Section 0685 Withdrawal of fiefdoms

Not much per 8,000 stones, that is, 400 tons of cargo per day. But zooming in on Tang, this number is quite impressive.

"I want Cixi County." Yanagi came up with his own idea.

"It's not good, why we chose Huating for you, it's because no one can make Huating a big port with a daily throughput of 100,000 stones as you say except you. I discussed it later, and Huating's income originally thought that it was just more than 100,000 yuan, but Sister Ling thought that Huating would have huge profits, so she revised the plan. ”

Liu Mu asked again: "So, is there a compromise plan?" ”

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Yu, Du Ruhui and the others motioned for Liu Mu to avoid, and then began to discuss.

Liu Mu walked outside the door by himself, and waited for a quarter of an hour before Xiao Yu motioned for Liu Mu to enter the house.

"There is a plan, you will manage Huating for ten years on behalf of the imperial court. The household department will give you 50,000 yuan every year to make up for the loss of your hard work and inability to take care of your own family business. Let you make a county order, even if the state government does not comply with the rules of the Ministry of Officials, but Huating needs to be carefully managed. ”

Liu Mu asked, "If you take this money, will you fall into the hands of others?" ”

"Yes, so there's another option. That is, the four lower counties next to Cixi are all yours, in exchange for the four northern counties under your current jurisdiction. All your fiefdoms and all the fiefdoms of Princess Changping will also be taken back. The four counties are not hereditary. Xiao Yu said another plan.

Liu Mu immediately agreed without thinking: "Okay, that's it." ”

"The county order of the five counties, you choose it yourself."

"That's fine, I'll add one. Huating according to the state theory. ”

Cui Dunli, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Huating is Xia County, this is Tang Law. However, according to the Tang law, the lower county can be promoted to the upper county, and the upper county can be promoted to the state. ”

Liu Mu immediately asked, "What kind of ascension?" ”

"The lower county is promoted to the upper county, and this depends on the population. Huating is a special place, except for a small place in Huating Port, there is no serious county for hundreds of miles to the west, and there is no other village in some places, nearly a hundred miles around a village. As far as this small village is concerned, the population here suddenly gathers thousands of households, and there must be a county here. ”

Liu Mu said: "Then, Huating will be promoted to a state." ”

"Yes."

"Okay, no problem. It's just that this population is only counted as Datang people, or even outsiders. ”

"Permanent residence means that it must be a long-term house, with a family and a house."

Liu Mu nodded: "Clear." ”

Liu Mu said again: "The first Huating County Commander, I recommend Dou Shikuan. ”

"Yes." This is a trivial matter, and in the eyes of these top officials, the Bapin County Order of a lower county is not a matter at all. So I didn't even ask a word more, and agreed.

Cui Junsu said at this time: "There must be a contract for this. There is always a plan here in Huating, taking five years as an example. If you do it every year, you will reduce or exempt the taxes of the four counties in Cixi that you manage, and more households will draw money from Huating to reward you. If you fail to do so, you will be punished accordingly, and you will be fined coins. ”

"It's not fair."

"We have discussed, for the time being, the four northern counties will still be according to your plan, especially Huayuan County, which will be upgraded to a state and triple in size. And we will return Huayuan to you, and you will hand over everything in Sanyuan and nationalize it. ”

"This ......"

Liu Mu's heart was moved, this temptation was too great for him to refuse.

Cui Junsu sighed at this time: "Every household in this Huayuan has to collect a lot of taxes. ”

"Then after giving it to me, how to calculate the tax exemption?" Yanagi understands that the workshop is originally his own, and the difference here is the absolute management right and the tax revenue of the county.

"No, you coax me, this tax itself is to subsidize the needs of the royal family, and to provide for the gods and guards." Yanagi felt like he had been fooled by these old guys.

"We don't check Huayuan's accounts. Only check the accounts of the ghost workers, and only need to determine the expenses of the ghost workers valley. It is only checked once a year, and as long as there is an account, it does not ask the source. Cui Junsu gave Liu Mu a condition.

Yanagi thought twice and thought it was reasonable.

Seeing that Liu Mu didn't answer, Cui Junsu added another one: "Otherwise, all the accounts will not be checked." In the four northern counties, all except Huayuan were recovered, and five thousandths of the income of Huating and Huayuan County were taken as military expenses of the Shence Army and palace expenses. ”

"Okay." Huating's five-thousandths of willow wood didn't dare to die, but this part was given to the Tang Emperor as private money, no problem.

Liu Mu said: "The expenses of the Shen Cewei are limited to daily training, military salaries, and ordnance. The money for the expedition belongs to the household. ”

"It's a deal." Cui Junsu raised his right hand.

Liu Mu walked a few steps over quickly, and with a slight high-five, the matter was settled.

The official official document Liu Mu did not raise his heart, he was not fighting for his own profits, he was fighting for private money for the Tang Emperor. Great ceremonies, ceremonies, sacrifices, etc., are still paid for by the national treasury.

The money is just for daily expenses.

Liu Mu is also a big shot, and everyone here is a big shot.

High-fives between big people are more effective than that piece of paper.

The details are not important, just talk about the general direction, if there is a problem, discuss it again.

Liu Mu was drunk again, and drank with these people until dawn the next day.

Cui Jun Suming said that this was deliberate, because he was not happy in Huayuan, so he came back to find some unhappiness for Liu Mu at the wine table, which was considered to be flat.

The next day, Liu Mu went to the south of Chang'an City, and when the Liu family went to the mansion in Chang'an outside the city, he was still drunk in the carriage, and he entered the gate of the Liu family, and the patriarch Liu Chongchong greeted Princess Changping with a courtesy.

Because the Liu family mansion does not have Liu Mu's direct elders, Dugu Lanruo does not need to give gifts to anyone.

Liu Siniang and Wu Niang have not officially married yet, so they also came back with Liu Mu.

Back then, when Liu Mu went home before his wedding, there were rich families in the Liu clan who only gave Wu Niang a penny of New Year's money, even if Liu Mu married a princess at that time, he was not taken into account by everyone in the Liu family, not to mention a little girl.

But this time it was different.

Liu Ruhua and Liu Ruyun are the daughters of top aristocratic families.

Don't underestimate these two little girls, the husband of the aunt who gave them a penny back then wanted to be transferred back to Chang'an No. 6 from the remote Xiazhou, but the two girls united with the little girls of a certain family, and they were just disturbed.

Although the eldest grandson Wujian reprimanded him picturesquely and like a cloud, it did not change the fact that he failed to be promoted.

Does holding a grudge work?

Entering the door, Liu Mu was still sleeping, why was Liu Mu drunk Liu family has an identity to know, and people without an identity are not qualified to ask.

At this time, Liu Mu, as a national prince, is not an official but holds a lot of power. Moreover, the two brothers-in-law are both generals who lead troops, and the military attache group from the Qin Wangfu and Liu Mu are as close as brothers.

Liu Mu was sent back to the middle wing room to rest, and Dugu Lanruo still needed to meet the ladies of the Liu family according to the ceremony.
