On the third day after Zhu Jun became a vassal, he promulgated the decree of the Weihai Kingdom, and all the people under the rule of Weihaiwei were not taxed.

In feudal dynasties, taxation and conscription were the two pillars of the state!

Needless to say, it is the duty of every citizen.

And conscription, conscription is the supreme ruler of feudal autocracy, forcibly demanding unpaid labor from the common people.

Conscription is broadly divided into two parts, one is forced labor and the other is military service.

Forced labor requires ordinary people to work for the state without compensation within a specified time, and the time and direction of labor are completely determined by the local yamen.

What is wrong is that the court is not responsible for the birth, old age, sickness and death of civilians during their labor service.

The military service of the great cause is different, there are military households in the national household register, and the military households are mainly responsible for military service.

During their military service, civilians are mainly auxiliaries who transport food and grass.

The innocent people needed to work unconditionally, and the criminals of this era almost did not have life sentences, and basically served as free labor.

Either behead or work to death.

To a certain extent, the conscription of any dynasty is one of the factors that hastened the demise of the country.

After Lao Zhu built a great cause, he also specially subdivided the conscription and set up three forms of conscription.

They are: Lijia service, Junzhi, and miscellaneous.

The first is best, to assist the government in managing local affairs, and it can be regarded as a temporary worker in a unit without status.

The second is to do chores in the official office, such as feeding horses, guarding doors, and so on.

Needless to say, the third type is to build water canals, where large water conservancy is needed, and it is necessary to evacuate people from all over the country, bring dry food, and set off.

Life, old age, sickness and death are in charge of themselves.

Those magnificent city-states and imperial capitals were all the result of the hard work of thousands of people.

Zhu Jun sighed, he wanted to do it in one step, but the step was too big and it was easy to pull the egg.

The whole world is like this, it's okay if you are exempt from agricultural taxes, if you are even exempted from forced labor, then the people all over the world will not be crazy and pour into your fiefdom?

Do you want to rebel?

Don't accept the coolness, don't conscription, and spread to the capital, those officials still don't think they are rebelling?

Isn't it just adding to the trouble?

So, you have to eat it bite by bite.

Zhu Jun's request is that within one month, all the new regulations promulgated by the palace will be publicized in place.

What he had to do was to attract people to live in Weihaiwei as much as possible, and in a given time, when the time was ripe, he would be exempted from forced labor.

Just thinking about it, Xun Busan came over to report, "Your Highness, Bi Ying asks to see you!" ”

"Let him in!"

Soon, Bi Ying walked in and said respectfully: "Weichen see His Highness!" ”

After the vassal king became a vassal lord, his rights were not the same as in Japanese, and in the domain, even the prime minister of the imperial court had to bow down.

It can be seen that the power of the king of the Great Cause is great.

is like Zhu Di, Lao Zhu even authorized him to control the horses along the border, which means that all the court officials in the fiefdom of the Yan Domain must be under the jurisdiction of Zhu Di, a proper local warlord.

Zhu Jun was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't get any benefits.

But even so, Bi Ying did not dare to slack off.

"Something?" Zhu Jun asked.

"Your Highness, Weichen wants to ask His Highness to go to the city to build a mansion, this side is by the sea, and there are often thieves who offend ....."

"It doesn't matter, this king has more than 40,000 troops, don't say that it is a little thief, even if he destroys the island country, this king has confidence." Zhu Jun said: "You are stationed in the city, don't have a burden in your heart, if something happens, this king will bear it with all his might." ”

When Bi Ying heard this, he didn't say anything more, thinking about it, this lord dared to raid Ying Chang and broke Meng Yuan's existence, and his ability was nothing in the eyes of the other party.

After thinking about it, he took out an envelope from his arms and presented it respectfully, "Your Highness, this is a little filial piety for Weichen and his brothers, please accept it with a smile!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jun looked at the envelope sent by Bi Ying, the envelope was half a finger thick, "Bribe this king?" ”

"No, no, it's not a bribe, it's just a little bit of the brothers' heart......"

Zhu Jun looked at him with a smile, took the envelope in his hand, opened it and saw that there were neatly stacked papers inside, and when he took out one of them, it was actually money!

There are more than 100 taels of silver, and there are less than 1 or 2 taels of silver, and it seems that they really made it together.

"Daye has begun to issue money?" Zhu Jun frowned, "When did it happen?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this treasure banknote has actually been available for a long time, and it was called handover money at the earliest in the Mengyuan Dynasty, and the treasure banknote is easy to carry and has been circulating in the army." Bi Ying explained.

"How much is a tael worth of silver?" Zhu Jun asked.

Bi Ying suddenly became nervous, "Your Highness, half a year ago, it could only reach eighty percent, but now it can reach ninety percent, and it is still rising!" ”

"So much?" Zhu Jun was puzzled, this treasure banknote did not depreciate, it can actually be worth ninety percent of cash, "Why has it risen?" ”

"This is also thanks to His Royal Highness, since His Highness broke through Yingchang, the value of this outflanking is also rising, and the treasure banknotes circulating in the market are said to be rising, maybe in another two years, this treasure money will be worth ninety to five."

Generally speaking, the value of treasure banknotes is on the high side, but the purchasing power is very weak, that is, it does not retain value.

There is no complete financial system to issue such money, purely for the purpose of cutting leeks.

In the past, it could be worth seventy percent, or less, and this less was the profit of the imperial court.

And the treasure money is just paper, palm-sized paper, is there a lot of money?

Because the capital is worthless, the credibility of the state is not enough to endorse, and there is not enough gold and silver stored for the people to feel at ease.

Therefore, once this kind of treasure banknote is issued, it is bound to depreciate, and it will be greatly depreciated.

It's like a five-baht coin, if the condition is not good, then the natural depreciation is great, which is a huge harm to the people.

But there seems to be something wrong here.

This treasure banknote is actually worth ninety percent of the cash, unexpectedly strong, this value preservation is very good!

"Civil recognition?" Zhu Jun asked again.

Bi Ying was suddenly embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Admit it, but it has always been a treasure banknote, and it can only be used as sixty percent of cash." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Zhu Jun was interested, it seems that there was a problem with the memory of the original body, or the original body didn't notice this treasure at all, so he didn't have this memory.

"Your Highness, Weichen will not hide it from you, the reason why this treasure money is worth ninety percent is because those merchants are operating behind the scenes.

But the common people did not approve, and they preferred heavy copper plates and silver to light and fluttering treasure money.

But this treasure money is convenient for us, but it is difficult to support the family at all.

I had to ask the businessman to operate behind the scenes. ”

Speaking of this, Bi Ying knelt on the ground, "Please forgive your highness!" ”

Zhu Jun hurriedly helped him up, and suddenly understood why Bi Ying came to see him, "How many years has this treasure note been issued, and how many years has it been in your hands?" ”
