Tubo is really an unsolvable problem for the Tang Dynasty, because to eliminate Tubo, not to mention whether it can succeed, even if it succeeds, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage 800 itself.

This problem has also plagued Han Yi for a long time, in the face of Lu Dongzan's old fox, he is often powerless, in fact, passivity is within his acceptable range, as long as Tubo does not affect his plans, he is very, very satisfied.

Even today, he has no intention of changing the status quo, he still intends to use diplomacy to solve the problem, because nothing is more important than his plan, and as long as his plan is successful, it is a turtle in the urn, he has to be patient at this time, fortunately, this patience is not a problem at all.

After saying goodbye to Han Yi, the Wu Kelie set off for the next round of trade, because the next trade was coming soon, and they had been here for too long.

But Han Yi is still facing a huge challenge, you must know that his new policy has not been fully passed in the court, he persuaded the emperor and ministers, but after all, this is to change the national system, no one can afford this pot, he still has a lot of work to do, the country has not officially announced the use of stamp duty, this fundamental change, at least to convince those with vested interests, if they are all opposed, then it will not be implemented.

This is also the most rare place to change the law in feudal society.

Tobe!

"I asked you to ask those Guanzhong nobles to come here to discuss, how is it going?"

Han Yi asked Zhang Daxiang.

Zhang Daxiang said: "I have already notified them, and they have also expressed their willingness to come to Chang'an to discuss with you, but the situation may not be optimistic!" ”

Han Yi smiled while playing with the teacup: "Not too optimistic? Why don't we gamble on something? ”

"Don't bet!"

Zhang Daxiang replied very simply, because he had never won, and he was curious: "What can you think of to fool them?" ”

Han Yi said with a dark face: "Can this kind of thing be fooled?" ”

"If this kind of thing is not fooled, how can it succeed?"

"That's just as well."

Zhang Daxiang knew Han Yi's character, he wouldn't say it, but seeing that he was confident, he didn't ask much, and suddenly said, "Will you go to see the excitement later?" ”

Han Yi was curious: "What's the excitement?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "I heard that Xu Jingzong, Wang Dejian and others left Chang'an today. ”

Han Yi said angrily: "What kind of excitement is this?" ”

Zhang Daxiang was slightly excited: "Xu Jingzong treated you like that before, don't you want to ......!" ”

Han Yi didn't wait for him to finish, then said: "You also underestimate me Han Yi too much, Xu Jingzong regards me as an enemy, that's just his wishful thinking, I don't want to deal with him at all." Besides, even a four-grade petty official like you can go to see the excitement, if I want to go, doesn't it mean that my grade has fallen to the same level as you? ”

The elephant's face suddenly collapsed.

Han Yi asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said angrily: "Yes, you are now Shang Shuling, the first person in the dynasty, and you are on an equal footing with Sikong." ”

"That's it!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "But it's still time to celebrate." ”

Zhang Daxiang said, "Do you want to have a treat?" ”

"Of course not."

Han Yi shouted outside: "Pass the order, Zhang Shilang has a treat tonight." ”

"Whoa!"

The officials outside hurriedly responded.

Zhang Daxiang hurriedly said: "Why? ”

Han Yi said: "You are so happy, of course you have to have a treat, let everyone be happy with you, how cool is this!" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "You haven't invited guests yet." ”

Han Yi snorted: "Such an unfortunate thing, I have encountered it, and I still have a treat, am I crazy?" ”

Zhang Daxiang snorted: "Now my family is also poor, and the workshop of that generation has not made money for several years...... ”

Han Yiyi raised his hand, "Okay, okay, you have a treat, I'll pay." ”

Zhang Daxiang smiled: "Thank you very much." ”

Xu Jingzong's dead face dragged on in Chang'an for a few days, and he didn't expect what he wanted, but many people urged him to leave, and people poured feces at their doors every day, and the huge Chang'an just couldn't tolerate him.

Today he left Chang'an full of loss, of course, it was also accompanied by the scolding of the people, and the people followed the scolding all the way, this crisis hurt too many people.

And Han Yi didn't pay attention to this matter at all, Xu Jingzong didn't care if he left or not, he didn't care, just Xu Jingzong's character, this age, and this heart, Han Yi was not afraid of him at all, if he came up again, Han Yi would still be able to suppress you.

As Han Yi said, Xu Jingzong regards him as a thorn in his side, but Xu Jingzong's own wishful thinking, Han Yi didn't pay much attention to him at all, and his attention to Li Yifu was even higher than that of Xu Jingzong, after all, Li Yifu is a kind of person who has the value of use, Li Yifu dares to fight, dare to be greedy, don't want a face, have no scruples, a villain, and is a very rare teammate.

And Xu Jingzong is narrow-minded, and he still thinks that he is a gentleman every day, and Han Yi is not even in the mood to take advantage of him.

Moreover, Han Yi is a person, as long as you don't hurt his relatives, he won't hold a grudge against you, after all, he himself is not a kind person, you say a thousand people, to spit on others for being despicable and shameless, this can only be said to be self-deception.

In addition, Han Yi has more important things to do, which is to meet those noble gate lords in Guanzhong.

Because 40 percent of the country's Zhichong Prefecture is concentrated in Guanzhong, these Guanzhong gate lords are not only the big landlords in Guanzhong, but they also directly affect 40 percent of the country's military strength, after all, the soldiers of this government are in the township, not in the barracks, and these gentry have a great influence on the soldiers of the Guanzhong Prefecture. Why did Wu Meiniang avoid Guanzhong, this is the reason. The nobles of Guanzhong have taken root here, and it is very difficult to fight them here, and Wu Meiniang can't fight them. According to the records of the history books, on the eve of Li Zhi's burp, Wu Meiniang hurriedly transported Li Zhi to Luoyang, she didn't even dare to let the army escort her, and found a group of hooligans to send them to Luoyang, so she only weakened the status of Guanzhong, but unfortunately that is already history, and now she has lost the base camp of Luoyang and has become nothing.

Han Yi and Zhang Daxiang met with these Guanzhong gate valves in the household department, more than thirty or forty people, the number is not very large, but they are all from the top two nobles in the Guanzhong region, they can represent the aristocratic forces in the entire Guanzhong region, even the Yuan family has sent Yuan Xiu over, and some of them are considered relatives of the emperor, because the Li family in Longxi is also a nobleman in Guanzhong.

"I'm sure you all know why I'm here this time."

Han Yi didn't say anything to them, after all, everyone is very busy, and he got straight to the point: "In this crisis, many people have lost their land, the land equalization system is difficult to maintain, and the country is facing a dilemma. ”

"Doesn't Shang Shuling think this is ridiculous?"

One said immediately.

"What do you mean by that?"

"This crisis is not caused by us, it is your court itself that messes around, so that the people can no longer live, and the people can only sell their land to the landlords, and the landlords buy their land, which is to help them, otherwise, they will starve to death. Now the landlord is responsible for this matter, and the court does not even have this responsibility, so how can we still trust the court. ”

"Well said! The Juntian system has been carried out very well, and the government soldiers are also built on the Juntian system, if there is no Juntian system, how can my Datang be strong today, if you abolish the Juntian system, then you are going to kill my Datang. ”

"This crisis is the work of Li Yifu and others, it is a human thing, what does it have to do with the Juntian system? This is reasonable, public and private, but it can't be justified. ”

......

In short, they are unwilling to abolish the land system, but you also want to take back the land, and the tone is very strong, and it is obviously discussed.

Anyway, Han Yi is also a Shangshu Ling, but they don't give any face.

Zhang Daxiang had thought of this situation a long time ago, but he was also from Guanzhong, so he was not very quiet, so he just looked at Han Yi with a little worry.

Han Yi said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the reason why the imperial court sent me to talk to you is because the imperial court has learned a lesson, and any policy must be discussed by everyone, and it can't be the same as the last new policy, it was promulgated without careful consideration, and the result was like this." Besides, I am representing the imperial court, and personally, I have cooperated with many of you, so we are not buying and selling, benevolence and righteousness are here, so don't be too excited. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just going to do it."

"Yes, yes, we are just talking about things, not against Shang Shuling, if there is anything inappropriate in the language, I hope Shang Shuling will forgive me."

......

Han Yi's reputation in Guanzhong is not bad, after all, many children of nobles in Guanzhong were arranged by Han Yi, so as soon as Han Yi gave a smile, many people immediately changed their tone.

"I know, I know."

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I'm very fair, why don't we raise our hands to vote?" That's fair. ”

"Okay! Then vote by a show of hands. ”

When these big landlords heard this, they were all happy, you are clearly secretly supporting us, if you want to say it earlier, we may be able to drink and chat at the same time, why are you so serious.

It's all their people here, and if you raise your hand to vote, you won't be able to pass it!

Zhang Daxiang was stunned, and raised his hand to vote, it was better not to invite them to come, it was a waste of everyone's time.

Han Yi stood up and said, "Before voting by raising my hands, I also have to clarify the meaning of the imperial court, otherwise, the imperial court will have to say that I didn't do my best, don't you mind giving me half a pillar of incense?" ”

"Shang Shuling, please speak."

They thought very simply, I won't listen to what you say anyway, and we will raise our hands to vote later, and we will veto it.

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "I want to sum it up to one point, that is, the price of grain!" As you all know, although there is a lot of arable land in the Guanzhong area, it still cannot meet the needs of the entire Guanzhong area, because there are more people, and the grain still needs to be imported from other places to Guanzhong, and since the emergence of two crops of rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain output has increased significantly, which is enough to meet the demand of Guanzhong. Therefore, if you agree, the grain in Guanzhong will be sold for 10 yuan, but if you do not agree, I assure you that the price of grain in Guanzhong will never be higher than 4 yuan. ”

These gate valves are stupid, it turns out that you are playing us.

"Why did the court let us lower the price?" One said angrily.

"That is, the grain is ours, and the imperial court does not have this power."

"Don't say that the imperial court doesn't have this power, even if it has this power, the imperial court won't do it, isn't this just nonsense, but the imperial court only needs to introduce a large amount of grain from Jiangnan to Guanzhong, and the price of grain in this pass just can't rise."

"Haha! Is Shang Shuling in the Arabian Nights? If you transport grain from Jiangnan, even if you buy it from Jiangnan for a penny, plus the freight, it is impossible to sell it for only such a small amount of money. ”

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "What?" You doubt I can't do it? ”

No one dares to doubt this, even if Han Yi says that he sells for a penny, no one dares to doubt what Han Yi is, a profiteer among profiteers, in business, it is really a cloud, and a hand is rain.

"Are you threatening us?"

"I mean the exchange, but if you have to understand it as a threat, that's fine."

Han Yi nodded.

"Even if you can do it, I don't believe you dare to do this, this grain hurts the peasants, and the people of Guanzhong will also suffer, and then I will see how the court ends."

"You don't have to worry about this, it won't hurt the people, there is so much grain in Guanzhong, do the people in Guanzhong still need to go to farming? Is it crazy? Of course, I came to the workshop to make money! If you think that a merchant can't hire so many people, then you're still alive in the past. ”

When you hear it, won't you even find a tenant farmer?

You're going to kill us!

"In that case, there's nothing to talk about."

A middle-aged man with a resolute face got up angrily and said.

Han Yi said with a smile: "That's all there is to talk about here, the next thing is to vote by show of hands, we have to have a beginning and an end, if you don't agree with stamp duty, please raise your hand?" ”

With that, he sat down and took a sip of tea.

The landlords looked at each other, and they all seemed to be a little ready to move, but none of them raised their hands.

This account is so easy to calculate, they, the big landlords, rely on grain, if the price of this grain is six cents, then the tax is a fart!

Qu Benxin said suddenly: "Since Shang Shuling said that it was an exchange, then if we promise to pay this stamp duty, I don't know what benefit we have?" ”

Exercise! That's the tone of negotiation. Han Yi said with a smile: "The advantage is that the imperial court will safeguard your rights and interests, the reason is very simple, you have to pay a person's tax, then you are in the heart of the imperial court, you are just like ordinary people, there is no difference, you will lose all your privileges, but if you pay enough taxes, the imperial court will naturally safeguard your rights and interests, protect grain prices from the impact of outside grain, and control prices from rising."

In other words, your grain can be exchanged for more than enough other goods. On the contrary, the imperial court will introduce a large amount of grain without restrictions, and at the same time increase your taxes on the merchants, ensuring that the price of goods will rise, at least the price of salt and iron tea will rise, but it will not be too outrageous. If the price of food is low, the price of goods is high, and the manpower is high, I don't know what the point of being a local lord in Guanzhong is? ”

"I'm in favor of stamp duty."

One suddenly shouted.

It is Yuwen Xiumi, the Yuwen family is now his master, he originally supported Han Yi, but he was also afraid that these uncles and uncles would beat him, and he had been silent, and now he heard that on the one hand, he would reduce the price of grain, and at the same time levy commercial taxes on the other hand, which is really a double blow for an upstart like him, who can stand it.

Many upstarts involved in the buying and selling industry have expressed their support for stamp duty.

There are a lot of upstarts in the Guanzhong area, because Chang'an has entered the urban economy at the beginning, it can be said that it is the largest metropolis in the world, the population is very dense, and they are rich and powerful, more or less involved, the economy was too good at that time, those who have always been unwilling to do business, are quite conservative people, after all, the nobles in this Guanzhong are all Hu and Han hybrids, they themselves have Xianbei blood, they are not very exclusive to buying and selling, the Yuan family is a representative family.

Those conservatives just couldn't swallow this breath, and they opened their eyes angrily, looking at Han Yi, you are a liar!

But they don't want to think about it, aren't they cheating?

Han Yi smiled: "Don't look at me like that, first of all, I am just representing the imperial court, and there is no point in you being angry with me." Secondly, before this crisis, you should all feel the changes in Chang'an, and you should all benefit from it, after all, paper, perfume, clothing, which you need very much, have become much cheaper, and life has become simpler. But you can't take what you have and refuse to give at all. Respect is mutual, you respect the court, and the court will respect you, and vice versa...... Forget it, I don't want to talk too much. I can assure you that if you support stamp duty, your life will be better off than it is now. ”

After that, Han Yi said again: "Please raise your hand in favor of stamp duty." ”

One after another, many people began to raise their hands.

If it's someone else, they may be worthy, let's fight to see who can have the last laugh.

But Han Yi's words, especially in terms of buying and selling, they are really afraid, in this regard, no one will doubt Han Yi's ability, and Han Yi is already quite popular in Guanzhong, not only the upstarts support him, but also the ministers of Guanzhong and the people of Guanzhong in the DPRK support him.

Han Yi nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your support, and please rest assured, for the new policy, the imperial court will think twice about it, and it will not be officially promulgated until it is perfected." ”
