The first thousand one hundred and forty-seven chapters of the wonderful Eugene
In Jinling City, Li Xuan left the front hall early today and returned to the harem!
After finishing the major adjustment of officials in Songjiang Mansion, Li Xuan suddenly found that he was suddenly free. Although there were still a lot of discounts sent to him, most of them were trivial things.
In the morning, he reviewed about forty books, and then he had no interest in reviewing them. Why, because half of these books were about trivial matters, and what made him even more speechless was that the remaining half
These are all documents sent by local officials to enhance their presence.
Let’s not talk about the trivial matters. After all, although the matter is small, it is still important, and the imperial study room has already given review opinions, and the Hanlin Academy has also compiled a summary, so he simply read the summary and then looked at the handling opinions of the minister on duty in the imperial study room.
, generally if there are no problems, just give it a 'get it' or 'read' rating.
However, he was speechless at those excerpts that enhanced his sense of presence!
What is a discount to gain a sense of presence?
In order to prevent themselves from being forgotten by the Holy Emperor Li Xuan, local officials would submit zhezi for nothing. For example, the current governor of Guizhou, Yu Jinhong, just took office in October and has already received more than ten zhezi since he took office.
, how long has it been? Just over two months, not counting the time he went to Guiyang to take office. If this time is deducted, the time this person took office as governor of Guizhou is only a few months at most, and then this person, surprisingly
More than ten envelopes were sent.
And most of what is said in these excerpts is nonsense.!
His first letter was sent to him in less than three days just after he left Jinling City. This first letter was about saying goodbye and feeling sad that he would not be able to listen to the teachings of the Holy Emperor in person in the future.
, this is quite normal, Li Xuan commented: Don’t read it.
What I mean is, stop talking nonsense and go to Guiyang to take up the post!
The second note was written by Yu Jinhong when he arrived in Dangtu. The note said that the north wind blew and the temperature dropped sharply that night in Dangtu. He asked whether the holy body was in good health and that he should wear more clothes to take care of the dragon body. Li Xuan was
Comment: I am well aware that it is a cold winter. You should go to Guiyang as soon as possible to take charge of the affairs of keeping out the cold, so as to prevent the people from not being able to cover their bodies.
The third envelope was sent by Yu Jinhong when he arrived in Jiujiang. This time there was no nonsense, just a simple greeting.
Li Xuan commented: My regards, I already know your filial piety, please don’t say hello too often.
Then, a few days later, Li Xuan received another coupon from You Jinhong and asked him to say hello!
Li Xuan commented very unceremoniously at that time: "My greetings, please greet me if you have nothing to do!"
Later on, this Eugene Hongan became a member for a while!
But half a month later, this Yu Jinhong arrived and sent another note, saying that he had taken office and asked Li Xuanlong whether he was in good health.
Li Xuan continued to endure and reviewed: "I am safe!"
A few days later, Li Xuan was teased by this person again. This time, instead of saying hello, he said it was raining in Guiyang. When he saw the rain, Li Xuan thought that there was going to be a flood in Guiyang. But when he saw it, he was like, Nah!
It's just an ordinary winter rain.
When it rains, it rains. The Tang Dynasty is so big. It rains somewhere every day. It's not a heavy rainstorm or a rainy season after a long drought. It's just an ordinary rain. It deserves your respect.
Did the governor write a special note and send it to you?
At that time, Li Xuan commented "I know!"
Then, a few days later, this person sent another note, saying that the rain in Guiyang Prefecture had stopped, the sun had come out, and the weather was very good. By the way, he said hello!
Li Xuan reviewed: "I'm sorry, please don't go overboard on trivial matters!"
Then, Eugene Hong made another discount in a few days!
He said that the New Year was approaching, and he wanted to go to Beijing to pay New Year greetings to the Holy Emperor, and also to say hello.
Li Xuan commented: "I'm sorry, you have a lot of things to do when you first become your governor, so please don't return to the capital to pay New Year's greetings."
But this man refused to change his nature and continued to make excuses, saying that he would feel uncomfortable if he did not go to Beijing to pay New Year greetings. He begged Li Xuan to allow him to return to Beijing to pay New Year greetings. Li Xuan rudely criticized him: "No!"
During this period, there were several other envelopes. Although they talked about some government affairs, they were all trivial matters.
This morning, he received another note from Yu Jinhong, saying that since he could not return to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings, he would send his eldest son to return to Beijing in his stead to pay New Year's greetings to the Holy Emperor and present New Year's gifts.
Li Xuan was very angry at that time. Before promoting this Yu Jinhong, why didn't he think that this person was so verbose? He was very honest when he served as the chief envoy in Shandong, and he did a few good things during his tenure. However,
Why do you just go to the press for the most important things now, and go to the press to say hello even if you have nothing to do? How come you, a dignified governor, are so idle?
This made Li Xuan particularly helpless and even angry!
I was annoyed because this man had been posting trivial things for three days and two. Unfortunately, he had not done anything extraordinary. He had done a good job as governor of Guizhou and had not caused any trouble. He was not allowed to be careless.
Take him away.
This made Li Xuan really want to curse people after reading the excerpt. Finally, he wrote a long paragraph of criticism on the excerpt, two to three hundred words, and then sent it through the secret code.
What kind of comment? It needs to be transmitted in a secret message, so naturally it is not a good word!
A simple translation in vernacular is: Bastard, don’t make mistakes when you have nothing to do. If you dare to make mistakes again, I will directly demote you to Gohe State in India!
I just don't know if this person will be honest in the future. If he continues like this, Li Xuan may not really ask his subordinates to prepare several candidates for Guizhou Governor.
This Yu Jinhong can only be said to be a relatively special representative among them. In fact, there are many such people. Basically, most of the officials who are qualified to receive Zhezi cannot avoid asking for Zhezi at meetings to increase their presence. However,
Most of the low-level greeting envelopes sent by middle- and low-level officials would be filtered out, but Yu Jinhong was the governor of a province, and no one dared to filter out his envelopes, even if they were greeting envelopes.
This is also generally the case for governors of other provinces, Taoist priests and even some important prefects and other local officials. They either talk about trivial things or simply ask for peace.
After all, major events don't happen every day. Many places are uneventful, and officials have no good reason to make formal announcements.
Most of the excerpts reviewed every day are trivial things. It is normal for Li Xuan to be a little annoyed, but it is not enough if he does not read them, especially those at the level of prefects, governors, envoys, and Taoists in important areas.
It is always necessary to read official reports. Otherwise, how can we understand the local situation?
Today, Yu Jinhong was disgusted again. Li Xuan simply went back to the palace after handling the papers. The imperial meeting was not held, and the ministers who were about to be summoned were also missing. Anyway, today's imperial meeting was nothing.
The ministers summoned were all ordinary duty reports and acceptance reports. There was nothing important, and it would not be a problem to postpone it until tomorrow.
This situation actually started at the beginning of this year, and it has been almost like this!
During the Unification War, everyone in the Tang Empire was very busy. In the second half of the eighth year of Xuanping and the ninth year of Xuanping, which had just ended, there were many various matters of restoring people's livelihood and reforming. Li Xuan was still busy every day.
But ten years after Xuanping, there are basically no wars, and there are no large-scale reforms in reform affairs for the time being. The major events this year are generally only the reform of the imperial examination and the split of the tax department, plus the affairs of Songjiang Prefecture.
.
Other than these, everything else is basically trivial.
But for Li Xuan, many things are just trivial matters, but for others, this is not the case.
For example, this year is coming to an end, and the annual budget allocation is about to begin. The military and the cabinet have already begun to argue about the proportion of military expenditures for next year, and the army and navy within the military are also arguing about the internal allocation ratio of military expenditures.
The same is true for various departments on the cabinet side, all arguing over the budget.
But the financial budget happens once a year. Li Xuan has already had a complete set of complete response plans. He has become accustomed to it. He even has a rough allocation plan in his heart. The debates among the ministers,
Li Xuan basically doesn't care much.
Anyway, the general framework has been determined, and the details are left to the ministers to argue, and he doesn't care.
In the fiscal revenue budget for next year, the eleventh year of Xuanping, the figure given by the Ministry of Finance is 86 million taels of silver, which is a bit more than this year, but not too much.
In the past two years, the Tang Empire's fiscal revenue has generally maintained a steady increase, from 60 million in the early years, to more than 70 million, to 80 million, and then to 86 million.
, the growth rate has not doubled, it has increased by leaps and bounds, but it has maintained this stable growth rate every year. In Li Xuan's opinion, this situation is very healthy.
At present, the Tang Empire has unified the country and basically accepted all the territory of the former Ming Dynasty. In addition, it also added the Koryo Peninsula and parts of the Northeast. However, these places are poor places and cannot provide much fiscal revenue.
Therefore, in terms of agricultural taxes, the agricultural taxes collected by the empire in recent years have generally remained stable since the eighth year of Xuanping, because the land is constant. Even in recent years, the empire has encouraged reclamation and land reclamation, but this encouragement policy has been tax-free.
In terms of policy, that is to say, no tax can be collected on the land that has been reclaimed in recent years. Agricultural taxes still rely on the original existing land.
In this way, the development of industry and commerce has become the main driving force for the growth of the empire's economy. As the economy increases, fiscal revenue will naturally increase.
Due to the current empire's statistics on the entire industry and commerce are still relatively primitive, it is difficult to actually calculate data such as gross national product, and various data statistics are still quite troublesome for the current empire.
The only thing that can be accurately counted is probably fiscal revenue!
