Decades of official career and experience in local circulation made Han Jiang very clear that to serve as an official in the Song Dynasty, except for the elders and important ministers.

Most people find it extremely difficult to do anything they want to do.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's reform had to include a policy of lenient surplus money in conjunction with the exemption law and the exemption law.

This policy is what Han Jiang appreciates the most.

It is also the most praised by the local area.

Because the extra money can really solve the urgent needs of the local area.

"You Kui is in the Two Palaces of Worry and Worry?" Zhang Dun appeared next to Han Jiang at some unknown time.

Han Jiang didn't say anything, which was naturally his acquiescence.

Zhang Dun chuckled and said, "I think Youkui doesn't have to worry..."

"The emperor will definitely speak favorably for Xianggong's regulations!"

Han Jiang turned around, looked at Zhang Dun, and said for a long time: "Don't Zihou know how long Wang Jiefu had to persuade the late emperor for this leftover money?"

For local governments, an increase in leftover funds is certainly a good thing.

Not only can local officials do more, it can also make their political performance better.

But that may not be the case for the Emperor.

With more money left, local governments will be less dependent on the central government.

For the officials of the Song Dynasty, this was almost the same as killing them.

It was Wang Anshi who persuaded the late emperor with his earnest words.

Now, the two palaces are in charge of politics, and the emperor is young and in conflict.

Han Jiang was really worried that the two palaces would reject his proposal out of ancestral system.

But increasing the leftover money is Han Zihua's most important political ambition.

Otherwise, why would he come to Bianjing to wade through this muddy water?

Isn’t it good to enjoy life in Luoyang?

Zhang Dun chuckled twice and said: "Does Youkui think that after so many days of reviewing the military law, the emperor has not heard about Youkui's idea of ​​increasing the remaining money for leniency?"

"Since the emperor didn't object immediately, he didn't even comment a word..."

Zhang Dun smiled: "That means the emperor supports Youkui!"

Han Jiang's eyes lit up as she listened.

really!

The emperor controls the Detective Department. This is now a secret that everyone in the capital knows, but no one is willing to reveal it, let alone tell it.

After all, the "Bianjing New News" used Shen Kuo's movable type printing, so the ink was made by Ouchi.

Even the usual issuance is done at the Dyeing Institute in Xincheng - and next to the Dyeing Institute is the Bureau that specializes in manufacturing weapons.

only……

Why would the emperor support increasing the proportion of leftover money in local governments?

Even if he was gifted with talent by nature, he shouldn't know anything about local affairs, right?

Could it be that……

The late emperor?

impossible!

Han Jiang immediately shook his head. It was impossible for the late emperor to teach the emperor these things.

Just as Han Jiang was thinking, cheers came from outside the hall.

"The Compassionate Will of the Two Palaces..."

"The service law regulations have been approved for trial implementation in Kaifeng Mansion!"

Han Jiang suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Dun with a surprised look on his face: "Zihou, how did you know?"

Zhang Dun laughed: "Guess!"

He smiled brilliantly!

Because he is already close to the truth.

…

Zhao Xu returned to Funing Palace and sat in front of the desk specially made for him.

Look at the things on the desk.

His father gave many instructions on local government's leftover money.

Zhao Xu stared at the words on these memorials, recalling what happened in his previous life after he took office, and even thought about what he knew and heard while studying abroad in modern times.

What is leftover money?

It is the amount of revenue that local military and prefectures are allowed to increase in addition to the exemption money/exemption money.

This part of the money is used as local military and state funds.

In Wang Anshi's reform, the initial standard for remaining money allowance was 20%.

That is, in addition to the exemption money/exemption money, an additional 20% will be collected as mobile funds for the local military and state.

Naturally, this was a patch to the Song Dynasty’s fiscal and taxation system.

In the Song Dynasty, where all finances and taxes were centralized and all expenditures were determined by the central government, local financial rights were small and pitiful because most of the income had to be turned over to the central government.

Most of the money from the thirty-two sealed warehouses of Emperor Liewu Shengxiao was transferred from the local government.

At the same time, at the local level, the money and food in the Changping warehouses also belong to the center in legal terms.

The local officials only have the right of custody but not the right of use.

This is a chronic disease of the Song Dynasty system.

It is also a problem that has troubled us for hundreds of years.

Even in modern times, there seems to be no solution to this problem.

If local governments have too much money, their independence will increase.

If there is too little local money, nothing can be done.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's reform included a system of leniency and surplus money in addition to the exemption from service and exemption from service.

On the one hand, it is to gain support; on the other hand, it is to stimulate local vitality so that the local area can do more things instead of being overstaffed.

Now, Han Jiang requested that an additional 20% to 50% be allocated to local military prefectures as funds from the balance of the exemption money/exemption money that should have been turned over to the central government.

Zhao Xu naturally supports it.

The reason is simple - Zhao Xu knows that the current situation is that local governments have too little money and cannot do much.

Therefore, he supports increasing local funding.

However, in the future, when local governments have more money, he will also ask people to find ways to collect this extra money into the central government.

This is what he learned when he was studying abroad in modern times.

The strength of the central and local governments should be balanced. It will not work if the local government is too weak, and it will not work if the local government is too strong.

At the same time, this is also the lesson Zhao Xu learned in his previous life.

When Shao Sheng told the story, he was too young and too fond of money.

Therefore, although almost all the policies of the old party were abolished, they forgot to abolish one of the biggest bad policies-the remaining money from the government was returned to the central government!

Yes, during the Yuanyou era, in order to completely repeal the new law, Sima Guang and others took all the leftover money that belonged to local mobile funds into the central sealing pile treasury.

This directly led to local shutdowns - many things suddenly ran out of money, so local officials had no choice but to show their talents.

Then……

Almost everyone made the same decision, and the people suffered even more!

However, this bad government was still not corrected in the Shaosheng era.

Now, Zhao Xu finally had the opportunity to correct it - even if you cut leeks, you can't dig out the roots!

I checked the information today and spent most of the day~~~~but I still got confused, so I can only say that the statement about the leftover money in this chapter is generally correct. There must be some errors and omissions in the details. Please bear with me.
Chapter completed!
