Chapter 222: Taxes and Bag Dumping
The establishment of the Dinghai Navy did not have much impact on the court, because the training of the crown prince had already begun, and Renzong specially found a palace and carried out simple repairs as a place for the crown prince to live and study, and it was very generous to let them go home once in 2 months.
If you don't go home, just in the palace, you can't fight, and in this matter, you get a benefit, which makes this fight even more intense.
In 2 months, in the classroom, they can learn things, but more of a competition, ignorant children may not understand, their families do, give them the opportunity to go home.
Regarding the choice of teachers, there are even more, in the entire Renzong Dynasty, the literary stars are bright, any Zaifu can be called a knowledgeable Confucian, who has served, and even once served as a Zaifu, dozens of people, plus a bachelor of waiting, a bachelor of Hanlin, a bachelor of Qinggui, and more.
More than a dozen teachers as candidates, plus some cutting-edge Hanlin, in short, this lineup is extremely luxurious.
In this case, a barren land, an island hanging overseas, the establishment of a fixed navy, and the possession of certain military and political rights, did not attract the attention of many people at all, and no one even noticed the appropriation of funds.
When the final will was drafted, Zhang Dexiang still discussed it with Ye Qingchen, mainly on the issue of tax collection raised by Ye Qingchen.
In Ye Qingchen's view, since the army was established, the Northern Song Dynasty did not attach much importance to the management of the army, and did not interfere in the military and political rights, which did not mean that it did not care about him, and a large part of the military state would be placed in the military state itself, and it would still have to pay a little tax.
For example, the Yongning Army needs to pay 300,000 guan in taxes and 70,000 guan in taxes every year to provide to the nobles who have been canonized to the Yongning Army, and other military states vary according to their size.
Hearing Ye Qingchen's words, Zhang Dexiang had a twitch, this Ye Qingchen is really a shaft, what kind of place is this, a barren island in Haizhou, even if 300,000 yuan is given, what will it develop into in the end, it's really hard to say, this hasn't started construction yet, you have to collect taxes, aren't you blocking the emperor?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Dexiang said: "Daoqing, you see, the initial creation of the Navy is inevitable!" ”
Ye Qingchen said seriously: "This is the foundation of the country, and it is impossible to avoid it!" ”
"Then what do you say!" Zhang De was like a headache, so he simply didn't say anything, and spread his hands.
Seeing Zhang Dexiang picking a son, Ye Qingchen was also helpless, if he was really rigid, he wouldn't be able to do this position, the plan of the Northern Song Dynasty sounds very good, but in fact, it is in charge of the financial power of the Northern Song Dynasty, but now, the Northern Song Dynasty is not easy to make ends meet, this housekeeper is not easy to be, if it is not a deduction here, where to reduce a little, if you want to stabilize the finances, it is impossible.
But now who is in the Dinghai, Zhao Xin, Renzong's only child, in order to Dinghai, is almost shirtless, what else can not be done.
"Forget it, I'll submit it to Renzong, let the emperor decide!" Ye Qingchen finally made such a choice, Zhang Dexiang also breathed a sigh of relief, Renzong handed over the matter to him, if there was really any problem, he didn't want to escape from it, he was the prime minister, and he could be held accountable for any problems.
Soon, the will for the establishment of the Navy was determined, 300,000 guan was not shown in the will, only 150,000 guan, and the rest will be transferred through the three divisions in the name of severance pay, and part of the center will be filmed down, and the other part will be supplemented by the place where the army belongs.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, for the Xiang army itself, the abolition was a catastrophic thing, but for the local government, it was a good thing, especially in some places where the Xiang army was stationed, and a large part of the finances were occupied by the army.
In principle, the set tax is 50,000 kan per year, but it is exempt from tax for five years, and after five years, it depends on the situation.
To put it bluntly, Renzong also understands that it is impossible not to give a penny at all, the border military states of the Northern Song Dynasty have never had this precedent, it can be less, which is also the fundamental reason why Renzong was finally positioned as 50,000 guan, and he also made a tax exemption for five years, only depending on the situation.
As long as Renzong is in power, if he finds a little reason, he can waive this money, which is also the fundamental reason for Ye Qingchen's bitter face, because he can see Renzong's intentions.
I want to fight for 50,000 yuan, because the border military states are at least more than this number, but the border military states are not small enough to determine the navy, and they are still such a barren place outside the picture.
Soon, the will was issued, and at the same time, through the 800-mile expedited, they were sent to Huainan East Road and Haizhou respectively, as for the Xiang army and craftsmen, the order had already been issued, and they would send the personnel to the Dinghai Navy safely in batches in accordance with the requirements of the Dinghai Navy.
Huainan East Road Transfer Division, the transfer made Cheng Qian a little depressed, during this time, there were several places on Huainan East Road that were affected, and the transfer department was basically exhausted, and there was no way but to call for help, but the fold had been sent for ten years, and it had not yet been approved, and Sun Ji represented the appearance of Zhao Xin, which made him a little depressed.
Miao Ding is Zhao Xin's identity, he knows it at this level, and he is also very careful, he has to obey all the requirements of Baozhou Hou, and he has never thought of offending him.
However, today, he received a decree from the center, and he thought that it was a disaster relief strategy, but he didn't expect that he would actually divide Yuntaishan Island in Haizhou and set up a separate navy, Baozhou Hou Miaoding, transfer Dinghaihou, and set up a navy festival.
Yuntai Mountain Island he knows that Haizhou is a very remote island, a few years ago when the disaster relief, he also approved a few thousand stone of grain, it was divided, whether it was Haizhou or Huainan East Road, there was no problem, which was equivalent to removing a burden.
But Cheng Qian's heart was even more depressed, what does this mean? Could it be that disaster relief is no longer available?
However, behind the will, there is also a letter from the three divisions, the relationship between the transfer department and the three divisions is close, whether it is the transfer division to escort the tax, or the three divisions to return and allocate according to the proportion, it is a direct connection, Cheng Qian and Ye Qingchen, also worked together in Shaanxi, this time to ask for money, in addition to the formal procedures, in addition to the request to the central government, he also sent a letter to Ye Qingchen.
In his opinion, Ye Qingchen manages the finances, as long as the finances are there, maybe he can do a favor, say a word, maybe it will be approved.
But no, on the contrary, it is a place where birds don't, and the established Dinghai Navy, the center directly gave 50,000 guan, and the follow-up 100,000 guan.
Could it be that the victims who are waiting to be fed are allowed to rebel and rebel?
Cheng Qian was angry for a while, but he still knew the depths, and Baozhou couldn't compare to him, thinking that this letter should also be written to him by Ye Qingchen to dissuade him.
After opening it, he found that this was not the case, Ye Qingchen said in detail, why didn't he give him the reason for approval, because there was no money in the finance, this was not perfunctory, but certain, the Baozhou mutiny, the drought in Shaanxi, plus bits and pieces, of course, the establishment of the Dinghai Navy is also an aspect.
At the end of the letter, Ye Qingchen made a suggestion, that is, even if the navy did not have this money, this money would not reach Huainan East Road, because in terms of sequence and safety, there was more urgency than him.
Cheng Qian also knew that he was just holding the idea of what to do, and Ye Qingchen helped, now, Ye Qingchen clearly informed him of the result, and he calmed down, it is better to do it in a down-to-earth manner than what to do so much, he began to think about what method to use to solve this problem, it seems that raising donations from wealthy households may be able to alleviate it, as long as he has spent these few months, when the summer grain is harvested, most of the problems can be solved, and the most difficult thing is these few months.
Just as he was about to close the letter, Cheng Qian suddenly found that there was still a page below, and there were still unfinished things, not all of them.
Ye Qingchen's letter always has to be read, Cheng Qian opened the letter without hesitation, and sure enough, there is a page below, but this page is very simple, it seems that Ye Qingchen is also more hesitant, which can be seen from the handwriting, which proposes a solution for Cheng Qian.
The method is very simple, it is almost impossible to get funds from the center of Huainan East Road, so why not find Zhao Xin to give it a try, it can be seen from the Xiang army and craftsmen that Zhao Xin is very short of people, so throw the victims to him, or throw some of the victims to him, maybe it is a solution to the problem.
Cheng Qian's eyes lit up, he just complained, why did Zhao Xin get more money than him, put tens of thousands of guan and a lot of food, like Yuntai Mountain Island, where birds don't, isn't it a waste?
But Ye Qingchen is still a little more far-sighted, Zhao Xin put Dinghai on Huainan East Road, this is an opportunity, at present, the entire Northern Song Dynasty political arena, with a lot of money and grain in his hands, I am afraid that only Zhao Xin is the only one, don't look for him to find anyone.
At the same time, Ye Qingchen pointed out Zhao Xin's needs, and even aimed at the Xiang Army, in order to obtain the manpower of the Xiang Army, he did not even accept the Xiang Army without severance pay, but the center gave part of the money that was originally used for the Xiang Army to the Xiang Army.
According to the standards of the Northern Song Dynasty, some of the people who were affected by the disaster, unable to live, in order to avoid the eventual rebellion, they could be incorporated into the Xiang Army, which may be used by each other, although the victims of the disaster could not be compared with the Xiang Army, but the victory was in the number of people, Huainan East Road was affected, there were almost 140,000 people, plus some semi-affected, up to 300,000, or even 400,000, maybe this has been discussed.
Ye Qingchen didn't know that his simple proposal made Cheng Qian's brain open and he was ready to push the victims to Zhao Xin, but Zhao Xin didn't realize that he had made a naval plan and had made great progress, and at this time, he was choosing a site for the first fortress.
