Chapter 132 Negotiations

Is Ouyang busy? Actually, it is not busy. The county has completed the division of labor, including those who manage industry and commerce, those who manage agriculture, schools, sanitation, transportation, etc., and so on. The general manager of these special personnel is Gan Xin. The general manager of the attack on rape and stealing, public security, etc. is the general manager of Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming is also the boss of the Sanqianxiang Army and the affairs of the military factory.

The Xiang army was stationed in the remote suburbs, more than eight miles away from the county town, and about two miles away from the military factory. A village was formed here, and all kinds of small vendors transported supplies to make a small amount of money. The Xiang army here was more affordable than other places. In addition to food and accommodation, they also had a consistent monthly salary. Most of the three thousand people were recruited, and a small number of about a hundred people were transferred from Zhan Ming to the state. No one expected that the treatment of the Xiang army here would be so good that many Xiang army in the state began to rely on their relationship and wanted to squeeze into the Yangpingxiang army.

Most of the Xiangjuns are refugees. Apart from the consumption, few people will send money. This consumption is closely related to Yangping, which is a strategy for a prosperous economy that Ouyang calls. Now Yangping’s current problem is that there are too many people applying for household registration. The earliest people who stipulated that they had skills were those who had crafts, and then they were able to read and craftsmanship. But now, Gan Xin saw that these two conditions were too relaxed. If they continued to develop like this, Yangping might have to expand. Although the increase in the population is a good thing, on the other hand, it is also a bad thing. The number of yamen runners must increase in proportion, and they must also provide places for these people to live and jobs. Now many locals are dissatisfied, and their job opportunities are taken up by foreigners. In view of this, Gan Xin issued a notice and will not settle within two months.

As soon as Ouyang returned to the yamen, he was blocked by Gan Xin and Zhan Ming before he could settle Liang Hongyu.

Gan Xin said politely: "Is your body okay?"

"fine"

Then Gan Xin said the main topic: "Recently, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. The most important thing is the household registration matter. Now there are several troubles. The most important thing is that the trend of transferring households among the people is very serious. Yangping men get married with women from other places. After a few days of settlement, the men divorce their wives, and the women get married with men from other places. After just changing, there are more than two people in one household, and then they come to the yamen openly to apply for work subsidies, and then rob locals of their jobs. I have broken the law but I can't find any explanation."

"..." Ouyang smiled bitterly, "Agriculture is transferred to non-agricultural. This is the consequence of the different resources allocation in his county than other places. In modern times, it is called illegal immigration, but they are all places in the Song Dynasty. If you can get a temporary residence permit, you will be decisive. Can you still expel others from the country?

"Officials, I'm afraid I have to talk to the patriarchs." Liang Hongyu said on the side.

Well... this is a good way to deal with it, but it is not what he wants. Ouyang wants to make Yangping a legal area. Even if other issues can be adjusted, it can be done by using policy adjustments. This is what he has thought about, but it will invisibly increase the influence of the patriarch and make him an illegal law enforcement agency. In feudal society, the power of the clan is strong and united, and even becomes a belief. The rampant gentry of aristocratic clans is not unrelated to this reality. Ouyang shook his head gently and said, "Let's do this, implement the green card system. Foreigners meet the conditions to enter Yangping, give residence permits, and treat them basically the same as local people, but do not enjoy some benefits. After living for five years, those with outstanding contributors will give their houses plus household registration, and give them three quotas to enter the household.

Gan Xinhan said: "Sir, this is a good method. But the yamen is not in enough staff. If you divide another department, wouldn't you want to recruit another person? Many people have already had opinions on the salary of the yamen runners. Now the number of people has reached the job of Shouzhou. The magistrate has left a message to make the yamen restrain himself a little."

"Each street has a neighborhood committee, and the aunts and uncles are responsible for it. The wages can be paid less or not. The fines for urination and defecation can be handed over to them. At the same time, it is responsible for the investigation of suspicious population in their own area. The bonus for catching bad people is theirs. Anyway, the bonus is paid by the Ministry of Justice. Instead of letting them chat about news freely, it is better to find something for them to do."

"This is a solution." Gan Xinxi said: "These aunts are smarter than some yamen runners. Their chatting skills can chat with the three generations of their ancestors. And they can also divide the work of some of our departments."

"Haha, let me introduce it formally, Liang Hongyu..."

Zhan Ming said: "Sir, we have 1.13 million people who read the newspaper. Zhan Ming has met Mrs. Ru."

Liang Hongyu's face was a little burning and said, "Just abruptly just now, don't laugh with brother-in-law and Lord Gan."

Gan Xin said: "Madam Ru is not familiar with the style of the Yangping County Government, so how can she get the abrupt saying?"

Zhan Ming said: "Sir, the second batch of weapons has been on the road. I have sent 300 wing troops and 20 yamen runners to escort them. I guess I can reach Liaobian in half a month. The third batch is expected to be on the road in mid-next month. In addition, you should pay more attention to safety. I guess the Jin people have not succeeded in assassination, so I am afraid they will not be willing to give up."

Ouyang asked in confusion: "Isn't it really a personal grudge? Then why not assassinate the emperor?"

"One other ship will usually bring this unsigned letter when it comes back to the sun. Please read it, sir."

Ouyang took it and saw it. It was Chinese characters. The above roughly means that it analyzed why Wanyan Aguda killed Ouyang. There are several reasons. First, the Tokyo Construction Bureau has existed for decades, but such easy-to-use weapons have never appeared. The Yangping Military Factory was established in one year, which shows Ouyang's ability. Second, Ouyang and the Liao Kingdom have close ties, and weapons aid directly reflect his attitude. Also, Ouyang was a person who firmly joined forces with Liao and Jin to resist Jin. He has a strong influence on both Liao Temple and Song Temple. Third, it is possible to know from the changes in Yangping's trade goods to Jin.

Dao Ouyang is very sensitive to the real threat of the Jin Kingdom. He has a close relationship with the Si family, so he may have follow-up measures. If he does not eliminate it, it is impossible to eliminate it. Fourth, the royal newspaper in charge is slowly inciting the anti-Jin sentiment of the Song people and deteriorating the image of the Jurchens. In summary, Ouyang is a very energetic anti-Jinister. Moreover, Ouyang has been an official for a few years. If he goes to the temple in the future, the consequences may be unimaginable. Therefore, he will kill this person. The letter also said that Wanyan Aguda compared Ouyang to a 100,000 iron cavalry. But strangely, the letter only mentioned two assassins, who were male, and did not say that Wanyan Lan would participate in the assassination.

The final letter said that the Jurchens are now very afraid of firearms and may not start any more war this year.

Zhan Ming said: "I think this person's identity is important, so this letter has not been leaked. Sir, I think that at least two people should be assigned to daily travel. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide guns, but difficult to prevent hidden arrows, so it is better to be careful."

Ouyang shook his head: "After all, the traffic between Jin and Song is blocked, it is probably not that easy to send assassins. Besides, if you send you to the Jin Kingdom to assassinate an official, how likely do you succeed? I guess you were suspected to be a spy halfway through."

Zhan Ming nodded and said, "But sir, be careful."

"Yeah, did Wanyan Lan catch it?"

"No, all prefectures and counties near Tokyo have set up chucks, but no traces have been found. I guess she has escaped into the mountains and the Jurchens have been hunting since childhood, so they will definitely not worry about starving to death. In addition, in autumn, I am afraid that they are waiting for the wind to pass and sneak back to the Jin Kingdom."

Ouyang sighed: "I am most worried that she will not leave. This woman is a little stubborn. To be honest, I don't want to see her body. I just hope she will run back to Jinguo soon and everyone will not see each other again."

Gan Xin said: "The road is tired, so you should rest with Mrs. Ru first."

"kindness"

After entering the inner hall, Ou Ping welcomed him at home. He first cared about Ouyang's injuries, and then looked at Liang Hongyu and whispered: "Young Master, is it worth it?"

Ouyang smiled and said, "You don't think Huilan's two thousand guan are worth it."

Ou Ping smiled and said, "I'll let someone burn some hot water."

"Well, too, you urge me to take advantage of the Liao horse, and the price is low, and it's almost gone. I still owe the gunpowder money to the state."

"Don't worry, Master, I know it in my heart."

When he arrived at the inner room, Liang Hongyu asked, "By the way, I have always wanted to ask, what is the Hanseatic League."

Hanseatic League? Ouyang thought about it. It was weakened from the resistance of all European rulers in the 12th to 14th and 15th centuries, and died in the 16th century. It was a European commercial alliance based on Germany. It had alliance armed forces and once defeated Denmark for a strong trade treaty. The alliance monopolized all trade in the Baltic Sea. It also set up commercial stations in all coastal cities along London in the west and ended in the east to Novgorod.

Its strength is quite terrible. It can use armed forces in alliance cities to forcibly force other countries to sign trade treaties. The purpose is to crack down on pirates, crack down on plundering and cancel unreasonable tolls and other acts of protecting business, and to expand commercial power overseas, monopolize commercial interests, and suppress German cities outside the alliance and commercial competition from the United Kingdom, Russia and Flanders. Then the alliance builds its own navy in order to open up the trade line. There is also rule interaction between cities. A alliance city, Germans commit crimes in the British alliance. If they feel that the trial is unreasonable,

, it can be proposed to retrial in any alliance city. The size and wealth of all European rulers are afraid. For example, the Hanseatic League influences the candidates for successors to the throne of Denmark and Sweden. The British king even mortgaged the crown to the Hanseatic merchants for loans more than once, or borrowed fleets and seamen from their central government. In the end, the alliance merchants were hated by other merchants, and all countries also united to suppress the alliance. At the same time, various countries encouraged pirates to attack the alliance ships, and even changed their own fleets to pirate fleets to weaken their power. In the end, Napoleon launched a fatal blow to the alliance.

Of course Ouyang would not copy it, but the Hanseatic Alliance really reminded him. We cannot only expose Yangping, but to drive the whole Song Dynasty to develop business together. We cannot only start with merchants, but also from local officials. For example, Hangzhou New City is to install a point. The new city commercial exhibition is to allow the magistrate to benefit. Then everyone slowly imitated it and subtly moved it, not without it. For example, Yangping's currency exchanges, most of which were sent by states or counties to escort the escort.

"Official?" Liang Hongyu asked, "Doesn't I ask?"

"This is still being conceived, and it is very complicated to explain, and it is not something I can explain. The water is almost done, so you go and take a shower first."

"kindness"

Although the ruler is not vigilant yet, it does not mean that he will not be vigilant in the future. This basin is fire, and it may burn him. Ouyang lay on the chair of the Taishi, thinking that the focus is still on war. The war between the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and the war against the Western Xia that Song was about to begin. If you cannot lose, it will be difficult to come again if you lose.

Liang Hongyu came back after taking a shower. Seeing Ouyang staring at her, she turned against her original generosity, and smiled shyly and lowered her head without saying anything. Ouyang smiled and picked her up and walked into the dormitory: "Wait for me to come back on the bed."

"..." Liang Hongyu didn't say anything and nodded.

Take a bath, close the door. The specific content is omitted by 1.8 million words...

When the window was tidying up the clouds, she put yellow flowers in front of the mirror. Ouyang sat behind Liang Hongyu and gently combed his scattered head: "Let's see when I'll take you back to my hometown."

"..." Liang Hongyu shook her head lightly and said, "Official, I want to buy a few miserable people as maids?"

"Yeah?" Ouyang asked: "Isn't it good now?"

"There are some things that are not convenient for outsiders to know. The maid I bought won't talk nonsense when I see what I can't see. You don't know. Now the servants in the mansion have some contact with the outsiders. When I talk about the servants, I realize that she has the problem of listening to the corner of the wall. It's better to say anything else, if other words are spread, it may not be appropriate."

"Yeah, it makes sense."

"The official actually doesn't have to be so kind to me. If the assassination is successful, the official will inevitably be implicated."

Ouyang chuckled and said, "I think about it afterwards. You have served two dishes, why don't you keep taking action? You have to use your crossbow in your hand. Not to mention Cai Xiang, it is probably impossible to kill the lord."

"I've been in Yangping for two months and have been watching the actions of the officials. I have also heard that some people in the court are looking for trouble for the officials. I originally planned that the officials would be punished at most, but at least the magistrate of Yangping may not be able to do it. So I've been hesitant in and out."

"You have a strange plan and extraordinary courage and courage. Are you wronged when you follow me as the magistrate?"

"You are kind to me, so how can you say wronged?" Liang Hongyu closed her eyes and enjoyed Ouyang's review: "I know you are just grateful for my life-saving grace, not really wanting to marry me. But I didn't tell you that I was a wife, and I was willing to comb my head so carefully, and I appreciate the tenderness in it."

"If you like it, I will help you sort it out every day." Ouyang said: "There is another point. You saved me. I have never thanked you because you are my wife. You have to do your job. You don't need to thank you."

Liang Hongyu chuckled with a slight chuckling: "I like to listen to this, whether it is true or false."

...

There was no wine after the bridal chamber, but Ou Ping and others were much more polite to Liang Hongyu. Liang Hongyu did not treat Ou Ping as an outsider. He did not go to Liu Huilan for help, but helped to take care of the housework and gradually became familiar with Ouyang's character of dealing with people and affairs. Liu Huilan was very happy that Liang Hongyu stayed there after all. Zhan Ming and Gan Xin and others did not comment. The only thing Ouyang was dissatisfied was that although Liang Hongyu came from a military camp, he still paid some attention to etiquette. Ouyang asked her to take her mother over, but Liang Hongyu said that it was okay to live in a small house, and it was not suitable to live for a long time. He just bought a small house nearby and went to take a look if he had nothing to do.

A few days later, Wanyan Lan still had no news, as if she had disappeared from the world. News came from Tokyo, and the living assassin could not stand the sternness. This matter was indeed the assassin instructed by Wanyan Aguda to carry out the assassination. It was targeted by Ouyang, and Wanyan Lan's joining was very accidental. She secretly followed the two of them on the boat. Wanyan Lan's brother was already dead. It was thought that Wanyan Lan took the account to Ouyang and killed her brother. She could not accept such a thing, so she volunteered to come and assassinate Ouyang. She would not pay attention to Ouyang's argument that the consequences caused by the weapons.

Ouyang's financial crisis has been alleviated because of the transactions of the Liao horses. Later, the Liao Dynasty's later payments, money or goods came in batches, and money is no longer a problem.

Three participants from the Yangping Business Association and the imperial trade negotiation meeting, Su Qian, Ouyang and Zhang Xuanming.

Su Qianyi knew that he had done a lot of homework on Xixia: "The terrain of Xixia is flat, and the agricultural affairs in Liangzhou and Guazhou are very good. Although it is done in Han affairs, the weather is good, and the land is fertile and the per capita planting area is large, and the grain price is only 40% of that in the Song Dynasty. If these two places can be occupied, the business association can buy and seize land in large quantities. The cheap local workers are a great advantage. Then the grain is processed and transported internally, and the profit is quite considerable. The north of Hengshan and the Hexi Corridor are the places where Xixia is heavy on animal husbandry.

As far as I know, except for the imperial court enclosing a small piece of land to raise horses, other areas are homeless and free grazing. This place has ten times the profit. The wool spinning, salt harvesting, papermaking, gold and silver manufacturing, jade processing and other industries in Xixia were slightly behind the Song Dynasty, let alone the Yangping craftsmanship, which has great potential. In addition, in Liao, Jin and Xixia, Xixia was the only country that made its own coins. Once the Yangping money house entered, it could distinguish between loan deposits, depreciate currency, use Xixia coins to shop, and use Song coins to sell goods, and return to each other, and the benefits were quite high."

Zhang Xuanming said: "In the alliance of Chanyuan, Song lost 100,000 taels of Liao silver and 200,000 pieces of silk every year. Song and Xia peace talks, Song gave 72,000 taels of Xia silver, 30,000 kilograms of tea and 153,000 pieces of silk every year. President Su, this currency is probably more than Song coins. Alas... the court is so peaceful. I hope that once a certain place is occupied, the Yangping Business Association can follow up quickly, maintain local stability, and Chineseize the Dangxiang people."
