When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 395 Negotiation

The envoy from Hijikata has arrived.

The leader of the team was still Xianyu Xiaozhu, but two elders appeared on the left and right. If you look carefully at their age and appearance, they are probably not low in status.

"These two are my uncles."

Xian Yu Xiaozhu introduced to Hijikata.

Xin Qu looked at the two elders in surprise. They looked normal, as if they were already used to it and introduced themselves: "璒璺."

"Pez."

The two of them saluted, and then stared at a piece of jade seal on Xin Qu's table, as well as the screens and jade ornaments hanging on the left and right.

璩, earrings.

Pei, jade pendant.

In other words, these two are actually a tribe of engineers specializing in the production of jade jewelry in Hijikata.

"Welcome, both of you." Xin Qu smiled.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask, what is this thing?"

Peizi stared at the jade seal on Xinqu's table.

"Seal." Xin Qu replied with a smile, "At the bottom is the seal of Xin's county government. It can be called a seal to facilitate verification of authenticity. In some cases, holding this seal is equivalent to having the power to order a county. "

"Oh...that's it." Peizi clicked his tongue twice, while the man next to him smiled.

Interesting.

No wonder the Xin family has so many exquisite jade carvings. It turns out that they have used related jade products in all aspects of life.

Even the message transmission aspect is not neglected. No wonder there is such technology.

I applauded one or two in my heart.

The two of them didn't talk much and left the scene to Xianyu Xiaozhu.

"My father heard about my uncle's decision, and he was very happy."

Xianyu piggy heyed twice.

Xin Qu nodded slightly.

In fact, he could also feel the problem. Theoretically, Xian Yu Xiaozhu had been back for some time, so Tu Wang shouldn't have failed to respond.

Unless King Tu thinks that it is not cost-effective to fight Qiong Fang now, so he does not plan to take action.

As a result, he announced that he wanted to change the repair partner, and Tu Wang arranged for Xianyu Xiaozhu to come over. I am afraid that Tu Wang's thoughts still exist about the "Yuxian" area, where he defected to Tao Tang's family and Qiong Fang. The thoughts of those exiled tribes beat.

If the Xin family cooperates with Tufang to go south this time, they will definitely go to Yu County, then pass Lingqiu and go south.

And the earthwork can just go south from Datong to Dai County.

Both sides can continue to go south, attack Yuanping, and seize the strategic location from Yanmen Pass to Taiyuan in later generations.

As long as Tufang and the Xin clan control the three narrow mountain basins of Daixian, Fanzhi and Lingqiu, it will be easy for Tufang to go south from Yuanping to Xinzhou and then enter the hinterland of Taiyuan.

Therefore, it is difficult to break through the three-city obstacle of the Rong clan by relying solely on the power of a tribal alliance in Hijikata. Allies must be recruited.

Of course, more importantly, winning Fanzhi is equivalent to owning Shanxi salt brine. At this time, there are a large number of surface brine on Fanzhi's territory. Most of Rong's salt has to rely on the natural crystallization of this area. .

Xinqu's sea salt also requires complicated and refined processes. The salt here only needs to be boiled by adding fire.

Taking down Fanzhi is equivalent to getting a golden hen, which can lay golden eggs at will, and no one will choose to ignore it.

Xianyu Xiaozhu did not hide anything and continued: "So, my father's intention is very clear. For the sake of our cooperation, we are willing to sell Wei and Lingqiu. But Dai and Huo (Fanzhi) can only be ours." .”

Xin Qu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after weighing it for a while, he said: "Although I really want to agree, you know that there is a good mountain pass between Dai, Huo and Hijikata. If you take it, I want to go south. For trade, we have to..." "Well... the issue of tariffs can be discussed." Xianyu Xiaozhu paused.

Tariff is Xinqu's concept.

In the past, there were car and horse money checkpoints in various places of the Xin family, but there were basically none. In other words, commercial taxes did not exist. Xinqu was just a symbol of collecting some stall fees in the market.

But at the beginning of this year, Xinqu began to add city shipping envoys and inspection envoys.

Then, delegate authority to the general.

For example, the newly transferred General Juyongguan has an additional envoy under his command, who has the right to collect information fees for registering items and providing information to passing caravans.

The inspection envoy is responsible for road construction and also has the authority to collect tolls from fleets passing through the "highway".

The Shibo Envoy has the right to impose one tax per ten in the market transaction process.

In other words, Xinqu added three new tax collection posts, which immediately raised the cost of trade.

When we came to Changping from Tufang, a piece of fur shipped was originally worth three hundred kilograms of millet. Starting from this year, we would have to get five hundred kilograms of millet to recover the cost. Otherwise, if the tariffs along the way were increased, we would have to pay for our pants.

Of course, Xinqu has clear documents on how much to levy, what to levy, and what not to levy.

For example, Duzhi Envoy can only check bulk commodities: grain, salt, copper, fur, cloth, jade, porcelain, wine, etc.

Inspection envoys can only check: salt, copper, jade, porcelain, wine, etc.

The city shipping envoy is to flexibly adjust according to the policy. Anyway, there are only so many markets now. They are all distribution centers that have been determined by Xinqu and managed uniformly. The cost of tax collection can be further reduced.

Therefore, Xianyu Xiaozhu, who has a certain tax-free quota, smiled brightly at Xinqu, but other important officials in Tufang, such as Yuyue and Peizi.

They personally followed the Youxin family, not only for the cooperation between Hijikata and the Youxin family, but more importantly, for the issue of tariff reduction and exemption.

Why is it that only Xianyu Xiaozhu in the entire earthwork is exempted from taxes? If they want to transport jade from Yanqing County, they will have to pay additional tariffs when they go out of Xuanhua or Zhuolu.

They can't bear the cost.

Therefore, King Tu also coveted Xin's taxation model. He did nothing but produced hundreds or even thousands of bags of millet out of thin air. If the transaction volume increases in the future, then...it makes me cry just thinking about it. saliva.

Therefore, Tu Wang and others decided to follow Xin's advanced taxation management experience, deeply explore user needs through transit big data analysis, provide customized tax services for each user, and strive to achieve sustainable taxation.

Of course, Tuwang also has to face their biggest customer - the Xin family.

Therefore, the issue of tariffs is a quarrel between the two sides.

After hearing this, Xin Qu grinned: "Even so, I, Xin Qu, can make the overall tax framework of the Xin family change accordingly, and I can bring any lawlessness to justice.

I'm afraid that King Tu can't do it.

By then, if the link to the east is developed, who can guarantee that other elders will not want to take a share of the pie?

Who can guarantee my interests?
If my interests are seriously damaged by then, I will not rule out mobilizing the army to protect my caravan interests by force.

But if a war starts because of this, it would be too emotionally damaging, don’t you think? "

The eyes of Yuyue and Peizi moved slightly, and their eyes quickly crossed each other, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

But Xianyu Xiaozhu had already made a plan and said with a smile: "So, we can build a distribution center. Just east of Tuwang's residence (today's Yunzhou District of Datong City), build a flat city.

With the Xin family's caravan, they only need to transport the materials to Pingcheng for trading. There is no need to think too much about where to transfer them later. That is our internal distribution.

In this way, we don't need to collect customs duties, but after passing Pingcheng, this tax... well, it must be based on our internal arrangements, how about it? "

"Boy, you have a big appetite." Xin Qu raised his eyebrows, "Does that mean you want to demarcate the territory with me? Pingcheng as the boundary?"

"I said uncle, your appetite is too big!" Xianyu Xiaozhu was startled and quickly waved his hand.
