Chapter 246 (1)
The reason why Zhao Shenqiao wanted to catch the cheating case in the scientific examination was also inspired.The old man himself is the examiner, and there are always a few people who don't have eyes and don't know what Mr. Zhao is like, and want to go through the back door.After the friendly reminders from these guys, Mr. Zhao suddenly realized: How come there are people like you!Participate!

As I said before, Mr. Zhao's ginseng has never been targeted indiscriminately, and he has to go through serious investigation.Since the exam is conducted across the country, even if Mr. Zhao has the favorable resource of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it will take time to check everything.So, when Mr. Zhao adjusts the situation, let us turn our eyes back.

The accounts of the Li family were audited, and it was Cao Yin and Yunxuan who were going to be upset.Yinfeng just waited to collect the money, and in terms of face, everyone had to say that he was kind.Even the Concubine Mi, who was hindering Li Xu's cultivation, had nothing to say. Of course, this was also due to You Yunxi's blocking of the news.

In August, one of the more important itineraries on Yinreng's schedule was to send away the Mongolian tribes who came to the court.It can be predicted that the emperor will not tour outside the Great Wall in the past two years, and even if he travels, he must at least wait until he is filial piety.If the emperor doesn't leave Beijing, the Mongolian tribes will come to Beijing, all for the purpose of connecting with each other.

After participating in the anniversary festival, those who are farther away will leave earlier, and those who are closer will stay in Beijing for a while. Anyway, the travel expenses this time can be reimbursed.There are also a few special cases, such as Princess Rongxian, etc. Those who are far away and close to each other said that they all stayed in Beijing for a few more days.

Yunyu was sent to the Lifan Academy as an errand, and he was the one who made the report: "Princess Kejing will leave tomorrow to return to Qidi. The rewards are as follows: [-] bolts of palace satin, [-] bolts of river silk... tribute Ten catties of tea...five pairs of saddle horses...satin cloth...a thousand taels of silver."

These are all based on established rules, there is nothing to be picky about, but strictly speaking, Princess Kejing is already at the level of "Eldest Princess", which is a little bit more than before.Yinfeng expressed his acquiescence in such a treatment, but he wanted to ask another question: "How much money did Mongolia spend in entering the dynasty?"

Li Fanyuan didn't have much money, and the expenses were also paid from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.King Yong twitched the corners of his mouth, he was a little bit pained: "Mongolian princes, princes, and auspicious people came in complete sets, and their entourages in Beijing are under the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and those who are as few as a few hundred taels and those who are more are even rewarded." It can be tens of thousands." Let them go!In the past, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs shared the travel expenses for Shengjia. The Mongolians brought their own dry food and received rewards at most. Now that his family is asked to pay, which is more than in previous years, he feels distressed and distressed. .

The fifth and twelfth elders in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sympathized with the fourth brother, and they were not unlucky: This year, Sheng Jia will not travel, so much money and thought will be saved for us!

Yinreng took a look at his younger brothers, especially the old twelve, and felt a little sad again.The old twelve represents a group of people. The younger brothers who lived in the Forbidden City from the old nine onwards, they already have nobles, mansions, lands, and salaries. Because Yinfeng left them to keep their filial piety, the living expenses of the family include the kitchen aunt’s The salary was still paid by Yinfeng to Bao Yuan'er.

The anniversary is over, do you want to let them go out?If he doesn't let go, he will raise this string of younger brothers for another two years.When he was released, he remembered the old Shisan who was sent to guard the mausoleum.Also, the fifteenth child has already married, the sixteenth child would have married a wife by now if it wasn't because of the funeral, and the seventeenth child is too old.These three eyes looked at the age of dividing the government again... These are all assistant leaders and money!

The second elder brother and the fourth younger brother are a pair of difficult brothers and sisters.Yinfeng said hastily: "Understood." It means that this headache topic should not be discussed any further.He looked at his younger brothers: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing carefully."

Yunqi and Yunxuan agreed together.

"What are Old Nine and Old Ten doing?"

The ninth elder brother is one who has not yet received an errand, and the tenth elder brother was thrown to the Ministry of Industry. Recently, there are no major projects to be done. The country is short of money, and there are almost no Nengxing engineering projects.

Yunyu is busy making money, of course, to make money for his own pocket, but he can't say clearly: "When I have nothing to do, I just read books (account books), go out for a walk (inspect the store), it is clean (no one dares to talk back) )."

Yun'e bowed and said: "With the governor of Hedao here, the Ministry of Works is not very busy. The younger brother also just took over this job, and it happened that there were not many things to do, so he learned how to get started, so that he would not be in a hurry when there were many things to do in the future. "

Ami tofu, this is very good, very good!Yinfeng said: "That's good. Princess Kejing returns to Qidi, you go and see her off." You guys are honest, and I feel relieved. It just so happens that I can clean up the tax reform.

"Whoo."

At the end of this meeting, Yinreng left behind his fourth brother, and it was said that the great scholars Ma Qi, Li Guangdi, and Shi Shilun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came to discuss one thing: reforming the tax system.

There were four relatively large tax system reforms in ancient Chinese history. The first was the abandoned well fields during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. That time lasted for a long time, and it was carried out in different vassal states. One hundred years was used as the time unit. It will not be discussed in detail here.

The remaining three times took place in what is customarily called the feudal era.One was the "Two Taxes Law" promoted by Prime Minister Yang Yan in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.But one fact that everyone knows is that the scriptures are all good scriptures, and if you ask the crooked monk to recite them, you may not know what they are like.The reforms were good and effective at the beginning, but over time, all kinds of exorbitant taxes came out again.

The second is Zhang Juzheng's reform in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the "One Whip Method", and the content is also very complicated.According to it, it doesn't matter whether you are serving in the military or paying things, except for the rice, wheat and other strategic materials that should be paid, everything else will be paid.

The other time is the "dividing into an acre" that they are discussing now.This is actually another innovation based on the one-whip method.

Frankly speaking, it is impossible not to change.In the current form, it is exaggerated to say that the flames of war are everywhere, but the truth is that people rebel every year. This cannot be explained by natural disasters and poor harvests.There are problems with the administration of officials, and there are also problems with the system.If you don't admit it, lie to yourself and others by singing "Close your eyes and it's dark."

The other ones were a little farther away, either because the brothers from ethnic minorities had different opinions or there were people fooling around in places like Fujian.Now there is another group of rioters, who are originally from Taiyuan, Shanxi. If you look at the map, you will find how close this place is to the capital.Not only did they emerge, but they also ran around and swept through Shaanxi, Huguang, and Yunnan-Guizhou all the way.It can be seen that the morals of the world are somewhat corrupted, no matter whether it is dead or not.

Yinfeng opened the door and said straight to the point: "I use Zhao Shenqiao for the administration of the Qing officials. However, there are many things in the world, and they cannot be changed without the administration of the Qing officials. Since the founding of the country, the annexation has increased and the population has increased. If you are cautious, you will be a refugee and a bandit." The annexation was serious, and the common people had no land to grow, and if they couldn't survive, they had to become bandits.

Shi Shilun is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After checking the deficit for a long time, his superiors were stunned and didn't want to make a move. He held his breath and almost didn't write a note to expose the matter.Listening to Yinfeng's words now, it meant to lighten the burden on the masses of the people. Shi Shilun let out a sigh of relief and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, people's livelihood is difficult nowadays..."

Kangxi had a pertinent evaluation of Shi Shilun: "His conduct is honest, but he is paranoid when things happen. When the people sue the students, he will protect the people. When the students sue the gentry, he will protect the students... For example, Shi Shilun, who entrusts The matter of money and grain is suitable for the ears." In short, if you are sidelined, whoever is poor will help you.

Good good good good.

Shi Shilun's proposal is: You should first waive the rent and tax they owe, so they will not be able to pay the "people lose their land, how can they pay the silver?" They lost their jobs, so he robbed you of the money?No, you are a good emperor.By the way, you have to clean up those annexed masters and tell them to return the annexed land...

The first one is easy to handle, and Yinreng himself knows it, so he readily agrees.That's not the case in the second half, who wants to spit it out after swallowing it?Some landlords took it by chance, but others bought the land with real money, so they just took it away?The emperor's reign was also coming to an end.Take a look at Wang Mang's tragedy. Even if there is no privilege, mergers are an objective law of economic development, and those who violate the law will always be beheaded by the law.

But it won't work if it doesn't change. King Yong said: "We can't always rely on rent-free taxes to calm the troubles. If the exemption continues, the treasury should be empty." Still have to find a way to collect taxes.

Ma Qi looked left and right, expressing his support for King Yong.

Yinfeng can't make a decision right away. We must know that the motherland has a vast territory and the situation in each region varies greatly.Generally speaking, this is the case, but when it comes to specific places, this policy may not be applicable.

Reform is not about playing dungeons in online games, even if the group is destroyed, it should only be learned from experience and lessons, and then form a group to brush the boss after the game.If something goes wrong in the reform, the government might step down. Although Wang Mang's lesson is far away, everyone still remembers that Wang Anshi is also a failure of reform, so we must not be careless.

Yinrong's first order was: "Kuoyin."

This is a historical term. Due to feudal privileges and other reasons, families with fame and titles can have privileges of varying sizes according to their respective ranks, including certain fields and family members who do not need to pay taxes.Someone who takes advantage of this loophole may put the land under the name of an official in order to exempt from tax.Or use privileges, declare falsely, report [-] mu of land as [-] mu, and evade tax on the [-] mu of land, which is "hidden".The same is true for the population, um, there is still a poll tax these days.

When the government's finances reach the point where it can't afford it, there are two ways to go without reform: one is to increase taxes, and the other is to cover it up.Immediately increasing taxes will force the government to force the people to rebel (already there are signs), so it has to go hand in hand with the reform.

How else can you say that the level of leadership is high? It has been almost 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. If you say that there is no hidden property underneath, you really wouldn't believe it.What is the basis for formulating tax rules?It is a grasp of the national economic situation.You double the tax rate, and people reduce the declared property to one-tenth, and you still can't get any money.

As an observer, Li Guangdi came up with another idea: Don't say it's a hidden thing, just say it's the household registration statistics.Because there are refugees now, the government must strengthen control and protect everyone's personal and property safety. You report it, and the state protects you.If you don't report the truth, we don't care if you are robbed.

Ami tofu, this old one is too bad!
It can be seen that the emperor wants to be serious (not moving anymore), and everyone in the household department is overjoyed.King Yong came up with another trick in his heart: the arable land in a place has been developed almost by now, and everyone knows the size of the country, subtract the reported area from the total area, and if there is any surplus, hey-hey……

[I won't talk about this idea, I'll see who among you is fooling me, I'll shoot you to death! ]
The reform has come to an end, and the next step is to discuss the specific tax exemption rules.

Before the meeting ended, Yinfeng repeatedly told all the participants: "I will only talk about this matter with a few of you, don't say anything." What needs to be explained is that all the participants are from the privileged class. : At their position, they no longer need to hide their family property, and the New Deal is actually harmless to them.

—

Everyone resigned, leaving Yinfeng alone to worry.This year, I had to exempt a lot of taxes (because I couldn’t collect them). The total amount of these taxes is about 1000 million taels. If the reform is not implemented, so much will be exempted every year in the future. Yinfeng feels that he must have gray hair.

White hair must grow, not for this thing but for that thing.

Mr. Zhao Shenqiao, who is investigating the malpractice case in the examination room, also joined Dai Mingshi, editor of the Imperial Academy, in his spare time, saying that he was arrogant and uttered wild words.The prison of writing scratches people's hearts, and Yinfeng ordered the lower part to discuss it.

After a wave of unrest, another wave rose again. In October, another major event happened.The incident happened after the Empress Dowager's birthday festival. Yinreng received a notebook from Zuo Shifan, the chief examiner of the Jiangnan provincial examination.

Hongdan was by his side, even stepped forward to help him: "Ama!" You must know that Yinfeng is not yet forty, this is definitely not a small matter.

Yinfeng regained his composure, pushed his son away, and asked Li Guangdi, "What do you think?" His voice was gritted.This made Hongdan feel anxious: what happened?
Yinfeng knocked hard on the kang table, Hongdan had no choice but to say: "Khan Ama calm down."

Yinreng remembered that Hongdan hadn't read the scriptures yet, and didn't know the whole story, so he threw the scriptures to him: "Look for yourself." As a new king, what he wants is to look good and to get a good start.Dai Heng was included in the exam not only because he admired Dai Heng's cultural level, nor because he liked Dai Heng's father, but because Dai Heng had real talents and real learning.Dai Heng gave him a long face, but the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in cultural relics, has a scandal in the examination room!

Hongdan glanced at the ten lines, and roughly scanned Zuo Shifan's papers. The general idea was: I work very seriously, and I am also a person who records by paper, but it is strange that after the results were announced on the list, the students did not buy it. "Wu Mi, recommended by Wang Yueyu, the county magistrate of Jurong County, and Cheng Guangkui, recommended by Fang Ming, the county magistrate of Shanyang County, are people who don't understand literature." , or open up joints with the house officer.I am responsible, I admit it, but now you should bring these two goods to Beijing to check the quality.If the quality passes the test, there is also an explanation, and if it fails, how should it be punished?

Zuo Shifan's attitude was serious, and he reported it at the first time, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was good.

These are for a fart!Things have happened, the face has been slapped, and no more rubbing will work.

Seeing that Hongdan had finished scanning the papers, Li Guangdi said slowly, "Zuo Shifan may not know about it, and the rest of the examiners may not. In any case, we must first give the scholars an explanation, otherwise the matter will boil over. Jiangnan scholars who have been appeased by the court for decades Son..." It's not easy to deal with.

Yinfeng said: "Let's adjust their papers first and have a look." The exams are more ruthless than later generations, because someone specially copied them to prevent candidates and examiners from colluding and tampering with the papers.What Yinreng wants to adjust is the original volume.

It should be said that this kind of handling is more sensible, and it really can't hold back the development of the situation that is too appalling.

Zhang Boxing, the governor of Jiangsu, wrote that there was a big mess after the publication of the Jiangnan Wenwei list this year, and the matter was too big to hide.

After Jiangnan published the list, all the scholars were blown up when they saw the list. In layman's terms: People who can pass the Olympic five-ring flag (even eat five duck eggs) in the math test will be admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University.Who will believe that there is nothing tricky?
"That Wu Bi is from my hometown. I have read his articles. It's a piece of shit. He's even on the list?! His family is rich, so he must have bribed the examiner." After the news broke, the crowd became furious. .Everyone has worked so hard to read books for so many years, and your family is rich, so just erase our decades of hard work?
No reason!On September 24, hundreds of students carried the statue of the God of Wealth to the entrance hall, shouting about the shady admissions.It implies that you have collected money and done bad things.The education system at this moment is even worse than 300 years later. After more than 300 years, if you fail the exam, you will be unemployed after graduation, and you can start your own business. Now you can only study and become an official. Please refer to Classmate Fan Jin.

This time things got bigger.

There is no need for Zhao Shenqiao to impeach, Mr. Zhao only needs to report his own experience to the emperor truthfully.How filial the people below are, why I didn't accept it, and so on. I also said that I was investigating, but there is no evidence yet.Yinfeng ordered: go and investigate!

Still the same sentence, you make the emperor lose face, and the emperor makes you lose head!
