One thousand four hundred and forty-seven, the tax secretary will also become a hero
No one knows what Guo Peng wants to do when he goes out to tour the world.
All ideas are speculations, and they are unpredictable before they happen.
But Guo Peng decided to leave Luoyang to travel around the world. Obviously, he had confirmed that even without him in Luoyang, Guo Jin could control the situation.
Guo Jin no longer needed Guo Peng to take charge of Luoyang and could control Luoyang, and then control the world's authority, so Guo Peng chose to leave Luoyang and travel around the world.
Is this something Guo Peng wants to do and needs to travel the world, or is it that he deliberately frees up his position to let the new emperor show his authority well? Everyone doesn't know.
But what everyone knows is that Guo Jin is very lucky.
Guo Peng pioneered the people's ability to read and learn history, which triggered a craze for learning history among the people, and thus led to a large number of history enthusiasts and historical scholars who were born further.
They quoted scriptures and linked to what had happened in the past to discuss how lucky the crown prince Guo Jin was.
The Guo and Wei Empire allowed the people to discuss state affairs, but did not think it was usurpation, and to a certain extent protected the people's freedom of speech.
In such an environment, people can discuss state affairs, ministers, generals, and even emperors.
So everyone knows that Guo Jin is a very lucky emperor.
Of course, this is true. To be lucky, there are few emperors in the world who can compete with Guo Jin and who can control supreme power like Guo Peng and then be willing to give up.
So from Yande to Xingyuan, it was just an overnight event, as if nothing had happened. The court, Luoyang, and the world had nothing happened, and the transition was achieved so smoothly.
But Guo Peng is like this, I don’t know if Guo Jin will be like this in the future.
Immediately afterwards, another related news came out.
The Supreme Emperor traveled around the world and asked the emperor's eldest son to accompany him.
Guo Peng was out for a tour of the world and asked Guo Chengzhi to go with him. This news really surprised many people and then talked a lot.
This message is obvious.
Compared to the emperor's official enthronement of Guo Chengzhi as the crown prince, it is more intuitive to express that the Supreme Emperor is willing to inherit the throne after Guo Jin. The third emperor of the Wei Empire seems to have made a comeback.
However, before everyone knows anything about this young eldest grandson, he will leave Luoyang with his grandfather and travel around the world. I don’t know when he will return to Luoyang.
Is this what I mean by planning to be with you?
People constantly pondered the ideas of the Supreme Emperor and wanted to find some mystery from history.
But unfortunately, there has been no corresponding event recorded in history, and they cannot correspond one by one.
Guo Peng did not wait for them to find any clues from history books, and on the first day of November, he decided to set off.
Because I don’t know when Guo Peng will come back, Guo Jin rushed to ask Guo Peng about some questions he wanted to know. Until he sent Guo Peng out of Luoyang City, Guo Jin was still talking to Guo Peng about currency reform.
Guo Peng asked him to pay attention to the control of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance. If necessary, he should let his most trusted confidants take office and strengthen the strength of the tax department.
"The importance of taxation to the State of Wei is self-evident, so I won't say much about it as a father. If necessary, some wealthy businessmen and even powerful people who think they are amazing can be used to take coercive measures.
For example, establish an armed force specifically under the jurisdiction of the tax department to be in charge of tax collection. Those who evade taxes and do not pay taxes will be dispatched to deal with it. Taxation is an absolute government affairs and the army cannot be allowed to participate."
Guo Jin was a little surprised.
"Can the tax department also control the armed forces? My father has always attached great importance to the army, especially not allowing civil servants to touch the army. For this reason, he also set up a staff platform to cut off. Why can the tax department allow the armed forces to be allowed?"
"Tax is too important to Wei State. You have been emperor for nearly a year. You should be able to understand that most of the problems in the government are because there is not enough money. Where does the money come from? It is to collect taxes. Wei State cannot make money by itself.
The money of Wei State was either confiscated by war or taxes. There was no other way. Wars were not common, taxes were everything. Without taxes, there would be no Wei State. In order to ensure taxes, sometimes coercive means were used.
For the father, the war between the gentry and the gentry in the world is for education, so the war between the tyrants and the tyrants in the world is for taxation. For the father, the tyrants and the tyrants in the world are for taxation, and the killing is more than 100,000 people? In order to maintain this result, you must strengthen the Taxation Department."
Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder: "The Sili lieutenant has mastered more than a thousand vassals, thus becoming a powerful position in the capital. If the Tax Department doctor can master tax armed forces, he can also become a powerful position with low status and high power. In this way, it can also strengthen the court's attention to taxation."
Guo Jin thought for a while and nodded slowly.
"My son understands what the father thinks."
"Well, there is another thing you have to remember that this special armed force must be separated from the army like the vassal masters of the Sili School. You can put him alongside the police who were set up in various counties and townships for your father. It does not belong to the military system, but to the normal armed forces."
Guo Jin nodded.
"The Sili School Captain is in charge of the Dharma soldiers, so the Tax Department's Doctor will be in charge of the tax soldiers?"
"Anyway, it's your setting, as long as you like it. Of course, the requirements for tax soldiers and judiciary soldiers are the same. They are literate, educated, able to read and write, and are proficient in taxation. They are said to be armed, but in fact they are organizations like officials.
The number of people should not be small, or it should be large, otherwise it will not be shocking. Moreover, in order to prevent tax soldiers from colluding with those in the local area, it is best to adopt the rotation system in the army, work in one place for no more than three years, and then switch to other areas."
Guo Peng briefly described his idea of strengthening the strength of the tax department.
Only when the tax department is strong can the treasury be better collected taxes. If the tax department is weak and powerless, it can only bully the civilians, which will be a waste of the rich rewards that Guo has obtained from going to war with the world's powerful people.
The tax department should be strong and fierce, and the powerful people in the capital would tremble when they hear it, and they would feel scared and fearful.
Even if a person who evades taxes, even the powerful and powerful in the capital, the tax department doctor must dare to send a team of tax soldiers, forcibly break into the other party's mansion, use an iron lock to hold people, and put a steel knife on the other party's neck, tell him - pay taxes, or die.
If the Taxation Department could be so strong, the national destiny of the Wei Empire might have lasted for a long time.
In the future, the Taxation Department's Doctor must become a typical representative of a low-level and a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, just like the Sili School Captain.
The father and son walked along the way and talked about a lot of related matters. It was not until the main entrance of Luoyang that the conversation was almost over.
After looking at Guo Chengzhi who followed behind without saying a word, Guo Jin asked, "How long will it take for my father to come back this long trip?"
Guo Peng thought about it.
"That's not necessarily true. I always have to go to a place I haven't been to before. I plan to go to the Western Regions first, and after I come back, I will go to Yizhou, and then from Yizhou to Jiaozhou, and then to Yangzhou."
"so far away?!"
Guo Jin was a little unacceptable: "Father, that's too far."
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and have never even been to your own country. How can you feel real and truly know what problems are there in the local area? You are the emperor and you don't have time to go. I will help you to see where there are any problems, and then come back to tell you."
Guo Peng smiled and said, "You still have to doubt others' eyes, do you still have to doubt others' eyes for your father?"
"It's not that I don't doubt or doubt. It's like a long journey, and my father and mother are not young anymore. How can I bear such a bumpy pain?"
"What kind of person do you think of your father as? You are really seventy-eighty-year-old lying on the bed and moving? You are only fifty-one years old."
Guo Peng shook his head helplessly: "No need to worry, you will definitely come back for your father within two years."
“…”
Guo Jin didn't know what to say.
Guo Peng seemed to be a little too willful.
If he couldn't talk about Guo Peng, he would tell Cao Lan.
"Mother, it's too dangerous for my father to go so far, right? And it will take two years to go there, two years!"
"Hahahaha, Ah Jin, don't worry. In fact, your father is also considering me. He promised me a long time ago that he would take me all over the world, but he has never had time. This time, he has free time."
Guo Jin didn't expect that his mother would be so expectant.
He has no choice.
We can only instruct Dian Wei and Xu Chu to seriously protect Guo Peng, Cao Lan, and protect Guo Chengzhi.
In addition, Guo Peng had to write to him every month to let him know where his parents were doing. If he didn't receive the letter for a month, he would send troops to see the situation.
Guo Peng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Cao Lan took Guo Chengzhi into the car, the concubines got into another car, and Guo Jin and the ministers and generals who were seeing him off also came outside Luoyang City.
Guo Peng held Guo Jin's hand, looked at him deeply, and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Be your emperor seriously, don't let me regret my decision."
"My son knows."
Guo Jin nodded and asked as if he was tentative: "Does my father think it's okay to start making arrangements for Arqiong now?"
Guo Peng was silent for a moment and nodded.
"When your mother and I come back from the Western Regions and arrive in Jiaozhou, we will give you news. At that time, you can ask Arqiong to join us in Jiaozhou. In short, we have to meet each other. After this meeting, we don't know when we will meet."
Guo Jin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it out in the end.
He understands Guo Peng, and Guo Peng understands him. There is no need to say such words anymore.
"Do you prepare for it during this period and see what else is missing. This is a major national event, not a small matter. You cannot take it lightly. You also need the people of the Ministry of Finance to calculate carefully. Can you support the two brothers in overseas development at the same time? Even if you have gold and silver on the Japanese island, you cannot be generous. Do you understand?"
"Son understand."
