Chapter 810: The Liao Concession of Goryeo

"The wedding is held in Kaifeng Prefecture!? Then will you go to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

In Jiehe Shang City, in Xiao Delidi's mansion, the Privy Councilor of the Tongzhi North Court of the Great Liao Kingdom heard the request from the Song State that Ma Renwang told him, immediately jumped up from the soft couch, staring at the visiting Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue.

"Of course I have to go!" Ma Renwang said with a little embarrassment, "How can I get married if I don't go? This matter cannot be replaced by someone."

Zhang Jue also said: "Now my parents are all in Kaifeng Mansion... It wouldn't be appropriate if he didn't go to meet him?"

"Nothing!" Xiao Delidi slapped the table, "Can you go back to Xingqing Mansion?"

"Of course I can go back!" Ma Renwang said, took out a scroll and presented it with both hands, "Supreme Minister, this is the guarantee letter from the Song people. Please check it out..."

"The letter of guarantee?" Xiao Delidi looked at the horse people, and saw that this Han official who was solemn and solemn in appearance on his usual face was now smiling flatteringly. Why was he so cunning?

However, Xiao Delidi was not afraid of any treacherousness, and he immediately turned the scroll and slowly unfolded. After he opened it, he realized that it was indeed a fraud! This was not a guarantee letter, but a large-denomination "Buddha statue Jiaozi" issued by the Changshengku of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe. This is a large-denomination certificate of deposit invented by Du Wenyu. In fact, it is a copy of fine-brushed Buddha statues. The original paintings were all written by Du Wenyu. Then, the master of the Changshengku of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe and the depositor of the depositor of the money handwritten the amount, interest rate, term, withdrawal place on the blank space on the painting, and then the signature is printed. Finally, the Abbot Zhishen of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe. And it is in duplicate, one is kept by the depositor and the other is kept by the Changshengku of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe.

Of course, if you use this kind of "certificate of deposit" (a private partner has the function of a certificate of deposit), the amount will definitely be extremely large. It is usually thousands or tens of thousands!

Xiao Delidi looked carefully and found that the amount of Jiaozi was 20,000 yuan, and it was paid by the ticket! He looked at Ma Renwang again. Old Man Ma had a honest smile on his face, which made people feel reliable!

"Since there is a guarantee letter," Xiao Delidi packed the "guarantee letter" and smiled, "I believe it. But there are Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Fengxian, and Xiao Sixian..."

"There will be a guarantee letter."

Xiao Delidi nodded and said, "I'll agree first, let's go, Brother Cha can only go one! If both of them go, there will be no guarantee letters!"

"That's right, then of course, why did Brother Cha go to Kaifeng Mansion? It's not that he married a wife."

"So what do you say about the increase in tax coverage?" Xiao Delidi asked again.

"Add 50,000 yuan," said Zhang Jue, "pay with silk."

"Fifty thousand is too little, no, no!"

The national use of the Great Liao Kingdom is now in deficits for years. Fortunately, the Liao Kingdom is not maintained by the force of mercenaries, otherwise the Liao Kingdom would be destroyed without waiting for the Jurchens to rebel.

The reason for this is of course because there are too many monks and nuns. With less than 10 million people, they have raised more than 400,000 monks and nuns who are truly unproductive (unlike the monks who opened banks, restaurants, and markets in the Song Dynasty. The monks from the Liao Kingdom seriously abide by the rules and regulations of the Qing Dynasty), and there are two million nations that do not pay taxes. It is a damn thing that the national finances do not collapse.

There is no other way to save the bankrupt finances, so it is only for extortion of Song State. It used to be the annual monies, but now there is an additional commercial market to cover taxes, and you can get 600,000 yuan a year. However, Yelu Yanxi was not satisfied and wanted to get a little more, hoping to increase it to 800,000 yuan a year!

"Are there two tax customs in Goryeo that can be paid?" said the honest and honest Ma Renwang, "If the two tax customs are managed, it is not a big problem to collect tens of thousands a year, so there will be more than one hundred thousand? It's almost the same. Besides, if you take down the tax customs, you can further establish a concession."

“Rent…borrow?”

"The rent of rent is the boundary of the boundary river." Ma Renwang said, "It means the rented boundary, which means the land of the Great Liao Dynasty, and built a piece of land of Goryeo that is the outer world for Goryeo."

Xiao Delidi shook his head, not understanding what it means.

Is it still necessary to rent the land of the Great Liao Kingdom if it wants Goryeo? Just start fighting!

However, the Great Liao Kingdom is not able to fight against the Goryeo Kingdom now. The Song Dynasty must be wary. Before the destruction was settled, the Jurchens were shaking again and they went to provoke the Goryeo Kingdom... I think there were too few enemies?

"What should I do if the Kingdom of Goryeo doesn't agree?" Xiao Delidi asked, "Is it possible that our Daliao still has to send troops to attack them?"

"No, no." Ma Renwang smiled, "Goryeo is too late to ask for protection from Daliao, so why wouldn't we agree to rent land? Besides, we don't want to rent a large land, but we just rent two pieces of land for business for Daliao merchants, which is much smaller than Jiehe Commercial Market. It's enough to have a few thousand acres and tens of thousands of acres. And we won't use their land in vain, we will pay the rent."

“How much is it?”

"You can give 1,000 war horses." said the horse man Wang. "Now the Koreans are unwilling to give up their losses and are trying to take revenge. And they think they lost because they don't have war horses, so they are determined to get the iron cavalry. Our dynasty uses war horses to exchange for the concession, and then use the concession to establish a market. With the market, they can collect taxes."

"How much can I charge?" Xiao Delithi said, "The commercial market outside Suzhou Pass has not received much money. How can the commercial market in Goryeo be better?"

Zhang Jue said: "That's different... Suzhou Guan didn't have much business to do. Ninety percent of the 100% of the trade with the Song Dynasty went to Jiehe Market. The transactions between the Goryeo, the Song Dynasty and our Liao Dynasty went to Haizhou (Goryeo Haizhou), and the transactions between the Japanese countries went to Busan. If we could build markets in these two places and hold the customs, how could we not make money?"

"Can the market increase taxes, can there be 100,000 yuan a year?"

"Yes!" Zhang Jue said with certainty, "If the Privy Councilor is more trustworthy than the lower officials, the lower officials will run around this matter, and the lower officials will guarantee that they will be able to give the imperial court 100,000 silk and copper coins a year from the following year."

"Can you guarantee?" Xiao Delidi looked at Zhang Jue, "Is there a letter of guarantee?"

Zhang Jue immediately took out a scroll and presented it with both hands. Xiao Delidi smiled and took it over, and looked at it. Another ten thousand pieces were gone.

"Hahaha," Xiao Delidite said, "Let's try this, I will definitely tell you about it!"

Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Delidi finally passed this level! Next is Yelu Yan, who is also a jealous person, so the problem should be small. As long as Yelu Yan nods, there will be no problem on the Jiehe River...

...

Jiehe Commercial City, Wu Family Mansion.

Inside the Red Walled Courtyard, the whole family was finally settled.

Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, and Ximen Qing all have their own separate yards. When Luohanma was in Kaifeng Mansion, he was a housekeeper. When he arrived in Jiehe Shang City, his status decreased slightly. He followed Ximen Qing as his deputy, but he did not have his own independent yard, but occupied a small building in Wu Haogu's yard.

Bai Feifei also came to Jiehe Market with Wu Haogu. She also followed Wu Haogu for a while and went to the Northwest Army together. However, she did not have the flesh and blood of Wu Haogu, and her status at home was just like that. Ximen Qing made up her mind to be a unique concubine, so Bai Feifei could only live in the position of family crafts. However, in the Wu family mansion, she also had her own world, managed the Wu family crafts team, and an independent courtyard. In fact, outside of her home, she also had her own industry and her own residence, just like Yan Po'er.

The female Taoist nun Guo Xiaoxiao, who has a special status like Bai Feifei, is not ordinary. She has known Wu Haogu since she was a child, and her brother Guo Jing is a Taoist in purple clothes! In terms of origin, it is enough to be a wife for Wu Haogu. So Pan Qiaolian specially instructed Ximen Qing to set up a piece of land in a corner of the Wu family mansion and build a Taoist temple for Guo Xiaoxiao. Now that the Taoist temple has not been built, Pan Qiaolian asked her to live in the same yard with her, in name only to teach herself how to have a son.

With a spy at home, Wu Haogu naturally needs to take snacks. He must not be careful or over-prevented, otherwise he will seem like he is in his heart.

So today Ximen Qing specially picked a Guo Xiaoxiao to accompany Wu Haogu to practice swordsmanship, and came to report with a smile.

"Master, the seventh brother of the Ma family has just passed and sent me a message."

When Guo Xiaoxiao saw Ximen Qing coming, she knew that Wu Haogu had something serious about it, so she took Wu Haogu's wooden sword, went to the weapon rack next to her, took a hand towel hanging on it and began to gently wipe her sweat. Of course, her ears were standing up.

Wu Haogu asked: "What do you say? Did they agree?"

"Everything agreed." Ximen Qing smiled, "Xiao Delidi and Yelu Yan have collected money, so there should be no problem... The Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass in Goryeo are bought by the Zhang family in Pingzhou. We will follow it from the Zhang family. In this way, the Liao Kingdom is in charge, but in fact we are still in control. It is from the future that we have to give the Liao court 100,000 yuan a year."

"100,000 yuan..." Wu Haogu smiled, "Okay, as long as we can open a shopping mall in Goryeo, 100,000 yuan can still be earned. The marriage between King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an in Kaifeng Prefecture is fine, right?"

"No problem, it's just that Brother Cha can't go to the North Korea with him."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "That can be explained... The official did not let Brother Cha enter the court!"

He turned around and smiled at Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, I can only go here today. I have to go to the coastal market management department outside the city to do business, otherwise Bai Feifei will accompany you to visit Jiehe Shang City? There are many fun places here, including a few tiles, racecourses, archery fields for archery competitions, many martial arts halls, Taoist temples, temples, Tianfang Temple, Cross Temple, and a Dayun Guangming Temple, which claims to be the Manichaeism General Altar. If you really want to play, you won't be the same for a month."
