Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 241 Sometimes You Should Pay Attention to Etiquette

"This..." Duan Tianping had no choice but to think for a while, and said, "Western Province is poor and cannot support so many soldiers."

"Well, Mr. Duan, you don't have to be in trouble. I, Jiang Yunqing, are not unreasonable. If you really can't recruit troops, it's not impossible to want my special forces to harvest. You have to pay."

The special forces absolutely cannot and cannot do any loss-making business. This is Jiang Yunqing's bottom line principle. Now the military expenses of the special forces are all spent on Jiang Yunqing's money.

Want to defend the city for free?This is absolutely impossible.

You are clearly the army of the Tang Dynasty. Now you are asked to defend the city for the Tang Dynasty, and you are still asking for money?
Duan Tianping felt that this time he was really a scholar who met a soldier, and he couldn't explain why.

Your Majesty asked you to come here to guard the frontier. When you come to me, you need a governor to pay you, so you are willing to guard the frontier?
What is this called?

There are many shameless people, but for people like Jiang Yunqing who are so shameless, Duan Tianping asked himself that he had never seen such a shameless person in this world?
"The matter of recruiting soldiers and horses is finished, let's talk about the matter of investment. If a good city wants to truly prosper, it must have commercial prosperity. Commercial prosperity is also a manifestation of the economic strength of a city. To hurt people, these businessmen know best how to make money and how to spend it. The faster money circulates, the more tax revenue the country will receive."

To be honest, since the Qin Dynasty, these businessmen in China have been in relatively low positions for 2000 years. Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has basically been the national policy of all dynasties. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. If you don’t cultivate the land, what you can eat will be a problem. .

And they all have a natural disdain for businessmen, so many people think that every businessman is full of copper smell.

But for a poor place like Xizhou, commercial tax revenue is very important. Therefore, this method of exempting agricultural taxes and only collecting commercial taxes can definitely be tried in Xizhou.

"If Xizhou wants to attract business and recruit caravans, it must build its own strength. Without bluestone and other things, how can we build a strong city wall?" Duan Tianping asked. Woolen cloth.

The meeting has now reached a stalemate. Anyway, no matter what he Jiang Yunqing said, Duan Tianping just said, no money, no money, no money.

Jiang Yunqing couldn't bear it anymore, and after a few seconds, he laughed loudly and said, "Is there no money? Then Lord Inspector should take a good rest these days. I think Lord Inspector will definitely have money in a few days."

After leaving the governor's office, Jiang Yunqing's expression was extremely gloomy. Although he had given the other party a great deterrent, these people still refused to accept his own tricks and refused to give himself face. It seemed that he still had to Think carefully about what to do.

After walking in the city for a while, Jiang Yunqing also discovered that some small officials would bully merchants, but Jiang Yunqing just watched it and kept it in his heart, and did not do anything.

After receiving the promise of the special forces, Jiang Yunqing found Li Wurong and Cheng Chuliang.

"I heard from you that day that you stayed in the city for three days and said that there is a very respectable person in the city, right?"

"Yeah, you don't know, this person is so awesome, no matter where he goes to eat or drink, no one will charge him." Li Wurong quickly echoed.

"Okay, then I want you two to figure it out for yourself, and bring this man to the special forces camp. Remember, don't make a fuss, come secretly."

"This? Don't worry, we are the best at these dirty jobs and are very skilled. Don't worry, just wait and see."

And Cheng Chuliang and Li Wurong also told Jiang Yunqing once again with the facts how good they are at doing these things.

The two of them are not suitable for leading troops to the battlefield, but they are the best at doing these sneaky things.

What Jiang Yunqing did was so fast that he didn't expect it.

This Jiang Yunqing had just told them about this on the front foot, and the back foot brought him back to Jiang Yunqing in the afternoon.

Inside a big sack, the person inside was still struggling desperately.

"This, it's solved?" Jiang Yunqing was a little dumbfounded, "This work is efficient."

"Don't worry, the general ordered, look, this is the person inside."

"After all, we are also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Sometimes we still need to pay attention to etiquette and not be so rude."

Jiang Yunqing opened the sack and found that the person inside the sack had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth, which was still stained with blood.

This man was in his 30s, tall, with a full face, a full beard, and two eyes like copper bells, which made him look a bit fierce.

As soon as the rag was removed from the man's mouth, the man began to desperately beg for mercy.

"General, the villain didn't do anything, the villain really didn't do anything. How did you get the villain here?" The man looked around and looked at the soldiers The clothes on his body immediately turned pale with fright.

"what's your name?"

"Tao Buhe."

"Your identity in Xizhou City."

"Identity? The adults are wronged, the young ones are the good citizens of Xizhou City, just ordinary people, not officials."

"Then what do you usually do in Xizhou City?"

"I, I am the imam."

imam? ? ? ? ? ?
Upon hearing these two words, Jiang Yunqing immediately understood that they were the names the Hui people used for those who presided over the religious affairs of the mosque.

This imam is also divided into two types: the beginning imam and the after-school imam. The former one is in charge of the religious affairs of the mosque and is also called the main imam.

And in ancient times, imam was also a professional title. Especially in the four counties of the Western Regions and Hexi during the Han and Tang Dynasties, almost every city had one or two imams, who were equivalent to village chiefs or village chiefs. They were responsible for both big and small matters. They are all in charge, as well as those who perform sacrifices.

As long as it doesn't involve anything about breakfast, the Tao Buhe in front of Jiang Yunqing's eyes may be more useful in talking in Xizhou City than the governor Duan Tianping.

"Look at you, you are so rude to Mr. Tao."

Jiang Yunqing personally helped Tao Buhe untie the hemp rope tied around his body, pretending to be very heartbroken, "Look at what has happened to such a good face after being beaten by you. You guys are really reckless." ah."

There is no distinction between high and low occupations, and Jiang Yunqing also respects this imam very much.

With Tao Buhe's help, if Jiang Yunqing wanted to solve some problems in Xizhou, it would not be so troublesome.

Xizhou is a big river and lake, Jiang Yunqing needs to start step by step, this Tao Buhe is a good breakthrough.
