Chapter 618: Painting

Han Shui, Yang Yi stood on the boat, the cold southeast wind was blowing, and in the distance there were gray clouds and mist, and the condensed water vapor was attached to the bow flag, and all the flags drooped, and there was no sign of shaking.

This time to enter the court, it is by no means a good time.

Jiangdong's subordinates have successively completed the liquidation and allocation, and the resignation of Zhang Wen, the court commander, has been submitted to Jiangdu, although the imperial court has detained and not given instructions, but Zhang Wen should have gone to Guangzhou by sea.

Taichang Qing Lai Gong and Wei Weiqing Fu Kuang were implicated in the Fei Yi case and have all been dismissed; Ting Weiqing Zhang Wen took the initiative to go to his post, but he had to represent the Great Sima, the Governor of Kwantung, and the Governor of the Four Prefectures.

This kind of work debriefing should have been the responsibility of the upper officials, but now they have named themselves to join the court, and it is obvious that the next political changes in the court will inevitably have their own part.

It's not a good thing.

Yuan Qi, Liu Yong, Liao Hua, Chen Feng, Wen Bu, Deng Kai, and Xi Hong, who have friendships with Beifu, are all in this round of large-scale transfer lists, and Yang Yi is deeply uneasy.

Looking at the Han River in my hometown, down the Han River, the two sides of the strait pass by from the end of sight, and there is a feeling of being in the boat, drifting with the waves, involuntarily.

Downstream, a transport ship hoisted the battle flag of the word 'Chen' and was slowly moving upstream.

This is the fleet that has just sailed out of the rain zone, and there are many sailors on the deck wiping the water trails, and they are staggering past Yang Yi's ship.

Yang Yi looked sideways and saw that there were many girls and children on the deck of the northbound fleet, and about twenty or thirty young girls were basking in the thin sunlight on one deck.

These should all be the women to be married in the families of the military officials of Beifu, and when they enter Guanzhong this time, perhaps most of them will get married.

It's a pity that I can't drink this wedding wine.

With sorrow, Yang Yi passed by this Beifu transport fleet.

In the transport fleet, Sun Ce's grandson Sun Feng grabbed the guardrail with both hands to watch the waves break on the side of the ship, and behind him were his two aunts, one was Lu Yi's wife, and the other was Gu Sun, who had become a widow who married Gu.

There is also a boat, and the second daughter Liu Sun, born to Sun Quan and Yuan Shu's daughter, is also wearing a plain muslin towel on her head at this moment, and she is dressed as a widow.

Her husband Liu Su went to give a lecture to her brother-in-law Sun Zi in the mansion of the day as usual, and took Jin Wu Chen to handle the case under his command...... Anyway, in the chaos, her husband Liu Su died in the fire, and even the remains could not be found.

Mrs. Bu stayed in the Hanxing Pavilion in Tianxingzhou to mourn Sun Quan, and the two cousins took pity on her and pulled her up when they went north to Guanzhong.

The widow's remarriage is also a way out, and the Gu Sun family already has plans in this regard, so they persuaded Liu Sun's to simply leave the south and live in a different world.

At this point, the Sun family has no Miao descendants in the Yangtze River Basin, and they all went to Nanyang in this northbound fleet, and chose the opportunity to go to Guanzhong to live in Wuguan Road.

When Yang Yi looked back again, he could no longer see this Beifu transport team, and it was estimated that this fleet would rest in Hanjin at night.

And what about yourself?

When Yang Yi turned around, he could see the gray and black overlapping rain area not far in front of the downstream, like a big umbrella, the rain clouds were like an umbrella, and under the umbrella was a thick rain curtain of hemp paint.

Hanjin, as the ships docked and hovered, Zhuge Qiao, the captain of Hanjin, led the big and small officials to search the cabins of each ship.

At present, the customs customs of the four prefectures in the eastern part of the country have not been restored, and only Hanjin, Baidicheng, Xiangguan, Chaisangkou and Dongguan in Susushui have collected tariffs, a total of five customs customs.

The tariff is ten and one is taxed, and either you declare and convert it yourself, or you pay one-tenth of the goods, and sell it by the customs to discount the money.

Zhuge Qiao's face is still very big, and this Beifu transport team truthfully declared the transportation of materials.

Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Qiao had several encounters in Jiangdu, and accompanied Zhuge Qiao to inspect the cabin with great interest, and asked: "Captain Zhuge Du, I heard that the imperial court wants to revise the "Customs Law". I heard that there will be nothing in the future and nothing will be smoked? ”

"If this is true, what objection does Taichu have?"

"I don't have any objections, but I just think it's difficult to do, and it's half the effort."

Xiahou Xuan pointed to a pair of hardwood sealed boxes in the middle of the cabin with a folding fan in his hand and said: "There are about 200 catties of gold and silver in this, and according to the new tax law, 20 catties will be drawn." Rather than this, it is better to hire chariots and horses and bypass Hanjin by land. ”

The five tax cards are all repaired at the location of the water transportation hub, and water transportation is the main and only way to bulk materials.

The construction of tax cards in Chidao, merchants are not willing to take the road because of the extremely high cost of freight, and if they set up a tax card on Chidao, they would rather take a detour than go.

Only the hub of waterway shipping cannot be bypassed, in addition to valuable equipment, other bulk materials deliberately bypass the tax card, which may not be able to save much cost.

Xiahou Xuan picked a thorn, Zhuge Qiao was not annoyed, and replied calmly: "This is a move to rob the rich and help the country, and it is a great fortune to be able to draw eleven taxes, how can you be greedy for gold, silver, and precious stones?" What is the benefit of such extravagant things in national affairs? ”

Zhuge Qiao watched his subordinates come forward to count the materials in the cabin, and tilted his head to look at Xiahou Xuan: "Today, I talked to Yang Weigong about the affairs of the north, and I heard that the Lord of Wei issued an edict at the end of October to open a warehouse to help the victims in Hebei. The state is in such a state of distress that I don't expect it to last long. ”

Xiahou Xuan gently wiped the folding fan to fan the turbid air in the cabin, and asked rhetorically: "This Jiashier, but what can the imperial court do?" As far as I know, the imperial court did not have a one-year-old grain store. If there is another drought in the states next year, and there is a locust plague, the people have no food, and the government coffers have no food, how can we provide disaster relief? ”

In order to encourage the people to actively cultivate and improve productivity, Yuzhou Mu Pang Lin is completely stocked and does not collect taxes and rents; Yanzhou still has the pressure to raise the army, and it can maintain the garrison rations by relying on the military cantonment.

Qingzhou is relatively wealthy, but there is also a lack of accumulation, and if there is a drought like Hebei, it is estimated that Qingzhou can barely save itself, and cannot support Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou.

At present, Xuzhou does not even have a state pastor or a county guard, and it all depends on the autonomy of each county; When Guan Yu thinks it is appropriate, he will send the county guard and assassin Shi to return Xuzhou to normal.

The exchanges between Zhuge Qiao and Xiahou Xuan were not harmonious, and even the discussion of the new tariff law was over.

Now this law has not been officially implemented, and it is time for Tian Xin and Beifu officials to transfer wealth.

Otherwise, once implemented, no matter whether your gold and silver treasures are commodities or daily necessities, as long as they pass through the customs and reach a certain amount, they will be within the scope of the collection and issuance of ten taxes.

Only a one-size-fits-all approach can provide a stable harvest of tax sources.

In the cabin next door, when Zhuge Qiao came to inspect the storage in the cabin, there were many female dependents here, Xiahou Aya and Xiahou Hui sisters were studying painting skills.

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw these paintings, and he didn't dare to explore or inquire carefully, so he hurriedly checked and left.

After the official business was completed, Zhuge Qiao came to invite Xiahou Xuan again: "I heard that Taichu's painting art is quite a true biography of Chen Gong, and I have always admired Chen Gong's painting art, but it is inconvenient to ask for advice." Recently, the night wind and the boat on the river are swaying, why don't you compare your painting skills with me at the beginning and explore the strengths and weaknesses of the two families? ”
