Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2157

On December 28, forty-seventh year of Xuanping, if it is normal, the whole country is naturally peaceful in the days approaching the new year. Most people are busy preparing for the most important festival of the year: spring, even The royal family is no exception. They will start preparing for the Spring Festival state banquet early, and send the honorary Royal Spring Festival state banquet tickets to those dignitaries and typical representatives who have been looking forward to it.

For most of the official structure of the empire, the first 20 days of December, the busiest month of the year, has passed. At most, there are a small number of affairs that need to be finished, and then you can spend it peacefully. This Spring Festival, some people who are not on duty will be able to start their holiday on the 30th day of the new year.

Although the holiday is a bit short, only three days, but it is a rare holiday.

The Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, Winter Solstice and other traditional festivals are holidays, but they are not long holidays that last for several days. Even important festivals such as the Spring Festival are only a mere three-day holiday. Other It’s only for one day.

Therefore, many people in many organizations are already thinking about how to effectively use this rare three-day vacation.

You must know that for many people with official status, it is not easy to get a three-day Spring Festival holiday, and they often have to queue for several years to get their turn.

After all, it is impossible for the official institutions of the Tang Empire to stop operating because of the holidays. Even during the holidays, all official institutions must maintain operations, and even some institutions that have more contact with the people and are related to the people’s livelihood not only do not have holidays during the holidays, Instead, work overtime.

For example, the Patrol Agency!

The patrol officers of Datang have never had the tradition of taking a holiday during the festival, but instead have the tradition of working overtime during the festival!

After all, during the holidays, the flow of people in various public places will increase sharply, and various potential risks will also increase sharply. Therefore, during the holidays, when the people are happy to play, it is the time when the patrol police and other agencies are the busiest.

For other institutions that will not be busier because of the holidays, they must also maintain normal operations, at most with fewer staff, but the necessary on-duty personnel are necessary.

However, this is only the Spring Festival holiday for ordinary officials, and for the high-level officials of the empire, the days approaching the New Year are the most important days of the year!

why?

Because of the budget!

Datang has been a tradition for decades, and will determine the budget for the next year at the end of the year!

And because of the fierce quarrel, the final budget plan is often not finalized until the 30th day of the new year.

And the last few days are often the performance time of the important ministers of the empire!

This performance is really performing!

Because the empire’s annual budget allocation is actually there, it cannot be changed at all. For example, no matter how noisy the military is this year, it is impossible to increase the proportion of military expenditure to 20%. But in the same way, no matter how noisy the cabinet is, it is impossible to reduce the proportion of military expenditure to less than 18%.

Because between 18% and 20%, this is because the Son of Heaven has long since made many professional reports based on the secretariat and economists from the Royal Institute of Technology, and then based on the situation in previous years and the changes in the situation in the next few years. a determined range.

The quarrel between the military and the cabinet can only be fought within this range.

And this kind of fight, in fact, can’t really rely on quarrels. It’s a matter of millions of Tang Yuan. Even if Chen Lifu goes off to fight in person, it’s impossible for others to give in even a single percentage point.

In fact, this kind of debate is more about compromises and transactions that cannot be brought to the table.

And this kind of secret compromise and transaction, the reason why it is said to be secret is because these things cannot be brought up on the table at all.

But, for an official organization, the place that reflects the value is not how much you have done, but how much funding you can get!

If someone else’s department takes 10 million yuan, and you only get back 8 million yuan, then the people in this department will be very dissatisfied and feel that you are not the person in charge of this department.

So, in the duty meeting of the imperial study every year, the ministers on duty and the ministers on duty would quarrel like shrews in order to win money?

Competing for a fart, the specific division has long been discussed in private.

The reason for arguing at the public duty meeting of the imperial study is just to show the attitude to the outside world, especially to the people in this department: I have done my best!

In this regard, it doesn’t matter whether it is a military boss or a civilian boss, everyone does this.

Even Chen Lifu, the oldest and most powerful minister on duty in the imperial study, has to give up his former dignity and end in person. He needs to let all the civil servants know that Chen Lifu is responsible for dealing with the military!

But in fact, in the past two years, Chen Lifu has supported the military in developing and equipping advanced weapons and engaged in troubles overseas.

But, actual support is one thing, public statements are another.

Chen Lifu is like this. Naturally, there are other important officials in the imperial study. They can’t run away. It doesn’t matter what you really think, or even what you did before, but in the past few days at the end of the year , you have to stand firm and stand on the side of this department with a clear-cut stand.

What, people in the officialdom, can’t help themselves!

So in previous years, every few days of New Year’s Day, it was time for a large number of important ministers to show off their acting skills!

However, at the end of this year, it is a bit special. Although these bigwigs are still rushing their acting skills for the annual budget, there is another thing that has become the focus of their recent discussions.

Even public opinion is very concerned.

This is tax reform!

In November, the Son of Heaven had already stated at the imperial government affairs meeting that the empire would continue to promote tax reforms to serve the people’s livelihood.

Although the Holy Son of Heaven didn’t say a few words at that time, you have to know that the previous government affairs meeting was a public meeting, and it would be announced to the public through the Tang Dynasty newspaper after the meeting.

At this kind of meeting, every word that the Son of Heaven said is worth careful consideration and repeated speculation.

Because this often means that the Son of Heaven publicly reveals the follow-up direction!

This time, the Son of Heaven personally talked about tax issues, and he was talking about tax issues in such public occasions, which meant that the empire was about to carry out a deep reform of the tax system.

Many people are even looking forward to the fact that the best way to reform the tax system this time is to restrict the tax system, and it is best to ban the tax inspection team of the tax system.

In a mature and stable empire ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the law enforcement power for illegal and criminal affairs, whether it is other crimes or tax evasion, should be limited to the patrol police.

Rather than saying that a tax collection agency can also have the power to enforce tax evasion and tax evasion.

It doesn’t matter if you have law enforcement power, the key is that the tax department and the armed forces!

The tax department still has a tax inspection team!

The tax inspection team is well-known in Datang, and they fight fiercely!

In the case of armed smugglers who evade and evade taxes, the tax inspection team does not even need to ask for the assistance of the military, let alone the patrol police. The members of the action team in the tax inspection team will be done by themselves.

The fourth largest armed force of the empire, that is not blown out, but played out!

The tax inspection team with artillery, machine guns, gunboats and other heavy weapons, since its establishment, its combat effectiveness has always ranked fourth in the empire, second only to the army, navy, and guards!
