Chapter 400

When Qin Huan and Zhang Yan washed and dressed up and came to the study, Qian bin and the ministers arrived just a short time ago.

This was the first time Qin Huan had called all the ministers of the Government Council to discuss the matter. Qian bin had always been alone, so now everyone was secretly wondering.

Is Qian bin out of favor?

Is your chance coming?

How will you behave in front of the king later?

This is almost a problem that will be thought of in the minds of all the ministers, while Qian bin seems a little nervous. After all, this summoning is too abnormal. He not only chose to come in the evening, but also summoned everyone. In addition, there is no clue about the tax issue. It can be said that he is not nervous and does not think about it.

In a short time, it was like standing for half a year. The fine sweat on the back just couldn't stop coming out.

"See the king!"

"I've seen your mother!"

As Qin Huan and Zhang Yan entered the study, nine officials including Qian bin quickly bowed.

"All Aiqing flat!"

"Sit down!"

Qin Huan Xu raised his hand and sat behind the desk. Zhang Yan followed him and stood aside. When they saw Zhang Yan standing, they naturally didn't dare to sit. After thanking him again, they stood on both sides.

Qin Huan didn't care. He glanced at these people and found that most of them didn't know each other. The corners of his mouth twitched and said to Qian bin, "Qian Aiqing, how is the official grade salary formulated?"

"Back to the king, it has been formulated!"

Qian bin was relieved to see Qin Huan coming and asked about it. He hurriedly replied that he wanted to introduce it in detail. An old man behind him rushed out first and began to introduce it.

"Inform the king, after the discussion of the Ministry of household and in accordance with the king's instructions, the first Department officials of our government affairs council are divided into 18 levels from top to bottom, from the white body without grade to the first grade, and the village head grants the ninth grade..."

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he couldn't finish it. It's clear how many prefectures and counties there are in the state of Qin, from the number of goods awarded by officials at all levels to the number of salaries.

This time, Qin Huan also wanted to completely determine the salary of civil servants, because in the past, the government council had no salary, and Qin Huan didn't bother to care about them. It's not too much to say that he used love to generate electricity.

Fortunately, in ancient times, annual salaries were issued. In addition, during new years and festivals, Zhang Yan would also decide to allocate some money to the Government Council and the court, so we really didn't care much about salaries.

Although the old man was wordy, Qin Huan was not impatient, but showed a trace of appreciation and satisfaction, because the formulation was reasonable, at least much more advanced than the previous dynasties.

Except that the village head and town head are paid an annual salary of two liang silver and ten Liang silver each year, all other officials are paid a monthly salary.

No grade officials, five liang of silver a month, are mostly the lowest personnel in the county government in the past and newcomers in the future.

The probationary period of the new couple is one year. After passing the probationary period, they can be awarded the official status of zhengjiupin and become an official civil servant in the state of Qin. Zhengjiupin is twelve Liang silver a month.

These two grades are generally granted to the chief officials of each room of the county government. For example, the prison is granted to the main eight grades, and the other rooms are granted to the eight grades.

From 30 liang of Qi pin and 40 liang of Zheng Qi pin, these two grades are generally awarded to county magistrate and county judge.

50 liang from six grades and 70 liang from six grades are generally awarded to Sanzhi state and state judges.

From five grade 80 Liang and Five Grade 100 Liang, it is generally awarded to Zhili Prefecture magistrate and judge.

120 liang from the fourth grade and 150 liang from the fourth grade are generally awarded to the magistrate and the judge of the first government.

From three grade 170 Liang and three grade 210 Liang, it is awarded to independent state magistrates and state judges.

From 250 liang of second grade and 300 liang of second grade, it is awarded to the governor and provincial judge of one province, as well as the ministers and chamberlains of various ministries.

From 500 Liang for the first grade and 1000 Liang for the first grade, it is granted to the first and second grade, as well as the head of the court.

As for the Independent States, Qin Huan learned from the experience of previous generations and made some improvements to the chaotic state-level administrative units in the Ming Dynasty.

That is, in the future, the state will be divided into three levels. The lowest level of scattered state is half higher than the county, but it will still be under the jurisdiction of the government. Although Zhili state is half lower than the government, it will be under the direct jurisdiction of the provincial level.

The highest level of Independent States, half a level lower than the provincial level, are under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

In addition to the monthly salary, officials also have a monthly money to maintain honesty and a bonus at the end of the year.

In the future, all agricultural taxes will be handed over, most of which will be used as military expenses, and a small part will be used as official salaries, which will be uniformly distributed by the Ministry of household every month.

Half of the business tax of each county shall be paid, and the other half shall be used as the clean money of local officials. It shall be distributed according to the grade of officials, and everyone shall have a share, and the business tax shall be collected once a month.

As for the poll tax collected from the servants employed by the gentry, it will be collected once a year, all of which will be handed over to the Ministry of household, and then part of it will be used as the year-end bonus of officials.

Qin Huan's idea was that within a few years, the tax collected by the government affairs council would be sufficient as long as the salaries of officials and soldiers in charge of the court of the Government Affairs Council and the third court of the Military Affairs Council and the funds for daily operation.

As for the additional funds required for engineering construction, invention and creation, industrial and commercial development and war, the interior government is responsible for all of them.

Because in a short time, Qin Huan didn't plan to collect other taxes except business tax, and two out of ten agricultural taxes had already reached the top.

Qin Huan knew that the large-scale collection of business tax and customs tax would have to wait until the commercial prosperity in the future. At that time, the agricultural tax could be reduced to one out of ten or even lower. After the pigs were fattened, they would be killed again.

Collecting commercial tax on a large scale now is bound to affect commercial development. In ancient times, it was unrealistic to completely replace agricultural tax with commercial tax.

Therefore, instead of collecting business tax on a large scale now, it is better to participate in commercial activities. The advantage is that it can not only earn a lot of silver, but also lead the development of Commerce and reduce the burden of the people.

After all, the ancient transportation was inconvenient and the transportation cost was huge. If additional tolls were charged, the price of goods that were already scarce would remain high and the people could not afford them.

"Well! It's true that the Ministry of household is really attentive, but there are still some details that need to be improved. For example, the seven departments under the Government Council, the corresponding departments under the governor's Yamen, the corresponding bureaus under the magistrate's Yamen and Zhili Prefecture yamen, and the rooms under the county yamen and Sanzhou yamen are very good. "

"By the way, the official uniforms of officials at all levels and the official seals of each yamen should also be standardized. The general color and style of official uniforms remain the same, but they should be able to distinguish the size of production level in terms of details. Well, the official uniforms of the Ministry of punishment should be distinguished from other yamen, and a school should be established to teach the knowledge of new captains to the old captains with case handling experience... That's all for the time!"

"It's the king. I'll supervise it immediately when I go back!"

This time, almost three people lined up and replied at the same time. Qian bin looked at the competing appearance of the Minister of household and the Minister of punishment. His face was black at the bottom of the pot, but it was not easy to attack. He had to bite his teeth secretly and beat these two restless old things hard when he went back.

Qin yuruo took a deep look at Qian bin, and sighed slightly in his heart. This person's ability is limited, which is really hard injury.

He has given so much power that Qian bin can't do what he says in the Government Affairs Council and let all departments obey. The leadership level is really poor.

He will not let the civil servants fight all day like the emperors of previous dynasties. He will spend his mind on scheming and scheming. He will definitely let go of the Government Council and establish the absolute authority of the first and second. He is only responsible for issuing tasks. As long as the results, he will not take care of the process.

If you do well, you will continue to do it. If you don't do well, go away, change someone, and continue to do it again.

As for whether the power is too great, the Government Council will rebel and overhead the emperor. That's a joke. The judiciary has been separated by the court, and the military power can't touch it at all. The only card that can be played is collective resignation and forced the palace.

However, Qin Huan would not allow this scene to happen. Since ancient times, there has been a shortage of people in China, that is, there is no shortage of officials. As long as education is popularized, the era of civil servants forcing the palace will be gone forever.

Now there is no popularization, just use women to replace it, and the effect is the same.
