Chapter Eighty-Four: Taxation
Du Chen could only smile at this, and after seeing Cao Cao leave, Du Chen sat for a while and then returned to his mansion.
Cao Zhi, Ke Ri Xing Division.
However, he said that the emperor was in Luoyang, everything was not prepared, the city collapsed, and he failed to repair.
It was reported that Li Dao and Guo Yan were about to lead the troops.
The emperor was shocked and asked Yang Feng: "The envoy of Shandong has not returned, and the soldiers of Li and Guo have arrived, what can I do about it?" ”
Yang Feng and Han Xian said: "The minister is willing to fight to the death with the thief to protect His Majesty!" ”
Dong Cheng said: "The city is not strong, there are not many soldiers, if the battle is not won, what should be done?" If not, he will go to Shandong to avoid it. ”
From his words, the emperor will drive to Shandong from now on.
There are no officials, and they all walk with the car.
Out of Luoyang, there is no place to go, but when I see the dust covering the sun, the golden drum is noisy, and infinite people and horses are coming.
The emperor and the post-war are unspeakable.
Suddenly, I saw a horse flying over, which was the mission of going to Shandong, and he went to the front of the car to worship Qi and said: "General Cao has done his best to meet the army of Shandong, and he should come to the edict." Hearing that Li Dao and Guo Yan had committed Luoyang, they first sent Xiahoudun as the vanguard, and brought in ten generals and 50,000 elite soldiers to protect them. ”
Emperor Fang'an.
Shaoqing, Xiahou led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, etc., to the front of the king, all with military salutes.
The emperor sent a message to Fang Bi, and suddenly reported that there was another army arriving in the east.
The emperor immediately ordered Xiahou to visit him, and returned to his wife and said: "It is Cao Cao's infantry army." ”
After a while, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le came in to see the driver.
After the name was completed, Hong Zuo said: "The minister brother knows that the thieves and soldiers are near, and I am afraid that Xiahou will be unable to do it alone, so he sent the ministers and others to help." ”
The emperor said: "General Cao is also a minister of the real society!" ”
Then he was ordered to escort forward.
Tan Malay reported: "Li Dao and Guo Yan led the troops to drive here. ”
The emperor ordered Xiahoudun to welcome him in two ways.
Dan Nai and Cao Hong were divided into two wings, and the Ma army went out first, followed by the infantry army, and attacked as best they could.
The thieves were defeated and beheaded more than 10,000.
So he asked the emperor to return the Luoyang Forbidden City.
Xiahou tun troops outside the city.
The next day, Cao Cao led a large group of men and horses to arrive.
After camping, enter the city to see the emperor and worship under the palace steps.
The emperor gave a flat body and proclaimed condolences.
Cao said: "The minister is grateful to the country, and he thinks about it." The two thieves are full of sins; There are more than 200,000 elite soldiers, and they are all defeated. His Majesty is good at protecting the dragon body, focusing on the community. ”
Emperor Naifeng is the commander of the department, the lieutenant of the school, the fake festival, the Yue Lu Shangshu.
However, it was said that Li Dao and Guo Yan knew that Cao was far away and wanted to fight quickly.
Jia Xu admonished: "No. It is better to surrender to the elite and brave soldiers, and seek to forgive their own sins. ”
He said angrily: "You dare to destroy my sharp spirit!" ”
Draw your sword and want to slash.
The congregation will be forgiven.
That night, Jia Xu walked back to the township on a single horse.
The next day, Li Daojun's army came to meet the troops.
Cao Xian ordered Xu Chu, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei to lead three hundred iron horsemen, and clashed three times in the formation before arranging the formation.
At the circle of the formation, before Li Dao's nephew Li Xian and Li Bei came out of the formation, before they could speak, Xu Chu flew over and cut Li Xian first with a knife; Li Bei was taken aback, knocked off the horse, Chu Yi beheaded him, and returned to the battle with his head in both hands.
Cao Cao stroked Xu Chuzhi's back and said: "Zi Zhenwu's Fan Xuye!" ”
With the order, Xiahoudun led the troops to the left, Cao Ren led the troops to the right, and led the Chinese army to charge into battle.
The drum sounded, and the three armies marched together.
The thieves could not resist the enemy and fled in defeat.
Manipulate the sword and charge the battle, and lead the crowd to chase and kill overnight, killing a lot, and there are countless descendants.
Dang and Wangxi fled for their lives, busy like a lost dog; Knowing that he had nowhere to stay, he had to go to the mountains and fall into the grass.
Cao Cao returned to the army and was still stationed outside Luoyang City.
Yang Feng and Han Xian discussed: "Now that Cao Cao has made a great achievement, he will be in power, how can I be accommodated?" ”
It was the Son of Heaven, only in the name of chasing and killing Dai and Yan, and led the headquarters army to Daliang.
The emperor ordered people to go to the camp on the first day to announce the entrance to the palace.
Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is turbulent, and I hope that Your Majesty can return to Luoyang with me, so that Your Majesty's safety needs to be guaranteed." ”
Regarding Cao Cao's construction, Emperor Xian only thought for a moment and agreed.
After being displaced for a long time, he really should find a place to settle down, and Cao Cao looks much more pleasing to the eye than the other princes.
"Just according to what Cao Aiqing said."
Emperor Xian nodded and said to Cao Cao.
Seeing that Emperor Xian agreed, Cao Cao himself was overjoyed.
Subsequently, Cao Cao led the White Tiger Battalion and the Xuanwu Battalion of the Golden Viper Army to escort the emperor back to Xuchang, no, it should be called Xudu.
So what is Du Chen doing now?
The camera shifted to Xudu, and Cao Cao led troops to rescue Emperor Xian, so Yanzhou was handed over to Du Chen for governance.
For the livelihood of the people, Du Chen thought of Roosevelt's New Deal, which he learned in his first year of high school, so he ordered that for those people who had no long things, the government would pay for farm tools and rent them to the people to farm, and pay a certain amount of tax in the coming year, which was not in the ordinary tax.
It seems that this decree seems to increase the burden, but in fact, Du Chen, who was born in a poor family, understands that for those people who do not have any tools, this decree is of no value, and there are many people who come to the Yanzhou government to draw and rent farm tools, so Du Chen does not order to step up the manufacture of farm tools.
But just that, it's not enough, this tax alone can't feed the Golden Viper Army, in this regard, Du Chen recalled several political textbooks in the high school in his previous life, and changed the tax, the first one to change is the commercial tax, Du Chen threw away the previous decree taken according to the capitation tax, changed to the transaction tax, and took an unmanned mansion in Xudu City and rebuilt it into a chamber of commerce, so that a large number of buying and selling transactions in Xudu were traded here, and a certain amount of tax was taken if the transaction was successful.
In addition, if the businessmen who are not trading here, they will be on Du Chen's blacklist, hum!
Then you're in for a big deal!
However, in any case, in addition to all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the past, as well as a series of taxes, the current transaction tax is really small, and it can't be less.
Du Chen also remembered the "Dragon Gate Dart Game" in his previous life, so he ordered, in view of the fact that the territory of Yanzhou is not so calm, there are still a few small horse thieves and robbers who live in the mountains and rob passing merchants, and the border guards are authorized to send some soldiers to escort the passing people as appropriate, of course, this will be charged!
This is equivalent to the later dart master, but this money border guard will not need to be handed over.
It was used to improve the living conditions of the border soldiers, and as soon as this order came out, many border soldiers were suddenly full of good feelings towards Du Chen in Yanzhou.
Those businessmen who were originally in Xudu were apprehensive when they saw that Xu Du had changed their taxes at first, but when they thought about it, they suddenly smiled again.
The original tax, whether you trade in Xudu or not, as long as you bring goods into Xuchang, you have to pay money, and the tax is collected according to the price of your goods, which is a common way to collect taxes in the city today.
But now, if the goods enter Xu Rudu, there is no need to pay taxes, and only when the transaction is successful, a certain tax will be charged.
This is simply the gospel of merchants, in just half a month, those merchants told their relatives through their own channels, and then more and more people knew about it.
Merchants from the Kanto region rushed to Xudu, and for a time Xuchang almost became the commercial center of the Kanto region.
No matter what goods can be bought in it, Du Chen thought about it and drew a place in the west.
According to the vision of the previous life, the land was sold to those merchants one by one, and the land was set for a period of five years.
However, for that price, the attitude of the merchants is to pay a two-year deposit in advance, how can Du Chen agree?
Five years in one bite.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and as more and more people were competing to feel it, the merchants who were already in Xudu suddenly came under pressure, and proposed to pay three years in advance, and sell a certain amount of Xudu rice grain at a price lower than half of the market price every year.
Du Chen knew that grain would always be the main source of the Three Kingdoms, so he pretended to be very helpless and agreed to the request of those merchants and added two sentences: First: In the case of the same price, the merchants gave priority to selling grain to Xudu!
Second: Xu Du has the final right to interpret this!
The businessmen can still understand the first sentence, but they will never understand the second sentence?
What is the right of final interpretation?
But if you don't understand, no one asks!
As a result, a large piece of vacant land that Du Chen originally planned to give the people to live in suddenly became a commercial street similar to that of later generations.
In those shops that were filled with all kinds of goods, the shops that Xu Du originally had were disgraced.
The arrival of a large number of merchants greatly stimulated the commerce and consumption of Xudu.
Xun Yu, who knew about this, found Du Chen, "Silang, you are violating the interests of the family by doing this. ”
"Hehehe, Wen Ruo's words are not bad at all, I did it on purpose, to provide status and market for merchants, then it will break the monopoly of the scholars. When the time comes, it will definitely endanger the vital interests of the scholars. For the sake of interests, there will definitely be people who will take risks, and when the time comes, they will be forced to make an example of chickens and monkeys. You must know that Yanzhou has been quiet for a long time, but there are many unknown secrets in secret. ”
Du Chen squinted his eyes and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Yu stared at Du Chen.
It was hard for him to imagine that Du Chen's mouth would say such a thing.
At the same time, Xun Yu secretly speculated in his heart about what the real purpose of Du Chen's pro-business policy was.
The pro-business policy can not only activate the Yanzhou market, make Xudu prosperous, but also increase taxes, and let others know who is in charge of Xuchang.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu's face couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
And at this time, Du Chen suddenly said: "Brother Wenruo, don't forget, who is the elder brother and your lord, and you must definitely do your best to do your best." ”
After Du Chen finished speaking, Xun Yu's expression was stunned again.
But this time he quickly came back to his senses, and Du Chen's call just now made Xun Yu very touched.
Then Xun Yu nodded and said: "Thank you Silang for mentioning it, Yu Ding will not forget Jì, Meng De is my master." ”
