Chapter 102 The sudden gift of grace

Daiyi is your own territory, so you need to master it in detail, and at least you need to grasp the situation in Daiyi city in detail.

A private visit for a private visit is a good idea. Walking on the street, Zhao Xing understood that he had been tricked by his wife and she wanted to go shopping. So, a private visit for a private visit that was originally very exciting became a very painful job.

When his wife was picking things in a small shop, Zhao Xing stood bored at the door and looked around.

Daiyi is not small, because it is located at the key points of the north and south. It is the node when merchants go south and climb mountains and go north to enter the desert. Therefore, it can be said to be a city-level city in the northern part of Zhao State. Although it has withered, the withered city is also a city.

Zhao Xing was standing on a main street. There were three main streets like this, and Daiyi had three vertical and horizontal lines, which was already amazing.

At this time, a team of camels came slowly. The person who was holding the camel was a Hu man, to be precise, Lou Fanren. There was a man tied up on the camel, and that was a slave.

Zhao Xing was interested and forgot his wife to follow the camel team, wanting to see where he went and what he did.

After turning around this street, I went up another one, and the camels stopped in a small square. The place where the camels were stationed was the city of Daiyi. Not only could they buy and sell slaves, but they could also buy and sell slaves, or hire people to help.

But now the country has withered, and the human resources market has no longer had its former prosperity.

Lou Fanren felt very disappointed when he saw few buyers. What he was disappointed was not the price, but the sales.

In this era, although business was broken by the monopoly of the state or aristocratic families since the Spring and Autumn Period, and merchants became professions and mainstream, prices were still controlled by the state. The purpose was to fear that merchants and the people would compete for profit and cause difficulties to the people.

Therefore, there is a system called Pingjia, which means that the state stipulates a price standard every month according to the situation. It can be fluctuated up and down, but it cannot exceed 10%. If this regulation is violated, the punishment will be very heavy.

Seeing the Hu man discussing these slaves with a few people, Zhao Xing listened next to him.

These slaves were looted by Loudi, who led troops to invade Yan and Zhongshan, and there were a lot of them, but Lou Fan did not dare to sell the captured slaves to Yan and Zhongshan. That was not to sell slaves to make a fortune, but to give them their heads. Therefore, their only channel was Dai County in Zhao. As a result, Dai County was in decline and had no real managers, so they couldn't buy much each time.

"Nine hundred yuan per person, one hundred yuan lower than Pingjia last month's price, how about it?" Hu Shang gritted his teeth and bleeded heavily, jumping off the building and selling it.

This is also a must, because Loufan has not recovered from the locust plague in the winter of the first winter. There are no extra cattle and sheep to support these slaves. It is the most urgent thing to sell three melons and two dates to exchange for the supplies that the king needs urgently.

As a result, those people still hesitated.

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up. Loufan has many slaves. Isn't this a good opportunity to quickly increase the population?

Well, be a good person yourself, help Loudi and continue to show kindness to him.

So Zhao Xing walked back to his wife's place, but his wife had already gone back.

Zhao Xing returned to the mansion with fear and went straight into the lobby. Tofu Xishi is a tiger, but she is a person who understands the truth. She will never enter Zhao Xing's lobby. Of course, it is inevitable to hide behind the screen and listen to Bijiao. After all, there is little entertainment in this era, and listening to Bijiao is also a novelty to pass the boring time. Tofu Xishi explained this at that time, and Zhao Xing accepted it so happily.

He called a waiter: "You go to the market, call the group of people, and then call the Hu Shang too."

The waiter took the order.

He also ordered a waiter: "Go and call Qi Fei and Dr. Zhou, I have something to say."

Qi Fei and Zhou Tong did not return to their homes. Because Dai County had new jobs and had a lot of things to do, they opened up an office yard next to the government office to work hard.

In a short while, the two of them came in and after showing their salute, they sat on the stool they should have been sitting on waiting for Zhao Xing to assign the task.

Zhao Xing did not talk about official business, but cared about the lives of officials at all levels earnestly.

"Our architecture has been built, and officials at all levels should be in place."

Zhou Tong, the envoy of the Ministry of Personnel, replied: "Officials at all levels and the yamen's subordinates have been configured, and the government can operate normally. Xu Jie, the Chief Secretary, has asked and approved this."

Zhao Xing then said, and asked: "Everyone is from the Central Plains, but is still used to it in life? How is the placement of the home? Are all slaves equipped? Everyone is a scholar, and they should have the decentness they should have. This is the identity."

Qi Fei and Zhou Tong were moved by such considerateness. So Qi Fei said, "We are all single to follow the Lord, so now we are here, and we are busy with government affairs, so we don't pay much attention to the affairs of our family and slaves. Let's talk about this later."

Zhou Tong was straightforward and said directly: "Everyone thought of decent and stable, but everyone came out alone. They couldn't get much support from the original family. They couldn't settle down. Everyone should live a tight life." The salary in this era is calculated based on the year, and the accounts are settled after the autumn. This is how it comes.

Zhao Xing showed pain: "This is all my fault. I only care about being arrogant, but I forgot the sufferings of my colleagues and subordinates. I have a responsibility."

Seeing that the Lord Xingjun was ashamed and painful for his subordinates' lives, even Zhou Tong was moved: "The Lord Xingjun does not have to blame himself too much. Everything starts hard. After this period of time, everyone will be at peace and subsidies from each company will arrive, and that will be fine."

Zhao Xing decided to say, "If I want to think about what my subordinates think, I will pay everyone's salary for three months first, so that everyone can afford to buy some servants and waiters to work with peace of mind."

As a result, when he said this, a little maid came in like a cat, lay in Zhao Xing's ear and muttered for a while, and then retreated like a cat.

Zhao Xing straightened his body and coughed: "Well, it is not advisable to eat the food of Mao in Yin. The salary will be paid at the end of the year. This is the rule, and the rules cannot be changed."

The face change is faster than the cat, which makes Zhou Tong and Qi Fei, who are just about to be happy, feel very depressed.

Zhao Xing smiled proudly: "So I decided that for the six chief ministers, each of them would first reward 10,000 yuan to purchase slaves and slaves, and decremented 1,000 yuan in turn according to the level."

This is a big deal. According to the current establishment level of the Xingjun Mansion of Zhaoxing, the lowest-level county-level officials can get three thousand coins.

In this era, a pound of gold was only ten thousand yuan, a hu of wheat was only three hundred yuan, and a meter of cloth was only eleven yuan, and the money was very valuable.

At that time, Qi Fei and Zhou Tong immediately stood up and bowed to the back of the screen: "Thank you for your kindness and reward."

Zhao Xing pointed at his nose: "My money and my decision, you should thank me as the master."

Qi Fei and Zhou Tong smiled at each other. The meaning was very obvious. The money belongs to you, but do you have the final say?

Behind the screen, Tofu Xishi smiled and said, "The money is from your master, please thank you." Then he said, "I will go back now and send the money to Doctor Qi's Ministry of Revenue according to the amount, and ask the doctor to pay as soon as possible." Then there was no sound again.

Zhou Tong sighed according to Zhao Xing: "You are a virtuous man. With such a virtuous and kind wife, why worry about the master's ambitions and his career will not prosper."
