Zhao Huan ran south again, and the Jinyiwei in Jiankang City immediately spread the news to the point, but no matter how fast the speed was, the news could not be delivered to Zhao Gou immediately.

Of course, Zhao Gou knew about this news, so he wouldn't care.

Will Zhao Huan escape sooner or later in Jiankang? There are not many people as straightforward as Nanchen. Obviously, the land in Huainan was completely lost, and all the prefectures and counties in Jiangbei were owned by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Chen Shubao and his son still dared to squat in Jiankang City without moving.

Look at Zhao Jiumei, she has never stayed in Jiankang City after crossing the river. Although it seems that she is not enterprising to make the capital of Hangzhou and the Southern Song Dynasty, she is at least safe.

After skipping the gossip and turning back to the topic, is Zhao Gou allowed the second escape now? But this is also the last time, and again and again, never repeat it.

But when the news reached the Northern Army in Jiangbei, the morale of Zhe Yanzhi's army suddenly increased.

Zhao Huan has already escaped. Isn’t the outcome of this battle still settled?

Zhe Yanzhi repeatedly ordered Zhang Rong behind him. Yangzhou City was no problem and it was time to cross the Yangtze River next, but it depends on him.

Although I don’t know why the rioters in Liangshanpo were favored by the King of Yan, I specially issued an order to appoint him as an official in the navy to integrate the water surface power around him and take it for himself. But now Zhe Yanzhi can only rely on Zhang Rong, right?

Zhang Diwan, who left a lot of money in official history, was about to enter the historical stage.

I knew very well that Zhao Huan was already managing the Jiangnan region, how could he not expect the navy? He prepared Zhang Rong, a hero who could endorse Liangshanbo more than Song Jiang, for the Eastern Route Army led by Zhe Yanzhi, to fight for Zhang Rong, who was more capable of endorsing Liangshanbo, just like he prepared Zhong Xiang for Wang Yuan's Western Route Army and Yang Yao, the force active along the Dongting Lake.

The latter is even more awesome than Zhang Rong. They had been operating around Dongting Lake for more than ten years, and held up the banner of Manichaeism, shouting the slogan "Waiting for the noble and humble, equalizing the rich and poor" loudly, and even used the excuse of going north to fight against the Jin Dynasty to pull up a team of hundreds of people.

Well, during the Second Tokyo Defense Battle, Zhong Xiang really sent his son Zhong Zi'ang and Sanbai Jianyong to the north to "respect the king". Although he was ordered to be repatriated by the government before leaving Jinghu.

But after hearing this, Zhao Gou also thought it was very strange. Is this a mouse licking the cat?

Even now, he could not be sure of Zhong Xiang’s true purpose, so he could only take one step at a time. With Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao, and Zhao Gou believed that Wang Yuanjun would definitely be able to cross the Yangtze River more easily.

Zhao Huan and his men ran away again. Li Gang in Yangzhou was so desperate. I just said that Zhao Gou in Bianliang City was facing a national discussion at this moment.

That is the fiscal and taxation division between the central and local governments.

The tax division between the central and local governments is a major event, not to mention the current situation, even in the 21st century.

In the 170th year of Zhao Song, whether it was the old laws before Wang Anshi's reform or the new laws formulated by Wang Anshi, they all left a lot of wealth to the local area, which was called wealth hiding the world. So it was so comfortable to be an official in the Song Dynasty.

However, after Song Huizong came to power, Cai Jing played a lot of tricks under the guise of the new law, and was extremely satisfied with Zhao Ji, who was very happy and extravagant. However, in the local area, not only the people's gentry and people were created by Cai Jing, Yang Jian and others, but the Yingfeng Bureau (Huashigang) was so difficult that Kuotian was tortured. Even the inventory of governments in various prefectures was emptied and completely exhausted.

The money, grain and material that should have been left in the place were sent to the city of Bianliang for Song Huizong to spend too much. This was the consumption of the vitality and life of the Song Dynasty in the country.

Consider from the dirtiest perspective, those officials with wealth can continue to spend money in the treasury, and there is no need to exploit the people too much.

But now Cai Jing has taken away all the money, grain and material that he had left in the local area for emergency needs. As soon as the officials are short of money and spending, they can naturally only exploit the people more harshly.

In the late years of Huizong, Cai Jing fell out of favor, not only because Cai Jing was old and possessed power, but also because he failed to provide enough money to squander Song Huizong.

Over the past ten years, Song Huizong ruined all the wealth of his ancestors accumulated by his generations, leaving a set of rules with many disadvantages to the world.

Then Sun Fu once had a famous saying: In the first year of Jingkang, Sun Fu was summoned as the minister of the Ministry of War. He asked for the revisionist laws of ancestors. Zhao Huan asked him to ask for help from him, and Fu replied, "The ancestors' laws benefit the people, the country, the country, the law is respected, and the law is favorable to the traitors." At that time, he said a famous saying.

This ancestor's law is the old law, Xi and Feng law is the new policy of Wang Anshi, and Chong and Guanfa are the ones that Cai Jing played.

Now Zhao Gou is about to take up most of the country. Unlike before, only Hedong 3rd Road in Hebei, where the tax hierarchy in the central and local areas has just revealed a little bit of noise and quickly detonated the entire Bianliang City.

You know, the previous Bianliang City was filled with the four words "summoned by the court".

Zhao Gou did not forget the "test questions" he asked Qin Hui to bring to Bianliang City. Is it time for him to bear fruit? I never thought that the sudden rise of the central and local disputes were stolen by the limelight.

"The overall situation is to take the old law as an example. After so many years of chaos, the people of the government need to rest for some time. Does Liang Qing have any rules in his mind?"

Today, Wang Anshi's reforms have become terrible, and even people have put the sin of corruption in the world on Wang Anshi's head. Therefore, Zhao Gou directly followed the convention of the old law, and the Ministry of Revenue would probably come up with a specific charter.

Liang Yangzu had been promoted to the Minister of Revenue. Hearing this, he felt a hint of depression flashed across his face, but he still stood up and said yes.

Acting according to the old law, the central government's taxes are much worse than that of now.

"But things can be moved at any time, today is different from the past, and the law of ancestors cannot be adhered to. Duke Wang Wen and Cai Jing's place is inappropriate, but the orphan cannot give up the food because of choking. Therefore, the orphan wanted to set up several counties to be used as a pilot."

The word "pilot" that anyone in later generations knows is a conceptual breakthrough in this era. For a moment, all the ministers stood up to praise Zhao Gou's wisdom.

This is really a vocabulary that breaks through the thinking of the human brain.

"Although my Song Dynasty had the disadvantage of redundant officials, the view of being alone was that only 50,000 officials were far from covering the world. It was because our dynasty lacked control over local villages and villages. The first thing to do was to pilot the new policies in various counties was to go to the countryside."

Zhao Gou made a move to make everyone breathe.

He adjusted Zhao Song's administrative structure and abolished the titles of military and supervisors. The latter were all merged into the prefecture, because although the XX Army and XX Supervisor were also at the prefecture level in administrative levels, their jurisdiction was generally smaller.

Road—Prince Prefecture—County—Towntown District.

Zhao Gou is equivalent to adding a new fourth level to Zhao Song’s original third-level administrative framework.

Each county divides several townships according to region and population density. The scattered and wide-ranging land is a town, and the dense and concentrated land is a town, and the town is called a district in the city. Townships and districts are just names, and there is no other difference. Each township and district has a name called a public office to handle specific matters.

This was a blow and knocked out everyone. Many townships and districts were equivalent to expanding the scale of officials countless times. Where should money and food come from?

Liang Yangzu's face turned dark.

You should know that Zhao Song had the disadvantage of redundant officials, that is, he had to raise so many officials, which was too much. Now Zhao Gou has increased several times on the existing basis, so the Ministry of Revenue can't afford to emptie himself and even lose it.

In fact, in the past dynasties after the Qin Dynasty, the official number of officials (supported by the central government) given by the court was not enough to handle local affairs. Take the current example as an example. A county government office, a regular official official, that is, a master like Song Jiang, had only fifty or seventy people. How could a county be managed?

In this way, we can only rely on "miscellaneous factions" and "showdowns", including the fire consumption in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which belong to the "self-reliance" of local governments.

People solve problems themselves and do not cause trouble to the court. This "method" is a bit unlucky, and there is no constitution. Once the administration is corrupt or the court's control over the local area is weakened, it will turn into holes and continuously leak the vitality of the court, which can be said to be endless.

What Zhao Gou wants now is to normalize and rationalize this gray income and turn it into a legal income that can be seen.

The central and local governments should set a precise tax hierarchy, and everyone divided it clearly, which made the local government work hard. He felt that under such circumstances, it would not be possible to support more officials.
