13. Reset the Thirteenth House
The next day, the Hanlin Court of Daming Palace issued a purple-nite edict, expressing its statement: the Shaanxi Road can be transferred to Zhongdu, and the Shaanxi Prefecture, which was also led by the Shaanxi Prefecture, and the Henan Water and Land Transportation Envoy, was dismissed. Since then, the patrols were rebuilt in the seven places of Heyin, Dongdu, Yuanqu, Jijin, Shaanxi Prefecture, Yongfeng and Dongwei Bridge. The transit warehouses were no longer the Shaanxi Province and the local county magistrates in Henan. The Salt and Iron Transportation Office of the Sansi Department of the Ministry of Revenue sent officials to come to the business to "subsidize their responsibilities" and directly responsible for the subordinate Du Huangshang.
Taking this as an opportunity, the court officially began to abolish the "Miscellaneous Law" promulgated by Dou Shen in the past.
The so-called "Gao Gui" is for the long-term plan, which is believed that the "grain system" established by Liu Yan requires the financial supply of the entire patrol, the transfer agency system, and all the ships and sailors in the canal transport were too "defeat the people and the money". So Dou Shen delegated the power of the canal to Fangzhen along the way to take responsibility. The court only needed to collect taxes and provide for the part. Dou Shen's trip was mainly to please Fangzhen in the Central Plains, especially the Xuanwu Army. As a result, this law was implemented for only one year. The court's tax and rice in the eight roads of the Jianghuai towns were intercepted and deducted by Xuanwu and other Fangzhen Towns. The grain and salt law were greatly damaged. If it were not for Jiannan, Xingyuan, Fengxiang, Shannan, Jingnan and other places full support during this period, and the emperor's shameless Xuansuo, the court had almost no funds to fight against the war against Dangxiang and Xifan.
At this time, Gao Yue, Du Huangshang and other priests said to the emperor that if they wanted to remove Guandongfang Town, they would rely on the finance and taxation of the Jianghuai River as "investigation of rebellion", so they had to abolish this secret method that harmed the country and the people first.
This is the reason for this edict.
In the middle of winter, the imperial official army camp was stationed in Zhongmu on the border of Xuanwu Town. Li Wanrong and the generals of Bian Song came to greet him, expressing their respectful attitude towards the court. The court also took the opportunity to send the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, who had just returned from the Beiting of the Western Regions, to serve as the envoy of Xuanwu Army.
In addition, Ju Wenzhen took office with a special seal. From then on, in order to strengthen the authority of military supervisors in each town, the emperor engraved the "Military Supervisor Seal" and sent it to the Military Supervisor Courts in each town. He also said that the major disposals within the town and the memorials and exchanges with the court must be stamped with the military supervisor seal before it takes effect.
Ju Wenzhen had a stern face and brought the seal straight into the Bianzhou military city. The Xuanwu army was silent. Then Ju Wenzhen entered Liu Xuanzuo's old house and paid homage to Xuanzuo's mother. He told her that Liu Shining had peace of mind and mourned in the capital, and asked what pillars there were in the family?
Liu Xuanzuo's mother sat in front of the spinning wheel. After thinking about it, she replied that Shining was driven away and Xuanzuo's son-in-law Zhai Zuoben was killed. If he insisted on the Tongliang, Xuanzuo also had a nephew who was now guarding the territory of Songzhou. His name was Han Hong.
Hearing this, Ju Wenzhen was overjoyed. After giving Xuan Zuo’s mother wealth, he came to the military yard and told Li Wanrong that Xuan Zuo’s nephew Han Hong was both civil and military, so that he could be the new military envoy of the capital, so that he could use Xuan Zuo’s old grace to conquer the morale of the army in Xuan Wu Town.
Li Wanrong and his son Li Nai couldn't help but scold him. Who didn't know that this was a check and balance plan for the military supervisor Ju Wenzhen? But now the situation in Xuanwu Town can't help but be arbitrary and domineering, and can only agree to Ju's request.
Soon, Han Hong became the chief censor of the original prosecutor, and was promoted to the Censor General by the court. He rushed up with a rocket and led hundreds of subordinates from Songzhou to Bianzhou City, and became the new envoy of the Xuanwu Army's military commander.
At the same time, the Bianzhou Transportation Inspection Institute, which Xuanwu Army owned, was officially abolished, and the institute was also taken over by the court's Salt and Iron Transportation Office.
Not only Bianzhou, Gao Yue's Zhongshu Menxia Province issued a case issued by the Ministry of Education clearly stipulates that the 13 patrols and patrols were abolished in all places on the canal transport line, and the 13 patrols were restored from the Liu Yan era, namely Yangzhou (Yangzi), Bianzhou, Chen Xu, Lushou, Baisha, Huaixi, Hanqiao, Songzhou, Runan, Zhejiang, Yanyun, Zhenghua, and Sizhou. These 13 patrols all had magistrates. They urgently selected a group of talented people from the censors to take on their responsibilities. Gao Yue also stipulated that the main responsibilities of these 13 patrols were to control boat transfer, salt distribution, the severity of goods (price), and every other month, the prefectures and counties must be controlled.
The materials for the rain and snow are formed, and reported to the Ministry of Revenue Department, so that the court can grasp the local disaster situation; in addition, the patrol also has two extremely important positions, one is to "catch traitors and stealers", and the traitors here are private salt dealers, mountain sheds, and river thieves (of course, these three also overlap), and the other is "banning traitor irrigation". The main line of the canal transport is the Bian River. Although it has been dredged many times, the river bed is still very shallow. This is the reason why the river ship does not enter Bian. People or local tyrants along the river like to secretly dig open the door and water the planted millet and vegetables, which can easily cause the river water to dry up and the ships to get stranded.
The case of this hall was released again. All the states under the jurisdiction of the original law complained to Gao Yue through the Beijing Enju Academy, saying that the entourage ships we built with great energy were in vain? Please ask the Central Office to be kind and spend some money to buy these ships. Anyway, the Salt and Iron Department and the various patrols also need ships immediately, right?
"This matter is handled by Zhang Pang. The money he spent is deducted from his three taxes for next year's salt, tea and wine." Gao Yue was very smart. He wanted to take down the local ship, but he was afraid that the officials who were handling would make a profit, so he directly contracted it to Zhang Pang, who was sentenced to salt and iron, and deducted the money he spent from your "performance" and was not afraid that you would take the opportunity to embezzle.
Zhang Pang was a little unhappy, but he was even more afraid. He had been in a relationship with Dou Shen before, afraid of being treated as a "legacy" to be cleared. It was said in the court that Gao Yue really wanted to abolish him, so Wang Shao would replace the position of the Salt and Iron Transport Department. So Zhang Pang finally had to sue the Secretariat and begged Gao Yue: The court stipulated that the salt profit quota in the southeast should reach 6 million trump cards every year. In order to make up for the full amount, the humble have worked hard. If you want to buy a ship again, it will be really difficult. Please allow me to resign from the position of Yan and Iron and give me a idle prefecture and county to deal with it as the governor.
Previously, when Gao Yue was the Minister of the Secretariat, Zhang Pang asked the court to appropriately lower the quota for salt profit. At that time, the emperor had consulted Gao Yue, but Gao Yue said that the prime minister was an official who made decisions on the truth, not a government official who handled salt affairs. He refused and refused without comment.
Gao Yue was very straightforward now. He flew the hall to Zhang Pang in the Ministry of Revenue Department and said with a gentle voice: Now the court's salt tax is more than enough for the northwest, Hedong, Sanchuan, and Kuifu. In the future, the southeast of the Jianghuai River will not have to pay so much salt profit. I have discussed with the Holy Lord. In the past, the quota of 6 million guan was at least half of the quota of 6 million guan was mixed and valuable "light goods" to make up for the numbers. Now, after listening to your suggestion, cut half of it directly. Zhang Pang only needs to hand in 3 million guan of salt profit in the next year, but three-fifths are cash and two-fifths are medium and high-quality silk cloth, so there is no light goods.
Zhang Pang, who received this certificate, was immediately grateful and couldn't help but praise Gao Yue, "It really has the style of a temple!"
