The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 299 Share Distribution
The proprietor of the Feng family kept his face sullen and silent, while his second son, who was the spokesperson, was boasting: "The Wujiangkou Wharf was organized and built by my brother Feng Nianqing. It is the responsibility of the Feng family to protect the safety of the Wujiang River. The Feng family's river fleet should be allocated more weapons."

Zheng Wei, the representative of the Zheng family, said in a cold voice: "The river is within the territory of the state of Chu, and there are water troops from various states and counties along the way to protect it. There is no need for so many weapons. Our Zheng family needs more weapons if we want to confront the Dongyi people. "

The two families were noisy, and the rest of the small families knew that they couldn't get the big head, so they all watched the fun and waited to see the subsequent distribution quota.

Shangguan Qing heard the noise in the conference room from a long distance away, and said to Chu Qianhan with a smile: "Many people will be disappointed when the plan comes out."

"If you pay, you will get rewards. They should also understand this."

Chu Qianhan has been persuaded by Shangguan Qing. If he allocates resources according to the tradition, he will lose most of his authority and all his previous efforts will be in vain.

We must let the rich know that their power comes from the central government, and they cannot survive on their own.

The bamboo building used as a meeting room is built on a huge metal frame, which was designed by Shangguan Qing. There are no support columns that hinder the view. The main seat is a three-and-a-half-ring structure that gradually extends outward without distinction. Seats, the Feng family and the Zheng family each have a distinct side, and the small families are squeezed in the center, scattered in twos and threes.

Someone announced the arrival of King Qiongyahan and the princess, and the meeting hall immediately fell silent.

Chu Qianhan sat on the main seat in the middle, with his back to the mainland and facing the sea, not directly south or north, which showed that he attached great importance to the sea.

Shangguan Qing was sitting under Chu Qianhan's right hand, with his back against the mainland and facing the sea. Below them was a circled lecture seat, with the entrance on the right. Speakers could face Chu Qianhan or face down. The representative of the Hao family spoke, and the lecture hall is now empty.

Chu Qianhan motioned for Jiang Sixue who came in to announce the distribution of weapons.

Jiang Sixue did not stand beside Chu Qianhan and read the speech, but entered the lecture seat and read the draft of the weapon distribution plan to the representative of the rich family.

Shangguan Qing's initial plan was very simple, which was to formulate the share of weapons allocated to the major families based on the tax collection records of the Qiongya Taxation Department.While buying weapons and equipment for the township army, the Hao family must send one-fifth of the soldiers of the township army under the direct command of Qiongya Palace. The soldiers must be between 35 and [-] years old.

After the distribution plan was read out, the representatives of the Hao family below were not calm.

Many of their families do not travel by sea or land, take advantage of loopholes and do not pay taxes, and only part of any weapons share, this is the rhythm of their death.

At this time, the Feng family and the Zheng family became quiet. They no longer worried about the lack of weapons, but began to worry about the source of troops. If one-fifth of the young and strong were handed over to the command of the Qiongya Palace, their own strength would be weakened, and the war would eventually end. We still have to rely on people, and we cannot release all the sources of soldiers.

"Quiet." Jiang Sixue took out a mallet and struck vigorously on the wooden table in the lecture hall.

The knocking sound of the gavel pierced people's hearts, and the conference room became quiet. Shangguan Qing had already seen the expressions of everyone below, knew a little bit about their thoughts, and had already given an explanation.

Jiang Sixue said loudly: "The arsenal was also expanded to its current scale with taxpayers' money, and weapons will not be distributed to those who have not paid taxes. Areas that have not contributed to Qiongya's fiscal revenue are not worthy of protection."

What he said was extremely harsh and full of utilitarianism.

"The people are innocent." Someone shouted.

This time it was not Jiang Sixue who came to answer, but Chu Qianhan said in a clear voice: "The people are innocent, and the armed forces of Qiongya Military Prefecture will give priority to protecting the people who pay taxes, and then the rest, and only rewards will be paid."

Shangguan Qing lowered her head, these words did not change what Chu Qianhan said, and should be relayed by Jiang Sixue, she did not want any remarks that would affect Chu Qianhan's image to spread.

Chu Qianhan stood up and continued: "The weapons in the share announced here are all half price. These weapons account for one-third of the output of the arsenal, and another third will be shipped to the capital, and the remaining output will be six percent. One will be sold to everyone here at three times the original price, and one-sixth will be sold to the common people at six times the original price."

"All the income from the sale of weapons will be used to expand the arsenal and expand the war potential of the Qiongya Army."

"The war 300 years ago lasted for 60 years, and we may also face a war that lasts for 60 years. Please be mentally prepared."

Chu Qianhan stood up to clarify his attitude, so that those who were lucky enough to wake up.

"War is a matter of life and death. I will not be merciful to anyone. Put away the luck in your hearts and go back and tell everyone in your family that everything has just begun. If there is no unity, there will only be destruction."

Chu Qianhan's words were resounding, and the representatives of the wealthy clan stood up one after another, lowering their arrogant heads.

Shangguan Qing looked at everyone's expressions, and most of them didn't care. It's not surprising that they haven't seen the cruelty of war yet, and the days to come are still long.

"Please sit down, everyone. We will begin to distribute the shooting quota. After the draft is drafted, your family needs to confirm the quantity within seven days. The draft will not be revised again. When the war starts, the weapons will be distributed according to the different theaters."

"This arms allocation allocates only half of the existing stockpile and production for the next three months."

Chu Qianhan said everything clearly, and then the caller will send out the matching list, and Jiang Sixue is responsible for reading it out.

Shangguan Qing asked via voice transmission: "Is the three-month production too much?"

"It's already too few. We don't have enough soldiers, so we have to let them send some more." Chu Qianhan expressed his worry.

Shangguan Qing did not agree with this idea. In the past, the soldiers mastered by the Hao clan were the most important source of soldiers, but now it is different. She believes in the soldiers trained from scratch.

Shangguan Qing didn't refute Chu Qianhan's decision, she watched quietly, she would be Chu Qianhan's backup and watch him go to the top of the world.

During the meeting, almost every family raised questions about the quotas, and Jiang Sixue gave an answer based on the draft documents. In addition to taxes, there are also some contributions to Qiongya's public welfare, such as repairing the road leading to Qiongya.

The draft is based on Qiongya and is as fair as possible.

The shares of the Feng family and the Zheng family were determined first, and the Nanling mountain people also got a large share, and then the wealthy families that had business in Qiongya were collectively called the Qiongya Thirteen Family, and the wealthy families from other military states on the road ranked last.

Immigrant households like the Zheng family and the mountain people can get a large share, which makes the rich families on the road feel a little bit resentful. They are unwilling to pay taxes or repair public welfare, so they want to take benefits from Qiongya.

At the end of the few companies with the least share, the grievances are already obvious.
