When Liu Bin stood in front of Cheng Jinzhou, he was already a bad old man. To be honest, standing next to Liu Qingshuang, who was very fond of his bright eyes, his competitiveness could be said to be infinitely close to zero.

So Xiao Cheng held Liu Qingshuang's hand without hesitation and invited her to ride a carriage instead of talking to her father-in-law about the future of mankind and the topic of reform.

Liu Bin looked as if he was a father-in-law among the nobles, he was probably happy to be a father-in-law. He could do two sons to do their jobs, and he could see his daughter at any time and enjoy the family happiness of being alone. But marrying his daughter to a star sorcerer, the troubles of the noble father-in-law suddenly became more and more difficult. Because the time period of the star sorcerer was too long and wandering too far, it would take a long time to appear.

On the other hand, their wages are very high and they are very busy at work, and they rarely work for their father-in-law for free. The noble daughter married a sorcerer son-in-law, just like a Timberwolves married an eagle, and from the north to the east, their control was greatly weakened.

If it were other young nobles, Liu Bin would definitely pull him off the horse, and then after saying what he wanted to say, he would turn on his horse.

But now, he has to climb onto the carriage first.

It’s not that he is really timid, but when the agreement in hand needs to be signed by Cheng Jinzhou, it is also necessary to soften his attitude accordingly.

The airship was flying over the clouds, and the oxygen was thin. Cheng's mother had been sleepy for a long time and fell asleep in another car.

After getting on the car, Liu Qingshuang smiled and left enough space in the carriage. He nudged Cheng Jinzhou with his bare hands and said, "You talk first, I'm fine."

"Is it okay to be in Hexi?" Cheng Jinzhou still asked.

"Everyone is very friendly, and the prostitute Ningyun made dumplings for me." Liu Qingshuang covered her mouth and smiled: "She can make dumplings that several people have divided with just one little girl."

Cheng Jinzhou had never been to Hexi himself, so he didn't know who Liu Qingshuang was talking about, but he still smiled in line with him.

After saying this for two minutes, after asking all the things you should ask after the parting, Cheng Jinzhou turned to Liu Bin and smiled: "My father-in-law, what do you want me to see?"

"The final agreement." Liu Bin's dark face was limited. He deliberately threw the copy in his hand in the carriage.

Everyone sat cross-legged in the carriage, and Cheng Jinzhou picked it up and read it as if nothing had happened. Such an agreement is a real gentleman agreement. To be honest, binding force is nothing more than solving the current situation.

From a modern perspective, the agreement is not very standardized, so it can only be said that the content is explained clearly, and it basically meets the requirements of Cheng Jinzhou, especially the Guide'an County Government, which has a commercial tax ratio of four provinces, which is very subtle.

From this point of view, within two or three years, the court did not get any benefits, but it was just a little glamorous on the surface.

Considering his exhibition in two or three years, Cheng Jinzhou smiled slightly and closed the document and said: "Mr. Liu, the future matters have been clearly explained, but in the past three months, the four provinces have finally prepared how to calculate the liquor money they received. There is no written on it."

"According to your six and four, I will be transported to you the next day."

"That's not OK. The four provinces did not accept my consent before, and they collected lijin, not commercial tax, so they had to refund them all to the merchants." Cheng Jinzhou said it with certainty and said, "This, I won't tell you, if any province did not return the lijin to me the next day, I will personally go and ask the local governor for trouble."

Liu Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Jinzhou is just a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver."

He was really qualified to despise tens of thousands of taels of silver. As a great nobleman, the Liu family had more than tens of thousands of taels of silver in any province. The Xiding Villa, which was given to Cheng Jinzhou on the same day, was a proof.

However, Cheng Jinzhou also has his own position. He cannot let the governments of the four provinces take the money and then pay it back to the merchants. It is even more impossible to go back on his word. Therefore, he shook his head firmly and said, "If the four provinces do not pay back the money, this is a personal grudge. If I don't cause trouble to the court, I will ask the governor for trouble to the governor.

"Who dares not return if you say that?" Liu Bin sighed and placed the document on the small table in front of him, saying: "There is the end of the affairs of the official family. Let's talk about private matters. From next month, tariffs will be collected. My idea is to start with the grain. Although the cloth and silk are increasing, we must consider it."

"Do you call tariffs a private matter?" Cheng Jinzhou had never experienced the real Daxia officialdom. The affairs between the nobles were discussed and negotiated in the territory of the nobles, and many things did turn from public affairs to private matters. This is the disadvantage of civilian officials. You squeeze hard, and you can't go where the nobles can go.

Liu Bin wrinkled his nose and said, "I want to collect 30% of the tax on grain. Let's see who dares to transport grain in. If this continues, farmers will not grow grain next year."

"I think it's because the nobles don't make money, right?" Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and laughed. The noble manors in each county occupy the best land and produce the most grain, which are all grains used for commodity trading. The grain produced by ordinary farmers every year is actually mainly used for their own consumption. If it is a good year, in addition to some problems in repaying debts, the impact will be much smaller than the nobles.

Liu Bin smiled without saying a word. It is true that his reforms were targeting the nobles, but it may not be possible to say that the whole person opposes the aristocratic system. Just like the reformers in history, the reasons for their request for reform have been ever-changing, and the camp they are in are also ever-changing.

"I don't object to the tax on grain, and linen cannot be taxed." Cheng Jinzhou said without hiding the latter: "I want to use linen."

Liu Bin nodded in surprise and said, "Then it is copper and silver. These two, my opinion is not taxable."

"Unless you are sure to collect taxes, you will not collect taxes." Cheng Jinzhou determined the basic principles in one sentence and said: "You may be able to study content such as export tax rebates to encourage exports."

"Export? What are the benefits of sending people's wealth outside the territory?"

"Let's come back when we need something." Cheng Jinzhou was really convinced by his father-in-law. He and Cheng Yunan were actually the same type of people. He always cared about his own class, and he was pitiful about other people. Lord Yunan probably cared about ordinary people and literati. Liu Bin might be broadened to the entire Daxia people, but the meaning was the same.

As the two of them slowly got out of the car, Cheng Zhai naturally had corresponding etiquette. After all, Liu Youshuang was a wife who had not passed the door. There could not be any excessive ceremony. Everyone passed by the door smoothly quickly.

"Let's get some food first. After my mother wakes up, we will have dinner together." Cheng Jinzhou explained and invited him, "Father-in-law, come together."

He was talking when a sound of breaking through the air unique to the astral warlock came.

Duan Rui flew straight down and said without waiting for it to fall, "The astral warlock is back."

"who?"

"Take the Zhao boy away." Duan Rui gasped, his expression slightly nervous.
