Chapter 288 Economy and Party Struggle (19) Irreplaceability
Nanning Hou Gao pragmatic, a bachelor of Zhongji Palace and the Minister of Household Affairs, has been closed to thank guests for ten days, and the trend of impeachment of Xin School officials has magically disappeared. However, even though the emperor has issued seventeen consecutive sentences in these ten days,
The decree asked Yuan Fu to return to the pavilion to take care of matters, but Gao was still pragmatic and refused to go out "carefully". On the eighth day, he even went to his Jianshinzhai Villa in the north of the city to inspect the Jinghua Craftsman School.
Now the court is in chaos, especially the two elders of the cabinet, Zhao Zhigao and Zhou Yong, who ask the Chief of Ceremonies to report to the emperor every day, saying that if Yuan Fu does not return to the cabinet, the cabinet will no longer be able to assist the government.
It stands to reason that as long as there is a cabinet minister working in the cabinet, there should not be such an outrageous situation as "unable to assist the administration". Because from the normal power operation process, the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other executive departments will
Put forward a "ministerial proposal", that is, a handling opinion. If the cabinet really doesn't work, you can just copy the ministry proposal. Why is it "unable to assist the administration"?
However, it was okay to do this in the past, but it seems that it is really not possible now. Zhu Yijun has heard Zhao Zhigao and Zhou Yong say it many times these days. Nowadays, many things are handled by high pragmatism, and there is no precedent in the past. The Sixth Department does not know what to do next.
What to do? I don’t know how to deal with the situation - if the current handling is not in line with Yuan Fu’s vision, when Yuan Fu comes back, who will take the blame? So for these matters, the ministry discussion has become "nothing"
You can follow the example, but ask for the Holy Judgment."
Of course, "Holy Judgment" is just talking. Everything is ruled by Holy Judgment, so why does the cabinet need to do this? But the problem is that the Eight Departments dare to mess around, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Yong also dare to mess around, so before their eyes widen,
It’s really just a matter of “asking for the Holy Judgment” directly.
Then, the pressure came to Ruan Yichun. My style is actually very similar to that of Low Pragmatist. In essence, we only set small directions and take care of specific matters. From now on, Low Pragmatic will handle those specific matters.
I did find it difficult to do it. However, now I have given up my choice and a small pile of specific tasks are placed in front of me. I am dumbfounded when I look at them - what are they, I can do them too!
For example, take the tax reform issue that has been going on for years. Although low pragmatism has already made clear the small direction, it will make some major adjustments every year based on the actual financial situation. Those "major adjustments" may not directly adjust the overall tax rate, but
It is not possible to adjust the collection ratio, nor is it possible to adjust the collection sequence.
It’s not difficult to understand. For example: Especially in the Jiangnan area, which is the most important tax source for the imperial court, it is usually collected in the first wave. However, Jiangnan is not prone to disasters this year, and some places are exempted from taxes by the imperial court.
In some places, taxes have been reduced by the imperial court, while in other places, taxes have been urgently levied - for example, if you pay more this year or if you pay more, you will have to pay it back the year before next year or even longer.
In this way, you will pay a smaller amount this year, a much smaller amount next year, a much smaller amount the year before... Which county will pay first, or the county next door, each will pay a smaller amount, etc. How can we adjust the collection ratio and collection sequence in those cases?
Since the tax law reform has been pragmatic and responsible from the beginning to the end, the "all-inclusive consideration" thing is just pragmatic and has no brain or planning. Others, including the seven ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, all know it, or they all know it.
It is very comprehensive, so as long as the low level is pragmatic, others are simply top-notch. Looking at the income and expenditure statement, all Monk Zhangqi is scratching his head.
"Chen Ju!" Zhao Zhigao made up his mind and asked, "Where is Rixin now?"
That’s great!
The "sea" has no clear function. If too much is collected, the supplies of the Western Expeditionary Army will be enough to defeat the battle. Therefore, the small strategy of sending troops to regain the Western Regions for the first time in hundreds of years will be frustrated. Who dares to carry such a small person?
White pot?

Gao Gong thought that it would be very difficult. There was a small chance that the county magistrate would increase taxes year after year, and at the same time weaken and suppress the voices of local people. In the end, instead of achieving results in the next few years, a civil commotion would break out before the critical value was reached.
"Get ready, I'm going to see Xinzhai." Zhao Zhigao gritted his teeth and said, "Today I invite Rixin back, and I'll sleep here!"
At that point, the cabinet and various ministries were all panicked. Even Zhao Zhigao was panicked. He felt that he must be pragmatic and wait a few days before returning to the cabinet to take care of matters. He was afraid that the entire court would be shut down - although it seemed small.
Everyone in the family is as busy as a fly with one head, but the actual operation of the court has not stopped.
Raising prices to remove inventory? This can only be achieved after no one injects a small amount of liquidity into the market. Does Xiao Ming have this ability now? Xiao Ming's currency is a credit currency and a precious metal. He has to dig for that stuff.
, to obtain it through trade with the Spaniards and Japanese, it can be "injected" if you want.
In other words, if local officials want to be evaluated well, in addition to the eternal indicator of maintaining stability, they must also focus on "GDP growth." As Gao Pragmatic mentioned to Gao Gong eighty years later: a bad
The county magistrate wants to keep local taxes rising year after year, but the people will complain.
As for what he said, we can't just focus on the expenses of the Western Expedition. Is it okay to treat disaster relief and relief as expenses that cannot be adjusted? That's okay, because disaster relief and relief have not yet been included in the examination scope of the examination method, especially
Is it because he caused a wave of refugees in his local area that led to a civil commotion? This was a fatal blow to officials taking exams.

PS: In the last two days, I had too much free time to read the History of Napoleon's War to accumulate some knowledge for my previous book (I was going to write about European travel), but I was too addicted to read it and delayed a little update... Well, the New Year is over now.
Rolled back and the recovery was abnormal.
In short, after decades of economic reform, Xiao Ming's economic model is now in a period of small change, and the person who controls the direction of change is the only pragmatic person in the entire court. However, finance is the basis for the operation of a court, and now
Being pragmatic and giving up the challenge, the whole court soon fell into chaos.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Ming set the commercial tax during Zhu Yijun's period was so high that it was almost negligible, and the source of his thinking also comes from that - Zhu Yijun collected commercial tax, and I also collected it, but I think that once the commercial tax is collected, it will
If there is less, prices will immediately rise, because businessmen are the most cunning, and we are willing to suffer losses, so in the end it is the common people who are unlucky. Therefore, I lowered the commercial tax again and again, and finally Xiao Ming’s commercial tax became
A useless thing.
Chen Juda replied carefully: "Back to the emperor, Yuan Fu is still meeting Xinzhai."
In other words, his cabinet and the Eight Ministries dare to withhold the disaster relief funds that local officials should have received. This person really dares to jump on his feet and curse others. Is the examination method changing year by year? Is this right?
The pressure from local officials will in turn force the central government's attitude towards doing things. In general, not all small families can only be more tolerant day by day, and the scope that cannot be "adjusted" is getting wider day by day.
The following only talks about taxation. In fact, the concept of "finance" is smaller than "taxation". Since Gao Pragmatic took charge of financial power, the Xiao Ming court has not gradually changed from the "as long as the people are rebelling" in the typical feudal society to "
"Developing social productive forces" is too much.
He said, is it okay to start with small things and deal with them first? Based on experience, is it also okay to make some minor adjustments to the income and expenditure statement? It is really okay, because this year's expenses are huge, and everyone knows that "Baichuan" is special
The trickles of tax revenue should eventually merge into a small "sea".
Zhao Zhigao sat still for the first time. I felt that Low Pragmatic must have made up his mind that time, and he could fool him into returning to Wenyuan Pavilion after work without even using "gentle words of encouragement" and "strict orders to return to the pavilion". He had to go out.
Heavy punch...ah, yes, I have to go and invite him in person. If I give him enough face, Nixin really dares to give me a long vacation!
In other words, ordinary people do not have much money at hand, so they determine the price at which their goods can be sold. If the goods are sold at a high price, they will have to lower the price; if they are sold out as soon as they are on the market, they will raise the price.
Thanks to book friends "Yun Fuyue Yu" and "doni" for their monthly support, thank you!
However, Zhu Yijun still understands that even if he waives all business taxes, merchants will still lower their prices because of it. But because the emperor cares about the people, we will follow him to care for the people. How reasonable should the price be set? This is a market behavior.
What can affect it is actually market purchasing power.
That is not the typical thinking of feudal society, and it is difficult to escape from it even if you are low-key, because in our eyes, social productivity is constant, and if he collects less taxes, it will only increase the burden on the people.
