Chapter 88: Shandong Trial Reform
Zhao Yan's series of actions in Shandong soon caused a big uproar in the court.
First, rent land, then arrest the people in the Zhanwei District, and then arrest Liu Zeqing. The network involved is huge.
However, Yan Jizu's commentary suppressed most of the sound.
This is the difference between civil servants and military generals. If these things are done by military officials in the future, they will inevitably be criticized. If they are instructed by civil servants, there is nothing to be picky about.
After all, Yan Jizu was the highest chief of a province. It was justified to arrest Liu Zeqing, and it was even more justified to retrieve the land in the garrison. As for the matter of renting land, there is no explanation yet, and the court still criticized it.
Chongzhen did not have the intention to care about the things in Shandong, but decided to increase the amount of suppression in early September. At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was lucky enough to die, and even formed a team of more than 20,000 people in Shaanxi.
Li Zicheng conquered Mizhi in July, and his relatives followed him like clouds and were wandering towards Sichuan.
After Zhang Xianzhong rushed to Huguang, he was picked up by Lu Xiangsheng to Shanxi. Wherever the bandits went, they were still in chaos, but because of the promotion of sweet potatoes, the number of people following the bandits decreased slightly, but it became more convenient for the bandits to raise grain.
The Yulan gave more than 2993,790 taels of silver, and the work part used 90,000 taels of rice and the island of Shandong to pay more than 555,790 taels of rice. Zhejiang added 420,272 taels of silver, Jiangxi added 361,036 taels of silver, Fujian added 120,802 taels of silver, Henan added 667,421 taels of silver, Shandong added 50 Five thousand seven hundred and fifty-seven taels, Shaanxi added 263,651 taels of silver, Fengyang Fusuo extra silver was distributed 276,885 taels of silver, Southern Zhili added 381,835 taels of silver, Guangdong added 231,178 taels of silver, Northern Zhili added 231,178 taels of silver, Northern Zhili added 953 taels of silver, Yanqing Prefecture distributed 274 taels of silver, Baoan Prefecture distributed 274 taels of silver.
First, Chongzhen cut off the 90,000 taels required by the Ministry of Works and the 550,000 taels required by the officers and soldiers of Pidao, and then all provinces and continents sent additional anti-suppression funds.
A total of 2993,790 taels of silver were added, and the cut part was added to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and silver: 3.633,790 taels.
At this time, Chen Zhongsheng, the governor of Dengzhou, reported the results of the trial reform in Dengzhou, and received a total of 2.1 million taels of land tax, commercial tax, fish tax, salt profit of 900,000 taels, a total of 3 million taels of silver.
There are three trial reform policies in Dengzhou:
1: Overhaul water conservancy, measure land, and train soldiers from all townships and villages.
2: Abolish the Taizu tax rating monument, and ten kilograms of rice and wheat per mu of land tax are collected once in summer and autumn. The rice and wheat are collected by the government, and then purchased by grain merchants from all over the country to change the land tax and damage wealth. The commercial tax is widely set up in various places, and the ten tax system is combined with the ten tax system.
3: Restore Taizu's method of punishing corruption, strictly investigate greedy officials in various places, and regard upright and honest people as minor officials, and use the opposite of changing officials to force the people to force them.
At the same time, Zhao Yan also reported that in the ninth year, Shandong's salt profit quota was completed and obtained 5 million taels of salt profit, which was released to Beijing with Dengzhou Tax Bank.
At the same time, Shandong governor, Censor, and Shandong Censorate jointly submitted a report to Shandong imitate Dengzhou for trial reform, which could pay 3 million taels of silver per year.
Finally, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu also submitted a memorial to try to correct the situation and reported on the land rent in Shandong, saying that the farming in Shandong was abandoned and the land rent was to resettle and change the people. The three provinces of Qin, Jin and Henan could be transferred to the people in Shandong to change the people in Shandong to stop the thieves and expand the opportunity.
The memorial of the Shandong Governor and Taoist magistrate immediately caused an uproar in the court.
"The Taizu tax rated monument should not be abolished, as it will cause disasters of excessive taxes."
"How can the resumption of commercial tax nourish the people?"
It was like water dripping into a oil pan, splashing and exploding, and the officials in the North Korean countries opposed Shandong's major reforms.
However, Zhu Youjian was worried that Dengzhou Prefecture was originally an underworld, and there was no tax silver to pay. This reform would be charged three million taels of tax silver. If Shandong tried to change, it would be possible to collect five million taels every year.
Shandong's taxes were originally 2.5 million taels, plus 3 million taels, and 3 million taels from Dengzhou Prefecture. Will Shandong earn nearly 10 million taels per year?
Adding to the five million taels of salt in Shandong, it is 15 million taels. With this five million taels, it is much easier to attack the thieves.
"Shandong is just a trial reform. It can be regarded as a model for all provinces. If not, it can be cancelled. According to my opinion, it will be correct!" Chongzhen ignored the opposition of the ministers, and the court directly approved Shandong's trial reform request that day. At the same time, he ordered Yan Jizu to preside over the reform matter, and Chen Zhongsheng, the governor of Dengzhou, assisted him.
Chongzhen agreed, and the opposing officials stopped talking.
Anyway, Shandong likes to change how it changes, but the only thing to worry about is to restore the method of Taizu to punish greed and despise. If it really takes effect, all civil and military officials in the court will be beheaded and skinned.
However, it is almost impossible to restore this punishment system. If you really need to change it like this, you will have to cause trouble. So after Chongzhen agreed, they didn't say much, and just waited for the joke.
...After the Shandong trial reform was approved, the news came back to Zhaojiabao within a few days.
Zhao Yan was overjoyed. Since Chongzhen passed the trial reform plan, the entire Shandong administrative power fell into his control.
What are the fundamental characteristics of a warlord?
It means separatism, own territory, and has administrative power within the territory.
Once you have administrative power, it means that you can call on the human and material resources in the territory.
The two main points of Shandong's reform were to train rural soldiers and to sack grassroots officials. The people in both aspects were all produced by Zhao Yan, which means that they controlled all the rural population in Shandong and undermined all administrative officials in Shandong.
This is Zhao Yan's real purpose of reform. At the same time, the reform can also provide the court with more taxes, which can allow the Ming Dynasty to hold on for a period of time first.
A chaotic Ming Dynasty did not meet the interests of Denglai, nor did it meet the interests of the nation.
Zhao Yan immediately took his personal guards and went to Jinan to discuss and try to change the details with Shandong officials. At the same time, Yan Jizu also summoned officials from various Shandong yamen to Jinan.
When Zhao Yan met Yan Jizu in Jinan, Yan Jizu's attitude towards him became much more enthusiastic. Although it was not very obvious, Zhao Yan could still feel his attitude change.
On that day, Zhao Yan, Yan Jizu and three Taoist officials from Shandong conspired again, and the next day he summoned other Shandong officials to discuss matters.
Many officials do not know about Shandong’s trial reform and have been kept in the dark.
After listening to the trial and correction of various matters, they were in an uproar. Isn’t this a revolution to their lives? You can’t embezzle and become a nonsense!
Zhao Yan immediately asked someone to carry out 500,000 taels of silver and asked someone to open the box.
Suddenly, all the officials of all sizes looked over and Zhao Yan said loudly: "Local officials should be polite to the people and keep themselves clean. I also know that it is not easy for you to be an official. I will pay 500,000 taels of money to support you. I will give you the money now."
The Reform Department has become a real yamen, in charge of regular public security, relief, and taxation. If the magistrates want to do, they have to go to the Reform Department to approve the Reform Department.
Chapter completed!
