The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 238 Newlyweds
Qiongya rolls began to be issued, Chu Qianhan opened a department store in the state capital, and sold the materials in the treasury in the department store, stipulating that they could only be purchased with Qiongya rolls.

With a way to spend, when Chu Qianhan used Qiong Ya's curly hair wages, it did not cause much backlash.Some people who were suspicious in their hearts took Qiongya rolls to buy basic daily necessities such as grain, cloth and meat in department stores, and they were relieved, knowing that Chu Qianhan was not lying to them.

When the Qiongya army was paid for wages, the government bought goods sold by merchants and began to use Qiongya rolls.

Merchants can choose not to sell their goods to the government, but without Qiongya Juan, it is difficult for them to rent cheap tax-free stalls in the government-designated market, and they must pay full taxes to operate in places outside the government-designated market.Merchants pursue profits without the restraint of the government, so they all live in designated markets, and Qiongya rolls are also preliminarily popularized.

Chu Qianhan didn't let the merchants worry that Qiongya rolls could not be used in other places. He opened an exchange point at the entrance of the department store, and exchanged Qiongya rolls for salt rolls according to the daily market price.Merchants can choose to take the salt rolls away, or they can choose to entrust the government to post them to the capital, and the government will charge one-twelfth of the handling fee.Similarly, the handling fee charged by the government is the same for sending tickets from the capital to Qiongya.

As soon as this kind of business was launched, it attracted many merchants. Many merchants from Lingnan North Road and nearby roads came to Qiongya Tickets to send salt rolls, and then went to the capital to express it. Although it took some detours, it could ensure safety along the way. .Compared with the risk on the road, the handling fee of one in twelve is acceptable.

All these arrangements played a huge role in the next year, making Qiongya Military Prefecture an important financial center in the south of the empire.

These arrangements are still in the process of fermenting, and the benefits of postal services between stations are already in front of people.

With the promotion of the postal service to the south, in addition to the steady stream of income, it also played an unexpected role, that is, some hidden tax evaders were discovered, which invisibly increased the court's tax revenue by a large amount.

Emperor Chu Huaitian was very satisfied with this, but the officials in the court were not happy.In the past years, as long as you have official documents, you can eat and drink for nothing at the post station. The official-level consumption quota stipulated by the imperial court is just a piece of waste paper.Since Shangguan Qing took over the inn in the south, the inn no longer read the paperwork for receiving customers, anyone needs to spend money to stay in the inn, and there is no such thing as free food and drink, which has attracted many criticisms from Qingliu.

These self-proclaimed Qingliu are used to eating and drinking for free at the post station, and it is normal to feel angry when they suddenly charge them money.

According to Shangguan Qing's plan, officials who take the south road in the future will get a full amount of travel expenses in advance, and how much this money is spent on the road depends on the officials themselves.However, the amount stipulated by the imperial court was not enough for the officials to squander along the way, especially the Qingliu who liked the wind and snow and the moon and the clan who were used to living extravagant lives felt that their interests had been touched.

The counterattack was unprecedentedly strong.

The Qingliu said it was insulting to the gentleman, they didn't want to hand over the money, but they wanted to live a life without worrying about food and drink.

The clan said it was against the ancestral system, clenching the trouser legs of the ancestors tightly, and planned to eat and drink forever.

All kinds of gossip and gossip began to accuse Shangguan Wenhe of playing power, Shangguanqing confused the harem, and wrote letters one after another asking Chu Huaitian to be far away from villains and close to virtuous ministers.

Those clan Qingliu who claimed to be virtuous ministers all put on the appearance of moral models.

Shangguan Qing felt lucky at this time, fortunately Chu Huaitian is an emperor who understands the role of money, and he is also a man of capacity, if it were an emperor with soft ears, all her efforts might be in vain.

In order to develop peacefully, a peaceful environment is indeed very important.

Thanks to Chu Huaitian for his powerful assist, Shangguan Qing gave Chu Huaitian a shotgun with [-] rounds of ammunition, and taught him how to use this lucrative firearm.

Chu Huaitian applied it for a while, and understood the limitations of this weapon, and his vigilance in his heart was also reduced a lot.

In return, Chu Huaitian carefully condemned those who impeached Shangguan Qing, saying that the officials were demoted to the local government to control the wine tax, and all the clans were demoted to common people.

The transformation of the post station is still in progress, and the postal business is spreading like a raging fire, bringing a lot of income to the Craftsman Division every day.

Seeing the benefits of the postal service, the Ministry of Household Affairs wanted to take over postal stations across the country and carry out postal business in accordance with Shangguanqing's method. However, Feng Nianqing, who had been very cooperative before, was unwilling to hand over the management rights of the remaining postal stations. He established a new department within the Ministry of War , specializing in the management of postal services, which is nominally used for military affairs, but in essence everyone understands that it is for money.

The clan couldn't sit still seeing the benefits, and hoped that according to the previous suggestion, there would be a clan mansion to manage the station, but they still didn't want to run the station themselves, and their minds were full of thoughts of others making money and squandering it.

At this time, Shangguan Qing put down the work at hand and concentrated on getting married.

As the wedding day drew nearer, Shangguan Qing became more and more impatient with those official duties. She was not a person with a strong desire to control, and now she was preparing to run her own small family.

Chu Qianhan returned to the capital seven days in advance, gathered with Shangguan Qing at night, and stayed in the palace during the day to prepare for the wedding.

Shangguan Qing's wedding attracted the attention of the whole capital, everyone wanted to attend the wedding banquet, but very few people got the invitations.

Chu Qianhan's identity is the vassal king of Qiongya Junzhou, and it is reasonable to say that he should not stay in the capital. Shangguan Qing's father is also the prime minister of the dynasty. The marriage between them touched many rules, so the wedding was held Very low-key.According to the plan, Chu Qianhan would go to Shangguan's house to pick up his relatives, and after taking them back to the Three Princes' Mansion, he would turn back to Shangguan Qing's house through the back door.

The size of the wedding banquet is also limited to the range of acquaintances.

Among the important officials of the imperial court, only Shangshu Wang Qiushan and Feng Nianqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, were invited. Shangguanqing invited many master craftsmen from the craftsman department, and Chu Qianhan invited merchants.

Don't invite more officials, let alone military generals in the court, this will be noticed by both Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan.

On the day of the wedding, Shangguan Qing got up early to wash and dress up with the assistance of the female officer, feeling all kinds of sweetness in her heart, but when she saw the red hijab brought by Liu Liuniang, Shangguan Qing felt a little panicked.

This panic came from Ling Ling. She was betrayed by her beloved, so she traveled to this world and became a soul in Shangguan Qing's body.

Qianqing didn't know any worries at all, and kept congratulating Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing shook off the panic in her head, and kept telling herself to be happy.

Just when Shangguan Qing was in a daze, there was the sound of welcoming chant outside, not because she was familiar with modern music, it was a little noisy, Shangguan Qing wanted to stop it.

"Girl, the prince is here." An Lu trotted in from the outside, her face full of joy.
