The princes were first shocked by the official's anger.
Although the new emperor is different from the previous emperor, he has always been very modest in his upbringing and has never heard of officials getting angry.
Although the officials are young, their performance has always been very stable. Even if the court meeting turns into a mess and the officials are angry, they will deal with it calmly and speak calmly.
After everyone entered the Chui Gong Hall, why didn't the officials come first...
After being stunned for a while, I remembered to look at the densely packed forms hanging on the wall.
At a glance, one table can clearly display all the data of all states, prefectures, counties and dynasties.
Red, black...~ Before we even get to a specific state capital, the dazzling red color as a whole gave Wang Anshi a dark look on his face.
Obviously, there are so many local officials who are opposed to the Green Crops Law!
Thirty-two? The whole column is filled with numbers above one hundred, and there is only one thirty... going Shun Shun... this is Ruzhou?
Let’s list it in order... Is this the yield per mu? The yield per mu is thirty kilograms? Ruzhou?
Who is this?
Wang Anshi suddenly felt comfortable again. He was a little grateful to the governor of Ruzhou...
This alone has discredited all the data showing the increase in acres. The key point is that the officials are very angry now, and the consequences will be serious.
"Your Majesty, where did this amount of yield come from?"
The column where you can see the yield per mu is sorted by country, dynasty, and state capital. Officials only say that it is the calculation of the two taxes and the number of cultivated fields. I really don’t know how it came about.
The level of mathematics in this era was just like this. Although numeracy was considered something that scholars learned, very few people really studied it.
Therefore, Han Qi has this question on behalf of all the officials of Zhengshitang.
"Zizheng, please explain the source of the yield per mu in detail to all the great ministers..."
Zhao Xi didn't seem to have calmed down yet, his tone was slightly mocking.
Don't care about it anymore. Don't care about it. Officials deceived the officials. Regardless of whether the political hall is responsible or not, as the head of a hundred officials, whatever the officials say must be accepted first. Once we understand the reason for this number, it will not be too late to say anything.
.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen..."
Xue Xiang knew that he needed to do this when he was retained by the officials. The officials knew it, and regardless of whether they told the story or not, judging from the official's current mood, if they didn't curse, it would be regarded as Han Han.
The moment the numbers first came out, the entire Gongfang City statistics team was dumbfounded.
"The tax figures for each state and capital are readily available. When calculating, we used last year's autumn tax and this year's summer tax as the base figures."
"Dividing the tax revenue of the state government by the number of farmland reported by the state government is the yield per mu. This is to exclude the official land that is not taxed and the private land of scholars and officials, and only calculate the farmland that needs to be taxed...
…”
It should be made clear that this is not difficult in the first place, and you are not stupid.
"The two tax figures are also reported by the state government, which may not be true..."
Hearing what Sima Guang said, Xue Xiang regretted a little that he thought his husband was not stupid.
Sima Guang analyzed these reported data to infer the accuracy of the two tax amounts.
Just saying this casually...~
He is a real person, and he can't think of so many things at once.
Although he opposed the Young Crops Law, he was very shameless about such behavior and could even feel the same as the officials.
It is understandable and human to have doubts about the two taxes.
"Sima Xianggong's words are right!"
Zhao Xi got into trouble because of the crime...~
"As Sima Xianggong said, take Ruzhou as an example. There are two situations. First, Ruzhou cultivates farmland. The taxable farmland reported this time is accurate."
"In other words, Ruzhou concealed the tax revenue from last year's autumn grain tax and this year's summer grain tax, and embezzled or hid it or even secretly divided the tax revenue from the imperial court!"
"The second possibility is that the tax figures are accurate, but Ruzhou officials fabricated the farmland out of thin air..."
No matter which one, the guilt will not be light.
Sima Guang wanted to say: I don’t think that number is real. But it can’t be said that the government has already implemented the plan.
Deceiving the court and sharing the tax revenue privately... Who can handle it?
"Your Majesty, the Ruzhou officials just made a false report, just ask them to correct it..."
Han Qi wanted to complain to Sima Guang, why would you raise taxes if you have nothing to do? The officials were on the right track again.
If we really want to pursue the case, we will not just deal with the affairs of Ruzhou government officials, but it will also help the momentum of the implementation of the Green Seed Law.
Therefore, we have to calm down the official's anger, and it is best to reduce major issues to minor ones.
"Does Prime Minister Han think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill? I just think this is just a mistake by Ruzhou, and I don't need to go on the line, right?"
"Xiangong Ouyang, what is the yield per mu of cultivated land in the country?"
Zhao Xi turned around and suddenly asked Ouyang Xiu this.
"When I am appointed to Chuzhou, the weather is good and the rain is favorable, and the yield per mu is two to three stones..."
This can't deceive people, and Ouyang Xiu can't do anything to deceive people. It's just seeking truth from facts. Besides, the form on the wall has Chuzhou...
"Prime Minister Han..."
"Qin Feng, the yield per mu in Yan is more than one stone. In Hebei, Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road can produce up to two or three stone in good years."
Han Qi didn't hide anything, it was whatever it was.
Nowadays, regarding the Ruzhou incident, only mistakes can be used as excuses. As for sophistry? He has never thought about it, and it will not be useful.
"Prefectures and counties face the people directly. Let's not say that serving as an official will benefit one party. Let's just say that if a monk rings a bell every day, he must ring the bell."
"The court is responsible for decision-making, and the local government is responsible for execution. The court's decision-making comes from the local area and is based on the local area. That is, the data from each state determines the direction of the court's decision-making."
"Isn't this far-fetched? As a king, he has deceived me. You can let me go. If the political minister is deceived by him, you can let it go if you don't care. But his deception will affect the decision-making of the court and thus the country.
Wan Limin. Who has the right to let him go?"
"Nowadays, because of the Qingmiao method, the ministers and servants in the court have been arguing for many days. Some people in the same age have turned against each other, some friends have turned against each other, some have even become inseparable, and people of the same clan are not the same. Why are everyone like this?"
"It's so that the implementation of the Young Crops Law will not harm the country and the people. What have they done in Ruzhou? Such deception may have an impact. Do you still have the idea of letting them go?"
It can be regarded as Akatsuki's emotion and reason. I'm afraid everyone present feels the same way, right?
A green seedling law disrupted the entire court. Originally, the resentment was directed at Wang Jiefu, but now it is a matter of discussion in the court.
Nowadays, the official temperament has no possibility of giving up at will.
In other words, no matter what, the court had to make a decision, and the whole court was busy because of this green seedling method.
What officials say is not an exaggeration.
"I'm not harsh. Let's send someone to investigate. If the number of cultivated fields is correct, then let all relevant personnel in Ruzhou and its counties work together to make up for the two-tax income of this number of cultivated fields."
"There is no need to calculate the yield of 20 to 3 jin per mu on Jingxi Road. Instead, use the average of all prefectures and counties this time to make up the tax revenue with an output of 120 jin per mu."
"If they collectively cheat and conceal the report this time, the punishment will be the same. They will also be based on the average yield per mu reported by the states, prefectures, and counties this time, based on the cultivated land reported by Ruzhou, and make up for the two-year annual yield."
Tax in!"
"I am kind enough, so please stop trying to persuade me. I don't believe you are not angry. Please don't be affected by certain emotions. This is government affairs, not a place to resolve personal grievances!"
He was indeed very merciful. He was not punished, exiled, or even demoted.
