At the end of the fourth year of Zhaowu, the snow seemed to have never stopped in this capital. Even when it was the end of the year, the sky was still white. Looking around, the whole world seemed to be covered with wind and snow.
As the end of the year approaches, almost all departments of the court have handled the matters within their respective powers almost exactly, just waiting for the holiday of rest to have a good year.
The emperor was not stingy and tolerant. This year, the joy of the unification of the world stimulated the emperor. As early as the victory in Quanzhou was passed to the capital, the emperor issued an order that all the registered officials and soldiers in the world would be rewarded with three months of salary. Such a kind decree naturally attracted countless officials and soldiers to be grateful and praised.
As well as this natural disaster, the coming New Year seems to be a little more festive.
In this seemingly leisurely, in the Ganqing Palace, the emperor convened a discussion with the important civil and military officials, but quietly decided on the policy that concerns the country's fortune for hundreds of years, and started the first shot of the Daheng Dynasty and imperial power going to the countryside.
The tax system was separated and the General Taxation Department was established, which was directly governed by the imperial center and managed vertically.
Similarly, it is also temporarily trialed in Shuntian Prefecture.
However, this time, it is different from the establishment of the Supervisor's Office. After all, in the past dynasties, there were special school officials responsible for education, but Daheng completely refined the school system to the grassroots level.
Although it is also considered the pioneering imperial power to go to the countryside, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the imperial examinations and change the talent selection system since ancient times.
But everyone knows that in a short period of time, with Daheng's finances, it is impossible to bear the financial pressure brought about by the rollout of the education system.
It is even unlikely for a long time to come, and a country will not have a suitable material selection system for a few years or even for more than ten years.
As a result, although the emergence of the supervisory yamen and the expansion of the new education system have always caused a lot of trouble, the impact is not as great as imagined.
Even for many people, it can be said that they are just waiting to see the emperor's joke.
This time, the movements of the Taxation Department are naturally not comparable to those of the Supervisor's Office. The Taxation Department is no less powerful than the previous military reforms and financial and tax reforms.
The emperor agreed to the establishment of Daheng Taxation College, but the first batch of taxation college students were not officials or scholars, but soldiers in the army.
The Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the General Staff jointly submitted a trial suggestion on the retirement and transfer of military soldiers.
Anyone with more than ten years of military service or who has made great contributions can choose to submit a transfer application. After approval, after training, he can serve as an official of the same rank as the military or the same meritorious service as the one he has made.
As soon as this resolution was released, the New Year atmosphere was almost instantly cleaned up, and the government and the country were in a turmoil, and people were restless.
Although Daheng established his country with martial arts, his military honors had already risen completely, which made the literati breathless.
But the arrogance and nobleness of literati and the vulgarity of military men have long been a habit that has penetrated into the blood marrow of literati!
Even though the emperor has repeatedly raised the status of warriors, in today's world of Daheng, the phenomenon of nobles and nobles in literary and military dignity is still common.
Reading is the best way out in the minds of all people in the world.
In the past, the temporary emergency response of military personnel, and even the civil servants of the Martial Arts Academy, the temporary measures during the turbulent period have brought about tranquility and turmoil that are difficult to suppress until now, let alone the customized military personnel to civil servants.
The noise suddenly arose, the government and the country were in turmoil, and impeachment memorials came to the emperor's table like snowflakes.
I don’t know how many officials and scholars ran around, and even scholars gathered at the Meridian Gate to kneel down to petition.
But in the end, strangely, the emperor did not react at all, and Wu Xun did not respond at all. Instead, the ministers of the various ministries and ministers came forward and suppressed the storm.
For a moment, there were endless curses on the ministers of the court among the scholars!
The name of the treacherous minister also spread rapidly.
But obviously, the public opinion of Shilin and the shock in the officialdom have little impact on Daheng, which is now almost military centralized.
Everything is still moving forward steadily.
In less than ten days, nearly a thousand soldiers and generals were selected from the imperial guards of the Beijing Army and the Imperial Front Camp and directly entered the newly established Daheng Taxation Academy for training.
Immediately afterwards, the various departments of the court drafted the charter of the Taxation Department at a speed that had never been seen before.
When the tax department's detailed system was formulated and announced, the original turmoil in the officialdom and the rebuttal of the soldiers in the army's relocation suddenly disappeared without a trace...
"If you don't see a rabbit, you won't show your eagle, this group of people..."
The emperor chuckled, "A man is a virtue, and whether the pros and cons are more important than the disadvantages, or the disadvantages are more important than the advantages, but we can clearly distinguish them."
Just like the two policies of the establishment of the Taxation Department and the military soldiers’ transfer system.
The establishment of the Taxation Department has increased the power of the court, which is the benefit. The benefits are eaten into the stomach and not saying a single word.
The system of military soldiers' transfer is against their interests, and for them, it is undoubtedly a disadvantage, that is, it is a quarrel.
But when they are told that these soldiers who have been transferred to the army will be filled in to the Taxation Department after being trained by the Taxation Academy. All local tax departments must set up tax arrest camps, and the tax arrest camps will be organized according to the military.
The General Taxation Department is affiliated to the Ministry of Revenue and the court!
The noisy sound disappeared immediately.
The reason is naturally very simple.
All prefectures and counties have set up tax camps, and tax camps are organized according to the army.
In other words, although it is called a tax camp and is all made up of officials, it is actually an army.
It represents the military power that civil servants have always wanted to reach out but can't reach out!
A county has a tax department and a tax department, and a tax battalion is under its jurisdiction.
In the whole world, there are more than 2,000 counties, hundreds of prefectures, and at least thousands of tax camps. Such huge military power and military power are also delivered to the door. The huge benefits are whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. These civil officials are undoubtedly very clear.
“Tax and education…”
The emperor silently thought in his heart that taxation and education, these two items, are too important for a country. They are separated and become a system and directly under the center. After repairing and repairing them in the future, it can be said that the most important step in the imperial power going to the countryside has been completed.
The situation has been opened, and the rest is to move forward steadily, and the separation of the rights of grassroots county governments can be stopped here.
Next, we need to strengthen the rights of grassroots county governments.
For example, the number of officials at the county level will be increased, and the existence of officials will be gradually eliminated, and local forces will be continuously suppressed.
For example, villages and towns below the county level are included in the ruling system to increase Daheng's control over the world.
For example, the education system is coordinated and the adjustment of the imperial examination system is adjusted to create this talent selection system belonging to Daheng.
like……
Of course, all this must be followed by Daheng's financial and tax power, or to be precise, it is done within your ability.
Unexpected wealth is ultimately rootless water, and in the end, it still depends on Daheng's fiscal tax revenue to support all this.
And when all this is adjusted, the new order of Daheng led by Emperor Zhaowu will be truly finalized.
And this process is destined to be very long.
The focus of the rule in the next few years, even more than ten years will be here.
Chapter completed!
