Chapter 291 Various decrees issued
Lin Bei played his usual good temper this time.
For things that I don't understand, Lin Bei will definitely not interfere, first let An Zhongzhi write it down, and then post a list to inform the whole city, let the Wanghai people experience it themselves, if the Wanghai people feel that something is wrong, then they will study and revise it, if they are not opposed, then it will be decided first, of course, this is not to say that it will not be changed in the future, people will progress, and the terms will also improve.
The workload is cumbersome and very large, and the whole city has almost laid out several layers of the place where the notices are posted, and the notices posted at the front are not visible at all.
Lin Bei saw that this was not good, and the notice was posted below, and the common people forgot about it after reading it, so Lin Bei simply brought up the newspaper industry and distributed a newspaper in the city, called Wanghai Daily.
For the time being, the Wanghai Daily is only a report, that is to say, the decisions and policies set in the city lord's mansion are reported to the whole city, although it is called a daily newspaper, in fact, the time of issuance is not certain, if there are many things discussed the day before yesterday, then the Wanghai Daily will be issued the next day, if nothing happens for several days, then the Wanghai Daily can also not be issued.
This is the same as Zhang Bang telling the whole city, but it will be slightly later, so An Zhongzhi and they have no objection, that is, the workers of the paper mill are a little tired, but fortunately, many words have been carved now, and only the words needed on the daily newspaper need to be listed and printed, in addition, the speed is also faster, so the issue of the daily newspaper is actually indirectly promoting the papermaking and printing industry.
In addition, the publication of newspapers has brought a series of chain reactions, such as the addition of a new thing outside the homes of many ordinary people in Wanghai City, that is, newspaper boxes, made of wooden boxes and made by each family. In order for the sergeants to put the Wanghai Daily in the newspaper box, in addition to the newspaper box, Wanghai City took the lead in adding house numbers to each household, and the house numbers also began to be incorporated into the household registration of Wanghai City.
In the past, there was no such thing as a house number, and if you lived in a village, you would generally say what village and what surname. For example, the Wang family in Dashan Village will only say that, now that there is a house number, Wanghai people have to slowly get used to remembering the house number, so that it can be convenient to send letters and write letters in the future, in addition, because the house number and the road are connected together, it is easier to find strangers.
The house number quickly became popular, and after the house number was registered. The management of household registration is much easier, but unfortunately in this era, there is no ID card and no computer, otherwise it will be easier.
This is obviously a very cumbersome matter, Lin Bei is just moving his mouth and talking about his ideas, and An Zhongzhi They are tired and have a sore back every day, in view of their hard work. Lin Bei asked the staff to make food every day.
One by one, things are planned and then agreed. The Wanghai Daily passed on to the Wanghai people to know that every Wanghai person was equivalent to indirectly participating in the major events that could only be formulated by this kind of regime, and the originally ignorant Wanghai people gradually opened their wisdom and walked on the road, if they heard the Wanghai people talking about the monthly rules and the law. When it comes to taxation, don't be too surprised, because this time it is a national discussion, and every Wanghai person has been baptized and sublimated, and they are making rapid progress. The so-called foolish people are what the officials say, but the people of Wanghai are not, they will think and question.
Lin Bei is naturally happy to see this kind of thing, but An Zhongzhi's work is even more cumbersome, often on the way home, there are ordinary people blocking the road and talking about their ideas, so that the things that have been agreed upon are changed again and again.
In such an atmosphere, the price was the first to be introduced, called: Wanghai City Price Temporary Notice.
In the notice, the dragon god coin was set as the mainstream currency of Wanghai City, and the rest were silver and gold, while red gold was discarded, and the price of all things in Wanghai City was set, as small as a needle and a thread, and as large as a house and a house, unlike other regimes, Wanghai City relaxed the sale of salt and iron, but did not allow private salt and mining, which no one doubted.
The second is the steam engine and the things corresponding to the steam engine, which is also strictly forbidden to buy and sell, the people can make their own cars and boats, but it is strictly forbidden to install steam engines on the car and ship, because for the time being, Lin Bei will not spread the technology of the steam engine, in addition, if the Wanghai people go to other places to trade, then it is strictly forbidden to say about the steam engine, but this is not within the scope of prices, but the scope of the law to be introduced later.
In addition, the notice does not introduce the ratio between the dragon god coin and the five coins, only the ratio of silver and gold to the huàn, which means that Wanghai City does not recognize the currency of the five plants, and will launch a unique coin of Wanghai City in the future, which will probably be made of silver and steel, but this is in the later stage.
Immediately following the price notice, the trial method of monthly rewards and punishments for official positions in Wanghai City was introduced.
It is expected that the monthly money of all officials in Haicheng will be marked one by one, both internal affairs officials and military officials, and the incentive measures are that if the internal affairs officials do not make mistakes in one year, they will rise by ten percent in the next year, and if they make mistakes, depending on their size, they will be dismissed and dealt with by law, and if the officials make mistakes, the crime will be increased by one degree, and the rewards of military officials are related to the war, and they are probably similar, but the punishment of military officials will be more stringent, many of them are capital crimes, such as fleeing from war, For example, military discipline is unknown, and so on.
The law of Wanghai City was originally called the supreme law of the Great Wei Dragon King Sect, which is applicable to all the cities under the jurisdiction of the Great Wei Dragon King Sect, this is the supreme law, and the supreme law once again confirms the supremacy of Lin Bei, because only Lin Bei can be free from this supreme law, except for Lin Bei, the dragon god, everyone is under the rule of the highest law, for a simple example, if Lin Bei kills people on the street, then the person who was killed must be guilty, if Bian Ji kills someone, Then the supreme law must be used to determine whether Bian Ji is guilty or not, and even if the supreme law finds Bian Ji guilty, and Lin Bei says that he is not guilty, then Bian Ji will also be innocent.
There are many regulations under the Supreme Law, such as the Monetary Security Law, the method of collecting taxes, etc., which are all under the Supreme Law, and most of the other laws have been modified and increased or subtracted according to the Han Law and Lin Bei's own knowledge.
This series of policies has been introduced one after another, and the political system of Wanghai City has become more and more perfect, in addition, because the common people are also involved in the whole process, many ordinary people are more familiar with these policies than the officials, and it is impossible for the officials to fool the common people. What's more, because the common people can meet Lin Bei, the dragon god, many times, the officials of Wanghai City can be said to be the saddest officials of this era, if they make a mistake, they will be stabbed to Lin Bei by the common people if they are not careful.
The time entered the middle of February, and the second batch of dragon god coins was issued again, and this time the dragon god coins issued were issued according to the original distribution method. One thousand for adults, five hundred for minors or the elderly, and at the same time, Wanghai City is in full swing preparing for the division of production.
This is another kind of package production to the household, the division of the land, the common people will bear their own losses, if they feel difficult, they can apply for tax reduction or subsidy, in addition. Because the proportion of commercial tax is relatively low, so Wanghai people can also trade, but the problem is again, if you are a businessman, you need convenient transportation, the appearance of the steam car, so that the Wanghai people can no longer look down on the way of the carriage, so the Wanghai people are eager to open the purchase of a series of items for the steam engine. Even if it's a lease, because of this. Lin Bei summoned everyone again.
"Let's talk about it, now that the people want to open up the purchase and lease of steam cars and steam ships, the steam engine is an important part of Wanghai City, do you think it should be opened?"
"Adults, villains think it should be open."
The man who spoke was in his thirties and had a shrewd face. This person's name is Guo Da, and he is the person in charge of a newly established organization in Wanghai City: the head of the Wanghai Merchants Chamber of Commerce, which manages the affairs of the Wanghai Merchants Association, such as issuing business certificates, such as mediating various emergencies of merchants. In addition, the merchant chamber of commerce is relatively independent, and it is the mouthpiece between the major merchants and the officials of Wanghai City in the future, and has the right to question a series of policies on merchants that will be issued in the future, which is a position that will be done against the officials in the future.
"Tell me why?" Lin Bei asked.
"My lord, since the commercial tax has been set, it is to encourage me to look at the sea people to do business, in addition, the adult has also said, no business is not rich, the villain deeply believes that the steam car is convenient and fast, which can make the transportation of goods for our merchants more convenient, so the villain thinks that the steam engine should be opened."
"Although the adults encourage trade, but how important is the steam engine to my Wanghai City, Guo Da, you dare to guarantee that the steam engine will not be imitated by those people after it goes to a different place? When the time comes, I will have one less sharp weapon in Wanghai City, and the adults and villains think that the steam engine must not be open to the people, not even leased, and the carriage cannot be traded? If you don't want to use horse-drawn carts, there are ox carts, elephant carts, and you have to travel faster than merchants elsewhere on concrete roads, and this wind will not last long. "The person who said this is now a matter of unified taxation, his surname is very strange, the surname is Yan, called Yanyu, after contacting Guo Da a few times, the two will not deal with each other, and it is estimated that they will not deal with it even more in the future.
"If there is a steam engine, why use an ox cart and an elephant cart? Could an elephant car be faster than a steam car? I look at the surrounding areas of Haicheng City are indeed cement roads, but how can there be such roads? ”
"Ox carts and elephant carts can also deal with it, so why do you need steam cars, you also said, the cement road is only around my sea view, and the steam car is feasible and not a muddy road, do you still want to open up the tank and combat vehicle?"
The two quarreled endlessly, Lin Bei listened to it good-naturedly, and asked An Zhongzhi and Cui Lan again: "What do you think?" ”
An Zhongzhi thought it was feasible, but Cui Lan was against it, and then the two also quarreled, one said that he had to start from the interests of the country, and if he had money, he would be powerful, and the other said that he needed to be the weight of the country first, and the money could be earned slowly, but such heavy weapons must not be lost to the people.
Discussion came and went, no one on either side could convince anyone, Lin Bei's good temper was gradually worn out, so he shouted: "Okay, this kind of thing doesn't need to fight anymore, let's discuss it later." ”
Lin Bei went out angrily, and said in his heart that fortunately he is in good health now, if his health is almost, he will have to die early just because of these bad things all day long, no wonder there will be endless arguments in the court, Wanghai City is a little bigger, but now it is already divided.
But if you think about it carefully, it's really no wonder that they have to start from their own interests, and there are still contradictions between the two brothers, not to mention tens of thousands of people, if there are contradictions, they will be resolved, and then they will slowly progress.
Guo Da and what he said are reasonable, one says that there is no business and is not rich, and the other says that the steam engine is the important weapon of the country, and it cannot flow into the people, this is all from their position, and the same is true for An Zhongzhi and Cui Lan, An Zhongzhi is in charge of internal affairs, so he naturally wants the treasury to be full, Cui Lan is a general, he wants to fight, and he naturally does not want the steam engine to be known to others.
After Lin Bei pondered for a long time, he finally made up his mind and asked the sergeant to recall Huang Yueying back to Wanghai City.
The Yijiang Bridge has been built, and Huang Yueying is already preparing to build the dam, so Huang Yueying is still relatively idle during this time, and Lin Bei is ready to hand over an important matter to her to do.
"My lord, what's the matter with Xun Yueying?"
"Yueying, do you know what electricity is?"
"Electricity?" Huang Yueying shook her head, and suddenly said: "Is it lightning in the sky?" ”
"Yes, it's a type of lightning, and Lord Ben wants you to make it."
Huang Yueying blinked: "Your Excellency wants to use the lightning in the sky?" Yueying knows how to induce electricity, just stand on a high place on a rainy night, lightning comes from it, but my lord, lightning is incomparable, as long as people touch it, it will become coke, if adults want to do this, they need to be very careful. ”
Lin Beixin said that I was not crazy, I had nothing to do to be struck by the lightning, shook his head and said: "Yueying, I don't want to attract lightning in the sky, but I want you to make electricity." ”
"This? My lord, Yueying won't. Huang Yueying shook her head and said, although she knows astronomy and geography, she really doesn't know how to make electricity, let alone her, no one knows how to do it now.
"Yueying won't, but Lord Ben will." Lin Bei said with a smile.
"Do you really know how to do this?"
"I know a little bit about it, how to improve it, I still need Yueying's help."
Lin Bei wants to open the steam engine to the people, since the steam engine is to be opened, then you have to find a more powerful kinetic energy than the steam engine, and electricity is obviously stronger than the steam engine, as long as the electricity is made, even if the steam engine is learned by others, Wanghai City also has something at the bottom of the box.
