Chapter 4075

"The king has an order. From today on, everyone who collects customs duties in the territory of the state of Chen can be killed Zhao Fugui said in a deep voice.

"Not guilty of murder? What strange command is that? "

All the ministers and nobles in the court were astonished. They didn't understand what the order was and why it was so strange.

Maybe in the state of Chen, who is not a crafty person, someone will react quickly. This order is completely breaking their foundation. Once this order is implemented, they will not be able to collect any more tariffs.

Before these Shangfu doctors and nobles also thought of various means to deal with, but those means and Zhao Fugui's way of taking a drastic cut from the bottom is simply vulnerable.

"Da situ, this method is absolutely not advisable. If we use this method, our country will be in chaos. If a businessman kills people and slanders them for collecting customs duties, what should he do then? "

A senior doctor asked angrily.

"Just remove most of the checkpoints, leaving only fortresses and gates, and forbid them to have private contact with merchants. As long as they don't have private contact, others will surely see it. If others see it, there will be evidence to prove whether they have collected customs duties, but if no one sees it and there is no circumstantial evidence, they can be regarded as slanders."

Zhao Fugui had been ready for a long time and said directly.

"In the past, there was an old law in the state of Chen. If a robber is not guilty of murder, the new law can be implemented according to the old law."

Zhao Fugui said that this old law exists in almost every country. When the situation is chaotic, countries have no energy to deal with those small bandits. They can only use this method to let the people in one place kill the thieves themselves.

Although there are also cases of killing Liang and taking credit, they are a few after all, and Zhao Fugui also gave the method of investigation, so he was not embarrassed by the Shangfu doctor at all.

However, it is obvious that today's parliament will not end so easily. Those senior officials and nobles took turns to fight and argued with Zhao Fugui one by one.

It's a pity that Zhao Fugui and his family were well prepared. They couldn't argue with each other. They were defeated one after another.

In the end, these senior doctors and nobles had nothing to do. They could not stop Zhao Fugui in the court. They had to bow their heads for a while, prepare to think of another way, connect in private, and find a way to deal with them.

However, only half a month later, after the implementation of the new deal, many places in the state of Chen had an obvious way. In the capital of the state of Chen, a pile of carriages of the state of Chu slowly entered the city.

The traces left by these carriages on the mud ground are quite deep. It is obvious that they carry a lot of goods and are heavy. Although the number of people accompanying this group of carriages is not large, everyone's breath is quite strong. At first sight, they are not weak.

Nowadays, in the capital of the state of Chen, there are so many people. Even on both sides of the street, there are vendors who set up stalls. Their goods come and go from all over the world, including those from the state of Chen, the state of Chu, the state of Tang, and even more distant countries.

A lot of people choose goods on the streets, and more large transactions are also carried out in specific places. Without tariffs, Chen's transactions are booming at a very fast speed.

"King Chen really broke his hand and didn't accept any tariff. If there is no tariff, I'm afraid that the money available to him will be reduced by more than half!" Said one of the guards in the caravan.

"King Chen issued such a decree, I'm afraid there are other ideas!" On the contrary, the leader of the caravan said thoughtfully.

The caravan entered the capital of the state of Chen and continued to move forward. After a while, it could be seen that the capital of the state of Chen was more prosperous. It seemed that the merchant had grasped something, but he couldn't figure it out.

After walking for a while, the caravan began to look for accommodation. They wanted to live here, sell the goods first, then buy some Chu goods and bring them back to Chu for sale. Only in this way can they maximize their interests.

The state of Chen does not collect tariffs, so it saves money to go in and out of the state of Chen, and profits can be increased by 40% out of thin air, which is enough to move countless people.

"No, all the Inns here are full!" But after walking around, the caravan couldn't find a place to live.

"How come it's full? We've been all over the place, and there are no Inns full! " The leader was stunned and murmured.

"It is said that there are many more people doing business through the state of Chen than a few months ago. Chen Guoguo is especially good to businessmen, so there are more businessmen. There are too many businessmen. Where can we live?" The person in charge of looking for accommodation said helplessly.

"How many guests are looking for accommodation? It happened that there was a courtyard vacant for the guests to live in Just then, a little old man standing on the street came up and said.

A few businessmen were surprised. Now in the capital of Chen Guoguo, even these ordinary people have begun to do business? This has never happened among other countries.

"If the courtyard is clean and safe, I'll rent it!" Said the leading merchant, after a moment's deliberation.

"Easy to say, easy to say, please follow me With a happy face, the little old man quickly came to a small yard with several people. The yard is not big, and there are three small houses inside, but they are clean and tidy, and it is not far from the market, so it should be safer."It's a good yard. I'll settle the bill with you when we're finished living." Then the leading businessman took out a small golden bean from his arms and handed it to the old man.

The Chu, Tang and Chen coins are different, but the golden beans can circulate in all countries. Therefore, the merchants who go in and out are basically carrying golden beans. If they are very large, they may even carry small gold ingots in and out.

"Let's invite the owner to have a look!"

Several businessmen saw the little old man stop a man who was patrolling the street and show him the golden bean. The man politely identified the authenticity of the golden bean, then nodded and gave it back to the old man.

Several travelling merchants can't believe their eyes. If a civilian shows a golden bean to an official in other countries, he will be robbed immediately.

But now in the state of Chen, the situation is totally different. These officials have a very good attitude towards the common people, and they are not greedy for their money. This is incredible.

"Some guests, please stay here. If you have something to do, please call Xiao Lao ER!" The old man said after he went back.

"It's really possible!" When the old man came home with the golden bean, the family murmured around the golden bean.
