Chaos in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 124: Withhold

Views:

There is no such thing as a crack in this thing.

As long as you break through a little bit, it is all broken.

The Wuwei officials had a deep understanding of this. At the beginning, the Li family sent people to count the classified materials. The Wuwei officials put a seal on the side and stamped the official seal, and the words “official selling” were insulting.

However, if you do it for a long time, there will be nothing humiliating or humiliating.

Afterwards, everything went as Qin Meng expected, and the Li family's affairs for the government were spread out, and immediately someone leaned forward like a fly saw blood.

Hearing that the materials were about to be realized, some people were ready to move.

The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit.

What is certain is that the materials received by the government are definitely good, and there is no need to worry about quality problems.

Moreover, count the packaged materials. But it was stamped with the official seal and official seal of the government, and there were also the words official selling.

What is this concept? When you get it, whether you sell it to big merchants or set up a stall, the eye-catching seal and the official handwriting are the guarantee of absolute quality!

Things must ultimately fall into the hands of the people, who do not believe in official certification. Who else can you believe

The quality of the official family is guaranteed, isn't it crazy to sell

As a result, the powerful families in the vicinity of Wuwei all showed their magical powers to build relationships and friendship.

The original backlog is actually not a backlog, and the goods that no one dared to deal with were actually fired. At the highest time, it can be five times the original price!

Cash money is real money.

The officials in Wuwei are no longer numbly reselling supplies, they are more and more like being beaten up. Very addicted and excited to resell supplies.

Qin Meng set the bottom line. Public property is not allowed to be his own, privately sold to make the difference, and prices are not allowed to drive up to five times the original price. They should be stopped immediately and coordinated with the official standards for coordinating private financial disputes. Everyone profited from it.

The Lin family of Qinghe, because of their great help to the Wuwei area, cannot forget their contributions. Therefore, the merchants in this side must be given some care.

Everything is operating under open and transparent standards.

In less than a month, when the official documents approved for operation above arrived, the confiscated materials were basically emptied.

The big guy calculated the discounted money, which was more than twice the original estimated price.

Qin Meng asked Yang Guang to do the concrete work, deducting the 20% difference from the estimate as a loss and going to Wuwei Small Treasury.

Then count the manpower used in the operation process, after deduction, it is the amount to be reported.

The report is a report, but it does not mean that all of it is turned over to the court. First, 20% is deducted. Half of it is regarded as Wuwei local official expenses, used to select officials to pay for the salary of officials, and there are a lot of hidden expenses.

One and a half is for Wuwei local urban defense costs.

This is a normal throttling, and no one can say anything.

The small vaults that can be intercepted can be tricky in distribution.

Qin Meng was not a bit shy, and sent Bing Jing to officials at all levels, including Yang Guang, that is, the cost required to relieve the heat in summer, everyone has a share, and this is all at a uniform price.

Then there are various subsidies. For example, so many things in Wuwei are all run out by officials, and the boots are worn out. This can't be borne by the individual, right

The official uniform is also depreciated and damaged in the super office, should it be subsidized? Officials sometimes need to travel outside to contact them, and the expenses for carriages and horses must always be settled, right? Travel subsidies also came into being.

Officials are too busy to eat every day. Can you get something delicious, right? This requires food subsidies.

A series of jaw-dropping subsidies are counted out, and officials at the Guanxiang level get a hundred taels of silver, and there are also dozens of taels for the low-ranking officials.

Officials who are so busy that they almost vomit blood have reasonably and legally received so much income, that excitement definitely comes from the heart.

In the past, the wars were messed up by the Turkic people, and they were exhausted, not to mention extra income, and they had to be trained or even punished if they didn't do well.

Now, there is money, still so much money!

What's the tiring point? Didn’t the little boss say that we are doing things that benefit the country, the people, and ourselves. We have credit and money. Where can we find such a good thing

When the officials were tired, thinking about this, they immediately regained their energy without urging them. Turn around and devote himself to the still hot border trade work.

Entering into the end of June, the fiery momentum of Wuwei border trade has not diminished, on the contrary, it has become more and more intense.

There was news from Changsun Sheng that most of the Turkic Apo Khan, after a period of understanding, deliberately traded with the Sui Dynasty, bartering goods and special products of this department in exchange for food and other crops in the Sui Dynasty.

When Qin Meng received the news, he dared not neglect, and hurriedly gathered Wuwei officials to discuss this matter together.

It was still Qin Meng's old ministry Tuduo who sent people to pass on the message.

Before the discussion, Qin Meng asked Tuduo to introduce the situation of Abo Khan.

According to Tudor, the Apo Khan part is a large Turkic tribe with nearly 100,000 people under its jurisdiction.

Abo Khan was brave, and when he repeatedly invaded the land of the Great Sui Dynasty, he did a lot of credit and robbed a lot of things for the Shabolue Khan.

But Apo Khan is this person. He is savvy and capable. He will not obey the instructions of Shabolue Khan. For several times, they disagree with Shabolue Khan, have quarreled fiercely, and then withdraw his tribe directly from the battle. .

Through in-depth exchanges with Apo Khan, Chang Sun Sheng found that he still had a deep sense of awe for Da Sui, so he persuaded him to make friends with Da Sui.

Everyone knows the dangerous living environment of the grassland, but it is not only possible to rely on robbery. There are also many things on the grassland, which the people of the Central Plains like, and they have worked hard to accumulate. Exchanging the necessities of life with the people of the Central Plains can also survive very well.

Apo Khan moved his heart, and sent someone to Wuwei with the small Turkic people to observe and inquire, and found that Changsun Sheng's words were not exaggerated, and he strengthened his determination to go to the border trade.

However, with such a large transaction, Apo Khan was worried that there would be mistakes. If too many people were sent over, he was worried that Da Sui would think that he was guilty and raise troops to greet him. If there are few people and so many materials in the transaction, it is hard to guarantee that there will be an accident.

Changsun Sheng asked Tuduo to send a letter, suggesting that Qin Meng could ventilate with Yang Lintong and discuss the solution. After all, if most of the Apo Khan fell to the Great Sui, the impact on other Turkic tribes would be extremely far-reaching.

After listening to the Wuwei officials, they turned their eyes to Qin Meng and Yang Guang.

Don't look at these two being the youngest, but whether it is ability or means. They are all convincing.

Yang Guang smiled and said, "My sirs, what do you think the chief and me are doing? Since the chief has called everyone to discuss matters, of course they can speak freely so that they can brainstorm."

Guan Xiang thought for a while and said, "Two adults, the humble duty thinks like this. Although the Apo Part 1 has brought a lot of transactions. But what he said is reasonable, it will bring a lot of manpower, and there will be a lot of iron guard . We must be based on the safety of Wuwei as the first priority before we can conduct transactions."

Li Ying said, "Master Guan said that there are Master Qin and the second camp of Jian Zi, and Wuwei is safe, but here is a strong place for border trade. It is not just us Central Plains, Turkic people, but also many others. People from the Western Regions, once a conflict occurs, they will fight, and they will lose more than their lives and property."

Other officials also expressed their opinions. The core issue is similar to that of Guan Xiang and Li Yingdu. The impression of Turkic people is too bad. There are so many people all at once and seeing so many good products traded here, who knows Will you be upset and grab it directly

Qin Meng was in Wuwei, and everyone was not worried that he would not be able to beat each other.

But the problem is that the border trade fair is in such a mess, not to mention the damage to the business travel goods, or the loss of life, the popular popularity that Wuwei has finally accumulated will collapse in an instant.

Combining the opinions of Guan Xiang and others, it is to expand the trading location one hundred miles north, leaving enough buffer space, even if the Turkic people are in trouble, they can quickly make corresponding adjustments if they get the news.

Qin Meng was silent for a long time after listening to everyone's discussion, and suddenly said to Yang Guang, "Yang Sheng. What are your ideas?"

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Sir, if we set up another location northward, safety is certainly safe. But no matter how you look at it, it means a little guard against the other party. Moreover, this kind of defense shows that we are a little guilty of our own combat power, and we are vainly aspiring to others. , Destroy one's prestige."

Qin Meng smiled: "How can it be?"

Yang Guangdao: "The chief once said that when the border trade began, he would raise my prestige. However, the border trade was so hot that it exceeded everyone's expectations and failed to demonstrate the braveness of the Sui Dynasty in sweeping the wasteland. Now, it is just right to take advantage of the arrival of Abo. I have a great style of Sui Erlang, thinking of the Turkic cavalry, I must have the heart to snatch, but I have no guts."

Qin Meng laughed loudly: "What Yang Sheng said is very much in line with my intentions. Guan Xiang Li Ying, you two will take over the Wuwei government affairs, with Guan Xiang as the main task, and Li Ying as the supplementary. You will immediately release the list of goods needed by Abo No. Once, let’s benefit the people and only take a 10% tax rate."

Guan Xiang Li Ying quickly got up and took his orders.

Qin Meng looked at Yang Guangdao: "Yang Sheng, you put down your government affairs and take full command of all the troops stationed in Wuwei, just outside Wuwei City. Find a good trading location, choose two thousand strong men, and take out all our latest equipment to maintain transaction security. Humph. , Lao Tzu doesn't believe it anymore. In front of two thousand strong men, who has the courage to plunder the things here?"

Yang Guang handed his hand and said yes, but he asked again: "Sir, Apo came here, not to mention that he came out of the nest, but also the elite. We are not afraid to fight, but in terms of etiquette, I may need the officer himself. It's greet."

Qin Meng coldly snorted: "Who is Abo? It's just a tribe of khan. I am the highest official of the Shangbang region. You can do this for such trivial matters. Also, the low taxes and fees collected are all Put it under the name of Wuwei and use it to meet the expenses of Abo. Of course, the big guys can misappropriate this part of the money, repair the government office, wear a new official uniform, and change into a new sedan chair. It’s all right." (End of this chapter)
