Did Shi Min really stop paying attention?Of course not, but every time I see Yuan Zhimu, I will ask one or two questions. Salt and iron are important matters related to the people's livelihood, especially the people use them every day. How could she not care about it? On the contrary, she was afraid that she would not care enough and gave the business salt Iron officials drill holes.

Therefore, in addition to asking Moto Naoki to put more effort into managing personnel, the Inspectorate is also asked to issue a document that each inspectorate must supervise the production and operation of salt and iron. .

The regulations were set together with the official management of salt and iron. There are clear regulations on production, personnel, wages, working systems and prices. In particular, it clearly stipulates the floating range of salt prices, which must not be lower than the price of rice, and must not be higher than the price of rice. Twice the price, it is the first one since ancient times.

Iron utensils, accept customization, and also sell finished products. The price is 30% of the cost plus the cost, and 30% is the profit. High-grade salt and iron officials enjoy salaries according to their grades, and those who are not popular, buddies and workers enjoy fixed wages plus commissions , There is an upper limit. Generally speaking, the salary is higher than the average level and lower than that of officials.

So when Lu Guanchu went to get the custom-made farm tools, the carpenter's labor was included, so it was naturally much more expensive than ordinary finished products, and it was also much more expensive than the set they bought from here.

Today, there was no one to accompany her, so Shi Min started to summon the ministers after lunch and rest. When Lu Guanchu came back, he saw that she was summoning the ministers, so he didn't bother her, and asked people to put the farm tools in the Wangyue Tower.

Shi Min is summoning Zhu Da from Qin Tianjian to finalize the process and matters of the Spring Plowing Ceremony. In previous years, it was held near the Ditan in Fandu. After all, crossing the river is just a palace. Hold, you need to make some appropriate adjustments.

Zhu Da's appearance is still so anxious, but his eyes are as bright as ever. He wears a Taoist robe and hangs a sign on the street to ensure that someone will come to him for fortune-telling. He has the potential to become a magic stick. The position of Tianjian Jianzheng is quite suitable for him.

The last person summoned was Guo Fanqiu. Today, Guo Fanqiu is more cautious and mature than before. He will report to her about the progress of the work every half a month. If there is any other explanation, he will report to her as soon as it is completed. Although the laying of the intelligence network started with Pingzhun, so far both tasks have achieved good results under her hard work day and night.

According to the progress, she secretly said that relying on Pingzhun, the laying of the intelligence network in all provinces and counties across the country could be completed at the latest early next year, and at the earliest this winter. She secretly said that although it was a gang situation, it was not a real gang after all, and she Not going to let it see the light.

So after deciding to do Pingzhun, we directly let the dark words rely on the newly established Pingzhun Firm, the business behavior is on the surface, and the dark words are in the inside. The two complement each other and are independent of each other. Currently, Guo Fanqiu is in charge.

Whether it is whispering, or Pingzhun Trading Company, she has invested a lot of money since its establishment until now, and it has been done one after another. It has been more than a year and has not yet paid back the capital, but she believes that it is only a matter of time before the capital is recovered and money is made.

Moreover, no matter whether it is Yinyan or Pingzhun Commercial Firm, the purpose is not to make money. The secret wording is to facilitate her to control the place better. Well, I will not be disappointed if I have prepared a lot of investment in the early stage and it takes a long time to turn around.

What makes her difficult is that Guo Fanqiu is a little anxious and guilty because of the unsatisfactory profits since the business, and feels sorry for her. Just like now, she has been reporting with her head down and dare not look directly at her.

While Guo Fanqiu was reporting the recent work progress of Yinyan and Pingzhun Trading Company, he was thinking about how to accuse him later, whether it was Yinyan or Pingzhun Trading Company, but so far he has not earned a penny for His Majesty.

"...As of now, the profit of Yinyan and the firm is not satisfactory, and please punish him." Guo Fanqiu suddenly knelt down.

It’s better to be cute when she’s by her side. It seems that she can’t do anything without saying anything today, “The dark word and the firm are still in their infancy, so there’s no rush. It’s only a matter of time before they become profitable. Just start working step by step. Get up.” , how is the investigation of Kang Guo and Chang Le going?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I only found out some of them because I implied that the laying work in the north hadn't been completed yet, and the people sent to investigate haven't replied yet, so I didn't report it to Your Majesty." Guo Fanqiu has only found a little bit of information so far.

"Let's talk." She really wanted to know if what Xuan Changle said was true, and also wanted to know what happened in Kang Guo.

The six vassal states are independent in terms of economy, military affairs, and diplomacy. The only thing that is the same as the Hua Dynasty is that they adopt the year name of the Hua Dynasty and the princes granted by the Hua Dynasty wear crowns and form court teams. Or the clothes and the political system were influenced by the Hua Dynasty, with a strong color of Han culture.

Now they pay tribute once every three years in Fandu. In the past, they paid tribute once a year. After being reduced by Shi Min, the Six Kingdoms went back and unified the memorial request to change it to pay tribute once every three years, thinking of entertaining them and being responsible She didn't want to deal with the money spent by the security guards, so she agreed.

Anyway, the Hua Dynasty did not close its doors. Whether it was with the six surrounding vassal states or other small countries on the official road in the southwest, as long as the formalities were complete, they could come to the cities on the border of the Hua Dynasty to trade, or even come to Fandu, so they paid tribute for three years. One time is more suitable.

One of the advantages of being a vassal state is that there are appropriate preferential tariffs for trade with China, and those who are not vassal states are strictly enforced according to tariffs.

Just for the change of paying tribute every three years, she was often persuaded by the ministers, and she fought a war of words in the court for a whole day. Some were in favor and some were against. The reason for the opposition was that it would affect the Dahua Empire. The image is also suspected of showing weakness; the reason in favor is that it can save a lot of manpower and financial resources.

But in her opinion, whether the country is strong or not depends on this, so she did not accept the advice of opposition.

Since His Majesty wanted to listen, Guo Fanqiu told what he had found out. There is indeed a student named Chang Le in Mingdao College, who is from Kang Country. He is thirteen years old this year. Love and hate, love her for studying well, hate her for playing tricks on others.

Since entering Mingdao Academy, he has always been among the best in every exam, and he learns everything very quickly, but he likes to play tricks on people during recess and breaks, either by making a bug in other people's books, or when others are asleep Draw a cat face, there are countless such kinds.

This is different from the Xuan Changle she saw, but when a big change occurs, even an adult may have a big change in temperament, let alone a young man who has not yet fully formed.

About Kang Guo, Guo Fanqiu found relatively little information. It is true that there has been civil strife in Kang Guo recently, but what about the royal family?How is the result?It has not been reported yet, but the trade on the border between the two countries has indeed decreased a lot in the past two months.

It's really quite rare. After a few words of encouragement to Guo Fanqiu, Shi Min let her back down. He planned to meet Xuan Changle again after knowing what happened in Kang Guo. The rumors of her staying in the Beihan Temple became more and more evil.

There are rumors that she is a relative of the emperor, a relative of the emperor, and there are also rumors that she looks better than a fairy and attracted the attention of the emperor, so she was moved to Beihan Temple. How much can a twelve or thirteen-year-old child It was so beautiful that she couldn't laugh or cry, and she stopped after ordering not to speak out.

As for why there is no rumor that it is an illegitimate daughter of a certain sect, it has something to do with the cultural customs here. Not only do illegitimate children here have no inheritance rights, but they are also disliked by the world, so if it is really an illegitimate daughter, then even if it is The palace has no qualifications, so there are no such rumors.

The situation is still unclear now, and it is really not suitable to meet. Hearing Lu Guanchu's report that he has taken back all the farm tools, he casually asked about the price, and felt that it was about the same, so he went directly to Wangyue Tower.

The new iron farming tools were placed neatly in the corner, and Shi Yan carefully picked them up one by one and looked at them one by one. The smelting technology was not as advanced and pure as modern times, but it was not bad, so people moved these tools to He went to Huangtian and called the senior officials of the household department and the farmers who cultivated Huangtian.

Since the emperor and officials moved across the river, Fandu has become more lively, especially after the implementation of the "Collection Order", the household officials and inspectorate officials who were left behind in Fandu are almost too busy to touch the ground.

The "Collection Order" was issued to various places in January of the fifth year of Tianfu, and it was officially implemented nationwide on February [-]. The first six days were the self-examination stage, and people could declare and pay various taxes by themselves. After the seventh day, everyone Tax evaders can be reported. Once verified, the property will be divided into three parts, one part belongs to the state, one part belongs to the person who reported the report, and the remaining part belongs to the original owner.

Whether it is the nobles, gentry, businessmen in Fandu, or the powerful and wealthy people from all over the country, the first six days of this February are very anxious and troubled. They don't want to pay so much taxes and fees, and they are afraid that the court will come Really, there is only one third left in the end, what the hell are you still alive?

But when I thought about the edicts issued by His Majesty before, even if they encountered obstacles, they were still implemented in the end, and they also paid a lot less taxes by concealing their properties. The risk is to report something that is not profitable.

But His Majesty has given such generous rewards now. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under great rewards, not to mention such high profits and zero cost. If they don't pay back within the self-examination period, the probability of being reported is more than [-]%.

Originally, some nobles, gentry, and businessmen in Fandu were going to make up the payment, but in the end someone secretly sent them a message to the effect that the Zhao family and the Wen family did not make up the payment, so why should we make up the payment? handed in.

The empress dowager, Zhao Huan, has long since left her mind. It has been cold recently, and she stays in the palace almost every day to raise her rabbits. She doesn't even go out of the gate. She doesn't even know that her granddaughter has issued the "Collection Order".

The Empress Dowager Wen Yu is in charge of some things, but she only cares about the affairs of the palace. Since her daughter's reform, she doesn't need to worry too much about the work in the palace, especially now that there are only her and the queen mother in the palace, and there is nothing outside the palace. She won't care about major events.

The news of Zhao and Wen's non-payment of taxes and fees was spread in Fandu, and it spread to the old head of the Zhao family, the empress dowager's brother. It was already the sixth day of February, the last day, called The housewife came to inquire about it, and when she found out the reason, she severely reprimanded her daughter-in-law, and told her to report to the household department immediately, and make up for it.

The Wen family is similar to the Zhao family. The head of the family followed his Majesty to cross the river. The head of the house is the husband who presides over the overall situation at home. Wen Yu went to apply for a supplementary payment, and when Wen Yu found out, he was already in trouble. ?
