Section 37: New Policies Implemented
In the Dongcheng District of Yongzhou City, I bought a shop in the name of the Han Wangfu!
Speaking of this shop, I have to mention that after the Qin people ruled for hundreds of years, I don't know how they got it, and the business they engaged in was completely crippled! There are not many decent shops in the streets of Nuoda, and the commercial Zhen Nima has been completely abolished, and this is the case in the so-called Jingshi Yongzhou, no wonder Dayong is so poor that it clangs!
In order to sell the treasures sold on the west side of Yongzhou and earn money from the rich mansion, I found a feng shui treasure in the east of the city, which is the traffic artery of Dongcheng District, and there happens to be a dilapidated house here, and there are several restaurants for eating, as well as restaurants and teahouses for drinking!
To open a shop, you naturally have to find the most prosperous commercial street, this is the commercial street in Yongzhou, there are less than eight in total, but it is really desolate!
I found someone to renovate the house, and also built two large gardens on both sides, and put all kinds of jewelry, glass, and all kinds of precious woolen fabrics from the West on the counter, so that a brand new Western Regions Department Store opened!
Business was bleak in the first few days, no one knew that there were so many good things for sale here, and I was not in a hurry to advertise! What is my identity Nima, how can I do such a thing!
With the patronage of the rich one after another, the store soon became the most eye-catching place in the entire Yongzhou City, everyone knows that there are very rare good treasures for sale here, and there is only one in the entire Dayong Kingdom!
The rich big bosses in the country are all in Yongzhou City, and this business is naturally booming rapidly, and the store is crowded with rich and noble families every day. www.biquge.info Later, with the arrival of horses from the Western Regions, I began to place horses in the courtyard on the side, and sold the good horses from Dawan at a high price!
This kind of money-making business is very cost-effective, the money comes simply too fast, and the income of this shop alone every day is incredible!
In order to enrich the variety of goods in the store, I arranged for people to sell the good goods from the southwest, and I want to make the signboard of my department store in the Han Wangfu sound all over the land of China!
Of course, after getting these goods from the Western Regions, I went to fulfill my promise as soon as possible, and picked out a few sets of beautiful clothes for Xiao Qing and sent them over!
Xiao Qing was very shy, she was used to wearing Da Qin's thick clothes, and she felt very awkward wearing these tight-fitting and colorful interracial clothes!
But I have to say that Xiao Qing's figure is so perfect that I was dumbfounded!
To tell the truth, women in ancient times were relatively poor at dressing up, and I have never seen many beautiful beauties in the entire Dayong Kingdom! The only ones who can only be praised by me are Xiao Qing and my Queen Mother! This Xiao Qing has such a good figure, and it is a pity that she is usually hidden in a wide official uniform!
Ancient beauties were shy, and when she saw the curves of her body at a glance, she was naturally very awkward!
Seeing that my eyes didn't blink, Xiao Qing finally couldn't help it, turned around and ran back to the room, and walked out in an official uniform after a while!
I looked at her in disappointment and asked, "How?
Xiao Qing said with a flushed face: "I always feel that it seems to be exposed, and it is unelegant, so I dare not wear it!"
I nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" Tell the king the truth, don't hide it!"
Xiao Qing's face became even redder, she lowered her head and nodded slightly, and then said implicitly: "The color is very good, Xiaguan, Xiaguan is very satisfied!"
I laughed out loud after listening to it, which made Xiao Qing very embarrassed!
In order not to embarrass her even more, I had to say goodbye and say: "If you don't want to wear it to outsiders, you can wear it at home and see it yourself! After saying that, I left Fengchang Mansion with a smile!
The next morning, Xiao Qing blushed when she saw me, and then lowered her head and laughed, probably still thinking about those weird costumes!
Wang Zhe looked very curious, so he couldn't help but ask: "Why is Lord Fengchang faintly laughing, could it be that what the old minister just said is inappropriate?"
Xiao Qing arched her hand and replied: "No, what the Prime Minister said is very good, very good!"
...... , I coughed and said, "What else does the prime minister have to play, let's talk about it together!"
Wang Zhe arched his hand and said: "The old man heard that the Fangling Changwei Market has suddenly flourished recently, and the daily flow of people is extremely bustling, and the roads on both sides of the Fangling are full of businessmen coming and going! The old man is a little puzzled, what is the trick of His Royal Highness the Prince, why is there such a sudden change?"
I smiled casually: "This market was originally a place for merchants and vendors, and it is normal for there to be a lot of people, so the prime minister doesn't have to care!"
Wang Zhe arched his hand again and said: "But the commercial taxes of the two counties of Fangling, Changwei and Wei are increasing day by day, and there is a great deal of doubt about this situation! The grain of Fanglingchangwei has flowed into the eastern border of the Xiongnu innumerable, could it be that the Huns deliberately want to make me have no grain to buy? His Royal Highness the prince must be on guard!"
I sneered and said, "Since it is a market, it is normal to come and go to buy and sell! The prime minister does not know that there are also horses sold from the east side, and it is also cost-effective to exchange grain for horses!"
Wang Zhe shook his head and said: "But I am short of food in various places for not a day or two, if there is food, save my people first, why sell it to the Huns?"
I was a little unhappy after listening to it, why does this Nima always like to go against me, and finally the tax reform has improved a little, and Nima is looking for an opportunity to squeeze me!
At this time, Xiao Qing came out and said: "The reason why my Dayong is short of grain is that not everyone in the people has land to cultivate, and second, the officials are full of private pockets! The new law of Dayong has new constraints, and the strict township tyrants bully the people, and the strict officials hide the people's grain and sell it privately! When my Dayong officials govern properly, the implementation of the new law has been slightly effective, and there will be surplus grain to sell in the markets in various places, and my Dayong treasury will also have official grain to stockpile!"
I also added: "Lord Fengchang is reasonable! Officials are not corrupt for a day or two, and they fill their pockets by privately stockpiling grain, and the official grain is also sold privately to merchants at a low price, so as to make a profit from it! The policy of the new market is to severely punish such favoritism and irregularities, and the official grain can only be sold openly in the market! In this way, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will not be able to get in the way, and the price of grain will be stable!"
Wang Zhe nodded, but he asked again: "But after all, my Dayong has limited grain production, and the countrymen are still not enough to eat, so why are the Huns cheap?"
After listening to this, I was stunned for a moment, and this is also what I said, and it is still because of the lack of output! The market can alleviate the temporary shortage of grain, but after all, it cannot eradicate the big problem of grain shortage, and it seems that we have to find the problem from the source in order to completely solve the problem of rations!
I thought about it for a moment, and then I proposed: "This king wants to move the displaced people to sparsely populated places, such as Baima, Shu County, Ba County, and all parts of the Southwest Yi! Especially the land of Southwest Yi, where there are many mountains and sparsely populated areas, we should relocate more displaced people to reclaim them, so as to solve the dilemma of my Dayong's lack of food!"
Wang Zhe frowned and asked: "But the southwest Yi is the land of the Yi people, and the land is cultivated for the Yi people to enrich the population, in case he turns against me and stands on his own, won't we work in vain?"
I sneered and said: "The prime minister is wrong, he immigrated to Yi, and he is called pioneering and cultivating grain, but he is actually assimilating the Yi people! He is the people of the Great Qin, even if the Yi people want to rebel, but how can the people of the Great Qin of the land be willing? This is the way to determine the Yi!"
Prime Minister Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the prince has a lot of ways, every time the old minister is speechless, the old man admires, admires!"
I smiled slightly and continued: "Cheng is quite from a distance, don't just look at the present! Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and if there are many advantages, follow it, and abandon it if there are many disadvantages, this is the way of government!"
After hearing this, the ministers laughed happily together. Because the prime minister just said that I have a lot of truths, and now he has a way to govern, so everyone laughed and agreed.
The prime minister looked back at everyone, and said to me with a smile: "His Royal Highness the prince Shengmingye, the old man is convinced!"
Then I turned back to Empress Meng and said, "Queen Mother, when the landless people are moved to the southwest and other sparsely populated counties, and then the displaced people come to the east, they will also be resettled!"
Empress Meng smiled and said, "My emperor is wise, quasi-play!"
Everyone worships, respect the emperor's order!
A few days later, Wang Zhe in the court announced: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister recently sent people to inspect the Fangling Market, and found that there are countless merchants who are privately buying and selling without going through the market, which is to evade the commercial tax of my great memorial! This kind of behavior is vile, and it is easy for others to imitate, so it should be punished! The old minister suggested that more people should be sent to patrol everywhere and severely punish such villains!"
I was very curious and asked, "Why did the prime minister send someone to visit the Fangling market privately? Could it be that the prime minister wants to find out what is wrong with it, so that he can laugh at the king in the court?"
Wang Zhe smiled slightly after hearing this, and said very embarrassedly: "The old minister doesn't dare! This house tax reform seems to have taken a turn for the better, and the old man doesn't know the reason, so he naturally understands more! If the prince's plan is right, the old man can also have a lot of knowledge! If the prince's plan has a loophole, the old man can also remind him of one or two! But it is by no means looking for an opportunity to mock the prince, how can the old minister be so mediocre!"
I nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Well, thank you Prime Minister for your attention to the tax reform! What the Prime Minister said is very true, this king has indeed omitted something on this matter! This businessman is mercenary, and there is no need for punishment! If you send people to patrol everywhere, it will be a waste of manpower, and it will be difficult to eradicate this kind of phenomenon! For the sake of today's law, the market should rectify the market, and the market will make a register and issue the merchant's pass order to record the goods they sell! Then set up checkpoints at the intersections of each county and county to check the pass order of the merchant! All goods that are not my great yong should be purchased from the market, and they can pass through the counties and counties! All goods that are not my great yong should be ordered to pass through the entrance of the trade route, and then they can go with the counties and counties! In this way, the merchants will not be able to buy and sell them privately, otherwise it will be difficult to pass through the counties and counties! The place where the pass is issued should be strict, and if they dare to engage in favoritism and irregularities, they will be severely punished!
After speaking, I said to Uncle Baili: "Lord Baili, have you ever remembered that this should be implemented immediately!"
Uncle Baili came out and said, "Obey the order!"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang frowned and thought about it, and then nodded slightly and said: "Well, this is a clever move! In this way, all transactions must enter the market, and when they enter the market, there will be commercial endowments, and the more frequent the buying and selling, the more commercial endowments will be! The old man finally understood, no wonder there were so many commercial endowments in Fangling Changwei! However, although this commercial endowment has increased, it is not enough to compare with the taxes paid by the counties, how should it be?"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry! The market policy has just been implemented, and it will take time for everyone to get used to it! When all the people get used to it, there will be another beautiful scenery!"
At this time, Xiao Qing came out and asked: "Your Royal Highness, the minister is confused! If the people enter the market alone and sell some green vegetables and radishes, how should they collect the merchants' endowments? If they send people to supervise them one by one, they are afraid that it will be difficult to allocate manpower! And when the merchants go out of the market, they will also have something to hide for profit! What should they do?"
After thinking about it, he said: "All the things that merchants sell and buy should be reported to the market at an official price, and when they leave the market, they will be charged according to the official price! If the people enter the market and sell themselves, it may be difficult to control it, and they can only hope that the people will be self-disciplined! They can post notices in the market, saying: Paying commercial taxes is also loyal and patriotic, and those who seek personal gain and avoid paying commercial taxes are villains! The so-called people are terrible, and all the people care about face and disdain to be villains, so they should be self-disciplined and pay taxes!"
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is very reasonable, Lord Baili should write down this matter!"
Uncle Baili arched his hand and said, "The lower official has written it down, thank you Lord Fengchang for reminding me!"
I continued: "There are many things in the market, and we must change them as we do them, and we must not collect more or less business fees, and we must ensure fairness and strictness!
Uncle Baili replied, "Yes, Your Royal Highness!"
I also said: "When the people have a surplus, they will become rich, and after the people are rich, they will be famous! We can set up donation offices in the county offices to collect the money donated by the people and directly receive and send them to the state treasury!
............
Subsequently, I promulgated a series of new measures, which are nothing more than beneficial to business, to ensure the smooth circulation of commerce, and to increase taxes and wealth for the national treasury!
In fact, no matter how good the policy is, you can't make money from a piece of land endlessly, tossing and turning, it's nothing more than these things! And the real benefit of the people after they become rich is that first, they can continue to attract more people from the east, and second, they can increase the growth of the local population, so that when the population base is large, the treasury revenue will naturally increase exponentially, and the national strength will become truly strong!
It is not a year or two for a country to be strong, maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, or more!
I did not expect to create a New York or SH in this mountain, but only to keep the people from starving and increase their trust in the imperial court! As long as the people felt that the imperial court was good and did not starve, then the people would have no reason to rebel. In this way, the areas captured in the war will also become stable, so that the attack of the war will be meaningful!
Once I have solved the problem of popular support and established a good prestige for the imperial court, then I can shift my focus to the construction of the army!
The next thing is to conquer the world by force and retake the Central Plains!
