"Is there anything else?" Yang Guozhu glanced at Xue Mu, who was still here.
Xue Mu bowed and said: "There is something, and it is related to the Tiger Flag. The student thinks that Dong Weng should be informed."
"What's the matter?" Yang Guozhu put down the tureen in his hand and looked serious.
He will take everything related to the Tiger-Character Flag seriously, because he knows that the Tiger-Character Flag is not an ordinary Ming Dynasty business name. Once the problem of the Tiger-Character Flag is not resolved, it is likely to evolve into another corrupt Liaodong.
Xue Mu said: "The student heard from the person sent by Huang Shoujiang to deliver the money that all the merchants in Xinpingbao paid the tax honestly. Only the store with the tiger character flag in Xinpingbao refused to pay the tax and The people who went to collect tax money were kicked out in public."
After speaking, he looked up at Yang Guozhu who was sitting on the main seat.
Yang Guozhu twirled his beard and asked Xue Mu, "How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
"The students believe that this matter must not be settled here. People in the Tiger Character Banner must know that doing business in the Ming Dynasty must follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the Tiger Character Banner or other merchants, they must pay taxes as usual. "Xue Mu said righteously.
Yang Guozhu looked thoughtful.
After a moment, he said: "Everyone in Datong knows that the tax money collected by Xinpingbao is used to expand the frontier camp and prepare for the future against the Tiger Flag. It is impossible for the people of the Tiger Flag not to know this. "
The tax money collected from merchants was to deal with the Tiger Flag. He didn't think the people in the Tiger Flag would be stupid enough to use the money to deal with him.
"We can take action and forcibly collect taxes on the Tiger Character Banner." Xue Mu said, "Now the main strength of the Tiger Character Banner is on the grassland. There are only a few shops and some clerks left in Xinping Fort. Huang Shou General can The shops in Tiger Flag were sealed.”
After speaking, he looked at Yang Guozhu.
Yang Guozhu frowned slightly and said, "You mean to test the tiger flag?"
"This is indeed what the student planned." Xue Mu nodded.
Yang Guozhu thought for a while and said: "It's a good idea, but have you ever thought about what if the Tiger Flag army is attracted to attack Datong Town?"
"This..." Xue Mu paused.
Just listen to Yang Guozhu continue to say: "Now is not the best time to take action against the Tiger Flag. The recruits have not been trained well, and the court has no intention. If I take action at this time, even if I win the Tiger Flag in Datong, I will not be able to defeat the Tiger Flag." We are unable to send troops to the grassland. As long as the foundation of the Tiger Character Flag on the grassland remains intact, there is a possibility that the Tiger Character Flag will make a comeback at any time."
He understood clearly that if he wanted to completely eradicate the Tiger Flag, it would be useless to expel the Tiger Flag forces in Datong. He also had to deal with the Tiger Flag forces on the grassland.
However, the soldiers and horses in Datong Town were simply unable to go to the grassland to deal with the Tiger Flag. They could only wait for the imperial army to be dispatched before they could go north to the grassland.
"Tiger Character Banner has astonishing wealth. He shouldn't rebel against the imperial court just because several shops in Xinpingbao were closed down!" Xue Mu said hesitantly.
He was not optimistic that Tiger Flag would have the courage to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
Even though the Tiger Character Banner has now conquered the Tumote tribe, it is still not the same size as the Ming Dynasty.
He believed that the reason why the Tiger Character Flag existed today was entirely because the imperial court focused its main energy on dealing with slave thieves in Liaodong. Once the imperial court focused its attention on the Tiger Character Flag, the Tiger Character Flag would be destroyed sooner or later.
"You don't understand." Yang Guozhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Many people in Datong are watching now. Once the Tiger Flag shows timidity, these people watching will pounce on the Tiger Flag and bite him. , Liu Heng was able to make the tiger-character flag as big as it is now, he cannot fail to understand this truth."
In my heart, I was slightly disappointed with Xue Mu, the staff member in front of me.
If Zhou Xun, who had been with him for many years, was still there, he wouldn't need to explain this at all.
Xue Mu noticed some dissatisfaction flashing across Yang Guozhu's face, and understood that what he had just said made the other party unhappy, and knew that it was not appropriate to mention the tiger-character flag shops in Xinpingbao.
"Student understands, go and tell the people from Xinpingbao not to attack Tiger Flag's shop." Xue Mu said respectfully.
Yang Guozhu raised his eyelids and said, "The person who sent the tax money from Xinpingbao hasn't left yet?"
He understood in his heart that Huang An from Xinping Fort wanted to take action against the Tiger Flag, but he was worried about causing trouble and wanted to test the attitude of his commander-in-chief through Xue Mu.
After all, as long as he agrees, even if something happens in the future, he, the commander-in-chief, will be responsible for it, and Huang An's responsibility will not be too great.
"I haven't left yet. I'm still waiting for a reply." Xue Mu replied.
Yang Guozhu nodded lightly and said: "Go ahead and send a message to Huang An by the way. The tiger-character flag cannot be in Xinpingbao's shop, otherwise if something happens, I will be the first to punish him."
"The student has taken note of it." Xue Mu bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Xue Mu came out of the gate of the General Military Mansion.
A man guarding the gate hurriedly came up to him and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xue, what did the general say? Do you agree to search the shop with the tiger character flag?"
After the tax money was sent to the General Military Mansion, he had been waiting outside the General Military Mansion, waiting for news about Xue Mu.
Xue Mu stood on the stone steps in front of the door, looking condescendingly at the people coming from Xinping Fort, and said: "Go back and tell your guards to stop trying to build a tiger-shaped flag shop. The general said that it will never be allowed at this time. We have to wait for the imperial court's order to take action against the Tiger Flag."
"Can you please tell the general soldier that the Huziqi family does not pay commercial taxes, and it is not easy to collect commercial taxes from other families in Xinpingbao, and the largest business in Xinpingbao is Huziqi's shop, and their family There are several other shops on top of it," a person from Xinpingbao complained.
He came to Datong Fucheng with a mission.
Before coming, Huang An told him to find a way to obtain the consent of the General Military Mansion so that he could take action against Tiger Flag's shop in Xinpingbao.
The reason why he took action was not only because Zhao Yutu humiliated Huang An with a penny, but also because the business of Tiger Flag in Xinpingbao Shop was so good.
As long as the shop is closed down and a little bit of it is poured out from the fingers, the Xinpingbao Guards Mansion can be fully fed.
"No, we are absolutely not allowed to attack Tiger Flag's shop." Xue Mu's face sank.
The visitor from Xinpingbao said with a bitter face: "All the other shops in Xinpingbao have paid commercial tax, and only the shop with the tiger character flag does not pay the commercial tax. It can easily cause dissatisfaction among the shopkeepers of other shops, and in the end they will all follow the example of the tiger character flag and refuse to pay the commercial tax." Paying business tax may delay the expansion of the border army camp by the General Military Mansion."
"Are you threatening me?" Xue Mu narrowed his eyes.
The visitor from Xinpingbao realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I dare not threaten Mr. Xue. It is really difficult for my guard."
"This is your own business." Xue Mu snorted, and then said, "I can't care about anything else, but the tax money sent next month cannot be less than this time."
Hearing this, the visitor from Xinpingbao looked even more bitter.
