There were many people from the outside court who were panicked by the establishment of the Gouyuan, while the comments of the Yanying Hall of the inner court were not very relevant to this.

Finance is a systematic issue, and financial review is only one aspect. In addition, there are various administrative matters such as fiscal budget and legislation, tax collection, official property management, storage management and use of property, and market and price control.

Now that the Gou Yuan is the general leader in the Gou Yuan’s procuratorate, there is no need to worry about it in the highest decision-making occasion of Yanying Palace. The focus is on discussing the handling plans for other financial matters.

After the saints and all the members sat down, Yao Yuanchong, the Minister of the Secretariat, raised the first issue: "The country needs to be based on the basis of the country's management, and the amount of income is required to be judged. This autumn's management is also a method of this old rope, but the previous method after the Expo has been abolished and it is urgent to make quick changes before it can be entrusted as the political standards of the states in the coming year."

The budget for the payment of the payment is the foundation for a country's administrative maintenance in the next year, and it is the most important financial calculation for the year. According to the original administrative process, the annual calculation book collected by the various classes is sent to the Shangshu Province to provide the budget for the payment of the payment of the next year. This procedure must be completed before October 31.

The final decision was made. After the ceremony on the New Year’s Day ceremony was over, it was then handed over to the ministers and envoys in the form of an imperial edict and returned to the states as the guidelines for the next year.

The reason why the World Expo was scheduled to be held in September is not only in this season's tribute and tax preparation, but also in order to cooperate with the planning of the plan for the tuition plan. However, this situation is too special this year, because the scale and duration of the World Expo seriously exceed the standard, which makes the tuition plan for the tuition plan of the tuition course completely unrelated to such a huge part, which makes it difficult to implement.

Not to mention, the various local tax revenues generated by the passage of commercial goods along the way are not reflected in the budget plan at all. So, will the local government not collect this part of the revenue? Will it not pay?

The issue raised by Yao Yuanchong is quite serious. It is now the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and there is only one month before the New Year's Day ceremony. It is necessary to complete the financial review and make a new budget for the expenditure.

As soon as Yao Yuanchong finished speaking, Yang Zaisi, who was promoted to the position of the minister of the two sects, sighed and said, "The sages enjoyed the country's prosperity and governance, and the storage of wealth has increased, which has benefited more than the past years. In addition to the amazing world, the staff were worried and distressed. In previous years, the amount of funds was calculated, but now the wealth was influx, so why should we judge it?"

Hearing Yang Zaisi's words, Li Tong, who was sitting on the imperial bed, showed a smug smile on his face.

Or maybe the old guy Yang Zaisi has a high emotional intelligence and not only pointed out the problem, but also flattered the saint: Our saint is so awesome. He has made so much money that everyone is worried about not knowing how to spend it. It’s really bad!

However, the issue of living within one's means by these two prime ministers is really not easy to solve.

The Tang Dynasty's fiscal budget follows a principle of living within one's means and determines the amount of expenditure in the coming year based on the amount of income. This is also a principled idea of ​​national finance since the past dynasties.

If you want to live within your means, you must first ensure that the country's overall income is measurable.

This was naturally not difficult in the early Tang Dynasty. The court implemented the equal-field system, with a certain number of land and populations, and there would not be too many variables in renting and trading. As long as the relevant departments can effectively perform their duties, they can calculate the national fiscal revenue clearly and then make an annual income and expenditure plan based on this.

However, since the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the destruction of the equal-land system and the prevalence of corvee service have made the originally controllable fiscal revenue uncontrollable, so that other miscellaneous taxes have to be added to maintain a relative balance.

By the Kaiyuan period, the situation of placing branches would become more severe. With the deepening of household registration work in all parties, the population controlled by the imperial court increased by nearly double, and the scale of new land grants and land reclamation that accompanied them was also larger, and the originally relatively constant rental and adjustment income also increased. This year's placing branches are no longer a reference for next year.

Not to mention, with the development of commerce, the profits of commercial taxation and government-made industries surged, which directly changed the basic pattern of the court's fiscal revenue.

To put it simply, it’s just that the fucking money comes too quickly, which makes people feel at a loss!

Increased fiscal revenue is naturally a good thing, but from the overall administrative perspective of the country, it is a sweet burden. What kind of effective management should be implemented to transform this part of the fiscal increase into a real growth in national strength, which is also a great test for the imperial government.

If this cannot be done, the growth of wealth can turn good and bad. Not to mention a country, even if ordinary people suddenly get rich, their behavior will become crazy if they are not able to control their intelligence and character. Mr. Fan Wei of Old Versailles has a deep understanding of this.

"The measurement of the funds is fundamental to the state. High yields and harvests are no longer a temporary problem. In addition to the common laws, there have been reforms over the years, summarizing them into ropes and making innovations. Since the collections in the treasury are no longer measured, it is better to use all the cashiers in the government and use them to calculate them!"

When it comes to Versailles, Li Tong is not behind.

Although the financial principle of living within one's means a long history, ancient methods do not mean that it is good. As society progresses more and more and more resources become richer, such ideas will no longer be adapted. Changing a standard as a measurement standard in the administrative process is also the choice of the times.

Don't pretend, showdown, I'm a Monopoly, and I need a better way to manage my wealth!

When Li Tong proposed such a change of ideas, the ministers' ideas were also opened and they began to make suggestions. They did not have similar ideas, but the saints did not set the tone and they did not dare to speak out loud.

The budget for the next year is to make predictions based on what has happened. The smaller the natural variable for making judgments, the more realistic it is. After locking in the affairs and expenditures that need to be carried out every year, the rest of the finances will be income.

In this way, local governments no longer need to dig into creating income, increasing production and improving political achievements. They will maintain the current state and pay all other financial items after deducting administrative costs.

This idea of ​​dependent management will create another phenomenon, that is, the variable space left to local governments is too small, lacking vitality, and at the same time there is almost no ability to adapt.

But this is not a disadvantage, but it helps to consolidate the authority of the central government. If you are too good at playing locally, how should my central government implement management?

As for the variables of natural disasters and man-made disasters, this is not reflected in the budget for subsidies. As long as the court maintains sufficient financial reservations and can deal with variables in a timely manner, there will be no big chaos.

If the local initiative is insufficient, the central court needs to be more flexible and efficient, and to grasp the changes in local situations more thoroughly and comprehensively to adapt to the overall development of society. It cannot be dragged down due to the low administrative efficiency. Even in some areas where variables are frequent, consistent vertical management should be formed.

The changes in the system need to be in line with the background of the times, and at least we need to figure out what problems need to be solved and what needs to be managed.

Speaking of this, we have to mention a character, that is, the treacherous prime minister Li Linfu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Linfu was very famous, his ruling ability was quite good. The "Long Enlightenment" compiled during the Kaiyuan period was an important program of the financial reform of the Tang Dynasty, and even had great significance in ancient financial history.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the government budget for subsidies was based on physical items. In this way, the subsidy plan included the collection, transportation and storage of rent and tribute receivable in the next year, the purchase of materials other than the government's collection was called discounted items, and the expenditure of fiscal revenue in the next year.

In this way, the collection and purchase of various physical objects between the local governments and the courts need to communicate with each other. The physical objects stipulated by the court alone include millet, rice, grain and six kinds of silk fabrics, and there are even more types of items that need to be purchased with tax discounts.

With the recovery and development of social productivity, the financial resources involved have become more numerous, and all of them need to be reported. As a result, the accounting project is complicated, and the accounting paper is used for more than 500,000 pieces.

The "Long Enactment" stipulates that the fixed annual income and expenditure of the states will be customized after the booking is made. There is no need to change the booking year by year. It only calculates the accounting of the fiscal revenue of the year, which greatly saves the accounting process.

It seems that the long-term order has only simplified the accounting process, reducing the accounting papers for the provinces from 500,000 to only two or three pieces per year, but the administrative costs saved and the checks and balance thinking of putting local affairs at the center have greatly changed the entire Tang Dynasty's finances and administrative structure.

The two-tax law reform carried out by Yang Yan in the Middle Tang Dynasty to a certain extent was based on the long-term purpose of simplifying the complex and taking matters into one's legislation and implementation thinking.

The emergence of "Long Enlightenment" simplified and standardized the cumbersome business processes, and replaced a large amount of administrative document labor with accurate and straightforward written provisions. In the evolution of ancient institutional procedures, it has to be said to be a major innovation.

Before Li Tong could take power in the early years, he presided over the reform of the canal transportation in the Wuzhou Dynasty. In order to avoid the constraints of the Wu kings, he borrowed many long-term business wisdom and regulated some matters that required the departments to coordinate and work hard, and achieved considerable results in a short period of time. Similar ideas were also extended in the later administration of the Taiwan administration.

At present, Li Tong proposed the principle of national fiscal revenue from income, which is also a change of the long-term implementation, and it must be carried out more thoroughly. Because the current form of the Tang Dynasty's fiscal revenue is changing from physical to monetization, and it can go further in the need to simplify the complexity.

Of course, this change undoubtedly compressed the court's scope and intensity of control over various materials, so it cannot simply pursue fiscal growth, and at the same time it also needs to increase control over social productivity.

In other words, it is necessary to add a large number of official workshops to form state-owned enterprises with huge scale and production capacity and vertical management.

At present, the administrative structure and economic management scope of local governments are not complicated. This is formed by the national policy of focusing on the inside and neglecting the outside since the founding of the Tang Dynasty and deliberately compressing local power.

Although with the overall development of society, local administrative management capabilities also need to be strengthened, this does not fall within the scope of the matters discussed at the moment.

Therefore, after determining the principle of metering and income, the expenditure plan only needs to determine the administrative expenses of each state, and only needs to increase the relevant money transfer capacity to complete the fiscal expenditure budget for the next whole year. The workload is greatly saved and the promulgation of January of the new year can be achieved.

All the prime ministers present had rich administrative experience. After the idea was determined, a plan was quickly formed in the discussion that could be issued to implement the implementation.

However, after the plan was completed, Zhang Renyuan raised his hand and said, "Civil affairs are the basis, and military affairs are also important. Now, there are more than one military equipment used inside and outside. The matters are complicated and urgent, and it is difficult for the external department to know everything. I asked the Privy Council to have personnel to participate in the affairs of the affairs."

As soon as Zhang Renyuan finished speaking, Liu Youqiu spoke: "There are leisure dramas at work and the matter is divided into Cao, so this is orderly and well-organized. The generals of the Privy Council are mixed and the common people are governed. The duties are all important tasks. It is difficult for the idle staff to participate in the separation of Cao. After the spring inspection of the Jia family and the autumn inspection of the arsenal, you can know the gains and losses, make clear the backup, and go to the hospital to review the details. You can go to the hospital for detailed information. If you provide enough supplies, the soldiers can also avoid the trouble of heat and restlessness."

A country's expenditure and military expenditure are definitely a major issue. Especially in the case of a state-owned war, it is even necessary to spend all the treasury to help the war. The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs in the world, so naturally hopes to make its own voice in the plan to manage the country.

But no matter what the public opinion in the middle school is, whether you are eager to fight, if the court wants to make a comprehensive trade-off on whether the war is initiated, it is best to avoid direct contact between the handle and the wallet, which needs to be isolated in procedurally.

So after listening to the two of them, Li Tong nodded to Liu Youqiu and said to Zhang Renyuan: "The Privy Council's capital account and book, and the case is prepared for reference. Only the pastoral stables, machinery and material warehouses need to make separate plans, and the matter will be returned to the Wufu."

Although the Privy Council does not participate in the overall financial management of the country, it can have the power to count the number of war horses, equipment and other arsenal materials, which can be regarded as a supplement to its authority and establish the Privy Council's position over the military officials in the imperial structure.

The checking and grading of huge inputs are both top priorities that need to be resolved before the New Year. When both matters have been properly resolved, the subsequent atmosphere of discussion does not need to be as serious and tense.

Taking advantage of Yang Zaisi's flattery, Li Tong continued to smile and said, "This World Expo is unprecedented, and all industries are prosperous, and the clues are already revealed. Some people say that the family and country are difficult to revive, but with the assistance of the government and the assistance of each government, each showing off its talents, and it is really gratifying to have nearly half of its journey!

The world is getting newer and newer, and the rules and regulations are still based on old books. It is not that the previous ministers are not wise in their efforts to solve their laws, but because everything is renewed, the old laws have lost the clarity of detail and the cleverness of the circle. Today's people also need to strive for their intelligence, pick up the details and make up for the leaks, and make up for the rules of the world."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and said yes. The code that the imperial court has followed is still the "Yonghui Law" compiled during the Yonghui period of Emperor Gaozong, which has been around for nearly fifty years.

During this process, the Tang Dynasty, both the court and the people, under amazing changes occurred in all aspects. No matter how classic the old laws were, they were inevitably omitted and missing in response to the current world.

Just like this time, the case and inspection of the court will definitely find a large number of problems, but if the judgment is followed by the Yonghui law, there will definitely be many rulings that are insignificant and inappropriate, and they will not reflect the current ruling ideas and policies of the court.

Although the outer court was nervous because of the establishment of the gouyuan, the final accountability of this gou inspection was destined to be just a loud thunder and a small rainfall, and the shock was greater than the actual punishment. The main reason was that it involved a wide range of areas but did not have strict legal rulings.

Therefore, the current Kaiyuan New Dynasty does need a new law code to deal with the current issues.

As for this new law, Li Tong was not satisfied with deleting and supplementing it on the basis of the Yonghui Law. He needed a more comprehensive and grand "Kaiyuan Law" as the imperial edict, and carried out systematic state rectification under the premise that there is a law to follow.

Now I have a little talk with the important officials and predict that the focus of the court next year will be on the compilation of this new law, and then the inner court meeting on this day will end.
Chapter completed!
