I became the son of Renzong

Such a large investigation team has their own opinions, and the time will definitely not be short.

It is also absolutely possible to start the entire implementation of the Young Crops Law.

Three or four months have passed, and according to the report sent by the Imperial City Division, the investigation should be almost over.

Then there will be chaos again.Zhao Xi hoped that before the investigation was over, that is, before the chaos in the court, it would be best to discuss the clan's affairs first.

It's not that he can't procrastinate, now there is a reason, and he also wants to know who is behind, or who is waiting for him to make mistakes.

"The ancient sage once said: A gentleman will be killed in the fifth generation. Maybe this is not suitable for this place, I just use it as a beginning. From the founding of the Taizu to my generation, the Zhao family has been the fourth generation. "

"The purpose of convening a meeting today is to let everyone discuss whether the royal family policy of the country needs to be adjusted? If it needs to be adjusted, how should it be adjusted?"

Straight to the point.Zhao Xi is becoming more and more impolite now, without a word of nonsense, directly explaining the topic of the convening meeting.

Do you want to take the clan again?Just because of the impeachment of Dongping County King, did it hinder the implementation of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law?

This is the unanimous opinion of all of you.

"The clan system has its own ancestral law. The official family and the dynasty's management of the clan is a good strategy to avoid civil strife. No adjustments are needed."

Another ancestral testimonial.There is no other occupation to be endowed with generous salary; the establishment of the vassal arrived, only to be invited by the court; the crime of the clan is the same as that of ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, the imperial court raises a group of idlers, who eat, drink and play, have jobs and titles but no rights.

Such a management system can indeed effectively prevent clansmen from rebelling and rebelling... After all, in this era, one is orthodox and famous as a teacher.

As an honest butcher, Sima Guang's statement is not wrong.

Zhao Xi wanted to change, so naturally he wouldn't talk about it casually.To persuade the husbands to have the intention to change, there must be reasons to persuade them.

"Here is a set of data, everyone can take a look at it first. As for whether to change it, adjust it or not, let's discuss it after everyone has read it?"

"Let me briefly talk about it. My Zhao Song clan, based on the number of people registered in the Zongzheng Temple, there are now more than 150 surviving three generations, most of whom are county kings."

"The fourth generation, that is, my contemporaries, more than [-] people, are mainly the Duke of the State and the Duke of the County. The fifth generation has more than [-] people so far. According to the laws of the ancestors, they should be named Dukes of the County, Dukes of the County, etc. The county magistrate and so on."

"As for the sixth generation, there are currently nearly 300 people. They should be named county princes and state marquises."

Literati in this era are not sensitive to numbers, and like to use words such as a little, many, etc. instead.

Just like the number of clan members, there is no specific concept of the relatives present.When I grow up, I just feel that the money and food allocated by the imperial court to the clan members are too much every year.

If the imperial court's finances were tight, perhaps someone would have noticed it long ago.In the past few years, the imperial court has been rich in finances. Although the expenses of the clan members have increased, the clan members who are like sheep have not yet been noticed.

"The old rules of the country... are also the laws of the ancestors. Those who have a title must have food. It varies from ten thousand to two hundred households."

"Naturally, if there is a knighthood, there will be a food seal. From a thousand households to a hundred households. The old rule of the country is seven grades."

"Let's take the middle number, take the fourth class as an example, and count [-] households with real food. Clan titles are calculated based on the number of clans."

"One household is sealed, 25 cash per month, 150 cash a year, [-] cash for [-] households. Is there something wrong?"

The data that Zhao Xi gave to the ministers are accurate calculations, and they are also charts and explanations of the court's increasing expenditure year by year.

But now, he was only making a rough estimate, and it also gave these husbands a first impression.

"Cut off the head and pinch the tail, we don't count the three generations, and we don't count the six generations, so we calculate based on the fourth and fifth generations of clan relatives. Four thousand... Let's count it at four thousand."

"Each clan relative actually consumes 60 guan of money and food every year, [-] households, and the imperial court needs to pay [-] guan for clan members every year!"

Civil servants, in their hearts, no one can enjoy it except themselves among all the classes in the country.

The clan are all good children, and there was the Runan Wang family in the early years, but now they have been ignored.It won't attract attention.

Therefore, no one paid special attention to their cost.

Zhao Xi didn't believe that with these statistics, the Zhengshitang could still tolerate it.

This is only an approximation, but the real data summary shows that the annual cost of supporting the clan is about one million guan.

And, at the end of the memorial, there is a vague reckoning.The oldest of the four and five generations is over 40 years old, and the youngest is three or five years old. In another 20 years, the total number of clan relatives will exceed tens of thousands, and the cost of supporting the clan will double...

Even Zhao Xi felt a kind of fear when he saw this number.

Redundant soldiers and redundant officials are often mentioned and well known.

After years of unremitting efforts, the item of redundant soldiers has improved slightly, while redundant officials... are too sensitive and have not moved yet.

Only then did I realize that the clan would also become redundant.

Perhaps in another hundred years, the Song Dynasty will be the first dynasty to be overwhelmed by the clan.

Another inexplicable meeting.

Alas... can't you stop for a while?

Han Qi didn't understand, how could he not stop for a moment since he took charge of the government?Transactions are one after the other.

In the past, the courts were also chaotic, but the chaos was all about the bullshit that you fought with each other. Everyone was very enthusiastic about that kind of thing, and they handled it with ease.

But now?Nothing is easy, it is all about interests.

Yan country!Why don't you take love!Han Qi had had enough.

One Wang Jiefu is stubborn, one Sima Guang is upright, one Ouyang Xiu spends the sun and the moon, one Wen Yanbo keeps a low profile, and the two are the spokespersons of the official family.In the entire political affairs hall, I couldn't find a single heart and mind.

Let's just say that this clan... really should have a charter.But being called around like this by the officials really made Han Qi unhappy.

But what can be done?

Except for Sima Guang's sentence at the beginning, no one said anything after the official said one number after another.

From the bottom of his heart, Han Qi didn't want to say anything, but because the government has been controlling the Zhengshitang like this, he worried that the authority that the civil servants had finally obtained for the past hundred years would be taken back by the officials little by little.

In the end, the political affairs hall became a decoration, a decoration for the officials to speak out.

The last thing you can do is to take the imperial edict, receive the imperial edict, and obtain the imperial edict.

Although on the bright side, the government has not been leading the discussion, but the people in the Zhengshitang have been arguing, but after a few things, Han Qi feels: the Zhengshitang is cooperating with the officials, and everything is done by the officials in control.

Chapter 464

Zhengshitang did not disappoint Zhao Xi.Not only did the Zhengshitang quickly come up with the measures, but it was rare for the Zhengshitang to reach a consensus.

"The law of the clan, the political affairs hall negotiated ten articles. First, Xuanzu, Taizu, and Taizong's sons all choose one person as the clan, so that they can be enshrined in the world, make up for the sanitation officials, and sacrifice them for sacrifices, not because they are exhausted. Grace."

"Secondly, the ancestors spared relatives (distant relatives other than the fifth service), and those who have been given names and appointed officials, below the general level, are free to leave the palace to serve as officials, but they must be heard by the chief minister of Dazong..."
