Zhao Chuanxin's unhurried attitude really made Huang Shifu angry.

But he didn't dare to really turn his face with Zhao Chuanxin.

The Bureau of Reclamation has a small number of troops to ensure the smooth progress of reclamation.

But this little soldier is afraid that it is not enough for Zhao Chuan's salary to plug his teeth.

Moreover, Huang Shifu noticed one thing.

The five-winged soldiers brought by Zhao Chuanxin were each equipped with fast guns and sabers.

The guns were good guns, and the sabers were all Cossack cavalry knives, which immediately reminded him of Manchuria-Chali and Hailar, where the Tsarist armory was stolen.

Sure enough, it was Zhao Chuanxin who did it.

Looking at it, the soldiers were strong and strong, and Huang Shifu felt that his scalp was numb.

He snorted, turned around and walked away.

On the way back, he said to his subordinates: "Look, Zhao Chuanxin will definitely get into trouble." When he hit the south wall, he knew he would regret it. ”

The subordinates nodded in agreement.

The subordinate asked: "General Manager Huang, how can we go back to the errand?" ”

"Didn't you see Zhao Chuanxin's resolute attitude? Who would dare stop him? ”

"Forehead ......"

Huang Shifu's words, the head of the five wings also heard it.

Zhao Chuanxin's attitude made them ecstatic.

Che Hezha looked at the direction in which Huang Shifu left, spat out, and scolded: "Dogs, not people." ”

Katsufuku also said, "Lord Prefect, don't listen to his slander!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin is very smart, and after only a few days, he is a little used to some things in officialdom.

Seeing the happiness of these people written on his face, he beckoned to Hu: "Zhana, Balaji Nyima, you two come here." ”

Zana is Hu Da's real name, and Balaji Nyima is Hu Er's real name.

When the two brothers came over, Zhao Chuanxin said to the chief manager of the five wings: "Zhana was the candidate for the chief card officer before I took office. Balaji Nyima is the head of the patrol police station that I have scheduled. ”

In the past two days, Zhao Chuanxin has decided on other people's positions, but there is no news from their brothers.

also said that Zhao Chuan's salary was reversed.

Listening to Zhao Chuanxin's words, the brothers were overjoyed.

But he also looked at the five-wing chief carefully.

Their future subordinates are all from the Five Wings.

Che and Za and Katsufuk's faces froze.

However, Zhao Chuanxin has just stated that he and Huang Shifu are not in the same group, and they are on the same front.

Zhao Chuanxin sided with a compromise, then they had to give in.

Che Hezha's face struggled and changed several times, and he could only bow his head and admit it: "It's all up to the prefect." ”

The rest of the people followed suit.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with satisfaction, this is probably called politics, and he said to Hu Da: "The important task of being on duty, guarding the side card, and protecting the people of the Five Wings and Eight Banners will be handed over to you." In the face of Tsarist Russia, which is eyeing the tiger, this job is not easy to do, fight when it is time to fight, and give in when it is time to give in. ”

They are not Zhao Chuanxin.

It doesn't matter if there is a small-scale friction, in a large-scale battle, the corps on Maozi's side will press over, and I am afraid that it will be beaten in the face.

We must not lose face, we must dare to fight if we really fight, and we must not start an all-out war.

That's the scale he needs to handle.

Hu Da hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will do their best not to embarrass the prefect!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Hu Er again: "The patrol police station is also equally important, and the follow-up must not only cooperate with the accounting office to collect taxes, but also cooperate with the official goods bureau to implement some government decrees, and at the same time maintain public order." Are you likely to be competent? ”

Hu Er thought shallowly, and Zhao Chuanxin's words, he only listened to the last sentence of "maintaining law and order", so he hugged his fists and said solemnly: "I will do my best to mark it!" ”

But Yao Jia next to him listened, but glanced at Hu Er thoughtfully.

He could guess something, but he still didn't understand what Zhao Chuanxin's specific plan was.

But he figured out that the official goods bureau must be very involved in a wide range of areas and have great powers, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to forcibly decentralize even the patrol police station.

It can only be said that the future is promising.

Zhao Chuanxin struck while the iron was hot to determine the location of the Hu brothers, and at the same time carved copper seals for them.

The Patrol Police Bureau is established.

Killing Russian businessmen and protecting Russian businessmen, Zhao Chuanxin did two contradictory things, but no one dared to make trouble at the temple fair.

At night, Rebecca Levi packed up her money and ledgers and locked them in the safe.

She secretly dragged Zhao Chuanxin aside: "Ethan, the transaction volume is scary." ”

The trading volume in a day and a half is staggering.

As she spoke, Zhao Chuanxin noticed that her hands were trembling.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care about this, and at this time, he raised his eyebrows: "Take less?" ”

Rebecca Levy said: "We've already traded more than halfway through, and it's estimated that we'll be able to finish seven or eight points in one day tomorrow, and we'll be able to leave the night after tomorrow." So far, the transaction volume has reached 1.48 million silver dollars......"

In the Qing Dynasty, Jin was converted into two for the base hexadecimal. 16 taels per catty.

But two and money, money and cents are decimal system.

One tael 10 cents, one penny 10 cents.

3 cents tax, that is, 3 cents tax on the transaction amount of one tael of silver.

Both 3% tax.

Zhao Chuanxin roughly estimated that this amount really surprised him.

This is also thanks to Yao Jia's audacity and carefulness.

Zhao Chuanxin and the soldiers worked during the day, and had fun at night, and after two more days, the temple fair finally came to an end.

When the last herdsman greeted Zhao Chuanxin and left, only the lamas in the temple were left to clean up the mess.

Rebecca Levi excitedly said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Ethan, what do you guess the final transaction amount is?" ”

This time she didn't avoid others.

Everyone looked over.

Rebecca Leviyan said, "2.13 million silver dollars!" ”

The five-wing chief was dumbfounded.

I just feel my mouth is dry.

Che and Za muttered: "This is the largest transaction amount in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

The rest nodded their heads.

In the past, they had also heard of the annual temple fair transaction volume.

After all, the people who collect taxes come from their own banners.

But it has never been so exaggerated.

Shengfu said: "In the 30th year of Guangxu, the two taxes on livestock and fur, I remember clearly, a total of only 6181 taels 8 cents 5 cents 1 cents 6 millimeters, why is there so much now?" I'm afraid it's multiplied several times? ”

The thirtieth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1904.

It's 1908.

It's only been four years.

Badanga thought for a while and said: "Before last year, there were traders in advance for more than two years, and the tax evasion was unknown, resulting in many herdsmen coming late and unable to trade. This year is different, the postponement of the transaction, and the prefect's vigorous suppression, no one dares to evade taxes, so there is such a situation. ”

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Seal the box, go home first, and talk about it when you go back." ”

After sealing the box, he pocketed the tax money to make sure that nothing went wrong.

Is this a lot of money?

Many.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously.

On the official side, the money does not belong to the individual, and the individual's money cannot be taken out to confiscate it, one yard to one yard.

This money is not much for him, but it is an astronomical amount for Yubin Mansion, and he can do a lot of things.

Flying in the sky is Zhao Chuanxin's own industry, and he can build it casually.

But the province is different.

Even if he wants to expand, he can't do it privately, because it's about public funds and people's livelihood.

The group turned around happily.

Everyone was happy, but Yao Bing was sullen, because the playmates who had been running crazy for the past few days had all gone.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled when he saw this: "Don't worry, there will be friends to play in the future." ”

"Really, Master?"

"Naturally, it's true, there will be a school soon, and you can go to school every day."

Podigeril listened and said, "Lord Prefect, we also had a school here, which was destroyed during the Gengzi period. In the later period, the imperial court wanted to build a school, but unfortunately there was no silver to pay. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't go to school, and the baby on the grassland doesn't need to study to grow up. ”

Shengfu retorted: "This is not true. It is still necessary to study, you look at KLQQ, Ke-Erqin, they all built schools, are those princes stupid? ”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "The new ledger of General Levi's office, our pen post style and leading reminder, how many people can understand it?" How many of you are in charge, who can understand? Not only that, foreigners' technology is changing with each passing day, and Maozi's train can only be built by learning. Not only to learn, but also to learn well. In the future, everything will not be pretended to be in the hands of others, but will be exported, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, do you think Mao Zi still dares to oppress you? ”

The crowd was thoughtful.

But the prospects depicted by Zhao Chuanxin are too far away.

……

Song Xiaolian finally understood that something was wrong.

Zhao Chuanxin said that all things in the territory were handed over to the Yubin Mansion, and the Yubin Mansion would then be controlled by the Bingbei Dao, and the Bingbei Dao had the right to directly control the five wing governors.

Now, Zhao Chuanxin has directly taken over the tax collection.

He wanted to snatch it back, but the head of the Five Wings now only listened to the decree of the Bin Mansion, and the little manpower in his hands could not compete with Zhao Chuanxin.

The end result is a chicken-and-egg beating.

The more Song Xiaolian thought about it, the more unreliable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

called Huang Shifu over: "You go to Yubin Mansion for a run, I think the temple fair is over." In previous years, only one-sixth of the tax was retained as the official expenses of the yamen. You will recover the remaining five taxes, which will be handed over to the Yamen of the Governor of Hei-Longjiang......"

Huang Shifu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

In the end, I can only give up my life.

In the past, the work of escorting taxes was done by the chief of the five wings.

This time, Song Xiaolian was unavailable.

When Huang Shifu arrived in Lubin Mansion, he saw countless people, either using camel carts or ox carts to pull bricks, stones, clay and white ash, and were escorting them to Lubin Mansion.

The vacant land next to the province has become a hot construction site.

He pulled over a soldier on horseback and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

The soldier looked at his official mansion and said lightly: "As you can see, a house is being built." ”

"Which door to build?"

"The government is expanding, is it possible that we have such a small courtyard in the Yubin Mansion?"

"Where did you get the money to expand?" Huang Shifu had a bad premonition in his heart.

The soldier was impatient and pointed to the crowd on the courtyard wall: "You go there and see, you will know when you see it." ”

Huang Shifu hurriedly took someone over to check.

At the fence, there are three layers inside and three layers outside.

The people on the left and right wings of Xinba-Erhu, who did not work, watched, pointed and discussed.

Huang Shifu squeezed in to take a look, only to feel that the blood rushed to his brain.

It turned out that this was the temple fair tax notice of Yubin Province, which detailed the total amount of transactions in the temple fair and the amount of tax after removing the fire.

The total value of the transaction was 2,132,462 silver dollars.

Total tax revenue: 67,815 silver dollars.

There's a fur tax, there's a livestock tax, there's a related tax, and there's a few other taxes on big trades.

All categories are listed in detail.

Although taxes are not too much of a secret, they can't be made public?

Also, that's too much, right?

It is close to ten times that of Guangxu's 30 years, and it has also doubled compared with last year.

How is this possible?

A closer look at another circular states the cost of the expansion of the government, which is clear about the price of masonry and the wages of the hired people.

The third circular, for this time to help maintain law and order at the temple fair, the bonuses paid to the soldiers were paid according to one month's salary.

The salaries of the soldiers guarding the border are not as good as those of the new army, and they are all calculated according to the horse team, each person is only 4 taels per month, which is not enough, and every two is calculated according to 8 yuan of silver.

Zhao Chuan's salary was paid in full, that is, 4 taels per person.

A hundred people totaled 535 silver dollars.

5 taels per person per month, 4.5 taels of silver for subheads. That's part of the overspending.

The card officer and the chief card officer are counted separately, and the salary is naturally more.

In addition, there are reissued forage silver, cattle and horse silver, and car repair silver, which is not much money.

If the number of troops increases, it may seem that the temple fair tax is not enough, but don't forget that there is a follow-up tax, and every year is not just a temple fair.

In the fourth circular, the above enumerated the salaries and pensions for the dead and wounded of the soldiers in wartime.

Huang Shifu really wanted to shout: "Their lives are not so valuable, how can they catch up with the new army......"

Those who died of illness in the camp were given 10 taels of silver for burial; Those who died in battle will be rewarded for three years, and their families will have other pensions.

The government will set up a new hospital, and if you are sick from work or injured in war, the government will pay for diagnosis and treatment, and you will be rewarded in equal amounts, and you will be paid as usual.

In terms of military quartermasters, military hats, military uniforms, boots, belts, gloves, raincoats, bedding, backpacks, military water bottles, etc. are readily available.

Wherever you are strong, you must not bully the families of soldiers, otherwise you will be severely punished.

Because Zhao Chuanxin's soldiers all belong to cavalry, they are considered technical troops. Originally, more silver should have been given, but the current salary is not as good as that of the new army of the Qing court.

However, if he died in battle, the new army was only rewarded for two years, and Zhao Chuan's salary was increased by one year. Compensation for the dead and wounded, a little more than the Forces nouvelles.

The rest are no different from the new army, and the treatment is the same.

It seems to be an increase or decrease compared to the new army, but in fact, it is countless times better than these soldiers in the past.

The most important thing is that thirty years after Guangxu, because he was always in arrears of silver, the soldiers who guarded the card fled, and Karen was unattended. Now Zhao Chuan's salary is not only paid in full, but also in full.

Huang Shifu really wanted to shout twice, but he didn't dare.

Because of the soldiers around him, he raised his chest and raised his head, looking like he was raising his eyebrows.

At this time, whoever dares to go against Zhao Chuanxin, they dare to fight hard.

Okay, okay, Huang Shifu smiled angrily, is it so neat? You Zhao Chuanxin spent money to find someone to sell your life, right?

Looking at the fifth bulletin, it is the next direction of governance in the province.

What are the grass tickets, fish tickets, wooden tickets, mining tickets, salt tickets, relief tickets...... If you want to approve these bills, you need to apply for identity verification...... Huang Shifu couldn't understand it.

These are under the cross-management of the official goods bureau, the accounting office, and the patrol police bureau.

In addition, there is Zhao Chuanxin's management of the Russian people and land across the border.

Good fellow, he even took away the work of the Reclamation Bureau.

Huang Shifu's nose is crooked.

The meaning of Zhao Chuanxin is obvious, and in the future, the administration of Yubin Mansion will be completely transparent, and it will be tested by the masses of the Five Wings and Eight Banners, and it will be discussed casually.

Huang Shifu doesn't understand, what are the benefits of this?

Not only did he not understand, but even Yao Jia, the most enlightened general office in the Yubin Mansion, did not understand.

He asked Zhao Chuanxin: "The prefect, the so-called wealth is not exposed, and the so-called people can make it impossible to know it." It's not right for us to do that, right? ”

"Our Yubin Mansion is now full of passion, it is a mobilization system, everyone brainstorms when there is a problem, has the strength to work together, solves the problem and is thriving. But a year later, two years later, when the ship can't turn its head, the living water will become stagnant, and it will change to a pressure-based system. The pressure-based system, in many cases, must rely on the mobilization system to operate, and it must complement each other. Now you don't see the benefits of me doing this, but later you will understand that the people will force the government to have the characteristics of a mobilization-type system. ”

Zhao Chuanxin also explained: "In addition to the crisis brought by the Russian people, there is also the contradiction between Mongolia and Han. The best way to resolve the contradiction is not to hide it, but to bring the contradiction to the surface, compromise what can be compromised, and forcibly deal with what cannot be compromised, until both sides feel that their interests are balanced and their hearts are balanced. Human civilization was born on the basis of gossip. Gossip is gossip. You have to let the Mongolian and Han people express their grievances, and it is better to complain about them than to keep them in your heart or plan them in private. ”

Yao Jia was convinced.

It is worthy of being the veteran who supported Lugang Town with Zhao Zhongyi and them.

Sure enough, there was something.

But he didn't know that Zhao Chuanxin didn't say anything - as long as he Zhao Chuanxin was here, no matter how he played, he couldn't break the game. He's gone, so it's hard to say.

Yao Jia's concerns are actually justified.

Zhao Chuanxin knows some characteristics of the people, listening to the wind is rain, there are many smart people, and there are even more fools.

Zhao Chuanxin dared to do this, relying on a wrist that was colder and harder than iron, stupid and bad people did not dare to act rashly, and the cost of talking nonsense with him was far greater than casually typing on the keyboard.

While the two were talking, Yang Sanda came in and said, "Prefect, Huang Shifu, the general office of the Hulun Reclamation Bureau, asks to see you." ”

"Let him in."

As soon as Huang Shifu entered the door, he asked menacingly: "What about the tax silver?" ”

"What does the tax money have to do with you?" Zhao Chuanxin asked rhetorically.

"It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with the military preparation road, and it has to do with the governor's yamen. You can keep one-sixth of it in the Binfu, and I will take the rest and deliver it to the governor's yamen. Huang Shifu consciously took advantage of reason, and his words were righteous and awe-inspiring.

Zhao Chuanxin put the cigarette into the ashtray, waved his hand and said, "It's not this logic." ”

Yao Jia hugged her arms and watched happily beside her.

With such a large sum of money, the duck Zhao Chuanxin in his mouth can make it fly away?

Huang Shifu stood with his hands in his hands and said, "What kind of logic is that? ”

"The tax revenue in the Hailar area should be collected by the Yubin Prefecture, which is no problem, right?"

"Forget about you."

"When I went to work, it was clearly written in the paperwork that the province could be self-governing, and that was no problem, right?"

"This ...... No problem. ”

"That's the end of it. Oh, I see, is it not enough public funds for military preparation? Write the slip and hand it in, and I'll give you money. You have to write according to the truth, you can't deceive, I hate to be pretending to be false the most. ”

Huang Shifu didn't smash it in one breath.

Good guy, now it's your Yubin Mansion that allocates public funds for the military preparation road, right?

"You can't say that...... Huang Shifu still wants to argue with reason.

Zhao Chuanxin got up and said, "General Manager Yao, you and General Manager Huang will talk first, I still have official business to do." All industries are waiting to be prospered, and Zhao can only be worthy of the trust of the people of Li by burning the ointment and fighting at night. Hey, every morning when I get up early and look in the mirror, I almost want to kowtow to my great self as a sign of reverence. ”

Huang Shifu: "......"

Stinky and shameless.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored him.

Nowadays, many departments in the province have been established.

The manpower is so-so, they are all mediocre, but they are very malleable.

In so many departments, only Zhang Shouzeng's manpower recruitment to the Russian Negotiation Bureau, Zhao Chuanxin did not worry about it, these officials were recruited by Zhang Shouzeng himself, and most of them were Han Chinese.

Zhao Chuanxin is busy, and Zhang Shouzeng is also busy.

Because he received an official invitation to talks from the Russian consul in Hailar, Wu Sadi.

The meeting took place at a hotel outside the Manchurian-Chau Li railway station.

When we met, the smell of gunpowder was permeating.

Wu Sadi said viciously to Zhang Shouzeng: "I am talking to you today on behalf of Vladimir Alexandrovich Sukhomlinov, Minister of Military Affairs of the Russian Empire, and Horvat, the General Office of the China Eastern Railway Company. Do you know the consequences of Zhao Chuanxin's actions? ”

The subordinates next to him worked hard to record the conversation.

Zhang Shouzeng and the Qing court had the same thoughts from top to bottom, and their first reaction when they heard the words was fear.

But he's smart enough.

If the consequences were really serious, Wu Sadi would not have come to see him, and Nicholas II would have sent troops directly to fight.

At this time, Zhang Shouzeng's judgment was tested, and he took a deep breath: "Mr. Wu Sadi, are you here to negotiate, or are you here to ask for guilt?" For negotiations, I can negotiate with you on behalf of the Yubin Mansion, not the imperial court. If you come to ask for the guilt, I'm sorry, I can't represent Zhao Chuanxin, the governor of Yubin Prefecture. ”

In a word, Wu Sa was dumbfounded.

Don't be smart enough to jump out of the horn, the data are all based on real information, and some have changed, but there will not be too much difference.

The transaction volume of this temple fair market is indeed unexpected.
