Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Soon, Ying Ziying drove Liu Hua and Xun Xi to the council hall in a carriage.

Liu Hua returned to the council hall, where Fang Xuanling, Zhuge Liang and others were still handling government affairs in the brightly lit council hall.

"You guys, you haven't gone back yet?" Liu Hua couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling still handling government affairs in the conference hall.

"We're about to go back!" Fang Xuanling said, "I first came to Xianyang. I handed over the case files and rosters from Zhibai, but I still need time to organize them. I will organize more today and less tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Hua looked at Fang Xuanling with admiration when he heard what Fang Xuanling said.

After all, what boss wouldn’t like this kind of 007 employee who loves working overtime?

Liu Hua Liu Hua assisted Liu Hua in developing Xianyang. After all, you still have to be strong yourself.

Xun Xi proposed a plan to cancel the city entrance tax at the city gate of Xianyang. The city entrance tax in Yanjing has been canceled long ago. However, after all, Youzhou's business is not very developed and it is not a commercial city, so the impact will not be big.

It needs to be mentioned here that because Qin unified the world, the original tariffs between the seven countries have been cancelled.

However, taxes such as city entry taxes have always existed, because walled cities are inherently safer than wilderness, so many people or refugees who cannot survive outside will find a way to enter the city to survive.

However, Xun Xi did not plan to touch the customs duties and city entry taxes in surrounding areas. He only planned to cancel the city entry tax in Xianyang.

Because the city entry tax not only represents a simple tax collection function, but also maintains the stability of the city and prevents people from outside the city from entering the city casually, thus increasing the hidden dangers of the city.

The abolition of the city tax will not only bring about economic problems, but also serious security issues. Of course, for the nobles of Great Qin, there is also a status issue.

Therefore, after Xun Xi raised this issue, Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and object, saying: "Princess, please be cautious. Let's not talk about the tax issue after reducing tariffs. More importantly, although the people in Guanzhong abide by the law, they are also good. Fighting is easy.

Especially when we migrated some people from the Chu region, there were some conflicts between the two sides. If the city gate tax is abolished and people can come and go freely, there will probably be more troubles in the city. "

"Things have to be resolved one by one!" Xun Xi heard the objections but didn't say much. He just said, "According to what you said, the first thing is the safety issue. I plan to lay off some veterans who are over thirty-five years old. Come down and hang it in the name of city defense.

Then let them patrol the city of Xianyang to prevent some illegal things. These veterans can allow us to effectively manage the city, so this team is called urban management. "

"City...city management?!" Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there would be more troops under his command.

"Yeah!" Xun Xi nodded, "In addition, Fang Xuanling, you need to formulate supporting regulations for city management.

These regulations are not crimes, but they are used to educate the people, such as stealing, fighting, gambling on the street, etc.

If you make these minor mistakes, don't execute them directly, but deploy people to serve in prisoner camps.

We adhere to the standards of punishing evil and promoting good, treating diseases and saving people, and let them transform themselves through labor.

After all, a place as big as Xianyang has no shortage of places to move bricks. The more mistakes you make, the longer the labor reform will take. "

"How many people are there in urban management?" Faced with Xun Xi's inquiry, Fang Xuanling asked again.

Xun Xi said: "Although Xianyang has experienced many chaos, it is still a city with a population of more than 500,000. Let's start with 5,000 urban management.

If there is still a shortage by then, veterans will retire every year. At least there will be an arrangement for the veterans to retire.

They are all brothers who have conquered the world with me. If they retire due to injuries, disabilities, etc., I will always arrange a place for them. "

After hearing Xun Xi's words, Fang Xuanling was speechless. As a Tingwei, he was more concerned about maintaining the stability of the city of Xianyang.

Now that Xun Xi has given the plan, at least he doesn't seem to have too many problems with it, so he will try it out for a while first.

When Fang Xuanling sat down, Zhang Liang said: "But without the city entry tax, our tax revenue will be reduced by more than half.

After all, Xianyang is the largest city under our jurisdiction. The tax revenue obtained from people coming and going every day is immeasurable. "

"Just change your thinking!" Xun Xi said, "People come and go just to get the resources they need from the city. If they are just visiting relatives and friends, there is no need to stop them.

What we have to do is to further rationally plan this resource.

For example, we established four cities in Xianyang, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and then stipulated that all transactions can only be conducted in these four cities, and these four cities allow transactions to continue at night, that is, night markets.

However, the venues in these four cities are only allowed to be rented or subleased, and cannot be bought or sold directly. I think the fees in these four cities alone should be enough to exceed the daily city entry tax! "

"If so...you can give it a try!" Faced with Xun Xi's insistence, Zhang Liang thought about it but did not want to refuse.

I just doubt whether Xun Xi can really get more tax than the city entry tax by using this method.

However, Xun Xi ignored Zhang Liang's suspicion, because Xun Xi knew very well that what he had to do was to integrate the forces of Han to support the city of Xianyang, thereby stimulating the vitality of Xianyang.

It's a pity that my position is not in the central region. If it were in the central region, I would dare to cancel all checkpoint restrictions and find a way to let the whole of China support the city where I am.

But in Xianyang, because of its natural geographical disadvantage, it is unrealistic to attract the resources of the entire China. It would be great to concentrate the resources of the entire Qin region.

To be honest, Xun Xi knew that doing this would not increase the resources at his disposal, but Xun Xi was able to integrate the resources at his disposal through this approach.

After all, they could not rob many things by force, but they could adjust them through commercial means. One of the most important ones was the Bashu region.

Although Liu Hua didn't really want to admit it, in reality his jurisdiction over the Bashu region was more in name only, because Liu Yu's foundation in the Bashu region was too shallow.

The landowners in the Shu area are also willing to pay nominal taxes, but this is far from enough.

Now that he has just acquired the Guanzhong area, he does not have time to rectify the Bashu area. It is enough for them to pay taxes. And building Xianyang into a northern commercial city will attract some of the resources belonging to Bashu. Liu Hua has extended his tentacles. A trial to reach out to the Bashu region.

Of course, there is another important reason for Xun Xi to do this, which is to cultivate the business environment in Xianyang. When the Silk Road is opened in the future, it will be easy for the administrative power to keep up with the wealth coming from the Silk Road.

When Liu Hua was carrying out commercial reforms, Guan Yu, Zhou Yafu and others were leading the Han army Liu Hua to suppress bandits.

This large area of ​​​​Guanzhong was first harmed by Qin II and Zhao Gao, then Liu Hua led the Han army to invade, and then Xiang Jian led the coalition of princes. This land has been persecuted time and time again. There are naturally quite a lot of rogues.

But now the thieves in Guanzhong clearly saw what it means to be an ancestor of thieves and professionals. Guan Yu, Zhou Yafu and others led their troops and pushed them all the way.
