Chapter 158 Set sail (4)
"It's not that I don't understand, it's that the timing is not right." Li Wei pointed it out incisively.
Anyway, this matter must be recorded in history, so it is better to be honest and honest.
"yes."
He waved his hand and let the ministers sit down. Then he turned his eyes and called out a eunuch, drew a picture on the paper with his pen, and said, "You are busy with official duties. You will take the drawings of the couplet to serve as a supervisor, and let the craftsmen make some such furniture to reduce the burden on you."
The thing is very simple, it is just a regular Taishi.
The Tang Dynasty allowed ministers to sit down and talk to the emperor. When the Song Dynasty was standing, kneeling, and when the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they concentrated the imperial power. However, a generation of monarchs would be foolish, and the country would immediately **. The more concentrated the imperial power, the more likely the monarchs would be to be foolish. A vicious cycle was formed.
A reasonable system should disperse part of the imperial power to ministers. But this dispersion is not scattered on one minister, but scattered on many ministers to form a primitive pseudo-democratic lord. Only by conciliating with each other can we eliminate the emergence of some **.
The appearance of a Taishi Te is very simple, but because you sit high and comfortable, it represents countless meanings.
Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty...,.
"No need to say more, a scholar dies for his confidant. Even if he is a king and a system, he still needs to learn to respect him. If the alliance does not respect you, how can you make your duty and serve the country?"
"yes."
This measure still touched many ministers.
Li Wei then said: "I have thought about the charity warehouse incident repeatedly. It is not that there is no problem with closing positions for several major stocks, but because the amount is huge, some losses and greed seem inconspicuous. If you really check it, you can also find the problem. This cannot be eliminated. Because the salary of low-level officials is too low to support their families."
This reminded him of the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty officials had very little greed for ink, and the rituals and officials were very popular.
Although the dispute between Wang and Si led to a very bad atmosphere in the Song Dynasty. The struggle and internal fighting hurt the vitality of the Song Dynasty, the two of them thought that the Song Dynasty was good, but they were kind enough to do something very bad.
Why is this phenomenon? The country almost takes out 10 million yuan in marriage every year as the salary of officials. This does not include military generals, nor does it include lower-level officials. Lower-level officials are responsible for the service of officials and landlords, and they are not paid. Later generations said that the Song Dynasty was redundant officials. In fact, compared with the number of civil servants who were later, how could the Song Dynasty be considered redundant officials? It was redundant officials, and the high salary further highlighted this phenomenon. Once the military generals and lower-level officials were eliminated, Li Wei estimated that at most 20,000 to 30,000 officials were divided into 10 million special money.
An official was spread out, and he reached four or five hundred yuan in a year and paid and various subsidies. At the same time, the Song Dynasty was relaxed in business and had its own industries and fields. In fact, as long as he was not as generous as Su Dongpo, he would be drunk today, so he would buy ten and twenty beautiful girls to come back to soak and manage it. Even if an ordinary official raises a mistress or a third girl, he should not raise ten and twenty women and one hundred women, and in two or three years, he could also drive a BMW and live in a villa. If he could do business, it would be better. He could kill a thousand chickens for a bowl of chicken tongue soup a day like Lu Mengzheng. Or like Song Qi, he would light a light every night and hold various beautiful girls to drink. Or like Kou Zhun, he would light hundreds of candles every night to celebrate the banquet, and he would be happy.
Therefore, the phenomenon of ink greed is not strong.
Do Li Wei dare to play like that?
All the officials cannot make a sound. Yes, it is OK to check, but they have to eat after all. They are forced by life. I checked it today and processed a batch, and I will get started again tomorrow.
Li Wei sighed, there was a way to relieve it, but he didn't want to say the least: "Let's set up a service."
"What is a service?" Wei Yuanzhong asked curiously.
"He is a famous family in various prefectures and counties, common people's landlords, and children of officials, and takes on some of the duties and forms low-level officials to serve the court."
"Your Majesty, this is a good idea." The ministers immediately agreed.
The Tang Dynasty had similar measures, and the service of the Song Dynasty also evolved from all dynasties: First, the Northern Wei Dynasty, officials did not pay a penny because they all came from wealthy families and did not need this salary. It just made the poor officials look bad, and Gao Yun was the Secretariat Order, so poor that he even had no idea of his wife and children. Tuoba Rui didn't believe it, so he came a sudden attack and ran to Gao Yun's house to inspect. There were several thatched houses, only a few beds of broken wool on the bed, and the kitchen was empty, either two old vegetables and a bag of salt.
Tuoba Rui stood at his house and was stunned for most of the day, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "The ancients were so poor?" Since then, he did not dare to call him the name, but called him the Lord Ling.
When the Tang Dynasty was a little better, he could become prime ministers and his annual income was equivalent to that of state-level cadres in the Song Dynasty. In order to reduce the country's financial pressure, a few low-level officials, such as the lovers and the Lizheng, were also borne by the rich families in the village.
But it was not clear. If these people were allowed to bear a large number of low-level officials, because their family background was good and they did not need to be greedy for some small money to support their family, it would reduce the occurrence of greed for the phenomenon of greed.
However, the advantages of the landlords and the rich class were strengthened, and Li Wei could not predict the future consequences. Therefore, after hearing this, he kept silent. It was not a solution. Whether it was the charity warehouse and the charity warehouse, it was still necessary to promote it. However, the charity warehouse was popularized and the charity warehouse was concentrated. It cannot be said that there was too much food in Jiangnan, so there were no warehouses. There were disasters and floods in Jiangnan! The whole country must have necessary storage just in case. Changping warehouses were promoted nationwide, and the charity warehouses were reduced, and the low-level officials who had management were reduced. All that could be done was this.
Put this
He said the idea and said, "In fact, the loss can be made up for it. For example, making old grain and making wine, making food for livestock. However, every change of law will lead to some tricks and robbery. Therefore, Ximen Shaojian said the word "fire consumption":
This is a heavier topic.
"I know it is far more serious than a charity warehouse and is not easy to deal with. However, if you sit idly and ignore it, the situation will become more and more serious, and it will eventually become corrupt and affect the country. It is necessary to issue an edict to prevent the people from forcing the people to pay taxes with food or money. People-oriented, how can the country change it?
?There are no pressure on the people. There are gold, silver and treasures. In order to cause fire consumption, officials melt it. In order to greed for one penny, they often cause losses of two or three pennies. Why do you have to do it? They also need to issue an edict to allow officials from all over the country to register when the people use gold, silver and treasures to pay taxes. The people should keep their roots and supervise and constrain each other. Those who commit crimes will be punished severely."
The edict issued two preventive measures to completely eliminate greed and all kinds of disguised greed, which could not be accomplished at all.
There are many other things, such as establishing schools, two-level imperial examinations, Yunshuo moved out of the vacant land, and carrying out some benign reforms to taxation, such as improving commercial taxation. The court tried to control some industries to transfer taxation from farmers. It cannot be taken blindly, but also adopted some inclusive policies for merchants and carried out benign collection. In addition, although the customer tax system was implemented for foreign people, loosening the policy of closure in various prefectures and counties, increasing population mobility, and prospering industry and commerce, the effect was not very significant, and the current tax types must be reformed.
Such innovations are good, but some of them will involve the interests of various landlords and powerful people.
So he said: "Issuing an edict to the Lu family in Fanyang, Qinghe and Boling Cui family in Boling, Longxi and Zhaozhou Li family in Chayang Zheng family in Chayang, Taiyuan Wang family..."
After thinking about it, I added the most basic representatives of the Wang surname of the Tang Dynasty, including Cui Lu, Li Zheng Wang, Zheng Wang, Xie Yuan Xiao, Wu surname Zhu, Zhang, Gu Lu, Wei Peixi, Xue, Yang, Du, and Changsun Yuwen, Lu Yuan, Dou. However, there are far more than these Wangmen. The upper surnames listed in the "Clan Chronicle" revised by Zhenguan are 400 nearby families. Some famous families are comparable to the above major families.
Therefore, all the top aristocratic families were listed one by one: "Le'an Yu family, Ren family, Bohai Gao family, Feng family, Diao family, Zhongshan Xing family, Gaoyang Xu family, Guangping You family, Cheng family, Qinghe Zhang family, Julu Wei family, Fanyang Zhang family, Zu family, Shanggu Hou family, Kou family, Taiyuan Guo family, Henoi Sima family, Hedong Pei family, Xue family, Bang family, Jingzhao Wei family, Du family, Wugong Su family, Hongnong Yang family, Anzu Huangfu family, Hu family, Liang family, Longxi Niu family, Tianshui Zhao family, Quan family, Shangguan family, Wuwei Yin family, Dunhuang Su family.

Let each family send a person who can speak on behalf of their house and house to come to Xijing to interview with the Lian."
It just so happened to take advantage of the rare opportunity to correct the situation and implement some changes. Otherwise, there will be greater resistance in the future.
But we must negotiate with these people. Without their assistance, any change can become a void.
Looking through historical books, from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, almost eighty-year-old elites and prime ministers from all dynasties and generations came from these groups of people.
Actually, there are still some, but the impact is small and I didn't invite it.
Cen Changqian asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, is it your order that these families go to Xijing..."
"Cen Qing, I know that I have just eliminated some unnecessary disadvantages and will not act impatiently. Otherwise, it may shake the world and may not be beneficial to the country and the people. For example, if the land is distributed to taxes, it will solve some uneven wealth and uneven tax payments, alleviate national pressure, and benefit the people. However, in decades, the country's arable land will be reduced by half. Cen Qing, believe it?"
It’s not that the people stopped farming, but that the wealthy families concealed the land.
If there is no other way out, the tax pressure will eventually be overwhelmed by the common people. The poorer the poorer the richer the richer the richer:
Take a look at these prime ministers, half of them came to first-class or second-class families, and half of them, including Di Renjie, were from officials. Look at the origins of several prime ministers, and you will know how difficult it will be to solve the gap between the rich and the poor.
He waved and said to Qiu Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong: "Erqing, you can go to the East Palace with your family:"
"Here."
When they came to the Eastern Palace and asked them to sit down, Li Wei asked, "What do you think of Confucianism?"
"Your Majesty means?" Di Renjie was puzzled and said,
"What would happen if I had a mixed study?"
Both Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong understood Li Wei's meaning. In the early Tang Dynasty, they were not very repulsive to miscellaneous studies, and some even took miscellaneous studies during the imperial examinations. However, the emperor seemed to be very cautious about miscellaneous studies, and the book "Search" was specifically about miscellaneous studies. Many people have already read it.
But Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is knowledge, all good. However, we cannot belittle Confucianism. It is the idea and link of the unity of the country. Once cut off, the country will become disgrace. Your Majesty, please think twice. Including Buddhism and Taoism, it not only praises good and criticizes evil, but also gives the people hope and hope. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties also attracted this point. The country must also focus on Confucianism and supplement it. It cannot allow Buddhism and Taoism to affect the production of the country and surpass Confucianism. This is the most reasonable composition. As for miscellaneous studies, it can be spread, but it cannot be based on the main body of these three."
Confucianism must be the mainstream, otherwise science will be promoted again. Without the support of Confucianism's righteousness, the country will be in chaos!
