Chapter 35
Zhao Xingde was a little careful, and only heard the man behind him say, "Most of our land taxes belong to the military prefectures and counties. If the court does not promote industry and commerce, wouldn't the treasury be empty?" His voice was quite loud, and even the two Song Dynasty scholars in the middle noticed him. The thin black and thin scholar said angrily: "Is this the reason why the disabled people are doing it?"
The man sneered and retorted: "The Chamber of Commerce itself is autonomous, and the contract is signed by the refugees themselves. The four words "stop the remnants of the people" may not fall into the court."
The people around him looked at this side. Zhao Xingde took two steps slightly to the side and gave up the person behind him who spoke out of doubt. The man had a round face and thick eyebrows, a short beard on his lips, and the emblem of the captain on his military robe and chest. Although he was not tall, his eyes were as sharp as a knife when he looked around, which impressed everyone.
"Who is this?" Zhao Xingde heard the people around him whispering. "Captain Yu of the Huguo Mansion." "Oh, it turns out that this person is Yu Zangyun." Yu Zangyun's most prestigious captain in the Huguo Mansion, and the Guandong Juzi actually led him out, and more people gathered around him.
Yu Zangyun said in a deep voice: "The Chamber of Commerce Autonomy to promote industry and commerce is a national policy established by the founding of the country. How can we make a light change? Chang'an alone is only a hundred miles away, and the taxes issued by dozens of prefectures and counties are worth dozens of prefectures and counties. The commercial taxes and land taxes are different from the country, and they are increasing every year. The commercial taxes of the Guanzhong Workshop are now no less than tens of millions of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunk
At the beginning, there were more people who tended to be the Kanto scholar. When Yu Zangyun talked about taxes, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Taxes are a major national event and cannot be approved by the State Guardian. Even the emperor cannot increase taxes at will. If the court officials advocated tax increases, don't risk the sharp drop in reputation. The reduction of military pay and titles for no reason is even more abusing the world. Yu Zangyun talked about the internal affairs of the Xia Kingdom, and the two Kanto scholars didn't know how to refute him.
At this time, someone next to him said, "Is this sensational to the point of Yu's words?" Zhao Xingde turned his head and looked at him, but he was another man wearing the robe of the captain. His face was slightly high in cheekbones and his eyes were bright as torches, but he gave people warmth. With a strong accent from the River, he continued, "If the Guanzhong Workshop had not imprisoned a large number of workers and disciples, the River would not have been so short of people. Those refugees in Guandong broke free from the shackles and went to the River, the Mobei, whether they were farming, working, or doing business, would have to pay taxes. It would not be like you said?"
Everyone whispered again, let Zhao Xingde know that this person was also a famous lieutenant named Kang Deming. Although he was a son of the royal family of Kang Kingdom, he was promoted to the lieutenant in the army with his own skills and vaguely installed the leader of the lieutenant in the Huguo Mansion.
Yu Zangyun's face slightly darkened and bowed, "As far as I know, the workshop staff employs hundreds of workers and the commercial tax paid is more than the land taxes of hundreds of Yin households. If intervention is imposed, hundreds of thousands of workers and disciples will be calculated, the difference in the taxes is not small. Since Kaowei Kang said so, can Hezhong Prefecture County take responsibility?"
When everyone saw Kang Deming and Yu Zangyun argue, they whispered. Someone next to Zhao Xingde whispered: "These Kwantung workers and disciples, both of them are not able to do anything. Even if they are used as cows and horses by the workshop, they will not be damaged by the country." Another person laughed: "That's right, only hundreds of thousands of people are gone, and it is worth the two of them to argue for a long time."
Zhao Xingde turned his head and saw that the two of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes but frivolously. He took a breath and whispered: "Today, someone sat on the dangerous rock, but he actually thought it was as safe as Mount Tai. It was a joke."
The two men heard his sarcastic words and their expressions changed drastically. When they turned around, Zhao Xingde looked calm and said to himself: "The prisoners in Mount Li in the Qin Dynasty could still destroy Zhou Zhang, Tian Zang, and Chen She, and force the heroes from Shandong to stop and make the overlords fear. In my opinion, if the hundreds of thousands of workers in Guanzhong were trained, they would be strong soldiers who were hard-working and desperate to eliminate the shameless people, just like native chickens and dogs."
Zhao Xingde's voice was not loud, but Yu Zangyun happened to hear it. While he was refuting with Kang Deming, he still had a sense of consciousness. He looked at Zhao Xingde deeply, as if he wanted to remember his appearance. The two men's faces turned from blue to white, but they couldn't figure out his background. They were bored and had to go by themselves.
At this time, the two scholars from the Song Dynasty were slight and were squeezed aside, standing alone in the crowd, looking quite helpless. Seeing this, Li Rui took Zhao Xingde over and bowed to them, "Brother Wang, Brother Wu." It turned out that he and these two knew each other.
Seeing Li Rui and Zhao Xingde approaching, they seemed very friendly. The black and thin man bowed politely, "I am Wu Yue, with the name Nanying." The white-faced man bowed, "Wang Zhong, a native of Guandong, and a master of Cao," Zhao Xingde has been in the army for three years, and his expression and behavior are different from before. Wang Zhong called himself a Kanto native, and obviously regarded Zhao De as a Xia. Li Rui introduced, "Brother Wang is the leader of Chang'an Dong Human Resources and Social Security." He also said, "Brother Wu is also a talented person in Dong Human Resources and Social Security."
Zhao Xingde bowed and said, "I am Zhao De, the word "curd" is Xingzhi." He understood in his heart that Li Rui pointed out the identities of the two. The more polite Li Rui was, the more he had a shallow relationship with these two. In this way, it would be inconvenient to have a deep conversation, and he could not tell him the original identity.
Li Rui also smiled and said, "Xingzhi is also from Guandong, the famous female bachelor of Wenci Academy and the husband of Mrs. Zhao." Zhao Xingde smiled unconsciously. He didn't expect that he would be introduced like this day. He felt a little surprised. He was responsible for the bachelor of Wenci Academy and never heard Ruoxue mention it. He shook his head slightly. After three years of separation, there are still many new changes that need to be recognized.
Wang Zhong and Wu Yue looked at Zhao Xingde and suddenly became strange. Both of them knew that Mrs. Zhao was a reckless man who joined the army. They were not worth it during normal conversations. When they saw each other today, they did not seem to be what they imagined. However, with this prejudice in hand, they looked a little strange when they talked to Zhao Xingde and didn't talk so much.
Seeing this, Zhao Xingde was not offended, so he stood aside with a smile and listened to Li Rui talking to the two of them. At this time, everyone next to him was paying attention to Yu Zangyun and Kang Deming's argument, but instead pushed them aside. Li Rui was quite tactful and led the three of them to the side. Wang Zhong and Wu Yue originally wanted to impress the officials of the five prefectures of Xia in Zheng Xiangtang, but no one paid much attention to them, so he followed Li Rui to avoid a corner. Without talking to Zhao Xingde, the two began to lobby Li Rui to jointly sign in the letter of the Dong Human Resources and Social Security.
Zhao Xingde listened to them talking about the shortcomings of the workshop, but did not say how to deal with the aftermath, and asked: "Dongren Society wrote a letter to express his feelings, is there any specific strategy?"
Wang Zhong replied: "Please prohibit the Prime Minister's Office from luring people into laborers. There are hundreds of thousands of laborers. The road-road masters should be placed by Cao Tuo." His eyes still looked at Li Rui. He thought that Zhao De was just a reckless man who went to fight. Even if he had read poetry and books, his art and elegance had no effect on such political affairs, and it would be difficult to have any high opinion of him. He only saw that he was Li Rui's friend, so it was difficult to refute his face. Zhao Xingde nodded when he saw this, but he knew his tact and did not speak anymore. His main thoughts were listening to Yu Zangyun and Kang Deming being there. Seeing this, Wu Yue cast an apologetic look at him. Zhao Xingde only smiled slightly and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
Yu Zangyun said: "Our dynasty is prosperous. Workshops in various places have millions of kilograms of iron, and cloth is often 10,000 pieces. The army in the previous period went out to the frontier. The logistics department supplemented military supplies in Chang'an, such as cloth, bows, crossbows, arrows, swords and guns. In the morning, they bought them all in the afternoon, and the goods were sent to various military camps. If the Chang'an workshop went bankrupt, even if the national treasury had money, where did these supplies come from?" He paused and smiled, "Is the workshop in the river OK?"
The scale of workshops in various parts of Guanzhong is far greater than that of rivers. Just like arrows, they are divided into dozens of processes. Each workshop is only responsible for one to several channels, and the middle is unique with the help of a well-connected canal. There are also merchants who open workshops imitate the process of the Ordnance Department and divide the processes they are responsible for into dozens of simple actions. Using machines that use hydraulic and animal power, greatly improving efficiency.
Kang Deming sneered: "Is the scale of Guanzhong workshops born like this? Isn't it a result of squeezing the blood and sweat of Guandong workers as the two said just now. If this disadvantage is eliminated, the workshops in Hezhong and Shu will naturally be replaced by them. Only good merchants in Guanzhong will have more opportunities."
However, he lost his confidence in what he said. The river was not as dense as Guanzhong, and it was close to the newly opened territory. Even if the children of Yinhu could not inherit the land, they would go to the border to receive land. In big cities like Samarkand, residents were mainly engaged in business, and most of the workshops made rare jewelry and other things. Even if the Ordnance Department built many workshops for military supplies, they could only meet the needs of the garrison in the Hezhong themselves. Unlike Guanzhong Workshop, which could meet the needs of the northern Mobei, Tubo, and even the western Hexi of Longyou.
Yu Zangyun smiled and said, "If this is true, I will wait and see." He did not expect Kant of the country to suddenly interfere. He was not prepared enough and secretly asked. Next time he brought taxes and material resources from both governments, he would make this person speechless.
The two of them were also colleagues of the National Guardian Government, so they naturally could not compete in Zheng Xiangtang to make their faces flushed. Seeing that the two lieutenants returned, the people dispersed and felt deeply moved.
At this time, under the persuasion of Wang Zhong and Wu Yue, Li Rui finally agreed to jointly sign the letter of the letter. The two of them spoke dryly, but they said goodbye with a happy expression. They heard that Wu Yue said they would visit the wife of the prime minister who was also from Luoyang.
When he walked to a place where no one was around, Li Rui laughed and said, "Yuan Zhi finally came back. He didn't have to go out to fight this time. He might as well retire from the army and come to the scholar's mansion. You and his wife are both nobles, which is also a good story." Zhao Xingde shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "People are in the army, and they have to be subdued. The five-year service period must be completed." Despite this, his heart was actually a little different. He was quite upset about this scene in the Zheng Prime Minister's Mansion, but he missed his time in the army.
The two of them talked about their own affairs over the past three years. When Zhao Xingde heard that Li Rui had been in the Scholar's Mansion for three years, he lived in caves for many years, and even rarely went down the mountain. He advised him to take care of his health and seek true knowledge. Although he should not leave day and night, he should not be isolated from the world and walk around frequently. Li Rui smiled and said, "It has been three months since he went down the mountain. Why not do this? Brother Zhao is the decision and let me taste the skills of my sister-in-law's wife."
