Zang Hong's second government work report has lasted for a long time, and he has been talking about his several new policies and his imagination for the future around the construction of the new village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a short working meal, the military and political meeting continued in full swing, and it was Zang Hong who continued to report on the third important task of the government, that is, economic construction.
In addition to food, the second biggest problem should be the economic problem, money can make the devil grind, no money in this era, it is still difficult to move an inch, not to mention that Yuan Lang is facing such a big stall, no money, let alone operation.
However, Zang Hong was a general at this time, since he knew that Yuan Lang was very concerned about economic issues, of course he would not disappoint Yuan Lang, and even exceeded Yuan Lang's expectations.
“…… The county shops are registered one by one, classified according to different items sold, a total of three categories, according to the level of low-level department stores, miscellaneous goods, middle-layer cloth grain and oil, upper layer of salt iron, jade, horses, these three levels of different taxation, department stores and miscellaneous goods are urgent for the people's livelihood, the tax should not be high, it is a lower level, cloth grain and oil is more scarce, slightly extravagant is characterized as an intermediate level, and salt and iron, jade, horses are quite profitable, and the tax is naturally rising, positioning the superior...... In addition, the owner of more than three stores is additionally levied a market tax, which starts with three, and there is no upper limit, and the more stores there are, the more the market tax, but the stores that are subcontracted to other operators are not counted! ”
When Zang Hong said this, he glanced at Yuan Lang with admiration, because this "overlord tax" was proposed by Yuan Lang without the ancients and no one after him, so that those big merchants all subcontracted out the shops they held in their hands, so as to enrich more people, which is also the special effect that Yuan Lang said to Zang Hong at the beginning, that is, let some people who want to get rich get rich first, and avoid concentrating wealth in the hands of a few people to cause a pattern of inequality between the rich and the poor.
Obviously, Yuan Lang's trick is extremely powerful, the top merchants led by the Huang family and Longhushan sublet most of the shops in their hands in less than ten days, and the ecstatic lucky ones wept and kowtowed to the county guard's mansion three times, burning incense and praying for the county guard's policy of benefiting the people, and even had a proposal to make a meritorious memorial arch for Yuan Lang.
The memorial arch of merit was naturally vetoed by Yuan Lang, he has already caused a lot of trouble to these big merchants, so it's better to be a little more restrained.
Yuan Lang's worry is still reasonable, because Xie Jianiang, the big boss of Longhu Mountain, made a special appointment to meet Yuan Lang a few days ago because of this matter, in addition to pouring bitter water, he also expressed his support for Yuan Lang, which also made Yuan Lang, who felt a little guilty in his heart, overjoyed for a long time.
After Zang Hong finished his report on the preliminary economic work, he made plans for future economic development, so that Zang Hong's government work report was nearing the end.
Yuan Lang's performance in the early stage of Zang Hong cannot be described as satisfactory alone, it is quite satisfied. Zhang Chao put such a capable person and didn't make good use of it, which is simply his loss.
Now it seems that Zang Hong has let go of his fists and feet in Changshan County, as for Yuan Lang's original promise that he would write a letter to Cao Cao, the new lord of Yanzhou, to persuade him to make peace, Yuan Lang has also fulfilled it, judging from Cao Cao's later reply to this matter, he was happy to do this favor, and together he incorporated Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao brothers, which was also expected by Yuan Lang.
Zang Hong also fulfilled his promise, after learning that Zhang Chao's life was not in danger, he no longer mentioned the old master's words, and in his words, he was completely talking about how Changshan County was, and it seemed that he had regarded this place as his home in the future.
Zang Hong's report has ended, his outstanding administrative ability and efficiency have won full praise, this meeting is a military and political meeting after all, since the government report has ended, then the next thing is the military affairs report.
As the current supreme commander of the army, Zhao Yun is the direct reporter of this military affairs report.
"Yun, no, with the trust of the lord and the assistance of my colleagues, I have not sought merit but no fault for more than a month...... At present, the number of non-commissioned officers in our army has been gradually reduced from 58,473 people who have been recruited one after another and the sum of the original soldiers to more than 38,000 at present through the elite army plan emphasized by the lord, and the nearly 20,000 men who have been cut out have all been assigned as reserves to a series of posts such as rural construction, reconstruction of the main city, reinforcement, patrol defense, and agricultural reclamation...... At present, the barracks of our army are divided into four parts according to the east, west, north and south of the county town, a certain supervises the general military affairs of the four districts, and leads the post of commander of the northern battalion, the commander of the eastern battalion is Zhang Yan, the western battalion has one chief and deputy commander, the main commander Huang Long, the deputy commander is Gu, and the southern battalion also has two commanders, the orthodox commander Bai Bo, the deputy commander Yu Poison, and our four battalions are divided into the whole army, each battalion is about 9,500 soldiers...... Not long ago, there was a very serious disturbance of the people, the commander of the Xiying Army, Tong Gui, who occupied the people's daughter and tried to commit rape, although the violation of discipline was discovered and stopped, but the military prestige and reputation of our army have been seriously affected, here, Yun is willing to accept all the punishments of the lord and the people, and is absolutely responsible for the impact of this matter! ”
Zhao Yun used a long space to talk about his achievements in governing the army for more than a month, but he didn't expect to end with such a disgraceful incident.
Zhao Yun's report was short but not lacking in outstanding achievements, if it wasn't for the last thing, I'm afraid he would also win full applause.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about panting, forgetting about squeaking, and they don't know whether to applaud or praise or denounce Wu Chang's occupation of the people's daughters.
"This matter is something that I can't discipline, it's not about Yun Shuai, the lord and you, please punish it!"
Someone finally opened his mouth, and it was Huang Long, the commander of the Xiying, who spoke.
"No, it's not just Commander Huang's responsibility, it's also guilty!"
Deputy Commander Zheng Gu also came out to ask for punishment, this matter has caused a storm in the city, Yuan Lang has been pressing it and not sending it, they have been waiting for it for a long time.
"I can't control that thing in my crotch, this guy should be killed!"
Although Zhang Yan is frivolous, he thinks that his respect for women has never diminished, and when he knew that this happened in Xiying, he rushed to Xiying and scolded Huang Long and Su Gu for a long time, so that the two of them did not slow down for a long time.
Now that this matter is brought up again, it is no wonder that Zhang Yan shouted and shouted to kill on the spot, not giving the parties any chance to judge at all.
