Nei Jinzhou can ignore the officials of the Political Affairs Hall. He doesn't care about the senior officials of the Clan Affairs Office, but among the people in the court, there is one person who is Liu Bin, a transshipment commander of the Hehexi who he dared not easily offend, and his future father-in-law.

Looking at the future of an imperial official, you can tell by looking at the frequency of conversations between noble ladies. In the past year, the name "Liu Shi" has appeared more and more at lunch and tea parties. At the beginning, noble ladies privately discussed it as a conservative old-school figure, and even ridiculed him for marrying his daughter to Cheng Jinzhou, and came out of some ridiculous idea of ​​misplaced marriage. Some people even thought that he was preparing for a retreat was actually a more reliable guess. But with the improvement of the one-star sorcerer, two-star sorcerer, and three-star sorcerer of Cheng Jinzhou, the direction of noble ladies' chat changed instantly.

In fact, the noble ladies are the most sensitive political group in the entire Daxia. Especially in the capital. The more invitations a certain minister's wife receives, the greater the possibility that her husband will be promoted. To a certain extent, the shadow cabinet composed of noble ladies also truly affects the Sunshine cabinet, and it is not an exaggeration to call the two sides complement each other.

Now, the number of noble ladies coming to Shaonan and Nanling has increased significantly. Many important families in the capital have sent their female relatives to Shaonan and Nanling to visit relatives for a thousand years. The relationship between high-ranking nobles is complicated. Each generation of dozens of descendants and wives can always find several blood-related people.

At this time, the Cheng family's identity will play a role.

For example, the old lady of the Cheng family served the queen in the palace and was awarded the title of Marquis. The Cheng family, who had such experience in the capital, was more likely to be recognized by the aristocratic group. If this were not the case, it would be difficult for families who were regarded as unfamiliar families to make a living in the aristocratic circle. Even those aristocratic families with noble families but had not become noble families, it would be very difficult to rise at one time.

The whole society is like a cocoon. Many people have the ability to break this cocoon, but there are too few people who have to pull it into a silk thread for their own use.

There are many high-level star sorcerers in history, including Jiang Huang Xing Jing, Liu Kuang Xing Jing and An Feng Xing Jing, but many families have not risen because of this. On the one hand, the star sorcerers are unwilling to spend their energy on family development, and in addition, there are also the arrogance of the nobles, which is often free from life and death and interests.

Think about those nobles who did not hesitate on the battlefield and charged forward with arrows that would surely die; think about those nobles who did not hesitate in the court and wrote a letter with threats of death; think about those nobles who did not hesitate on the expedition and struggled forward without hesitation on the mud of death. In the feudal dynasty, the nobles were the main educated groups, the natural citizens of the kingdom, the backbone and spirit of the country.

When the nobles talk about population mobility, it actually means that many civilians do not have a strong sense of nationality. Not counting as poverty-stricken Northern Han and Daliang in the war, there were many residents of Daxia who moved to Jingnan. To a certain extent, the price of the patriotic sentiments of civilians in the feudal era was lower, although everyone's patriotic sentiments may have prices.

The nobles assume more responsibilities, and the nobles have perfect rights. Even Cheng Jinzhou is used to such a world division and division.

When the nobles say "no" to dissidents, the astral warlock has the ability to destroy them on the throne, but cannot replace them spiritually.

Zhao Ling believes that in the world where aristocrats exist, any problem can be solved.

Gao Tanglong did not say that Cheng Jinzhou was moved, but his appearance gave the court the opportunity to return to the negotiating table. Zhao Ling even brought Liu Bin to him and prepared to give him the title of Transportation Envoy of the Four Provinces.

The smartest thing about Zhao Ling is that he did not appear in Shaonan and De'an at all, but kept telling and directing others to influence the development of the situation.

Since only Liu Bin appeared, Cheng Jinzhou had to go to greet him in a regular manner, and even prepared a good room for him to rest. All the nobles of Daxia were staring at him. Lijin at the port was a matter of public affairs, and the way of dealing with people was a matter of personal quality.

Liu Bin naturally knew Cheng Jinzhou’s mind, and still held his hand with an elder style and smiled: “Don’t you want me to be the one who is the Transportation Commander of the Four Provinces?”

"I'm happy that you've been promoted."

The four provinces' transfer envoys were designed with one level lower than the configuration design of the governor, and their status was equivalent to the governor. The authority was slightly lower than that of a third-rank official or second-rank official title. Liu Bin was also promoted to three levels in a row.

However, the fortune transfer engineer was not happy because Cheng Jinzhou was insincere. On the contrary, he said unhappy: "There is no need to say such things between our father-in-law and son-in-law. When Zhao Ling came to me, I also thought a lot, but in the end I felt that it was a good thing for everyone to be a fortune transfer engineer in the four provinces."

Liu Bin's national face is very convincing, and his broad lips give people a sense of trust.

After my father went to work in Nanling, Cheng Jinzhou had not been taught for some days. But what his father-in-law said was very meaningful. He asked: "Why is it the best?"

"That's right. When you get to your seat today, you should make everything clear." Liu Bin said with great language arts: "You are getting bigger and bigger in De'an's port, but the Beijing City Massacre, Huangjin Port, the Peripheral Peninsula and other places have received less and less taxes. The grain prices in Daxia are falling every month, and the grain is low and weaker. The court wants to treat it, so you have to cooperate."

Without waiting for Cheng Jinzhou to speak, Liu Bin continued: "No matter how powerful you are now, there are always times to take a nap. In the territory of Daxia, unless you are planning to rebel yourself as the emperor, you will always have to deal with the court. The four provinces do not collect taxes. Then will these goods not collect taxes after the four provinces? The court's taxes are reduced day by day, the price of grain is reduced day by day, and some ministers want to restrict the entry of grain into the pass. They also died because of the existence of De'an. In the end, the court will always be unable to bear it."

Speaking of which, Xiao Cheng really didn't think so far. For him, with the current development, it will be different every year. The so-called future returns are higher, which is meaningless.

Seeing that my father-in-law was going to come to a conclusion on his behalf, Cheng Jinzhou quickly stopped him and said, "I need money the most now. By next year, who knows what the situation is? If the tax is increased, then most of the De'an Port will be destroyed.

"You need money, so why not pay taxes? Liu Bin asked back.

Cheng Jinzhou Yidai. He actively engaged in outward trade, which was actually largely the trade of the outward Star Covenant. Through De'an's in and out, he could also conveniently enter and exit materials to the Star Covenant. However, in terms of profits, the current huge De'an trade flow seems to earn no less than the money he earned in the Star Covenant independently.

When Liu Bin saw Cheng Jinzhou heard this, he smiled and said, "I am a transshipment officer in the four provinces. The tax rate and so on in the future can be determined by you. What materials are taxed and what materials are not taxed. Or they will also discuss with you. However, if I want to remeasure the land in the four provinces, you have to help me."

It sounded good in front of him. The measurement of the land behind made Cheng Jinzhou look like a big shot. Only now did he realize that his father-in-law was a difficult person to serve.

He couldn't help but waved his hand and said, "You think reform is a good thing, but everyone knows that after measuring the land, you will seize the land of the nobles. That is the foundation of the founding of the Great Xia. All nobles will point at the backbone and scold them."

Cheng Jinzhou did not say that "it is even more hated than me". After all, he makes money, others are just red-eyed, but Liu Bin wants to take other people's money away from his hands.

"The taxes from the four provinces. The court took away 30% of them, and the rest will be left to you." Liu Bin clapped his hands and said, "We will bear the infamy, you can only get the benefits. As for measuring the land, you can provide me with some astral apprentices.

"If I provide you with the apprentice of the Astrology Warlock, others would think I was involved. If the tax is too high, the ship from De'an will probably drop sharply." Cheng Jinzhou was a little exhausted. For some reason, Liu Bin broke down one thing into two things. Judging from his usual thinking, he seemed to have to agree to at least one of them.

In the face of dreams, Liu Bin is a very principled person. But in the process of showing his dreams, Liu Bin is a person who is good at adapting. He clapped his hands gently and said: "The process of reform is a process of redistribution. Those aristocratic families often occupy land in several states, and conceal and do not report them, and privately hold profits and taxes. If the taxes of the court increase, the income of your port will be preserved."

His logic was strange and direct. But Cheng Jinzhou understood it all at once.

The imperial court was planning reforms due to tax reasons. The nobles hoped that the reform would be successful without touching their own interests. Liu Bin did the opposite and wanted to touch the reform of the interests of the nobles. However, when Daxia had money, the emerging nobles would benefit in the process of redistribution of interests.

Cheng Jinzhou quite agrees with his father-in-law's reform method. After all, from the perspective of the whole world, Daxia is his base camp. Being able to find ways to manage the base camp is his greatest support.

But he could not follow Liu Bin as a reformer, so as not to repeat the reformer's mistakes. Therefore, he just asked: "I have promised the merchants that they will return their taxes in full, how can they go back on their word?"

"I want each province to pay back 50% of the tax, and the rest should be paid back with the tax collected in the future." Liu Bin thought for a moment and said, "As a port, it is right to not want to collect tariffs, but for a country, tariffs are indispensable. For example, food must be subject to heavy taxes, and imports must be reduced, and cloth and other things must be no taxes. Increase imports.

How could he know that these materials were all caused by Cheng Jinzhou's uncontrollable trafficking.

In terms of the liquidity of a feudal country, Cheng Jinzhou sold the stock of Confucianism in the market, so that everything and the mud would become moving. A society that had not received financial baptism would never know how powerful the money that was concentrated together was.

However, Dr. Cheng Da admired the practice of "blacklist" and "whitelist". From a national perspective, his idea back then was indeed a bit petty. He immediately made his request and said: "Since that is the case, I will order the tariffs of the national terminals, including Beijing Wharf, in the future.

This time, it was Liu Bin's turn to be stunned.
