The advice to be exempted from official service is shocking.

The official-oriented thinking for thousands of years has made officials work hard on the people if they lack anything, and they feel that it is natural to take them.

If there is no military service and it is changed to recruitment, what else can the government instruct the people to do?

The monarch and ministers in the temple are pondering.

Zhao Xu was already a little impatient, "After changing to the recruitment system, the people will live and work in peace and concentrate on farming. Isn't this good?"

Of course this is good.

Zhao Shu all thought it was very good, but there was a problem.

“Where does the money recruited come from?”

The three envoys Han Jiang felt that he would be forced to death by the prince sooner or later. He sighed: "There are many people in the Song Dynasty every year. If they are exempted from all the people and recruited, the money they need will be amazing!"

Where does this big money come from?

Zhao Shu sighed in his heart, feeling that his son was a little impulsive, but at least he had a good idea. Forget it, find a way out for him.

"This matter..."

"Your Majesty, you're not short of money!" Zhao Xu said confidently: "I have asked those rich families. They hate the servants, but they cannot avoid it..."

Damn it!

Chen An swears that he never told Zhao Xu about this.

Is this what he figured out by himself?

Chen An was thinking about the past and present of the exemption money, but he was not very impressed, but he remembered that Wang Anshi's new policies were criticized, and exemption money was also included.

Why are they criticized?

He doesn't know.

"I suggest collecting exemption money." Zhao Xu said loudly: "But all the poor families are exempted and only collected from wealthy families."

Chen An suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "Is it enough if I only come from a wealthy family?"

Zhao Xu said: "If it is not enough, the court will provide subsidies."

Chen An understood that this guy planned to rob the rich and help the poor.

Yes.

If the exemption money is collected according to the household registration, it will become more and more difficult for those poor families.

How did those people in history attack Wang Anshi’s exemption money?

There must be a saying that harms the country and the people.

But how can this policy harm the country and the people?

Chen An doesn't know.

But Zhao Xu simply and roughly avoided the civilians and directly robbed the rich and helped the poor.

The financial situation in the Song Dynasty at this moment was much better than when Wang Anshi was innovating, so he naturally had the confidence to save money for exemption from service.

Zhao Shu said: "If only rich households are accepted, will the rich households be willing?"

"I'm definitely not willing to give up." Zhao Xu said: "But Your Majesty, this poor man in the Song Dynasty has no place to stand, and the rich are arrogant and extravagant. The rich are richer and the poor are poorer. This should have been a reconciliation. I think it's just right to exempt the money from servitude."

There were really many rich people in the Song Dynasty, such as Bianliang, countless restaurants and brothels, and countless luxury.

"Can you use the money to adjust the gap between the rich and the poor?" Chen An smiled.

This is similar to the personal income tax in later generations.

The more you have money, the more tax you pay.

Han Jiang said: "There are many places where the Song Dynasty has a shortage of money, what's the use of just staring at this place?"

As the Sansi Envoy, he was looking at the overall situation, so this is correct.

Zhao Xu looked at him and said seriously: "The Song Dynasty was short of money everywhere, such as raising countless officials to spend money, raising countless troops to spend money, and all kinds of inexplicable expenses to spend money... But who has ever asked the people if they are short of money?"

The three redundant things in the Song Dynasty are ultimately serving the huge vested interests.

Everyone used to shout that they were so powerful that they would not eliminate the three redundant things, and the Song Dynasty would never have a day to revive.

What can be acted upon?

To clear the three redundant means cutting your own flesh. Who wants to?

So the taxes paid by the people still flowed to those bottomless pits.

Everyone was numb.

Today, Zhao Xu asked a question with a deafening look.

——Who asked the people if they have a difference in money?

You keep saying that the Song Dynasty is short of money everywhere, and if you have short of money, you will reach out to the people, regardless of their lives or death.

Do you know that the people have lost money?

Have you ever taken care of it?

Han Jiang bowed, "I am guilty."

Although he felt that Zhao Xu's words were inappropriate, he felt ashamed.

As the envoy of the Three Divisions, he habitually forgot the sufferings of the people and only knew how to pay taxes...

Today, Zhao Xu's problem made his spine hot and his cheeks blushed.

Han Qi sighed, "The king is kind. This is a great kindness."

Zhao Shu also nodded and said, "The people are not enough, I am ashamed."

The people's lives are sad, and this is the king's sin.

Zeng Gongliang said: "But those rich families will be willing to do so? Will they collude with officials and turn themselves into inferior households?"

This is inevitable.

Zhao Xu said: "Zeng Xiang's words are reasonable. I am thinking about one thing. If we want to innovate the Song Dynasty, what is the most necessary thing to do? What I think of is the administration of officials."

"No matter how good the idea is, the new policy is considered by the people, but what will happen next?" Shen An talked about this question a lot, and Zhao Xu was deeply impressed.

Shen An even compared the administration of officials to the decisive factor in the success or failure of the new policy.

——The officials below are slanderous and disobeying, and all new policies are nonsense!

All nonsense!

As he said too much, Zhao Xu was naturally deeply influenced.

"Those officials will disobey their own actions, and even stab in the back for different political views... How can the new policy be achieved?"

Shen An wanted to laugh.

Lao Wang's new policy failed, and officials' stubbornness and stabbing at least half of the credit.

"So I think that if I want to revive the Song Dynasty, the first priority is to govern the government."

Make officials obedient or force them to obey.

This is what Zhao Xu wants to express.

Zhao Shu asked, "What's your solution?"

“Supervised!”

There is really no good way to do this, it is only possible to create an environment with supervised supervision.

"I suggest expanding the scale of the Censorate, recruit more Censors, and each office will place two Censors, and they will be rotated every year. They are not allowed to be in one place for more than one year, so that they can avoid being bribed..."

Is it that if one mansion releases two censors, is it about focusing on the officials' work?

Too cruel, right?

Shen An laughed, gloating.

The Song Dynasty was so nice to the officials. Now Zhao Xu has come to take off the firewood and let people watch you work. What should I do?

Want to cry?

Ha ha ha ha!

Shen An was holding back his laughter.

Han Qi and others looked at each other.

Is this king too cruel?

"If these censors cannot find out the illegitimate situation, they will be dereliction of duty."

Zhao Xu added another sentence.

Han Qi smiled bitterly.
