Chapter 66 Ten Years Layout
After looking at Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "Do you think it's wrong?"
"I think it's inappropriate!" Xu Wenchang looked at Zhu Yijun respectfully and said, "The raising of the sage silver is of great importance. Everyone in the world is waiting to see what Your Majesty does. I originally thought that Your Majesty would first promote the sage silver in Daxing County."
"Your Majesty has established the Tax Division, but where does the people come from? Who collects taxes?"
"There are too many places to let the literati collect their own taxes. Although the court has a fish scale book, the court only sees the tax amount. It is difficult for the court to grasp how it is collected, whoever collects it, whoever collects it, whoever collects it, it is difficult for the court to grasp."
"There are various levies in the local area, and fire consumption and so on, this will lead to problems."
"If the gentry colludes with the government and collects less gentry, then they must collect more gentry. Such a thing will disrupt the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Once the people are forced to be anxious, something will happen."
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wenchang. Can you say that Xu Wenchang is worthy of being Xu Wenchang? It’s really amazing!
Looking at the problem directly through the essence, in fact, will local officials collude with gentry? There is no need to think about this at all, it will definitely collude. In this era, without the support of local gentry, officials cannot be regarded as officials.
How did Emperor Wanli die in the mining prison? He was not beaten to death.
After looking at Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun asked directly: "What do you think, my dear?"
"I think this matter should be slowed down. I will start with Daxing County first. After one or two years of trial, I can check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps. If there are any problems, I can solve them in time. After it matures, it can be implemented in one province."
"The Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces will be completed within ten years."
Ten years!
Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wenchang. If he only promoted the Qianqian silver, he could do these things in these ten years, but he couldn't wait for ten years. If a Qianqian silver is promoted for ten years, how can he do other things?
The key is that your future reforms require financial support and you need a stable fiscal revenue.
The taxes from the Salt Administration and the land are the most stable sources of wealth in the early stage. Without the support of these two sources of wealth, our subsequent reforms will be empty talk. Many things cannot be said or done.
"I am leaving the palace tomorrow. You can go with me!" Looking at Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and said.
Xu Wenchang was stunned. He didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhu Yijun's gourd, but he also saw that the emperor had no intention of saying it, so he had to bow and say, "I obey the order!"
When Xu Wenchang left, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly.
Although peaceful reforms are what you pursue, sometimes violent means will be more effective.
The next morning, Xu Wenchang came over early, and Hai Rui was also accompanied by Hai Rui. Zhu Yijun didn't expect Xu Wenchang to call Hai Rui over. However, judging from Xu Wen's appearance, Hai Rui must have followed him.
Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, changed his clothes, took Chen Ju and the guards out.
When he left the door, Wang Yongji also came. Zhu Yijun then smiled and said to the three people: "Today I will take you to see the Tax Department of the Ming Dynasty."
The carriage left the palace gate, passed through several streets, and finally stopped in front of a large courtyard in Dongcheng.
After everyone got off the carriage, they all looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.
There are people standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard. Unlike the other yamen janitors, the janitors here are more like soldiers. However, they are not wearing armor and their clothes are more like yamen runners.
However, their expressions did not look like yamen runners.
The waist knife on the waist also looks very good, and they are all the same, obviously in the military style.
The clothes of the four gatekeepers were similar to those of the yamen runners, black hats and thin-soled fast boots, but their clothes were not written on them, but a big word for tax, which looked a bit weird.
"This is a tax service." Zhu Yijun looked at the four people and spoke.
At this time, Chen Ju walked over and showed his waist card to the other party. Then a tax servant ran in and reported it.
Not long after, a middle-aged fat man walked out of it, wearing a green official robe and a white squid embroidered on his chest. Everyone could tell at a glance that this was a fifth-rank civil servant, and he was from the Taxation Department?
"I am the Director of the Archives Department of Taxation Department, Lu He, to the Emperor, and to all the great masters!"
Zhu Yijun nodded, then said, "Call all the people in the Taxation Department to the lobby. Today is the day when the Chief of the Taxation Department takes office!" As he said that, Zhu Yijun pointed at Wang Yongji and said, "The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he is in charge of the Taxation Department, Wang Yongji and Wang Yongji and loves his honor."
"Xiaoguan Lu He has met Wang Sicheng!" Lu He hurried to Wang Yongji's side and said respectfully.
Wang Yongji nodded and said with a smile: "Dr. Lu is exempt from gifts!"
Not only Wang Yongji, but Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang were also confused. Where did you come out of Lu He? Why did you suddenly have an additional tax department yamen?
Looking at the plaque in the Taxation Department’s yamen, they all knew it. It was written by Zhu Yijun.
The two door-guard beasts next to them are two Pixiu. Does this mean that they only eat and don’t pull?
"Okay, let's go in!" Zhu Yijun smiled and interrupted the gaze of several people who were ignoring around, then stepped into the Taxation Department. In fact, it was the first time Zhu Yijun came here, and he found that it was really big.
When I arrived at the main hall, there were already many people waiting here. When I saw Zhu Yijun walking in, they all knelt all over the ground.
Zhu Yijun walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked at the person below and said, "Don't give me a favor and calm!"
"I came to the Taxation Department today, mainly to send your Chief Secretary to you." As he said that, Zhu Yijun asked Chen Ju to read the imperial edict again. In fact, it was the imperial edict that was enthroned by the king, which was also a formal appointment.
"Tell me about your position and then what you do, it can be considered that you and Aiqing Wang met."
At this time, a civil servant standing on the left took a step forward. He was wearing a scarlet official uniform and Yun Yan was embroidered on his chest. This was a fourth-rank civil servant. He respectfully bowed to Zhu Yijun, and then he introduced himself.
"Secretary Shang Hong, the chief clerk of the Taxation Department, is in charge of the accounts of the Taxation Department."
After Shang Hong returned, another civil servant wearing a scorching official uniform walked out: "The lower official Zeppelson, licked the warehouse of the tax department, and was in charge of the warehouse affairs of the tax department."
"The lower-ranking official Zhang Li is the transfer officer of the tax department and is in charge of all transfer matters of the tax department."
After the three officials, a person who was obviously dressed in different clothes stood up because he was wearing a flying fish suit. He didn't wear much of this thing. He stood up and said, "I am a low-ranking Liao Changting, and I licked him as the Admiral of the Tax Division."
"In charge of the Taxation Department-Taxable Services."
After these four people, more than a dozen people left to introduce them one after another. They were basically doctors from various subjects, including Lu He, the Archives Department. The entire yamen is very complete and has a large scale.
Wang Yongji glanced at Hai Rui, and Hai Rui looked at Xu Wenchang, and the three of them were a little confused.
"After the establishment of the Daming Taxation Department, the Taxation Departments of the 13 provinces of the two capitals will be established soon, and the tax departments of each province will be under the jurisdiction of the Daming Taxation Department. I have prepared all the staff. When the Ministry of Revenue transfers the tax burden, it will be possible to start."
"There are not many tax service in various places for the time being, but it doesn't matter. I will let some of the Jinyiwei take over the tax service."
"In addition to provinces, prefectures and counties, there will also be tax departments. The entire tax department is spread all over the world and specializes in tax matters. From then on, the local governments in the Ming Dynasty did not have the authority to collect taxes, and all taxes will be collected by the Tax Department."
"The expenses of yamen at all levels are allocated by the court according to the upper, middle and lower levels, and are allocated in the annual tax revenue, which is called raising and retention."
"If you need money when you have major events, you can submit a memorial to the court, and then the court will allocate funds separately. The special funds will be used for the special purpose. The court will send special personnel to focus on the expenses of the money. Once corruption occurs, it will be severely punished."
Listening to Zhu Yijun's words, the three of them were stunned. The emperor had already prepared it, but where did the manpower come from?
Zhu Yijun knew about his own affairs. In ten years, he had prepared for these things for ten years. He spent ten years investing in two institutions, one was Chen Ju's military battle, and the other was Xu De's internal factory. After spending a lot of money in it, it was naturally time to produce results.
For example, the Liao Changting who just spoke is No. 3 of Shuntian Mansion, Neichang.
Many of the others present were from Wuqing Bo Li Wei.
Ten years have been enough to cultivate a group of skilled people, who are very familiar with the settlement of accounts and business matters. Many people are from business trips and are definitely rare talents.
At that time, I sent a group of young eunuchs to Wu Qingbo's business. In addition to supervising money and cultivating talents, they also needed to do.
The accounting school in Wu Qing’s side, half of the accounting school comes to his own side every year, and with the training school in the inner factory, hundreds of people spend every year. In ten years, the manpower he has accumulated is already very considerable.
Although it is unrealistic to arrange them all as one’s own people, it is still okay to form a tax department based on one’s own people.
With insufficient personnel, Zhu Yijun is preparing to draw from Jinyiwei in various places. These Jinyiwei are locally tyrants and have a lot of resources. It is also appropriate to draw a group of people from them to join the Taxation Department.
Now the inner factory has staffed all over the Ming Dynasty, with the provincial capital as its point and the prefecture as its surface. It has spread to the county towns not remote places.
A few days ago, I asked Xu De to split the internal factory, and some of the dismantled parts would be converted into tax department people, such as Liao Changting, who has been working in the internal factory for many years, and it is definitely very suitable to transfer taxes.
After all, these people know very well about the local area and even know a lot of dirty things about local gentry. Once someone makes trouble, they can take out the evidence of their crime without having to frame them or try their best to convict them.
