Cheng Yi was in danger, but the other person was desperate.

The Song Dynasty became richer. To be precise, there were more rich people, but the poor people were still the same. What was it like when the founding of the country and what it still looked like now.

But some very powerful consumer classes have emerged.

Therefore, people even started to play with insects, flowers, birds, horses...

A pure white handsome Haidongqing can be worth thousands of cents of money.

But deep in Liaodong, there are not only Haidongqing, but also ginseng, deer antlers and various precious furs.

Wu Nan was the one who went to Liaodong. It was his previous performance that made Wang Ju pay great attention to it. This trip was very risky, so Wang Ju handed over the important task to Wu Nan.

Then Wu Nan met a man from Bohai named Yelu Ji. His ancestors did not have the surname Yelu. The reason why his surname was Yelu was given the surname, just like Li Ji's original surname was Xu.

His ancestors followed the Liao Kingdom to fight against Goryeo in the east and made military achievements. They were given the surname by the Liao Kingdom and were also given the title of Qingwen. Qingwen was the general of the Song Dynasty, but the envoy was also a general, and the instructor was also a general. It was very vague to be the general, and Qingwen was also very vague.

However, this Qingwen has probably very real power. Even though his ancestors died for a long time, Yeluji's brothers still hold some official positions in the Liao Kingdom, and his family is also a local Suzhou area.

The two have been in contact for two years, and the relationship is good, not a good relationship. The main reason is that the trade in the past two years has brought a lot of wealth to the Yelu Ji family.

Compared with the Han people in the Central Plains, the Northeastern people were not the Northeastern people of later generations. Now there are still very few people in the Northeastern people, but they are also generous and rough.

In addition, the Yelu Ji family is located in Suzhou, which is the Dalian area in later generations. The sea route was not very smooth and there were sea routes, which was such a large Bohai Bay. However, the Liao Kingdom did not have good sea ships, and the Song Dynasty had good sea ships. But who dared to go to Liao Kingdom?

Therefore, Yelu Ji's family had very little traffic with the people of the Central Plains, and Wu Nan did a good job and made money. Yelu Ji regarded Wu Nan as a good friend.

Wu Nan heard that Yelu Ji had a brother named Yelu Ze. He served as an official position in the depths of Liaodong and often served as an envoy. He went to various tribes in the depths of Liaodong to collect various tributes for the Liao Kingdom, and it was not far from Changbai Mountain. In the south were the various tribes in Changbai Mountain, Huiba tribe, to the northwest were the Wanyan tribe, and to the northeast were the Five Kingdoms tribes.

In fact, Yelu Ji, even Yelu Ze, who was still in the depths of Liaodong, was not very clear about the depths of Liaodong. He only knew that there were large tribes such as the Five Kingdoms, Changbai Mountain, Wanyan, Five Kingdoms, East China Sea, Wura, and Tieli tribes. He even thought that the Huiba tribe and Tieli tribe were also Jurchen tribes. As for the big river, it was the Mixed River, Nashui, and Talu River. However, the information in Wang Ju's hands was the same. In general, the various tribes in the depths of Liaodong were very backward, with a vast land and sparse population. Therefore, after so many years of trade, Wang Ju did not get more detailed information and more detailed maps. However, relatively speaking, Wu Nan might have known more about Liaodong than Yelu Ji, especially the Jurchens in the East China Sea (the Jurchens east of the Black Dragon East). Of course, Wu Nan would only pretend to be stupid and act crazy.

Wu Nan said, can I go and gain some knowledge?

Yelu Ji agreed readily, which almost made Wu Nan feel embarrassed.

It's too straightforward. In fact, Wu Nan is also a straightforward person, using these conspiracies and tricks. He is not used to it, and he is also very straightforward to these straightforward people in Bohai.

But he was really wrong.

Yelu Ji asked his servants to take Wu Nan to the depths of Liaodong.

Where did he go? In the end, even Wang Ju can't tell him where he went.

Wu Nan only knew that he had gone to a place called Mulu River, but Wu Nan couldn't figure it out whether it was Mulu River or Mulu River.

But fortunately, Chinese is like English in later generations. Many people in the surrounding countries can speak Chinese. Moreover, after interacting in the past two years, Wu Nan has also learned a lot of Khitan.

Therefore, there is no problem with communication.

The more you go, the wider the land is, the sparsely populated, and the mountains are dark.

The slaves of Yelu Ji family took Wu Nan to find Yelu Ze, and when Yelu Ze met, he hugged him hard.

My friends may not take it seriously, but it is precisely because of Wu Nan's arrival that brought a lot of wealth to the Yelu family in Bohai.

Perhaps some people in the upper class of the Liao Kingdom knew that, but when it comes to trade, the two countries had different attitudes. The Song Dynasty was rich. Relatively speaking, the trade difference was beneficial to the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom did not have a complete commercial tax system, which was more conducive to the welcome of the nobles. Apart from war horses, the remaining materials should be exchanged. Therefore, when it comes to trade, the Liao Kingdom was more relaxed, otherwise Wu Nan and his party would not have been so smoothly when it came to Suzhou.

Wu Nan also knew this, not that Wu Nan knew it, but that Wang Ju had a clear idea. Wu Nan just implemented it according to Wang Ju's plan.

So he was very open in this industry.

But when he got here, he didn't know where he was located in Liao Kingdom.

Fortunately, the flowers are blooming now. Although the depths of Liaodong are still relatively cold, this coldness can be withstood.

The two of them drank and talked happily, and Wu Nan suggested that they would take a look at the collection of tributes. Yelu Ze did not think too much. Instead, he thought that Wu Nan just wanted to go to the Jurchen tribes to see the Jurchens' properties in person, so let's take a look. Does Wu Nan have the ability to transport these properties directly to the Song Dynasty? He still needs his own help.

As for the terrain, it is even more a joke. Many people in this area, even the Liao Kingdom, couldn't figure it out. The Song Dynasty knew it and what role it played. Besides, what skills did Wu Nan have? Just look at it and you can know the detailed terrain? Or you have this skill to know that the Song Dynasty had the ability to use troops here?

Yelu Ze agreed readily.

The next day, the group went to a Jurchen tribe.

Wu Nan really observed it carefully. This tribe is similar to many tribes in Shaanxi, and it is just the same village. But this village is not small, with more than 100 households. As for these Jurchens, they look very tough. The weather was still relatively cold at this time. At least here, Wu Nanyi was wearing thick clothes, but most of the people in this village were only wearing a fur coat, with both arms and half of their chests outside.

Men, women, young and old, all carry weapons or wear bows and arrows.

He thought to himself that the people are indeed very tough, but the population is a little smaller.

It is true that there are not many people born in Jurchens. In this bad weather, there are such backward production, farming and pastoral methods. How many people may be there, but this group of people have entered the Central Plains twice...

But Wu Nan didn't know.

Yelu Ze began to collect tributes. Wu Nan asked, "General Yelu, these people look very fierce. Are you afraid?"

"Hahahaha," Yelu Ze laughed and said, "You southern barbarians are timid, not our Daliao, and are afraid of what they do."

Wu Nan was speechless, are we barbarians? Then let's be barbarians.

It seemed as if it was a proof. Yelu Ze called the patriarch of this tribe and said a few words in Jurchen language. Wu Nan couldn't understand it anyway, so the patriarch looked embarrassed. Yelu Ze scolded him a few more words, and the patriarch had to be submissive.

After a while, more than 60 young girls in the clan were brought up by the clan leader.

Yelu Ze said to Wu Nan in Chinese: "Brother Wu, these women are as good as they wish, just choose them."

"Ah, how can this be done?"

"What's wrong?" Yelu Ze said a few words to the clan leader. He said to Wu Nan: "Brother Wu, these women have been kept by me together."

Wu Nan was speechless. Can you bear so many girls? But the same is true for the Song Dynasty. Some literati and officials had dozens of prostitutes, such as Han Qi and Xiao Song.

But there is still a difference between the two, one is voluntary and the other is forced.

He said: "I am not very interested in these women. What I am interested in are Haidongqing and ginseng and deer antlers."

"It's okay, this time I will let them catch a few real Haidongqings." Yelu Ze shouted to the clan leader again.

However, Yelu Ze was also neglected. There is no saying that artificial breeding is now. Whether it is Haidongqing or ginseng and antler, it is wild. It is very difficult to obtain it, especially Haidongqing. In the past two years, because Wu Nan brought a caravan to trade, the number of people in Bohai has increased, which has brought great pressure to the birth of Jurchens in various departments.

Now Yelu Ze wants to exaggerate his martial arts and blackmail again. He finally angered the tribe's people.

The patriarch hesitated for a while and was still timid, but when he turned around, his eyes flashed with anger. The two sides were speechless, but their expressions were similar. Wu Nan noticed immediately, so he did not dare to eat much wine that night.

Night falls and starts to change.

Just when Yelu Ze was drunk and his hands were still touching the young girls, a large group of Jurchens rushed in. Wu Nan had not eaten much wine and immediately got up and ran away.

When he escaped from the tent, he had already seen a Jurchen warrior split Yelu Ze's head in half with a knife.

"It's the sword from the other side..." Wu Nan thought to himself, but he ignored it and immediately turned on the horse. Yelu Ze also brought a team of Liao soldiers. Several of them saw that the situation was not good, turned on the horse and began to run back.

But the Jurchens also raised horses, and many soldiers boarded the horse and chased them.

Someone came to chase after him and killed the Liao soldiers brought by Yelu Ze. As he ran, Wu Nan ran away, but he didn't dare to stop and continued to run forward in one breath until it was dawn.

But where is it now?

He was also stunned. He didn't know what the tribe would have when he killed Yelu Ze. But the key was that without the guidance of the servants of the Yelu Ji family, he was a Han man, and his language, clothing, hair and hair were different. A man ran around in the mountains and black waters, undoubtedly as dazzling as a super bright light bulb. What would happen if he would go around and around?

…………

The three departments reported last year's fiscal revenue, which was not only last year's fiscal revenue, but also compared it with the fourth year of Yuanfeng.

Yunnan Two Roads and Jiaozhi Road still do not count.

When can we calculate it? The year after the next year, because Wang Ju thought that the year after the next year will be basically stable, and then we can partially provide support to the court. Therefore, only then can the fiscal revenue of the three routes be counted on the general ledger.

Similarly, there is the future Xixia region.

But after a long period of rest and fusion, we can consider whether it can bring some benefits to the court.

So this is the difference between Wang Ju and Wang Anshi. In fact, a Qinzhou city can bring a lot of profits to the court in one year, but Wang Anshi is still not satisfied. Yu Xihe Road immediately implemented taxes with the Song Dynasty and other people.

You should know that Xihe Road is not Xixia or Dali. The taxes have not been heavy before... Is this conducive to integration?

But whether it is good or bad, it is already history. Everything depends on the Xixia. Xixia is successfully captured. Even if some tribes in Xihe are dissatisfied, it is not harmful to Xixia. Xixia cannot. Some tribes on Xihe Road are dissatisfied, and together with Aligu, there will be a long battle to recover Huangzhou in the future.

The first item is the green rice money, market money, and home tax, and cattle rent are all banned, and even the rental income of official homes has been reduced a lot.

Together, these major items have brought nearly 12 million yuan of losses to the court.

Zhao Xu was a little puzzled. In his memory, these incomes were only a million yuan.

Wang Ju whined southwest, which means that there is no salt exemption case in Renzong Qiongzhou.

On the surface, the court's gains are only a million yuan, but in fact they are more than 100 million yuan.

This was Wang Jili who had reorganized the officialdom. A total of more than 700 officials who were inactive in various prefectures and counties, corrupt officials, or officials with insufficient abilities were punished one after another, and more than 200 officials were even directly resigned.

This brings the officialdom to a new look, otherwise the losses will be heavier.

The second item is the loss of exemption from service. The country has to pay more than 4 million guan for it every year, but at the same time it has exempted nearly 5 million guan of surplus money. It is equivalent to an increase and decrease. The court lost more than 9 million guan every year, which is a new guan, not an old guan.

The third item is the two taxes. The original number of two taxes reached 55 million (shushipi), because households and other households dropped sharply. Last year, Wang Ju successively issued a clear rule that households below the sixth grade were not allowed to impose two taxes. At the same time, in order to promote morality, families of martyrs, disabled veterans, filial sons, good people who act bravely, charity families, and female households also exempt all two taxes. However, the evaluation of charity families is stricter. Those who have to take out more than half of their property to do good deeds can be charity families. It is impossible to take out millions of yuan of property, and I am a charity family. I have to exempt my tens of thousands of acres of arable land together.

In addition, the families of various guards and brave archers who are strong and strong, are also tax-free or half-tax-free.

So the two taxes fell to 38 million last year, and 17 million were lost.

All the officials were stuttering their tongues as they listened to these cold data.

These are all manifestations of people-friendly policies, and most of the people benefit the poor.

At the same time, in recent years, the country has paid millions of trump cards to pay compensation from various guaranteed families and the loss of weapons of Baoding Yiyong.
