The second patrol envoy was in the middle hall of the office of Haiyuan City, Ye Zhen sat on the main seat in the center, and the second patrol envoy Liu Feng sat in the first place on the left side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Guo Zhang, the monarch of the Haiyuan Marquis, and Xu Shi, the prime minister, sat on Ye Zhen's right side.

This situation looks a little weird, after all, in this middle hall, the most noble person should be Guo Zhang, the monarch of the Marquis of Haiyuan.

But in terms of seating, it is not as good as Liu Feng, the deputy envoy of the second road patrol.

The establishment of a feudal kingdom is the most desired reward for all princes and nobles, which means that they will truly become the lord of a country.

However, in the final analysis, we have to rely on strength.

If they don't have strong strength, they will be like grandsons when they encounter the yamen who govern them.

That is to say, it has only been seven or eight years since the establishment of the Haiyuan Marquis State, and the foundation is too shallow, if it is changed to a feudal country that has been sealed for a hundred years, Ye Zhen will not be able to be so strong.

Of course, Ye Zhen is so strong today, mainly because he is taking advantage of the reason and grasping the reason for the sore spot of the Haiyuan Marquis.

"Ye Xunfeng, the previous incident was really a misunderstanding, and I ask Ye Xunfeng to forgive me. ”

As he spoke, Prime Minister Xu Shi had already presented a full jade plate with both hands.

"Ye Xunfeng Envoy, this is the control token of the Ancient Shift Array in Haiyuan City, and the Spirit Stone Warehouse Token of the Ancient Shift Array in Haiyuan City.

There are also the accounts of the ancient mobile movement formation of Haiyuan City for nearly ten years, as well as the formation token and a response talisman of the ancient mobile movement formation guarding the military camp of Haiyuan City. Prime Minister Xu Shi said.

Looking at the token account books and warrants that were sent out, Guo Zhang, the Marquis of Haiyuan, was a little painful.

Ye Zhen motioned for Liu Feng to take over the inventory and verification, and the prime minister of the Marquis of Haiyuan spoke again.

"This incident is really a misunderstanding, in order to make amends to Ye Xunfeng, my Haiyuan Marquis specially prepared a gift list, and I also asked Ye Xunfeng to smile. As he spoke, Prime Minister Xu Shi sent a gift list again.

The gift list is very long, and the value of things seems to be very high.

Ye Zhen looked at it carefully, and the first place was ten high-grade Nian Ling Pills, one thousand middle-grade Nian Ling Pills, and ten thousand lower-grade Nian Ling Pills, with a total value of more than 210,000 high-grade spirit stones.

This was followed by ten water attribute spirit stones, one thousand medium grade spirit stones, and ten thousand lower grade spirit stones, with a total value of 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.

The third item is the spirit stone, one hundred top-grade spirit stones, 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, etc., and the total value is also 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Then there are some valuable ores, natural treasures, elixirs, etc., about a hundred kinds of them.

Then there are some rare luxury goods, such as 100 catties of top-level jade cotton, ten sets of palace tableware, and so on.

After reading the gift list, Ye Zhen nodded lightly, and was quite satisfied with this gift list.

Basically, the total value of this gift list is more than one million high-grade spirit stones, which can be regarded as a heavy gift.

"Ye Xunfeng envoy, this gift list is only this year, from this year onwards, there will be such a routine gift sent to the house every year, and I also ask Ye Xunfeng to take care of our Haiyuan Marquis in the future. Prime Minister Xu Shi said.

"Well said. ”

Prime Minister Xu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Ye Xunfeng is really magnificent, so those important ministers of my Haiyuan Marquis, Ye Xunfeng is not .......?"

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Xu Shi smiled bitterly, "Many important ministers are busy with affairs, if they don't deal with affairs, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Haiyuan will be chaotic." ”

Ye Zhen was not in a hurry to agree, his fingers slowly knocked on the table in front of him, and said slowly, "We have several caravans in Beihai County, and there is also a fleet to and from Beihai, I am afraid that we will often dock in the Haiyuan Marquis in the future." ”

"This ......."

Prime Minister Xu Shi smiled bitterly when he heard this, but when he saw Ye Zhen's unhappy expression, he hurriedly replied, "For Ye Xunfeng's caravan, our Haiyuan Marquis can be exempted from all commercial taxes.

However, a duty-free amount must be agreed in advance, and each time you cross customs, you have to undergo normal checks. ”

Seeing that Ye Zhen frowned, Prime Minister Xu Shi hurriedly explained, "Ye Xunfeng, setting a tax-free quota is a common method for many feudal countries.

Because if there is no tax-free quota, many small caravans will be attached to the caravans that can be tax-exempt, causing huge losses to the feudal country.

Of course, we believe that Lord Ye would never do such a thing.

However, the management of the caravan in ordinary times must be handled by the chief steward below, and if there is no tax-free quota, it is inevitable that there will be people below who will take advantage of the loopholes.

However, considering that the scale of the caravan under Ye Xunfeng's command increased in the future, after the tax-free quota was exhausted, all the caravans and fleet taxes of Ye Xunfeng's envoy were only levied at eighty percent.

However, this 80% levy cannot exceed the original tax exemption amount.......

In addition, Lord Ye's caravan and fleet will have priority for customs clearance. ”

Prime Minister Xu Shi flipped through the detailed rules, saying that there was no leakage, so that Ye Zhen couldn't help but appreciate a little, this Prime Minister Xu Shi of the Marquis of Haiyuan is really a talent.

"Since this is the case, then do what Prime Minister Xu said. ”

Although there are many detailed rules for the prime minister of Haiyuan, it still opens the door to convenience.

Ye Zhen estimated that according to the current situation, it would be able to save Beihai County hundreds of thousands of high-grade stones in commercial taxes a year, which was not bad.

In particular, the right of priority customs clearance can make Ye Zhen's fleet transactions more rapid.

"Then those officials of my Haiyuan Marquis .......," Prime Minister Xu Shi said again.

This time, Ye Zhen did not answer Prime Minister Xu Shi, but ordered Liu Feng to hand a list to Guo Zhang, the monarch of the Haiyuan Marquis.

"Ye Xunfeng envoy, this list?" Guo Zhang was a little puzzled.

"Guo Houjun, among the courtiers who were arrested in the Haiyuan Marquis Kingdom, most of them can be released after paying a little fine, but several on this list must be severely punished. Ye Zhen said.

Hearing this, Guo Zhang, the monarch of the Haiyuan Marquis, was stunned, the first in line was the general of their Haiyuan Marquis, and the second lord was the son of their prime minister Xu Shi.

"Ye Xunfeng envoy, the general of my Haiyuan Marquis is ......."

As soon as Ye Zhen waved his hand, he directly interrupted the words of Guo Zhang, the Marquis of Haiyuan, "Guo Houjun, there are some crimes, Ye can turn a blind eye and go over, but there are some crimes, Ye can't sit idly by." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi and Guo Zhang's expressions froze at the same time.

"Not to mention the Great General of the Haiyuan Marquis Kingdom's private possession of the forbidden weapon Flame Spirit Explosive Demon Crossbow, we also found the Heaven Breaking Dragon Crossbow in his arsenal.

Ye must report this, otherwise if someone from above investigates it, even Ye can't afford it. ”

Guo Zhang, the monarch of the Marquis of Haiyuan, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Prime Minister Xu Shi, and finally could only sigh a long time, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Ye Zhen's approach.

"In addition, the second son of Prime Minister Xu Cheng did evil and robbed the people's daughter, and he must be severely punished. In addition, officials who have been wrongfully imprisoned by the Criminal Department must also be severely punished in accordance with the law......," Ye Zhen said.

"The old man is ashamed! He must be severely punished according to the law. Prime Minister Xu Shi said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen nodded slowly.

He only has the right to inspect the heavens, but does not have the right to handle cases, and these officials specially pointed out, except for the general of the Haiyuan Marquis, can only be dealt with by the Haiyuan Houguo.

When Ye Zhen said this at this time, he was basically putting pressure on him.

And the pressure, first, is to do justice, and second, it is to deter, showing the presence of their second patrol envoy.

With the monarchs and ministers of the Haiyuan Marquis sending Ye Zhen a satisfactory explanation, this time the Haiyuan Marquis of the ancient transfer formation is over.

The harvest is still quite gratifying, even greater than Ye Zhen imagined at the beginning.

Especially the annual gift of one million high-grade spirit stones every year in the Marquis of Haiyuan.

Basically, as long as Ye Zhen has been patrolling the Marquis of Haiyuan, this New Year's gift will continue.

No wonder those patrols who govern the feudal country have made them rich one by one, and Ye Zhen only knew the answer today.

Of course, this New Year's gift does not belong to Ye Zhen alone, but to the entire Second Road Patrol.

According to the rules, Ye Zhen can take half of this New Year's gift, and the remaining 500,000 high-grade spirit stones will also be divided according to different positions, basically everyone has a share.

What surprised Ye Zhen even more was that after checking the account books of the Ancient Relocation Array of the Haiyuan Marquis, he found that the income of the Ancient Relocation Array of the Haiyuan Marquis was much more than they estimated.

Most of the ancient shifting formations, removing the consumption of transfer, the annual income is about 10 million high-grade spirit stones, and seventy percent is handed over to the national treasury.

However, because of the reason of the sea, the caravans came and went a lot, and the annual income was as high as about fifteen million spirit stones.

In this case, after handing over seventy percent to the national treasury, there will still be a surplus of about 450,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Of the 4.5 million high-grade spirit stones, half of them belonged to Ye Zhen according to the rule, and the other half was divided by the big and small officials of the Heaven Survey Division.

Basically, there were more than two million high-grade spirit stones that could fall into Ye Zhen's hands.

Counting the annual gift of the Marquis of Shanghai, Ye Zhen's private income has increased by nearly three million high-grade spirit stones this year.

If he were to be replaced by other wind patrol envoys, the income of these three million high-grade spirit stones would eventually fall into his hands, and he might not even have one million high-grade spirit stones.

The reason is simple.

Other patrol envoys also have to give New Year's gifts to their respective top bosses, and even the chief envoys and deputy envoys of the patrol yamen have to prepare a generous gift.

It's conventional.

If you send it like this, you won't be able to leave too much in your pocket.

But Ye Zhen here, there is no need to go to the west to hunt and wash the eternals, let alone give gifts to the subordinate officials of the West Patrol Yamen.

These nearly three million top-grade spirit stones can be regarded as pure income.

And this time the conflict with the Marquis of Haiyuan once again exposed the shortcomings of the strength of Beihai County and the Second Road Wind Patrol Envoy.

The overall strength is still not enough, and there is no sharp knife power.

But with these nearly 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, Ye Zhen could carry out a plan that had been unconditionally implemented.
