Chapter 1275 - The Exemption Money That Makes the Monarch and Ministers Tangled

The suggestion to exempt the official envoys is frightening.

For thousands of years, the official-oriented mentality has made officials rush at the people if they lack anything, and they take it for granted.

If there is no envoy and recruits instead, what can the government still instruct the people to do?

The monarchs in the temple were pondering.

Zhao Ji was already a little impatient, "After changing to a recruitment system, the people will live and work in peace and contentment and concentrate on farming, isn't this bad?" ”

That's good, of course.

Zhao Shu thinks it's very good, but there is a problem.

"Where does the money come from?"

Han Jiang, the third envoy, felt that he would be forced to death by this prince sooner or later, and he sighed: "The number of envoys in the Great Song Dynasty every year is huge, if all of them are exempted and recruited instead, the amount of money required is amazing!" ”

Where does this money come from?

Zhao Shu sighed in his heart, feeling that his son was a little impulsive, but the idea was good. Let's find a staircase for him.

"This matter ......"

"Your Majesty, it's not bad for money!" Zhao Ji said very confidently: "The minister went to ask those rich families, and they hated the servants, but they couldn't exempt ......."

it!

Shen An swore that he had never told Zhao Ji about it.

Did he figure it out on his own?

Shen An was not very impressed when he was thinking about the past and present life of the exempt money, but he remembered that Wang Anshi's new policy was criticized, and the exempt money was also among them.

Why is it criticized?

He didn't know.

"The minister suggests that the exempt money be collected." Zhao said loudly: "But the poor families are all exempted and only collected from the rich. ”

Shen An suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "If it's only from the rich, is it enough?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "If it is not enough, it will be subsidized by the court." ”

Shen An understood, this guy planned to rob the rich and help the poor.

Yes.

If the exemption money is levied according to the household registration, those poor families will be more and more difficult.

How did those people in history attack Wang Anshi's exempt money?

There must be a saying that the country will be brought to the people.

But how did this policy bring disaster to the country and the people?

Shen An didn't know.

But Zhao Ji simply and rudely avoided the civilians and directly robbed the rich to help the poor.

The financial situation of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment is much better than that of Wang Anshi's reform, so he naturally has the confidence to pay for the exemption from military service.

Zhao Shu said: "Only the rich will be willing? ”

"I won't be reconciled." Zhao Ji said: "But Your Majesty, this poor man in the Great Song Dynasty has no place to stand, and the rich are arrogant and lascivious. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and this should have been reconciled. The minister thought that the exemption money was just right. ”

There are really a lot of rich people in the Great Song Dynasty, such as Bianliang, countless restaurants and green buildings, and countless luxuries.

"Is it possible to use exempt money to adjust the gap between the rich and the poor?" Shen An smiled.

This is similar to the personal income tax of later generations.

The richer you are, the more taxes you pay.

Han Jiang said: "There are a lot of places where the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of money, what's the use of just staring at this place? ”

As the third envoy, he looks at the overall situation, so this is true.

Zhao Ji looked at him and said seriously: "The Great Song Dynasty is poor money everywhere, for example, supporting countless officials is poor money, raising countless armies is poor money, and all kinds of inexplicable expenses are also poor money...... But who has asked the people if they can pay for it? ”

The three redundancies of the Great Song Dynasty are, in the final analysis, to serve the huge vested interests.

Everyone shouted so much in the past, what three redundancies are not removed, and there will be no day of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty.

Can it be actionable?

To clear the three redundancies is to cut one's own flesh, who wants to?

As a result, the taxes paid by the people still went to those bottomless pits.

Everyone is numb.

Today, Zhao Ji raised a question in a deafening manner.

- Who has asked the people if they can pay for it?

You keep saying that the Great Song Dynasty is short of money everywhere, and when the money is bad, you will stretch out your hand at the people, regardless of the life or death of the people.

Do you know that the people are out of money?

Have you managed it?

Han Jiang bowed, "The minister is guilty." ”

Although he felt that Zhao Ji's words were inappropriate, he felt ashamed.

As the third envoy, he habitually forgot the sufferings of the people, and only knew how to pay taxes and taxes......

Today's question made his spine warm and his cheeks flushed.

Han Qi sighed: "The king is merciful. That's a great deal. ”

Zhao Shu also nodded and said, "The people are insufficient, and I am ashamed." ”

The common people are having a hard time, and this is the sin of the king.

Zeng Gongliang said: "But will those rich people be willing? Will they collude with the officials to make themselves low-class? ”

It's a given.

Zhao Ji said: "Zeng Xiang's words are reasonable, I am thinking about one thing, if you want to reform the Great Song Dynasty, what is the most important thing to do? I'm thinking of the rulers. ”

"No matter how good the idea is, the new deal that is more considered by the people, but what will happen next?" Shen An said a lot about this question, and Zhao Ji was impressed.

Shen An even compared the rule of officials to the decisive factor in the success or failure of the New Deal.

β€”β€”The officials below are in violation of the yang and yin, and any new policies are nonsense!

It's all!

He said a lot, and Zhao Ji was naturally deeply affected.

"Those officials will disobey the good and the bad, and they will go up and down, and even stab them in the back for the sake of political differences...... In that case, how can the New Deal be done? ”

Shen An wanted to laugh.

Lao Wang's new deal failed, and the officials violated the law and stabbed the knife, at least half of the credit.

"Therefore, the minister thinks that if you want to revive the Great Song Dynasty, the first thing is to rule the officials."

Make the officials obedient, or make them obliged.

This is what Zhao Ji wants to express.

Zhao Shu asked, "What do you do?" ”

"Overseer!"

There is no good way to do this, but to create an environment with a lot of supervision.

"The minister suggested expanding the scale of the Imperial History Terrace, recruiting more imperial histories, placing two imperial histories in each prefecture, rotating them once a year, and not allowing them to be in one place for more than one year, so as to avoid being bought......"

One government puts two imperial histories, does this mean to keep an eye on the officials working?

Too ruthless, right?

Shen An laughed, very gloating.

Da Song is really good to the officials, and now Zhao Ji is coming to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and people are staring at your work, what should I do?

Want to cry?

Hahahaha!

Shen An couldn't help laughing.

Han Qi and the others looked at each other.

This king is too ruthless, isn't he?

"If these imperial histories can't find out the cheats, it will be dereliction of duty."

Zhao Ji added again.

Han Qi smiled bitterly.

The officials below are afraid that they will shout that this day will not be able to live.

Zhao Shu looked at his son and said with a strange expression: "This matter ...... I have to think about it. ”

The idea of free money is good, but it's the New Deal!

There is no doubt that after Fan Zhongyan, the standard of the new deal was to shake the rules of the ancestors.

To reform the errand service is to shake the rules of the ancestors.

In the harem, the weather is good today, and Gao Tao invited Mrs. Cao to consult Zhao Ji's family affairs later.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That Xiang clan heard that it was very chaste and quiet......"

"Zhenjing?" Empress Dowager Cao said disdainfully: "You let Da Lang face a piece of wood all day long, can you live that day?" ”

yes.

Gao Tao thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was a little numb.

"But he is the eldest son of the emperor, and his wife naturally can't be too indulgent."

Gao Tao explained: "Of course, he will have many women at that time, and Xiang is ...... Just make a show. ”

This person......

Empress Dowager Cao felt that her niece was really shameless.

"The official family guards you alone, and you let Da Lang have many women?" Can't we compare our hearts to ourselves?

Gao Tao said eloquently: "He is the eldest son!" The eldest son should have many sons. ”

Empress Dowager Cao smiled, "The first emperor is also a group of women, but what is the result?" If you don't have it, you can't do it, this is fate! ”

Gao Tao saw that his aunt was depressed, so he said, "Where is the song and dance? ”

The only advantage of being in the palace is that the song and dance can be listened to alone and at any time.

Several princesses listened to their brother's family affairs for a while, and they all felt that the woman was so pitiful.

Zhao Qianyu muttered: "Do you have to quarrel with many women when you get married in the future?" That's annoying. ”

Princess Shoukang said with a sad face: "If you really want that, it's better not to marry." ”

"We're not married." The eldest princess Dening said, "Princess Shang, do you understand? ”

Zhao Qianyu nodded and said listlessly: "It's just good." ”

The song and dance came, the music was melodious, and the dancing was moving.

The most noble women in the palace are here, and the musicians have done their best to perform all kinds of musical instruments exceptionally well.

Gao Taotao and Empress Dowager Cao also collected all kinds of thoughts and looked at them with a smile.

Beep......

At this moment, a sharp sound of music came from next door.

Ay!

Gao Taotao and Empress Dowager Cao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

The musicians played freely, but the tune was gradually drifting off.

The dancing posture of the dancers gradually became untenable, and one of the dancers fell down with a sigh, and it was over.

Those musicians blushed and pleaded guilty, and Gao Tao said with a smile: "The official family's attainments in suona are the first in the world, and it is understandable that you can't wait......

The musicians nodded, but they wanted to vomit blood in their hearts.

The sound of the suona is too sharp, and as soon as it comes out, it is an indomitable momentum, which can be called a hooligan in the musical instrument industry!

Gao Tao listened carefully, "The official family seems to be in a good mood, but he is a little troubled. ”

Empress Dowager Cao frowned and said, "You are in a good mood for a while, and troubled for a while, is this a mistake?" ”

"Yes." Gao Taotao is the queen, and she is the master of the harem, but the one in front of her is her nemesis.

The identity of the aunt is one layer, and the identity of the queen mother is one layer, and the two identities are superimposed, and Gao Tao can only kneel.

The key is that Empress Dowager Cao's skills are too good, last time Gao Tao saw her go to the roof in public and cut down the rebel with a knife, which can be called thunder and lightning all the way......

I can't afford to mess with such an aunt!

"The official family is here."

Zhao Shu came out and saluted the Empress Dowager Cao.

"The queen said that you are in a good mood, but why are you depressed?" Empress Dowager Cao felt that Zhao Shu was not bad, at least there were not so many flowers.

"Da Lang said something earlier, and I and the ministers were a little surprised."

"What?"

The Great Song Dynasty is very strange, on the one hand, it is not uncommon to say that the servants are not allowed to interfere in politics, but it is not uncommon for the harem to interfere in politics.

The most typical is that the Queen Mother hangs the curtain and listens to the government.

So the Empress Dowager Cao asked about political affairs, but Zhao Shu was still not disgusted, "Da Lang said that the people pay too much tax. ”

"It's heavy." Empress Dowager Cao sighed: "The tax cuts of all dynasties are all virtuous politics, and the Great Song Dynasty is thriving at the moment, and you can consider the official family." ”

"Yes." Zhao Shu solemnly said, "He suggested turning the errand into recruitment. ”

"Where's the money?" Empress Dowager Cao's reaction was the same as that of Zaifu, and the first thing she thought of was money.

Zhao Shu said: "He suggested that he collect exemption money from the rich households, plus some subsidies from the DPRK and China, so that the poor people can get rid of the trouble of being forced labor...... I just went to ask, and the officials below called the people to serve, often for half a year and a year, and the fields at home were all deserted. ”

Empress Dowager Cao frowned and said: "I remember that the old man went to the countryside when he was a child, and at that time he saw a lot of farmers who did not cover their bodies, and the fathers said that they were reluctant to dress, but later the old man knew that they were all poor." ”

Zhao Shu smiled bitterly.

As an emperor, this is his fault.
