"This new official takes office for three fires, which is really an eternal law."

Lu Chengqing couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Han Yi's arrogant back.

Master Xu, who was standing beside him, said, "But this is not very similar to Han Yi's style, and there is no warning."

Lu Chengqing nodded and said, "This is indeed a bit abnormal, but in this way, no one can touch his bottom. Who dares to provoke him easily in the future? He has two major plans for Northwest and Tuyuhun. Today he can transfer Dong Ying and Zhou Daoxing to the northwest, and in the future, he can transfer other people to Tuyuhun."

At this time, someone from the back laughed and said, "But I think this matter is not over yet. The Zhou family and the Dong family are not easy to mess with. If these two families put out the fire, it would be a joke."

Lu and Xu turned their heads and saw that it was Du Zhenglun. They first gave a tribute. Lu Chengqing smiled and said, "But I think it's hard. Since Han Yi dared to submit that memorial, he naturally has enough confidence."

"Haha! Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Han was in the middle of his return, which is really a happy congratulation!"

Han Yi and Zhang Daxiang just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue when they heard a hearty laughter. Zheng Shanxing walked out of the house and bowed to him and said with a smile.

Unless they are in the hall, people who are more familiar with calling Han Yi Brother Han are still used to calling Han Yi.

Han Yi's face turned dark and pretended to be unhappy, saying in an official voice: "I'm talking about Master Zheng, you are really not interested. I've been back for so long and I haven't been to welcome me. Besides, it's so rare that it's a double happiness. How can I bring it with you with just one congratulations? At least one thousand and eight hundred guan is a gift."

"I have already sent this gift, but it's not a thousand eight hundred trump cards, but how can you care about this little money?" Zheng Shanxing said slowly: "As for going to congratulate me? Haha, hasn't Mr. Zhang already gone on behalf of our Ministry of Revenue? If you go in several batches, I'm afraid you can't even entertain you. Anyway, you will always see it, so why bother rushing for a while?"

Han Yi sighed and said, "If everyone thinks like you, that would be great."

Zheng Shanxing was stunned at first, then laughed.

After standing in the front yard for a while, the three of them entered the back hall and sat down.

Han Yi first told Zheng Shanxing the result of the court meeting directly, and said: "I won't explain the process in detail, but one thing is certain. The burden on our Ministry of Revenue is very heavy, because whether it is Tuyuhun or the entire northwest region, we have to take the interests to hang them first, stabilize them, and let them understand that the court is trying to help them live a good life, and our Ministry of Revenue controls the national finance. If something goes wrong, our Ministry of Revenue will be to blame."

Zhang Daxiang sounded very silly and said, "Brother Han, you can't say that. How could my family in the Ministry of Revenue make the decision on such a big deal!"

It's just a reminder to Han Yi, don't dig a hole and bury yourself! You've said that now. If something really goes wrong, why don't they push it to you?

Han Yi smiled and said, "The benefits are always accompanied by risks. You cannot expect to take away the good and leave the bad to others. This is impossible. If you want to avoid this, there is only one way, which is to prevent our Ministry of Revenue from leading the entire plan."

Zhang Daxiang smiled embarrassedly. Actually, he really didn't think so, but he couldn't say that because he knew very well that this was impossible, otherwise Han Yi wouldn't have raised it!

Can Han Yi's plan be safe to hand over to the three provinces to take charge? If something goes wrong, he will have to bear the blame. But when Han Yi saw that Zhang Daxiang was still a little nervous, he said, "But you don't worry, Tuyuhun and the northwest region are now in poverty. As long as you do a little, you may achieve great success. This clearly makes our Ministry of Revenue make contributions. However, a large piece of land in the northwest suddenly began to pay taxes, and the tax system is relatively complicated. This is a very big test for our Ministry of Revenue, especially for professional talents in this area. At present, our Ministry of Revenue is still obviously insufficient. Therefore, in the second half of this year, I plan to start the qualification examination for accounting certificates and recruit some talents to come to my Ministry of Revenue to be an official."

"Official?"

Zhang Daxiang was stunned and said, "Brother Han, all scholars want to be officials, but they don't like this official."

Han Yi smiled and said, "If this official is so easy to do, then everyone's salary will be reduced by at least half. Otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to pay the salary. Besides, true scholars are more advocating Confucianism and Taoism. Arithmetic is not what they are good at. They may not be able to pass the exam if they want to take the exam. Oh, every official below the head of the Ministry of Revenue will take the exam. Although it is not said that they will be dismissed if they fail, they will be included in their career assessment, but this is related to their career and will be included in their performance assessment, especially those officials. If they want to become regular, they must obtain this certificate, and I plan to use this qualification examination to become regular officials."

Is these two related? Zhang Daxiang is a little confused.

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Brother Han is really a businessman, he is really good at calculating!"

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "Master Zheng, what do you say?"

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Brother Han started the exam and recruited officials from the people, and used this exam to convert officials into officials. Isn't this telling everyone that this accounting qualification exam is not as simple as getting a certificate, and it can make people take a big step forward. This is hard to come by for ordinary people."

There is a hurdle between the people and the officials, especially the officials of the Ministry of Revenue. No matter what, they are dealing with money, so they have to speak more slowly when going out. There is another hurdle between officials and officials. This exam can make you qualitatively change. So who dares to ignore this qualification exam? It is very difficult not to become popular.

Zhang Daxiang also suddenly reacted and said, "But Brother Han, this official can't be transferred by just saying that he can transfer it. Even if we can find a way, there are only so many places in the Ministry of Revenue."

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, Brother Han said just now that there was a large piece of land in the northwest, which requires a lot of talents in this area. I believe that Shangshu Han will definitely send some people from the Ministry of Revenue to the northwest, so many places will naturally be vacant."

Zhang Daxiang suddenly realized and nodded and said, "Yes, yes, why did I ignore this?"

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "This matter is settled."

Zhang Daxiang smiled and said, "You are the new official and you have taken office for three fires. We dare to say no."

After saying that, the three of them burst into laughter.

Han Yi said again: "By the way, the information collected is taken to me to see, oh, and the treasury revenue last year."

Zhang Daxiang was stunned at first, and then realized that Han Yi had to collect information from the people he sent to inspect, and immediately sent someone to send the information to him.

Han Yi first picked out some financial reports from various places in a targeted manner and asked while reading them: "Have you read this information?"

Zhang Daxiang and Zheng Shanxing nodded at the same time.

Han Yi said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "I won't tell you this anymore? There are just some small problems. As long as you continue to maintain this momentum, it will be very good."

Zheng Shanxing lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

Han Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Master Zheng may say something directly. It's only the three of us here. After this, everyone can refuse to admit it."

"ah?"

Zhang Daxiang looked at Han Yi in surprise. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like the Minister of Revenue!

Zheng Shanxing said: "I think although the current financial situation is very good, there is a hidden danger that we have to pay attention to."

Han Yi asked: "What hidden danger?"

"Rent-in-one regulation!" Zheng Shan said.

Zhang Daxiang was shocked. This was a national policy and said, "Master Zheng, what's the problem with this rent-in-one regime?"

Zheng Shanxing glanced at Han Yi and saw that his eyes were still on the information, he did not express much surprise. He understood it in his heart, so he said: "Since ancient times, all dynasties have collected taxes based on population. The reason why our dynasty's rent system was successful is because of the equal-field system. The biggest feature of the equal-field system is that everyone's land is the same, so everyone naturally has to pay the same tax.

However, these information has already shown that this is not the case. First of all, in the early days of our establishment, not all the land was state-owned. Take my Zheng family for example. There were a lot of land in my Zheng family, and a lot of land was owned by privately owned, and the land they owned was far higher than the land limited by the equal-field system. Secondly, many people's land was annexed, or people living in narrow villages received much less land than the prescribed land grant, but they paid as much tax as those big landlords.

Our dynasty has always advocated the idea of ​​light taxes and low taxes. If we look at the equal land system, it is indeed light taxes and low taxes, but the fact is not the case. For those people with little land, this tax can be heavy taxes. Moreover, as the land in the hands of the court decreases and the ambition of annexation will cause great harm to the country. Our Ministry of Revenue cannot be content with the status quo. We should make up for it before the problem arises."

Zhang Daxiang hurriedly said, "Master Zheng, this is just a few. If it were true as Master Zheng said, the world would have been in chaos."

Zheng Shanxing said: "But compared with previous years, this trend has obviously worsened and should be stopped in time."

Zhang Daxiang looked at Han Yi and said, "Brother Han, the equal-field system and rent-in-one system are the national policies of our dynasty, and we cannot act rashly!"

If you want to light this fire, it is not the three fires that the new official takes office, but the fire burns itself. In this world, is it that Zheng Shanxing knows that this is unfair? Anyone who is not blind knows that, but who is protecting the interests of the ruling class? If you want to change, you are hurting the interests of the ruling class. Can this be done?

Han Yi finally put down the information, looked up at the two of them, and smiled: "What both of you said is very reasonable. The equal-field system and the rent-in-law system are the foundation of our country. How can we change it easily? However, Zheng Zheng's words are indeed reasonable. Although we do not say that we seek change, we have to be careful. Therefore, I think our Ministry of Revenue should strengthen inspections in various places, find ways to stop the spread of this situation, and do our best to maintain the equal-field system and the rent-in-law system."

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "This is feasible."

Zheng Shanxing nodded, actually, everyone knows this. If it is so easy to change, it will have changed long ago. He just wants to tell Han Yi this point and hopes that Han Yi's wisdom can be changed. If Han Yi doesn't do this, he can understand. If you let him change, he doesn't have the courage to say, and he said: "Brother Han is right, but I think that letting the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate jointly inspect the Ministry of Revenue will have better results. First of all, both sides can supervise each other. Then the Censorate has the responsibility of supervising officials and has the supervision censor on the side to supervise, so our people can get more information."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I think so too, so I plan to send people to jointly inspect the Censorate every year."

Just then, I suddenly heard someone say outside the door: "Shilarious Minister Zhang, Liu Zhuan of Guanglu Temple is here."

Zhang Daxiang hurriedly said, "I almost forgot to have an appointment with Zhuzhu Liu to discuss something."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Then you go, I will stay in the Ministry of Revenue today anyway. Oh, by the way, I will give you a treat tonight and reward everyone."

Zhang Daxiang nodded with a smile, and then went out.
Chapter completed!
