Chapter 204: High salary and h1sty
Chongzhen, Ying Zheng and others also listened to Ye Yu's remarks.
Although they had already heard Ye Yu's remarks about popularizing education in the past, and even Daqin had already started the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, listening to them again would be able to make up for the omissions they made.
Listening to Ye Yu's knowledge points, Fusu raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, what do you mean by keeping the officials clean and keeping the officials clean, and high salaries to maintain integrity? Does this have anything to do with the comprehensive rollout of quality education?"
Li Shimin and Ying Zheng also nodded, obviously having doubts about this issue.
"Of course it does!" Ye Yu said solemnly, "Even if you can pick out countless talents in front of you, you can guarantee that they will be honest officials and honest officials for the rest of their lives, can't you?"
"Let's not talk about Datang for the time being. Your Daming's imperial examination system has matured. Why are there still so many corrupt officials? Do they really want to be corrupt? No, it's all because of poverty!"
Ye Yu patted Chongzhen on the shoulder and said helplessly: "Your ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was notoriously stingy. Officials in the world often don't pay a salary for several years, even if they do, it's only a small amount of rice, and the official has to support his family. To make a living, raise a family of servants and servants, and go out to socialize, if you are not greedy, would you let people drink the northwest wind?"5
"So, even if you have something to do, arrest a group of corrupt officials and kill them, but there are not only a few corrupt officials, but more and more of them. That's the reason.
"..."
Chongzhen blushed and coughed twice in embarrassment.
Although this matter has nothing to do with him, after all, it was brought up by his ancestors.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a beggar, and he was quite stingy. He had always had zero tolerance for those corrupt officials. Unfortunately, no matter how much he killed, the corrupt officials still couldn't finish killing them.
Before Chongzhen was still wondering why there were so many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, the crux of the matter was this.
"So, corrupt officials can't be killed!" Ye Yu continued: "Many people are greedy, but in the beginning they were actually trying to maintain their families, but in the end they couldn't restrain their greed, and the more they became greedy, the more they became.
That being the case, then curb their corrupt behavior from the source, and tie their salaries to their own political performance and national taxation. The better their political performance, the higher the local fiscal revenue and the higher the annual national tax The higher the salary, the higher their salary.
In this way, every official will work hard, and when their income increases tenfold, who would dare to take the risk to become a corrupt official?”
Ye Yu's remarks made Li Shimin Cheng Yaojin, who had never seen the world, take another breath and made an outstanding contribution to the greenhouse effect.
"How can this be done by tying official salaries and national tax revenue together"*!
"That's right, sir, even my old man, Cheng, knows that the national tax is the economic lifeline of the country, and it can't be easily moved!
"Silver can only generate benefits when it moves. You put it in the warehouse, why don't you wait for it to give you a baby?" Ye Yu rolled his eyes and said, "How much is the total annual national tax revenue of Tang Dynasty? , the total is only one or two million taels. Even if you are asked to give the officials points, it will not be a few taels of silver a year. Why are you in a hurry?
Li Shimin's face turned red, and he was speechless.
Ye Yu sighed and said: "Taxes must be reformed. If we don't reform the people's lives, we will never be able to get rich. For example, Daqin has eliminated a series of extortionate and miscellaneous taxes and increased the business tax to take the opportunity to increase the national treasury. income.
"If your Tang Dynasty wants to be strong, this step must not be missed. Within five years, your Tang Dynasty's national tax revenue must increase by at least ten times, and the income of officials will increase tenfold by then. No more hard work!
"Sir is right!" Ying Zhengfu smiled and said, "Since the widow got rid of those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Not only has my Daqin tax revenue not decreased, but it has actually tripled!""
"So it's like this..." Li Shimin's eyes showed a condensed look.
Before, he had never looked down on the business tax, but he did not expect such a huge potential in this business.
If he can reduce some of the extortionate and miscellaneous taxes and make the people's living burdens smaller, the people will definitely recognize him more, which is also an excellent thing for him to consolidate the imperial power.
After figuring out the door and door, Li Shimin's face immediately showed a touch of joy.
Tonight's harvest is really great, Ye Yu seems to have formulated three major national policies for him, but in fact, strictly speaking, it should be five national policies.
And if these five national policies are successfully implemented, at least the national power of the Tang Dynasty can be increased by five times, and the life of the Tang Dynasty can be extended for another hundred years!
Li Shimin happily bowed to Ye Yu again and again: "Thank you for your guidance, I have written it down. After I go back, I will let my subordinates compile a complete framework based on the guidance, and then implement it immediately!"5
"Well, Lao Li, just take it one step at a time, don't worry too much." Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "If you take too big steps, you will easily pull eggs, so you don't have to worry too much.
"Whether it is to deal with the five surnames and seven Wang or to strengthen yourself, it will take a long time. As long as you follow my instructions, Lao Li, you will definitely not go wrong."
"Yes, thank you very much for your guidance, I will take it down." Li Shimin bowed his hands to Ye Yu again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Ye Yu nodded and beckoned to Ying Zheng and Chongzhen: "Come here, Lao Zhao Lao Zhu, we haven't played mahjong for a long time, come and play two games tonight!
"Hahahaha, come!" Ying Zheng became addicted to the cards as soon as he heard the cards, and excitedly patted Chongzhen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chongzhen, you are not making a lot of money today, today the widow is going to kill the Quartet!
"Come on!" Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Brother Yingzheng, I have honed my card skills a lot these days, and I will definitely not lose to you!"
Yang Zi and Wang Mushi cleaned up the table, then took out a box of mahjong, Ye Yu took Ying Zheng and Chongzhen, and Li Shimin with a confused face, and they fought happily.
Ying Zheng and Chongzhen, these two thick-faced and dark-hearted guys, have no pity on Li Shimin, who is still a novice, and will kill him if he catches Li Shimin.
After fighting for less than an hour, the money on Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin was completely sucked by these two guys.
66. "Ahem, His Highness Shi Huang, Brother Chongzhen, why don't we fight another day." Li Shimin touched his empty pocket, his face a little embarrassed.
As an emperor, he didn't have money on his body, and this time he was won by Ying Zheng and the two of them, which made Li Shimin feel ashamed.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty himself was so dignified that he couldn't even get dozens of taels of silver? Isn't this rumored to be a joke.
"Okay, Brother Shimin, you must bring enough money next time!" Chongzhen happily weighed the money in his hands, and his mouth was so happy that the corners of his mouth went to the ground.
Although this money is not much, it was won from Tang Taizong Li Shimin, which is so fulfilling!
Ying Zheng looked at the sky, cupped his hands at Ye Yu and smiled: "Sir, it's getting late, then we'll go first, sir, rest early.
"Sir, we will retire first.
"Well, close the door when you go. 35
Ye Yu was lying on the reclining chair, and waved his hands indifferently.
This guy Wang Ben just walked to the door when he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and waved to Wang Mushi.
"Girl, come here!
"Huh?" Wang Mushi looked at his father suspiciously, and walked over in confusion.
The old man Wang Ben looked around with a smile on his face (Wang Li Zhao), then pulled Wang Mushi aside and whispered something to her ear.
Ye Yu looked up, and from his angle, he could see Wang Mushi's little face reddening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Father, what are you talking about!" Wang Mushi glared at Wang Ben with a blushing face and stamped his feet angrily.
Wang Ben was completely unaware, or he was so thick-skinned that he could completely ignore these things.
Wang Ben patted Wang Mushi's slender shoulder and said earnestly: "Mushi, the future of our old Wang family is handed over to you, you have to hurry up!"5
After he finished speaking, he winked at Wang Mushi, then hurried to the Immortal Gate and disappeared.
Seeing that Xianmen was gradually hidden in the mist, Wang Mushi stomped his feet, bit his silver teeth and returned to the pavilion with a red face.
Ye Yu lay leisurely on the chair, looked up at Wang Mushi and said with a smile: "I'm done? Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to rest.
After saying that, he hugged Yang Zi and walked towards the second floor.
Wang Mushi's face flushed, looking at the backs of Ye Yu and Yang Zi, remembering the explanation Wang Ben gave her just now, she gritted her teeth and followed.
