He specifically talked about the section on the literary inquisition that Shi Miyuan rose up. Not only prisoners in Sichuan and Shaanxi should be pardoned, but those outside Sichuan and Shaanxi should also be pardoned cleanly and thoroughly.

The new Song Kingdom inherited the previous dynasty and should have been amnesty nationwide and the places where the sun shines should be known.

He asked Yueqiao to publish it in the newspaper and announce it to the world.

Then, Lao Cao's military industry proposed a list of military expenses. Ding Fu's eyes suddenly became bigger when he saw it, which was simply an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, the tax was not yet taken to Lin'an, and the court fell, otherwise Chengdu would not be able to operate at all.

Everyone at the table was talking, and Zhao Xiaobing picked up his teacup and savored the tea carefully.

After everyone calmed down, Cao Youwen explained: In the past, most of the military expenditure of the new army was self-financing. Now that the country has been established, it must be included in the unified income and expenditure.

Zhao Xiaobing took over and continued to state: "This is why I handed over the development of Jianwei Coal Mine to the country. In the past, General Cao and I did it themselves. If we make a profit, we will use the money to support the soldiers. In the long run, we will not become personal private soldiers."

He explained again: "This year, taking the opportunity to expand the army and guard the border and stabilize the border defense is the general trend. Therefore, military expenditure is huge, and all the income from Luocheng's finance and taxation will be collected next year, and there will be a surplus in the overall situation."

After hearing this, the stone in his heart slowly fell into his stomach.

Next was the Ministry of Rites’ proposal for sacrifice, and everyone agreed.

Zhao Xiaobing said that the main work of the Ministry of Rites in the future is to focus on cultural and ideological education and scientific research. He cited new methods such as farming and new inventions of farming tools to reduce the labor burden of farmers, increase farming area and increase income, and release the excess population to engage in handicraft production to obtain benefits. In this cycle, the country will have more taxes.

He suggested that the Ministry of Rites organize an imperial examination to discover talents and collect talents from all over the world for use by the New Song Kingdom.

When it comes to education, everyone likes the imperial examinations and discusses it enthusiastically. Li Zhi even nods. As soon as these ideas came out, they all agreed and passed them unanimously.

Finally, Ding Fu's issue on salary, and everyone turned their attention to Zhao Xiaobing.

He took a sip of tea and said, "First of all, the people we are sitting here. Everyone is the head of the family. Which one is short of money? Of course, it is not short of us. Of course, we are far inferior to the wealthy businessmen in Chengdu." Several people laughed.

He continued: "But we are not businessmen. We have the people in our hearts and work for the people. Song Taizu set high salaries to raise integrity, but since the founding of the country, it is still corrupt and has not raised integrity." Several people stopped talking.

He continued: "Now we will start with us, receive the salary of the former Shangshu, and do the major affairs of our country today. Can it be?"

He motivated the emotions of several people on the table, and one after another agreed passionately.

Then, he said: The officials below will not change their expenses this year, and everyone has nothing to say.

It's the New Year, and if you lose the money others have planned for the New Year, they will definitely feel unhappy. Maybe someone will curse you in front of the shrine, haha.

Ding Fu asked Lin'an what to do if he had escaped?

The old man hoped to give them a relief payment, and Lao Cao also felt that he could give it appropriately. Everyone nodded and looked at Zhao Xiaobing.

He said that since we have founded the country, we must take care of it. Although they were officials of the previous dynasty, they worked hard for this country. They have arrived in Chengdu, so we must stay well.

When everyone heard what he said, they nodded frequently.

Zhao Xiaobing said that the Lin'an court was lost because of the invasion of foreign enemies. During this period, they were like taking a vacation at home. How about the monthly calculation of all the items?

This is completely overwhelming. They even get paid for it, which is equivalent to idle staff in later agencies. He believes that everyone should have nothing to say and there is no problem of relief.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi's eyes lit up. Ding Fu and Zhao Yanna were already smiling and very happy.

After listening to Zhao Xiaobing's speech, Ding Fu praised him very much and looked at him gratefully, thinking that he was really realistic and open-minded in his work.

Then, Zhao Xiaobing changed his mind again, indicating that the salary of officials in the year, Lord Ding had to think about it in combination with the change.

We in the new song do not support idle people. We have to assess those who have paid and have no work to get the money and hire new positions.

I feel that I have little money and I don’t want to do it freely.

He said that Jiangdong is in turmoil now, and I don’t know how many talented men are hungry and waiting to earn money to support their families.

Everyone agreed unanimously.

Seeing that there was nothing to discuss, Zhao Xiaobing temporarily proposed to replenish Wang Ling in as the acting Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

He said that everyone has talked so much, and the people still have to celebrate the New Year, so someone has to catch the issue of assistance to poor families.

In the future, the specific work of the office will be handed over to Gu Yueqiao, and Wang Ling will act as the Ministry of Revenue to do it first.

This was Zhao Xiaobing's temporary proposal and he did not give them time to circulate. Ding Fu first expressed his approval. For his people, no one else expressed his opinions, so he passed it.

This meeting was held for most of the day, and even lunch was eaten in the yamen.

Almost everyone has expressed their opinions, which truly reflects free speech.

Zhao Xiaobing saw the faces of several elderly people, especially Li Zhi. He was so old that he had a little smile on his face, which was originally lifeless. It was very rare.

He is no longer as restrained as the first meeting, so he just lets him decide. He feels good, so he looks like a republic.

After the meeting, Ding Fu said that there were a few people in the General Administration Department who wanted to follow Zhao Xiaobing and asked him to recommend him. He agreed, all of them were officials who received their salary, so there was no need to waste it.

When they returned home, Deng'an and the others had already set up the bonfire party.

Zhao Xiaobing asked to bring a few more jars of wine in the warehouse, and ran to tie the apron and bake the food. Soon, the bonfire lit up, and everyone ate and danced around the bonfire. He rarely ate with the soldiers, so today everyone was happy.

Even so, there is still a brother in the row who is on duty without getting drunk.

When he woke up the next day, he called Deng'an. Yun'er came in and said that he had sent the other person away last night and called Deng'an.

He laughed in silence, making Yun'er feel a little uncomfortable when she was serving her to get up. Basically, her wives were cleaning him up, but she drank a little too much last night, so he didn't want to move, so he still went out after packing up.

When the princess saw him coming out, she immediately asked the maid to bring him new tea. He felt the temperature was just right and started drinking.

After breakfast, he went to Chen Zhenshan to sit down. The old man said that he had already investigated it clearly. This princess is not that princess, but the illegitimate daughter of the emperor and the famous prostitute in Lin'an.
