Early in the morning, Zhang Yue took a carriage to the Xuande Gate to wait for the court, the officials in Beijing are like this, every day in the morning and return late, today's morning court will have a lot of important things to announce, mainly the northwest and Huainan soldiers to reward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Senior generals are rewarded for their merits and promotions, and soldiers are given money and goods for their military exploits, which are distributed by officers at all levels. The forbidden army is in the suburbs of Tokyo, and the date is announced to come to collect, and the northwest festival town goes out to fight, and the three divisions are financially rich when they are carried and issued by the edict envoy, and if it is insufficient, they can only find a way, so the local town soldiers often loot on a large scale, and the officers' military exploits can only make up for the state and county official positions.

Hu Zai and Ma Renyu brought 100,000 yuan reward money when they went to Xiazhou to announce the edict, that is just a symbolic meaning, Zhang Yue has already divided the spoils with the towns participating in the war, and he paid part of it in advance, and the 100,000 yuan is not enough for half of his own upside down, and today's reward is the Southern Expedition Forbidden Army, and it is estimated that there are also generals who are promoted and transferred.

As soon as the hour came, the Xuande Gate and the Mingde Gate should be opened, Zhang Yue was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, pedaling black leather boots, and a group of civil and military officers lined up, looking around, in front of Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, Zhang Mei and other ministers and some old seniority and twenty or thirty people, but behind was a long team of civil and military officials.

Entering the Jinxiang Palace, the officials on duty lined up to sit in order, and the palace attendants finished checking the imperial history, and the emperor soon arrived. Guo Rong attaches the most importance to financial and economic matters, because these are closely related to the war, and the forbidden army cannot be assembled without money.

Speaking of finance, it also involves the issue of local prefectures and counties, and the commander of the state and the military state are originally large and small, but the assassin and the governor also have the military power of the defense envoy, so as to form an intermediate feudal town, and the military envoys and commanders stationed in each county are often also local snakes, forming low-level feudal towns.

In order to solve these problems, Guo Rong prepared two policy strategies, one was to officially promulgate the "Great Zhou Criminal System", emphasizing the legal system. The second is the rent of Juntian, which was given to the towns and cities in various regions with the "Juntian Map" compiled by Yuan Zhen, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and ordered the marshals and state and county officials to implement them according to the regulations.

The so-called criminal system is nothing, if you don't commit a crime, you will naturally be fine, not to mention that in this era of feudal rule, whether a crime is committed or not is decided by power and money. And Juntian rent, it is easy to say, but it is simply unrealistic. The emperor has to keep tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace people, how can it be possible to expect the bureaucratic landlords not to keep domestic slaves? Keeping attendants, slaves and maidservants all need to eat food, can they carry them without land and tenants? Do you want the ministers to go farming?

Therefore, they all live by eating and renting, and the rent of Juntian is a fake and empty thing, and it is impossible to really enforce it. It is much more practical to see that the first emperor Guo Wei issued an edict to equalize the field, directly rewarding all kinds of land owned by the government for private use to small households, and increasing the number of taxpayers by hundreds of thousands at once.

However, if we want to implement this Juntian, we must beat the landlords, release the slaves, divide the land property, and increase the number of taxpayers, and the officials and generals will set an example and play a leading role, otherwise there will be no effect.

There is just a case of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, more than a month ago, the arson case of Honglu Temple had a bad impact, and after the investigation and verdict of Kaifeng Prefecture, Honglu Temple Shaoqing Kang Siyi derelicted his duty, and the pawn bureau ordered Du Xiyao to engage in fraud, greedy for property and murder Xia Sui's envoy, sentenced to abandon the city, and confiscated his family property. This finally closed the case of the rumors, and the two guys in Honglu Temple died unjustly, but they cheapened the real planner.

As soon as this edict was given, Zhang Yue, who had never wanted to make a sound, inadvertently turned his head to look, Zhao Kuangyin was sitting behind Wuchen on the left side like no one, and when he saw Zhang Yue staring at him, he actually looked back calmly. The corners of Zhang Yue's mouth curled, secretly thinking that this guy looked honest, and he was really thick-faced and black.

After the discussion of the domestic affairs of the Great Zhou, and when it came to border defense and the affairs of the surrounding countries, Jingnan Gao Baorong persuaded Meng Chang in Shuzhong to declare himself a minister to the Great Zhou, but Meng Chang did not reply. The Southern Tang Dynasty Zhongshu Lingliu sent Cai Zhong to dress up as a businessman, sandwiched the watch seal in the middle of the belt and came to Tokyo, and called himself a vassal in a twisted manner, and planned to set up the Southern Tang Dynasty Jinmiao Yuan in Tokyo, officially called the vassal state.

After these matters were discussed, it was noon, and then 400,000 copper coins were rewarded to the forbidden army of the Southern Expedition, which were distributed in gold cakes, and the generals exchanged copper coins by themselves, because there was a shortage of copper, and the problem of deflation was alleviated, but it was not really cured.

The senior generals of the two major institutions of the forbidden army were not transferred, only sealed, Li Chuyun got his wish, and finally led the left wing of the tiger with merit, Xiang Xun had been in charge of the festival town and the forbidden army, but now he was transferred to Xiangzhou Shannan East Road, and the southwest of the water and land transportation to recruit envoys. Correspondingly, Han Lingkun was also transferred to the Yangzhou military government and the southeast water and land transport envoy.

In this way, the guards Sima Jun are all in command of the vacancies, and the guards Sima Budu Yu Hou, and the Songzhou Guide Jiedu Han Tong are also the commanders, and the original infantry army is Yu Hou Liu Chongjin and the deputy commander of the Ma Army. Zhang Yue wants to say that the foundation in the forbidden army is Hujie's left wing, and there are almost no good generals, and a Murong Yanzhao was also co-opted by Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhang Yue has abandoned this person.

After that, it was officially canonized, Hou Zhangbai Hexi County King, Wusheng Festival Envoy, Zhang Yue worshiped Qin Guogong, still led the Anguo Festival Envoy of Xingzhou, and Xuanhui North Court Envoy, plus Privy Counsellor, this has to go through etiquette, as well as the corresponding title of honor guard, but there is no addition to the three divisions of the government, the scale of the honor guard is not large. In addition, the brocade robe and jade belt, the golden book and the seal coupon, etc., Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple also have to be recorded, because Zhang Yue is not only a nobleman, but also a royal family.

There are also Bian Ji, Du Yanhui, Li Shiwen, Dang Jinfu, Shen Nianban, Su Lun Abo, Fu Zhaoji, Han Zhiping and other northwest officers who served as governors, or moved to the defense envoys, these four or five intermediate officials are not low, at this time, the emperor will choose a day to receive them.

After the early dispersal of the early afternoon, it was already past the banquet in the hall as usual, a group of officials were hungry and just dining, the emperor began as soon as he arrived, at this time everyone was more casual, and the banquet could not help but talk about the matter of Juntian, and the result of the three envoys Zhang Mei said: "A military town in the four states of Changyi has vigorously dismissed the tenants Juntian through Zhang Yue, and in recent years the tax payment is the most among the towns in Guanxi, please follow the example of Jingzhou to implement." ”

As soon as Guo Rong heard this, he sat up straight and looked quite interested, and immediately asked: "Xianggong Xuangui is quite appreciative of your ruling strategy in Jingzhou, but I and Zhongqing only know the surface, but they don't know the inside, Aiqing might as well elaborate!" ”

I don't know whether this Zhang Mei intentionally or unintentionally, she actually poked out her own affairs, Zhang Yue's rule of Jingzhou is an abnormal means, in the final analysis, it is to coerce the local clans to do things according to their own intentions, hand over the tenants and land properties, and add a few counties, this number of households is too much, as long as the officials are less greedy, the tax will naturally rise.

But these can't be put on the table, otherwise if you offend people to death, you will be isolated in the court. Speaking of which, it is to make money, and the ambition is to go on the Northern Expedition, but how much wool can be cut, and the bureaucrats and landlords will hide the grain and rot when they hear the rumors, and hide the small households to work in their own various workshops that do not have to pay taxes.

Bureaucrats, merchants, and landlords are one, and there are a few high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government who do not have private workshops and shops of all kinds, and in addition to a large number of slave tenants of the grange, there are very few who really rely on their money to support their families.

Zhang Yue smiled helplessly, so he had to get up and salute and said, "Go back to Your Majesty!" The minister believes that if we want to increase tax revenue, we need to repeat the old tune, and we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure. It's easy to say that the open source thing, since the Southern Tang Dynasty and Xishu are ministers, you might as well communicate with the goods, Juntian is not a short time to see the results, and it is several times faster to start from business. ”
