Chapter 115: A New Dynasty and a New Atmosphere (Part II)

After a series of reshufflings, the students and allies of the Crossing Crowd took control of almost all the local and central powers, and almost all important positions were occupied by them, especially the military power. 59% of the military defense buildings are built by the construction companies under the control of the people, 64% of the logistics and military consumables (foodstuffs, clothing, fuel, maintenance products, etc.) are provided by the light industry group under Chenji, 90% of the arms (hot weapons after refitting) are supplied by the large and small heavy industry groups that are absolutely controlled and relatively controlled by the company, and 100% of the military expenses are provided by the financial system under the control of the people.

This is nothing, and the faster way to grasp all the power is to directly replace all the grass-roots officers with their own people, and the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army, the higher the proportion of people who have passed through the military academies and universities that have been secretly established to serve as grass-roots officers. The special forces divisions with the strongest combat effectiveness are all elites from military academies secretly established in the Huangshui Valley.

The high-level officers and generals are basically the same as their predecessors, retired and retired to retire, and some discerning technical officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties, who are still attached to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Logistics Department, have also returned to the military academy to rebuild and intensify their studies.

It turned out that after the abolition and merger of the Privy Council and many yamen such as the superintendents, the elite cadres will be appointed in a large number of purely technical positions, and will be given high-level treatment that they never dreamed of before, such as a master craftsman who will be a superintendent, a year's salary can only support a family of five, less than 5, and after passing the elimination examination, he will remain in the newly established Military Industry and Ordnance Research Institute as a senior draftsman, with an initial annual salary of 700 Chen base money, which is equivalent to 140 guan or 7 tons of rice; If you pass the grading exam and get the qualification of a Level 6 designer, you can get various grade allowances and in-kind allowances equivalent to 500 Chenji money. This method of buying people's hearts is actually to take a small part of the military expenses (the part of eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood) that were originally embezzled by high-ranking generals and the huge expenses for raising waste and prohibiting the army, so as to attract high-level technical personnel.

For the huge acrobatic troupes that have little value in crossing the public, the level of the elimination (the old and weak who cannot enter the police, armed police, fire and other systems) have been diverted to various emerging industries that need their labor.

Disarmament and co-ordination were carried out simultaneously, and all the generals who resisted, whether they had a long-term cooperative relationship with the Northwest Jiangmen (a border Jiangmen who had a close cooperation with Wang Xinyu and other smuggling groups) or the Beijing Jiangmen, who had intertwined forces, were all placed under house arrest at home for the crime of endangering the security of the empire, and all disobedient were exterminated by the special forces. The early-looking wall-riding faction and the doves basically got a lot of wealth compensation, either hard-to-find land or valuable stocks.

In addition to buying, the secret of mastering the barrel of the gun is more important to ensure combat effectiveness and loyalty through ideological implantation. An army with money and equipment may have combat effectiveness, but an army with conviction must have combat effectiveness. It was with the belief that the Mongols turned the land of the world into pasture that they occupied most of the habitable land in Asia, and it was with the belief of freedom and equality that the Thirteen Colonies persisted in eight years and won the victory.

An army without conviction is of no value to the traversal, so after the personnel and dispatch powers are settled, a large-scale brainwashing propaganda begins. Study and training are organized every day, and 30 percent of the military budget is for munitions, 40 percent is for food, officers' salaries, and the management, storage, maintenance, and maintenance of various equipment and facilities, and the remaining 30 percent is for training the army's various skills and special expenses, such as stationery consumption, books, and other brainwashing necessities, and the time spent every day on learning cultural knowledge and military combat skills is longer than the time spent on drills. In Wang Xinyu's words, it is to raise all the army as officers, and an ordinary soldier can serve as a grassroots non-commissioned officer under the wartime mobilization system, and the number of troops can be easily expanded by 10 to 20 times after emergency mobilization.

The purge of the high-level officials was soon over, and the imperial court quickly realized a smooth transfer of power, and the personnel arrangements and division of labor were also completed for the newly established yamen in each Shenjing and the newly established yamen in the local government. For example, the education bureau established in each county is the institution that manages all schools in the county after the separation of various functions of the county school, and the original county school is changed to the first county middle school. The new functions, such as the newly established energy bureaus in each county, oversee all energy-related industries in the county, and manage the planning, development, construction, protection, utilization, fine chemical upgrading, distribution, transportation, sales and other aspects of ore energy and bioenergy (coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, liquefied gas and electricity in the future, etc.), and are also responsible for supervision and insurance services in related fields.

The new government, which is absolutely powerful in streamlining personnel, has only five cadres in a township who eat imperial grain, a township head, a secretary (meeting deputy), a cook (part-time in the township primary school), a coachman (part-time in the township primary school), and a receptionist. Village-level units are all self-elected and self-managed, and they only need to send people to participate in various training and policy publicity meetings in the county every month.

Taxation is based on the principle of voluntary tax filing, and the principle of tax linkage is adopted for national welfare. In addition to compulsory primary education, family tax bills and other supporting documents are required to go to secondary school and university. Both Medicare and Social Security require tax bills to be graded. Taxpayers' labor income and profits are subject to corporate income tax (the first time), personal income tax (whether it is wages, dividends, interest, patent fees or inheritance, all belong to the second time), consumption tax (the last time before consumption) is equal to three times of repeated taxation, in order to avoid double taxation to adopt the tax law based on turnover tax, the corporate income tax is very light (only 2%, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual significance, for the purpose of statistics and supervision), the personal income tax is also very light (the implementation of progressive tax rate, annual income of more than 300 Chen base money is applicable to 5% The minimum tax rate, the highest tax rate of more than 1 million Chen base money is 35%, regardless of occupation and status, as long as there is income, you have to pay, an ID card can only do one bank/social security account, tax evasion will punish you for bankruptcy), the main income comes from the turnover tax (20%). Basically, most of the government's taxes are levied in places of consumption (supply and marketing cooperatives in rural areas, supermarkets and service establishments in cities), mainly value-added tax and consumption tax. The cost of reforming the tax law was extremely high, and after the 12th year of the Yuan Yu Dynasty, in the first year of the new dynasty, agricultural taxes and various miscellaneous taxes were no longer collected, and the tax revenue plummeted by 2/3, from 150 million guan at the peak of the 12th year of the Yuan Yu period to 50 million guan, accounting for only 25% of the expected revenue and budget.

Treasury revenues account for 40%, most of which are long-term treasury bonds purchased by cross-border partners and partners. (Because of the tax exemption, the average annual interest rate of 12% is very impressive)

As for the income from licenses (various public and private certificates, permits and licenses), transportation fees, income from the monopoly sale of tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar, resource tax, stamp duty, customs duties, gift tax, land value-added tax, and real estate tax, it can only account for 35% of the fiscal revenue.

The establishment of a sound financial system was also very smooth, and the tax reform and the upgrading of the fiscal system were carried out almost effortlessly by the people who had been deduced dozens of times in advance, transforming tens of thousands of low-level officials who had originally exploited the people into businessmen and waiters who exchanged public services for taxes. A set of appraisal systems that conform to the characteristics of the times, combined with supporting systems such as apportionment and industrial and commercial accounting regulations, destroyed the resource allocation model of the old era in one fell swoop, and established a more efficient system that stimulates the passion and initiative of officials.

After getting the gun and the money bag, the printing handle is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

The first edict of the new emperor was to abolish the system and tradition of directly conscripting the people for labor and requisition of property at free or below market prices, the second was to greatly reduce the taxes and burdens on proletarian customers and the main households below the third class (almost all taxes and in-kind assessments were exempted), and the third was to abolish compulsory military service and adopt a high-paid mercenary volunteer system (you can choose to change jobs or retire for a specified number of years, and receive 80% of the annual salary The highest paid pension), the tradition of good men not being soldiers, is smashed.

This series of means of buying people's hearts made countless scholars and doctors who were not optimistic about the new dynasty stunned, and those who said every day that 'the Great Song Dynasty has been raising scholars for a hundred years, there will be loyal and brave people who will rise up and restore, and help the Zhao family to build rivers and mountains again' also had to succumb to this heavy method of smashing people. Complaints from within the Chenji Group and among partners about spending too much money have also disappeared without a trace before the huge effect.
