Chapter 70: Guo Yang Plans
"Good news? Hmph, what good news can you have?" said the viscount, in a nasal voice of disdain, expressing distrust of the staff's words.
"Eh, Lord Viscount, I can assure you that this time it is definitely good news!" the staff looked like they were swearing.
"Tell me about it. "Viscount Chang'an still decided to believe this staff member this time.
After all, that person brought him so much wealth.
The staff smiled slightly, leaned over to Viscount Chang'an, and whispered a few words.
After listening to the staff's words, the corners of the viscount's mouth also hooked up a lewd smile.
......
Chang'an County is not far away.
Su Xiu and Zhao Kang had already rushed to Chang'an County in the afternoon of the same day and met Guo Yang.
"What is the mission this time?" asked Su Xiu straight to the point.
Guo Yang is a tall and thin man, his face gives people a very capable feeling, his eyes are kind, but there is a kind of horror hidden in the abyss.
Although the three of them grew up together, Su Xiu felt that he had never looked at the terrible man in front of him, yes, no matter why, Guo Yang always gave people a terrible feeling.
"We need to intervene in Viscount Chang'an's next move. Guo Yang's eyes were calm and he said softly.
"Viscount Chang'an's next move?" Su Xiu and Zhao Kang were stunned.
"That's right. The Earl's Palace is now facing a crisis and needs manpower, so he wants to bring the Jedi God Palace under his command, but now the Jedi God Palace is about to be besieged by major forces, and other forces will definitely want to do what we can think of, and the Jedi God Palace is the one who can decide the final chess game, and the adults don't want to lose it. ”
Guo Yang said that the adult, Su Xiu and the others can think of who it is, after all, except for Wu Liang, there are few people who are worthy of this title.
It's just that it is really difficult to subdue the Absolute God Palace, which makes Su Xiu and the others a little difficult.
Can it really be done?
That Lin Xiuyuan is not a good stubble, Su Xiu and the two of them deeply felt the horror of this person after going to Fenglin Province, that Lin Sect Head is also an old man for more than ten years in the Earl's Palace, and he is actually a person from the Absolute God Palace?
Because of this, Su Xiu and the others admired Wu Liang even more.
Thousands of miles away, he was able to correctly judge the situation of the war in Fenglin Province, and with a way to break the situation, this ability can be said to be really terrifying.
"The ability of adults is not something you can guess, you just need to cooperate with me. Guo Yang said in a flat tone.
"What are you going to do?" Su Xiu's face was solemn.
"Hit the Viscount's Mansion first. Guo Yang looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom.
"How?"
"I have my own way, and when the time comes, I may need you to do me a favor. ”
"Are you going alone?" After all, they are old friends for many years, and Su Xiu is still a little worried.
"Naturally. Guo Yang smiled, "Don't forget, neither of you can beat me." ”
Su Xiu was discouraged for a while, but Guo Yang was telling the truth, and she couldn't refute it, Guo Yang was highly talented and hardworking, a few years ago, the martial arts of the two of them were not as good as Guo Yang, and I haven't seen him make a move in the past few years, who knows if this guy has reached that unfathomable state......
In the entire Earl's Palace, it is estimated that the one who can stabilize Guo Yang is the Earl and the Commander, as for the young lady, she is still younger, and it is estimated that she is comparable, and it may even be weaker, as for exceeding, it is absolutely impossible.
"Okay, let's do this then......" Guo Yang began to set up the task.
......
Although Chang'an County is barren, there is still a lot of traffic in the county, because the geographical location here is very important, and it is the only way to go to Bianjing, not only because the roads here are easy to walk, but also because there are more mountains and forests in other places, and the caravans are also worried about encountering green forest robbers.
Therefore, although the toll is very high, it is necessary to collect the toll, by the way, this toll also has a name, called "Xingjin", which charges one-tenth of the value of all the goods in the caravan, although the asking price is very ruthless, but the caravan is also happy to buy a peace of mind, after all, if you meet a robber, it is not a matter of this money.
Anyone will settle this account.
Of course, there will always be a group of people in this world who don't want their lives for money, after all, capital is that kind of thing.
There are many life lawsuits that occur in this way every year, but they generally end up being headless public cases.
After all, those robbers who gathered in the mountains and forests, among them, there were also many people with strong martial arts, who forcibly encircled and suppressed, and the court was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses.
After all, the army is just that, but robbers and bandits can't be killed and suppressed.
So those people are dead, and the court will not take them seriously.
Besides, the death of those people will still increase the amount of money collected in disguise, and it is too late for the court to be happy!
Besides, who knows if those bandits have anything to do with the imperial court?
Of course, since the money is collected, the court will also handle things well, and on the way through which all caravans must pass, there will be troops stationed in those places to ensure the safety of the caravan, and if the bandits rob the caravan's goods, the court will also be responsible for compensation.
In a society ruled by man, this is already good, and those merchants are very satisfied.
The income from the major trade routes accounted for one-tenth of the income of the entire Great Yuan Celestial Empire!
That's a terrible number.
Some people may ask, since there is so much income from the bank, why does Viscount Chang'an take risks and do those illegal salt transactions?
Here we must talk about the title system of the Great Yuan Heavenly Dynasty.
The titles of the Great Yuan Celestial Dynasty are divided into five levels: duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, and the fiefs obtained by each title are different, and the output of the fiefs they can obtain will not interfere with this aspect of the court.
Of course, there is also a prince above, which is a title that only the royal family can obtain, and there is only one king with a different surname, King Pingxi
However, the fief is still nominally Dayuan, so the political problems in the fief are still under the management of the Dayuan Celestial Dynasty, and those lords cannot interfere in this regard.
Issues such as taxation and money collection are political issues.
Therefore, this Qian Chang'an Viscount can only look at the greed, and he can't get a penny.
And Chang'an County is very barren, and it is precisely because of this that the huge gap between the two aspects is not one of the reasons why Viscount Chang'an took risks.
From this, we can actually see that it seems that the lords of Dayuan are not doing very well.
After all, you have to raise private soldiers, support your own family, and have to pay some emotional expenses, which are not small.
So some lords with relatively small fiefs can't afford to raise private soldiers at all.
This includes our Viscount Chang'an.
It has to be said that the charm of the intrinsic connection of things is like this, and everything that happens must have a reason.
