"Okay!"

The centaur squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.

He thought for a while and said, "Huayan Temple is built in Xiangshan, let's arrange a Yuhe County Order for you......"

Xiangshan is under the jurisdiction of Yuhe County, and the Yanjing Huayan Temple under construction (basically completed) is not the family temple of the Ma family, but the royal temple. According to the system of the Liao State, the construction of royal temples can be carried out by the households of Ligongzhou County.

The so-called households in Gongzhou County are the households in Handi Prefecture and County that belong to the palace tents, they are not palace households, and they also belong to the management of local states and counties, but the taxes are handed over to the palace accounts, and at the same time, they also have to bear the forced labor under the palace tents. The construction of the royal temple is naturally a palace tent and a matter of duty for the people of Gongzhou County.

Ma Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that there was a Yuhe County order to do, and when he saw that his uncle wanted to stop talking, he immediately smiled and said, "How much copper do you need?" Uncle might as well tell me how to count. ”

This one...... Of course, it's the money to buy officials!

Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, most of the county officials in Liao were bought with money! Oh, and this is not corruption, but an upright system.

The Wujing guards of the Great Liao State have the right to appoint officials below the county order and record the secretary. Since this power has been given to Wujing to stay, of course they will sell their officials.

Of course, not just anyone can appoint them, and they must be at a certain level before they can be appointed as county magistrates.

And Ma Zhi's official is a military envoy, which is qualified to be a county commander.

"One million," Ma Renwang said with a smile, "This is for the Han Ziguo left behind in Nanjing and Xiao Baoxian left behind by Tongzhi, there are more than that, but Yutian is a big county, and the county's profit village has a lot of income, and it can still be earned." ”

Of course, one million is not a million, but a million, which is a thousand in Liao.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, Da Liao is a poor man. A mere 1,000 yuan is a lot of money for the Ma family, one of the four Yan families!

Of course, the Ma family's "poverty" is only poor because they don't have money...... I am afraid that it will be difficult for people in later generations to understand, isn't poverty just having no money? Actually, it's not, the amount of money is related to the development of the commodity economy. The current economic structure of Daliao is still a manor economy, that is, it is self-sufficient, and it does not need much money and does not make much money.

For example, Ma Zhi is here in Yanjing, and the food, use, housing, and sleeping are basically provided by the manor in Zhongjing Road (Yiwu Lushan is in Zhongjing Road), and it doesn't cost anything at all. And although his estate occupies a large area and has many customers (tenants), there is not much profit to hand over throughout the year.

In addition, the Liao officials' salaries were not based on money, and only the officials who served in the court (central government) were really paid. State and county officials, palace officials, and tribal officials did not have serious salaries, but granted estates of various natures. The state and county officials have profit villages, the palace bookkeepers and tribal officials have palace sub-households and head households, and many Khitan wealthy families (including several prominent branches of the Yutian Han clan) also have their own hereditary head and lower military states.

Therefore, the Liao State is a family plus a manor economy and a tribal economy, all of which are very "poor". This money in the Song Dynasty is mostly about how much "缗", while on the Liao side it is mainly about "literature".

The 1,000 taels of gold that Wu Haogu gave to Ma Zhi is fifteen million on the Liao side, which is a lot of money! If Ma Zhi's official is a little bigger, he can really buy a state military festival envoy!

"By the way, it's better for you and Brother Zhao Zhong to play small, right?"

Ma Renwang and his nephew finished talking about buying officials, and after a while, they mentioned Brother Zhao Zhong again.

"Yes, Brother Zhong and I are both students of Mr. Xiangshan," Ma Zhi's brows furrowed. "What's wrong with Brother Zhong?"

"He went to Yanshan to be a thief." Ma Renwang said with a bitter face, "The old man is now a patrol envoy of the Nanjing police, look at ......"

"A thief?" Ma Zhi was stunned, "Langjun of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou has become a thief?" ”

The four Yan families among the Han people in Liao are Han, Zhao, Liu, and Ma, although they are called together, but the status of these four families is actually very different. Among the four, the Yutian Han clan and the Zhenzhou Zhao clan are respected.

Yutian Han is Han Derang's family, as early as Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu's generation, his family was abnormally noble, Han Zhigu made a Chinese book order, Han Derang's father Han Kuangsi did Nanjing to stay, and was also named King Yan. And Han Derang is even more powerful, he hooked up with the Empress Dowager Xiao Sui of Chengtian, became the prime minister, the general Privy Council of the north and south, and also gave Yelu the surname and royal status, and entered the Heng Tent Ji's father's room! What's even more awesome is that he also established his own palace tent, one of the current eleven palaces and one of the mansions in Liao, which is the palace of Wenzhong Wang, which is Han Derang's palace tent.

And unlike other ministers in history who slept with the Queen Mother, Han Derang also met a Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu who had a "Green Mother Plot". After the death of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, Yelu Longxu was still close to Han Derang as father and son. After Han Derang's death, he was also buried next to his mother's mausoleum.

And the Yutian Han family also continued to expand under the care of the Liao Shengzong, becoming the third surname of the Great Liao, second only to the Yelu clan and the Xiao clan, and could enjoy the treatment of the Yelu clan's royal family. Therefore, the head of the Han family and his son-in-law have the surname Yelu, and the wife is surnamed Xiao.

Such a family is simply incomparable to the Doctor Wu Lu Shan Ma family!

However, the Zhao family in Zhenzhou can be compared with the Han family in Yutian. Because Zhao Dejun, the ancestor of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, is the biggest traitor in Liao!

Han De made their family also traitors, but they couldn't be called big traitors, because Han Zhigu, the ancestor of the Han family, was captured by the Khitans as slaves at the age of six, so he was loyal to the Khitans. And Zhao Dejun was originally the envoy of the Youzhou Festival in the Later Tang Dynasty, and he failed to compete with Shi Jingjiao to be the emperor, so he became a Khitan official.

Later, Zhao Dejun's son Zhao Yanshou became the vanguard of the Jin Dynasty, continued his father's traitor career, and also wanted to be the emperor, but he was released by the Khitans. However, in this attack on the Jin State, Zhao Yanshou's eldest son Zhao Kuangzan stayed in the Central Plains and surrendered to the Later Han Dynasty as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, and later surrendered this and that, and surrendered all the way to Zhao Kuangyin, and actually surrendered to a prominent general by surrendering.

However, several sons of Zhao Kuangzan (renamed Zhao Zan after surrendering Zhao Kuangyin) remained in the Liao State and continued to be traitors, and they were also reused by the Liao State. As a result, there was a situation in which Zhao was divided into north and south, and they were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Now Zhao Xiaoyan, the governor of Liao, and Zhao Yanmu (the former prime minister of Nanfu), who stayed in Zhongjing, are all members of the Zhao family on the Liao side.

In addition, the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, like the Han family in Yutian, has many children who have served as envoys of the state army, and they are truly prominent families.

Such a child of a big clan is now actually going up to the mountain to be a robber!

"It's not because I don't want to be surnamed Zhao," Ma Renwang shook his head and sighed, "Brother Zhong is born after all, and he is a slave ......."

Ma Zhi smiled when he heard this: "Isn't it just surnamed Zhao, what's so difficult about this, there are so many people in the world whose surname is Zhao, and there is not one more of him." The nephew turned around and persuaded him, telling him to stop messing around. ”

"Okay, that's for the best." Ma Renwang nodded and said, "They are all children of the Yan family, what's the matter with falling grass for Kou." ”

He paused, "If you persuade him not to listen, you might as well let your teacher Murong Xiangshan come forward, his words should always be of some use." ”

"Yes, nephew knows."

……

"Are you going to make a county order? Congratulations to Second Brother Ma. ”

Wu Haogu knew that Ma Zhi was going to be the county commander, and it was already the afternoon of the second day after he arrived in Yanjing. It was Ma Zhilai who told Wu Haogu and Ximen Qinghe about the "joy of **".

"What congratulations?" Ma Zhi smiled, "It's just that I spent money to buy an official ...... Speaking of which, thank you and your eldest sister for borrowing a thousand gold from a certain family, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to afford it. ”

"Oh," Wu Haogu nodded, "the county order that cost a thousand gold?" ”

He knew that the Liao State was a state army, and it usually managed a few counties, and it should be able to get it with 10,000 gold, which was not too expensive.

"A thousand gold is needed there," Ma Zhi shook his head, "a million gold." ”

"A million dollars...... Cheap? ”

"It's not cheap," Ma Zhi smiled, "It's not a rich county in the Great Song Dynasty, it's just a poor county in the Liao Kingdom." There's not much money, and there's a lot of. ”

Yutian County is actually a rich county in Liaoguo, but it still can't make too much money, because most of the land and population in the county have been divided up by the Yanyun wealthy family and the eleventh palace (Khitan royalty) and several big temples. The tax targets set by the Nanjing Daoist faction have not been completed for decades......

Wu Haogu nodded, followed Ma Zhi's path and said, "If you want money, you have to be a state army that can trade, such as Suzhou." ”

"Suzhou? Suzhou Anfu Army? ”

"That's it." Wu Haogu snapped his fingers and said, "If the furs, medicinal herbs, eagle harriers, horses, and precious wood of the Great Liao Tokyo Road can be exported to the Great Song Dynasty, they are all worth a lot of money. What do you think? Can the second brother get the festival envoy of the Suzhou Anfu Army? ”

"Da Lang, do you really think Suzhou Anfu Army is good?" Ma Zhi looked at Wu Haogu and asked.

"How bad?" Wu Haogu asked rhetorically, "The south is bordered by the sea, the north is based on Chengguan, and it will only take a day to go to Dengzhou." ”

"But the Suzhou Anfu Army is too far away from Yanjing."

"Yanjing?" Wu Haogu understood that Ma Zhi's eyes were mainly looking at Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, "Yanjing's credit is too great, and the oil and water are too much, how can you and I be able to eat it?" It's your doctor Lu Shan Ma family, and you can't be the master of Nanjing Dao now, right? And Second Brother Ma doesn't seem to be able to be the patriarch of your Ma family, but ah? ”

Ma Zhi was silent.

Wu Haogu continued: "The sea trade is very profitable, and the furs, medicinal herbs, eagle harriers, horses, and precious timber are not worth much in Tokyo Road, but if they are transported to Haizhou, they are all worth a lot. If the second brother is a festival envoy, we can monopolize the profits of Suzhou's trade, and the profit of millions a year is not a problem. With so much money, the second brother's lord of Suzhou is doing comfortably. Moreover, Suzhou is lonely overseas, which is beyond the reach of Kaifeng, and it can follow the benefits of Fuzhou and be inherited by Ma Jiayong Town. Isn't that bad? ”
