Chapter 609: Capturing the general alive and saying a smile
The news about Xiao Bei's arrival soon reached Li Longji's ears.
Zhang Xiaobao just put the letter aside, and Li Longji came in and snatched the letter and saw it from beginning to end.
"I asked her about the tax exemption. She didn't say anything about it? The businessman actually gave her three grams of gold less. This businessman has a bad moral character."
Li Longji was very disappointed. He thought Bei was replying to the news and specifically talking about what he was asking for, but Bei was here to ask for advice. He shook his head and commented.
"How could he take three grams of gold? He was the one who asked to make bracelets. He used chemical potions to 'eat' a layer of gold in the bracelet. He was considered a talent, but he didn't use the real place. What's the use of cheating three grams of gold? If he was the one, he would just find the Ministry of Works to get a job."
Zhang Xiaobao would not conclude that there was a problem with the merchants who made jewelry, because it is now the Tang Dynasty, and merchants cannot do so if they have money, they will have a low status.
Wang Juan thought the same way. If the merchants of the Tang Dynasty really had status, they would not be so obedient. If they asked them to provide money for the Chaoyang Action, they would provide money for them to use money to build roads, and they would pay for it.
They simply want to get recognition and use their money to exchange for inner enjoyment, which is also a kind of business.
Thinking of this, Wang Juan nodded and agreed: "That's right, I'm very disgusted with others' fraud, especially when I'm still clever. As the economy of our Tang Dynasty becomes better and better, various contradictions and problems will arise, so we have to start from the root."
After hearing this, Li Longji thought about it and thought that this was indeed the case. The merchant who made jewelry stole three grams of gold and would he still do business in the future? If someone sent it to the government, the people inside would not treat him well.
"According to this point, it was the person who had a problem. Be arrested and punished severely." Li Longji was about to order.
Zhang Xiaobao quickly stopped him: "Don't, it's not going to be severely punished. It's necessary to arrest him. On the surface, others should also know that he was serious about the crime he committed. However, after being arrested, he would send him to the Ministry of Works and put him in prison. This would be a pity."
"Xiaobao, I don't agree. I know that if you want talent, however, if every talented person makes a mistake, the final result will not be severe punishment. More people will make mistakes. What is this called? Oh, yes, it means that the cost of crime is too low."
Li Longji put forward an objection.
"I know, but what can you do if you arrest him and throw him into prison? His skills are not useful. It's better to let him continue to do things, but limit his personal freedom."
Zhang Xiaobao thought of what he looked like in prison. At that time, he and Juanjuan had wages when they worked in prison. They would give you as much money as you do, and then buy daily necessities in prison.
The price is very expensive. If you have more money, you can get it to come in to you. If you don’t work, you can live a comfortable life in prison.
But if you don’t give you freedom, you will easily encounter fights and get hurt by mistake.
The purpose is to give you a way to use the skills you have learned, otherwise it will be of no benefit to society if you are kept in prison.
Zhang Xiaobao spoke to Li Longji selectively about this matter. After hearing this, Li Longji nodded and said, "It's true. Putting a carpenter in and then letting him do the work of carrying things will have no positive effect on my overall Tang Dynasty.
I am worried again that they are as comfortable as they have lived inside and outside. Will they continue to commit crimes after they come out? They are caught feeling comfortable in and not caught, wouldn’t they make a profit?”
"Yes, there will be some such people, who are caught lightly sentenced for the first time, and are aggravated for the second time, and then vigorously publicize moral matters and don't always publicize the economy.
It makes people feel that it is a shame to be inside, not that I have been in, and I am amazing when I come out, so don’t give the criminals the soil like this.”
Zhang Xiaobao explained again.
Wang Juan gave Zhang Xiaobao a blank look next to him, saying that you still have the face to say, "You always go in and you can always buy new identity certificates, official ones."
Zhang Xiaobao glanced back and said, "What does it have to do with me?" I am just a user of everyone's responsibility.
Li Longji looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's eyebrows and coughed, and said, "Why do you want to find a place to try it first? It's in your Sanshui County?"
"My cell in Sanshui County is empty. Can anyone dare to stay in Sanshui County?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, Sanshui County is not good, it's too special." Li Longji remembered that Sanshui County was the best county in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one, even Luzhou was not as good as Luzhou.
The people of Sanshui County work very hard, of course they have high incomes and good benefits. The neighbors are all as proud as people in Sanshui County, and their relationships are also very good.
People who buy and sell at the market will not have bargaining quarrels, because the things sold are not good, so the people who buy things do not need to choose them, and the people who sell themselves will deal with them.
Everyone in the entire county jointly maintains the temperament and status that belongs to Sanshui County.
"There is the real paradise. When will my Tang Dynasty be like Sanshui County?" Li Longji thought of it and murmured.
Zhang Xiaobao sighed: "Hey~! It's impossible. The smaller the place, the easier it is to manage. Datong, that's a dream. Sanshui actually has competition, but it's just on the surface, and he dare not do anything bad behind the scenes because they are afraid of Juanjuan and me."
"But it can make the people of my Tang Dynasty do better than it is now." Wang Juan said: "As long as my Tang Dynasty has always maintained an absolute dominance, the people will maintain this superiority by themselves.
For example, when a commoner from my Tang Dynasty arrived at the *** and was slapped there, my Tang Dynasty fleet directly pressed over, and let the *** give us a satisfactory explanation and handling opinions.
Then this people will definitely be willing to safeguard the interests of the Tang Dynasty, so as to obey the official teachings of the Tang Dynasty and do things well, because he knows where his dignity outside comes from."
"Yes, Juanjuan said it well." Chide Zuzan appeared at the door and said calmly: "In the past, Nunu was not very high in my place. Sometimes I couldn't take care of him and would be excluded. Even if I knew, I could not deal with all the people who bullied Nunu. I also had my difficulties.
Later... you fought. In the palace, I didn’t have to deliberately protect Nunu, and no one dared to treat her. Now she has a higher status, just because she is afraid of bullying her, so you bring your soldiers there."
Chide Zuzan listened outside for a while, and the more he listened, the more he felt more and more moved. He listened to what the emperor and his ministers said, and they were all trying hard to find solutions for the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Jincheng looked at Chide Zuzan very gently and snuggled over. The reason why her man could say such words means that she would no longer think about creating a Tubo royal family again.
There will be no war in the future, and the people will live a better life, and they will live a better life.
At the same time, she also understood why Xiaobao and Juanjuan had such a high status in the Tang Dynasty, not only because one could fight and the other could handle economic matters.
They can also use casual chat with the emperor at any time to come up with ideas that are good for the Tang Dynasty. There was no such person in Tubo in the past.
Seeing that many people came in, Li Longji stopped talking about such things: "Then let's try it in Wannian County, and then promote it after trying it. Xiaobao and Juanjuan, you two will continue to command the battle. I will tell them about the future development of Tubo."
After speaking, Li Longji took the others out and talked to Chide Zuzan about Tubo, mainly to talk about issues in medicinal herb cultivation. Tubo has special medicinal herbs under the special geographical environment and climate.
"Chide Zuzan, come, sit down and talk. You are in charge of Tubo. There is still a lack of things. I will send them here. No problem. They are all people of the Tang Dynasty. The conditions are relatively worse than those on the other side, and their life is also not as good as here.
However, you can't always think about sending supplies here for free, and producing them, such as the various medicinal materials you have, encourage your people to grow, raise more cattle and sheep, and sell them back, and what you need, you can buy them with money, which is better than managing people directly, right?"
Li Longji signaled Chide Zuzan to sit down and said less.
Chide Zuzan really didn't consider this issue. He just thought about how to raise chickens. Zhang Xiaobao's initial strategy was to raise chickens, but now he won't fight anymore. When chickens are raised, it is not a disaster, but a benefit. Barley is not as delicious as rice, and it is not as good as white flour.
So poultry breeding is being vigorously developed. Now, after hearing what Li Longji said, it seems that he should adjust his thinking and is a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I am raising chickens now. If it is changed, how should people with chickens do it at home?" asked Chide Zuzan.
In the past, Li Longji really couldn't think of any good idea, but now he has been studying for a long time, so he told Chide Zuzan without thinking too much.
"If you have already raised it, let them continue to raise it, but don't raise chickens that lay eggs. Keep it in check, if you let Tubo raise chickens, if it really develops, the chicken raisers will lose money.
If you do this, isn’t it cold? You use snow and ice to make a few more ice cellars, and then your own government office will charge a portion of the price of chickens at a lower price than the current price of chickens. Don’t let the chicken raisers lose money.
It is stipulated that which part is raised and which part is not allowed. If the chicken is short, you can take out the frozen meat to calm the price and make a little profit."
Chide Zuzan's eyes lit up when he heard this. When he looked at Li Longji, he was very surprised: "Your Majesty, you are too tired in your daily life. You have to think about such a small matter?"
"What are you tired? I'm idle all day now. Do you think of this kind of thing? How simple. I think the most tiring thing is to guess the idea that Xiaobao, Juanjuan and their younger brothers and sisters came up with. That's hard. I haven't guessed yet why I'm exempt from personal income tax and can still make a big profit after half of the profit."
Li Longji said showing off.
Chide Zuzan nodded repeatedly. He felt that he was really stupid and shouldn't have asked such a question at all.
*******
When others feel very idle, some people dare not relax at all.
As night fell, Yang Qiang, the commander of the First Brigade of the Forward, looked at the 535 highland model on the sand table and said to his subordinates: "We still have to fight. If we don't eat this highland, we will be considered a failure, right?"
"I have to fight, but my group has only about 600 people left. We don't know how many people there are on the other side's mountain. My 600 people can't catch them for a long time, and the referee team judged that morale was low."
Kong Lu was worried that his group would rush up and spoke to remind him of the difficulties he was facing.
"Then let the Second Regiment go." Yang Qiang looked at the commander of the Second Regiment, whose name was Li Gong.
Li Gong nodded firmly: "Ensure that the task is completed. Even if my team fights to the last person, I will rush up to the 535th Highlands in person."
"Okay, pass me the order, the artillery battalion attack, and the Second Regiment followed up." Yang Qiang had no other way, so he could only use this tactic to cooperate.
Shi Chun had no rest at all. He knew that the enemy would definitely attack at night. One of his battalions did not plan to go back alive. If all the opponent's shells could be consumed, then the rest of his regiment would be able to fight.
When the messenger reported that the enemy's artillery fire was covered, Shi Chun stood in front of the sand table without giving any orders. He just watched that all the orders he should have been given were finished.
The only thing you can do is wait and wait for the referee team to give the due judgment.
Li Gong returned to his room: "The second regiment attacks, press the entire line, don't wait for the enemy to appear, and shoot while advancing, and take it down with one move."
"Report~! Our attacking troops were blocked and encountered fierce enemy gun attacks. The referee team determined that the death toll was more than 60."
After Li Gong gave the order, not long after, the messenger ran in to report.
"Ah?" Li Gong was stunned for a moment: "Our army was attacked by guns? Guns? They are natives. I know the commander is not, but in terms of rules, why do they have guns?"
"Mr. Li, I can't tell you this. You can continue to command or hand over the command power, and then go to the central sand table to see." The messenger repeated what he always said.
"If you don't look, attack, attack me. After the fight comes, I will naturally know what's going on." Li Gong said angrily.
As a result, he knew what was going on without fighting. The opponent's first front had already retreated when they arrived at the fast attack, and they occupied the trench.
So the news came back.
"Reported that our army has occupied the opponent's first line of defense and found that they had fixed the pipe in front of the gun. They learned how we fired and loaded the bullets. They fired one shot, but did not aim at it. However, because our army was pressing on the entire line, there were many people, so they suffered a lot of losses. The referee team ruled that our team had reduced 170 people."
After hearing this, Li Gong nodded: "I understand that their guns are the guns of our first regiment. It is easy to learn to shoot, but the difficult thing is aiming, so they fixed them and did not aiming.
In other words, when we attack, we will not be hit if we dodge that line. It was my order from the entire line that hurt my brother."
"Yes." The messenger replied.
"Good skills, even such loopholes can be exploited. If he led the natives, but their family's nursery team, would he have eaten all my regiment now?"
After Li Gong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something: "Our army's artillery fire is useless? From the beginning to now, three rounds have been launched. Why do they still have fortifications?"
The messenger ran out and hurried back later.
"Report is useful. Every time our army's artillery fire can cause great damage to the opponent's fortifications, but they have never stopped building. We knocked down the above, and they still have somewhere to hide below."
