A king of Zhao personally ordered that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Commerce join forces with the Shadow Department, the Hawkeye Department and the local governments summarize the prices of materials related to people's livelihood in various parts of Zhao State and formulate limited prices. They will be published randomly on the government notices and industrial and commercial newspapers.
.
As soon as this system was released, it immediately had a great impact, no less than when the newspaper appeared a month ago. Because the weather gradually became colder, the people were in a time of more leisure time. Therefore, in the tea shop
There is also more time to have gatherings and chat in restaurants and other places.
Speaking of which, this move is definitely a great thing for ordinary people in the world. For them, they need to worry about the sharp drop in grain prices during harvest season, the rapid rise in grain prices during natural disasters, and even the difficulty in buying grain for food.
. Therefore, after the new government policy known from the vernacular texts in the Industrial and Commercial Daily, it was naturally very happy. The move of the Ministry of Revenue is naturally a great good thing and good news for ordinary people, such as them.
Therefore, for a moment, in many places, the people spontaneously became central officials, especially the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Commerce, and King Zhao’s tens of thousands of words to thank God for his kindness.[
However, the system established by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Commerce has indeed had a significant blow to some businessmen. It is not that they are taking advantage of the situation and raising prices. After all, the Zhao army has not yet experienced any large-scale natural disasters. However,
As the cold winter is approaching, many people are still preparing to take this opportunity to make a small profit.
Why do you say so? Since the Zhao State unified the north, it has treated the people in the north, especially those in the northern border areas, especially those newly occupied by the Zhao army. After all, it has given great preferential treatment to the people who moved from the south.
, if the State of Zhao occupied the north and gradually expanded northward, so that the northern alien races no longer existed in the future, and the foundation for survival could only allow the Han people to spread in the north.
Therefore, snow disasters are the northern land, especially Liaozhou, Dingzhou and Xinjin cut off the grassland, which require the care of Zhao. Therefore, every winter when heavy snow comes, many businessmen go from the river to the north.
The purchase supplies were hoarded in the southern region, and then sold them when the snow disaster came. Many people even colluded with the government to make profits.
But now after the price is set, all their previous actions will be implemented. Exceeding prices will inevitably be punished. Although they cannot be convicted immediately, any merchant who sells goods at a price exceeding prices will be revoked by the Ministry of Commerce.
At that time, he could no longer trade. Without the qualifications of trade, he would not be allowed to continue trade, let alone a suspect waiting for review.
You know, every businessman in Zhao State has a credibility level. Even if some people can be pardoned for their crimes, if their business qualifications are revoked, even if they can continue to trade in the future, then they have spent a long time.
The credibility level improved by energy will no longer exist. In this case, it will be a huge loss.
In order to improve the credit rating, these merchants provided a lot of help to the Zhao government. They assisted the Zhao army in transporting food, grass and materials, assisted the Zhao army in relocation of the people, assisted the Zhao army in relieving disaster victims, and assisted the Zhao army in conquering the city. Think about it, if it was so hard
It's really heartbreaking to have worked hard all of them.
In addition to these people who want to take this opportunity to make a small profit, there are also many illegal businessmen who rely on the essential materials of the people to make huge profits. However, between transactions, you are willing to do so, as long as you don’t make people angry and resentful.
The actions of these businessmen are not very illegal.
However, now that the court does this, many merchants will suffer a lot of losses. The prices must be greater than the law, so they naturally have to measure money and profits. More importantly, since the court has decided this
The system, whether it is the Ministry of Revenue or the Censorate, no matter how many newspapers or the supervisory secret office directly under King Zhao, will focus on this, and these businessmen dare not easily test the law.
Of course, there are no natural disasters in the State of Zhao recently, so there is no chance to receive huge losses. Therefore, although the merchants were dissatisfied, they were not too angry. In addition, this designated price is also beneficial to these merchants.
The government still purchases materials. Especially for grain, some skin, animal tendons and other materials related to military purposes, the government still purchases them at a price. These merchants can make a difference from them, and there is no need to worry about the level of governments in various places.
Price.
In addition, even if the court has designated a certain price, it is allowed to float up and down. Moreover, it can make considerable profits between floating. Moreover, the court does this, which is beneficial to the country and the people.
The reason why this customized price has had a great impact is not only related to the people of Zhao State and those merchants, but also to officials, great gentry and scholars. In Zhao State, Zhao Xun limited the possession of each household for each land
The quantity, especially the great gentry, was restricted and strict. Therefore, they shifted their energy to doing business one after another. Scholars and officials were also inseparable from family business. Although regardless of their origin, Zhao State was one and the other.
Paying food and taxes, but this is related to their own interests, and they will not ignore them. Therefore, in several newspapers, many officials and scholars have written to leave their opinions, opinions and concerns.
Zhao Xun naturally understood their concerns, and also understood the importance of these scholars and officials on their own interests. However, this is related to national interests, Zhao Xun naturally would not give in. In addition, with the expansion of Zhao State
, With the suggestions of Dazhao Current Affairs News encouraging overseas trade, the trade scope has also been expanded for them.
What Zhao Xun is concerned about at this moment is not the reaction of the people of the world to this matter, but because of the various problems found in this matter. If you don’t check it, you will be shocked. Zhao Xun is now extremely angry. From the eagles from all over the world
Judging from the returns of the Eye Department and the Shadow Department, many local governments colluded with merchants and made considerable profits.
"Look, this is our officials. People from all over the world are sending ten thousand words to praise my officials in Da Zhao, but what about the actual situation?" Zhao Xun said furiously in the Mingzheng Hall.
It’s not that Zhao Xun is so angry. This time, Zhao Xun asked the Hawkeye Department and the Shadow Department to check the merchants specifically, but they were shocked. Among the governments in various places, those who colluded with merchants to seek benefits were not here.
few.
"Your Majesty, such officials must be severely punished and not dealt with, and they will be ashamed of the people of Zhao." Pei Yi said angrily. Although Pei Yi is old and has some stiffness. However, Pei Yi is also a central official.
Among them, the most upright person is more upright and more likely to consider the people.
Lu Ziliang, Yang Wangqing and others also agreed with Pei Yi's opinion in unison. They knew very well that King Zhao was still angry at this moment, and no one would stop him. In addition, these local officials were a bit too much.
After seeing the results of Zhao Xun's investigation by the Shadow Department and the Hawkeye Department, Lu Ziliang and others could not help but secretly observe silently for these people.
Zhao Xun nodded and said coldly: "It seems that I am not investigating enough! I don't know how many scholars in Youzhou City have arranged it. In the two states of the Western Regions, I don't know how many scholars teach foreigners in the border areas.
Culture. Now it's just right, they feel that their position is too easy and their desires are unsatisfactory, so let's change them."
"By the way, in the current affairs report of the Great Zhao, I talked about the hard work of the soldiers, and also about the teaching and educating people in the frontier areas, and about the contributions they made to my Great Zhao in the frontier areas.
This king will not treat any meritorious minister unfairly, nor will he let any corrupt and perverted power outage."[
"The year is coming soon, and it is time for Chaoji. I will send orders to this Chaoji, no matter where our ruler is under the jurisdiction of Zhao, no matter when it happens, those above the prefectural level must enter the Chaoji. Hum...
If you die, you will die on the road to Youzhou City." Zhao Xun said softly with a gloomy face.
The Great Zhao Dynasty inherited the old system of Da Yan. At the end of each year, local prefectures, chief officials and military generals were ordered to visit the palace. If the situation in the border areas is urgent and local floods and droughts are suspected, the chief general or chief officials will be in charge.
Left behind, and other officials replaced them. They all arrived at Kyoto at the end of November. On December 1, the Ministry of Personnel was held in the Shangshu Province and the officials' ceremony. Then they gathered in the examination hall to receive the examination results and followed their achievements in the palace.
.
However, the situation found out made Zhao Xun extremely angry. Zhao Xun now understood that for the sake of the emperors of all dynasties, they all liked to use their own secret spies and secret guards, which were all the civil and military officials to "force them".
'I know. Zhao Xun also understands why the personal guards and secret guards in the hands of emperors of all dynasties have no good reputation.
Except for a very small number that really harmed the people, the rest are probably because they "harmed" Literary Network officials. After all, will the emperor's confidants be able to compete with ordinary people? Could it be obtained from ordinary people
The benefits are less than those of civil and military officials? Can ordinary people show the power of their royal hawks better than those of civil and military officials?
These officials are harming the people, and at the same time they are also harming the emperor and digging the emperor's foundation. If Zhao Xun can let them go, he is sending himself to death, or in other words, to his own Da Zhao. The world is still
Without peace, everything below has become like this. If the world is peaceful, I don’t know what will happen. No matter what, Zhao Xun first shocked the officials of Zhao State.
Under Zhao Xun's secret order, both the Shadow Division and the Hawkeye Division began to expand their scale, and at the same time, they also began to conduct a thorough investigation of officials from all over the country.
The weather gradually became colder, and various policies of Zhao State were also steadily progressing. Xuzhou has gradually stabilized with the development of time. The officials sent by Zhao State have basically controlled all parts of Xuzhou, and Xuzhou originally had
Except for half of the officials who were dismissed for various reasons, the other half of the officials who had higher positions returned to Youzhou City to wait for arrangements by Zhao State Central, and those with lower positions assisted Zhao State officials in various places to manage the local area. After all, they are Xuzhou.
Local officials have a far cry from Xuzhou, which is far beyond the reach of officials from Zhao State.
Li Fangzong and several other senior officials of the former Chu army who had relatively good background in the State of Zhao still managed Xuzhou's people's livelihood government affairs in the upper class of Xuzhou. Of course, senior officials of the State of Zhao in Xuzhou, government, military, judicial supervision, taxation and other systems, Yuan Chu
Military officials are just one of them.
This time, the King of Zhao ordered officials from all over the State of Zhao to be like the Youzhou Chaochang, no matter where they are or whether there are abnormal situations, and also made the former Chu army officials in Xuzhou frightened.
"Governor, you are the highest among all the officials of the Chu army in Zhao State. Do you know what the purpose of the King of Zhao's edict was?" The Governor's Office, many officials from the Chu army who were born in Xuzhou and stayed in Xuzhou as officials.
Li Fangzong asked for advice.
Li Fangzong looked at the six judges in the governor's yamen in front of him and said indifferently: "What? The King of Zhao's edict has its own truth. What are you worried about? Besides, this matter of the court,
It is also the rule of Zhao State, which is common sense. What are you afraid of?”
"Sir, logically speaking, Zhao Guochaoji usually needs to participate in the newly introduced and included in the system in Xuzhou. After all, local stability is the foundation. Our Chu army surrendered to Zhao officials, and now most of them are on standby in Youzhou.
And we…”
Li Fangzong's face turned cold and said in a deep voice: "Let's clearly see your position and don't mention your Chu army's identity. You must know that now, you and I are both ministers of Zhao State. Remember, if you don't pay attention to small matters, you will definitely be sure.
There will be trouble."
"As for the King of Zhao's edict, you need to worry, even if you are worried, you will resist. Besides, this time, the entire Zhao State ministers and local officials above the prefecture will enter the court, and it is not deliberately targeting us.
, What are you worried about? This time I entered the court, Li Fangzong, and it’s not you, what are you afraid of?”
"Sir, although you entered the court, you are also the leader of our group. If you...what goes wrong with you, we will never escape..."
Li Fangzong interrupted the following words coldly: "Do your own business well, and you need to worry about the rest. Since Zhao State has left you to serve in the local area, it is important to value your ability. If you do it yourself and do it right, you
What are you afraid of? Well, this matter needs to be discussed again, and you will go on your own."
"By the way, I would like to warn you again, Xuzhou is not the former Xuzhou, but the jurisdiction of Zhao State. No matter what your behavior was, from now on, I will do my best to do things honestly and do less
Things you shouldn't do. Otherwise, if you don't have the head to protect yourself, you won't be blamed for others."
After everyone left, Li Fangzong's younger brother Li Fangyu appeared in front of Li Fangzong and said in a deep voice: "Brother, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? Worry about Zhao's army attacking us? Fangyu, you are also the governor of the first government now, why are you still so 'harsh'?" Li Fangzong frowned and said, "The King of Zhao wants to attack us, why should we enter Youzhou?
?Take it right, can we make waves?"
"In my opinion, the officials from Zhao State in various places suffered this time, and we are the King of Zhao who wanted to see the rules of Zhao State and also shock us."
"Is that true? It's true?" Li Fangyu murmured to himself.
"Maybe! In less than two months, King Zhao made such a big noise, newspapers, balanced prices! Dealing with unsubmissive scholars and buying the people of the world. Now, it is becoming increasingly difficult for King Zhao to understand."
[
Starting from November, it was already winter in Youzhou City, but more and more people were in Youzhou City. When the Chao Gathering arrived, officials from all over the country began to gather in Youzhou City. Although these officials were all parents,
In Youzhou City, I dare not have any arrogance. Youzhou City is the current capital of Zhao State. Who knows whether there is a big backstage behind the people coming and going in the city? Who can guarantee that it is among the people?
, there were no secret guards of King Zhao who were monitoring them.
Of course, these are not the reasons why parents and officials in these places are careful. Since then, they have received the imperial edict from King Zhao, these parents and officials have known that this time, the court gathering is afraid of being unstable. Most of them have been in the government for several years, so naturally, they are in the government.
I also have my own eyesight and experience, and I will not be able to notice it at all.
After they entered Youzhou City, they realized that this time the matter was probably not simple. None of the officials in the three provinces, two courts and nine departments of the central government were willing to open the door of the mansion to receive visits from local officials. As a result, these officials were
I know that this festival is not simple.
These officials carefully investigated the situation in Youzhou City and contacted other officials to find answers. Many officials were worried at this moment. As the official, it would be impossible for them to say that there was no illegal things on them.
. Therefore, they were also afraid that these things would be known to the court.
At this moment, the central officials were carefully checking the information summarized by the Shadow Department and the Hawkeye Department from various places in the Qinzheng Hall. They wanted to summarize the faults of each local official to determine the punishment results.
At this moment, Zhao Xun was so angry that his face turned pale. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t check it, it was unbelievable if he checked it. Most of the local officials had illegal acts, but it was just the difference between more and less, light and heavy.
.
"This is my official in Da Zhao... It's really good! It's really good!" Zhao Xun said coldly. In his heart, he had decided to increase the establishment and power of secret guards.
"What do you think of the handling of these officials?" Zhao Xun pointed to the large stack of rosters, and said indifferently.
Although Zhao Xun's tone was plain, everyone could feel the anger in King Zhao's heart.
Pei Yi was also angry when the secret guards found out, and said angrily: "Master, these people are not to be jealous of death. According to my foolish opinions, they should be dealt with more severely."
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "King, I think that those who are serious should be dealt with severely, and they will never be invited. However, many of the lesser circumstances can be allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious service. After all, these officials have already occupied the lower half of our Great Zhao rule.
If you have more than one thing, it is that people's hearts are turbulent."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly, and he also knew that it was impossible for people to make no mistakes when the water was clear, "Okay, then you will list the bad behaviors. This time, I will rectify my big shots.
