Chapter 228: The Man Behind the Scenes
The seemingly calm Xiangyang City quickly splashed as a stone fell.
When Zhao Pu went to court and sat on the dragon chair, his butt had just sat firmly, and he was bombarded by the ministers.
An imperial historian walked out of the train and took the lead in speaking: "Shengshang, since Jingkang is difficult to come, Bianliang was destroyed, Taixue and Guozijian were also destroyed, and the decline of culture and education is the misfortune of the society." Now that it is safe for the time being, it is better to build a national prison, rebuild Taixue, and win a big victory over Wenzhi! ”
"Your Majesty, our dynasty is based on the rule of culture, and if there is no culture, the country will prosper, and the way of rejuvenating education is the eternal truth. Now that the state is stable, the minister implores to reopen the country's eunuchs and Taixue, and recruit scattered scholars to prosper the country! A speech official also said.
"Holy Lord, opening a martial arts academy and improving military equipment is a great good. However, the way of civil and military affairs, one by one, can not be wasted, no literature is martial arts, no martial arts, no literature is prosperous. Wu has opened a martial arts academy, and Wen also needs to open Taixue, Guozijian! At this time, Wang Boyan stepped forward and said.
Other officials also spoke one after another, and the content was nothing more than to start reopening Taixue and reopening the country's sub-prison.
In this era, Taixue and Guozijian were the two most famous public universities, equivalent to Peking University and Tsinghua University in later generations.
In Taixue, most of them are from the common class; As for Guozijian, most of them are second-generation officials who go to school.
In the imperial examinations of the Great Song Dynasty, the proportion of Guozijian and Taixue high school students was extremely high.
The ministers in the court are either from Taixue, or from the country, or they are implicated. In short, Taixue, Guozijian is the alma mater of the ministers of the DPRK and China. And the clear stream is mostly from these two regions.
It's just that everything follows, the invasion of the Jin army. The fall of Bianliang has no eggs under the nest. In the Bianliang catastrophe, the Guozijian did not exist. Taixue also does not exist, and many of the classics in its collection were burned, and many people died in the exile. At this time, it is imperative to build Guozijian and build Taixue.
Zhao Pu said in his heart: I don't object to reconstruction, but I want money!
Rebuilding, rebuilding, of course, costs money, and there are quite a few of them.
And there is no point in rebuilding. Maybe, the next year the Jin army came, the city of Xiangyang was broken, and the Taixue and Guozijian that had just been built were destroyed again. There is no point in rebuilding, at least until the situation is not stable, and it is better not to rebuild Guozijian and Taixue. It's just that these words are destined not to be spoken.
Once he said it, he was standing on the opposite side of the world's corporals, and Zhao Puke did not have the courage to fight the world alone.
Zhao Pudao: "It is imperative to rebuild Guozijian and rebuild Taixue. That's it! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers of the court immediately shouted in unison.
Zhao Pu had a feeling of lightness, this kind of moment was too rare. In many moments, the Manchu ministers were on the opposite side of the king. Specializing in the ring with kings,
It's just that after the light flutter, Zhao Pu came to his senses. Full of vigilance, the so-called weasel to the chicken New Year's greetings. I didn't have a good heart, when many ministers kept saying. When the emperor is sage, it is the time when the ministers work together to calculate the king.
In many moments, kings are easy to fool.
Song Huizong's political talent is average, and he belongs to the waste scum, but he was said by the courtiers, "The Yellow River is clear, and the saint comes out", a saint in one mouth, and he was confused, and he really thought he was a saint. But in the hearts of the ministers, he is just a fool, you have a bad reputation, and I will take the benefits. In the end, the tragic Song Huizong became the king of the dead country;
When Chongzhen was the emperor, he cut Wei Zhongxian, and the Donglin party shouted in unison that the holy monarch was born, and Chongzhen really thought that he was a holy monarch, but in fact he was just an ignorant gentleman.
As a king, the first criterion is not to be fooled by the courtiers.
Sure enough, after the courtiers kept complimenting, Wang Boyan took the lead and said: "To rebuild the Guozijian, it takes a lot of money to learn too much, and the treasury seems to be insufficient!" ”
Zhao Pu's heart tightened, and the main drama came.
"I don't know how much it costs?" Zhao Pu asked.
"At least 300,000 yuan!"
"300,000 yuan!" Zhao Pu stood up, and couldn't sit down anymore at this moment. Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and watching the tiger fight is because it has nothing to do with itself. Once it is related to their own interests, who can sit still, "300,000 yuan, this is not a small amount." Since I ascended the throne, the treasury has not received more than 30 million yuan. It is also an amnesty for the world, exempting the disaster area from paying taxes for one year, disaster relief, military training, repairing city walls, building fortresses, and the needs of the military household system. I don't have an inner treasury, and I don't have a ...... to ask for money."
Among the emperors of the past dynasties, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was the most commoner, and when he called himself, he mostly used me, us, and only on formal occasions did he use "I".
At this moment, Zhao Pu bit me very clearly, intending to emphasize that there is no money!
"Cultural and educational matters are national affairs, and they should not be neglected in the slightest!" Wang Boyan said, "Even if the treasury is insufficient and the finances are scarce, it is imperative!" ”
Zhao Pu nodded, this is indeed a big deal, no matter how hard you can't be a child, no matter how poor you can't be poor in education, this is indeed a big thing. It's just that the priorities should also be clarified, the Jin army is about to be killed, at least until the current pass is passed, at this time, no matter how well the Guozi Eunuch Taixue does, he can't resist the Jin army.
It's just that these words, Zhao Pu is just slandering in his stomach, and he must not say them, and once he says them, he will definitely be bombarded by all the ministers.
Don't think that the Wenchen present is reasonable, Wenchen is more terrible than a hooligan when he is unreasonable.
Zhao Pu took a deep breath and said, "The treasury has no money, and my inner treasury has no money!" ”
In fact, there is still some money in the treasury, at least one million yuan of money is idle now, but this money is used to prevent accidents, how can it be easily used. If you have surplus food at home, don't panic!
As an important minister, Wang Boyan's internal financial revenues and expenditures are all passed through one by one, so he naturally knows the financial situation, and the little money in the treasury cannot be easily used. It's just that this doesn't mean that there is no way, the finances are like towels, there will still be a squeeze, and no money is just a lack of money.
"Weichen, please increase taxes!"
Zhao Pu's heart tightened and asked, "I don't know what the name of the tax is?" ”
"This tax is called the University Tax!"
"School tax!" When Zhao Pu heard this, he asked, "I don't know where to collect it?" ”
"You only need to collect it on Hubei Road!"
Zhao Pu was angry again, but he just suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I don't know who is responsible for collecting taxes?" ”
"Naturally, the states and counties are responsible for collecting taxes!"
Zhao Pu couldn't bear it anymore, he hit the ring and endured it any longer, and said Lang Lang: "Now that our dynasty has lost half of the country, only by organizing and marching troops, resisting the Jin army, reducing taxes internally, and enabling the people to cultivate and recuperate, can our dynasty prosper." The land of Hubei is the foundation of anti-gold. However, the taxes were extremely heavy, the people were tired, and the bandits were constantly suppressed at the moment. If the tax is added...... It's hard, it's hard! ”
The Song Dynasty had too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which were much more powerful than the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty in later generations.
In addition to the positive tax, for more than 100 years since the founding of the country, many miscellaneous taxes have been attached, such as Dingkou tax, cowhide tax, salt tax, qu tax, entry tax, agricultural tool tax, Yicang tax, etc., as well as and buying, and buying, and buying, transferring, conversion, and money have also become miscellaneous taxes in disguise, and these miscellaneous taxes are collected chaotically, and they are different from place to place, reaching hundreds of kinds.
But on the whole, all these miscellaneous taxes now often add up to two or three times the normal tax;
The more complicated the taxes, the more ways and means of exploitation by local officials and tax collectors, and because of the complexity and chaos, it is easier for local officials to conceal and withhold, which is one of the reasons why the people bear more and more heavy taxes, while the imperial court collects less and less tax silver.
It's not that I don't know, but when you calculate it, it's a terrifying number.
For example, the more complicated and chaotic the taxes Yang Yi said, the easier it is for officials to conceal and withhold taxes, which is simply a matter of common sense, needless to doubt.
Since Zhao Pu ascended the throne, he has reduced some taxes, which can be regarded as easing class contradictions and buying people's hearts. It's just that Zhao Pu doesn't know what the effect is. At this time, with the war, a large number of displaced people were born, and countless bandits and thieves were rampant, densely packed, like flies, killing one, and many births, which could not be prevented.
On the one hand, the bandits, on the other hand, they were divided and disintegrated, on the other hand, they were brought together into the military households, and on the other hand, they divided the land, and various policies were carried out at the same time, and some problems were finally solved.
At this time, how can you increase the tax!
Zhao Pu said: "It's not okay to raise taxes!" Let's use the ballast money! (To be continued......)
