Chapter 102: A Sudden Reward of Grace

Daiyi is its own territory, so it is necessary to grasp it in detail, at least to grasp the situation in Daiyi City in detail.

A private visit to Weifu is a good idea. Walking on the street, Zhao Xing understood that he was tricked by his daughter-in-law, and she wanted to go shopping. As a result, a private visit to Weifu, which was originally very exciting, became a very painful errand.

The daughter-in-law was picking things out in a small shop, and Zhao Xing stood bored at the door and looked around.

Daiyi is not small, because he is located at the key point of the north and south, and it is the node before the merchants go south to climb the mountains and enter the desert in the north, so it can be said to be a city-level city in the north of Zhao State. Although it is withered, the withered city is also a city.

Zhao Xing is standing on a main street, like this main street, Daiyi has three vertical and horizontal, which is already amazing.

At this time, there was a camel caravan, coming slowly, and the one pulling the camel was a Hu man, to be exact, Lou Annoying, and there was a person tied to one side of the camel, which was a slave.

Zhao Xing was interested and forgot that his daughter-in-law followed this camel caravan and wanted to see where he was going and what he was doing.

Turning this street and onto another, the camel caravan stopped in a small square. The place where this camel caravan stands is the city of Daiyi. Not only could slaves be bought and sold here, but slaves could also be bought and sold, or human helpers could be hired.

But now that Daiyi has withered, even the labor market is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

This annoying man was very disappointed to see that there were few buyers. He was disappointed not by the price, but by the sales volume.

In this era, although the monopoly of commerce by the state or aristocratic families was broken from the Spring and Autumn Period, and merchants became the profession and mainstream, prices were still controlled by the state, and the purpose was to fear that merchants would compete with the people for profits and cause hardship to the people.

Therefore, there is a system, called Pingjia, that is, the state stipulates a price standard every month according to the situation, and it can fluctuate up and down, but it cannot exceed one percent, and if this provision is violated, then the punishment is very heavy.

Watching this Hu and a few people discuss these slaves, Zhao Xing listened to it from the side.

These slaves were looted by Loudi last time when he led troops to invade Yan and Zhongshan, and there were a lot of them, but Lou Nuren did not dare to sell the captured slaves to Yan and Zhongshan, that was not to sell slaves to make a fortune, that was to send his own head. Therefore, their only passage can only be the Daijun of this Zhao State. As a result, Daijun withered, and there was no real manager, so he couldn't buy much each time.

"Nine hundred yuan a piece, one hundred yuan lower than the price of Pingjia last month, how about it?" This Hu businessman gritted his teeth and bled heavily, jumped off the building and sold it.

This is also a matter of necessity, because Lou Fu has not yet recovered from the locust plague in the previous winter, and there are no surplus cattle and sheep to feed these slaves.

As a result, those people still hesitated.

Zhao Xing's eyes are bright, there are many slaves in Lou Annoy, isn't this a good opportunity to increase the population quickly?

Okay, be a good person again, help Loudi, and continue to show him kindness.

So, Zhao Xing walked back to his daughter-in-law's place, but his daughter-in-law went back early.

Zhao Xing returned to the mansion in fear and went directly into the lobby. Tofu Xi Shi is a tiger, but she is a reasonable person, and she will never enter Zhao Xing's lobby. Of course, it is inevitable to hide behind the screen and listen to Bijiao, after all, there is little entertainment in this era, and listening to Bijiao is also a novelty to pass the boring time. Tofu Shih Tzu explained it this way at the time, and Zhao Xing also accepted it so happily.

He called a waiter: "You go to the human market, call the group of people, and then call the Hu merchant as well." ”

The waiter took the order.

He also instructed a waiter: "You go and call Qi Fei and Old Doctor Zhou, I have something to say." "135 Chinese

Qi Fei and Zhou Tong didn't go back to their homes, because Daijun was new and had a lot of things, so they were busy with their own affairs in the courtyard that they had opened up for the office next to the mansion.

With little effort, the two of them came in, and after giving the salute, they sat on the stool that should be sitting on themselves and waited for Zhao Xing to explain the task.

Zhao Xing did not talk about official affairs, but cared about the lives of officials at all levels in a serious manner.

"Our structure has been set up, and officials at all levels should be in place."

Zhou Tong, the envoy of the ministry, replied: "The officials at all levels and the subordinate liao of the yamen have been allocated, and the government can operate normally. ”

Zhao Xing sighed, and then asked: "Everyone is from the Central Plains, are you still used to life?" How is the home settled? Are all the servants fully equipped? Everyone is a scholar, and the dignity that should be there or the dignity that should be there is this identity. ”

Being so considerate, Qi Fei and Zhou Tong were very moved. So Qi Fei said: "We are all single to follow the Lord, so now that we have just arrived, everyone is busy with government affairs with high spirits, so everyone does not pay much attention to the affairs of home and slaves." Let's talk about that later. ”

Zhou Tong was upright and said directly: "Everyone also wants to be decent and stable, but everyone is single, and they can't get much help from their original family, and they can't settle down if they want to, so everyone is living a tight life." "The fortunes of this era are calculated according to the year, and the accounts are settled after the autumn, which is how it came.

Zhao Xing's face was painful: "It's all my fault, I only care about being high, but I forget the suffering of my colleagues, I am responsible." ”

Seeing that the lord Xingjun was so ashamed and painful for the life of his subordinates, even the rigid Zhou Tong was moved: "Xingjun doesn't have to blame himself too much, everything is difficult at the beginning, and after this period of time, everyone is stable, and the subsidies of each family will arrive, and it will be good at that time." ”

Zhao Xing decided, "I want to think about what my subordinates think, I am going to give everyone three months' worth of money first, so that everyone can have a little more money, and then buy some slaves and servants to make everyone feel at ease." ”

As a result, when he said this, a little maid came in like a cat, and after lying in Zhao Xing's ear and muttering with a smile for a while, she retreated like a cat.

Zhao Xing straightened his body and coughed: "Well, it's not advisable for Yin to eat grain, Yulu, or at the end of the year, this is the rule, and the rules can't be changed." ”

Changing their faces faster than cats, which made Zhou Tong and Qi Fei, who were just about to be happy, very depressed.

Zhao Xing smiled proudly: "So I decided that each of the six long histories will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan for the purchase of slaves and slaves, and 1,000 yuan will be reduced in order according to the rank." ”

This is a big deal, according to the current level of Zhao Xing's Xingjun Mansion, the lowest county-level officials can get three thousand yuan.

In this era, a pound of gold is only 10,000 yuan, a piece of wheat is only 300 yuan, and a zhang of cloth is only 11 yuan, and the money is very valuable.

At that time, Qi Fei and Zhou Tong immediately stood up and saluted behind the screen: "Thank you for the favor of the master." ”

Zhao Xing pointed to his nose: "My money, my decision, you should thank me as the master." ”

Qi Fei Zhoutong smiled relatively, that means very obviously, the money is yours, but do you have the final say?

Behind the screen, Tofu Shih Tzu said with a smile: "The money belongs to the owner of your family, so thank the owner." Then Qi Fei said, "I'll go back now and send the money to Doctor Qi's household according to the amount, and ask the doctor to bother to distribute it as soon as possible." Then there was no more sound.

Zhou Tong pressed Zhao Xing and sighed: "Virtuous help." With such a virtuous and virtuous wife, why worry about the Lord's ambition and career failure. ”

Zhao Xing smiled modestly, but said in his heart: "When I go back, I will perform a weekly salute and Zhenfu Gang." ”
