Chapter 47: Martial Arts Competition
Ling Qi greeted him with a smile: "My lord, can you take a step to speak?" ”
He wants to get accommodation through the back door, pulling connections, and bribes.
Lingqi has been in business for a long time, familiar with people and the world, in the past in Qi, Yan, Chu when doing business, if you encounter problems, use this trick is often more effective.
This household member is named Zhang Xing, and he doesn't eat this set.
Zhang Xing said solemnly: "The shopkeeper of the mausoleum, this official is official, and if you have anything to say, you can just say it." If you bribe an official of the imperial court, it is a serious crime! ”
Hearing him make his words clear, Ling Qiton was disappointed.
Zhang Xing handed a piece of cloth to Ling Qi, and Ling Qi opened it to see that it was a precaution for being a businessman and a big landowner.
In terms of population, it must be reported truthfully, and no one is bad. If it is found that the person is concealed, it will be fined, confiscated family property or even jailed. If there is an increase or decrease in the number of people, it must be reported to the government within half a month.
In terms of taxation, tax evasion and tax evasion are not allowed in both land and commercial taxes, and it is clearly stated that if there is a violation, there are specific penalties according to the severity.
Those who dare to bribe officials will have their property confiscated and will be imprisoned.
Such a policy can be described as quite severe, Ling Qi looked at the content on the cloth, his heart was gloomy, and in the cold winter, beads of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.
So far, Ling Qi has to cooperate obediently.
Zhang Xing asked Lingqi to gather all the people nearby, and then checked them one by one, ninety percent of them did not have a hukou and belonged to Lingqi's servants.
In order to facilitate the handling of affairs, when Zhang Xing came here, he ordered people to prepare all kinds of objects and materials, and now they are registered on the spot for those who do not have household registration, and identity certificates are issued on the spot.
For those who were not present and had no time to notify those who came, Zhang Xing asked Ling Qi to truthfully report and register first, and then send someone to confirm his identity later.
According to the on-site verification, coupled with Ling Qi's report, among the people currently in charge of Ling Qi, there are more than 12,000 people in Zhao State, of which more than 1,300 have normal household registration, which is equivalent to working for Ling Qi, and the others are servants who have no right to personal freedom. These servants ploughed the land of Lingqi and worked in the handicraft workshop of Lingqi, and all the fruits of their labor belonged to their masters.
In addition, Ling Qi still has thousands of servants in the Qi State, the Zhao State, and the Chu State, which can not be said to be not rich, ranking among the top five richest people in the world.
It took more than half a day for the household registration to be completed.
Before leaving, Zhang Xing said to Ling Qi: "The shopkeeper of Ling, the Ministry of Commerce has a notice to invite the merchants of Zhao State to discuss with the Ministry of Commerce on the 18th. ”
Ling Qi asked, "Master Zhang, I don't know what's going on?" ”
Although the subordinates in the salt shop in the capital had already relayed to him the words of his uncle's departure that day, he still hoped to know what was going on as soon as possible.
The loss of the right to operate the salt industry, the reform of the land endowment, and the increase in the commercial tax rate were major losses for Lingqi and the corresponding merchants.
However, even according to the new policies of the imperial court, those big landlords and merchants outside the salt and iron industry will still be profitable, but they will not be as profitable as before.
Zhang Xing replied: "The official just reminded you that you will know what the specific matter is." ”
In the territory of Zhao State, other powerful and wealthy people have been successively inspected by the Ministry of Households, and in order to ensure the smooth development of the work, for the main objects of verification, there are also troops who follow the Ministry of Households.
Under the strong policy, there were no powerful people who dared to oppose the imperial court for the time being.

On this day, the weather was overcast and cold, and a cold wind blew, and according to modern parlance, cold air arrived.
Zhao Jun's big competition was held according to the original date, and Zhao Xie deliberately went out of the city to observe.
Two days ago, the Ministry of War had already distributed this month's salary, and the soldiers could only receive 80 percent of the amount they should have received, but this month not only the full amount was distributed, but on this basis, it was also increased by 20 percent, which is equivalent to an increase of 50 percent of the actual amount of money.
As long as the combat skills are well trained, everyone will have the opportunity to be promoted, and the morale, fighting spirit, and enthusiasm of the generals will be greatly improved.
On the platform, Zhao Xie sat on the seat, and from this position, the skills of the soldiers in the north, west, and south directions were in full view.
Li Zuoche stayed next to Zhao Xie.
Around the Dianjiang platform, hundreds of Praetorian Guards were guarded, and Yu Wei, as a guard captain, was also among them.
Different King Zhao, the new policy brought new hope, and the soldiers were with great enthusiasm and were not affected by the cold wind.
The competition is divided into a number of events, before that, Zhao Jun took the captain as a unit to determine the people with excellent results, and the top soldiers in each captain participated in today's finals.
At the end of the hour, the competition began, and each event was fiercely competing, and all the soldiers involved in it played their highest level.
Witnessing this grand occasion, Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche were very pleased.
Li Zuodao: "With a Ming monarch like the king, today's soldiers and soldiers of Zhao are more energetic than before." What we lack is time, as long as we have enough time, we will definitely be able to train Zhao Jun to become the strongest soldier in the world. ”
After a long talk with Zhao Xie yesterday on military affairs, Li Zuoche benefited a lot, and he again set about making appropriate improvements to his training methods.
Zhao Xie said: "Han Xin's district halberd Langzhong, was named a general by Liu Bang, and his ability to train and command troops has been recognized by the world. We want him to lose in our hands, and play the military prestige of the Zhao army and the national prestige of the Zhao state. ”
At this time, I saw a fast horse rushing towards the south.
The fast horse came to the Dianjiangtai and stopped at a certain distance, said a few words to the guard Yu Wei, and Yu Wei walked up the stairs to the Dianjiangtai.
"King, I have important information to report to you!"
Zhao Xie asked him to come up.
After the man came up, he reported the situation to Zhao Xie.
Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche's faces changed greatly after hearing this, and they suddenly felt that the situation was serious, and they returned to the palace together.
The other generals didn't know what was going on, and the competition continued.
