Chapter 324: Road Tax

Who will forget about the prince? At least for a few decades, this is the most important event in the Southern Ming Kingdom and the most important topic for the people to talk about after dinner.

Cui Siyuan was ashamed, and arched his hand: "Please wait a moment, Shaojun." ”

After saying that, he ordered someone to move out a few god-breaking crossbows and surround the whole room.

I wanted to shout a few more times before releasing the arrows, so that the people inside would quickly surrender, but when I saw a pair of cold eyes from Tiansin, I swallowed that sentence directly, and with a wave of my hand, ten thousand arrows were fired!

The people inside didn't believe it at all, and let go of the arrows? Crazy? In this Dawan City, in broad daylight, they dare to kill people? It's nothing more than scaring and scaring people.

But...... When the godbreaker crossbow pierced directly through the wooden wall and rushed into the room, everyone was stunned.

A few people bore the brunt of the crossbow arrows directly pierced, and the rest reacted and hurriedly tried to resist, but the crossbow arrows were too close, and it was this cruel god-breaking crossbow, how could they resist lightly?!

Only three of them, the quickest to react, and ...... Most simply, he pounced on an old man sitting firmly in the middle, and used his shield and body to resist.

After a rain of swords, Heavenly Sin raised his hand and stopped.

The old man gently brushed aside the three corpses beside him, his face was blue and his eyes were blood-red.

"Su Tiansin!!"

Tiansin tilted his head, sneered and said: "Who am I, it turns out to be our Nanming Fu General, how about it, do you regret coming here to make trouble?" ”

He walked into the room almost without care, there was a dead man in front of him, kicked it away, pulled a table and sat opposite Fu Pingbo.

In fact, from the very beginning of the trouble, Tiansin knew that someone wanted to force himself to show up. The first is that the other party knows about their itinerary, the second is that they have some secret things they want to talk to them, and finally, they ...... I also want to give myself a dismount so as to influence some kind of deal.

But the other party was wrong, Heavenly Sin is a face-loving person, and he is also a person who must keep face, and one of his compromises will be spread throughout the continent within a day, becoming the source of everyone's starting to learn from him.

Fu Pingbo looked at the guards who had followed him for many years, and his face changed again and again.

In the end, he chuckled and said, "It seems that Master Hou has understood the old man's intention." ”

Heavenly Sin spread his hands and said: "If you have anything to say, no one here dares to eavesdrop." ”

Fu Pingbo sighed and said: "The old man heard that there is a popular saying on the mainland now, which is called * eggs can't be put in the same basket, I heard that it is the golden sentence of Hou Ye, I don't know if Hou Ye's basket can put down our Fu family's eggs?" ”

Heavenly Sin hesitated.

General Fu is one of the oldest families in the Southern Ming Kingdom, and his current power is also the top three in the Southern Ming Dynasty, which is no worse than other princes.

Especially Fu Pingbo himself controls half of the army of Nanming, and has a good relationship with some princes, to be honest, the prince was very close to him at the beginning, and now that the prince has changed, the biggest loss seems to be this Fu family, so Fu Pingbo must resist the suspicion of the lord of the country to have a showdown with the heavenly sin as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether it can be negotiated or not, Fu Pingbo's weight in the country lord will inevitably be lighter.

So on the contrary, the heavenly sin is more hesitant.

The first point is that he doesn't know if Fu Pingbo, the old fox, is a trick with the lord of the country to let himself drill.

The second point is that Fu Pingbo's forces are ...... for Heavenly Sins It's chicken ribs, dispensable.

The third point, if Fu Pingbo comes to show his intentions, and you don't accept him, then who else in Nanming Kingdom dares to come to you?

Fu Pingbo used his family's future to force Heavenly Sin onto an embarrassing path.

That's what Heavenly Sin hated the most, but he really had to think about it.

"Information...... Not enough. ”

Heavenly sin spoke up.

Fu Pingbo said with a smile: "Before the Hou Ye makes a decision, I hope the Hou Ye can listen to the old man again, our Fu family is not the only way to go with the military." ”

Tiansin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Fu Pingbo said: "Nanming has three major business groups, the first is naturally the 'Zhenlong Treasure Pavilion', which is all over the continent, has thirty percent of the continent's blade trading, and also sells secret treasures from all over the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first chamber of commerce in the mainland." The second is the 'Huai Shang', where several major families work together to set rules and send caravans that can walk the mainland. The third is the 'retail merchants', except for the first two, all the merchants belong to it, but more are peddlers, pawns, foot merchants, and the people see the most.

And our Fu family belongs to Huai Shang, and the old man is the current president of Huai Chamber of Commerce. ”

Tiansin was really surprised, he had heard of Huai Shang, and he also knew that his organization was actually very secretive, and some people even said that half of Nanming's spars were in the hands of Huai Shang, and he could really control the deposit of zhì currency. And the identity of its president is even more of a mystery.

He didn't expect that the chairman of the Divine Dragon who couldn't see the end turned out to be the current General Nanming! But think about it...... seems to be able to understand the truth, if there is no such status, how can it be possible to control the great Huaishang.

Tiansin nodded and said: "So Ben Hou understands, it turns out that you don't put your eggs in the same basket, or you don't want to make your majesty's side less, on the one hand, on the other hand, with money, um...... This is indeed a good way, and it also makes Ben Hou more decided. ”

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Old General Fu, what are you going to give to Ben Hou?" What do you want from Benhou? ”

Fu Pingbo laughed and said, "Master Hou is really happy." ”

The two of them talked very well, as if ...... It wasn't like being in a circle of corpses, the blood was flowing to their feet, congealing.

"The old man knows that Hou Ye is in urgent need of trade routes now, hehe, Hou Ye don't have any doubts, Hou Ye's methods in the Northern Qi Tianji Gate, there are few people who don't know in the Southern Ming. Since the Hou Ye needs it, and the old man can provide such a sound trade route, why not? ”

yes, why not?

After thinking about it, he didn't come up with anything harmful to himself.

Then he nodded and said: "It's easy to say, since you have a trade route and a soldier, Ben Hou hopes that you can use the post station to supplement the trade route, and Ben Hou allows you to collect a cent of tax on this trade road." ”

"This ......"

Fu Pingbo almost choked to death by his own smearing, he thought about all the conditions that the Heavenly Sin could give, but he still didn't expect that the Heavenly Sin would be like this...... Domineering!

Tax? Are you kidding? Who would dare to collect taxes except the local princes and His Majesty? What is a tax? Taxes are rights! To own a land of taxes is to own the land.

A cold sweat broke out on Fu Pingbo's forehead, and he said with a smile: "Master Hou is joking." ”

"Jokes?" Tiansin pursed his lips and said: "The least thing Ben Hou has done in this life is to joke, saying one is one and saying two is two, and spitting on the ground is a nail and smashing a pit." Say give you a tax, then give you a tax, but you have to do your best, after Ben Hou came back, I heard that the lord of the country is also very interested in this trade route, and is stepping up the arrangement of the official post, if he lets him connect the two roads, then there is nothing to do with you, oh yes, the official post is flawed, it is absolutely impossible to arrange it in the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but this point will not affect us, do you understand? ”

Fu Pingbo's face was full of horror.

He certainly knows how much energy it sounds like very little 'a penny' actually has.

One cent, is one hundredth, if it is a normal business route, the merchant will not go without ten times the profit, because it will take almost a year to walk, and the goods that can be carried are very small, and can only be supplemented by huge profits.

But if a sound trade route is formed, and there is no nuisance such as robbers and bandits, the profits will increase a lot, much more each time. If you don't have to pay 10 times the price, as long as you add 10 percent of the price, the money that the businessmen make in a year is the same as the 10 times the price, and the net profit is the same.

And one cent of the tax is to take one percent directly from this profit, which is equivalent to a net one-tenth of the net profit of each businessman!

Not to mention supporting a family, even if it is enough to raise a million-level army.

Heavenly Sin asked again, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Fu Pingbo smiled bitterly: "Really...... Can this be done? ”

Heavenly Sin said: "You just have to do it!" ”

Fu Pingbo's expression trembled, then he stood up suddenly, saluted the heavenly sin, and said loudly: "If this matter can be done, whether it is business or the military, I will only look forward to the Hou Ye of the Fu family!" ”

Heavenly Sin stood up and said, "Well, you can leave if there's nothing to do." ”

Fu Pingbo really left, he walked fast, he was in a hurry, he hated to grow wings and fly to the business road to quickly pave a road to the sky.

Xiao Jian walked to Tiansin's side, pulled him back to the box on the second floor, and said as he walked: "Xiao Tian, it seems risky to be too close to the powerful people of the current dynasty like this, right?" ”

"Naturally, there is a risk, but it is impossible for us not to touch, the place where the butt sits is big, it is inevitable that we will encounter nails and sawdust to stab you, but you can't help but sit, right?" Still, I chose the more effective and safer method. ”

Xiaojian asked, "What method?" ”

Heavenly Sin laughed and said: "I want to build a big ship, a very big ship, let all the people around me get on the boat and drive it together, if there is danger one day, this ship will break, and everyone will sink into the sea and drown." So I just have to build the ship, and as for its maintenance...... Hehe, I believe that those who stand on the ship in a daze will be more anxious than me, and will be more able to repair it than I am. ”

Xiao Jian covered his mouth and smiled: "Xiaotian, you are so bad!" But...... You said you were going to show me something, didn't you...... Can you take a look at it later? ”

Heavenly Sin laughed for a while, and reached out to hold the little sword into his arms, or ...... He burrowed into the other's arms himself.

"You'll be pleasantly surprised, it's definitely good, hehehe......"

……

Not to mention that Heavenly Sin just grew up and wanted to play hooligan, just to say that in the entire continent, a place that has just set off a huge wave but is immediately forgotten by everyone has begun to brew a conspiracy.

West.

The defeat of the Thirteenth Prince, the current Lord of the Western Kingdom, did not bring him the 'disaster' he expected, on the contrary, it gave him a chance.
