Entering Weinan, Li Dan suddenly stopped leaving, and stayed in the pavilion of the post house on the pretext that the journey was too tired, and only let Wen Zhou and others lead the team of merchants and scholars to settle in Xi'an Mansion first.

This disrupted everyone's arrangement. The political envoy Jiang Cunli, the procurator Wei Huang (chuang, the same classmate), the commander Shen Yu, the left political counselor Wu Xianzhe, as well as the Xi'an prefect Meng Jiping, and the garrison general Lu Chengyuan, several members sat together inexplicably, and they couldn't guess what the upstart had in mind.

"Could it be that he is expressing some kind of dissatisfaction?" Wei Lu guessed.

"Probably not." Jiang Cunli shook his head: "The situation is urgent, Luochuan is in a hurry, the market is expensive, and the people are ....... He's here on an errand, so how can he sit idly by?"

"Yes, he's not in a hurry, the emperor is in a hurry!" Wu Xianzhe nodded in agreement: "This mess, don't figure it out, how can this year's summer tax be collected?" Taxation is his responsibility, so this brother is most anxious about this matter.

Shen Yu didn't speak, he was one of the more people in his heart. Yesterday, there was a quick horse to send Qincha's instructions: the whole territory of Shaanxi is closed and the ferry is closed! The so-called closure of customs and ferries means that all gates and ferries are locked, and they only enter and do not leave!

Shaanxi is a high north, middle and low, and southern mountainous area, and the so-called Guanzhong refers to this "middle and low" area, which was called "Jingzhao" in ancient times.

Hanzhong is also a bit flat, but it is surrounded by mountains, and the flat area is much smaller than that of Guanzhong, so Liu Bang is not happy to be the king of Hanzhong, and he wants to go out of Chencang to seize Guanzhong.

There are Sanguan (Dasanguan) in the west, Hangu Pass and Tongguan in the east, Wuguan and Languan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north. There are also passes on the road, such as the broken gong village (Sanguan Road) that Guanzhong must pass through to Hanzhong, Tongchuan Jinsuo Pass and Shimen, Shizui Station in Yanbei and so on.

All the passes are locked, and this place in Shaanxi has become a rat cage that cannot enter or exit, and there are several compartments in between. Whichever compartment you run to, you're going to get caught.

As soon as he saw this posture, Shen Yu knew that this Qin messenger was going to be ruthless, even so, he was not in a hurry, and he hurriedly recruited and trained the soldiers to make up for the lessons with the 200,000 taels of silver tickets sent by the Qin mission in his hand.

Although he is a little greedy, he is not stupid, and the person who came said that Lord Qincha said that as long as he cooperates, he will not be to blame for the bad things in the past, and there is still a place to be protected in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

With this reassuring pill, he also greeted his generals, be honest and cooperative, otherwise Lao Tzu will not protect you! So Shen Yu is in the most relaxed mood when sitting here.

The morale of the silver is naturally raised, what does it matter if adults love to enter Xi'an or not? He even thought it was funny, these civil officials were just too sentimental!

The prefect Meng Jiping was very embarrassed, he had already agreed with the big grain merchant An Jia to borrow his garden as the governor's mansion, but yesterday when the governor of the front station came to Gao Qianhu, he said that the Qin Cha had agreed to live in the salt merchant Yan Xin's courtyard.

After the meeting of Governor Meng was dismissed today, he had to hurry up to make amends, after all, none of the five "Zhao Yan, Zhang Liu An" could afford to offend.

Lu Chengyuan, the garrison general, was very conflicted, and he couldn't decide which way to go. His relative, the Ministry of Shangshu, sent someone, meaning that he tried to put on small shoes for Li Dan, to embarrass him.

However, Hou Dudu, who had the grace of promoting himself, said in the letter earnestly: There are too few civil officials who do not discriminate against military generals, especially this person is deeply trusted by the emperor, you should seize the opportunity to get closer to him. My left hand and right hand are all meat, what should I do?

was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Zuo Shenzheng say: "Brother Yide (Jiang Cunli), or I will go to Weinan for a while, at least test him to see what he means." What do you see?"

Jiang Cunli smacked his lips sadly: "Why should He Sheng (Wu Xianzhe) be reluctant?"

"Xia Guan is really worried, anyway, sitting here is unpleasant to eat, and he can't sleep."

A third-grade official wants to take the initiative to visit the fifth-grade official, even though Li Dan nominally participates in politics with the fourth-rank right, but in principle, there is no such reason.

But everyone is waiting for Qin to come up with an idea, no one dares to give an opinion or make an idea in this situation, and the entire Shaanxi government is in a state of silence, such as another pass and ferry, hey! It's a prison with tens of millions of people.

Strangely enough, this kind of thing would have been seen as circumcision in someone else

According to the rebellion, Li Dan did not know how to persuade the emperor, and His Majesty acquiesced to his plan.

In the face of the abnormality, everyone instinctively blew up their feathers, who thought that people didn't get close at all, washed and slept on the spot, so that everyone and all preparations were almost flashed.

"Okay," Jiang Cunli finally nodded, "That'...... Just go hard and prosperous."

"Slow down, adult." Wei Lu stopped and said, "Since Hesheng represents the political envoy, it is better to let the prefect or garrison go here to alleviate the embarrassment and also express a welcoming attitude on behalf of our warriors in Shaanxi."

"Well, that makes sense!"

Shen Yu scolded secretly in his heart, this Wei Lu is good at pondering people, and he actually came out like this, as if Lao Tzu didn't speak and didn't welcome Qincha.

He thought that anyway, Qin sent me a silver ticket here, how do you like to toss it! Therefore, they do not open their mouths.

Lu Cheng took a look at it from afar, which meant that I had to be a general, and I didn't dare to poke Lord Shen directly, so I was ordered to go on this trip. He glanced at Shen Yu's expression, and put on a smile on his face: "Then I will obey the order."

Jiang Cunli and Wei Lu saw that he knew what was going on, and they both nodded with satisfaction.

Stopped in Weinan Li Dan had his own plans, and he was not sure that he would control Xi'an Mansion in his hands, so he didn't want to rush in.

Lin Yutang, who arrived in advance, had already started working, and Lin Yutang publicly identified himself as Li Qincha's staff, so he quickly blended into the circle of officials.

He had already been the chief bookkeeper of Yu Gan, and later acted as an agent for Jinxi County, so he was handy in officialdom, and he had already sent two copies of Shaanxi officialdom's research information in a row.

Liu Qi is hidden behind the scenes to conduct a detailed investigation of the active market, commodity circulation and the contradiction between banknotes;

Xiao Gui was introduced by Master Tiedao and successively made friends with some middle and lower-level officers of the Kunwu Army and the Wu'an Army, and learned from them about the problems existing in the army and the relevant situation of combat effectiveness.

Li Tiedao secretly began to weave Shaanxi's intelligence network, while Gao Fei appeared semi-openly as a special commissioner of Shaanxi under the Ministry of Staff, and through the Department of Staff, he reconnoitred and learned about the situation of the Zodiac Sect, Yeerqiang, and Tubo.

Li Dan stopped, there was a purpose to wait for Zhou Zheng to catch up with Wei Xiong and Dou Jiong, and they wanted to assist the staff to carry out a comprehensive monitoring and investigation of the Zodiac Sect.

Li Dan "recupesces" at home, and it is rare to get along with A-Ying more, gathering less and leaving more, so that not only are they not rusty, but they like to stick together more recently.

Li Dan sat on his lap every day, watched him draw red, whispered to him how to write better, and applauded or cheered to encourage him when his writing improved.

Wu Shi was talking to Ah Ying while doing needlework, and when they heard his loud compliment, they both raised their heads and smiled.

"Don't praise him like this, you spoil this kid!" Wu Shi said, and called his son: "Come down, you are so old, you are not afraid to press your father-in-law?"

"How could he hold me down? But this kid is getting heavier and heavier, and it will be hard to say in another year." Li Dan got up with a smile, let the little guy continue to practice by himself, and came to the table to drink water.

After so many years, he is still not used to drinking tea elegantly, of course, when he messes with officials, he still drinks plain water more at home.

"Yingniang, you are a good teacher! I heard that he had finished all the textbooks for the third grade of Yugan Primary School? Oh my boy, that's amazing! I'll have to test him sometime!"

"Do you still need to take the test?" Ah Ying glanced at him: "I have already tried last year's paper, and I got 90 points in language, full marks in arithmetic, 89 points in geography and 92 points in nature."

"You, the chief examiner of the stepmother, won't release water?"

"Nonsense, how could I do such a thing?" Ah Ying glared at her husband with a smile, and suddenly remembered, "Let's go to Xi'an to see Master Iron Knife, he should continue to learn martial arts."

"Huh?" Surviving Shi heard a grin: "Father-in-law, I am busy learning a lot of things every day, can I not learn martial arts. Why don't you let Uncle Stone teach me?"

"No! That guy in the stone can't be ruthless to you, and the fists and legs of the Pure Sect can't be on the battlefield!" Li Dan unceremoniously refuted back:

"Your father is so heroic, I can't be a fancy civil servant for you. Boy, remember to me, in the future, you will be in charge alone, who is willing to convince you if you don't have the ability in your hands?"

"That is, learn from the righteous father, aren't those soft-handed officials obedient in front of him?" After Wu finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Cao Jun walking towards the door, and immediately gave Li Dannunu a mouth.

"My lord, two officials came to Xi'an and said that they wanted to 'ask to see, Mr. Wu invited them to the living room, do you see it or not?" After Cao Zhongjun finished speaking, he handed over two famous stabs.

Li Dan opened it and took a look. The first time I saw this thing, it was quite a novelty, and it could be regarded as an ancient business card. But after seeing too much, he didn't get excited, and after thinking for a moment, he whispered:

"It's about to come to see my movements, and the gang in Xi'an are waiting for a hairy heart. Let's just deign to meet us." Cao Jun grimaced behind his back, thinking to himself that a left senator and a general, you still deigned to see each other.

However, when he returned to the living room, he still smiled and said, "Two adults, I heard that you are already changing your clothes, please sit down for a while."

It was Wu Xianzhe and Lu Chengyuan who came. The two of them were received by Wu Mao, and Wu Xianzhe had already heard that Mr. Wu beside Li Sanlang was his most powerful strategist, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and was carefully trying to get some useful information from Wu Mao.

Wu Mao learned that he was concerned about this year's summer tax, and told him with a smile that he didn't have to worry at all, Qin Cha came prepared, and these things had been considered.

Saying that, Wu Mao asked him about the payment of the two taxes in the province in previous years, and learned that the biggest problem in Shaanxi is population movement and hidden households.

The flow of population is easy to understand, but the province is mountainous and plateaued, and it is difficult for people to dig into the valley and say that they are relying on relatives and friends, buying and selling, and transporting. The pedestrian on the road, who knows if he has ever paid taxes?

If taxes are levied only on a fixed population, there are not only omissions, but also many complaints because of unfairness. According to Master Wu, every year there are people who are detained for scuffling with the officials of the tolerance department.

The so-called hermit is a person who gives his land to a person who has received tax exemptions, and then evades taxes under the protection of his family, and then takes some of the income to do well for the shelterer.

This dynasty does not do things as carelessly as the Ming Dynasty in the previous life known to Li Dan, and there is no confused policy like Lao Zhu's big hand waving the scholar as long as the scholar is tax-exempt, and the royal family is tax-exempt, but the preferential exemption still exists.

The royal family only has to pay half of the tax, the duke and above are exempted, those with meritorious service are reduced by half, and the jinshi and those with official positions above the ninth rank are exempted.

As a result, some people have relied on these people to obtain tax evasion, and in recent years, as the wasteland has been reclaimed, more and more people have done so, because the dynasty did not have the same commitment to Xindi as the Ming Dynasty did.

"So, how much do you think this will cause you to lose taxes?" Wu Mao asked.

"Alas, to tell you the truth, if we collect it without missing anything, it should be no problem for the province to increase its tax by another forty percent. But ......," Wu Xianzhe looked at Wu Mao, "Sir, do you know why no one is pursuing these things?"

Wu Mao smiled: "It's just worrying about the people's upheaval."

"Wow!" Wu Xianzhe was relieved, he was afraid that if he persuaded Qin Cha to make a contribution to the whole province, then Shaanxi would have no peace.

There was a sound of footsteps in the back hall, and everyone stood up. Cao Jun appeared first, lifted the curtain with one hand and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Qin has sent Master Li here!"

Wu and Lu were stunned, they didn't expect the introduction to be so brief, shouldn't they report all the official titles to demonstrate solemnity and decency?

Then I saw a tall and sturdy young man appear at the door, wearing a crown of jade hair on his head, a shawl, and a strong suit of arrow sleeves, and he bowed his hand to them, and said with great confidence:

"Xiaguan Li Dan, who was ordered to go to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia on business, has seen two adults. Fortunate, fortunate!"

Everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries. Li Dan looked at Wu Xianzhe and asked, "This accent sounds so familiar, may I ask where the adults are from?"

"Xiaguan was originally a native of Kaesong, North Korea, and his parents moved to Liaoyang and later became naturalized (referring to naturalization after marriage with a local woman), so he participated in the scientific expedition with Liaodong nationality."

"Oh, no wonder this accent is so familiar, Liaodong

There are very few people who participate in the scientific examination, and it is rare for adults to not only win but also achieve such a high position!"

This is the most proud of Wu Xianzhe's life, and when he was praised by everyone, his face suddenly became a flower, and he thought that this young Qincha really had a hand, he actually figured out my details in advance, and deliberately mentioned that he would teach the old man to be happy, but he would be a man.

"The lord immediately saved Liaodong with a horizontal sword, blocked the 200,000 soldiers of the Kerr people, and it is said that he also saved the old man's family and township, and it should be the old man who thanked the lord!"

Saying that, Wu Xianzhe got up and bowed deeply to Li Dan, Li Dan hurriedly stepped forward and helped him sideways, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious for a while.

Sitting down again, Li Dan picked up the bowl and ate tea. Wu Xianzhe saw that he had to take the initiative to bring up the conversation: "I wait for the officials and people of Xi'an to look forward to Qin Cha like Ganlin, I don't know when Lord Li will go to Fucheng? If you have the right letter, we can wait to prepare for it."

"Oh, this one, there's no hurry. Wait." After speaking, Li Dan put down the bowl in his hand.

Wu and Lu looked at each other when they heard this, the smile on Wu Xianzhe's face gradually faded, and he frowned and asked, "May I ask Lord Li, but what did I do wrong, or did the adults dissatisfied, or did the adults have other considerations?"
