Gao Panlong saw that the apocalypse said that fairness is the greatest ability of officials, and couldn't help frowning and said: "To be fair in the general period, but when encountering special affairs, you still need to make temporary decisions, is it too much to say that fairness is the greatest ability?" ”

Apocalypse said: "I only said that fairness is the greatest ability of officials, but I did not say that fairness is the only ability of officials, after all, there are very few unpredictable special affairs, unless the Advance Administration Department is dry and does not care. Of course, there is also a situation in which the officials in charge deliberately delay ordinary affairs into special affairs, and this is called taking advantage of one's own dignity and deceiving merit and rewarding, and such people and things should be severely punished. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. ”

At the beginning of November, after careful discussions, the Supervisory Yuan agreed to set up an auxiliary administrative yuan and announced the whole country by a decree issued by the Apocalypse, and then announced that it would gradually implement the auxiliary political affairs to the provinces, prefectures, and counties. Although the officials had heard about it for a long time, they still felt a little sudden and nervous when they heard the exact news, after all, it was human nature to be vigilant against unfamiliar things. The nervousness of the officials had not yet been relieved, and suddenly the apocalypse decreed that schools should be set up at the same time as the mining and construction sites throughout the country. Mine construction and road construction is a matter that everyone knows, and half of the provinces have already started to do it, but the government-run schools are still a novelty.

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all scholars have entered private schools at the beginning, and what knowledge to teach is decided by Mr. Private School, and there is only one purpose, which is for the triennial imperial examination. When a person enters school and is admitted to Xiucaiju, his teacher is replaced by an examiner who takes him, because he has the value of emotional investment, and the previous Mr. Enlightenment is basically thrown aside. Everyone is accustomed to this kind of thing, no one blames students for being snobbish, who calls Mr. useless and can't add help to students' careers? Of course, there are also people who don't forget their roots, and when they become officials, they often remember that Mr. Enlightenment is obsessed, but after all, they are a minority.

Now there is a government school, and it is said that everyone will be able to read and write, which makes many people surprised and look forward to it. Everyone knows that reading will change lives, although now people who read do not have as many privileges as before, and they have to pay taxes and food like ordinary people, but everyone understands that there is a big difference between those who have read books and those who have not, and their futures are also different.

As the saying goes, there are a lot of strange things every year, and two days after the announcement of the government-run school, the imperial court announced that it would increase the number of auxiliary officials in each county, such as the tax collector who assists in tax collection, the school official who assists in running the school, and the industrial and mining officials who assist in mining and road repair, etc., all of which must be selected from the local officials. Of course, not all auxiliary officials are selected from the local area, and each county has a Liupin county governor who supervises the county order, and his main business is to preside over the selection of officials and supervise the county order to do things honestly.

Soon after the proclamation of the imperial court, the governors of the provinces were first summoned to Beijing to study, and they studied in the Supervisory Yuan for half a month, and then each brought a group of people back to the province to prepare for the establishment of the Provincial Auxiliary Yuan. At present, there are not many people in the central government, and only a group of people from the Hanlin Academy and idle officials are selected to go to the provinces, and their first task is to train and discover talents. They first gathered all the people together to explain in detail the significance of running auxiliary political bureaus at all levels, and then supplemented them to serve as tax officials and school officials in various prefectures and counties according to their personal wishes and the shortage of personnel in each prefecture and county, and they were busy all the way until the end of November.

Generally speaking, you can do things when you have people, but now you have to do things later, and you have to solve these people's problems first. The people sent from the central government turned out to have a lot of money, and no one had the heart to ask for more than the age limit there anyway, and the main thing that needed to be solved was the lifting of people from the provinces. Although the people of the provinces said that the imperial court wanted to supply silver rice, it was only enough to fill the stomach, and now they have to come out to do things, and the court said that they would give eight products, so the corresponding treatment must be improved, and people can not do more things and take less money, which is the principle that must be followed. For this reason, in early December, the Government Council received requests for money from various places.

King Xin, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Panlong and others had known about this for a long time, and they had been very well prepared for a long time. A few days after receiving the report from the provinces, they immediately announced in the name of the Government Council the distribution ratio of the tax revenue in each locality: "For a while, it has been said that a part of the tax collected from the mines and factories will be left to the localities, but everyone knows about it, but it is not clear how much it will be kept, so it has been looking forward to it."

At that time, the Government Council did not specify how much it would leave to the localities because the money had not yet been received. At that time, the mining and construction affairs in various places were still in the process of selling rights, and only a small number of places had just started construction and had not sold for a few dollars, and it was impossible to talk about collecting taxes. In addition, it involves the big iron company, and it is really difficult to calculate how to distribute the tax ratio. After Tianqi found out, he decided to let the household department and the big iron company each give out a part of the benefits, and pay subsidies to the newly added personnel in various places.

The big iron company was originally opened by heaven to open the way for the imperial court, and now that he sees that all parts of the country are moving, he feels that there is no need to rush to the front in everything, but there are still many interests in it, so he will not let it all go. After careful discussion with several members of the Supervisory Yuan, Tianqi decided to transfer all the proceeds from the sale of the right to open the mine and start the construction to the road, leaving only the income of the money bank to appease the shareholders. At the same time, it also requires the Government Council to set aside all commercial taxes and mining taxes that may be harvested to local governments in the case of fiscal surpluses.

After much deliberation, the final result was that the taxes received from mines, factories, commerce, etc., were called commercial taxes, and all the commercial taxes received were divided into twenty equal parts. Among the 20 equal parts, each county retains five equal shares, the government retains three equal shares, the province retains two equal shares, and the remaining ten equal parts are all handed over to the household department ♀, which means that everyone can not just sit and do nothing, if any county does not do well in the business and other things, the higher authorities will reprimand them and say that they have no profits.

When announcing these measures, the Government Council clearly stipulated that part of the tax revenue retained in the provinces, prefectures, and counties would be used to subsidize the newly added personnel, and the rest would be used for the construction of new farms in the future.

Within a few days of the promulgation of this regulation, officials across the country understood its meaning. In addition to the agricultural tax is not counted, other things can be taxed, received everyone has income, not to mention will be commended by the superior, if because they are lazy or do not understand the cause of no one to work, then there is no tax, everyone can only receive as the original grain and rice that is only enough to fill the stomach, and everyone naturally knows what to do.

It is said that one day in early December, Tianqi was talking to the queen in Kunning Palace to relieve boredom, and when he was talking, he saw Liu Sanang and Zhang Chunying walking in, and the palace maids who followed behind each hugged a child. The queen was stunned for a moment when she saw them coming, and said: "Your Majesty, you see that the concubines are confused now, there was something to ask them to discuss, but who knew that they forgot when they spoke, and the concubines couldn't remember if they didn't come in." ”

After Chunying and Sanang met the ceremony, Tianqi asked the queen, "What does the queen need the two of them to do?" Both of them now carry a little doll, and they can't do anything. ”

Sanang also gave birth to a girl last month and was named a nobleman, others thought she would be unhappy, and the children comforted her when they were full moon and made her laugh, who knew that Sanang was very proud if he didn't care. Others asked her why she said that her daughter could choose a good name, so as not to be called a melon like those two brothers. Today, the queen asked her to come with Chunying, and they came together to listen to the queen's orders.

When the queen saw the apocalypse and asked her, she said: "Three months ago, more than 400 little palace maids were added to the palace, and after teaching etiquette for three months, they can now be divided into various places. As soon as they came, the more than 500 old palace maids who were willing to leave the palace could go out, v Beauty, Feng Cairen and Liu Guiren all had children, and the concubines asked them to pick a few to help first, and two more children were not afraid of life when they grew up. ”

Tianqi asked, "What about Feng Cairen?" Why doesn't she come with you to pick people? ”

Sanang said: "Sister Siqin is sick, and the queen mother said that she was afraid that her illness would be passed on to the child, so she would be told to recuperate with peace of mind, and we would choose two for her when we chosen." If Sister Siqin is not satisfied by then, she can be replaced by us. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "You are generous, but since you want to be with children, these new little palace maids should go to Chonghua Palace to learn from those old palace maids who know medical skills, Zhou Qing, Zhou Bi and Tang Xuan's servants are about to give birth in a few months, and others will be able to use them in the future, so it is better to call more people to learn medical skills." ”

The queen nodded and said, "Yes, then ask which ones are willing to study medicine first, and learn some now before leaving the palace in the future." ”

Tianqi nodded and said to Zhang Chunying: "Give me the watermelon and let me hug it, do you see how heavy it is." ”

Zhang Chunying turned around and took her son from the hands of the palace maid, handed it to Tianqi, and said: "Feng Cairen is sick, the watermelon and the pumpkin are both in the palace of the concubine, the two of them are about the same weight, and the concubine is afraid that she will get confused again, so she left the pumpkin in the palace and did not bring it." ”

Tianqi shook his head and said, "You can't let go now, what does it matter which one is your own?" Anyway, both of them are my sons, and both of them are made princes, everyone is equal, what else do you can't see? ”

Sanang said at this time: "Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't read much, she has also heard of the words of the heavens and the sun, are you not afraid of accidents in the future?" ”

Apocalypse said, "What are you afraid of? It's not uneven, anyway, Daming has Nanjing and Beijing, and the two brothers are just right to stay in one place. ”

The queen smiled: "The emperor is young, and the two children are still young, where can I say those things?" The emperor still talked about how to settle those palace maids who left the palace, they all knew that the emperor said that the emperor would be crowned an official after they returned to their hometown. ”
