Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

In other words, half a month later, as long as they can deal with most of the refugees who have no household registration and nowhere to go in the cities.

The superficial work in the Western Regions can be completed.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming nodded.

"Okay, then let's do this. You two go to the local government office and collect household registration."

"Yes!"

Household registration is very important in this era.

Because in feudal dynasties, the management of household registration was very strict.

Whether in Daqian or the Western Regions, the people lived according to the scope defined by their household registration.

Generally speaking, if you move beyond your registered residence, you need to go through the necessary procedures, otherwise you will be considered a refugee.

Therefore, after taking over these refugees and housing them in major cities, Qin Ming had to spend a lot of effort to house them one by one.

While the affairs of the Western Regions were being handled in a hurry, a piece of news came from the headquarters of the Datong Sect in the rear.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chu's letter has arrived, and General Wu has also returned."

"Walk."

Qin Ming immediately returned to the Datong sect headquarters from the county town.

Wu Qingye has returned from the Shenmu Kingdom, and he also brought back a letter written by Chu Ying himself.

This letter records his political views in detail.

When Qin Ming came back, Wu Qingye quickly handed the letter in his hand to him.

"Boss Chu specifically asked me to bring this letter back. He said he wanted to put the original letter he wrote in front of you."

Qin Ming could understand what Chu Ying meant.

At this stage, if they want to implement new policies, the first thing they need to do is to negotiate with each other.

Qin Ming discussed this with Chu Ying.

He also conducted detailed considerations with some officials in the court.

During this period, many details need to be paid attention to when they convey messages.

Otherwise, if there is a problem with understanding, it is likely to cause huge deviations in local governance policies.

At this time, Chu Ying was very cautious and specifically asked Wu Qingye to bring the letter back when he came back, which was very good.

"Let me take a look."

Qin Ming asked Wu Qingye to go back first and arrange for their troops to lead refugees from all over the place to open up wasteland.

As for myself, I sat in the study.

Carefully studied the policies written by Chu Ying.

The ideas he proposed were not difficult to summarize.

That is to leave the entire market to local merchants for self-governance.

Let them go and give them ample freedom to develop.

In terms of taxation, after calculating the overall profit from the silver they earned, they would pay a portion of the taxes to the court.

Of course, the tax reductions and exemptions given to them by the court during this period were also very important.

According to Chu Ying, the imperial court needed to exempt taxes in circular transactions, such as when exchanging goods from one hand to the other, and only count where the merchant's goods went from beginning to end.

One advantage of this method is that the court no longer has to go door to door to collect taxes from these merchants.

All we need to do is to let the merchants from all over the country form an organization and connect with the imperial court.

It reduces a lot of unnecessary taxes and allows goods to flow faster.

Originally, the imperial court collected taxes from them, calculating the tax based on every transaction.

Sometimes, when exchanging a batch of goods, the taxes they have to pay alone are already a headache.

Not to mention any profit.

This has resulted in many of their products being unable to circulate.

Only some businesses with huge profits can carry out multiple commodity exchanges.

Now Chu Ying has proposed this method, which seems to be good on the surface and can directly reduce most of the taxes.

It also enabled the circulation of goods throughout the Western Regions, and the market became extremely prosperous.

By then they just need to make enough money.

Even if they collected all the taxes together and paid them to the court, it would still be more than what they had collected before using the old method.

But this also involves a lot of risks.

This move is likely to cause these local forces to become extremely powerful.

If it really happens, you will be free.

The following merchants are also not subject to jurisdiction.

But this would also make it difficult for the imperial court to figure out how much business they had done and how much money they had earned.

Everything must be summarized and reported by the business leaders from all over the place.

Even if they cheated, the court would not know about it.

Chu Ying still has certain limitations, although he proposed many rules and regulations to tinker with his ideas.

But Qin Ming thought these strategies were still not easy to implement.

"It seems I still have to rely on the teacher."

Putting down the book in his hand, Qin Ming sighed slowly.

He arranged for someone to send the news to the court, and informed Chen Shimao of Chu Ying's judgment and strategy based on the situation in the Western Regions.

He did not give up the method Chu Ying suggested, but sent all these things to Chen Shimao.

As long as Chen Shimao discusses with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, and combines it with the method proposed by Chu Ying, a local.

I think we should be able to provide a complete set of solutions to gradually restore the severely damaged economy of the Western Regions.

Just when Qin Ming was busy taking on various affairs in the Western Regions.

Hua Yuanzheng, who was far away, also received Qin Ming's WeChat message. After seeing what was written on it, he was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that Qin Ming would tell him in his reply letter that he should retreat and return to the north.

As compensation, he would advise Hua Yunhong not to take action against the North.

This kind of thing is simply out of the ordinary.

It was so outrageous that Hua Yuanzheng didn't believe a word of it.

The expression on his face when he saw Huayuan Collection's reply.

Hu Weichao's face also looked a little ugly. He walked forward and asked tentatively:

"Your Highness, is it that Daqian doesn't agree to help us?"

At this point, Hua Yuanzheng could no longer hide the truth from Hu Weichao. He threw the letter on the table with a gloomy face and said to him:

"Qin Ming's intention is to let us retreat to the north. In exchange, he will prevent Hua Yunhong from attacking the north. However, our troops are already on their way."

"You mean... this battle must be fought?"

Hu Weizhao broke out in a cold sweat. The war could actually be mediated by someone, because Qin Ming's presence could intimidate Hua Yuanzheng and Hua Yunhong.

But judging from Hua Yuanzheng's expression, he didn't seem to want to stop all his actions right now.

Seeing Hu Weichao was about to back down, Hua Yuanzheng patted him on the shoulder and said in a very heavy tone:

"Have you ever heard the saying? A sword cannot be sheathed in shame. Now that the troops have been dispatched, how can I survive in the north if I let them go back now?"
