    Upon hearing Wang Kuang's words, the eyes of all the officials present immediately lit up, and they all expressed their opinions that they would second the proposal. Since Marquis Jian'an seconded the proposal, it must be possible. In this case, why don't you do it for everyone's benefit?  Once you get a batch of these, you will become a person who is kind to the officials. This is a good method.  Moreover, it is most appropriate for Gao Jifu to publish this book. Anyway, he is also famous for paying attention to low-level officials. He has already published a book before proposing to pay salaries to foreign officials and it was adopted. Now he is publishing another book.  It makes sense.

    This makes the old Taoist priest who is still standing by so happy that he has just caught up with the good times. He has just been promoted to an official position and his salary will be raised so much soon?  However, it is obviously a military and national event at the moment, and I am not suitable to participate in it. I haven't received the petition documents to change my official uniform, so I want to intervene?  So he just stood there blankly, neither walking away nor walking away.  Go away, you don¡¯t know where you are going, why don¡¯t you go away, is it not a problem just to listen?  But it was hard to interrupt. Among the people in front of him, except for the two Bai Shen who were as helpless as himself, the rest were all aloof beings.

    All those who were in official positions had long been aroused by Wang Kuang's topic. They couldn't care less about them. Even the scribes and government officials who were standing aside had their eyes gleaming with gold, and they started to cry.  Mom, increase it to four times the current amount?  How nourishing should your little life be?  But after listening for a long time, the clerks and government officials finally figured out something. Is it true that this is all the business of officials with good grades?  Does co-authorship have anything to do with those unconventional people like them?

    There are those who are bold, I thought.  Anyway, Marquis Jian'an is also kind, so he simply gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to ask: "Well, Jian Marquis Jian'an, I dare to ask, I ask you a question, what should we, the unworthy ones, do?"

    "Oh, I almost forgot about you. Lao Gao, since I'm going to write about it, I might as well include those low-ranking petty officials. Look, these people in front of you are in Chang'an.  How many government clerks are there in Chang'an? There must be Qianlai people, right? If it is a government office with income, their income is guaranteed, but if it is a Qingshui government office, their monthly money can only come from Shangguan.  It¡¯s not easy to live in a stable place without being squeezed into the salary, so we might as well include them in the salary expenditure. Moreover, the same should be true for local scribes and government officials. They should get the same money for doing the same work.  "Wang Kuang patted his forehead, but he really forgot that he never had to pay for the monthly payment of the government servants.  Even if you want it, there are no government officials. A casual official is just a bare commander with no subordinates.  Among his bodyguards, there are those with official status.  Although it is actually under his control, it belongs to the imperial court in name. They receive the imperial salary and do not have to pay for it themselves. Moreover, their salary is not even a fraction of the pocket money he gives them every month.  superior.

    "How much more will the court spend?" Gao Jifu quit his job. He was not just a protector of officials. If he really wanted to include all the unworthy people as Wang Kuang said, the expenditure would be huge enough.  , the national treasury will be emptied out in a few years.

    "Let's change the idea." Wang Kuang stretched out one hand helplessly, opened it, and then broke it off one finger at a time with the other hand: "Four times the salary does not have to come from the national treasury. You can ask the court to pay more.  One time, and the other two times will come from their place. They can't get all the twice. For example, if the number of households in a state increases a lot this year, the tax paid to the state treasury will increase by as much as  At a certain ratio, can we get a full increase? If it is the same as last year, we can only double it. If we set a standard like this, it will mobilize the enthusiasm of local officials to think more about the people of the state. Secondly, it can also  There are so many people who can embody it.¡±

    Seeing that Gao Jifu was about to interrupt, Wang Kuang quickly interrupted: "Don't rush to say it. I know you will definitely say it. What if the local officials increase taxes without authorization or force taxes and apportionments? This is easy, just let  The Yushitai is involved. The censors of each province give them some supervisory powers, and then the imperial court sends people to each state to review every year. With such double supervision, can't we avoid it to the greatest extent?"

    "Also, don't be busy. I haven't finished what I said. Lao Gao, you are not good at this. You always like to interrupt people when they are talking. Otherwise, why are you still a member of Zhongshushe? Just because you went there a few years ago.  I don¡¯t know how many foreign officials have recommended you to pay salaries to foreign officials. But look, seven or eight years have passed and you are still from Zhongshushe. You have to change this habit." Wang  Kuang's words made Gao Jifu blush, and he muttered for a long time before saying a word. What Wang Kuang said hit the mark. If it weren't for his nonsense, how could he still be in the position of Zhongshu Sheren?  How many years has it been since the last stop?

    The reason why Wang Kuang choked him was because Wang Kuang knew that this guy's future achievements would definitely belong to the Xianggong level. He didn't know this from the information he knew, but Li Shimin once had such an evaluation of him, saying that it was this  If this guy can correct his mistakes, it will be of great use?Moreover, Gao Jifu also got the nickname of cold-faced because he never cared about who he was talking to.

    "Look, the people who come to the various states for review can be affiliated with the Yushi Supervisory Yuan, or they can be integrated into one institute, let's call it the Audit Yuan, which is responsible for reviewing various departments in various places, including of course the various yamen in Chang'an.  The income and expenditure status, which money is overcharged, and which money should not be spent, are all listed clearly, and then a book is made and reported.  It's the Ministry of Industry. Isn't it?" Wang Kuang glanced at Gao Jifu again. Seeing that this guy was holding back his words, he smiled and then said:

    "As for those who are not in the mainstream, it is obviously inappropriate if their salaries are paid from the national treasury. Can they also be paid from the treasury of each state? Nowadays, the treasury of each state basically has a surplus, especially the Jiangnan states have a lot of surplus. Compared with  It would be better if the local officials were responsible for the monthly payment of the scribes and yamen out of their own pockets, rather than letting the officials pay for it. Think about it, who are the scribes and yamen busy for? They are busy for the court and the people, not for  Shangguan is busy. Since they are busy for the court and the people, their income should also come from the court and the local treasury. In this way, they will not say that one Shangguan is a yamen clerk. You must know that those who have worked for many years  The scribes and scribes of the yamen always handle things faster and are much more familiar with it than the newly recruited ones, right? I don¡¯t know about other places, but I only know that in Jianzhou, the monthly money of the scribes and scribes is all from the treasury.  The county and yamen did not have a large number of replacements because of the replacement of Shangguan. When the new officials took office, they had the support of the old people, and they were able to handle local government affairs very quickly. Otherwise, you would think that Jianzhou has been in the city for many years.  How did you get results as soon as you became an official? Isn¡¯t it because of the help of those old people?¡±

    "Good, great good." After Wang Kuang finished speaking for a long time, everyone looked at him with a smile. Gao Jifu then answered cautiously. Wang Kuang's words could be said to have basically filled in all the possible shortcomings.  , as Wang Kuang said, all the low-ranking scribes and government officials in the Tang Dynasty are paid by Shangguan, which means that the scribes and government officials will speak for whoever pays them. Similarly, the new appointees  For this reason, Shangguan did not dare to use the scribes and yamen left by his predecessor, fearing that they would help conceal some illegal and disciplinary matters.  Therefore, after every local official takes office, the first thing he does is often not to think about how to be a good official, but to rush to replace the people under him, lest his own ideas cannot be conveyed well.

    "In this case, what if Gao Sheren also drafted the plan for restarting Yong'an Palace? If someone objects, there is something to say. Those who oppose restarting the construction of Yong'an Palace will definitely not object to a salary increase for themselves.  . But if he opposes the construction of Yong'an Palace and agrees to the salary increase, doesn't it appear that he only cares about himself? It is inevitable that he will end up with the reputation of a villain who just watches the saints live in such a crowded, cold and damp Taiji Palace." Yan Lide twirled his beard  , smiling.

    Wang Kuang secretly laughed. Old Yan is really naughty. He knows that restarting the construction of Yong'an Palace will definitely attract opposition from many people, especially Old Man Wei, who must be the most aggressive. Wang Kuang knows Old Man Wei too well. This old man  His temper must be such that he would rather not have his salary increased or even have his salary reduced, but still want to prevent the restart of the construction of Yong'an Palace. There is only one reason, it is a waste of people and money!

    But I have a trump card!  Old Man Wei will definitely have nothing to say by then, and he may be the most active supporter of building Yong'an Palace.  So he looked at Gao Jifu who looked embarrassed and said: "It doesn't matter, Lao Gao, you can come up with it. Just add that it is XX who proposed the construction of Yong'an Palace. If anyone objects, just go to XX. But XX is sure  , Mr. Changsun will definitely support it.¡±

    Yan Lide immediately became depressed, what am I doing?  Just give all the credit to this cold noodle?  If the saint comes back and sees that the Yong'an Palace has begun to be rebuilt, I ask, who mentioned it?  Everyone said it was mentioned in a cold manner. What should the saint think?  The person who should be mentioned first should be the person responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace. At the very least, it should be someone from the Ministry of Works. In this way, the saint will think that he got the instruction from the Minister of Works. Why did he let the irrelevant people do it instead?  Are people from Shusheng taking care of this affair?

    I originally thought it would be a hard job, but since I was the most suitable person to make this suggestion, I agreed, and was prepared to be spat at by officials of all sizes, especially Mr. Wei, who jumped up and down and scolded him for instigating him.  The saint enjoys the luxury of the traitorous minister.  But why are the ghosts so obsessed with it that they insist on pushing it to Gao Lengmian.  Since it was Marquis Jian'an who proposed it, could I have just clicked on it when writing the excerpt? Why are you so stupid?  Since the Marquis of Jian'an dared to mention it, he must be sure of it. Mr. Wei would not sell anyone's account, but he would sell the account of the Marquis of Jian'an. If it weren't for the fact that one was named Wei and the other was Wang, and their birthplaces were separated by a hundred thousand.  If we go eight thousand miles away, I'm afraid someone in the court will guess that Marquis Jian'an is actually Wei Lao'er's son. Otherwise, how can we protect him in every possible way?

    By this time, he had already forgotten that he had?Old man Wei was the first to object to Wang Kuang's appointment. He was also the first to object to the banquet held by the emperor in Lin's Mansion for Wang Kuang's appointment. Even the one hundred thousand he had paid for it some time ago  All the gambling was completely forgotten.  To be continued.  .
