Xu Fusheng walked in with the county guard, and said, "I don't know what's going on, I just arrived in Hotan City."

Someone openly assassinated me, the director of the Bureau of Commerce and Finance, a colt in southern Xinjiang, could it be that the law and order in Hetian City has become like this?"

Totobei scolded angrily in his heart, but it was not good to turn his face at this moment, he came today to discuss important matters.

He said in a low voice: "Recently, too many refugees have poured into Hotan City, and this law and order has really given the lower officials a headache.

These people dared to disturb the horses, and they were determined to be severely punished. ”

"Okay, with shrewd and capable parents like Lord Junshou, I believe these little people are not a problem. Xu Fusheng praised with a serious face.

They are standard Maonan people in southern Xinjiang, tall and stout, but they speak softly.

He hesitated and said, "The lower officials will definitely try their best to protect the safety of the horse master, and I will arrange for someone to go back to interrogate this group of daring and reckless lawbreakers."

I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Xu Fusheng didn't answer, and warmly invited Totobei to sit down and said, "My lord, please sit down, I want to go to meet my lord to discuss important matters."

It's better to meet by chance, just to discuss with the adults the order that the prince gave this time. ”

Detuobei, who had stayed up all night, had the heart to scold his mother, but Xu Fusheng didn't give him this opportunity.

He could only nod and said, "Master Ma, you said, if there is anything you command, the lower officials will do their best." ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point.

This time I came to Hotan City to deal with some commercial and financial bureau affairs on the orders of the prince, and I want to bring the large and small merchants and smugglers in Hotan City into our unified management.

At the same time, they have made a lot of money over the years, and it is time to rectify and rectify the business tax levied on this group of people. Xu Fusheng sipped his tea and said leisurely.

Totobei had known about the Department of Commerce and Finance, but he had never figured out what it did.

Now that I heard it, I understood what Xu Fusheng wanted to do, which was obviously a disguised way to collect money.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face and said: "Master Ma, it's not that the lower officials don't cooperate with you."

The main reason is that there are too many merchants in Hotan City, and once this kind of thing is openly taxed, I am afraid that it will provoke a rebellion among the people..."

Xu Fusheng nodded approvingly: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you, Lord County Shou, you have been in charge of Hetian City for many years.

Presumably, there must be a suitable way in my heart, and with your full cooperation, this order of the prince can be carried out.

Otherwise, once the people are provoked, you and I will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”

Totobei's head shook like a rattle, and he excused himself: "Master Ma, you are laughing, it's not that the subordinate officials don't carry out this order."

It's so difficult that the open taxation of business taxes has never appeared in the whole of southern Xinjiang.

Those merchants have more or less force in their hands, and if one is not handled carefully, you and I are afraid that we will all become sinners for the ages who have troubled southern Xinjiang. ”

Xu Fusheng's face suddenly sank and said, "Lord County Shou, do you mean that you plan to ignore the prince's orders?"

Totobei was silent for a while, and said resolutely: "Master Horse, it's not that the subordinate wants to disobey the order, it's really that once this task is not careful, it will shake the foundation of Southern Xinjiang, please think twice!"

Xu Fusheng paused, as if he was really thinking about the words of the deshelling.

After a moment, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey... I don't know the difficulty of carrying out this order of the prince.

It's just that the prince has just sat on the throne, and this first order can't be executed, and it will be even more difficult to do in the future. ”

Hearing Xu Fusheng's tone loosen, he couldn't help but raise his head and said, "It's not that the lower officials don't cooperate with you, it's really not easy to do."

If we can communicate with the Shengyuan Dynasty, we can also have a way to say about taxation, but there is nothing, and the impact of public taxation is indeed too bad. ”

Xu Fusheng nodded with a cooperative face and said, "It's still clear to the county guard, since this is the case, then the matter of taxation should be postponed for now."

There is one more thing, the county keeper must not shirk this time, if I can't even carry out this matter, then I can only resign from the position given by the prince. ”

As soon as he heard that the tax was suspended, he was relieved, and he drank tea and said: "What is the matter, please give me orders, as long as the officials can do it, they will do their best to cooperate." ”

"Although it can't be taxed, it is still necessary to manage these merchants in a unified manner, and the prince intends to let these merchants use the Nanjiang bills of exchange issued by the Nanjiang Money House in a unified manner.

This can not only save the efficiency of merchants' transactions, but also facilitate the management of these merchants who have no fixed residence. ”

Xu Fusheng seemed to have no choice but to finally throw out this question.

Tuobei hesitated a little and said: "It's not that this can't be done, but can this southern Xinjiang bill of exchange be recognized by major merchants?"

"Therefore, it is necessary to let some influential businessmen take the lead in using it before it can be implemented.

This matter must be carried out only if you ascend to the heights of the county guard. Xu Fusheng said earnestly.

He still can't understand the significance of Xu Fusheng's implementation of the Southern Xinjiang bills of exchange, but he can't refuse Xu Fusheng several times.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke: "This matter can be discussed with the squires from all over the country.

It's just that as soon as the lower officials heard that you entered the city, they let people besiege Lankur's mansion.

This Blue Cour is the leader of these traders, and you can see if you can get him to work with you to do what you want. ”

Xu Fusheng glanced at the county guard with great meaning, and said, "The county guard's suggestion is feasible.

Then I'll arrange for someone to withdraw the law enforcement team of the Commercial Finance Bureau. ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Ling'er's voice outside the door sounded: "Donkey, those people have confessed." They were all instructed by Lankur to assassinate you.

These people's confessions have been signed and drawn, what do you think will happen next?"

After handing over a bunch of confessions, asking for some of these confessions by the means of the shadow guard, it is not easy to catch.

Tuo Bei looked at the confession with a pale face, knowing that Feng Ling'er and Xu Fusheng were cooperating in acting, but he still couldn't do it.

I saw that Xu Fusheng, who was still kind and pleasant just now, was furious.

"Smack. Xu Fusheng slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"This Lankur is really bold enough to openly assassinate my southern Xinjiang officials.

If you don't give them some color, they don't know whose world this southern Xinjiang province is.

Arrest Lankur for me, check, check to the end, and see if there is anyone behind it.

I want to see who is so bold as to be disrespectful to our prince and princess. ”

After an angry scolding, a few hats were buttoned down, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the detachment.

knew that Xu Fusheng was using the topic to play, but he still had no choice, who let the family have so many confessions.

After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke: "The nature of this matter is too bad, you are in danger in Hotan City.

It is difficult for the lower officials to escape the blame, so it is better to hand over the people to the lower officials for trial. The lower official must give a satisfactory explanation to the horse. ”

In this era, it is not so clear who should be in charge of law enforcement, and the detachment can only be discussed with this angry horse master.

Xu Fusheng paused deliberately, his index finger and middle finger were slightly buckled, and his knuckles gently tapped on the tabletop:

"Supposedly I have no right to deal with this matter, but these people are really too deceitful by these people.

However, since the county keeper has spoken, the horse is not good to say anything, so let the following people be handed over to the county guard.

As for the Lankul family, without finding out if there is anyone behind it, let my people be imprisoned.

My lord, what do you think of this?"

He wanted to say something more, but he still closed his mouth when he looked at Xu Fusheng's gloomy eyes.

In the case of a confession, holding Lankur is the reason for the knife, and whoever the blade points at is whoever it is.

If he can't let this horse master get the result he wants, then it's really hard to say who can bite out who commanded it.

After all, people are in the hands of others, and this master has the final say.

In addition, this horse master has so many strong men and horses, even if he really fights hard, he may not be able to do anything to this master.

Let's go back and figure out how to meet the pony's request.

Sending away the shellfish, the corners of Xu Fusheng's mouth pulled a playful arc.

With the card of Lankur in hand, who you want to move next in Hotan City depends on your mood, even if it is this indigenous county guard.

Xu Fusheng, who was a little proud, turned his head to look at Feng Ling'er and said, "Let the shadow guard control all the Lankuer family for me, don't touch him yet."

There's a lot to do to keep him, but don't let him die, or see anyone. ”

Lin Huiyu exhaled lightly and sighed: "Wouldn't this be too ruthless, Lan Kuer's family is innocent after all." ”

Xu Fusheng paused, nodded and said, "I know what you're thinking, there's nothing to be sorry for."

If he doesn't cooperate, I'm going to think of this result, you can send someone to take care of his family, the child will definitely not be able to stay, and you can take care of the others yourself.

Tell Mayila to take someone to raid all of Lankul's family business, and talk to the county guard so that he can send someone to help.

Starting tomorrow, I want all the properties in Lankuer's name to be owned by Nanjiang Qianzhuang. ”

Lin Huiyu nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since the incident in Jinyang City back then.

She couldn't guess Xu Fusheng's thoughts, you never knew what he was going to do next.

Early the next morning, a group of fully armed soldiers and garrisons, and the people of the Yamen of Hotan City went straight to the property in the name of Lankur.

Almost sweeping the house to clean up, a seal signed by Xu Fusheng of the Commercial and Financial Bureau sealed the door.

A gust of wind blew throughout Hotan City, hundreds of people were arrested, hundreds of thousands of silver coins were confiscated, and hundreds of thousands of properties were instantly confiscated.

For a time, the merchants and underground forces in the entire southern Xinjiang Province became nervous.

They had already heard some rumors, and it was rumored that the head of the Commercial and Financial Bureau was a colt from Southern Xinjiang.

This time I came to Nanjiang Province to rectify the business environment and collect taxes from these merchants.

There was an urgent move by a huge force behind him, and those with a small fortune hurriedly used their connections to inquire about various rumors, and some businessmen with no background quietly left Hotan City.

Xu Fusheng didn't care about this, let them be suspicious, and passed on this panic.
