As for the tax system of Daqian, Zheng Wen feels that it has done a good job on the whole, but the intensity of taxation is not enough, and it is enough to set up a huge tax collection team.

Zheng Wen wants to set up a huge and powerful tax bureau like the United States in later generations, with tax collection force, as long as you have American nationality, you have to pay taxes, no matter where you are, listen to the famous saying of the United States, "Two things that Americans can't escape in their lives, paying taxes and death", how bullish, how domineering! Zheng Wen felt that he was the emperor, so he should have such a domineering tax collection team!

As for the difficulty, it must be very big, but no matter how big it is, for the sake of money, Zheng Wen can do everything!

The more Zheng Wen thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible! If you think about it, when the tax collectors have force, it is very terrible, and in order to collect taxes, they can do more than you can imagine!

At this time, Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walked in from the outside, knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, before he spoke: "Your Majesty, when the minister was raiding the Song Palace, he found that the youngest son of the rebellious Song Ren Zheng Zhao had disappeared. ”

Zheng Wen saw Zheng Yi, and then he said, "Get up!" After speaking, Zheng Wencai got up, paced in the spacious imperial study, and pondered for a while.

Only then did he speak: "I know, find him, spy on him, have a rebellion, kill!" If you have no objection, let him be an ordinary person, after all, he is the blood of the royal family. Zheng Wen said with some emotion.

"No!" Zheng Yi replied firmly.

At this time, Zheng Wen said again: "What are the ministers of the court? Zheng Wen asked seemingly casually.

Zheng Yi heard this, and organized it before he spoke: "Prime Minister Lord Liu smirked in a small room in the Wude Hall today, and after Lord Qin Fei was slapped by Lord Wu, he went back to the house, and drank silently for a while, without saying a word, and finally got drunk!" ”

"As for Lord Wu Yongwu, the Duke of Liao, he went back to his house after today's incident, and he was very excited, and he secretly got drunk alone until he was too drunk to wake up!"

When Zheng Wen heard this, he smiled, and then said: "This martial artist is sometimes so difficult to figure out, what about the others?" ”

When Zheng Yi heard this, he didn't seem to hear Zheng Wen's words, and said unhurriedly: "Wang Yong, the secretary of the ministry, has been in the ministry these days, busy rectifying the work of the ministry. ”

"Yang Bo, the secretary of the household department, is busy with the work of the household department these days, and he has promoted many small officials to temporarily serve as household officials." Saying this, Zheng Yi paused.

"Go on! Listen! Zheng Wen said.

So, Zheng Yi continued to speak: "Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has also been in the Ministry of Industry these days, and he has been discussing the craftsman hierarchy of Daqian with the relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry these days!" ”

"Not bad! Go on! Zheng Wen said again.

"Zhao Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been busy with the affairs of the Ministry of War, and is vigorously rectifying the atmosphere of the Ministry of War!"

"Zhou Kuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is taking the three law divisions to try related cases, and he didn't say anything out of line!"

"As for the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qian Chang......" Zheng Yi paused before he spoke: "Lord Qian Changqian has a good relationship with the new right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Cai Wei, and he said it in front of Cai Wei, hoping that Cai Wei can take over the position of the Ministry of Rites after he retires to his old age. ”

"Huh!" When Zheng Wen heard this, he showed a sarcastic smile, and then he spoke: "I hope that Lord Qian will get his wish!" ”

"That's it for now!"

When Zheng Yi heard this, he didn't say a word, but just stood upright on the ground, waiting for His Majesty's orders.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen thought about it again, and then said: "Go and carefully investigate the person Wang Cheng, the left servant of the household department, you go!" ”

"No!" Zheng Yi responded, saluted Zheng Wen again, and then exited the imperial study.

Zheng Wen felt a little tired and sat back in his chair.

Then the interrupted train of thought thought carefully about what Zheng Wen could think of next, the army and the people.

As for the army, needless to say, there are more than one million troops and a huge number of troops, and it is not possible to change it overnight, and what Zheng Wen can do now is to maintain this huge system as much as possible, and it is enough to ensure this logistics system for them.

And when it comes to people, it's the officials, it's the whole bureaucracy!

The bureaucratic system of the great cadres is divided into two types: officials and officials, which are similar to those of other feudal dynasties.

When a minister or military general is about to retire and has made great contributions, he will be given these three titles by the emperor and let him return to his hometown, which is the highest honor of the minister of civil and military affairs, and cannot be lightly awarded, and less than 100 people have obtained this title so far in the more than 300 years since the founding of the country.

And the young master, the young master, and the young guard are also official positions that belong to the first grade, and they are also fictitious titles, which are relatively widespread in the big cadres, and whenever the important ministers of the court retire, they will be awarded this kind of title, generally the important ministers of the six books will be awarded this kind of title after retirement, or some honest and typical local county guards will be posthumously awarded this kind of title after retirement.

In Daqian, there are only three officials, with the rank of first rank, prime minister, general, and privy envoy; As for the six Shangshu, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the general of the four expeditions, they belong to the official rank of Zheng Erpin; The envoys of the various festivals, the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi, the Dali Temple, the six or so servants, and Zong Zhengqing all belong to the official titles of the second grade; As for the official rank of Zheng Sanpin, it is a bit strange, only the grades of the two positions of the Right Capital of the Inspectorate and the Yin of Yanjing Mansion are Zheng Sanpin, so Zheng Sanpin is also a watershed in the officialdom of Daqian, and the above is called a high-ranking official, and the lower is not a high-ranking official; The local county guards, state ministers, and military envoys are from the title of Sanpin.

As for the four grades, the officials such as the six Langzhong, the county commanders, and the county lieutenants are all of this grade......

The official position of prime minister in Daqian is somewhat unusual, it was established by Emperor Taizu at the beginning of the founding of the country, which is equivalent to the prime minister of other dynasties, and there was only one person at the beginning of the establishment, and he was the second person in Daqian politics, which is not even comparable to the future prince of the prince.

But I don't know why, all the emperors since Taizu have not set up other prime ministers to divide the power, for more than 300 years, only one prime minister has formed a system, although there is no explicit provision, but everyone agrees.

Since Zheng Wen ascended the throne, he found that this system is a little embarrassing, as an ambitious emperor, he wants to monopolize power and achieve self-supremacy in the true sense, this system is a kind of check and balance for him, because the prime minister who has all the power belongs to one person, has achieved a considerable elbow to the emperor!

Because of many things, as long as the prime minister does not agree, it is difficult for Zheng Wen to implement at this time, after all, there are too few people who are close to him, and even if other officials know Zheng Wen's ideas, when there are no specific success stories, even if they will echo it, the specific actions will be greatly reduced, and even if these are implemented, the results achieved are not ideal.

Therefore, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Zheng Wen took advantage of Liu Jian's inattention to set up the cabinet, the biggest purpose of which was to divide the power.

Taking advantage of the erosion of Jiangnan, Zheng Wen took the opportunity to send Liu Jian to Jiangnan, Zheng Wen just took this opportunity to gather some cronies, find some like-minded officials as his own horses, and let them charge forward according to their own will, which is the most correct way for an emperor.

As for going into battle shirtless, for an emperor, once or twice is fine, but every time it is like this, it will cause an estrangement with the courtiers, which is not worth tainting, unless you are prepared to be a "tyrant" in the hearts of the courtiers, subduing them by force, and forcing them to do things for you.

But Zheng Wen thinks in his heart that this kind of approach can only achieve temporary success, not long-term success, after all, your generation of emperors is absolutely strong, but you can't guarantee that the next generation of emperors also have your absolute strength.

As for Zheng Wen, he wants to leave a long-term empire for his children and grandchildren, not to mention eternal life, at least a thousand years of national fortune!

Therefore, Zheng Wen, to implement a certain policy, you can't be absolutely strong, you can only come slowly, step by step, treat the courtiers gently, let this policy influence their thoughts, change their thinking, and let this policy be implemented smoothly.

This is the most common method in politics, politics, that is, people standing in high positions, the constant collision of different ideas between them, and then compromise, forming a resolution, this is politics!

And the most important thing in politics is people, no one can have politics, and these people are officials, in this feudal era, only officials are worthy of politics, and the others are just foils!

And Zheng Wen wants to carry out all kinds of reforms on the big cadres, then these officials are the top priority, and it is impossible for him to turn all the officials into his own people, because all those who carry official characters must have their own selfish motives in this era, or they are simply the spokesmen of other interests, and this kind of thing is normal in this era.

He has his own selfishness, not to mention other people, and what Zheng Wen wants to do is just to unite a group of people around him, form an interest group headed by Zheng Wen, and then influence others, and make more people who stand on his side and fewer people who oppose him, which is enough!

And the current officialdom, the corruption of the officials, made Zheng Wen have a headache and hate it when he heard it, but he said to him that this is just an opportunity, if it is not broken, it will not stand, these officials have fallen, and naturally more officials will get up!

This officialdom is like a big wave sweeping sand, the light ones are washed away by the water, and the heavy ones sink to the bottom!
