Chaos in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 126: How the unspoken rules are formed

Views:

Yang Guang hurriedly bowed respectfully, waiting for Qin Meng's instructions.

Although Yang Guang knew that the officer might not be able to speak at any time, he was still caught by thunder.

"Our transaction with Apo this time, for our Da Sui people, the tax rate is very low. If we eliminate the cost of our manpower and the cost of declaring force, we can't make any money at all. No, you can't do business that loses money. You have to make a fortune no matter what. In this way, you can discuss with Guan Xiang and make a fortune from Apo.

Yang Guangwei said: "Sir, this, I'm afraid this is not easy to operate, right? Our tax rate here is one out of ten. For the Turkic side, is it necessary to increase the tax rate?"

Qin Meng's eyes glared: "Improving the tax rate? Is that our style? Fairness is the most important thing in business dealings. We should treat the Turks and the people of the Sui Dynasty equally! However, we are the army of the Sui Dynasty. Protection is great. People in Sui, that is an obligation to protect Turkic people, shouldn't they charge a fee?"

Yang Guang felt a little awkward when he heard it, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Qin Meng continued: "Our folks and elders enjoy the protection of our military. They are also supported by taxation. Why should the Turkic people come and they will not pay this part of the tax if they are protected? This is not to belittle our own people and uphold the Turks. people?"

Listening to this analysis, Yang Guang felt more and more reasonable.

Qin Meng slapped his thigh and said: "Yang Guang, we are entrusted by the court to serve the sage and strive to be comprehensive. Let us not discriminate against others because of the lack of education in Turks. We must treat them equally. How do we treat our fathers and villagers? Just how to treat the Turkic people, the so-called Rong Di Yuanfang, if you come, you will be at ease, and Sri Lanka will say so.

Yang Guangnao Guazi turned a little and said, "Sir. Could it be that the Turkic people are treated as the same as the people of the Sui people, and they are charging Turkic people with other taxes and fees?"

"Well, it's up to you and Guan to discuss the results. In short, the excuse I want you to find is to be tall enough, and I want to see the silver. As for how you do it, I don't care."

Yang Guang felt a little difficult to handle, and he asked after a while: "Sir, can you give me a hint?"

Qin Meng's eyes opened again: "This chief just confesses things, you just do it. You have to think about any method, do you want to exhaust this chief? I've said it all, let you discuss with Guan Xiang and listen. Don’t you understand? This chief only has rewards and punishments.

Yang Guang really wanted to slap himself. Qin Meng's virtue is not the first day he has seen it.

Without asking this sentence, in the end, I still have to do something, and I got a training for nothing.

Yang Guang thinks about it, let's go to Guan Xiang as soon as possible.

Guan Xiang is inferior to Yang Guang in strategizing and commanding the overall situation.

But when it comes to a specific government affair, how to use the rules reasonably, and to do things that can perfectly avoid the rules, Guan Xiang is the old loach.

Guan Xiang couldn't help complaining a little after listening to Yang Guang's statement. Qin Meng obviously wanted to be that thing, but also want to stand up.

Complaints fall into complaints, and things still have to be dealt with.

Guan Xiang quickly thought of his idea. Don't you Qin Meng want to be tall

Well, under the guise of good-neighborly friendship, I will take over all the transactions for Apo.

Most Turkic and Central Plains people do not understand the language. In order to prevent the occurrence of profiteers and friendly Turkic people, what do you want, tell us, we have officials who can take you directly to the trading venue you need. .

All transactions are under control. Isn’t it easy to want to play a bit of yin

The specific operation concept of Guanxiang is like this. After the arrival of Abo No.1, it will first charge 10% at the same tax rate as the Da Sui People's Business.

Then, in the course of the transaction, another 10% is collected invisibly.

This 10% is not collected directly from the transaction process, but the people in the Sui Dynasty who have taken care of the transaction in advance. If you do business with Turkic people, I will send someone to help you slaughter more, and then you will give me some rebates. It is tantamount to making money from Turkic people in disguise and subsidizing our people.

Yang Guang listened and sighed, these middle- and lower-level officials are really capable people. No matter what kind of strict government orders are issued, they can always make holes for you. It doesn't show bravery, but it's also a brazen execution. Things come.

Moreover, Turkic people will feel respected. Because someone will help you. The common people will also feel that they have benefited. After all, our government earns money from the Turkic people, not from the common people. With such low taxes and fees, the government unites the common people to pit the Turkic people.

It's good to make a fortune and lose everything. It is estimated that Qin Meng's weird officer can come out with the same weird subordinates.

It seemed to Yang Guang that such a thing was a little difficult to operate, but there was no problem with Guan Xiang.

I was still looking for Li Ying and told Qin Meng’s idea that he wanted to make a fortune from the Turkic people, and then through Li’s family, he found the owner of the bulk goods, and made the matter very cryptic. As a merchant, who doesn’t know this What's going around inside

As a result, the unspoken rules were silently settled in this exchange.

Qin Meng had confessed everything, but he wasn't throwing his hand at the shopkeeper, he didn't care about anything after he really explained it.

Just kidding, this involves the emperor's national policy. The first business contact with the Turkic tribe, when things come up, you can't just shake the pot if you want to.

For Yang Guang, Qin Meng absolutely trusted his ability, but he still gave him some supplementary suggestions.

Yang Guang continued to improve his plan according to Qin Meng's points, and all the exercises were proficient, and he waited for the arrival of Abo.

At the beginning of July, a messenger from Abo No. 1 arrived in Wuwei and conveyed Abo Khan's message.

Apo brought 10,000 people from his headquarter, countless cattle, sheep and goods, to the Great Sui Wuwei for trade transactions.

Because of the long distance. Worried about accidents on the road, there are soldiers escorted by the team.

I hope that Wuwei will not be nervous because of the appearance of Turkic fighters, which are purely protecting their own things and have no intention of starting a war.

Qin Meng was very gentle and asked the messenger to reply to Apo. Today's saints want to be kind and prestigious and treat the Turks like brothers in arms and legs.

However, the people were disturbed by the war and frightened at the sight of the sword. If they disturbed the people and fled one after another, there will be no border trade, which will inevitably hurt the peace of both sides.

In consideration of the friendship between the two sides, Wuwei is acting as the prefecture and defending the city to defend Yang Sheng, and choose a good place outside Wuwei City to facilitate the Turkic headquarters to station and trade. Please don't think too much about the Turkic headquarters. It is purely for the convenience of both parties.

Qin Meng agreed. In order to show that the Sui party attaches great importance to the friendly trade between the two sides, a very grand welcome ceremony will be adopted to welcome friends on the grassland.

At that time, Wuwei will act as the county guard Jiancheng defender Yang Sheng, and will lead Wuwei elite soldiers out of the city to greet him.

Don’t Turks naturally admire warriors? If you welcome friendly Turkic people, you should be greeted by the most elite warriors of the Great Sui, and please don't think too much about Abo. It's purely friendly.

After three days, the scouts from the city defense station reported that Apo Part 1 had reached two hundred miles outside the city.

Yang Guang gave an order, leading Jianqi Yiqian, Haohao **** marched to the planned meeting place.

A group of prestigious officials all left the city and waited at the boundary designated by Yang Guang. After all, this time it was Apo Khan who came in person, and the officials didn't leave the city, feeling a little insincere.

Qin Meng led a few officers on the top of the northern city gate, standing at the highest point, observing everything outside the city.

Yang Guang took away young military officers like Wei Liang, Da Xihao, Dou Luyuan, and old men like Xie Yun, Zhou Lie, and Wei Da, who would follow Qin Meng at any time. They could immediately follow Qin Meng if they found something wrong. Lead the soldiers on standby and fight out to meet Yang Guang and his party.

The Jianqi who went out of the city all put on brand-new outfits. They were very energetic guys, and put on new costumes, making them even more mighty.

The trip this time was not for war, so they didn't carry too many weapons, only hid the war knife under the saddle.

One thousand strong rides, four hundred flags, an average of less than three people have a two-meter-high flag.

From a distance, four hundred banners fluttered. Let a thousand teams appear to have an organization of nearly ten thousand scales.

Bright, eye-catching, really magnificent!

Yang Guang stopped at the expected place, and was notified to Apo Part One.

Hearing the news, Apo urged people to come to meet the crowd.

The two communicated the names of their officials, and Yang Guang smiled and waved: "Abo Khan, please accept this official, on behalf of the fierce enthusiasm expressed to you by Emperor Sui.

Along with Yang Guang's wave of his hand, an explosion resounding across the sky came from Wuwei's direction.

The sound made Turkic war horses screaming and screaming. Seeing that they were in danger of being frightened, Apo and his men quickly sacked their horses to appease the restless war horses.

"Master Yang. Why is this?" Apo asked alertly like a wolf.

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Apo Khan is the most heroic warrior on the grassland. Of course, he will receive the warmest welcome from my Da Sui. The sound just now is a shocking thunder developed by my parents to deal with the Turkic horses. Now the Turks and the Great Sui is friendly. I will never use such a thunder weapon to deal with friends. I will use it to express to Changshengtian. The Great Sui Turkic should always be good-neighborly and friendly. Apo Khan, I don’t know that my parents will welcome you with a secret weapon. , Can it express enough sincerity?"

Apo was born with a big waist and a round waist, and his body was full of sturdy energy, but between Gu and Pan, he gave a very cunning impression.

He rolled his eyes and nodded: "It's so best. I'm also worried that there may be grievances in the hearts of both parties. This time I see Da Sui's sincerity, and I feel relieved."

Yang Guang stretched out his hand and made a request: "Abo Khan, please."

Abo followed Yang Guang and walked along with him. Looking at the 1,000 Jianqies Yang Guang brought, he felt a little bit chilling. He had fought against Da Sui countless times, and at a glance, he knew the strength of his opponent.

Silently calculated, Apo felt that the ten thousand people he brought would really have to clash with each other. I am afraid that the superiority in numbers is not enough to make up for the huge gap in the combat power of the two sides. From the eyes of the Jian knights It can be seen that only the warriors who have fought countless fierce battles and crawled out of the sea of blood can have this look.

Just when Apo was distracted, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded. Apo almost didn't scream when he saw the scene in front of him! (End of this chapter)
