The summer rain takes away the spring breeze, and the autumn leaves send away the summer rain, and the cold wind makes the autumn leaves fall. At the end of October, the weather in the north has become extremely cold.
There is no war around Youzhou now, the people live and work in peace, and business roads pass through north, south, east and west. Because of the emergence of the Beihai Protectorate, the disputes between the Beihai tribes and the Beihai King have become complicated, and are no longer the one-sided situation in the past.
Because of Xiaoguojun, Chi Shu, who had the advantage, was not in good condition now, and he was so angry that he cursed. If he hadn't been too accustomed to his poor strength, he would have gone to Zhao Xun to argue. But because of winter
As we arrived, the Beihai tribe also calmed down.
The war between the three Khitan tribes still did not make great progress, and the three Khitan tribes have not been able to take over the Fenwen tribes. According to the people of the three Khitan tribes, it was because the Fenwen tribes had supported by other tribes, otherwise, they would not be able to deal with it at all.
Zhao Xun didn't care about these three tribes. First, it was not the time to start a war, and secondly, he didn't have time to make the Northern War. The chaotic eight Khitan tribes were actually quite good.
In some towns, intensive production models have also emerged, similar to factories. For example, military uniforms and armor are naturally made by craftsmen, but Xiaoguojun is handed over to the logistics department, with logistics.
The company convenes garment merchants and asks them to bid for production. Of course, quality is necessary. Once problems arise, the logistics department and the merchants must bear all responsibilities. For example, the supply of clothing materials in the Grand Governor's Office is exclusively provided by special garment shops.
In order to prevent excessive exploitation, the Business Department also formulated wages and working hours for one day. The assembly line production also reduced the cost of many things, and the production time required to be shorter, so the profits of merchants will be greater, so they naturally
There will be no excessive exploitation of workers. If this happens, you have to get out of Youzhou. For a little profit, you will be expelled from Youzhou, a good place to make money. Of course, these businessmen will not do such stupid things.
Can dry the ground.
The rise of business has also made landlords and big-name merchants no longer value their own land. Compared with land, businessmen gain greater benefits. However, compared with the same level, only businessmen who settled in Youzhou have higher reputation ratings and government officials.
Most of the purchases are handed over to them. Why? Because they are from Youzhou. This also caused merchants from other places to curse secretly, but they could not do anything about it.
Although Youzhou is just a state, it connects barbarians in the north, sea in the east, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou in the south, and after occupying northern Hebei, it connects Qingzhou. From south to north, the profits that merchants can earn are huge.
, Maritime merchants can also sail across the sea. The prosperity of Youzhou's commerce, not to mention anything else, even the imperial court envied red eyes, but they could not issue an edict to reduce the commercial taxes in various places. Because the private commercial tax collection in these places is the government army
With an income from the government, even the merchants in Youzhou had to pay the slaughter of black paint when entering and leaving other places, and they didn't know the so-called taxes.
Fortunately, the Xiaoguo Army was supporting him, so the local governments and government troops were not too exaggerated, and no one made any malicious ideas. In addition, the escort agencies with the caravan also began to spread the world and received the consent of the local governments.
It’s not that they were afraid of the Xiaoguo Army, but that they disagreed, and the merchants would rather take a detour. Without the escort agency, the merchants now have no sense of security in other places. In order to get the money, these officials also agreed to let them not have armor.
The escort guards of the crossbow arrows were accompanied.
In addition, because the allocation of land will be calculated based on population, plus tax reduction and exemption, and the civilian status of landlords and private slaves will be restored, the population of Youzhou has increased a lot. In addition, the new household registration system will also add specific
Anti-counterfeiting signs, when entering and leaving other places, there will be specific household registrations. Pedestrians entering other places will also issue special identity documents to allow them to at the same time. Therefore, the population hidden in Youzhou suddenly surfaced.
Since ancient times, hiding people is always inevitable due to the capitation tax, especially when life is difficult, hiding people is even more powerful.
As the name suggests, the cap tax is to collect taxes according to the cap, that is, taxes are collected based on the population. No matter what you do, everyone has to pay taxes. It is very unfair that the rich and the poor collect as much as the poor. In ancient China, until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty
Only when the emperor's stalls were officially cancelled by the acres.
However, the Xiaoguo Army now collects taxes based on the actual land they own. As for the cap tax, Zhao Xun did not collect it, which is also a means to absorb foreign refugees into the country.
Because of the prosperity of business, the tax on business has also been reorganized. It is not taxed according to the merchant's own assets and the value of the goods prepared for transactions, just like in other places. Instead, it is levied on the corresponding proportion based on the value after the transaction is successful.
Originally, merchants pay taxes based on their own assets, which is not in line with commercial progress. This will lead to businessmen not continuing to expand their business after making money, but buying land, building manors, building luxury houses, buying beautiful wives, and servants.
The slaves re-freeze the funds in various ways, which seriously hindered the development of business and also aggravated land annexation, resulting in more refugees. Instead of being exploited, it is better to buy land and be a rich man and go
Enjoy life.
Like agriculture, commerce is a necessary factor for social development. There is no problem with scholars, farmers, industry and commerce at the end, but if the development of commerce is deliberately curbed, problems will arise.
The reason why Zhao Xun encouraged wealthy people to do business, encouraged township joint ventures, and even handed over some procurement from the government to them to make them have income. In addition to letting these people get rid of the constraints of the fields, they also wanted to store them in the cellar at home.
The money circulates.
Only when money is circulated can the economy be more active. Nowadays, people, whether people, landlords, or large families, like to hide most of their coins in their warehouses. They feel that they can only lie in their own homes.
The money in the warehouse is considered your own money.
When Zhao Xun cleaned up those landlords, basically every family would confiscate a large number of copper coins and silver coins, and even some ropes of copper coins were rotten, which shows how long the copper coins were stored. But even so, they were unwilling to take them out.
Put it on the market.
In fact, this is the current situation of this era. People nowadays are used to hiding money at home. Don’t you see that you often make a large amount of money for some fallen officials.
In addition, what Zhao Xun wanted to completely eliminate was the private money circulating in the world. These privately-cast copper coins are often short of weight for personal gain, which seriously affects the circulation of the market. In order to prohibit these, Xiaoguo
The military yamen also specially ordered that the circulation of private minted coins was prohibited, and the government did not accept private minted coins. Private minted coins carried by foreign merchants were not allowed to enter the country. Even so, some people were still exchanging private minted coins. Until the Xiaoguo military official issued an order,
It was found that someone who used private minting money would confiscate his property and expel him from the country. This prevented the emergence of private minting money.
However, because of the scarcity of copper coins, it also affected the normal lives of ordinary people. To this end, Zhao Xun stepped up the mining of copper mines, which caused many slaves from Marines to die in the mines. Zhao Xun decided to prepare to issue the land in the Xiaoguo Army.
currency.

Nowadays, there are a few more hostesses in the Grand Governor's Office, which makes it much more lively. No matter what the outside, the family is always harmonious. In addition, before the three girls entered the residence, they stayed in the residence for about two years, so they were naturally familiar.
I can't be familiar with it anymore. In addition, Zhao Xun doesn't have many rules. In his opinion, all the ladies and concubines are the same. Therefore, at the dinner party, the atmosphere on the table was harmonious and chatting and laughing.
, laughter.
"Xinyan, how can you be happy about what happened?" Zhao Xun said with a smile when he saw Li Xinyan having a meal.
"My brother got me a good horse from the Beihai tribes. Even if you are not as good as your jade qilin, it will not be much different. If you go out to play with you in the future, you will not be afraid of not being able to catch up... Alas...
"As he said that, Li Xinyan's face dimmed. She rang out and Zhao Xun was about to go to Luoyang soon. With the relationship between the court and the Xiaoguo Army, there were naturally many dangers.
"Or, you'd better not go!" Li Xinyan frowned slightly and said worriedly.
"There is nothing to worry about. The barbarians in the north can't do anything to us, so the court naturally dares not move lightly. Don't worry, I'm prepared!" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"I'll go with you! How about it?"
"Can……"
"Oh...ah? Really!"
"Really, go and see the imperial capital and have fun." Zhao Xun said relaxedly.
"Will it cause you trouble?" Li Xinyan remembered his father's words again and asked carefully. Now that he has become the wife of the Grand Governor, he naturally cannot act casually. His every move represents the great
The governor himself.
"This is not like you, you are much bolder than you are now. It's okay, let's just go for a walk."
Although he was already married, Li Xinyan saw that Zhao Xun had no special requirements for him, so after getting married, the lady who had been pretending to be a lady for a few days immediately regained her jumping temperament. Zhao Xun did not force anything about this.
A 17 or 18-year-old girl should be like this in Zhao Xun's memory. Therefore, she usually takes several women in the mansion to patrol the place and hunt.
In addition to reducing the siege of the Xiaoguo Army, Zhao Xun also wanted to get some craftsmen from the court's Ministry of Works. In addition, he also needed to introduce a group of scholars. In addition, he needed to communicate with the north and south and buy black gunpowder.
Material.
Although the Xiaoguo Army looks very powerful now, especially after pacifying the three eastern prefectures and forcing the Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo to cede land and seek reconciliation, the momentum is booming, and the world is unparalleled. But in fact, the Xiaoguo Army cannot support a larger one.
Fighted.
The court surrounded the four sides, so the passers-by broke the business road. If the war started again, the Xiaoguo Army would not be afraid, but the barbarians in the north would also take advantage of loopholes. The soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army might not care about the pay owed this time, but Zhao Xun could not
I don't care. Some soldiers rely solely on this salary to support their families. Although they all have land at home, they don't need money, especially those with sick and elderly people at home.
Isn't there a saying that? Let's not let heroes bleed and cry! Now this is the soldiers fighting, and they are for the sake of the country and the nation. It is impossible at that time, but more for the sake of supporting the family and for the sake of the family.
Young and old are not suffering. After all, they are fighting for Zhao Xun. If they can’t even pay the money, how can they let the soldiers fight for you with confidence? They are not afraid of death, because even if they die in battle, they will get it at home.
Pensions and care. But if they were not even these, would they still fight to the death without hesitation? More importantly, if they really faced the court and became chaotic in the north again, it would be detrimental to Zhao Xun.
Therefore, after being named the champion general and the governor of Youzhou, Zhao Xun bluntly spoke out to visit the palace. This prevented the surrounding government troops from continuing to siege. Of course, the start of farming by the Xiaoguo Army was also one of the factors.
In addition to these, Zhao Xun did not want the court's troops to fight to the death. The Turks in the north and the Wei, the Uighurs and the Xueyantuo tribes were all great enemies of the Han people. He did not want to fight with the court to the death, and finally let the grassland people take advantage of the border.
Go. It is reported that the Turks have now surrendered to the Uighurs and occup themselves in the north, staring at the Great Yan. Zhao Xun decided to let the court look at the Turks first.
