Chapter 224: Discussion, Reform, Determination
Afternoon.
In the warm pavilion next to the imperial study of the Shengtian Palace.
The ministers gathered, and Qin Wei came.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, love Qing is exempt!"
Qin Wei sat on the main seat and glanced at the ministers casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers got up, Qin Wei was not polite, and said directly: "Today, I invite you Aiqing to come to the court to discuss, mainly because there are a few things to discuss. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned, and Xiao Shunzi immediately handed him a book of folds.
Opening the fold, Qin Wei glanced at it and said, "The first thing is about the implementation of the Yanwu Pavilion to the state capitals and counties. ”
The ministers were slightly stunned, only Zhuge Zheng understood in my heart.
Qin Wei had already passed the anger with Zhuge Zheng before, but the others didn't know anything about it.
Just as Qin Wei's words fell, Xiao Shunzi immediately beckoned the little eunuch next to him to deliver a copy of the fold to the ministers.
The content of the excerpt is the rules and regulations formulated by Qin Wei regarding the Yanwu Pavilion.
Starting from the county-level Yanwu Pavilion, how to recruit students, how to assess students, how to promote to the prefecture-level Yanwu Pavilion, then the state-level Yanwu Pavilion, and finally the Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion.
Basically, it is similar to the small promotion to the junior high school, the initial promotion, and the final college entrance examination.
After entering the state-level Yanwu Pavilion, it is the imperial court official, the state-level Yanwu Pavilion has a four-year school system, and after completing the study, you can join the Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion through the assessment, if you can't pass, you can serve as a grassroots military attache in the state town garrison.
After reading it, all the ministers looked at each other.
This method is something they never thought of.
"Do you have any objections?" Qin Wei asked.
Ministers, you look at me, I'll look at you, and finally Sun Wenjian, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this prefecture and county have all established Yanwu Pavilion, and it costs a lot of money and food, and the household department is afraid that it will not be able to support it." ”
The implementation of the Yanwu Pavilion is definitely not a trivial matter, and the money spent in it alone is not a small amount.
There are 2,000 counties and more than 300 prefectures in Dali, and so many prefectures and counties have to establish Yanwu Pavilion, and the cost can be imagined.
"Don't be in a hurry about the money issue first, I'll talk about it later." Qin Wei said.
Sun Wenjian then stepped back and said no more.
Qin Wei said so, what else could he say.
Zhou Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, is Yanwu Pavilion the same as the government school and the county school, where does the professor come from?" ”
Qin Wei said: "All levels of Yanwu Pavilion have military official positions, and the official rank is one grade lower than that of the prefect, prefect, and political secretary, as for the professors, they can be selected from the sects in various places, and they can also be selected from the military and the town martial division. ”
"This~~" Zhou Wensheng frowned a little.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wei asked.
Zhou Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, this may require thousands of officials!" There are quite a few officials. ”
Qin Wei smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you say it, let's talk about the silver money later?" ”
Everything is inseparable from money, it takes money to establish the Yanwu Pavilion, and it also takes money to recruit officials and professors, and after the establishment of the Yanwu Pavilion, this daily expense is not a small amount.
"Your Majesty, the students of this state-level Yanwu Pavilion can join the town garrison as military attachés, but what about the Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion?" Wang Shouzhi, the secretary of the military department, asked.
"After the students of Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion complete their studies, they can enter Fukuyama!" Qin Wei said lightly.
The students who can enter the Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion must be a genius who is unique in ten thousand, and such geniuses are all innate seedlings, so they naturally have to be cultivated well.
This reform is not only Yanwu Pavilion, but even Qingfushan Qin Wei has to be changed.
In the past, Qingfu Mountain was a place for innate martial artists to cultivate, and in the future, Qingfu Mountain will still be a place for Qing cultivation, but Qin Wei will require every innate martial artist to recruit disciples, at least one disciple per year.
The ministers were shocked, and everyone understood that in the future, this martial arts pavilion would become the target of countless people's pursuit.
Being able to enter the door of innate martial artists is a great blessing for the vast majority of martial artists.
Ji Yuanchen thought for a moment and asked, "Then is this Yanwu Pavilion also to be included in the assessment scope of the chief officials of the prefecture and county?" ”
"Naturally, cultural governance and martial arts, both pay equal attention." Qin Wei said.
"Then isn't this unfair to Xungui!" Ji Yuanchen said.
Qin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood what Ji Yuanchen meant.
The selection method of Dali civil officials is the imperial examination, but Dali does not have martial arts, and the method of selection of military attaches is recommendation, that is, the recommendation system for honors and nobles, which is why the town guards in all parts of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are controlled by honors.
The establishment of the Yanwu Pavilion is undoubtedly to break this rule.
For the Xungui group, this is equivalent to cutting off their roots.
Thinking of this, Qin Wei looked at the military attaches of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and sure enough, the faces of these guys were extremely ugly.
After Ji Yuanchen's words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Qin Wei's fingers tapped on the tabletop, his face was unwavering.
He had thought about it for a long time.
He wanted to implement the Yanwu Pavilion system, with the purpose of selecting geniuses from the people, so that the geniuses of the people would no longer be buried, so that they could serve the imperial court.
This will certainly infringe on the interests of some people.
And he has a lot of things to reform, Yanwu Pavilion is just the simplest one, if he can't even do this, then the three-year development plan he formulated is.
"Is there any objection to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" Qin Wei asked.
The military attachés bowed their heads and remained silent.
Naturally, they disagreed, but they did not dare to say it.
Seeing them like this, Qin Wei didn't care, and said directly: "In the future, if you want to be an official, you can also pass the layers of assessment of the Yanwu Pavilion." ”
"If you can't even do this, then don't be embarrassed in the army!"
Are there no talents among the nobles?
Naturally not.
In fact, martial arts cultivation has very strict requirements for inheritance, and it is difficult for ordinary small families to cultivate martial artists.
Talent is important, but resources are even more important.
The nobles were able to control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, not only because of their privileges, but also because they could train many powerful warriors, and they were also warriors with military talents.
And now Qin Wei wants to give resources to those geniuses from the people, because the number of geniuses from the people is more.
"If you have any objections, you can tell me!" Qin Wei said in a flat tone.
There was silence in the warm pavilion, and no one spoke.
Seeing this, Qin Wei sneered in his heart.
Dali's lord looks powerful, but in fact it is just a group of paper tigers.
Don't look at them as they control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but in fact their strength is very weak.
After all, this world is a cultivation world, unlike the ancient times in the previous life, where you have military power, you are the master.
Self-respect will not work in this world.
Just like Beiyuan City, the reason why Beiyuan City was able to stand independent from Dali was not because they had 100,000 Heavenly Eagle Army, but because they had a Situ City Lord of the Innate Three Realms.
"Since you have no objections, then it is settled at this time."
"Zhuge is me!" Qin Wei called.
"The minister is here!" Zhuge Zheng and I came out of the queue and bowed down to answer.
"You are responsible for this matter, with the assistance of the Zhenwu Division and the yamen of various ministries, and I have given you the right to act on the spot, you can cut it first and then play it!" Qin Wei grinned.
Chop first, play later!
At the beginning, he relied on this to run rampant in Kyoto, and now he has given this to Zhuge Zhengme.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace suddenly became cold.
Especially those nobles, their expressions are a little unnatural.
At this time, they suddenly remembered that Qin Wei was not a benevolent person.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhenwu Division, Qin Wei pulled the Chengguo Mansion to the palace, and now he is sitting on the imperial authority, if anyone does not open his eyes, it is definitely a lantern in the pit and looking for death.
"Obey the order!" Zhuge is answering me.
Qin Wei nodded, glanced at the fold in his hand, and said, "Let's talk about the second thing: tax reform." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Junko.
Xiao Shunzi immediately understood, and once again summoned a group of little eunuchs to distribute a book of folds to the ministers.
When the ministers got the fold, their faces changed, and even Ji Yuanchen, the old guy, was a little dumbfounded.
Dali's tax system is still in the stage of poll tax, that is, the tax is collected according to the capitation, and the tax is collected on a few people if there are several people in a family, and the tax is generally paid by grain.
In addition, there are city taxes, customs duties, foreign taxes, agricultural mulberry silk and so on.
Like the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, there are also a large tax-free group in Dali.
Scholars with meritorious fame, warriors who have cultivated to the fourth rank, noble families and official families in the court, all belong to the privileged group, and they can all be exempt from taxes.
The point is that the issue of land annexation also exists.
It has been more than 300 years since Dali was established, and the problem of land annexation within the dynasty has actually reached a very serious point.
I think that at the beginning, a Wanfu Temple in Tianzhou could occupy millions of acres of fertile land, and other sects also had a lot of fertile land to a greater or lesser extent, which was one of the reasons why Emperor Lihuang had to suppress the world's sects in the first place.
But it is not enough to suppress the world's sects, there are many nobles, official eunuch families, martial arts families, etc., who are wantonly annexing land.
The only thing that made Qin Wei happy was that Dali's situation was much better than that of the end of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, mainly because the old emperor had already discovered this problem and had been solving it.
Killing the nobles, destroying the family, reusing the scholars of the Han family, etc., although they were not done thoroughly, they also inhibited the problem of land annexation in Dali.
And now Qin Wei wants to create a real prosperous world, and tax exemption privileges and land annexation are the biggest chasm in front of him.
Therefore, he proposed a system of apportionment into the mu and the integrated taxation of the gentry.
The Ding silver was spread into the field and collected, and the previous "poll tax" was abolished, so the landless poor people got rid of the burden of Ding labor; The increased tax burden on the landlords can limit or ease the land annexation to a certain extent, while the burden on the landless peasants is relatively lighter.
At the same time, the imperial court would loosen its grip on household registration, allowing peasants and craftsmen to move freely and sell their labor. It is conducive to mobilizing the production enthusiasm of the vast number of farmers and other laborers and expanding the productive forces of the whole Dali.
Moreover, after the apportionment into the mu, the land and the land are integrated, and the Ding Yin and Tian Fu are unified with the mu as the tax object, simplifying the tax and collection procedures.
In addition, the gentry paid taxes as a whole, and the tax-free privileges were completely abolished.
This can not only increase the financial income of the court, but also help the population growth of Changli.
With money, Qin Wei can do more things, and only when there are people can more talents appear, and Dali's strength will become stronger and stronger.
In this cultivation world, ordinary people don't seem to be important, they are not even qualified to rebel, but for a dynasty, the people are the cornerstone of the bottom, and how high the pavilion can be built in the court depends on how many resources the people at the bottom can provide.
"Do you have any objections?" Qin Wei asked again.
The ministers were silent.
This is even more terrifying than the implementation of the Martial Arts Pavilion, and they don't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be too urgent!" Ji Yuanchen, as the first assistant, saw that no one spoke, so he could only stand up.
He wanted to persuade Qin Wei, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
There was no problem with the two systems proposed by Qin Wei, and he knew that the implementation of these two systems would be beneficial to the court, but the impact would be too great.
This affects almost everyone in the entire Dali, and pushes all the privileged groups in the Dali to the opposite side.
The interests of the noble family, the official family, the sect forces, the martial arts family, and even every official in the court will be damaged.
And once the contradiction intensifies, the entire glass will fall into turmoil.
Ji Yuanchen didn't know what kind of consequences would be caused after the promulgation of these two policies.
But Qin Wei's face sank, and he said, "Wrong, not only will I not delay, but I will also implement these two policies as soon as possible." ”
"The longer the matter drags on, the greater the turmoil will be."
He stood up and said calmly: "You Aiqing will stay in the front hall tonight to rest, and early tomorrow morning, the cabinet will immediately issue a document and send it to all states, prefectures, and counties, asking the government offices at all levels to re-measure all the fields within three months. ”
"The Governor's Office of the Five Armies immediately issued a military order to the town defenders in all prefectures, requiring the town guards in all localities to strictly guard and immediately strike a thunderous blow once they receive the order, and those who dare to start a riot will be killed."
"The Zhenwu Division and the Imperial City Division supervise the world, officials at all levels, and those who have passive sabotage, will be held for three generations!"
What are you kidding, this kind of thing must not be delayed.
Once the time is prolonged, when those people react, they will definitely do something.
Qin Wei just didn't give them time, first completed the land measurement, as long as the land measurement was completed, then the foundation for the land to be divided into acres would be there.
It is not easy for a huge dynasty to implement a policy.
Officials at all levels, countless officials, want them to do things seriously and according to orders, it is almost impossible.
But Qin Wei is not without support in his hands.
He has the Imperial City Division to monitor the world, and he has the Zhenwu Division to suppress the sect forces. He had just solved the slowdown, and one victory after another forged his imperial might.
Now that the external troubles have been eliminated, he can deal with the internal problems of the dynasty with all his might.
"Whether Dali can take off depends on this time."
"Whoever dares to stand in the way of me is my enemy."
"I will let him know what it means to be angry with the emperor and ambush millions of corpses!"
Qin Wei said solemnly.
When the ministers heard this, they were all trembling.
They already understood Qin Wei's determination.
Qin Wei looked at the pale courtiers one by one, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
At this time, there must be no benevolence.
The vast majority of people are fearless of power and morality.
He just wants to use the power of the emperor to deter these courtiers in front of him, if even these courtiers can't be deterred, then how can he deter so many privileged groups in the world.
