Article 455 Reinstatement of the new Act 2

Similarly, after receiving Zhao Xu's secret warning, the Taoist temples in the Gyeonggi area had no choice but to stand by and watch during the implementation of the Seedlings Law, but Cai Dao also gave them corresponding compensation.

Because there is a lack of adequate supervision at the local level, and it is impossible for local officials to stay in one place all the time, this will lead to the resignation of people, and the repeated policies will make the people confused, and in turn will disturb the people.

Therefore, with the communication conditions of the Great Song Kingdom today, the Qingmiao Law can only be implemented in the Gyeonggi region.

There may not be many people who have heard of the Dharma.

All the materials needed by the various government yamen in Bianliang City were supplied by the Jingshi Zhuxing. However, when the banks paid for the materials, they had to go through layers of exploitation, and the materials they actually paid were almost ten times more than the materials actually needed by the government and the yamen.

Such a great and benevolent small law was actually abolished by Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu.

However, this time, the exemption law has been changed again.

After the implementation of the exemption law, all people who enter Beijing, whether they are studying, doing business, or visiting relatives, as well as small merchants and vendors in the Gyeonggi area who carry the burden to enter Beijing to sell department stores or vegetables, do not need to pay any money, and merchants entering the city will be charged according to the number of vehicles, and each vehicle will be charged 5 yuan.

One article was included in the inner treasury, one article was included in the three divisions, one document was handed over to the Ministry of Industry, one article was handed over to Kaifeng Prefecture, and the remaining article was handed over to the Ministry of War, as a military salary subsidy for the forbidden army defending the city, which was distributed on the first day of each month and evenly distributed to each soldier on duty guarding the city gate. After all, the prosperity of each gate in Bianliang City is different, so as long as the method of equal distribution is adopted.

This money does not seem to be much, but it depends on who it says, Bianliang City is a world-class metropolis in the world today, and it has gathered millions of people, and the overall consumption power is very amazing. The entrance tax collected on one day alone is a significant amount.

If that penny is evenly distributed to the heads of every forbidden army, it will naturally not be enough, but if it is only divided equally among every soldier on duty guarding the city gate, it can still greatly improve their lives.

However, there are gains and losses.

After the promulgation of the new law, in fact, the losses of merchants who pull carts into the city will be greatly reduced.

Because, as long as anyone receives money, he must no longer make trouble for merchants who enter the city.

No one is allowed to take any supplies from the car, and no one is allowed to charge an extra penny.

If anyone really has that ability, a burden can carry hundreds of pounds of goods, and the forbidden troops guarding the city gate will not care.

It's not that I haven't had my brains crooked.

There was once a businessman who thought he was smart, and when he learned the details of the new law, he played a little trick. Pull the car to the city gate, and then, find a few strong men to carry the goods on the car, and move all the goods into Bianliang City purely by manpower, but his car did not enter the city. Therefore, according to the regulations, there is naturally no need to pay the entrance fee.

The little colonel, who was guarding the city gate, could not make up his mind, so he immediately reported the incident, and when he learned of it, he only said two words, and 'It's all right,' and sent the messenger away.

Now that this new law has been formulated, Zhang Dian naturally thought of a strategy to deal with all kinds of people who want to exploit the loopholes of the new law.

People outside the city can play, and people inside the city can play.

This businessman didn't know that as soon as he made this move, he immediately became blacklisted by the merchants of the capital and various government yamen.

For this newly promulgated exemption law, whether it is in Bianliang City, or the merchants who have gathered from all sides, they all support it from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally no one else is allowed

Sabotage the implementation of the new law. What's more, if this merchant did not pay the entry tax, the other merchants would be unbalanced.

These merchants then drew up an offensive and defensive alliance and issued a ban order against the merchant.

Then the merchant, who pretended to be clever, found that the goods which he had managed to bring into the city could not go far at all, for he could not take care of a single cart that carried the goods to the market, and none of the carriages and horses dared to take his business. However, the carriage and horse dealership run by the government was willing to undertake this transaction, but the price offered was ten times the market price.

This businessman is completely stupid, if he really wants to pay this huge amount of money for carriage and horses, why should he spend so much effort to save less than 20 yuan in the entrance fee to the city!

The gains outweigh the losses!

At this moment, there was an official in Bianliang City who didn't know what kind of official happened to pass by, and when he inquired, he immediately made a decision to buy these goods, and it just so happened that the car he brought was relatively empty, just enough to load all the goods of this merchant.

However, before he could reach the official's mansion, the official's son ran out and knocked out several of the official's back molars with a single slap. Later, a lot of family members rushed out and sent the official family to the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

The businessman was ignorant, and the other party did not take his goods, but directly moved off his cart and drove the car home. That's it.

Fortunately, the goods were still not sold, but his goods were getting farther and farther away from the city gates.

Afterward.........

Later, the people in the entire Bianliang City never saw this merchant in Bianliang City again.

And the official who was implicated for no reason is even more tragic, I have seen an official who was dismissed because of the son of a cheating father, but no one has ever seen an official who was dismissed because of an official family.

However, speaking of which, this official is actually not wronged, because his housekeeper is the brother of a very favored concubine, and he is not very bad, but his luck is too bad. He didn't want to think about it, the goods that the merchant brought into Bianliang City to sell were not bad, but no one went up to inquire about the price.

And why is a carriage and horse dealer willing to undertake this deal?

In the end, the official can only be blamed for his bad luck.

As for the original content of the exemption law, it has also undergone great changes.

Since the promulgation of the new law, the materials needed by the government or the palace are no longer allowed to be provided by the banks, but the government or the palace will send special personnel to the market to purchase them in public and by bidding.

When the two sides hand over, the quality of the goods can be verified before the transaction can begin, and the transaction between the two parties must be both money and goods, and the rules of the transaction cannot be broken because one of the parties to the transaction is the government or the palace. At the same time, the government and the imperial palace cannot replace money with goods, which is also to prevent the tragedy of Du Fu's charcoal seller from continuing to happen.

In addition, during the entire process of the transaction between the two parties, the Imperial Historian must appoint someone to supervise the entire process, and the Imperial History who manages this matter is called the official position of 'Exempt Imperial History'.

In short, taking advantage of this opportunity, the personnel and rights of the Great Song Dynasty have been greatly strengthened. Not only the Imperial History Observatory in the Jingshi, but also the number of officials in the palace and the procuratorate has been greatly expanded, and even locally, all prefectures and counties have also selected some imperial historians to supervise the locality. More importantly, the rights and responsibilities of these expanded imperial histories are also subdivided.

Not only that, the mixing of different kinds was the only way for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to control his officials.

This time, Zhao Xu still adopted an eclectic approach.

Zhu Guangting and Jia Yi of the Luo Party, Zhang Shangying and LĂź Tao of the Shu Party, and a new political party, the Ba Min Party, Shangguan Jun and Cai Wei were all included in the Yushitai, the Palace, and the Procuratorate, and these people all held important positions in them.

Cai Wei is Cai Qu's son and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Feng Jing. Zhao Xu's arrangement is naturally to repay the deceased Cai Qu.

However, out of hatred for the Shuo Party, Zhao Xu did not include Liu Zhi and Liang Tao, who had returned to Beijing for their 'meritorious service', and the entire Shuo Party completely lost the front of the supervisory body. Zhao Xu just promoted the two of them to a third-level Jilu official, and then completely left them idle.

There have also been very big changes in the farmland water conservancy law. The biggest change is that Zhao Xu ordered to take back the right of the state capital and county to build water conservancy projects on their own, and handed them over to the Ministry of Industry.

This is to prevent the local government from indiscriminately collecting money from the people for no reason, and arbitrarily levying conscription without a central order.

Compared with the land endowment, the most harmful to the people is not the various harsh taxes imposed by local officials, but the endless forced labor.

Once the men in the family went to serve in the conscription, the main income of the family would come to a standstill, and in ancient times, the common people did not receive a penny of wages for serving the conscription.

However, the Great Song Dynasty raised so many van troops in various state capitals and counties who couldn't fight, it was better to spend money on these people to serve as conscripts!

However, the imperial court also made it clear that if the governor of the prefecture and county thought that it was necessary to change the local situation and indeed build a water conservancy project, he could write a project report to the Ministry of Industry, and after the Ministry of Industry sent someone to verify it, he would immediately allocate the money and send a craftsman to guide the work of the project.

The Ministry of Industry will not stop the local chiefs from subjectively wanting to benefit the people.
