Chapter 0116: Audience in the East Pavilion
Tomorrow at noon, please order the first order at that time! Please order the first order! Please order the first order!
"I heard that the tax grain in Yanzhou was delivered by merchants in the Yongxing Army, so it can be seen that you have a lot of money and goods in your hands, and Yanzhou has not shipped a grain of grain, and it has been transported to your winery, right? And what's going on with Luoshui Ranch Horse Farm? Raising horses on a large scale without permission is a big crime, you don't know it, right? Yu Dechen's face was not good, and he looked businesslike.
"Current affairs are chaotic, so naturally we should take extraordinary measures, since Yu Shilang also said that his political achievements are outstanding, then there is no need to explain the military and political affairs of Yanzhou, right? As for the winery is my private property, it has nothing to do with the two prefectures of Yanzhou, the horse farm is to raise the war horses of the three commanders of the cavalry, and the pasture is to prepare cattle raising, which is not considered a violation of the court law. ”
Yu Dechen was about to ask again, but Fan Zhen next to him coughed dryly and sneered: "Although you are reasonable, you have done a very good job, doubling the Yanzhou household registration and doubling the tax amount in the future, but if the officials in the world are acting like you and filling the state's finances with business money and grain, how can the court still restrain local officials?" ”
"Why is it that the law is messed up? The inspection of Yan and Qing Prefecture has not been handed over, and it seems that it can be ......" Zhang Yue felt empty in his heart, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became, and when he said this, he also felt a little lacking in confidence.
When paying taxes to the DPRK, it was not specifically indicated that it was paid by the Inspection Office, but with Yanzhou. Because after dealing with the Gyeongju incident, Li Qiong and Zhai Congen took over the business and taxation of Gyeongju and Ningzhou. The DPRK and China also issued an edict that the state government was responsible for the taxation of commercial affairs, and his inspection was only in name at that time.
"Humph! OK? What can be? Work is work! This should be discussed separately. The debriefing can be over, and the old man will explain this matter to His Majesty, so you can wait for the audience! Fan Zhen snorted, got up and strode away.
Li Gu then got up and said with a smile: "It is said that this is reported by the Imperial City Division, not an official impeaching you, General Zhang rest assured!" ”
Uncle Neisi, and deacon of the Imperial City Division, Dong Guangmai? The inner temple belongs to the province of internal servants, and it is under the seven products, and the palm pickets the lawlessness in the palace, and the old man is in and out. The Imperial City Division is not an espionage agency, and deacons usually send retinue officials to announce orders, and sometimes they are also ordered to investigate an official in an open and honest manner. Of course, if you encounter some illegal things, you can also go up to the Son of Heaven on your own.
Zhang Yue suddenly realized, it turned out that this honest dead eunuch had yin himself! It is estimated that it was reported to Emperor Guo Wei's desk, otherwise he wanted to return to Beijing to report on his work as an excuse, and the emperor and Guo Rong knew it, but it turned out to be true, and this matter is a bit hanging.
At the end of the debriefing, the two ministers and the three officials went to the side hall one after another to report to the emperor. Zhang Yue waited here for another half an hour, and finally a little yellow door came to find him, saying that the emperor had summoned him.
The small yellow door led the way, Zhang Yue followed, went out of the side hall and went around to the east pavilion behind, several civil and military officials were coming out of it, arguing about something all the way, and gradually moving away. Xiao Huangmen went in to report, and soon came out to roll call inside the door: "It is rumored that General Dingyuan Zhang Yue has come to see you!" ”
Zhang Yue's face was solemn, he sorted out his appearance, and then stepped inside, after the emperor Guo Wei was sitting on the imperial case, Guo Rong, the king of Jin, was accompanying him, and the father and son were talking about something, looking a little relaxed and casual.
"The last general, Zhang Yue, greets Your Majesty! Meet His Royal Highness King Jin! Zhang Yue bowed and saluted.
"Debriefing? Zhang Kuangtu is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, although he is doing evil on his own, but you can't be smart in the future. It is not possible to lead the inspection of the official position, but smuggle goods, and resell the salt of the official tax to supplement the military. Although you make up the chapter to say that the sky is crazy, but can not change this result, now two punishments, first reduced to a guerrilla general from the five products, choose a day to lead the headquarters of the people and horses to go out to Huizhou, hope to make up for the merits, and accept the whole army in front of the palace after returning to the court. ”
As soon as Emperor Guo Wei opened his mouth, he directly asked for the punishment of the crime, which made Zhang Yue a little unexpected, so he had to resign himself to the crime, but it seemed that his grace was not reduced, and he was not worried in his heart.
"I heard that you have a good effect in dealing with the matter of dictating the fields in Yanzhou, but I didn't expect that the camp field affairs were canceled, and these official fields were in the hands of local wealthy families, which is really hateful!" Guo Wei said angrily.
The so-called camp field affairs is not the uniform field system in the early Tang Dynasty, but a kind of maladministration left over from the late Tang Dynasty. The land owned by the local government was leased to tenants for cultivation, but the household registration of these tenants was no longer vested in the prefecture or county, but was under the jurisdiction of a separate official appointed by the household department, so that the tenants effectively became serfs of the state.
Guo Wei abolished the camp and field affairs, recalled the camp officials, and assigned the tenants to the prefecture and county, and the houses and land and cattle were all privately owned, which was well implemented in the Kanto region, but most of the land in the Kansai region was old feudal towns, and the central government decrees had always been in defiance of the yin and yang, and the tenants and land were divided among the local tycoons.
And Zhang Yue dictated the fields in Yanzhou, and the crackdown was wider, and the tenants were renaturalized, and even the family servants of the wealthy families in the counties and the land estates were also naturalized, so of course there were good political achievements.
"Exactly! In the Tang Dynasty, the equalization system was to take care of the interests of the gate valve family, and it was natural to collect taxes according to the actual acres of land, but the local government has always used this method, which is too troublesome, and the local officials only collect the total amount of taxes and do not care. However, the wealthy families concealed the number of acres of land, communicated with the government, and had extensive land without paying taxes, and their land rent tax was actually transferred to the heads of the poor peasants and common people, so that the poorer the common people were, the stronger the wealthy clans, and the less tax revenue of the state became, which eventually led to civil strife. ”
Zhang Yue now has a relatively sober understanding of these local state and county affairs, and suggested in a timely manner: "The last general suggested that he send personnel to the local Juntian to investigate the hidden fields, and there should be great gains." ”
Guo Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Guo Rong and said, "This is a good idea!" What does King Jin think? ”
"Erchen thinks it's possible! There are a large number of monasteries and Taoist temples in local prefectures and counties, and there are countless monks and nuns, and these people are not engaged in production, and they also annex and occupy a large amount of land. Guo Rong's face was solemn and he said seriously.
Guo Wei smiled bitterly: "You are still too impatient, you can't do it now, and when the situation is stabilized, the country's foundation is poor, and the meat can be divided as you want in the pot." ”
Zhang Yue thought about it in his heart, and felt that this was really the case, and couldn't help but secretly admire it, consolidating the foundation and cultivating yuan is a factor, fattening the local big insects, and getting more.
But I heard Guo Wei say again: "The war in Huizhou will be carried out in late autumn, and the Privy Council is already preparing, and then the King of Jin will go to Yongxing Military Mansion to sit down." However, we have to send someone to stabilize Xia Sui and Li Yiyin first, so as not to worry about it and make an obstacle from it. Xue Juzheng is also going to be recalled, and the matter of buying a horse is over here, and if he defeats Huizhou, he can control Hexi, and everything can be solved. And you, don't stay too long when you return to Beijing, go back to Yanzhou as soon as possible to prepare for the war. ”
It seems that the explanation has been finished, this time the audience is a bit long, seeing that it is noon, Zhang Yue got up and saluted and retired, just out of the East Pavilion of the partial hall, and Guo Rong, the king of Jin, also came out. Seeing him striding over, there might be something to explain, so Zhang Yue stood and waited for him.
"Hey, hey! The day before yesterday, it was reported that the lonely princess salivated on the fourth day of this month, and the mother and son were safe. Lone has thought about it, named Zongxun, in a few days to go back to Shanzhou, planning to celebrate in the Tokyo palace first, are their own people, seven days later, the zodiac auspicious day, then you will also come! Guo Rong said happily.
"Oh...... Congratulations to Your Highness on your noble son! Zhang Yue hurriedly congratulated, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, it turned out that Chai Zongxun was born this year, and he didn't know who his biological mother was, but he also knew that if it wasn't for Fu's family, I am afraid that it would not be possible to ascend the throne smoothly later.
