The king of Shu and the others postponed the date of action for half a month, before the Lantern Festival, and Li Yi could only passively accept that he couldn't put a knife on his neck to force him, that would be too inhumane.
There are comings and goings, everyone has problems to discuss, express their views, and compromise with each other. This is the way to solve the problem.
For example, I helped him plan the time and route. He felt that it would be better to do it after a year, and he also felt that what he said made sense. See you all on Lantern Festival, so the matter was settled.
The next thing will be much easier. If Shuzhou wants to develop, after eliminating officials, banditry, and the unstable factors of the King of Shu, the first thing to eliminate is those closed or outdated policies.
Right now, for ordinary people in Shuzhou, agriculture is still the most important and the most basic. It is related to whether they can have enough food and whether they are hungry or not.
On this basis, it is necessary to emphasize that industry, agriculture and commerce go hand in hand and develop together.
And that's exactly what they do these days.
Reduce tariffs, attract investment, cancel the curfew, open night markets, build workshops, provide a large number of jobs for women who are idle at home, and sell the goods produced in the workshops to merchants from various countries...
Shuzhou will become Jingguo's first special economic zone.
…
Walking on the streets of Yong County with Ruyi Ruoqing again, this place is quite different from what I saw a few months ago.
The streets of Yongxian County in the past were dirty and messy, with garbage everywhere and sewage ditches everywhere. When passing some sections of the road, one had to cover one's mouth and nose.
Now the streets are cleaned by special personnel, not to mention spotless, at least there is no such messy feeling.
Of course, the Yongxian county government did this not just to implement the policies of the governor.
Since Shuzhou's tariff and commercial law reform, within a short period of time, it has attracted businessmen from Jingguo, Qiguo, and even Wuguo.
The geographical location of Shuzhou is unique, and it is the necessary place for these businessmen to travel between countries. Now that the commercial law has been reformed, looking at several countries, there is no state that is more friendly to these businessmen than Shuzhou.
Every day, goods from all over the world converge here, and there is no need to travel around. Anything they want to buy can be found in Yong County, free trade.
It's not just the businessmen who are happy, the officials of Yong County are even happier than them.
Although the tax rate for foreign businessmen has been reduced, the total tax amount has increased by ten times and dozens of times. Those businessmen who come here rent shops, rent land and build workshops. This is all white money, although the money cannot be moved. , but I am also happy to see it!
What's more, the money will eventually be used in Shuzhou, which includes their bonuses. With a little performance, the year-end bonus alone is worth a year's salary.
Before this, they thought it was the new Inspector Chen's head in the water, but now they realized that it was clearly His Royal Highness King Jing's unique vision, foresight and insight...
"It is said that His Royal Highness King Jing is going to get married soon..."
"I've heard that in a few days, all Goulan in the city will be performing for free for three days. Now you can watch as much as you want!"
"Your Highness has only been in Shuzhou for a few months, and the officials have changed for the better, and there are no more bandits. Every day is different. My mother-in-law and aunt weave in the cloth workshop, and they can earn thirty yuan a day. I have been exhausted all day long." Only a few sons, alas..."
"Just laugh secretly. We have been looking forward to the stars and the moon. How many years have we waited for His Highness to come. This time His Highness is getting married. We have to express that the eggs at home are almost full of baskets, although it is not worth it. A few dollars, but it's still a little thought... "
…
Li Yi has not shown his face in public a few times, so he can walk on the street with Ruyi Ruoqing like this without worrying about being recognized.
Ruyi said before that she wanted to pass on the Liu family's kung fu. Li Yi asked Ruoqing to select a dozen girls of the right age from the Goulan. Now that she is free, she will teach them kung fu. Mo and Ruoqing and the others.
Although Zui Mo and Ruoqing have passed the age of learning kung fu long ago, and their achievements in this life are limited, it is impossible to become a master like her or even Miss Liu Er, and they will not be able to enter the martial arts world with the guidance of a master. Slow, on the contrary, it put some pressure on Li Yi, who had always been tired.
Their skills have become stronger, and it will be difficult for him to revive his husband...
Ruoqing is fine, with Zui Mo's temperament, what will happen to her married life, who will go up and who will go down, who will take the initiative and who will be passive, it's really hard to say...
However, if you are a man, you can bend and stretch, you can go up and down, and you don't have to care about these...
Zuimo's wedding dress has been embroidered long ago, and now the one year period before the late emperor's death is about to pass, and at the beginning of next year, it's time to return the wedding owed to them.
Ruyi and Ruoqing walked over to a small stall on the side of the road, picked up a delicate hairpin, stuck it on Ruoqing's head, and said, "This hairpin is very suitable for my sister..."
Li Yi took a look, this hairpin was indeed exquisite, and judging from its style, it didn't look like it came from Jingguo. In Yongxian County now, businessmen from all over the world gather, and you can find a lot of good things at any small stall on the street.
Next to the two of them, another woman also picked up one, turned her head and said to a man in a government uniform: "My lord, this hairpin is pretty, I want this one..."
The official frowned and said, "Didn't I just buy one for you yesterday? Why do you want to..."
The woman grabbed his arm, shook it vigorously, and said angrily: "No, I want it, I want it, they just want it..."
"Okay, okay..."
The official hurriedly agreed, now that he hears her say "I want", his knees will be weak unconsciously, what spring night is worth a thousand dollars, it's all a lie, a good girl before marriage, why is it like this after marriage...
He habitually supported his waist, looked at the merchant and asked, "How do you sell this hairpin?"
"The guest officer has really good eyesight!" The businessman saw that he picked the hairpin, his eyes lit up, and said, "This is the hairpin that Empress Wende wore on her head when she committed suicide. It is a priceless treasure..."
"Who are you lying to, which queen committed suicide, and then you will be arrested for talking nonsense!" The official glared at him. If the county magistrate hadn't told them to treat these businessmen better, just based on the lies he fabricated just now, you would be arrested. Enough to make him shed a layer of skin.
"It's Empress Wende of Wu Kingdom!" The businessman hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, you can take a closer look, this style, this material, this is really a real royal thing, if it's not that this is Jingguo, I dare not sell it..."
The officer looked at him, shook his head and said, "Just tell me how much it is."
"One thousand taels!" The businessman from the Wu Kingdom looked at him and said, "You might as well tell the guest officer the truth, this hairpin is a relic of Empress Wende of the Wu Kingdom, and only here can I dare to sell it. One thousand taels, one thousand taels can't be sold anymore low!"
"let's go!"
The official took the woman's hand, turned around and left, he had to consider one thousand taels and one thousand wen, and one thousand taels would not be enough to sell him.
The woman also knew that this thing was not something they could afford, and after looking at it reluctantly, she could only leave with a sigh.
"Guest officer, don't go, don't go!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the businessman from Wu Kingdom immediately said: "How about another two taels, nine nine eight, nine hundred and ninety-eight taels... Hey, guest officer, another five taels One hundred taels, four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-eight are fine..."
"Wait."
Li Yi picked up the hairpin just now, looked at the businessman from Wu State, and asked, "You said it was a relic of Empress Wende of Wu State, do you have evidence?"
The businessman from Wu Kingdom was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect one to leave, and another came. The young man in front of him seemed to be much richer than the one just now, only from the clothes of the two female companions beside him. You can see it.
And the official who turned around and left just now stopped when he heard the words, and looked back at the man's back, wanting to see who it was, but he was so stupid that he wanted to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy such a fake …
