A brand new notice was posted outside the gate of Dai Wang's Mansion.
Soon, people were crowded in front of the announcement.
"What's written on it? Is anyone literate?" A man wearing a tattered straw hat and holding a stick asked, pulling the person aside.
The man looked at this person with some surprise and asked: "You escaped from trouble, right?"
"How do you know?" The man in the straw hat looked at his clothes in surprise, and then at the other people around him, only to realize that his clothes were the tattered.
"It's not because of your clothes, but because there are not many illiterate people in Datong Mansion now, but you don't have to worry, our prince is very good to refugees, and many houses have been built specifically for refugees in the west of the city.
, there is also a place for giving out porridge, as long as you are not lazy, no one will starve to death here." The man explained eloquently.
The straw hat man nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Then what is written on this paper?"
The man then turned around, glanced at it and said: "This is a new measure to benefit the people promulgated by the king. All people in Yunzhou can be exempted from tax for three years, starting from tomorrow, while industrial and commercial businesses can
Enjoy 50% tax relief.”
"So good? Are there any more?" The straw hat man's eyes lit up and he continued.
"Moreover, all refugees who have fled to Yunzhou can be registered and obtain local household registration. Those with skills can report to the Datong Chamber of Commerce. Those without special abilities can also be allocated land. Those with special abilities can
Recommended by the Datong Chamber of Commerce to act as servant of the Prince's Palace."
…
Everyone around was talking about the new announcement from Prince Dai's Mansion, and it soon spread throughout Datong Mansion.
Not long after, even Commander Zhang couldn't sit still and hurried to Prince Dai's Mansion, asking to see Prince Dai.
At this time, Zhu Gui was asking someone to record what he said. At the same time, three people were busy writing.
Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Jixi were sitting on the side, listening quietly, and discussing in low voices from time to time. Both of them looked at Zhu Gui with eyes filled with admiration.
Soon a servant came in and reported that Governor Zhang had come to visit.
Zhu Gui frowned slightly, thought for a moment and waved his hand to the three of them to stop, and then he and his servants left the study together.
"How come Uncle Wang is so knowledgeable? I have never heard of the knowledge he talked about. What I have seen and heard around Uncle Wang these days is better than what I have studied hard at home for three years."
Zhu Jixi couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Miaoqing was very proud of this.
"The prince is not an ordinary person. He has been taught by an expert, so his knowledge and methods are far beyond ordinary people. But don't be discouraged. As a descendant of the royal family, you can do the same thing one day."
Xu Miaoqing did not forget to encourage Zhu Jixi.
Zhu Jixi nodded, but he had some doubts about this.
…
"Your Majesty, the announcement issued by the Prince's Palace has spread throughout Datong Palace, and now the streets and alleys are talking about it." Sheriff Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Isn't this a good thing? Why is the governor looking so sad?" Zhu Gui asked while drinking hot tea to warm up.
"This is indeed a good thing to benefit the people, but has the prince forgotten the tax requirements set by the emperor for the prince? That is two million taels of silver. According to the current situation of Datong Mansion, if I save more, I can still meet the requirements.
, but now, now..."
Sheriff Zhang's brows tightened even more.
"Okay, there is no need for the governor to worry about this matter. Since the king can issue such an announcement, he is naturally fully prepared. Moreover, this year is a year of disasters and the people are displaced. It is the imperial court that spreads rain and dew.
time."
Zhu Gui talked.
"Since the prince has already made preparations, it would be better for the subordinate to worry too much."
Sheriff Zhang cupped his hands and wiped the sweat from his face.
He has naturally seen the money-making ability of the young prince in front of him, and he also knows the current Datong Chamber of Commerce's money-making ability. To describe it as a profit is to underestimate it.
The reason why he came in such a hurry was just to use this as a reason to ask about other things.
"Is the prince going to Beijing again this time?" Sheriff Zhang asked.
"Yes, the imperial edict has been issued for some time. I'm afraid I will have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. What can I do, Lord Sheriff?"
Zhu Gui gave Governor Zhang a strange look. The other two times he came to Beijing before, he didn't care so much.
"Then I don't know when the prince will be able to return to Datong Mansion this time?" Sheriff Zhang continued to ask.
"This trip to Beijing is to visit the prince's condition. The specific time when he can come back depends on the situation."
Zhu Gui said.
"That's it." Sheriff Zhang nodded, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"If you have any ideas, Lord Sheriff, it's okay to say so." Zhu Gui said directly.
Sheriff Zhang struggled for a while, then he knelt down in front of Zhu Gui and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you, but the source of the information is not very reliable, so I was still there before."
Hesitant, but when I think that the prince may be in danger, my subordinates feel very uneasy, so..."
"Danger? What danger? Come and listen, I will judge for myself whether the information is true or not." Zhu Gui tried to blur the look of confusion on his face.
"yes."
Sheriff Zhang took out a palm-sized crumpled piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui took it and saw that it was written in cinnabar in small regular script, densely packed with several crosses.
But after he finished reading it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He stood up all of a sudden and started pacing around the room.
Sheriff Zhang held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.
It wasn't until after burning the incense that Zhu Gui stopped, and the brows that had been twisted into the character "Sichuan" relaxed.
"Governor Zhang, your information is very timely. Regardless of whether it is accurate or not, you have made a great contribution this time. Here are 10,000 taels of silver notes. You can take them as my reward for you."
Zhu Gui took out a banknote and placed it on the table next to him.
However, County Sheriff Zhang did not go to get it. Instead, he lowered his head and said: "This is what the lower official should do, and the lower official also cares about the prince and never dares to have the slightest intention of claiming credit."
"Okay, just take the money. I have clear rewards and punishments, so I won't treat you badly. Do you want this reward and want me to lose money to you?"
Zhu Gui said.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I will lower my rank and thank you for your reward."
Zhu Gui said it was for this sake, so Sheriff Zhang collected the banknotes.
Then he was quickly sent away by Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui himself stood in the main hall, looking at Nanjing on the map in a daze.
"There will be someone who wants to harm me. Jin Yiwei has fallen. Who will it be this time? Lan Yu or the emperor?"
