"I want to ask you what you think of Westerners." Yuan Da's question also made Fang Tang lower his head and remain silent.

Westerners are also foreigners in the future, although this dynasty has not appeared in history, but when the words and grammar that used to be memorized every day in school appeared in this dynasty, Fang Tang also linked the two together.

Nowadays, Westerners are still happy to exchange rare treasures and high-priced silver for silk and tea in the Tang Dynasty, but they will not have other ideas one day, such as invasion!

This matter has not appeared in real history, but in this dynasty that has not appeared in history, Westerners actually appeared at this time

And the strange thing is that the intention and motive of Westerners are unexpectedly the same as recorded in history, they all value the richness of this dynasty, is this an accidental coincidence or reincarnation in the dark?

"Fang Tang, since you know Western, then you must also know a lot about Westerners, this official wants to ask, will these Westerners do things harmful to our Tang Dynasty and the people in the future." There was a hint of anger in Yuan Da's words at this time.

In Yuanda's eyes, the intention of these Westerners to come across the sea is definitely not as simple as doing business on the surface, they also have other unknown purposes, but because of the language barrier, Yuanda has never dug out the true meaning of Westerners.

However, at this time, because of Fang Tang's appearance, Yuan Da's heart lit up a spark.

"Tell my lord, Xia Guan is the first time to come to Chang'an City, so he hasn't had much contact with Westerners, but Xia Guan's inner thoughts are actually the same as Lord Shangshu, these Westerners must have an unknown purpose in secret!"

The determination that suddenly appeared on Fang Tang's face also made Yuan Da inexplicably excited.

It's not that Yuanda's idea has not been told to others, but no one has ever chosen to believe Yuanda!

In the eyes of Yuanda's comrades, these Westerners with endless treasures are all silly and sweet living gods of wealth!

Moreover, the exchange of silk and tea for the wealth of Westerners has been acquiesced in by His Majesty, and since His Majesty has acquiesced in this matter today, what do you have to worry about as a soldier in the army.

Questioning, not understanding and other unfavorable factors also made Yuan Da sad, but now it is different, a Fang Tang who can speak Western has the same thoughts as himself, so no matter how difficult this matter is, Yuan Da has to dig out the purpose behind the Westerners!

"Westerners have ill intentions, if you let it go and wait until the Westerners suddenly attack in the future, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty will definitely be passive, Fang Tang, you don't need to keep it if you have any thoughts."

Yuan Da now had a bit of the idea of developing Fang Tang into a confidant, and Fang Tang also lowered his head and thought hard after hearing it.

After a moment, Fang Tang looked up and asked Yuan Da, who had been waiting patiently

"Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, how did my Tang Dynasty tax work." Although Fang Tang knew that this dynasty had to pay all kinds of taxes, Fang Tang still didn't know anything about the specific mode of operation.

Fang Tang's question made Yuan Da, who had already memorized the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Households, also opened his mouth and said

"There are many kinds of taxes in my Tang Dynasty, and every time a tax is levied, the local government helps to collect it, and every time the local government collects a tax, it will keep the tax account book for our household department to inquire."

"What about Chang'an City?" Fang Tang was more concerned about this at this time.

"Chang'an City is the capital of our dynasty, and the taxes of Chang'an City are of course collected by the officials of our household department, but because of His Majesty's holy decree that Chang'an City was exempt for three years three years ago, our household department has not collected taxes from Chang'an City for three years." Yuanda said

"Chang'an City tax exemption for three years? Why did His Majesty make such a decree back then? Fang Tang asked

"Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't!" The displeasure on Yuan Da's face also made Fang Tang not dwell on this issue more.

"It is precisely because of His Majesty's will back then that there are a lot of hawkers on every street in Chang'an City

The appearance of many hawkers also makes the streets of Chang'an City crowded, and people's daily travel is a problem. Yuan Da's words made Fang Tang's eyes light up.

I saw that Fang Tang stood up at this time and said to Yuan Da with his hand.

"Xia Guan has an idea, that is, he can monitor the every move of Westerners at any time, and at the same time, it can also solve the problem of congested streets in Chang'an City." Fang Tang's words made Yuan Da a little interested.

"What thoughts?"

"The crowding in Chang'an City has something to do with my household department, and your majesty must not have thought that such a situation would happen today.

If there is a problem, it must be solved, Lord Shangshu, you can give me a team of manpower for me to manage the streets in Chang'an City, and the shops of Westerners are in Chang'an City, after they see that there are so many officials in Chang'an City, they must think twice about whatever they do

And the lower officials can understand what the Westerners say, as long as the lower officials go to the Westerners' shops every once in a while to take a few looks, no matter how careful the Westerners are, the lower officials will definitely be able to see one or two! Fang Tang's suggestion also made Yuan Da bow his head and remain silent, considering what Fang Tang had just said.

Yuan Da didn't let Fang Tang wait long, and after a while, after Yuan Da repeatedly confirmed that this suggestion was feasible, Yuan Da also nodded at Fang Tang.

"I will present your suggestion to Your Majesty, and everything will be subject to Your Majesty's will."

Although Yuan Da did not promise Fang Tang on the surface, his attitude had already shown everything.

"Fang Tang, since you are in a team with me, do you have a name for this group of people?" Yuan Da's words were also Fang Tang smiled slightly.

"Tell Lord Shangshu, I am going to call this group of people chengguan."

"Chengguan? The word chengguan also has some meaning. Although Yuan Da didn't quite understand the meaning of these two words, when he saw Fang Tang showing a sly smile, he also glanced at Fang Tang meaningfully and didn't ask more.

At this time, the fierce man came to the room with an unnatural face.

"Lord Shangshu, your housekeeper wants to see you"

"The steward of my house, why did he come? Tell him to let him wait outside the household department, and wait for me to finish the business in hand. ”

Yuan Da's clear personality of public and private also made Fang Tang praise in his heart, but at this time, the man said to Yuan Da with a constipated expression

"Lord Shangshu, you better meet him." Yuan Da also showed a trace of suspicion on his face after seeing the man insist so much.

"You wait again, and the official will be back in a moment." After Yuan Da said this to Fang Tang, he walked out of the household department quickly.

Outside the door, there was a black-faced man who had been pacing in place, and the black-faced man didn't know what he was muttering.

"Steward Zhang......" Yuan Da also said when he walked out of the door and saw his housekeeper waiting in front of the door.

After Steward Zhang saw his master appear, he immediately came to Yuanda's side and said in an eager tone

"Master, something is wrong! Miss...... Miss, she ran away from home! ”
