13. Reset the Thirteen Courts
The next day, the Hanlin Yuan of the Daming Palace issued a purple mud edict, stating: the Shaanxi Lucao was introduced to the central capital, and the Shaanxi Governor Shi and Henan Yin were both led by the Shaanxi Mansion and Henan Water and Land Transport Envoys, and since then in Heyin, Dongdu, Yuanqu, Jijin, Shaanxi, Yongfeng, Dongweiqiao, these seven places have re-established patrol courtyards and transfer depots, and the inspectors and judges are no longer served by the local county lieutenants of Shaanxi and Henan, but are sent by the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division of the Third Division of the Ministry of Household to come to work, "sub-supervise their duties", and directly responsible for the subordinate servant Du Huangshang.
Taking this as an opportunity, the imperial court officially began to abolish the "Poor Gang Law" promulgated by Dou Shen in the past.
The so-called poor gang law is for the long gang law, that is, it is believed that Liu Yan painstakingly built the "Cao Yin system", which requires the financial supply of the entire patrol courtyard and the transfer hospital system, and all the ships and sailors on the Cao Yun, which is too "laborious and costly", so Dou Shen delegated the power of Cao Yun to Fang Zhen along the road section by section, so that they are responsible, the court only needs to sit on the tax for that part, Dou Shen's trip is mainly to please the Fang Town of the Central Plains, especially the Xuanwu Army, as a result, this law is only a year, the imperial court in the Jianghuai Eight Provinces of taxes, rice, It was arbitrarily intercepted and deducted by Xuanwu and other towns, and the Cao Law and the Salt Law were greatly damaged - if it were not for the full support of Jiannan, Xingyuan, Fengxiang, Shannan, Jingnan and other places during this time, plus the emperor's desperate shameless Xuansuo, the imperial court would have almost no funds to fight the war against the party and Xifan.
At this time, Gao Yue, Du Huangsheng and other prime ministers said to the emperor that if they wanted to cut off Guandongfang Town immediately, they must rely on Jianghuai's finance and taxation as "funds for counterinsurgency", so they had to abolish this poor law that brought disaster to the country and the people.
That's why this edict was issued.
In the middle of winter, the imperial court official army camp was stationed in Zhongmu on the border of Xuanwu Town, and Li Wanrong and the generals of the Biansong Dynasty came to greet him and express their deferential attitude towards the imperial court, and the imperial court also took the opportunity to send the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, who had just returned from the successful mission of the Northern Court of the Western Regions, to serve as the military envoy of Xuanwu Supervision.
In addition, Ju Wenzhen went to the post with a special seal, and the emperor from this time, in order to strengthen the authority of the military envoys in each town, engraved the "seal of the supervising army" and sent it to the supervising military institutes of each town, and said that the major dispositions in the town and the exchanges with the imperial court must be stamped with the seal of the supervising army before it can take effect.
Ju Wenzhen had a stern face, and went straight into the Bianzhou Military City with a seal, and the Xuanwu army was all silent, and then Ju Wenzhen went straight into Liu Xuanzuo's old house, met Xuanzuo's mother, and told her that Liu Shining had been mourned in the Beijing Division with peace of mind, and asked what other pillars were there in the family?
Liu Xuanzuo's mother sat in front of the spinning wheel, thought about it, and replied that Shining was driven away, and Xuanzuo's son-in-law Zhai Zuoben was killed.
Hearing this, Ju Wenzhen was overjoyed, and after giving Xuanzuo's mother the goods, he came to the military office and said to Li Wanrong that Xuanzuo's nephew Han Hong, who was both civil and military, could make him the new commander of the capital and horses, so that he could borrow Xuanzuo's old favor to subdue the military heart of Xuanwu Town.
Li Wanrong and his son Li Nai couldn't help but scold in their hearts, who didn't know that this was a check and balance plan for the prison envoy Ju Wenzhen? But now the situation in Xuanwu Town can't help but make him arbitrary, so he can only agree to Ju's request.
Soon, Han Hong was appointed by the imperial court as the imperial historian, and he flew up on a rocket, and led hundreds of subordinates from Songzhou to enter Bianzhou City, and was the new capital of the Xuanwu Army.
At the same time, the Bianzhou Transshipment Patrol Institute operated by Xuanwujun itself was officially abolished, and the Salt and Iron Transshipment Department of the imperial court took over.
Not only Bianzhou, but also Gao Yue's Zhongshu Menxia Province issued a court bill that clearly stipulated: abolish the Daitang and Patrol Courts set up in all places on the Caoyun Line, and restore the thirteen patrol court system from Jianghuai to Biansong in the Liu Yan era, namely Yangzhou (Yangzi), Bianzhou, Chen Xu, Lushou, Baisha, Huaixi, Yinqiao, Songzhou, Runan, Zhexi, Yanyun, Zhenghua, and Sizhou, all of these thirteen patrol courts have set up prefects, and urgently selected a group of talented people from the imperial history team to take on the role, and Gao Yue also stipulated that the main responsibility of these thirteen patrol courts is to take charge of the boat, salt distribution, the weight of goods (prices), and every other month, the situation of rain and snow in each state and county must be formed into materials and reported to the household department, so that the imperial court can grasp the local disaster situation; In addition, there are two extremely important duties in the patrol court, one is to "catch and take the traitors", the traitors here are the smugglers, mountain sheds, and river thieves (of course, these three also overlap), and the other is the "prohibition of theft irrigation", the main line of the water transport is Bianshui, although it has been dredged many times, but the riverbed is still very shallow, the so-called river boats do not enter the river is this truth, and the people or local tyrants along the river also like to secretly chisel open the bucket gate, release water to water the planted millet and vegetables, so that it is easy to let the river water dry up, the ship runs aground.
When this case came out again, all the provinces and states under the jurisdiction of the original Chagang Law complained to Gao Yue through the Jingshi Jinju Yuan, saying that the Jinfeng boat we built with great energy before was not in vain? Please also ask Zhonglang to be considerate and spend some money to buy these boats, anyway, the Salt and Iron Division and the patrol institutes will need ships soon, right.
"Let Zhang Peng handle this matter, and the money spent will be deducted from his three taxes on salt, tea, and wine in the coming year." Gao Yue is very shrewd, he wants to take down the local ship, but he is afraid that the officials who handle it will take advantage of it to make a profit, so he directly contracts it to Zhang Peng, who sentenced salt and iron, and the money spent will be deducted from your "performance", not afraid that you will take the opportunity to embezzle.
Zhang Peng was a little unhappy, but he was even more afraid, he had been angry with Dou Shenxin before, afraid of being purged as a "legacy of poison", and the government and the opposition were rumored that Gao Yue really wanted to abolish him, and Wang Shao would take over the position of the salt and iron transfer department, so Zhang Peng could only go to Zhongshu Province in the end, begging Gao Yue to say: The imperial court stipulates that the salt profit quota in the southeast should reach 6 million yuan every year, and the humble in order to make up for it has been exhausted, and now if you want to buy a ship again, it is really difficult, please allow me to resign from the post of judging salt and iron, Give me an idle state and county to dispose of for the history of the assassin.
At that time, the emperor had consulted Gao Yue, but Gao Yue said that the prime minister was an official who made decisions on the road, not a political official who took care of salt affairs, and he refused and did not say anything.
Now Gao Yue is very straightforward, he flew to the hall to Zhang Peng in the household hall, Wen Yan said: Now the salt tax of the imperial court, relying on the northwest, Hedong, Sanchuan, Kuifu is more than enough, Jianghuai southeast will not need to be so heavy salt profits, I have discussed with the Holy Lord, in previous years, the quota of six million guan, at least half of it was miscellaneous and worthless "light goods" to fill the number, now listen to your proposal, cut half directly, you Zhang Peng only need to hand over three million guan of salt in the next year, but three-fifths of it must be cash, Two-fifths of the silk cloth is of medium and high quality, and there is no light goods.
Zhang Peng, who got this hall, was immediately grateful, and couldn't help but praise Gao Yue, "Huanghuang really has a temple style!" ”
