The scholars want to monopolize everything in their hands, monopolize the fields, monopolize the right to speak, and monopolize the officialdom, and it has been like this for so many years, but Chen Qi wants to completely overthrow this situation in which the scholars dominate everything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to stabilize the people's livelihood, Chen Qi set up academies and schools, built water conservancy, and opened various workshops, and there are too many places to spend money.

After discussing it with Cheng Yu, Xu Shu and others, they didn't have a clue, after all, they were all literati, and there were really limited ways they could think of how to make money and make a fortune.

On this day, nothing is wandering on the street, not impartial, just walked to the door of a gambling house, (the history of gambling money, in fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, but there were not many tricks at that time, and there were more entertainment programs, such as cockfighting, horse racing, lackeys (that is, dog racing), throwing pots, playing chess, Liubo (also known as Lu Bo, is a kind of ancient Chinese Han folk game of chess. However, these things, just like the smoking, alcohol, and drugs of later generations, are really played by a lot of people, and they are easily obsessed, and there are even many people who are addicted to gambling.

"It's a big deal, it's going to die, and I'm seeing blood..."

Suddenly, there was a big chaos in the gambling room, and after a while, the door was full of people, Chen Qi was looking curiously in front of the door, and hurriedly waved at the dog, the dogan understood, rushed in a few steps, and after a while, he brought out a big man from inside, the big man's legs were full of blood, he walked with a limp, his face was slightly pale, and his painful brows were tightly twisted into a ball, but he didn't say a word, very hard.

"What's going on?" Chen Qi asked curiously.

"This kid wanted to come here to win two dollars in order to get money for his sister's treatment, but unexpectedly, he lost all the money, he was not convinced, and he actually cut off a piece of meat from his leg to gamble with others, this kind of thing, I have seen it for the first time." As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up and nodded admiringly at the big man.

"It's just nonsense..."Chen Qi shouted angrily, and hurriedly bent down to check the big man's injury, as soon as his trouser leg was lifted, the surrounding crowd suddenly exclaimed.

The legs of this big man were cut off, not to mention four taels of meat (in ancient times, sixteen taels was a catty.) The blood was flowing everywhere, and it was shocking to see, and even Sensen's leg bones were exposed.

"Hurry up and bring it back to find someone to treat it."

It wasn't until the dog took someone to send the big man away that Chen Qi's nervous mood was a little better, he turned his head to look at the gambling house, waved his hand and said coldly, "Seal this gambling hall for me, I can't control the crowd gambling, I almost got killed, and I arrested the shopkeeper for me, and I was sentenced to fifty canes." ”

After speaking, Chen Qi left, but his mind lit up suddenly.

Frankly speaking, whether it is gambling money or Qinglou, Chen Qi does not approve of these things, but he is a small traverser, and he can't stop it at all, because the atmosphere in ancient times was like this.

After all, Chen Cut is from the later generations, go back to the craftsmen to make a little tinkering, and the pai gow, mahjong, and dice that only have in later generations will come out, so that people can find a few shopkeepers left in Youzhou by the Mi family and the Zhen family to open a few gambling halls in Youzhou to try it, not to mention, the scene is surprisingly hot.

Xu Shu also took people to take a look, and was very dissatisfied with Chen Qi's 'not doing his job', "Young marshal, don't you like others to gamble and play money?" Why did you take the initiative to do this thing yourself? ”

Cheng Yu and Fu Zhu also scoffed at this, but Chen Qi smiled, "Of course I don't advocate this thing, but right?" These are just trying to see if everyone agrees, since the effect is good, then let it help us earn more money from others Come back, such as Jizhou, Jiangdong, Xuzhou and other places, earn other people's money, we spend it ourselves, why not do it, just to build a school in Xianbei, the cost is an astronomical amount, fighting, in a word, fighting is money, whether it is weapons and armor, or war horses and grass, what you don't need money. ”

After listening to Chen Qi's idea, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile, "So that's the case, then I don't object, gambling halls, of course, the more the better, it's best to leave this matter to the Mi family and the Zhen family, they have a lot of shop guys in various places, and they are familiar with the place, and there is no shortage of manpower, and both families are loyal to the young marshal, and the business affairs are handed over to them, which is right for their appetite." ”

Chen Qi nodded, he knew his weight, this kind of thing, it was okay to have an idea by himself, how to operate, he was not good at it, and he was too lazy to meddle.

No matter what happens, Chen Cut rarely interferes, so as not to help him, this self-knowledge, Chen Cut still has it.

Unexpectedly, Pai Gow Dice came out, the popularity is simply jaw-dropping, Mijia and Zhen even joined forces with Qinglou around the country to promote, not long after, this new type of gambling hall has sprung up all over the country.

The gambling hall doesn't cost much money, just a façade, there are acquaintances in the local area to take care of it, and the people in it are three and nine streams, everyone has it, Xu Shu also sent a lot of his brocade guards, deliberately let these people wander in these places, so as to grasp the movements of some princes in various places.

Every day, a large amount of money is shipped to Youzhou, Chen Qi has no concept of money, and all of them are handed over to Zhang Ning to take care of. ）

Anyway, the fields were also distributed to the people, so Chen Jiao did it more and more thoroughly, and even popularized the 'contract system' that was quite in front of the time on a trial basis.

The ownership of the land belongs to Chen Jiao, and the people can voluntarily contract the rest in addition to the distribution of each household according to the population, and the old and the more can not greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, Chen Zhuo only symbolically collects a 10% tax.

Although the tax rate at the end of the Han Dynasty was 30 taxes and 1, if the harvest was 30 hundreds, one hundred yuan had to be paid, but in addition, all kinds of taxes could scare people to death, otherwise there would be no saying that the government could be harsh and fierce.

Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system, and those who had ploughing cattle and tenant farmers had to pay 50% of the land rent in addition to 1% tax, and those who did not plough cattle had to pay 10% more.

Chen Qi only collects a one-time land tax, which seems to be very high, but in addition, there is no exorbitant tax and miscellaneous taxes, and Chen Qi strictly ordered that no one in any county can pay taxes to the people again in any name.

Due to the continuous disasters in the north, drought and locust plagues, water diversion and irrigation are also a headache, these, the labor problem has already been solved, that is, from Xianbei Wuhuan forcibly requisitioned the people to build water conservancy and dig canals, as for the money spent, the Zhen family paid a lot in advance, plus the seizure of many families, barely able to socialize.
