Erli is now seeing Zong Yan Jian, and he is busy asking him for peace and asking him. Before learning about Wanyan Xun's identity, Ma Wanli only regarded him as a vassal of the Marquis, maintaining the necessary politeness and not offending him... But not long ago, he actually heard that this person's name is Wanyan Hen, and he is the elder brother of the Jin emperor. Ma Wanli was having a meal at that time and jumped up immediately, and the food in his mouth made his wife's face full of food.

Han Zhongwei didn't know who Wanyan San was, but he knew how much Wanyan San was to the Western Xia. Even the princes of Zhongxing Prefecture, even the emperor, had to respect and treat them with respect. The national policy of Daxia has always been to join the Jin Dynasty and attach to the Song Dynasty. When facing the Jin Dynasty, he always regarded himself as a younger brother and never stared at him. Not to mention that Wanyan Xun was the emperor's brother, even if an ordinary official from the Jin Dynasty came to Daxia, the court would handle it carefully, for fear that the poor hospitality would offend the other party.

And he was just a small prefect. Faced with such a noble guest, he dared not respect Wanyan Mo? That is, Han Zhongwei dared to take his master's arrogance in front of Wanyan Mo. If it were Ma Wanli, he would probably lose his feet immediately after learning about Wanyan Xun's identity and lay directly on the ground.

Wanyan Xuan took it as if she was taken for granted by Ma Wanli, and she looked at Han Zhongwei with a slant. The meaning was obvious, did you see it? Your magistrate knows to respect yourself, how dare you really regard yourself as my master?

Unfortunately, Wanyan's artificiality made Han Zhongwei very unhappy.

"Master Ma, Wanyan He is just my apprentice. He has no official duties when he comes to Heicheng. You don't have to treat him like this. Just treat him as my junior student. If you salute like this, you will lose your identity as a child. Han Zhongwei saw Wanyan Xun's arrogance and immediately ordered Ma Wanli to attack Wanyan Xun.

"Yes, Marquis, I don't know what is important to call the officials to come?" Ma Wanli agreed, but he didn't dare to really regard Wanyan Han as the Marquis' apprentice. Unless he thought his life was too long, he would do whatever he should do. Not to mention himself, he believed that even the officials in the court would not dare to be rude to Wanyan Xun. I'm afraid that the Marquis in the world would be the only one in the world, and he would dare to be careless to Wanyan Xun, and he would come and go when he called him.

"Ma Wanli, Heicheng has been under my rule for several months. I don't know how many tax sources are, so what about tax revenue?" Since Han Zhongwei wants to show his talent in governance in front of Wanyan Xun, of course he has to ask this most critical question. Whether a city is well managed depends on whether the people live and work in peace and contentment. In fact, it is whether the official database is full, and whether the official database is full and whether the tax revenue is sufficient has a direct impact.

"Reporting to the Marquis, Heicheng was originally a key area in the border area, and the tax source has always been thin, only horse tax, tariffs and city taxes. The horse tax has always been collected by the Weifu Army Office, and the prefectural office only collects tariffs and city taxes. The Marquis' blessing, this time the Dingguang Buddha was consecrated, the Heicheng tariffs alone were enough to be equal to the Heicheng's annual tax revenue last year. Heicheng is a military fortress, and the main consumer groups are officers and soldiers and their families. The tariffs and city taxes have never been much. Only horse taxes can be slightly raised, but they are collected by the Weifu Army Office. The 5,500 good horses supplied by the three tribes under Heicheng were directly entered the military camp. If this were to the Prefectural Office, Ma Wanli's waist could be raised a little at this time.

At this time, the Ma City in the city was also closed due to the transfer of Weifu Army Office. With the loss of a large number of people, the taxes in the yamen were even less. If Han Zhongwei, the big financial owner, had not replenished the warehouse as soon as he came, I am afraid that the normal operation of the prefect's yamen would have become a problem now. "The tariffs collected during this period would be a tax for one year?" Han Zhongwei said in surprise. The so-called tariffs are taxes for entering the city. Every citizen who came to Heicheng had to pay the money when entering the city gate, otherwise he would not be able to enter.

"Yes, there are 100,000 people coming to my Heicheng today. The tariff of ten cents per person is one million yuan.

"Ma Wanli said excitedly, when will so many people have been here in Heicheng every day? If the main streets in the city were not crowded, there would probably be more people coming in.

"A million yuan will make you happy. It seems that Han Zhongwei, who used to be a prefect, was light enough to be a prefect, shook his head and said.

"The Marquis clearly saw that the population movement of Heicheng was extremely slow. Before the Marquis came, it was the day when he could collect five thousand coins a day. Heicheng is a military fortress. Heicheng is always strictly preventing the enemy from doing it carefully. Who would have nothing to do to come to Heicheng? Moreover, the tariffs in Heicheng are high, and each person is ten cents, which scares ordinary people so much that they dare not come in.

"Tariffs will be reformed soon, so I will discuss this matter in the future. Will Heicheng only collect taxes in the city? There are tens of thousands of herders around. What about their taxes? Han Zhongwei is not interested in tariffs. If a city wants to vigorously develop business, it has to attract people from all directions. The tariffs in Heicheng are so high, I am afraid that others will stop at the city gate if they want to come.

Now Heicheng has the best attraction, Dingguang Buddha. If the tariffs are cancelled, the people around him will not come in a crowd? But there is also a prerequisite for the cancellation of tariffs, that is, the tertiary industry of Heicheng has to be vigorously developed. If people cannot consume in Heicheng, then the cancellation of tariffs will be more than worth the loss. As long as his largest restaurant opens, Han Zhongwei feels that the time is ripe.

Originally, he had too much money to get moldy, and he really didn't like these small money. But now if he wants to truly manage Heicheng well, these small money must be on the right track. Moreover, his money now has become a pile of paper and is sealed in the warehouse. He is sitting in the mountains and eating up, and the water flows forward.

"There are three obituaries in Heicheng. The taxes of the ponds are collected by the tribe leaders and are deducted from the call of Weifu Army. Now that the Weifu Army Department is transferred, the pastoral tax has not been collected this year." Ma Wanli said carefully. The tribes under Heicheng are like smaller kingdoms. In their eyes, they do not dare to move as a prefect. In the past, because the Weifu Army Department is present, they dare not make any changes. Now that the army is gone, it is not nice to say that the escorts of the Marquis' Mansion are not the opponents of these tribes. If you want to collect taxes from them, you can only think about it.

Xixia is a tribal alliance country. The country is composed of tribes of different sizes and implements a military system that integrates military and civilians. All adult men engage in production in daily life, but are soldiers in wartime. Local troops still use the original tribal organization form, and the tribe leaders are in charge of the troops of the tribe. They are like militias or reserves. Once a war breaks out, these tribes will start their headquarters at any time and wait for call.

"Since the Weifu Army Department has been transferred, their taxes must be handed over to the Marquis' Mansion. I ordered your prefect to collect Han Zhongwei on behalf of the government office, but I don't think these small tribes can stir up trouble. No matter how powerful they are, they are still citizens of Xixia. Unless they want to rebel, they will be their master.

"Ma Wanli responded with the order, thinking, "Don't the Marquis want to continue doing it anymore? He actually handed over such an impossible task to himself.

"I said to Master, you were very embarrassed by Master Ma just now. Just like a person could only eat half a pound of meat at a meal, but you insisted that others eat five pounds. Isn't this a difficult situation? Wanyan looked at Ma Wanli's heavy and slow figure and pouted at Han Zhongwei.

"Did I have troubled him? Why didn't I find it? Han Zhongwei didn't think that these tribes would cause him any trouble. Since Li Chun was probably the Marquis of Heicheng, these three tribes are also their own people. To put it bluntly, they are just their own slaves. Not to mention that they just want to pay taxes, even if they are asked to work hard, they must not violate it.

"If you ask him to collect horse taxes from those herders, you can think of it. Can he collect it? Of course, if you have a strong enough army in your hands, they would not dare to disobey. But now, it's difficult!" Wanyan Xun is much smarter than Han Zhongwei in this regard. He is the head of a thousand households and implements dual governance of Meng'an Mouke and the government in the Jin Dynasty, but the people under his command have always only recognized their own orders. If the government wants to issue any orders, it must first pass itself.

"He is the prefect of Heicheng, and this is his duty. You said I wouldn't let Ma Wanli collect taxes, would you collect it for me?" Han Zhongwei didn't think there was anything wrong. Whether he could collect it was a problem of ability, and whether he dared to collect it was a problem of loyalty. This time he could take this opportunity to see Ma Wanli again.

"If you dare to give me three hundred cavalry, I will flatten those tribes, and you are not missing a single son Wanyan Xun suddenly laughed and said, "To deal with such tribes, they can only suffer a little, and they will surrender to you, otherwise it will be useless to just say nothing about practice."

"Three Hundred Iron Cavalry? Are you going to rob or rob? Now, my people are scared by you, who will I ask for reason?" Han Zhongwei shouted. Wanyan Sen could think of such an idea. They started their business by this.

"That's up to the master's opinion?" Xiao Wanyan Xun really wants to hear what his master has.

"There is a saying in the military tactics. It is the best for the soldiers who defeat others without fighting." Han Zhongwei pretended to be profound.

"Master, please tell me that Wanyan Xun really wants to see how he defeated others without fighting.

"The reason for this is not enough to be understood by outsiders. Han Zhongwei shook his head. He only realized today that he had three tribes and the people outside the city were not directly under him. Before he had enough information, he knew that any decision was futile.

"Master, I am not an outsider, I am your apprentice. Besides, didn't you let me study hard with you for two years? Why did you exclude me when you are serious?" Wanyan Xun greatly defeated Han Zhongwei's army. This time he was not a quarrel but arguing with reason, and he could not refute it.

"Will you be my apprentice at this time? Okay, let's go back and wait first, and then I will take you to see Han Zhongwei for a long time.

Although Wanyan Xun was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to leave in disappointment. He could really see how Han Zhongwei asked the three tribes to pay taxes on their own initiative. If Han Zhongwei had just said nothing but practiced before, then now he would be the real sign.

Now what Han Zhongwei needs most is intelligence. As the director of the public security bureau, Ding Chuan was called to the mansion by Han Zhongwei overnight. Before asking Ma Wanli, he had to obtain first-hand information from Ding Chuan. "There are indeed three Dangxiang tribes in Heicheng, namely the Yeli tribe, the Heishan tribe and the Heishui tribe. Each tribe has less than 20,000 people. The people from these tribes are not all gathered together, but are scattered to large and small pastures.

.Ding Chuan knew these small tribes in Heicheng very well and did not stop talking about them. He could introduce simple situations, but it was not enough to fully grasp the information of these tribes.

"Ding Chuan, if I remember correctly, the chiefs of these tribes have never met me since this marquis took office, right? Han Zhongwei asked, now he is Kehou of Heicheng, and in name these tribes are also their own people. But now his own people ignore him, which is a challenge to himself.

"It is true that Ding Chuan looked at Han Zhongwei and found that the Marquis was very serious. He thought to himself, could these tribes be considered Marquis? If there were many, then this tribe would use more than 10,000 people, but when it comes to fighting, Ding Chuan believes that no one can beat Marquis.

"Damn, this is simply not giving me face. Han Zhongwei said angrily. Although he looked confident in front of Wanyan Xun, he actually knew that this matter was really troublesome. Without knowing the enemy, you must not act rashly.

Ding "I can't interfere. There are tens of thousands of people in those tribes, among which the middle-aged men are more than 40%, and there are 30% of the males. They all have been riding on their backs since childhood, and everyone is an excellent soldier. If there is a war, they can arm 70% of the males as soldiers at any time.

Their strength was there, and with the marquis's escorts of less than a thousand guards in their hands, they certainly could not give face. But Ding Chuan did not dare to say this. Originally, the marquis had not asked about these things. He thought Han Zhongwei had been familiar with them for a long time, and today he realized that the marquis had a dark look at things outside the city. But Ding Chuan had a blind faith in Han Zhongwei. There was nothing in the world that the marquis could not do.

Besides, Ding Chuan's trip was worthy tonight. He learned a new Mandarin from Han Zhongwei: "Damn it". The ancients' vocabulary was not as rich as the era in which Han Zhongwei lived in later generations. Even if there were not many words to curse people, they were only like: "Not human, but also beasts." "Stupid as a pig or a dog, "corrupt scholar, ugly scholar, and disciple", "You are so rascal. You are like bastards, bastards, and bastards have not been discovered yet, but they are occasionally quoted by Han Zhongwei and slowly began to spread.

"Ding Chuan, you should have information about Yeli, Hei Shui, and Heishan in your hand. I'll send it to me immediately." Han Zhongwei calmed down, and now his eyes were dark. Before there was enough information, he could only swallow his anger.

The leader of Yeli's tribe was named Li Yong, and his surname was Tuotao. Because his ancestors helped Li Yuanhao establish the Daxia, he was given the surname Li. Heishui and Heishan tribe leaders were all named Tuotao. The chief of the Heishui tribe was named Tuotao Wanda. The chief of the Heishan tribe was named Tuotao. These three tribes were concentrated in the southwest of Heicheng, where the grass was fertile and the land was beautiful, which was the most suitable for these tribes that made a living by grazing.

department

Among the three tribes, the Yeli tribe has the largest, with nearly 20,000 people. A large population means the greatest strength. The Yeli tribe occupies the most fertile grassland in the southwest of Heicheng area. The Hei River Tribe is close to Xishui Mansion west of Heicheng, and the Heishan tribe is closest to Heicheng. Since the Yeli tribe has a large population and a large area of ​​land, the number of cattle, horses and sheep is also the largest. However, the Yeli tribe pays the least tax. The tax amount of the three tribes is always converted into military horses, among which the Hei River and Heishan tribes need to pay 2,000 war horses every year. However, the Yeli tribe only needs to pay 1,500 war horses a year. Don’t just look at only 500 war horses missing. Year after year, the Yeli tribe was originally slightly inferior to Hei River and Heishan tribes, but now the Hei River and Heishan tribes can be comparable to Yelida.

"Li Yong, Tuota Wanda, Tuota Song's personality? What are the people? What is the relationship between the three tribes?" Han Zhongwei quickly clarified the key point.

I

"I'll go back and find out Ding Chuan immediately, and his face turned red. Ding." After all, he is not from Xixia, and he is not proficient in Dangxiang's language. Most of his subordinates are brothers from Heifengzhai. Most of them can understand Jurchens, but they are not proficient in authentic Dangxiang's speech. In recent decades, although Daxia has vigorously advocated Confucianism and promoted Chinese, it has not been well implemented in those orthodox tribes. They still live the life of orthodox people.

Fortunately, Ding Chuan also has 700 joint defense team members and hundreds of eyeliners. These people are all people who have lived in Heicheng for a long time. They are basically Dangxiang people. Even among these people, there are those who originally came out of those three tribes! Many of them have become eyeliners of the public security bureau. They are in the tribe without any animals. If they stay in the tribe, they can only become servants or even slaves, and some of them will run to Heicheng. This makes Ding Chuan feel like a treasure. He immediately finds these people. After one-on-one inquiry, the information of the leaders of the three tribes became more and more abundant. After the information provided by everyone, Ding Chuan also had an intuitive impression of these three people. Ding Chuan really admired the Marquis. If the Marquis had not given the idea of ​​the joint defense team and the eyeliner for himself, it would be really troublesome to collect information from these three tribes at once.

The three tribes of Yeli, Heishui and Heishan have a history of hundreds of years. They have lived here before the founding of the Daxia Kingdom. The chiefs of each tribe are now in power for more than ten years, which allows outsiders to make a more accurate judgment of them. Even if there is a small deviation, they will not deviate too far.

Moreover, after obtaining this information, Ding Chuan sent people to intervene in these three tribes in various identities to verify the accuracy of the information. Nowadays, people do not have the concept of confidentiality, and the people sent by Ding Chuan also took some locals with their subordinates. After several deliberate intercourses, they quickly got a lot of news.

Because of this operation, Lin Rufeng from the Municipal Dynamics Department of the Public Security Bureau added another task. In addition to paying close attention to the city, he should also pay attention to the three tribes. Lin Rufeng even quickly sent capable people to mix in these tribes. If any abnormal movements occur in these tribes in the future, Han Zhongwei will be able to get the most accurate news as soon as possible.
