Li Shimin directly began to scold the official of the Sixth Ministry, and directly and unceremoniously began to scold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Because after Li Shimin knew about this incident, this Datang would leave a laughing stock that would be enough to talk about for hundreds of years, and maybe even thousands of years would not be outdated. This official of the Sixth Department of the Tang Shangshu Province actually fought by himself, and he was fighting in a group here, and if it was spread out, it would be shocking. Such a thing was recorded in the history books, and Li Shimin, the emperor, was also disgraced. Is this a Datang official or a gangster, if you don't know, you still think that Datang officials are all gangsters! At this moment, those who claimed to have read poetry and books tore off their faces and started beating directly. This kind of thing is simply rare in a thousand years, and in front of the emperor, in this Taiji Palace, a full martial arts was staged, and this joke is enough to spread thousands of years later.

"Bastard, the officials of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, they actually quarreled over some money, what do you think? Isn't it just some money? Aren't they all my Tang officials, so you can't be humble? Back then, Kong Rong made pears, I think you all know about it, right? What is it like? Li Shimin scolded.

Shi Bufan also complained in his heart: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you, the emperor, don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" You are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and our six officials are all your courtiers, so no matter who the money falls into, in fact, it is just your left hand to your right hand, or your right hand to your left hand, there is no difference at all. ”

Of course, Shi Bufan knew why Li Shimin was angry, and these subordinates actually quarreled and even fought over some financial budgets, so that he, the lord of a country, was also disgraced. But Shi Bufan is also helpless in his heart, this is also different positions and different thinking, and the same sentence is still the same - the ass determines the head.

Li Shimin is the emperor, and the six ministries are all his courtiers, so he naturally doesn't care who the money is, no matter who it is, it is actually still in his hands in the final analysis. But the officials of the six ministries are different, the officials of the six ministries really ask for money! As a province of Shangshu, it is responsible for specific administrative work, and it is not possible to do it without money. Even a family is a poor couple, and they can't do anything without money. For a government department, only with sufficient financial resources can it implement the policy and do what it wants to do well. With money, we can execute government affairs perfectly. The perfect execution of government affairs is the capital for the promotion of officials. If you don't have money, you don't have enough money, so of course everyone will have to fight. This is an extra 50 percent of the annual budget, which is enough for government officials in any country to fight.

It is not uncommon for these officials of the six ministries to fight in groups, but it is very normal. Shi Bufan is sure that if any of the country's budgets suddenly increased by 50 percent in the future, those government ministries would definitely fight for the budget as well. People are not rich without windfalls, such a large windfall, if you don't eat as much as possible, how can you do it? As a department official, you naturally have to make profits for your own department, otherwise who will listen to you in the department! Department leaders who cannot protect the interests of the department and cannot safeguard the interests of the department will be dismissed at least by their subordinates. This kind of truth can be found everywhere, and there is trade protectionism between countries, and the local government will also have localism, local protectionism. There is even a "standardism" among departments, and this kind of "standardism" of departmental interests is absolutely unavoidable after the existence of various government departments. Some departments are naturally rivals, such as the financial departments and central banks of various countries, which are absolutely natural rivals that cannot be resolved, regardless of who is in charge.

Don't think that there was no one in ancient times, there were still in ancient times, this kind of thing is the same in ancient and modern times, and it is in the same vein. Being in this department, that's what you can't help yourself. On the contrary, the emperor is different, anyway, these departments are his courtiers, what is he anxious about? This Li Shimin scolded here, obviously standing and talking without backache. is not only extraordinary, in fact, many officials complain about him in their hearts, identity determines position, and this cannot be changed.

"Okay, I have an idea about the financial power of this criminal department. I have decided that from now on, the Simen Division will only be responsible for the major gates and gates of the country, and will not be responsible for continuing to collect taxes. In the future, the access control and taxation will be separated, and the tax revenue of the city gates will be separated, and the right to collect taxes will not be the sole responsibility of the Simen Division, which will be specially separated. Li Shimin said.

After Li Shimin's words, many officials of the Criminal Department turned green, and Li Shimin understood that he wanted to deprive the Criminal Department of financial rights. The Criminal Department is the department responsible for judicial work, with some auditing and checkpoint work at most, but its main responsibility is not to be responsible for finance. If the judiciary is in charge of the finances, this is nothing. This is tantamount to letting the judicial department grasp the financial power, and the power of the judicial department will expand itself, which is not in the interests of Li Shimin, the emperor, and will cause an imbalance of power. As an emperor, the first thing to do is to balance the interests of all parties, and not to let one department have too much power. The emperor is still eager to decentralize power, how can it be possible for the Criminal Department to not only be responsible for justice, but also have such huge financial power.

However, Shi Bufan's face is also very bad, what does Li Shimin mean by this? This deprives Simen of his financial rights, which means that his financial rights have also left. Shi Bufan attaches the most importance to financial power, Shi Bufan knows very well that financial power is the most important weight to restrain power, and as a political regime, it seems that there are many departments. But in the final analysis, it is nothing more than several personnel rights, military powers, and financial powers, and these three things complement each other. Personnel power can determine the selection of military officers, and it is also an important power that determines the future of officials, while financial power is the foundation for maintaining the foundation of the army and is also the basic guarantee for carrying out government affairs. As for the army, it is the guarantee for maintaining the stability of the regime, and these three are an iron triangle, and if any link is missing, it will not work.

An army without the support of wealth is doomed to collapse, and even if it has personnel power, it will not be able to govern without wealth. These three complement each other, and it is impossible to leave anyone alone. Any wise ruler will understand that financial power should be collected as much as possible, and whoever holds financial power will be largely restrained by it.

Even if it is a company, the boss can let go of any right, but the use of human rights and financial rights has always been very strict. This is not unreasonable, financial power and personnel power are the most important powers, and they cannot be easily lost. Li Shimin is unwilling to give financial power to the Criminal Department, so it is not good for them.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the military department must obtain a part of it, so that it can be guaranteed in foreign wars in the future." Li Jing said.

However, Li Xiaogong hurriedly said: "Li Jing, what do you mean by this, do you want the army to control the financial power?" ”

Li Shimin also frowned, the army has financial power, but it is a taboo for those in power! Even in the 21 st century, why does the central government repeatedly prohibit the military from doing business, and all production and business activities? In addition to preventing ********, there is also another reason that is not suitable for explicit, that is, they do not want the military to control the financial power themselves. It would be terrible if the army could one day become "self-sufficient". The armed forces must not be allowed to have any financial power independent of the government, and once the armed forces are "self-sufficient," it will either be a military clique interfering in politics, or the country will be divided.

The fact that the army is unable to grasp financial power is a reason that many people understand, and Li Shimin certainly understands. Li Jing's words have simply touched Li Shimin's backlash.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean that, the minister means to let the civilian officials of the military department join, not to let the army join in person. The military department is also a civilian official, not a military general! Li Jing said.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, the army cannot have independent financial power, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will inevitably perish.

"Your Majesty, we also need money from the Ministry of Industry...... "We all need money......"

When Li Shimin deprived Simen of his financial rights, everyone knew that he should go to Li Shimin to ask for money. But there are still people who don't want to let go of this hen that lays golden eggs.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that this annual income of more than 100,000 yuan should be handed over to our household department, right?" Han Zhongliang said.

Han Zhongliang, the secretary of the household department, immediately made the criminal department very unhappy when he said this, just now Han Zhongliang was already a public enemy of the criminal department, even if the criminal department cheapened this financial power, it could not be cheapened.

"Your Majesty, although our Division is not responsible for collecting money, it also has to enter our Criminal Department Division and has some decision-making power, right? What's more, the Criminal Department not only has a Division, but also a Department of Comparison, which is responsible for auditing the expenses of the imperial court. Shi Bufan hurriedly spoke.

Zhang Xingcheng also sang and said in harmony with Shi Bufan: "Your Majesty, our ministry is responsible for reviewing the expenses of various government affairs of the imperial court, and we should also join the audit." ”

Hearing that the Criminal Department was going to join, everyone began to snatch the ranks of financial power again, and they didn't want to let go of this big hen that could lay golden eggs. Once again, the situation was almost messed up.

"Stop me, whoever dares to quarrel again will be dismissed!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Everyone stopped, and then Li Shimin asked: "Shi Bufan, you made this matter out of it, you can solve it yourself!" ”

"I'll go, Li Shimin, you're really shameless as an emperor, let me be the backstabber! Blame me for this? Shi Bufan complained in his heart.

Shi Bufan began to search for a way to scrape his stomach, and now this financial power is not only a fragrant dumpling, but it is also a hot potato! It seems that the Criminal Department will not be able to keep this financial power, and if the Criminal Department still wants this financial power, it will inevitably be "beaten" by all the departments of the imperial court. So you have to throw this financial power out, but everyone else seems to understand this truth, this is a hot potato. No matter who takes it, it will also be besieged by various departments. Everyone wants it, but the question is who wants it, and it may not be able to hold it, and it will not be besieged by various departments at that time.

"Your Majesty, it's better to do this, we might as well set up a Datang budget committee member Hu and let each ministry appoint a commissioner over, so that everyone can discuss and solve it together at that time. The so-called committee means that the members meet together. The so-called commissioner, that is, the department appoints a commissioner to be in charge of this matter. Of course, this appointed commissioner can actually be part-time, and he will come to a meeting before each budget to discuss the budget of my Datang. If there is really something that cannot be disputed, then it will be resolved by vote, one person, one vote, and the minority obeys the majority, what do you think? However, the collective decision on the budget, when the time comes, the basket is poked, and everyone bears it together, and it cannot be that because of the opposition at the time, there is no need to take responsibility. Committee, collective leadership, collective commitment. Shi Bufan said.

After listening to this plan, everyone quickly came to a conclusion in their hearts.

"This guy and the mud!" Many people thought to themselves.

In fact, this committee system is essentially just "harmony and mud". Since the departmental interests of various departments cannot be reconciled, it is simply better to make peace with the mud, directly form a committee, and then everyone will send a representative to discuss, and then vote to solve it, and the minority obeys the majority, which is the fairest. Of course, this committee system is essentially just a means of reconciling contradictions with the mud. The members of the committee are equal, so everything is well resolved. When formulating the budget, everyone votes according to their own ideas, and the minority obeys the majority.

However, the committee system is not useless, although there is an element of harmony, but it also contributes to the separation of powers. Decentralizing power also reduces the chance of making mistakes. Because this committee system is a method of short-term wisdom of one person and long-term wisdom of others, there are pros and cons to each committee system, but it is possible in peacetime, and it is a great help to avoid making mistakes.

Sure enough, Li Shimin, the emperor who has always wanted to divide the financial power, raised his hands and feet in agreement.

"Okay, that's it, set up a Datang budget committee, and each ministry will send someone to serve as this 'member', and everything that involves the budget must be discussed by the budget committee." Li Shimin hurriedly said.

Of course, Li Shimin does not want financial power to be concentrated and further divided, so this is the most appropriate. Excessive concentration of financial power, Li Shimin's brain has not yet entered the water! This committee system is inseparable from each other, and since it is separated, it is still disconnected, which can not only reassure Li Shimin, but also prevent the financial power from being too scattered and not conducive to unified management. Therefore, Li Shimin of course understood the advantages of the committee system, and quickly agreed to it. But then, there will also be a new game about the selection of this budget committee.
