Chapter 241

Both Zhang Hao's personal guards and Tatar Prince Tuoketuo's personal guards drew their weapons. Tuoketuo looked at Zhang Hao's personal guards, and then looked behind him,

He knew Zhang Hao, and last year the Tatars were defeated twice in the capital. Zhang Hao led troops to fight. He heard that he was very young, but now, if he had a conflict with him here, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

"Put down your weapon!" Tuoketuo ordered his personal guards to put down their weapons at this moment. Those personal guards heard it, hesitated for a moment, and put down their weapons. Zhang Hao's personal guards waved, and those personal guards also retracted their weapons.

"To see our young master, you can only go alone, you can't bring a weapon, don't say you are a Tatar prince, you are a Tatar king, and this is the same rule!" The guard stared at Tuoketuo and said,
Tuoketuo held back, handed over his weapon to his subordinates, then stared at the guard, and walked straight in. The two guards at the door accompanied him in,
Soon, we arrived at the living room.

"Master, the Tatar prince has arrived!" one of the guards said.

"Oh! Come here, please sit down, have you eaten yet?" Zhang Hao asked very accommodatingly.

"Marquis Lu An, why are our Tatar merchants outside? Why? Isn't there a horse market?" Tuoketuo shouted to Zhang Hao excitedly.

"Are you questioning me?" Zhang Hao's face darkened at this moment, staring at Tuoketuo and asked.

"You, you need to give us an explanation!" Tuoketuo suppressed his anger and said to Zhang Hao.

"Explain what? Did I say that the horse market is closed? In the future, all transactions will be completed outside the city, and I will build a market outside the city! When the time comes, the goods entering and leaving the city will need to pay taxes? I asked The officials went to deal with it, didn't they tell you?" Zhang Hao sat there, looked at Tuoketuo and asked.

"I said it, but before!"

"Before, when I was here, I had to follow my rules. I said it was outside the city, just outside the city. What's your opinion? Where does the transaction matter? Do I not let them trade? I said Now, only goods can enter Xuanhua City, people are not allowed, how clearly do I need to explain?" Zhang Hao stared at Tuoketuo and continued to question.

"I!"

"Can you? Can you cancel it? It was you who asked to open the horse market, and we opened it. What's the matter, do you still have to listen to your Tatars?" Zhang Hao continued to stare at Tuoketuo and questioned.

"Okay, just!"

"Let's do it if you want. You can appease your businessmen yourself. If you dare to attack Daming's defenders, I can order them to be wiped out!" Zhang Hao said while staring at Tuoketuo.

Tuoketuo heard it, took a deep breath, and then said with a sigh: "Yes!"

"Then do it!" Zhang Hao continued to eat porridge as he said,
Tuoketuo stared at Zhang Hao, turned around and left.

Zhang Hao sat there and ate by himself. After finishing eating, he wiped his mouth and went out again.

And Sun Qihai started to transport firewood to the outside of the city, and needed to complete the transaction outside the city, and some merchants, who wanted to buy Tatar cattle and sheep, wool and other furs, could only go quickly to the place outside the city. At the gate of the city, the Ministry of Accounting has set up an area for special registration. After all goods enter the city, they need to stop in the designated area. The Ministry of Accounting not only needs to verify the transaction, but also counts the quantity.

"What, build it outside the city? Collect taxes at the gate?" Liu Wu heard it and looked at his subordinates in surprise.

"Yes, they have already done it here. Our domestic merchants have gone out to buy now, and some merchants have also gone out with samples of the goods. Even if they bring samples out, they still need to pay taxes!" A general came to Liu Wu's side and said.

"Isn't this going to cut off our money? To collect taxes at the gate of the city?" Liu Wu said anxiously upon hearing this.

"My lord, now those merchants have no choice but to go out of the city if they want to sell the goods. They need to bring the transaction slip out. How much is the transaction, and they need to be stamped by the household department. If the final shipment does not match the list, it will be confiscated. All the goods, my lord, in this case, everyone will lose!" The general said immediately,
Many of the merchants in the city are related to those generals. Without the consent of those generals, who can set up shops here? This is an important military town, and everything is decided by the two chief soldiers. Zhang Hao has the final say, and Zhang Hao is the admiral.

"Okay, I'll go find Zongbing Yu!" Liu Wu also said angrily at the moment. Zhang Hao just came over and moved their interests. Thinking about it, he was not convinced.

Soon, Liu Wu arrived at Yu Wanpeng's side, and of course Yu Wanpeng also knew the news.

"What does Zhang Manzi mean? This is Xuanhua, not the capital city. Does he want to cover the sky with one hand?" Liu Wu sat down, looked at Yu Wanpeng angrily and asked.

"He is the admiral and the person in charge of the horse market. If he wants to do this, what else can we do? Can we resist?" Yu Wanpeng asked Liu Wu.

"Yu Zongbing, if he does this, it will be a huge loss for us. In the past, although we didn't open the horse market, we could still sell goods, and we could still make money. But now, if he does this, we What about those shops?" Liu Wu said anxiously.

"Let's talk about it after he's gone, don't say I didn't remind you, don't let him confront him, Qiu Luan, do you remember? Our previous governor was beaten to death by him with a hammer. , ransacked the house!" Yu Wanpeng looked at Liu Wu and said with a wry smile.

"I still don't believe it, this is Xuanhua!"

"Don't forget, he brought [-] imperial guards, and Jin Yiwei, unless you want to rebel, otherwise, don't confront him, or you will be hammered to death, and your death is in vain!" Yu Wanpeng stared at Liu Wu continued to warn that Liu Wu was still not convinced.

"You, a brat, are you so afraid of him?" Liu Wu looked at Yu Wanpeng very puzzled and asked.

"He is a brat, but there are eighty officials who died at his hands. The three cabinet ministers are going to avoid him. Do you think he is so easy-going! Calm down!" Yu Wan Peng looked at Liu Wu and continued to warn.

"Hey! I'm still not convinced!" Sitting there, Liu Wu turned his head and said, they all knew that Zhang Hao wouldn't stay here for long, but now Zhang Hao made him uncomfortable, and he didn't want to bear it.
At this time, a soldier outside came in and announced: "My lord, the admiral has arrived!"

"Oh, come on, let's go to meet him!" Yu Wanpeng heard it, looked at Liu Wu, and immediately walked outside.

And Zhang Hao also slowly went up to Zhenshuo Tower, where he could see the situation outside the city, and Zhang Hao's office was also here, he was the admiral, of course he had to watch the situation of the whole city here.

"I've seen Lord Admiral, but do you need a little bit?" Yu Wanpeng came to Zhang Hao, knelt down on one knee, and asked with cupped hands.

"What are you doing at Dianmao? I don't want to fight. I'm still relieved of the troops you two are training!" Zhang Hao waved his hand to signal them to get up, and found Liu Wu's complexion was wrong.

"Liu Zongbing, what's the matter? You don't look well, do you feel unwell? You can go back to rest. I have nothing to do. I just want to see where I work!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Wu.

"It's a little uncomfortable, but it's okay!" Liu Wu said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Well, just pay attention to yourself, and go back if you feel uncomfortable. There is no Tatar now, so there is no need for so many people to stare!" Zhang Hao nodded and continued to walk forward.

"My lord, we have arranged your office room, it's right inside!" Yu Wanpeng immediately arrived in front of Zhang Hao, leading the way and said,

I took Zhang Hao to the office room, where I could see the situation outside the city, and I could also see the situation inside the city, and all the things inside were new.

"Well, that's good, here it is. From today onwards, I will handle official business here!" Zhang Hao stood outside the west corridor, watching the transactions outside the city.

"My lord, why did you let them trade outside the city?" Yu Wanpeng looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"This horse market will become bigger and bigger in the future, and there will be more and more Tatars. After a long time, we will be paralyzed. Once the Tatars want to attack the city, there will be thousands of Tatar soldiers hiding in the city. What should we do if we cooperate inside and outside? Xuanhua City can still be defended. Once Xuanhua City is opened, the Tatar army will attack the capital again! So it is best to trade outside!" Zhang Hao stood there and said to Yu Wanpeng .

"Oh, the general is very considerate, I admire you!" Yu Wanpeng said flatteringly.

"Let's not talk about this, I don't care about the army. Although I am an admiral, you also know in your heart that I won't stay here for long, and I don't want to do things that attract people's attention. I don't care about the horse market. No idea what to do before,
From today on, don't make any plans for this horse market. If you are short of money, come to me. If you want to make money, come to me. If you want to smuggle out, don't let me know. If I know, go from top to bottom! " Zhang Hao said and returned to his seat and sat down.

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and Yu Wanpeng still laughed along with him, but Liu Wu's face was very ugly.

"It's not easy for the soldiers of the frontier army. They are exposed to the wind and the sun every day, and they don't have much money. I understand that I don't have much money. I don't ask. If the army is not well trained, the emperor will punish you. If you are short of money, it's easy to say." , find me, we can make money together, it’s okay!" Zhang Hao sat there and continued.

"Well, I wonder if the admiral has good business?" Yu Wanpeng looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and asked.

"Of course! However, I am very busy these days and have no time to do this. After a while, let's talk together!" Zhang Hao looked at them with a smile and said, but Liu Wu was disdainful in his heart.
