Chapter 151: Jiayou's New Deal
Wang Anshi's change is to start from the three aspects of enriching the country, strengthening the army, and taking soldiers, and the law of the rich country is the green seedling law, the recruitment law, the square land average tax law, the farmland water conservancy law, the city easy law, and the equal loss law; The laws of strengthening the army are the law of armor protection, the law of military reduction, the law of generals, the law of protecting horses, and the law of ordnance supervision; The method of taking scholars is the method of tribute and the method of three rounding.
Li Hao didn't plan to mention the method of strengthening soldiers and taking soldiers now, firstly, his identity was not suitable, and secondly, Li Hao did not think that in the last few years of Zhao Zhen's life, he could still support the implementation of large-scale reform of the law, which was unrealistic.
Moreover, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi would not be so unwise and make a big deal at this stage.
Relative to the elimination of paralysis, today's Great Song courtiers hope that the court situation is stable.
In addition, according to the information that Li Hao learned from later generations, during the Jiayou period, he returned to Beijing with old ministers like Fu Bi, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, who had participated in the Qingli New Deal.
In fact, small-scale reforms have already begun, and their obvious sign is the imperial examination presided over by Ouyang Xiu in the second year of Jiayou.
When Li Hao sorted out the program for changing the law, he relied on this direction to sort out and summarize.
Therefore, among the remaining laws of rich countries, the Qingmiao Law was first abandoned by Li Hao, and the official loans made by government actions were carried out by government actions, unless they were engaged in policy poverty alleviation loans like modern times, and they did not consider profits but focused on getting farmers out of poverty and becoming rich, not afraid of losses.
Otherwise, the implementation of the Seedlings Law will certainly become a tool for officials to make profits and whitewash their achievements, and become a policy to harm the people.
As for the conscription law, Li Hao combined with Sima Guang's later improved law to uniformly implement the exemption law for all the people, but when he clearly undertook the former service, he first selected the officials in the local government to serve, on the grounds that they often walked around the government and were familiar with the behavior of the government, which could reduce losses, and they were experts and were not easy to be squeezed by the government;
Of course, there is also a very important point, that is, they have money, and if something happens, they can ask them for compensation.
In addition, it is allowed to legalize substitute service, and if the people are not willing to go on business service, they can find someone to serve on their behalf, and the price will be negotiated by themselves.
The choice was given to the people themselves, and the price of hired labor was also set by the people themselves, eliminating the need for corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the people.
At the same time, because the service is a different burden according to the household, the property level is re-verified to prevent the officials from increasing the burden of the poor household.
With the introduction of the administrative reconsideration system, ordinary people can put forward a request for reclassification if they feel that they are not being classified, and together they can verify their property and determine the grade of errand service that they should bear.
Then Fang Tianjun tax law, this is the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's change of law, there are extremely important content, although the results are not implemented, but Li Hao wrote it as it is, it doesn't matter whether you can do it or not, but you have to mention it.
The farmland water conservancy law was also retained, but in it, Li Hao emphasized that the rights of officials in it should be restricted, so as to prevent local officials from forcing the people to build water conservancy for their own political achievements, increasing the burden on the people.
As for the market law and the equalization law, in view of the fact that in actual use, in addition to restricting the hoarding of large businessmen, the interests of small and medium-sized merchants are more harmful.
Once the management officials want to make a profit from this, and degenerate into a state monopoly on the market, the source of goods, and the price, the wholesale and retail of goods will also be manipulated by government officials.
Regarding the official qualities of the Great Song Dynasty officials, Li Hao has been too clear over the years.
There are naturally good officials, but a large number of officials are definitely not trustworthy, so in this regard, Li Hao still draws more from the Ming and Qing dynasties to stabilize prices.
At the time of implementation, every effort was made to limit the role of the government in it, and a system of monthly new year's hopes, various brokers, careful comparisons, and price visits was established.
In the next two days, Li Hao continued to improve this strategy plan at home, saving who he met when he went out, and what difficult things to arrange for himself.
Of course, after writing it, Li Hao didn't go directly to Ouyang Xiu to show it, but continued to look for some data in the third division.
The whole format is in accordance with the format of later papers, and strives to be detailed and accurate, and the data sources are listed.
Of course, Li Hao's purpose is not only to improve the plan.
same
Shi still found a suitable reason for himself, although Li Hao felt that Ouyang Xiu would definitely believe in himself.
But after all, I don't have actual experience in the place, and if I take out these things out of thin air, there will always be malicious speculation.
But if you can list the data from this and deduce the content based on it, then it is reasonable to give others a reason to believe, and that is enough.
According to the specific situation that can be found, Li Hao has revised the monopoly system of salt administration and tea administration in the plan, borrowing the reform that has been done before, and making adjustments, in order to be more in line with today's situation.
And when Li Hao was busy writing the law change plan, Ouyang Xiu had already taken the account books made by Li Hao and entered the palace to see Zhao Zhen.
After looking at these account books, Zhao Zhen asked, "These account books are all sorted out by Li Hao!"
Ouyang Xiu replied: "It is indeed he who personally sorted it out, the data in it is all liquidated by Li Hao in the past three months, and I have also checked it these days, and there is no problem with it."
Zhao Zhen looked at the final summary of the account book and couldn't help but say, "Originally, although I also knew that the treasury was empty, I didn't expect it to be so bad.
The only thing that has improved in the past few years is in the Qingli period, and I knew that today, I should stick to the original change.
If Fan Wenzhenggong could have completed the change back then, how could he become what he is now, this is all my fault."
Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said: "The official's words are wrong, we were too radical when the new policy was implemented, so many law change measures were not considered and enforced, which led to the failure of the later matter, and it was definitely not the fault of the official.
The minister didn't intend to mention this old matter again, but after reading these account books, the minister knew that restarting the reform of the law was a top priority, and he must not delay it."
What Ouyang Xiu said was of course reasonable, but Zhao Zhen always had some scruples and said, "The Qing family also knows the situation in the court now.
It's not that I don't want to support it, but to change the law at this time, if it causes turmoil in the government and the opposition, it won't be as easy to calm down as it was during the Qingli period."
Ouyang Xiu explained, "The ministers naturally understand this matter, so at least in the palace, they have discussed this matter with the two prime ministers.
The ministers understand that it is not easy to change the law, it involves many things, and all kinds of powerful relationships are intertwined, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.
At that time, the ministers made the mistake of being eager to save the government and eager to achieve the goal, which turned into a dispute between the old and new parties, causing turmoil in the government and the opposition.
Therefore, in this change, the ministers and others are ready to come quietly, first deal with unimportant issues, and deepen the reform step by step.
At the same time, it is necessary to cultivate a consensus between the government and the opposition, so that the hundred officials can slowly accept the move of changing the law and trying to become stronger, so as to do so.
If you really encounter any problems, you can solve them in a timely manner and not cause too many disputes between the DPRK and China."
After Zhao Zhen listened to it, he thought that what Ouyang Xiu said was also right, and at the same time, the current situation was also telling Zhao Zhen that the change was imminent.
So he said, "Okay, then it's hard work for the Qing family, and the matter of changing the law will be handled by the Qing family and the two ministers.
But remember not to be impatient, but to deal with the changes from the small to the large, from the shallow to the deep."
After hearing Zhao Zhen's agreement, Ouyang Xiu immediately thanked him: "Thank you to the official family, the minister will first go to discuss the reform details with the two ministers, and after the list is listed, he will hand it over to the official family."
Then Ouyang Xiu went to the political affairs hall, and the two ministers were waiting for news here.
After hearing that this matter had been agreed by Zhao Zhen, both of them were also very happy, after all, the failure of Qingli's new deal was a heavy blow to them.
Now that they have the opportunity to do it again, they have to take advantage of it.
Then Han Qi said, "Since the official family agrees, then follow what we discussed before.
This change starts with the Fangtian Tax Law, and now let's decide where to put this trial in place."
Ouyang Xiu said: "This matter must not be placed near Bianjing, there are too many eunuchs here, and there is too much resistance.
But you can't be too far away from Bianjing, so as not to
out of our grasp."
After a few people pondered, Han Qi said, "Then let's set the trial site on Yongxing Military Road, where there are not many scholars, and the resistance will not be great.
And it's not too far from Bianjing, so it's convenient for us to understand the situation."
Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really good, so they settled down.
After confirming the location, the only thing left to consider was the question of who was the host, and at this time Ouyang Xiu directly proposed: "I think it is best for Guo to handle this matter, he proposed Fang Tian's move, and he also has the experience of dealing with Fang Tian's affairs in Zhaozhou."
For this, the other two ministers also had no opinion, so they decided to Guo Zheng and transferred him to the Yamen of the Third Division to preside over the implementation of the Fangtian Tax Law on Yongxing Military Road.
After discussing, the three of them drafted a concert together, explained the matter to Zhao Zhen, and then waited for Zhao Zhen's reply.
In the end, Zhao Zhen did not delay, and soon this piece was agreed by Zhao Zhen, and it was sent to the political affairs hall, and the seal signed by Fu Bi was passed to Guo Zheng.
So this low-profile version of the Qingli change, the Jiayou change was officially formed, and the main host candidates are also a group of veterans who have participated in the Qingli New Deal.
Of course, Li Hao didn't know about these things for the time being, until the law change plan compiled by Li Hao was sorted out and perfected, and was sent to Ouyang Xiu by Li Hao.
It's just a coincidence that when Li Hao came, Ouyang Xiu was already discussing with Guo Yan how to implement the reform of Fang Tianjun's tax law.
And Ouyang Xiu didn't have too many expectations for what Li Hao wrote.
Then he asked Li Hao to put down his things and retreated.
And this result was three days to wait, and this was because Ouyang Xiu found that he had an inexplicable manuscript on his desk, and he didn't react to what it was for a while.
However, when I took it in my hand and saw that the handwriting on it was Li Hao's, I remembered that this was the law change plan written by Li Hao.
So he read it curiously, Ouyang Xiu didn't care about it at first glance, he just wanted to take a rough look, so as to analyze the pros and cons, so that he could also give Li Hao a comment.
But when I saw the back, the more I looked at it, the more fascinated I became, synthesizing the data summarized by Li Hao, and matching them with various suggestions, Ouyang Xiu who watched it was amazing.
Then he took the manuscript, got up and left the lobby, and went to find Li Hao.
Coincidentally, Li Hao was really not there at this time, because Li Hao's letter of appointment had already been sent to the British government.
And the two sides have set a date for recruitment, and Li Hao needs to send the dowry to people on that day.
Today, Wei's side has roughly given the proposed gift list, so let people call Li Hao to go back to his house to see if there is any problem, if not, he will officially register it.
It just so happened that Li Hao had just finished the matter at hand, and Ouyang Xiu didn't send anything to Li Hao in the follow-up, so he was idle.
So he said hello to his colleagues and left the third division.
And this time he left his post without permission, and as a result, he just missed Ouyang Xiu and made him catch it.
Just as Ouyang Xiu was waiting, Li Hao finally returned to the Third Division.
It's just that Li Hao's purpose is to ask for leave.
Because Li Hao thought of what Zhao Zhen said at the beginning, he asked him to tell Zhao Zhen before he was hired that he had an additional reward.
Therefore, Ouyang Xiu, who Li Hao came to find, wanted to officially ask for leave and go to the palace to see Zhao Zhen.
Of course, at this time, Li Hao didn't know that he had been discovered by leaving his post without permission.
When Li Hao found Ouyang Xiu, he was just about to ask for leave, when he saw Ouyang Xiu and said, "Where did you just go, when you left your post without reason when you went to the office, you not only have to be punished, but you also have to be punished."
As soon as Li Hao heard this, he immediately thought that Ouyang Xiu must have gone to find him, but he didn't know how long he had been waiting, so lying must be unreliable, and he couldn't get it right.
So he explained, "No way, just now my mother came to me, saying that the dowry at home was ready, and she wanted to start sealing the box.
Originally, I said I wouldn't go, but my mother didn't feel at ease and had to ask me to see it
At a glance, I made a temporary run.
I thought it was a small thing, and I came back soon without asking for leave."
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu didn't delve into it, and said directly: "Forget it, this time I will send you a monthly salary to set an example, next time you can't do this again."
Li Hao thanked: "Thank you uncle for your understanding, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Then Ouyang Xiu said: "Then how is the specific preparation of your family's dowry, after all, you are married to the only daughter of a British duke, if the dowry list is simple, it will not sound good to say."
Li Hao replied: "Uncle, don't worry, my house still has some furniture, and this time my mother also made a lot of money.
There are nineteen boxes in total, all of which are solid, and there are a lot of gold, silver, and satin, which is almost half of my family's net worth."
Ouyang Xiu said, "The benefits of this marriage to you are far more important than these wealth, so you don't want to be reluctant.
And the British prince will not care about these treasures, and will definitely carry them back to your family as a dowry, or your family's things."
Li Hao replied, "Even if she brings it back, it is her dowry, and it is at her disposal, what does it have to do with me."
Ouyang Xiu naturally knew that Li Hao was deliberately crying poor, but he still said, "Forget it, for the sake of your spending so much, I still won't deduct it for you."
At this time, Li Hao was happy and said, "Then thank you uncle, but is there something my uncle is looking for me, don't you be in a hurry.
If I'm not in a hurry, I just want to take a leave of absence and go to the palace.
The official family asked me to inform me before I was hired, saying that I would give something as a dowry.
But I was busy with the account books before, and I forgot about it all of a sudden, and I only remembered it when I saw the dowry today.
I don't have to be corrupt from the officials, but this is the glory given by the officials, and I don't want to be wrong."
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu thought about it, and it happened that he was going to show Li Hao's law change provisions to the official family and the two prime ministers, so he said, "That's right, I'm going to enter the palace soon, you can go with me."
Li Hao naturally has no opinion on this, and he can just take a ride.
On the carriage, Ouyang Xiu took out the method change strategy written by Li Hao and confirmed, "This set of strategies was given to me by you, did you come up with these things yourself?"
Li Hao replied, "Of course I thought about it, what's wrong, is there any problem?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, Ouyang Xiu naturally believed Li Hao, but after all, this matter was to be reported to Zhao Zhen, and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to clean up.
So Ouyang Xiu thought about verifying it himself to ensure that nothing went wrong.
So he pulled out the questions and discussed them with Li Hao.
And of course, this is not difficult for Li Hao, as the issues discussed continue to deepen, Ouyang Xiu finally confirmed that these were written by Li Hao, so he was relieved.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the two separated first.
Ouyang Xiu needs to go to the political hall first, discuss the situation with Fu Bi and Han Qi, and report to Zhao Zhen.
And Li Hao went straight to the Funing Palace, ready to ask Zhao Zhen for a dowry.
