Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 41 Busy
As an emergency policy, the Xuanfu Department soon introduced a series of measures to encourage merchants to trade in the northwest, one of which was that all caravans transporting grain to the northwest would be exempted from taxes in Hedong, Shaanxi, and Hezhong; The trafficking of goods from the northwest only needs to pay a one-time tax of 5% of the value of the goods, and there is no need to pay additional taxes in the northwest. Come on,.!
The funds to help the displaced people buy grain, this fell on the salt tax. Since the salt fields in Yanzhou were sold by Wang Hao's dogs, and the money was put into the pockets of Zhao Ta's father, even if he wanted to carry out state-run operations, there was no foundation, so the Xuanfu Division set up salt supervisors in the salt-producing areas, and taxes were levied according to the amount of salt sold in each salt field, with a fixed levy of five wen per catty, and the salt price was regulated by the market, and the government did not interfere without authorization.
For the displaced people, the government will make unified arrangements and guide them to set up cantonment sites for resettlement. Since it is now June, the agricultural season has been delayed, and the government will distribute food and daily necessities, but the government will not give things in vain, but will use the method of work-for-relief to guide the displaced people to reclaim wasteland, dredge irrigation canals, and build settlements to prepare for the cold winter and do a good job of basic work for next year's spring ploughing
"Lord Wang, you use Wei Bochu as the salt supervisor, do you want to discuss this matter again?" Chen Guoting, the judge of the Xuanfu Division, said.
"Do the deputy envoys also think that Wei Bochu is incompetent?" Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and looked at the few people sitting in the hall and asked rhetorically. After the policy is formulated, it also needs to be supervised, Zhao Ta divided his Xuanfu Department into several groups, and the deputy envoy Xu Zongheng sat in Taiyuan to dispatch and deal with daily affairs; Yang Shi is responsible for carrying out the work of Mintun; Zhou Xingji was in charge of economic work. Centralize the dispatch of various taxes. Coordinate with departments and governments on the allocation of funds; Chen Guoting led people to inspect various state capitals to deal with disputes, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and inspect officials at all levels; And he can't be idle, Lao Maozi has a saying that 'a hundred times to wave a fist, it is better for a strategic bomber to shake the wings', in view of the Western Xia is about to move, the people of the Tibetan tribe are unstable, the rogue is in turmoil and other serious incidents, he wants to lead troops to patrol the border, to deter. As soon as things are arranged, everyone will have to go their separate ways.
"Well, Xia Guan thinks what Judge Chen said is reasonable!" Xu Zongheng nodded and said solemnly, and several other people also nodded yes. "Wei Bochu first voted for Cai Jing, and then voted for Wang Huang, and regardless of his virtue, when he was in charge of the goods, he colluded with the transfer households, but whenever there was a business trip, he was asked to keep four-tenths of the amount to fill the amount, and the number of taxes was more, and he was the most vain to the master, so the lower officials thought that his ethics were too bad. It is not advisable to take on this heavy responsibility! ”
"Yes, Deputy Envoy Xu is reasonable, the salt tax is related to the stability of my northwest, and it is really inappropriate for the prince to hand over such a heavy task to this person, please think twice!" Yang Shi also said.
"Everyone said that Wei Bochu's bad deeds have also been heard of by this king, and his deeds are indeed despised by righteous people!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, not denying what Wei Bochu did back then, "But after he switched to Wang Huang, he was impeached by Cai Jing for revenge." Not only was he ruined, but he fled to the northwest to avoid revenge, so that he fell into the streets, his family had no food and clothing, and was bullied by the officials. was forcibly conscripted as a soldier and civilian husband and almost died. This king took him in when he was a minister in the same hall and became a small official in the shogunate."
"The prince will take in this person with benevolence and righteousness, but you must know that a villain like him is the most ungrateful, he can betray Cai Jing first, and betray Wang Huang second, once he gains power again one day, how does the prince know that he will not betray you again?" Without waiting for Zhao Ta to finish speaking, Yang Shi interrupted the words of the prince and said that it was extremely rude for a subordinate to interrupt a superior's speech, but it could also be seen that he was obviously extremely disgusted with this person.
"Hehe, this king really can't guarantee that Wei Bochu will not betray me, he once acted for the tiger and committed adultery, it can be said that he was proud for a while, but in the blink of an eye, the wealth is all smoke, after this big ups and downs, this king thinks he should understand the reason!" Zhao Ta blamed him for Yang Shi's rudeness, but smiled and said, "There is a saying in the countryside that 'the prodigal son does not change his money', after he came to my place, he was no longer the same as in the past, he did the work of a small official, and he received a meager salary, and he was conscientious, but he never complained." This king thinks that he has changed his past, he has presided over the Department of Affairs for many years, the business is proficient, and he must know the pros and cons, now we are the time to employ people, and he should also be given a chance to try, okay, continue to use; It's not proper, just replace it in time, and you can't make a big mistake if you think about it! ”
"Well, then according to what the prince said, and let him try, if he is a traitor again, please don't be merciful again!" For the sake of the prince to appoint a small official with a sesame seed, everyone objected in unison, and let the prince explain in every way, but think about what the prince said is also reasonable, there are really not many people in the world who can understand the messy things in the affairs than Wei Bochu, the prince is fighting evil with evil, if he can really change the evil and return to the right, it is not a bad officer, Xu Zongheng nodded first, but he also conditionally reserved his opinion, and several other people saw that the two chief officials agreed with the main and deputy officials, so they didn't say much anymore and reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, if it recidivists, it will be handed over to you to deal with, and this king will never protect his shortcomings!" Zhao Tan said with a smile, he was also relieved in his heart, now it depends on whether Wei Bochu is angry or not, if he can handle this matter well, he can hand over another big thing to him to do.
Next, Zhao Tan discussed with several people many details of the establishment of the Mintun and the Juntun, which not only included the problem of developing land and increasing income, but also the problem of occupation and arrangement, which should not be underestimated. When the prince took out a map of the northwest, everyone saw that it not only marked the hydrological and geographical conditions, but also indicated the location that could be reclaimed, only to know that the prince had already had a belly case, at this time, as long as it was sorted out a little, it could be sent to various places for execution, and they couldn't help but glance at the prince again.
This plan has been decided, and Zhao Ta is busy summoning the various Jingluo pacification envoys, because the archer fields are generally distributed by the Jingluo pacification envoys, and he knows that he must shift his strategic focus to the north in the future, and these archers will be his reserve soldiers and strong allies in the future, which requires the northward transfer of those who are loyal to him, but the required fields must also be coordinated with them.
There is still Zhao Zhong waiting behind, this kid just put up the shelf of the military academy, but the principal's chair has not yet been warmed, and it has become the envoy of the Hedong Army, and now his eyes are black, and he is still waiting for his own guidance, and the principal can only think about so many busy things by himself, but there is no confidant around him to share, and a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes, I wonder if she is as busy as herself? ……)
