Therefore, not only did all kinds of discriminatory laws against merchants be lifted, but the legality of private property was also recognized.

Citizens in commercial cities like Bianjing are even used to litigation and disputes.

The commodity economy began to impact the traditional Confucian ethics.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, two prime ministers beat the lawsuit to the emperor in order to fight for a rich woman.

This is almost unimaginable in other dynasties!

With the development of now, Confucianism and Shang Dynasty began to merge.

Businessmen in Fujian and Southeast have all begun to support young people who can study in the tribe.

After these young people seek fame and fortune, they will in turn provide official protection for their family's career.

For example, Zhang Dun, Cai Jing, Cai Que, and Lu Huiqing, these important officials from Fujian all have a large number of people doing business.

The integration of officials and business has become the mainstream of generations.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

There are many rich people in the people!

Of course, these people are basically all united by the unity of official and business.

There can always be one or several important officials behind it.

Why can people from the Han family in Xiangzhou and the Lu family in Shouzhou maintain their living standards without embezzlement?

The answer is here!

After hearing Liu Weijian's introduction, Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, I am the old commander!"

"But there is something that the old commander still needs to run for me..."

"Please give me instructions!" Liu Weijian immediately made a statement.

"I have always cared about the people of Hebei and attached importance to the hearts of the people of Hebei!" Zhao Xu said: "So, after ascending the throne, I issued several edicts to express my gratitude to the gentry of Hebei, and sent Song Yongchen and others to clear the silt, build roads and lay bridges in Hebei!"

"All these things are seen by the world and known to the people!"

"This time I bought a house to buy a house to buy a house to buy a house to buy a house to buy a house alone on Hebei Road, and I will draw a house to buy a house alone!"

"The old commander should explain this matter in detail with the merchants in Hebei. It is necessary to make all merchants know my love for Hebei!"

"In addition, the old commander can reveal one thing to the people in Hebei..."

"I said that even if I fail to win the bid, I don't have to worry about it. I have the benefits to it!"

Hebei Road!

It is the weakness of the Song Dynasty and the most special area of ​​the Song Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Hebei Road has been a truly free economic society.

In Hebei, the Zhao officials did not bother with salt or iron, and even wine.

Allow the people to grow freely and wildly!

Therefore, Hebei from the Song Dynasty came out of a huge merchant!

How rich are Hebei people?

Zhao Xu remembered that in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, a department on Hebei Road reported that there was a big merchant who wanted to buy the entire salt market in Hebei.

And, he offered an amazing price.

However, after seeing the memorial, Zhao Xu immediately refused without hesitation and issued an edict to severely scold the relevant officials!

Later, he even demoted the official who wrote the letter to propose it on other reasons.

Why?

Because Hebei has united front value!

If the Zhao official family dares to implement a salt purchase system in Hebei today, so that Hebei people can eat the high-priced salt of the Zhao official family.

Tomorrow, people from Hebei will vote with their feet to go to Liao Kingdom and become subjects of the Yelu family.

Don’t laugh—because, in the Song Dynasty, there are a large number of so-called “two-investors” living in the so-called “two-investors” with both Liao and Song hukous.

These people paid taxes and served in the Liao Kingdom, as well as taxes and service to the Song Dynasty.

It seems that these two losers have had a miserable life, right?

The fact is that there is no happier group in the whole world than these two losers on the Song and Liao borders!

Because, Song and Liao were fighting to win over them, unite them in front of them, and give them super preferential policies!

For example, the Song Dynasty did not impose taxes on them for a long time, nor did they require them to serve.

Later, when the Renmiao Dynasty was still in the Renmiao Dynasty, some people said that the two losers never paid taxes, which seemed to be not good.

It would be a bad thing if they did not pay taxes on the Song Dynasty for a long time, which led to their self-identification as being a Liao person.

Therefore, the court sent people to ask the two losers to pay a symbolic payment of some positive tax every year.

Moreover, these taxes are not mandatory.

You can just hand in it, but it’s okay not to hand in it.

The court will not send people to charge taxes like other places.

In the Liao Kingdom, these people are treated more favorably.

Because they were "loyal and obedient subjects" who lived in the Song Dynasty but paid taxes to the Liao people.

Therefore, the Liao lords of all dynasties have won over these people and won the best of their kindness.

Although they paid taxes to the Liao lord, the Liao people would reward each time they paid the tax.

The rewarded property usually exceeds the tax amount, and sometimes even reaches several times the tax amount!

In addition, they entered and left the border and engaged in trade. Neither the Song and Liao sides would stop them and set limits.

Both Song and Liao sides were doing their best to communicate freely through these "two-loss households" with special identities in Song and Liao countries, to demonstrate their "pleasure" and the "institutional superiority" of their own regimes to each other's people.

So this time, Zhao Xu still provided special preferential treatment for Hebei Road - a special allocation to Hebei Road outside a new city to Hebei Road, and only people from Hebei people are allowed to buy money!

no way!

Hebei people have to coax them!

Otherwise, people will run away from Liao Kingdom.

The Yelu family has always claimed that they are the legal heirs of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, their family is a descendant of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han!

He even slandered the Zhao official family as the [Bian Kou] who "stealed the magical artifact".

Under the propaganda offensive of the Liao people, problems often arise in Hebei.

For this reason, the Zhao official family could only continue to benefit.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he encountered floods in Hebei.

Immediately mobilized the entire national force to go to rescue disasters.

After the flood, Zhao Xu ordered Song Yongchen to lead the imperial guards, young and strong, to build roads and clear the dredging in Hebei.

But inside and outside the government, there was no objection to this.

The reason is that all Hebei issues cannot be counted on economic accounts, but also on political accounts.

The Liao people cannot win the hearts of the people of Hebei!

Just like the people of Liao, they tried every means to prevent the Song Dynasty from winning the hearts of Youyan people.

Therefore, the border military states on both sides of the two countries, which are at the center of competition between the Song and Liao countries, became the group with the lowest living pressure and the least taxes in this era.

Of course, Zhao Xu did these things just for the sake of benefit.

Instead, he is taking advantage of Hebei's special status to leverage the stubborn part of the Song Dynasty system.

The reason is very simple - don’t worry about lack of worries but not unevenness.

This is human nature!

The more preferential Zhao Xu treats Hebei, the more special it is.

People from other places will naturally think and fight after seeing this situation.

Then, Zhao Xu can adapt to the will of the people and gradually lift the shackles of the development of the commodity economy.

Therefore, Zhao Xu would then mobilize the Bianjing New News and the Bianjing Yibao to report related news.

Let everyone in the world know that there is a Hebei Road in the Song Dynasty.

There is no salt, no iron, or even no wine.

Products can be circulated freely, and the tax burden on the people is even very low!

This is the journalism trick that Zhao Xu learned in modern study - to resist XX!
