Courtyard!
Han Jiang didn't understand why his father had almost controlled the court, so why did he say that the trouble came from the court.
Qian Hao nodded: "Master, I counted it once half a year ago. There were 47,649 officials from both sides and outside the court. This is not considered a share salary, at most one share a share a share of ten."
Damn it.
Han Jiang cursed in his heart.
He understood this. The officials in the Song Dynasty had a variety of ranks, including scattered ranks, original officials, dispatches, lords, fiefs, and posts. Just talking about the number of officials in the capital was as many as 42.
Qian Hao asked: "Master, how can I decide on this matter?"
Han Jiang shook his head: "The salaries of officials are paid by the court, not by me. I don't care. From now on, let us tell our people, Wancheng, Lintao, Jingzhao and other places, we implement our official standards, pay our salaries and collect our taxes."
"Master, where elsewhere?"
Han Jiang replied: "After restructuring, implementing the new law, and fully implementing the new law, officials will evaluate the court according to our rules, and then merge one state, one prefecture, and one county, and those useless things will be handled just by looking at them. We do not recognize the matters of Yinxiang, and those who have not made any efforts are not qualified to discuss titles and honors again."
Qian Hao really wants to persuade him.
According to Han Jiang's approach, at most, the officials in Lin'an Prefecture will go crazy by the end of the year.
Because the treasury of the Song Dynasty had no money to pay salaries to these officials.
In the 80th year of the founding of the Song Dynasty, by the time of Emperor Zhenzong, all the officials totaled no more than 10,000, and more than 8,000 were truly in real positions, and a few were receiving empty positions and salary.
At that time, there were still many lands in the north in the Song Dynasty.
But at present, in the Lin'an era, there were nearly 40,000 officials. Many yamen were trapped by people and officials. Not to mention the number of redundant officials, just those who don't work and white-collar workers' money would be close to 20,000.
At that time, Li Fengniang's family could even give a groom an eighth-rank official, and they had countless titles to ask for.
Qian Hao didn't persuade him, and he thought to himself, he would not be able to solve this matter without taking ruthless measures. According to his lord's current approach, people will definitely die by the end of the year.
And it will die a lot.
But Qian Hao persuaded another thing.
"The Lord, there is another expenditure, very, very huge, and this money will be spent."
"What's the money?"
"According to the calculations of the Ministry of Works, the imperial tombs of the current government require at least 150,000 laborers, 1.5 billion yuan in money, 250,000 pieces of silk, and 800,000 taels of silver. In addition, the current reincarnation of the Supreme Emperor, if the money for the tombs is calculated using silver, it will not be less than 10 million taels, and 270,000 taels of labor."
Two hundred and seventy thousand workers.
One work means one work hard for a day.
Han Jiangxin said that 270,000 labor is enough to open up one million acres of land by himself.
Han Jiang was about to say something, but Qian Hao said again: "Also, the official family's suburbs' sacrifice once a year and a small sacrifice once a year. According to the cost of going there, the large sacrifice should cost 13 million."
Han Jiang asked, "What's one thousand three million?"
"cord."
A piece of money is one thousand coins, which is converted into silver, which is another million taels.
Han Jiang reached out and held his forehead. The money was really unfair and he didn't want to spend it.
But this is not over yet.
Qian Hao said again: "According to the law, although the number of members of the royal family is not too many. However, according to the law, the imperial court will give a certain amount of monthly money when the royal family is five years old. In addition, there will be rewards for marriage, birthday and other major events. This money is quite large."
Han Jiang asked: "A lot of them are. Give me a real number, wait a moment, and let me breathe and take my breath slowly."
Han Jiang got up and walked a few steps, drank another glass of water, and then let Qian Hao say it.
Qian Hao said: "Last year, the imperial court's military expenditure, bureaucrats and royal family were equally important, and the expenditure was almost the same. It accounted for about 80% of the imperial court's annual expenditure."
Han Jiang became angry after hearing this. The army of the court also deducted the military expenses of Pingjiang Prefecture and the military expenses of Jiankang Prefecture. It took such a lot of time for the Pojun to spend so many years.
wrong.
Han Jiang rethinks these expenses.
It can be said that the annual expenditure of the Song Dynasty court was embezzled by the army a large part of the annual expenditure, and then it spent the salaries of officials, as well as the expenditures of various royal activities.
This huge amount of money was just used to make water piao, and there was no sound.
No, this won't work.
Han Jiang picked up three invitations: "Give me some instructions and go to Li Ji's place first."
"yes."
Qian Hao said everything he needed to remind him, and the decision was made by Han Jiang.
Qian Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, at least Han Jiang did not go to the royal family first.
Half an hour later, Li Zhi's mansion.
Li Zhi has hired musicians, chefs, and dancers.
Han Jiang arrived, and Li Zhi greeted him at the door.
Han Jiang smiled and bowed to the main hall, then took Li Yan's hand.
After sitting down, Han Jiang smiled and said, "Today is the Hongmen Banquet. I'm afraid the wine of Taiguojiu is not good. If you have anything to say, we won't break up anyway."
"I dare not, I dare not, I have something to ask for."
Li Jing had a very good attitude, and Han Jiang didn't say anything, so he directly ordered a banquet.
After drinking, my third uncle.
Li Jing then said, "Zhao Ruyu caused my Li family to suffer a serious crime and lost a lot of property. Later, he worked with Zhao Linde on some cloth business and did not make any money. However, the official gave some rewards to the family, so that only the family could have food. However, in this new law, just the tax supplement, my family had to sell land and houses to make up for the shortage of new taxes."
Han Jiang asked: "I want me to exempt you from taxes?"
Li Jing waved his hand quickly: "No, no..."
"Can't help?"
"No, no." Li Jing waved his hand straight, but a young man was anxious: "My Li family is a royal relative, how can he be bullied? The little tax collector dared to look at the face of the uncle's mansion. Is there any other way to the king? Today, my Li family wants to ask for an explanation."
Li Qi didn't even stop him, but his nephew poured out his words.
Han Jiang smiled and picked up the wine glass.
Li Jingxin said, since the words had been said, there was definitely no way to take them back, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, you want our Li family to do whatever you want. Hundreds of people in the Li family want to have dinner, and the servants, servants, and maids are also a livelihood of thousands. If you say that, my Li family also has a grand empress, and you always have to take care of this face."
Li Ji's words were pleas.
He was willing to meet Han Jiang's request in exchange for the wealth and glory of his Li family.
Han Jiang shook his head: "To be honest, how much money is there in the imperial warehouse? I believe my brother should know that if the prefectures did not send silver, cloth, silk, and grain this year, I am afraid that the court would not even pay the salaries of officials by the end of the year. So, what do you mean is, let me take the money to support you, a family?"
"No, don't dare."
