Chapter 687: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesnt stop(2/3)

Not only are the number of accounting offices in the Taxation Department increasing, but also those in Baifanlou and Majia Jiekupu, while only the number of accounting offices in the government is decreasing.

This man walked to higher places and the water flowed to lower places. Many officials in the government were poached by the merchants.

Xu Zun asked: "Jun Shi, are many people in the court talking about this matter now?"

Sima Guang nodded and said: "But no one thought that Sansi would be inferior to a law firm in settling accounts. Sigh..."

Xu Zun asked again: "What should we do?"

Sima Guang said: "I'll go and inquire first to see if the Third Division is really that miserable. If so, there's nothing we can do about it."

After saying that, he asked Zhang Fei: "But if the national accounts are left to private individuals to calculate, will it reveal secrets?"

Zhang Fei said: "First of all, there is a confidentiality agreement. Secondly, taxation is a public account and is disclosed to the public, making it difficult to falsify."

Sima Guang nodded.

Xu Zun suddenly asked: "By the way, Jun Shi, have you told the officials about the reform of the Judicial Office?"

Sima Guang said: "I have already written a memorial, but there has been no response yet. This kind of matter involves many government agencies, so we cannot rush it. Moreover, in the capital, with us here, we will not undermine the system of public security, prosecution and law."

Xu Zun nodded and said, "That's true."

...

After sending Sima Guang away, Zhang Fei said: "It seems that Bachelor Sima is not aware of the Daming Mansion case."

Xu Zundao: "This is not something we found, but someone who informed us. They can make this known to the public at any time, so you have to be prepared."

"I'll get it."

Zhang Fei said: "But we can also use the cooperation between the Tax Department and the lawyer's office to cover up the matter first."

Xu Zun nodded.

Zhang Fei just arranged for Qi Ji to take a few prosecutors to quietly go to Daming Mansion to investigate, and also told them not to worry, to investigate slowly and to find out clearly.

However, no one in the DPRK or China is discussing this matter for the time being. They are all discussing the cooperation between the tax department and the law firm.

This is simply...unbelievable.

They are even questioning whether the Taxation Department has the right to make the decision?

Because they only found out about this after the cooperation.

The Taxation Department also gave its own explanation, which is that the Taxation Department's own accounting offices are seriously insufficient. Currently, it can only maintain the calculation of exempted taxes, but cannot calculate all taxes. It is too late to expand enrollment now.

At the same time, the efficiency of the Third Division Office is too slow, and there are often errors in the accounts. It cannot satisfy the public security and judicial system at all, so we can only find cooperation with law firms.

The key point is that the Taxation Department is subordinate to the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue has long been ousted by the Third Division. Although the final tax money will be handed over to the Third Division, the Third Division has no jurisdiction over the Taxation Department.

Sima Guang also went to investigate specifically, and the result was just as Zhang Fei said, the efficiency was astonishingly slow and could not satisfy the taxation department's system at all.

Not only that, this matter has also triggered heated discussions among the people.

Another article appeared in the newspaper explaining the reason, and everyone realized that the government was worse than a workshop.

Then Zhang Fei took out Wang Anshi's articles, one on the left and one on the right. They didn't mention the career method at all, but they all hinted at the employment difficulties of scholars and the hardships of taking exams. He also took Liu Qing as an example.

He also asked whether these knowledge can help scholars and candidates solve their livelihood difficulties.

This is also true. The wages of accountants now have doubled or tripled compared to before.

There was a lot of discussion among the people and the court, which of course also "alarmed" Emperor Zhao Xu.

Chui Gong Hall.

Li He took the lead and informed Zhao Xu of the reasons for cooperating with the Taxation Department.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing this, Zhao Xu was in disbelief and said: "This... is this true?"

The ministers were silent.

Hint to the emperor that this is true.

Deng Wan stood up and said: "This is actually all the fault of Bianjing Law Firm. It is said that their firm spent high prices to invite many civil servants from government agencies to the firm."

Sima Guang said: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. There is no way around it."

Lu Huiqing immediately retorted: "Now that the burden on the imperial court is so heavy, how can there be money to increase the wages of those civil servants? In my opinion, they are sincere. If this continues, the national finance will have to rely on their businessmen in the future. But what can we do?"

OK!"

Sima Guang also felt that this was indeed inappropriate.

Zhao Xu worriedly said: "What should we do? Nowadays, merchants give more wages than the imperial court, but the imperial court is already burdened with redundant officials and it is difficult to increase salaries."

Pei Wen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the owner of the office is Zhang Prosecutor. As a court official, he actually went against the court. Such a disloyal minister should be punished by the court."

Xu Zun immediately said: "What is disloyalty? Are there not many ministers in the court doing business? But have they paid taxes for this? If they all paid enough taxes, then the court would have money to increase wages for those civil servants.

The office pays at least thousands of taxes every year and has never done anything illegal. The court has no regulations and cannot hire people at high prices. Those civil servants all go there by themselves."

When Pei Wen saw Xu Zundou's incident, he didn't dare to argue with him. He was fighting for his son-in-law and was not willing to risk his life, so there was no point in fighting with him.

Wang Anshi suddenly stood up and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve."

Zhao Xu hurriedly asked: "Does Master Wang have any good ideas?"

Wang Anshi said: "We can let the new Jinshi do these things. In this way, we can meet the needs of the court without increasing the burden of redundant officials.

Rushuang Academy currently has a group of outstanding students, many of whom have passed Jinshi, and some of them were admitted by Enyin. They can be arranged to work in the Taxation Department to help.

If we wait for a few more batches of graduates, the Department of Taxation will not need to rely on law firms."

It has been exactly three years since the School of Mathematics opened, and the first batch of students has graduated.

Many ministers' eyes lit up. This was a good idea. It could infiltrate the Department of Taxation. They immediately stood up and expressed their support.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said: "This method is very wonderful."

He doesn't care about infiltration because the real tax department is hidden.

Wen Yanbo whispered: "Jun Shi, why are you so stunned?"

Sima Guang was startled, glanced at Wen Yanbo, suddenly came to his senses, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Public Security Bureau in Beijing currently lacks manpower, and there are also a group of very outstanding students in the School of Law who have completed their studies. I suggest that they be arranged to serve in the Public Security Bureau

.”

Immediately, many ministers also stood up to support.

These two academies symbolize economic reform and judicial reform. If students from the School of Mathematical Sciences can enter the imperial court in advance, then the School of Law will suffer a devastating blow, and everyone will go to the School of Arithmeticology to study.

Wang Anshi was secretly proud that Sima Guang was helping him.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Okay, I also want to see if the Imperial College can cultivate talents for the country!"

...

Once the news came out, it was a big deal.

Because the Tax Department and the Public Security Bureau are the two most popular government agencies at the moment, their power is increasing step by step.

Entering these two departments represents power.

At present, the Imperial College is mainly prepared for Enyin disciples. There are also Jinshi, but there are relatively few, because those who can pass the imperial examination will most likely be reused. Those Enyin disciples are very jealous, because many Enyin disciples are now.

A nominal person with the same background as them can directly enter the real power department after studying in the Imperial College for three years.

This caused their parents to desperately send them to the Imperial College.

The key point is that the idea of ​​​​dismissing officials is very strong at the moment. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? This is the continuation of the family!

The police department is not willing to be left alone. Although the expansion of the Royal Police has been completed, it wants to get involved and announces that it is recruiting foreign workers. The salary is higher than that of the ordinary Royal Police.

It is true that the police department currently lacks such talents as police officers.

The court hearing system of the Public Security Bureau is entirely based on professional talents, which is understandable.

This one after another big news has caused a lot of discussion among the people. It turns out that one can become an official by studying arithmetic, law or medicine well.

At this time, Wang Anshi finally showed his fox tail.

He announced the implementation of the Business Law throughout the Gyeonggi region and the construction of several colleges that did not involve traditional learning. The main subjects were arithmetic and law, as well as agriculture, geology, medicine and other miscellaneous subjects.

And those with excellent grades can enter the Imperial College to study.

This kind of knowledge is not tested in scientific examinations, but due to the reform of the Imperial College, students from these two schools with excellent grades can be recommended to become officials.

It means that students from the Polytechnic College also have the opportunity to become officials, but the prerequisite is to be admitted to the Imperial College.

Immediately, the charity foundation announced that it would donate 10,000 yuan to the government to build colleges and hospitals. It also stated that it would donate some children from poor families to enroll in this college every year.

Wang Anshi also immediately returned the favor, saying that donors to the charity foundation would be given priority in admission, but tuition fees would still have to be paid.

This immediately attracted the attention of the general public. In any era in China, education is the eternal focus.

Many wealthy families came to inquire about tuition fees.

If you study well, you can become an official. If you don't do well, you can go to a place like an office and find a high-paying job. You won't lose anything!

But this made the scholar-bureaucrats of the Confucian school feel a sense of crisis when they saw these miscellaneous studies being highly valued by the people.

But they can't say what it is.
