Chapter 299: Tax Rights
"Alas, in contrast to the two, it is immediately clear who is loyal and who is traitor." Cao Ziwen nodded, "But at this juncture, it's really not a good opportunity to move the Golden Mountain, and when the affairs of the Tea Horse Market settle down, I will naturally find a way to rectify the Golden Mountain." ”
Hearing Cao Ziwen's answer, Chen Liang was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that what Cao Ziwen said was also the truth, so he didn't say any further.
"Your Majesty, this kid also gave the court a surprise." Chen Liang changed the topic and mysteriously talked about the graded taxation, and even more clearly explained the benefits to the imperial court after the implementation of this system.
"What? No more family in decades? Cao Ziwen's face changed drastically, and he shouted in surprise.
He didn't listen to Chen Liang's other explanations, so he measured the feasibility and thought for a long time, "This is a big deal, and it is very difficult to implement, but it is not impossible." That Qin Forget is right, division and co-optation, plus the tea and horse market is controlled by us, this matter is indeed feasible. Li Cheng'an, Wenman, I see how you fight me? Cao Ziwen kept muttering to himself.
"It's a good Qin Forget, he solved the most troublesome thing for me at a young age, and he is really an immortal. And he is so loyal, he is willing to take on such a big deal for me. Good boy, good boy, I want to reward him, I want to reward him. Cao Ziwen said to Chen Liang, "Chen Liang, what kind of official do you say I will seal him?" This kid has never enjoyed the emperor's grace, so naturally he has no sense of belonging to the court, and now as long as he is given the benefits he deserves, he will be a member of the court. ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave feels that this official position cannot be big or small. It's big, this kid can't afford it, and when he's small, he's afraid of chilling his heart. Didn't he want Yunbei County? Your Majesty might as well give him this official position. Chen Liang thought for a while and said.
"It makes sense, the tree is a big move, and if you give him a high position now, I'm afraid that someone will make it difficult for him. In the future, if we face those families, if he has enough weight, he will not have to sacrifice him. Just give him an official position on the seventh rank of the captain of Zhiguo, the official position is not big, but it is enough for him to be in charge of the military of several counties in Yunbei. Cao Ziwen groaned slightly, and then thought of an official position for Qin Wang.
"Your Majesty, the slave feels that the right to collect taxes in the Tea Horse Market is no longer suitable for the hands of the Golden Mountain, and the imperial court rashly sent people over and can't suppress the forces of all parties, so the slave feels that it is appropriate to hand it over to Qin Wang." Chen Liang said.
"Give him the right to collect taxes? Is his authority too heavy? Cao Ziwen frowned.
"It's heavier, but if the right to collect taxes is from the Golden Mountain, how much of the silver will go into Dayan's treasury? Huang Jinshan is exploited once, Wenman is exploited again, and in the hands of the imperial court, I am afraid there will not be much left. Since His Majesty has decided to deal with the family, he will start with this matter. At least Qin Forget didn't have the courage to deduct taxes belonging to the imperial court. ”
Cao Ziwen thought about it carefully and felt that what Chen Liang said was very reasonable, and in the tea and horse market, the imperial court did not have the strength to influence the collection and destination of taxes to Qin
Forget, it can be regarded as a good choice.
"Okay, just give him this right, but you let people supervise him, and if he dares to act boldly, he will take it for me." Cao Ziwen clapped his hands and said, "If you issue a decree to the outside world, you will say that Qin Forget was sent to Chicheng by me, in order to make a front station for the Tea Horse Market." The cooperation with the Khitan and Lin is also my benefit, in order not to let the people suffer and regain the lost land. ”
"Your Majesty, in this way, this basin of dirty water will be splashed on the imperial court, does Your Majesty think about it again?" Chen Liang persuaded.
"Don't think about it anymore, Qin forgot to do things for the imperial court, and it is not good to bear the infamy. Didn't Qin Forget say that he felt that the imperial court was very far away from him? I just want to tell him that as long as he does something for me, I won't forget him. ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
I heard that Qin Wang, a native of Qinjia Village, Chicheng, was not weak in his year, but he had both civil and military skills, and he was brave and loyal, and he was specially given the captain of the seventh grade. I hope to make persistent efforts to guard the door for my Dayan and be loyal to the imperial court. In addition, Qin forgot to pay tribute to 7,000 war horses, recovered more than 200,000 people, lost several lands, remembered his loyalty, and specially put him in charge of the tax collection of the tea and horse market.
Chin this! ”
The so-called holy decree is just a good piece of rice paper, and the writing is also very simple and obvious, but the content of it makes Qin Wang and the others very excited.
Although the official position of the captain of Zhiguo on the seventh grade is not high, Qin Wang's direct appointment of this position from a white coat has to be said to be a huge leap. The most important thing is that Qin Wang, the captain of Zhiguo, is not a loose official, but a solid job in charge of the five counties, and the gold content is still quite high.
Yang Xuan was awarded the rank of lieutenant of Zhiguo under the seventh grade, Dong Zhuang was the lieutenant of Yilu from the seventh grade, Wang Ping, Ding Chen, Luo Gang, Cao Qing and other eight people were named the captain of Xuanjie on the eighth grade, and they were also very happy.
What's more, the imperial court actually gave Qin Wei the right to collect taxes, in other words, at least nominally, only Qin Wei was qualified to collect taxes, only he could manage the tea and horse market, and he was appointed as a serious captain of Zhiguo, so he could justifiably clean up anyone who disobeyed discipline.
Although the right to collect taxes was exciting, after calming down slightly, Qin Wu immediately knew what he should do. Qin forgot that he didn't intend to deduct even a penny from the taxes he received, and now he was at a critical stage of winning the trust of the imperial court, and it was very unwise to offend the imperial court in order to make some floating money.
Soon, someone sent more than a dozen green military attache uniforms, Qin Wang, Yang Xuan, and Dong Zhuang embroidered a biao on the patch on their chests, and Wang Ping and the three of them were just a rhinoceros.
"Tsk, fifteen-year-old Captain Zhiguo, Village Chief Qin, oh no, Captain Qin, this is the only one in the Great Yan Dynasty. Congratulations, congratulations, hurry up. Chen Liang looked at Qin Forget on the ground and said with a smile.
However, Qin Forget didn't react much, just a small lieutenant, and he hadn't taken it to heart yet.
"The grass people Qin forgot to thank the Lord Longen, long live my emperor! Banzai! Hooray! Qin Forget took Yang Xuan and the others, shouted loudly, put his hands above the top, and respectfully accepted the holy decree.
"You kid, get up." Chen Liang handed the holy decree to Qin Wang's hands and cursed with a habitual smile.
"This time, the kid can be so favored by the saint, thank you father-in-law for his kind words. Father-in-law, please come in, a banquet has been prepared inside, and you will be washed away. Qin Forget stood up, handed the holy decree to Yang Xuan behind him, and said to Chen Liang with a grateful face.
"Hehe, don't be busy, don't be busy, here is someone we want to introduce to Captain Qin." Chen Liang turned sideways slightly, revealing a martial artist behind him wearing a light scarlet military attache uniform with a bear embroidered on his chest.
"This is General Dingyuan on the fifth grade, that is, General Zhao Qianzhao, the owner of the Tongzhou Prefecture Army. General Zhao, this is the Captain Qin I mentioned to you, I hope you two can work together, serve the imperial court, and live up to the grace of God. Chen Liangle said happily, but his smile had another meaning.
After listening to Chen Liang's words, Qin Forget looked this Zhao Qian up and down slightly, this person was almost forty years old, and his well-fitting armor looked very majestic. A sallow Chinese face, staring at him gloomily, and there seemed to be murderous intent hidden in those gloomy eyes.
Qin Forget didn't know why he treated this Zhao Qian like this when he met him for the first time, but after all, he was his superior, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, "The last general, Qin Forget, has seen General Zhao." He respectfully gave Zhao Qian a standard military salute.
"Hehe, Captain Qin, Qin Forget! Ben is like thunder to you, huh? You are a small lieutenant, and you actually call yourself the last general, do you want to be subject to military law? How did Zhao Qian ignore Qin Wang's gift at all, stared at him coldly, and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Qin Wang's brows furrowed deeply, just now he thought that Zhao Qian was just giving him a dismissal, but now it seems that he really offended Zhao Qian, but he really can't remember it.
"Yes, I am humble, and I ask the general to punish me." Since others don't have a good face for themselves, then there is no need for them to put their faces on other people's cold butts, Qin Forget straightened up, looked back at Zhao Qian coldly, and replied without being humble or arrogant.
"Haha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Captain Qin just made a slip of the tongue, and General Zhao shouldn't be serious. The first time we met, everyone didn't know each other, and when they got acquainted, they naturally got along, right, General Zhao? Chen Liang, who had been watching the play for a long time next to him, saw that the two of them were stiff, so he came out to play a round in a manner.
Hearing Chen Liang say this, Zhao Qian just nodded with a gloomy face, "Zhao didn't dare to drink this wine, so I will go back to the barracks in the next place." After speaking, Zhao Qian arched his hand to Chen Liang, glanced at Qin Wang, turned his head and walked away, and several generals and generals around him also followed him, among them a young general, his eyes were vicious and abnormal, and he stared at Qin Wang fiercely for a few times before leaving unwillingly.
