Chapter 596 Time flies

Busy days always pass quickly.

After meeting these two old antiques, Fo Luo and the Spirit of Heaven, Qin He roughly determined the direction.

There are a lot of things to keep busy with.

All the evil spirits in the seventeen levels of hell were saved with a big shovel.

Feeling that it was not enough, Qin He circled around Dongtu again and saved a large number of wild evil spirits, evil spirits, evil creatures and various zombies.

I almost never had a day off.

The poor calf was so thin that it lost weight.

There is no way, none of these things can be swallowed.

After completing the transfer to the Eastern Land, Qin He went to the Western Region again and saved a large number of people again. He also saved a group of werewolves, birds, and vampire zombies in the further west area of ​​the Western Region, basically clearing that area.

After walking around the Qin River, I discovered a characteristic of Mofa. The fragments that fell after the collapse of the ancient heaven were not evenly distributed. The approximate center point was in the "Ji" shaped area of ​​the Yellow River.

To be precise, it is where Guanzhong and the Yellow River Dragon Palace are located.

Guanzhong, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties and the cradle of the great dynasty, corresponds to the destiny of heaven and earth.

From this center, it spreads to the surrounding areas, and the degree of the end of the law has an obvious increasing trend.

To the west of the Western Region, to the east of the peninsula, to the south of Yue Di, and to the north of the Beihai, we have basically reached the watershed between the ending of the Dharma and the peaceful Dharma.

After discovering this, Qin He had no intention of expanding the scope.

It’s already October in the golden autumn when I return to the capital.

Dali is still the same Dali, everything seems to have changed, but the changes don't seem to be big.

The dignitaries in the capital became rich and poor, but the poor people remained poor.

The princes and princes who had survived many tribulations in various places saw that the great Li was getting angry, and thought that good times were coming again, and were about to show off their power and swallow up all the properties of the princes who had failed.

As a result, the new emperor issued an imperial edict to take over all the properties of the princes of the fallen vassal, and established the Imperial Industry Department to manage them.

This directly abolishes the ancestral motto of "not competing with the people for profit".

When the surviving princes and nobles saw it, they shouted that the new emperor violated the ancestral system and the national system, and demanded that the new emperor take back his orders.

What does it mean to compete with the people for profit?

Since ancient times, the imperial power has never fought for the interests of the people, but for the interests of the officials, gentry and powerful people.

If we don’t put the imperial power in a cage, how can we happily compete with the people for profit?

When the new emperor saw it, he thought, "Oh, no."

You still dare to jump, right?

This edict directly accused princes and nobles from all over the country of sitting back and watching the world's corruption and being rich and unkind.

Another imperial edict reduced the dozen or so kings who submitted the petition to the rank of marquis, and the marquis to the rank of uncle. The princes who jumped the highest and the officials from the capital who served as mouthpieces were thrown directly into Feiyuwei's prison.

After suppressing them, the new emperor issued a third decree, ordering the newly minted "Marquises" to provide relief to the people and tide them over during the difficult times. The cabinet also drafted very detailed relief content, and the implementation was supervised by Feiyuwei.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife!

Each item of the content is tailor-made for them. Anyway, if the above content is implemented, it will not be a problem, but at least 80% of the annual income must be handed over.

Another blast!

The princes and nobles who were hit by "two blasting hammers" were furious, they were scared and angry.

This little brat who is new to the stage doesn't regard these uncles as human beings at all.

This is like raising pigs, and they will be killed every year they are raised!

It is unbearable!

So he hurriedly contacted the Donglin Party in the south, trying to use force to force the palace, or at least make the emperor make concessions. This was too cruel.

It's a pity that at this time, the Donglin Party was being pinned down by Li Chuang and had only half a life left. The Ni Bodhisattva could not save himself when crossing the river. How could he dare to speak for these blind people?

Sweep the snow from your front door and seek blessings for yourself.

Therefore, the princes and nobles who were unable to support themselves could only grit their teeth and swallow it, and at the same time, they cursed Donglin for being a fool.

As a result, as soon as he finished cursing, another blaster came down, hitting Dong Lin, who had just prayed for a blessing.

In early August, it was drafted by the cabinet and approved by the emperor.

The Ministry of Household Affairs followed the example of the Song Dynasty and set up municipal shipping departments in thirteen coastal cities to collect customs profits and benefit the world.

This decree also publicly abolished Dali's "sea ban" policy that existed in name only.

This time it was Donglin's turn to jump.

The reason why Dali's sea ban exists in name only is that those who can go to sea to do business must be powerful officials and businessmen from all over the country. If those who have no power and power want to go to sea, they must either spend a lot of money to buy amulets or do it pettyly, otherwise they will do nothing.

If you pay attention, the officials and gentry from all over the country will swallow up all the goods and ships, and even the bones will be vomited.

The essence of its apparent existence is actually monopoly.

Monopolized by whom?

Naturally, it is the backstage of the Donglin Party. The porcelain, tea, and ironware from Dali are huge profits when shipped out, and the speed of wealth accumulation is extremely alarming.

With this decree, all people along the coast can do business, breaking the monopoly.

At the same time, customs taxes and fees will also be charged.

But the jumping leg was useless except for the sprained leg. The princes and nobles who used to be on the same side with them took a look.

Collect sea tax?

It's a good thing, the emperor got the money from you, so we can relax a little bit.

You used to sit back and watch, but this time it's our turn to watch the show.

Repaying kindness with kindness?

Do you think I look like a fool?

So, with one slap from the left, the prince was crippled, and with a slap from the right, Dong Lin's brains were knocked out.

These two decrees opened up the new emperor's ability to control the world's financial power.

One public and one private, walking on two legs.

What does it mean to turn your hands to become clouds and turn your hands to become rain?

This is it.

But all this has just begun, and the people have not felt much change.

All I know is that the water transportation at the capital's docks has become busier. There is an endless stream of cargo coming and going from north to south. Many docks are overwhelmed and have started to use new "pulley cranes".

In late autumn, the north wind howls, and the boat traveling from south to north is difficult to navigate. The speed is too slow and the boat is often blocked. There are not enough trackers on both sides of the strait, and the price is high.

A boat gang keenly focused on the machine in the blacksmith shop that burned firewood and could be rotated by "eating the warehouse and eating the warehouse" and stole it.

Not only was the machine stolen, but the blacksmith who built it, Tie Sanqi, was kidnapped and disappeared.

The only thing that the people in the capital can really feel is that the price of food in the capital has gone down a bit and the wages at the dock have gone up a bit.

This year, the northern country of Dali changed from the dry weather in previous years and became more prosperous. After the situation stabilized, the autumn grain harvest was good.

Coupled with the announcement of the tax exemption decree to the world, food prices finally dropped.

Secondly, the new Qingniu Immortal Temple was re-established, and several princes in the capital opened warehouses to provide porridge. Life was somewhat better than before.

Of course, some are happy and some are sad.

The number of wealthy people in the capital has been greatly reduced, and life is becoming more difficult for some places where people spend a lot of money.

Since the number of rich people is insufficient, we should cut prices and promote sales to attract more customers, and let the girls go out on the streets to solicit customers, so as to make a profit.

Pull who?

Naturally, whoever has the money will attract whom.

For example, some young men who ride bulls can ride bulls these days, and at least they are not poor.

As a result, Qin He, who had been ignored at the gate of Yihong Courtyard, was finally looked at seriously.
Chapter completed!
