Married to an old emperor Section 167
No matter how good the treatment of being an official is, it has nothing to do with oneself if one is not oneself, and party strife is not a matter that can be changed at will, and she has already been on her thief ship, so how can she turn around so easily.
So Xi Hongrui now does not hesitate to appoint nepotism, Lin Juyuan is gone, who is the new right minister, who else can it be, of course it is Qin Xingchao, who has an opinion?
Yan Yu, the personal eunuch beside her, made two great contributions, is there any problem with letting him take charge of the Hou Guanya, there is no problem.
There is a difference between men and women, and a group of big men are embarrassed to enter her inner house, so it is very reasonable for the female officials beside her to grasp the disposal of seals and core official documents.
General Deng felt that the promotion path of military generals was too unscientific and the salary was too low, so he wanted to change it and asked her if she was okay?
Of course, you can, the Institute of Aircraft Administration has the final say, and you can say yes.
The upper-level institutions were completely controlled by her henchmen, and did she mention the talents of Yang Hongyi and Mao Yingzhi who had been tested in actual battles to the central authorities?
No problem, reasonable.
After the middle and upper strata were settled, those newcomers who had just been admitted to the examination did not have a second word, and like their predecessors, they went down to the grassroots level to conduct a census of the population and clear their fields.
Previously, Xi Hongrui had already conducted a census of the population and reorganized the field register because of the compilation of proletarian employees, and now she wants to do it again.
This time is different from the last time, Xi Hongrui decided to focus on non-governmental self-reporting, and officials as auxiliary verification and registering.
Because the "Suppression of Donation Law" has just been implemented, there is no responsibility for the past acts of donation.
The giver can take back his own land with all kinds of evidence, and no matter what the evidence is, he is not breaking the law.
However, from then on, all the books on the acres of land compiled this time will prevail, which means that those who originally participated in the donation can continue to donate, but as long as the fields are recorded in the official's person, those fields will become the private property of that official, and they have nothing to do with the original owner.
Although contribution is curbed, officials still have a fixed number of tax-exempt fields by virtue of their official rank, and the excess amount is only required to be taxed in accordance with the new tax law.
In other words, as long as the consecrated official pays a small part of the tax, he can completely kick out the original owner and monopolize the property.
Originally, the owner of the field offered because it was profitable, and he could take the lion's share of the profits, but now he can keep his own land if he gives it to the official.
At this time, can they still trust that the officials will keep their promises, and when they have a chance to monopolize it, they will still remember their feelings and leave them a mouthful of soup?
I believe that the officials will keep their promises, but it is better to believe that the sow will go to the tree, and before this recompilation of the field book, there will be a "legal opportunity" to return to their own fields, and after today, the encroachment of officials on their fields will become legal.
In the face of vital interests, rabbits will bite people even if they are in a hurry, so Xi Hongrui feels that this time it is the main event to clear the acres of fields, recompile the field books, and deal with the lawsuits of the donors and local officials.
In this case, she asked those pure newcomers who had just passed the exam to be ministers of the Qin Mission, and took the forbidden army to preside over this matter below.
I hope they can complete this work safely and smoothly.
If the problem lies in their own careful thinking and ability, if there is no second word, no matter how good the treatment of officials is in this life, you will not be able to enjoy it.
And if the problem is local, it just so happens that there is no war with Beirong now, and everyone is very idle.
If the soft means can't solve the problem, don't blame her for leading troops to quell the rebellion.
In the final analysis, although she was stabbing all the officials, she was not prepared to force them to death.
The benefits they should have are still given to them, and the gray income they should have can also be turned a blind eye, but this welfare has to be distributed by the imperial court, and this kind of thing of collusion between officials and private interests is not allowed to exist legally.
The owner can only exercise rights through her, and is not allowed to cross her.
Discerning officials certainly know that this move has curtailed their interests and squeezed their living space.
But if their toes dare not follow the length of her shoes, she will cut off their toes!
As soon as you put on new shoes, you will always be a little bit grinding, but it doesn't matter, just grind and grind, and you have to adapt to it after a long time.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to adapt, change your way to wear it, this is a pair of gold silk shoes, and there will never be fewer people who want to wear these shoes.
Therefore, before those new Qin sent away, Xi Hongrui almost unabashedly made it clear: A radish is a pit, and only when someone comes out can someone enter, are you clear?
The experiences of Yang Hongyi and Mao Yingzhi are still vivid, and it is up to them whether they want to think about it or not.
This large-scale census of the population has intensified the compilation of field books, and she wants to grasp every detail of the country in her hands.
After the last tax is collected in the autumn, this year's financial report will be released again.
Xi Hongrui is looking forward to what kind of feedback will she give in this financial report?
Chapter 122: Let's Make a Show
If you want to ask which of the six departments is the worst, the people of the household department must say that it is the household department.
In recent years, the household registers, land registers, population, taxes, and expenditures in all parts of the country have to go from the household department, and in recent years, they have frequently revised the household registers, and carloads of account books have been moved to the household department, so that the household people want to vomit when they see the dense numbers.
That's not all, Qin Xingchao, who had been studying from the Hou Guanya for many years, has returned, and guess what, he has become the prime minister!
In the past, he had to work with him when he was in the household department, but now that he is gone, he still has to work with him, is this the fate of the household people?
Yin Hucao now especially wants to escape from the household and be his Jingzhao Yin again, but Xi Hongrui said that he did a good job, so stay here and be Jingzhao Yin.
Yin Hucao: ......
There was no way, as soon as the household department was as deep as the sea, and after the last batch of tax revenue was collected after the autumn, the household department snapped to clean up the current account books until the end of the year.
When all the accounts were sorted out and the books were filed, the eyes of everyone in the household department widened when they looked at the final books that had been put together.
For a while, everyone scrambled to report the account.
At the end of the year, when the day of the account was approaching, Xi Hongrui also began to be restless.
After all, theory is theory, and there will certainly be many discrepancies in actual operation, and this is a new deal that she has insisted on implementing in defiance of the world's condemnation, and the financial report is the best way to convince her.
Raiding Hongrui back and forth, anxious to smoke, what are the people of the household department doing, it is not an immediate effect, and it must not be a loss!
In the anxious waiting, he finally waited for the report from the household department, opened the booklet, and when he saw the general ledger page, he was stunned.
After a long time, I gradually reacted, and the corners of my mouth instantly rose.
What did she see! A surplus of 22 million! It's done! Ahaha!
Xi Hongrui's whole person was so happy that he almost jumped up, what kind of concept is 22 million, although it seems that it is not more than one-third of Xiao Nanshan's greed, but this is a pure surplus!
The traditional artistic ability of Daqi's finances is to make ends meet, that is, in recent years, Yanping has been laid down, Hongrui has been strengthened, the banking supervision has been strengthened, the market has been regulated, and the army and the people have been stabilized, and the money has finally returned.
This year, however, in order to curb contributions, Xi Hongrui not only reduced or exempted taxes for small farmers, but also invested countless manpower, material, and financial resources in order to attract all kinds of people.
She is confident in the new tax law model she has conceived, but she is afraid that the upfront investment will be too large, and if she goes back to a situation where she can't make ends meet, it will be over.
Although she firmly controls the national banking regulator, the national treasury, and the emperor's private treasury, it is not impossible to make up for the holes.
However, this is a bad signal, because the abolition of contributions is a matter that touches the interests of all officials, and the financial reports are not good-looking, and the people below immediately have an excuse to attack.
Now that she knows the final result, Xi Hongrui can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and she will see who else dares to be blind in front of her!
She sat down leisurely, stretched out her hand, and asked the people in the household department to explain in detail, and the household people began to tell her the details of income and expenditure.
This year's financial revenue, of course, was a large part of the revenue from Beirong, and facts proved that the war money was really easy to make, not only bringing in a large amount of real money and silver, but also a large number of horses to fill the shortcomings of Daqi.
Ma Zheng, who had been dead for many years, finally stood up, spending less than before, but the results were far better than before.
In terms of traditional projects, the profiteering old businesses such as salt and iron tea have been removed, and the surplus brought by cotton has also increased by leaps and bounds, almost catching up with the previous big brothers.
The newly produced cotton cloth was very popular in both the Beirong and Daqi aristocratic circles, and the price remained high, but the cost was relatively low, and it immediately became the bulk of the financial revenue.
In addition to these miscellaneous projects, the tax projects that Xi Hongrui is concerned about have also made achievements.
On this point, the people of Tobe have very mixed feelings.
They are also officials, and they prohibit private contributions, which naturally damages their interests, and they may not secretly hope to attack Hongrui and overturn, but the result makes them completely slap in the face.
After the recompilation of the field book, the Xianna field was completely owned by the officials, which made everyone lose trust and recovered their own fields one after another.
In this way, almost all the lawsuits of the various yamen are related to land rights, and correspondingly, more and more acres of land have entered the scope of taxation, and almost all the fields have been included in the register, and it is impossible for the tax to rise without increasing the tax.
In order to oppose this policy, the hundred officials proposed that the pillar of the Daqi economy be commercial taxation, and that the cost of land should be raised, and that it would not affect commercial taxation did not occur.
Commercial taxes not only did not decrease, but continued to increase steadily, and even this year's increase was two points higher than last year's.
Facts speak louder than words, and even if there is opposition in the court, we can only hold back, otherwise the desire to make profits for ourselves will be too obvious and unpleasant.
After listening to the detailed report, Xi Hongrui looked up to the sky and laughed, happy to see his teeth and eyes.
Having money in hand is peace of mind, so Xi Hongrui once again skillfully removed the money from the treasury and issued a new order to publish the financial report, and then the financial report at the end of each year will be publicized to the public.
Household people: ......
Don't let the ugliness of the family be publicized! You can't just because you've made a few bucks recently, you can't find the north, and what if you can't make ends meet in the future!
What can I do then, cold salad.
Many lower-level officials do not have access to such matters as financial reports, and naturally it is even more impossible for them to disclose them to the public.
Otherwise, let people know that the imperial court actually loses money every year, and the reason why bad coins are minted is because the imperial court has no money, and this kind of thing can easily make the people disillusioned with the imperial court.
But now that she is not making a profit, of course she wants to go out and show off her money, because in addition to showing the effectiveness of the new tax law, there is another important reason, that is, she still wants to issue treasury bonds.
Before, she used the old emperor's private treasury to pay off the old treasury in one installment, which established the credibility of the national debt, but it was not enough.
Treasury bonds are borrowed in the name of the state, and naturally the borrower has to have a good idea of the state's ability to repay; otherwise, relying solely on her personal reputation, if she worries about not having a good meal, it will certainly affect her enthusiasm for purchasing treasury bonds.
Regarding the public financial report data, in case of loss, will it cause a crisis of trust among the people, Xi Hongrui feels that it is too worrying.
Could it be that when the people have a dark eye on the real situation of the imperial court, they will have trust in the imperial court, and they have no idea what kind of image they have.
Rather than doing this, it is better to directly disclose the data, because even in the event of a famine, war, and other major events, the fiscal deficit will inevitably occur, and it is more secure to say clearly than to keep it in the dark and have a black eye.
Therefore, Xi Hongrui decided to make the financial report transparent, so that the people could know the solvency of the imperial court, and then issue treasury bonds, so that people could start with peace of mind.
In addition, it is also to make the public have confidence in the bank savings situation of her banking regulator.
All kinds of commerce and trade in Daqi were very developed, and it was too inconvenient to carry huge amounts of gold and silver, so that her silver stamps were used more and more extensively.
For this kind of institution, which is similar to a money bank, the merchant must be worried that the bank is not enough to save money and cannot withdraw the bank, so she will use the entire treasury as a guarantee to anchor trust.
The higher the level of trust, the more the transaction will end at the stage of the banknote bond, and she will have a large amount of reserve silver.
Then she can reverse the issue of state loans to the people, and the interest rate is reasonable, and the people will definitely trust the state treasury more than those who lend money privately to usury.
Xi Hongrui really felt the pleasure of this almost "empty glove white wolf", especially the operation of national bonds, which reached out to borrow money from large investors.
A method of accumulating a large amount of money, which is different from fiscal revenue, although it has to pay interest, the benefits generated by the money in her hands far exceed the little interest, so that she dares to do more things that she dare not do, such as exchanging currency, such as fighting, such as building canals.
Yes, Xi Hongrui wants to build the canal again.
Daqi's commerce and trade are so developed, to a large extent, because the waterways extend in all directions, the north and south run through, and it is very convenient to transport grain, but Yanping in the north has been occupied by Beirong for a long time, and it has just been recovered, and it is still a blank area.
At present, the transportation of materials to Yanping and the grain business with Beijung are both transported by sea and land, and the cost is very high.
