Chapter 804 Simultaneous Implementation
Although it is the cold winter month, the Qinghe Theater is extremely lively.
After the court meeting today ended, after receiving the emperor's authorization to issue the new business laws to the world, Chen Xu invited civil and military officials and merchants and celebrities to gather in Qinghe Garden and set up dozens of wine tables in the closed Qinghe Theater to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, three nobles, officials of the fourth rank and above of the three provinces, six ministries, and many civil and military marquis were all invited.
Feng Quji and Meng Yi came enthusiastically at the invitation, but Li Si refused because of his physical discomfort. Some other officials and disciples who only followed Li Si did not dare to postpone it, and they all arrived as promised.
This is reasonable. If anyone in front of him or Chen Xu himself would definitely not have attended this face-slapping banquet. Moreover, the conflict between the two has long been known to everyone in the world. There is no need to be slapped just now, and then put the face up and slapped it again.
"Everyone, the Japanese Hou is here to invite everyone here to celebrate the successful construction of the Oriental Road. Thank you to all the business colleagues who participated in the fundraising construction of the Oriental Road and colleagues at all levels who supported the construction of the Oriental Road. The successful construction of the Oriental Road marks that our Great Qin will become more prosperous. Come on, drink a cup and congratulate the completion of the project. Please~"
At the wine table, Chen Xu raised the glass in his hand with a generous expression. The red wine radiated crystal brightly in the light column illuminated by the glass tiles.
"Qinghe Hou Please~" Hundreds of people in the theater stood up almost at the same time to raise their glasses.
The maid who served everyone back and forth like a bunch of flowers filled everyone with wine again.
"There is another thing today, that is, the Secretariat and His Majesty finally passed the new business law law that was presided over by this marquis. This marquis has fully realized his promise to his business colleagues. Dongfangdao has worked together to raise huge funds to build it successfully. In the future, new business laws are implemented, and merchants and civilians will be able to do business freely and legally. This is a grand event that our business community has never seen in the business world. From today on, I hope that all business colleagues will abide by the laws and regulations, uphold benevolence, ethics, abide by commercial laws, carry forward business, and continue to work hard to promote the prosperity and strength of the marquis. Please ~"
"Please, Marquis~" The entire theater burst out again with neat roars.
It doesn't matter whether civil and military officials or ministers are concerned. The implementation of the new business law does not have a deep feeling for them. However, Fan Yang, Shui Hong and other business representatives who were invited were trembling with excitement, and many people even had tears flowing down their eyes.
What they care about is not the reduction of taxes, but the provisions on commercial behavior in the Industrial and Commercial Registration Administration Law. From then on, officials from the court and counties in various places can no longer interfere in the business operations of merchants or arbitrarily increase the tax rate and forcefully collect the income of merchants. This is an act to improve the status of merchants. At this point, merchants no longer have to worry about arbitrary punishment and oppression from courts and officials.
After Chen Xu's two events were announced, the atmosphere in Qinghe Theater became warm in an instant. Countless merchant representatives who participated in the construction of the Oriental Road came to toast Chen Xu and several powerful princes and ministers. This was an extremely rare opportunity. The most important thing was to express gratitude to Chen Xu.
Although it was cold and cold, there were many basins of charcoal fires in the closed greenhouse, drinking and eating meat, and drinking and drinking, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Many officials began to discuss the work arrangements after the implementation of the new law, and all merchants began to discuss many matters such as industrial and commercial registration after the implementation of the new law. Some people even asked Chen Xu at the dinner table, and Chen Xu also answered these questions very seriously.
Soon an hour passed, and everyone didn't eat much of the table. Most of them were listening to Chen Xu's explanation of the new laws. As the banquet was about to end, Chen Xu pointed at the Shaofu Order Zhao Wei and said, "Everyone, there is still a news for the Zhaofu Order today!"
Zhao Wei didn't dare to be arrogant, cleared his throat and stood up and bowed his hands around and said, "After more than a year of planning and preparation, the new currency bill will be launched simultaneously with the new business laws compiled by Qinghe Hou. From the New Year's Day, counties across the country will officially start to issue new coins on a large scale, and the trading status of grain and cloth as currency will be gradually abolished. Many of you are famous business leaders across the country. Promoting new coins is also closely related to your personal interests. I hope you can help you vigorously promote new coins and vigorously promote the trading habit of coins replacing grain and cloth. At the same time, you will also help replace various old coins from the people. All old coins can be rewarded by depositing them into the Huaxia Money House. I would like to ask you here!"
"Don't worry, Shaofu Ling, what I like most is coin trading, and I will definitely spare no effort to promote the issuance of new coins!"
"Yes, coins and tickets are convenient and fast, and I have been useless for food and cloth!"
"We have no choice but to replace coins, so don't worry about the Shaofu Order!"
Many merchants stood up to express their opinions.
Vigorously developing commerce and unifying currency is the most important step.
Originally, following the steps of monetary reform, the new coins were minted from June, and it has been gradually implemented through the Huaxia Money House since June. However, because the speed of coins being minted cannot keep up, the issuance scope is relatively small and slow. It is mainly concentrated in wealthy and prosperous cities in the Central Plains such as Xianyang, Luoyang, Daliang, Xinzheng, Linzi, Handan, Wancheng, etc. With the construction of the Dongfang Road, the wages of the civilians, servants and prisoners who participated in the construction of roads have also begun to be issued in new coins. Now, with the continuous investment of dozens of linked coin machines, the speed of coins being minted is increasing day by day. At present, the total value of the minted currency has exceeded 100 million. A large number of new coins have been transported to various counties through the Huaxia Money House. Almost all counties and counties have begun to be implemented except for places that are difficult to access in Bashu and Shu. Even in Bashu and other places, formal currency has begun to appear with the continuous exchanges of merchants and travelers.
With the promulgation of the new business laws, the development of business will flourish quickly, and unifying the currency is a natural thing.
Therefore, after Zhao Wei informed the emperor of permission, the currency bill will be issued simultaneously.
In fact, as early as Li Si's review of the new business law and handed it over to the emperor, Chen Xu had already asked the printing factory to start printing and binding the new business law day and night, and the new coin bill was also printed together. Now, tens of thousands of sets of warehouses in the printing factory have been piled up.
Starting from today, these bills will be sent to counties and counties across the country at the fastest speed through postmen and the emperor's decrees. At least, the main offices and government offices of counties can see these new laws as soon as possible, so as to cooperate with the simultaneous implementation of commercial reform.
And these things have nothing to do with Chen Xu anymore.
Because the implementation of laws is the matter of the three provinces and six ministries, he is only responsible for formulating them.
Therefore, today, Chen Xu has achieved all his goals in promoting commercial and legal reform. Since then, the Supervisory Province has continuously urged counties and counties to implement them in accordance with the new laws to ensure that the business develops and advances in a healthy and orderly manner in accordance with Chen Xu's ideas.
But tens of thousands of bills are definitely not enough, because there are still a large number of merchants who need to understand these new laws and what laws need to be followed in business operations. Therefore, at Chen Xu's request, newspapers are stepping up printing of the new business law special issue, and publishing and distributing them through newspapers. These important parts are mainly the steps of industrial and commercial registration, tax registration management and other laws that merchants urgently need to understand. As for other parts, each issue of the Daqin Metropolis Daily will have a special legal column to publish and explain.
"Huh~ I've finally finished it!" Shen Shimo, Chen Xu was drunk and farewell to the officials and merchants who came to have a banquet. Under the escort of a group of guards, he left Qingheyuan in a carriage and returned to Qinghe Marquis' Mansion.
Because it was cold winter, the sky was already very dark at this time. The fierce cold wind was mixed with fine snow particles, which made the body and face hurt.
Wearing a beautiful long skirt and wearing a mink cloak, Fan Caiying and two close-fitting maids had been waiting at the gate of the Marquis' mansion for a long time. A layer of snow had fallen on her body, but she was still standing on tiptoe.
"The Marquis is back~" Listening to the sound of horse hooves coming from the corner of the street and the scolding of the groom, a maid shouted excitedly.
Soon as the sound of horse hooves got closer, the carriage turned around and drove to the gate of the Hou Mansion.
"Caiying welcomes the Marquis!"
"I welcome the marquis!"
Fan Caiying and two maids quickly greeted Lai Fuzhen and saluted each other.
"It's cold and cold, why wait so hard? Go in and cook the fire to keep warm!" Chen Xu asked the carriage to stop, quickly got out and walked towards the backyard of the Hou Mansion with Fan Caiying's cold hands.
"The Marquis is working hard every day, so I can't share the worry for the Marquis. I feel uneasy. Besides, in the rain and snow, I am afraid that the Marquis will hurt his body when drunk..."
Fan Caiying hugged Chen Xu's arm, her chest tightly pressed against Chen Xu's arm. Although she was separated by her thick clothes, she could still feel the gentle and fullness of two balls of Chen Xu's staggering gait. She rose from her body with a hot twitching body.
It was so cold and so comfortable today. Chen Xu's mentality was extremely relaxed. After several months of hard work, he could finally relax completely.
With the support of Fan Caiying and two close maids, Chen Xu staggered forward, but one hand reached into Fan Caiying's cloak and landed on her pretty plump buttocks and gently kneaded them.
Fan Caiying instantly showed red clouds, knowing that the Marquis was distracted at this time, so he quickly returned to the room and ordered the maid to prepare a hot tub to serve Chen Xu to wash and change clothes.
The fire in the room was red, the kang had already been hot, and the room was as warm as spring.
Under the service of Fan Caiying and two close-fitting maids, the three women quickly peeled Chen Xu into a little Aries and washed them, and then helped them into a huge bathtub. Fan Caiying and the two maids took off their close-fitting underwear and went into the bathtub to help him clean his body. Looking at the three women who were soaked in clothes, Chen Xu's drunkenness almost disappeared instantly, and he could no longer contain the swelling desire in his heart. He hugged Fan Caiying in his arms and buried his head between her plump snow peaks.
