Chapter 1778 Am I so scary?(1/2)
Guan Ning did not know that this special marriage would also cause waves in the Wei and Liang Kingdoms.
Time passed very quickly, a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already June.
This month passed very peacefully, nothing happened.
The New Deal has been gradually rolled out in local areas, and although the progress has had twists and turns, it has also continued to advance.
The implementation of the new education in the six southern states is also going smoothly, and various matters such as volunteer education are proceeding smoothly.
All reforms have made progress, which makes Guan Ning very happy.
According to statistics from various places, the sown area for spring plowing this year is larger than in previous years, and the implementation of the Farm Law has also made people more enthusiastic.
There is one more thing worth mentioning.
The plan set last year to replace tax grain with tax money has been implemented in Shangjing.
As expected by Guan Ning, corruption occurred.
Corrupt officials can always find loopholes in the system. Silver is different from silver in terms of quality, weight, wear and tear, etc.
If the silver collected is broken silver, the local government will melt the broken silver and recast it, which will also cause losses.
They levied more taxes on the grounds of loss.
Loss is fire consumption.
For example, if the tax was originally three taels, they would charge half a tael more, or if they were brave enough, they would charge one tael more.
The overcharge went into his own pocket and was divided among the handling officials.
Not only tax collection, but also tax collection also has similar problems, and they are more serious.
The difference in taxes and grain is even greater.
Naturally, old rice is different from new rice, with or without skin, due to loss during transportation, etc.
Officials will also take the opportunity to overcharge.
In fact, this has become a common practice, and the court is fully aware of it.
Therefore, there is a saying that it takes ten years to clean up the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver are paid. In this way, the taxes on the people will increase, corruption will spread, and the people will not be able to make a living.
In fact, this situation has improved a lot since Guan Ning came to the throne.
Because the tax bureau was established and tax officials were responsible for collection, local powers were weakened...
He had expected something like this to happen, so he arranged for someone to keep an eye on it, but he caught him.
Naturally, the first case was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and many people were killed.
With the help of Guan Ning, he issued a decree to return Huo Huo to the public.
This fire consumption returned to the public is different from that of Emperor Yongzheng in the previous life.
His father-in-law has returned to the public family.
The fire consumption is still collected, but it has changed from dark to bright.
In this way, more than the original tax money is collected, and the burden on the people still exists.
It only curbs corruption, and the overcharge can also be used for local finance.
However, Guan Ningding’s official losses were borne by the imperial government, which meant that there was no need to overcharge.
This is the real public.
The burden on ordinary people has not increased.
Let it benefit the people.
This is the national policy he has always pursued, especially during the period of national development.
The people are the foundation.
When the people live a better life, the country can receive more taxes.
This is complementary to each other.
Moreover, Guan Ning is already considering re-coining to form a unified standard.
In fact, money would be re-coined whenever a new emperor came to the throne.
Some emperors were okay. They usually used the money of the previous dynasty for a period of time, and then slowly took it back, or exchanged it within a certain period of time.
Some emperors directly deposed them.
Emperor Longjing did such a thing. In order to eliminate the influence of Emperor Longan, he abolished all the money minted during his reign.
In the end, it is the common people who suffer.
Ancient money was different from modern money. It was minted privately among the people and stolen.
Some feudal princes and aristocratic families have such authority.
Guan Ning has issued strict orders and carried out severe crackdowns, privately minting coins and imposing capital punishment, and centralized the power of minting coins in the central government.
This was also one of his purposes in establishing Daning Bank.
Daning Bank must play the role of a state-owned bank.
Money can only be controlled by the court.
Guan Ning hasn't figured out how to reform him yet.
Economic reform is the most difficult, especially the financial aspect.
When Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, he did not consider practical issues.
Ming Dynasty banknotes are difficult to last, and Ming Dynasty banknotes were only issued but not collected. There was no demarcation or recycling of old banknotes. There was no limit on the number of issuances. As a result, more and more banknotes were circulated in the market, flooding the market, causing inflation and demotion.
It was so serious that people abandoned it one after another, and it tended to decline in less than twenty years.
This is all historical experience.
Guan Ning is also very cautious and is discussing with Qian Dafu to find a proper solution.
The key lies in the unity of the coin.
While dealing with various matters, Guan Ning has also been paying attention to the progress of the Xinggu Canal and Anfeng Pond projects.
Anfengtang is the name of the reservoir where it was built.
After the early technical issues were resolved, the subsequent progress went smoothly.
Guan Ning also continued to pay attention and took charge of it personally.
Naturally, there is no problem of corruption.
It has been a month and a half since the construction started, and a river has appeared on the originally flat land.
With the assistance of gunpowder, manpower was greatly saved.
A month has passed, and the conscripted workers have received their first subsidy.
Half the money and half the food.
Although it's not much, it is real.
Originally they had to work even if the court didn't have to pay for it, but they still paid for it.
How many lifetimes?
Finally saw the money back.
Guan Ning also arranged to identify a few hard-working people and appoint them as model workers.
Model workers can not only receive more money, but also receive a certificate of honor.
They don't quite understand.
It was a piece of paper with a few lines written on it, but it was awarded by His Majesty You personally.
This honorary certificate is so valuable that it can be regarded as a family heirloom.
The power of role models is endless.
Guan Ning knows his way well.
After that, the enthusiasm of the workers became even higher. They were just scrambling to work, even if they were not allowed to rest.
Many people have suggested that the rest time is too long and that working hours should be extended.
They all want to be model workers.
Banners sewn from red cloth were hung on the construction site.
Even people who don't know the alphabet know what's written on it.
It has also become their biggest motivation.
Of course, there are also opportunists and sneaky people. They were also caught and made role models. Not only did they not get any money, they were also expelled.
