Baiguan looked at Mu Yangling in shock, how could he do this?
Yan Du also looked at her in amazement, while Fan Zijin squeezed his fist and encouraged her to continue talking with his eyes.
Qi Haoran became anxious, didn't A Ling offend people to death?
It doesn't matter if he offends people. Anyway, he is Prince Rong, and he can block open swords or dark arrows, but A Ling is different. He can't be by her side all the time. She has a simple mind. What if she is bullied?
Qi Haoran hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, Mu Yangling waved his hand, ignored him, and continued to say to everyone coldly: "After this princess dies, I will pass the newspaper to my son, and my son will pass it on to my grandson. , In short, I, Prince Rong, have been involved with corrupt officials, what's going on?"
Baiguan was too shocked to speak, what else could he do?
They can't justify corrupt officials and princesses.
Everyone's mouth moved, but they couldn't say a word.
Prince Rong hates officials for being greedy and cruel. This is a well-known fact. If the Times really began to accept secret reports from the people, the officialdom would not know how to mess up.
Qi Haoran held his wife's hand, glared at her, and turned to Baiguan: "This morning, the Minister of Household Affairs reported all the salaries and benefits of officials at all levels, you should know that you can support your family with the salaries given to you by the imperial court. There are more than enough people, so why do you still need to embezzle and accept bribes?
An old minister shook his beard and said, "My lord, I am not opposing it because we want to embezzle and accept bribes, but because the official system has changed a lot. I am afraid that the officials will feel uncomfortable, and conflicts will inevitably arise when they conflict."
Qi Haoran hummed, "You were admitted to the imperial examinations and suddenly changed from being a scholar to being an official. It's not a big change, and I don't see any discomfort with you?"
The doctor of the censor said: "Your Highness is very true. Although the officials of my censor station have never been stationed in the local area, as long as the court regulates powers and responsibilities, no matter how difficult it is, our censor will try our best to accomplish it."
Qi Haoran saw that they were silent, so he began to compare the differences between officials and common people.
The treatment of officials in Daqi is very good, hundreds of times better than those of the state welfare treatment in the previous life.
The lowest rank nine-rank official has official land after he takes office in the local area. In addition to the Yongye field he has been allocated, even if the official now has to pay the land tax, he can still support himself and his family.
What's more, in addition to the official fields, the imperial court also gives them rice and silver every year. The ninth-rank officials are three stones, and the salary is eleven taels. In addition, the imperial court will also issue rice and silver during the festivals, not to mention supporting a family. Raising two also makes.
This is still the case for the ninth-rank officials, let alone the first-rank officers above.
Qi Haoran now leads the salaries of the first-rank general and the second-rank deputy minister of military affairs, and the income of the officials and fields fills the warehouse every year.
In the bitter and cold places such as the southwest and northwest, due to the barren land, officials can not only divide more official land, but also have fortune silver that will be filled every year. It can be said that the treatment of officials in Daqi is extremely good, and there will be no shortage of official salaries at all. The phenomenon of living in poverty.
Daqi was not the Ming Dynasty.
And these are still the income on the surface, the gray income also includes the ice and charcoal tributes donated by the locals, and the income from the shops they secretly opened.
Now Qi Xiuyuan wants to reform the official system, but he wants their hands not to stretch too long. Except for Bingjing and Tanjing, don't take anything that shouldn't be taken. You are all blocking it.
Qi Haoran said it very thoroughly. I know what kind of gray income you have. If you are sensible, let go of the black income, and it will benefit the people. Otherwise, you will also cut the gray income.
All Bingjing and Tanjing will be returned to the state treasury or abolished, and then the shops will be strictly inspected to see which official dares to open the door to do business in private.
Qi Haoran put on a look that you are more arrogant than me, the emperor silently expressed his support, and the officials who opposed the reform could only stare at him with a beard.
Qi Haoran can afford to gamble, but they can't afford to gamble. If they really want to carry on, Qi Haoran is really likely to do such a crazy thing.
At this time, the senior officials in the court all recalled that the court abolished the system of exempting jurors and officials from the land tax. At that time, many people died and a lot of blood was shed.
Even the tax-exempt policy for people of fame and fame is exempted, not to mention the reform of the official system?
The officials who were originally opposed to the reform of the official system kept their mouths shut and no longer opposed it, but they did not support it.
Yan Du could only sigh in his heart.
Rongxuan and Fan Zijin looked at each other, both of them were speechless to Baiguan. We both debated with you in a good voice if you were not convinced. We must have this couple abuse you again.
This court meeting was held for a whole day, and when the ministers left the hall, their feet were a little vain.
Mu Yangling watched the crowd go away, turned back to Rong Xuan and Fan Zijin and said, "Although the reform of the official system is imperative, it is best to keep the main focus at this time, rather than being in a hurry, now they have shut up, but in private There may not be no action, at this time, the more stable we are, the better."
Qi Haoran was immediately dissatisfied: "You know it's better to be safe, so you are still threatening them in the palace?"
There are no outsiders around now, and Mu Yangling doesn't save face for him, he just rolled his eyes and said, "It's not because of you, if someone almost committed suicide because of this, do I need to go to the temple to threaten them?"
"Does Master need you to share? Even if someone really dies, is it possible that someone would dare to make Master lose their life?"
Qi Xiuyuan had been watching their husband and wife fight, but when he heard the words, he couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the document on the imperial case and threw it at his head, angrily said, "You still have the face to say that? Today the palace is going to be really dead, look at me. Protect you!"
Qi Xiuyuan was about to be mad at his younger brother. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
Fan Zijin and Rong Xuan put their hands together and stood to the side, watching their noses and their hearts.
Mu Yangling also stood by the side honestly and did not dare to stop.
Qi Haoran didn't dare to hide, so he could only lower his head and let the envelope fall on him until Qi Xiuyuan couldn't throw it away.
Qi Xiuyuan sat on the dragon chair for a while, and said: "You don't go to court recently, you can take A Ling out of Beijing to play for a while. In short, avoid the limelight."
A cold light flashed in Qi Xiuyuan's eyes, and he said, "The reform of the official system is a major event, and they may not be willing to give up. If you stay in Beijing, you will become a target."
This time, the couple offended everyone who could offend.
"I have been so merciful in recent years that they have forgotten the duties of a courtier." He knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, so he allowed the existence of Bingjing and Tanjing, but that didn't mean he could allow it. They further plundered the people.
Qi Xiuyuan has always been determined to move forward. At this time, it is more terrifying to be cold than Qi Haoran's angry appearance. Rong Xuan and Fan Zijin lowered their heads, knowing that the emperor was angry.
