Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 977 Both kindness and power

Zhao Hanzhang: "So I deducted one car from the vehicle and vessel tax."

Zhao Hu: "What's the use of a carriage? I only use three of the carriages at home. Why don't you just not charge the carriage and shipping fees from the gentry officials?"

When Zhao Hu said this, he paused and stared: "No, you are fooling me again. You only exempt officials and three elders from the transportation fee. I am not an official or a third elder. My family has to pay taxes on transportation and transportation." !”

Zhao Hu's words were so drooling that Zhao Hanzhang could only spit, but still smiled gently, "Did the seventh uncle forget about uncle Cheng and his cousin? They all have a car tax-free quota in their names, and the fifth uncle also has uncle Ming. By the way, Cousin Shen has made meritorious service this time, so he can become an official after he recovers from his injuries, so that the family can have enough money for two cars and horses."

Zhao Song and Zhao Hu were scolded by him. Compared with paying taxes, the future of the children in the family naturally attracted more attention.

However, Zhao Hu is not easy to be fooled. He only paused for a moment before reacting, "We are talking about counting min orders, and you are talking about other things. The gentry all have to count min money. See who else is willing to come to your place in the future." Be an official."

Zhao Hanzhang: "What the Seventh Uncle said to the generals and scholars is too vulgar. Moreover, officials have quotas of deductions and exemptions. Are they no better than ordinary people?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Even I am no exception. I also have to pay the calculation fee."

Zhao Hu was still about to retort, but his heart moved and he looked Zhao Hanzhang up and down, "Then are the soldiers and horses in the Zhao family's army considered assets?"

Now Zhao Hanzhang has a lot of soldiers and horses. If the price of a carriage or horses is calculated, then...

Zhao Hu calculated quickly, and the more he calculated, the brighter his eyes became, and he became furious at the same time. Zhao Hanzhang would have to go bankrupt just by paying the money, right?

Just when I was happy, I heard Zhao Hanzhang saying quietly: "Seventh uncle is joking, how can there be any Zhao family army in this world? Aren't these all the army of the imperial court?"

Zhao Hu and the three gentlemen behind him all looked at Zhao Hanzhang in shock. She was so shameless. How could she have the nerve to say this?

Even Zhao Song blushed, struggled back and forth, and decided to temporarily persuade Zhao Hu for Zhao Hanzhang, mainly because there were outsiders around, and they couldn't let them see Zhao's jokes.

"You also heard that all three ladies have to count money."

Zhao Hu was angry, "Not counting Zhao Jiajun, how much money does she have now? Of course she is not in a hurry, but I have a lot of money. Fifth brother, even when I was the head of Luoyang Jinshi, I didn't even pay any money. Now that she is the head of the house, I Instead, I have to pay..."

This is no fun at all, he won’t play anymore!

Zhao Hanzhang's face was slightly cold. In order to save face for Zhao Hu, she turned to the three people behind him and said, "Mr. Chen, go to the side room to drink tea and rest first?"

Zhao Yunxin immediately came out, smiled and asked the three of them to move.

Mr. Chen and the others regretted it when Zhao Hanzhang started to spread the air-conditioning. As soon as Zhao Yunxin opened his mouth, the three of them did not dare to look at Zhao Hu and immediately stood up and left.

As soon as the three people left, the smile on Zhao Hanzhang's face faded.

Zhao Hu was still not afraid of her at this time. He thought he was justified, so he stared at Zhao Hanzhang aggressively to see what flowers she could tell.

Zhao Hanzhang said with a slight smile: "Seventh Uncle, since I took over Yuzhou, your assets have increased nearly ten times, right?"

Zhao Hu: "That's all based on my ability, and you don't want to help me."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him quietly, and Zhao Hu stuttered, "I, that's what I took care of."

Zhao Hanzhang snorted and said: "If you didn't have Mrs. Zhao and me as your backers, how could your business in Xiping continue safely? Not to mention the distance, there are many local nobles in Jiangnan, and there are people there who mint copper coins privately. You can transport them to Is it because of your reputation that Jiangnan’s new money can be spent?”

A market is only so big. Those who dared to mint copper coins privately in Jiangnan must be local powerful people, or even several noble families united together. The copper coins they minted privately were circulated in the market. Zhao Hu inserted them into their market, and the items were not robbed. , the person was not killed, is it because of Zhao Hu?

Of course not, they turned a blind eye and made a way for Zhao Hu, just to see that Zhao Hanzhang was standing behind him.

"Your current caravan, whether it is going south or north, is all flying the flag of the Zhao family army, right?" The flag that Zhao Hu quietly touched was worth many people, and he touched more than one side.

"Not to mention that it is convenient for you to use my name to travel in various states and counties," Zhao Hanzhang said: "When I conquer a state, you use the money to buy houses and land. I will never choose the best for you. If it weren’t for the Zhao family and me, would Seventh Uncle be able to get those things at such a favorable price?”

"There are also various businesses," Zhao Hanzhang said, his face getting colder and colder. "This year, the price of food and salt has soared. How much money did the seventh uncle make by taking advantage of this opportunity?"

Zhao Hu's blushing face recovered a little, and he said matter-of-factly: "I didn't raise the price of food. I just took advantage of the trend to make money. Can you blame me for this?"

Zhao Hanzhang said with a cold face: "Seventh Uncle, people have different positions and different responsibilities. If you enjoy the convenience brought by me and the Zhao family, then you have to pay something for me and the Zhao family to consolidate the Zhao family. The family’s reputation.”

She said: "Follow the trend and make huge profits through business, but you can't do it. What's more, where did you get the salt?"

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes became sharper and he stared at him, "Selling illegal salt is a serious crime, let alone opening a salt mine privately!"

Zhao Hu was a little unconvinced and said: "The world has long been in chaos, and there is no distinction between officialdom and private affairs. Others can do it, why can't I do it?"

Zhao Hanzhang said coldly: "From now on, no one in the world can do this except me."

Zhao Hu's eyes widened, "You!"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Seventh Uncle, in addition to convincing people with reason, I can also convince them with power."

Zhao Hu was immediately speechless.

Zhao Song frowned but said nothing.

Zhao Hu looked at him and saw that he didn't speak up for her, so she could only reluctantly acquiesce.

Zhao Hanzhang then softened his expression and said: "Seventh Uncle, why do you need to stick to the petty profits in front of you? I am not afraid to tell you that I only plan to collect the money once."

Zhao Hu was stunned and asked, "Don't you want to restore the old system?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "The fortune-telling order has a great impact on business. I didn't want to use this method, but the national treasury is empty. In order to prevent the world from chaos, I can only do this method, using the rich to support the poor. After that, This year, if things get better next year, I will naturally be exempted from it.”

Zhao Hu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and Zhao Song's face looked much better.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at the two of them and said, "I asked my two uncles to keep it a secret for me. Not many people know about this matter, so in order to avoid delay and concealment, I didn't let it out."

Zhao Hu muttered in his heart: It would be better not to tell me, and I would delay it until next year when it is abolished.

Zhao Hanzhang seemed to know what he was thinking, and said to Zhao Hu: "Please ask the seventh uncle to set an example, otherwise the treasury will be empty and I will not be able to support the army. In the end, I will have to help from the clan. After all, the Zhao family's army is named Zhao." The Zhao is also the Zhao on the flag carried by the seventh uncle’s caravan.”

Zhao Hu:......

When Zhao Song heard this, he immediately turned to Zhao Hu and said, "Please pay the money carefully. You can pay as much as you need. My family also has to pay."
