Chapter 425 Trading City

After the snow in the early morning, the sun is shining brightly.

When Luoyang people came together, they found that the whole Luoyang seemed to have undergone some changes.A new notice has been posted where the previous notice was posted.The new notice is also posted in the same place as Wang Shichong and Li Mi posted before, and people are also asked to read it aloud for everyone.

The only difference is that this notice is much bigger than usual and has a different color.

Wang Shichong used black and white letters, and Li Mi also used black and white letters, but this notice was blood red.

This represents something.

The city of the Eastern Capital should no longer be Wang Shichong and Li Mi's Luoyang, but has a new owner.Although the people in Luoyang don't know what happened, even the most foolish people know who the latest master will be now.

Who else is there besides that mysterious young man who can wipe out even Li Mi's Wagang Army?

The bright red paper of the notice has an extremely mighty golden dragon around it.This notice does not look like a drawing but a rubbing.There are also large and small golden seal scripts in the middle of the notice, which looks very pleasing to the eye, but everyone shook their heads and seemed to praise it, but no one could understand it in their hearts.

Fortunately, there were people who read and explained, so that the anxious people gradually understood the content of this huge notice.

Although it is not written on the notice, the person who explains it always likes to introduce first that the Dazheng Dynasty has passed.

Dazheng Emperor Wang Shichong, who had not yet had time to ascend the throne and declare to the world, let his son Wang Xuanying join forces with Daming Zunjiao to seek the throne, and finally aroused the anger of the generals and fled to the city of Luoyang without a trace, and the Huaxia Army took over.No one asked to explain who the Huaxia Army was because even the blind could see it.Now standing guard is no longer the guards of the imperial city, but strange soldiers with a killing aura on the battlefield.

These soldiers standing upright like guns in the morning wind with expressionless faces are naturally the subordinates of that magical military division.Only those teams that can defeat the Wagang Army can have such strong and serious soldiers.

No one in Luoyang felt sorry for Wang Shichong's death. The only strange thing is that he died at the hands of his eldest son.

For the dead Wang Shichong.Everyone expressed emotion for a second or so, and the content of the notice attracted them.

At the top of the notice, it stated that Luoyang City would no longer be heavily guarded and would no longer take the initiative to fight as a trading city in the future.The regular army is less than [-] people.All unqualified soldiers or disabled soldiers turned into military workers and no longer perform military service and become a special profession, but they also enjoy military merit awards and salaries in the Luoyang army.

The Lord of Luoyang is Wang Xuanshu, the second son of Wang Shichong, and the guard general of Luoyang is Yang Gongqing.

Everyone was puzzled that Wang Xuanshu became the lord of Luoyang City instead of the young man who defeated the Wagang Army, but guessed in their hearts.But he dared not speak too much in his mouth for fear of making mistakes.

In the notice, there are nine rights and obligations that Luoyang people enjoy after the eastern capital Luoyang becomes a trading city, and there are even nine penalties.

The first article about rights turned out to be.Luoyang people have the right to trade freely.This simply made all the people in Luoyang feel unbelievable. Is there any place in the world where business is not allowed?

On this point, the explainer explained that free trade means that everything can be bought and sold.This vague sentence made all the shrewd Luoyang people's jaws drop to the ground, and no one could understand the meaning of this sentence.However, when asked by those who are interested, the explainers all vaguely answered that the largest measure of trade freedom must be approved by the Huaxia Army.But he didn't say what the biggest scale was, and the eyes of the caring person's eyes lit up.

There are as many as nine rights. One is freedom of trade; the other is freedom of settlement and entry and exit;The notice used a lot of words to specify the number of words.No matter what kind of local people, no matter what customs and habits.Regardless of whether farmers, workers, merchants, scholars, Confucians, scholars, soldiers, etc., people must respect each other within the control of the Huaxia Army.Those who disobeyed orders could be shown to the public and whipped, or deported or even beheaded.

The businessmen who were most happy to hear this were the peasants and workers, and those who were dissatisfied were mostly Confucian scholars and officials.

It is clearly stipulated that no soldiers, officials or others are allowed to order others to clear the way in the city under the pretext of other than military orders. The low-status businessmen feel that the weather today is really sunny.

No matter how many rights there are, people will not be disgusted, especially the ninth point, anyone has the right to become an official.

This is simply unbelievable to my eyes. Although I know that there must be a lot of meanings in it, it will not be so simple, but I no longer pass the Confucian scholar's imperial examination to become an official. The scale set up by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty made many merchants cheer in unison.The workers and peasants have no objection because they feel that it is strange that they can become officials, and even if they can become officials, they will not do it.

After reading the rights, read the obligations. The first point is that Luoyang people have the obligation to perform military service.And it's not as simple as that. It clearly stipulates that all descendants of Luoyang, male or female, must undergo military service training for a period of time after enjoying the right to study.Women are more symbolically set to three months and men are up to three years, but they can be divided into 15 years.

Because the narrator explained that these young people are not considered a regular army and do not need to participate in the war, they just train their physique, and after the training, some outstanding people can work in the city. Ordinary people can also choose some jobs promoted by the Huaxia Army.

As a result, they are most supported by the relatively poor people in the workers and peasants. They think that it is a good choice to train for a few years and then find a stable income. Anyway, there is no need to fight.

The second point of duty is taxation.

The notice clearly stipulates that all Luoyang people have the obligation to pay taxes.

Surprisingly, this tax is also beyond everyone's expectations.The second obligation stipulates that any trade shall be subject to a uniform one hundred and one tax.It means that one of the hundred percent of the trade volume is taken as a tax, which is a world away from Wang Shichong's previous [-] taxes or the previous [-] taxes in the Sui Dynasty.This tax almost made the businessmen almost not shed tears.

People from the two classes of workers and peasants also cheered because it is not only a one-hundred-one tax.More importantly, there is no need to pay any taxes for buying things.

In other words, all taxes are actually only half of the tax paid by the seller.

Of course, although the one-hundred-one tax is light enough, some people are dissatisfied.These people are casino owners or brothel owners because they are all profitable industries.Even a one-hundred-one tax would be enough to make them feel bad. They still think it would be ideal if someone came to collect the tax and stuffed a bag of gold and silver in the past.

Like rights, there are nine obligations, except for military service and taxes.Almost no one in other places contradicts and opposes it.

After rights and duties come penalties.

Rights and obligations make Luoyang people happy, except for a few people who are dissatisfied, most people are still excited.But when they heard the punishment below, all Luoyang people couldn't help but gasped.

Because this punishment is not ordinary severe but quite severe, which makes people feel cold.

Article [-] of the New Penalties in Luoyang, a trading city, anyone who rapes women, collaborates with the enemy, rebels, rebels and kills humanity will not be spared.The first two points are easy to understand.The third is inhumanity. When the explainer said that many people were in a cold sweat because their unfilial parents betrayed their friends, traded them, bullied others, etc., it turned out to be a kind of inhumanity.

That is.Once the Huaxia Army determines that an unfilial son or profiteer has reached the point of inhumanity, they can show him innocent and beheaded.This makes a lot of people beat their heads.

The second is that those who injure or disable limbs for no reason will be amputated if the limbs are severe, and those who beheaded will be compensated or have their fingers severed.

This line made many members of the Jianghuren's gang break into a cold sweat. Is this too strict?The narrator explains.There will be some places in Luoyang City specially used to resolve disputes or vendettas. If mediation is not possible, you can apply for where to fight.Even life and death.Not only can the wounded be treated and buried, but they can also get a certain share of the entrance fees of all visitors.

Vendetta can also make money.This is simply ridiculous and ridiculous but it is not too irresistible.Because it doesn't look good on the surface, but it actually sounds good.At least if two people go there for a fight, not only will they be healed afterwards, but also paid for, that would be a good choice, especially for those who feel good about their skills.

The new punishments in Luoyang, the eastern capital known as the trading city, are all kinds of strange. Among them, one who drowned and spit in the street or committed various indecent behaviors was fined or severely whipped and then paraded through the streets.

Those who feel that fines are barely acceptable are merchants; those who feel that whippings are acceptable are mostly workers and peasants;When the narrator turned over the thick scroll in his hand and reminded that when a child over six years old violated this regulation, the parents and elders in the family would be punished in the same way. Everyone felt that this penalty was simply embarrassing.

But no one dared to do something stupid that made life difficult for them.

Because there were some rebellious guys who spit thick phlegm on the spot to express their protest, and they were immediately caught by the soldiers on the side and severely whipped.Those with a little stronger martial arts could not run three streets, so the soldiers were tied up and hung upside down under the bridge pier where the most people passed by.If the quarrel injures a soldier in the collision, he will even kill him on the spot and hang his head high.

Only then did everyone realize that the above notice was not a joke.

Although the punishment is extremely severe, it's nothing to most people, as long as you take care of your bad habits or the children at home, it's not a big deal.

Article [-] of the penalty: Anyone who privately manufactures and counterfeit new trade currencies will be severely punished.

This made the Luoyang people have no opinion on the punishment for the first time, except that they were worried about whether the new currency was said to be equivalent to the gold and silver in their hands.Because they saw that there was paper in the currency of Huaxia Army Xinxing Bank.

These extremely weird and extremely bright papers represent different values ​​and it is said that the highest amount reaches [-] yuan.But these papers are not too worrying because they are not immediately circulated in Luoyang. In other words, merchants in Luoyang are not qualified to exchange these delicate and beautiful banknotes that are hard to put down.

They only travel within the army and do not circulate outside.

What is in circulation is a hardware composed of three types of copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.Copper coins are different from ordinary copper coins in weight but not light, and the middle is no longer a square hole but a round hole.There are exquisite patterns on the back, a bunch of wheat ears and a bunch of rice tails wrapped around each other, and on the front are four seal characters of Huaxia copper coins.

Silver dollars are similar to copper coins and are more delicate and thick without holes in the middle.

The protruding pattern on the back is a blooming peony flower, and on the front is an old man whom no one knows. It is said that Lu Miaozi is the most skillful person in the world who makes these coins.

The gold coin is the same as the silver dollar but has a lotus flower embossed on the back.There are many exquisite patterns on the side of the golden lotus. The front is said to be the profile of Lu Miaozi.Everyone was amazed that that young man would use his own image to publicize to the world, but he did not make everyone puzzled.
