Chapter 688 Disadvantages of Gao Leng Nian

As soon as Wang Kuang said, the officials present immediately lit up their eyes and expressed their opinions that since the Marquis of Jian'an had agreed, it would definitely be possible. If that is the case, why don't you sell it to everyone? After a batch of these remarks, they will become a person who has kindness to the officials. This method is good. Moreover, it is most appropriate to have this remark on Gao Jifu. However, he is famous for paying attention to lower-level officials. He has already published a book that proposes to pay salaries to foreign officials and has been adopted. It is reasonable to apply another one now.

This was so joyful that the old Taoist priest who was still standing beside him. He had to catch up with the good time and was promoted to an official position and would have to raise so much salary immediately? But it was obviously a military and national event, and he was not suitable to participate. Before he received the document of the prosecutor to change his official uniform, he wanted to interrupt. So he just stood there blankly, and he was not going to leave, and he didn't know where to go, and he didn't walk away. Just listen to it is not a problem? But it was not easy to interrupt. Among the people in front of him, except for the two who were as helpless as him, who were all arrogant.

The people who have official positions have long been aroused by Wang Kuang's topic, and they can't even care about them. Even the clerks and yamen runners standing aside have their eyes shining brightly, and they are raising them four times as much as they have. How comfortable should they live? But after listening for a long time, the clerks and yamen runners have heard something. It turns out that this is the business of officials of high rank? It has nothing to do with these inequality people?

Some people were brave and thought. Anyway, the Marquis of Jian'an were kind, so they simply gritted their teeth and asked, "That, Jian... Marquis of Jian'an, the little one, dared to ask. Ask a question, what should we do if we are not a good person?"

"Oh, I almost forgot you. Lao Gao, since I want to write, I should just include those minor officials and yamen runners who are not in the ordinary. Look, the people in front of me are in Chang'an. How many yamen runners and clerks are there in Chang'an? There are still people with Qianlai? If they are like yamen with income, their income is still guaranteed, but if they are Qingshui yamen, their monthly money can only be squeezed from Shangguan's salary. It is not easy to live in Chang'an, so they can simply be listed in the ranks of salary expenses. And there are local clerks.

The same should be true for the yamen runners. Do they need to get the same money for the same job?” Wang Kuang patted his forehead and really forgot that he never had to bear the monthly money of the yamen runners. Even if he wanted, there were no yamen runners. A scattered official was a commander and had no subordinates. Among his guards, there were officials. Although he was actually under his jurisdiction, he nominally belonged to the court. He received the salary of the court and did not have to pay it himself. Moreover, their salary was not even as good as the fraction of the pocket money he gave them every month.

"How much more does the court have to spend?" Gao Jifu quit. He was not blindly defending officials. If he really wanted to include all the inequality as Wang Kuang said, the expense would be large enough. Maybe it would be emptying the treasury in a few years.

"Switch a different idea." Wang Kuang helplessly stretched out one hand, opened it, and then broke it with his other hand and pointed at the other: "The salary of four times is not necessarily required to be paid by the treasury. The court can pay twice the extra, and the other two times. If they come from the local area, they cannot get all of these two times. For example, if the number of households in a state has increased a lot this year and the tax paid by the treasury increases to a certain proportion, can it be fully increased? If it is the same as last year, it will only double. This standard will also mobilize the enthusiasm of local officials to consider the people of the state, and secondly, it can also reflect how many capable people get."

Seeing Gao Jifu interrupting, Wang Kuang quickly interrupted: "Don't rush to say it, I know you must say, what if the local officials raise taxes without authorization or increase taxes and levies without authorization, right? It's simple, let the Censorate participate. The censors from various departments give them some supervision power, and the court sends people to the states for review every year. Isn't such dual supervision avoidable to the greatest extent?"

"Also, don't be busy. I haven't finished speaking. You are just not good at this. You always like to interrupt people. Otherwise, why are you still a member of the Secretariat? Just by the memorial you wrote a few years ago and paid salary to foreign officials. I don't know how many foreign officials should recommend you. But look, it's been seven or eight years, and you are still a member of the Secretariat. Your habit has to be changed." Wang Kuang choked Gao Jifu's face and his ears were red. He stumbled for a long time, and he never said anything again. Wang Kuang said it to him at the critical point. If it weren't for his slander, how could he still stay in the Secretariat's position for several years?

The reason why Wang Kuang slandered him was because Wang Kuang knew that this guy's future achievements were definitely at the level of his husband. He did not know it from the information he knew, but Li Shimin once commented on him, saying that if this guy could change his faults, it would be of great use. Moreover, Gao Jifu was also nicknamed as a cold person because he never talked about who he was.

"Look, the person who went to various states to review can be affiliated with the Censorate Supervision Office, or it can be a first-class office, called the Audit Office, which is specifically responsible for reviewing the income and expenditure status of various local departments, and of course, including the various yamen in Chang'an. What money is over-paid and which money should not be spent are listed clearly, and then the book is recorded and reported. The husbands can see it at a glance. The saints can save the saints from asking the Ministry of Revenue today and the Ministry of Works tomorrow. Is it?" Wang Kuang looked at Gao Jifu again, and saw that this guy held back and didn't say anything, he smiled, and then said:

"As for those who are not in the market, if their salary is paid by the treasury, it is obviously not appropriate. Can it be paid by the treasury in each state? Nowadays, the treasury in each state has basically surplus, especially the treasury in the Jiangnan states. Instead of letting local officials pay for the monthly money of the treasury and yamen runners out of their own pockets, it is better to let the treasury and yamen runners go out of their own pockets. Think about it, who are the treasury and yamen runners busy for? They are busy for the court and the people, not for the treasury. Since they are busy for the court and the people, their income should also be paid by the court and the local treasury. This way, it is not said that

There are many yamen runners and clerks who have been working for many years. You must know that those yamen runners and clerks who have worked for many years are always faster than new ones and are much more familiar with them? Someone else doesn’t know, but I only know that in Jianzhou, the monthly money of yamen runners is all paid by the warehouse, and there are no large number of people who have changed their Shangguan. New officials have taken office, and with the support of the elderly, they will be very quick to handle local government affairs. Otherwise, how do you think that all officials in Jianzhou have achieved success in the past few years? Are they not the old people helping them?

"Good, great kindness." After Wang Kuang finished speaking for a long time, he looked at him with a smile. Gao Jifu answered carefully. Wang Kuang's words can be said to have basically supplemented some of the possible shortcomings. As Wang Kuang said, now all the incomparable scribes and yamen runners in the Tang Dynasty were paid by Shangguan, which caused the yamen runners to speak for whoever they paid. Similarly, the new Shangguan did not dare to use the yamen runners left by his ex for the past, worried that they would help conceal some illegal and disorderly matters. Therefore, after each local official took office, the first thing he did was not to think about how to be a good official, but to rush to change the subordinates, so as not to convey their meanings well.

"Since that's the case, why wouldn't the reopening of Yong'an Palace be prepared by Gao Sheren? If someone objected, there was something to say. Those who opposed the reopening of Yong'an Palace would definitely not object to the increase in salary. But if he opposed the establishment of Yong'an Palace and agreed to increase salary, then he would not seem to be only caring about himself? It is inevitable that he would end up with a reputation as a villain who just watched the saint live in such a crowded, cold and wet Tai Chi Palace." Yan Lide twisted his beard and smiled.

Wang Kuang laughed secretly, and Old Man Yan was really sloppy. He knew that the construction of Yong'an Palace would definitely attract many people's opposition, especially Old Man Wei, who must be the one who jumped the most. Wang Kuang knew Old Man Wei too well. This old man's temper would definitely stop the restart of Yong'an Palace without raising his salary or even reducing his salary. There was only one reason, which was a waste of money and money!

But I have a killer move! At that time, Old Man Wei will definitely have nothing to say, and may be the one who actively supports the construction of Yong'an Palace. So he looked at Gao Jifu, who looked embarrassed and said: "It's okay, let's just plan it. Add one sentence and say that someone proposed to open the Yong'an Palace. If anyone objected, it would be fine to attack him. But he is sure that Mr. Changsun will definitely support him."

Yan Lide was immediately depressed. What am I doing? I will give the credit I received to this cold face? If the saint turned around and saw that it was started to rebuild the Yong'an Palace, he asked, who mentioned it? Everyone said it was mentioned it was a cold face. What should the saint think? The person who should mention it first should be the person responsible for the construction of the Yong'an Palace. The least it is, at least it should be a talent from the Ministry of Works. In this way, the saint would think that it was instructed by the Minister of Works, so why did the saints let the irrelevant people in the Secretariat take care of this matter?

I thought it was a chore, but it was the most suitable candidate for making this suggestion, so I responded and was ready to be sniffed by officials from all over the court, especially the old man Wei jumped up and down to scold him for instigating the saints to enjoy the extravagant treacherous ministers. But why did he get obsessed with the ghosts and insist on pushing this to the cold side? Since it was proposed by Marquis Jian'an, he could just click a sentence when writing a memorial, why was he so stupid? Since Marquis Jian'an dared to mention it, he would definitely be sure that Mr. Wei would not sell anyone's account, but he would sell the account of Marquis Jian'an. If it weren't for the surname Wei and the surname Wang, and his hometown was separated by 100,800 miles, I'm afraid that someone in the court would guess that Marquis Jian'an was actually Mr. Wei'er's son, otherwise how could he maintain it in every way?

At this time, he had already forgotten that it was the first old man Wei who jumped out to oppose the title of Wang Kuang's official position, and the first one to jump out to oppose the emperor's banquet held by the Emperor to go to Lin Mansion to be appointed as the title of Wang Kuang. Even the 100,000-yuan bet he had made some time ago was completely forgotten. To be continued...
