There is Bao Zheng to resist pressure for Su Xun, of course it is not bad.

Bao Zheng is benevolent, down-to-earth, and has a strong ability to work under pressure.

When Kou Ji took someone to translate the books of the Baghdad Wisdom Hall before, he also sent someone to send some books to Bao Zheng, so that Bao Zheng could learn the Great Food Literature and participate in translating the Great Food books.

Now a long time has passed, and among the first batch of Jinshi who translated the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall, only Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu are the only two people who insist on translating the work.

Bao Zhengren is in Luzhou, guarding the graves of his parents, and has more leisure time, so he translates relatively quickly, and he can publish a copy almost a month.

Ouyang Xiu served as the governor of Dengzhou, and his official duties were a little busy, and he could barely translate a copy in two and a half months.

It was through this simple matter that Kou Ji judged that among his many protégés, Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu were the most down-to-earth.

It is precisely because of this that when Su Xun proposed to let Bao Zheng serve as his deputy, Kou Ji understood Su Xun's purpose.

Su Xun just wanted to find a down-to-earth big brother to help him do the dirty work on the side, but he was lazy on the side.

Due to Su Xun's young age, Kou Ji put a heavy burden on his shoulders, which was indeed a bit excessive, so Kou Ji did not pierce Su Xun's true purpose.

After Su Xun agreed to this matter, Kou Ji reminded: "Bohai Mansion is near the sea, in addition to seafood, there are many passing merchant ships. You can also get some grain into Bohai Province through merchants.

In addition, the sea ships used by the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi may also be anchored outside Bohai Province in the future, and you can use this to buy grain from Jiaozhi at that time.

Don't think that there are few people in Jiaozhi, just think that people have no food.

In fact, Jiaozhi is currently the only state that can provide a large amount of grain to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Su Xun heard Kou Ji's words, and rolled his eyes slightly, "Sir, although the students have lived in Meishan for generations, it does not mean that the students are lonely and unheard.

The student's old Tarzan is in business.

My brother-in-law has been running around Sichuan and Fuzhou for many years.

Through their mouths, students learn more or less about Cochin.

Students know that there is food for Jiaozhi.

The students also know that many merchants in my Great Song Dynasty have hoarded a lot of grain this year.

They are waiting for you to be short of food, and then sell the grain to the court at a high price.

They are now waiting for strange goods to live in.

Therefore, if the students can't come up with real money, they won't sell the food to the students. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun and said bluntly: "There is no money." However, the commercial tax of Bohai Province can be negotiated, and it can be exempted from tax when necessary. ”

When Su Xun heard that there was no money, he immediately said with a dark face: "That student can only take those captives to the sea to fish." ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "It seems that you don't know anything about business. Aren't your father-in-law and brother-in-law in business? You go back and tell them about the tax exemption, and you see how they react. ”

Su Xun is not a stupid person, he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Listen to what Mr. means, there is a big way here?" But the captives in Bohai Mansion didn't have a penny in their hands, so it was impossible for the merchants to deliver grain to them for no reason, right? ”

Kou Ji glared at Su Xu, didn't explain much, just waved his hand to drive Su Xun away, and said: "Go back and think about it slowly, if you figure it out, your future errand will be very easy, if you can't figure it out, then you just wait to suffer." ”

Su Xun saw that Kou Ji was going to drive him away, and quickly said: "Sir, the student thinks that Wen Yanbo is more suitable to be the prefect of Bohai Mansion than the student.

If Wen Yanbo was to serve as the prefect of Bohai Prefecture, perhaps with just one sentence, countless merchants would transport grain to Bohai Mansion. ”

"Fuck off!"

Kou Ji scolded.

Su Xun, this kid is bad enough, he fell into the water by himself, and he knew that there was no hope of getting out of the water, so he wanted to drag others into the water together.

Su Xun shrank his head and fled from the main hall amid Kou Ji's shouting and scolding.

After Su Xun left, Kou Ji groaned: "This kid is bad enough, he actually dragged others into the water." But what he said is also good, the Wen family is also a big family, and the Wen family itself operates countless industries, Wen Yanbo's father has been a transfer envoy on Hedong Road for more than ten years, and he has also managed a lot of contacts.

If I promote Wen Yanbo to the fourth rank in one go, the Wen family should have some blood in order to consolidate Wen Yanbo's position. ”

Kou Ji thought about it here, no longer hesitated, he raised his pen and wrote a long note, changing the Jingdong Road of Liaoguo to Bohai Mansion, and informing Zhao Zhen of the news of his nomination of Su Xun as the prefect of Bohai Mansion.

At the same time, Kou Ji also proposed that the imperial court change the Jingnan Province of Liaoguo to Langxifu, and elected Wen Yanbo as the prefect of Langxifu.

In addition, Kou Ji also proposed that the imperial court formally include the southwest and northwest roads of the Liao State into the Great Song Dynasty and implement the government system.

The northwest road of the hesitant Liao State is very large, almost equivalent to the land of the three prefectures of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Kou Ji suggested that the imperial court could divide the northwest road of the Liao Kingdom into two prefectures.

At the west end of the northwest road of Liaoguo, how the imperial court governs, Kou Ji doesn't care.

At the east end of the northwest road of Liaoguo, next to the area of Shangjing Road and Jingnan Road, Kou Ji proposed to set up the Gumeng Mansion, and elected Zhang Fangping, whom Wang Zeng had valued before, as the prefect.

Zhang Fangping is also a famous minister in history.

But Koji didn't know much.

Previously, when Wang had recommended this person to go to the Uighur territory of Xizhou to make a stumbling block for the combined forces of the Black Khanate and the Liao State, Zhang Fangping did a good job, so he was exceptionally promoted to the governor of Songzhou.

Now that Kou Ji needed someone to govern the territory, he suddenly remembered this person.

Although this person is not famous, his background is average.

But he can do things, no matter how many tasks he is given to him, he can find ways to complete them.

In today's vast land, there is a shortage of such talents.

After Kou Ji finished writing everything, he ordered people to send them to Bianjing City as soon as possible.

Whether Bianjing City will follow the arrangements mentioned in his recital, then Kou Ji cannot be guaranteed.

After all, he was a privy envoy, and he promoted Su Xun to the prefect of Bohai Prefecture unusually, which was already considered overstepping his authority.

If the prefect of Langxie Mansion and the prefect of Gumeng Mansion after the restructuring are arranged together, it will not be overstepping their authority.

That is usurpation, dictatorship.

The nature is completely different.

After Kou Ji finished writing the recital, he left the main hall and went out with the people to house the prisoners.

In Tanshan and other places, after the cleanup of the murderers, the Ayan Department, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, it can almost be said that there is no one.

Almost all the cities were empty.

Some villages and towns are also empty.

There are also countless lonely tents scattered all over the place.

It was precisely because there was no one left, so it was easy for Koji to place the captives.

He only needs to disperse the captives according to their numbers, and then send people to be the administrators immediately.

Since Liao is now all soldiers of the forbidden army, Kou Ji does not want to tie up the soldiers of the forbidden army in one place, so almost all the managers sent out by Kou Ji are drawn from the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In addition, there are some officers and soldiers who have made mistakes in the army and need to be dismissed, as well as some soldiers who have been injured.

Although after the forbidden army left the Great Wall, it was like a bamboo, and it was invincible and invincible.

There are almost no enemies that are their enemies.

But there were still wounded soldiers.

Some of them were injured for various reasons when they were escorting grain and grass.

Some were accidentally injured by their own people.

Only a small percentage were wounded on the battlefield.

Some people may not understand that soldiers who do not go to the battlefield should not be injured.

Not really.

In ancient times, there were many soldiers who would still be injured if they did not go to the battlefield.

Some were kicked by horses, and some were kicked to death by horses' hooves.

There are also accidental injuries on the training ground.

Others will be injured by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the wild.

Among them, most of those who were kicked and injured by horses and killed were people who escorted grain and grass.

Most of the people who were injured by mistake on the training ground were ordinary soldiers.

Most of those who are injured by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the wild are scouts.

Therefore, even if they do not go to the battlefield, there are often wounded in the army.

Kou Ji arranged these wounded to serve as grassroots managers in Liaotu, and gave them very good treatment.

As the cornerstone of the Great Song Dynasty's management of Liaotu, they can play a great role.

Just when Koji was busy arranging the captives.

Su Xun hung his head and returned to his residence.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a little woman younger than him waiting for her in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Su Xun frowned slightly and said, "Why did you come out?" ”

The little woman smiled lightly and said, "Wait for you to come back......"

Su Xun made a face and said unhappily: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, you will stay in the room, there are soldiers and horses everywhere outside, if you let them see you staying at home alone, it is difficult to ensure that they can't afford to wait." ”

The little woman smiled and said, "With you and your husband in charge, who dares to mess around." ”

Su Xun snorted, "There is no shortage of bold people in the army, and there is no shortage of those who are bold and reckless. Just now, there was a fool who did something stupid that harmed people's lives.

He still dares to quibble in front of Mr.

As a result, the gentleman was furious and cut off hundreds of heads. ”

The smile on the little woman's face froze slightly.

Su Xun snorted and said, "You know you're scared, right?" I knew that I was afraid, so I stayed in the room obediently in the future. In a few days, I will go to Liaoguo Jingdong Road to take office, and when the time comes, I will choose a few more young and strong family members to protect the mansion, and then you can come out and go around. ”

"Listen to your ......"

The little woman whispered yes and accompanied Su Xun into the main hall.

Inside the main hall.

The little woman had already prepared a table of meals.

The little woman accompanied Su Xun into the main hall, and after helping Su Xun to wear a wide dress, the two sat at the table.

The little woman is Su Xun's wife, Su Cheng's family.

Su Cheng is also a lady with a wise heart, and when he was eating with Su Xun, he saw Su Xun's brows tightly locked, so he guessed that Su Xun had something on his mind.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

Su Cheng understood Su Xun's temperament, until Su Xun didn't like his own people talking to his own people, so he asked straight to the point.

Su Xun did not hide Su Cheng's family, and poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told Su Cheng's appointment to Kou Ji today and the difficulties he was about to face.

After listening to Su Xun's story, Su Cheng not only did not frown with Su Xun, but said with a shocked face: "Do you think that the chorus handed over to you by Mr. ”

Su Xun saw Su Cheng's shocked face, and asked suspiciously, "Otherwise?" ”

Su Cheng sighed: "The concubine feels that Mr. has given you a great fortune. ”

"Great wealth?"

Su Xun was stunned.

Su Cheng nodded and said softly: "There are many doorways in this business, and it's not surprising that you don't know." Mr. handed over all the commercial taxes of Bohai Mansion to you, which is a great wealth.

If you dare to exempt all the commercial taxes on sales in Bohai Mansion, many maritime merchants in the Great Song Dynasty will go to Bohai Mansion to do business. ”

Su Xun stared at Su Cheng without saying a word, waiting for her next step.

Su Cheng stared at Su Xun and asked, "The commercial tax of the imperial court is twenty taxes and one, do you know this matter?" ”

Su Xun nodded.

Although he didn't know how to do business, he knew all kinds of taxes in the imperial court.

From the time he came out to the present, except for the year when he translated the book, he spent the rest of his life as a magistrate, and if he didn't understand taxes, he could easily be deceived by the people below.

For this reason, he studied hard before he became a leader.

Seeing Su Xun nodding, Su Cheng continued: "But the commercial tax of twenty taxes and one is only set by the imperial court, and in fact, the commercial tax that falls on the heads of merchants is far higher than this.

The imperial court set up a commercial tax institute in Bianjing City, and also set up a place to collect business taxes in other prosperous prefectures.

All the official yamen that collect taxes add up to only a thousand.

Most of the time, the tax collection yamen in these thousands of places are in charge of the taxes of salt, iron, wine and other official transactions.

In addition, the taxes of the cloth, mules and horses and other markets are also under their control.

However, it is limited to official markets.

Outside the official market, they hardly care. ”

When Su Xun heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Isn't there a lot of businessmen who evade taxes?" ”

Su Cheng did not answer Su Xun's question, but continued: "Since there are only 1,000 places where the imperial court manages commercial taxes, and the counties under the jurisdiction of the imperial court have exceeded 1,000, there are many places that cannot be taken care of.

And because the yamen, which manages the commercial tax of the imperial court, only manages the commercial tax of some specific businesses, there are many commercial taxes that the imperial court cannot directly collect.

In view of this, the imperial court implemented a method of selling and selling the remaining power to collect taxes from commercial taxes to local wealthy families.

When the wealthy families collect taxes, they use the rule of ten taxes and one tax.

Therefore, the court openly uses the rule of twenty taxes and one tax, but secretly uses the rule of ten taxes and one tax.

Wealthy families use this means to eliminate dissidents, win people's hearts, and control almost everything in the local area in their own hands.

So, you can easily find out in the local area, the local area is full of wealthy businesses.

Moreover, local people with large surnames occupy nearly eighty percent of the local business.

So now when doing business at the local level, the most important thing you need to get is the power to collect taxes.

Every year, when the commercial tax yamen in various parts of the imperial court sells this power, it is the time when the competition is fiercest.

The money for selling power on the surface may not cost much, but the money that is secretly stuffed into the yamen and officials is staggering.

Some people rely on this power to make a lot of money.

Some people lost their families because of this power.

Others are overwhelmed by this power.

Therefore, if you implement the tax exemption decree in Bohai Province, I believe that there are many businessmen who cannot survive and are willing to settle down in Bohai Province.

There are also some maritime merchants who will go to Bohai Province to complete large business transactions.

As long as you have a document from the Bohai Prefecture to collect taxes, they will be able to avoid the oppression of the wealthy in other places. ”

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Su Xun said with a very ugly face: "The power to collect business taxes has become a transaction?" ”

Su Cheng nodded, "It's a deal." Didn't you just ask me if anyone was using this to evade taxes? Then the concubine will tell you.

Yes, there are many.

As long as it is a wealthy family that sells the power to collect business taxes, there is no need to pay taxes for a whole year.

Some people with big families and big businesses, their main purpose is to make money by not paying taxes, which is only secondary. ”

Su Xun said with a gloomy face: "No wonder Du Fu said that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "The Du family, where Du Fu is located, can also be regarded as Zhumen, and you and I can be regarded as Zhumen." ”

Su Xun's face instantly darkened.

Su Cheng continued: "Since Mr. has given you the power to collect taxes in Bohai Mansion, then it is up to you to collect the taxes in Bohai Mansion.

The benefits are beyond your imagination.

So with the power of taxation, you can easily bring in a large number of businessmen for Bohai Province.

It is also easy to buy a lot of food through their hands. ”

As if he hadn't heard Su Cheng's words, Su Xun gritted his teeth and said, "There is a problem with the commercial tax law of the imperial court. ”

Su Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Su Xun: "Husband, don't mess around." There is a way that is not in his position, and he does not seek his government. The benefits behind the commercial tax law are unimaginable.

If you declare this matter to the court, whether the court justifies it or not, you will be targeted by all the wealthy families in the world.

Wealthy families are based in the world, one is an official, and the other is a businessman.

Most of the wealthy families, some people in the family are officials, and some people are in business, which almost complement each other.

Once you are remembered, your career with your father-in-law will be over, and the career of Jingxian and Shi'er will probably be implicated.

I'm afraid that my Cheng family's business will also be suppressed in various ways. ”

Su Cheng mentioned Su Jingxian and Su Shi, and a look of worry suddenly appeared in Su Xun's eyes.

The heirs of the Su family are a little unsafe.

Su Cheng's first child gave birth to a baby girl, and died not long after giving birth.

The second child also gave birth to a daughter, some of whom were congenitally deficient and were a medicine jar.

The third child gave birth to a boy, Su Jingxian, the eldest man of the Su family.

It's just that Su Jingxian's situation is also a little wrong, and now he is also sick.

The fourth child gave birth to another daughter, in order to avoid dying halfway, Su Xun didn't dare to give an official name, but he was just a friend of Baniang, hoping to feed some.

I don't know if it's because she doesn't have an official name, or because God blesses her, Su Banniang is healthy.

The fifth child is Su Shi, Su Xun was transferred to the Governor of Ruzhou, and when he left home with Su Cheng, the little guy was only five months old.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a nurse at home, I am afraid that Su Xun would have to take Su Shi to take office.

Su Shi is too small, so he still can't see any problems.

But the children in front of them either died prematurely or were congenitally deficient, and then they suffered from serious illness the day after tomorrow.

So Su Xun was very worried.

Kou Ji didn't know about this, if Kou Ji knew about it, he would definitely use the corner of his eye to clip Su Xun to death, and by the way, take Su Xun and his wife as an example to do some popular science for his children.

Tell your children that a fifteen-year-old bad boy will not end well if she gives birth to a fourteen-year-old girl.

Of course, the marriage of Su Xun and Su Cheng is not a special case in the Great Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, it is very ordinary.

Most of the men and women in the Great Song Dynasty were married and had children at this age.

It is precisely because of this that the death rate of children born is very high.

After all, two people who are not yet healthy in the development of their bodies and bones will definitely not have good results if they get married and have children together.

However, most of the Great Song people, including Su Xun, didn't know this at all.

Therefore, they will always attribute the child's premature death to God.

I feel that God does not give them the opportunity to be parents.

In fact, they are all doing their own thing.

Su Xun thought of his heir, and the ambition to uphold justice in his heart was much less.

He stared at Su Cheng and smiled bitterly, "You're right, we are also Zhumen." If the imperial court really moves the law of commercial tax, we will also suffer.

Maybe we won't be able to live a life in the future.

'If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government', I am just a prefect of Bohai Prefecture who has not yet taken office.

The name is the prefect, and the people under his jurisdiction are only a little more than some of the larger states in the hinterland of my Great Song Dynasty.

So I'm a big Zhizhou at best.

I just need to find a way to feed the people under my rule.

The question of the law of commercial taxation is a matter that only a central minister like Mr. should worry about.

Only people like Mr. dare to touch the commercial tax law. ”

Su Cheng felt that there seemed to be a sense of injustice in Su Xun's heart, and while he was distressed, he reminded him loudly: "If the husband feels that the resentment in his chest is uncomfortable, he can inform Mr. of this matter."

If Mr. deals with this matter in the future, it can be regarded as a contribution from the husband. ”

Su Xun looked at Su Cheng's and sighed, "I don't want to hurt Mr. offends all the wealthy families in the world, and the official family may not be able to hold it, let alone a gentleman.

From the beginning of the year to the present, Mr. has done a lot of things for my Da Song.

I can have today, and Mr. should be the first to take credit.

If Mr. can live forever, he will definitely be able to do a lot of things for my Great Song.

So I can't tell my husband about it, so that he can offend people and be targeted. ”

When Su Cheng heard this, his expression was a little gloomy and said, "It's the concubine who lost her words......

Su Xun shook his head and said, "I don't blame you......"

After a pause, Su Xun sighed and said: "I hope that one day, Mr. will have the strength to change the way of the world and give the world a bright future." ”

Su Cheng nodded obediently.

After Su Xun sighed, he looked at Su Cheng and said, "You go and write a letter to Lao Taishan, and ask him to buy a batch of grain and transport it to Bohai Mansion along the coast." ”
