Chapter 674: Good son-in-law, come here!
I carry sedan chairs and roll up the curtains for people every day, and I feel so painful in the palace.
But they were timid and didn't dare to say anything.
Li Shilong was a little embarrassed. Since he ascended the throne, the treasury has not been sufficient.
Because the policy of rest and recuperation is implemented, the tax revenue for hard work is not heavy.
In addition, disasters have been repeated, and tax cuts have been repeated.
If you have food and rice, you will get your salary if you don’t have money and you will get your salary if you don’t have money.
In his nine years of reign, I am afraid that half of the time I did not pay the salary in full.
There are more than 70 yamen in the capital, and the office funds are pitifully small.
For example, in Dali Temple, when Li Cungong was alive, it was pretty good. Sun Zhiguo took office and was so poor that he was so poor.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there are actually many yamen in the capital, and there are a kind of "Shi Shi of Catching Money"!"
A voice suddenly came from the crowd. Li Shilong looked at him carefully, and was stunned at first, then he was delighted, "Wenliang, when did you arrive in the capital?"
Zhuge Sui, whose courtesy name was Wenliang, was Duke of Nanhe County. He used to be the governor of Tongzhou. Like Qu Tuba, he was transferred back.
Zhuge then stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I just arrived in the morning, so I came to the Ministry of Revenue first. I didn't go to see Your Majesty as soon as possible. Please forgive me!"
Li Shilong waved his hands repeatedly, "What's the crime!"
Zhuge Sui was also a minister he trusted. This person doesn't like to flatter, but he doesn't have the ability to say it.
For Li Shilong, it is more important for those who criticize horses to not.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhuge then stood up and continued, "Then I will continue what I hadn't finished just now. I have heard of the 'Shi Shi, the 'Shi of Catching Money' in Tongzhou before. These people lend money to the people for office funds, and they have a few times the interest.
I heard that there are more than 600 "money-histors" in the capital, and they can be given official positions in a year.
If this continues, it will not take long for the officials to be fully occupied by the "Shi Shi, the Money-Catching Ling".
The intellectuals trained by the imperial institution and the elites selected by the local government, and the best choices and those with noble moral character will inevitably be involved in private fraud.
Now, using the ‘Shi Shi of Catching Money’, to cultivate these profit-seeking people, and they all give them official positions. How can you do it?”
Zhuge Sui's words also silenced the people present.
Indeed, the emergence of the history of catching money has caused the traditional official who came from the right path to panic and angry.
It's just that no one dares to say it.
Li Shilong was also a little confused about this matter because the country was too poor.
From the uprising to now, it has been more than 20 years, and the finance and taxation have been exhausted.
Although Qin Mo gave advice, it is still not enough to show off these money.
In order to solve the problems of officials' salaries and office funds of yamen at all levels, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor designed a special system for the court to lend and rent, namely the government's money and the government's fields.
The so-called "public party money" means that the court allocates some land and money to each yamen, and the officials will run it. The money earned will be used as office funds and salary, so that the court will not have to pay office costs.
The court would also grant part of the Yongye field according to the status of the officials, and then grant part of the positions of the officials.
When an official is transferred, he needs to hand over his position and redistribute it to the next position. Yongye fields can be retained and passed on to his descendants.
In this way, the income of officials is guaranteed and no longer requires the salary given by the court.
But the truth is, it's still poor.
Although it was OK at the beginning, the two systems later collapsed.
In order to make money, Li Shilong even wanted to find 7,000 richest senior households from the country. He forced these wealthy households to pay money every year to support the government and officials, and accurately targeted the office funds of the yamen and the subsidies for the land distribution of officials.
But after two years of complaints, I was afraid of arousing civil unrest, so I removed this system.
So, this money-catching Lingshi was born in response to the situation.
Qin Mo was not there at that time, and just slapped his head and asked each yamen to set up 9 money-catching instructions, each person was in charge of 50,000 big-time Tongbao money.
He referred to market interest rates and believed that it was possible to get 100% returns every year.
Therefore, it is stipulated that every Lingshi must provide 4,000 Dagan Tongbao interest every month.
Those who fail to complete the task will be punished and those who complete the task will be rewarded. If they complete the task for twelve consecutive months, they will be included as alternates to the Ministry of Personnel. If they are qualified, they can be transferred to regular positions and appointed as actual missing officials.
"I think this is just a disguised sale of official positions and titles?" Zhuge Sui said: "These people are used to seeking profits. If they are shameless, don't follow the integrity and make them take up their posts.
Where can I get it? The future drawbacks should be eliminated."
After a while, Li Shilong said that he was dull, but more of it was reflection.
Because he also felt that it was not very good.
But the imperial court's tax revenue is just that. There are seventy yamen in the capital. What's more than one cent?
"Wenliang, I... have difficulties!" Li Shilong said helplessly.
"Even if Your Majesty has difficulties, you should not give in on the issue of principle!" Zhuge said: "Since Your Majesty asks me to come back to replace the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the catching money should be abolished.
If this is the case, I am unwilling to take over this position. Please choose another talented person!"
Qin Mo looked at Zhuge Sui and said, "This old guy is OK, he is very hard."
In fact, whether it is to catch money, whether it is a helpless move, whether it is a public security or a public security field.
When Dakan founded the country, the war never stopped. Where did the money come from?
According to Qin Mo's previous calculations, the tax revenue of big work must reach at least 15 million taels of silver a year before it can develop healthily.
Li Shilong was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Qin Mo who was dazed beside him, and his heart moved, "Bao Ba, why are you laughing?"
Qin Mo came to his senses and pointed at himself, "Your Majesty, do you say I'm laughing? I don't, what Zhuge said makes sense!"
"Yes, it's you!" Li Shilong slapped Qin Mo's head with a big slap, "What's the difference between making a horse racing and catching money Lingshi?"
Qin Mo's nose was crooked, "Your Majesty, you are too far-fetched. Zhuge criticized you, and it has something to do with me.
My horse racing is a serious income-generating project, and it is not comparable to your loan shark.
I don’t know who came up with this stupid method, it’s really stupid!”
Li Shilong clenched his fists, his fingers turned white, and he put his foot on Qin Mo's butt, "Tan Ba, then tell me, what's so good about you, a racing horse? I can't tell you, I'll kill you!"
Qin Mo covered his butt, "You, you know that you pick up soft persimmons and pinch them. If you do something wrong, you will vent your anger on the child. At first glance, you will not realize your mistake.
Zhuge, continue to scold, he was crazy about money, and he was so angry that he was so angry!"
