117 Seven Nations Jockey Club

After a blizzard, the advantages of the two slopes were seen. The thick snow could not be retained on the pointed slopes. Once it accumulates enough, it will slide to the ground in pieces. The load bearing of the beams and columns will not be crushed by the snow.

The land route has been cut off. The Giant Horse Water has not yet frozen. This golden waterway that runs almost throughout Ji Country, ships travel to and from ports in Ji Country to pick up and drop off travelers who have visited relatives and friends.

Today, the flags of Nangang are blocking the sun, and the gongs and drums are clamoring. King Ji holds a banquet in the palace to entertain the monarchs of the six kingdoms of Jizhou in the Six Kingdoms Hall.

Liu Zhi, the king of Zhongshan, Liu Yang, the king of Hejian, Liu Xu, Liu Xu, the king of Anping, Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, Liu Hao, the king of Changshan, and the new king of Zhao, Liu She, were all imitated by Ji Guo Jockey Club and formed a "Six-Nation Jockey Club". It is known as the Six-Nation Alliance. In other words, the so-called Six-Nation Alliance is actually just a horse racing organization.

"Meet, gather." "Joyage" means gathering together to race horses.

Month ago, the yellow scarf bee rose. The old king of Zhao, who fled to Ji, died of fear and fear. Before his death, he passed the throne of Prince She of Zhao. Now, Liu She is the new King of Zhao. However, like the lords of the five kings, all the people were lost and all the officials were destroyed. They were alone and alone. Although the Six Kingdoms Pavilion was magnificent, their lives were becoming increasingly difficult. In the past, they used to feed the people and spent money like flowing water. Now half of the people fled to Ji, and half were plundered by the Yellow Turbans. Without the support of the people, the kings of the Six Kingdoms were left with an empty title in Ji.

A few days ago, Liu Yu, the prime minister of Ganling, wrote a letter on behalf of the lord, mentioning that the people of Ganling "rented" in Ji, and asked King Ji Liu Bei, how to allocate the taxes paid by the people of Ganling. It was too difficult to do so.

Today, Liu Bei invited the kings of the six kingdoms, which was obviously related to this matter.

"The dragon boat and the pike are floating and blowing to entertain you."

The paintings of the six kings were arranged in Nangang. The Zuo Kingdom ordered Shiyi, the female teacher Zhao E, and two palace maids, led female cavalry and palace maids to welcome each other. Because it was a banquet for the Liu family, no officials were present.

Seeing the palace maids riding in the royal palace, they all had blond hair and blue eyes, and their skin was as beautiful as cream. They were full of heroism. All the women in the six countries were amazed. As expected, women were as good as men.

The six kings took their families and drove into the Ji Palace by car.

The king entered the main hall and drank with Liu Bei. When his family entered the side hall, he was greeted by the princess and princesses.

The six kings met with King Ji, and each was moved by their own feelings. The Ji Kingdom was strong and the horse was strong. The young King of Ji was young. There were rumors among the people that the Han Dynasty had been exhausted and the King of Han would be released and the Han Dynasty would be promoted again. Looking at the world, who can be called the King of Ying?

The Six Kingdoms may already have the answer.

"King Ji." The six kings lined up to salute.

"Why are all the kings?" Liu Bei replied with a solemn look.

"It's hard to say." The six of them sighed, and the one who spoke was the new King of Zhao Liu She.

"I have known all my heart." Liu Bei then welcomed the kings into the hall.

Because Liu She was still mourning, there was no music and dance.

The host and guest sat down. Even if the food was filled with delicious food in front of them, the six kings were worried and could not swallow it.

Liu Bei raised his glass to invite him, and the Six Kings reluctantly raised his glass and put it on his lips.

Seeing that the six people were unintentional to have a banquet, Liu Bei said: The Yellow Turbans were in chaos, and Jizhou was deeply harmed. All countries had refugees avoided the vulgar country. Hearing that the kings could not bring their money and goods with them. A few days ago, the Prime Minister of Ganling wrote a letter to ask about the taxes paid by the people of Ganling. Now I am the one who is still in charge of the kings, sincerely invites the kings to come and discuss with you."

"What King Ji said is very true. All the family assets of the orphans are in the private treasury of the royal palace, and now I don't know who has obtained it." Liu Hao, the king of Changshan, looked heartbroken.

"How similar is the experience of Gu and King Changshan!"

"I am the same!"

The six kings sighed one after another.

Liu Bei comforted, "Since this is the case, I have a way, let's talk about it and hear it with the kings."

"Please let King Ji make a clear statement." The six kings hurriedly got up and asked.

"There are roughly six taxes: rent, tuition, calculation, tax, household tax, and expenses. Now the war is in chaos, traffic is cut off, and it is time to use people, so taxes are not suitable for collection."

Seeing the six kings nodded one after another, Liu Bei said again: "Among the rent, tuition, tuition, household tax, and offering fees, the rent is owned by the country. The donation fees are also collected by the country. The kings can obtain the tuition, tuition, and household tax. I don't know what the kings think?"

The Six Kings were overjoyed: "King Ji said this seriously?"

"You don't have any jokes. How could you bear to yourself?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

The kings fed the country. The way of collecting taxes was different from that of Ji. Nowadays, the princes and kings of Han generally only enjoyed rent and taxes. Although the dictatorship, calculation of taxes, and re-tuitions were collected by their own country, they were not included in the private treasury of the palace, but were used to distribute salaries of officials and deal with national affairs. In other words, the distribution power of dictatorship, calculation of taxes, and re-tuitions was in the hands of the prime minister, not owned by the king.

Now that Liu Bei is pursuing the three tributes of the households and the kings, it is naturally a considerable fortune.

In fact, the increase tax is also a huge sum of money. The reason why the increase tax is hardly mentioned in Ji State is that the construction of various parts of Ji State is that equal work is paid, and more work is paid.

According to the Han Dynasty, all the strong men aged 22 to 56 must serve as the tax. The tax includes three types of labor and military service: "Gengzhu", "Zhengzhu", and "Guangzhu". The Qi people have to serve for one month of labor for the local area every year, called "Zhengzhu". If they do not want to go in person, they can pay 300 yuan of money and the government will hire someone to serve on their behalf. If they pay money to hire someone to serve, they are called "Gongzhu". The regular soldiers are formal military service, and the strong men aged 22 to 56 must serve for two years. In addition, each person must serve in the county for one month every year, called "Gongzhu" or "Zhengzhu". Similarly, if they do not serve, they can pay 2,000 yuan a month, called "Zhengzhu". Each person has to guard the border for three days a year, and if they do not serve, they can pay 300 yuan a year, and if they do not serve, they can pay 300 yuan a year.

Because Ji State requires a large number of manpower to build a city and pier. After deducting the annual "renewal fee" of 300 yuan and the "renewal fee" of 2,000 yuan per month, the strong men and healthy women in Ji State can earn thousands of yuan a month. Therefore, in Ji State, the remittance is no longer charged. They will deduct the salary of skilled workers from all over the country by themselves.

The people of the six countries "rentals" in Ji State should be treated the same as those of Ji State. If you work and make money, you will be deducted by yourself. If you rent fertile land in Ji State, you will be responsible for the construction site in Ji State.

The kings of the six kingdoms knew the national affairs of Ji and had no objection.

There were more than a dozen or even more than 200,000 people in all countries fled into Ji. Just talking, counting the three tuitions of households was enough to eat and drink.

The six kings were so grateful that they stood up and saluted: "I have been treated so well by King Ji, and I am grateful to you!"

Liu Bei looked at the kings and then smiled and said, "To facilitate the handling of civil affairs of various countries and resolve differences, I suggested that Zhongshan, Hejian, Anping, Ganling, Changshan, Zhao and our Ji countries form an offensive and defensive alliance to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I wonder what the kings meant?"

King Liu Zhi of Zhongshan, King Liu Yang of Hejian, King Liu Xu of Anping, King Liu Zhong of Ganling, King Liu Fu of Changshan, and the new King Liu She of Zhao were about to speak up, but suddenly stopped.

"King Ji, how can we princes and kings... form an alliance without authorization?" King Liu Yang of Hejian looked frightened.

Thinking back to Liu Ju, the king of Bohai who died in the country, the kings sweated heavily.

Could it be King Ji...

"How dare Gu cross the line with such a big taboo?" Liu Bei smiled and comforted: "What Gu said about offensive and defensive alliance refers to the Jockey Club!"

"Joyage?" The kings still came to their senses from the murderous intent behind their necks.

"Previously, did the kings form the Six-Nation Alliance and hang out on the Xilin Horse Racecourse?" Liu Bei was very kind to induce: "Why not combine the Six-Nation Alliance and Ji-Nation Jockey Club into one, and call it the "Seven-Nation Jockey Club"?"

"So that's it, so that's it!" The kings of the six kingdoms woke up one after another.
