    Chapter 283: Giving in While waiting for the agreement, Wanyan Xun has been wandering around the Black City for the past few days. He has not been to the Black City for more than half a year, but the changes for him are still great.  There are many pedestrians on the street, and most of them have happy and satisfied smiles on their faces. Such smiles come from the bottom of their hearts. Even in Zhongdu Prefecture, such a situation is rare.  Needless to say, there are rows of shops on the street. Not only do the goods have a wide variety, but they are also as cheap as ever.  In the past few years, Dajin has been either drought or flooded, and the currency notes have depreciated a lot without realizing it.  The only officially designated currency of the Jin Kingdom was banknotes. The court was short of money and either increased taxes or continued to print large amounts of banknotes. In the end, it was the common people who suffered.  Therefore, prices in Jinguo have increased by 30% compared to half a year ago.  Wanyan Xun was very curious as to why the prices in Heicheng were so cheap. Rice, oil, salt, meat, etc. were more than half cheaper than those in Zhongdu.  He walked into several shops at random and asked the shopkeeper this question.  The answers I received were all the same: taxes are low and customers are many, so it¡¯s no wonder things are not cheap.  But even with such low prices, their profits are higher than those of shops in Zhongdu or even Lin'an.  With small profits but quick turnover, the purchasing power of the people in Black City is not ordinary.  Walking on the streets of Heicheng, Wanyan Xun became more and more satisfied as he looked at it. Of course, he was not satisfied with Heicheng, but he saw the future of the seven state capitals of Dajin from the present of Heicheng.  If those seven state capitals will be the same as Heicheng in the future, and Daikin takes back those seven state capitals fifteen years later, Wanyan Xun is sure that Daikin will no longer have to worry about annual disaster relief.  Three days later, Wanyan Jing's sealed agreement was quickly returned. After reading the secret letter, Wanyan Xun immediately went to the palace and handed the agreement to Han Zhongwei. The trust between Dai Jin and Han Zhongwei  The agreement officially comes into effect.  Wanyan Xun's mission in Black City was half completed, and all that was left was to buy firearms from Han Zhongwei.  Wanyanjing also said in the letter that at least 35,000 landmines and 25,000 grenades need to be purchased this time.  "You guys haven't had a war recently, why did you buy so many firearms at once? Oh, it's for the Mongol Khanate." Han Zhongwei knew Wanyan Xun's intention of buying firearms as soon as he heard it.  "Master knows everything. He really bought it for the Kelie tribe." Wanyan Xun didn't hide it. There was no need to hide such a thing. If he didn't make it clear in advance, who knew whether Han Zhongwei would sell the firearm to him?  "Since it is bought for the Kled Tribe, does it mean that the Kled Tribe will pay for these firearms?" Han Zhongwei's eyes lit up. Although the second guard army under his command was composed of people from the Kled Tribe, last time Jammu  He went to see Wang Khan of the Kelei tribe, and he also sacrificed half of the tribe's cattle and sheep, but Wang Khan didn't see any of the property he had accumulated over decades.  "I, Dai Jin, paid the bill. Now that the Ke Lie Department is seriously injured, how can we have the money to buy firearms?" Wanyan Xun was shocked when he saw Han Zhongwei's appearance. He knew best that Han Zhongwei was the only one. If the Ke Lie Department paid the bill, maybe  The price of firearms will immediately increase several times.  "Is it you, Daikin, who pays the bill? Cash or barter?" Sure enough, Han Zhongwei sighed softly after hearing this.  "Let's barter. How about we exchange cattle, horses, and sheep?" Wan Yanxun said.  "I think the Klei tribe should pay the bill." Han Zhongwei said with a half-smile.  "No, no, I, Daikin, will definitely pay the bill. It's just that this year, my Daikin treasury is empty and I am temporarily unable to exchange money or ironware, saltpeter and other goods." Wanyan Xun explained quickly.  "Okay, I can give you this batch of firearms without even having to pay a penny." Han Zhongwei now knows the reality of the Jin Kingdom best. If Temujin hadn't been driven away by him, I'm afraid the Mongolian cavalry would have invaded the South several times.  This crumbling building of the Kingdom of Jin will collapse.  Now the Kingdom of Jin wants money but has no money, and wants people but no one. It is not an exaggeration to say that the oil has dried up and the lamp has dried up.  Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as Mongolia is not in chaos, it will not be a problem for the Jin Kingdom to support it for another few decades. But since God allows him to travel through time, it is impossible for the Jin Kingdom to turn around.  "You don't need me to pay a penny? Master, do you have any more deals to do with me?" Wan Yanxun asked nervously. He summarized every deal he and Han Zhongwei had made over a long period of time.  He was the one who suffered the loss and was deceived. He never took advantage of it. This agreement may be because Han Zhongwei was too eager for the land of the Kingdom of Jin, so he didn't open his mouth as much as the lion.  And now that he's asking for a raise for not even a penny, can he not be nervous?  "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you. Haven't we already signed a trusteeship agreement? In the future, I will have to pay the taxes of your seven state capitals. Instead of sending money and food, I will  How about converting it directly into firearms, so that it would be inconvenient for everyone?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. If firearms are used to deduct taxes, no matter how much the taxes in the seven states are, it will only be a drop in the bucket.   "Of course, but the price of your firearms can only be determined according to the price I negotiated with you last time in Chengdu." Wanyan Xun was overjoyed and was worrying about how to pay for the firearms, so Han Zhongwei gave the price  An idea.  Now Wanyan Xun is also very smart and knows that the price of firearms must be fixed first. Otherwise, if Han Zhongwei increases the price several times, the tax revenue of the seven state capitals may not be enough to buy many firearms.  "Of course there is no problem, but I don't know yet how much tax those seven states should pay each year." Han Zhongwei was also amused after seeing Yan Xun's nervous look. Wan Yan Xun was originally such a straightforward person, but after doing so  After becoming his apprentice, he became careless and useless.  "It doesn't matter, I'll sign for it first, and then I'll refund the money or make up for it." Wanyan Xun already had the brains of a businessman, and he quickly thought of a workaround.  Based on the calculation that one landmine costs 30 guan and one grenade costs 10 guan, 35,000 landmines and 25,000 grenades cost a total of 1.3 million guan.  It can be enough to offset the taxes of the seven states this year. Using firearms to deduct taxes is another win-win situation. The Kingdom of Jin can advance taxes in advance and pay one year's taxes to the collection before the Han Zhongwei people go to take over the city.  Come up.  When Wanyan Jing got the news, she also praised Wanyan Xun for his shrewdness and flexibility, which saved Daikin 1.3 million yuan in one go.  Wanyan Xun sent people to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire about the taxes of the seven states that were about to be handed over to Han Zhongwei's management. He found that Lintao, Fengxiang, Pingliang, Qingyang, Yan'an, Jingtao, and Hezhong had paid taxes last year.  The total tax revenue from the treasury is only 620,000 guan. Even if Han Zhongwei agrees to double it, he still has to pay Han Zhongwei 60,000 guan.  Wanyan Jing's eyes rolled, and he immediately asked someone to change the ledger and add 20,000 guan to each state's tax revenue last year. After calculation, the national treasury collected 760,000 guan last year. Now it was Han Zhongwei's turn to ask for it.  A supplementary payment of 220,000 yuan was made to Dai Jin.  With a slight change, Wanyan Jing was very proud of the gold.  Nowadays, Daikin has internal and external troubles, and there are too many places where money needs to be spent, so we can save whatever we can.  I casually changed the number, and it was nearly 300,000 yuan more in a year, which was enough for the palace to spend half a year.  But Wanyan Jing seems to have forgotten something: the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.  His original intention was just not to pay for Han Zhongwei's remaining firearms, but after officials of the Dajin court learned that the emperor actually ordered to increase the number of Lintao, Fengxiang, Pingliang, Qingyang, Yan'an, Jingtao, Hezhong  After the taxation of these seven state capitals, it will be the same immediately.  Now that the trusteeship agreement for these seven state capitals has spread, Han Zhongwei, who appears from nowhere, will pay double the taxes paid by these seven state capitals last year.  Now that the tax revenue of these seven state capitals last year was changed to 760,000 guan, Han Zhongwei will have to pay 1.52 million guan next year.  If the tax revenue of these seven state capitals is changed to 1.76 million guan, wouldn't Han Zhongwei have to pay 3.52 million guan next year?  In the end, the people below will be added, but Wanyan Jing can't stand it. The more he collects now, maybe Han Zhongwei will be brought back from those seven state capitals. Although those places are now under the care of Han Zhongwei, there is always a problem.  We are still the people of Daikin, and we will still return to the embrace of Daikin in the future.  " Han Zhongwei didn't know that he had been taken advantage of. Before he left, he would have to pay an extra 2.28 million yuan in taxes every year.  After Wanyan Xun left with 35,000 landmines and 25,000 grenades, Han Zhongwei immediately held a meeting with all his confidants.  No one knew what happened. Except for a few people from Zhongxing Mansion, everyone else rushed to the palace within one day.  "Everyone, take a look at this first." After Han Zhongwei and others arrived, they took out the custody agreement signed with Jin Guo and handed it to Zhang Zhongtong next to him.  "What is it? Brother Zhang, you should read it out." Ding Chuan was the most anxious. He knew that Wan Yanxun came to Black City, but he did not know the content of the agreement with Han Zhongwei.  An excellent intelligence officer will always maintain a curious heart, and he can't help but shout loudly.  "Okay, this is a great happy event." Zhang Zhongtong said with a smile.  "Brother Zhang, please tell me quickly what kind of happy event it is." Du Gao was also very anxious after hearing this. If his neck hadn't been long enough, he would have stretched his head in front of Zhang Zhongtong.  "This is a trusteeship agreement. The general idea is that the Kingdom of Jin will hand over all the three prefectures of Lintao Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Jingtao Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture to the prince for ten years.  Five years, and the prince can send his own troops and officials to manage and guard these seven state capitals during these fifteen years. In other words, in the next fifteen years, these seven state capitals are equivalent to the prince.  "Zhang Zhongtong stroked the beard under his chin and said with a smile. He had just glanced at it and was surprised. This is heaven.What a happy event, why haven't I heard anything about it before?  "Wanyan Xun came here this time for this matter. Considering that the conditions were not agreed upon at that time, I did not notify you." Han Zhongwei sat on the main seat and said with a smile.  "Your Majesty, how could the Kingdom of Jin be so kind as to give away these seven state capitals?" Ding Chuan asked.  "Of course this is conditional. The Kingdom of Jin requires me to no longer support Jamukha so that the king of the Klei tribe can unseat Jamukha. Of course, our interests in the Mongolian Khanate will not suffer any losses. Jamukha used to be  Whatever conditions He agreed to, Wang Khan of the Kelie tribe would also comply." Han Zhongwei explained the ins and outs of the matter.  "I see, but our guard city has basically been built, where will my first division and the second guard army go?" Du Gao then asked.  "When Jamukha was here, the guard city had already been built. In the future, whether Jamukha becomes the Khan King or Wang Khan becomes the Khan King, our interests cannot be infringed. Therefore, the Guard City will be safe now and in the future.  It's ours. As for the Second Guard Army, I mean to transfer them back and let them garrison Yan'an Mansion," Han Zhongwei said. The Second Guard Army is all composed of people from the Klie tribe, but now that the guard has been formed.  It is simply impossible for the Second Army to take it away from Han Zhongwei.  After this period of rigorous training, these people's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. Although they are not equipped with firearms yet, they are definitely a first-class strong army on the grassland.  "Will Wang Khan agree?" Ding Chuan asked worriedly.  "Of course he doesn't want to agree, but the meat has been eaten into his stomach, is there any reason to spit it out?" Han Zhongwei asked with a sneer.  "Yes, the Second Guard Army must be transferred back, otherwise not only Wang Khan will be dissatisfied, but Jamuka will also be dissatisfied in the future." Zhang Zhongtong nodded. Since returning to the Black City on the grassland, Han Zhongwei has not let him  Back to the cement factory, another person was arranged there. Now he is working in the palace. Although Han Zhongwei did not arrange a position for him, he can do the same things as Han Zhongwei's general manager, even more important than the general manager. He handles almost all the big and small matters of Han Zhongwei.  It's all handled by him.  "Your Majesty really doesn't intend to support Jamukha anymore?" Ding Chuan was only worried about intelligence issues and ignored the mobilization of the army. Han Zhongwei's attitude directly determined his future conduct.  "Of course not, but the icing on the cake is not as good as the icing on the cake. I merged with Jamu without establishing an alliance. Now I help him establish the Mongolian Khanate, and support him to the position of Khan King, becoming the Genghis Khan of Mongolia. I am worthy of him.  . If there is a rebellion within the Mongol Khanate, he can't come to me again, right? Even if he comes to me again, it will be another business." Han Zhongwei smiled, of course he would not let Jamuhe fail.  Wang Khan and Han Zhongwei of Liebu preferred Jamukha.  Jamukha did not have much ambition. His ambition was to unify the Mongolian grasslands and let the people of Changshengtian on the grasslands live a prosperous and peaceful life, and Han Zhongwei could help him do this.  But that King Khan is an insatiable person. If he is allowed to sit on the throne of King Khan, it is still unknown whether his interests on the grassland can be preserved.  "Your Majesty, do you mean to wait until the fight between Jamuka and the Kele tribe is at its most intense before helping?" Zhang Zhongtong's eyes lit up. He had never had a good impression of the Mongols. No matter how many of these barbarians died,  He won't even care.  "Of course, but before, we at most provided some help secretly. After all, Jamukha is now Genghis Khan. He has to ask outsiders to help him with his own internal conflicts. I'm afraid he himself will be embarrassed, right?" Han Zhongwei smiled.  "Your Majesty, I want to go to the Guard City." Ding Chuan actually knew very well how much Han Zhongwei valued Jamukha. Han Zhongwei was from the Song Dynasty, but he was now very close to the Jin Kingdom. If this was spread back to the Song Kingdom, he would definitely be exposed.  Called a traitor.  Han Zhongwei would rather take such a risk and would rather unite with the Kingdom of Jin to resolve the issues on the Mongolian grasslands first. Obviously, in Han Zhongwei's view, Mongolia worries him more than the Kingdom of Jin.  "It's not necessary. As long as the news about the Guard City can be sent back in time, it doesn't matter whether you are in the Guard City or not. Besides, we are about to take over the seven state capitals of the Jin Kingdom. Without you as an expert in intelligence, how can I rest assured? You can send someone capable.  Just go to the Guard City. With the First Division of the First Guard Corps here, I believe there will be no trouble in Mongolia," Han Zhongwei said calmly.  "Your Majesty asked me to go to Fengxiang Road?" Ding Chuan was delighted.  "That's right, not only are you going, but everyone sitting here will probably have to go. Of course, one of them has to stay to see the house." Han Zhongwei swept his eyes around the faces of everyone, and finally landed on Zhang Zhongtong's face.  Go up, "Brother Zhang, I'll leave the affairs in Black City to you." "No problem, just go ahead, Prince." Zhang Zhongtong said firmly.  "Your Majesty, how many people do we have to protect the First Army?horse?  "Du Gao is also gearing up. He is from the Song Dynasty. It would be false to say that he is not excited about being able to lead an army and station it openly on the land of the Jin Kingdom. "Let's go to ten divisions.  "Han Zhongwei said. "Ten divisions?  Is this too much?  "Of course Du Gao hopes to send as many troops as possible, but the First Guard Army originally only had fifteen divisions. Now the First Division has gone to the Mongolian grassland. If ten more divisions are transferred at once, the entire seven northern states will be destroyed.  There are only four divisions left, that is, 40,000 troops. This number of people is just enough to defend, and it is impossible to carry out any military operations.  Once the news comes that the state government has entrusted me with it, how will the Zhongxing government react?  "Han Zhongwei shook his head and asked in a deep voice. "Zhongxing Mansion?  Li An, does he dare?  Now the capital garrison is under the control of Brother Bi, and the emperor's guard is also ours. Even the proton army, haha, unless he doesn't want to live anymore, I'm afraid he won't dare to act rashly.  "Ding Chuan smiled hoarsely. Although Li An'an is the emperor of Xixia, as long as Han Zhongwei is unhappy, his head will probably disappear when he sleeps at night. In such an environment, will he be detrimental to Han Zhongwei? "Try  You'll know if you try it?  " Han Zhongwei smiled. The reason why he specifically transferred ten divisions was to give Li Ping'an the illusion that this was the best opportunity to take action. After passing this village, there would be no such store. "I think even if Li An'an is there, he will have the best chance to take action.  If Ping An doesn't want to take action, Jin Guo will send someone to instigate him.  "Zhang Zhongtong said calmly. "By the way, Wanyan Xun did not return to Zhongdu. After leaving the city, he made a circle and then went to Zhongxing Mansion.  I'm still wondering why this kid went to Zhongxing Mansion. Now it seems that he must be meeting Li An'an." Ding Chuan slapped his thigh and suddenly exclaimed. "This way we can have fun. Write to Bi Zaiyu immediately and ask him to  Li An'an submitted his resignation, which made Li An'an's "chances of winning" even greater.  "Han Zhongwei said with a smile. "Prevent collection ()
