The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1075: Jiuqing performing arts? [Subscribe*Subscribe for monthly tickets]

The censors were also stunned for a moment, then they reacted.

Your Majesty's reputation in Bingzhou is irreplaceable.

When the Qi State was in chaos, Your Majesty entered Linzi in a green robe, and all the brave cavalry turned their spears around to guard you. This heroic act was rarely seen in the world.

In the entire history books, it seems that only Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of Qin State, has done this.

Therefore, trying to seize power in Bingzhou is like an old man hanging himself because he is tired of living.

"You are a guest from outside, right? Do you have a place to stay? Do you need a guide?" A thug with shifty eyes walked up to Zhao Gao and others.

"Oh?" Zhao Gao and others laughed.

They participated in almost the entire planning of Beiye Royal City. In terms of familiarity, there are few people in the whole Bingzhou who are more familiar with it than them.

The secret guards who were guarding in secret around wanted to go out and drive them away, and other censors also wanted to step forward to drive them away, but when they saw Zhao Gao waving his hand, they all retreated.

"Tell me, what's fun or new in this Beiye Royal City?" Zhao Gao handed over five big coins.

The thug took the five big coins, and in the blink of an eye, the big coins disappeared from his hands.

"The Mohist school is from the same lineage as Dao Zhi!" Zhao Gao and others were a little surprised.

Sure enough, Mohism is everywhere.

"To be honest, sir, there are quite a few places worth visiting in Beiye Royal City. Siming Lake is the best place for an outing. Legend has it that Your Majesty and the Empress often played there. There are even rumors that Siming Lake is where the Emperor and Empress bathed." The gangster whispered.

"How dare you!" The Censor's face changed drastically. Slandering the emperor and empress is a serious crime.

Zhao Gao waved his hands. This kind of thing could not be stopped at all, and even if it got out, His Majesty and the Empress would not care.

"What else?" Zhao Gao continued to ask.

"If you are a gourmet, then there is an inn you cannot miss!" the gangster continued.

"There is an inn that has the most complete range of wines in the world, whether it is Qin wine or the former Zhao wine, Qi wine, Chu wine, etc., even including Confucian ritual wine, Legalist legal wine, Taoist medicinal wine, as long as you want it, there is an inn that can get it for you."

"There is also the East Market. The leader of the Mohist Qi Mo sect, Leader Pao Ding, will personally go on stage to demonstrate the Pao Ding's skill of butchering a cow. Customers should not miss it."

Zhao Gao was surprised. It seemed that the Mohist School was not short of money. Had they not fallen to the point of leading their leaders to perform for money?
However, this gimmick is indeed quite big, even a powerful imperial censor like him was attracted to it.

"Where is the best place to watch?" Zhao Gao continued to ask.

The gangster rubbed his fingers together. Legend has it that this gesture of rubbing hands together to ask for money was created by His Majesty, and then people all over the world followed suit.

This time, without waiting for Zhao Gao to give money, his subordinates took the initiative to give him five big coins.

"This money is not taken in vain. The best place to watch is in the private room on the third floor of an inn facing the street in the East Market. However, that place has been reserved by many nobles, and I have a way to get one for them." The gangster took the money and said with a smile.

Zhao Gao smiled and nodded. Even he was attracted, let alone other people. So one can imagine how popular the shops and buildings facing the street in the East Market would be.

As for the ruffians, they can be trusted, and the Mohist school's reputation is still trustworthy.

Although he could reveal his identity and someone would prepare a private room for them, as imperial censors, they knew better how to avoid privilege.

"Okay, take me to see it!" Zhao Gao nodded.

"List……"

"Zhao..."

On the way, Zhao Gao and Chen Jian met each other, but they saw that they were both wearing casual clothes. They also knew that Chen Jian was on a secret visit, so they didn't call out to each other.

They smiled at each other, said hello and then left. "As expected, you are the Minister of Internal Affairs!" Zhao Gao sighed.

Along the way, he found many people like Liu San, the ruffian who led him.

Although they act as guides for outsiders, they know how to grasp the customers' psychology and guide them to consume.

What does consumption bring? Money and taxes.

It can be said that in addition to cheating a lot of money from sponsors from various countries, Chen Jian also did not intend to let these outsiders go.

"I wonder how much profit Beiye Royal City can generate today alone!" Zhao Gao sighed.

Prosperous trade is one of the standards of a prosperous era.

"Probably around 700,000 or 800,000!" a censor roughly estimated.

It can only be said that they were also shocked by Chen Jian's work and truly recognized this airborne Internal History of Zhisu.

"In three days, the commercial transaction volume of Beiye Royal City reached..." In the Zhisu Neishi Yamen, the person in charge looked at the financial report in his hand in shock.

The others also looked at the Director of Beiye City Shipping Department nervously.

This is the first time they have demonstrated their capabilities since the establishment of the Zhisu Neishi Yamen, so they must not fail.

"Fifty million!" the Director of Maritime Customs said in shock.

He was not trying to keep people in suspense, but was confirming the number.

Fifty million is the total transaction volume. It is impossible to convert all of it into taxes, but the income converted into taxes will not be low.

You have to know that the status of merchants in this era was not very high. Although Yan Yan improved the status of merchants time and time again, the taxes on merchants were still very high.

The civilian tax in Bingzhou is one-fifteenth of the tax rate, while the commercial tax is indeed one-seventh of the tax rate.

In other words, the commercial tax of Beiye Royal City in three days is almost equal to the tax revenue of Beiye Royal City for the whole year.

And these three days are not the peak time.

The most popular day will be Han Fei’s wedding day.

Now it can only be regarded as a warm-up.

"Quiet!" Chen Jian stretched out his hand to calm them down. He was also excited, but after going through many storms, he was still able to calm down the fastest.

"Don't be fooled by the results in front of you. The next step will be a test for us. First of all, the guides must not lead people recklessly. In particular, they must pay attention to forced buying and selling. Also, the quality of the goods must not be passed off as inferior goods. Please ask the Censorate to send censors to set up temporary inspection offices in the streets and alleys of Beiye Royal City. Once there is a report from a tourist, the problem must be solved immediately. No matter who it is, anyone who affects the reputation of Bingzhou will not be tolerated!"

Chen Jian gave the instructions solemnly.

Merchants are profit-oriented, so this kind of thing is bound to happen. This is also the reason why he went on a secret tour, just to see the real situation of Beiye Royal City.

"Actually..." an official in charge of grain affairs spoke hesitantly.

"If you have any ideas, just say them. We don't have so many rules in the Internal Affairs Office!" Chen Jian said gently.

"In fact, if you want to attract tourists, you can also learn from Mo's Pao Ding and go to the East Market to demonstrate..."

Chen Jian stared at the person who spoke with his eyes wide open, and other colleagues also moved away from him.

It’s not enough for the leader to perform, you are actually thinking of instigating Jiuqing to perform?

"It's not impossible..." Chen Jian hesitated. As long as it could promote consumption and attract more tourists to Beiye Royal City to spend money, he would be willing to go up and perform striptease.
