In February of the first year of Xining (1068), the Law Department of the Third Division was established, which was the first institution established by Wang Anshi to promote political reform. It turned out that the finance of the Song Dynasty was controlled by the Third Division, and Wang Anshi set up the Law Department of the Third Division as the superior organization of the Third Division to co-ordinate the finance. It was the highest financial organ at that time. In addition to studying the reform plan and planning the financial reform, this machine promulgated the Urban Easy Law in March of the fifth year (1072). The government invested1100,000 yuan to set up a "Yi Shi House" (Yi Shi Division) in Kaifeng, to buy vendors' unsalable goods at a fair price, and then sell them when the market is out of stock. At the same time, loans are issued to vendors, with property as collateral, and more than five people are mutually insured, and interest is paid at two points per year. Used to achieve "each takes what he needs, the power is high or low, and the price is flat, so the merger is also suppressed." The market change method has increased fiscal revenue. In the third year of Garbo Faxining (1070), Sinong Temple formulated the Garbo Regulations of Jixian County. Every five groups of rural families have one guarantee, five guarantees and one guarantee, and ten guarantees and one guarantee. Where there are more than two farmers, choose one person to work in Baoding, where he usually cultivates, receives military training in his spare time and enlists in the army in wartime. Take the richest person in the family as the chief, the chief, the chief. Prevent farmers from rebelling and save military expenses.
Second, tax reform.
In the fourth year of Tian Ping (107 1), Sinong Temple formulated the Tian Fang Ping Tax Treaty, which was divided into two parts: Tian Fang Ping Tax. "Tianfang" is a land survey presided over by the county magistrate every September, which is divided into five grades according to the fertility of the soil. "Equal tax" is based on the measurement results of "Tian Fang" to formulate tax amount. Tian Fang's land division tax law cleared the hidden land of the big landlords, increased the national fiscal revenue and reduced the burden on farmers, but it also seriously harmed the interests of big bureaucrats and big landlords, who strongly opposed the law for a long time. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was tried out when Sang Hongyang was working. After the Tang Dynasty, all counties were assigned equal officials to achieve the goal of "receiving less from the people and using enough for the people". In July of the second year of Xining, in order to supply the consumption of the royal family and officials in Beijing and avoid the gathering of businessmen, delivery messengers were set up on the six roads of Huai, Zhejiang, Jiang and Hu, and they were responsible for supervising the delivery of "supplied" materials from all over the country according to the principles of "moving expensive, using near and easy" and "changing convenience into buying and waiting for orders". It is intended to save labor costs, collect taxes and reduce the burden on the people. ? Wang Anshi's reform
Young crop law In September of the second year of Xining, the young crop law was promulgated. It is stipulated that the grain stored in Changping and Guanghui warehouses should be based on money. When the food price is high, it is sold at a price lower than the market price, and when the price is low, it is purchased at a price higher than the market price. The accumulated cash is divided into two periods every year, that is, the first month and May, when sowing is needed and summer and autumn are immature, and farmers borrow money and goods from the government on a voluntary basis. After the harvest, with the summer and autumn tax, the interest will be increased by two or three tenths to return the food or cash. Young crops law protects farmers from usury when the "merger house" is out of date, and makes farmers "keep pace with the times". However, the phenomenon of compulsory lending in concrete implementation is the most controversial content in Wang Anshi's political reform measures. The Law on Maintenance of Service, also known as the Law on Exemption from Service, was drafted by Sinong Temple in December of the third year of Xining (1070), tried out in Kaifeng, and promulgated and implemented nationwide in October of the same year. The exemption law abolished the original method of taking turns as county officials by households, and changed it to hire people at the county government's own expense. The expenses required by the employees are shared by the family. Female households and temples that were not obligated originally had to pay half of the service fee, which was called "service fee". It liberates farmers from labor, ensures working hours, promotes production development and increases government revenue.
Third, the new water conservancy
It is stipulated that all localities should build water conservancy projects, and the labor materials should be distributed by local residents according to the height of each household. As long as we can't rely on the people to build, we can borrow the insufficient part from the government and earn a penny. If one state and one county are not competent, several states and counties can be jointly responsible.
Fourth, military reform.
Cutting the art of war to rectify the Xiang army and the imperial army: First, it is stipulated that soldiers must retire after the age of 50. Second, the trial soldiers failed to change the imperial army to the Xiang army and failed to change the Xiang army to the citizens. Sun Tzu's art of war is also called "the method of generals". Abolish the garrison law enacted in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Through gradual promotion, the garrison of each road is divided into several units, and each post is equipped with a lieutenant, who is responsible for training the troops to improve the quality of the troops. When Ma Baofa was a god, there were only150,000 horses in the Song Dynasty, and the government encouraged the people in the northwest frontier to raise official horses. Whoever wants to keep horses will be supplied by the government, or the government will pay the people to buy them, one for each household and two for the rich. If a horse falls ill and dies, it will be responsible for compensation. However, when a plague is prevalent, many horses are killed, which will only increase people's anxiety. It was soon abolished and turned to the system of people grazing. In the sixth year of Fa Xining (1073), the exemption law was promulgated in July. In August, a military equipment supervisor was set up to supervise weapons manufacturing; And recruit craftsmen to improve weapons.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) reforms the imperial examination.
Sanshefa hopes to replace the imperial examination with the daily examination of the school and select real talents. "Three-shed method", that is, imperial academy is divided into three classes: outer shed, inner shed and upper shed. "The first class is an official, the middle class is exempt from the examination of the Ministry of Rites, and the lower class is exempt from the solution." Later, local official schools also implemented this method, which reflected the characteristics of the class teaching system. Wang Anshi believes that "if you want a virtue, you will build a study, but if you want to build a study, it will remain unchanged." In the third year of Xining (1070), in March, he was a scholar in palace examination, giving up the three subjects of poetry, fu and theory and trying current affairs. In February of the fourth year of Xining (107 1 year), a new tribute system was issued, and the Ming scriptures were abolished, so that scholars could be selected. Another "Famingke" is responsible for reviewing laws and regulations and adjudicating cases. Talent is useful, and those who are interested in reform are entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and many people have become the backbone of reform.
