells them to rob the people openly, what is the difference between this and a group of mountain kings? ”
