Chapter 1420 Evil Beast Traces
Sun Haocai walked very slowly. When Sun Haocai reached the main city of Dongping Prefecture, what Sun Haocai had done along the way had already reached here first.
Therefore, when Sun Haocai and his party came, the surrounding people were on the way to welcome them; some wealthy people who did not leave here had already prepared a grand welcome ceremony.
Sun Haocai stopped in front, looked ahead quietly, and suddenly asked, "Who is in charge here?"
Immediately, a middle-aged man stepped out quickly: "Guo Xiang, I have met you."
Sun Haocai nodded arrogantly, and asked slowly: "I saw many people leave along the way, why didn't you leave?"
Guo Xiang replied without hesitation: "Returning to my lord, we are all merchants and petty nobles. In Quang Binh, merchants are rich but not noble, and they are often bullied. It is the same in other places, and it will not change; it is better Stay and wait for a miracle."
Sun Haocai looked around and nodded slowly. He asked again, "Is there anyone here who left first and returned recently?"
Guo Xiang's heart skipped a beat, but he was also prepared for this question, and replied loudly: "My lord, there are quite a few. Most of these people don't want to give up their foundation, but they are worried about the future. Now these people have begun to regret it. "
Sun Haocai smiled slightly, businessmen are smart, and Guo Xiang could clearly hear the hidden meaning in his words—Sun Haocai was very disgusted with these people who went back and forth, or most people would be disgusted with such people. For these people, Sun Haocai really wanted to expel them. Anyway, Shang Guo didn't like this population here.
But Guo Xiang was astute, and Sun Haocai felt much more comfortable listening to this statement.
But Sun Haocai is Sun Haocai, don't look at Li Xian's lack of character, it's because Li Xian is surrounded by high-level business officials, and Sun Haocai wants to be a man with his tail between his legs. But at this time, it is not needed anymore, and what Li Xian wants is this kind of domineering.
Coming to such a place, a weak person cannot hold up the scene.
So Sun Haocai didn't stop there: "Guo Xiang, I have something I want to entrust to you, I wonder if you dare to accept it?"
"My lord, please make it clear that as long as it is within my ability, I will... do my best!" At the end of the speech, Guo Xiang hesitated. As a shrewd person, he has already thought of a rough idea.
Sure enough, Sun Haocai said: "Go and sort out the list of all the merchants here. They should be divided into different categories, different industries, and different scales.
Those who have stayed here and have not left, and those who have gone and returned, must be separated.
In addition, the behavior and morality of some businessmen must also be clearly marked, and related behaviors and events are listed.
In addition, I will also send people to collect some information and compare it with your information.
If this thing is done well, it is a great achievement. You can find organization personnel by yourself, but the state will send someone to supervise. "
"This... this..." Guo Xiang's temples are already sweating. This matter will definitely offend ninety-nine out of ten businessmen, and there are many unsightly things on his side; so Guo Xiang has been doing this and that for a long time, but I can't make a decision.
Sun Haocai looked over coldly: "I only ask you, can you do it or can't do it! I don't need a third answer!"
"This... can! It can be done!" Guo Xiang finally made a decision.
"Very good." Sun Haocai pointed to a guard beside him and transferred to Guo Xiang, "This guard will follow you as long as you go out; not during rest time. In addition to supervising you, it also represents This city lord, if you encounter a problem, you can directly help you solve it, or mobilize the army."
Sun Haocai is very domineering, but he also understands everything without having to play charades, which also surprised Guo Xiang and felt a little grateful. It's better to clarify everything than to think about it.
Sun Haocai continued to walk forward, and when he came in front of many businessmen and people, Sun Haocai said again: "Everyone, first of all, congratulations. From today onwards, you have become citizens of the Shang country. As a citizen of the Shang country, you enjoy many rights. I believe you have already seen these rights initially, and you will learn more about them in the future.
In our world, many people trek across mountains and rivers to come to a Shang country just to become a citizen of a Shang country.
Secondly, I want to say to all the dignitaries at the scene that there are no nobles in Shang Kingdom! You heard me right, there are only two social classes in the Shang Kingdom, and those who have just joined the Shang Kingdom and have not made enough contributions to the country are 'nationals'. Those who have passed the assessment and made sufficient contributions to the country will become the real and official people of the Shang country, that is, 'citizens'.
Only when you become a citizen, you have the right to vote, to be elected, etc.
In short, if you still want to exercise the rights of nobles, put on airs of nobles, etc., I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later.
Third, the country of Shang strictly implements the strategy of ruling the country according to law, and the laws of the country of Shang are all open to the public. Later, we will build judicial squares unique to Shang Kingdom inside and outside the city. The Judicial Square will list all the laws of the merchant country and send special judges to explain the laws.
All right, let's go, everyone can continue with their original lives. "
After speaking, Sun Hao continued to walk forward, ready to enter the city.
At this time, some merchants and nobles came forward and sent several boxes. Through the boxes, you could feel the energy fluctuations in them, and they were all treasures.
But Sun Haocai frowned slightly, and reprimanded coldly: "Back off!"
What's the situation? Everyone who was about to give gifts looked at each other in blank dismay.
However, Sun Haocai continued: "Retire immediately, otherwise it will be punished as a crime of bribery. For the crime of bribery, all bribe items will be confiscated and sentenced according to the value of the bribe items. For every 10,000 taels of gold value, the sentence will be one year. I’m afraid it’s more than ten million taels of gold, enough to imprison you for more than a thousand years!”
I wipe, so hard!
These merchants and nobles who were still about to bribe trembled a few times and quickly stepped aside. However, looking at Sun Haocai's figure walking slowly, there were different lights in everyone's eyes.
Joy flashed in the eyes of some businessmen. This business country looks very unusual, and it is really exciting. But those little nobles who stayed behind looked ugly; they never thought that the Shang country would have such a social structure.
But how to govern without nobles? These nobles have such a concept in their minds. In the minds of most nobles, nobles are needed to govern these mud legs.
Sun Haocai ignored the gazes around him and walked straight into the main city. After walking not far, he saw a vast open space in front of the city lord's mansion in the center of the main city. He pointed to it and said, "Let's build a judicial square here. , it doesn’t matter if it’s crude for the time being, anyway, this city needs to be rebuilt.”
Immediately, someone got busy, cast spells one by one, and stone tablets appeared one after another, and then lines of writing quickly appeared.
The construction of Judicial Square was already familiar to relevant personnel in Shang Kingdom. Every city above a town in the Shang Kingdom has a judicial square, and there are various government agencies around the judicial square, which has become a symbol of the Shang Kingdom.
However, it still took more than ten hours to record tens of thousands of laws one by one; Sun Hao saw that everything was going smoothly, and continued to walk into the city lord's mansion, but was soon dumbfounded.
Inside the city lord's mansion, a piece of dilapidated, even the handle on the door was pried away. As for the exotic flowers and weeds that used to be in the flower beds, etc., of course they disappeared without a trace, not even a single weed remained.
The courtyard was empty, the windows, gates, etc. were all taken away, along with the glazed tiles on the roof.
Seeing such a scene, Sun Hao really couldn't laugh or cry, as for being so poor! But that's good too, when I attack Quang Binh Jie in the future, I don't have to hold back, anyway, you don't hold back yourselves!
Sun Haocai went around again, and finally found out that he was really 'poor', he really had nothing. Immediately, Sun Haocai was amazed by this Dongpinghou who had never masked his face. Great man! Before leaving, the entire Dongping Prefecture was searched and wiped out.
But it is said that what Shang Guo bought from King Guangping was land, not anything else; Dongping Hou did this... nothing wrong!
Sun Haocai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the Judiciary Square was full of excitement. Although the law has not been recorded yet, the law that has been made public still shocks and delights everyone. Moreover, legal publicity measures such as the Judicial Square have also impressed the general public.
But just when Sun Haocai was about to re-plan and rebuild the entire main city, King Dongping received an envoy from another 'world' - he discovered a wave of evil beasts!
(Third watch, I'm so sleepy.)
