Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Ye Yongyuan got up and saluted, "My son-in-law, there is a problem with my humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

"Speak." Qin Mu raised his foot and returned to his seat.

Ye Yongyuan said: "My lord, these plans are certainly good, but there is one problem that we cannot control, and that is the wishes of the merchants."

"Nowadays, the status of Shuojin City as the main city of the three cities in Western Xinjiang is beyond doubt. This is something that has been engraved in the bones of merchants. They will not give up the development of Shuojin City because of our plan, and turn to other places. Two commercial cities."

listened to him.

All the officials in the hall were lost in thought.

It has to be said that Ye Yongyuan's doubts are very reasonable.

If you go to the three cities in the western border, the thoughts of the merchants can be transferred with their plans.

Then this matter is too simple.

However, this is simply impossible.

Qin Mu blew on the teacup in his hand, and said calmly, "This matter can be settled."

Looking at Qin Mu's calm appearance.

All the officials in the hall cast suspicious glances at Qin Mu.

Looking forward to his approach.

Qin Mu said slowly: "We just need to define the main product categories in each city, and give a one-year commercial tax reduction to the commercial firms that go to other cities according to our plan."

When these words fell to the ground, everyone suddenly realized.

This method is really feasible.

After all, businessmen are seeking profit, reducing or exempting commercial taxes for one year, and following Datang's commercial policies.

Why not do it.

And as long as [-]% of the people move, the rest will follow suit.

They will be forced to concentrate their business.

Ye Yongyuan hastily saluted, "My son-in-law, I have been educated for my humble position."

"However, there is still a problem with the humble job, which needs to be pointed out by the son-in-law."

Qin Mu nodded, "But it's okay to say."

Ye Yongyuan faltered and said: "At this time, most of the merchants have already settled in. If the policy is issued at this time, it is tantamount to going to war. The court..."

What Ye Yongyuan said was indeed reasonable.

After all, he is just a small Shuojin City prefect with limited power.

Many things cannot be decided by him alone.

If he changed the court decree without authorization, it would be a serious crime.

Moreover, this matter is easier said than done, and it will delay a lot of time.

Greatly slow down the commercial development of the three cities in western Xinjiang.

Policing, relocation, commercial area planning, etc... need to add a lot of work.

But Qin Mu didn't take it seriously.

"Just do what I say, and leave the rest to me."

"Although going to war at this time will hinder the development of the three cities in Western Xinjiang, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."

"Gong is in the moment, benefit in the future."

After listening to Qin Mu's words.

Ye Yongyuan felt relieved.

With Qin Mu as his backing, he can do it freely.

The matter is settled.

The general commercial layout of the three cities in Xijiang has been settled.

The rest is some specific measures and details.

Qin Mu answered questions for the officials all morning before leaving.

After Qin Mu's suggestion, everyone was enlightened, and they suddenly became enlightened.

They have to admit.

Qin Mu's business thinking is indeed advanced.

It made them feel that Qin Mu seemed to come from the future.

For the trend of business development, do not control too precisely.

Fortunately, Qin Mu's Mangya Trading Company has its own principles.

Do not compete with the people for profit.

Even in the three cities of Western Xinjiang.

What Mangya Trading Company sells is only the things produced by Mangya Trading Company.

Mangya Trading Company will not touch any commodities in circulation.

Otherwise, the other firms would have to be squeezed out by the Mangya firm and have nothing to eat.

Left the prefect's mansion.

Qin Mu returned to the Qin Mansion.

Li Er and the others were already ready to go, waiting for Qin Mu to come back.

Although the wait was a bit long.

But Li Er was not in a hurry, on the contrary he was very happy.

Firstly, this trip to the Western Regions gave Li Er too many surprises.

Secondly, Qin Mu's trip was really a matter of business.

"Master, shall we go?"

Seeing Qin Mu returning home, Xue Rengui asked.

"Let's go." Qin Mu nodded.

They came to the Western Regions this time for fun.

But not yet.

Yanqi and Qiuci have been merged into Datang.

It will be a matter of time for the remaining countries.

It's all the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so it's not interesting for Qin Mu to wander around.

Moreover.

It's been a long time since they came out this time.

If I don't go back again, I'm afraid I will celebrate the New Year halfway.

After noon.

A few people set off, left Shuojin City, headed east all the way, and set foot on the return journey.

Along the way, except for Qin Mu, Xue Rengui, Li Er, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and Wu Jue.

There are also a thousand cavalry escorts.

At this time, Li Er's identity has been exposed.

Originally, Li Er didn't care.

But for his safety, Changsun Wuji still insisted on sending troops to escort him.

Everyone galloped all the way, starry night.

Within ten days, they arrived near Yumen Pass.

From this point of view, the speed of the return trip was much faster than usual.

Yumen Pass began when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the road to the Western Regions and established the four counties in Hexi.

It got its name because of the way to transport jade in the Western Regions.

Yumen Pass is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, on the south bank of the Shule River.

It is composed of Gobi, desert, rivers and lake beaches.

It faces the North Mountain in the north, and echoes the Qilian Mountain in the south.

In the Han Dynasty, Yumen Pass was the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions.

It is also an important channel for east-west traffic.

At that time, the territory of the western border of the Han family was not as vast as that of the Tang Dynasty.

So Yumen Pass at that time was an important military pass.

but.

Today's Yumenguan's status in Datang is no longer so obvious.

The Tang Dynasty's defense line in western Xinjiang has advanced to the vicinity of the original Western Turkic court, and the Anxi Protectorate was established.

The marching team is walking towards Yumen Pass.

Sudden.

A man in ragged clothes appeared on the horizon.

Xue Rengui stopped the marching team.

at the same time.

Several fast horses appeared behind the fleeing man.

Xue Rengui could tell that those people were all wearing armor, presumably they were the guards of Yumen Pass.

Those government soldiers shouted loudly.

"Quick, grab him and don't let him get away."

"It's really impatient to offend our General Zhu."

"Grandma, one of them escaped, causing us to be punished by the general."

A mansion soldier shouted and cursed, took out a noose from his waist, and put it on the fleeing man.

Just a moment.

The man was caught by the rope.

The government soldiers strangled hard, and the man staggered and fell to the ground.

Looking at the fallen man, the mansion soldier was extremely excited.

"Alas..."

He let out a cry of excitement, pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse accelerated instantly.

The man was dragged to the ground, screaming.

The clothes that were originally tattered were almost naked.

Several government soldiers looked at the man being dragged away, and they were even more excited.

far away.

Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui frowned, subconsciously drove the horse, and rushed forward.

Murder is just a no-brainer.
