Jiangdu Beicheng, a slightly humble Che Cavalry General's Mansion.

Tian Xin stayed in his mansion, which lacked a sense of familiarity, and personally checked that there were no secret passages, and then said to the left and right: "I miss my old friend, I can invite Li Zhengfang first, then invite Chen Xiaoqi, Deng Bomiao, and then invite infantry captain Xi Hong, as well as Chen Feng, Deng Kai, Wen Bu, and Fan Bao." Then I will deliver the greeting post to General Zilong, and after the imperial plan, I will be convenient with General Zilong, and I can visit at any time. ”

Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, it is not the time to avoid suspicion, and your own people should get together, so as not to be divided and bullied again.

The letters of invitation and the letters of worship were quickly written, and Tian Xin signed them one after another and began to distribute.

The envoy who entered Jiangdu in one step, Xian Tian Xin, did not hesitate after hearing the news, and rushed to Tian Xin as soon as possible.

In the warm pavilion that is gradually warming, because it is the first time to burn this warm pavilion in winter after it was built, there is a lot of earthy smell of moisture and steaming, which makes Yin Yi a little unaccustomed.

Tian Xin is not used to it, what kind of earthy smell is this, it should be the smell of roasted insects in the soil.

No matter how bad the warm pavilion is, it is much more comfortable than other rooms outside.

He entered the Jiangdu first, and he had already been in contact with many people, and he looked a little ashamed: "The minister has consulted with Pei Fengxian of the General's Mansion, Ma Youchang, the military officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Shi Chen Xiaoqi, the governor of the Southern Central Governor's Mansion. The ministers are clumsy and shallow, and they have been refuted many times, but they are all self-ashamed. ”

"This is normal, the court has the righteousness in hand, and arguing with it is really self-deprecating."

Tian Xin didn't care, as long as he didn't dare to throw off his arms and blackmail the court, he could only compromise or be dissuaded when talking about various conditions.

So, here I am.

Although most of the seized luxury goods were given to the mother-in-law...... It can't be regarded as a gift from himself, obviously he gave it to his wife, and his wife didn't like it, so she gave it to her parents.

Gold and silver are still in circulation, luxury jewelry and jade products and the like, the current discount is too ruthless, twelve boxes of jewelry, the actual value is far less than twelve boxes of gold and silver. Although it was given to the mother-in-law to mend the hole for the brother-in-law, it actually fell into the hands of the brother-in-law to make a pension.

After turning around, the effect is greater than that of directly giving it to my brother-in-law.

exchanging a few favors for jewelry that can't be eaten or worn also makes his wife happy and moved, is it cost-effective or not...... Anyway, I think it's a good deal.

Judging from the current signs of Pang Feiyan, it is obviously not an easy physique to conceive.

You can't give out your step-sister-in-law to your deceased brother, so you have to continue to recruit concubines, and it is necessary to coax your wife and father-in-law as soon as possible.

Tian Xin was not in a hurry or annoyed, and raised his chin: "Let's talk about how all parties will reply." ”

"Yes, when the minister and Ma Youyou often talk, this person is secretive and refuses to give permission to speak, all of them are specious and hazy words, and the minister can't be sure of the specifics. However, Chen Xiaoqi was entrusted by the prime minister to talk about filial piety, the appointment of counties and counties, the benefits of Shaofu's collection of mountains, forests and lakes, and the merger of Xiangzhou into Jingzhou. ”

The things in Yin's mouth are more important than the other, and the most important thing is that Xiangzhou is reincorporated into Jingzhou.

This matter is absolutely impossible to pass, not to mention the Xiangzhou garrison, just the Hunan army, the Jiaoguang garrison, and the Han servant army, which is a system of outward expansion and development, is inseparable from Xiangzhou, the source of the Hunan army.

There is also the salt spring, although Cao Cao set up Linjiang County, the first emperor changed Linjiang County to Yidu County when he cut off the salt springs belonging to Wuling County, but the three salt spring bases, how can Xiangzhou get enough salt by themselves.

Without the salt of Xiangzhou, the closest to Beifu is only the salt pond in Hedong, and then there is the salt pond in Beidi and Ningxia, and a little west, there should also be a salt pond in Xiping County.

There are all kinds of troubles in mining and transportation, and the key is that it is not directly held in the hand, and it takes time to get through and operate in order to obtain salt.

And the salt of Xiangzhou is in his hand.

Salt is an indispensable consumable for the people to maintain their livelihoods, and it is also a hard currency in the army.

The Beifu soldiers were not paid, so theoretically, the imperial court did not need to allocate money, food, military uniforms, and salt for the Beifu soldiers.

So theoretically, the source of salt for the Beifu soldiers? Eat folk salt, of course...... But the salt in the private market is out of stock?

Therefore, from beginning to end, the salt of Beifu has always been exclusively available, which seems insignificant.

As for the salted fish offensive in Lingnan, Tian Xin's eyes were purely a small trick made by Guo Yi, Yang Jun, and Yan Fei, the ministers of the Wei State, to disgust the Jiangdu court.

The officialdom of the Wei State has been up and down for a long time, and these people have enough experience in eye medicine and disgusting people.

As for this salted fish offensive, the Jiangdu Imperial Court is very passive, severe punishment will get out of control, failure to deal with it will lead to the collapse of the salt tax, and light control will encourage other unhealthy tendencies.

For the sake of salt, Xiangzhou could not be merged into Jingzhou under any circumstances, and from the perspective of the balance and efficiency of geographical division, the division of Jingxiang was in line with the general trend.

Just compared with the Jingxiang region in my impression, Jingzhou has two counties in the north, Nanyang and Yiyang; Xiangzhou has more Wuchang County in the east.

Yangzhou and Jiangdong are too big, and they need to be cut a few times, first cut out a Ganzhou or Qianzhou and Zhangzhou, which are new states established with Yuzhang County as the core; Then cut down Wu County and Huiji County, chop Wu Yue and Sanwu to pieces, so that Danyang County in the south of the Yangtze River was subordinate to Yangzhou in Jiangbei, and then Wu County, Huiji and Sun Quan, He Qi conquered and developed the southern Duwei area of Huiji to form a Suzhou.

Then between Guangzhou, Zhangzhou, and Suzhou, there is another Fuzhou, and this map is much more pleasing to the eye.

Thinking about these things, Tian Xin's eyes rolled, he must give the court a hope, when will the court ...... The old man completed the establishment of Yangzhou, Zhangzhou, Suzhou, and Fuzhou, and handed over the post of Xiangzhou assassin.

Otherwise, if you consume it, you will make your husband angry.

Think of a way to delay, don't seek to solve the problem, you can drag the problem down, don't let the old man be distracted and do other things.

As for the benefits of the Shaofu levy on mountains, forests, lakes and rivers, this is a large-scale tax, mineral deposit, and forest development throughout the country; If the Beifu refuses to pay the license fee to the Shaofu, then the local prefectures and counties, and the powerful and wealthy businessmen will naturally try their best to excuse themselves.

Therefore, we should not insist on it, and we should adopt a cooperative and mutually beneficial approach.

Tian Xin had an idea in his heart and asked: "What achievements can you make in the matter of Shaofu's levy?" ”

"Back to the public, Ma Youchang, Chen Xiaoqi, and Pei Fengxian were very tight-mouthed and had no intention of backing down. However, Yang Wei of Shaofu sent people to contact the ministers, and was willing to extract the license fee at the interest rate of 30% of other states and counties. ”

"Oh? How is it a three-percent method? Is it 30% of my Beifu's general ledger or 30% of my net income? ”

"The public is laughing, how can Yang Weigong be so ignorant?"

Seeing that Tian Xin seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he also laughed: "Shaofu wants to extract one to five percent of the output value of various places; Counting to Beifu, the same subject is between three cents and five cents. It's just that in order to convince all localities, my Beifu needs to pay the full amount, and the Shaofu will transfer seventy percent to the Beifu for the purpose of raising the army. ”

Lu Yan next to him heard this and said categorically: "Public, this discussion is not appropriate." After a long time, the officials in the army do not know the truth, and they will be fooled by the Shaofu. ”

"I don't think it's right either."

Tian Xin opened his mouth, and when he saw Yin Yi bowing down in a panic, he said a little impatiently: "Go to Yang Weigong and tell him that even if he is Jiuqing, he should have the prestige of the Qing family." I, the officials of the Northern Mansion, support him as the secretary of the Shaofu, and I am also willing to raise capable officials to form a righteous division for the Shaofu to collect taxes and collect taxes. In the future, the benefits of the world's mountains, forests, lakes and rivers, I will give up to Shaofu Sancheng. ”

Yin Yi's forehead was pressed against the wooden floor: "The minister is stupid, please make it clear." ”

"The Shaofu should levy a forest and mining tax, which is a glorious tradition since ancient times and cannot be abandoned. It's just that the expenditure on raising troops in my northern province is very large, so the amount payable in my northern province according to the law is converted to the money for raising the army and defending the country, and this money is used for special purposes. And my Beifu helped him to collect taxes from the government office of the government, and it should be divided into another seventy percent. ”

"If Yang Weigong doesn't allow it, then I won't recognize him as a young man."

The imperial court appointed you Yang Yi to collect taxes, if the Northern Mansion takes the lead in resisting taxes, then Yang Yi will not want to collect taxes, and the only result will be a complete end.

cooperated, or refused, so suddenly put in front of Yang Yi.
