Good news. The whole court shook and officials reacted more strongly than when they targeted Zhang Jun at that time. One or two of them immediately started to attack like a wild cat with its tail stepped on, and almost didn’t eat this policy maker Shi Hao alive.
One mouthful, one mouthful, one mouthful, one mouthful, one mouthful, one mouthful, one mouthful, one thousand deaths.
Shi Hao has been an official for so many years, and suddenly their mouths become the first disaster in the Song Dynasty, and some people even give Zhao Shen to keep Zhao Shen away from a villain like Shi Hao to avoid being blinded by him.
Be prepared for this reaction, Shi Hao kept indoors and turned a blind eye to many people who suddenly came to his door to harass him.
On the other hand, Zhao Shen also stood firm and cooperated with Shi Hao. He refused to reply to a similar performance table and refused to meet the officials who came to see him. It was not until the whole Shang Province was a little difficult to operate normally that Zhao Shen finally let go.
Since you don’t want the imperial court to levy agricultural tax, it’s better to levy commercial tax. Generally speaking, if the imperial court wants to increase taxes, it’s up to you to choose.
This time, the officials who jumped up were a little afraid to jump. Of the two choices, the latter was much better than the former, and their attitude softened.
Shi Hao came out at the right time and submitted a proposal to increase business tax and send more taxes to several regions. This proposal was quickly signed by Zhao Shen and then quickly handed over to Shang Province for approval, and the whole process was implemented in less than a day.
It’s only a few days before many people realize that this is a duet between the emperor and Shi Hao, and they are playing with each other in a play.
Many people are angry about this, but what is done is done, and there is nothing they can say, just never let Shi Hao feel better.
Business tax is still in the interest of some officials, and they will certainly not pay honestly.
In another sign …
It’s okay for poor people to make money and make it good.
Except for a few people who come out and cry for political performances, most people have no extra suggestions.
The central level of this matter has passed in this way, and there is no response to the local level for the time being.
However, since some people’s interests are damaged, it will never develop smoothly so easily, and more and more special situations will inevitably happen.
In the southern song dynasty, the tax problem was facing here, which caused layers of ripples, and the northern part of the Yangtze River also experienced far-reaching changes
After Su Yonglin returned to Zhongdu, after months of hard work like an old ox, the hell-level workers finally solved many problems accumulated in the chaotic period and got rid of politics. The central court and local governments finally gradually took the established track.
Political cadres trained through assault training courses went to places one after another, and the predecessors who did two or three jobs by themselves shared the pressure.
Hell usually worked overtime until the end of September and the beginning of October of Hongwu three years before Su Yonglin’s large-scale anti-corruption, and during this period, let alone Su Yonglin was tired, even though he had been in good health, Xin Qiji was tired once.
After October, Zhongdu School of Political Science and Law suddenly trained a large number of political cadres, which solved some problems. Xin Qiji was transferred from the army and a group of grassroots cadres also completed the release, gradually filling the vacant positions in the local area.
Su Yonglin can finally let himself and the court take a breath, rest for two or three days, have a good sleep, take a bath and relax.
However, national problems always follow. Just now, there is no overtime in hell every day here, and there is another big problem that hit Su Yonglin’s head.
On October 6th, Hongwu three years, Su Yonglin had just finished a day’s rest when he received a report from Kong Maojie, the head of the supervision department of Fuxing Association.
After reading this report, Su Yonglin frowned gradually.
This is not a sudden problem report, but a long-term problem summary report, which is given by the Ministry of Supervision after several months of investigation.
Su Yonglin’s understanding of grass-roots situation in the past is a process of gradual recovery and development of agricultural productivity at macro level.
But he knows very well that this is bound to happen after he abolished exorbitant taxes and levies and highly exploited farmers.
This is due to the strong resilience and productivity of the small-scale peasant economy, which was restrained and destroyed by the harsh taxes and land merger and poor infrastructure in the past.
He solved the problem of exorbitant taxes and land annexation, strengthened the infrastructure, and released this part of productivity, which suddenly broke out with the high enthusiasm of farmers for production, so the output of summer grain and autumn grain has been rising every year since the founding of the People’s Republic of China three years ago.
Although it can be said that policy has brought about changes, it is also an inevitable occurrence of natural laws. Every dynasty has experienced such a period.
However, the difference between countries lies in the system level. Through the system level, farmers can be mobilized to carry out water conservancy and road repair in different countries, so as to increase food production and resist natural disasters.
The explosive growth of productive forces is also a matter of course, or it is the problem that the economic potential of the system is far from reaching its peak. Su Yonglin did this to accelerate the process of the system’s economic development to its peak.
But this process is not without problems and smooth sailing.
About once every five years, natural disasters and climate anomalies aside, the report of the Ministry of Supervision focuses on the competence of grassroots farmers’ association cadres.
Through this report, Su Yonglin learned some contradictions that are not ignored by the grassroots peasant associations at present.
Chapter 93 disastrous consequences
Su Yonglin was described in this report as some political cadres who were assigned to the grass-roots rural areas to serve as instructors of the peasant associations and some rural peasant associations.
The report said that because the grass-roots organizations of the Fuxing Association showed strong organizational power and action, and the government had a high reputation, farmers trusted the instructors sent by the Fuxing Association and the organization department of the Fuxing Association appointed the president of the rural peasant association.
This situation has greatly promoted farmers and peasant associations, and also enabled peasant associations to organize farmers to do great things to the maximum extent.
However, with the passage of time, village peasant association instructors and village peasant association presidents have appeared at the grassroots level in some places, and they have acted arbitrarily and decided village and township affairs in one word.
According to the visit and investigation by the Ministry of Supervision, the construction of many village farmers’ associations is mainly due to the political cadres of Fuxing Association. In this process, they have established their absolute credibility and prestige to the farmers, so they can bypass the farmers’ associations and make decisions on rural affairs.
Later, the chairman of the farmers’ association was elected by the farmers, and the villagers formed the farmers’ association. On the contrary, after the instructor made the decision, the executive body had no other power
For a long time, the construction and production of farmers’ associations were undertaken by instructors alone because of their lack of knowledge, which required a high degree of discourse.
At first, this did outweigh the disadvantages.
Because there are instructors who have the ability to set up peasant associations and organize everyone to complete land distribution, registration and resume production, others can’t.
At this stage, large and small peasant associations have completed the establishment of a high degree of political integration, and grassroots forces have completed many things that seemed incredible in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, in recent years, with the literacy education vigorously promoting farmers to gradually get rid of ignorance, they have a certain knowledge and a certain thinking ability, but the village instructors seem to have not completed their own transformation from the status of parents.
He’s here to help workers, not the emperor of this village, not to tell everyone what to do.
However, the actual situation is such that the instructors have made great contributions to the establishment of farmers’ associations, the distribution of land, the resumption of production and the guidance of literacy, which made the villagers, including the chairman of farmers’ associations, habitually obey his instructions.
Su Yonglin originally designed the peasant association system, which stipulated that the leadership of the peasant association should be elected by the peasants and the decision-making of rural affairs should be voted by the peasant association. These two provisions were hardly put into operation.
Of course, at the beginning, this system did not have the conditions to operate. It is already the limit for everyone to rely on inertia to recommend everyone in the middle school to be the president of the peasant association.
But with the passage of time, the number of literate farmers has increased, and this situation is changing.
Some instructors and presidents of farmers’ associations have conflicts with farmers because they are too strong, blindly follow the instructions of the superiors and do not sympathize with the actual situation of farmers.
For example, Su Yonglin’s financial situation was well-off because of the victory of many wars, so he formulated a large-scale infrastructure policy, requiring all localities to size up the situation and draw up engineering plans according to actual needs, so as to build enough infrastructure to fight natural disasters in a short time.
As a result, this order has become a call to work hard at all costs and complete water conservancy projects and roads before the arrival of natural disasters!
Therefore, the requirements of government decrees are getting higher and higher. When the township and village farmers’ associations are eager, they begin to ask the village-level farmers’ associations to build roads and water conservancy projects within a time limit.
They must be very happy that the decree was reached quickly and the funds were in place very simply, and then the village was asked to take out labor to build water conservancy and roads, which they thought was beneficial to them
But in fact, when the decree was reached, it was still during the busy farming period, and farmers were still busy with their own land cultivation and some of their own work, and the time limit could not keep up with the lack of enough labor to work.
Some people realize that they have helped to build water conservancy projects and roads, and as a result, their farm work can’t keep up with the progress, and summer and autumn crops can’t be kept well
However, some people did not let the main labor force help build a good road for water conservancy projects, mainly because they were busy with their own farm work, doing well in their own farm work and harvesting well.
As a result, the farmers in the village also had contradictions. They felt unfair and the village farmers’ associations could not coordinate well, so they went on strike and clamored to take care of their land first.
In this case, the reasonable way should be for the village peasant association to negotiate with the level departments and try to adjust the time to reduce the burden on farmers.
Or if there is enough labor force, negotiate with the farmers to organize some labor force to cultivate everyone’s land to ensure that everyone’s agricultural harvest will not delay the other labor force to go to the construction project to meet the level demand.
However, at the actual implementation level, this situation does not happen much. On the contrary, some instructors and village association presidents strive for credit and please the level, regardless of actual needs, forcing the level to complete the goal.
In order to please the class and show their merits and abilities, these village instructors and the presidents of rural peasant associations are very dissatisfied with forcing them to work for farmers regardless of their actual conditions.
More than in some places, village instructors forced migrant workers and farmers to be patient, so they supported the chairman of the peasant association to drive away the peasant association instructors.
Or some instructor who don’t want to see that peasants suffer and lead them to petition the rural peasant associations, which will lead to conflicts between the village peasant associations and the rural peasant associations.
The two sides have repeatedly made trouble in the county, and the officials in the county are also a leader in this kind of thing. They don’t know whether to consider the people’s feelings or consider the level instructions. It is difficult to make decisions at the moment, and they can continue to respond without flexibility.
At first, this kind of thing was relatively rare, which did not attract the attention of the sub-division of the level revival association. Later, with the promotion of the Yellow River Project, these problems suddenly intensified
Finally, with the anti-corruption problem in Shandong, this kind of problem has also been noticed by the Ministry of Supervision.
Kong Maojie noticed this situation through the reports of some counties’ Fuxing Association branches, and then sent people to visit the investigation areas. After several months of on-the-spot investigation, they gathered the materials and wrote this report and handed it to Su Yonglin.
The material lists in detail some local chaos after Su Yonglin issued a decree on the large-scale infrastructure plan.
Su Yonglin fell into deep thinking after reading it.
Because of the dispersion and fragility of small-scale peasant economy, it is difficult to resist large-scale natural disasters, and water conservancy projects in some areas cannot hedge against huge natural disasters
In the event of large-scale natural disasters, the small-scale peasant economy is full of sorrow and hunger.
However, the small-scale peasant economy in China, a land with large-scale natural disasters and abnormal climate every five years, has great uncertainty.
