Chapter 48 Don't drive in Cangzhou

The problem of fineness is solved, but what about the passes along the way?

Xu Qing also has a way, he said straightly: "The activities of merchants should not be under local jurisdiction, and there is a commercial tax department, and all those who transport grain to the border customs have a brand of tax exemption......" Xu Qing moved out, and he got that set of methods in Cangzhou, but he just changed the object.

Li Jing is a god-like figure, even if he doesn't understand the method Xu Qing said, but with that instinct to anticipate the enemy first, he also knows the benefits of Xu Qing's method. But when it comes to many systems such as passes, taxes, etc., even if he is as high as Li Jing, he doesn't dare to point fingers, so Li Jing said: "It's too difficult...... It's too hard ......."

"The younger brother is reckless, but this method is feasible, or it can be used by the younger brother in a word or two." Xu Qing didn't expect Li Jing to accept this method in its entirety, he only hoped that a small half of it could be used. Even if it's a small half, it will be of great benefit to the disadvantages of today's escorts.

"Will think about it......" Li Jing replied, his sentence is not that kind of perfunctory consideration, but really thinking of a way, not long after, the first batch of merchants, the merchants, set out from Chang'an and did experiments. In the next year, two years, there will be more and more such merchants. Twenty or thirty years later, the material resources at the border gates were continuously transported, and the quality was greatly damaged. This is all the reason why Li Jing is working hard......

Let's say that after Xu Qing and Li Jing and Liu Zan said goodbye, they went on the road for a few days, and when it was in the middle of winter, the clouds were dense, and the wind was tight. After walking less than ten miles, I saw that the ground was like silver.

With such a beautiful scenery, Xu Qing was very happy in his heart, picked up an iron gun, got off the horse, opened the shelf and danced. The spears and the wind and snow are as if they want to fight with the heavens and the earth.

said that Jin Ren Wanyan Liang has a word, called a hundred character order, with a single title of heavy snow, and its momentum is like Xu Qing's arrogance now:

Tianding was furious, overturning the silver sea and scattering the beads. Six strange flowers are rolling, flattening the hills and ravines in the mountains. The tiger is crazy, Su Lin is rampant, and the pearl rope is broken. The jade dragon fought fiercely, and the scales and armor fell all over the sky.

Who reads Wanli Guanshan, the husband stiffens, and the flag is footed. Seying Ge spear, light shaking sword halberd, murderous curtain. Pihu is heroic, partial and heroic, and talks about military strategy.

You have to get drunk and see the blue sky.

After the dance, everyone said hello in unison, Xu Qing felt relieved, and got back on the horse and hurried.

The weather was bitterly cold, it was getting late, and the snow was blocking the road, so it was really difficult to walk.

Suddenly, I saw a hotel near the pond in the Pillow Creek from a distance, which was pressed by the snow. But see the silver grass house, the jade thatched eaves. Dozens of old tree branches, three or five small windows closed. The thorn is sparse, like greasy powder and lightly paved; The loess surrounds the wall, but it is like a lead cloth. Thousands of catkins float curtains, and 10,000 goose feathers dance wine flags.

Xu Qing was overjoyed when he saw it, and led people into the hotel. When I opened the reed curtain, swept in, and looked sideways, it was all the seathead. The men settled the wagons and livestock, sat down in one place, leaned on their knives, released the packages, carried the felt hats, and hung up their swords.

I saw a bartender bring a basin of hot water, asked everyone to wipe their faces, and asked, "How much wine does the guest officer drink?" ”

Xu Qingdao said: "Let's take two corners of wine from each seat first." ”

The bartender beat a bucket of wine and put it next to Xu Qing's seat in the future, and added a stove to each seat to eat the wine.

Xu Qing asked again, "What's the drink?" ”

The bartender said: "There are raw and cooked meat, fat goose, and tender chicken." ”

Xu Qingdao: "Let's cut a cooked chicken for each person first." "Except for Huang Shimei, they are all big men, they eat a lot, a chicken is really nothing, I am only worried about whether there are so many tender chickens in this small hotel. When the bartender is not long, he will lay out a large plate of sliced and cooked chicken, several plates of vegetables and vegetables, put a large bowl, and sift the wine on one side.

The wine here is good, sweet, and light, Xu Qingben doesn't eat wine, but he also drank three or four bowls of wine, only to see a person in the store with his hands crossed behind his back, and came out to watch the snow in front of the door.

The man asked the bartender, "Who eats wine?" ”

When Xu Qing looked at the man, he was wearing a deep-brimmed warm hat, a sheepskin jacket, and a pair of narrow boots.

The bartender didn't know Xu Qing's identity, but just shook his head and said he didn't know. Xu Qing thought that this was the owner of the shop, so he stepped forward and took a long look: "In Xia Xuqing, passing merchants." ”

"Don't be polite to your guests, I don't understand those ...... in the villager" The owner of the shop simply replied, and then looked at the heavy snow outside the door, and sighed sadly.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng year, why is the store so sad?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

"What a ruixue mega year, it's just freezing to death many people." The shopkeeper muttered: "The rich man's house is a red furnace of animal charcoal, and he wears cotton clothes. Holding plum blossoms in hand, singing about the auspiciousness of the country, not thinking about the poor and small, not enough to eat and wear, to hold warm in this cold night. ”

When the bartender heard this, he also said, "If it were me, Ba would have to snow a little...... This snow, it's all bad snow, where is there any snow! ”

"This is a mistake, I look at the land of Cangzhou in southern Hebei, and it is Ruixue ......" In the corner, a drinker said slowly.

"How?" The bartender asked.

The drinker was half drunk and half awake, and when he was talking a lot, he said: "You don't know, there is a Xu Thorn Shi there, who is very benevolent and righteous, collects displaced people, reduces grain taxes, as long as he does the land steadily, there is no food that is not full." ”

Xu Qing retreated from his seat, glanced at Huang Shimei, and listened quietly. The bartender said, "That's great......

"Let me tell you, that Xu Thorn Shi is a star who can try a hundred cases a day!" The drinker opened the conversation and retold the legendary story of Xu Qing's daily trial of 100 cases here.

The bartender muttered: "This is strange, our county master, can't break a ...... a day"

Everyone laughed, but only the drinker was saddened, sighed and said:

"Alas, it's a pity......"

The shopkeeper didn't understand and asked, "It should be a blessing to have such a good official, why is it a pity?" ”

"It's a pity that it's a pity for this good official, good people always make people jealous." The drinkers were in a gesture and had to talk about it again, and everyone poured their ears over:

"Xu Tingshi got a commercial tax department, so that Cangzhou is prosperous, everything is cheap, and there are legends such as a hundred cases in a short day, Xu Tingshi is praised like a god in the hearts of the people."

"But Liu Mo, the general manager of southern Hebei, is a villain, he can't tolerate his subordinates who are more powerful than him, so he sent a few people to Cangzhou. As soon as he arrived in Cangzhou, the Commercial Taxation Department was immediately abolished, and all the businessmen were imprisoned in Cangzhou. Moreover, many of Xu Tingshi's systems have been canceled, and the exempted taxes have to be repaid! ”

The shopkeeper clapped his palms, said pity, and then asked:

"Then Xu Tingshi is silent?"

The drinker is lonely:

"Xu Tingshi doesn't know where he went, he hasn't seen anyone for a month, and the people say that he was locked up by bad officials."

Xu Qing listened to it on the side, originally very happy, but when he heard it, his face became more and more heavy. Secretly, this Liu Mo is really a good means, even a high-ranking official like Don't drive can say that he will arrange it. Fortunately, it has only been a month now, and the damage that has been done is not enough. In addition, the county orders of the four counties are all Xu Qing's people, and I am afraid that no one will listen to this so-called order from another driver.

Full of wine and food, Xu Qing and the others galloped back to Cangzhou at the fastest speed. In the end, Xu Qing asked Huang Shimei to take these guards and livestock to walk slowly, and rode back to Cangzhou alone.

Men are possessive. Cangzhou is now, like Xu Qing's couch, how can others be allowed to point fingers and make stumbling blocks there.

first went back to the Zhuangzi of the official field in the countryside, and saved it with Xun Xue'er Xiaoyue. Then he sent a letter to summon the cow to graze and others, and asked left and right, and sure enough, it was as if he had guessed. No one listened to the words of this heavenly driver, but the Commercial Tax Department was forced to close, blocking a large number of caravans here, and there were quite many complaints. Moreover, this don't drive to re-impose the exempted tax, which makes the people of Cangzhou worried and uneasy.

"What's the point?"

"It's a relative of Liu Mo who doesn't come out of five suits, called Liu Yi......"

"Liu family, what does this Liu Mo and Liu Yi have to do with Liu Wanjin's family?"

"Does the lord know Liu Wanjin? This Liu Wanjin is his Liu family's sister-in-law! ”

"I see."

After finding the wronged head and the creditor, Xu Qing can have a target, and he doesn't have to chase Shun Teng like last time, and finally offend the people he can't afford to provoke. This little Liu family can still move.

Xu Qing returned to the Assassin's Mansion and waved his hand to annul all the decisions made by Liu Yi in the past month. The Commercial Tax Department has resumed its work, and the grain tax will no longer be collected. As soon as this order was made, Cangzhou City was full of joy, and the people took to the streets to celebrate the "appearance of Xu Thorn History".

After giving the order, Xu Qing waited for a long time, and sure enough, the main lord came.

Liu Yi came to Xu Qing's official hall angrily, pointed at Xu Qing's nose and scolded:

"Shaft, you dare to repeal my decree!?"

Xu Qing was so angry that he couldn't do it, this was the wicked person who sued first, obviously he abolished the rules set by Xu Qing first, but now he blamed Xu Qing. And as soon as he came in, he yelled, like a madman, Xu Qing laughed angrily: "Hahaha...... Come on, fork out this person who broke into the official mansion and beat him to death with a stick! ”

The guards outside the door broke in and forked Liu Yi up. Liu Yi was not wearing an official uniform at this time, and he was not wearing a talisman, if he wasn't wearing a magnificent crown, I am afraid that Xu Qing would not be able to step into the official hall. At this time, Xu Qing said that he was a rebel who broke in, and it was indeed reasonable and legal to beat him to death with a stick.

"I'm not driving, you dare to kill me?!" Liu Yi scolded and struggled, but unfortunately Xu Qing's guards didn't give him a chance to break free.

"You also know that you don't drive, just talk to Shangguan like this!?" Xu Qing is also afraid of beating this so-called don't drive to death, after all, he is also a state official, isn't it? So he stopped the guards and just scolded.

Liu Yi broke free from the guard's grip and took a sip:

"Phew! What kind of official are you little hairy boy? I don't care about it, I'm a member of the Liu family! ”

Hearing this, the guards were furious, but Xu Qing calmed down instead. This Liu Yi is so crazy, is it deliberately to provoke me, and has another purpose?
