Chapter 330: Key
Just when Chase was discouraged and Zhang Zhongyao was full of guilt, Wu Yingying said: "Now the treasury is collected from the two places of the sergeant and the city chamber of commerce, and they are all reported by themselves, and the original civil officials and tax officials of the state government are excluded from the Wu'an West Army system, and they dare not manage the matter of money and grain, and they are unable to manage it. But everything is afraid of accumulation, Chase," Hearing Wu Yingying's tone aggravated, Huntston, who was in a trance because of his dismissal, came to his senses, and listened to him again, "After you have been relieved of the military command, you will go to prepare for the establishment of a tax collector's office, but the personnel should not be too many, from the original state tax collectors, the scribes from Mr. Zuoqiu, and the military intelligence department, to picket the embezzlement of money and food and tax evasion." If he occasionally underpaid his money, he was given an official letter and handed it in time, and if he had committed a violation of the law of the land, the tax collector's office hired a lawyer to denounce him at the circuit court and bring him to justice. The preparation of the tax collector's house is a very important task, and if you have any questions, you can tell me about it now, and keep me informed of the progress in the meantime. ”
Hearing that Wu Yingying entrusted the heavy responsibility again, Chase couldn't help but perk up, he thought about it, this tax collector's mansion is mainly responsible for investigation, if there is really a traitor, in front of the circuit court, the lawyer of the tax collector's mansion and the defendant are the relationship between Bo Gongtang, and it is also the power and responsibility of the court to deal with whom, so Chase Bing said: "The lord's intentions, the minister has generally understood, and there are two points that need to be clearly stated by the lord." First, the current tax system of each state is different, whether the tax collector's office has the responsibility of re-planning and unifying the tax system, and second, the number of existing state tax collectors and Mr. Zuoqiu's scribes is small, and some are still unusable. After he finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yingying nervously, the first article actually greatly expanded the power of the Tax Collector's Mansion, and Zhang Bang's recruitment of talents was an open expansion of the personnel team of the Tax Collector's Mansion.
Wu Yingying pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Although the situation is different in different places, the national system must be slowly unified, otherwise the burden will be uneven, how can we serve the public." At present, there are six types of state taxes: land tax, mining tax, commercial tax, industrial tax, municipal tax, and customs duty. The land tax is based on the 20 tax system, and the industrial tax is 10 taxes. Mining taxes are obtained by bidding for the right to mine coal, iron, salt, gold, silver, and jade. For merchants without fixed shops, the commercial tax is levied on the basis of capitation, and for merchants with fixed shops, a fixed municipal tax is levied according to the shop. Customs duties are collected on the border of Wu'an West, and the goods entering the country are all taxed at 10 taxes, and the goods leaving the country are not taxed for the time being. ”
He saw that Chase was contemplating his memory, and added: "One person is short, and everyone is long, this plan is also a believer, remember not to memorize and move, you go down to find a skilled tax official to make a plan, not only to ensure the financial resources of the military government, but also not to dry up and fish, causing the people to complain." Moreover, it is feasible to elect tax collectors, but it must be open and fair, and we can imitate the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty, but we do not take the examination of poetry and literature, and we should only examine the study of financial management in the world.
Chase said: "What if the tax collector selected by Quan can't pass the assessment of the second art of the emperor and can't be promoted to the official career?" Although he has not yet taken office, he knows that seeking benefits for his subordinates is the key to sitting firmly in the upper position, and the division between the scholars and the shadows divided by Wu Yingying is no less than the status gap between the meritorious scholars and ordinary people in the Song Kingdom.
Wu Yingying saw that there was some eager light in his eyes, and as soon as he came out of the military system, he began to can't wait to fight against the sergeant class, and sure enough, it was a piece of material, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Martial arts and merit are national systems, and there is no doubt about them." If the tax collector cannot be promoted to the rank of scholar, he can be like a protector, and be my own, that is, the shadow of the royal family, and no one else can infringe upon it. But if you don't have the status of a scholar, no matter how high your official position is, there is no hope of lifelong worship. Later, his words were taken by Chase, and he directly issued a "royal tax collector" badge to all the tax collectors who had not entered the civil service, and later even the tax collectors with the status of scribes were proud to call themselves "royal tax collectors", and the tax collectors, as the pioneers of the emerging bureaucracy in the Xia Kingdom, were nicknamed by the sergeants as loyal dogs guarding the treasury.
"Lord, the way of governing the country, when both civil and military, now the standard of assessing the two arts of the scribe is too harsh, there are too few qualified, the minister is the country's society, dare to suggest, lower the assessment standard of the second art of the archery, and open the step for more scribes. Zhang Zhongyao suddenly interjected on the side, under Wu Yingying's scribe standard, the Anxi prefectures and counties have fallen into a situation of a shortage of civil officials, and most of the literati who work for the government are relegated to the shade, although at present, in the case of the sergeant class's strong control over the locality, the civilian official group seems dispensable, but Zhang Zhongyao, who is familiar with historical facts, always feels a little worried, and now sees that Wu Yingying has opened the door to Chase's tax collector's office, so he seized the opportunity to admonish.
Wu Yingying looked at Zhang Zhongyao, sighed, and said, "I know what you said, but the country's martial style must not be changed. He paused, and controlled himself to mention that the future Jin State, the Mongol Empire, and the Later Jin State would destroy the Central Plains civilization like a storm, because in the current Anxi Army, the grassland tribes are really not a threat, and what Wu Yingying sees is that decades, hundreds of years, once the martial arts of any civilized country declines, it will be raped and destroyed by the barbarian people. What's more, Anxi, together with the Great Song Dynasty, is on the side of the Eurasian steppe, where the world's most violent nomads originated, and on the last page of the ferocious era of cold weapons, Anxi's military strength has always maintained the importance of suppressing those steppe peoples who are not subject to naturalization. "On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore. This sentence, in turn, should be the words of the Chinese people, who are close to the steppes of Eurasia and have no shelter between them and the barbarian peoples who worship killing and war.
"The two art examination schools I formulated are to cultivate a martial style for the country, and it is too early to talk about merit and demerits at this time, and after a hundred years, it will be effective. Although the current Xi Wen cannot be promoted to the rank of scholar, as long as he is elected to a state institution such as the Tax Collector's Office, he can be brought under my shadow. In the future, the scholars of our country, who have the intention to be civil officials and do not take the martial path, will naturally practice the second art of archery from an early age, and over time, it should not be very difficult for literati to meet the current assessment standards, and the country's martial arts style has been achieved. ”
Zhang Zhongyao saw that Wu Yingying insisted on refusing to lower his standards, so he had no choice but to stop talking about it, took the order to leave, rode his horse with Chase, and arched his hand: "Congratulations Brother Cai, in the future, I will enter the picture, and I will start today." "If there is regret in my heart, I secretly said, the lord is not annoyed that I know that there is a future for the prime minister, but I still don't know how to act without self-love, so I handed over this tax collector's mansion to Chase to build.
