Daming: Teach the prince about dragon slaying skills at the beginning

This has led to the fact that the court will never have enough money to support more officials, and if the court does not have a sufficient number of bureaucrats to support it, then it is just a dream to talk about building a local tax supervision system.

"However, in the future, equal emphasis will be placed on scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants. After paying attention to commercial taxes and popularizing potato planting, the fiscal revenue of the imperial court will inevitably increase significantly."

"At that time, the imperial court will be able to support more officials, and then set up a special central tax supervision department. Every year when the tax is collected, the central tax supervision department will send personnel from the central tax supervision department to visit local counties and towns to check the tax collection situation of various places."

"If there is any violation, then we will investigate and deal with it according to law."

"In this way, it can at least ensure that those local magistrates and subordinate officials will not dare to over-collect land taxes arbitrarily."

"After all, none of them know whether the people from the Central Taxation Supervision Department sent by the imperial court are secretly watching them."

"At the same time, the hierarchical division of local administrative regions also needs to be completely unified."

"Either choose the four-level local administrative hierarchy system of province, government, state, and county, or choose the three-level local administrative hierarchy system of province, state, and county, and strictly allocate the fiscal and taxation responsibilities of local administration at all levels."

"Only when the fiscal and taxation responsibilities of local administrations at all levels are clear, then it is not easy to get confused about fiscal and taxation."

Hearing the method proposed by Yan Changqing to form the [Central Taxation Supervision Department], Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about the feasibility of this method.

Theoretically speaking, the most fundamental reason why the imperial court collected excessive land taxes from local magistrates and subordinate officials was that the imperial court did not have enough control over the localities, and did not know the information about the collection of local land taxes.

If the Central Tax Supervision Department is established, then the personnel of the Central Tax Supervision Department can be directly sent to the local front-line taxation sites to personally monitor the actual tax collection of the local county magistrates.

In this way, even if the local county magistrates and subordinate officials over-collect land taxes, the central court will be able to know in time and deal with them immediately.

The only problem is that if you want to establish a central tax supervision department that can cover all counties and even towns across the country, you need at least thousands of people to do it.

And these thousands of members of the Central Taxation Supervision Department must have official status and be supported by the imperial court.

Moreover, this kind of official status can't be too low, at least one must have an official status of eighth to seventh rank, otherwise, how can it overwhelm those local county magistrates who are of ninth rank.

However, the sudden support of thousands of officials from the eighth rank to the seventh rank is also a huge pressure on the court's finances.

After all, although Yan Changqing said that "in the future, equal emphasis will be placed on scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants. After the imperial court pays good attention to business taxes and popularizes potato planting, the imperial court's fiscal revenue will increase significantly."

But how much the imperial court's finances will increase, it is impossible for Yan Changqing to answer in a truly unpredictable way.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was necessary to establish the Central Tax Supervision Department, but on the other hand, he still felt that this part of the expenditure was still too large.

The so-called "I want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass", is talking about Zhu Yuanzhang.

[Perhaps, we can just establish a central tax supervision department with 500 to [-] people, which only needs to cover one-fifth to two-fifths of the area of ​​Daming. 】

[Then said to the outside world that the imperial court sent personnel from the Central Taxation Supervision Department to monitor the actual collection of land taxes all over the world. 】

[But how many people will be dispatched, and where will they go to monitor the actual situation of tax collection, let’s not say! ! ! 】

[We can ask the staff of the Tax Supervision Department to monitor the local tax collection situation in the north this year, and let the staff of the Tax Supervision Department monitor the local tax collection situation in the south next year. 】

[Even though it is impossible to know the actual tax collection situation in various parts of Daming at the same time, after the personnel of the Tax Supervision Department arrives in the next year, they can casually ask the people about the actual tax collection amount of the previous year. 】

[Then naturally, you will be able to know the actual collection of local taxes in the previous year. If there is an over-collection situation at that time, then it is still necessary to investigate and deal with it. 】

[In this way, it can not only save the court's expenses, but also play a role in actual tax collection and supervision! ! ! 】

In his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of a compromise method that had the best of both worlds.

And there is really nothing wrong with this method.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking, the biggest disadvantage is that there will be a delay in knowing the actual tax situation in some places.

But this delay is not unknown, it may be one or two years later, or three to five years longer, and eventually the personnel of the Central Taxation Supervision Department will still inspect all parts of Daming in turn.

At that time, the actual tax collection situation of local magistrates and subordinate officials in the past three to five years will still be checked by the personnel of the Central Taxation Supervision Department.

As long as the responsibility is seriously pursued afterwards and the losses of the common people are compensated, then there will be no major problems.

Moreover, this "incomplete" supervision method has another advantage that Zhu Yuanzhang likes very much.

That's Fishing Law Enforcement! ! !

After the establishment of the Central Taxation Supervision Department, local county magistrates and subordinate officials all over the world will definitely not dare to over-collect land taxes in a short period of time.

But after one or two years, or three or two years have passed, the local county magistrate and subordinate officials will definitely not be able to resist trying the law again.

At that time, if the local county magistrate and subordinate officials find that they have collected excessive land taxes again and have not been monitored by the Central Tax Supervision Department, they will definitely be lucky.

Then you will feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is scaring them, and then you will over-collect land taxes more presumptuously.

Finally, when the Central Taxation Supervision Department inspected them in turn, they reported to Zhu Yuanzhang about their excessive collection of land taxes.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang had a reason to ransack their families and exterminate their families to warn the local county magistrates and subordinates all over the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang is well aware of the essential and most important role of the Central Taxation Supervision Department.

Then it is to warn the local county magistrates and subordinate officials not to act recklessly and collect excessive land taxes from the people; secondly, it is to really monitor the collection of taxes by the local county magistrates and subordinate officials.

And if you want to always serve as a warning to the local county magistrates, then the best way is to use a few local county magistrates from time to time to ransack their homes and exterminate their families as a warning.

But for no reason, even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do more things like taking local county magistrates and subordinate officials to ransack the family and exterminate the family.

So at this time, he needs to deliberately let them go and give them a chance to make mistakes, so that he will have a suitable reason to do it.

At that time, we will be able to gain a wave of popular support and strengthen the credibility of the imperial court again by means of the behavior of copying the families of those local magistrates and subordinate officials, and then compensating the losses of the common people! ! !

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is killing two birds with one stone! ! !

Chapter 195: Three types of corrupt officials, each group of wooing, disintegrating, and suppressing 【Please subscribe, please order in full】

After finishing talking about the Central Taxation Supervision Department, Yan Changqing paused for a moment, leaving time for Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Yan, Zhu Di and other princes to think.

After a while, Yan Changqing continued:

"The fundamental reason for the excessive collection of land taxes by the local magistrates and subordinates is that the local county magistrates and subordinates rely on the sky high and the emperor is far away, and the central court is not clear about the local tax situation, so they dare to arbitrarily over-collect the common people's land taxes."

"The solution to this root cause is the establishment of the Central Taxation Supervision Department just mentioned, strengthening the supervision of the collection of land taxes by local magistrates and subordinates, and regulating the collection of land taxes by local county magistrates and subordinates. This is the solution to this problem. The fundamental way."

"But at the same time, we must also pay attention to and solve the direct reasons that lead to the excessive collection of land taxes by local magistrates and subordinate staff."

"That's the official's salary, which is relatively 'insufficient'!"

"So it is also necessary to increase the salaries of officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally quite satisfied with the system of the Central Taxation Supervision Department proposed by Yan Changqing, immediately became unswerving after hearing Yan Changqing said that he would increase the salaries of officials.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yan Changqing slightly dissatisfied and said:

"You should know that high salaries can't raise honesty, it will only raise more and more corrupt officials, and it will only change the target of officials' oppression from the common people to the court!!!"

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was very resistant to raising the salary of officials.

In his view, no matter whether it is a high salary or a low salary, in the end officials will take bribes and break the law.

That being the case, why should officials be given high salaries? ! !

If he gave these officials high salaries on the other hand, then those officials would continue to take bribes and break the law.

So wouldn't it be that while wasting the high salary he gave, he also slapped him in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang? ! !

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it is better to continue to maintain the current salary. Anyway, as long as those officials live a simple life, do not compare themselves extravagantly and wastefully, and participate less in gatherings and human relations.

Then those salaries must be able to support his family.

As for those officials who were corrupt and broke the law, if they caught one, they would just kill one and it would be over.

As he said before, if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of corrupt officials, then he will kill hundreds of thousands or millions of corrupt officials. For him, there is no need to hesitate or consider these things.

Yan Changqing glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly, sighed slightly and said:

"Controlling corruption by killing cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

"If we want to solve the problem of official corruption, then we must know why officials are corrupt?!"

"According to the reasons for official corruption, I roughly divide corrupt officials into three categories."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes immediately became interested.

This is the first time they have heard that there are different types of official corruption.

"The first type of corrupt officials are those corrupt officials who in His Majesty's eyes deceive the imperial court and exploit the people, only want to harm the country and exploit the people for their own benefit."

"This kind of corrupt officials, whether they are rich or not, they want to get richer."

"In essence, their corruption is only to satisfy their own selfish desires, so they will not take into account the interests of the court, let alone the interests of the people."

"They just want to turn the interests of the court and the people into their own interests!!!"

"These officials are basically the country's biggest corrupt officials, the real corrupt officials!"

"So this kind of corrupt officials can be killed!! They should be killed too!!!"

Yan Changqing spoke lightly about the first type of corrupt officials.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all nodded. This kind of corrupt officials should indeed be killed!

"The second type of corrupt officials is the most common and the most corrupt officials."

"That is corrupt officials who hope that through being an official, they can make themselves, their families, and even their clans have a better life."

"Corrupt officials of this kind usually have a poor family background, or their social status is not too high to be respected by others."

"That's why I thought about changing all this by becoming an official."

"Essentially, if being an official can really satisfy their wishes."

"For example, to make their families richer, or to make them more respectable, etc."

"Then these officials are not going to embezzle."

"However, when these officials found out that being an official was not what they had thought before, they could make their families richer and their social status more respectable."

"Then under the huge gap between inner expectations and actual results, these officials are likely to start to embezzle in order to meet their original expectations."

"Compared with the first type of corrupt officials, this type of corrupt officials is not considered the biggest corruption in the country. It can be said that they are corrupt in the country. They are for themselves but not completely for themselves."

Inner skirt: ⒉⒉0⑤23①4⒐

"Before the imperial court fails to meet their expectations of being an official, they will unprincipledly take bribes and embezzle the interests of the country and the people, so as to meet their original expectations of being an official as much as possible."

"But when they have corrupted and accepted bribes to a certain extent, they have satisfied their expectations of being officials."

"Then they will stop taking bribes and encroaching on the interests of the country and the people, and turn to conscientiously and responsibly do what an official should do."

"So this kind of corrupt officials has become the target of our differentiation, so as to prevent them from degenerating and becoming one of the corrupt officials because of the gap between their original dream of becoming an official and the reality."

..... 0 0

After listening to Yan Changqing's second type of corrupt officials, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan, Zhu Di and other princes all looked thoughtful on their faces.

Because "under the huge gap brought about by the comparison between inner expectations and actual results, the gap between the original dream of becoming an official and the reality is too large, and thus he became a member of corrupt officials."

Such a statement is quite new to Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes.

And savoring it carefully, it seems that there is indeed some truth in these words! ! !

"The third type of corrupt officials are relatively rare, but they do exist now.

"That's the kind where the whole family really can't survive without corruption and bribery."

"For officials who are corrupt and accept bribes, if they have a choice, they are definitely not willing to choose to accept bribes."

"But even if there is no choice, when these officials take bribes, they often only choose to take bribes until they can keep their family alive, and then stop."

"This kind of corrupt officials is the petty corruption of the country, and they are also the targets we should win over and win over."

"For these three types of corrupt officials, only when one group is recruited, one group is divided, and one group is finally eliminated, can the problem of official corruption and bribery be truly resolved."
