Chapter 749 - Boosting Consumption
Guilin, Guangxi.
In King Jing's Mansion, Emperor Zhu Youzhen was humming a little song while cleaning up the calligraphy and paintings he had written these days.
Official documents from the imperial court were received in various places, saying that the queen mother gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor and was canonized as the crown prince just after the full moon.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard about it, he immediately couldn't sit still and prepared to leave for Nanjing to pick up his grandson.
Yang Yufan, who had been with him in Guilin for a few months, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little reluctant in his heart.
He hurried over and asked, "Why did the emperor hurry back to Beijing?" Guilin has good mountains and good waters, why don't you stay for a while......"
Zhu Youzhen glared at him and said, "What? Now that you even have the crown prince, you still want to see me here? ”
Yang Yufan smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" ”
He was really afraid that the Emperor Taishang would do something before, but now that the court has appointed the crown prince, the country has been decided, and it is even more impossible for the Emperor Taishang to restore the throne.
What's more, the Emperor Taishang has no rights and can't interfere in anything.
Yang Yufan said to the left and right: "Quickly go and prepare the honor guard, and then select a thousand elite soldiers to escort the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing!" ”
"No need!"
Comrade Zhu Youzhen said righteously: "I don't need it, have you ever seen the emperor in history put on a show outside!" ”
Yang Yufan smiled bitterly, he naturally hadn't seen it!
But what he saw was the Emperor Taishang running around outside, which was also the best in history!
Except for Emperor Tianwu, who dares to release his own emperor in history to run around the world!
Yang Yufan naturally didn't dare to let the Emperor Taishang go back alone, and he didn't dare to go against his will, so he had to send 500 elite soldiers in plainclothes to protect him, and informed the Dongchang Branch of the news of the Emperor's return to Beijing.
When he arrived at Wuchang Mansion after walking for half a month, Zhu Youzhen's face was much haggard, the mountain road was difficult to walk, strange and torturous, and it was much better to go to Wuchang, and he could go directly along the Yangtze River to Nanjing.
Zhu Youzhen bumped all the way in the carriage, and he had already gone crazy, and as soon as he arrived in the plains of Wuchang Mansion, he got off the car and began to walk.
Jiangxia County is bustling with people in the city.
On the street, there were patrolmen beating gongs and drums and saying loudly: "The emperor has made the list, the emperor has appointed the crown prince, and everyone has been given benefits!" ”
"What benefits?" Someone asked after the patrolman.
"All the properties of Huangzhuang have been slashed! As long as there is a red cloth hanging in front of the store, the price is cut! ”
The people glanced at the side of the street, and sure enough, they found some shops with red cloths, and some people immediately ran to try them.
There are also some who don't believe it at all, and feel that there is such a good thing, and it is estimated that these Huangzhuang are playing the routine of raising the price and then cutting the price.
Not long after, some people walked out of the shop in Huangzhuang, with happy faces, obviously taking advantage.
Compared with the previous prices, these imperial stores have not raised prices, meat, rice, oil, salt, and wine have all been cut in price, and the emperor has really made benefits!
The crown prince was crowned and the whole world celebrated, and some ministers suggested an amnesty to the world, but Zhu Cihong refused.
When he ascended the throne, got married, and was canonized as the queen, he had an amnesty for the world, and pardoned the criminals who committed petty theft.
This kind of thing should not be too frequent, and it is better to give benefits to the people.
Zhu Cihong decreed that all the royal stores under the Royal Group would be discounted according to the previous price for three days.
There are too many royal shops of the Royal Group, especially the grain shops, wineries, restaurants and other life categories, which are countless.
In order to avoid disrupting the market, Zhu Cihong asked for different discounts for different goods, with a minimum of 20% off, like the profiteering industry of alcohol, 5% off!
Zhu Cihong's move was based on the previous "road introduction case", under the original road introduction system, the people could not move easily, how could this GDP go up?
The first is to stimulate consumption, and the second is to build goodwill and shuffle the capital market.
Led by the Royal Group, other major chambers of commerce will follow suit out of loyalty, which has led to extremely low profits or even no profits.
Many businesses will inevitably raise prices first, and then cut prices, and some people must see through this trick.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and the people compare these black shops with Huangzhuang, which one is honest at a glance.
Counting the purchase of people's hearts, Zhu Cihong's wave of promotions can be described as a ploy and three eagles, losing some profits, not only benefiting the people, but also enabling the Royal Group to gain greater benefits in the future.
On top of that, the common people invisibly began to trust the royal family and accumulated credit capital.
For the profiteers who dare to buy the wool of Huangzhuang, someone will dispose of it!
In the Dezhuang hot pot building in Jiangxia County, the emperor Zhu Youzhen is challenging the perverted spicy.
Usually he doesn't dare to eat too spicy, but today I heard that Huangzhuang's Dezhuang hot pot was discounted, and Zhu Youzhen felt that he had no reason not to take advantage of it, so he challenged it by the way.
Life is full of challenges everywhere, and even if you fail to challenge, it is not a loss......
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Youzhen's face was flushed with spicy and he hurriedly checked out.
Perhaps in order to make up for the regrets of these years, since Zhu Youzhen became the emperor, his favorite thing to do is to travel around and experience the folk style of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past few years, he has never put on a score when he travels, and even his words and deeds have been slowly put down, and he has gradually integrated into the lives of ordinary people.
On the streets of the county seat, Zhu Youzhen was dressed in a green robe, like an ordinary scribe, walking around.
He was surprised to find that there was a new yamen in Jiangxia City, and the plaque was being replaced.
"Court?"
Zhu Youzhen looked at the newly hung plaque curiously, very puzzled.
After serving as an emperor for more than ten years, he knew more about the administrative structure of the Ming Dynasty than anyone else, including the local yamen officials.
There are many people in the leadership team of a county, including the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, the canonical history, the patrol inspection, the post officer, the gate officer, the ambassador of the tax department, and the ambassador of the river station.
They have a clear division of merit, the county magistrate manages the county's administration, and some are also in charge of the military, and most of the official ranks are seven grades.
The county is an official rank of the eighth grade, one person, who assists the county magistrate in managing the county government.
The main book is the official rank of Zhengjiupin, one person, who manages the county's grain tax, household registration, etc.
Classic history, not into the stream, one person, in charge of arrests, prisons.
Some small counties with a household of less than 20 miles do not have a county or a master book, and the unpopular canons assume the responsibility of the county and master book.
Three stone rice per month, but doing the work of three people, it is good to meet a more diligent county, if you meet a lazy county, this history will be abolished, which is equivalent to contracting the administrative affairs of the entire county.
The Inspection Department is in charge of arresting thieves, interrogating treacherous and false people, and maintaining local law and order. (Equivalent to the Public Security Bureau of later generations)
The original chief inspection was the ninth product, and the deputy inspection was from the ninth product, and after the local innovation of the Tianwu New Deal, Zhu Cihong changed the head of the inspection department to the director, and the quality was increased to the eighth product.
The chief officer of the post station is the post man, who has not entered the stream, and is in charge of the postal transmission and greeting and sending off of a county. (Equivalent to the post office and government guest house in later generations)
The tax department, as the name suggests, collects taxes locally, and the ambassador of the chief tax department has not entered the stream and has no grade.
