Chapter 485: King Zhao

"What a picture of living and working in peace!"
Hubu Shangshu walked into the refugee resettlement area, and there was a strong atmosphere of life on the paved surface, children with blushing faces, clean streets, and regular patrols.
Isn't this the prosperous weather?
"Good good!"
Hubu Shangshu even said three good words, and his excitement was beyond words.
He no longer needs to visit the homes of the refugees. It can be seen from everyone's appearance that the people here are not necessarily prosperous, but they must be very satisfying and full of expectations for the future.
After walking around the streets and alleys, I saw that the door of a home was open, and an old man was putting shoe soles at the door.
Hubu Shangshu still couldn't help his curiosity, came to ask for it, and wanted to go in for a visit.
The old man's eyes were wary.
The master hurriedly said: "We want to buy a house, but the house next door has been sold out. Some people say that the houses on both sides are equally good, so I want to go in and take a look."
"Not comparable, not comparable. Our first-phase house is not comparable to their second-phase next door. Their houses, hundreds of two, are much more expensive than ours."
The old man got up and welcomed the Hubu Shangshu group into the courtyard.
"It's nothing to watch, every house is locked, and it's nothing to watch."
No, no, it's so worth seeing.
At first glance, Hubu Shangshu noticed the open kitchen with four earthen stoves side by side.
Behind the kitchen, there are even men's and women's bathrooms and men's and women's latrines.
Hubu Shangshu was very surprised and couldn't help asking: "Do all houses have these?"
"Of course." The old man squinted at Hubu Shangshu, his eyes seemingly disgusting. It seemed to be talking about a group of buns from outside, but they had no knowledge.
Hubu Shangshu's beard trembled, and Hubu Shangshu, who had never seen anything before, was despised by the refugees who had just eaten. Find someone to reason.
The old man said slowly: "This is not what it used to be, how can you urinate and urinate anywhere. This is something that young children know, you guys, you dress well and don't pay attention to basic hygiene."
Several entourage wanted to come forward to theory, but was stopped by Shangshu of the Ministry of Households.
Forget it, why bother with an old man.
"What the old man said is, it's not before, now life is better. It's almost the New Year, so I saved a lot before the New Year."
The old man suddenly became vigilant, "If you steal property here, you will be killed."
Hubu Shangshu's face trembled, and he repeatedly reminded himself not to care.
"We're leaving now."
The old man snorted and went to the gate of the courtyard, still staring at them.
"It is absurd to suspect that I am a thief."
The Hubu Shangshu laughed, "It's the old man Meng Lang. How can you ask people how much money they have saved without revealing their identity. If you change anyone, you have to doubt one or two."
"My lord, do you want to find another one?"
"No! Even an old person who can't do anything can wear thick cotton clothes, and his face is ruddy. It can be seen that these refugees have indeed been well placed. Compared with last year, it can be described as a radical change. Let's go, let's go to the market. Take a look at the city."
The market is the focus of today.
It took a lot of time to walk to the market.
The new bazaar was fully put into use, and the old bazaar spontaneously formed by the refugees has been demolished and turned into a construction site.
A large flat dam was leveled outside the market, which is called the old Huaishu flat dam. First, it is convenient for the refugees to gather, and second, it is convenient for the vendors to set up their stalls.
This will be less than the peak time for stalls, and Pingba is sparsely populated.
After passing through the old Huaishu Pingba, you will arrive at the Nanchengmen New Market, also known as the Old Sophorae.
Standing in the alleys of the market, the Household Department Shangshu was shocked by the flow of people grazing by the magic sword.
Where is the person in front of me, it is clearly white and silver. Countless amounts of silver passed by, and in the end they all drifted away, and they did not fall into the hands of the Tax Cao of the Household Department.
Hubu Shangshu panted, covering his heart, his heart hurts.
In such a large market, there is no tax to collect taxes and silver. It was a dereliction of duty, serious dereliction of duty.
He said in a painful tone: "My heart hurts very much."
It hurts very very much.
Master felt the same way and felt distressed.
Thinking they couldn't even send out their monthly salary, they turned a blind eye to such a large piece of gold.
Dereliction of duty!
Serious negligence!
"My lord calms down."
The Department of Households took a deep breath, "The county must be established as soon as possible, and it does not matter if the county is rebuilt next year. But the tax authorities must settle in as soon as possible, and strive to collect a wave of tax and silver before the new year."
Regardless of how much money can be collected, anyway, Hubu Shangshu must not let go of such a golden mountain and delay it until next year.
"As long as the county is set up, the Ministry of Households will send a tax collector to help the county government collect taxes. The tax collected can be divided between two and five and part of the county government."
"My lord is kind. The next official thought it would be great to be able to divide the account three to seven. The household has seven and the county government has three."
Hubu Shangshu nodded, "Find a document and see if you can do it like this."
"The new county is established at the foot of the capital, and the Ministry of Household has the responsibility to take charge of all the errands here." Master had already figured out the reason.
The Household Department is very satisfied, "That's right. The newly established county does not have the head of the Household Department, I am afraid that it will not be able to stand up. Since the Household Department has intervened, the tax and silver must go directly to the Household Department's treasury."
"My lord is wise."
Hubu Shangshu wandered in the market.
There are so many people, like a temple fair.
He asked: "Are there so many people on weekdays?"
The master nodded, "Yes. The food here is cheap, especially the meat and vegetable shops in the alleys. People in Beijing come here to buy meat and vegetables. I heard that many restaurants in Beijing have also begun to buy them in this meat and vegetable shop. "
"The old man remembers that when he passed the butcher shop, the butcher shop was closed."
The master obviously has done his homework a long time ago, "The adults are right. The meat and vegetables in the butcher shop sell extremely fast every day. If you don't come early, you will not be able to grab it.
Of the four gates today, the southern gate opens the earliest and fastest. Every morning, there are countless minions carrying vegetable baskets and driving cars, waiting in front of the city gate. Just because the city gate opens to get out of the city to snap up meat and vegetables. Even the guard at the gate of the city can't avoid being vulgar, and ask someone to help bring some meat and vegetables back every day. "
Hubu Shangshu curiously asked, "Ms. Zhao also opened the meat and vegetable shop?"
"It is the property of Sihai Commercial Bank under the name of Madam Zhao."
Hubu Shangshu sighed, thinking how Gu Jiu's brain was born, and he came up with so many business methods.
The master added: "It can be said that this market is driven by the meat and vegetable shops in the alleys. Please see the adults. Those housewives are all small people in the capital. After they have bought the meat and vegetables they need for a day, they have to go to other places. After a stroll in the shop, the market started.
Merchants from the north and the south poured in one after another, and even the business of the inn and restaurant opened here was soaring. "
Master pointed at a few capital housewives who came out of the cloth village and whispered.
Hubu Shangshu stared at the vegetable baskets in the hands of the housewives, and sure enough there were fresh meat and vegetables and dry food in them. A little daughter-in-law and eldest girl pulled a few feet of cloth, which is very precious and must be put away.
Hubu Shangshu nodded secretly, not bad.
When the group of them came to the furniture store, the white flowers flashed before Hubu Shangshu's eyes.
These are not people, they are all silver.
All are tax banks of the Ministry of Households.
Earlier, at the gate of the second phase, I met the small people in Beijing who were holding the keys to the new house. They were selecting finished furniture in the furniture store.
Seeing Hubu Shangshu and his party, the old man took the initiative to greet them.
After inquiring, Hubu Shangshu realized that the furniture inside was all made according to the size of the new house. For each size, there are at least five styles to choose from.
These furniture, in the eyes of Hubu Shangshu, are extremely poor and have no aesthetic feeling at all. The only desirable advantage is firmness.
Such furniture cannot be sold in the homes of wealthy and dignitaries, and it is suitable for the low-level citizens in Beijing.
"These furniture are so small," the entourage whispered.
Master said: "That's because the house is small, so small-sized furniture is just right."
The furniture is very cheap, and the cheapness is beyond Hube Shangshu's imagination.
He whispered to Master, "This store is also owned by Mrs. Zhao? The price is so low, can you make money?"
The master nodded, "There is money to be made. Because the furniture is made in batches, the cost of the furniture is extremely low. The official also heard that Mrs. Zhao met a timber merchant from the north.
The timber merchants, holding the "Royal Exclusive Supply" sign, will send a batch of timber to the Ministry of Industry every few months. By the way, they will send a large quantity of cheap timber to Madam Zhao’s Four Seas Commercial Bank, saving a lot of freight. "
The Hubu Shangshu is clear.
No wonder that in the same business, others cannot make money, only Gu Jiu can make money. There are so many tricks.
The group continued to wander around the market, and Mr. Hubu Shangshu also bought a pack of pine nuts to eat.
A second-hand ready-to-wear store, opened at the end of the market street, with a small facade and no decorations. But people come in and out here.
The people who entered were all thin, and when they came out, they wore thick cotton clothes, obviously old cotton clothes that had been washed and repaired.
"Huh? Could it be that the cotton clothing of this cotton clothing store was bought from the Ministry of War?"
"It seems to be." Master is also not sure.
Gu Jiu took an order for 20,000 sets of cotton clothing from the Ministry of War.
Hube Shangshu was curious and walked into the store.
The old cotton clothes are piled on a large wooden table, and you can choose whatever you want. You can take it away if you pay for it.
Hubu Shangshu picked up a cotton suit at will, which was quite thick.
The fabric on the surface is very old and there is a patch, but it is very clean and it smells of sunlight.
A small opening is left inside the lining to facilitate checking of the cotton wool inside.
The cotton wool is old cotton wool, and there is no fraud. However, the cotton wool has obviously undergone secondary processing, so it appears soft and thick.
"Can you sell this one? If you don't sell it, give it to me. I wear this one."
The tall men stared at the cotton clothes in the hands of Hubu Shangshu, very greedy.
Other cotton clothes are either lighter or shorter, so they are not suitable.
The Hubu Shangshu glanced at the big man, "Here you are."
The big man smiled, "Thanks!"
The big man took the cotton clothes and went to the counter to check out. He immediately put the cotton clothes on his body and ran out with a contented expression. In a blink of an eye, he entered the opposite restaurant and heard about the book.
Hubu Shangshu walked out of the cotton clothes shop and entered the teahouse opposite, asking for a second floor seat.
He stared at the cotton-padded clothes shop, and calculated in half an hour, there were no fewer than 100 people going in and out, and more than 20 people bought cotton-padded clothes and left.
He smiled, "A second-hand cotton clothing store can make so many famous halls."
The master said: "Mrs. Zhao always thinks of what others think. This second-hand cotton clothing store can be regarded as merit, so that those who can't afford new cotton clothing can also have cold cotton clothing in winter."
Hubu Shangshu nodded, "This is really for the sake of the people, so that you can come up with such a business. The old man looks at it, I'm afraid this cotton clothing store won't make much money."
"Small profits but quick turnover, small profits but quick turnover."
"Doing a petty business is exactly what it should be."
After spending most of the day, the situation of the whole market was basically figured out. The next step is to set up a county to collect taxes.
Hubu Shangshu got on the carriage and returned to the city, wanting to see your Majesty before the palace door was locked.
As a result, I was told, "Your Majesty is getting angry, you should come back tomorrow."
"Who annoyed your majesty? Could it be King Ning?"
"It is not King Ning, but King Zhao and King Yan."
"What? Is it possible that King Zhao Wangyan is in the palace at the moment?"
"Exactly! Your Majesty is seeing the two princes, I am afraid that he is angry. If you want to discuss political affairs, you should come back tomorrow morning."
"The officer knows."
Hubu Shangshu is full of questions.
The crimes of King Zhao and King Yan are conclusive and have been kept in Zongzheng Temple. Why did the emperor suddenly think of seeing these two?
Why not directly decree to win the title, and completely settle the case of Gongbian.
...
Xingqing Palace.
Tianzi's body is deteriorating, and he feels that time is running out.
Although unwilling, they can only accept reality.
Thinking that the two Nizi hadn't taken care of them yet, the emperor gave an order to Zhao, Wang and Yan.
The emperor sees King Zhao first.
"Do you know wrong?"
Zhao Wang's right arm was empty. He was cut off by Liu Zhao and wanted to find a short sight.
Although he survived, his heart was full of hatred.
He looked at the emperor on the bed, "What's wrong with Erchen? Erchen just did what all the brothers want to do, so what's wrong."
"Nizi!" The emperor scolded angrily.
Zhao Wang laughed, "The Yan Wang brother is right. In your eyes, we princes have always been inferior to pigs and dogs. You have never had a fatherly heart to us, and some are just hateful.
You are a dignified emperor, hate your son, and wish all your sons die. That being the case, you might have given us death from the beginning. As long as it has been dragged to the present, it is a hatred in everyone's heart. You are not worthy of being a father. "
Snapped!
The tea cup was smashed on Wang Zhao's forehead, the skin was torn, and the blood fell down with the tea.
Wang Zhao lowered his head and smiled gloomily, "You beat me, you beat me to death! Anyway, I have fallen to this point, and it's boring to live. If you beat me to death, I will die."
The empty right arm was shaking.
The emperor was dizzy before his eyes, "You have fallen to this point, and you are responsible for it."
"Haha... I take the blame? It's clear that you caused everything. You raised all our princes as gu worms and asked our brothers to kill each other. To this day, I am all thanks to you, a faint king!"
King Zhao was completely free from it, and poured out all the hatred that had been in his heart for many years.
"Shut up for me! You rebellious son who killed his father and killed the king and was rebellious and rebellious. You dare to accuse me. I shouldn't have given birth to you. I should drown you in the morning."
The emperor was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out of his orbit, and he was about to be to death by his son.
Zhao Wang hehe sneered, "It's not too late for you to die. I don't want to live anyway. The only thing I am unwilling to do is that I didn't kill you myself that day. The thing I am most dissatisfied with is that Liu Zhao should have been slashed at all times. You still have him. He chopped off my arm and he deserves to die."
"The person is you." The emperor pointed to King Zhao, how could he give birth to such a rebellious son, and he didn't repent until he died.
The emperor pointed to the porcelain bottle on the table, "This is the bottle of poison your mother and concubine ate. She is dead, and you are not far from death. I will give you all of your wife and children."
King Zhao glanced at the porcelain vase on the table, and he didn't care, "Just give it to death. I'm dead, and they suffer when they live, so why don't they all go down to accompany me."
"Sure enough, you are so vicious that you won't let your wife and children go."
King Zhao laughed mockingly, "My father was wrong. As early as when I decided to start the army, I was ready for the funeral of the whole family. Even though my father ordered them to die, I would not blink my brows. If my father is reluctant Give them to death, hehe, I will look down on you."
"You should have been cut by thousands of swords, you are not worthy of being a human at all. Beasts are better than you." The emperor scolded.
King Zhao's face sank, "I'm not as good as a beast, didn't the father know it? Why don't you talk nonsense, bring the poison, and I will drink it to you. If I am afraid of death, I am a beast."
The emperor was so angry that his heart aches, "You, you, you..."
When Wang Zhao said that he was a beast, he scolded the emperor in.
The emperor pointed to King Zhao, "Decree to win the nobility, be demoted to a commoner, and give the crane crown red. I want to watch him die!"
