Chapter 1401 Take what you need

"10% taxes..."

Chen Xu gently tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers. The sound of Lu Xing was shaking slightly like a machine gun.

"Beiyan Trading Company has set out for the South China Sea, and it is definitely necessary to prepare a large amount of food and clothing, etc., and it seems that it has purchased several brand new large ships, which are also valuable. Have you ever known how they paid for these payments?" Chen Xu asked after a long time of silence.

"Returning to the Marquis, Beiyan Trading Company has purchased procurement personnel near Langya. The large ships of grain and clothing were purchased and prepared for the purchase and preparation for the first half of a year, and they paid in time with gold and silver or redemption. This time, after they unloaded the goods, they quickly moved the prepared materials onto the ship. They left Langya in just about ten days. During this period, they did not hear about the default of payment for goods!" Lu Xing quickly answered.

"Well, it seems that Beiyan Trading Company is ready!" Chen Xu nodded slightly after pulling his chin and thinking.

Gongsun Beiyan has now set out for the South China Sea, with more than ten large ships and thousands of people. In addition, a group of Motu Taoist priests, Gai Nie and even more, or Chen Yu and Zhang Er and other radicals who had secretly colluded with Gongsun Beiyan, must have many talented people. Moreover, Gongsun Beiyan, as a banner of the resistance forces of the six countries, has been sought after by a large number of Gongsun nobles of the six countries who are dormant among the people. It is easy to deal with these trivial matters.

Now Gongsun Beiyan abandoned Yingzhou's huge interests and even the achievements of the founding of the country and decided to go to the South China Sea where he was unfamiliar with his life, which would inevitably cause a huge shock to the resistance forces of the six countries, and perhaps it would cause the division of the resistance forces of the Wei State. After all, Yingzhou's achievements are hard-won. Once Gongsun Beiyan, the most powerful, leaves, the huge power vacuum left will definitely cause the struggle between the resistance forces of the six countries and then cause battles between each other.

Chaos in Yingzhou are inevitable.

This is the ending that Chen Xu had already guessed.

Gongsun Beiyan was able to leave Yingzhou according to his guidance, but not only Gongsun Beiyan himself was able to escape from this mud, but also allowed the originally ambitious forces of the six countries to fight each other in Yingzhou, just like the seven heroes in the Warring States Period and were defeated and injured.

The rebellious forces of the six countries seemed to feel that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore the country, but they didn't know that all of this was deliberately promoted by Chen Xu, and the purpose was very clear, which was to give them a stage to kill each other on the deserted island far away from the Central Plains.

A small Yingzhou definitely cannot bear so many ambitions.

Through Chen Xu's understanding in Langya in the past two days, Yingzhou and North Korea have indeed not been peaceful in the past one or two years. I heard that several people have already raised the banners of chambers of commerce in Qi, Zhao, Han and Yan and other countries and started to recruit soldiers and horses. What's more, some people have begun to gather to open up land under the name of earlier vassal states such as Zhou, Song, Chen and Lu.

Yingzhou has now begun to enter the chaos of the princes fighting for hegemony.

In this uneasy environment, a large number of caravans and explorers will inevitably turn their eyes to the farther South China Sea, and do not want to be involved by these rebellious restorationists. Once there is no large number of caravans, Yingzhou will only become more and more chaotic, lacking various materials such as food, clothing, swords, weapons, etc. to maintain their respective strengths. They will inevitably be able to enslave the local natives to plunder a large amount of Yingzhou products and transport them to Daqin, and in disguise they become overseas colonists who developed Yingzhou.

The chaos in Yingzhou is the best ending for Chen Xu. The more chaotic the better. The Qin Dynasty only needs to continue to sell outdated arms to various forces like the United States in later generations, and make a fortune in silence. As for the opportunities for these restoration forces to counterattack the mainland in the future, it is impossible. The Qin Haishi will definitely beat him up all over the ground, and when a certain maturity is achieved, it will be a natural thing for Qin to completely conquer Yingzhou and incorporate it into the territory of Qin.

However, Gongsun Beiyan left Yingzhou to go to the South China Sea and did not take away the large amount of wealth they had plundered. Instead, they left them all in Langya to give them to him, which Chen Xu never expected.

Twenty thousand jin of silver, twenty thousand jin of sulfur, and thousands of treasures in the sea, with a total value of more than 40 million yuan.

This amount of money was enough to make the civil and military officials scream.

Once someone borrows this matter to accuse Chen Xu of colluding with the rebellious forces of the six countries, it is also a piece of mud in his crotch that is not easy to escape.

Because Gongsun Beiyan was a rebel force that the court had long been named, the first emperor was once angry when he took possession of Shui Qingrou in Wancheng.

Gongsun Beiyan left such a huge amount of wealth to him, obviously trying to use this matter to muddle the water and put himself in a dilemma. Whether this money is collected or not, the news will eventually fall into the eyes and ears of the court and the First Emperor.

Therefore, in Chen Xu's view, this huge amount of wealth related to the rebellious forces of the six countries is no longer a simple matter of paying taxes, but a bigger challenge to himself.

"Hehe, it's interesting and interesting. It's indeed an era where many talented people emerge!"

After sorting out the inward thoughts, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile on his face.

Now he is no longer the young man in the mountains and fields who had lived in the court for several years, fought with Zhao Gao and Li Si, and drank with Feng Quji and Meng Yi, and even the Grand Master Qinghou who walked on flat ground when entering and leaving the palace. He has clarified the links in an instant and has a deeper understanding of the resistance forces of the six countries.

The rebellious forces of the six countries are not without talented people. For example, Chen Pingyingbu, Han Xin, Caotang, Xiao He, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others are all powerful people on another time and space line. Although Chen Xu has already resolved it in this time and space line, the rebellious forces are still not to be underestimated. However, they are still a mess now, and these people's minds have been used in the wrong place. The purpose of showing off their own things so blatantly seems very vicious to others, but in Chen Xu's view, they still seem a bit childish and ridiculous.

I dare not say that my identity and status cannot be shaken in Daqin, but at least it cannot be shaken by just 40 million wealth.

Now it is the time when the imperial court is short of money, and this huge sum of 40 million can solve many urgent problems at once.

Facing Chen Xu's sudden smile, Lu Xing was a little worried, and his palms began to sweat when he sat in his seat. He even began to regret it and shouldn't have come to ask Chen Xu to pay the tax.

It would be fine if the Qinghe Hou agreed to this matter. If he did not agree to go back and mention a little in front of the First Emperor, he was afraid that his fifth-rank yamen chief would go home to farm and raise pigs.

It seems that no one has done the taxes collected by the left minister of the current dynasty, and Li Si never seemed to have paid the taxes at the beginning.

When he thought of this, the cold sweat on Lu Xing's forehead instantly rolled down.

"This is a gift, and the amount is huge. This marquis cannot take it all for himself. If 10% of the tax is too low, it will be collected according to the maximum 20% of the tax set by the Customs Administration. The rest will be temporarily left in the warehouse. After this marquis returns to Xianyang, he will arrange for the official in charge of the mansion to come to verify and receive it. I would also like to ask the Lu Procuratorate to write a detailed memorial to deliver it to the court!" Chen Xu stopped and spoke when he knocked on the handrail.

"Hu~~" Lu Xing breathed a long sigh and stood up and bowed, "The Marquis is kind and righteous, the emperor will do everything!"

"Well, Lu Jian Ling did a good job in this matter. The Qin Dynasty is better than magic to govern the country. This marquis also vigorously promoted various laws. Naturally, he could not know that the law was violated. Paying taxes is a natural thing, and there is no need to worry. This matter is arranged like this!"

"Yes, the official is leaving!" Lu Xing bowed respectfully and then left the living room, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

After seeing off Lu Xing, Chen Xu returned to the bedroom and talked about this with Shui Qingrou. Shui Qingrou was confused and helpless, and knelt gently in front of Chen Xu and said, "I don't know why Sister Beiyan turned into her current appearance. She actually wanted to use such a large amount of money to drag her down. If I had known that her character had not changed, I shouldn't have persuaded her to spare her..."

"How can you blame you!" Chen Xu gently lifted the water from the ground and hugged it in his arms and said, "You have grown up in Lushan Mountain. You are simple and kind, and don't know the dangers of the world. Gongsun Beiyan has gathered all kinds of people around him. In addition to the Six Kings, Sun Guo, there are also guardians like Gai Nie with superb martial arts, as well as Chen Yu and Zhang Er. All of these people are those with great wisdom and perseverance, which are beyond the reach of people. Otherwise, there would be no heavy pain in the heavenly books that the Chu and Han battle for hegemony brought to China after the collapse of the Qin Dynasty."

"You only have Gongsun Beiyan, a friend you have made since childhood. I cannot ignore it. Besides, it is not entirely because of you. If the Qin Dynasty wants long-term stability and peace, it is the best to calm down. As a microcosm of the restoration forces of the six countries, Gongsun Beiyan represents a huge group. Although this group seems to have disappeared, it is actually just a secret dormant. The Qin Dynasty will not fall for a day, and their resistance will not stop for a day."

"Dayu controlled the flood, and took advantage of the situation. It is better to be relieved than to block it. If I want to change the future of the Qin Dynasty, the restoration forces of the first six countries must be subdued or resolved. The development of Yingzhou and North Korea allowed the forces of the six countries to start to find a channel for catharsis, that is, to develop overseas. Gongsun Beiyan gave them a good start. A large number of the first six kings, Sun nobles, who had bad intentions, had already gone to Yingzhou and North Korea. This was the first step I had imagined, that was to lead the disaster to the east, but this was not enough, because these people also did not.

They are either unforgivable evildoers. They are just unwilling to lose their aristocratic status because they are unwilling to lose their aristocratic status. Restoring the country is just a cover. Just like Gongsun Beiyan, she does not necessarily want to restore the country. All she wants is a noble status of the past. As for Wei, Han and even Qin, it doesn't matter. Most of the restoration forces of the other six countries are like this. They each have different goals. Once they achieve some achievements, they will inevitably start to fight for power and status..."

Chen Xu sighed and shook his head: "It is impossible to restore the country. The general trend of the world is unstoppable, but the development of navigation has given them a broader space to realize their respective dreams. In addition to Yingzhou and Korea, there are the South China Sea islands and Western countries. All four continents can be accessed. Once these people are scattered, they will inevitably spread my Chinese civilization. As long as I, Daqin, is strong enough, they will always be the object of their dependence and fear. This is the second step for their husbands, called scattering their branches and leaves... Gongsun Beiyan seems to be calculating me, but in fact, this marquis is not using her, both sides take advantage of her needs!"

Chen Xu smiled and looked at Shui Qingrou's beautiful cheeks, "Do you despise me from the bottom of your heart for your husband to plot against her like this?"

"How dare Qingrou? Your husband is a genius who supports the country. Everything is naturally planned. Sister Beiyan plans to plot against you, but it is just a swaying tree. Since your husband has already planned it, Qingrou will be relieved!" Shui Qingrou hugged Chen Xu tightly and said softly.

"Well, I just let you not worry. My current status is not something that a group of old and young people in the six countries who have no foundation can shake. Gongsun Beiyan follows my guidance and abandons Yingzhou to the South China Sea. This is enough to see that she has actually begun to tame her heart. My strategy of scattering branches and leaves has actually begun to take root. No matter whether they can find Australia or not, as long as they find the place they think is suitable, it will inevitably drive the cargo ship to communicate with me, Daqin. With exchanges and exchanges, cultural identity will make them always regard Daqin as their homeland and as their soul destination. If they do well enough, I can even write to the emperor to sign her an overseas vassal king. At that time, the land occupied by the remnants of the six countries will be my Daqin dragon flag, the Daqin warships and merchant ships come and go freely, and the world is expected to be harmonious..."

"My husband has the talent to overcome the world and the heart that covers the universe. He admires the world with gentleness and tenderness. It's too late. I gently dress and sleep with my husband..."

"Well, it's better to rest early today. Thank you for your hard work when you go out this time!"

"It's too late to be with your husband every day. I like you gently. Why don't you say it's hard? By the way, my husband, will you really not criticize you for your money?"

"Don't worry, they are fighting meat buns... Well, they are wrong. They are stealing chickens and losing rice. I'm short of money now. This money is like raining in time. Next time, if I have the chance to go to Australia, I will thank your best friend!"

"Hehe, if you really go, I'm afraid Sister Beiyan will sweep the bed and treat you!"

"I'll just sweep the bed, I don't know how many wild men she slept on her couch!"

"My husband is afraid he's wrong. I heard from Sister Zijin that Sister Beiyan is still in a perfect state?"

"real?"

"It's true that Sister Zijin is from Luo Shengtang. She has served Shao Si since she was a child and has been very knowledgeable about physiognomy. You can tell whether it is perfect at a glance!"

"Damn it, this is unscientific. Can those people not do anything like Gai Nie..."

"Sister Beiyan is a person with a miserable life. Qingrou can't hate her. This time her husband specially prepared the modified Five Poison Shuhun Water for Gai Nie. I think the two will eventually get married."

Amid the soft conversation, the sound of undressing clothes and untied in the room stopped, and soon the candlelight from the window also went out.

"Husband, the night outside the window is so beautiful!"

"Well, it's really late at night, go to bed early, I'll have to hurry tomorrow...zzzzzzz"
