The officials in the game of fate are full of nepotism, which leads to many officials at the bottom who are truly capable of doing things.

Otherwise, the middle and high-level officials rely on relationships to get higher, and the lower officials will be able to operate the government?

Rely on those brainless game soldiers?

After being promoted to a real vassal state, Tang Hongzhi already knew that after becoming the ruling class, the pattern of rule began to move closer to reality.

The biggest change is that taxes are no longer the rules of the game of fate to help collect fixed amounts, but Tang Hongzhi personally needs to set up officials similar to tax officials, and recruit tax collectors, or directly allocate some game soldiers to help collect taxes.

Tax collection is also based on physical objects. It is not just a document that can be issued. The tax collector and tax collector need to bring taxes to various villages and towns.

Therefore, how much tax can be received depends entirely on the ability of the rulers of the vassal states and the ability of the staff to be established.

Because of this freedom, tax collection methods have become diverse.

The most common ones are the two models of levy-type tax-keeping system and the direct establishment of a tax team with a large number of tax collectors and tax officials.

These two models have their pros and cons. The latter receives a total amount of taxes entirely depends on the ruler, while the former can save the trouble of building a huge tax department.

In addition, rulers of various tax rates can also be customized at will.

For example, how much is the amount of commercial taxation, how much is the amount of agricultural taxation, how much money is required to pay for those gentry classes every year, etc.

In the world of Destiny Game, although the gentry class does not have to pay taxes, it needs to pay tribute to the vassal states, which is actually a disguised tax payment...

As for the tax collection statistics, the yamen also need to arrange the management of officials themselves.

Therefore, even in a small Qingping County, there were dozens of civilian officials in the original yamen responsible for tax management statistics, and there were more people doing miscellaneous work below.

Many of the hundreds of constables before did part-time jobs. After all, public security issues cannot occur every day, and there is no need for so many constables to be dispatched.

Obviously, except for the top leaders above, the officials below are all paid for their own wages, unless they are village officials like Li Xiuying who are outside.

Tang Hongzhi discovered that if you want to become a qualified ruler, just counting taxes is a huge and complicated task!

For example, how should commercial tax be collected?

There is no information technology in this era, and it depends entirely on manpower to supervise and count. God knows how much goods merchants sell and how much profit they make!

If you want to draw taxes from your turnover, you must first establish a complete set of supervision and statistical organizations!

This organization alone is enough to make Tang Hongzhi very angry...

He doesn't have that kind of ability!

The easiest thing to count is the capita tax and land property tax. However, the amount of this tax is not high and is mostly fixed. Increasing the tax rate can easily cause a large number of people to flee.

After carefully queried the ruling mode of the feudal states, Tang Hongzhi realized that the game of fate was too close to reality and was not a good thing.

Even if you manage a county town and its subordinate villages and towns, you need many officials with certain abilities to assist you.

If you simply appoint a Li Xiuying, you will be an arbitrator at most...

It’s okay to say in other aspects, tax collection is definitely not possible. If you rely on the current yamen, in addition to the fixed land tax and count tax, there will be serious tax evasion in other aspects!

The reason is that Tang Hongzhi does not have enough professional talents to conduct statistics supervision and management...

This is also a major reason why Tang Hongzhi chose to run all industries.

How great is the official business? All shops and craftsmen are under the management of the government. They only need to formulate a reasonable production standard based on productivity and carefully inspect the product qualification rate.

Those shops do not expect to make a profit. Anyway, that thing is directly linked to the bonus commissions of employees below. Without Tang Hongzhi's supervision, the people below will keep a close eye on it.

The system of farming and warring troops solved the tax problem. Tang Hongzhi did not have to establish an unreliable tax-packing system, nor did he have to spend extra money to establish a huge tax yamen, and he also suddenly had a large group of soldiers.

The management model can be completely copied from the military. The soldiers who are farming and fighting are managed and trained according to the level and level. It is enough to issue a clause to recruit people when needed.

The system of farming and warring the government soldiers is very practical in places where there is little conflict between people and land. The main disadvantage of this system is the suppression of the commercial economy.

The land was divided equally. In order to ensure that the government soldiers did not go bankrupt in their business, they could not allow free land to be traded. It is natural that it is difficult to produce a rich class.

Without the rich class, no one has enough capital to do business.

Starting capital is required to do business!

Moreover, because the system of farming and warring the government soldiers protected the family of the government soldiers, Tang Hongzhi could not allow lending to occur, and the loans released by the previous gentry class naturally disappeared as they collapsed.

In this way, civilians cannot raise large amounts of funds, and if they have no money, they can only stay at home and farm.

And use the farming output to support the expenses of the strong men in the family going to the army.

This is the system of farming and war in the government system of half-soldiers and half-agricultural.

Typical emphasis on agriculture and suppress commerce!

Therefore, under this system, other industries must be run by the government, otherwise the economy will really become stagnant.

After all, the family of the military soldiers cannot rely solely on land production, at least the weapons and equipment cannot be built by themselves.

This is the reason why the official institutions in feudal society are extremely developed. They are not developed enough!

As we all know, corruption is easy to breed corruption, which is not a problem for Tang Hongzhi. He has the talent of a son of destiny, so in the future he can recruit more absolutely loyal blue officials to supervise.

The flaw of the farming and warring system lies in the reproduction of the population.

Due to the equal distribution of land, every household had a large amount of land at the beginning. Moreover, due to the serious policy of raising agriculture and suppressing commerce, people's entertainment life became very scarce, and they were only created by training.

A large amount of family land gives the family the surplus grain to increase the amount of ditches, so it is natural that it can give birth to children.

When two or three generations pass, the increase in population will cause the original land to be unable to afford, making the family of the military soldiers increasingly poor.

Moreover, the soldiers of the mansion are inherited by the eldest son, and the second son and the third son can only stay at home to farm. When the land production is not enough, the whole family will lose themselves because of too much diarrhea!

The poor mansion soldiers would have no spare money to maintain weapons and equipment and other service expenses, and the mansion soldiers would eventually become beggar soldiers...

In real world history, the government (guards) system of the Tang and Ming dynasties was so declining, and the corruption of officials only accelerated this process.
