Wang Jibao thought about it. Lifting the pen and writing on the paper:

There is a limit to getting money from the people. So why not start with places that have never collected taxes.

This is the first place where taxes have never been collected. It is the shop of the nobles such as the family and the nobles.

The imperial court expressly forbade those who were officials to engage in business.

But there are a few people who are in power all day and are really not in business.

They themselves are not in business. But there are fewer family members who do business in their name.

Let's just say that they are with the Shunhou Mansion. Are there still fewer shops outside? But which of these shops is taxable?

Think about it. Isn't this just a new one. It is also one of the most effective points to increase taxes.

Since the imperial court clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to do business. Then none of these shops should enjoy the preferential treatment of officials who do not have to pay all kinds of taxes.

Therefore. According to the Law. As long as it is a shop, it should pay all taxes.

And what about the second place to increase taxes.

Of course, it is still from these nobles.

The imperial court has a clear rule that as long as there is a person with meritorious fame. You can enjoy quite generous treatment. This is also the reason why the poor people are desperately studying.

It's still the same old saying.' There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book'. Make them more motivated to read.

But this sentence is definitely not a joke.

The reality is. When these scholars have achieved fame. One of the most immediate benefits is that you can be exempt from all taxes.

In this way, there are many neighbors in the township in order to pay less taxes. He hung his field on the bodies of these meritorious celebrities. At last. Originally, the taxes of the government went to the hands of this group of people. This group of people slowly began to have the original accumulation of their own funds.

Speaking as aristocrats. They occupy more than half of the world's land. And almost all of these people have fame. As a result, these fields were never taxed.

So if you want to increase taxes, do you still start with these people who never have to pay taxes? Taxes will increase faster.

The answer, of course, is yes.

But most of these people are officials who are in charge of the affairs of the world. If they don't want to pay taxes. It is necessary to unite in revolt. In that case. If the country doesn't get it right, it will be paralyzed immediately.

Therefore. the payment of taxes on the fields of these people. It is only a good policy to slowly figure it out.

Wang wrote for example:

You can first charge one acre of these people's ten acres of land, or even one mu of twenty acres or thirty acres of land as the tax payment base. For the sake of the small amount of money. These people are reluctant even if they are unwilling. In the end, the resistance will not be very strong.

If there is really strong opposition among them. Then you might as well kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. Punish those who oppose it as treason. Seeing that in the end, there are still a few people who dare to oppose it again.

As long as you have a little brain. I won't fight with the royal family for a little money. In the end, if you can't get it, you have to catch up with your own nine clans.

Wait until these people get used to paying taxes. At that time, two acres of ten, twenty, and thirty acres of fields can be used as the basis for tax payment. Wouldn't they have had as much of a reaction as before.

Of course. This reform must be carried out on a pilot basis first. It's best to start with some places where the nobility is not very concentrated. And little by little it expands. Finally, it will be popularized and implemented nationwide.

In this way, everyone will have a process of slow acceptance. The rest is getting better and better.

Lin Xi wrote on the paper: I understand. Is it possible to choose a few pilots for the reform of official governance. After that, slowly push forward. But how can the regulatory problem be solved?

In a short period of time. Lin Xi still hasn't come up with a good answer to this question.

Wang Jibao saw that he was still worried about this matter. So he wrote on the paper: power is scattered.

Completely separate the management power, judicial power, military power, etc. And let them hold each other accountable.

As long as power is not excessively concentrated in the hands of one person. These people will no longer be able to do blatant bad things.

Of course, there are still many details that need to be sorted out and improved slowly.

Then there is the strengthening of the assessment of the performance of these people. Finally, let the capable live in it.

Another point is to make these people change positions in power frequently. Don't let them stay in one place for long periods of time. Otherwise, when they get acquainted. The power is getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, all kinds of bad habits slowly breed.

At last. It is to severely punish those who break the law and discipline. Acts as a deterrent to others.

Moreover, the implementation of the reform of the administration of officials must also choose a good time period.

The best time is when the political situation is stable or when there is a change of dynasty.

Lin Xi wrote on the paper: The political situation is easy to understand. But when it comes to changing the dynasty, what is going on.

Wang Jibao smiled slightly. The pen writes:

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier. Any new emperor who ascends the throne will reuse his own people. It's conventional. So. Isn't it commonplace for personnel to change during this period?

This is the perfect time to streamline an overly bloated organization.

And. On this basis. Regardless of the people who support or do not support the new emperor. At this time, they will choose to support the new emperor unconditionally in order to keep their black yarn or want to become a close minister of the new emperor.

Of course. It is also important to note that the chair under your butt is not yet sitting firmly. If you don't have two brushes. began to blindly carry out the words of the new official taking office. That's risky. Therefore. The timing of this and the ability of the new emperor are crucial.

It may be due to the fact that Wang Jibao's answer to the second question is too brilliant. This. Emperor Yongsheng did not ask her to re-answer the third question because it was the same as the original answer to the first question.

Wang Ziyi is quite satisfied with his youngest daughter's avoidance of this issue.

Originally. Such a big thing. It's not like she's a girl to get involved.

As for Wang Jibao's answer to the first question. She replied in the past.

Especially if history is a mirror. A reminder to everyone.

That's right. Take a look at the history. Don't you know what experience you can learn from in the reform of official governance?

It is more of a safe way to do it. Historically, there has been no reform of the bureaucracy that wants to succeed overnight.

The remaining topics include the resettlement of disaster victims, the water conservancy of farmland, and the retention of some of the test topics in the "Four Books and Five Classics".

This is the last point.

This is about the fact that in recent years some barbarians on the border have harassed the local people for many years. How exactly is Dayong going to deal with the problems of these barbarians?

Wang Jibao's answer on this question coincides with Lin Xi.

Emperor Yongsheng looked at her answer again. It's just a lot of fun.

Wang Ziyi read this answer. Some suspect that their little daughter is soft and weak. How is it that he is being taught to be more and more violent.

Wang Jibao's answer is:

To deal with such a person is to fight. Until I beat him up. He will never dare to come to our border again.

And. Who said he could only come to our house to fight? Can't we go to his house and fight back?

The advantage of this is that they don't have the time and energy to come back to our house.

Hit once. If you don't obey the words. Then hit again.

Still disobedient. Then keep fighting.

A few times down. When he saw us, he had to run. How dare you harass us again?

The temple examination finally ended in the evening.

Wang Yuxun went home to sleep. Wang Ziyi stayed in the palace to supervise the judgment papers. Wang Jibao was asked to stay in the palace and wait for Emperor Yongsheng's summons at any time. Lin Xi naturally stayed in the palace with Wang Jibao.

There are too many topics for this temple exam. There are simply not enough graders who were originally prepared. In the end, even the six books were left behind and read them together.

The temple examination is for the fairness of the judgment papers. After the examinee has finished the exam. All test papers need to be sealed and stamped with white paper.

In order to prevent the marking staff from knowing who answered the test paper from the handwriting. It was also arranged for some people to re-transcribe the answers of these candidates.

Finally, after verification. Only then will the re-copied files be handed over to the adjudicator to read the files.

Ten days of hectic work. Eventually, ten dossiers were handed over to Emperor Yongsheng. Waiting for him to make his final judgment.

In the midst of this. There is a file that does not need to be looked at at all. all know that it was Wang Yuxun who answered.

The answer to the second and last questions is very similar to Wang Jibao's answer. At first glance, it was taught by a teacher.

Especially the last question. Hit him. He cried and called his mother when he was beaten. Until then. Look at him and dare to be arrogant. And also. Our people are idle. It's okay to go to his house for a walk. And then bring back some souvenirs. After a few times down. When they see us again, they have to hide. How dare you go to our house again and have nothing to do.

Look at the tone. This tone. Isn't it the same as Wang Jibao.

And this guy doesn't need to be reminded by Wang Ziyi at all. He answered every question. It's just the same as his sister. The answer to the answer. If you shouldn't answer, just write a few sentences of the most common and safest answer, and you will be considered an errand.

But this guy is on the issue of resettlement of the victims. A detailed answer was given.

Wang Jibao and Lin Xi then carefully read this question and his answer. I found that there were many similarities between the place where Wang Jibao dealt with the victims of the mountain villa.

That is, there is absolutely no idler. Find them something to do.

Emperor Yongsheng selected Wang Yuxun's dossier. And four copies were taken from the rest of the dossier.

In the end, Wang Jibao had five copies of the dossier that Deshou had found someone to re-copy.

Wang Yuxun's share. She took a look. It gave a perfect evaluation.

The language is concise and to the point. And the sense of proportion is excellent.

Wang Xibao carefully read the remaining four copies. It can really be said that each has its own merits.

One of the candidates made a number of suggestions for the reform of the administration of officials.

Especially for the children of the family. It is recommended to cancel. Let them gain fame through the imperial examination like the children of the poor family.

He also suggested that hereditary titles should last for three generations. Other than that. It is also recommended that corrupt officials be severely punished. Streamlining the organization and so on.
