0472 Relay Race
The Tang Kingdom has a population of millions and tens of thousands of officials, how does Wen Yi determine who is suitable for which positions? This is also thanks to the Wei Wei Division, and more specifically Zhao Zhengzhi.
The Wei Wei Division has investigated all the officials in the country and screened talents from them, and it can be said that he almost knows what are the more outstanding people in the country, and there is a thick book around him that records all the lists.
Later, Chang Zhu took over the Weiwei Division and Zhao Zhengzhi retreated to the second line, and Wen Yi asked him to give full play to his spare heat to help record the recent situation of these talents.
Therefore, he can accurately select the right talents from various departments to join the new department.
Although Wu Ba was an official of the Ministry of Commerce, he went to the Japanese slave island to rebel, went to the Nanyang Islands to capture slaves, and dealt with merchants from various countries in the Central Plains.
It is very appropriate for him to be responsible for formulating the tax law and determining the specific taxation standards.
Wu Ming, the chief catcher of the six doors, talks about the rules but is ruthless and will not tolerate mercy. And he also has ambitions, very heavy ambitions, such a person can quickly assemble an anti-smuggling team.
The Anti-Smuggling Department is not only used to investigate and deal with smuggling, but also has a major role in investigating tax evasion and evasion.
In the past, the State Administration of Taxation of the United States issued a report that was very gratifying: the goods participating in the zero-yuan purchase must be taxed according to the market price, or they will be returned, otherwise they will be regarded as tax evasion.
Combined with the previous decree on the legality of zero-yuan purchases, it is even more joyful.
The state can't control it, so it has to declare zero-dollar purchases legal, and then the tax department stands up and says that you have to pay taxes, otherwise you will be punished.
Well...... Anyway, in his previous life, Wen Yi really wanted to laugh when he saw this.
But on the other hand, this just shows that the US imperialists attach great importance to the tax department. I can admit that you rob legally, but you have to pay taxes.
Taxation is related to the life and death of the country, and only when there is money can the country operate, can it balance the forces of all parties, can it carry out major projects, and can it go to disaster relief......
In short, everything is inseparable from money, and if you can't collect taxes, you will not be far from the country, and those dynasties in ancient China have proved this truth with their collapse again and again.
Tax law is important, as is the ability to collect taxes.
If Tang Guo wants to do more things and go further, the tax department must be set up, and Wenyi is ready to build the tax department in accordance with the standards of the IRS.
However, as an emperor, Wen Yi naturally doesn't worry about the formation of a department every day, even if it is a very important tax department.
After deciding on the general policy and transferring capable personnel from various departments, we went on to work on other things.
Soon 3067 (370) years passed, 3068 (371) years came, and this year's New Year was very lively in the Tang Kingdom.
Not only the homeland of Dongning and Luzon, but also the people in the newly occupied land of Yanjin are also happy, and the land reform has really changed the fate of too many people.
Maybe they're poor, maybe they don't even have a decent piece of clothing. However, they finally got a land of their own, and for the people of the agricultural civilization, the land they owned had hope.
In addition, the Tang Kingdom was fully tax-exempt this year, and the people could receive as much grain as they wanted, even if the grain output in this era was very low, every household had a certain amount of surplus grain after deducting a year's rations.
But instead of spending money on it, the miserable people saved it – just in case.
What if the policy changes? What if there is a disaster? In short, you can't spend it indiscriminately.
But no matter what, if you have food in your hand and don't panic, the New Year will naturally be more festive and more flavorful.
After the year, the weather gradually warmed up, and the first phase of the Grand Canal, that is, the channel connecting the northern capital to Luoyang, was initially connected.
Wen Yi finally decided to move the capital.
Although Luoyang is only temporary, they have been working here for nearly a year. There are still a lot of official documents and the like, and it is not easy to move them out.
But fortunately, they have long known that they are going to migrate, and they are ready for this when they usually put it up.
Moreover, this migration operation was also very well arranged, with a total of more than 400 ships dispatched to form a small fleet of more than 30 boats.
Each fleet copes with a department, which again allocates specific ships according to their different responsibilities.
Each department only needs to carry its own things to the corresponding ship to avoid the confusion caused by this.
Half a month later, everything was ready, and Wen Yi led the civil and military officials to embark on the road to the northern capital.
On the way, looking at the people who were still widening the river along the way, Wen Yi said: "The people are the foundation of all miracles, without them, there would be all this." ”
Chen Xiu said: "Yes, I didn't understand why Your Majesty always said this, and I didn't even agree with it. The world is the elite in action, and the people are just tools, how can it be so important. ”
"Now I understand that the people are the foundation of everything, and nothing can be done without the so-called elites of the people. And without the elite, the people will still be able to survive, and a steady stream of new elites will be born. ”
"The people gave birth to the elite in the hope that they could guide and lead everyone to live better, but the elites lost their way, and they began to turn their heads and enslave the mother who gave birth to them."
"Fortunately, I met Your Majesty, so I can understand this truth in time."
Wen Yi shook his head and smiled: "You are not suitable to say such words that praise people, it is too blunt." The idea of people-oriented is not self-proposing, and the ancients put it forward very early. ”
"Guan Zhong's wealth is in the people, and Mencius bluntly said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light; Han Feizi believes that it is necessary to use the law to restrain the monarchy...... The chapter on etiquette and fortune puts forward the ...... of the world of great harmony and the well-off world"
"I'm just summarizing the thoughts of my predecessors, it's nothing, it's the predecessors who are really worthy of admiration."
Huan Wen interjected on the side: "Your Majesty often says that you don't have to be thick with the past and the present, only by constantly surpassing the world of your predecessors will you make progress, so why should you attribute your achievements to your predecessors now." ”
"The ancients did put forward similar or similar ideas, but none of them were in-depth or systematic. His Majesty has strung together these fragments of knowledge to form a completely new ideological system that has surpassed its predecessors. ”
Xie An also said: "Although the predecessors have proposed the world of Datong, they have not pointed out the path to realization, and they have not been able to learn the scriptures for hundreds of years. ”
"Your Majesty has found a new path...... It is a great blessing in life to be born in this era and to accompany His Majesty in the implementation of the New Deal. ”
Being praised by so many people, Wen Yi couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and laughed: "Haha...... The road traveled by our predecessors, whether successful or not, is an experience for us, and we are standing on the shoulders of our predecessors to move forward. ”
"Whether the road we are taking now can really lead to the world of Datong can only be known by future generations. But in the same way, whether we succeed or not, we will provide a reference direction for future generations. ”
"To put it mildly, sooner or later, we will also become stones under the feet of future generations. This is a relay race, and through the efforts of generation after generation, sooner or later mankind will be able to realize the world of great harmony. ”
