Chapter 257: King Qi: I am a professional at pitting the King of Han
Chapter 263 Yao Guangxiao: In five hundred years a king will emerge, and his rise and fall will be sudden.
"Hit a stick and give a sugar date, this is the way of the emperor. I know that this tax reform is so awesome that it will drive people crazy. There must always be a bowl of mild soup to make these people calm and honest.
Silver is this bowl of soup."
Zhu Gaojie said slowly, "It has been heard from time to time that officials are corrupt, so I gave this name specifically to encourage them to be honest officials as the name suggests. Knowing that the ministers' salary is not enough, it is decided to raise honest and honest silver from both China and foreign countries. It is useless to reward the treasures from above every year."
According to the wealth of the place and the official's performance, a certain amount of money for raising integrity is distributed, and the number of money for raising money is from fifty times to one hundred times the salary.
"For example, Lu Chaoyang, as the second-grade tax inspector, his salary is equivalent to 440 taels. In view of his important political achievements, he should be paid more than 40,000 taels of integrity-supporting silver by the end of the year."
Yao Guangxiao touched the monk's bald head and asked, "Did this money come from the treasury?"
"The money for raising integrity is considered as salary, and of course it comes from the treasury."
"The world is so big and there are countless officials like ants. Have you ever thought about whether the national treasury has enough money to distribute such a huge amount of money for raising integrity?"
"The national treasury is rich, and it is not just ordinary money."
Zhu Gaojie tapped the handrail with his finger, "The taxes collected in the first half of this year are enough to distribute this huge amount of money for raising integrity. The so-called silver for raising integrity is taken from officials and used for officials."
Yanglianyin came from Tian Wenjing, a minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
During the ten years that Tian Wenjing governed Henan, he was praised by the world as having the best political achievements in the world.
Zhu Gaojie smiled slightly and said: "Young Master, the matter is not over yet, let's take a look at it again?"
During the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had zero tolerance for corruption. He did more than Zhu Gaojie. Zhu Gaojiu at least left a way for corrupt officials to survive, while Zhu Yuanzhang killed them all. What the massacre brought was not a clean country, but a clean country.
In an even more chaotic country, officials knew that being a corrupt official in the Hongwu Dynasty was very risky, but they still took risks because if they were not corrupt, they would be dead.
"This is indeed... very clever."
…
He had previously thought that Zhu Gaojie was too anxious to do drastic things as soon as he became the prince, and the way he did things was stupid. But now it seems that the new prince was clearly prepared and had laid a dragnet to control the world.
It is included in it, watertight, and every step is interconnected.
This person was born in the Han army. Although these so-called Han soldiers were also Han people, they had already submitted to the Qing Dynasty when the Qing regime was still in the Northeast.
It's a pity that the inspector was not tempted by Sun Futai's offer.
He likes money, but he is not stupid.
Having said this, the prime minister in black bowed and saluted. Zhu Gaojie quickly supported the old monk's body and said: "Young Master, please don't try to hurt me. How can I bear your obeisance to me?"
But if you embezzle more than sixty taels in the tax supervision department, the Nine Clan will be punished directly.
Sun Futai was kicked so much that he almost vomited out his overnight meal, but the inspector was still angry. He waved his hand and said: "Here comes someone, who puts this beast named Sun in jail to await trial, and wants me to collect the money. This is
Do you want my nine tribes to be wiped out in ashes?"
If it can reach 5%, it is enough to call it a prosperous era. The country is prosperous and the frontier army is strong.
"Then let's take a look?"
Yao Guangxiao said with emotion: "You are far better than me in running the country. It is really a magical method. None of the things you do is actually a panacea, and ordinary people can do it. The real difficulty is to combine everything."
Connecting them together without leaving any hidden dangers, this clever political method taught me a lesson."
In the previous tax collections of the Ming Dynasty, the actual amount collected was not even the tip of the iceberg, the figure was between 1% and 5%.
But if you combine Yanglianyin with the Tax Supervisory Academy, it becomes very subtle.
The officials of the Tax Supervision Department in front of him were very aggressive and obviously couldn't be fooled. Sun Futai's idea was to get rid of these people first and solve the problem. As long as he was still in the position of Hangzhou Magistrate, there were many ways to make money.
In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary officials who embezzled more than sixty taels were sentenced to death.
The most important thing is that the country's fiscal revenue has increased astonishingly.
In fact, the salary in the Ming Dynasty was not that low. It was no problem to support a family with a year's salary, but for an official, it was far from enough to rely on salary alone. He managed servants, entertained guests, and curry favor with his superiors... who was not allowed to ask for money?
The salary of an official is only more than 400 taels a year. If you spend it casually, it will be gone. Is this possible without being greedy?
However, the emergence of Yanglianyin can make up for this shortcoming.
Sun Futai said with a smile, "How to collect taxes, my lord, can't you just say a word? The silver bricks in this cellar, just put in a sack, are your salary for a whole year. This cellar, I will
I gave it to your lord. Isn’t it just for this little money that we become officials? You see, after you have been busy for a long time, all the money has to be handed over to the court. How can you put it in your own pocket? To be honest, we, the chief minister of Zhejiang,
Sir, I can speak my mind, wouldn't it be nice to say a few kind words for you in front of that person?"
In order to ensure that these taxes could be collected, Zhu Gaojie also had an unprecedented policy of establishing the Tax Supervision Institute. In addition, he also made sure that the Tax Supervision Institute itself would not be corrupted.
However, Sun Futai never expected that the inspector's face changed drastically when he heard this: "You fucking want me to die, fuck your mother, get out of here!"
There are more than sixty taels in this cellar! Just put a silver brick into your pocket and be seen by the mysterious tax department official, which is enough to sentence him as an inspector to kill the nine tribes!
Killing these nine tribes is like a joke!
An official from the Taxation Department who was counting the silver bricks in the cellar inadvertently glanced at his own inspector, his eyes cold.
Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and said in admiration, "It is said in Zuo Zhuan that in five hundred years there will be a king. His rise will be sudden, and his death will be sudden. First, there was Taizu who was brave and drove away the foreigners, and then there is your Majesty today, who has...
The power of the earth swept across the world. I thought that there would be no successor to the Ming Dynasty, but I never thought that there would be a king like you who is better than Taizu and His Majesty. You really opened my eyes."
Yao Guangxiao held the Buddhist beads in his hand and was thinking about Zhu Gaojie's strategy in his heart.
"Let's talk about the matter, what you said today really benefited me a lot, and I can bear my respect."
Sun Futai didn't understand the system of the Tax Supervision Department, but he, as an inspector, knew it.
White tax and black tax, each tax is a huge astronomical figure.
"have a look."
It was in this position that he became close to Prince Yong Yinzhen and became his disciple. This Prince Yong was later named Emperor Yongzheng. Thanks to his good teamwork, Tian Wenjing's official career was at a rapid pace.
The existence of the Taxation Yuan, Taxation Department, Tax Internal Affairs Department and Yanglianyin cannot guarantee that the corruption in the Ming Dynasty will disappear, but it can suppress the phenomenon of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, reduce the occurrence of corrupt officials, and cultivate a huge number of incorruptible people.
Officials, ensure that officials can live a prosperous life without being corrupt.
After a brief cooling down, Sun Futai, the prefect of Hangzhou, also calmed down.
Human greed is like a snowball on a high mountain, growing bigger and bigger until it can no longer be controlled and explodes, triggering an avalanche. Raising honest money cannot satisfy human greed, and it is meaningless except that it will lead to the collapse of the country's economy.
Zhu Gaojie sighed, "The same is true for governing a country. Although a strong medicine can cure a disease, the country itself cannot bear the strong medicine. In the end, the life-saving medicine for treating diseases turns into arsenic for killing people. I am like this
With one move, the young master thought I was in a hurry, but he didn't know that it was already extremely slow."
"That's natural. I also understand your difficulty, sir. Only after collecting taxes can you follow what I said above. We are all officials. I understand, but..."
The turmoil caused by the Tax Supervision Institute is too great. If it cannot be controlled, it will be like embarking on the old path of the Hongwu Dynasty.
Therefore, even if these Han soldiers did not participate in the imperial examination, they had other ways to become officials. Tian Wenjing was one of them. He also started from a low-level official. After working at the grassroots level for many years, he slowly climbed to the position of cabinet student.
in position.
Later, the chief envoy of Zhejiang was moved out in order to put pressure on the other party and warn the other party that he had a backer behind him. They were also officials in Zhejiang, so they had to give him some face.
Sun Futai said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, I will pay the tax naturally."
Everything was absurd when viewed out of context, but after being linked together by Zhu Gaojie, a very subtle state of peace was maintained.
The inspector of the Tax Supervision Department was stunned for a moment: "How come you suddenly become so sensible?"
And Zhu Gaojie unveiled this cloth, revealing the true appearance of the iceberg, which could reach 30% at least. How terrifying is this?
The income of the Ming Dynasty this year must be at least five times that of previous years!
"Seniority and human relations have been around for a long time. All human affairs are in the hazy mist. Hard steel is useless. Slow things down."
From the Tax Supervision Institute in central Beijing to the tax supervision bureaus of various provinces, there are officials of the "tax internal affairs department" in each department. The tax internal affairs department conceals its identity and is hidden within the system of each tax supervision department. It seems that it is an ordinary
There are tax supervision officials, but in fact their main task is to keep an eye on the officials within the tax supervision department to see who has been corrupted, and then report it to their superiors.
If you don't care about this man's character and position, but just look at his methods, he is indeed a great man of his generation.
He is extremely accomplished in the way of governing the country, so he can naturally understand the purpose of raising honest banks. To be honest, raising honest banks is not very clever. If used poorly, it can even be called a bad move.
He realized that the Tax Supervision Department officials who came to collect taxes in front of him seemed to be no ordinary people, and the methods of handling cases were familiar to him. However, Sunfutai had also come through the wind and waves after all, and he had never seen any battles before, so he made up his mind.
How to do it.
He kicked Sun Futai to the ground and looked around in horror.
Tax officials who know the law and break the law will be punished with ten levels of punishment. This is no joke.
Officials of the second grade receive tens of thousands of taels in salary every year just from the money to support them. The source of these tens of thousands of taels of money comes from taxes that the local area could not collect before. Black taxes and white taxes are intertwined, and all of them have to be collected.
He really hoped that this Lord Inspector would be a little bit greedy. As long as he caught his tail and sent this fourth-level Inspector to prison, he would be promoted to three levels on the spot.
"Why are you using the chief envoy to pressure me? He's not from the same system. Our tax inspector is afraid of him?"
"Listen to me. Work diligently today to check the illegal tax of this person named Sun. Tomorrow, we will go and check the Chief Envoy to see how much he has been corrupted!"
"You have to pay taxes honestly to my tax supervisor!"
