However, Wu Qian already felt that he was in the right direction.!

Lord Xu was obviously very concerned about the matter of the charter, especially the few opinions he put forward, which seemed to be empty words, but Wu Qian could feel that Xu Butang was attentive.

A person has to do something with his heart, and at this time, he gives the next person a direction, at least everyone knows how not to anger this guy, on the contrary, he can also be appreciated.

Wu Qian paid more and more attention to the matter of the charter, and attached great importance to Cheng dù, no less than an imperial examination, he returned to the public house, carefully pondered Xu Qian's words, and then carefully read the charter, and had a general idea in his heart, and immediately summoned a few hall officials and scribes to start perfecting.

Wu Qian didn't go home for a few days, and after a few days, his eyes were already red, so he finally rushed out of the new charter and sent it to Xu Qian, Xu Qian took a serious look at it this time, and saw Wu Qian's unkempt appearance, so he first smiled and said: "I heard that you have forgotten to sleep and eat in recent years?" Lord Wu is old, but he should pay more attention to his body, and he will have to borrow money in the future. ”

This casual sentence made Wu Qian feel relieved, and his efforts seemed to have been rewarded, and the word "borrowing" had already shown Xu Qian's attitude.

Wu Qian has heard many rumors, such as the previous Hubu Shangshu, who had a great relationship with Xu Qian, and the Son of Heaven was guilty, it was Xu Qian who raised his head to admonish, which won Liang Teng's rightful name, and this alone was enough to make Wu Qian die.

Xu Qian immediately looked at the charter and nodded constantly: "There is basically no big problem now, although there are still some places that are not proper, but it is still hard for you, and the rest, the official personally catches the knife, Lord Wu, the official will allow you to take a vacation, and the official will be on duty for you today, you go and take a rest." ”

Wu Qian hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower officials don't have to rest. ”

Xu Qian also followed him: "Since this is the case, then we will improve it together." ”

Xu Qian said, took the pen and ink, and said what he meant, while Wu Qian took the pen to record, and the two of them said a word, constantly pondering every thought.

"My lord, if the tax collector recruits scholars, will it be too ostentatious?"

"It's okay, each prefecture and county has to collect taxes, someone has to understand the complex tax system of the household department, and it has to be calculated, ordinary errand work is not possible, and some people can't even read a few big characters, so what's the use? We're not recruiting thugs. ”

"Just reading, will people come?"

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "There are scholars in this world, but there are a few of them who can take the imperial examination every three years, everyone has to beg for a living, as long as the silver is higher and the status is higher, these are fine." ”

Wu Qian nodded, in fact, he could understand what Xu Qian meant, the tax collector who levied the commercial tax must not be illiterate, but the scholar was inevitably weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to harden it.

Xu Qian said with a smile: "In addition to this tax bureau, there must be someone to inspect and inspect the illegality of various prefectures and counties, and to inspect tax collectors, and these people must also be recruited. ”

Wu Qian said: "Then is it also to follow the example of Zhejiang, set up a money and grain bureau, which is responsible for repairing bridges and paving roads, building schools and other matters, didn't the adults say, take it from the people and the people, so this money and grain bureau is also very necessary, but how does the money and grain bureau work, should there be a rule......

Xu Qian nodded and said, "What this official wants to say is this matter・・・・・・ the Money and Grain Bureau is running well in Zhejiang, and it is also a maverick, and it is outside the local government... ・・・”

It took two days for the charter to finally come to fruition, Xu Qian took a long breath, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the tens of thousands of words of the old tax reform book.

It takes a lot of time to get to do something like this.

Of course, if this letter is handed over, it will definitely cause an uproar, not to mention that the tax reform is not easy, just saying that the household department has the power to collect, audit, and withdraw, which is enough to make people criticize.

However, once this recital is carried out, then there is no doubt that the household department will really become a small cabinet, and then there will be tens of thousands of officials, and the local tax bureau may even become a yamen that cannot be ignored in the prefectures and counties and can even compete with the local government, even if it is not as good as the local government, at least the tax bureau has a much higher status than the school officials or judges of the prefectures and counties, and their status should be equivalent to that of the former town guard eunuchs, but in the past, the palace appointed the town guard eunuchs, but now, it is only the household department appointed.

If the household department has the right to set its own income and expenditure, then from now on, it will not be the chief officials of the various ministries and the temple supervisors who quarrel with the household department scholars, but everyone will come together to beg the household department to allocate money.

Xu Qian didn't have too many doubts, took the recital and the charter, and went directly to the cabinet in a sedan chair.

When he arrived at the cabinet, he sent someone to tell him, but no one dared to let him eat behind closed doors, after all, when he came to the cabinet, he must have something to report, this is a business matter, even if Yang Yiqing wants to pinch Xu Qian, it is impossible to be on this.!

When Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing heard that Xu Qian was coming, they couldn't help but secretly feel strange, what is this Xu Qian doing in the cabinet?

Yang Yiqing smiled coldly and said, "Didn't you just rectify Zhang Chūn, and come to show off your martial arts at this time?" ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "No, he is not so stupid, since he is here, there must be something big, don't be angry later, the old man told him." ”

Immediately ordered someone to invite Xu Qian in, Xu Qian arrived at Yang Tinghe's duty room, saluted Yang Tinghe, he saw Yang Yiqing also sitting on the side, like no one, also saluted Yang Yiqing, and said: "It turns out that Lord Yang is also here, and Xia Guan is here just in time." ”

Yang Tinghe said lightly: "What's the matter with Lord Xu?" ”

At this point, in the opinion of Yang Tinghe and others, there is really no need for greetings, and it is better to have something to say.

Xu Qian nodded, and said: "There is really such a thing, the current situation of the household department, the two elders must also know, the lower official took over this mess, it is really embarrassing, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although Sichuan's disaster relief money and grain is temporarily solved, but in the long run, if the household department continues like this, sooner or later it will not be maintained, the household department is responsible for such a big relationship, once there is a business trip, this is not a joke, so the lower officials are thinking, should it be changed, the court at the moment, the biggest problem is the uneven income and expenditure, this is a matter of roots. ”

Yang Yiqing smiled coldly and wanted to do something, but fortunately, Yang Tinghe hurriedly said, "Really?" It seems that Xu Butang already has an idea? ”

Xu Qian also got straight to the point, and said straightforwardly: "Exactly, this is some charter written by the lower officials, and the two adults are invited to look at it." ”

Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing glanced at each other, and seemed to guess Xu Qian's intentions, Xu Qian is unwilling to be a big tent, this person must make trouble, but he didn't expect that Xu Qian would move so quickly.

Yang Tinghe's tone was much colder, and he said, "Old man, take a look." ”

After taking over the charter, Yang Tinghe did not dare to slack off and looked carefully.

The more I look at it・・・・・・ the more frightened Yang Tinghe becomes, Xu Qian, this guy, is clearly seizing power, in which the tax bureau is to set aside the money and grain of the provinces, governments and counties, and completely separate taxes and local officials, this practice does not seem to be inappropriate, even if it is Yang Tinghe, he also hopes to do this, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty has always hoped that zhōngyāng will centralize power, but due to all kinds of powerful relationships, the clan is at least not small, so it is difficult to implement, after all, everyone is not stupid, the cabinet is certainly full of words, But it is not possible to offend all the magistrates.

Xu Qian's charter, logically speaking, has Yang Tinghe's appetite, but... Xu Qian's power to be centralized has nothing to do with the cabinet, all of which are concentrated in the household department, so that from then on, the cabinet has mastered the official affairs, government affairs, and military affairs, but the household department has mastered the financial power.

The importance of financial power Yang Tinghe of course knows that this is almost as important as the official affairs, in comparison, government affairs and military affairs must rely on financial power, which can be said to be closely related and indispensable, Xu Qian's ambition is exposed in this charter.

It's just that he didn't get angry, but patiently read all the regulations, then raised his eyes, looked at Xu Qian, and said lightly: "This book, but Xu Butang wrote it?" ”

He deliberately accentuated the word "ministry", and I don't know if it was sarcastic.

Xu Qian nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Yang Tinghe's eyelids drooped, he just smiled faintly, and then handed over the charter to Yang Yiqing, and said, "You can come and see." ”

After that, Yang Tinghe was silent.

Yang Yiqing also felt that something was wrong, and after taking the charter, he read it carefully, and immediately sneered: "What kind of charter is this, it's just nonsense, nonsense!" ”

Xu Qian had expected this result a long time ago, so he was not angry, but said calmly: "Dare to ask my lord, why is it nonsense?" Is there anything wrong with the contents? Or are these policies not enough to solve the problem at hand? ”

Yang Yiqing sneered: "In the household department, that's where you have a flamboyant tongue, but here, it's not a place for you to mess around, you play books and talk nonsense, the old man doesn't care about you, the old man just wants to sue you, this matter, you can't do this." ”

Xu Qianzheng said: "Whether it can be done or not, at least a court meeting must be held, and what is the result of the court discussion, this is the most important thing, and the lower officials beg to convene a court meeting to discuss this matter." ”

If there is a disagreement between ordinary ministers, they often have to convene a court meeting to resolve it, and Xu Qian, as the head of the household department, is also a court boss, and he does have a reason to convene a court meeting.

The first chapter is delivered, asking for a monthly pass.
