Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Killing is nothing more than physical destruction, and killing is nothing more than killing the instigator of the problem as quickly as possible.

But the real problem is actually the rotten government system and atmosphere.

The north house is useless, but if a problem is found, there is an excuse to continue to check other houses!

Not to mention the military registration room, there must be something wrong after a check.

If there is a problem, it is right, and if there is a problem, there is an excuse to merge it with the Military and Political Yuan.

This is how the old and the new are played.

Reform is not a one-size-fits-all reform. Reform must be carried out step by step and rectified step by step, and most people cannot find an excuse to oppose it.

Back then, Wang Anshi acted too hastily, a group of people opposed it, and then it turned into a dispute of sentiments, and then it turned into a dispute between parties, which was extremely harmful.

When Mo Cho heard Gao Qiu's words, he immediately stood up again.

After all, Mo Chou has lost his morals a long time ago, he just licks a dog.

He said: "Your Majesty, I think what Gao Taiwei said is reasonable, and I really should investigate it carefully. This matter is related to the administration of officials, and the Ministry of Officials is also duty-bound. I am willing to participate in it!"

At this time, the admonisher Li Zhuo who saw the wind and the rudder said: "Your Majesty, what Gao Taiwei said is very true, and should be strictly investigated."

Seeing that the situation has come to this, the rest of the people hurriedly said: "Strictly investigate!"

"Okay, all the successor ministers have said so, and I will follow the wishes of the ministers. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the three jurisprudence will conduct a joint trial, and I will check the north room of the Privy Council and the military registration room for me."

Qin Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Han Xiaozhou, Minister of Dali Temple, and Xu Han, a doctor of imperial history, came out: "Your minister waits for the order!"

The joint trial of the three law departments is extremely strict. The investigation is mainly carried out by the Dali Temple, the reexamination by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the supervision system process by the Yushitai.

"Gao Qiu."

"Chen is here!"

"You cooperate with Dali Temple to handle the case!"

"Yes!"

"Check it out for me!"

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ning turned around and left the Chui Gong Hall.

This matter is just the beginning, and it is obvious that they will take advantage of this gap to shake the Privy Council a few times, and then transfer the military power.

After all, the military governor's office that supervises the army is only under the Military Political Council. If the other military administrations from all over the country are gradually transferred, the military supervision will basically be deterrent.

Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Liu Su were clearly arranged that day, and they were stabbed at the execution ground.

I heard that before he died, he was still cursing Huang Qianshan.

Zhao Ning's killing did not follow the traditional rules at all, and the efficiency was so high that it was staggering.

Of course, the link of copying the house is indispensable.

With regard to the ransacking of the house recently, many people in the Imperial City Division had their legs broken.

Some people also reported that Huangcheng Si Banzhi was enriching his own pockets inside, and the two sides choked each other, and a lot of Huangcheng Si Banzhi were arrested because of this.

But this is just a small episode, the Military and Political Yuan has taken power has become the general trend.

Take the north room and the military registration room first.

On the tenth day of May, the Military and Political Council released a list of meritorious service in Hebei and Hedong at that time, as well as rewards for military meritorious service.

These are naturally signed and sealed by His Majesty the Emperor.

After Zhao Ye and others were scolded in the newspaper headlines for several days, they ushered in heroes who had made great military exploits.

Stories from famous generals to mid-level officers to grassroots soldiers will occupy a place in newspaper pages for a long time to come.

Zhao Ning also took the opportunity to promote a group of newcomers on a large scale.

For example, Yue Fei, bestowed the champion general, the third rank.

He was immediately recalled to the capital and appointed to important official positions.

This time, we must take the opportunity to clean up the chaotic military and political affairs, clarify the military and political affairs, and arrange people clearly.

For another example, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Liu Qi were promoted and rewarded, and even Zhang Jun was rewarded.

Chapter 185 This Is Just Playing With Me! (third change)

While discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, he was also making large-scale preparations for the Martyrs' Shrine.

Pensions from various places are also being transferred and distributed one after another.

There are many war dead in Shaanxi, and hundreds of thousands of families are waiting for the pension plan. This is a long process, and it is also a matter that needs to be completed carefully.

Zhao Ning sent a secret letter to Zhang Jun, asking him to complete the distribution of all pensions in Shaanxi this year.

Pensions are the most important part of the court's reorganization of the military and political system, and there must be no mistakes.

The imperial court made repeated orders to respect the soldiers, and the emperor personally encouraged everyone many times, and talked closely, and even placed the Martyr's Shrine near the Guozijian.

Superficial effort is sufficient, and it also guides the public to gradually downplay discrimination against soldiers.

As for the insulting practice of tattooing, it was completely abolished.

Mental recognition is indispensable, but practical encouragement is also indispensable.

This pension is practical encouragement.

It is also a commitment to the war dead and seriously injured.

It is the key to truly earning trust.

The soldiers used to be lazy, and the court condoned it.

Now this atmosphere has to be changed, the court must be strict, the court must do what it says, and the soldiers must also show a serious attitude.

The matter of pensions is being promoted by the Military and Political Council and the Privy Council respectively.

Money is definitely enough.

On May [-]th, Zhao Ding returned to Beijing from Huainan.

Zhao Ding gave Zhao Guanjia a number, the cash income of Lianghuai last year was 500 million guan, which can be regarded as slowly recovering.

As for agricultural tax revenue, the total grain revenue of the Lianghuai River and Huaihe River last year was 120 million shi, which was also more than the previous year.

But this number is obviously cheating your emperor Lao Tzu.

There are 4 million mu of fertile land in Lianghuai, with an average annual output of 4 shi per mu, and a total annual output of [-] million shi.

The agricultural tax is one out of ten, and 4 million shi can be extracted from 4000 million shi. If the consumption on the road is 40%, then 2400 million shi can be handed over.

But in fact, the official paper fields of the Lianghuai River in the Song Dynasty were only 5000 million mu, half less.

Even if it is reduced by half, you can still draw 1200 million stones.

Even if some people are unwilling to pay grain and use it as a tax deduction, and half of the people use it as a tax deduction, there should be 600 million shi, but now it is only 120 million shi.

This is unreasonable.

What about taxes and food?

Where did you go?

You can tell where you've been with your toenails!

Zhao Ding said in a more solemn tone: "I'm afraid the officials are hiding the property, and there are many tax evaders!"

Isn't this the same as the Tianhuang nobles on Gyeonggi Road?

On the surface, none of them pay agricultural tax, and no one cares about their land property.

When the Transshipment Office needs to collect taxes, they go to honest small landlords and low households to collect them.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that in the Ming Dynasty, there were about 8 million mu of land, and each mu of land harvested 4.01 catties, and a total of about 2673 million stones were harvested a year.

The agricultural tax regulations on paper in the Ming Dynasty were very low.

In the Song Dynasty, the agricultural tax was one out of ten, and the yield per mu was 2.5 shi, that is, 300 catties, and 30 catties per mu. The field per mu was more than 7 times that of the Ming Dynasty, but a total of only 3200 million shi could be collected.

Is this reasonable?

This is fucking playing with me!

Calculated according to the actual land production of about 7.6 million mu in the Song Dynasty, each mu is 30 catties, and a total of 228 billion catties of grain is collected, which is 1.9 million stones.

In some places, the distance is far away, and the consumption and entitlement are converted at 50%, so there is still 9500 million shi of grain tax revenue.

3200 million stones, 9500 million stones away from 6300 million stones!

Where did the 6300 million stone go?

After reading the bill, Zhao Ning said, "Who is hiding the property, and who is evading taxes?"

Zhao Ding thought for a moment, then said: "Most of the people who concealed the land property were households and official land, and some of them sold the land to avoid tax and became tenants on their own initiative."

"What do you mean by selling the field and becoming a tenant on your own initiative?"

"In some places, big households conceal their land properties. Through their connections, even if they increase the number of fields, they don't have to pay more taxes. Some people sell their fields to avoid taxes."

"Will the people be willing to sell the fields?"

Zhao Ding said: "Yes, this is what I found out during my field trip to the people this time. The taxation of the people is beyond imagination. Some people can't afford it. They would rather be tenants without land than own land. "

Zhao Ning fell into deep thought.

The new agricultural policy of equal land lease is to break the pattern of land mergers.

This is a battle for food bargaining power.

Land is too concentrated, resources are in the hands of big landlords and nobles, and the power of grain pricing is in the hands of these people.

It is Zhao Ning's goal to break land mergers, ease social conflicts, provide sufficient food for the front lines, and save court expenses.

A considerable part of the current food supply is bought by the imperial court with money, and a part is exchanged into China and France.

But the situation at this time was true. Free farmers were willing to sell their land to big landlords and nobles, and committed themselves to becoming landless tenants.

Why?

There is a big problem with the agricultural tax system and the way of administrative tax collection!

Zhao Ning said, "What's your suggestion?"

Zhao Ding pondered for a moment, then said: "The fundamental reason for the many sly households is that regardless of official households, households with status have tax exemption rights, so some small landlords and farmers are willing to sell their land to them and become their tenants, thus To achieve the purpose of self-tax exemption."

"If you want to get rid of this situation, you must abolish the tax-free privileges of official households and family households, and strictly investigate the hidden properties. It's just..."

Zhao Ning frowned slightly and said, "Just what?"

Zhao Ding said: "Back then, Wang Jiefu thought this way, so he came up with a new law and sent people to measure the fields, but because of too much resistance, he gave up halfway."

Zhao Ning nodded. This is a matter that harms the interests of the world's official households and powerful households. It is digging out the lifelines of the landlords and gentlemen. It's no wonder they don't work hard.

But now there are so many blood-sucking insects crawling on the land of the Song Dynasty, how can this problem be solved?

The bargaining power of food is related to the cost of war and people's livelihood.

"In this way, the royal family now has millions of acres of land on Jingji Road, and Chen Dong's land sharing and renting is doing well, and the expansion of the new policy will be implemented."

Zhao Ding worried: "Will this cause opposition from those people?"

"First go to Jingji Road to digest the millions of acres of land and clarify the problems. There are many deserted fields in Hebei and Hedong. During this period, the Dongfu will send people to count the deserted fields as soon as possible, so as to implement the new agricultural policy until the end of the year. Hebei and Hedong are making preparations, and at that time, people from the new agricultural policy of Gyeonggi Road will be sent to implement it."

"By the way, the lecture hall is reopened, but I plan to set up new schools, set up scholars, agriculture, industry, business, etc., then change the Guozijian, establish a government school, let officials enter the government school for re-examination, and it will be included in the performance assessment."

"The new school imports corresponding talents for agriculture, crafts, and commerce, and it also involves the training of military personnel, while the official school must firmly grasp the official style."

"What do you think?"

Zhao Ding received too much information at once, he digested it carefully, and said: "I need to go back and sort it out. As for the new policy that Chen Dong is working on, I have been in contact with it before. Today, I submitted a summary. If Taking millions of acres of imperial land as the starting point for the New Deal is not out of the question.”

"Okay, you go back and take care of it."

In fact, Zhao Ning has already started looking for talents for his new study.

Chapter 186 The court's big move has just begun (first update)

No matter how bad the current taxes are, Da Song's broken car will always move forward.

On May [-]th, Chen Dong walked into Wende Hall with a thick pile of documents in his hand.
