Qu'a, Hefei Hou Xinggong.

"My minister, Yuan Shu, come to see Your Majesty."

"Cars and riders are free from rituals." The Marquis of Hefei sat firmly in Jiangdong, and obtained the exchanges and promoted the eight counties. The powerful soldiers under his command had exceeded 100,000. The officials and people from Jiangdong came to surrender and regained the emperor's atmosphere. For the Marquis of Hefei, the jade seal of the country was also indispensable. The benefits were more than the disadvantages.

"Give a seat."

"Thank you Your Majesty." Yuan Shu said thank you for your seat.

"Why did the chariots come from?" Niuzhu Camp is related to the safety of Jiangdong, and it is necessary to stay away from it.

"Report to Your Majesty. I brought my people across the river and attacked Xu and Yang in the north." Yuan Shu said concisely.

"The loyalty of the chariot is commendable." The Marquis of Hefei praised a lot and changed his mind: "Of course, there is a chance to win."

"I think this is a good opportunity given by God." Yuan Shu replied: "Wang Yun's power of the fox and tiger is easy to seize the country. Under Cao Mengde's "Order to Establish the Land" of the Ministry of Culture, a famous family was destroyed. In the future, there was a great chaos in Yanzhou. Now Cao and Lu fight, it is difficult to decide the victory or defeat. Yangzhou's Jiangbei counties and four counties are in trouble, and it is difficult to take care of themselves. I want to take Shouchun first and then seize the three counties. It is enough to protect Jiangdong from all over the Yangtze River."

"The chariots and cavalry are heading north alone, and if Liu Yao and Tao Qian are strong and clear, how can they last for a long time?" The Hou of Hefei also knew about the army.

"I have sent envoys to secretly communicate with the kings of Huai and Si." Yuan Shu then explained the secret: "It means that 'the auxiliary vehicles depend on each other, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold'. No matter who owns Yanzhou, the two of them will be difficult for them to become ministers. Now, all the policies of a country will be returned to the prime minister. The kings of Huai and Si have been doing things in advance and have been usurped. If they are framed again, the county will be cut off at the worst, and the country will be eliminated at the worst. Only by joining our alliance can we resolve the danger of destroying the country."

The eyes of the Marquis of Hefei flashed: "The kings of Huai and Si have always been concerned about me before, and there are so many things."

"Your Majesty sees it clearly." Yuan Shu bowed again.

"But after all, going south to Jiangdong. Apart from a river, there are two counties in Yangzhou, Jiangbei, and Guangling County in Xuzhou, blocking traffic." Yuan Shu planned, and the Hou of Hefei suddenly understood: "If the carriages get these three counties, you can connect to Huai and Si on the top and connect to Jiangdong on the bottom."

"I wish to be a vassal of the court." Yuan Shu was passionate and loud. He changed his subject: "After all, it is related to the country's destiny. Therefore, the kings of Huai and Si were also the head of King Chen. They need to pledge something before they can form an alliance with me."

"Are you going to pass on the imperial seal?" Hefei Hou hit the nail on the head.

‘Your Majesty, Shengming.’ Yuan Shu was moved and prostrated.

"Yes." Hefei Hou had made a decision.

"I will definitely live up to the holy hope." Yuan Shu held the national treasure seal in his hand and bowed generously.

Watching Yuan Shu leave the palace, the Hou of Hefei suddenly asked: "Shangshu, what do you think?"

He sat on the side seat, without saying a word to the Shangshu Liu Ba, and stood up and replied, "I'm afraid I won't return once I leave."

"I think so too." The Hou of Hefei smiled and said, "Yuan Shu is not willing to be under the jurisdiction of others."

"Your Majesty sees it clearly." Liu Ba followed the wishes: "However, as Yuan Cheqi said, if these three counties are obtained, they can be used as vassals."

"In this way, I can transfer the defenders along the Yangtze River. Attack Liu Biao in the east and Liu Yan in the south. All the enemies and Yang in the east." Hou Yan of Hefei said: "'The viper stings his hands, and the heroes can relieve their wrists'. Compared with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are more poisonous."

This is the emperor's voice, and Liu Ba said nothing.

I couldn't help but sigh. If King Ji had not come from the sky, could the Marquis of Hefei be a wise ruler?

"No." Yuan Shu was about to open the box, but was blocked by the chief clerk Yan Xiang: "The artifact of the country has been passed on, and the private view is unknown."

The two of them were in the same car, and no outsiders were present. Yuan Shu was a little arrogant, which was also due to his temperament.

"The chief clerk, what he said is reasonable." Yuan Shu then dispelled this thought. Looking closely at the jade box in his hand, Yuan Shu suddenly sighed: "I will return to King Chen soon."

"Ming Gong is not worried." Yan Xiang replied, "I don't think that King Chen is favored by him, and I am definitely not the common ruler of the world. The jade seal of the country is only stored."

"The chief clerk thought, who could be the master of the world?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Only King Ji is the one who deserves it." Yan Xiang said bluntly.

Yuan Shu smiled and was afraid that the artifact on his leg would fall, so he hurried to help him. He sat opposite Yan Xiang and helped him to help him.

After laughing, Yuan Shu whispered to Yan Xiang: "I'll leave here and 'block the thorns and settle Guanzhong' for Xuande. Do you know?"

"Hiss--" When he first heard the words of Da Yan, Yan Xiang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

A nameless fire suddenly ignited in Yuan Shu's eyes.

The chariot returned to the camp, and then ordered his confidant soldiers to escort Yan Xiang and pass on the imperial seal, and head north to Chen State. After obtaining the imperial seal, Chen Wang Chong brought Huai and Si countries to form an alliance with Yuan Shu to secretly help him cross the river and go north. He guided Shouchun.

The heroes in Jiangdong were afraid of it. Only Cao Mengde was the sea and Liu Dai and Feng Fleet. Now that Yanzhou is fighting fiercely, Cao Mengde has no time to take care of himself. Liu Dai strangled the tail of the river, and Qingzhou and Yanzhou intersected, for fear that "the city gate will catch fire and the fish will harm the pond." He did not dare to leave without permission. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was adjacent to Taishan County, connecting mountains and seas, and was even more like facing a great enemy.

It happened that King Ji went south to Yunmeng Daze and went to Wushan Yunyu Club.

If there is no tiger in the mountains, monkeys can be called kings.

Everything was ready, Yuan Shu transported all the food, grass and supplies in Niuzhu Camp. He took Zhang Kai, the Marquis of Jianchang, and his confidant soldiers to pretend to be a grain merchant in Jiangdong, and went back to the Huai River. He sailed to Shouchun and into the port and Tianjin.

"Where are the grain traders in Jiangdong?" Liu Yao asked.

"I heard that I wanted to go to Yanzhou." Then there was a Hong Kong order and answered carefully.

"Why not take the big river road in Yanzhou since then?" Liu Yao must have this question.

"I am afraid that under Liu Qingzhou, the sea will be blocked. Therefore, I entered Huai and Si, went up against the Great Valley, and went into Aocang Port." The port commander replied.

After all, Guandong is now occupied by the Marquis of Hefei. I am afraid that the governor of Qingzhou, Liu Dai, took the Huai-Si River route by taking the pretext of robbing grain.

Liu Yao smiled and said, "Everyone knows that I have always had a reputation for being a pure and honest person. I have never violated the people. Therefore, they all use Huainan to travel to and from all rivers and rivers, making a lot of profits. Cao and Lu fought against each other, and the valleys in Yanzhou were exhausted. At this time, they would definitely get huge profits when they sell grain north."

The Hong Kong Order met his intention, so he asked: "Is it OK to impose tariffs?"

"It's okay." Liu Yao said: "City and Guan Fu are the same as the times, so don't take too much."

"Here." Hong Kong Ling cheered up and took the order to go.

Question 27 of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic·Equal Loss Chapter": "Now some people hold rice and get three passes, three passes to get one, five passes to get one, five passes to get one, seven passes to get one, and five dou of rice to get another. How much rice is held in me?"

The answer was: "Nine out of ten pounds are liters, three-eighths."

As Liu Yao said, "City Fu and Guan Fu are all the same as the times." It is by no means that the Ji State "City Fu takes two in one hundred and Guan Fu takes one in one hundred."

In the 25th year of Jian'an Emperor Xian of Han, Cao Pi's "Excluding the Ban and Light Tax": "The reason why Guanjin is connected to business and tourism, the Chiyuan is used to prevent famines, and the establishment of heavy taxes is not to facilitate the people; the taxes that eliminate the Ban and Guangjin are all added to the taxes that are light on Guanjin."

From this we can see that the tariffs at the end of the Han Dynasty were often taken one (10%).

As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to collect tariffs: they are collected by quantity and by price. For example, cloth, grain, metal, etc., some physical objects will be collected as tariffs. For example, things that cannot be divided such as cows and horses, their market value must be estimated and taxed in coins.

Ten ships of grain and grain must be paid for passing by Shouchun.

Also, because the boats have different sizes and loads, they need to be converted first and then lifted to the ashore in sufficient amount.
