Chapter 574 Easy Battle of Annan

The emperor only has one dragon throne. Since the crown prince is established, other princes will have no chance. Rich and idle people will be their best end.

Ye Hua was able to accept the second prince and train him well, so that he could become a talent. The Chai family would have descendants. They could not only make up for Chai Rong's debts, but also comfort Chai Shouli's lonely heart. It was really a killing two birds with one stone.

Some people may ask, Fu Sandun also has children in his stomach, and if he has an apprentice and neglects the little thing! In fact, there is no need to worry about the little guy at all. Ye Hua has a title and a lot of things that can be inherited by him, it depends on the little guy's interest.

And this is also Ye Hua’s initial idea. How to develop depends on the child himself.

For example, Brother Guo Xing, Ye Hua hopes that he will learn to do business, but Brother Guo Xing is all interested in mathematics, physics and chemistry. He has made an irrigation water truck and made a water and air conditioner. Recently, the little guy's interest has shifted to gunpowder. He heard that he ran to the champion square every day, and the mute man was frightened, for fear that his highness would be damaged at all, so he could not afford it.

The mute man specially sent two people to take care of Brother Guo Xing, only allowed to watch and not touch each other.

Even after being restricted, Brother Guo Xing was happy with it and vowed to build the most powerful firearm in the world.

Ye Hua respects children's ideas very much. As long as he likes, he will let them do whatever he wants.

At present, we still have to deal with the matter in Jiangnan. After all, we have just conquered such a large area of ​​land and everything is in trouble. It is urgent to restore Jiangnan. The quickest way is to re-operate the silk industry that Li Hongji messed up.

Although Li Hongji made a mess, his actions stirred up a pond of spring water and opened a breakthrough... The greatest contribution of this late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was to reduce the difficulty of reform in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Prince Hongji had a spirit in the sky, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"The workshops in the government are under the palace, and are temporarily responsible by the Taifu Chai. The workshops controlled by the big families are valuated and sold to other merchants, and they are legally operated."

Ye Hua discovered that ancient scholars were really awesome!

With fame and fortune, you can carry a certain amount of goods, travel long distances and do not need to pay taxes along the road. This regulation initially considered that officials should regularly adjust their official positions, run around, and carry some property with them. In order to facilitate the relocation of officials, taxes are exempted.

But if it is truly implemented, it will soon be gone.

Officials used the excuse of tax exemption to carry goods on a large scale, or simply counted the goods of other merchants in their own name, and evaded taxes openly.

Some people are even more rampant. They ask their subordinates to trade goods for a long distance and evade taxes under their own banner.

In short, taxation is like a big net, there cannot be any exceptions, otherwise you will be able to get nothing.

The aristocratic families, bureaucrats and merchants directly participated in the business. Not only did they evade taxes seriously, but they also bullied and exploited the mulberry households by relying on their power.

The imperial merchants did a lot of things, but they were much smaller in scale, but with too many ants, they could kill elephants. Dozens of families gathered together, which was even more harmful than the imperial merchants!

Chai Rong is the most sensitive to taxes. His Majesty the Emperor adheres to one principle, that is, no one can take advantage of him!

Tax evasion?

Not a penny!

Chai Rong decisively issued an order to resell the silk workshop confiscated from the wealthy families to ordinary merchants. There is no doubt that this was a fortune from heaven and all the merchants in Jiangnan were crazy.

The sensitive Su merchants first arrived in Jinling, followed closely by Zhejiang merchants and Fujian merchants, and even the merchants from Lingnan came to join in the fun.

Who doesn’t know that silk makes money and is profitable. A ship of silk can be exchanged for half a ship of silver if it is transported out.

In the past, there were royal merchants monopolizing, and there were major families below. They controlled mulberry fields with their left hand and workshops with their right hand. From planting mulberry trees to weaving and spinning silkworms, to overseas sales, they took all the links, and in addition, all the tax-free process was exempted, and ordinary small merchants could not compete at all.

Now the Great Zhou emperor has completely broken the situation. The great bureaucrats of the great families have lost their advantage in land. The prices of raw silk materials are basically the same. All workshops pay taxes together. This is equivalent to putting all merchants on the same starting line.

This is unprecedented!

People in Jiangnan seem to be born to do business, including Suzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang businessmen, each of whom is smarter and more capable, motivated and dares to think and do it.

They had already planned and immediately expanded the scale after taking over the workshop, and they immediately made a big move, and made a big move... Everyone was busy with their work, and as the female god of wealth, Fu San planned earlier.

She also bought three workshops, which together had 500 looms.

To be honest, this number is too small and completely incompatible with the work of the Female God of Wealth.

In fact, Fu San did not intend to make money from silk.

"Work more silk, you need to export more goods. The hottest thing next is not a workshop, but a ship!" Fu San chuckled and said, "I judge that the price of ships will soar in the future. Think about it, transporting people out, selling silk, and transporting overseas grain and local products back, all of them will require ships. The profit of shipbuilding will be more than several times more than silk. Also, the risks at sea are very high, and you must have the ability to protect yourself, and the demand for weapons will become very amazing."

Fu Sanxiao said: "I have invested in Jiaozhou Shipyard and are planning to build a Yangtze River Shipyard in Liujiagang, and also build an ordnance workshop to undertake the export of foreign weapons. In addition, I want to build a machinery factory to produce better textile machines..."

Fu San smiled and told Miss Han what she wanted to do next.

Miss Han was stunned when she heard this. She once thought that a woman who knew poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, and women's red knitting were already amazing. She was enough to be a talented woman.

But compared with Fu San in front of her, it was a very different person, and her vision and mind were much worse. Miss Han secretly thought that any woman in the world would feel ashamed of herself when facing her. No wonder Ye Hua would be devoted and even promised that the only one in her life was the only one she earned!

"Madam, you are really a heroine, and you will make us women look good!" Miss Han's eyes were filled with stars, and she almost became a fan of Fu San.

Fu San chuckled, "It's all big talk. Whether it can be done depends on Annan. As long as General Ren can win and knock on Annan's gate, my plan can be implemented smoothly, otherwise it will be all fantasies."

When talking about her husband, Miss Han immediately cheered up. Perhaps the only thing she proud of now is the seemingly rude husband.

Her eyes were firm, "I believe that Langjun will do it!"

...

After Ren Tianxing got married for half a month, he led his fleet south. Two national uncles and Taihu thief Liu Chuang set off with him!

To be ashamed, there are thousands of elite soldiers and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but those who are familiar with water war are just pirates and pirates!

Moreover, although Taihu Lake is vast, it is not as good as the sea.

The waves are turbulent and magnificent.

Liu Chuang felt very uncomfortable in the first few days. There was no fresh water at the sea, and the clean water he carried would deteriorate even if he didn't drink it after a few days. Therefore, the sailors at the sea quenched their thirst with rice wine, and almost everyone had big wine bags and were drunk every day.

In addition, there are no vegetables at sea, so you can only eat bean sprouts every day. Today is mung bean sprouts and tomorrow is soybean sprouts. Liu Chuang wants to spit when he sees the bean sprouts.

Fortunately, before leaving, Ye Hua prepared several wooden boxes for them, stuffed them with soil, and then transplanted some vegetables that had already blossomed and bear fruit.

Although fresh water is spoiled, watering vegetables is still OK.

Liu Chuang was careful and watered the cucumber beans as if serving the baby. Finally, the cucumber grew five inches long. He couldn't wait to pull it down and stuff it into his mouth.

After eating the fragrant and delicious cucumber, this is the taste of happiness. Liu Chuang even felt that even if he died now, it would be worth it!

Finally, after a difficult voyage, they were getting closer and closer to Annan. The compass provided by Ye Hua helped the fleet a lot. Ren Tianxing calculated that he had saved at least half of the navigation time.

Annan is so close!

Since Qin Shihuang counted, Annan has been in the Central Plains dynasty for more than a thousand years. Although there have been changes in dynasties and rebellions often occur in Annan, overall, Annan is the territory of the Central Plains dynasty.

However, with the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the Lingnan area was controlled by the Southern Han Dynasty. The weak Southern Han Dynasty was unable to control Jiaozhou, and the locals rebelled frequently.

Twenty years ago, a man named Wu Quan defeated the Southern Han army, occupied Jiaozhou, and proclaimed himself king.

Since he did not have the founding of the country, he was only called the Wu Dynasty.

This also became the beginning of Annan's escape from the Central Plains dynasty.

Wu Quan is now dead, and his son Wu Changwen ascended the throne after dealing with the powerful minister Yang Sange.

"I said the owner of the ship, uh no, it's General Ren, how are you going to fight?"

Ren Tianxing widened his eyes when he heard Liu Chuang’s question.

"How to type anything, just one word: do it!"

Ren Tianxing said this and did it. He led the fleet to take the Baiteng Riverkou. The Annan people fought with the Nanhan Navy here twenty years ago and won a great victory.

They inserted wooden stakes at the river entrance to prevent large ships from entering.

Ren Tianxing didn't care at all. His big ship was equipped with copper horns and rushed out of the wooden stakes. The soldiers who were holding back all the way, screamed and rushed to Annan's land.

There was nothing fancy. Ren Tianxing asked someone to bring the bed crossbow to the shore and accompany the army to advance. He marched all the way to Daluo City. During this period, Wu Changwen sent troops to block the situation, but he was defeated by Ren Tianxing.

In the end, he personally led 200 million people to fight the Zhou Bing.

Compared with the huge battle of the Central Plains, this battle is simply unreasonable.

Annan soldiers lurked and rushed towards the Great Zhou. Hundreds of bed crossbows kept firing, and the Annan soldiers died like leeks!

Wu Changwen was dissatisfied with Dazhou's crossbow arrows and came forward to supervise the battle himself. While he was screaming, an arrow shot through his war horse's neck, then passed through the base of his thighs, and one leg fell neatly to the ground.

The king of Annan screamed in pain and fell straight down to the ground. The body of the war horse fell down, pressing him into the mud and water...
