Chapter 563: Detailed Rules
Liu He sighed softly, "That's because they all know that this meeting cannot afford the slightest mistake, and the establishment of each detailed rule is not only related to the interests of their respective forces, but also has a far-reaching impact on the future pattern of the world." ”
The head of the Zhao family smiled meaningfully, "Some people understand everything, but when it comes to the real thing, don't they run to be lazy?" ”
Liu He still looked at the other side and sighed lightly: "It's not that I want to be lazy, I don't have that ability." ”
The head of the Zhao family picked up the wine jar and took another sip, but this time, it was a look of enjoyment.
"I have that ability, don't I just run out and be lazy?"
Liu He was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the smiling head of the Zhao family, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The head of the Zhao family looked at the attic opposite and said softly: "Although you are just watching from a distance here, I know that your heart is more anxious than any of them. What they are fighting for is only a temporary gain or loss. And what you want is the real world's plan. ”
Liu He smiled evilly: "It's really a short hand and a short mouth, just after a few sips of my wine, he began to praise me." ”
The head of the Zhao family didn't look back, he still looked at the council hall opposite, with a calm face, "What they did, maybe you can't do it now." But what you do, in their lives, they can't even think of it, and they don't even dare to think about it. ”
Liu He's expression was straight, and he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you seniors for your advice, Liu He remember." ”
The head of the Zhao family waved his hand, and finally showed a pleased smile, "Don't thank me, but I want to thank you for the world's readers." Don't be presumptuous, there will always be someone to do those trivial things, and you only need to have a heart for the world, it's enough. ”
After that, the old man, who was about to control both the appointment power and the financial power of the world's officials, got up and straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Liu Hebi.
Liu He hurriedly got up and replied with a sincere fear, and when he raised his head again, he saw that the old man with the fairy wind and bones had already brushed his sleeves away.
Walking to the staircase, the head of the Zhao family suddenly stopped, turned around and said seriously: "I took the errand you arranged for me, but I have one condition, if you don't agree, please ask Gao Ming." ”
Liu He chuckled in his heart, but saw a smile on the face of the head of the Zhao family.
"No matter where I am in the future, and no matter where you are in the future, you will send me two altars of three immortals every month!"
After that, the head of the Zhao family, dressed in white, floated away.
Liu He returned to the edge of the railing, looking at the back of the attic who was striding big but his steps were getting lighter, and his smile was bright.
After two months of heated debate, the three parties finally reached an agreement on all the details.
When the big seal, which represented the supreme power of the three parties, appeared on the dense agreement at the same time, Liu He's hanging heart finally let go.
After discussion, there was no change in the outline proposed by Liu He, but there were still great changes in many details.
The three parties still hold a battle once every three years to compete for the one hundred and eight jades that represent the geographical belonging.
However, after obtaining jade, that is, obtaining territorial ownership, the appointment of officials and taxation are different due to regional differences, and the policies implemented are also different.
Among the one hundred and eight regions, there are eight places on each of the three sides on the border, which are two or two adjacent to each other, making a total of 24 regions, which adopt the centralized appointment of officials and taxation proposed by Liu He at that time, while the rest of the places are still controlled by the forces of each party in charge of the appointment of officials and taxation.
The purpose of this is to ensure the smooth implementation of this agreement, and also to ensure that there will be no consequences due to excessive concentration of power, which will lead to the dominance of one power and the situation getting out of control.
And the most central city in these 24 regions is also named the 24 Ming City.
The so-called Ming City means that everything is transparent, whether it is the appointment of officials or taxes, and the three parties can access the files of any Ming City belonging to their own forces at any time, so as to grasp all the information.
With the end of the triennial battle, the territorial ownership will also change, and the border between the three parties will also move.
In this case, a new Ming City will be re-divided on the border line of the three parties, and the previous Ming City will be transferred to the control of the respective forces.
Such an approach, while eliminating the imbalance caused by excessive concentration of power, has also raised new problems.
There will be a round of adjustment every three years, and those areas located on the tripartite border are likely to change hands frequently, and the local construction and development will also be greatly hindered.
To make up for this, Soochow, represented by Lu Su, put forward a good proposal.
One hundred and eight jades, each of which means that one more general and one hundred soldiers can be invested in the battle.
Of the twenty-four Ming Cities, the three parties each have eight of them, and the jade that represents the eight Ming Cities must be used as bargaining chips and thrown into the battle.
In addition, the three parties can also use silver taels instead of jade to increase their troops, and this kind of silver taels is called Daiyu.
The twenty-four Ming Cities are all taken care of by the head of the Zhao family in person, and all the daiyu will also be handed over to the head of the Zhao family as the cost of developing the twenty-four Ming City.
Every additional 100,000 taels of jade paid to the head of the Zhao family is equivalent to putting in an extra piece of jade, and it can also increase the strength of a general and a hundred soldiers.
Since the tax revenue of most regions is still in the hands of the three parties, in order to avoid the situation of rushing to pay a high amount of jade and squeezing the people, the amount of jade is not set by the three parties themselves.
The standard of Daiyu is that all taxes in the territory controlled by the various forces are added together.
In other words, as long as the people are rich and pay enough taxes and silver, even if the territory is not as large as the other two sides, they can still close the gap in military strength.
This also means that, in addition to the battle every three years, the three parties will devote their main energy to local construction, which has invisibly improved the living standards of the people.
For this reason, all localities have also specially unified the tax rate, and the three forces can only lower it, not raise it.
The tax rate is fixed, and the more tax money received, the better the people's lives, which also coincides with Liu He's original intention.
In addition to these, any two of the three parties can buy and sell the jade in their hands at will during the month after the battle is over and before the redivision of the territory.
Half of the cost of buying and selling these jade stones can also be included in the substitute jade.
