Although Ouyang Bian is young, he is not a naughty person. He is so upright and ruthless to those who are conscious. This is not his style.

Such a lonely minister is not suitable for Ouyang Bian. What he wants to do is a minister who can do things.

If you want to do things, you have to handle the relationship between all parties well.

So Ouyang Bian didn't mind the request.

He would not kill the person who asked him to come. However, after careful investigation, if there is a position that suits him to develop, he can still sell a favor.

If you really don’t have any talent, Ouyang Bian will explain it to someone, or suggest that they go to the central bank’s training class to receive training. After a few years of experience, it may be more beneficial to their future.

Ouyang Bian's approach is indeed more humane. Even if he has requested the request and did not get the person he wants, they will not only not blame Ouyang Bian, but are rather grateful for Ouyang Bian's plan to develop a career path for their nephews.

So although Ouyang Bian arranged for many people in his system to enter the officialdom, no one had any objections, and on the contrary, more people were grateful.

There are some big landlords in some places who have a lot of resentment towards the court because of the matter of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang, but Ouyang Bian took a different approach and selected one or two talented people from their family to make up for the gap.

Compared with the officialdom, the land tax they paid was not worth mentioning, and the resentment was eliminated for a while.

However, in this way, Ouyang Bian became very busy. He had to constantly weigh the interests of all parties and constantly examine everyone who had to fill the gap. The workload was really greater.

Fortunately, his think tank is getting bigger and bigger.

The Qingzhangtianmu working group has been expanding. Although some people who have deep qualifications and have made great contributions to Qingzhangtianmu were recommended to other positions, more and more people have been added, and many of them are from the central bank.

The central bank has become a preparatory class for Ouyang Bian to train middle and lower-level officials.

Officials who have passed the central bank training class have a common characteristic, which is that they attach great importance to the economy.

For governing the country, understanding the economy means knowing how to do things, because people with economic thinking generally have less logical thinking.

There is only one problem, but it is becoming more and more urgent. The dispatches of the Song Dynasty became increasingly in short supply.

The Song Dynasty had a full plan and there were only 10,000 real official positions, but now there are more than 20,000 officials, and there are more officials who have been detained but not sent.

This is no longer a question of whether to pay a salary or not, but the situation where you have an official position but cannot be compensated for the lack of it will make these officials feel resentful.

This sign is becoming more and more obvious.

If Ouyang Bian is the leader, he will restructure the official system and incorporate the functions of clerks into the official position, so that the average quality of officials in the entire officialdom will be qualitatively improved.

Officials who have not made up for the vacancies have their own salaries, which means less consumption of the clerks.

Although clerks do not need the court to pay salaries, they will make trouble from taxes and the people everywhere, and in fact they are still fetching the court's wool.

The key is that the political affairs of clerks will make the people distrust the court and make the court's trust among the people less and less. This is the most important thing.

However, the changes in this area cannot be moved at the moment, because with such a move, the world may really be disrupted.

Especially now, we are still clearing the land of Zhangzhang. At the critical moment of paving the way for the whip method, if we still want to attack the official, the opposition forces will probably increase several times in an instant.

So what Ouyang Bian is doing now is to try to install his own people in the officialdom. When these people gradually take control of important positions, he will have more helpers.

However, this process is destined to be a process of dripping water running away from the stone. Because it can make up for too few shortcomings, it is impossible for him to give all the shortcomings to his own people, and he has to balance the forces of all parties.

However, Ouyang Bian was not in a hurry either.

First, he is still young, second, he still has a lot of time.

In early February of the third year of Xining, Sima Guang, the Censorate, submitted a review of the Corvée Law.

As soon as this book was published, it suddenly became an uproar in the inside and outside.

Because the content stated in the "Request for Compilation and Review of Corvee Service Law" is generally similar to the content of the article written by Zhou Shuren in the Weekly Report of the Song Dynasty, and is more radical.

In the "Request for Compilation and Review of Corvey Service Law", Sima Guang proposed to merge taxes and labor service, merge land taxes and labor service in various names to collect them, and at the same time, part of the labor service burden was distributed to the land acres.

The past households and territories were transferred to labor service based on the number of households and grain distribution;

All taxes and service burdens are deducted from cashiers;

Farmers and households with various burdens can pay for their labor service, and the government will hire someone to bear the labor service;

The collection of taxes and service was handled directly by local officials. The original "people's collection and service" system that used grain chiefs and village chiefs to handle taxes and service were abolished, and was changed to the "official final" system.

Sima Guang specifically emphasized that the ten-gao Ding Grain was jointly organized into one li, the one-state and one county were jointly organized into one prefecture and one prefecture and county were jointly organized into one prefecture and one prefecture and one-state and county were jointly organized into one prefecture and one-state and county were jointly organized into the Transport Department.

All the grains of the dynasties were sent to the labor service, and the amount of internal quantity was divided into the best and exempted. Each grain was woven a few silver, and each grain was examined for a few silver, and the traditional and simple matters were considered, and the science and technology was compatible with each other, and the book was created.

In addition, local governments are not allowed to have any levies!

What caused an uproar here is that if Sima Guang's proposal was followed, many loopholes in the past that had been deducted by corruption were blocked. Not only that, all kinds of governments used to make profits would certainly be left without any taxes!

How can this work?

So many objections emerged.

Of course, their statement is also high-sounding, and to sum it up is the following points.

First, if this tax law is followed, the Song Dynasty treasury will probably be empty in a short time, because only land taxes are collected, without other levies and measures to make up for losses, the court will have to bear the losses, and the tax will definitely be greatly reduced;

Second, there is no levy or labor service in various places. Many water conservancy projects, maintenance of official roads, and no one will do the work of cracking down on bandits. Over time, everything will be ruined and bandits will be rampant;

Third, if you do not pay the physical goods and only check cash, it will be extremely inconvenient for farmers to complain. If it is handled improperly, it may cause civil unrest.

Therefore, for the stability and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, such mediocrity really had no practical effect.

The law of ancestors is not easy, and the law proposed by scholars like Sima Guang is even more out of reality.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

It is true that Sima Guang is a scholar, but this ancestral law cannot be easily used to deal with Sima Guang, which makes Ouyang Bian feel confused.

The most common use of Sima Guang in history is that this ancestral law is uneasy, but now it is used by others to oppose Sima Guang.

It's really fun!

Ouyang Bian couldn't help laughing a few times.

As the saying goes, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, who will the heaven spare?
