Volume 1 Chapter 170 Reform of the Salt Minister's Rule
Needless to say, reforming the rule of officials has become a strategy of Chen Sesame and rotten grain.
To put it bluntly, it is still up to people to govern the country, and only by choosing the right people can we do the right thing.
"A few officials from the Salt Division can solve the problem? Hehe, you're still too young! Chen Hua scoffed at the first point.
Xu He had already guessed that he would behave like this, and he was not angry, now the battle of words is useless, it is better to solve the problem.
"Lord County, although the officials have to change officials, it is more urgent to change the system!"
"System?" Chen Hua was even more disdainful, "I don't know how many bullet stamps are targeted against the Salt Division every year, those young officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which one is not to reform, and which one is not to start from the system!" But when it comes to how to change it, do these people have a pertinent and feasible suggestion? ”
Xu He nodded: "How to change it, I'll try to talk about it, don't worry, don't worry, if I don't say it right, it's not too late for you to refute it!" ”
Although Chen Hua heard this, although there was still contempt on his face, he finally stopped talking.
Xu He thought for a while and said: "In view of the employment of the Salt Division, I think the first thing to do is to change the criticism of the officials of the Salt Division from the concept!" ”
The Great Wei Dynasty was very strange, and each local government collected the regular tax and various miscellaneous taxes in accordance with the quota stipulated by the imperial court, and first intercepted its own share, and then handed over the rest to the ministry.
There are 13 Qing Officials Division under the Ministry of Officials, which are in charge of the provincial branches.
In other words, in fact, the fiscal and tax power of the Great Wei Dynasty was divided by various local governments, at least thirteen provinces.
The taxes actually controlled by the state include the surpluses of the provinces and taxes on salt, tea, mines, mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers.
In particular, the salt tax can be said to be one of the most important revenues of the national treasury if you don't drink tea, but not to eat salt.
But for such an important position, many Qingliu are unwilling to do it.
They naturally feel that the officials of the Salt Division are miscellaneous officials, and most of the officials who want to go to the Salt Division to become officials are the kind of officials who do not report their expectations for their careers and want to take the opportunity to make a lot of money and go home to retire.
There is also a white glove that represents all forces and gathers funds for the forces behind them.
Just imagine, will such officials be sincerely responsible for the development of the salt industry and the basic livelihood of the stove?
It can't be, their heads are full of money, money, money.
So how can we reverse these officials' deep-rooted notions of making money?
In other words, the imperial court wanted to open the ascending channel for the officials of the salt department.
If you can't study for decades, you won't have a chance to be promoted when you work in the Salt Division, and if you do that, even if you wear out your mouth, those officials who have expectations for the future and want to progress will not come to the Salt Division.
And those officials who want to be promoted, don't talk about ideals and ambitions, just say that in order to achieve the goal of promotion, they will automatically and consciously restrain themselves in terms of money, because after all, what they seek is not money, or what they are seeking for the time being is not money!
After Xu He's analysis, Chen Hua nodded secretly in his heart.
Indeed, he also has a few good Fujian fellow villagers who are officials abroad, and when these fellow villagers are promoted, they would rather waste time in their positions and wait for the officials to be promoted to the post of the government in a step-by-step manner, rather than be promoted to the Yamen of the Salt Division.
Because everyone is not stupid, go to the Salt Division, then you will be labeled as "career termination" in your life, some are only in their forties, it is the prime of life officials, after entering the Salt Division, at most to do the transfer of the envoy to the end, yes, all the transfer from the third grade, the same knowledge of the Salt Division from the fourth grade.
But how many of the two capitals and 13 provinces have been transferred to the Yamen? 6, all of them are transferred to the position of the envoy and the same acquaintance to add up to twelve.
Hehe, everyone doesn't stay, put the Sunshine Avenue and don't go to Bo 1 in 12 possible?
Chen Hua recognized the first point Xu He said, and then asked, "What else?" ”
Xu He said confidently: "The officials of the Salt Division are also officials of our Great Wei Dynasty, so they naturally have to be tested by the officials of the north and south, but this is not good, and a special merit punishment system must be set up for the Salt Division!" ”
"First, send people to check the salt production, the salt soldiers will arrest and sell smuggled salt, and only when the official salt is sufficient can the government generate finance and taxes, otherwise it will fatten officials at all levels and make the stove hard, but the court will help these people to bear the blame!"
"The salt farm inspects the instruments and tools every five years, and these things are all nationalized, and they cannot be sold privately, and the grass beach and reeds must also be state-owned, that is, all the tools and materials related to salt production are all owned by the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to occupy them!"
Chen Hua looked at Xu He in surprise and said meaningfully: "If this is the case, your Xu family will suffer a big loss!" ”
Xu He smiled slightly: "I just said that I came this time, not only for the Xu family, but also for the well-being of the cooks in the two Huai salt farms!" ”
Chen Hua obviously didn't believe what Xu He said, but he didn't say anything.
"Third, the ambassadors and deputy envoys of the Warehouse Approval Institute are all changed every three years, and they are not allowed to serve in their hometowns!"
Dou Ma Tong's matter is already very illustrative, their family is rooted in the tea, it is simply the emperor of the soil, the judge of the salt division comes and goes, and his family does not move, in the long run, the stoves are firmly controlled by these families, in case they meet an invitation to buy people's hearts, this is also a great social instability!
This made Chen Hua convinced, because the Dou family they were in at this time was terrifyingly big. This simply refreshed Chen Hua's inherent perception of these miscellaneous petty officials.
"Just now, these are all the annual inspection requirements of the officials of the Salt Division, and if there is a problem, you must be held accountable!"
"On the contrary!" Xu He continued: "If these things are done well, there is no such situation during the tenure of the officials of the Salt Division, and according to the increase in salt production, please give the officials of the Salt Division excellent results!" ”
Xu He concluded: "In other words, the officials of the Salt Division are operational officials, and the assessment work for them is not only the basic requirements of officials, but also the operational requirements!" Both must be grasped, and both must be grasped! ”
When Chen Hua heard this, he finally sat up straight, and he no longer dared to underestimate the young man in front of him.
Seeing him like this, Xu He smiled slightly: "The imperial court wants to reward and punish the officials of the salt department, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to be famous, and the finger uniform is specified, as long as it is effectively implemented, in this way, I estimate that the salt tax will be doubled in three years, and the salt tax will be increased tenfold in ten years!" ”
When Chen Hua heard this, he was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The salt tax has been increased tenfold, and if this is the case, the imperial court will be much more generous.
And the system proposed by Xu He can be applied to other places, such as tea, such as mines!!
"This son is indeed quite talented, no wonder he ...... when he left Beijing," Chen Hua thought secretly.
Xu He didn't bother when he saw him pondering, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued: "It's not enough to reform the rule of officials, the current salt law system can't keep up with the situation, and the salt law needs to be reformed!" ”
