Chapter 238 Department of Taxation, East China Sea Division

The arrival of Dongfang Pavilion and Wang Yixian did not bring too much shock to Dali, the people who knew their existence were only limited to the high-level of the court, and many people in the court did not know their specific origins, they only thought that they were just a force from the southeast islands.

And after Qin Wei met Wang Yixian, he threw the matter aside.

After all, Dali is more than 3,000 miles away from Yuehai Island, even if it is a smooth journey, it will take seven or eight days to take a boat.

If you take a boat back to Moon Island first, and then come back by boat, it will take twenty days.

Qin Wei didn't know that Dongfang Pavilion had such a thing as a communication circle in his hands, and he didn't even know about the magic circle, after all, Dali didn't have a magic circle inheritance.

The communication circle can immediately transmit the news to Moon Island, if Moon Island reacts quickly, in fact, in about ten days, it will be able to send support to Dali.

However, there is no need for Qin Wei to worry about these for the time being, the real one who needs to worry is Wang Yixian.

Temporarily throwing Wang Yixian and Dongfang Pavilion aside, Qin Wei focused on the government affairs.

Various reforms within Dali are still in full swing.

The matter of measuring the land by the local government has been completed, and Qin Wei did not have a soft hand for the officials who did not complete the task, and directly asked the cabinet to punish according to the situation.

Under the supervision of the Imperial City Division, most of the government and county officials have completed their tasks, but there are also many yamen who have not completed it, and many of them want to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and the officials and gentry collude.

Anyway, in the past month, there have been hundreds of county orders dismissed by the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials, and as many as 1,000 officials have been killed, including those officials in Jiangzhou who are engaged in affairs.

And because of this, there are countless squires, eunuch families, martial arts families, etc.

But no matter what, now that everything is almost over, Qin Wei only needs to wait for the summer grain collection in May and June to see the results of the tax reform.

As for the abolition of the two yuan and the change of yuan, as more and more new coins were minted by the Mint Division, the amount of new money circulating in the market in Kyoto also increased, and the exchange ratio of the black market gradually stabilized. It's almost 10% higher than going directly to the central bank to get new money.

This situation is also normal, after all, the amount of new money is still too small.

Outside of Kyoto, new money is still very scarce.

Qin Wei estimated that it would take about two years to popularize the new money to the entire Dali, and if he wanted to replace all the previous copper and silver coins, it was estimated that it would take five years, or even longer.

At present, the new money minted by the money division has about five million silver dollars, and the profit is as much as one million silver dollars, this is only less than two months, Qin Wei has earned one million silver dollars by minting money, if it is three or five years in the future, Qin Wei can earn tens of millions of silver dollars by minting money alone.

Qin Wei didn't save this money, and directly handed it all over to Gong Zhiqiu, and asked him to go to Linhai Mansion to build a shipyard.

Sheng Tian Palace, in the imperial study.

Qin Wei looked at the account book handed over by the household department.

Sun Wenjian, the secretary of the household department, and Luo Zheng, the assistant minister of the cabinet, stood in front of him.

Looking at the account books, Qin Wei frowned slightly, and said, "In other words, the household department now has less than three million taels of silver?" ”

A huge Dali Dynasty has less than three million taels of silver, which is really a pitiful amount.

In fact, there are not many places where the Dali court uses money, the Dali royal family implements the system of demotion of the lord, and the royal family does not consume a lot of money every year, and secondly, there are not many nobles in Dali now, the old emperor has cleaned up several stubbles, and the remaining nobles are only dozens, and the required Yulu is not very much.

In terms of the expenses of the court officials and the army, this should be regarded as a large amount.

"Your Majesty, last year, the border army fought everywhere, and it cost a lot of money and grain, not only the treasury silver, but even the stored grain was almost consumed." Sun Wenjian explained with some uneasiness.

Qin Wei thought about what happened last year, and bowed slightly, it was normal to spend a lot of money and food last year.

Although he had tried his best to solve the attack of the Sifang Royal Court in the simplest way, the casualties of the border army were still not small, and the pension and military expenses required were still very large.

In addition, he also transferred 400,000 forbidden troops to the border army, which also cost a lot of silver.

And the old emperor did those things before, and it is not easy for the household department to still have surplus silver.

"How's the tax preparation going?" Qin Wei asked.

Sun Wenjian said: "It's almost ready. ”

This is the difference between the collection of taxes and the past, in the past, taxes were mainly collected on grain, and the people paid grain taxes, but this time the imperial court has issued an official document, and all taxes are replaced by silver money.

Instead of collecting grain, you can save a lot of trouble.

However, there are many problems, such as the imperial court also needs food, and now after collecting the money, it will also have to spend money to buy food.

Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "I am going to separate taxation from the household department. ”

"Hmm!" Sun Wenjian's eyes widened and he looked at Qin Wei in shock.

Qin Wei ignored his shock and continued: "There is a separate department of taxation, which is called the Ministry of Taxation, which is of the same rank as the six departments, directly under the cabinet, and is in charge of the tax affairs of my Dali, and has various departments such as field tax, city tax, salt and iron tax, etc., and sets up yamen in each state. ”

"The tax yamen of each state is vertically managed by the Ministry of Taxation, and coordinates the tax affairs of the various administrative departments, and is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Taxation and the provincial political departments."

Then, Qin Wei talked about his general thoughts on the Ministry of Taxation.

The Ministry of Taxation is not only responsible for collecting taxes, but also for amending tax regulations and implementation rules, as well as various policy exemptions.

The establishment of the Ministry of Taxation can also prevent the yamen at all levels from having their hands on taxation.

In fact, Qin Wei wants to open the tax yamen to the county level, but considering the personnel and details, for the time being, Qin Wei can only open the tax yamen to the state level first, and when the time is ripe, it will be extended downward.

"This~"

After listening to Qin Wei's story, Sun Wenjian had a headache, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Luo Zheng next to him said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Taxation is set up separately, so isn't the Ministry of Household having nothing to do?" ”

"How so? The tax department is responsible for collecting money, and the household department is responsible for spending money, and after the tax department collects the money, it will be handed over to the household department and managed by the household department. Qin Wei said with a smile.

He also knew Sun Wenjian's thoughts, which was equivalent to splitting power from the hands of the household department.

As the financial director of the court, Sun Wenjian naturally didn't want to divide power, but Qin Wei had to divide power from the household, because in his opinion, the power of the household department was too great.

Not only the household department, in the future, Qin Wei will divide the six departments and the five military governors into more detail, especially the military department, what kind of military is a group of civilian officials?

The military and the government are separated, and professional affairs are entrusted to professional people.

But these things have to be done little by little, and they can't be rushed.

Sun Wenjian thought about it, but finally didn't say anything.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the separate establishment of the Ministry of Taxation, he did not dare to contradict Qin Wei.

Now no one in the court dared to go against Qin Wei's will.

Subsequently, Qin Wei chatted with Sun Wenjian in detail about the tax department, and instructed him to be responsible for the establishment of the tax department, and he was the first secretary of the Dali tax department.

made Sun Wenjian feel extremely responsible, and his good household secretary suddenly became a tax department secretary, which sounds a bit nonsense.

But when Qin Wei said that as long as he did a good job in the tax department, he would let him enter the cabinet, his heart was suddenly happy and full of enthusiasm.

After sending Sun Wenjian away, Qin Wei began to deal with other government affairs.

For the next few days, he was busy with the government.

Being an emperor is really busy, and he has to watch everything in the court, even with the assistance of the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, he still has to be idle.

What's more, there are many internal changes in Dali during this time, and he needs to do more.

……

Just when Qin Wei was busy with the government, a big battle took place in the East China Sea.

Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island are located in the eastern sea area of Dali, only 300 miles away from Dali.

These two islands are not very large, probably only one county, and more than 100,000 people live on them, and they are completely self-sufficient.

And this time Qin Wei wanted to destroy the two islands, and Ye Gucheng and Huang Yaoshi cooperated with the East China Sea Division to fight.

The East China Sea Division dispatched, naturally it could not hide from Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island, and before the East China Sea Division went to sea, Ju Landao and Hai Yunxuan received the news and were ready to face it.

The strength of Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island is naturally not as good as Dali, and even their sailors are not as good as the East China Sea divisions, but after all, they are forces that belong to the sea, and they are most familiar with things like this in the sea.

Before the East China Sea Division arrived on Xiaoyao Island, the two islands gathered hundreds of ships to prepare for a big battle with the East China Sea Division.

In the first year of Shenghua, the third day of May.

The East China Sea Division arrives at Xiaoyao Island.

As one of the three naval divisions of Dali, the East China Sea Division has 400 warships, 120 transport ships and more than 200 patrol ships, with more than 25,600 soldiers and more than 10,000 people.

Changyang Bolu Zhiqing is the commander of the East China Sea Division.

At this time, Lu Zhiqing was standing on the lookout platform of a building ship, looking at Xiaoyao Island in the south.

As the commander of the Dali East China Sea Division, Lu Zhiqing is actually a little depressed, the children of their Changyang Bofu have always served in the water division, and the previous generations of Changyang Bo have been military attaches in the water division.

And now Lu Zhiqing is also the commander of the East China Sea Division, but the problem is that Dali has never had much pursuit overseas, and the main tasks of the two ocean sailors are only cruising and deterring, and they rarely participate in battles.

Therefore, Lu Zhiqing was somewhat depressed, and always felt that he had no chance to display his martial arts.

But now Lu Zhiqing is full of excitement, because his opportunity has come.

His Majesty wants to crusade against Xiaoyao Island and Qingfeng Island, and their East China Sea Division is the main force.

When he saw the phantom of Xiaoyao Island from afar, the whole person trembled with excitement.

"Hahaha, it's finally here!"

"Brothers, get ready to fight!"

He shouted excitedly, and then jumped off the lookout and landed on the deck.

And with his shouting, the soldiers on the deck also became excited.

Fighting seemed like a distant thing to them, and they had always been able to fight pirates in the sea, but those pirates were so weak that they didn't feel it at all.

Now they are going to attack Xiaoyao Island, this is a big war, a big battle that is rare in a century!

How do they not get excited!

Didn't you see that Lu Zhiqing was so excited that he was about to cry?

As warriors, they are eager to fight, and as soldiers, they expect war.

They're not war maniacs, they've just held back too long.

Landing on the deck, Lu Zhiqing hurriedly came to Ye Gucheng and Huang Yaoshi, looked at the two of them with a look of hope, and said, "Two adults, we have arrived at Xiaoyao Island, should we attack next!" ”

Ye Gucheng glanced at him with a calm face and said, "How you fight is your business, we are only responsible for dealing with the enemy's innate martial artists!" ”

"Really!" Lu Zhiqing's eyes lit up.

"Hmm!"

Ye Gucheng nodded concisely.

"Great!"

Lu Zhiqing couldn't help but said excitedly: "Wait a minute, the last general will go and arrange the battle matters first." ”

With that, he hurried into the shipyard.
