Standing in front of Cheng Jinzhou, who is troubled, Liu Bin is already a bad old man, standing next to Liu Qingshuang, who is bright-eyed and kind, his competitiveness can be said to be infinitely close to zero.

So Xiao Cheng took Liu Qingshuang's hand without hesitation and invited her to take a carriage, instead of talking to his father-in-law about the future of mankind and reform.

Liu Bin looked with a blue face, most of the nobles are happy fathers-in-law, they can casually support the half of their sons to do two, the son's work, and they can see their daughters at any time, and enjoy the joy of being alone, "But marry your daughter to a star warlock." The troubles of the aristocratic fathers-in-law suddenly increased. Because the time period of the Astral Warlock is too long, and the wandering range is too far away, so that it takes a long time to appear.

On the other hand, they are well paid and busy at work, and rarely give their father-in-law free work. The marriage of a noble daughter to the son-in-law of an astral sorcerer is like a timberwolf marrying an eagle, and from the north to the east, the power of control is greatly weakened.

If he was replaced by other young nobles, Liu Bin would definitely pull him off the horse, and then after saying what he wanted to say, he would turn over and get on the horse.

But now, he had to climb into the carriage first.

It's not that he is really timid, but when the agreement in hand needs to be signed by Cheng Jinzhou, it is also necessary for his attitude to soften accordingly.

The airship was flying over the clouds, the oxygen was thin, and Cheng Mu was already sleepy, so she fell asleep in another car.

After getting into the car, Liu Qingshuang smiled brightly, left enough space in the carriage, and gently pushed Cheng Jinzhou with his bare hands: "You speak first, I don't have anything to do." ”

"How are you doing in Hexi?" Cheng Jinzhou still asked.

"Everyone is very friendly, and the prostitute Ningyun even made dumplings for me." Liu Qingshuang covered her mouth and smiled: "As long as she has the help of a little girl, she can make dumplings divided by several people." ”

Cheng Jinzhou has never been to Hexi himself, so how do he know who Liu Qingshuang is talking about, but he still smiled in agreement.

After saying this for two minutes, after asking all the things that should be asked after parting, Cheng Jinzhou turned his head to Liu Bin and smiled: "Father-in-law, what do you want me to see?" ”

"Final Agreement." Liu Bin's black-faced Cheng dù is limited. Deliberately huffed and threw the copy in his hand in the carriage.

Everyone was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, and Cheng Jinzhou picked it up and read it casually. Such an agreement is a true gentleman's agreement, and to say that it is binding is nothing more than a solution to the matter at hand.

From a modern point of view, the agreement is not very standardized, it can only be said that the content is clear, and it basically meets the requirements of Cheng Jinzhou, especially the proportion of commercial tax in the four provinces is handled by the De'an County Government, which is very implicit.

In this way, in two or three years, the imperial court has not received any benefits, only some superficial glamour.

Considering his exhibition in two or three years, Cheng Jinzhou smiled slightly, closed the above jiàn and said: "Lord Liu, the future things are clear, but in the past three months, the gold collected by the four provinces, how to calculate it in the end, it is not written." ”

"According to your six and my four, it will be shipped to you the next day."

"That's not good, the four provinces didn't have my consent before, and they collected centigold, not commercial taxes, so they had to be refunded to the merchants." Cheng Jinzhou said it with certainty, and said: "This, I won't tell you, if any province doesn't return the centigold to me the next day, I will personally go to the local governor for trouble." ”

Liu Bin smiled bitterly: "Jinzhou, that is, a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver"

He is really qualified to despise tens of thousands of taels of silver, as a great nobleman, the Liu family, any province has more than tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the Xiding Villa given to Cheng Jinzhou that day is proof of this.

However, Cheng Jinzhou also has his own position, he can't let the four provincial governments take the money, and then return it to the merchants out of his own pocket, let alone go back on his word. Therefore, he shook his head firmly and said: "If the four provinces don't pay back the money, this is a personal grudge, I don't look for trouble with the court, I will find trouble with the governor."

"If you say that, who would dare not pay it back." Liu Bin sighed, put Wen Jiàn on the small table in front of him, and said: "The affairs of the official family will end here, let's talk about private matters, starting next month, there will be tariffs, my idea is to start collecting grain, although cloth and silk are rising, we must also consider it." ”

"You call tariffs a private matter?" Cheng Jinzhou has never experienced the real Daxia officialdom. The affairs of the nobles were discussed and discussed in the territory of the nobles, and many things did change from official affairs to private affairs. The disadvantage of the civilian officials is also this, you squeeze desperately, squeeze desperately, and in the end, where the nobles can go, you can't go after all.

Liu Bin wrinkled his nose and said: "I want to collect 30% of the tax on grain, and see who dares to bring grain in, if this continues, farmers will not grow grain next year." ”

"I think it's because the nobles don't make money anymore, right?" Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and smiled. The aristocratic estates of each county occupy the best land and produce the most grain, which is used for commodity trading, while the grain produced by ordinary farmers every year is actually mainly used for their own consumption. If it is a good year, except for some problems in repaying debts, the impact is much less than that of the nobles.

Liu Bin smiled and said nothing, it is true that his reform was aimed at the aristocracy, but to say that the whole person is against the aristocracy, it may not be. Like the reformers throughout history, the reasons for their demands for reform are ever-changing, and so are the camps in which they live.

"I have no objection to taxes on grain, but not on linen." Cheng Jinzhou said to the latter without concealment: "I want to use linen." ”

Liu Bin, who was expected, nodded, and said: "Then there is copper and silver, these two, my opinion is also that there is no tax." ”

"No tax is collected unless it is determined." Cheng Jinzhou determined the basic principles in one sentence, and said: "You may be able to study the content of export tax rebates and the like to encourage exports." ”

"Export? What good is it to send the people's wealth out of the territory? ”

"I'll come back with what we need." Cheng Jinzhou also really convinced his father-in-law, he and Cheng Yunan are actually the same kind of people, they always care about their own class, and they care about other people. Lord Yun'an is concerned about the common people and literati, and Liu Bin may be broad to the entire Great Xia people, but the meaning is the same.

The two got out of the car talking slowly, and Cheng Zhai naturally had corresponding etiquette. After all, Liu Youshuang is a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and there can be no excessive ceremony, and everyone quickly passed through the gate smoothly.

"Let's get some food first, and when my mother wakes up, we will have dinner together." Cheng Jinzhou explained, and invited: "Father-in-law, let's come along." ”

As he spoke, there was a sound of astral warlocks breaking through the air.

I saw Duan Rui fly down straight, and without waiting for him to fall, he said, "That star warlock is back again." ”

"Who?"

"Take away the Zhao family's boy." Duan Rui gasped, his expression slightly nervous.
