“Are it complete?”

Qian Chu heard this, his eyelids moved slightly, sighed and said:

"Then send it to Changsha as soon as possible!"

"We must prepare the Tokyo one as soon as possible, and we cannot delay it!"

"Here!" Yuan Dezhao nodded and responded.

This is the sorrow of being a small country.

Last year, the fisherman was preparing to make a profit and attacked Chang and Runzhou. Unexpectedly, he even lost tens of thousands of troops. He could not lose the rice when stealing chickens. Hangzhou City was surrounded and could only be forced to surrender.

According to the rules, Qian Chu not only gave a dowry to Princess Pengcheng and praised the Tang Dynasty, but also had to pay 100,000 guan and 300,000 pieces of silk every year, with a total value of more than 700,000 guan, which was a heavy bleeding.

Of course, this expenditure is nothing to Wu Yue Kingdom. As the king of the country, Qian Chu spent money to build a pagoda to play with without any trouble. He spent some money to maintain national security, which was worth it.

However, although the Wu and Yue Kingdom paid tribute to the Tang Kingdom on the surface, they had no choice but to believe in their hearts that the Central Plains was the country that unifies the world.

A principle of matters.

Therefore, the Wu and Yue Kingdom not only paid tribute to the Tang Kingdom, but also to the Central Plains.

Every year, gold, silver and bronze ware, plus some copper coins, are worth about 200,000 to 300,000 jin. It can be said that they are willing to pay tribute and have no connection with the Central Plains.

"The rules over the years have been prepared, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

Yuan Dezhao stood there, spoke a few times, but did not leave, but instead hesitated.

"Is there anything else to do with my husband?" Qian Chu glanced lightly, curious in his heart, and asked.

"The king of the country, I listen to others. In recent days, the lord of Tang has continuously eliminated bad policies, which has attracted praise from scholars and the people. The name of a benevolent monarch has spread. I am afraid that in a few years, the land of Jiangnan will be completely included in it!"

Yuan Dezhao said in a deep voice that the matter of abolishing local tribute and restricting labor service was about to be abolished, which caused Qian Chu's eyes to stumble.

"It seems that he is really a powerful person!"

Qian Chu sighed, shook his head again, and laughed: "If he was a waste, how could he steal Lingnan and destroy Jiangnan?"

"However, such good governance is indeed good. We cannot fall behind. It is okay to learn how to strengthen our country!"

"After all, who is willing to surrender to the selves and wait for the merger?"

Immediately, Qian Chu clearly said to Yuan Dezhao that he was willing to abolish the local tribute and conquer the people's hearts.

I don't want to let Master Tang be more beautiful than before.

"The king of the country is wise!" Yuan Dezhao's words at this time meant this. The biggest loss was only for the king of the country, but Wu Yue actually benefited.

"Since last year, many merchants from Tang countries have been commuting with our Wu and Yue, and many merchants from Wu and Yue, who traveled between the two countries and transported all kinds of goods. Those who were not satisfied with our taxes were all too heavy. I think that our Wu and Yue established a country through business is enough for the country's use. If this continues, I am afraid that all the business benefits will be lost!"

"Hmph!" Qian Chu opened his eyes at this time and said coldly: "The country uses it as a businessman. This is the rule of ancestors. How can we easily abandon changes?"

"Since merchants have been in contact with Wu and Yue, they should abide by our rules. Even Tang people are no exception. The court should be more prepared to take action and those who steal profits and taxes will be severely punished!"

The southern countries have always been commerce-oriented. This is because most of the land is ripe twice a year or three years a year, and there is basically no shortage of food, so they attach importance to business and tax collection to meet national and military use.

This is naturally the case with the Wu Yue Kingdom. The treasury is highly dependent on commercial taxes, so the reduction and exemption are also a huge loss.

Qian Chu was not interested in the commercial taxes of the Tang State. He firmly maintained his own taxes. It was impossible to reduce or exempt. His Buddhist temple still needed money to build it!

Besides, if the national treasury is insufficient, how can we pay tribute to the Tang and China? Isn’t this a disaster for the destruction of the country?

"I understand!" Yuan Dezhao nodded, understood the bottom line of the king, and then said:

"In recent years, the weather has been abnormal and there has been drought in Jiangning Prefecture. Please allocate 500,000 guan to repair the ditches near Qiantang River!"

"This is what you should do, you can go down and do it!"

Qian Chu closed his eyes again, nodded slightly, and said with confidence.

"Old minister takes his leave!" After achieving his goal, Yuan Dezhao turned around and left.

Song State, Tokyo, in the palace.

"The summer harvest has passed, have the tribute from Wu and Yue Kingdom not been sent yet?"

Zhao Kuangyin was quite impatient. He read several memorials, but he couldn't read them. Looking at Zhao Fanzhi, Wei Renpu and other prime ministers who were closed and resting, he said with some annoyance.

The Central Plains have always been broken, and coupled with the intercept of vassal states from various places, the grain imported from the capital could only be barely effective, and other expenses would be difficult. For example, the army would overspend if it moves slightly, which makes Zhao Kuangyin miserable.

In recent years, he has been recuperating and has recovered, and the Huainan area has recovered a little, and he has solved some difficulties. There is still a little drought this year, and now he is still short of some money and food, which makes him quite anxious.

The tributes of Wu and Yue Kingdom and the tributes of Jiangnan were rare extra money in the previous years.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient!" Wei Renpu looked calm. He sat on the chair, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Wu Yue has always been aware of the general principles. In this matter, it will not exceed the rules. Your Majesty only needs to wait for a while!"

"Forget it!" Zhao Kuangyin's dark face relieved his sorrow. He raised his head, his face was wide and his ears were big. He looked at the prime ministers with a strong voice and said:

"As these days, we will get some financial power in the local area, and the vassal states will complain. Look, the Emperor of Tang has a word and claims to dismiss the local tribute in order to make his name!"

"I have heard of it!" Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "The tribute is indeed a harsh government in the local area. Your Majesty can also dismiss the matter, and it will be praised by all people!"

"We are also dedicated to serving the people, but there is something unspeakable!" Zhao Kuangyin was a little embarrassed. The cost of the harem was awesome and the local tribute was invaluable. Now that money and food are tight, the local tribute will be abolished, what should the harem eat?

He quickly changed the topic and said, "The Tang Dynasty's Transportation Office is good. It is difficult for local governments to handle wealth and the court, so it is naturally not allowed to make money. This is a good strategy for strong and weak branches!"

"But now, the time is not yet ripe!"

The prime ministers were speechless for a moment. You said nothing like you didn't say anything, it was nonsense.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Cui Yanjin, Xingyuan Prefecture, has offered 100,000 yuan of money. He is on the way and will arrive in Luoyang in two days!"

Zhao Pu was worthy of being the emperor's confidant and hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Okay!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed, his voice was extremely loud. He widened his eyes and said, "Xingyuan Mansion is also a wealthy land. Let him guard it for me, don't let someone take it away!"

Although there are only eight counties in Hanzhong, there are hundreds of thousands of people, with extremely rich money and food, and they can even give feedback to Guanzhong and the imperial court.
