The new financial supplementary measures discussed by Li Su and Liu Ba were quickly passed the court's collective discussion and were issued to various states as formal policy documents.

Considering that the distance is long, it is almost the end of October when it is implemented, and at least it can catch up with this year's autumn tax collection work.

On the other hand, the imperial examination papers and the release of the results went very smoothly. The results were officially announced on the tenth day of October, which won the court a group of young candidate officials with relatively honest character.

Among the officials admitted this year, Li Su also scanned the list and did not find any talented people in history, but there were quite a few who should have been known for their integrity and integrity.

It seems that it is not completely impossible to combine the imperial examination work with moral education. As long as the imperial examination is well run and not to understand the rules, it is still possible to persuade people to be kind.

The reason why the traditional system of filial piety and integrity collapsed is that the standard for moral examination is too single, and it is said on the surface that after too long, people have figured out the rules of show work.

Therefore, we can only publicly promote the principle of being the only one who is talented, and at the same time, we can occasionally examine morality in secret, so that we can occasionally be effective in combination with doing.

It was soon the end of October, and almost half of the officials in the court in Chang'an had moved to Luoyang successfully, and the various departments and government offices have also started to enter the normal office process again.

The last part that stayed in Chang'an was basically all ritual officials, such as those in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and those in the Taimiao sacrificial affairs, which had no practical purpose and did not affect the operation of the court.

The only one among the Nine Lords who still stayed in Chang'an was the old Liu Biao. Who made him the representative of the royal family? He had no real power. He retreated to the second line like Zhong Yao and had to be supervised by Zhong Yao, so he had nothing to complain about.

These people will basically have another month to settle in Luoyang before the end of November to ensure that they will not affect Liu Bei's suburbs in Luoyang on the first day of the first lunar month next year, and will be officially announced to return to Dongdu.

At the same time, as time entered the end of October, Li Su and Liu Ba's new fiscal policies were implemented successively.

After the court announced the annual cap on printing money, the subscription of wealthy private businessmen was indeed more active.

Especially the major wealthy merchant families who are already rich are also very supportive, especially Mi Zhu, who just brought Liaodong to formally surrender to the court this year, is even more eager to show that his loyalty to His Majesty is definitely not under the Zhen family and other families who have been in the Long period for more than ten years.

Therefore, among the newly added war bond subscribers this year, the biggest growth point comes from Liaodong.

Mi Zhu has also saved a lot of money in managing Liaodong in recent years. His family has subscribed to war bonds worth 3.5 billion yuan in one go. The remaining total sales this year have been reduced from 15 billion to 11.5 billion yuan.

Don’t underestimate this number, it’s actually quite subtle. Because the total amount of war bonds issued last year was 12 billion. If it is higher than 13.2 billion this year, it means that all those who bought last year’s bonds can exchange them for new ones as long as they want to exchange them, and the denomination will expand by 10%.

Of course, in fact, it is impossible for everyone to exchange it. Nearly 30% of the ones sold last year were actually used this year, and it is used to offset the purchase and franchise in the official monopoly industry.

But no matter what, Mi Zhu entered the market with all the money he had accumulated over the years, artificially creating a certain "scarcity". After the news spread and the demonstration effect appeared, he told the people in the liberated areas:

The people who have just become the restoration area have also trusted the court with a high trust! At most one or two years, after the Kanto region is completely revived, the Kanto people will also come to enjoy this interest that benefits the people and share the purchase of national debts!

Even after seeing Mi Zhu's large purchase, Liu Ba had a thought in his mind, thinking that he could add another fire and pretended to be part of the funds in the market.

"The people under Cao Cao took the initiative to transfer their money to Liu Bei's rule and then bought Liu Bei's war treasury bonds just because he was optimistic about Liu Bei and felt that transferring property to the Liu Bei's ruling area was more secure."

Of course, there is no need for Liu Ba to completely fake it, because after he had this idea, he went down to investigate and investigate and found that especially in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, there were really powerful and wealthy businessmen in the occupied areas secretly pretending to be the source of wealth and then crossed the border to Liu Bei to buy war bonds.

However, generally, the power of these powerful and wealthy merchant families is originally crossing counties and states. They will use their families to flee to Jingzhou’s side branches in advance, transfer their property to the names of these side branches, and then contribute capital.

As for the motivation for purchasing, there is no need to say much. I must think that Liu Bei will win the world, and I am afraid that the family wealth of the five states of Kanto will be destroyed by wars in the future. In order to preserve the value, they did not put the eggs in a basket, so they would switch to the areas that had been liberated.

Of course, Liu Ba should promote this example well, but he cannot reveal their specific identities. The reason for not exposing them is sufficient.

These families also have some side branches and even main sects, and they are still living in the ruling areas of Cao Cao. If their identities are exposed, they will be liquidated and killed by Cao Cao, and they are believed to be "co-entering the enemy" (co-entering Liu Bei)

Therefore, for the subscribers of the charity in the occupied areas, the Liu Bei court must strictly protect the identity of the subscriber and keep it absolutely confidential.

Liu Ba is only in charge of the Finance Department and does not have the power to enforce the law, so in some cases, when officials in charge leak secrets or those competitors of subscribers spy on them, Liu Ba cannot punish law enforcement.

In addition, the confidentiality clause is indeed a new emergency situation that only arises during the handling process. Since multiple ministries and commissions need to work together, they can only report to the Prime Minister for coordination.

After Li Su learned about this, he took the lead in coordinating and asked Liu Ba, Zhuge Jin and Fa Zheng to jointly enforce the law, and the Civil Affairs and Finance Criminal Law to strictly protect the identity of the subscribed righteous people in the occupied areas. Those who leaked their secrets could be executed at the highest!

Finally, at the end of October and early November, several new middle-level and grassroots tax officials who were not clean were killed.

The crimes include both taking advantage of private businessmen and evading taxes, as well as leaking the identity of subscribers in the occupied areas. They are generally committed both crimes.

In the past two or three years, the bureaucratic team of tax work in the court has expanded extremely rapidly. After the implementation of industrial and commercial taxation, Liu Ba's tax system has to be equipped with thousands of additional officials and tax collectors at the same level every year.

The Mingsuan Department of the Imperial Examination is even admitted every year. Once the examination is passed, it is actually given to officials. Such a team expansion speed is inevitable.

This time, it was also a heavy slogan in troubled times, and directly killed a small group of people as a warning. Those people were not good at saying anything.

In previous years, if I had just helped evade taxes and beheaded, some people would be dissatisfied and felt that the punishment was severe, because before the end of the Han Dynasty, there were indeed very few people who were greedy for money and killed directly. After all, the administration and finance had collapsed to this extent, and the freezing of three feet is not a day.

But this time, because leaks of secrets may have harmed someone else's lives and people who are far away dare not come back, the crime will be a big deal. The court made the criminal officials clear and explained the crime and harm clearly, which won the understanding of the rest of the dead.

To prevent them from tragic death of rabbits and foxes from being sad, everyone will not only have the effect of punishing past mistakes and curing diseases and saving lives, but also stabilizes the team's transition.

After such trouble, the wealthy businessmen in the private sector became more determined that "the four-year war bonds in Zhangwu will definitely not be enough to buy them, and they will be scrambled to buy them together by the rich people in Xinguangfu District and the occupied areas."

After all, after Mi Zhu's knife was finished, the remaining part was lower than last year's total. It was obvious that the hands were fast and the hands were slow. Why not grab them?

As for whom you ask besides Mi Zhu, who are robbing... Is this a promiscuous businessman? Who did not see anyone who wanted to inquire about the news and dared to leak the news were all justified as "Cao Cao's detailed work"!

After all, all tax officials who violated the law have killed so many of them, and those who colluded with them cannot die completely. Shouldn’t those who “spy the inside information of the market” and want to engage in “insider trading of bonds” affect decisions be killed?

From official to business, we have to convince the joint law enforcement of the three ministries.

Liu Ba once again accurately traded and recreated absolute scarcity. As a result, the "war national debt" of almost 15 billion yuan was completely sold out before the end of November again.

The court also kept its promise in time, saying that if it only sold 15 billion this year, it would be only sold 15 billion.

Liu Ba decisively stepped on the brakes and did not sell them at all. He also reported the data from the Ministry of Finance to the Prime Minister. After Li Suguo nodded, he made a statement to the world and announced the allocation of 15 billion to each state, and how much each state sold this year.

These data are true, so you are not afraid of private reconciliation. If wealthy businessmen suspect that the court’s accounts and general ledgers given to each state are yin and yang, they can take advantage of the opportunity of doing business to go to each state to see the local public data to see if there are any differences.

Finally, I found that all the data were true, so the credit of the court naturally became more and more stable. Everyone knows that the court really printed as much as it was, and that if it was not over-issued, it would not be over-issued.

...

Liu Ba sold out the quota of the quota and still publicly promoted it in this way to win the trust of the people, which had a far-reaching impact.

Not only is it easier for the states under Liu Bei to establish trust, but the key is that Cao Cao was not idle when he was eating. Cao Cao also sent a large number of meticulous works to penetrate the jurisdiction of Liu Bei's camp, and Cao Cao soon learned about Liu Bei's new measures and new gains.

Of course, Cao Cao was feeling like he was on the verge of needles and needles, and he knew very well how he was levied under his rule, and this matter could not be changed. After all, Cao Cao's productivity and technology were much behind Liu Bei, so he could only rely on the high tax rate of the military farm to maintain finances.

Otherwise, with only half of Liu Bei's population, how could Cao Cao maintain half of Liu Bei's combat troops while there was a generation gap in civil productivity technology?

Now I heard that Liu Bei has attracted a small group of wealthy businessmen in Kanto because they are worried about the impact of the war and started to switch to mobile betting on both sides. How could Cao Cao not be afraid?

However, Liu Bei also kept the subscribers confidential, and Cao Cao was not easy to identify for a while. If he was to clean up, he would be destined to hurt the innocent. Although he could also make money temporarily, the effect was obviously similar to Dong Zhuo's tyranny and could not last long.

I believe that in time, the only one who could be exploited by Cao Cao was able to stably exploit, because most merchants knew a little and had good knowledge.

If Cao Cao liquidated such a thing, or even went to unjust prison, he would rather be wrong than to indulge himself, it would only force the industrial and commercialists to Liu Bei's side.

In the end, Cao Cao will become a pure agricultural society, with only farmers left without literacy and not knowing the news from afar. They can be stably exploited and the industry and commerce will completely collapse.

But even if you know this result, does Cao Cao have a choice?
