Chapter 578: The Little Pilgrimage
The next day, the gates of each square were posted with notices from King Ji's Mansion, and Li Shen dared to do this kind of thing.
If someone else else had arrested you,
The contents of the notice are:
King Ji held a fundraising event at the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang.
Under the leadership of President Ji Wang, the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang abides by the laws of the imperial court and supports the imperial decrees.
has always adhered to the central idea of repaying the court and the people,
Prepare to build two cement roads for the imperial court to raise donations for the people.
Ordinary people on foot do not charge any fees and can pass as they please.
In the past, merchants, horses, carriages, etc. needed to pay road maintenance fees, and the fees were different for different distances.
Money is used as the cost of road maintenance in the future.
Members of Datang First Chamber of Commerce can only pay half of the fee with their membership certificates.
Recipients will be granted a waiver based on the specific amount of donations.
Anyone who evades payment or refuses to pay shall be fined three times the whole process.
King Ji's Mansion will also punish such merchants. ’
The notice written by Ji Wangfu is already very clear, if you don't want to pay the money, you can go around,
Otherwise, if you are caught, you will not only be fined, but you will also have to be cleaned up.
And the newspaper of the day also wrote the above thing on the front page.
And also published an important speech by King Ji Li Shen,
"Datang First Chamber of Commerce has always been people-oriented, improving the trading environment and maintaining the trading order.
Strengthen the sense of creditworthiness, strengthen the concept of being proud of honesty and trustworthiness, and being ashamed of forgetting righteousness for profit,
Focus on cracking down on swindlers, market bullsmen, and fraudsters.
Adhere to the principles of voluntariness, equality, fairness, honesty and trustworthiness,
Strictly abide by the laws of Datang, operate in accordance with the law, and strive to create a safe, reliable and comfortable trading environment.
Lead the merchants to return to the court, return to the people, abide by the law, be honest and trustworthy.
I hope that all the people of Datang will supervise. ”
Li Shimin put the newspaper in his hand on the bookcase, today is the first day of Li Shen's fundraising, Li Shimin is very concerned about this,
So I sent someone to investigate the situation early, and bought the notice and newspaper.
This first time is important, and if it is not done well, there is no second time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've read the newspapers." Li Shimin looked at the important ministers below and asked.
Today is a small court meeting, and only the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries have arrived.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have already seen it." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
They're actually paying attention to it.
"Your Majesty, if it is really as King Ji said, then the role of the Datang Chamber of Commerce is still very great." Fang Xuanling continued.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he can really do what the newspaper says, then it is not necessarily a good thing for such a large organization to stay in the people."
Gao Shilian stepped forward.
"Why did Gao Aiqing say this?" Li Shimin asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, if it is as the newspaper says today, the wealth and materials in the hands of such a large organization are very huge.
If such an organization is exploited, the consequences are unimaginable. "Coats is honest and colorful.
"Then what should be done in Gao Aiqing's opinion?"
Gao Shilian thought for a while and said:
"According to the views of the ministers, either the imperial court will be taken back and controlled by the imperial court, or it will be dissolved."
"Shen Guogong, I think it's a bit alarmist, even if the imperial court wants to replace it, then what excuse do you think the imperial court should use.
If this matter is not handled well, then how will the outside world talk about the imperial court, and then everyone outside will be in danger.
I don't think that's a good thing. Fang Xuanling stood up and said.
Fang Xuanling knows very well that if this matter is done well, it is easy to say, and if it is not done well, the whole Tang Dynasty will say that the court has destroyed the law.
Blatantly oppress merchants, and then the people of Datang will think that whoever does a good job will collect your money in the future.
Everyone will hide it, and if they have money, they will not dare to spend it, and even ordinary people will be affected.
At that time, it will be very troublesome for the people to buy anything, and the price will be very high.
"We can ask King Ji to cooperate with the stable merchants, King Ji is a prince should understand this truth,
He also has the ability to cooperate with the imperial court to pacify the people.
This is good for him and the court. Gao Shilian retorted.
Gao Shilian's words made everyone stunned, including Li Shimin,
They didn't think of why Gao Shilian, who had always been wise, would say such stupid things.
Everyone felt a little unusual about it.
Even his son Gao Cheng was a little confused, and he didn't understand why his father would target King Ji.
Li Shimin sat on it and looked at Gao Shilian, the queen's uncle, who was already in his prime, and proposed to Zhishi many times,
Li Shimin didn't agree, and he also made him the prince and the prince, the right servant shot, and granted the identity of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.
This can already be said to be the highest honor, and Kaifu Yitong Sanji can set up an office in his own home and work from home.
What an honor.
But today's appearance of Gao Shilian made Li Shimin a little puzzled.
"Shen Guogong's words are really interesting, you ask for things from others, and let people cooperate,
Could it be that Shen Guogong thought that everyone else was a fool. ”
At this moment, Wei Chi Jingde, who was among the generals, sneered.
"Hmph, you martial artist know what national affairs, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Gao Shilian shouted.
"You old horseman, who do you say martial arts, do you really think that everyone else is a fool?
Do you know that after this is done, it will make the world unstable, you know? ”
Where would Wei Chi Jingde tolerate it, and immediately fought back.
Gao Shilian was scolded by his old horseman, and he blew his beard and glared at him, and he had to reason with Wei Chi Jingde.
"Okay, Jingde don't say much, Gao Aiqing doesn't have to worry about him.
However, this matter is indeed as Fang Aiqing said, the court cannot do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.
Otherwise, the people are easily unstable. Li Shimin scolded Wei Chi Jingde, and then said to Gao Shilian.
Gao Shilian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
And the eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing on the side, didn't say a word, he just watched all this quietly.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom have been in Chang'an for many days, and they have always wanted to ask to see Your Majesty." At this time, Wang Jue stood up and said.
He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and supervises the Honglu Temple.
"Let's wait a few days, I haven't had time lately." Li Shimin replied.
The small court meeting soon ended, and the courtiers walked out of the main hall to return to their offices.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw Gao Shilian in front, and walked a few steps quickly to follow.
"Uncle, I wonder why my uncle made this proposal today?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked in a low voice.
"Auxiliary, don't you think that the current King Ji is getting more and more powerful? I'm also thinking about the prince.
With a chamber of commerce, King Ji can raise millions of dollars in a short period of time.
What kind of appeal is this? "Coats is honest and colorful.
