Great Husband of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Xu is missing.

Zhao Shu looked at Qing Qing and scolded Zhang Baian for a dog blood sprinkler, and immediately summoned Shen An.

"What did he say ... go to investigate, go to the people, is this your idea?"

"Yes." Shen An didn't expect that Zhao Xu would have been gone for five days, and there was no news.

"The people of the Imperial City Division lost his trail, you go to check."

Zhao Shu said coldly: "Meng Shanjun's scout is unparalleled in the world, and I am waiting for your good news."

Brother Chun is indeed a big killer, but this big killer can only detect the movement of the enemy army, and is useless for friendly forces.

Shen An walked out of the palace with a miserable face, and there was a waiter waiting inside. "My wife asked the king about the safety of the king."

The so-called wife is Zhao Xu's wife, Xiang Shi.

"No trouble!"

Shen An was very determined, Nei Shi went back and conveyed this.

"Shen Long Tu said it's no harm!"

"That's good." Xiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a semi-finished handkerchief. He smiled and said, "Shen Longtu is my famous general.

But the famous general is not easy to find someone!

There is no positioning system now, let alone notice.

Shen An stood outside the city of Bianliang City, very melancholy: "For safety reasons, I can't even offer a reward, how can I find someone?"

Once he offered a reward, he said how much he found the bounty of the king, and Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao would be able to swallow him alive.

That was an active exposure target. Zhao Xu was really in danger.

Do n’t doubt the determination of those who oppose the New Deal. Once there is a chance, they will wipe out Zhao Xu, a fanatical supporter of the New Deal, without hesitation.

So let's find out slowly.

Shen An calmed down, "Some asked him to go to the town to investigate. He said he would return in three days. Since he didn't come back, he was either in distress, or he felt that he had found something good .... A bodyguard will not be in danger unless he encounters a premeditated interception. Then ... go, let the brothers follow along. "

The soldiers of the Mengshan Army changed their plain clothes and started to investigate the news along that route.

"The king once ate here, and asked about the business of the shopkeeper and the tax payment."

This is a very remote restaurant. It doesn't even have lamb, it's all pork, chicken and duck, and that taste doesn't make Shen An even want to eat.

"The king ate half a chicken and drank a bowl of wine."

The dark table is full of stains. It's hard to imagine Zhao Yunneng, who was well respected, sat here and ate half a chicken.

Good thing.

Shen An left the restaurant, looked at the path in front, and asked, "Where is ahead?"

The shopkeeper was brought, and looking at him, he looked like a quail.

"Noble, in front of Caishu Village."

"This name is too domineering."

Caishu Village's homonym is overbearing, but it's miserable at first sight.

More than 100 families were scattered on the plains, and there was a small river just beside the village.

The house in the village looked tattered, and even a skinny dog ​​at the head of the village was thin and disfigured. At first glance, it was properly malnourished.

The skinny dog ​​barked, Huang Chun threw a piece of dried meat over, and the skinned dog rushed over to bite the dried meat. It turned and chewed, and there was a low howl in his throat.

Shen An dismounted and ordered, "It's okay to come a few people, the others are waiting outside."

He took the man into the village, and without following him, he followed the voice.

After passing the house in front, turn right and there is an open space. This is probably the place where the villagers are drying their food. It is very flat.

A group of peasants squatted there, and in front, the dirty Zhao Xu stood on the stone mill and was talking.

"... Why not raise more chickens?"

"Can't feed." An old farmer coughed, spit, shook his head and sighed, "Young man, raising chickens will not be enough to drive out, if you drive them out for food, you will either starve to death or get a snake The worm is killed. "

Uh!

This is life experience.

"Chickens need to be fed, and they can't eat enough at home. What can they feed them? There are only a few laying hens. The eggs can be exchanged for money."

"Why don't you raise more? It's better to sell eggs!" Zhao Xu felt that such things should be supported.

"I have to pay taxes." The old peasant disdainfully said: "But you have to pay taxes for everything you sell, don't you know?"

Zhao Xu will know, so it is very tangled.

"What if it doesn't pay taxes?"

He felt excited when he felt something he touched.

Shen An was also very excited and took the person back to the side.

"If you don't pay taxes, then we want to raise what we want, naturally we are not afraid." The old farmer was impatient and got up and said: "The family said that they are not alive, but squatting here is nothing but waste of food, go home and lie down. "

"That is, lying hungry slowly, going hungry fast."

"Go home!"

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "Send something here immediately."

The old peasant squatted down again and coughed, "What is it? This time, I can't send that dry cake, there is soil in it, and I can't pull it out."

Fuck!

Shen An was speechless, he did not expect Zhao Xu to rely on such tricks to collect public opinion.

"Just dry the cake, do you want it?" Chen Quan has also changed a lot in the past few days. First, it is dirty, and second, it is desperate.

They spent two days in this village, Zhao Xu said not to spend too much money, otherwise the people would not tell the truth, so he ran to the nearest town and bought this dry cake, even they Is to eat this.

This dried cake is very cheap, but it is even mixed with many things. Chen Quan vowed that he had eaten hay.

I'm not a cow!

He doesn't want to live on such a day, but the king eats it, can he not eat it? Gao Tao could turn him back with his own hands.

Farmers got dry cakes and carefully put them in their arms, then looked at each other with pride, probably to say that Zhao Xu was a mallet, inexplicably asked some questions, and then benefited.

"A final question, if you are not charged your business tax, what do you want to do?"

"Grow chickens and pigs, raise everything, you can grow things, and all kinds of valuable ones."

"Is that so?" Zhao Xu thoughtfully, "I understand."

Shen An left more than fifty people to squat nearby, and took the people back.

After returning home, Shen An told people to report, "I said the king was found, safe, and I should be able to return tomorrow."

He sent someone outside to prepare for the interception. If Zhao Xu wanted waves, he would get them back directly.

"Lang Jun, there are a lot of people here! They all brought gifts." Zhuang honestly appeared quietly, "There are even gold and silver gifts."

so nice?

Shen An narrowed his eyes and said, "Who?"

"All businessmen."

"Do not accept!" Shen An sneered: "This extravagance is said to be this generation, they are trying to die!"

Zhuang went to the door honestly, proudly said: "My family Lang Jun said, the extravagance is that you wait, this is death!"

Great Song is not Daming.

The businessmen in the middle and late period of the Ming Dynasty really had money. The salt merchants of the two Huai generations wished to use gold foil to wipe their ass, and even the emperor could not compare with the extravagance.

But that was Daming, Daming collusion between officials and businessmen.

And here is the Song Dynasty.

Zaifu were preparing to catch a few chickens to kill. The noses of these merchants were panicked when they smelled something wrong.

Zhao Xu came back the next day, looking ashamed.

He went back to wash it, and was caught in the palace after changing his clothes and taking a shower.

Gao Taotao's face was angry, seeing that he was not injured anyway, and did not lose his arms and legs. Then he said angrily: "I don't know how to bring more people with me when I go out, and why have I been here for so long? I'm not afraid of me and the officials ? "

Zhao Xu quickly admits his mistakes, instead of persuading Gao Tao to say something, but tearing her tears.

"When you were born ..."

Zhao Xu wanted to explode in place, but he didn't dare.

When a woman is nagging, it is like a flood crossing, who will stop who is unlucky.

"The king, summoned by the official family."

Zhao Xu Rumeng amnesty, ran away as soon as smoke slipped.

Went all the way to the front, and the Jaesukes were also there.

Han Qi frowned: "The gentleman is not standing under the dangerous wall, but the king is Meng Lang."

"Yes." Zhao Xu wanted to recognize this mistake.

But in turn he said his findings, "Your Majesty, the business tax cannot be increased!"

"Why?" Zhao Shu knew his purpose of going down, so he said calmly: "What did you find when you went down and talk about it."

"Secretaries surveyed many places in and around Bianliang City, from businessmen to the people. They asked carefully, the minister found that under the Song Dynasty, the rich get richer, the poor want poverty. Why? Because of taxes."

Zhao Xu didn't need to see any hints on the Wat board. He said with confidence: "The minister asked many businessmen in Bianliang. They said that the business was difficult to do. Many people said that if there was no other way, they must have lost their business."

"Huh?" Han Qi felt a little exaggerated, "Why? The Song Dynasty commercial tax increased every year, which means that the merchants are making money."

"Han Sang doesn't know, businessmen are making money, but most of them are keeping their lives."

"Who is that extravagant?" Zeng Gongliang was most disgusted by those who spend money like water.

"It's a great merchant!"

Zhao Xu said: "It is them who make the most money in the Song Dynasty, but the middle and lower merchants just maintain it. They have paid taxes and housing taxes willingly, but the business road is like the road of the tiger and the wolf. They are miserable. Your Majesty, there is a watch here. "

Miscellaneous scholars like to use tables and graphics to talk about things. Zhao Shu nodded, and Zhao Xu drew a table from his cuffs, saying, "Chen visited 27 businessmen in Bianliang City. The business is also different. They list out all taxes and fees for doing their own business.

"Fifteen percent?" Han Qi reached out, "Senior."

Zhao Xu handed over the form, Han Qi took it over, and several Zaifu gathered for a look.

The table is very clear. On the left is the total value of the merchant ’s goods. Above is the taxes and fees paid. At a glance, it is averaged at the end.

"15%, is it so high?" Zhao Shu was shocked.

"This is just Bianliang. If you are a businessman from other places, you will pay more."

Zhao Xu looked at them, remembered that they were sitting high above the hall, and when he tapped his head, he came up with various ideas and couldn't help shaking his head.

This won't work!

"Courage!" Zhao Shu finally saw this form ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He was also angry.

"The local government has searched for severe tax and miscellaneous taxes. One is to get a good political performance and the other is to swallow privately. So these complaints are all attributed to the central government and your majesty, but the benefits are swallowed by those officials."

Zhao Xu continued, "The minister went down to look around and thought that the commercial tax should not be increased. Instead, he should abolish all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Whoever dares to set up a card in the place to collect money will be won."

He said aggressively: "In very moments, we must use extraordinary means, and Chen suggested to distribute all."

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and said: "It really is greedy!"

Han Qi asked: "What about those rich merchants?"

"Luxury businessmen?" Zhao Xu remembered the luxury of those businessmen, and he couldn't help but think about it, which is probably the kind of black belly, "There are almost people behind every luxury businessmen, either dignitaries or officials, and their goods are transported everywhere. Where do the local officials dare to intercept them? There are even ... "

He lowered his voice and said sadly: "Your Majesty, middle and lower businessmen pay taxes honestly, but they are still squeezed by harsh taxes, but those high-ranking merchants can often evade commercial taxes. So their business can naturally make money, Why? Pay less taxes! "

When Zhao Shu rarely saw his son's sadness, he couldn't help but get angry.

He was even more angry about the greed of the merchants and the collusion between officials and merchants.

"Check! What about Zhang eight years?"

The official family was angry, Zhao Xu stood there with his eyebrows down, but he was laughing.

Luxury, proud, this time let you all spit it out!
