Zhiguo Chen Bing Xianguo border, at first thought it was for the Northern Expedition to Xianguo, but now it seems that it was Guangxin Gong Yu Zhiguo secretly plotting to usurp the throne, and by the way, drove the Jin State out of Xianguo.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Zhiguo did not take advantage of the fire to rob and send troops to attack Xianguo in the first battle of Jiangdong back then. No one could have imagined that the old enemy who has been in the dark for decades will one day be able to draw a sword to help.

It's just that after Fang Bo sealed Chan Yin Yangcheng, if Zhiguo launched a northern expedition, it would be difficult to occupy the cities along the Jiangdong coast with lightning speed, let alone deter the Jin army from crossing the river, so if he continued to attack Xianguo himself, he would lose his fighters.

Invisibly, Bailiyan broke the plan of Guangxin Gong, and when Guangxin Gong learned about it, I am afraid that he could not tolerate him. Thinking of this, Bai Liyan said again:

"General Zhao, please forgive me for speaking out."

Zhao Xun opened the curtain at this time and looked out, without any fluctuations on his face. Ding Su, who was shrinking on the side, didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but just listened patiently. After a while, Zhao Xun said:

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Guangxin Gong is a suspicious person?"

Zhao Xun nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes:

"Exactly, Guangxin is suspicious by nature, but it is the descendant of the Jiang family."

"Then why didn't the general wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision, and he had to turn to Guangxin Gong at this time." Bai Liyan was careful, only afraid that she would be reprimanded by Zhao Xun for saying the wrong thing.

"Mr. Wei has ever met the king?" Zhao Xun asked, with a deep meaning in his words.

"I've seen it twice, I don't know what the general means?"

"That gentleman thinks that the king and the Guangxin Duke are similar."

"Hiss......"

Bai Liyan was taken aback when he heard the news, and he said:

"Do you say, do you say ......?"

"Exactly, Fengyangjun's rebellion was born from this."

Zhao Xun's insinuation is already very clear, today's Xianwang Jiang Hai is the wild seed born by the queen mother who stole a man outside, and the abolition of the eldest son Fengyang Jun Jiang He and the establishment of the youngest son Jiang Hai are likely to be the result of the queen mother's blowing pillow wind.

But Bailiyan is a human being in two lifetimes, and he is a doctor, and he knows the relationship between genetic relationship and bloodline, although King Xian and Guangxin Gong were in the same vein three generations ago, it is said that there is one-eighth of genetic inheritance, and it is too far-fetched to say that they are not like each other.

But the problem is that people nowadays believe it, at least Zhao Xun's attitude shows that he believes in it.

Whether it is true or not, this incident itself is a family ugly, Fengyang Jun Jiang He, as the eldest son, naturally can't swallow this breath when he is fanned by hearsay, and he suffers from no empirical evidence.

In this way, the palace infighting of that year did not end, but continued to this day, causing internal trouble.

Even though Zhao Xun is an upright person, it seems that it is difficult to attach himself to King Xian when he has offended Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, and Jiang Yan is the uncle of King Xian, the Queen Mother, since Jiang Yan recognizes Jiang Hai, the King of Xian, taking refuge in Jiang Yan means that Zhao Xun also has to recognize the legitimacy of Jiang Hai's status, which is obviously not in line with the political creed that Zhao Xun abides by.

Yesterday, Guangxin Gong personally co-opted, and he must have secretly broken the matter, even if Zhao Xun didn't want to defect, he had no way out.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan asked mysteriously:

"Then, can Xihuan be aware?"

"I think I should know, but even if I know, I can't do anything about it."

When Fengyangjun took refuge in the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that he would not know that he would end up lifting a stone to hit himself in the foot, and the Jin Kingdom did not expect that he would bury the biggest bargaining chip with his own hands. If Fengyang Jun was still alive, as long as he waited for time and forced Jiang Hai to take the throne in the name of the empress dowager's adultery, the Jin State might be able to reap more practical benefits from the Xian Kingdom.

Looking at it now, Gongsun Yue was in a hurry to kill Fengyang Jun back then, but he was also worried that the matter would be exposed, but let the Jin State get the handle to continue the crusade. However, Feng Yangjun didn't dare to make this ugly family public after all, and in the end, he became a ghost.

It's just that I don't know how Xihuan will feel when she learns that she is married to a fake pseudo-prince after marrying into the prince's mansion.

"General Zhao, with all due respect. The general recommended to serve Guangxin Gong below, is it a temporary expedient measure for the general? ”

Zhao Xun glanced at him in a daze, and said with a gloomy face:

"Mr. Wei is really delicate, and he really has this intention. If you get Guangxin to be reused and seek great things, I will not guarantee you in vain. If it is difficult to achieve a major event in Guangxin, I can also deal with you in Chenling and retreat for you. ”

Zhao Xun's implication is that if Guangxin Gong's power usurpation fails, he will help him flee abroad, or in the name of driving into the secret pile around Guangxin Gong, he will instantly fall to King Xian, so as to accept his name. But in this way, Bailiyan is likely to be imprisoned. However, it has come to this point, even if you don't choose a side, it will be difficult to get out.

Zhao Xun's intention is to use Guangxin Gong as a bargaining chip to seek the greatest balance between the various factions. As long as Guangxin Gong does not rebel, the special relationship between Zhao Xun and Guangxin Gong is a talisman that cannot be ignored.

If Guangxin conspires against him, he can borrow Bailiyan at any time, tear off this label, and turn inward at the right time.

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of the Zhao Mansion, and Zhao Xun picked up the curtain and stepped off the carriage to return to the mansion. Ding Su continued to order people to drive the carriage to the west of the city and send Bailiyan back to Yicaotang. On the way, Ding Su asked:

"Mr. Wei, what did you say to the adults, why did you listen to them in the clouds?"

Bailiyan said noncommittally:

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, Ding Caidong should not ask more, beware of King Xian cutting off your head."

Ding Su was ordered to sneak back to the tomb to report for help, but Jiang Hai, the king of Xian, refused to send reinforcements to Gongsun Yue's plan, and put Ding Su on death row, which had a great impact on Ding Su and was one of the reasons why he quit the army.

At this time, Bai Liyan hinted at him with the saying that King Xian had killed his head, and he naturally understood the seriousness of Fang Cai's matter. Moreover, Zhao Xunming's face fell to Guangxin Gong, and he had no reason to do stupid things that harmed himself and Zhao Xun's interests.

At this time, Ding Su asked again:

"Mr. Wei, I discussed with Lord Zhao for a long time yesterday, if the new policy of "Promoting Business Tax" is followed, I am afraid that I will go bankrupt, Mr. Wei can have a good way to avoid trouble."

"Why, in the Hou Fu of Xia Guangxin, Ding Caidong didn't hear it clearly?"

"Isn't that Mr. Wei's plan dedicated to Guangxin Gong, what do I do?"

Bai Liyan smiled and said:

Ding Caidong can also follow suit. In the name of General Zhao, most of the money in his hand can be exchanged for easy-to-sell goods and hoarded in General Zhao's mansion, and when the price rises, he will choose the opportunity to get rid of it. The money obtained from getting rid of it was deposited in the Zhao Mansion in the name of General Zhao, so that he could get away with the crime. ”

Ding Su said worriedly:

"Lord Zhao has always been honest, even Ding is no exception, I'm afraid Lord Zhao will not agree."

"This matter is easy to do, there is still a period of time for the full implementation of the "Push Business Tax", Ding Caidong can go to the Tax Department to truthfully declare the tax, and the Tax Department will issue a tax receipt, and then go to General Zhao's mansion to do activities. With the tax receipts in hand, Ding Caidong told the general about Wei's intentions, and the general would inevitably agree. ”

"But in this way, the wealth of the next family is not well known."

"That's better than having your house raided. Besides, with the commercial goods in hand, who knows how much Ding Caidong sells. As long as you pay taxes according to the actual amount, you are afraid that the tax department will not be able to check you. ”

The Department of Taxation is the current tax yamen, responsible for tax collection, the highest prefect tax envoy, specializing in industrial and commercial tax calculation and tax recovery, governed by the prime minister and the king.

At present, the trend of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is prevalent, and agricultural output and poll tax are still the main sources of taxes.

However, as another source of the monarch's finance and taxation, it has been used for a long time to divide the financial power, prevent the big Si Nong from being dominant, and can also bypass the big Si Nong at a critical moment and directly tax the agricultural field. The new deal "Promoting Commercial Tax" is a new deal implemented with the function of the tax department, bypassing the big farmer.

The New Deal simply excluded the wealthy from the tax, which undoubtedly opened the door to the powerful.

As long as Ding Su used the name of Zhao Xun to exchange the money in his hand for storage-resistant goods in the shortest possible time, and hoarded the easy-to-sell goods in the Zhao Mansion, and then sat back and waited for the "Tui Shang Tax" to wipe out the so-called profiteers and unrighteous criminals.

At that time, there will be no one out of ten merchants in Xianguo, and in the end it will be difficult to guarantee even the most basic people's biological resources, and the price will not skyrocket.

The carriage returned to the west of the city and stopped outside the Yicao Hall, and inside the half-open gate, a man's wailing could be faintly heard. Sent Ding Su away, Baili Yanjing went inside, and an old man knelt on the ground, begging Xiao Er bitterly.

"Xiao'er, why are you wailing so much."

Xiao Er said eagerly:

"Brother Wei, you're finally back. This old man wants Brother Wei to go to the doctor, how many times have I said that Big Brother is not here, but he just stayed here. ”

The old man had gray hair, yellow face and thin muscles kneeling on the ground, not very old, only forty-five or sixteen, a pair of blackened old hands like sand paper gave birth to a thick layer of calluses, it can be seen that it is a common people who have been engaged in manual labor for a long time.

Bai Liyan leaned down and asked:

"In the next is Yicaotanglang, the old man please get up and speak."

The old man turned around, stuffed a hundred coins, hugged Bailiyan's thigh, and did not let go of life or death, and continued to cry and said:

"Wei Langzhong, save my miserable son, save him."

"Uncle, why do you want to cry so much, it's not that you are suffering from a bad disease."

"My son was only broken by the king's treasure bottle dedicated to the king of Jin, and his legs were broken by the supervisor of the kiln." The old man said while crying, very desolate.

The old man's real name is Liu Zao, is the potter of the royal kiln outside the city, Liu Zao's wife died in the kiln collapse accident five years ago, and now only his only son Liu Chuan is left to rely on each other.

The Imperial Department is responsible for the production of Wang's household utensils, the official kiln outside the city is a government-run kiln under the name of the Imperial Division, specializing in the royal pottery firing, porcelain, Xianguo because of the abundance of clay, kaolin, pottery, porcelain output is huge, is the main commodity of export.

At present, the ceramic technology is not very mature and developed, the technology is in the hands of the royal family and the elite class, which restricts the production and development of ceramics, coupled with the immaturity of exploration technology, the kaolin required for porcelain comes mostly from accidental discoveries, the production of porcelain is greatly affected, the output is not very large, and the price is very expensive compared to the ordinary class.

Because Antai Hou Ji went to the Jin Kingdom by means of Chenling, the Xian King planned to pay tribute to a batch of high-quality porcelain from the Xian Kingdom to the Jin King to play, and opened the kiln early this morning, Liu Zao's only son Liu Chuan accidentally knocked over a pair of porcelain bottles.

Breaking two porcelain vases is not a big deal, but it is not.

The tire of this pair of porcelain bottles is extremely thin, it is the thinnest ceramic that can be fired nowadays, the porcelain tire is so thin, the molding rate is of course very low, a furnace fired a total of 500, a total of a pair of pairs, this pair was also broken, and the kiln supervisor broke Liu Chuan's legs in anger.

Behind the official kiln is the Imperial Division, which offended the Imperial Division, of course, no one dared to come forward to give Liu Chuan a bone. Liu Zao ran all over the city and begged Bailiyan here.

"Uncle, don't worry, this matter is on me."

"Xie Wei Langzhong, I'm kowtowing to you here."

Liu Zao snapped his head twice, and the muffled sound of the stone slab sounded, Bai Liyan helped him up and said to Xiao Er:

"Xiao'er, go to the backyard warehouse to get forty catties of plaster and pack it on the horse. I went to Liu's house for a visit, and I hope to come back in the evening. ”

"Well, I'll go."

Baili Yan should be visited by Liu Zao, not for the sake of the consultation fee, but because he is not used to the things of the Imperial Division.

The royal division is now controlled by the queen mother, the head of the royal division is the eunuch Huangmen Ling Guo Pan, Guo Pan is only forty years old, deeply trusted by the queen mother, the royal division belongs to the royal house, Guo Pan took over after it is flying and domineering, and even in the jurisdiction of Dingyang City bordering Guangxin City, there is a hidden field, although the queen mother is the inner palace, but her hand has reached the territory of Guangxin Gong.

Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, is the cousin-in-law of Jiang Hai, the king of Xian, and the queen mother's family is related to the past. Now Guo Pan, a vicious dog, is raised in the fiefdom of Dingyang Hou, intending to release Guo Pan to bite Guangxin Gong at a critical moment.

After packing up, Bai Liyan led the pack horse to Liu Zao's house in the west of the city.
