Just when Zhu Xia was holding Xiao Hei and laughing, a person came outside the door, bent down to pick up the brush, walked into the imperial study, and looked at Xia Hua and Zhu Xia with an inquiring face. This person is Xiao Guizi www.biquge.info he put the brush back on the case, and said:
"Your Majesty, the two princesses of Wenguo have arrived, and Xiao Xiang wants to ask when the ceremony will be prepared, as well as the concubine system in the palace."
At this moment, Xiao Hei let out a "whoop", bit the brush and dragged it in front of Zhu Xia, shaking his little tail, and looking at Zhu Xia with big black eyes.
Zhu Xia smiled and rewarded another one, rubbed Xiao Hei's ears, and said, "It's set on January 1st!" In addition, he told Xiao He that in March next year, Gu was going to open a department to take a doctor, divided into administrative, military, comprehensive, and strategic theories.
As for the concubine system, according to the first queen, the third concubine, the nine concubines, the beauty, the talent, the royal maid, the two daughters of the Wen country, just give a beauty! Each beauty is served by a small yellow door and a good person, and the nine concubines are served by a middle door and a pleasant person. ”
"Your Majesty, ...... is it to open a branch and take a scholar?"
"It is to open the imperial examination, every year 369, the lone open the department to take the scholar, and those who are admitted become Han officials, and arrange them to enter various departments of the Han State according to their grades.
The imperial examination is divided into three steps: first, the preliminary examination, to eliminate those who are indiscriminate; The second is the main examination, the results are divided, the qualified ones enter, the third is the palace examination, the lower ones enter the various communities and villages, the middle ones enter the various departments to go to the counties as officials, and the upper ones enter the secretary's cabinet. ”
Zhu Xia touched Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei rubbed his palm, and from time to time he stuck out his tongue and licked it, while saying his thoughts.
"That'...... What is the Secretarial Pavilion? ”
Zhu Xia was not annoyed, and said patiently: "The Secretary Pavilion is a department of Gu Xinjian, assisting Gu in handling government affairs, led by Xiao He, and then those potential talents are placed here, sharpened for a period of time, brushed up experience, and held important positions in various places below."
Of course, if you want to enter the secretary's cabinet, you have to conform to his wishes, in other words, it is to be in the emperor's heart, and it is impossible for Zhuxia to put in those pedantic scholars who are full of suppressing merchants, revoking military merit fields, contributing fields, and even swallowing fields, and advocating that the land be used to buy scholars.
How can you tell the difference? The last strategy is to let the scholars express their opinions on the current situation of the Han State and the existing policies.
Of course, at present, there are more fields, and Zhuxia has begun to consider that according to the position of the officials, they will be given the following Wen Zhitian, so as to eliminate the complaints of the officials, and it can also make the officials more attentive to serve the Han State.
However, in this way, there are officials to govern the field, military merit field, Gewu field, Jishi field, and contribution field, five different attributes of the field acres, of which the military merit field and the contribution field are exempt from any taxes; Officials govern the field, Gewu field, two into the agricultural tax; Ji Shitian, three percent of the agricultural tax.
As for conscription?
Zhu Xia officially announced that from this day on, all forced labor will be abolished, but they still have the obligation to accept the employment of the Han State unconditionally!
As for Ji Shitian, it was originally forty percent of the agricultural tax, but Zhuxia exempted one percent, which once again reduced the pressure on the people.
Xiao Guizi suddenly realized, he changed his body, from a small yellow door, directly to the current position of the permanent servant, I am deeply glad that I did not choose to leave at the beginning, otherwise how can it be the same as now, in charge of the hundred people, the deacons of the twelve departments have to smile and salute, and say a few words of greeting.
Isn't this what a person dreams of?
When I became a neighbor, I had no desire, and all I pursued was power and money, and now that I got the right, there was still money left, but the scene of the last time was vivid, and Xiao Guizi didn't dare to pay attention to it, otherwise the money was in hand, but his life was gone.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the batch of 40,000 slaves transported back by General Gan Ning consumes a huge amount of money every day, what are your plans?"
"Plans? Well, I left 16,000, a total of 30,000 slaves, and I had enough, and the remaining 4,000 were given to the families of the fallen and those who had been on the battlefield as their welfare.
Of the remaining 20,000 people, 10,000 were sold and 10,000 were rented, and sixty percent of the money from the sale was divided into the state treasury and rewarded to the soldiers according to their military merits, and forty percent went to the treasury, and the other ten thousand, each slave, were to be charged daily according to the intensity of their work, and the rent was to be put into the inner treasury. ”
That's right, the treasury and the inner treasury will also be separated.
However, Zhu Xia had already prepared, the Xinghan Chamber of Commerce belonged to Zhu Xia's private property, Zhu Xia injected capital at one time, so that the capital reserve of the Xinghan Chamber of Commerce rose to two thousand gold, and at the same time, all the people, things, and places involved in secrets, or invented by him, belonged to him, and the main purpose was to be afraid of poverty and lack of money.
A monarch, or even an emperor, if he has no money, please refer to Chongzhen for the consequences.
Besides, these technologies were all taken out by him, and there was nothing wrong with the income going to the inner treasury, of course, the wages and their placement had to be arranged by Zhu Xia himself, so Zhu Xia wasted a lot of effort and rented the land for the price of a copper coin.
The ass decides the head, so for the sake of his own rights and interests, Zhu Xia issued the "Patent Law" and "Trademark Law", and let Chao Cuo and Xiao He be compiled into the Han Law, although Chao Cuo was like thunder, but he still had no way to take Zhu Xia, and finally chose to continue to ridicule Xiao He, and obediently did what Zhu Xia said.
Of course, these two laws have no effect on countries other than the Han Kingdom, so it is still necessary to do a good job of secrecy, and even more strictly than before, so Zhu Xia did not remove the fortress, but screened the identity of immigrants through the fortress.
And for the merchants, Zhuxia began to levy commercial taxes, according to the classification and value of goods, drawing commercial taxes ranging from one to three, of course, most of the goods are one percent, but this one percent is for the Han merchants. Foreign merchants came to the Han Kingdom to do business, and Zhuxia would take 20%-60% of the commercial tax.
The purpose of this was to protect local products, prevent enemy merchants from dumping large quantities of goods in the country, destroy the order of the local market, and bankrupt the merchants, thereby leading to large-scale unemployment of local workers and increasing the burden on the Han state.
In particular, luxury goods and other sharp tools for accumulating wealth, without heavy taxes, will soon grab a lot of wealth from the Han State.
Of course, even if the Han State draws heavy taxes, people can still raise the price, but this can give the Han Kingdom a higher competitiveness of similar luxury jewelry. And raise the purchase price, raise the threshold, and reduce the number of purchases.
If the products of both parties are as good, even if some people buy some for freshness, but find that the price of luxury goods produced in their own country is lower than his, but the quality is similar to his, or even much higher, and soon no one buys his goods.
Sooner or later, the Jangsan Islands will be opened, and such a large fishing ground, all of which will be closed will leave the people with one less source of food, so a new secret location must be implemented as soon as possible, well, to put it mildly, it is still Jeju Island.
So when this time is over, it's time to try to open a route to Cheongju and occupy Jeju Island to plunder the Japanese slaves!
