Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Second: Introducing the King to Weng(2/2)
In doing so, it indeed stabilized the imperial power and weakened the power of the prime minister. Moreover, the two teams could check each other and elbow each other. Moreover, many officials only took money and did nothing, which can be regarded as a happy ending. The so-called Song Dynasty supported hundreds of scholars.
Year, that’s what it means.
But it costs money to support officials, and the treatment of officials in the Song Dynasty was much better than that of any previous dynasty. Where did the money come from? It was naturally collected from the common people. The burden on the common people can be imagined.
Know.
Not only did it support officials, the Song Dynasty also maintained a large group of Xiang troops who basically had no useful life.
The so-called Xiang Army actually means that the imperial court uses money to support the refugees caused by various things such as land loss and famine, and takes them in to prevent them from causing trouble.
And this is another huge expense.
Of course Xiao Cheng would not do such a thing again.
Even if he had money, he would use it to improve people's livelihood, strengthen military armaments, and prepare for the Northern Expedition to regain his homeland. How could he use it to support these idle idlers?
Of course, such a restructuring will inevitably affect the interests of countless people, especially scholars. The backlash in the future can be imagined.
Therefore, Xiao Cheng must first use greater interests to trap those powerful guys and let them dance with him.
As long as these people are on your side, those guys who only take money but don't do anything and have no strength are not worth mentioning.
Posts were set up due to events, and the official and salary-paying officers were combined into one.
Anyway, there is a saying: the new imperial court does not support idlers.
When you get a piece of money, you have to do a piece of work and bear a piece of responsibility.
The Federation will become the main decision-making body under the emperor, and the Six Ministries will become specific administrative agencies, and the Six Ministries will correspond to the Six Cao Cao in the prefectures and counties. This detailed plan for restructuring is only available to the few present today.
People just know it.
Only after the new emperor formally ascends the throne, the new imperial court is formally established, and begins to assume the responsibility of managing the world, will this restructuring document be announced to the world.
Defend Xiangyang, defend the two Huaihe Rivers, and then work hard in the south to improve people's livelihood, develop the economy, and strengthen military armaments. Finally, we can talk about the Northern Expedition.
Now, it is an indisputable fact that the Liao Kingdom has an absolute advantage.
Everyone has to admit this.
The Liao Kingdom had its problems, but now the south is also full of problems.
