Wu Xianzhe was invited to stay in Weinan for four days, and together with Li Dan, he drafted the "Shaanxi Tax Collection and Management Measures" and the "Scope and Rules for the Use of Tax Payment Certificates", which stipulated for the first time:

Citizens of the Empire and foreign vassals were obliged to pay taxes. For the first time, tax paying was linked to civil rights.

Although Li Dan understands that this is still 108,000 miles away from civil rights in the true sense, this regulation is the beginning, and it will be evaluated in the future that it has opened the door to all civil rights!

According to these two legal documents, only tax-paying villagers and expatriates can be protected by the imperial Shaanxi government, and have the same rights and interests as others in law. In other words, if you don't pay your taxes, I'm sorry!

You can't fight a lawsuit because the government won't support you, and you can't do business because the guild won't accept you;

You can't pass the pass, because the county won't give you a way out, and you can't stay overnight, because you have been stranded in the province for a year, but you haven't paid taxes, and the store doesn't dare to stay;

Even if your father and mother die, you won't get the inheritance, because you haven't paid the previous taxes.

So is there no way out for the poor? No, the Rules declare that you can apply to volunteer for the government and pay your taxes according to your hourly salary.

For example, if you participate in roads, bridges, and construction projects, add up the taxes you owe and the food and accommodation expenses provided by the government, calculate how many hours you should volunteer, and then the household will transfer your information to the workshop to arrange work.

The number of hours in the current year must be used up in the current year, and the tax payment certificate can only be obtained when it is used up. Of course, it is also possible to make up the payment when there is money or money in kind.

If the number of hours in the current year is not used up, the tax debtor needs to report to the county barracks and serve the number of hours owed. Servitude is a form of forced restraint, but it's no easier than a volunteer being able to visit home.

There is also a major change in these two documents, which were originally intended to facilitate the circulation of paper money and avoid the use of money.

The government has imposed a requirement to use banknotes issued by the dynasty to pay taxes, but now the regulations are relaxed, and banknotes, money, and goods can be used.

At first, Wu Xianzhe didn't understand this change, but it wasn't until Li Dan patiently and meticulously explained to him and showed him a sample of the Liao banknote that he suddenly realized and readily agreed to this article.

They spent a day discussing each article one by one, until each article was clear, and Wu Xianzhe returned to Xi'an with the text in a hurry, and rushed to Jiang Cunli's house without even entering the door.

Jiang Cunli looked at the document carefully, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "This, this, and Brother Sheng have all read it?"

"Not only have I read it, but I also discussed and drafted it with Li Youshen. You see, this is a handwritten transcription by the lower officials!"

"Shhh Jiang Cunli frowned deeply.

"Brother Yide, but you're too surprised?" Wu Xianzhe asked with a smile.

"It's not just a surprise, it's a shock!" Jiang Cunli couldn't say anything on his face, and he couldn't say if this Qincha was going crazy, so he thought about it and looked up and asked, "What does Master Zuo Shen think of these two regulations?"

"There is no one before and no one after!" Wu Xianzhe shook his head and said, "This idea of using tax payment as an introduction is simply brilliant, it seems to have nothing to do with the banknote matter, but it is secretly preparing for the implementation of the new banknote."

As he spoke, he gave Jiang Cunli a detailed explanation, and then said, "Next, Li Youshen means to make a set of laws and regulations similar to Liaoning, such as the Banking Law, the Silver Banknote Reserve System, and the Regulations on the Issuance and Management of Silver Banknotes.

Li Youshen's original words are: The new deal promotes the law first, such as Shang Ying's change of law in the front, and only then can Qindi change its appearance in the back. Only when there is a law to follow can we win the trust of the people!"

He saw Jiang Cunli nodding silently, so he pushed again:

"Brother Yide, you are the governor of Qindi, and the lower officials and the right staff are only assistants, and if you draw up these two documents, please sign them together, and then submit them to the cabinet and the emperor for approval. If you feel that it is unfavorable to Sanqin, we can discuss it without worry."

This is also the tone that Lin Luggage Dan set for him. According to Lin Yutang's report, this Jiang Cunli is a loyal old official, but after his position is high, he is a little hesitant, and he is not as open as in the past.

Li Dan judged from many aspects that Jiang Cunli's essence was not bad, but the position of the feudal official was a little difficult for him

Force. So whether he can sign his name on the back of the document, Li Dan found it difficult to say, so he warned Wu Xianzhe not to be too persecutive.

Sure enough, Jiang Cunli hesitated again in the face of such an unseen practice, and a fierce struggle arose in his mind.

"To say that this method mentioned by Li Youshen is indeed ingenious, on the surface, it seems to be a way for the imperial court to collect taxes, and it also provides a new way for the people to pay taxes, but in fact, it kills three birds with one stone."

"How are the three eagles?" Wu Xianzhe was puzzled.

"The tax is one, the money is two, and the dismantling of the zodiac is three!" Jiang Cunli stroked his beard and said, "He is not stupid, he has never forgotten the Zodiac Sect. Isn't the reason why cults are rampant because of such things as currency and tax evasion?

Because of the war with the Ergu people, Shaanxi was burdened with the military losses on both sides of Guyuan and Yulin.

Since the county system was reformed in the Ula Ministry, the frontier has been much more stable, and the emperor has granted special permission to exempt the province from grain for two years, but the burden on the people is still heavy, and after subtracting 30 percent, it is still much higher than that of Henan and Huaisi, which is the fundamental reason for the displacement of people.

If we give everyone a way to deduct taxes, it can relieve the pressure on the people, and on the other hand, it will also solve the problem of insufficient government service and the people's refusal to pay for errands." After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

"Brother Yide said this, so do you agree with Li Youshen's proposition?"

"Wait." Jiang Cunli shook his hand. Put down the bowl: "The solution is good, but there are two cases:

First, it does not solve the fundamental problem but only alleviates it, and second, this "tax payment certificate" is really an amazing move, and if it is implemented, it will not only ask the cabinet to coordinate with the household department, but also affect the ...... the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

What will be the reaction of the imperial court after seeing it? It's hard to say!"

Wu Xianzhe thought that he really let Li Youshen speak, so he said in a low voice: "Actually, Brother Yide doesn't have to be too nerve-wracking."

"Oh? How?"

"As soon as I arrived in Weinan Yuan, Li Youshen pulled the officials to discuss the tax system, and slowly turned the conversation to this "Tax Payment Certificate", what do you think this means?"

Jiang Cunli was very clever and immediately understood what he meant: "You mean...... he may have discussed this matter with the emperor before leaving Beijing?"

"It may even have His Majesty's approval!" Wu Xianzhe lowered his voice: "He knows our origins and family backgrounds well, and when it comes to the mountains and rivers of Shaanxi, he knows better than the lower officials, what do you think this means?" People are already prepared!"

"Shhh Jiang Cunli gasped again: "Today, the true hero is also!"

"Yes, what does it mean to win a thousand miles and count the temple inside? And it can drive young talents like Li Youshen, and today's ZTE ambition is fully revealed! We were born to be the Lord of England, and we should assist us in accomplishing the great cause, don't you say?"

"Well, that makes sense!" Jiang Cunli was stunned: "Even if the cabinet has different opinions, it is also a matter between them and the emperor, why should we be the praying mantis that blocks the car?"

After he finished speaking, his mind was decided. Then he walked behind the bookcase and picked up the pen:

"If this case can be adopted, Shaanxi will be the first in the world, and the tax system, legal system, and service system will all change! The old man doesn't want to be famous in history, but he wants to be worthy of the land of Sanqin, and he can do it!" After speaking, draw and seal at the end of the document.

Knowing that Jiang Cunli had signed the detention, Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this old gentleman still understands that he is not the kind of person who eats the ancients, so the later things will be easy to handle. Li Dan sent a secret letter to the emperor, along with copies of two documents.

"According to your lordship's instructions, all the armies have begun to move." Shen Yu sat in Li Dan's line (after Wu Xianzhe left, Li Dan played the banner justifiably), opposite Lu Chengyuan, who accompanied the visit.

"But Yan'an is the farthest away, how long will it take to receive the news, and how long will it take to reach Luochuan to take the position, I am really not sure in my heart."

He also told the truth, the kind of valley terrain in northern Shaanxi, it was indeed difficult to communicate and liaise under the technical conditions at that time, not to mention that there was still an enemy-occupied area in the middle?

Li Dan thought for a moment and asked, "Does Lord Shen know that pigeons can communicate?"

The eyes of the two generals lit up: "Eh, I've heard of this, it seems that Gansu Town uses this method."

"That's good!" Li Dan

Immediately, he decided: "I immediately went to Gansu Town, and sent some pigeons. This is important, I can't wait!" Stopping, he said:

"Well, I'll find a few trading companies to hold a pigeon competition and see if I can find some good players and good breeds of pigeons from the people.

After Lord Shen returned, he made preparations and set up full-time signal corps in all armies of the forbidden army and their subordinate thousand generals, generals, villages, passes, ferries, and passes, as well as guards, stations, stations, and beacon forts, as well as training brigades and squadrons in various counties and townships, including existing heralds and pigeon letters.

You take a break first, and then we will discuss a charter tonight, the establishment, the number of people, the management method, the reward mechanism, and so on. Set up all the stalls in three months!"

Next, Li Dan inquired about the training and equipment, and promised to deliver 10,000 sets of infantry homogeneous half-body armor, 3,000 firearms and 150 two-inch guns, 1,000 war horses, and 700 horses to the Shaanxi army within three months.

"First equip two integrated regiments, one in Tongchuan and one in Hancheng." Li Dan said. Shen Yu and Lu Chengyuan glanced at each other, both knowing what the purpose was.

Zhou Zheng arrived with Wei Xiong and Dou Jiong, and was very happy to see his old acquaintance Li Dan. To Zhou Zhengxingyuan's position of joining the army and the department of the department, Wei Xiong was arranged by Shen Yu to hang up the experience of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Inspection Division.

Dou Jiong was the chief inspector of the ministry and took over the reconnaissance and investigation of the situation of the Zodiac Sect and various gangs in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo.

Li Dan's assistant to him was Qi Dazhuang, the deputy squad leader of Yu Liang's reconnaissance squad, and now he has accumulated the rank of sergeant because of his merits and joined Li Dan's personal guard.

The fifth crab king led people to follow the two monks, but they were lost after more than 80 miles, which made Li Dan realize the importance of relying on the locals. "Monks from other places may not be better at chanting scriptures than local monks!"

He smiled and said to the ashamed Crab King Five, "It's no wonder you, there are so many ravines in this place, it's really hard for you to climb up and down as a newcomer.

In this case, you go and post a notice saying that there is a shortage in our standard camp to recruit soldiers, and then you will pick 200 people as we recruit scouts in Liaoning, and then select the most capable and clever 40 people to form a detective team."

"What is this for?"

"It's a copy of our military intelligence department." Li Dan said: "You are here to be the military intelligence staff officer and the captain of this detective team, and in principle, the interrogator is responsible for it, and reports directly to me or my designated agent."

"Yes!"

But when the fifth king of crabs came to invite Li Dan to inspect his newly formed military intelligence team, Li Dan's brows furrowed, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. He called the crab king five to no one and asked angrily:

"What did I tell you? Why do you find me so many stinky fish and rotten shrimp? What kind of scout is this?"

"Your Excellency, listen to me." The Five Crab Kings looked aggrieved and hurriedly said, "It's not appropriate to pick people like scouts exactly as you said." Seeing Li Dan's eyes, he hurriedly shook his hand:

"I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that in Liaoning we are fighting with the Kells, but we can't do that against the Zodiac in Shaanxi!"

"Huh?" Li Dan looked at him again. But no, the people who rebelled in the Zodiac Sect were only a small part, and most of them were scattered in hidden places, and these people were still ordinary people.

If you throw a man who is six feet tall and has a big waist and a round waist among them, not to mention the eyes, and ordinary people will hide when they see it, then how can they reconnoitre?

Thinking of this, Li Dan understood his intentions, the five crab kings were not stupid, he found some crooked melons and cracked dates that were of three religions and nine streams, which were actually easier to win the trust of the enemy, and it was more convenient to conceal his identity.

"Understood, it looks like I'm wrong about you!" After Li Dan finished speaking, he patted him on the back, and the crab king five grinned when he saw him turn the corner, and quietly let out his breath. Adults are good at this, they never hide their mistakes, and they are willing to listen to others.

He taught them how to use daggers, repeaters, how to draw maps and terrain, as well as shorthand, gestures, cryptography, and Arabic numerals.

These people specially found an abandoned village in the ravine, and ran in it every day, attended classes, drills, practiced, etc., but they did not expect that this place would later become a special military intelligence school.

Green Flag is about to send a message, and the standard camp has already passed from Wuguan Road

Entering Hanzhong, now it is almost to Shangluo. Li Dan smiled and told A-Ying, "It seems that we won't stay here for too long, and we will enter Chang'an soon!"

Xingyuan packed up and left, but he didn't go to Xi'an Mansion for the time being, but went to Lintong first.

Here Li Dan participated in a "investment conference" organized by the political envoy for the businessmen, and the auction and contracting planned before were carried out at this meeting, and the result was a total of 1.41 million taels, Li Dan's confidence is now more sufficient!

If he has money and is easy to do, he immediately threw out several documents such as the "Rules for the Establishment and Operation of Banks in Shaanxi" (that is, the "Banking Law" mentioned by Wu Xianzhe earlier), and the political envoys signed and submitted them to the cabinet for approval one by one, and Li Dan wrote them in a secret fold and handed them to the emperor for preview.

Coincidentally, good news came at this time, the first two tax-related documents were approved by the emperor, and the cabinet finally had to agree to give it a try under the strong impetus of His Majesty.

However, the news obtained by Li Dan seems to have broken out between the emperor and the cabinet, and finally His Majesty threatened to dissolve the cabinet on the grounds that their attitude was inconsistent and lacked credibility, which forced the other party to draw a seal.

Another surprise to Li Dan was that it was not the familiar Liu Xi who came to give him the decree this time, but the eunuch surnamed Deng.

From him, Li Dan learned that Liu Xi was sent to take care of the water system in the garden after Liu Kan was demoted, but he was implicated in the last fish tarther incident and was punished by 20 boards and sent to the coal depot on an errand.

"Ahh Li Dan stumbled, he knew that he should be careful when he spoke, and now he probably offended Liu Xi ruthlessly. Li Dan regretted this.

"The consequences of offending a eunuch can be terrible!"
