Chapter 581 - Right in the Middle

Chapter 581 is right in the middle

Xia Xun left the shogunate in a hurry because something he had been waiting for for a long time happened in Hada City: someone made trouble.

Xia Xun had long found that with the prosperity of Hada City and the concentration of a large amount of wealth, something would inevitably happen, and he looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to this day.

The reason for the incident is very simple, the Mongolian tribes of the Wurigeng Dalai Lama are large exporters of goods, and the commodities have to be purchased in a centralized manner through the city of Hada, and then transported to the coast of Jinzhou through the city of Kaiyuan. The manager of Hada City is the Magurkhun of the Jurchen Temur tribe, and the Magurhun is both the manager and the largest operator.

In this way, the people of the Temur tribe both managed and operated, and had to adopt different policies towards the merchants of the tribe and other tribes, so that when the "points" were collected, the people of the two tribes clashed, and then the two tribes fought fiercely.

The backstage of the Temur tribe is the 30,000 Weidu Si Pei Yishi Temur, and the backstage of the Wurigeng Dalai tribe is the Qinggeltai of Tielingwei, and the power is evenly matched, but the Temur tribe has always occupied the identity of the administrator of Hada City, and the strength is stronger.

The Temur tribe both manages and operates, and has a lot of favoritism towards the fighting tribes, which has caused the dissatisfaction of other tribes, large and small, as soon as the two sides clash, the long-accumulated resentment broke out, and the other tribes have sided with the Urigendara to denounce the Temur tribe, and some Mongolian tribes are directly involved in the war and are involved in this big melee, and the Jurchen tribes are congenitally opposed to the operators because of Magurhun's managerial status, so there are not many people who directly help him.

The conflict between the two tribes attracted the attention of Tielingwei and Sanwanwei, because the soldiers of these two guards were mainly composed of people from these two tribes.

Fortunately, this time is different from the past, Xia Xun, the governor of Liaodong, is becoming more and more authoritative, Pei Yishit Mur and Qing Ge Tai did not dare to touch his tiger whiskers, so they suppressed their subordinates and sent someone to report to Xia Xun and ask him to uphold justice. If it was before, Shen Yong, the capital of Liaodong, had always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards the Kaiyuan area, and the two guards and horses had already directly participated in the war, and the situation would have evolved into a big melee between the tribes.

When Xia Xun and his people hurried to Hada City, they saw that the market was in disarray, many goods were thrown on the ground, and there were many angry people with weapons in hand, most of these people were disheveled, with wounds on their bodies, and on the ground behind them, there were some seriously injured or dead clansmen. Qinggeltai and Pei Yishit Mur took the Tieling Guard and the men and horses of the 30,000 Guards, and blocked these groups with a gun array.

The two of them pressed the situation on the one hand, and on the other hand, they scolded each other and hurt each other, although the two were excluded by other Han people before, and they had a good friendship under the same illness and sympathy, but the clansmen who beat were bullied by the other party's people, and that friendship was not enough.

As soon as they saw Xia Xun arrive, the two sides were greatly relieved, and immediately hulala surrounded a group of people and complained to Xia Xun in a gossipy manner.

"Don't be noisy"

Xia Xun roared, and the position on the scene was abrupt, right? sound, Xia Xun swept around, who did it first? ”

Magulhun immediately said that he was a person from the Dalai Lama."

Xia Xun turned to the Dalai Lama and asked, "Why did he beat people?" ”

The Dalai Lama immediately turned his head and asked a man next to him, why did he beat someone? ”

When the Dalai Lama arrived in a hurry, the clansmen who had beaten him had already started with people, and when he saw that the situation was urgent, he drew his knife and went on, and he had not yet figured out what was going on, and when he saw Xia Xun asking with a calm face, the Dalai Lama was also a little scared, and hurriedly asked his nephew Amu Gulang, who he sent to Hada City to buy goods.

Amu Gulang was stabbed in the arm, and at this moment he had pulled some strips of cloth and wrapped them indiscriminately, holding a bloody knife in his hand, and he was angry and said that Lord Dao You, you ask them, are they taking points? The official lottery points are drawn for six coins of silver for a gelding, two cents for a piece of mink skin, five cents for a pound of silver for ginseng, one cent for honey for silver, one cent for fungus for silver, three points for a bucket of silver for pine nuts, one cent for fifteen pounds of silver for mushrooms, and two cents for otter skin......"

Liaodong does not have the conditions to implement treasure money now, and if economic affairs are forcibly regulated by the political regime, it is beneficial, right? harm, so Liaodong now settles commodities mainly in kind and silver. This Amu Gulang has been in business for a long time, and the proportion of points (taxes) stipulated by the Ming Dynasty is very well memorized.

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the people on Magulhun's side, and shouted angrily, and the people of their clan demanded more than twice as much money from us as the official lottery, what is the reason? ”

"Huh?"

Xia Xun's face sank again, and he glared coldly at Magurhun, who hurriedly complained to Lord Dao Shoubutang, we were appointed by the imperial court to manage Hada City on our behalf, but we have never dared to levy and extort violently. Now the situation is that the business of Hatta City is thriving day by day, and many merchants from near and far have come here to trade, and some people have come from afar, right? If you need to buy many sons to return, you will have to stay here for several days.

Some people want to stay as brokers and do business, but they can't stay. Who cares about these people? Drinkers who make trouble, who fight, who steal chickens and dogs, who molest women, are unbearable. Right? However, I have to hire some people to clean up the market and maintain order, and these people naturally have to be paid for their work, so where does the money come from? ”

Xia Xun touched his nose and smiled at the Dalai Lama, and what Magurhun said is also reasonable, since you need to hire someone to manage it, you naturally need to pay some wages, everyone comes here to trade, and everyone will naturally pay this money. ”

Wurigen Dalai Lama Daoist Division, you don't know how much goods come in and out of Hada City every day, such a large amount, only a little draw, enough to pay wages, why do you need so much? If the people of this Temur tribe take the opportunity to collect more taxes and some of the more for themselves, if the ministry does not believe it, just ask the people of these many tribes, is this so? ”

Of course, the managers of the Temur tribe could not have such a high ideological consciousness, the power was in the hands of the thugs, and the taxes that should be collected from the beaters were actually confiscated, and for other tribes, sometimes the points were increased by fifty percent, and there were many people who filled their own pockets, and there were very few people who were honest and self-controlled.

In the past, the business here was not prosperous, so the extra tax was not much, everyone could still bear it, now the business is getting more and more prosperous, their greed is getting bigger and bigger, the cargo throughput is large, each piece of goods is more than a few percent, this total amount has reached an amazing point, who is willing to give so much wealth to others?

Xia Xun listened, turned to Magurhun again, and sank his face and said to all the people, Magurhun, is there such a thing? ”

Magul panicked, one of his clansmen saw this and hurriedly helped, and said unscrupulously, Lord Hand, we don't draw more points, now there are more people selling goods, and the Han merchants who opened the original took the opportunity to lower the price, bought goods from them cheaply and had defenders along the way, asking for bribes, if he didn't answer to his satisfaction, the door would either not be opened, or it would be opened late, and the goods in and out of the goods would be inspected and made a mess, right? Law delivery. We...... We have no choice but to do it. ”

Xia Xun secretly laughed in his heart, and more and more people were torn in. ”

He turned to Liaodu to command Zhang Jun, and said in a deep voice Zhang Jun, can the officers and soldiers of the guards extort bribes? ”

Zhang Jun immediately jumped out, Zhen Zhen resigned, and had his own explanation, Magurhun couldn't stop it, and the clansmen who beat him had already said that the Han official asked for bribes, right? Nai Xia simply turned his heart sideways, tore his face and reasoned with him, and the two insisted on one another, arguing so much that his face was red, arguing back and forth, and pulling out the Han businessman who was responsible for the transportation and operation from Kaiyuan to Jinzhou.

The Han merchant had a shop similar to an agency in Hada City, and the shopkeeper was watching the excitement with great interest, and he was suddenly dragged in without beware.

These Han businessmen are all composed of Han families and families of Liaodong generals and schools in Liaodong, they have a tough background, and lack of supervision, how can they be so conscious, willing to operate in accordance with the law, anyway, the sales channels are in their hands, so they lower the price, buy cheaply and sell expensively, that is often happening.

However, to say that the people of the Temur tribe forcibly collected such high bribes from other tribes were all to pass on the losses they used to bribe and the Han merchants to lower prices, but it was not, and the Han merchant boss also had real evidence in his hands, so he also argued with reason and quarreled with others.

This Luo circle is like the inexplicable, inexplicable triangular debt, various tribes quarrel like a marquee in front of Xia Xun, each has its own fault, quarreling back and forth, everyone's buttocks are not clean, and this dung is getting more and more smelly.

"Shut it all"

Xia Xun roared again, and shouted in a deep voice, this governor has already understood, you have your own problems, it seems that you can't help but rectify it, otherwise the good situation created by this governor will be ruined in your hands sooner or later.

Xia Xun pointed to the Han merchants, and said in a loud voice, the reason why you can wantonly lower the price, buy cheaply and sell expensively, is because you buy and sell at a high price, and without you, no matter how many goods there are in this Hada City, they can't become the materials and property that the departments want, so you want, right? I am afraid that it is very easy to solve this problem, from now on, cancel your privileges of unified purchase and sales, and all the ministries can hand over the goods to you for sale, or you can transport the goods to Jinzhou on your own, and find export merchants on your own, and everyone can eat according to their ability."

Xia Xun's tone changed, and he said again, of course, since the privilege of your unified purchase and sales has been canceled, you can also collect goods from other tribes on your own, and then transfer them for sale. ”

The Han merchant was startled at first, and after listening to Xia Xun's second sentence, his mind turned back to his hand, and the guards he passed through along the way were all our army, and they had an innate advantage over them in transportation, and then allowed us to purchase goods from the departments on our own, right? If you need to pass through Hada City, maybe the benefits will be greater, so where are you afraid of him? So he nodded in agreement.

Xia Xun also said to Magul Hun that your ministry is both operating and managing, and using power for personal gain, it is inevitable, and it is no wonder that it will be criticized by all departments, and now this official gives you a choice, either your clan voluntarily gives up the management right of Hada City and specializes in management in the future, or, gives up the right to operate and specializes in management, which one do you choose? ”
