Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 269 Exemption Money

Gao Cheng invited three hundred Jinshi to a banquet, and the front yard of the Bohai Prince's Mansion was full of laughter and laughter.

In the backyard, Gao Yan told Gao Yang proudly that he happened to meet a group of Jinshi earlier.

Gao Yang seemed to be less interested, and only responded with a few words from time to time.

In this time and space, Gao Yang no longer pretends to be a fool, and his younger brothers will not despise him, and his direct brother Gao Yan is even better with Gao Yang.

Gao Cheng is busy with business all day long, so he seldom spends time with his younger brothers. It is normal for Gao Yan to get involved with Gao Yang.

To be honest, Gao Yang is not as calm and breezy as he appears, and he also envies Gao Cheng's appearance of relying on power and domineering.

It's just that Gao Cheng was so suspicious that he didn't dare to show it.

After all, Gao Yang himself didn't know how many people Gao Cheng had placed in his courtyard.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the next morning, Jinshi went to the Ministry of Officials to wait for assignments.

Although the servant Cui Xian is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the whereabouts of these people has already been arranged by Gao Cheng.

The top ten members of the criminal name department stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to observe politics for a year, and the last fifty were sent to the local area to study with Chief Facao.

The top ten of the arithmetic department will go to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Households to observe politics for a year, and the bottom fifty will study in Gaocheng's newly established transshipment department in various states.

The Transshipment Department is not only responsible for transporting taxes to the central government, but also responsible for tax collection, accounting, and tax transfers to the central government, and supervises local finances.

Moreover, because of Wang Xi's suggestion in the policy discussion, we should grasp the supply and demand situation in various places, and implement the taxation method of moving from expensive to cheap.

The top ten members of the Agricultural Affairs Department went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to observe the government for one year. The Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of national household registration, acres of land, currency, and various taxes, roughly equivalent to the functions of the modern Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance.

It is also a matter of course that the agricultural department and some of the top ten scholars in the arithmetic department were sent to the household department.

The last [-] students from the agricultural department will also work in various places after studying in the local area for a year.

The top [-] members of the Engineering Department and the Criminal Department went to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to observe politics for a year, and the last [-] students of each will also learn professional knowledge in the local area, and then make suitable arrangements.

After all, the four subjects of arithmetic, farming, fortification, and criminal names are all for the selection of professionals.

If there were no special circumstances, it would be impossible for Gao Cheng to let a jinshi of the criminal department go to the Ministry of household affairs, and let a jinshi of the agricultural department go to the Ministry of punishment.

All-round development is good, but there are so many all-rounders in this world.

The classics department is different from the four departments. The top ten were sent to the six departments. For example, Cui Shan went to the Ministry of Households, Wang Xi was in the Ministry of Officials, and Zu Ting was sent to the Ministry of Rites.

The last [-] students from the classics department were scattered and sent to other places, where they were observed and assessed as top-ranking county magistrates.

As for the candidates who were not admitted to Jinshi, most of them chose to return to their hometowns and take the exam after three years, while a small number of them applied to the Ministry of Officials to sue their bodies and deliberately returned to official positions.

Last year, a large number of officials abandoned their posts for reference. Now is the time when there is a shortage of personnel, Gao Cheng is naturally happy to be satisfied, and the official department is also busy under Gao Cheng's instruction.

The decree to readjust Henan's divisions has already been issued, and those who are close, such as Hu Luguang and Gao Aocao, have returned to Luoyang to organize the army at Yongning Temple.

Wait until Zhu Hunyuan and Gao Huan sent the new governor of Jianzhou to take over and return to Luoyang with [-] parts and a group of officials involved in the case.

All the prefectures in Henan have completed the divisional adjustment, and among the generals of the new Gyeonggi Legion, only Murong Shaozong is still waiting for Gao Yue to return to Xuzhou to take over, and the rest, such as Hou Yuan and Liu Feng, have also arrived one after another.

Several great temples in Luoyang that used to be the garrisons of the Gyeonggi Army are bustling again.

Among them, Yongning Temple, which has the largest number of garrisons, is at the end of the imperial road in the north and south of Yili, outside the gate of Changhe, people are being killed, and the people onlookers are all clapping their hands and cheering.

The interrogation of the officials involved in the case in Jianzhou lasted for a while, and the people of Luoyang also knew a lot about the case. Now seeing the wicked subdue the law, they naturally let out a breath of anger.

In the end, there were only two main criminals left, Zheng Boyou, the governor of Jianzhou, and his wife, Princess Qingyang, who were not dealt with.

Just when everyone thought that the two people with high identities would be lenient, Gao Cheng made the appointment, and Gao Cheng himself approved, and finally issued the punishment for Zheng Boyou and Princess Qingyang.

In view of the fact that the two had committed dozens of capital crimes and Gao Huan demanded the death penalty, Gao Cheng decided to tie the two outside the gate of Changhe, and repeatedly threw coins to kill them.

Isn't it love of money, Xiao Gao Wang, a benevolent man, deliberately satisfied the hobbies of the couple.

Unexpectedly, there were some mistakes in the actual operation. During the period, several batches of personnel were changed, and they smashed the gate of Changhe for three days and three nights. In the end, Zheng Boyou and his wife died of thirst.

For three days and three nights without food and water, and having to endure the pain of being hit by coins all the time, without sleep, it can be called inhuman torture.

Many people saw the final appearance of Zheng Boyou and his wife, and even felt that it might be more humane to directly divide the body into five horses.

During the interrogation of the Jianzhou case until the final dust settled, Gao Cheng not only followed Wang Xi's request to open Changping warehouses in various places.

In accordance with Cui Shan's proposal, an administrative order was issued: from next year, regardless of high or low, people can pay exemption money to be exempted from hard labor.

The exemption money is divided between the central and local governments.

Why only [-]%?Seventy percent belonged to others, and Xiao Gaowang only got thirty percent.

The local government must pay remuneration according to the construction period for the use of civilian power, and it is reasonable and reasonable to take the bulk of the exemption money.

Gao Cheng did not take the [-]% into his own pocket, but also subsidized the finances of various places at any time.

Even though Cui Shan's policy theory was posted that day, and everyone knew that the exemption money policy was very likely to be implemented, but when this day really came, people all over the Kanto region were full of joy.

The local government abused the power of the people and excessively collected corvee, and the people suffered greatly. Now Gao Cheng promulgated the exemption money system, which is undoubtedly a virtuous policy.

Gao Cheng announced in the decree that it will be implemented next year, but there are heated discussions everywhere, and countless people request that the exemption money system start this year.

It turned out that the local government was afraid that the local government would take advantage of the free labor this year and come to the last madness.

Gao Cheng received petitions from people all over the country, and made changes in due course. The one-year exemption fee is 300 yuan. Now it is the end of April, and Gao Cheng only receives two-thirds of the exemption fee this year, that is, 200 yuan.

In order to call on the privileged class to pay the exemption money, Gao Cheng personally went to the government office of the household department and paid 200 yuan to Cui Jishu, the Minister of the household department, on the spot to be exempted from the remaining corvee this year.

Although King Gao had never served corvee, before Gao Huan made his fortune, he was only five years old. After his fortune, as a privileged class, he didn't need to worry about corvee.

At the same time, Gao Huan also sent someone to send 200 yuan to Luoyang and hand it over to Cui Jishu.

Looking at Cui Jishu's hot 400 yuan, the privileged class has nothing to say. Ren Gao's father and son have paid the exemption money on purpose, regardless of whether it is a political show or not, who would dare not pay the money.

Among them, Gao Longzhi went too far. He had the title of servant, so he entered the palace based on this, and forced 400 yuan from Yuan Shanjian to serve as the exemption money for Yuan Shanjian and Empress Gao, causing an uproar in the public opinion.

　Forgot to set a scheduled update last night.
