Section 36 Valuing business and rejuvenating the city

"The Great Qin Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, the law was as strict as torture, and at every turn, they were reduced to slavery or killed, and some slaves were openly sold to the world, like the revival of the old slave system, and the cruel rule left the common people! Later, the Xiongnu army went south, destroying the Qin and plundering the land and dominating the Central Plains, burning, killing, looting, and captizing everything! The Huns were nomadic herders, taking one place after another, destroying books, destroying literati, and destroying the Sheng clan, returning farmland to pasture, suppressing agriculture and suppressing business, and reversing the old practice of governing the people on the grassland. Looking at the Central Plains of the Xiongnu, although they followed the rule of the old Qin counties, they did not think about the counties and counties and abandoned the law, so that all parts of the country were reduced to clan autonomy, and there was a great tendency to return to the tribal division and rule, which was against the sky!

Since the death of Qin, our Great Qin remnants have entered Yongzhou to the side of the country, and they have rebuilt the country of Dayong in this border place! The Xiongnu have repeatedly attacked our Dayong, and my sons and daughters of Dayong have fought on the battlefield one after another, and have never stopped for more than 60 years, so as to ensure the safety of my Dayong now! However, there are few poor people in the land of Dayong, and there are frequent wars, so that the poor people of the country are sick and want the country to die! Now the queen of the Mengshi clan assists the crown prince Yingyu to lead the national government, intending to prosper the country and rebuild the prosperity of China! It is that my Dayong was able to fight with the Xiongnu into a jade silk, raise the virtuous and virtuous to collect the general Chu Rui, Nanping razed Yunnan to take Yelang, and then increased the Rongde Hexi, for my Dayong to open up the territory and expand the land to build the foundation of the world! After three years of governance, it has begun to show results, and this is the beginning of the prosperity of Dayong!

However, our great yong has been weak for a long time, and the wish of rejuvenating the state has not yet been achieved, so we must break the old and establish the new, eliminate evils, and strive to be strong! The law is the foundation of the country, and if we want to reorganize the state and govern the country, we have now sent 260 new laws and regulations to all counties and counties in batches! From now on, the officials of all counties and counties should strictly implement the new laws of Dayong and must not engage in favoritism and irregularities! In order to show the strictness and fairness of the new laws, we hereby quote the words of the pre-Qin merchants, and the princes who violate the law are also guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Then he ordered Uncle Shi Baili to supervise the expansion of the markets in various counties and counties, set the price of 10,000 goods according to the actual situation of the markets in various places, sell official grain in the market as appropriate, stabilize the market and ensure circulation, strictly investigate the hoarding of grain and hoarding to disrupt the price of goods, and bully the people to dominate the market and force the sale of goods!

In order to ensure the interests of merchants and the people, the counties and counties are specially ordered to arrange manpower to maintain the order of the market, handle the disputes of the market according to the law, regularly inspect the roads in various places, and eliminate the bandits in various places, so as to ensure the smooth flow of trade roads in various places!

The above is the newly promulgated national policy, and all counties and counties of Dayong shall strictly implement it, and there shall be no mistakes! If the ministers have any doubts, please ask Lord Fengchang for explanation!

Chincis!!"

At the beginning of the new day, Lang Zhendong, the chief eunuch, read out the new regulations aloud, which is the national policy that I reformulated with Xiao Qing and Uncle Baili after returning to Yongzhou from Fangling!

The new national policy first let Empress Meng look at it privately, but my beautiful and lovely mother couldn't understand it, hahaha! But it's okay, as long as she completely agrees with my approach, it is really difficult to understand the mystery with Empress Meng's talent! Empress Meng agreed to me without thinking about it, and she has only one reason, that is, through this matter, Wang Zhe can be suppressed, so that I can show my skills in national politics! Because she thinks, since you have not had a good plan for many years, then be polite to Xinxian and let me try my best!

After the promulgation of the new state policy, the ministers were in an uproar, and everyone talked about it and did not understand the truth at all! They did not say much about the new law, but they were very puzzled about the market, and they did not understand why I valued the small market so much!

Naturally, they won't understand, in such an era of reverse current, they will come to the ghost if they can understand!

I am ready and waiting for Wang Zhe's questioning and condemnation!

Sure enough, after Wang Zhe chatted privately with several ministers, he immediately said: "Your Majesty the Empress, the old ministers also agree with the implementation of the new law, and also agree with the reorganization of the rule of officials in various places, and severely punish all the vices of favoritism and irregularities! However, the market is a place for merchants and hawkers, why is it that His Royal Highness the Prince has to go against the current and impose a large tax to change it? If this is the case, the old man will never approve of it!"

I sneered: "Prime Minister, this king did not say that tax reform should be carried out in various places immediately, although it is only a matter of time, but the time has not yet come to implement it!"

Prime Minister Wang also sneered: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, when is the so-called time for His Royal Highness the Prince?"

I said casually: "Cheng quite knows what I want, when will the tax reform of Fangling Changwei be successful, when will it be issued to all localities, and if the tax reform of Fangling Changwei is not successful, then all localities will never carry out tax reform! In this case, can the prime minister be satisfied?"

Prime Minister Wang hesitated for a moment, nodded silently and said: "I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will do what he says, and it is not impossible to try the two counties of Fangling, Chang and Wei! Although the old minister does not dare to agree with this, the old man does not object to it! It's just that this tax reform has not been completed, but the Xianxing Market, such an arrangement is very inappropriate, and the old man does not approve of it!"

I got up and walked down the steps and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why this king wants to conquer Hexi in person? Why does this king continue to the west in Hexi, all the way to Guazhou and Dunhuang, do you know why?"

Among the ministers, a minister came out and asked: "This is a great move by me to expand the territory, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince has another intention?"

I looked at the minister, and then at the old prime minister Wang Zhe, and I could tell from his expression that he had the same question!

It is certainly useless to explain to them the benefits of the Silk Road, how can they understand this! I had no choice but to say what I had said earlier: "I have no horses in all parts of the country, and without horses, there will be no cavalry, and without the cavalry, I will only be able to submit to the Huns forever! Therefore, if my army is in dire need, so will the horses come from? Do you have to sit and wait for the sky to fall?"

Wang Zhe nodded and said: "This old man understands, His Royal Highness the Prince once said that after taking Hexi, I Dayong will have my own horse farm, and I can also produce my own horses!

I sneered and said: "The prime minister is wrong! The land west of the river is also mountainous, and there is a lot of sand and little desert! There are only small grasslands between the mountains and the mountains, and there are not many horses! Now that my Dayong has taken Hexi, and has made the best use of the trade route between the Western Regions and the Xiongnu steppe in the north, we should drive the merchants to sell horses for our Dayong along the trade road to fund the army! The merchants will come and go endlessly, and the horses will also be inexhaustible, and this is the way to build cavalry with horses! If not, will my Dayong have to sit back and wait for the Huns to give me 10,000 good horses? Sit back and wait for my Dayong army to be strong and strong? The Huns are not stupid, they have never relaxed their self-defense, and there is no such good thing!"

Wang Zhe looked at me stunned after hearing this, and after staring for a while, he nodded and said: "Well, therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince has built markets in various parts of my Dayong, attracting many merchants to sell them back and forth, just for the sake of horses!"

I immediately smiled and nodded and said, "What the prime minister said is also what this king thinks, and this is the right way!"

Wang Zhe smiled, nodded slightly, and said: "That is the case, the old man also agrees, this move is also a great plan to prosper the country, it is feasible!"

After hearing this, the ministers suddenly laughed, and they all lowered their heads and discussed, and from time to time they made a sound of praise!

I turned my head to look at Uncle Baili, Uncle Baili smiled and didn't say a word, I looked at Xiao Qing again, Xiao Qing looked at me with a smile, and kept nodding at me, expressing praise for what I said was good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xiao Qing is really like my eldest sister, she can understand my intentions very well in everything, and in this era, Xiao Qing can be said to be a progressive young man with a sense of advancement!

After listening to my new explanation, Empress Meng seemed to be quite able to understand this statement, and she immediately said with a smile: "If the ministers have no objections, they should immediately strictly enforce them, and there will be no mistakes! Those who violate the order will be severely punished according to law, and those who dare to openly oppose it will be killed!"

...... , or I, the queen mother, are more domineering, everyone knelt down as soon as this remark came out, and honestly obeyed the queen's instructions!

After the next dynasty, I began to continue to be busy with tax reform!

After coming out of the court, Xiao Qing kept smiling beside me, which can be described as never leaving!

I came to the camp and summoned Zhao Tiande, assigned him a task, and said: "General Zhao, this king has an important task to be handed over to you, and this matter is not to lead the troops to the expedition or to defend the party, are you willing?"

Zhao Tiande arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the prince has an order, the last general will swear allegiance to the death, and never say a word!"

...... I smiled and said, "Very good! This king ordered you to take 2,000 soldiers and armor with this king to Fangling Changwei to buy grain! The general immediately selected men, and we will set off immediately!"

Zhao Tiande replied, "The last general obeys the order!" After speaking, Zhao Tiande turned around and went to gather the soldiers.

Xiao Qing sighed after hearing this and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is going to Fangling again?" Hey, it seems that the lower officials can't follow His Highness to increase their knowledge!"

...... , Xiao Qing is now a regular person, and the new law has just been implemented, many questions about the new law will be raised in the court, she has to stay in the court to answer them one by one, naturally she can't leave Yongzhou!

I smiled and looked at her and said, "Lord Fengchang is too modest, this king goes to Fangling to walk around, there is no big thing, and there is no knowledge to learn!"

Xiao Qing twisted her pretty little mouth at me, and then muttered in a low voice: "Your Highness always says this, which time is not to go out to do big things, it seems that Xiao Qing is not a person trusted by His Highness, and he has reservations about his subordinates in everything!"

...... ,A little girl is a little girl after all.,Even if I'm the lord and she's a minister.,I'll complain when I have a little temper with you!But it's really cute.,I laughed out loud after listening to it.,My tears are about to fall out!

Once upon a time, who would have thought that a well-behaved and trembling Xiao Qing, a serious Xiao Qing, would have such a little girl's performance!

In the entire Dayong Kingdom, who dares to complain to me like this? Even the prime minister Wang Zhe has to think twice about every word he says, and he will never dare to talk nonsense. Only this Xiao Qing in front of me dared to say this to me, because she knew that I wouldn't mind, because she knew that there were not so many restraints between me and her!

I know that when I chose Xiao Qing to rely on, it was my helpless choice to try to take power! Today, it seems that my choice is not wrong, she is very good, and it is very surprising to me! She is very trustworthy, she is like the warmth of family! She has never made mistakes, because she knows what to do and what not to do, what is right, is what I want most!

In my heart, I have slowly made a decision about Xiao Qing's arrangements for the future, although I can't get my wish for the time being, but I believe that I can achieve it in the near future!

Seeing that I had been looking at her in a daze, Xiao Qing's face was flushed, and she bowed her head very shyly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, are you thinking about important state affairs again?" Can you let Xiao Qing share your worries for Your Highness?"

I smiled and said, "Lord Fengchang guessed right, this king is indeed thinking about state affairs, but I can't talk to you for the time being!"

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and arched her hand and said, "Xiaguan understands! Then let's talk about it later!"

Sometime...... , Everyone likes to say these two words, and you Xiao Qing often say this to me, and now there is one to talk about ...... later.

Nima, it's really obscene!

I looked up at the sky, thought about it and said slowly: "The people sent to Hanzhong County by this king should be about to arrive, after the merchants of the Western Regions arrive in Hanzhong, this king wants to bring some good clothes back to Yongzhou for Xiao Qing's eldest sister, and he will be satisfied with Lord Fengchang!"

It's a woman who loves beauty, and so did the ancients, Xiao Qing smiled very sweetly after hearing it, and then said to me gently: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has thanked Your Highness, Your Highness is really good to Your Highness, hehe!"

...... It's a pity that Nima and I'm only thirteen years old, but you're twenty-five, hey!

Thinking of this, I felt a little sad, and then turned my head to look at her! Xiao Qing stood there respectfully, looking at me silently with both eyes, and didn't say a word!

I immediately changed the subject and asked her: "By the way, Lord Fengchang, you can help me think of a few sentences! This king wants to go to Fangling to find the people to buy grain, but the people are not willing to sell the surplus grain! So this king has to pretend that the soldiers of the army are hungry and thin, and now the court is short of food, and the soldiers have nothing to eat, so I hope that the people will give this king Xiantong face and sell some food with me!"

After hearing this, Xiao Qing immediately blurted out: "Then let the soldiers shout some slogans on the way to buy grain! Well, just shout: The king of Hanzhong has been marching west for more than a year, collecting all the land in Hexi, and now he is returning to Yongzhou to garrison soldiers, and the soldiers in the army are short of food and how thin the soldiers are, so I am specially ordered to come here to buy military food, and hope that all the people will help my fairy child to relieve the hunger of the army!"

Xiao Qing is really a beautiful and smart girl, such a large paragraph of words came at hand, I praised her again and again: "Wonderful, wonderful! Let the soldiers shout like this, shouting as they walk, so that the people of Fang Lingchang and Wei will know!"

Xiao Qing showed a pleasant smile on her face after hearing this, a sunny beauty, long hair in black clothes, how could such a beautiful scenery make me unmoved!

After a while, Zhao Tiande assembled the soldiers, and then Fan Yong also rushed to the assembly from the palace with his entourage and money!

After saying goodbye to Xiao Qing and Mengjia at the gate of the city, I led a group of people to Fangling again!

Xiao Qing's sentence was indeed wonderful, and the simple few words made the people tear up and ripple when they heard it, and they were all moved by the hard work of the soldiers! Coupled with the face of my fairy, the people actually did everything they could to sell all the surplus grain at home to me! In just a few days, the purchased grain was piled up, and all of it was taken to the market by me to sell! Of course, I can't sell it in the name of the king of Hanzhong, otherwise I will slap myself in the face and make it clear that I am going to deceive the common people! So I entrusted the grain to Han Cheng and asked him to sell it in the market at a fixed point in the name of official grain!

In this world of grain shortage, it is a great joy to have grain for sale, and businessmen are rushing from all over the country to purchase grain, and this official price is naturally higher than the collection price, and the profit is just like this! I have come up with a good method for myself, trying to guide the people to actively buy and sell people's grain, and to promote the vitality of the county and city markets!

After taking Zhao Tiande to demonstrate for a few days, I left him to continue to squat in Fangling and Changwei, and continued to help me handle this matter! Later, the chariots and horses in the Hanzhong fiefdom also returned to Yongzhou one after another, bringing me countless goods from the Western Regions! I will sell precious things at a fixed point in the Yongzhou City Store, and I will place the things used by the common people in Fangling and Changwei Market to sell, and the people will definitely spend the money immediately when they have it, because the people do not trust the money in the first place, and it may depreciate at any time if it is put in their hands!

This trick really worked, the merchants and the people began to shuttle through the markets of the two counties one after another, and the markets became lively day by day, and the taxes of Fangling and Changwei finally began to pick up, and my tax reform plan finally saw a ray of light!
