Two carriages and more than a dozen fast horses drove out of Qingzhou City, and in the last carriage, sat the Goryeo envoy Park Dayou.

Now he is still dizzy, last month, in Dengzhou, by the local wealthy family under a bunch of villagers with knives slashed, fortunately he ran fast, only to escape death, only to learn later, this land much larger than Goryeo has been just by his subordinates to establish the "King of Qi" lord rule, the country is located in Yanzhou.

He can be valued by the head of the family to envoy to the Central Plains, because he can speak the Central Plains, and he also understands the history of the Central Plains and various interests, so he begged all the way to Yanzhou and went to the government to tell.

After that, he was taken to meet several high-ranking officials, and then he was arranged to live in a post house.

A few days later, he met the "envoy" who was now leading him around.

said that he was taking him to Dengzhou to ask for tribute, but I don't know why, he was brought to this place called Qingzhou, he himself was ordered to stay in the post house, I don't know where the envoy went, and he came to take him away after a few days of chaos here.

I don't know where I'm going to be taken to hang out.

However, this is not up to him, the envoy is followed by the servants, all of them are as strong as calves, they are afraid that they can kill themselves with just one punch, and they are all murderous, they have been in battle for a long time at a glance, and people feel hairy when they look at them, where is there room for people to resist?

At this time, in the carriage in front of him, Lu Ning was sitting and tasting the candied fruit taken out of the Old Lady's Mansion, and shook his head: "Eating candied fruit, it's still sweet enough to be delicious, right?" Although, I don't like sweets. ”

In the carriages on the left and right, there are large and small peaches, in fact, ninety percent of the candied fruit will be distributed to the two of them when they get on the train, and the so-called secret method concocted by the old lady Yao is naturally not interested in Lu Ning, so he wants it for his two greedy little beauties.

The big and small peaches listened to Lu Ning's words, and they all tried their best to nod their little heads, candied fruit, of course, the sweeter the better.

Nowadays, the big and small peaches have also been promoted from the secretary to the secretary, and the female official of the sixth grade, but the two little girls just feel that they are very happy and happy with the master, and the female official is not a female official, and the grade is not of the grade, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.

Not only the big and small peaches, but also the servants in the house are also rising, of course, there are still a few female officials who can mix with the ranks.

At this moment, the four big and small swords and maids who were riding horses and following the carriage were all registered as the palms and were the female officials of the ninth grade.

Lu Ning came to Dengzhou, not only to see the old lady of medicine to show grace and ask questions.

He had always had the idea of expanding the powder field and actually teaching apprentices to mill and make gunpowder.

But in the past, it was only in the East China Sea, which was naturally not feasible, just like trying it with his own knife and using some gunpowder, he was asked for by King Yan.

When I was in the East China Sea, there was a secret room in the firecracker field, and when I was free, I would hide in it to make gunpowder, but the amount was not large.

Now, you can think about this matter carefully, just like the artillery for attacking and defending the city, it can be cast now, but the power is just the size.

It really didn't work, so I used bronze casting cannons, but the cost was a bit high.

Lu Ning planned to put this gunpowder field and firearms field in Qingzhou, in the hinterland of Qilu, and he also wanted to come to inspect it.

Moreover, this Qilu silk weaving is extremely famous, Yanzhou has mirror flower silk, Qingzhou has fairy pattern silk, that is, Guo Rong, is also ready to set up a brocade institute in Qingzhou, but he died before he succeeded, and he had to find a way to see if he could slowly make a large-capacity textile field.

Moreover, now in Dengzhou, a one-stop tax law, I also happened to come to find the old lady of medicine and learn from the experience.

It is not a lie that there is an old man in the family and there is a treasure.

Governing such a large territory, he can't do whatever he wants as he did in the past, otherwise, at most, he will be a big-sized Chu overlord who is more bullish than the Chu overlord.

Dengzhou, the old lady of medicine, the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, originally controlled Dengzhou, and the old lady was naturally very familiar with Dengzhou affairs.

The old lady is in Qiludi, and he is also very popular.

However, after talking about the one-stop tax law and giving the medicine to the old lady in detail, the old lady immediately knelt down and said that he would strictly abide by this law and pay taxes if there were unfilial people in his descendants, and the king of Qi would only punish him severely.

The old lady of Yao's family, in Qingzhou, also has a large number of farmland estates.

Speaking of Dengzhou again, when asked about the Bi family in Dengzhou, the old lady of medicine knew everything.

The Bi family has been breeding in Dengzhou for a long time, and there have been several Dengzhou assassins in the previous dynasty.

The largest family of the Bi family in Dengzhou is in Wendeng County, which was originally the Dengzhou Governor's Office, but later the Dengzhou Governor's Office was moved to Penglai County.

Today's Bi family in Wendeng County, the most prominent is the family of a county prince in the previous dynasty, and now Wang Bo'an, the assassin of Dengzhou, is the son-in-law of his family.

Lu Ning talked to the old lady about the gunpowder field again, of course, Lu Ning just said that he wanted to build a firecracker field, but the firecracker gunpowder is also very easy to ignite, so the place should be large, and there should be room for garrison defense.

After all, a section of the city wall in Qingzhou had collapsed by gunpowder, and the old lady Yao might have easily guessed it, but naturally pretended to be confused, and even patted his chest to ensure that the site selection was handed over to him, and it was foolproof.

After a few days of secret talks with the old lady Yao, Lu Ning left Qingzhou.

The next goal is Dengzhou.

In fact, there was no such thing as the killing of the Goryeo envoy, and Lu Ning also wanted to go to Dengzhou to have a look.

Dengzhou Port, and Khitan, Goryeo, more convenient, Lu Ning wants to see how it and the East Sea Port to form a linkage.

Moreover, the craftsmen from Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places who were originally secretly recruited by Aladdin can come to Dengzhou, which could have built ships, but the scale is not large.

In this way, the East China Sea only focused on being a trading port and Dengzhou to develop a military port.

This has solved a big problem, and I originally felt that the small area of the East China Sea was overwhelmed by many of my development ideas.

While eating candied fruit, he pondered, and when he looked up, he saw that the big and small peaches were looking at him pitifully, only to find that he had eaten a lot of the candied fruit that was originally given to them, and then smiled: "When I have time, I will help you make some candied fruit, add sucrose, and make it sweet and greasy, then you children love to eat it." ”

Although I am a little discouraged that the owner always treats himself as a child, there are sweet and greasy candied fruits to eat, and the big and small peaches are happy little heads.

……

In Wendeng County, there are not many floating populations, so Lu Ning did not enter the city, and his own group is too eye-catching.

The news spread to Dengzhou, although the standard size of peaches around him is not so famous in this Qilu land, but if Wang Bo'an, the assassin of Dengzhou, can't think of anything strange in it, it is too brainless.

When I was in Qingzhou, I received a secret report that the one-stop tax decree was issued to all states and counties, which really caused great resistance, and even some local heroes in the states and counties were ready to jointly write a letter asking King Qi to revoke this order.

Lu Ning decided to use this Dengzhou Bijia to open the knife and deter those large and small landlords in Qilu.

The Forbidden Army and the Guards are also ready to go out at any time to quell the rebellion.

Li Chongjin in the west is confronting Zhao Kuangyin, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River in the north, and the states of Zhou are in the north, which is also in chaos, I heard that the Khitan Northern Han wants to raise troops again, but just ended the war with the Zhou State, yes, some Khitan nobles are extremely bored, oppose the southern invasion, sleep King Liao Muzong, and do not care, all day except drinking and sleeping to kill the servants, there is nothing else to do.

Southern Tang Dynasty was originally the old master, but now the relationship with it is still ambiguous, depending on what the Tang Lord thinks, not to mention, the Southern Tang Dynasty is competing with Wu Yue.

Now it is a rare opportunity to break down and solve Qiludi.

Of course, the one-stop tax law is by no means a ban on land annexation, not a ban on the formation of large estates, in fact, a certain degree of land annexation, can promote the development of the commodity economy, the Song Dynasty commodity economy developed, I have to say that there is a merit of land annexation, so that many peasant households become tenant farmers and even all kinds of handicraftsmen, craftsmen and so on.

However, if the merger is unrestricted and the tax is not reasonable, the consequences will be extremely serious.

As in reality, the one-stop tax law, which only made the tax more reasonable for the rich and the poor, and also increased the tax on the treasury, aroused fierce opposition from the wealthy.

It is a good policy to implement it when it is enterprising.
