Sure enough, as soon as Du Ya went up, Liu Xuanzuo of the Xuanwu Army of Bianzhou also followed, and then the irrelevant Ziqing Li Na, Huaixi Wu Shaocheng, Wei Bo Tianxu and others all followed up in turn.

Although now Xuanshu Han Wei and Bai Zhizhen of Zhejiang East and West are the emperor's people, but the middle section of the gate valve is in the hands of others, if you take the Yangtze River route and then turn to Xingyuan Mansion, now it has been blocked by the robbers of the river, the emperor can not watch the rich money and rice of Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road rot in Runzhou Jingkou, and after discussing with Li Mi and Dou Sen, he can only reluctantly agree.

Gao Yue's unstoppable movement had not yet been sent to Chang'an City, and all the towns from the Central Plains to the southeast began to frantically divide up the ships left behind by Han Yun, and at the boundary of the entire more than 2,000-mile Cao Yun route, a dense "daitang" was built, in other words, it was about equal to the current highway toll station.

As a result, this year's two taxes are a big bad!

When the ship from the south of the Yangtze River arrived at Jingkou, and then arrived at the Huaishui waterway, Daitang in Huainan sent slender men to forcibly pull the fiber, and then asked for high tolls and fiber pulling fees;

Then he entered the Bianshui and was blackmailed by many daitangs.

According to the usual practice, the two taxes that should have been transported to Beijing should have more than 2 million stone rice and tens of millions of dollars, but this year they were "plucked by geese" by the towns along the road, and less than half of them finally arrived in Weikou!

The emperor was furious.

This is almost tantamount to an open robbery.

Because the emperor angrily scolded Li Mi and Dou Shen for not being able to discern the stakes.

Li Mi wanted to make amends, but it was too late: Liu Xuanzuo and Du Ya took the extorted money as legitimate income and generously rewarded the town soldiers, so the generals of Fang Zhen in Henan Province and Huainan Province were even more arrogant, and they all supported the Jiedu envoy to continue to set up daitangs and collect tolls for Cao Yun, and did not put the prestige of the court in their eyes at all.

At the same time, Ziqing and Huaixi also joined forces, and began to corrupt the salt law in the southeast.

In order to better use salt to support the northwest anti-autumn military town, Liu Yan had implemented the "false estimation method", that is, Liu Yan asked the salt merchants in the southeast to give more silk cloth to serve as the clothes of the soldiers of the northwest military town, so they were unified to use silk cloth to make salt (if you use copper coins, the transportation cost is much higher than that of silk cloth), and the price of each silk cloth Liu Yan overestimated by about 200 wen - so that the salt merchants could exchange the silk cloth for more salt to sell the profits, and at the same time they were willing to bear the cost of this batch of silk cloth to be transported to the northwest borderland.

But now the false estimation method is developing in a bad direction: Du Ya is in Huainan, while brutally exploiting salt households, in order to suppress the salt cost; On the other hand, he colluded with the salt merchants, and overestimated the price of salt, and a silk cloth was overestimated by four or five hundred wen when exchanging salt, and the excess part was divided between Duya and the salt merchants - and the price of salt also soared, not only in the southeast, but also in Jingnan, Eyue, Jiangxi and other non-salt-producing areas The people were miserable, and at the same time, the high profits of salt prices made the people who could not afford to eat salt or who were interested in salt become illegal salt dealers or bandits, and began to cook and sell illegal salt, and the imperial court lost nearly one million yuan in salt profits every year.

Wu Shaocheng of Huaixi seized the opportunity to smuggle salt from Ziqing on a large scale, and in addition to satisfying his own needs, he also resold it to Jingnan, Jiangxi and other places in the middle of the road to make huge profits.

The bloody and cruel scene made Gao Yue understand that this group of Caoyun interest groups colluded with the half-divided Fang Zhen, and finally began to act mischiefly after Han Rong's death.

He immediately wrote a letter to his master Liu Yan, who lived in seclusion in Huazhou, asking for a strategy.

Almost at the same time, the emperor sent a discouraged secret letter, which said that the two taxes and salt profits had been corrupted by more than half, resulting in insufficient military spending, and the Shence army could not be expanded.

The emperor was discouraged, and Gao Yue was also depressed because of the variables that had been full of plans.

Originally, he just wanted to work under the arrangement of Xingyuan Mansion, so he took his family to Fengxiang Mansion.

But who would have thought that this summer and autumn, so many disturbing things happened at once, leaving him stranded in Xingyuan for more than four months.

In fact, this year, the original situation was very good, the entire Guanzhong, Northwest, Lingwu and Xingyuan, the wheat has been abundant, and the soldiers are full of food, just waiting for the money and wealth of the southeast to come again, but now, ......

When it was time for the rest of the day, Gao Yue was very happy, so he handed over the matter of organizing the autumn society celebration to Liu De's room, rode his horse, and returned to the Antler Village sullenly.

"Qingqing, what is the matter that bothers me, I saw you sigh for the third time." After dinner, in the main bed, Gao Yue wore a white middle single, put his hand on his raised knee, and sat in front of the low table.

Yun He also felt that something was wrong with his brother-in-law, so he pricked up his ears.

And Zhi Hui blocked the leaves on her little face, her eyes flashed left and right, they played "promotion map", and they must not show their expressions to their opponents.

Anyway, before Liu Yan's reply arrived, Gao Yue opened his mouth and told the three Hongyan about the matter, and then put down the leaves, "The male Zhuge in the military government has not made a decision for the time being, and the female Zhuge in Lujiaozhuang will tell me their thoughts?" ”

So the three of them also put down the leaves, put their heads together, laughed and cooed, and then Yun Shao covered his mouth and laughed, pointed to various things in the bedroom, and asked Gao Yue: "Qingqing will test you, tell me the source of the house?" ”

Gao Yue first looked at the copper furnace of incense and said, "The copper of Zizhou is the incense of Hui." ”

At this time, Yunhe raised his eyebrows and pointed to the purple gauze curtain hanging on the beam, Gao Yue said: "The yarn silk of Shuzhou, the water practice of Shudu, and the white jade of Xiaoguan in Yuanzhou." ”

And Yun Shao pointed to the bed under the Luo tent, Gao Yue thought, "Yangzhou wood and bamboo." ”

Yun Shao pointed to the makeup on the long case, and Gao Yue replied, "The fat powder produced in Shudu, the dansha and realgar powder in Xingyuan, and the gold powder in Qianzhong." ”

And Zhihui laughed, revealing her fine white teeth, "What about the kitchen?" ”

"Xingyuan's rice, wheat, and medicine, and Xichuan's salt and Dongchuan's salt."

"Where's the farm tools and the horse mill in Antler Village?"

"The iron of Lizhou, the cattle and horses of Fengxiang and Jingyuan."

"And what about the sheep robe that the mistress just knitted for you?"

"It's also the wool from the sheep on the other side of Jingyuan!"

After the three of them finished asking, Gao Yue suddenly thought about it, touched his chin, and stood up excitedly, "What do the female Zhuge mean." ”

At this time, Sister Yun Shao and Zhi Hui covered their mouths with fans, and laughed with a grin, saying that now Weicheng Wuzhen Shudi, Du Huangshang Town Dongchuan, Songqing, you Zhenfengxiang, Xingyuan, Xing Junya, Liu Haibin, Zhenjingyuan and you are friendly again, and they will send a Banan observation envoy to return to the Que, Songqing, you will ask the imperial court, let a familiar person come to the office, so that the entire northwest and southwest are not all His Majesty's "backyard", although the taxes of a single Fang town are not as rich as the southeast, but as long as Songqing you contact Shannan Dongdao, Jingnan, Hunan, Eyue and other towns with the same qi and branches- Let's work together, these towns have rice, grain, salt, horses, cattle and sheep, copper, iron, gold and silver, water transportation, and nothing is lacking.

Gao Yue then stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "What the female Zhuge said is wonderful, I will soon protect each other in the southwest and northwest, no, it is the emperor of the southwest and northwest!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's continue to fly up the official map." At this time, Yun Shao saw that her husband was also at ease, so she hit him on the arm with a fan and pleaded.

Whoever wanted to continue, the three girls called in unison, "Qingqing (Song Qing, third brother) You are deposed!" Then the leaves were put down - Yun Shao to Taifu, Yun He to Taiwei, Zhi Hui to the servant, only Gao Yue was Cai to the "stolen goods" and demoted to the county lieutenant.

"Unlucky, unlucky, you just colluded, didn't you?" Gao Yue rolled up his sleeves, and then suddenly realized......
