New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

Finally, we came to the "deep water area" where the problem was discussed, that is, the setting of Fang Zhen and the issue of the emperor's random micro-manipulation.

Lu Zhen was not afraid of this, and directly asked the emperor to set up another layer of control in each section, that is, the "marshal".

According to Lu Zhen's point of view, in order to deal with Xifan, there is no need to engage in so many square towns, restrain each other, and give different orders, according to what he said, that is, the internal friction situation of "one country, three princes, ten sheep and nine herds", and what about the military system corresponding to Xifan? It is superior to the current military system of my Tang Dynasty, Zampu holds the headquarters army of fifty as sixty-one Dongdai, and then sets up five avenues around the country, each of which sets up a big treatise, and is in charge of conquest and defense, and the training of the army. Therefore, Lu Zhen suggested that I Tang also set up the "Four Generalissimos".

Which four generalissimos, and Marshal Longyou, Marshal Shuofang, Marshal Hedong and Marshal Jiannan.

Among them, Marshal Longyou, Zhangjing Prefecture, Yuanzhou, Fengxiang, Longzhou, Suining and the five prefectures of Hanzhong in Shannan West Road (i.e., the administrative area of Gaoyue);

Marshal Shuofang, Zhanglingzhou, Yanzhou, Xiazhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Gyeongju and Weibei (Dundanfengfang);

Marshal of Hedong, in charge of the Hedong Prefectures and the Zhenwu Army;

Marshal Jiannan, in charge of Xichuan, Dongchuan, and Banan prefectures.

"This marshal, the relationship with the Jiedu envoy ......" The emperor was a little hesitant.

Gao Yue has long seen through the urine nature of this baby, although according to Lu Zhen's plan to set up a marshal, it is indeed conducive to foreign warfare, but the emperor is more afraid that these four marshals are strong and strong, and sooner or later they will be too big to lose.

However, Lu Zhen tried his best to persuade the emperor, in fact, there is a solution, the marshal is not permanent, and at the same time concurrently serves as the festival envoy of a town in the district, and on weekdays during the non-war period, he will govern the affairs of the town in this principle, once it is wartime, His Majesty will personally grant the festival Yue, and lead the various sections in the jurisdiction of the envoy and go out on the expedition, and have the power to dispose of the war, and then abolish it after the war, and the marshal will set up a military supervisor sent by His Majesty to supervise the military discipline, and set up grain for the army to master the military needs, so the appointment and dismissal of the marshal is all in the hands of Your Majesty (such as Marshal Longyou, Your Majesty, you let Duan Xiushi be the captain this time, and you can also let Gao Yue be the observer next time).

In addition, Lu Zhen also tried his best to suggest that if His Majesty is not at ease, the position of marshal can be filled by a minister with both civil and military skills.

"Lu Jingyu's words are very appropriate!" Gao Yue immediately rushed to praise.

This minister who is both civil and military, who will give me anything in the future!

In the end, the emperor hesitated again and again, but he still made a preliminary verbal promise, but it would take time, at least it would not be too late to wait for Tang Fan to turn his face again.

In addition, the emperor said to these four that there is no need to strike the autumn soldiers in one step, it is 40,000 autumn soldiers all year round, and this year I only need Liu Xuanzuo to send 10,000 soldiers and Chen Xianqi to send 5,000 soldiers, and wait until two or three years later, and then completely quit.

Although the emperor had reservations, the four courtiers present still breathed a sigh of relief - this result was a very gratifying progress for them who had been dealing with Li Shi for many years.

However, just as the emperor was about to announce the end of the question, Li Mi got up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister's advice to establish an extension of the treasury has been adopted. Now the ministers are invited to set up another color of money in addition to the branch and salt and iron to fund the country. ”

"Why is this money, please give me advice." The Emperor sat down again.

In fact, this plan has also been brewing in Li Mi's heart for a long time, and he said to you next:

As we all know, since the Su Dynasty, the household department is in charge of the western treasury, and the salt and iron transshipment envoy is in charge of the southeast treasury, and then Yang Yan is the prime minister, and the two tax laws are implemented to recollect the eastern and western financial endowments to the household department; However, after Yang Yan's death, now Han Rong is the naval envoy of Xuanrun Town, and he seized the Jianghuai salt and iron transfer envoy from Bao Ji for his own use, and also collected the various patrol institutes set up by Liu Yan's main wealth.

"When Han Rong moved to Fengtian, he did not send troops to Qin Wang, but demolished the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple, arbitrarily added and repaired the stone city, and hid grain and armor soldiers, which seemed to have a ......" Sure enough, as soon as Han Rong was mentioned, the emperor was sad and angry.

"Alas, Your Majesty—there is no more to say about chasing after the wind and shadows." Li Yu indifferently interrupted the emperor and continued, his pair of Danfeng eyes looked at Li Shi, who was still excited, and the implicit meaning was, do you have a way to bring down Han Fu now?

Soon, the emperor's mood calmed down.

So Li Mi continued:

Since the degree branch and salt and iron can no longer be unified for the time being, you might as well set up another color money, and then the imperial court finances will be divided between the three divisions.

The "one-color money" proposed by Li Mi is the "household money".

In fact, before Li Mi formally proposed the concept of "household money", the funds contained in it already existed in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

The most important source of household money is the seedling money.

The so-called green seedling money, to put it bluntly, is the open field surtax, the Su Dynasty period of the country's economic difficulties, then the people are required to pay an additional 35 wen per mu of land, this is the green seedling money, although the implementation of the two tax law, on the surface in the two taxes do not charge an additional money, but the green seedling money this tax is still retained.

Who is in charge of the green seedlings money, the answer is Yushitai.

That's right, it's the Yushitai who is in charge of the money.

However, in addition to the green seedling money, Li Mi also suggested that the money for the field and the money for the official materials should be included in the "household money".

The concept of vocational field was understood by Gao Yue when he was in charge of Xingyuan Mansion. Gyeonggi's vocational fields were one of the components of the Gyeonggi government, and each state capital also had vocational fields to support foreign officials. However, in the same period of the Su Dynasty, in order to supplement military supplies, Beijing officials and foreign officials were required to pay one-third of the job field rice to the national treasury, and if it was inconvenient to transport, it would be converted into money, which was the "job field money", which later became a rule and is still used today.

In addition, there is also the money of the officials, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were dismissed for committing crimes, or were demoted to "placement outside the staff", the former must have no money, and the latter had most of the money, which was called "the money of the officials", and it was also sent to the treasury.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's calculations, there are 2 million yuan of Qingmiao and Zhitian money every year, 300,000 yuan of official materials, plus 700,000 yuan of money except for Mo money, so a total of 3 million yuan can be obtained.

The emperor asked, these two taxes and Hudou rice have a special control, and the salt and iron transfer envoys in the southeast are in charge, so what about this household money?

"Then set up a warehouse in the household department, which was in charge of the imperial history." Li Mi said.

This suggestion made Gao Yue feel unhappy in his heart.

However, he fell into the hands of the emperor, firstly, the Qingmiao money and the Zhitian money were originally under the management of the imperial history, and secondly, they could use this to win over Dou Shen and isolate Han Huang.

After seeing that the emperor promised to set up the household money, Li Mi was very happy, and promised in front of the emperor: "Please give your majesty a few years to the ministers, and after five years, the household money can be increased to five million, and it will not account for a penny of money in the degree of payment, salt and iron." ”
