Chapter 451 Tax Inspection Corps
The next morning, when Li Xuan came out of Ye's room with a tired look on his face and his feet floating, he had a smile on his face with a hint of reluctance: "Concubine Ai, it's cold outside, you don't need to send it, you can go back!" ”
Ye Shi had a radiant face, and the smile on his already extremely beautiful face was even bigger, and he hummed softly in his mouth, and then asked, "Do you still come over at night?" ”
Li Xuan originally wanted to subconsciously answer a reply!
But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and then said: "There are many arrangements today, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy until late!" ”
After saying that, he quickly turned his head and raised his feet and left!
The provincial heard Ye's soft whisper again, and he couldn't help but agree to come over again tonight, in that case, I am afraid that I will tire my young cow to death!
Nima's, who said heads-up is easier than a two!
Although Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er are also difficult to handle, but after a few days of continuous fighting, they have returned to normal, but this Ye family has not borne the rain and dew for almost two months, as the saying goes, Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, this entanglement is very powerful, so that Li Xuan's little brother is tired and foaming at the mouth several times a night.
Afterwards, when Li Xuan looked at the pitiful appearance of his soft little brother, he felt sorry for his little brother!
"Little brother, big brother can't stand you, I'll give you a holiday tonight, let's not serve those women!"
After fleeing in embarrassment, Li Xuan went to the front hall to go to the early dynasty according to the previous management!
However, this kind of early dynasty is just a small court meeting, for Li Xuan, it is more like a morning meeting, there are only seven people involved, and after a brief trivial, everyone quickly dispersed and went to their own business.
Li Xuan returned to his exclusive office, and first ordered those Hanlin people outside the office to postpone all kinds of documents and interviews this morning!
He has to make up for a good night's sleep, otherwise he won't be able to get down after the dark circles come up!
As soon as the door of the office closed, Li Xuan slept directly on the recliner and clothes inside, this sleep was called a comfortable sleep, no woman rubbed with soft flesh, no woman teased his little brother with her hands, and at the same time said in a voice that made people's bones soft: The concubine still wants to ......
If a person can sleep so comfortably, what else is there to pursue!
After sleeping until noon, Li Xuan slept full, and after having lunch alone in the royal dining room next door to the office, this was the official start of the day's work!
First of all, I read the documents sent by the Hanlin Academy step by step!
Some of these reports are trivial, and some are also militaristic matters!
Today's Tang Dynasty is no longer a small dynasty with only a few hundred people in the ravine, and after the scale is large, the same thing will often become different in nature.
For example, the report on the opening of the Guozijian submitted by the Ministry of Rites in front of me, if it was a year ago, Li Xuan would not have bothered to read it, how do you like it, anyway, it's just like that.
But now it's different!
The opening of this Guozijian is an important part of the current education system of the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be underestimated!
At present, in the Tang Dynasty, there are four formal schools, including the martial arts school directly under the Privy Council, which is dedicated to training low-level officers.
There is also the Imperial Academy, which is also sponsored by the Privy Council, but it belongs to Li Xuan's personal management, which is dedicated to training middle-level officers.
In addition, there are two schools, the "Literature Hall" and the "Engineering School" opened by the Ministry of Rites and Education Department.
The Literature Hall is mainly responsible for the enlightenment education of teenagers, mainly to train low-level officials, and the courses studied are mainly various liberal arts contents, such as the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, arithmetic, history, astronomy and geography, etc.
The engineering school, although it is said to be opened by the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites, is actually led by the Ministry of Industry, mainly to train all kinds of technical personnel required by the Ministry of Engineering, and most of the courses studied are some science courses, including arithmetic, astronomy and geography, mechanical physics, chemistry and the like.
And many of the main courses and even textbooks of these schools were compiled and even written by Li Xuan himself.
Especially for the relevant content of science, Li Xuan spent a lot of time writing out many related contents such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and so on that he still remembered.
And whenever he remembered some relevant knowledge in his previous life, he would record it in paper money in time, so as not to forget it completely for a long time.
The above four schools, the two schools of the military will not be mentioned first, this has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, but the Literature Hall and the Engineering School have a lot to do with the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Education, for example, has been competing with the Ministry of Industry for the actual dominance of the Engineering School!
Because the Ministry of Rites is the only institution responsible for education in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is to open a school or an imperial examination, it is the business of the Ministry of Rites.
Therefore, recently, the people in the Ministry of Rites have recently prepared to toss out a Guozijian, and are preparing to merge the Literature Hall and the Engineering School into the Guozijian, which will directly belong to the management of the Ministry of Rites, and kick out those people in the Ministry of Rites.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan naturally knew that the people below were also fighting for power, but he still supported the establishment of Guozijian.
Nowadays, there are few scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and there are even fewer teachers who can teach the content of the Four Books and the Five Classics, which is seriously insufficient to spread to the four schools.
If we can merge them, we will be able to concentrate our teachers!
However, when the Ministry of Rites was preparing for the establishment of the Guozijian, it was too inclined to the direction of cultivating civil officials, greatly increasing the content of traditional poetry and books, and reducing the content of arithmetic, physics and chemistry, astronomy and geography, etc., which is unacceptable!
If he, Li Xuan, just needs a group of scholars who can only write traditional poetry and books, then what about a large group outside, even if the overall proportion of these scholars who defect to the Tang Dynasty is not high, but the overall number is also huge, and there is no need to ask for hardships and cultivate themselves.
The talent he needs is not the kind of person who can only read the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, but not only to understand traditional Chinese studies, but also to lack scientific knowledge, even if he wants a liberal arts student, but at least he must be able to understand arithmetic and basic astronomy and geography and other scientific knowledge of liberal arts students.
So he wrote his own annotation directly under the report of preparing for the establishment of the Zijian State: "Increase science courses, and increase courses related to history and strategy!" ”
In addition to these, he felt that the preparation of the Ministry of Rites was not a big problem in other directions!
The newly established Guozijian will have two large branches, including the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science, which basically directly incorporate the original Literature Hall and Engineering School.
At the same time, Li Xuan also specially ordered the opening of two separate departments, namely the Department of Medicine and the Department of Agriculture!
The opening of the Department of Agronomy is naturally to improve the agricultural level of the Tang Dynasty, and the Department of Medicine, in fact, this point has Li Xuan's selfishness, the medical level in these years is too low, and people can die if they feel a cold, Li Xuan doesn't want to die directly because of a cold that day.
Develop medical care, this is to save your own life!
At the same time, in order to support the development of Guozijian and attract scholars to enroll, in addition to selecting young people from within the Tang Dynasty, it will also open enrollment to the outside world, as long as it is young people and the basic cultural level is passable, basically you can sign up.
And promised that after graduating from Guozijian, the students of Guozijian can directly become officials!
It doesn't matter if it's a faculty of arts, a faculty of science, a faculty of medicine, or a faculty of agriculture, you can become an official after graduation!
From ancient times to the present, there is no profession that attracts Chinese people more than being an official!
After approving the report of preparing for the establishment of the Zijian of the country, the next report is the report of the Ministry of Rites, applying for the first imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty!
This is not the first time this matter has been mentioned, in fact, when he first took Xingquan Mansion, he already had the idea of opening a imperial examination, and Li Xuan not only did not oppose it, but also strongly supported it.
However, when preparing for the imperial examination in the autumn, those people in the Ministry of Rites secretly did a survey among the folk scholars, that is, if the Tang Dynasty opened the imperial examination, would you apply for the examination?
As a result, Li Xuan was very helpless as a result, and there were few people willing to report on the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty at that time, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation that after the first imperial examination of great political significance, there were few scholars to take the examination.
This imperial examination has also been delayed again and again!
Now, taking advantage of the momentum of the front-line army defeating the 50,000 or 60,000 army of the puppet Ming and sweeping Guizhou, the Ministry of Rites is also bringing up the old matter again, preparing to open a imperial examination in the spring of the next year.
Li Xuan naturally supported this, and the purpose of the imperial examination was not actually to recruit talents to become officials, but to show people in Guizhou, Guangxi and other places that our Tang Dynasty was not a bandit and a thief, but a dynasty of serious people.
And this political oath is extremely important!
It is precisely because it is important that it is extremely prudent!
Not sure enough that there are a large number of scholars to take the exam, Li Xuan would rather drag it out and not open the imperial examination than make a joke that no one will take the exam!
If this kind of thing spreads, then the reputation of the Tang Dynasty will be gone, which will greatly hit the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the prestige of Li Xuan.
After reading the report of the Ministry of Rites, Li Xuan commented: The imperial examination should be done cautiously, if you are not very sure, it is better to postpone it!
Anyway, the Spring Festival is not over yet, so there is no need to be in such a hurry, let the Ministry of Rites do some homework first, and then officially start the imperial examination when it is ready, so as not to make outsiders laugh.
After the Ministry of Rites has dealt with two things in a row, the next thing is the report from the Ministry of Taxes, which is just a trivial matter.
Because what I said above is that in view of the repeated prohibitions on tax evasion and armed tax resistance, the current strength of the tax inspection team cannot cope with large-scale armed tax resistance incidents, and every time it has to ask for the assistance of the thief hunting camp or even the regular army, but the thief arrest camp and the regular army are busy with military affairs, and many times they cannot help, so the tax department requests that Yu prepare for the establishment of a tax inspection corps directly under the Ministry of Taxation, with a tentative rated number of 2,000 people, equipped with the same equipment as the regular army, and is dedicated to combating large-scale armed tax resistance. The Ministry of Food, Expenses, and Taxation will raise its own funds and will not use a penny of military spending!
Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately became curious, and then he was too lazy to read the details, and went directly to see who wrote this note, he wanted to see if that guy was so bold that he wanted to learn from Song Ziwen in later generations What kind of tax police corps he would do, not to mention what his reaction would be Li Xuan, but if this matter was known by the generals of the military, it is estimated that the generals of the military would be able to directly take their own soldiers to his door and cut him into pieces!
