Chapter 951: The Mayor
Xu Qing has always been a warm-hearted person. He really couldn't bear to see his neighbors being harassed by bandits. He was very sad.
Although the collusion between officials and bandits in several neighboring states will not be as serious as Weizhou, so that even the governor Sima was forced to fall, but many officials such as county magistrates and county lieutenants at the lower level still have collusion with bandits, and most of the money robbed by bandits is also It fell into their hands, and the money was turned into a stepping stone for the county magistrate and county lieutenant to be sent upwards.
The capture of these county magistrates and county lieutenants will inevitably make them confess and confess the corrupt people in the court.
No matter how bad it is, if it is possible to make a governor, if it can be done better, then maybe a few ministers in the Golden Palace will have to be replaced.
In this way, a perfect industrial chain was born.
Suppressing bandits is not the goal, but punishing corrupt officials is the goal.
Now that Chu's foreign troubles no longer exist, it can only solve the internal troubles.
Xu Qing's suppression of bandits is a very good way to solve internal worries.
The first thing to send to the surrounding area is a false signal, we are here to suppress bandits, we are not here to be censors to arrest corrupt officials, so you don’t have to be on guard against us, but if we find any officials colluding with bandits during the process of suppressing bandits That's embarrassing.
This is a blatant conspiracy.
If you don't let us go there to suppress the bandits, then you must have ghosts in your heart!
We must destroy this bandit!
As for the evidence found...
Lord Governor, Lord Sima, Lord Magistrate, you don’t want these documents to fall into His Majesty’s hands, do you?
Then you should manage the jurisdiction well, treat the people well, and donate some money to Weizhou by the way, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do.
Officials all over the place trembled with Xu Qing's operation.
However, Xu Qing didn't go too far, he just symbolically suppressed the bandits in the three nearby states, and accepted the well-intentioned donations from these officials by the way, and didn't go too far.
Xu Qing still understands the truth of going too far.
This fundraising is not the purpose. The purpose is to sound a wake-up call in the hearts of corrupt officials in various states. Don't go too far, otherwise we don't mind going to your jurisdiction to suppress a bandit.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Sometimes deterrence is more effective than killing them all.
After Weizhou had accumulated huge assets again, the palace and mansion could finally continue to be built.
The money confiscated by the three prefectures is barely worth as much as one prefecture in Weizhou. The corrupt officials in this class are really weak.
Of course, Xu Qing's operation will inevitably make Li Xun copy homework, but after all, we are a family anyway, so copying is just copying.
And the most satisfying thing about the restart of the palace is that the Supreme Emperor has a place to live.
Now that the negotiation is over, the cement has finally been bought. Not only cement, but also soap, toilet water, soft paper and rice paper, which have unconsciously become the necessities of life for most people, have also been negotiated with Zhou Guo. The price has already been transported to Zhou Guoyun by car by car.
These things that only the state of Chu can make are huge profits, and they are all monopolized by the state of Chu. Although Xu Qing gave Zhou a great deal of preferential treatment for Li Mingyue's sake, Xu Qing still has a lot to gain. earn.
And Li Xun naturally knows how profitable the things produced by the Chu State Business School are, these days he has been ordering the skilled craftsmen of the Zhou State court to study and imitate them non-stop.
They are already able to make things like toilet water, white sugar, and white rabbits. Although the quality is still quite different from that of the National Chamber of Commerce, they have finally taken the most difficult step.
However, soft paper, rice paper, soap, and bamboo Ye Qing are considered high-end products in this era, and they are completely puzzled!
To say that the most pitiful thing is soap, but the others are okay. Although they can't make them, the research direction is not bad, and they know that they have found the right raw materials.
Soap is something Zhou Guoren researched from the beginning.
They can only find acacia and plant ash to research and imitate things that can strongly repel oil stains, but who would have thought that this thing is actually made of fat?
It's just off the charts!
It was miserable for the artisans of the Zhou Kingdom to be deceived.
After these prices have been negotiated, the next step is the issue of tariffs.
If you want to attract merchants, it is necessary to reduce tariffs, right?
Otherwise, the old business roads are well established, so why take your new road full of uncertainties?
This question was discussed with Xu Qing personally by Li Xun, who came here and seldom showed up.
After all, Li Mingyue still knows very little about the major issues related to the trade and commerce between the two countries.
Seeing that Zhou Guo sent the emperor Xiao Ye directly, he was naturally not to be outdone, and directly sat over to give Xu Qing a boost.
Unfortunately, today the Supreme Emperor, Xian Wang, and Ming Wang, who had nothing to do, came to find Su Jiyuan to fight the landlord, and they happened to run into each other.
As a result, two more people were added to Xu Qing's camp.
Now the representatives of the state of Chu have an absolute advantage of four, the representatives of the state of Zhou have two persons, and occupy the second advantage.
Ask Xu Qing to explain that Wang is really persistent, even being abused by Zhao Guo like this, he still doesn't forget to always stand in line with his own country.
It was really Zhao Guo who abused me thousands of times, and I treated Zhao Guo like my first love.
However, considering that sooner or later Weizhou will have to trade with Zhao to earn more money, anyway, no matter what questions Chu asks, Zhao will definitely agree.
What a pity.
The emperor of Zhao State has now made Zhao State weak, and King Ming, who is in exile in Chu State, is still speaking out for the best interests of his own country.
Originally, this last negotiation represented the final chapter of the negotiations between Chu State and Zhou State, but now it has been abruptly turned into the Central Plains Three Kingdoms Summit.
It's really something that no one would have thought of.
After intense negotiations among the three parties, the plan was finally determined.
That is to build a prosperous city at the border of the three countries. Yes, it is not to build a city, but to build a square city for trade, or a super big square city.
If there is such a prosperous and huge city that occupies the territories of the three countries, not only can the customs duties be greatly reduced, but it will also be more convenient for caravans from the three countries and even from all over the world to exchange materials.
In the future, this city will also become the most prosperous trade center among the three countries. Such a city must have a huge effect on the prosperity of the trade among the three countries.
Of course, the biggest role of this city that runs through the three countries is of course not only trade, but also a link to deal with the relationship between the three countries in the Central Plains.
In case there is any conflict, let's not fight, let's sit down and talk first.
The talks lasted for an hour and a half.
In this way, the summit that was put together impromptuly solved the major issues between the three countries in a daze.
And this prosperous city naturally needs a fair and just manager. Xu Qing, a person who has been entangled with Chu, Zhou, and Zhao, was honorably elected as the first mayor...
