Chapter 889

"My highness, I have just finished sorting out the taxes of all the roads, states and counties of the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, but I have not confirmed all the details. Therefore, after I went to the court today, I did not go into the palace to check with your majesty. Therefore, colleagues today, I hope that all the figures or the distribution of taxes should not be taken seriously for the time being, and that they can only be used as tax documents for the first half of this year by the Ministry of Finance and accounts after they have been checked again. " Heng yanfan stood up, took out a document from his sleeve pocket, opened it, and then slowly began to report to more than a dozen people present.

Just like the official department just now, the tax of the Tang Dynasty, after removing the previous taxes, is a one-to-one comparison between the taxes of Guozijian, hongwenguan and Chongwen, with the taxes of the rich and powerful families, courtiers, clansmen and influential officials.

Of the six major tasks of the government, the Ministry of grain has always been a heavy burden, and it is natural that there is no need for the Ministry of government to be meticulous in its six tasks.

Therefore, the comparison of Hubu, when it comes to the taxes at the county and state levels headed by the Imperial College, especially those in the poor areas, can not be compared with the amount of taxes paid in the rich states and counties by the powerful connections after the imperial examination, or recommended by the rich families, courtiers and relatives, or after passing the imperial examination.

In the annual increase and decrease of tax revenue, the state and county taxes held by the officials who were students of the Imperial College were not comparable to those of the state and county taxes held by the dignitaries and nobles and their relatives.

In the state and county taxes held by the officials of the Imperial College, 30% of the taxes were not increased but reduced instead. In addition, the granaries of the Ministry of housing even strengthened efforts to distribute official grain for them, so that the county could continue and the people would not have no food to eat.

Therefore, there is no way to compare such achievements in the assessment of Taoist, state and supervisory censor. Even if they have not been removed from office, they are already very grateful.

The officials who were born in the rich and powerful families and royal families were often among the best in the assessment. They were often highly praised. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. They were deeply loved by the people and became the local blue sky masters.

"Is the data so compared credible or not?" Li Hong held down Shangguan Wan'er's hand to continue to record, gently patted and asked.

"Back to you, this is the first time that the Ministry of housing has made such a detailed classification. I can't guarantee that there is not a slightest difference between them. However, I think that from the perspective of large data, these figures are extremely credible. Moreover, since the minister took charge of the Ministry of household affairs, there has been no big mistake in this respect. Today's figures, as a reference is absolutely no problem, and even if the minister carefully checked again, I'm afraid there will not be too much difference. " Heng yanfan stood and answered Li Hongdao.

After looking at some confused colleagues, Heng yanfan explained: "the Hubu is dealing with overall planning, calculation and figures, so when the records are included in the book, it is often necessary to verify them several times. Today, the figures submitted to your majesty and your colleagues have only been passed twice by the Hubu Department, which is not up to the standard, so please forgive me."

Li Hong nodded, let go of Shangguan Waner's hand, took a look at Li Lingyue, who was still writing hard, and sighed: "so, at least we can draw a conclusion from the figures. Officials with the background of powerful families, dignitaries and clansmen are just relying on big trees to enjoy the cool in recent years. After all, those big tax payers, after all, are still better than those of those countries It is much higher to be an official than a supervisor or a scholar from a poor family. "

"Nearly 40% of the taxes of those who were officials of the poor families and the Imperial College were often reduced by half, or even all. Is there anything else the Ministry of household has to say? Or the Ministry? Is there anything to say? " Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief. These figures were not different from what he had imagined, and they were also consistent with the local scenes of barren States and counties presented by the imperial historian.

Of course, the premise is that if the Ministry of works and the Ministry of household can give a clear account of money, grain, commodities, water conservancy renovation and wasteland reclamation, then it can be accurately judged that the officials represented by Guozijian and hanmenshizi did not neglect their duties, and were not like the officials every year compared with those of the powerful families or the courtiers The assessment of the Ministry is the same as that of the Ministry, which is far from them.

With the two ministers of the Ministry of work and the Ministry of Hubu, it has been proved that the scholars of the poor gate and the Guozijian did not neglect their duties, but because of the limited conditions, they could not meet the assessment standards of the Ministry of officials.

Even in the documents issued by the Ministry of works, in the construction of water conservancy, roads, and wasteland reclamation, the officials of the poor gate who seem to have neglected their duties, or the officials of the Imperial College, have played an important role in them.

Although the government's taxes are low, the people's livelihood of the local people has been improved. Even some barren counties that used to require the government to allocate food and provisions can now be self-sufficient. Naturally, the premise is that the government's taxes can not be included or the taxes can be reduced by half.

This is also the government's policy on poor counties, which does not give the same amount of taxes or pressure as the rich counties. As a result, the county officials in these poor counties often lag behind themselves in the assessment of the officials, but also let the people get tangible benefits, so as to thank the court.The Ministry of rites did not have much right to speak in the conference hall of Beijing Zhaofu Yamen. Therefore, in the whole process, the Secretary of the Ministry of officials should listen and listen, and then listen.

The Ministry of punishment also summarized the situation of the refugees in Dao, Zhou and county in recent years, and even made statistics on how many illegal things happened in Dao, Zhou and Fu every year.

In this statistics, we can draw a conclusion that there is a 70% higher probability of the illegal behavior of the rich and powerful families, courtiers and clansmen than that of the poor scholars and the common people.

Especially in rich states, counties and other places, in the cases of lawlessness and life-threatening cases, we can always see the shadow of rich families and dignitaries or courtiers' families. However, most of these cases are caused by entertainment places such as restaurants and boats.

However, compared with other states and counties, the public security of each Dufu Prefecture will generate large-scale criminal cases because of the relationship between the Duhu and the garrison. However, these criminal cases are all due to the disputes over the people's livelihood of the herdsmen fighting for grassland or the number of cattle and sheep.

Even if there is a conflict over women, because of the different customs and habits, it can not be compared with those of the Han nationality in China and the Central Plains, who always respect etiquette.

No matter Su GUI, his son, or the other three people, they are all sweating at the moment. His majesty, with a set of data that can not tell lies, completely explains to them the importance of the Imperial College to the Tang Dynasty.

Especially for the people's livelihood of the world, the officials from the Imperial College and other academies were completely and wholeheartedly working for the welfare of all the people in the world, while the officials who were taught by the five surnames and seven hopes or the famous people all over the world were full of mouth in discussing the general situation of the world and attacking the court, the government and the Guozijian for their inaction and misdeeds.

"Taiyi city has a lot of money coming and going every year. Bai Chun, how do you explain this?" Li Hong glanced at the indifferent Bai Chun behind him, and then asked after he took a look at Heng Yan fan, the Minister of the Ministry of housing.

"Sire, there were droughts in many places in Tang Dynasty last year, and the Imperial Court opened warehouses to release grain. However, in some places, it was useless even to transport grain by hot-air balloon. Therefore, it was the result of another adventure experiment by King Li Zhe." Before Bai Chun spoke, Heng yanfan, the Minister of Hubu, suddenly stood up and said.

But this time, everyone's face has become dignified. Most of us can remember what happened last year. Because the drought not only happened around Chang'an, but more importantly, it was a place thousands of miles away from Chang'an and Luoyang.

The road to these places is just like the road from Guanzhong to Jiannan road. The hot-air balloon of King Li Zhe, with a kilogram of grain, could not climb the endless mountains. Finally, he could only watch the grain drift away and scatter among the mountains in vain.

The government can not supply grain to places where the drought is serious, so it is necessary for the government to buy grain from big families or give people money to buy grain. It is precisely because of this that the governments in several prefectures and counties with the most serious drought have begun to buy and sell food at the starting price. The price of a bucket of grain has doubled within three days, but The market is still bullish.

Because of this, Taiyi city and the Royal Bank of China had to start buying grain to solve the disaster. In less than two months, many large families made enough money in nearly three years.

"There are so many famous people in the world who often talk about the well-being of the people and the country. But when the Tang Dynasty really needs them and needs them to do something real for the common people, they become humble merchants and start to set prices and exploit people's hard-earned money. But fortunately, last year's drought, at least every family, every household's land was preserved, and there was no chance of being annexed by others because of natural or man-made disasters. " Li Hong sighed. Last year's drought was the most difficult situation in the Tang Dynasty that he had never seen in his life.

Even at that time, there were many officials and sons in the imperial court who told them that they should punish themselves. Even the father, the emperor and the empress of the mother, two couples who had come all the way through thousands of difficulties and dangers, sometimes called themselves to Xingqing palace, and implicitly suggested that they should issue an edict against themselves to pacify the people.
