A very thick note was handed to Zeng Gongliang the first one.

In fact, Zeng Gongliang was sitting in this position and felt like he was sitting in pins and needles. Whether Zheng Lang or Fu Bi, his qualifications, talents and knowledge were better than him.

There is no way, two humble gentlemen just don’t take the lead, so they have to carry it. Open and read, the first one is to talk about finance, and the government orders are gradually smooth, and some fine adjustments are made later. Zhao Xu is frugal, and Zheng Lang thinks that the fiscal deficit this year should be less, not more than 40 million, which refers to things, and it will be turned into money, not more than 30 million yuan. An amazing progress can be barely even if the bank supervisor returns. But there is a premise that this year’s weather is good, there will be no major wars in the northwest, and there will be peace in the second half of the year, and the government orders are smooth. At the same time, most of the mountain monuments are misappropriated from the bank supervisor. If the government orders are not smooth in the second half of the year, reforms fail, or there is a disaster or war, it is definitely not the only deficit.

The crisis is serious and cannot be neglected.

Zeng Gongliang's words are true and cannot be distinguished.

In fact, if Zheng Lang takes action seriously, the crisis will become lighter, but Zheng Lang will not take more actions this year, mainly restructuring. The crisis disappears, and restructuring will not be expected. Let this crisis hang above everyone's heads.

Others don’t know what he wants, and Zeng Gongliang doesn’t know, so he continues to read.

The second thing is to say that Zheng Lang will launch two more prisons to let everyone cooperate. These prison shares do not use money to buy them, but choose good households from various prefectures and counties, as well as owed households to inject capital. Zeng Gongliang asked suspiciously: "What prison?"

Zheng Lang launched the fourth surveillance, the sleep surveillance and the sugar surveillance were launched locally. The income should not be underestimated. Every year, it brought more than one million and more than two million surveillances to the court. Combined, it is almost equivalent to half of the income of the salt franchise.

The two prisons launched by the court were even more common. Without the support of these four prisons, Zeng Gongliang could not imagine what the treasury would be like now? But he never thought that it was these extra benefits, coupled with the increase in the south and the increase in commercial taxes that made Han Qi's economic control more and more dispersed and ultimately uncontrollable. The ministers opposed it and had to cover it up. It was a good thing, but if used poorly, it became a bad thing, and of course it became a strong evidence for Zheng Lang to persuade everyone to reorganize.

One prison Zeng Gongliang knew about it, and it was developed in Zhengjiazhuang, which seemed to be related to smelting. But what about another prison?

"It won't work if you say it. Next year's fireworks will be in March." Zheng Lang said. It is impossible to announce it before the reform is over.

"Why don't you let the deeds pay money to the court?"

"Mingzhong, in the spring famine season in March, poor people have insufficient food at home, and still have seeds left to replenish hunger with wild vegetables. Why not eat the seeds?"

It is to give up some small profits. Once the reform is successful, how much money will be saved in a year?

These contract stocks make the powerful and powerful compromise with the court.

Reform is necessary, but Zheng Lang has never been very tough, and there are still a series of compromises. Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing have compressed 4,000 Beijing officials to 1,600, and 25,000 formal officials to 1,560. That is unlikely to be achieved.

Zheng Lang advised that on this basis, he asked the various departments and departments in the capital and local departments to add some places as appropriate. He did not say much, but this is the basis, and even if he adds it, he would not add three or four thousand people. However, in this way, everyone can slow down.

The nature of laying down 10,000 officials and laying down 5,000 officials is still different.

Zeng Gongliang sighed. If the actual execution continues, it is easy to increase officials, but it is difficult to lay off officials. Not to mention laying off thousands of officials, it is not easy to lay off hundreds of officials. After looking at the more than 700 officials in Beijing who were brought out, he received at least more than 100 letters of pleading.

But what should I do if I don’t lay off?

Keep reading, here is how to cut it. Those who are over 70 years old will persuade them to withdraw. As long as they are not special, they will force them to withdraw.

If you are weak and sick, or have serious physical incompleteness, such as major auditory and vision problems, which seriously affect the ruling person, you will forcibly persuade him to retreat. If you are not old in the middle, you will be well prepared and then let the Zhongshu Quan choose again.

Those who do not act, those who are cruel to the people and those who are in a dim position will forcibly persuade them to retreat. This article will be complained by the people, investigated by the Supervision Department, and handed over to the Central Secretariat for judgment. Even if it is reorganized, local officials will still be redundant. After the reorganization, many officials in the prefectures and counties will exceed the standard. According to the first three articles, the prefectures and the Tongju will be reviewed by the Prefectures and the Supervisors, and then handed over to the Supervisors for approval. As for the prefectures and the General Administration, the Supervisors will be directly handed over to the Supervisors for approval based on the results of the civil response and personal review.

It is also a method, and it cannot be slaughtered randomly, only some useless or bad officials. Zeng Gongliang suddenly made one thing, and asked the states to judge who to slaughter themselves, to drag all the officials of the state government into the water. Otherwise, the Secretary of State would have a greater opposition.

Zeng Gongliang didn't expect it and just sighed in his heart, it was so easy. Keep reading.

The former is a special official, and there is a group behind it. There are huge officials without any difference, with three quotas and one. How many officials are there? Once there is a gap, the government has been corrupt in recent years, and all of them have been competing, which has also led to a low style in the entire officialdom.

Why are there party struggles? If one of them has the style of ancient scholars and officials, and cannot fight like Fu Bi, I will retreat. How can party struggles come about? This is also the reason why the official atmosphere has become worse and the resentment has increased.

Raising a post is not as expensive as raising a post official, and it also has to be raised. Some senior officials also need to pay a salary of several thousand yuan a year. The post officials are also controlled, and officials are moved every three years, but now they are moved every four years. If there are no special circumstances, such as those who have made great contributions, they must stay in their post for four years, so that the policy can be continued and avoid frequent exchanges between officials and changing orders every day. The family system has changed from one person a year to one person a year. When is the time when officials are calmly calm and when will they be restored as appropriate?

In fact, it is impossible to restore to the age of Jingyou, and it has become a new family system invisibly. The second is to control the number of imperial examinations and Jinshi. From the root, control the phenomenon of redundant officials.

Zeng Gongliang sighed again.

A good solution, but how difficult it will be to implement it?

The Supervision Department is restored and improved, and other departments in the capital are shrinking, but the only one that expands is the Censorate, which is the Supervision Department.

Each route has a subordinate institution. One official envoy and one deputy envoy. Two documents, four inspectors, four officials are not officials, but officials, and they are accountants who settle accounts. Eight officials have added to the route. The duties are to inspect the implementation of taxes along the way. Officials, civil injustice, Baojia Law, exemption of service, warehouse law and other kinds of military and government affairs are all the right to patrol. Even if the account books of the transshipment envoy can have the right to read them. However, they only have the right to patrol and have a large right to patrol, but they do not have the right to participate. If you find any problems, you will report to the Censorate. The Censorate reports to the two government offices or the emperor according to the situation, or impeach the relevant officials.

It may not be able to play a perfect role. The East-West Factory and Jin Medical and Health Department of the Ming Dynasty have not been achieved, and there are only eight officials and four minor officials along the way. How can it be achieved, but it can shock the officials from all walks of life. Zeng Gongliang raised his head, looked at more than a dozen chanting officials in the Censorate, and smiled bitterly. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Keep reading.

It's a long list.

There are nearly 2,500 people, including all departments and departments, as well as more than 700 Beijing officials who have been cut.

Because of this reorganization, it involves all states and prefectures. Not only does it reorganize, but it also reviews the destroyed exemption law, warehouse law, Baojia law and soldiers in various places. The future supervision department will not be able to complete this task.

Nearly 2,500 officials were selected from each department, Fan Chunren was stationed in the capital city to command remotely, and then led by ten ministers to inspect the implementation situation in various prefectures and counties. These Beijing officials had their own talents and performance. Some were transferred back to the capital city after inspection and continued to hold their original positions or promotions, and some filled some positions as bad local officials. Some were not good at performing well and they had to be sacked one after another.

Zeng Gongliang finally realized that in order to reduce officials, let local officials deal with local officials, and even let these Beijing officials deal with local officials, they all want to keep their posts, but they can't do anything. Local officials will definitely attack each other, and those who go down will definitely cause trouble for local officials so that there will be more vacancy and fill in them.

The troubles of Zhongshu are reduced invisibly.

He raised his head with a sense of laughter and cry, looking at Zheng Lang and asked, "Xingzhi, if so, are there too few officials in Beijing?"

This time, I have been visiting more than half of the Beijing officials. No wonder Zheng Lang was reading the Beijing officials' resumes every day a few days ago.

"Ming Zhong, many are enough. If it weren't for the controversy, a thousand officials in Beijing would be enough." Zheng Lang said lightly. One thousand officials in Beijing would definitely not be enough. However, after the reorganization, the government orders were smooth, and one thousand five hundred officials in Beijing would be enough. But Zheng Lang dared not say that only one thousand five hundred officials in Beijing would be no less than two thousand five hundred. Otherwise, he would be forced to step down by the scholars and officials in the world. Everything would end!

This is a severe measure.

There are also comforting measures below.

Some officials have been laid off. If they are not convinced, please provide evidence and make their own political achievements to prevent superior officials from taking the opportunity to suppress them. Give them another chance. Once implemented, nearly 200 Beijing officials will inspect the situation along the way. It is impossible for two hundred officials to work with their superiors to make defamation certificates together, right?

The second article is that if the layoffs are cut, at least the officials will be retained and the salary will be continued. The opportunity will be given. Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, severely incompetent and inaction, or harsh people, most officials will have new opportunities to recover. There were already many charity studies in various places in the Song Dynasty. Under Zheng Lang's promotion, there were more charity studies, but the teaching staff was very weak. Many of these retired officials were Jinshi. They were allowed to enter these charity academies to teach and reflect on themselves. If there were contributors, they would be given priority to be appointed again if there were any officials who were short of officials. Secondly, they would be given priority to be appointed again by taking office. Secondly, they would be given priority to be retained after the official positions and salary, followed some good officials to be minor officials, studied and observed, and conducted a second disguised survey. Those who performed well would also be given priority to be appointed again.

If an official is turned into an official, it will be possible to lay off 20,000 officials and arrange them.

Three chances of survival will reduce complaints.

Seeing this, Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly again and said to Zheng Lang: "There are so many people who can understand the wisdom of the world."

There will still be complaints, but in this way, the opposition will inevitably become much weaker.

Zeng Gongliang said this, and Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Lang started with officials in the first step, and Zhao Xu was not confident enough.

Keep looking down, these Beijing officials did not look at the performance of officials, but also had many tasks. The exemption law was successfully implemented for more than ten years. If Zheng Lang counted from Taipingzhou, it had more than 30 years of history. Now all destruction is that officials are inaction and are too lazy to collect them, so as to avoid offending people. Some are to curry favor with the powerful and levy the money for exemption to the households below the fifth grade. The old system is fully restored and the county is reviewed. If all local tyrants oppose it, it is also possible to restore the original service law. There are two options: either restore the old service law, or pay the exemption money for the income of the fourth grade household or above, or the previous hard-working deputy servants were fully executed. Anyway, there were more than 70 prefectures in the Song Dynasty still enforced the service, and not more than one.

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly again.

Next is the Baojia Law. There are too many baoding, but the training is declining. There are many first, second and third-class households who are tax-free and fifth-class households. The disease is also incurred. Even Zhengzhou has similar situations. On a large-scale investigation, the Baojia Law is still under investigation. They are allowed to reform themselves, make up for taxes, and do not hold them accountable. They are even used as good households as priority to enter the ranks of new supervision stocks. If they are not corrected, they will not only force them to supplement tax evasion. They will also be whipped or slaughtered in accordance with the national laws.

Finally, I saw the role of the two prisons from the beginning.

The reunion-style complicity and compromise are helpless, otherwise it will not be implemented.

The tax situation in various places is also investigated, and national tax standards are posted in various prefectures, counties, and even important villages. If there is a collusion between officials and businessmen, the whistleblower can get one-third of the tax evasion. If there is a heavy tax, report to the supervisor and send someone to check. The court will refund all the heavy taxes.

The destructive warehouse method was not mentioned.

Most of them are misappropriation, but it is the top priority. The severe drought is not far away. But now we cannot hurry.

The officials who reduced the severance in each prefecture and county only mentioned it lightly. If the prefecture and county feel inconvenient, they will talk to the Beijing officials who went down to interrogate this time, and then after review, they will submit them to the Secretary of State for inquiries. The number of severance will be reduced as appropriate.

Finally, there are Yintian and Bingzhou County.

When talking about the word "hidden field", Zeng Gongliang had a headache and was also inquiring. There were 60 states this time. Seeing this number, Zeng Gongliang's eyebrows were furrowed together. However, after looking closely, he shook his head with a wry smile at Zheng Lang. It was too cunning. The sixty states were the largest in number, but these states had a significant characteristic. Almost none of the top wealthy families. It must have offended many people, but it will not offend the top wealthy families. It can also play a deterrent role.

But Zeng Gongliang didn't know that as for some top wealthy families, Zheng Lang planned to encounter sooner or later, the foundation was laid in one fell swoop. In the next few years, several companies will be taken, otherwise the deterrence will not be enough. As for how to investigate hidden fields, there was a strict system before, but it was not implemented. Without saying, the next one was the states that were merged, with a total of 32 state troops and 142 counties.

The action is not bad, but there are various compromises, the temptation of profits of the two supervisors, and some clever arrangements, which will be difficult, and there will be great controversy and opposition, but it will be smaller than Zeng Gongliang expected.

After reading it, Zeng Gongliang said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether it's right or wrong."

Although he had a good relationship with Zheng Lang, the incident was too big this time, and Zeng Gongliang could not predict the consequences, so he could only answer in an ambiguous manner.

After saying that, he handed it to Fu Bi.

Check it one by one.

Some say yes, some are silent, and some are opposed.

Both letters are very long, mainly lists and reports. If you care about it, you will be confused. The main thing you care about is your own department, but who has no disciples, children, relatives and friends, so you are slow to see it.

Zhao Xu took the eunuch to tea, then stood up and made tea for Zeng Gongliang himself.

"Your Majesty, I dare not take it," Zeng Gongliang almost shivered in fear.

"Mr. Zeng, in a critical moment, I hope Mr. Zeng will help me." Zhao Xu said. Let's put your selfishness aside first and help me survive the sadness.

He was very humble, one was because he was anxious, and the other was because he was somewhat influenced by Zheng Lang.

But drinking the tea brewed by the emperor himself, many people felt mixed feelings.

After turning the tea, the voices of opposition became much weaker.

It is not because the ministers are selfish and know the benefits. The law of exemption from service is revitalized. Baojia uses real fifth-class households to protect officials and reduce officials. Once in and out, it may be more than 20 million yuan in money. If there are other measures, the country will soon save money.

But if the implementation continues, there will be too much turmoil and no one will have confidence. Even those who support it may not be able to be full of confidence.

Since they did not object to each other, Zhao Xu said: "Graft an edict."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare not take responsibility," said Fan Chunren.

"Are you afraid of trouble?" Zhao Xu said unhappily, "Others can't do it, you are Zheng Lang's student and Fan Zhongyan's best son."

"If it is not true, my ministers lack talent."

"Fan Qing, there are several reasons why Mr. Zheng recommends you. First, you have a gentle personality. If you are a cruel official, this move will inevitably cause greater controversy. Although the country is in trouble, it should still focus on being gentle and quiet. Therefore, you are the only one. Second, your moral character and unfair dealing with things can't be presided over. Third, your talent, lack of talent will only cause serious chaos, and it is you. However, after the execution, I will ask the Secretary of the Secretariat to send officials to assist you."

Fan Chunren was speechless, whether to appreciate it or push himself into the sea of ​​fire.
