Almighty Cultivation Supreme

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!" Zheng Tingshi looked at Li Hao who was reciting poetry in amazement, and didn't understand what this young man was thinking in his heart, how could he suddenly remember such a sentence, this forced seemed to come too suddenly.

"Don't understand?" Li Hao looked at Zheng Tingshi, who looked puzzled, and asked a little funny. This person will be his right-hand man in the future, and Li Hao doesn't mind talking to him more, after all, he will need to help him with everything in the future.

"I don't understand." Zheng Tingshi now knows a lot of things about Li Hao, and he admires his young boss in addition to admiration, which is admiration from the bottom of his heart. Maybe if you follow this kind of person, you will be in a better position.

But what Li Hao is thinking now, he really doesn't understand. It seems that the poem is just a poem by Dr. Sanlu, but Zheng Tingshi feels that Li Hao said this, it must not be the literal meaning, but the same artistic conception.

"Lingnan Road is like this sand table now, I can bulldoze it and then rebuild a new place according to my own ideas. It's just that what I want to build, how to build, and what I want to do is actually no way to refer to, so I can only explore this progress by myself. ”

Li Hao sighed after taking a sip of wine: "When I came here, I promised the emperor that in ten years, Lingnan Dao would become a prosperous place like the Guanzhong region, with prosperous people, full of grain, abundant food and clothing, and stable people's lives. It's still a mess here, so I still have a long way to go, would you like to help me share some of it? ”

"The people who govern the land are prosperous, the grain is full, and the people have enough food and clothing is the basic for the officials, and they are willing to share the worries of the governor. It's just stupid, and some things still need a lot of advice from the manager. Zheng Tingshi's answer made Li Hao a little surprised, he was just trying to do it, but he didn't expect this guy to agree so simply.

"It's just right, Zheng Tingshi's willingness to help me is really a beautiful thing, and it can save me a lot of heart. Now let's put all the places in Quanzhou Mansion that are not in rebellion straight, and let some people know that I, the governor, are actually not so good-tempered! ”

Li Hao's reaction was not slow, and he said to Zheng Tingshi with a smile after being surprised. However, his words also revealed the meaning of those who follow me and perish, and those who go against me will die.

The day after the dinner in Deyuefang, a government notice spread through all the jurisdictions of Quanzhou Prefecture. From now on, all goods in Quanzhou Prefecture must have the seal of Quanzhou Prefecture to pass through the seal, and those who do not have it will be seized and the merchant will be held responsible.

This notice was only valid for those who sold food, weapons, or medical supplies to Sangoe, as well as for merchants who traveled by land, so there was not much resistance. Only some people saw that the limelight was wrong, and immediately turned around and wanted to stab Shi Fu Toucheng, but unfortunately it was too late, and the permission period had already passed.

In addition to this notice, some of the things that Zheng Tingshi originally mastered, and some of the things that Li Hao found out during this period of time, all entered the actual inspection process. Many people were arrested in those peaceful places in Quanzhou Prefecture, and in addition to their family property being confiscated, all their family members were sent to Ryukyu Island, which is across the sea from Quanzhou.

Although there are always people moving on there, most of them are temporary, and no one will stay there forever. Although it is good over there, for Datang at this time, there is not only miasma, but also raw aborigines, which are not suitable for living.

This is not the afterlife, so that place is not called Treasure Island, but Ryukyu. The prisoners who were assigned to the past were to mine those places, and to keep them in Quanzhou Mansion or release them to other places, and these people could be called hidden dangers.

There is no need to worry about this problem when they are sent to Ryukyu Island, and without ships, these people can only stay in Ryukyu. Except for some necessary daily necessities and materials, as well as tools for farming, they had nothing else, and they had to survive on this island on their own.

Li Hao can't spare his hands now, and he doesn't have the energy to develop Ryukyu, so he can only let these people go first. The sins they have created in Quanzhou Mansion will go to Ryukyu Island to pay them off. When Li Hao has the energy and time in the future, Li Hao will use that island for his own use.

"The new manager is ruthless enough, I can't see that he is so young and so decisive." For some people in Quanzhou Prefecture, these things have nothing to do with them, and they are still living their comfortable lives peacefully.

Some of the visionaries may feel a little bit about it, but that's it. If they really had the foresight, they would have helped them as early as when the Assassin Mansion borrowed money, but these people still only focused on their own interests after all. They thought that Li Hao only had such a small means, so it was none of their business to take a few of them out of these group of businessmen.

"Those guys also deserve it, this world is still the world of Datang after all. He even sold weapons and food to those rebellious Shanyue people, which was his own death. ”

"However, before the Lord Thorn Shi used the name of the chief manager to guarantee and borrow money from me, we didn't pay much attention to it. Do you think Lord Assassin Shi will settle accounts because of this autumn queen, and then use his official position to suppress us and others? Those who were sent to Ryukyu Island did not seem to have borrowed money. ”

As soon as this man's words came out, the entire hall went cold. It's not that they haven't thought about this possibility, although they each have their own people and officials to rely on, but at the moment it is the head of Lingnan Province. Before, they always thought that the strong dragon could not overpower the ground snake, and they still hugged together.

"He dares! I and other people in the family have official positions, and he Li Hao can't cover the sky with one hand in Lingnan Road, our money is hard-earned, and he can easily take it with a word of borrowing? Who knows if he borrowed money and put it in his own pocket. ”

Although this was said loudly, there was not much response. In fact, when they refused to hold together before, some people regretted it, since ancient times, the people are not as good as the officials, but it is a pity that they were moved by those Hu businessmen.

Those Hu businessmen said that they had traveled a lot of places, and it would be better to say that they were just bribing and spending some money to get through the relationship. But borrowing money, and it's a huge amount of money, is going to be wasted seven or eight times out of ten, and you will never be able to feed a hungry wolf.

Although Zheng Tingshi and the official have repeatedly said that this is just borrowing money, or it is used to repair cement roads and tulou, these wealthy businessmen still don't respond much, and they just give some meaning, just like sending a flower child.

And this time, after the assassination of the Shifu took action, they once again chose to watch as some of the people who were originally with them had their property confiscated and then sent to the Ryukyus.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that things have come to this point, it is useless for everyone to regret it, we can only grit our teeth and persevere." This is an elderly Hu Shang jumped out, he is the most qualified of all Hu Shang, as soon as his words come out, everyone else has to listen.

"I believe that as long as we are united, even the current emperor will have to think about it. After all, the current emperor is the emperor of Shengming, and he cherishes his good reputation very much. ”

"Oh no! Oh no! "At this moment, someone from outside ran in with a panicked look on his face." The government issued a new notice, all merchants in Quanzhou must register, and then how much money each government earns from selling goods must pay taxes on time! In addition, the tax rate of goods sold varies according to different purposes. ”

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right? Isn't this a riot for the merchants? There are too many businessmen here in Quanzhou, and they also like to hold together, so they have moved their roots. After Li Hao issued a new announcement, Zheng Tingshi was also a little uneasy.

"Hehe, Master Zheng, have you counted? This commercial levy did not actually increase it, but rather reduced it. In fact, only those luxury ornaments and some spices are aggravated, which is not used by the people of the Tang Dynasty at all, and only food and some daily necessities are really used, and these tax rates are lighter. ”

Li Hao's appearance is still light, and after staying here in Quanzhou Port for a while, he doesn't really want to go to the front line. All kinds of seafood here are eaten every day, and the days are not too comfortable, but who wants to think that he is harmless is a big mistake.

Li Hao had planned the tax reform a long time ago, and it was not aimed at this side. It's just that Li Hao didn't have the right to do these things before, but now he has, so he did it, and at the same time, the entire Lingnan Road did this. In fact, this system is more conducive to the circulation of goods, and it is also much more convenient.

However, this order was carried out at this time, and no matter how you look at it, it was aimed at those Hu merchants, and it did not have much impact on other merchants. After the things that Hu merchants brought from other places arrived, they had to levy a heavy tax, and at the same time, the things they brought back still had to be taxed a heavy tax when they left the customs, which would undoubtedly increase their costs a lot.

The silk and porcelain of the Tang Dynasty were the best things in the world at this time, and the demand for various spices was particularly strong here. Most of these merchants are dealing in these things, but these things are all subject to heavy taxation. As soon as Li Hao's announcement came out, all those Hu businessmen panicked.

But after this announcement is issued, it must be carried out here, and there is no right to resist. After the troops in his hands were rectified, coupled with the small victories during this time, Li Hao and Quanzhou Thorn Shi had a lot of confidence, who dared to resist and directly raided the house, and he would not be polite at all.

And for these Hu people, he has more confidence. Whether it is a merchant from Hu or a merchant from Goryeo and Fusang, when you come to Datang, you have to abide by the rules here. If they dare not abide by the official system of the Tang Dynasty and destroy them directly, the Tang Dynasty will not blame it.
