Chapter 16 Trade with Neighboring Counties
"That's right, it's really rare to directly reduce taxes as soon as you ascend the throne."
"But why didn't Your Majesty grant amnesty to the world?"
"You stupid, most of those who are imprisoned are just idle, stealing chickens and dogs, and letting them out will definitely affect us."
"yes, that's what I thought too."
The small talk of the people, many times, is to talk about where to count, and soon they changed the topic again, talking about miscellaneous content, such as their own cow is about to give birth to calves, several countries next door have been invaded by rogues, and recently the price of cloth has risen again.
Most of them were market news, and the servant beside the middle-aged man shook his head: "This emperor has just ascended the throne, master." ”
The middle-aged man said: "This is the best, young emperor, with lofty ambitions and general determination to forge ahead, we will live here for a while first." ”
The servant had no choice but to answer, "Yes." ”
"Let's buy a farmhouse first, and then buy an acre of land."
……
Day 3.
After adapting to the first two game days, Ren Tian is now gradually on the right track, and he has more and more emperor mentality.
As soon as I opened my eyes, it was a few palace maids waiting as usual, and after putting on all the things in the dragon robe, I was ready to go to court.
Ren Tian is in high spirits, the government can be regarded as the top priority, and there are too many things in the early stage, and if a few holy decrees go down, the energy will be gone, so you must pick the important ones to do first.
When they came to the main hall, many courtiers were already waiting there, and when they saw Ren Tian sitting down, they all knelt down in unison.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
In fact, it was not easy at all in ancient times, and the last dynasty was on the fifth watch, and the modern time is from five to seven o'clock, which means that the ministers and the emperor will get up at four o'clock, wash and dress, and go to the main hall at five o'clock on time.
Waking up so early for many years still has a great impact on sleep.
Of course, this is a game after all, which is directly ignored.
Ren Tian sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers below, there are a lot more ministers today, and they no longer feel empty before, in addition to the previous Dazai Situ Sikong Sikou and a few people, there are also local officials who were personally transferred by themselves yesterday.
There are about a dozen people, who have filled some vacant positions in the imperial court, and they are basically cousins and ministers, all of whom are low-level officials responsible for carrying out specific affairs.
To put it simply, these officials are supplemented under Dazai Situ Sikong to help improve administrative efficiency.
Originally, Ren Tian also wanted to canonize specific official positions, but the problem is that the system of three princes and nine secretaries is not allowed at all now.
He checked it, and the requirement was that the country must first be promoted to the level of the principality before the system of three princes and nine kings could be opened, and Ren Tian's current national level is a small marquis, and it needs to go through medium-sized marquis, large marquis, and there is still a way to go.
took a look at those officials, and they were much younger than the old ministers of Dazai Yanyang before.
Looking at the ministers below, Ren Tian was quietly waiting for them to start playing.
It's just that after a while, no one seems to have spoken.
Ren Tianyi raised his eyebrows: "Ladies and gentlemen, this morning, there is nothing to play?" ”
Dazai Yanyang came out: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play, yesterday afternoon, our trade contract with the neighboring county expired, please ask Your Majesty, whether you want to continue to sign the trade agreement, if so, you need to send an envoy to the neighboring county to meet the county magistrate." ”
"Oh?"
Ren Tian was a little curious: "Trade with neighboring counties? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Soon, under Yan Yang's explanation, Ren Tian also figured it out, and while listening to Yan Yang's explanation, Ren Tian even opened the map.
To put it simply, there are a total of seven counties in Linchuan County, and Ren Tian's new country occupies the two counties on the far left of Linchuan County, and the neighboring county on the right, which is almost equivalent to a county that NPC is responsible for independently, and Xinguo has trade contacts with this county.
The new country exchanged grain for the other party's money.
The market price is 1 tael of silver and 1 stone, and the other party uses it at about this price.
Ren Tian asked with interest: "What is going on in this neighboring county?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, back then, Gaozu unified Linchuan County, but the strength behind him was insufficient, so he had to give up the rest of the county seats, and this Mi County was the only county seat to go out."
Ren Tian's eyes lit up: "Since Mi County belonged to the new country before, is there a way for me to take it back?" ”
Expanding the territory is a dream hidden in the heart of every player.
"Your Majesty, at this stage, it is difficult, not to mention that the new national army is backward, there are very few soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is weak, and the county towns of Mi County, Tuan County, and Ning County are not much different from us, and more importantly, these county towns, the people's hearts are not towards the new country."
Ren Tian frowned: "How can this be reasonable, after I strengthen the army, I must take back Mixian." ”
"Your Majesty, there is no conflict between Mi County and our new country, if you rashly use force, I am afraid it will be easy to give the world the truth."
"I'll talk about this later, what do you propose for this deal?"
"Back to Your Majesty, although Mi County has a rice character, but in fact it is quite short of grain, and has always relied on the grain of my new country, Your Majesty can choose not to sell it, or take the opportunity to sell grain at a high price, but in this way, I am afraid that the prestige of the country will be damaged."
Ren Tian raised his eyebrows: "How can there be damage, what is the problem with me safeguarding the interests of my country?" ”
Historically, those politicians in the West were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality behind closed doors, and they were all kinds of bad tricks for the rest of the country, but this is the standard politician, only the politician who seeks the interests of his own country and the people is a good politician, and the emperor who seeks happiness for the people is a good emperor.
He groaned for a moment, it just so happened that he was short of money now, and in a short period of time, the monthly expenses of the new country were already very exaggerated, and the need for money was still very great.
"Whoever wants to go to Mi County, regarding the trade between their country and Mi County, can be carried out as usual, but in terms of price, I need to go up a little, but it can't go beyond the tolerance of Mi County."
Ren Tian looked at the entire court.
The people around him didn't speak, and at this moment, a courtier came out.
"Your Majesty, I would like to be the messenger."
Ren Tian took a look at the courtier's information.

Combined Internal Affairs Capacity: 66
Government Affairs: 70
Nongsang: 60

This Yuan Lang is the official who was promoted from the magistrate before, he was the county magistrate before, and now his position is not low, and the left and right divisions are almost behind Situ Sikong Sima and others.
Ren Tian took a look at the rest of the courtiers again, basically their commercial attributes and diplomatic attributes are almost the same, looking at it, only this Yuan Lang is the highest, with 72 points in business and 67 points in diplomacy.
"Quasi-play."
