Kublai Khan, the leader of the Tatar bandit group, was particularly satisfied with Boyan, who had come to report on his work, especially in the current situation, when the coalition forces had arrived just in time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Dissonance began to arise in the Tatar bandit group------ some nobles began to complain.

In fact, everyone hasn't shared the spoils for a long time------ which is really dissatisfying, and everyone comes out desperately to share the spoils on the ground!

Fortunately, there are Song dogs' annual tribute that can be used for a top, and there are also trades with Song dogs to earn some money.

Pingzhang Ahmad offered an idea at this time, he said to the big boss Kublai Khan that he would clean up the corrupt officials and vigorously promote the "manager law"!

The manager method, also known as the "hook method", is a means of financial auditing.

Pingzhang Ahmada sent personnel to various places to liquidate money valley and other items to prevent the concealment of the powerful and the corruption of officials.

For example, there are those who pass off ripe fields as wasteland to avoid paying taxes, there are those who conceal their household registration to avoid discrepancies, and there are also those where rich people buy poor people's land but still have the poor people pay taxes...... Actually, this is not important, because due to the corruption of various administrative officials, the current fiscal deficit is huge, and the national treasury is no longer able to make ends meet.

If this manager law is used to crack down on corrupt officials, it will not only increase fiscal revenue and meet the needs of the military expenses of the big boss Kublai Khan, but will also be used as a means to make up for the financial deficit and loot wealth...... Of course, if you can use this to hit your opponent again, then why not?!

In the past, his financial work was mainly to increase his income by cleaning up his household registration, implementing a monopoly system, and issuing banknotes, but now it seems that the results are not very good...... The intended purpose was not achieved.

He privately sent someone to find out, and now in addition to the factors affected by the war, there are also some corrupt officials from all walks of life who are enriching their own pockets, and some of the money figures are outrageous!

Heizhang Ahmad dared to launch such a large-scale campaign because his political position was secured.

Also in the first month of 1270, when Shangshu Province was just established and abolished the state envoy department, the great leader Kublai Khan appointed Ahmad as the governor of Pingzhang Shangshu.

Ahma's man was originally a resourceful and eloquent man who was conceited in order to obtain utilitarian benefits and benefits, and the officials had to praise him for his ability.

Kublai Khan, the big boss at the time, was anxious to make the country rich, so he tried to let Ahmad take full charge of the finances, and the results were not bad.

At that time, Ahma, the representative of the financial management faction, and the prime ministers of the Han faction, Xianzhen, Shi Tianze and others repeatedly argued.

However, economic problems were the biggest problem at the time, and people in Ahma repeatedly used economic reasons to bring others to their knees...... Of course, Kublai Khan, the big leader, also supported him, and gave him political power, and obeyed his words.

At that time, the Hanfa faction was obviously weaker than the financial management faction, and at this time, Ahmad vigorously promoted his own people, and many officials often did not go through the preparation of the ministry, did not consult the Zhongshu Province, and even promoted them while sick......

The officials of the color eyes were arrogant for a while!

The main member of the Hanfa faction, Prime Minister An Tong tolerated it for a long time, and later played Kublai Khan and said:

"Your Majesty recently said that all the Shangshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Historical Observatory should each perform to the emperor according to the usual system, and that the major affairs should be agreed upon by the ministers and others before they are played, and the Holy Decree has allowed it.

Now all the things in Shangshu Province are directly played, and it seems to go against the minister's previous report to the emperor......"

Kublai Khan, the great leader, said: "What you said is indeed true. Could it be that Ahmad dared to do this because I trusted him? It is not right for him not to consult with you, but do as you say. “

However, at this time, Pingzhang Ahmad quibbled: "No matter how big or small, all matters should be appointed to their subordinates, and the subordinates should choose the personnel they appoint, so that the treasury will be sufficient." ”

The big boss Kublai Khan thought about it and thought he was right...... At that time, finance was the top priority!

However, unfortunately, their sea route was blocked by overseas pirates, which was a major blow to the financial faction, especially after many colorful merchants fled, and the financial faction lacked important support!

The sea route is the life channel of wealth management...... At this time, the Hanfa faction began to exert its strength.

Prime Minister An Tong took the opportunity to play and said:

"Most of the subordinate officials appointed by Ahma, Zuo Cheng Xu Heng thinks that most of them are inappropriate, but he has already received a holy decree for him to consult the Zhongshu Province to declare, if he does not give it, I am afraid that there will be other things in the future.

The competence of the person he appoints should be tested, and it will become clear over time. “

The meaning of this is obvious, the current financial mess, isn't it related to the arbitrariness of Pingzhang Ahma and the unfavorable appointment of officials?!

While the big boss Kublai Khan was pondering, Prime Minister An Tong requested:

"From now on, only serious crimes and transfers to the head of the road will be placed under the management of his subordinates, and the rest of the affairs will be handed over to Ahma, so that the responsibilities of the matter can be clear."

The big boss Kublai Khan agreed to his request...... The strength of the Hanfa faction this time is ready to take advantage of the financial disadvantage to cut off the responsibilities of the financial faction first, and then strike them one by one!

In 1273, Pingzhang Ahma appointed his son Huxin as the governor of Dadu Road and the governor of Daxing Prefecture.

At the same time, he joined forces with Zhang Hui and relied on the power of the prime minister to do business, so as to exhaust the best interests of the world...... But An Tong believes that by doing so, he has seriously poisoned the people, leaving them desperate and having no place to appeal.

When Pingzhang Ahma heard about this, he said, "I am dedicated to doing things for the emperor, and whoever made up these words, the subordinates will have to debate with him in the court." ”

The right prime minister, An Tong, saw that he was fighting, so he made the first move, and said:

"Zuo Sidu of Shangshu Province is Zhou Xiang, Zhongmu seeks huge profits, and the crime is very clear."

This person was brought up by Heizhang Ahma...... Kublai Khan, the chief leader, said unhappily: "A person like this should be publicly dismissed after the expropriation is completed." ”

At this time, Pingzhang Ahma decided to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign, which could increase fiscal revenue and counter the blow of the Hanfa faction...... At the moment, after all, finance is the top priority of everything, and maybe you can quickly accumulate a military spending!

Kublai Khan, the big leader, hesitated a little, because it is not easy to have a relatively stable situation at the moment, and will the anti-corruption cause undue turmoil? !

Pingzhang Ahmad advised:

"In recent years, due to the collection of goods at the cost of military use, the reduction and exemption of taxes on the common people, and the abolition of the transfer officials, and the fact that the governors of various provinces are also in charge of collecting taxes according to the amount, the state has not used it enough.

His Majesty thought that it would be better to check the number of household accounts first, and to return those who were far away to those who were near, and to set up a capital transfer envoy to estimate that the situation would increase the amount of taxes in the past.

Second, the accounts of the various governors should be checked to prevent them from being emboldened and greedy in private, and honest and capable officials can be selected to handle the matter separately.

Third, iron should be smelted and cast by the public and private sectors, and the monopoly should be set up by the government; It is still forbidden for all kinds of people to make bronze objects privately.

If this is the case, the people's financial resources will not be exhausted, and the state's resources will be sufficient. ”

Kublai Khan, the big leader, thought about it and immediately agreed, because the campaign was only operated at the bottom, and did not move fundamentally, especially without touching the core leadership level of the Tatar bandit group, so he approved his proposal.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty government, under the implementation of Pingzhang Jia Yidao, implemented the "planning law" to fight corruption in the army; The Tatar bandit syndicate, under the banner of Pingzhang Ahma, implemented the "manager law" among low-level officials to fight corruption.

In fact, the accounts of local officials are very easy to check.

In the early days of the big boss Kublai Khan's ascension, the officials at all levels in the group did not have any money, which was tantamount to openly asking them to extort the people and enrich them with corruption.

This has seriously affected the normal ruling order and is a major problem that needs to be resolved urgently.

Therefore, as early as 1263, Ahmad had made a decree to reduce the number of prefectures and counties and to stipulate the number of officials, to give them official positions and to grant public land, and to calculate the month and day to evaluate the merits.

But it didn't work.

It was not until three years later, when Ahma served as the envoy of the state that he officially stipulated the salaries and occupations of the officials of the capital, the prefecture, the prefecture, the county, and the department.

Seven years later, the rank of officer was stipulated, and it was gradually detached from the system of the bandit mountain king and began to be regularized.

After that, although there was a temporary suspension of the government and the reduction of the official salary, the official salary system was established as an important system.

At this time, it is no longer legal to extort people and embezzle money.

But in fact, the anti-corruption has continued, as early as 1267, the daimyo Lu Daru Hua Chi Ailu, the governor Zhang Hongfan and others embezzled official money, and were dismissed.

At present, Pingzhang Ahmad has only stepped up its anti-corruption efforts. (To be continued.) )
