The daily life of Dali Siqing

Five days later, the elite of the Dali Temple's Anti-Theft Division led by Ye Jianhan also arrived at the Tiance Army camp.

But Yang Qingyuan was not in a hurry to set off, he had to add another layer of insurance for this matter.

"Minmin! These days in Tiance Army, they didn't neglect you!"

As a hostage in the transaction between the two parties, Princess Shaomin of Prince Liang's Mansion has been under house arrest by Yang Qingyuan in the Tiance military camp.

According to Yang Qingyuan's original plan, he would be placed under house arrest in Da Zhou under various pretexts, which would make King Liang throw his hands at him.

But now the plan can't keep up with the change.

According to Uncle Liu's memory and Yang Qingyuan's rough calculation, the location of Zhenhu City is likely to be in the buffer zone between Dagan and Dazhou, or even within Dagan territory.

This is a very important problem. If he wants to plot a net in the territory of Daqian, he must get the support of powerful personnel in Daqian.

But now Yang Qingyuan treats Daqian like a thorn in his back, like a thorn in his throat.

Not to mention supporting him, if the high-level executives don't kill him, it's considered morally noble!

So this wave depends on Zhao Min.

His father, Liang Wang Chahan Timur, is currently the most powerful minister in Dagan, holding nearly [-]% of the military power in Dagan.

Now it is King Liang who is confronting Tiance Army at the border.

When Yang Qingyuan led a portion of the Tiance Army to the south that day, it was an agreement reached with King Liang.

The two sides are cooperating in struggle and fighting in cooperation.

King Liang needs the threat of the Tiance Army to ensure his status in Dagan, and at the same time, he also hopes to get some support from Dazhou to gain partial independence and self-government.

The two sides reached an agreement on mutual market before, so that the Wokuotai Khanate controlled by King Liang was economically enough to compete with the Dagan Dynasty, and it could also gain its due voice among the four Khanates.

But that's not enough. After all, King Liang is not a direct descendant of the Jin family. It is not right to hold the name of the Okuotai Khanate, and his words are not smooth.

And Zhao Min's ambition is more than that!
Who said that the seat of the Great Khan can only be taken by the direct blood of the Jin family? !It's not a bad idea for King Liang to fight in all directions and sit in this seat!

Zhao Min has ambitions, Yang Qingyuan wants to take advantage of Zhao Min's ambitions, Zhao Min wants to be used like this...

Hence today's conversation.

"Master, why do you think of caring about me!? You have been back in Tiance Army for six days, and it's the first time you came to see me. You thought Master was going to put me under house arrest!"

Yang Qingyuan rubbed his nose, yes, that's what he thought so, you're not wrong at all.

"That's right, Miss Princess, I'm not a rich and honorable man like you. I can be supported by the court every day if I don't do anything. I get a salary from the court. If I don't work honestly and do errands, you can send me a salary." Salary!?"

"Okay!" Zhao Minming smiled brightly, "If you are willing to work for my Prince Liang Mansion, I will immediately increase your salary a hundred times, and part of the army under my father's command has been handed over to you to command. In the entire Prince Liang Mansion, You are the third person after me and my father."

(Wang Baobao: "...Meow meow? Did I really pick it up?")
Yang Qingyuan said angrily, "How much do you need to multiply by a hundred times!?"

Dali Temple Qingzheng is the third grade, with a monthly salary of 35 stones and 15 taels of silver.

The annual salary is 420 stones and 180 taels of silver.

According to the price of rice in Dazhou, four hundred shi is worth a hundred taels.Counting Yang Qingyuan's salary for one year, it was about three hundred taels, and Zhao Min's salary was increased by a hundred times, that is, 3 taels a year. This figure is really not a big sum for the wealthy Khanate Liang Wangfu.

"You want to send me away for 3 taels?!" Yang Qingyuan half-jokingly said.

If he is really willing to take refuge in Daqian, let alone 3 taels, even 300 million taels, Emperor Qian can afford it.

Big work is not a big week, the treasury and internal funds are clearly divided.

Emperor Qian is not only the emperor of Dagan, but also the Khan of the grassland. The wealth on the grassland belongs to him legally.

Emperor Qian is much richer than Emperor Zhou!

Emperor Zhou had a lot of income from internal funds, but the country suffered from natural disasters in the past two years, so he took money from internal funds to subsidize the state treasury from time to time.

In addition, the repair of canals and the construction of water conservancy, all of which require money.

Therefore, in the internal funds of Emperor Zhou, there were often situations where 10 taels of silver could not be collected. It was not until Yang Qingyuan rectified the water transportation and cracked down on smuggling that he established the Tiandi Bank, and the economic situation of Emperor Zhou improved.

But Emperor Qian is different, the taxation of Dagan has always been extremely high.

The tax system used by Dagan is considered special. Although the small tax (poll tax) and grain tax in the actual sense are not too high, there are many other exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, and the actual tax rate is frighteningly high.

It stands to reason that this kind of taxation is enough to make the people unable to live, but they have set up a new institution-Wotuosuo.

"Wotuo" originated from the Turkic language, which means partnership. During the period of the Dagan Khanate, it refers to the government and merchants who engaged in usury. From the beginning of the Great Khan, the Yuan and Mongolian nobles entrusted businessmen who were good at management to operate commerce and lend money, earning high interest.The usury they issued was called "Wotuoqian".

Youwotusuo was controlled by the imperial court and lent money to ordinary people who could not pay taxes. At the same time, the repayment period could be extended appropriately. The longer the repayment period, the higher the interest.

The advantage is that ordinary people do not need to pay it all at once, but can return it in installments.

Now, the common people can accept it, and the imperial court also benefits.

The people at the bottom are a kind of contented animals, as long as they can live on, they will not make chaos, so even if they have to repay a loan to the court every month, the amount of this money is very subtle, and it is within the range that the common people can bear Guilty, but it will not make it too easy for them.

But as long as they can survive, the people at the bottom will work hard to survive.

Does this method look familiar? On this basis, it cooperates with the theory of salt and iron in the Han Dynasty—that is, turning something that has to be bought into a royal monopoly. Of course, this kind of thing that has to be bought is also invisible, not like table salt. Similarly, if you don’t eat it, it will harm your body, but this kind of thing will affect your social life.

If you don't want to be bad and want to continue living in society, then you must buy it.

In this way, relatively mild means will be used to burden the people with a huge debt.But it also made the common people see hope and pressure.

In this way, ordinary people will not think wildly, and work and live in a down-to-earth manner.

This kind of policy method can make the treasury abundant, which is one of the reasons why Emperor Qian is so rich now!

If the national treasury is sufficient, a large-scale army can be formed and equipped, and a large-scale military industry can be developed.

This is why Dagan's economy is far inferior to Dazhou's and the people's life is not good, but Dagan's army has not been left behind, and even repeatedly suppressed Dazhou in terms of military strength.

Dazhou has a strong military and can withstand the pressure of Dagan, but other small countries around Dagan will do.

When being plundered by Dagan's powerful army, it is completely unable to resist, so Dagan can plunder the wealth of other countries to feed back Dagan, forming a relatively virtuous circle.

However, this method is too advanced and requires precise control of this threshold, and it is easy to exhaust the fish if you are not careful.

There may be no problems in the short term, but every ten years or so, various problems will erupt. At that time, the people will not be able to survive, and the country is in danger of collapse.For example, the United States from 1929 to 1932 in later generations.

Back to the point.

Seeing that Yang Qingyuan was unmoved, Zhao Min teased him.

"Master, you are not clean! As for the fan bone of Ladi purple flower Xiangfei bamboo in your hand, according to your salary, I am afraid that you will have to eat or drink for three years before you can afford it?!"

"Shh!"

Yang Qingyuan folded the fan and tapped Zhao Min lightly on the head.

"What are you talking about?! Is your master the kind of person who takes bribes?!"

Yang Qingyuan is not only Zhengqing of Dali Temple and Marquis of Wuxiang, but also the second largest shareholder and member of the board of directors of Zhenwu Group; Dazhou Tiandi Bank is the third largest individual shareholder and supervisor.

Even if he didn't have these identities, just relying on Yang Qingyuan's Hanlin bachelor degree, his status as the second place in the imperial examination, coupled with his unrivaled thin gold body, he could earn a lot of money.

Runbi is one of the legitimate incomes of Dazhou officials.

Although Emperor Zhou raised the monthly salaries of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was after all a system established by the late emperor and cannot be greatly changed. The monthly salaries of officials are not enough to maintain a decent appearance. Therefore, we have no objection to behaviors such as moistening pens and burning fire. Don't overdo it, just form a government.

"This is a gift given to my teacher when I made a fan for my teacher and others."

That's right, that friend is the young prince of the Duke of Ying's mansion, Feng Qian and Feng Kezhi.

"Okay, let's get down to business! Do you want to make a deal!?"

Hearing about the business, Zhao Min's eyes lit up. The previous agreement between the two parties was enough to benefit the Wokuotai Khanate a lot. Now it's time for business again!Zhao Min was naturally happy to accept it.

"Master, please speak!"

"In this Gobi, there is a Zhenhu City, and a lot of treasures are buried near it. Now there are a group of people who want to go to grab the treasure with Master. I need your father's help!"

Yang Qingyuan's words were so earnest and thoughtful, as if he was a good teacher.

"That's Master Master, what do you need my father to do?!"

Zhao Min is definitely not to be outdone by his acting skills, his beautiful eyes are like water, and his eyes are flowing. This is just like an obedient student who respects his master.

"I need you to write a letter, asking your father to stop any soldiers and horses that are transferred there from Dagan. If necessary, your father and brother will personally lead troops to intercept them!"

Yang Qingyuan predicted Gong Ziyu's arrangement first hand.

According to Mrs. Mingzhu, Gong Ziyu has cooperated with neighboring countries.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and since Emperor Taizu Gao, it has made the surrounding countries fear.

But fear is nothing but fear, in the eyes of the nations, the wealth of Great Zhou is still a piece of fat, extremely delicious.

With a powerful Zhou traitor like Gong Ziyu, they are naturally willing to cooperate.

So Yang Qingyuan made first-hand preparations in advance to control barbarians with barbarians.

After hearing the words, Zhao Min thought for a while and asked, "Then what can we get from Prince Liang's Mansion?"

In words, Zhao Min has already distinguished Liang Wangfu from Dagan, which is good news for Yang Qingyuan and Dazhou.

"I'll take out the treasures in it, let's add two to one to make five, you one and I nine!"

Zhao Min: "..."

"Master, don't fool me. Although this disciple is from Yuanmenggan, he likes the culture of the Han family. The addition of two to one makes five, which obviously means to divide equally."

"Don't be in a hurry, just listen, and come for the teacher."

Yang Qingyuan started the deception mode, "Actually, this treasure is shared by the teacher. This treasure is designated by the imperial court. After obtaining it, [-]% of it will be handed over to the state treasury and internal funds, so only [-]% will be left!"

Zhao Min nodded, "Shouldn't that be [-] to [-] percent?!"

"We are not the only ones who share the remaining [-]%. This treasure map was deciphered for my friends Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing, and they scored [-]%. I will do my best for my brothers and work hard for me through life and death. That's [-] percent. Then only [-] percent is left."

Yang Qingyuan expressed his helplessness with the classic little bear spreading his hands.

As the saying goes, asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the ground, [-]% is definitely not Yang Qingyuan's bottom line, and the specific share can be discussed!
"When necessary, my elder brother will personally lead the troops. My father has only one son. If something happens to him, what should my father do?! I have to pay more! I want [-]% from the Liang Palace. As compensation for my father's loss of his beloved son."

"..."

It is logically normal suddenly, but is there something wrong with this?

(Wang Baobao: "...you are right, there is indeed something wrong!")
But Yang Qingyuan didn't think too much about it, "Okay! That's the deal!"

In fact, his psychological price is [-]-[-]%.

At this moment, Tiance's troops are insufficient and unable to assist, so they can only rely on Prince Liang's Mansion, so even if Zhao Minzhen is really a lion, Yang Qingyuan will reluctantly agree.

But the strange thing is that Zhao Min should be able to see such a thing!

"Master should have noticed that you have taken advantage of this matter. Disciples can ask for more, but out of filial piety, Master took advantage of it."

"..."

There's nothing wrong with this, but Yang Qingyuan thinks the wording is a bit weird, so it's taking advantage of you.

And Zhao Min wanted to kill himself back then, that's too filial!

"Master, do you still remember that when you were negotiating in the Qianjun camp, you promised two things to your disciples."

Yang Qingyuan nodded, this was an additional condition for King Liang to send the Tiance Army south to support.

"Disciple, I want to ask Master to take action and kill someone!"

"...No!" Yang Qingyuan resolutely refused, "When we first agreed, we requested that this matter not violate chivalrous morality, not damage the reputation of Wudang and me, and not hinder the situation of the Great Zhou court."

"Murder and arson are great evils. As a teacher, it is impossible for you to use the knife in your hand to kill people for you. I refuse this condition!"

Yang Qingyuan is very principled in this matter.

For life, except for treating the enemy when he is in command, Yang Qingyuan in a normal state is extremely in awe.

Even when he was in charge of the Dali Temple and hunting down the great thieves, Yang Qingyuan seldom killed people.

Now Zhao Min is going to be a killer and take people's lives, which he absolutely cannot agree to.

"I haven't said yet, how does master know that killing this person will violate master's chivalrous morals?!" Zhao Min changed his usual playfulness and became serious.

"...What?! The person Minmin wants to kill is a person full of evil?!"

"It's not important to be full of evil, what's important is that this person wants to take Minmin's life!"
