"So your name is Zhang Baogao?" Gao Yue said with interest.

"Under the festival, the Chinese name of this Silla Nu is a crime." Yang Xi said that Zhang Baogao's high character happened to coincide with Gao Yue's surname.

Gao Yue said that the offense was only a name, and it had nothing to do with the surname, and then said to Zhang Baogao very generously: "You might as well change your name and change Bao to Bao." ”

When the clever Zhang Baogao heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and shouted: "Xie Guogong gave him the name, and since then I will be Zhang Baogao, as his name suggests, the saddle horse will not leave the country!" ”

"This road does not need your protection, and then you will enter Zhang Xi's account as a military academy, and during the water war, you will be the light horse of this road, and you will definitely cut the head of the thief and make meritorious deeds." Gao Yue pushed the handle of the flying white fan forward slightly, knocked on the floor, and clearly asked Zhang Baogao, "After conquering the south, if you are still alive, this way recommends you to enter the Yangzhou Martial Arts Palace of the Ming Shame Sect." ”

"Xie Guogong." Then Zhang Baogao took another half step forward and kowtowed to request, "My Jinhua country is now in a difficult world, and pirates are raging, if Baogao can make a small achievement here in Guogong in the future, I hope to borrow the power of Guogong to sweep the sea route and stabilize the mother country, I hope that my Jinhua villagers will never be plundered and sold into slavery." ”

"Unexpectedly, you are also a loyal servant of Silla...... It's okay, it just so happens that I am going to open up trade to the entire Haidong, and you can sweep away the pirates for me, I can't ask for it. ”

So at this moment, in the courtyard of the military government, the prince and young master of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Guogong, and a Silla islander, reached a promise, which was enough to affect the entire Haidong, that is, including Tang, Bohai, Silla and Japan.

In the summer, the craftsmen of the four ship yards of Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Mingzhou and Hangzhou sweated like rain and worked hard to build all kinds of ships.

And in the Yantie Patrol Courtyard after the Yangtze Town, an official rode a horse and returned from the distant Lingnan.

This person is none other than the former Yangtze who was previously degraded, Xu Cang.

And after Wang Haichao overthrew Pei Yanling and Li Qiyun, Gao Yue was a man of his word, and immediately recommended him as the assassin of Chuzhou, replacing Bai Jigeng, who could not go to the post due to illness.

Wang Haichao left the Yangtze Courtyard with his whole body, and Xu Cang came.

Xu Cang went to the military palace first, paid homage to Engong Gaoyue, and reported to him: "The Huangdong barbarian army in Xiyuan has expanded to more than 200,000, and the momentum is huge, and Guiguan and Yongguan have all been captured by them. The Qiang army, Jingliu army and Qing navy of Du Gong of Lingnan concentrated in Rongguan, and contacted the slang clans loyal to our Tang Dynasty to block Huang Shaoqing and Huang Shaogong's brothers to protect Lingnan Dongdao. Huang Jiadong's attempt to enter Guangzhou was blocked, so he dispatched another brother, Huang Shaodu, to lead the army north, trying to attack Shao, Yong, Dao and other prefectures in Hunan along the Gui Pipeline. ”

"The two-year period has expired, and Du Gong still can't extinguish the cave barbarian rebellion." Gao Yue sighed.

"The thieves are mighty, and they don't fight alone. Annan's cave barbarians Feng Xing and Feng Xiao brothers, contacted the barbarian chief Du Yinghan, as early as six years ago, besieged the Annan Protectorate, and the capital protector Gao Zhengping died of sorrow, and the group of barbarians stole according to Annan so far, and the Huangdong Barbarians are each other's inside and outside, so they don't need to be strong, it is difficult to eradicate. Then Xu Cang told Gao Yue a secret rumor:

"Du Ling lives in Guangzhou Mansion, and he is looking forward to the arrival of Wei Gong's reinforcements day and night!"

Gao Yue understood, so he said: "It is natural for this Tao to assist Du Pingping in the chaos, and this autumn I will send troops to Lingnan...... However, military spending is lacking. ”

At this moment, Xu Cang's eyes lit up, and he said that he was willing to do what he did to assist the late Xiao Guogong Ban Hong, and do his best to help Wei Gong and take care of the entire Yangzi Rear Patrol Hospital.

"Many salt merchants in Yangzhou were reluctant to help the army before, and they instigated the soldiers who were selected to occupy the long street of Heguan to make trouble, but relying on Pei Yanling in the court, Pei has now killed himself, so you can do it boldly with confidence."

"Do you want to find the salt merchant for colluding with Pei Yanling?"

Under the candlelight, Gao Yue, who was sitting on the Yin seat, shook his head, "There is no need to mention this matter again, you have to take into account the face of the Holy Lord of Daming Palace, eradicate the salt merchants, I have a military mansion, 18,000 Wuyi troops plus 8,000 Zhenshu disciples, plus your dignified patrol, isn't it enough?" Salt merchants liked to hide money the most, so they enforced the 'ban on money accumulation' and the 'law of sueping'. ”

"If the salt merchants dig up the gold and silver from the cellars, what about the purchase of the land?"

"There must be a contract for the purchase of land, which is delimited by today, and in the future, if there is a contract for the purchase of land, two taxes and one will be the government's money. This decree will be implemented until the winter solstice this year, and then it will be announced, which will also facilitate us to paint the fields of Chu, Yang and other weeks during this period. ”

Gao Yue's temporary re-addition of the land deed to half of the transaction amount is to prevent salt merchants from taking the opportunity to invest money in the field to avoid the crackdown, and in addition, it can also "freeze" the field transactions in the second half of the year, so as to facilitate the inventory of the Jingjie Patrol Court and the preparation of the anvil base national accounting book.

"In the end, the salt merchant's money can only be used to buy salt."

Speaking of salt introduction, Gao Yue took a long breath and said to Xu Can: "Li Qi's method is good...... Don't worry about the shortage of manpower in the patrol hospital, before painting Cai, Shou, Lu, Guang, Shu and other places, including more than 300,000 grains, 2780,000 taxes, in addition to the use of shipbuilding, but also spend part, to expand the capacity of the patrol hospital, and to retain the officials of the state and county who understand financial planning to use for your use...... Now you have to clean up the patrol yard and crack down on the salt merchants, so you have to reuse those officials who were previously depressed and excluded, they did not eat the gold silk sent by the salt merchants, they are innocent, they are fearless in doing things, and they are frustrated and resentful, and they hate those colleagues who eat fat, as long as they can make this group of people open their mouths and do their hands, everything will go well. ”

Xu Cang immediately floated into the white.

Within a few days, Xu Cang, who presided over staying in the backyard, immediately caught several old enemies, who were the ones who framed him for embezzlement in the first place - and now Xu Cang's revenge is ten times greater!

Gao Yue also supported Xu Can, saying that the problem of Yangzi staying in the backyard was very big, and it reached the point where "the charm and the ghosts were full of it", and authorized Xu Cang to investigate and investigate thoroughly, and gave the inspection court to the "Salt and Iron Division" in the three divisions of the imperial court: Meng Zhongyang, the governor of the Shoulu Salt and Iron Patrol Academy, immediately sent a group of capable court officials with the title of supervising the imperial history to settle in the Yangtze Academy and accept Xu Can's jurisdiction.

Inside the Yangtze Academy, many officials who had been frustrated before also joined in and made accusations everywhere.

For a time, the sticks in the Yangtze Courtyard were crackling, the fear of guilt that could not bear it was suicide, the confession that could not survive was climbed, a lot of family property was "levied and punished", and stacks of books were piled up in front of Xu Cang, who was like frost, the more tired and higher the higher.

Then there is the major salt merchants who attacked Yangzhou.

The reason is that Wei Guogong issued a 'ban on money accumulation' and a 'sue order'.

The ban on money storage is to prohibit the storage of gold and silver in the cellars of the salt commercial cellars, and the prohibition of the use of bronze utensils for the use of salt, if the family has kept 300 yuan of money, all the excess amount will be confiscated;

As long as the salt merchant's family, neighbors, and slaves can be exposed for the crime of concealing money, concealing family property, and deceiving the household registration, the salt merchant's confiscated family property will receive a quarter.

The two-pronged approach, and then the salt merchants of the entire Yangzhou suddenly fell into hell mode.
