He is a subordinate official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The subordinate staff are not high-ranking, but they are very important. The subordinate staff in the household department are called masters, and what they do is accounting and financial management.

Most of the officials in the imperial court were Jinshi and civil servants, and they were competent in governing the country and formulating strategies, but they lacked relevant experience in this area because they were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

This shows the importance of subordinate staff.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of national land taxes, tariffs and other financial and accounting matters. It has a lot of accounting work, and only subordinate staff can do these things.

From this we can see their importance. Every subordinate who is proficient in calculation is a treasure of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He Jifeng is such a talent.

Guan Ning once worked in the household department, and there were several subordinate officials who cooperated with him, and He Jifeng was one of them.

At that time, I had a deep impression on this person, and he was promoted and reused later on.

Since the collection of commercial taxes in Beijing, there has been a lot of accounting work, and He Jifeng was transferred there and made a splash.

He was able to quickly understand the various tax policies formulated by Guan Ning, and he was able to complete them very well. He gradually took charge of the government and was now appointed as the first director of the General Administration of Taxation.

From a fifth-grade official to a third-grade official.

The point is not him.

It's about the major changes that are coming.

Just in the thoughts of all the ministers.

Guan Ning then said: "The imperial court collects taxes and grains. The process is complicated and the losses are serious. After collecting a hundred shi, only half of it reaches the household department in Beijing. I believe all ministers and ministers understand this situation."

Any official who can go to the Fengtian Palace to participate in the court meeting is not a seasoned official. How could he not know the twists and turns involved?

"Therefore, I have decided that from now on, we will implement the policy of replacing taxes and grains with silver taels in the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Shangjing."

Guan Ning said: "With the same price as tax, a lot of unnecessary and cumbersome processes can be reduced, and a lot of manpower can be saved."

"Relevant laws and regulations will be formulated and announced as soon as possible, and they will be implemented accordingly."

When all the ministers heard this, they were all startled.

This is really a big change.

And there is still great feasibility.

After harvesting the grain, farmers can sell it themselves, and after selling the grain, they can use the money to pay taxes.

This can also promote the development of grain trade and make money and grain circulate freely.

Of course, the most important thing is to curb corruption by officials from the source.

After all, the amount of silver is the same, and it will not be lost like food.

This is His Majesty's consistent style.

It will be implemented first in Beijing as a pilot. The system will be improved in the process, deficiencies will be discovered and improved, and then promoted on a large scale...

In the future, the tax bureau will be solely responsible for tax matters, and it will be difficult for others to intervene, which will also affect the interests of some people.

An official wants to give advice.

But Guan Ning didn't give them a chance at all, and immediately said: "In addition to the General Administration of Taxation, a new General Administration of Commerce will be established."

"The General Administration of Commerce is responsible for all commercial and trade activities, including the supervision, approval, supervision and other matters of various stores."

The matter of establishing the General Administration of Taxation has not yet been digested, and a new surprise immediately occurred.

Today’s court meeting is full of surprises!

This is another new department.

Responsible for all commercial and trade management, he has great power. Looking back carefully, there are already some signs of this.

Not long after the founding of the new dynasty, His Majesty announced that he would begin to collect commercial taxes in Shangjing, and all walks of life in Shangjing were exempted.

As long as it is a business activity, taxes must be paid.

To this end, various measures have been formulated to make it more standardized, and a business license has also been issued.

Anyway, it’s a new rule.

Guan Ning said: "The purpose of the Commerce Department is to make all businesses more standardized. The main purpose is not to restrict its development, but to promote its development..."

This was an idea he had long ago.

In this era, agriculture was still the mainstay, supplemented by commerce.

Even in developed countries there are limits.

The purpose of establishing the General Administration of Commerce is to unify management and centralize deployment.

"The General Administration of Commerce is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is the third-level government office!"

This level is the same as that of the Taxation Administration.

The power is also not small, and it is a truly powerful department.

"The imperial court has a General Administration of Commerce, and it should also be established at the local level."

Guan Ning said: "The chief official of the General Administration of Commerce is Ji Fu."

He stated the appointment directly.

This name is even stranger than He Jifeng just now, I have never heard of it.

However, a few people still know that this man was once the shopkeeper of the largest branch of Guan's company.

After the founding of the new dynasty, Dakang Bank was established, and Jifu became the deputy shopkeeper. This time he had a new position.

With the General Administration of Commerce, commerce has been taken into our own hands. Some people will benefit, while others will naturally lose.

Everyone was still immersed in it and thinking.

This change is really big.

The establishment of two new government agencies was something they had never thought of. It had been like this for many years and it had not changed.

Now two more yamen with real power have emerged out of thin air.

And they are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

The power of the Ministry of Accounts is even greater!

As worthy of being the head of the state, Your Majesty is trustworthy, and the household department has become the largest department.

Many people are thinking about this at this moment.

The Xue family and his son are awesome.

Those who serve as ministers in the same palace are all highly respected ministers and occupy high positions.

Xue Qing's face was calm, without the slightest hint of shock, and he was obviously already aware of the situation.

Looking at Xue Huairen again, his eyes were closed, his hands were bowed in front of him, and he didn't know where he was wandering.

Xue Huairen is old.

At his age, I'm afraid he may not be able to support his position as first assistant.

The chief minister of the cabinet is busy every day, and when he reaches his age, he simply does not have so much energy.

Not many people who are extremely popular ministers can end up well.

Look how powerful Xue Huairen is.

From the previous dynasty to now, the position has become more and more stable. There are not many people who can reach this level.

But it’s okay not to accept it.

His ability to take sides is too clever.

Standing in line in advance and establishing support is just one of them. How can others have such foresight?

If so, there may be a chance to compare.

But there is one thing that cannot be compared.

The Xue family has many daughters.

The seven daughters of the Xue family are as beautiful as flowers.

Three people have already entered the palace as concubines, which no one can compare with...

People are more infuriating than others.

They were thinking that someone was ready to give advice again, but Guan Ning didn't give them a chance.

"In addition to these two items, I also want to announce a decree. To be precise, I am repealing a decree!"

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "From now on, the coal ban imposed by Emperor Xizong of the previous dynasty will be completely lifted. Mining coal in kilns will not be restricted, and private mining will be encouraged. Coal will no longer be strictly controlled by the imperial court!"

After returning from Dongdaying, he had this idea.

Now it has been officially announced.

Only by lifting the coal ban can the mining and application of coal be truly developed, thereby driving the development of the entire country.

These are all complementary to each other.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Before Guan Ning could finish his words, some court officials immediately stood up to object.
Chapter completed!
