"The big wedding is held in Kaifeng Mansion!? So whether Qianshun is going to Kaifeng Mansion? ”

In Jiehe Shang City, in Xiao Delidi's mansion, as soon as the privy envoy of the Northern Court of the Great Liao Kingdom heard the request of the Song State that Ma Renwang had relayed, he immediately jumped up from the soft couch and stared at the visiting Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue.

"Of course you have to go!" Ma Renwang was a little embarrassed and said, "How about getting married if you don't go?" This is not a substitute. ”

Zhang Jue also said: "Now Qianshun's parents are in Kaifeng Mansion...... It's not a good idea for him to meet up, right? ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Delidi slapped the table, "I went and returned to Xingqing Mansion?" ”

"Of course I can get back!" As he spoke, Ma Renwang took out a scroll and presented it with both hands, "Privy Minister, this is the guarantee of the Song people, please take a look at ......it."

"Guarantee?" Xiao Delidi looked at the horses, and saw that this Han minister, who was usually a dignified minister, now had a flattering smile on his face, why did he look so treacherous?

However, Xiao Deli is not afraid of any treachery, and the scroll will be slowly unfolded immediately. After unfolding it, he found out that it was indeed a fraud! This is not a guarantee, but a large amount of "Buddha statue Jiaozi" issued by the Changshengkuji of the Great Xiangguo Temple in Jiehe. This is a kind of large-amount deposit certificate invented by Du Wenyu, which is actually a copy of the Buddha statue, and the original paintings are all from Du Wenyu's hand. Then copied by the Danqing master, and then copied by the head of the Changsheng Treasury of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River and the depositors who saved the money together in the blank space of the painting handwritten the amount, interest rate, term, and place of withdrawal, and then signed with the seal, and finally the Zhishen abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River with the seal. And it is also in duplicate, one is kept by the depositor, and the other is kept by the Changsheng Treasury of the Daixiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River.

Of course, if you want to use this kind of "certificate of deposit" (personal acquaintances have the role of a certificate of deposit), the amount must be very large. It's usually in the tens of thousands!

Xiao Delidi took a closer look, the amount of this Buddha statue is 20,000 yuan, and it can be paid with the ticket! He looked at Ma Renwang again, and the old man Ma had a loyal smile on his face, which looked reliable!

"Since there is a letter of guarantee," Xiao Delidi put away the "letter of guarantee" and said with a smile, "This official believes it." It's just Yelu Yan's side, and Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Fengxian, and Xiao Sixian......"

"There will also be a letter of guarantee."

Xiao Delidi nodded and said, "Let's talk about it first, the two brothers Qianshun and Brother Cha can only go to one!" If both go, you can't have as many guarantees as you want! ”

"That's, then of course, what is Brother Cha doing in Kaifeng Mansion? It's not that he takes a wife. ”

"So what do you say about the increase in taxes?" Xiao Dryide asked again.

"Give 50,000 yuan," Zhang Jue said, "pay with silk." ”

"Fifty thousand is too little, no, no!"

The state of the Great Liao State is now in deficit year after year, fortunately, the Liao State is not maintained by the force of mercenaries, otherwise if you don't wait for the birth of the Nuzhen to rebel, the Liao State will be wiped out by the trouble.

The reason for this is, of course, because there are too many monks and nuns. With a population of less than 10 million, there are more than 400,000 monks and nuns who are really not engaged in production (unlike the monks who opened banks, restaurants, and bazaars in the Song Dynasty, the monks of the Liao State conscientiously abide by the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty), and there are two million people who do not pay taxes, and it is hell that the country's finances do not collapse.

And to save the bankrupt finances, there is no other way but to blackmail Song Guo. It used to be an annual coin, but now there is a commercial market with a tax package, and you can get 600,000 a year. However, Yelu Yanxi was not satisfied, and wanted to ask for more, hoping to increase it to 800,000 a year!

"Isn't there still two customs customs in Korea that can be deducted?" The loyal and honest horse man said, "The two tax customs are well managed, and it is not a big problem to collect tens of thousands of dollars a year, isn't there more than 100,000?" It's pretty much it. Besides, after winning the tax customs, the concession can be further established. ”

"Rent...... Borrow? ”

"The rent of the rent, the boundary of the river." Ma Ren said, "It means that the rented land boundary is that I, Da Liao, leased a piece of land in the Goryeo Kingdom and built a boundary outside the Goryeo Kingdom." ”

Xiao Deli shook his head, not understanding what he meant.

Can the land of the Great Liao Kingdom still need to be rented if it wants the Goryeo Kingdom? Just start fighting!

However, it is impossible for the Great Liao Kingdom to fight with the Goryeo Kingdom now, the Great Song Dynasty must be careful, the divination has not been completed, and the birth of the Jurchen is shaking again, and he is going to provoke the Goryeo Kingdom...... Too few enemies?

"What if Goryeo doesn't agree?" Xiao Delidi asked, "Could it be that our Da Liao still has to send troops to fight against them?" ”

"No, no." Ma Renwang smiled, "It's too late for the Goryeo Kingdom to ask for the protection of Daliao now, how can it not agree to lease the land?" Besides, we don't want to rent much land, but we rent two pieces of land for the merchants of Daliao to do business, which is much smaller than the Jiehe Commercial Market, and it is enough to have a few thousand acres and tens of thousands of acres. And we don't take their land for nothing, let's pay the rent. ”

"How much?"

"You can give 1,000 horses." Ma Renwang said, "Now the Goryeo people are unwilling to lose, and they want to take revenge. And they felt that they lost because they didn't have a war horse, so they were bent on getting the Iron Horse. We just exchanged war horses for concessions, and then used the concessions to establish a commercial market, and with a commercial market, we could collect taxes. ”

"How much can you take?" Xiao Delidei said, "The commercial market outside Suzhou has not received much money, but the commercial market in Goryeo can be good?" ”

Zhang Jue said: "That's different...... Suzhou Pass didn't have much to do in the first place, and ninety percent of the trade with the Great Song Kingdom went to the Jiehe Commercial Market. And the transactions between Goryeo, the Great Song Dynasty and our Liao Kingdom are all in Haeju (Goryeo Haeju), and the transactions with Japan are all in Busan. If you can build a commercial market in these two places and hold the customs, how can you not make money? ”

"Can there be 100,000 a year in the commercial market plus taxes?"

"Yes!" Zhang Jue said with certainty, "If the privy minister can trust the lower officials, and the lower officials will run the matter, the lower officials will guarantee that from the next year, they will be able to give the court 100,000 silk and copper coins a year." ”

"Guaranteed?" Xiao Deli looked at Zhang Jue, "Is there a guarantee?" ”

Zhang Jue immediately took out a scroll and offered it with both hands. Xiao Delidi took it with a smile, and unfolded it, and it was 10,000 yuan.

"Hahaha," said Xiao Delidi, "let's try this, and this official will definitely tell you about it!" ”

Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Deli's level has finally passed! Next is Yeluyan, this product is also a master who sees money, and the problem should not be big. As long as Yelu Yan nods, there will be no problem on this side of the Boundary River......

……

Jiehe Commercial City, the mansion of the samurai.

In the red-walled compound, a large family was finally settled.

Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, and Ximen Qing all have their own separate courtyards. Luohan was a housekeeper when she was in Kaifeng Mansion, and when she arrived in Jiehe Commercial City, her status declined slightly, and she followed Ximen Qing as a deputy, and she did not have her own independent courtyard, but occupied a small building in the courtyard of Wuhaogu.

Bai Feifei also came to Jiehe Business City with Wu Haogu, and she also followed Wu Haogu for a few years, and went to the Northwest Army together. However, she was not pregnant with Wu Haogu's flesh and blood, and her status in the family was like that - Ximen Qing made up her mind to be a unique concubine, so Bai Feifei could only succumb to the status of a family player. However, in the samurai mansion, she also has her own world, managing the samurai family's family and has an independent courtyard. In fact, outside the family house, she also has her own property and her own residence, just like Yan Po'er.

Like Bai Feifei, there is also a female Taoist aunt Guo Xiaoxiao, she is not ordinary, she has known Wu Haogu since she was a child, and her brother Guo Jing is a Taoist in purple! Speaking of background, it is enough to be a wife to Wu Haogu. Therefore, Pan Qiaolian specially instructed Ximen Qing to carve out a piece of land in a corner of the martial arts mansion and build a Taoist temple for Guo Xiaoxiao. Now that the Taoist temple has not yet been built, Pan Qiaolian let her live in the same courtyard with her, nominally to teach herself how to have a son.

With an eyeliner at home, Wu Haogu naturally has to have a snack, and he can't be guarded against, and he can't be overdone, otherwise he will seem to have a ghost in his heart.

So today, Ximen Qing specially chose a Guo Xiaoxiao to accompany Wu Haogu to practice swordsmanship, and he came to report with a smile.

"Master, the seventh brother of the Ma family has just sent the news."

When Guo Xiaoxiao saw Ximen Qing coming, he knew that Wu Haogu was a little serious, so he took Wu Haogu's wooden sword, went to the weapon shelf on the side, took a hand towel hanging on it and began to wipe his sweat gently, of course his ears were upright.

Wu Haogu asked, "What do you say?" They promised? ”

"Yes." Ximen Qing said with a smile, "Xiao Delidi and Yelu Yan have both received money, so there should be no problem...... Goryeo's Haeju Pass and Busan Pass were bought by the Zhang family in Pingzhou, and we followed from the hands of the Zhang family, so that on the surface, the Liao State was in charge, but in fact we were still in control, that is, from Hou Neng onwards, we had to give the Liao court 100,000 yuan every year. ”

"One hundred thousand ......," Wu Haogu smiled, "Okay, as long as we can open a business market in Goryeo, we can still earn one hundred thousand yuan." King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an's marriage in Kaifeng Mansion is no problem, right? ”

"There's no problem, it's just that Brother Cha can't follow him into the court."

Wu Haogu smiled: "Then you can also explain...... The official family didn't let Brother Cha enter the court in the first place! ”

He turned to Guo Xiaoxiao and smiled: "Xiaoxiao, I can only get here today, I have to go to the coastal city outside the city to do some errands, or do you want Bai Feifei to accompany you to walk around the Jiehe Shang City?" There are a lot of interesting places here, there are a few tiles, there are also horse racing fields, there are also archery competitions, there are many martial arts halls, as well as Taoist temples, temples, Tianfang Temple, cross temple, oh, and there is a large cloud light temple that claims to be the main altar of Manichaeism. If you really want to play, you won't bring the same for a month. ”

"Really?" Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, "Then the poor road will go to play with Sister Feifei." ”
