Chapter 659: Flowering in the East and West(1/3)
In fact, for those ministers of the fourth rank and above, they should have entered the vacation at this time. In fact, the previous debt restructuring was too troublesome, so no one had the intention to take a vacation, because their juniors may all be salary-paying officials, so how about this matter?
If so, this year will be over.
However, this result was completely different from the death they expected.
And the culprit of all this is Nerbi Zhang San.
Just know it!
I knew that when this kid came back, he would be up to no good.
Do you still want to be transferred back to the capital?
Dream on!
Most of the ministers said that Hezhong Mansion is very important, but now there are only some young officials there, and even most of the chief judges, assistant judges, and prosecutors are young people who have never even participated in the scientific examination. How can they be worthy of it?
As the important task, Zhang Fei must be quickly returned to Hezhong Mansion to take charge of the overall situation to avoid chaos. The northwest is crucial.
When our capital is at peace and prosperous, we don’t need Zhang San to worry about it.
It sounds like Zhang San is qualified to take the scientific examination.
At the same time, all relevant government offices are on holiday. We will talk about it next year if we have something to do, and let you, Zhang San, have a deep experience of the efficiency of my Da Song Dynasty.
This made Zhao Xu and Fu Bi very helpless!
We can only talk about it next year.
Because of this personnel arrangement, even if the emperor wanted to go through the back door, he could only confirm that Zhang Fei would be transferred back, but he still needed to go through the formalities.
This rule cannot be broken.
What's more, the legal system has always emphasized rules.
However, this year is still difficult for them. Everyone is uneasy because there will be huge changes in Jingdong East Road next year. Once successful, it may affect the capital. Everyone is still racking their brains to deal with it.
Policy.
See if there are any other ways to prevent Qingzhou's debt restructuring.
Although Wang Anshi's career law has won the support of many people, it is only a cover-up policy. The best policy is to prevent this precedent from finally being implemented.
Because so far, this case has not officially become law, and we have to look at the specific situation of Qingzhou before making a final decision.
On the contrary, Zhang Fei is very relaxed and comfortable. Since his position has not yet been arranged, he does not have to go to work at the beginning of the year. He feels that he should also give himself a long vacation. He has not taken any vacation for more than two years in Hezhong Mansion. Although he is very young, he is also
You can't do it like this.
It's a pity that two women in the family became pregnant at the same time, so they couldn't do much during the holidays.
In the middle of winter, my only right to exercise has been deprived of me, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
This is the result of equal exposure to rain and dew.
...
Winter is gone and spring is coming!
With the end of the Lantern Festival, it is also officially announced that the annual leave of officials is over.
The most lively officialdom in the country this year is really the Qingzhou officialdom. Last year, they were actually lying down and almost ignored everything in order to fight.
You need to reorganize, right?
Then go and play by yourselves.
But in the end, they found that due to the existence of the police station, there was no chaos as they imagined. What was even more disgusting was that the Taxation Department seemed to have sprung up from the ground. At the end of last year, the court decided to fully build the Taxation Department on Jingdong East Road.
.
As a result, the Taxation Department officially opened during the annual holiday, which really caught everyone off guard. How can any government office open during the Chinese New Year? If you are so dedicated, how can we survive?
I, the Song Dynasty, do not advocate curling up the most. Everyone should lie flat.
You are breaking the rules!
The Taxation Department’s explanation to the outside world is very simple. Our Taxation Department only officially takes annual leave when bonuses are distributed. The Chinese New Year is the busiest time for us.
In fact, this is not the fault of the Taxation Department. The ghost tax police on Jingdong East Road are already very hungry and their targets are ripe and waiting to be slaughtered.
The routine is still the same, which is to apply with the land title yourself.
Love comes or not.
However, the tax law has not changed for the time being. After all, summer tax was collected last year, and it is still collected according to the autumn tax standard, but it includes exemption tax.
Because the exemption law has been fully implemented on Jingdong East Road this year.
This is actually one of the reasons for the riots in other states and counties on Jingdong East Road. There are too many debts and too many taxes, and they are not allowing people to live!
Public security and tax collection are all provided by the government, so even if your government closes down, there will be no legislative chaos.
However, with the spread of the Business Law to Qingzhou, the officials of Qingzhou also understand very well that this debt restructuring may be inevitable, at least for now, it cannot be stopped, so they must quickly show their performance, this dead Taoist friend will not die.
Poor way.
After the New Year, Qingzhou officials all went to work actively.
After all, some officials must be retained to maintain the operation of the government. These officials depend on their personal abilities.
But no matter how active they are, they can't keep up with the Public Security Bureau. There was no holiday for the entire Public Security Bureau last year. They have been dealing with lawsuits.
Imperial Court.
"Mr. Wang Zhuan, regarding the lawsuits related to the government last year, our imperial court has already heard all the lawsuits and sent people to carefully calculate them. After calculation, the Qingzhou government needs to compensate a total of 76,437 yuan."
Having said this, Qian Yi paused for a moment and said, "According to President Zhang's judgment in Hezhong Mansion, the government still needs to compensate the corresponding interest. However, according to another case of President Zhang, if the government is really unable to repay, the corresponding interest can be exempted."
Wang Juqing chuckled, "I finally understand. You are trying to force us to restructure our debt."
Qian Yi said: "The president of this court only made a ruling according to the law. If the government is dissatisfied with the decision, it can appeal, and the imperial court can also conduct a public trial."
In fact, most of the lawsuits were not heard in public, but that was because the government provided too strong evidence, and they had previously admitted to underpaying wages and arrears of military pay, and they all pleaded guilty, so there was definitely no need for a trial.
Nowadays, a public trial means public embarrassment.
Wang Juqing waved his hand and said: "No need. Anyway, the court has issued a decree, and we can only restructure the debt."
Local finances are already very difficult. There is no surplus. The taxes here have not been collected, and the people are not allowed to continue to be exploited. Basically, all income has been cut off. More than 70,000 yuan is enough to crush Qingzhou's current finances.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fan Chunren on the side felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and said: "The transfer agent's words are wrong. Could it be that the imperial court does not issue an edict, so you can bend the law for your own gain?"
Wang Juqing just smiled slightly, then stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
This is actually a process, and everyone knows clearly that Qingzhou is required to restructure its debt, reduce officials, and save expenses.
After negotiating with Wang Juqing, the imperial court officially announced the verdict. Seventy percent of those who came to sue could win. There were still some fishermen in troubled waters, but they did not expect that the public prosecutor and the law were so careful. If the previous government, ten cases,
It will take half a year to go through the trial. There are thousands of people here, and they can still be sorted out one by one.
Of course, this is also thanks to the "cooperation" of the government.
Immediately, Ouyang Xiu announced that the Qingzhou government had too much debt and could not afford the financial burden, so it could only carry out debt restructuring.
At the same time, he also announced that he would resign as the magistrate of Qingzhou, and would also report to the emperor, requesting the imperial court to withdraw the kindness it had shown his four sons and allow them all to apply for jobs in the academy, in order to support the career law just promulgated by the imperial court.
Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Qian Yi, and Fan Chunren are all from the same group. They are very, very clean and honest and don't care about wealth. They still stick to poverty.
Ouyang Xiu took the lead in doing this, and only a few officials admired him. His resignation was actually nothing, because he had been resigning almost every year for four years, and now he finally got a legitimate opportunity.
However, he demanded that all his sons' official positions be taken back, and he asked them to apply for jobs in the academy on his father's orders, which is very admirable.
But most officials are gnashing their teeth with hatred. Are you taking the lead? No wonder you, an old man, can't get along in the court.
However, hate comes back to hate, and they gradually realize that the situation is over and there is no way to recover.
At this point, a debt restructuring that attracted nationwide attention was officially carried out in Qingzhou with great fanfare.
Although it was Ouyang Xiu who made the announcement, the actual operation was still carried out by the Transshipment Department, with Wang Juqing fully responsible.
In fact, Wang Juqing didn't know how to reorganize the debt, but Wang Anshi had already written to him. It was very simple. He calculated the annual income first and saw how many people could be left behind if everyone received a full salary.
Wang Juqing had known for a long time that 90% of his employees would be laid off.
Thinking about this amount, it is actually very scary. The gap is as much as 90%. Where will the money come from to make up for it?
This is why, if the people over there are trying to exploit the people, the military pay here must be reduced.
The principle of downsizing is also very simple. Officials in important government offices will be retained, and all the rest will be laid off, mainly officials. As for officials, they will basically remain unchanged, and salaries will be officially paid to them starting from this year.
This is also one of Wang Anshi's new methods.
The superficial reason is of course that the Business Law only applies to officials, not to officials, but in fact it is because the core of managing the state capital is still those officials, not officials. The vast majority of officials take office at the local level.
They all do not seek merit, but seek no faults.
The official's plate cannot be touched rashly, it can only be slowly replaced and rectified.
Therefore, some of the remaining officials will be assigned to the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department.
At this time, a very interesting phenomenon occurred, that is, the officials who had been desperately slandering the Public Security Bureau last year began to sing praises for the Public Security Law.
Although the Enterprise Law has been promulgated, many officials, especially those in office, are still unwilling to hand over their salaries to these enterprise agencies.
