"Sir, that's not what you said before?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but agree.

Before, Fang Shiyu said that the fire was consumed by the public, and the boss thought that the gentleman wanted to compete with the people for profit.

I heard it clearly at that time, and because the boss misunderstood the gentleman, I despised the boss in my heart.

Therefore, Zhu Di was very impressed by this incident.

Not only Zhu Di, but the rest of the people were also question marks, wanting to see how Fang Shiyu would explain this inconsistent problem.

"Very good! This at least proves that Lao Zhu and Zhu Lao Si have listened carefully."

Fang Shiyu patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, then patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, expressing his appreciation.

This attitude is also very clear, as if I am telling you that you see that the two most disastrous students in our class have become more learning because of my master's training.

Although the progress is not very fast, this attitude is worth encouraging.

Fang Shiyu's thought was that, in this way, it was a step further from taking this group of people to Nanyang.

"cut!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked arrogant!

Zhu Di smiled and said, "This is the first time that sir, I'm praising me in public?"

"Boy Fang, please tell me quickly, what's going on? Can't you be straightforward? Why are you doing so hard?"

Lan Yu couldn't help but urge him.

This kid is good at everything, but he is so hard to speak. He is willing to say it with a good word and he has to make a big appetite!

"Okay, then I will tell you directly! In short, this fire consumption belongs to the public is actually a supplement to the interception of fire consumption. Of course, you can also understand that the reason why the fire consumption belongs to the public is to interception of the fire consumption!"

What?

When the words came to the ground, everyone was confused.

If that's the case, why do you have to be so complicated?

Wouldn't you just do a fire consumption interception?

Isn’t this a waste of farting when taking off your pants?

"Sir, isn't this a bit of a superfluous smell?"

"Since that's the case, wouldn't you just do a snoop? Why do you have to take another step?"

Xiao Erbaiwu Chang Mao was the first to ask.

The rest of the people also nodded, saying that they had the same doubts.

These people naturally wanted to ask, but they were afraid of being slapped in the face by Fang Shiyu, so they were waiting for people who were not afraid of being slapped in the face to ask.

Chang Mao was obviously the most suitable candidate.

"It's not bad. I asked the point. Do you still remember what was the most important thing when I said that fire consumption was returned to the public?"

Fang Shiyu asked slowly.

Chang Mao was immediately stopped with a question mark on his face.

"Mr. Fang, if I remember correctly, the key point is openness, transparency, and standardization!"

Old Liu returned with a faint smile.

As the best person to learn from under Zhu Biao, Lao Liu recorded a lot of Fang Shiyu's words in his small notebook, so when Fang Shiyu asked, he knew the answer.

“Very right!”

Fang Shiyu nodded and then continued to speak.

"The fire and consumption are the public. We must be taken, and we cannot save or overcome them. Only by doing this can we make all kinds of losses and traces available, so that the officials below will not be able to get rich and be corrupt."

"Of course, the amount of this loss is also very huge. If it is directly taken to the court and then allowed to be allocated by the Ministry of Revenue according to the amount, it will obviously do more harm than good."

"This will cause secondary losses and waste a lot of time, and it is really difficult to operate in the states and prefectures in various places."

"So at this time, we need a second step of chess, fire consumption intercepts, and at a certain amount, we will directly allow the states and governments to stay as funds."

The reason why Fang Shiyu wanted to play in two steps was for this purpose!

Taxation in the 21st century is also divided into national tax and local tax, which is basically the same.

"This is wrong. Why do we still have to leave a part of the local prefectures? Isn't it a better choice to take them all into the court and put them in the treasury?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

This is related to the character of Emperor Hongwu. In the eyes of Emperor Hongwu, everything is under his control in every aspect.

If we do it according to Fang Shiyu's method now, it means that some of the money is not needed to be used by Emperor Hongwu and is directly used by the officials below. Emperor Hongwu naturally cannot bear it.

"This is not that complicated. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away, and the generals are not allowed to accept military orders abroad. You should have heard of it, right?"

Fang Shiyu asked slowly.

"Hear."

Zhu Yuanzhang returned in a simple way, but he still had a question mark on his face.

In feudal society, communication basically depends on yelling. Even if it is 800 miles in a hurry, it will take a lot of time. However, the situation on the battlefield changes every minute and every second.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for this person who leads troops to fight to wait for the emperor's order to do everything.

As an emperor, whether it is the Qin Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty today, he has known this truth for thousands of years.

Therefore, before the army is deployed, a relatively large combat policy and combat goal will often be formulated first. In addition, the soldiers leading the army basically have extremely high autonomy and will not have any such thing as commanding beyond the level!

"Of course, not only marching and fighting have to face ever-changing emergencies, but in fact, the prefectures in various places will often encounter such emergencies."

"If everything is done according to the process, memorials are submitted, and the emperor's instructions are approved by the Ministry of Revenue. When the funds arrive at the local prefecture, the grass on the grave will be several meters high!"

Fang Shiyu slowly explained.

The current situation of feudal society is that the emergency incidents encountered by those local prefectures will not be less than those who lead the troops, or even more complicated and more urgent.

The simplest example is natural disasters and man-made disasters. If a flood occurs in this prefecture, officials must evacuate the victims as soon as possible and settle them.

It is easy to deal with a place closer to the capital. If it is a place far away from the capital, it will take half a year to go as soon as the court has transferred the food and grass, and the grave grass of the victims is probably several meters high!

"I misunderstood! But Mr. Fang, is there any other effect in the part of the loss left by him besides emergency response?"

Liu Bowen asked again, looking humbly asking for advice.

"Of course it's useful, there are many useful places."

"Of course, there is no need to pay too much money. Whether it is the prefectures and people in the world, if you don't have enough money, it will be difficult to get things done!"

"So in addition to emergency response, there are two most important roles."

"I have also said before that the officials below are fully equipped and that they cannot let one person do ten people's work, and the deputy assistant or other part of the money can be used to recruit."

"There is another important purpose left, that is, once the tax is placed in the acres, the people will not only need to serve, but the governments in various places need to hire people, so they will hire them. This part of the money can be paid to the people as remuneration."

Fang Shiyu explained patiently.

"Why, Mr. Fang, how should we divide the amount of fire consumption? How many will it be left in the prefectures in various places and how many will it be taken to the court?"

Lao Li asked the final question.

"This is the most troublesome thing, you need to take some time to divide it."

"Only determine the proportion of fire consumption to the public can the proportion of interception. Now, when determining the first one, your Majesty can specify an approximate amount according to the daily office expenses of the state governments in each area. Just make a little adjustment every year according to different actual conditions."

Fang Shiyu said slowly.

"Is that right? As long as Daming strictly enforces these things, there will be no more corrupt officials in the world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly, this was his biggest knot.

During this period, the two biggest problems that troubled Zhu Yuanzhang were the Guo Huan case, but the Guo Huan case had been resolved by Fang Shiyu.

The second is how to prevent officials from corruption and abuse of power to enrich themselves.

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked the second question, he never expected that Fang Shiyu would say that he was forced to do it!

In order to confirm his point of view, Fang Shiyu even explained what officials are also human beings, and even drew up some levels of needs.

After talking for several days, the whole article was only two words!

silver!

It’s okay if I endure it, I can also follow the advice and follow your bastard’s methods. But can I stop the emergence of corruption?

"As long as Your Majesty strictly implements these five moves, the local prefectures and six ministries will not be embarrassed again, at least there will be no shortage of money."

"If the court increases its salary appropriately, officials don't have to worry about not being able to fill their stomachs. They will clearly distinguish the costs of government offices in various places, and do not mix them up. They will have full staff and not allow one person to do ten people's work."

"In addition, give them reasonable vacation time so that they can reunite with their families. They use a brand new accounting method, capital Chinese characters to record accounts, and send specialists to explain to the people. In this way, the effect will inevitably be very significant!"

"In the end, we must not forget that there is injury and punishment. This corresponding criminal law is also indispensable."

"The Ming Dynasty should not learn from the Song Dynasty. The court raised so many waste officials. The court raised officials, so that they wanted to serve the people."
