The 90 percent of the idle officials who were transferred were gathered to study the new tax law in a surprise way.

After a few months of unannounced training, they will join eight teams in the household tax department to collect taxes from a certain social class.

This wave of job transfers has really caused many officials who were originally idle to lose their official status and become officials with lower welfare benefits, and it is difficult to say when they will be able to restore their official status.

In this wave of job transfers, Liu Bei eliminated more than 400 official posts and added more than 400 strong laborers to the tax department, which was in dire need of manpower.

At the same time, Liu Bei also clearly informed all departments of the imperial court that the imperial court does not raise idlers, and if you want to do things in the imperial court, you must make achievements, and the model of raising idlers in the past should not be thought too much about in the Third Empire, at least under his hands.

But if anyone dares to do such a thing, the consequences will never be simple.

This large-scale transfer operation is mainly aimed at the tax department of the household department, and the tax work is the focus of Liu Bei's work in the next period of time, and the creation of a new tax system on the basis of the tax work of the Second Empire is of great significance to Liu Bei and the Third Empire.

And this time, the person who fully grasped the tax work was Gu Yong, who was transferred back by Liu Bei from the position of Langya County Guard.

In August, Liu Bei decided to transfer Gu Yong back to Luoyang from Langya County, so that he could serve as the left attendant of the household department, and also lead the work of the tax department, and take charge of the work of the tax department, and he was responsible for the dispatch of all the personnel of the eight teams of the tax department.

Because the tax department has a large number of people, accounting for two-fifths of the household department, people say that the withdrawal of the tax department is equivalent to the withdrawal of half of the household department, and the status will be quite important.

During Liu Bei's reign, this was the first time that an official from Jiangdong could achieve such a high position and hold such a heavy power in the central government, which was a breakthrough for Gu Yong, the Gu family, and even for the people of Jiangdong.

The Eastern Han Dynasty court appointed some high-ranking officials in Jiangdong, such as Zhu Jun, who had some dealings with Liu Bei back then.

However, after Zhu Jun returned to his hometown Ding Wei, a major change occurred in the imperial court, and there was no room for him to play, and he later thought about returning to Luoyang, but it was the peak moment of-for-tat between Liu Bei Group and Yuan Kui Group, and no one paid attention to him.

When Liu Bei remembered Zhu Jun again, Zhu Jun had already died of illness.

Liu Bei was a little sorry.

Mainly at that time, Liu Bei already had Gu Yong and Lu Kang under his command, and with the Gu family and the Lu family, two families with high status in Jiangdong, it can be regarded as opening up the situation in Jiangdong, and it is no longer meaningful to have one more Zhu Jun or one less Zhu Jun.

And for Gu Yong, Liu Bei also knows a little.

When he was by his side as a peng, Liu Bei noticed that although Gu Yong was taciturn and not good at socializing, he was very particular about the rules, and he was willing to abide by them, he was strict with himself, and he also had considerable requirements for others.

Such a character is very useful for Liu Bei.

Moreover, Gu Yong is a native of Jiangdong, and the Gu family is not a large clan that is famous all over the country at this moment, but only a representative clan that encloses itself in the Jiangdong region, and has no nationwide interpersonal relationships and influence, so it has no collusion with the interests of people in the Central Plains.

It was Liu Bei who promoted him, and he didn't have any other friends, which meant that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Luoyang, he had to rely on Liu Bei, and he would do his best for what Liu Bei handed over to him.

So after some thought, Liu Bei called Gu Yong back to Luoyang, appointed him as the left attendant of the household department, collected taxes, and was fully responsible for collecting taxes from the people of the world, especially high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

This is a relatively difficult task, and if it is not done well, it will offend many people, but it doesn't matter, when Liu Bei was appointed, he had already made a low deal with Gu Yong, and planned to grant the right to arm the tax officials who had been formally trained and assessed.

And in the later stage, when the operation of the tax department is more mature and has the ability to collect taxes in an all-round way, it can break away from the general framework of the household department and set up a separate tax department to specialize in taxation, and at that time, the tax department will become a powerful department with a strong deterrent effect on the world.

Gu Yong longed for such a prospect, but he also knew very well what this department and this position meant, so when Liu Bei added manpower to him, he also paid great attention to the selection and training of responsible personnel.

When the official department conducts the examination, the content of the tax officer examination is the relevant theoretical proposition of Gu Yong's organization of the tax department, which ensures that the selected people have basic knowledge and come to the tax department.

You can't stuff everyone into the tax department when they come, and the basic character and morality still have to be tested.

The selection of officials was in full swing, the imperial court was also busy, and the whole world was actively repairing the "labor pains" brought about by the successful promotion of the Dutian Decree.

In such a tense and busy atmosphere, the last day of the first year of Zhenguan quietly slipped away, and the second year of Zhenguan arrived.

At the New Year's meeting in the second year of Zhenguan, Liu Bei issued a New Year's edict, and he had many expectations for the new year.

He hoped that this year, everyone could work together to solve the problems left over from the previous war, heal the wounds of the war, and settle the people who lost their homes, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.

Then, he hoped that everyone could simultaneously promote the work of land granting, allocate the fields that people should get to them, and increase the amount of fields owned by hard-working people, so that they can resume production as soon as possible, increase grain production, and bring more confidence to resist possible natural disasters.

Next, Liu Bei officially announced the compilation and publication of "Jiade Tongyi" at the New Year's court.

He officially announced that the "Jiade Tongyi", which had been compiled for two and a half years, had been officially completed, and that the Third Han Empire finally had its own fundamental law since the status of the "Han Law" was established.

In nature, the Guardian General Doctrine is the constitution of the Third Reich, and all the official and non-governmental codes of conduct of the Third Reich are described and stipulated in detail.

From the Third Reich's enterprising state policy of openness, progress, exploration, and strategy, to the marriage and funeral customs of ordinary people, and even the prohibition of concubinage, family life, and domestic violence in personal life.

After all, the Han Empire was in a medieval era, a typical classical empire, from the fall of the Qin Dynasty, which founded the rule of the dynasty, it has only been more than 400 years, and many things that people are accustomed to today either did not appear at that time, or are still shocking and even completely unreasonable.

People generally don't know what they should and shouldn't do, or many people don't know what they can and can't do, and the government has its own views on this aspect, and there is no unity of opinion within them.

In the era when Confucianism dominated the discourse, there were generally two voices within the Han Empire government, one was to deal with the Spring and Autumn Prison Break as the main way to deal with it, and the other was to use the Han Law as the main basis for dealing with it, and each of them had their own supporters.

However, the disadvantage of the Spring and Autumn Prison Break is that there are not too many cases in the Spring and Autumn Book to determine all the difficult problems that will occur in the world in the future, and many times the Confucian scholars engaged in judicial work cannot find the relevant basis and have to rely on Han Law to solve this problem.

Therefore, there was a relatively common controversy at the time about what should be used as the absolute basis for adjudicating a case.

Therefore, no one can explain how the people of the White Empire should live in order to completely avoid all lawsuits, and no one really knows.

Even those who work in the judiciary themselves do not know how to deal with this problem.

Therefore, an all-encompassing "constitution" is very meaningful to everyone living in this land.

And because this book is completely open to the public, and can even be published and distributed, Liu Bei also plans to publish it on a large scale, so as long as you can read and write, and have a little money, everyone can take a copy of "Jiade Tongyi" to see how the state regulates their daily life.

After reading this "Constitution", people know how to live in the Third Reich correctly, what they can do, what they should do, and how to avoid risks.

From this point of view, "The Guardian Tongyi" can even be said to be a "basic guide" that everyone living in the Third Reich should read.

Liu Bei hopes that from this moment on, the influence of alienated Confucianism on the Han Empire in the past three hundred years will be slowly removed, some strange cognitions will be reversed, and an all-round change will be carried out in the Middle Ages, when everything is not too late.

It is not only a change in rules and regulations, but also a change that touches people's souls, and Liu Bei hopes to cut and burn this big net woven by Confucianism for the people of the entire empire.

As for the overly deep strangulation marks caused by this big net wrapped around people, it may not be eliminated for a while, but as long as the big net is removed and no longer binds people, then sooner or later, everything will change.

Filled with an open and enterprising spirit, the "Jiade Tongyi" will fundamentally reverse the Han Empire's thinking of mainly internal governance, reverse the habitual thinking of pursuing stability, and turn to external development.

At this point, Liu Bei did not believe that the imperial dynasty could give up stability to pursue anything, and maintaining the stability of the rule was a natural pursuit of a government, even a modern government, so it was unrealistic to expect the ruler to give up stability.

However, in the way of maintaining stability, Liu Bei hopes to reverse the inertial thinking under the Confucian discourse, that is, to adjust the way of competing for stock to the way of striving for increment.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the population was sparse and the increment was huge, in this case, the stability of the system could be easily maintained, and all social strata could benefit from the increase, and everyone was still at peace.

But with the passage of time and the growth of the population, the increment is exhausted, and the competition for stock becomes the mainstream of the continued development of the individual.

At this moment, the contradiction between the strong and the weak will become extremely acute, and whether the competition for stock can be controlled by the imperial system and not get out of control will become an important factor in whether the imperial system can continue to continue.

Some rulers are ambitious and skillful, and they can reduce the growth rate of contradictions by curbing the cruelty of stock competition, and carry out a certain degree of restriction and redistribution of stock society, so as to maintain the stability of the system and continue the existence of the system.

However, this is only a way to prolong life, not a solution to the problem, but a direct or indirect solution to some of the people who raised the problem, and to delay the development of the contradiction by relatively cruel means.

Many more rulers do not possess this critical ability, and can only watch the brutal struggle and constant chaos of the stock society.

In the end, a group of incompetent rulers watched as the stock became more and more concentrated in the hands of the few, the majority was squeezed out of the stock society, and survival became a problem, and finally in despair they went to destruction, or to the last resistance.

Whichever path they take, it means that the system is going to collapse, the social order is completely collapsed, and then the imperial dynasty enters the next cycle of increment and stock.

When a society enters a stock society, the contradictions and problems are all-round, and they cannot be solved by one or two reforms or by killing one or two people, and there are only two real solutions to the problems.

One is to develop productive forces through the technological revolution, create a new internal incremental point, and once again drive the society into an incremental society.

The other is that when technology cannot be revolutionized, we will open up the outside and create new incremental points with new spaces.

All in all, it is to create a new incremental point, so that the society can once again enter the incremental mode and continue to develop.

If it is not done, the stock society will collapse sooner or later, and the people will be left with desperate suffering, which will be a high-intensity war, a war that will destroy everything, and will make most people die.

For most of the period in ancient China, the possibility of technological revolution did not exist, and even if there was occasional small technological progress, it could not reach the bottom of the revolution, so foreign development was the only means to enter the incremental society.

While Liu Bei is working hard to promote the development of science and technology, he also knows that this thing cannot be fast, and what can really solve the problem is external development, and external development is used as a solution for internal stability.

Anyway, he couldn't watch the Third Reich he had built go to the stock society without finding a new growth point, and finally started the brutal involution mode, coming to an end in waves of internal turmoil.

He wants to do everything he can to find a sustainable path that can provide more possibilities for future generations.

And once this kind of thinking becomes an inertial thinking similar to Confucianism's discourse, that dead circle can be regarded as being jumped out of the Third Reich.
