The civil servants in the Ming Dynasty are at the center and have too much power in control. They have to manage political affairs, military affairs, and law affairs. These many powers are in their hands, and there is no clear and clear

The division also made many civil servants pursue the lofty ideal of limiting imperial power and governing the world with scholars and officials.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this is not good.

The official team of the Ming Dynasty cannot be simply classified as a "civilian group". It should be divided into more clear and clear areas and powers.

Gradually sort out the power framework of the Ming Dynasty and orderly promote the adjustment of existing power agencies. Especially the tax departments involving the tax and service system cannot be simply defined by one Ministry of Revenue. If taxes involving different fields are involved, they should have corresponding special management.

In this way, we can avoid tax evasion, tax evasion, tax evasion and other situations.

The road is long and arduous.

The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty itself. It was not easy to properly solve these problems. Emperor Chongzhen still had a lot to do.

The turmoil and movements caused by the capital will not affect the place in the short term, but it will have a corresponding impact on places adjacent to or facing each other.

Henan Governor's Office.

"In the past few days, our Henan Governor's Office and the Disaster Relief Administration Office have joined forces to file an unprecedented lawsuit against the various vassals under Henan's rule."

Sun Chuanting sat on the official hat chair, looked at Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and his group, and said with a serious expression: "You have also made a lot of efforts during this period, so that our prefectures and counties in Henan will gradually investigate and re-collect more than 900,000 yuan.

Acres of official land and register them.

The remaining part of the official land accounted for a large scale, but everything was difficult at the beginning and the most difficult road was smooth. All you had to do in the future was to follow the script.

Although the Fufan, Zhoufan, Chongfan and other Henan vassals hated their own officials and the Disaster Relief Administration for Disaster Relief, they were helpless."

Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and his group, after hearing what Sun Chuanting said, look at me, and look at you, and they all smiled knowingly.

Looking back on the previous experience, including some of the changes that happened during this period, it is definitely an unforgettable experience for them.

A lawsuit against the Henan vassals had a great impact and changed a lot. During this period, there were even several incidents of raising grain prices and laying prices, and there were almost some civil unrest.

In the end, they all took it down, and only they knew the ups and downs of the period best.

"But there's nothing to be happy with."

Sun Chuanting changed his tone, looked at Chen Zilong and others, and said with a serious expression: "Even if we can add millions of acres of official land in the end, can the taxes levied by the state dynasty be fully charged?

?

Others may not know about this. You are in the Disaster Relief Administration, so you should know more about the situation in various places, right?

Why do a large number of disasters occur in Henan, whether it is floods, droughts, locust plagues, earthquakes, etc.?

What is the root cause? Have you ever thought about it?"

Um?

Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and his group frowned slightly and looked at each other. It was obvious that they had their own ideas about what Sun Chuanting said.

"Reporting to the governor, local taxes are one of the causes of this phenomenon."

Chen Zilong pondered for a moment and stepped forward and said, "Although the governor has been focusing on this matter since he took office in Henan, this phenomenon has been repeatedly banned.

Some local officials colluded with local people and exploited the people through various means. If the year was better, the situation would not be obvious.

Once a disaster occurs, the problem will be serious.

Just like the matter of fire consumption, it is not the court that recasts new money and takes back the local coin power, which makes the situation in Henan much better than before. I am afraid that at this stage, all prefectures, prefectures, counties in Henan will be

I don’t know how many people will be dragged down by such drought.”

Xia Yunyi followed closely and said: "In addition to the above situation, there is another serious problem, that is, the widespread collection of population taxes.

For those groups with little land under their name or simply no land, the more children they have, the more tax they pay.

During the previous period of time in Guide Mansion, the student discovered that there were horrifying phenomenon of infant drowning in many places. Baby boys can survive, but baby girls…”

As he said that, Xia Yunyi couldn't continue.

In this cannibalistic world, for the lower class, there is always the least human rights to the people. The root cause is very simple. For the powerful, they do not have these people in their eyes.

Looking at the expressions revealed by Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and his group, Sun Chuanting felt that it was time to gradually try to put the ditches into the acres through these test groups in front of him.

From Emperor Chongzhen to set up a special office of the Internal Affairs Office and transferred the Disaster Relief Office and the Independent Commission Against Corruption to the Name of the Internal Affairs Office, this also made the young scholars and students gathered in the Disaster Relief Administrations in various places have hope of being promoted.

Although the number of officials awarded through local disaster relief agencies every year is very small, many people are moved by this to enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

The most intuitive phenomenon is that many of the scholars gathered in the past could not endure the hardships of the grassroots level and finally chose to leave the Disaster Relief Administration. However, after the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to spread, many of them returned to the Disaster Relief Administration in various places. What they asked for

He wanted to use the Disaster Relief Administration as a springboard and then enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

After all, the competition for the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was too fierce.

There are too many scholars who have studied hard for more than ten years or even decades but have not passed the imperial examination and finally have a confused life.

"Wozi (Chen Zilong's name is written as a note), you will give the details of "spreading acres" to you to read." Sun Chuanting looked at Chen Zilong, took out a stack of official letters that he had collected for a long time, and spoke.

"If we want to solve the tax problem under Henan's rule, we must do something that can effectively change the disadvantages of the existing tax and service system, so that the country can increase taxes and reduce the burden on the lower class people.

This matter was explained to me by the Emperor.

The emperor always wants to promote tax reform in an orderly manner. You are all talented people favored by the emperor. I hope you can work with someone to do something that benefits the country and the people in Henan, even if this matter will be borne by you.

I am notorious, and I hope you can work together to implement this good policy.”

The main hall is very quiet.

Just by the literal meanings I heard, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and his group knew that what Sun Chuanting said must be a lot of major issues at the level.

What is involved must be the population tax, and it even involves fish scale book and land tax, but many of them have somehow developed a strong fighting spirit in their hearts.

Things that the emperor can attach great importance to, if they can follow the prefectures and counties under Henan, and follow the Henan Governor Sun Chuanting and do this well, they will inevitably receive the attention of the emperor, so they may be able to meet the emperor.
