After there are more levels, the people who pass by will naturally be subject to more interrogation. Whether it is an ordinary pedestrian or a merchant. But for the average person, this kind of thing doesn't have much impact, unless it's very urgent. And for businessmen, it's a different story entirely. It takes a lot of time to inspect the goods every time.

The most important thing is that the tax policy of Huashanjun has not been completely decided! Therefore, basically every checkpoint has the right to collect taxes. As a result, almost every place has to pay a part of the tax, which is naturally high for the merchants.

Of course, at the beginning, Xu Fuzi and they should have also considered this problem. At the very least, they should know that they shouldn't double tax. But the question is, how can there be time to solve this problem in the past!

"What you're talking about is a problem! If my goods are taxed several times, I don't want to do business here anymore! I will ask Mr. Xu to think about this matter and see how best to solve it! After thinking for a while, Li Xin said to him.

Don't look at this matter, it seems that this matter is quite simple, it seems that as long as he sends a sentence, let those checkpoints below not collect taxes. In fact, there is a big problem in it, you must know that the merchant profits, once he finds that other checkpoints will not be taxed, then, some people will have bad intentions.

For example, when they brought goods into Shangluo, they paid taxes after inspection, but after they passed the customs, they bought a large number of goods from Shangluo County and transported them to Guanzhong for sale, even farther to the east of the Qinzhou River.

In this way, since the tax is only collected once in the territory, the goods bought in the territory are not taxed. Then, when they leave the country, they only take a little merchandise with them! In this way, the taxes collected by the two times together are actually very small, but they actually made a lot of money in various places under the rule of the Huashan Army.

The reason why there are so many checkpoints is because it was thought that many merchants would do this, and when they entered and exited the country, they passed through the customs with a small number of goods, and when they arrived at the customs, they bought and sold in a big way.

Of course, if you only look at the prosperity of domestic business, it seems that this is also a good choice! After all, everyone is willing to do business under the rule of the Huashan Army, and it seems to be a good thing for the circulation of goods and for the people everywhere.

But the problem is that if the public facilities they use, if they are not taxed, how can the Huashan Army have the money to maintain them? If taxes are not collected, it is impossible for the Huashan Army to sustain itself. What's more, there is not much money in the Huashan Army, and Li Xin is still counting on some things that he urgently needs from other places.

For example, food, for example, cloth, silk, linen, etc., there are a lot of these things on the left side of the river, and they just need them. If it is not connected to the outside world, it is no different from a closed society, and Huashan Army will never want to really develop.

Taking the benefits of the world for his own benefit is the reason why Li Xin wants to vigorously develop commerce, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to directly cut off the trade routes! Therefore, what Ren Tong said is a problem, but it can't be one-size-fits-all, and it has to be solved after a good design!

"With the general's words, the lower officials will be relieved! If there are good measures, then Sangalo-gun can develop better in the future! For our Huashan Army, this is an important place for finance and taxation, and if it is well managed here, other places will naturally be good! ”

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, the current Qinzhou Beidi Anding and other places are basically still places where you can't get in and out. If you want to wait until these places are self-sufficient, I am afraid that it will not be possible to recover for a while.

"By the way, our development here is good, and there is no trouble over there in Gangneung, right?" After walking for a while, he finally entered the mansion, and after sitting down, Li Xin suddenly asked.

Gangneung is the place where Huan Wen is located, and it is not far from here in Sannak County. If there is suddenly such a lively and prosperous place at the door of the house, I am afraid that everyone will take a second look.

"No, Huan Wen's mind hasn't been with us lately. In addition, we have never had any grudges with him, on the contrary, the general and he still have some friendship, so the two sides get along well! Ren Tong shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Li Xin nodded, which was more relieved.

"However, it is still better to pay more attention to their actions here. Although it is said that there is a garrison here, if something really goes wrong, I am afraid that the army alone will not be able to deal with it, and you must work together! After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin admonished.

As one of the most powerful forces beside him, Li Xin naturally attaches great importance to Huan Wen. Although the current friendship seems to be good, but time has changed, and who knows what will become of it in the future.

Maybe today is still pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and between the staggered chips, tomorrow people will lead the army to kill! After all, the two belong to different forces. Although Li Xin did not explicitly set up a separate court here, at least in the eyes of many people, he was now essentially a hegemon, independent of the Jiangzuo court.

But because there is now a more powerful Yan State, Huan Wen has just returned from the Northern Expedition to Yao Xiang. Under these circumstances, it is unlikely that he will have a bad relationship with Li Xin again!

But the problem is that one day, Huan Wen will be idle and find that he wants to make another merit, but when he doesn't have a good goal, he is afraid that he will target the Huashan army.

"Xiaguan understands that this Shangluo County is where the south gate of Guanzhong is located, and if you guard Shangluo, Guanzhong will be safe!" Ren Tong naturally knew the severity, so he hurriedly responded.

"Well, it's good to understand! I stayed here for two days, walked around the three counties, and then went to Wuguan and Gaomen Pass and other places to see and then went back! After talking for a long time, Li Xin also said about it.

In the past few days in Shangluo County, he has taken a rough look at this place. If you put aside the fact that it borders Jiangzuo, in fact, there is still a lot of potential here. Unfortunately, it is not possible to develop it on a large scale for the time being.

After talking to Zhao Ji once, he headed east with his own soldiers. This is the first time he has taken this road, and there is something special about it.

To the east of Lushi County is Yiyang County, and to the northwest of Yiyang County is Nanling Pass! If you go from this road, you don't need to go back to Guanzhong and then detour to Tongguan to Hongnong County.

However, Yiyang County is now in the hands of Jiang Zuo, and Li Xin has only more than 100 personal soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Ji personally took 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort him out of Gaomen Pass, and then transferred north to Nanling Pass dozens of miles away from Yiyang County.

Moreover, in order to ensure Li Xin's safety, he also sent someone to inform Chen Kang stationed at Nanling Pass in advance. After meeting with the soldiers and horses sent by Chen Kang, he returned to Gaomen Pass.

In fact, in Li Xin's opinion, this is a bit too fuss. To be honest, he really didn't think that the people in Yiyang County would dare to do anything to him! Let's not mention that although there are few people around him, the combat power of this person is not bad!

There were not many soldiers and horses in Yiyang County, and the main forces were now placed in Luoyang City, used to guard against the Yan army in the east and north. Besides, everyone knows that Li Xin and Huan Wen have a good relationship, and if someone is greedy for merit to attack him, I am afraid that it will cause serious consequences.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Li Xin actually went very smoothly along the way, and no soldiers and horses dared to disturb him at all.

"General, I think if we have a chance, we should get Yiyang County and Huangchi County back, in this way, Hongnong and Shangluo will be connected in the future, wouldn't it be much more convenient to come and go?" After arriving at Nanling Pass, Chen Kang said to him.

"The idea is good, but not yet! If we do this, it will be equivalent to breaking the tacit understanding with Huan Wen, and in this way, the happiest will be our enemies! These two counties don't matter outside, it's better in Jiang Zuo's hands than in Yan Guo's hands! Li Xin shook his head and said.

Yiyang County is not far from Luoyang, that place is of great political significance, if he takes Yiyang County and Huangchi County, I am afraid that Jiang Zuo will think that he is going to fight Luoyang. As a result, there are many troubles.

For today's Huashan Army, the less trouble the better, anyway, the meat in the mouth will be eaten back sooner or later!

"That said, but when will we be able to take it back?" Chen Kang said with some reluctance.

In the first half of the year, he fought in Qinzhou, and since he came back, he has been stationed here, and the Shangdang and Pingyang in the north are particularly lively, and he has no chance to participate. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some restlessness.

"Don't rush, you have to be ready, maybe the opportunity will come soon!" Knowing his thoughts, Li Xin said with a smile.

The group of people who rely on Jiangzuo can't hold Luoyang, and as long as there is an accident in Luoyang, their side will have no scruples, and they can justifiably send troops to recover the two counties.

As for Luoyang! Li Xin actually didn't have the idea of occupying it in his heart, after all, that place was too conspicuous! If he occupies it, I'm afraid that Yan Guo and Jiang Zuo will have to find their own trouble.

Under the leadership of Chen Kang, Li Xin inspected Nanling Pass and encouraged the soldiers stationed here. After this period of maintenance and expansion, the defense capability of the entire Nanling Pass has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

In addition, there are 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed here, and it is impossible for the enemy to easily break through this place, whether it is from the east or the south. In this way, Hongnong and Shaanxi County and other places in the back will be safe.
