Chapter 343: Insect Plague
"I have heard that the military regulations of the Northwest Frontier Army are very strict today, but anyone who has deducted military salaries, no matter how big his background is, no matter who he is, will be punished as soon as possible...... No matter how deep the relationship is, even if it is a royal family and nobleman, Chen Mi, who has been more than two years old, will rest and want to be drawn into the Northwest Army......"
While organizing the voice in his heart, Li Ji persuaded in a tactful tone:
"It's a good thing that the third sister-in-law wants to revive the Shen family, but if she wants to continue the old bad habit of reselling old grain in the army...... I'm afraid it's ......."
Shaking his head, Li Ji didn't continue.
Zhao Qing understood what he meant.
I couldn't help but secretly slander in my heart.
Which eye did you see that I was going to resell old grain to the army through Guò Fu Wannian?
Yes, in the past few years, under the governance of the king of the northwest, the northwest has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there has been no war.
Moreover, there are no droughts or floods this year!
However, this year's grain has suffered from insect infestation!
In the past two days, she has inquired in many ways, and there is no effective way to control this insect pest in this era, and it looks like it is not strict in front of her, but this insect reproduces too fast, beyond everyone's imagination.
In the next few months, it will be like locusts, taking all the big grain growers by surprise!
This year's grain production reduction is a foregone conclusion, and if it is not good, there will be no harvest!
It's a pity that she didn't study agriculture in her previous life, and she didn't have the power to return to heaven to stop this disaster.
For the sake of now, she can only seize the present, and when everyone does not react, she will do her best to receive the old grain that the merchants are going to take to feed the livestock, so as to ensure that no one will starve to death in the northwest this winter.
Of course, a big fortune is also to be made.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
Older than two years old grain is not allowed to enter the barracks, right?
You can rest assured, I will never embarrass Fu Wannian through this back door, and I will not sell a single grain of old grain to the Northwest Army!
I will ask the king of the northwest to come and beg me personally, and promise to buy old rice at the price of new rice, and I will sell it!"
Secretly angry in his heart, Zhao Qing also knew that this matter was very important, especially the seventh master in front of him didn't know anything about the background of the background, but he couldn't talk nonsense with him.
She thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"What the Seventh Master said is, I also heard that the king of the northwest is a martial artist who is not arrogant and domineering, and has tough means, no one can change the things he has set, and the commander of Fu, who is a member of the party, is just a little minion in front of him, obeying his words and plans, and does not dare to disobey ...... at all."
As he spoke, something flashed in Zhao Qing's mind.
When you have to look back and think about it, it has disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Qing was stunned for a few breaths before he continued:
"Seventh Master rest assured, I never thought of embarrassing Fu Commander to resell old grain to the army, I have been living in the south all these years, and I found that the old grain in the northwest is lower than other regions, so I want to take this opportunity to reverse some luck...... "He said with a smile, "Uncle Yang has promised to give me half of the country, I can't go back and grab the market with him." ”
Li Ji didn't hear Zhao Qing's words later.
He looked odd.
How can this savage woman speak?
What does it mean to be a martial artist who is arrogant and domineering and has tough means?
Is he that bad?
He tilted his head slightly, and peeked through the bright bronze mirror on the wall of the car at the handsome and heroic figure.
This is obviously a handsome and chic, gentle and beautiful young man?
How did she become a reckless and domineering man?
Sitting there sullenly, Li Ji felt a grievance in his heart.
How domineering is he?
These days, on the surface, she seems to be accommodating herself and complimenting herself in everything, but only he understands in his heart that he has no way to deal with her.
No matter what, as long as she insists, the one who compromises in the end must be himself.
The two of them, who is more domineering than whom?
There was silence in the carriage.
Zhao Qing was used to Li Ji's appearance, and she didn't go to her heart, she looked down at the design of Xitai Commercial Bank, remembered something, and suddenly raised her head again:
"Which dart bureau is entrusted with local tax collection to keep the Cao Yun, must it be ordered by the imperial court?"
The operation mode of the local tax collection of Chu State entrusted to the dart bureau is very similar to that of the previous life when the financial taxes were deposited in the bank, except that the bank in the previous life would pay interest, and the custody here is real money, which is particularly risky, and the local government has to give the dart bureau a certain amount of custody fee in turn.
If you want to escort it into Beijing, you must also pay a certain amount of dart fee according to the distance and the total amount of silver donated.
Overall, donating money for the government is a very profitable business!
She couldn't have thought about it before.
Now that he has set up a dart bureau, and with the support of Fu Wannian and Zhu Licheng, Zhao Qing wants to meddle in the transaction of this village and snatch the tax donation and custody business in Tanxi Province.
It's just that I've been busy for the past two days, and I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Fu Wannian and Zhu Licheng in detail yet.
Zhao Qing didn't know what the rules were.
Now that there is a ready-made opportunity, she just took the opportunity to inquire about Li Qiye, and she had a good preparation.
Li Ji lowered his head and thought about it, and said:
"In the early days of the Chu State, it was stipulated that the tax donations in various places were kept by the imperial court with the consent of the imperial court, and the imperial court would also select a number of large-scale dart bureaus from the major dart bureaus in the country every three years to be responsible for the tax collection and storage of the provinces...... Nowadays, it is the political envoys from all over the country who are responsible for appointing ......"
"Political envoy, ......" Zhao Qing's tone was slightly disappointed.
Who is the new political envoy of Tan Xi Province?
She thought to herself, with a look of chagrin.
Li Ji smiled dumbly, "The political envoy is responsible for local government affairs and taxation, of course, he chose it." ”
"Then, can Commander Fu influence them?"
"Commander Fu?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Oh......" Zhao Qing hurriedly explained, "I mean the custody of our Tanxi Province's tax contributions, can Commander Fu influence the political envoys of Tanxi Province?" ”
"I ......don't know much about other provinces," Li Ji said with a smile, "This Tanxi Province is really up to Fu Wannian." ”
"Really?" Zhao Qing's eyes lit up.
"Hmm......" Li Ji nodded, "Back then, Zhu Enzhang insisted on going his own way, causing an unprecedented grain hegemony between the Shen and Yang families, and almost ruined the entire Tanxi grain market...... In that year, many grain merchants committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, and bandits rose up everywhere, and even Master Qiu of the Zhongzhou Fuwei Dart Bureau gathered nearly 10,000 dart masters to lie dormant near Shen's house in Guqian Town, ready to kill people and rob the grain ......"
"Ah......h
Zhao Qing screamed.
"That old man Qiu actually gathered nearly 10,000 dart masters back then?"
Personally feeling the danger of the Shen family at the beginning, Zhao Qing's spine was in a cool breeze, "What are they going to do?" (To be continued.) )
