On the first day of the fifth month, the inauguration ceremony of Jinan City was very grand, and the princes of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Cao Cao, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Fenwei General Gongsun Zhan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie and other princes all sent envoys to congratulate them.

In the early morning, when the morning sun was rising, Liu Cun and hundreds of civil and military officials under his command changed into the official uniforms of the Han Dynasty and gathered on the high platform directly north of the central square, and together with nearly 100,000 people in the square, watched the flag-raising ceremony held by 360 soldiers of the pro-guard team.

The 360 soldiers of the personal guard battalion appeared in a uniform formation with swords and guns, and the soldiers and civilians of the audience rejoiced.

When the fiery red battle flag rose in the majestic drum and trumpet, the cheers were earth-shattering, soaring into the sky, countless people looked up at the familiar golden pattern in the center of the battle flag fluttering high, and cheered to their heart's content - the five-star shield surrounded by most of the wheat ears and the two crossed swords are Liu Cun's unique general flag pattern, which is not only the main battle flag of the Qingzhou Army and the Langya Army, but also the most majestic and sacred spiritual symbol in the minds of the Qingzhou military and civilians!

To the great surprise of the envoys from all walks of life, after the flag-raising ceremony, the official celebration was over, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians gathered in the wide square began their own celebrations.

As the news spread rapidly, the envoys quickly understood that the happiest people in the entire celebration were not the military officials and military officers under Liu Cun's command, but the more than 700,000 people living inside and outside the Jinan New Town and the Old City.

As long as the 700,000 people in the old and new cities of Jinan are willing, they can enjoy the low-interest residential loans of the Qingzhou Prefecture Finance Yamen for eight years, and their families can live in the 12 neat and spacious districts built by the government. Each district has a school that can accommodate 2,000 children. Free access to five years of initiation; Go to 16 government-run hospitals inside and outside the city to see a doctor. You only need to pay two five-baht consultation fees, and if you catch medicine, you can enjoy the lowest price set by the government, and the price is clearly marked.

Wu Pu, the proud disciple of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, officially assumed the position of chief medical officer of the General's Mansion.

With Liu Cun's strong support, Wu Pu opened the first "Jinan Medical College" in Dahan that accepted disciples and studied medicine and medicine.

Once the medical school campus covering an area of more than 150 acres opposite the University of Jinan is completed, the first formal medical school in the history of the Han Dynasty will be officially opened. Recruit students from the entire Han Dynasty, and hire medical experts from all over the world with high salaries to come to exchange and serve as teachers.

In addition to the existing agricultural and industrial livelihoods, 80,000 of them have obtained employment contracts from governments at all levels, and have entered the government-run patrol police yamen, official road yamen, river yamen, vehicle and ship yamen, coal workshops and other departments, engaged in public security maintenance, city cleaning, road construction, river cleaning and river embankment, coal mining and processing, and water and land transportation, etc., each person can get a stable salary of a minimum of 500 yuan and a maximum of 3,000 yuan per month. With a monthly income of 500 yuan, it is enough to support a family of five.

With the gathering of more and more floating population in Jinan. Inns, wine shops, shops and workshops are also opening up, and business opportunities are everywhere. As long as the people of the two cities are diligent, they can have a life of food and clothing that is countless times better than before.

What the envoys and the vast majority of the local people did not know was that the biggest winner after the completion of Jinan New City was none other than Langya Money Bank, which opened a large number of money-bearing savings and loans in and out of the city.

The shogunate's financial yamen, led by Liu Cun's confidant Han Yang, only sold 5,000 acres of sub-block homesteads outside the west gate of Jinan New Town, as well as more than 3,000 shops and wharves outside the city, bringing a net profit of 20,000 yuan to the general's mansion, equivalent to one-tenth of the total investment in building the city.

This huge amount of money did not fall into Liu Cun's pocket, but was successively transferred to the Zhushan Weapons Workshop, Qingzhou Iron Workshop, Zhangqiu Iron Workshop, Langya Chamber of Commerce and folk workshops in Qingzhou directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, ordering weapons and equipment, military carriages, military uniforms and military shoes, leather belts and various accessories for the Qingzhou army, which further stimulated the development and prosperity of Qingzhou's industry and commerce.

During the celebration, Qingzhou Mu Liu Ye announced in a high-profile manner that since the beginning of June of the fourth year of the first peace, a number of new policies of the Qingzhou government will be promulgated and implemented in the form of laws:

1. The tax rates for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in Qingzhou will be uniformly adjusted to 10 percent, and the industrial and commercial tax rates will be reduced to 15 percent; The property transaction tax has been lowered to 5 per cent, while the land transaction tax has been raised sharply from 2 per cent to 10 per cent.

2. Abolish the poll tax, the levy tax, and the transit tax on goods, vehicles, and vessels, which have been in force for more than 300 years.

3. It is determined that the four denominations of gold and silver coupons printed and issued by the state government's financial yamen are the legal tender of Qingzhou, and the metal currency is standardized as 1,000 baht gold coins, 100 baht silver coins, 10 baht copper coins and 5 baht copper coins, and the gold and silver coupons of the four denominations are equal to the value of the corresponding metal currency and are jointly circulated.

4. The list of all kinds of conscription and taxes formulated and promulgated by the government offices at all levels shall be abolished, and all tax lists shall be formulated and promulgated by the financial yamen of the state government, and shall be collected by the financial yamen of the state government and the financial yamen at all levels directly under the state government in accordance with the law.

5. From 1 June, the government at all levels must obtain the approval of the state government for the levy and payment of the servicemen's salaries in strict accordance with the new law, and each of the servicemen shall not serve for more than 30 days per year, and the daily wages shall not be less than 20 yuan.

……

The announcement was announced, and the crowd cheered.

Envoys from all walks of life sensitively found that the Qingzhou government chose to promulgate and implement a series of new fiscal and taxation policies in the form of legislation at this time, which is undoubtedly announcing to the world:

The new Qingzhou policy, which has taken seven years of continuous trial and revision, has matured and has been implemented throughout Qingzhou since then!

Restricted by knowledge and experience, few envoys from all walks of life could realize that once the revised and perfected Qingzhou New Deal was made public, the wealth and population of all parts of the Han Dynasty would gradually flow into Qingzhou, which was lightly endowed and stable, as if no one could stop the circulation of Langya coins and gold and silver coupons in the world for two years.

More than half a year ago, the Langya gold and silver coupons, which were still rejected by wealthy businessmen and famous lords in various places, have gradually been accepted by wealthy businessmen and people everywhere for their strong strength, exquisite production, excellent performance and good portability of free exchange.

Even the imperial court and the emperor in Chang'an, and even the Xiliang army, which was regarded as a thief by the people of the world, were now using all kinds of Langya coins and gold and silver coupons with exquisite minting and high quality, and the princes of all walks of life, who were busy fighting and expanding their territory, were simply unable to refuse unless they were ordered to prohibit the circulation of Langya coins under their rule.

But in this way, it will not only mean a complete break with Qingzhou, but also attract strong opposition from the family of gate valves who have obtained benefits, and the industrial and commercial industries under its jurisdiction will shrink sharply. (To be continued......)
