The first thousand seven hundred and forty-nine chapters
Swear!
Almost everyone in the palace was cursing...
To prevent people from getting rich is tantamount to killing their parents!
Since the Song Dynasty’s financial transparency, it has harmed the interests of many people. If we introduce a budget system again, it will be a trap to death!
Although they don't quite understand the budget system, judging from Li Qi's words, it is definitely an official's nightmare.
Before this, although the finances were transparent, various departments could still use some things to apply for more expenses from the Third Division, and then fish in troubled waters. This is also a phenomenon that has always existed in the officialdom. The furniture and daily necessities in the homes of ministers in the palace
, all received from the court, and even meals in restaurants were paid for with public funds, which is very reasonable in the mind of every minister.
It is conceivable that as soon as the budget system was introduced, the Third Division allocated such a small amount of money to you every year, and it was based on income. According to Li Qi's words, if the funds are not enough, you will have to live on your own. This is deceiving.
Too much.
However, Li Qi did not take care of their mood, and his speech continued.
"I remember that when Wei Chen first came to Bianliang, he was so poor that he didn't even have a penny. If Wu Furong hadn't taken Wei Chen in, Wei Chen would have starved to death on the streets. At that time, Wei Chen really had to tighten his belt to live.
, every amount of money must be calculated clearly, and you have to bargain and spend a lot of time to buy fruit on the street. This has become a habit. Until now, it has been like this, and the money that should not be spent is not a penny.
Don’t waste, let alone be a lowly person. Most people are like this. If you have money, be more generous and eat better. If you don’t have money, cut back on expenses and save food. And the country is composed of individuals, so the country should also have
For this characteristic, you cannot blindly pursue face. Even though you only have one penny, you have to eat meat buns that cost two penny. This is trying to make someone look fat. Wei Chen has not read any books, but he also knows that this is by no means a compliment.
"
Zhao Kai nodded after hearing this.
Qin Hui frowned and said: "I understand what the Privy Councilor means, but the country is not comparable to an individual. If we follow what the Privy Councilor said, this is almost an impossible budget. Because the interests involved are huge and complicated,
It is difficult to calculate as clearly as the Privy Council."
"Young Master, you just said that you can't stick to the rules and be content with the status quo in anything. You can't not do it just because you're afraid of trouble, even if you know it will benefit the court."
"But the budget system you proposed is simply not practical."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "These are all things on the books, how can it be calculated clearly? As long as you are willing, you can definitely calculate it clearly. Take your Zhongshu Province as an example, how many people are there in the Zhongshu Province? How many people are there in the Zhongshu Province?"
Can't we calculate clearly the total salary? Or the four treasures of the study that Zhongshu Province needs every year? In fact, Zhongshu Province does not spend much, so it is a very simple thing to calculate it. Arithmetic is a subject.
It is a very interesting knowledge, because all arithmetic problems have a very accurate answer, and this answer is unique. It is not the words of those saints, which look like mountains and peaks when viewed horizontally."
Qin Hui said: "You are right. The money spent by our Central Secretary Provincial Government every year can indeed be calculated clearly. What about military expenses? This cannot be budgeted."
Li Qi chuckled: "It seems that Shaozai has not understood what I mean. The most important basis for annual military expenditures is not to judge based on the current situation, but to distribute based on income. If the national treasury income is small, military expenditures will naturally be small.
, then it is natural to disarmament. If the national treasury has more revenue, then it can increase military spending and increase the army. Of course, the current situation is also a very important judgment. This is an emergency situation. This year's military spending is based on previous years' revenue, but
The national treasury has not only the income from previous years, but also reserves. These reserves are used to deal with emergencies, and we, the Song Dynasty, should use the main income for military expenses, not for food, drink and fun."
Then he said to Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty, now our Song Dynasty has always respected national interests first, so on the other hand, all policies should be driven by interests, and the budget system is completely in line with our country's governance strategy. Rich
Use more if you are poor, use less if you are poor. The interests of the country must be ensured. Why did redundant officials appear in the first place? That is because the national treasury did not overestimate its own capabilities and did not follow the principle of interests, resulting in an empty national treasury. The country can only support a hundred officials.
, why insist on raising a thousand officials? This is putting the cart before the horse. The country recruits talented people for the purpose of running the country, but sometimes lays off talented people for the same purpose of running the country. Maybe it is just a few people, but this is a mistake.
, we cannot ignore that rationality should be the first priority in governing the country. Only when there is money can there be government, and finance determines policies. Reducing expenditures does not mean that our Song Dynasty is impoverished, nor is it a loss of face, but is for the better development of the country.
Nowadays, the wealth of our Song Dynasty is increasing day by day. It is not visible yet, but once there is an imbalance in the income and expenditure, it may be too late to save it. We must start from now on and start to reasonably calculate every income and expenditure.
, Not only that, once the budget system reaches a large scale, coupled with fiscal transparency, it can very well prevent corruption and bribery.
As far as local politics is concerned, for the sake of political performance and wealth, many local officials are constantly tearing down the west wall to make up for the east wall, and then tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. The river course is changed again and again. Why do they do this? It is just to get rid of the third division.
Apply for funds in order to make a profit from it, but based on the budget system, I will only give you this much money, there is no more for you, and I have calculated how much money your state must turn over this year, if you split
If you want to repair the Western Wall to the Eastern Wall, then you have to put up the money yourself. If you can't, your political performance will be very bad, and you will also be tried by the Second Court, and you will have to explain carefully where each money was used.
Whether the results within the budget have been completed, if not, then a criminal offense has been committed.
As far as military expenditures are concerned, in the past military expenditures were directly allocated by the Third Division to the Sanyamen. The amount is a rough estimate, but basically it fell into the pockets of those generals. However, if the budget system is adopted, the Third Division will base on many circumstances.
To budget military expenditures, and based on the policy of fiscal transparency, the Third Division must inform the world. However, with the budget system, more details will be announced. If the Third Division announces the budget, every soldier in the Western Military Region will spend the New Year.
If you receive a sheep elbow, but it is only a sparrow in the hands of the soldiers, then someone among them must have embezzled the military pay, and the soldiers also know the budget of each of them this year, so anyone who wants to make profits from it and deduct military pay will become
There is no way to escape.”
Having said this, he paused and said: "Of course, if you think doing this will affect your financial prospects, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
This last sentence made those ministers swallow it hard as soon as it came to their lips.
Zhao Kai glanced at the ministers and saw their suppressed red faces. He almost laughed out loud. He thought to himself, you people are all very shrewd, but you only see your own interests, but no one else.
Considering the interests of the country, this is really unreasonable.
Mao Shu suddenly said: "Privy Councilor, although this budget system is good, once the budget deviates, it will lead to very serious consequences."
Li Qidao: "What Dean Mao said is right, but this cannot be attributed to the mistakes of this system, but to the people who make the budget. If there are mistakes, of course you have to go to the third department. Of course, some mistakes are worthy of forgiveness, such as some emergencies.
, The budget is going to face some changes, which can be temporarily reduced or supplemented, but if there are errors in some basic budgets, it will be the fault of the third department, and there is no excuse for this."
Zheng Yi was so angry that he asked you to finish your words. If you make any mistakes, I will take the blame. You must be cunning.
Zhao Kai looked at Zheng Yi sympathetically and said, "Secretary-in-Chief, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zheng Yi. He was only the third envoy, so he had the most say on this matter.
Zheng Yi thought for a while before replying: "Reporting to the emperor, I believe that this system must be more reasonable and standardized. The three ministers in charge of the world's finances seem to be a good position, but in fact it is not. It is not easy to do it well.
, because the Third Division also has the difficulties of the Third Division, but others cannot understand it. You also ask the Third Division to increase funding, and he also seeks the Third Division to increase funding. However, the Third Division only has so much money, and it is impossible to satisfy them all. If a budget is used,
If the budget is made, then the three companies can deal with everything calmly. Although it is a bit cumbersome, once the budget is made, the next year will be very easy. This seemingly cumbersome system actually simplifies things.
, get twice the result with half the effort.”
"Yeah."
Li Qi nodded repeatedly and said: "The Third Secretary is indeed a literate person, and he hit the nail on the head. Look at me, I haven't read any books, and I can't make the point even after talking for a long time."
Before you get to the point, your long speech just now all implies that the people present are the Zhongshu Province and the local government. You can be said to have made a guillotine for them. Zhao Kai can hear it.
He snorted secretly, but then fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly said: "Privy Councilor, you just said that your system was learned from business, so has your Zuixian Group adopted this system?
Where’s the system?”
Li Qi nodded and said, "It's already being implemented."
Zhao Kai said: "Then have you prepared a budget report?"
Li Qidao: "Since Zui Xian Group has just been implemented, Wei Chen only prepared a budget report on Zui Xian Ju's business in Tokyo."
"That's enough." Zhao Kai nodded slightly and said, "Now you can ask someone to show it to me."
"Wei Chen---now?"
"are you busy?"
"That's not true."
Zhao Kai said: "That's okay, I have to see if this budget report is practical."
"Yes, Wei Chen will have someone get it now."
Li Qi seemed a little hesitant as he spoke, saying: "But Your Majesty, this budget report is the commercial secret of Zuixian Group---."
Zhao Kai didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said: "Of course I know this. I'm just taking a look and won't reveal your secrets."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I will feel relieved now."
