Chapter 1193: Before Marriage
"Isn't it too overbearing to impose additional taxes and prevent grain merchants from raising prices?" the old emperor asked suspiciously: "And then subsidize grain merchants?"
"In the Han and Tang dynasties, the price cannot be raised, and in other places it is not impossible to increase the price, and these subsidies are subsidies for the grain merchants sold to the people of the Han and Tang dynasties, such as a bucket of grain subsidy of 20 yuan, and the tax increase of the imperial court is also 20 yuan, so that the grain price of the Han and Tang dynasties will not fluctuate, but if the grain merchants sell to foreigners at the same price, they will increase taxes in the same way, but there is no subsidy, which means that the grain merchants have only two ways to go, either to raise the price of grain sold to foreigners, or to reduce the purchase and sale of grain merchants to foreigners. ”
After listening to Bai Chen's words, everyone felt that this strategy was not poisonous.
In the game between the Han and Tang dynasties and the Taibai royal court in the past, food prices were rarely used to make a fuss.
For the price of grain is 1,000 wounds to the enemy, and 800 to oneself.
In addition, the population base of the Han and Tang dynasties is large, if you really want to make a fuss about the price of grain, then the Han and Tang dynasties will suffer the most.
However, after listening to Bai Chen's words, everyone understood that the original grain price could still operate like this.
"Bai Chen, doesn't that mean that even if the imperial court wants to levy a tax increase of 100 Wen, and then issue a subsidy of 100 Wen, it is okay?"
"Of course you can, but then there will really be no bones left on the grassland. ”
Mr. Qiongda only felt chills all over his body, but the old emperor's eyes lit up when he listened.
"Also, if the VAT and subsidies are raised too high, there will be some businessmen who are deluded and take risks, so don't give those businessmen a loophole. lest our Han and Tang dynasties also get bloody and bloody. ”
"You're right. The old emperor nodded.
The old emperor thought for a moment. He asked again: "Then you can bring down the Taibai Royal Court like this?"
"Didn't Xian'er say it clearly enough before? There are too many ways to raise the taxes of the grassland merchants, increase their capital, and reduce their profits. ”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, right?" the old emperor asked tentatively.
He really wanted to see how Bai Chen had brought down the Taibai Royal Court.
"I'm going to get married in two days, leave this matter to someone else, I don't want to be bloody at the wedding. ”
"Who can figure this out? unless it's a fairy or a stone. Either that's just you. ”
Bai Chen thought for a long time: "Wei Xiang should be able to handle this matter, okay?"
"Wei Rufeng is a talent, but this kind of thing, he hasn't dealt with it at all, I'm afraid there are many details that can't be handled well, don't you keep saying that you want to avenge me?
"Okay, okay, I'll take this matter, but you have to match me with someone, and I'm going to go to southern Xinjiang to meet my relatives soon." These two runs must be too busy, you can get a little weight for me. Facilitate communication. ”
"Don't you have a cell phone?"
"Mobile phones are not a complete substitute for discussions, and some important matters still need to be discussed in person. ”
"What do you think of Wei Rufeng?"
"Wei Xiang is also the prime minister of the Han and Tang Dynasties, let him talk to a hairy boy, no, absolutely not, this matter is going to get out, I guess I will be pointed out by Qianfu. ”
Bai Chen didn't exaggerate, Wei Rufeng's reputation now is not low.
Who doesn't know that in the splendid prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties today, Wei Rufeng can be said to have made great contributions.
If the old emperor is the first emperor of the ages, then Wei Xiang is the first emperor of ancient and modern times.
The old emperor frowned, just as Bai Chen said.
There are a lot of people with weight, but there are really not many people who can really obey Bai Chen's orders.
Those dignitaries and dignitaries in the court, one by one, turned their noses to the sky, and let them obey a little-known boy, it was indeed too embarrassing for them.
But this matter must be handled by someone with weight to convey the meaning of both parties, and at the same time, it must be well-behaved and obedient, where to find it in the capital?
Either the eldest or the third, these two guys were disciplined by Bai Chen's family, and it would be okay if they were to follow Bai Chen.
But the eldest and third are not in the capital, and they all have their own careers now, so it's not easy to call them.
This also made the old emperor embarrassed, but Ling'er shouted at this time: "Father, let the sons follow the master, the sons will definitely be very obedient." ”
Although Ling'er is now being cultivated as a prince, she is indeed very obedient.
But her influence now is obviously not enough, after all, she is too young, and some government decrees come out of Bai Chen's mouth, and she may not be able to implement them well.
This task is simply a microphone, and at the same time, he has a certain amount of power and can handle some affairs on his own.
But if you say it bigger, it is the key responsibility to eliminate Hu.
Without this microphone, or key voice, the plan is likely to fail.
The old emperor glanced at the people in the palace: "Fourth, you come!"
"Father, I'm ...... I'm a prince, let me be with him?"
The fourth child looked reluctant, the old emperor opened his eyes angrily, glared at the fourth child and roared: "Then do you want to abolish you as a prince in my heart?" ”
The fourth head shrank, looked at the old emperor bitterly, and didn't dare to say more.
Obviously, his son is not as good as this kid's status in the old emperor's mind.
This kid can even decide the throne, and the importance of his status in the old emperor's mind can be imagined.
"Then the things in the capital ......" The old emperor looked at Mr. Qiongda again, and looked at Bai Chen with a slight hesitation.
"This old guy mastermind didn't run away, as for the person who instructed him behind his back, Lao Wang, I'll leave this matter to you, don't kill it anyway, other people at will, those people in Tianxianglou, interrogate them casually, if it's okay, let it go." ”
"I'll leave this matter to me, Bai Chen, you just have to go and marry your bride with peace of mind. Wang grinned.
"If you have anything, contact me on your phone. ”
"Yes. Both the old emperor and the old king nodded.
With mobile phones, communication is indeed much easier. Don't look like you used to. You don't have to meet to talk.
Even the old emperor and Wei Rufeng now. Already obsessed with using mobile phones to communicate.
In the middle of the night, I have to exchange phone calls, and some not very important government affairs have to use my mobile phone to communicate.
"This kid will be handed over to you, if he is disobedient, he will beat me to death, anyway, the eldest and the third came over like this. Just leave a whole corpse!" the old emperor said with seriousness on purpose.
The fourth child suddenly remembered that in the first two years, the eldest and third seemed to have disappeared for a while.
And when they came back, it was like a different person.
Whether it is the high-flying boss or the arrogant third, it is like a change of heart.
The fourth child couldn't help but think about it, they couldn't all have been educated in the hands of this kid, right?
Bai Chen glanced at the fourth child, and made eye contact with the old emperor, and the corners of his mouth outlined an arc.
"From here to Miaoling, you can only bring one or two pieces of silver. When you arrive at Miaoling, you will earn a thousand taels of silver. One hundred taels less silver, break one of your legs, less than five hundred taels, old man, I will bring back his whole corpse. ”
"Hmm. The old emperor only replied softly.
The fourth child is not good, except for cold sweat or cold sweat.
"How long does it take to get to Miaoling from here?" the old emperor asked.
"If it's a through train, you can get to your destination in about a day. ”
"Then you make two transfers, drag out the time, and give him three days. ”
The old emperor glanced at the fourth child: "At the beginning, your eldest brother went out with the stone, and with a capital of one million taels, in the territory of Liaowang, he earned 30 million taels of silver a month, and my requirements for you are not very high. ”
The fourth child really wanted to cry without tears, why was he so confused, and he was actually deceived by this old guy.
Now that the throne is not seated, it is in the hands of his ruthless Lao Tzu.
"Bai Chen, when are you going to leave?"
"The eldest and third of your family, as well as the officials of the Ministry of Rites, have already arrived at the Five Poisons Sect, and they sent me a message saying that they are almost in communication and will leave tomorrow. ”
"Is the dowry ready?"
"It's been ready for a long time. ”
"I'm an elder, and it's not good to ...... empty-handed"
"Bai Chen, I'm ...... I don't have as much money as Your Majesty......" Lao Wang is in trouble, he really doesn't know what to send.
Lao Wang has yellow and white things, but if he sends this yellow and white thing, he will lose his face.
Lao Wang cherishes his relationship with Bai Chen very much, and naturally doesn't want to lose face when Bai Chen gets married.
But if you want to talk about strange things, you really can't come up with anything that can make Bai Chen's eyes shine.
Although the thing of giving gifts is to give the heart, it is enough to give the heart.
However, when it comes to this, it is not so easy to convey your heart.
"Bai Chen, what do you like?"
"What I want is the moon in the sky and the stars in the sky. Bai Chen said with a smile.
"Who can get these things. The old emperor scolded with a smile.
"Then I will invite the old man and the old Wang, on my wedding day, to come to my Wuliang Mountain, drink a glass of sake, and talk about the darts of their hearts, and ask for nothing else. ”
Bai Chen sent an invitation to the two of them, Bai Chen didn't plan to do it in a big way, but after all, Agu Qilian was a saint in the minds of the Miao people, and it was impossible for him to do it simply.
If this is simple, then the future will not be easy.
So even Bai Chen didn't dare to be careless, and Bai Chen himself didn't have any experience, so he had to be assisted by those officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Life events, no matter who they are, will be nervous, even Bai Chen is no exception.
Even, Bai Chen felt that he must have suffered from premarital phobia.
"Bai Chen, are you really planning to get married?"
At this time, it was inappropriate to quit killing.
"Nonsense, are you going to stop me?"
"It's not...... I'll just ask, you want to get married, there's no problem at all. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say, have you considered my feelings when you got married?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to spend candle night in the cave room, and a bald monk will enjoy a living spring palace next to you?" (To be continued......)
