Chapter 408: Looking at the North Tower
Wu Haogu got up from the kang with a thick layer of mattresses and stretched his waist, very satisfied. Look around, a sleek beauty has already gotten off the kang, and is getting clothes and pants for Wu Haogu, ready to serve him to dress.
Last night, Wu Haogu had a lot of fun under Bai Feifei's service, lingering for a while, and after finishing the matter, he asked Bai Feifei, who was naked, to massage himself, and fell asleep after pressing it. I didn't expect to wake up in the morning, and the beauty was still smooth. Wu Haogu is also becoming more and more corrupt - they were all poisoned by the feudal ideology of the Song Dynasty, and they even let Bai Feifei serve himself naked and wear clothes. This woman is really obedient, and she actually did it to the letter.
Admiring Bai Feifei's graceful figure and white skin, Wu Haogu had the idea of painting a human body again. At this moment, Du Wenyu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Teacher, the old sect leader Lin asked to see him, saying that the deputy envoy of the Liao State had crossed the river." ”
Ma Zhi came at a good time!
Wu Haogu glanced at Bai Feifei with some resentment, Bai Feifei took a piece of clothing and said to Wu Haogu: "Official, the slave will wait for you to change your clothes first." ”
"No need," Wu Haogu smiled, "Throw me the clothes, I can wear them myself." You can put it on quickly, and come with me to see Ma Zhi later. ”
"Okay." Bai Feifei never seemed to say "no" to Wu Haogu, and responded again with great supplicity.
The hot water and breakfast for washing had already been prepared by the two servants, Wu Haogu and Bai Feifei got dressed, washed up after leaving the bedroom, and had some breakfast with Du Wenyu.
"Wenyu, is your body okay today?"
While eating breakfast, Du Wenyu suddenly heard Wu Dalang's question, and his little face suddenly turned red, and he responded in a low voice.
"Then go and draw a few sketches, the construction site, the docks, the boats on the boundary river, and the four courtyards."
Wu Haogu gave an order, and then left with Bai Feifei, and he didn't seem to notice a little face twisted up......
What a delicious girl, when are the martial arts perverts going to enjoy it?
……
"Da Lang, I really didn't expect that in this short period of time, you and I would have such an opportunity, and there would be such a base in the Jiehe. It seems that the future is flying strongly, and the establishment of immortality is also expected! ”
In the lobby of the humble Jiehe Administration, the visiting Ma Zhi also looked proud. After seeing Wu Haogu, without a few words of greeting, he talked about "flying in a different day" and "establishing immortal achievements".
Wu Haogu smiled and looked at this traitor hidden within the bureaucratic landlord class of the Great Liao State, he really didn't forget his original intention, now he is mixing so well, and he is still thinking about Fuyan Pingliao.
It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty really can't afford this ambition!
Wu Haogu looked at his knees, and just said quietly: "The Great Song Dynasty has just suffered a national funeral, and the national policy set by the first emperor may not continue to be implemented in the future." However, the Jiehe Commercial Market can still be run in a big way, and if it can manage a situation, it can be regarded as living up to the trust of the emperor......"
"What? You're not going to go back? Oh, by the way, it's the Queen Mother. Ma Zhi laughed, with an indifferent look.
The Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty is not the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Great Liao, and she usually doesn't like to fight and cause trouble. But so what? The current official family of the Great Song Dynasty is a long monarch, how long can the Empress Dowager be in the court? When he returned to politics, the Great Song Dynasty still had to return to the original route.
"How is your Emperor?" Wu Hao's ancient words turned around and asked about Yelu Hongji's body, "Is the body safe?" ”
"Zai Antai is also an ancient person!" Ma Zhi said with a smile, "Those who have harmed the former prince are now in a panic."
Dalang, our Jiehe Commercial Market can be built quickly, and there will be many nobles from the Liao Kingdom who will come to live here. ”
"Oh? Is it? ”
"Of course," Ma Zhi said with a smile, "the 80,000 yuan of shares on our side will be collected in less than three months...... Except for the Yan family, they are all the great nobles of the Khitan and Xi clans who have harmed Prince Zhaohuai! In addition, many people came to me and asked, when will they be able to buy a house on the south bank of the Jiehe River? It is best to be close to the river bank, and the house with a view of the land of Liao on the north bank is easy to say. I'm in a hurry! ”
It turned out that Ma Zhi came in such a hurry to seek a final retreat for the Khitan nobles who had framed the prince of Zhaohuai of the Liao State - that is, to be an indifferent apartment in the land of the Song State on the south bank of the Jiehe River, and look at the north all day long.
It's quite pitiful to say, but this is the rule in the officialdom of Liao! As soon as Yelu Yanxi came to power, he had to eliminate a group of sinners who had harmed his parents and grandmother, otherwise would he, the emperor, still have prestige?
In addition, the nobles of the Liao State, whether they are Khitans, Xi people or Han people, they all have forts or military states under their heads!
By the way, the fort dock and the head military state are the "manors" in the so-called "manor economy". These "estates" are not wineries of later generations, but castles that control large tracts of land, are self-sufficient to a certain extent, and have armed forces!
Therefore, those nobles of the Liao State who had enmity with Yelu Yanxi were all feudal lords with private soldiers, a bit similar to the doctors of the Spring and Autumn Period and the later Japanese states. The family is full of clans, retainers, doormen, and a bunch of thugs. These people are all Yelu Yanxi's father-killing enemies, if they don't destroy a little, Yelu Yanxi will be able to sleep after becoming the emperor in the future?
"There's no going to be a rebellion, right?" Wu Haogu thought about it, and was actually a little worried about Yelu Yanxi.
"I can't turn the sky!" Ma Zhi said with a smile, "The old emperor has all arranged it, the palace army and the leather room army are all under the command of King Yan, and the Zhao, Liu, and Ma families of the four Yan families are not very involved in the battle in the north. What kind of waves can a military state make with more than a dozen heads? Or is it thirty-six to go up...... Moreover, Da Lang, why do you think the old emperor was so happy to approve the Jiehe Commercial Market and exempt him from paying tribute for five years? ”
The Jiehe commercial market has a "five-year tax exemption" period, which is not a five-year tax exemption for merchants who buy and sell in the commercial market, but a tribute from the commercial market itself. The market is taxed by the Chamber of Commerce, but it is not from the first day of opening of the market that the tax is paid, but it is not until the sixth year that the tax is paid on an annual basis.
This five-year tax exemption was set in the "Cheongju Covenant", and the Great Song Dynasty naturally had nothing - what was exempted was not the tax and purchase of the city, but only the tribute tax of the commercial market, which was 350,000 yuan a year, which was nothing to the Great Song Dynasty. However, Liao's finances are very tight, and tens of thousands of yuan is not a small amount of money.
Therefore, Yeluhong Kiken exempted the Shang City from paying tribute for five years, which is definitely a very big support.
"Second brother, are you saying that the old emperor of the Liao Kingdom wants those people to run to the Jiehe Shang Market?"
Ma Zhi smiled: "The most ruthless emperor's family...... Isn't he the one who wanted to exterminate Prince Zhaohuai the most? As a result, he was not angry and could not have children, so he had to let Prince Zhaohuai's son ascend the throne. How changeable do you say? If you are not careful, you will cause trouble to Xiao Wall, can the old emperor not arrange it? He still wants to go safely!
And the northwest obstruction, those people also have to help, right? Now is a critical moment, if it can't be extinguished, a mess will be left to the grandson. Therefore, the old emperor has to leave a way for everyone to live, and everyone can rest assured that they can work hard. Isn't it the same over there? The demotion stopped in Haizhou. ”
Yelu Hongji's old age is an embarrassment with a capital letter, on one side is his only heir, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't kill it! Otherwise, Jiangshan Sheji would have to inherit it to his younger brother, and he would be cut off from his grandchildren, how annoying. On the other hand, they will protect their loyal ministers, or they will protect them...... Yelu Yanxi, that kid will be so well-behaved? Maybe it's going to be a rush for power.
But as soon as he dies, loyal ministers and good grandsons will have to do it! If he hadn't arranged it, maybe the two groups of people would have fought before he had his last breath. How will it end then?
Therefore, the emergence of Jiehe Commercial Market, a "free city of two sides", can be said to solve part of the problems for the old man.
"I see." Wu Haogu laughed, "Let me think about it...... Since the nobles in the north want to find a way out, then we don't have to come to the Jiehe Commercial Market step by step. They are the customers, and we have to think about them when we open the door to do business, right? ”
Ma Zhi laughed, "It's still Da Lang who will do business." ”
Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to do this, let's go back and start a real estate trading house first...... There is no existing house, and you can sell off-plan property. ”
"Off-plan?"
"Even if the house has not yet been built, set a deadline for handing over the house first." Wu Hao Gu said, "The customer will give a deposit of two or three percent first...... With money, won't the house be built quickly? ”
"Okay!" Ma Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The emperor always has a year or two...... The big guy can wait. ”
"The name of the firm is ...... Look at the North Tower! Wu Haogu thought about it, and immediately had a good name.
"Looking at the North Tower? Good! Wangbeilou is good, you can live in it and look north to your hometown every day......" Ma Zhi stroked his palm and said with a smile, "Then I have to enter the last share, Dalang, your business will not be at a loss, and this Wangbeilou will not lose money if you want to." ”
"Well said, well said." Wu Haogu paused, "Second Brother Ma, how about I bring you a set too?" ”
"Me?" Ma Zhi thought for a while, "Okay, how much?" It's too expensive to afford...... I'll have to save up to buy a state military envoy. ”
"Buy a house first," Wu Hao Gudao, "make a steady profit...... If you buy a few hundred horses now, you will sell two or three thousand horses in the future. ”
"Horse?" Ma Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Settle the bill with silk silk?" ”
"yes." Wu Haogu nodded and said, "Isn't your Liao Kingdom mainly trading with silk?" In order to facilitate the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, the Jiehe Commercial Market will be based on silk in the future, supplemented by Jiaozi. ”
