And then through Sinong Temple and Sansi, they manage the transportation departments and the Changping Department all over the world, and then manage the prefectures and counties through the transportation department and Changping Department.

He wanted to reform the military service, and he also wanted to transmit it down level by level, and finally to the prefectures and counties. Zhongshu Jianzheng Cai Jing was originally Zhang Yue's confidant, and the third envoy was replaced by Li Chengzhi.

Huang Lu and Kumamoto Cai of Sinong Temple have also gone from opposition before to neutrality or limited support now.

Reform is actually a process of fighting against the bureaucracy.

The level of the Third Division and the chief officer of Sinong Temple was opened up, but the subordinate officers of Sinong Temple seemed unwilling to comply. They were all the backbone of the new law, and they also regarded Zhang Yue's purpose of reforming the labor law as a kind of bureaucracy.

…

Yuan Jiang immediately returned to the viewing hall and the officials entered.

The officials immediately laid out the case.

When Huang Lu came to visit just now, Zhang Yue withdrew the case and sat down to talk with him in the east and west, which was a first-class courtesy.

Generally, only when officials from the two governments or the first two governments arrive at the government hall to discuss matters, Zhang Yue will withdraw the case and sit down to talk. After all, Huang Lu is still half a step away from being a senior, but Zhang Yue treats each other with courtesy, which is called the courtesy of guest and host.

To solve the case.

Now that Xiong Ben, Cai Que, and Cai Jing have come to report the matter, they have re-arranged the case.

Zhang Yue sat facing south, while all the officials sat facing north.

Facing south or north is a clear distinction between superior and inferior. When the officials reopened the Tianzhang Pavilion to pay courtesy to Zhang Yue and Han Jiang, they would sit facing east and west, only showing the imperial portrait of the late emperor and facing south. This is the emperor's intention to respect the prime minister.

In the main hall of the Hanlin Academy, no one dared to sit facing south, but there was a fake chair in the center. This chair was once occupied by Emperor Taizong, so no one but him could face south, so all Hanlin Academy treated each other equally.

sit.

The same example also appeared in the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty established a cabinet, the power of the chief minister was far more powerful than that of other ministers. Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, a statue of Confucius was placed where he was sitting facing south. Apart from him, the chief minister had more power than the other cabinet ministers.

He and other cabinet ministers could only sit left and right across from each other, saying that everyone's status was equal.

This is because the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to have a prime minister.

But today in the political affairs hall, Han Jiang Wang Gui was not present, and Zhang Yuelun held the seal.

He can then sit south openly, which is a huge psychological advantage.

The officials of Sinong Temple wanted to make trouble with Cai Jing today, but unexpectedly, they were directly invited by Cai Jing to the political hall to face Zhang Yue's majesty as prime minister.

People have a psychological advantage at their home court, but their momentum suddenly declines when they are away from home.

Besides, what kind of place is this?

This is the political hall!

The officials of Sinong Temple looked at Zhang Yue holding the seal in his hand, and they felt uneasy in their hearts. Even Kumamoto and Cai Que had to face Zhang Yue to the north.

Zhang Yue looked at the crowd and said: "Although you haven't spoken, I have already guessed it. I originally only passed it on to Cai Yuanchang and Xiong Botong about the imperial court's reform of service laws. But you don't believe their words and question Zhongshu.

Decided, well, now that we are here today, I will tell you personally."

Hearing this, everyone swallowed their saliva in unison.

"Tell me first, why do you disagree with the reform of the service law?"

After everyone looked at each other for a while.

An official stood up. This person was Shudan, the prime minister of Sinong Temple. This man was very courageous and was a young man in the new party.

The other party reported: "I am reporting to Mr. Zhang that Lu Jifu wanted to change the labor law and implement the manual method and the land recruitment law in the world. He first compiled and drafted the law, implemented it in the local area for a period, and then dismissed it."

"As for the reform of the labor law in just two years, this does not leave the world at a loss. I believe that both the practical method and the land recruitment method are good laws. If the court wants to restore these two laws, we have no objection!"

Zhang Yue didn't say anything. Cai Jing stood up and said, "I won't tell you about the quality of the tactics. The method of recruiting land is for the court to use the leftover money from the exemption to buy local acres, and then use the land to recruit people. But now.

If all the money from the service is used for the imperial military expenses in the west, how can you buy land? Or should you tell His Majesty to disband the hundreds of thousands of Western troops?"

Xiong Ben glanced at Zhang Yue and echoed Cai Jing: "Indeed, eighteen million a year's exemption money is the main source of military expenditures in the west. Now the imperial court and Xixia have only a small war, and military expenditures are already beyond their means. What if there is a war in the future?

"

Yue nodded to Kumamoto in the first chapter.

Huang Yan, the Prime Minister of Sinong Temple, stood up and said: "I report to Mr. Zhang that in the second year of Xining, the court began to implement the official salary law. In the past, official salary was extremely low. Not only the salary of central officials was low, but the salary of local officials was also extremely low.

Local officials are also in charge of the country's criminal laws, but except for food and clothing supplies, they have almost no money. This is also the reason why local officials are rampant in corruption."

"After the Xining Reform, the court increased salaries to support integrity, and used high salaries to combat corruption. Any officials who value high salaries will be punished if they are greedy for even a small amount of money."

"If the fifth-class households are exempted from the service fee, then I dare to ask my husband, where will the official salary come from?"

Cai Jing stood up again and said: "Nowadays, the salary of the officials is more than 413,400 yuan, and the salary of the governors of the prefectures is more than 689,800 yuan. The total is only 1.1 million, and the imperial court is

With an annual service fee of 18 million, if the service fee for the fifth-class households is subtracted, how can we say that the official salary will be reduced?"

Cai Jing continued: "I heard that since the recruitment law has been implemented, the north has strongly opposed it, but the south has not opposed it very much."

"The main reason is that the people in the south are rich, and it is convenient as long as the court can avoid adding mediocrity to the mediocrity."

"But the people in the north are already poor, and the fifth-class households have to pay service fees and 20% to 50% of the leftover money for exemption from service, which will undoubtedly make the poor even poorer."

"Shaanxi suffered the most, because Shaanxi was on the front line of the war against Xixia. The rural soldiers had to perform military service and were very tired. However, due to the recruitment law, the rural soldiers were not exempted from service and had to pay assistance money and exemption money.

, that is, 'the mundane is better than the mundane'. Therefore, the voices from all walks of life in Shaanxi Province are the loudest in calling for the restoration of the Servant Law."

"So this time the imperial court chose Shaanxi and Zhejiang to reform the service law!"

Facing Cai Jing, the Sinong Temple officials said a few more words.

At this time Zhang Yue said: "Let me say a few words."

The officials below suddenly stopped talking and there was silence.

"I would like to ask you, what is a good tax law?"

"Taxation must be taxed in proportion to property, while tax exemptions or tax reductions must be based on headcount."

"The imperial court levied a tax of one hundred coins per citizen. For the rich, one hundred coins was a meal, and for the poor, one hundred coins was a life. Let me tell you a story."

The story is that a peasant woman accidentally poured pesticide into a bag of flour but was reluctant to throw it away, so she poured out the top layer and made steamed buns for the whole family. As a result, her husband ate too many steamed buns and died from eating them.

When a peasant woman came back from burying her husband, she thought that too much flour in steamed buns would kill people, so she used flour to make dumplings and ate them. As a result, her daughter ate to death.

The peasant woman was distraught and thought that something would happen if a person ate it, but not a cow. So she fed the leftover flour to the cow, but the cow died after eating it.

The reason why the peasant woman has nothing to do is because she is reluctant to eat it herself and leaves all the flour for her husband, daughter and cows.

To ordinary people, a bag of flour means several lives.

Therefore, taxation should be based on property, rather than per capita taxation. Tax reductions should be the opposite, and tax reductions should be based on per capita.

If one hundred liters per capita were subtracted, the situation would be different.

One hundred pennies is a loss for the rich, but it is different for the common people.

Dividing a small family into an acre is such a good method.

Zhang Yue replaced the pesticide with arsenic in the story about the peasant woman, and everyone was silent after hearing this.
