King Zhao will not move to northern Hubei in the short term, but the situation outside the pass is uncertain.
Although Shengze personally went to the Jiayu clan royal court to negotiate, he and Liang Cheng both knew that this temporary peace treaty was not stable.
This also means that Northern Hubei has now become a real isolated island, and I don’t know how long it will take to fight alone.
The only good thing is that as long as King Zhao still has scruples, he will not dare to raise troops against Northern Hubei for at least two years. And with King Zhao blocking the court, it will not be easy to deal with Northern Hubei.
At this time, what Liang Cheng was most excited about was that high-yield food crops had been found in northern Hubei. Two years would be enough to promote them throughout northern Hubei. The autumn harvest in two years later, not to mention other crops, would be enough to satisfy the harvest of sweet potatoes. One to two years of rations for the Northern Hubei Army!
This is also their greatest confidence now.
Thinking of this, Liang Cheng suddenly felt that he should no longer be indifferent to the Shen family because of his previous scruples, especially the girl Shen Qingqian. She was a lucky star and should be pampered.
"Here comes someone," Liang Cheng suddenly shouted to the outside of the tent, "go to Linshuigou to spread the word. From now on, the Shen family members no longer need to be treated like prisoners."
It's just that without the treatment of a refugee, the status of a refugee cannot be changed for the time being.
As soon as he said this, Zheng Shicheng, Niu Manzi and others all looked at him, leaving Monk Zhang Er confused.
Didn't they just say that the imperial court gave up on them? Why did you mention the Shen family again?
Not to mention these people being shocked, even Shengze didn't expect why Liang Cheng would suddenly issue such an order.
Seeing this, Liang Cheng coughed twice and said, "Ms. Liang of the Shen family is my cousin. As a cousin, I always have to take care of her."
Everyone: "..."
This is a bit much. Speaking of caring, how long have the Shen family and others been here? What have you been doing for the past half year?
Liang Cheng was also a bit speechless.
Speaking of which, the main reason why he alienated the Liang family was due to the grudges of the previous generation. Later, when he gained power in the army, he was afraid that unpredictable events would bring disaster to other Liang family members, so not only did he not get married, he also publicly severed ties with the Liang family.
When Liang and the others were exiled to northern Hubei last year, he also considered Sheng Zhan's attitude and did not clarify the relationship between the two parties.
But ask yourself, if he hadn't turned a blind eye, would the Shen family have been able to live so smoothly in northern Hubei?
"So what, Cheng San, how's the matter with your caravan going?" In order to resolve the embarrassment, Liang Cheng quickly changed the subject.
Sheng Ze thought of what happened when he and Shen Qingqian went to meet Li Hezhou a few days ago and couldn't help but smile. "It went very well. We can send people to do business outside the customs after the spring plowing."
"That's pretty fast, but how to collect the caravan tax?" Liang Cheng was concerned about this. After all, the Northern Hubei Army was in urgent need of a large amount of military pay.
Shengze thought for a while and explained in detail: "This matter was discussed by Miss Six. She suggested that the tax collection method should be adopted in stages, which is divided according to the transaction amount. Each stage has different tax collection standards..."
In fact, it is almost the same as the modern personal income tax, but Shen Qingqian changed it according to the current situation. It is equivalent to an improved version that combines the modern personal income tax and the industrial and commercial tax. It will not make the merchants feel too much loss, but also make northern Hubei The army quickly regained health through the caravan.
And she also promised that when the Northern Hubei Army stabilizes, this tax collection standard can be discussed again.
This kind of tax collection method was still unheard of in the Jin Dynasty. Even Shengze, the prince who was regarded as the heir to the throne, had never heard of it. You can imagine Li Hezhou's expression at that time.
However, the huge profits still made Li Hezhou willing to join the game, and the two parties signed a contract on the spot.
Just as Liang Cheng was about to praise Shen Qingqian, someone came from outside the tent to report, "General, Mr. Shan wants to see you."
Shengze suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the curtain, Shan Mancheng was here? Why did he come at this time?
