Chapter 88 Sichuan Agency

Ashina Crowe heard Mu Qingfang's reminder, he was a little nervous at first, and then heard that Mu Qingfang was willing to help, so he immediately stopped worrying, and after respectfully saluting and thanking him, he turned around and went out to make arrangements.

"Alas, I haven't seen my senior brother for a long time, this ghost place, I really don't want to come again." Mu Qingfang complained again in her heart, she had been here for a long time, she used to be in the Beihu Royal Court, and she would go to Ling Yuefeng from time to time to chat, but now it was too far away.

On the other side of the Sichuan Province, the Tusi all over the country were panicked because Ling Yu quickly extinguished the rebellion, the combat effectiveness of the Beijing army was so strong, they thought that they could not match it, worried that Ling Yu would find an excuse to cook it all, for a while, the Tusi from all over the country sent messengers to find Ling Yu one after another, and came to show their loyalty, hoping that Ling Yu would not destroy them for the sake of their absolute loyalty.

Helian soldiers saw such a grand occasion, smiled, these toasts are really afraid of power but not virtue, before Helian soldiers were kind words to persuade them, and from time to time they would give some preferential treatment, in exchange for the result is that although the timid toast did not dare to rebel, but to Helian soldiers is also yang and yin, bold just like An Hongyi and others directly pulled the flag to rebel.

For a while, Helian Bing was anxious and lost a lot of hair, but he was also very sad, but now it is really feng shui in turn, and the Tusi who have not rebelled from all over the country are rushing to Chengdu Mansion to meet him and Ling Yu to show their loyalty.

Unlike Helian Bing, although Ling Yu is happy to see this kind of situation, he is also a little worried, and then he plans to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, and cancel the Tusi system here, but looking at the current situation, he knows that if he acts recklessly, he is afraid that the Tusi of the southwestern provinces will unite to rebel, at that time, although his more than 10,000 soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, but for that kind of prairie fire, it is difficult to extinguish, not to mention, and it is easy to involve bigger problems.

On this day, after sending off the toast who had come to show his loyalty, Ling Yu found Helian Bing, intending to talk to him and ask his opinion.

"Master He, stay here, I have an idea I want to communicate with you." Ling Yu saw that Helian Bing wanted to get up and leave, and hurriedly said.

"Oh? What advice does Master Hou have? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Helian Bing has been in a very good mood recently, and when he heard that Ling Yu had something to discuss, he said very happily.

"That's right, before leaving Beijing, Ben Hou and His Majesty discussed the matter of changing the land and returning to the river, and now that the rebellion has been decided, Ben Hou feels that it is time to start implementing the reform of the land and returning to the river." Ling Yu thought for a moment.

"Returning to the Stream?" Helian Bing was shocked in his heart, and then said anxiously: "Master Hou, do you know what the consequences of implementing land reform and returning to the river in the southwestern provinces will be? This official knows that Hou Ye's new army is strong in combat, and those toasts will not be your opponents, but the southwestern provinces are mountainous and densely forested, and if the toasts from all over the country are provoked to resist, things will not be so easy to clean up. ”

"Lord He misunderstood, Ben Hou didn't want to do such a large area of land reform, and he also knew that if all the land was changed and returned, it would cause very serious consequences, and this matter could only be gradual, Ben Hou meant that these Tusi who participated in the rebellion would be changed to the land first, so that it would be much less difficult to implement, and it would be justified, and it would not provoke other Tusi to resist." Ling Yu explained.

"If that's the case, you can give it a try, but Master Hou, changing the land and returning to the stream requires long-term consideration, and you must not be impulsive." Helian Bing let out a sigh of relief, and did not forget to remind Ling Yu not to act rashly.

"This is supposed to know that local affairs need the cooperation of Governor He, and the resettlement of the local people after the land reform and return to the river can no longer be like the last disaster relief, which caused some people to be dissatisfied and provoked to revolt." Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Helian Bing did not continue to object.

"This official understands this matter, and will explain it to the local officials of the Song Domain to deal with it properly, but the other Tusi Marquis had better not move for the time being, and wait until there is a good way." Helian Bing admonished.

"Other toasts, Ben Hou has an immature idea, let's take a closer look at Lord He." Ling Yu said with a smile.

Helian Bing's heart rose again, this Hou Ye has never been an official in such an area full of toasts, he has no experience, toasts are very sensitive, if they feel dangerous, they will rebel desperately, just like An Hongyi and others.

"Hou Ye, you talk about it, but the ugly words are ahead, if the official thinks it is inappropriate, he will not agree, if the Hou Ye is dissatisfied, we can write a song to submit to the Beijing Division, please Your Majesty decide." Helian Bing said.

"Hehe, Lord He, don't be impatient, after entering Sichuan, I feel that the traffic in our Sichuan province is very underdeveloped, if there is no waterway, I am afraid that there will be problems with the communication with the outside world, why don't we take this opportunity to hire the Tusi of the Song Clan to go out of the mountains to build roads, and the time to repair the roads will be very long, so that these people can see the beauty of the outside world, and they are unwilling to return to the Tusi cottage, so we can smoothly implement the land reform and return to the stream." Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Marquis Ling, are you taking it for granted, the local people are the root of the Tusi everywhere, they take it very seriously, you want to recruit them out of the mountains to build roads, do you think the Tusi can agree? If there are more, what is the difference between this and directly implementing the reform of the land and returning to the stream? Helian retorted.

"I'm afraid that Lord He has misunderstood, what Ben Hou said is not forced recruitment, but paid employment, and the Sichuan Governor Yamen pays for the construction of roads, and the employment of local people to work is also paid, and they also take care of food, presumably Tusi will not have an opinion, for them, the local people are their private property, and most of the wages we give flow into their pockets, and they don't have to pay their own food, and the reaction will not be fierce." Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Lord Ling, where do we have so much money in Sichuan Province, it costs money to build roads, money to manage food, and wages to pay, this money will go to the sea, and the official can't take it out." He Lianbing said with a wry smile, there are only a few relatively wealthy places in Sichuan Province, although they are not poor, but it is still very difficult to come up with such a large amount of money.

"Lord He, I wonder if if the Lingke Chamber of Commerce opens a shop in Chengdu Mansion, will it help the taxation of Sichuan Province?" When Ling Yu saw Helian Bing like this, he threw out the big salute he had prepared.

Helian Bing's eyes lit up, Lingke Chamber of Commerce, all kinds of spirit guides that are currently most popular in Da Zhou are from this Chamber of Commerce, and you don't know who Ling Yu is in Da Zhou, but there are absolutely few people who don't know about Lingke Chamber of Commerce.

Needless to say, if the Lingke Chamber of Commerce opens a shop in Chengdu Mansion, the business will naturally be very good, and the annual tax is also scary.

"Master Hou...... What Hou Ye said is true? Helian Bing didn't believe his ears, as far as he knew, the Lingke Chamber of Commerce had not opened or authorized the opening of any shops outside the capital so far, was this to set a precedent in Chengdu Mansion under his rule? Among other things, businessmen from neighboring provinces will flock to Chengdu.

"Of course it's true, and there is also the fact that when we build roads, we can build wider roads, we can set up checkpoints on the road, collect low tolls, and use them to subsidize road repair expenses, there are shops in the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, how will the trade routes in the neighboring provinces prosper, presumably Lord He can foresee that when the time comes, a lot of tolls can be collected, not to mention the taxes of shops, what does Lord He think?" Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, Marquis Ling, this matter is considered very feasible by the official, so let's do it according to Marquis Ling's methods." After Helian Bing confirmed Ling Yu's meaning, he was extremely excited, which would make his data very beautiful when evaluating his performance.

"Well, since Lord He has no opinion, I will start arranging it, but things are not done overnight, let's take care of those rebellious Tusi stockades first, and then open a chamber of commerce, and then hire the Tusi people to go out of the mountains to build roads." Ling Yu briefly introduced his thoughts. Funny

"Well, that's very good, Master Hou has thought it through, and the official has no opinion, by the way, where is the Lingke Chamber of Commerce going to open a shop in Chengdu Mansion? As long as you tell the official, the official has done everything for Marquis Ling. He Lianbing said excitedly, he couldn't wait, not only would he have a low-cost spirit guide to use in the future, but he could also make himself a winner when he was appraised, how could his heart not be hot.

"This matter is for Benhou to think about, but Lord He can rest assured, he will definitely deal with this matter before Benhou returns to Beijing." Ling Yu said, what he wanted was to give the sales rights of Sichuan Province directly to the Li family to deal with it, no matter how troublesome he was in the province, other places would deal with it in the future, and it was the best choice to find local famous families to cooperate.

"In this way, the official will not affect the Hou Ye's thinking, and this matter will be pleased, and the official will also be ready to hire local people to build the road, and at the same time send people out to start exploring and planning the route." Helian Bing said energetically.

"It's so good, I'm not familiar with the affairs of the place, so I'll ask Lord Tohe." Ling Yu also said with a smile.

After the two finished chatting, Helian Bing went back to arrange it in a hurry, and Ling Yu smiled, he planned to go to the Chengguo Mansion again to discuss this matter with Li Hao, the future father-in-law.

Now Li Xin has become one of his guards, because he is still in Sichuan Province, in order to make things easier, Ling Yu asked Li Xin to follow him after his daily training, after all, Li Xin is familiar with people in Sichuan.

Through Li Xin, Ling Yu soon met Li Hao again.

"Ling boy, do you miss my old man so soon? It's only been a day. Li Hao saw Ling Yu walk in and joked with a smile.

"The younger generation has seen the old man, and I came here today to discuss something." Ling Yu bowed respectfully.

"Oh? You have something to do with me? Tell me, haven't you always had a lot of ideas? Li Hao listened and said with a smile.

"Well, that's the case, the younger generation plans to hand over the agency of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce in Sichuan Province to the Li family to operate, and it can be supplied to the Li family at a 6% discount, and the Li family will come forward to start the Chengdu branch of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce." Ling Yu said with a smile on his face.

Li Hao was stunned after hearing this, of course he knew that the Lingke Chamber of Commerce now benefited from the various convenient spiritual guides of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, and he couldn't do without it, and he also knew that the opportunity that the big families and wealthy families everywhere couldn't ask for was so inexplicably smashed on the head of the Li family, and he didn't react at once.

Li Xin on the side was naturally surprised and inexplicable, when he discussed with Helian Bing before, they were all guarding the door, so naturally they didn't know.

After a while, Li Hao came back to his senses and smiled: "Ling boy, it's useless for the big families everywhere to beg you for such a good thing, is there any bad idea to take the initiative this time?" "You can't blame Li Hao for thinking too much, such a big pie obviously can't be smashed on his head so easily.

Ling Yu knew that Li Hao couldn't be smashed by the big pie in a hurry, so he naturally had doubts, so he patiently recounted the matter he had discussed with Helian Bing to Li Hao before.

After a long time, Li Hao let out a sigh of relief and said: "Ling boy, you are in the next big game of chess, if you succeed, it will be a good achievement for Da Zhou, Your Majesty can have a son-in-law like you, I really don't know what kind of good luck you have, it seems that my old man's luck is also good, you are also my son-in-law." ”

"The old man praises falsely, I don't know if the old man has anything to add to this matter?" Ling Yu directly skipped Li Hao's last sentence and said.

Li Xin looked at his father and brother-in-law with great excitement, he didn't expect that the first shot of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce out of Jinling was actually fired with the participation of his Li family, which made him honored, the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, such a famous existence in Da Zhou finally released the first agency.

"Hehe, you have thought it through, my old man has nothing to add, but there is a suggestion, that is, what you have to do is very big, and a little carelessness will cause very bad consequences, so you must take it step by step, you must not be impatient, and you must not arouse the suspicion of the toasts, otherwise in the end you may only use strong force to solve it, I think this is what Your Majesty does not want to see." Li Hao thought for a while and reminded.

"Thank you for the old man's reminder, the younger generation knows in his heart that he will not be reckless." Ling Yu said respectfully.

"Well, that's fine, Xin'er, go and call your second uncle." Li Hao said and instructed Li Xin.

Li Xin obeyed the order, and Ling Yu accompanied Li Hao to drink tea in the living room and wait.

After a while, Li Xin walked in with a middle-aged man, who looked much younger than Li Hao, the age gap of the Li family was quite large, Li Hao, as the head of the family and the patriarch, was already sixty years old, but his children were not big, and his younger brothers were more than ten years younger than him.

"Big brother, what are you looking for me? I was just going to inspect our shop. The middle-aged man laughed.

"Hehe, second brother, let me introduce you to you, this is the famous Lingwu Hou Lingyu, the founder of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, oh, he will also be Yun'er's husband in the future." Li Hao pointed at Ling Yu and introduced.

"Ling boy, this is my younger brother, Li Shang, who specializes in managing our Li family's business, anyway, you will be my son-in-law sooner or later, so call him second uncle." Li Hao pointed to Li Shang and introduced.

"The younger generation has seen the second uncle." Ling Yu respectfully saluted towards Li Shang, since Li Hao had already made it clear, Ling Yu no longer twisted and saluted generously.

"Okay, Marquis Ling, I've always heard your name here, your Spirit Science Chamber of Commerce is now a household name in Da Zhou, you have to treat my family well in the future, otherwise the second uncle won't be able to spare you." Li Shang said yes in a loud voice, patted Ling Yu's shoulder and said, looking very bold.

"Okay, second brother, calling you here today is a great thing that is unavoidable for our Li family, don't be too excited when you hear it later." Li Hao smiled mysteriously.
