Chapter 761 Qifang returns to Beijing

Qifang's eyes flickered for a moment, avoiding his hot gaze, hummed softly and said nothing more.

On the contrary, the guards following behind them burst into tears when they heard their words, and the one at the front was so excited that he couldn't help but take a half step forward, "My lord knows the truth, what our lady does is to benefit the country and the people, But there are always traitors who want to harm Miss.

During these days in the south, Miss almost died in Huangquan several times. It was the first time someone added poisonous weed powder to the dish. Fortunately, the servants discovered it in time.

The second time the lady went out, someone threw a stone the size of a bowl and almost hit the lady.besides."

"Shut up, there's no need to talk." Qi Fang said coldly, interrupting the follower, who was a grey-haired and bearded 50-year-old man, who should have started a family. Back then, Qi Rui was good at martial arts, and it was not enough to have a master at home Strange.

"Go on!" Li Xingzhou also said coldly, with murderous intent in his heart. He thought that there would be obstacles, but he didn't expect them to dare to act so boldly!

"Needless to say, it's nothing serious."

"Say!"

"Don't say it!"

"Say!"

"Don't say it!"

"."

The guard looked puzzled, whether to say or not to say.

"His Royal Highness has expected these things, why make such a fuss."

"Labor and capital slaughtered them! Exterminate them everywhere!" Li Xingzhou's face was full of hostility, and Qifang was not calm, a little panicked, and quickly grabbed him, his voice almost pleading.

"You are like this. You dare to do what others dare not, and you do what others do otherwise. Can't you tell the priorities now? The northern affairs are the big ones!

Regardless of your identity and prestige in the south, if you accidentally get stuck, the Northern Expedition will be hopeless.

But if you wait until your Northern Expedition is successful and your prestige is greatly increased before you sit on the throne, why worry about those jumping clowns! "

It was rare for Qi Fang to be anxious for a while, and Li Xingzhou's anger was slowly suppressed. He didn't understand what Qi Fang said, but just as she said, he was actually a rebellious person in his heart, and he would do what others wouldn't let him do. He dares what others dare not.

If the more people blocked him, the more people blocked him, the more he wished he could step on the blocked person and walk over.

But this time something is different, he can't be impulsive.
What he asked Qifang to do was actually very big. On the surface, it seemed calm, but in fact it was undercurrent.

To talk about this matter, it is necessary to clarify how much the restructuring of the Shibo Department is involved.

The restructuring of the new army seems to be vigorous and has a great impact. Many people know about it and talk about it, but it is actually not difficult and does not involve too many interests.

However, the restructuring of the Shibo Department seems to be quiet, few people pay attention to it, and almost no people talk about it. In fact, it involves a lot of interests, involving the interests of a large number of people, and there is a lot of resistance.

The imperial system is progressing little by little, and one of the key steps is that Zhao Kuangyin cut off the financial power of the Jiedushi.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, the warlords separatist regimes, all parties fought in chaos, endless killings, countless people tried hard to end the troubled times but failed, only Zhao Kuangyin saw the key at a glance. Jiedushi in power.

With the military, government, and finances in hand, isn't that the emperor of the land?As long as there is a little strength, who will not be tempted, no matter how good the words are, and who has a lot of power, who will not be tempted.

What Zhao Kuangyin did was to cut off the financial power in the three major powers of military, government, and finance in the hands of Jiedushi. As early as the middle and late Tang Dynasty, some people actually discovered the disadvantages of Jiedushi's tail that could not be shaken off, and tried every means to suppress Jiedushi.

It's just that they didn't see it as thoroughly as Zhao Kuangyin, and they all tried every means to reduce the military power of the Jiedushi. As a result, the Jiedushi still became bigger, and because of these actions, there was a rift between the Jiedushi and the central court, and finally lost control completely, forming the end of the Tang Dynasty. The place is big and the court is small, and then they simply tore off the fig leaf and entered a situation where Jiedu envoys fought.

Zhao Kuangyin, on the other hand, has a unique insight. He can see at a glance that Jiedu is powerful, and it is time to cut financial power. Without money, there is no way to raise troops, and it is impossible to maintain a strong army. Without an army, there is no deterrence, and political influence has declined rapidly.

The specific operation is to change the order of tax transfer. Before the Jiedushi collected taxes and then handed them over to the state, Zhao Kuangyin changed them to the state to collect taxes and then allocated funds to the Jiedushi.

Seemingly simple changes, instantly changed the overall situation.

The same is true of the Shibo Department today. In the past, there was a Shibo Department that collected customs duties and maintained its own operations. Now it has changed, and the taxes collected are unified across the country, and all of them are turned over to the imperial court.

The change here is that the link that can exploit the most loopholes is removed, which is exactly the same as what Zhao Kuangyin did at the beginning.

With such a change, people in the world can go to sea as long as they pay the prescribed taxes.But just like Zhao Kuangyin touched the cake of Jiedushi, Li Xingzhou's change also touched the cake of many people.

Almost all of Jingguo’s docks are in the south. This change first of all cut off the way for the former officials of the Municipal Bureau of Ships to fish for oil and water. Naturally, they are all kinds of wealthy families along the coast.

The officials of the Maritime Department have official seals, and the big families have thugs. They can easily monopolize the wharf and decide who can go to sea for business and who can't go to sea for business. The business involved is very large and involves a lot.

Officials in several coastal states and powerful and prominent families were involved. The change of the Shibo Department gave more ordinary people opportunities and made the competition in the sea trade more fair, but it ruined these people's financial resources.

So he had a headache at the beginning, and he didn't know who to send. He had to be able to deal with it, withstand the pressure of all parties, and have means.

In the end, he still chose Qifang, a woman who fought with him, ran the south all the year round, stirred up civil strife in Xia Dynasty, and was ruthless.

It's just that he never expected that they would dare to do it!
He thought that the emperor's grandson's name, his prestige, and the court's support would be enough to suppress these people, but now it seems that they have underestimated their wolfish ambitions, and if they want to share their cake, they might dare to fight desperately!
Li Xingzhou took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "After I clean up the Kingdom of Jin and stabilize the North, let's see how I deal with them!"

Then he took Qifang's hand back: "This trip is really hard for you, if someone else can't do it."

Qifang was stunned for a moment, then avoided his gaze: "Hmph, if they dare to rape me, I will kill them. Anyway, I have killed many people. I am not afraid of ghosts. They were very violent at first, but then I became afraid.

But the situation is not clear now, there are still people who are fighting against Xinshi Shipai, I can't hold it back.

And I still have a way out, I killed so many people, and everyone said that I was His Highness's mistress, my reputation has long been ruined, if one day I can't stand it, His Highness will say that I am a witch, and I am a temptress. If the punishment is severe, both sides will have a step down. "

"There won't be that day!" Li Xingzhou said firmly, "By the way, what is the attitude of my sister-in-law Princess Qing'an's mansion?"

"It's very ambiguous, don't fight against me, but sometimes I beg her to evade with various excuses." Qi Fang sighed.

Li Xingzhou also sighed. My sister-in-law's husband's family is also an out-and-out famous family. This restructuring must also affect their interests, and things are not easy to handle.

"When I return to Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will talk to her. If we can't reach an agreement, I don't have to show mercy."

Li Xingzhou was frowning, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few people dressed as scholars running back in the crowd. At this time, everyone was pushing in to see him, a legendary figure, but those people pushed out against the crowd
