The fourth more is sent Notoshi stands on the grass by the Tao River.
On the edge of the Tao River in summer, it is the time when the water and grass are luxuriant.
The cattle and sheep of the Yeli tribe are leisurely grazing by the river, which has always been the pasture and pasture of the Yeli tribe, and their tribe has been here for a hundred years.
This 100-mile-long section of the Tao River, with more than a dozen tributaries flowing into the Tao River on both sides, has belonged to their Yeli Department for hundreds of years.
They graze here, they live here.
From the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, they were all masters here.
But now the new Taozhou Thorn Shi actually wants to take away this pasture that they have owned for generations, leaving them only a small river valley.
He also had to requisition their tribesmen, patrol them, and even pay them taxes later.
This group of greedy Han Chinese. never "Patriarch, the Tang people have sent someone to deliver a letter again" A warrior came on horseback.
"They still dare to come" Ye Lixiong was a little surprised, he had just whipped the Han official who kept saying last time that he wanted them to go to the finger pasture to graze, how could he still dare to come now.
"The Tang people asked us to go to Taozhou to attend their meeting, saying that they must arrive three days after receiving the letter, and all the departments in Taozhou participated."
Notoshi took the letter and threw it into the Tao River without looking at it, watching the letter sink into the boiling river.
"Patriarch, wouldn't it be bad if we ignore the order of the assassin."
"There's nothing bad about it, it's our pasture for generations, and I won't hand it over."
The military government and fort fortress in Taozhou are still being built little by little, but they are being built in the planned direction from the beginning.
The land has been allocated to the government soldiers, but for the time being, there is no time to let the government soldiers go home to farm, Zhang Chao organized these government soldiers to build village fortresses, build roads, and other people in Taozhou have also received orders for labor, fortunately, Zhang Chao only let every Ding serve for a month, only beyond the prescribed ten days, but because Taozhou is rent-free this year, the people can accept to do ten more days.
Taozhou is changing every day.
The military offices of the prefectures, cities, and counties are guarded by soldiers, and the roads are patrolled by people from the joint defense militia from time to time, and there are checkpoints everywhere, and the law and order situation is excellent.
Post-war robbery, etc., not at all.
There were a few blind people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob, but they were immediately searched by officers and soldiers, and then they were hung on the city gate of Taozhou and swinged.
Construction is being done everywhere.
The fields were not in a hurry, but the border markets of Taozhou did not stop.
On the contrary, it is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the border city has been officially named Jiangxin City of Taozhou.
Jiangxin City has begun to take shape, houses have been repaired, shops have been built, and Cross Street has been expanded into four streets, with nine districts.
The original 10-day border market transaction has also been changed to once every five days, and every 5 and 10 is the big market, six times a month.
In addition, when it is not every five or ten, Jiangxin City is still open, although there are not so many merchants and so many goods, but because there are shops and warehouses here, there are also a lot of sporadic transactions.
Zhang Chao not only built an exchange and auction house on the island, but also a trading house, a tooth store, a warehouse and so on.
These are not publicly owned, nor are they privately owned by Zhang Chao alone, but he has all the Taozhou generals and officials in partnership, everyone has a share, and there are relatively more officials.
To say, some are similar to public money.
The money earned by these commercial houses is used for the office expenses of Taozhou, as well as bonuses for all officials and soldiers.
The bonus is paid once a month, and again at the end of the year, which is to take out part of the income and distribute dividends.
As for the tariffs in Taozhou and Jiangxin City, they were used to pay for the food and salary expenses of the soldiers.
At the beginning of the month, Zhang Chao had already given the first reward to the officials and soldiers in Taozhou, and the ordinary soldiers who got the least money also had 500 yuan, and Zhang Chao also gave the soldiers an allowance, even if they were on duty this month, there were also 500 yuan.
After all, each soldier received a thousand yuan, plus five buckets of grain, two catties of salt, and a piece of cloth.
After getting these money and food, the soldiers were very surprised and quite surprised.
Liu Yuanjun said that there would be a reward, but it turned out that there really was, and there were so many.
The surrounding states have not yet reopened their border markets, and more and more businessmen are pouring here.
Now Jiangxin City in Taozhou has become the largest border market in the southwest, and it is also the largest tea and horse trading market, and green salt has also become a bulk trading commodity, and the tea, cloth, silk, and even wooden bowls and pottery pots of the Tang people are sold very hot.
Zhang Chao's firm not only acts as an intermediary to help them match the sale of goods, but even accepts goods reservations from merchants on both sides at the same time, helps them contact sellers, and organizes goods.
Tugu Hun horses, yaks, sheep, all kinds of medicinal materials, as well as all kinds of furs, although Jiangxin City has not been open for a long time, it has quickly become the most active market on the entire Tang-Tu border.
With the protection of 5,000 Taozhou Tang troops, this market has always been prosperous and safe.
In particular, many of Zhang Chao's management regulations, as well as the way the market is operated, make this market quite prosperous.
Zhang Chao also made a lot of money from it, tariffs, transportation fees, intermediary fees, and at the same time the service industry, leasing industry, really made a lot of money, especially the Qinglou and gambling houses that had just flourished, because they were the exclusive monopoly business of Taozhou Yamen, although there were several Qinglou and gambling houses, but the business bias was different, and the business was booming.
Taozhou has been able to bear the administrative expenses of Taozhou, and even the officials' bonuses can be paid.
The food and salary of more than 5,000 soldiers have also been solved by themselves, and even the soldiers can get allowances and rewards, and their morale is high.

It's just that to do this, Zhang Chao does not rely on the public land and public money as the traditional one, nor does he rely on the army to settle the field, he relies on business and border markets.
An inconspicuous Jiangxin Peninsula quickly became a trading center for the Tang, Tubo, Tuyuhun, and many surrounding Fan tribes, large and small.
Mutual exchange, commodity circulation, and amazing profits.
Now what Zhang Chao lacks is the population, and when the population is full, the castle village will also be established, and Taozhou will be able to become a real border town, a commercial center like Zhangjiakou.
Every merchant who came, each person and every horse had to hand over ten catties of rice to Taozhou, and if it was other grain, it had to be converted according to the price.
A pound of rice is only folded into eleven or two meters.
A pound of corn is folded into twelve or two meters, and if it is corn, it is only folded into eight or two meters.
These grains cannot be paid in money, only grain, whether you pay rice, grain, wheat or millet, they must be grain.
This made some merchants complain, so that every time they came to trade, they had to work hard to transport grain.
But rules are rules, and no one can break them.
Even those merchants have to bring grain, of course, they can also use sheep or jerky to make a discount, there are discount standards.
Taozhou is currently unable to supply more than 5,000 soldiers with food, so Zhang Chao can only use this method to raise food by himself.
Soon, however, there were clever merchants and Han merchants, who began to buy grain from nearby areas and transport it to Taozhou, where they were specially sold to the merchants who came to Taozhou to sell to the mutual market.
Although the price is very high, for many merchants, they would rather buy grain in Taozhou and hand it over, rather than purchase and ship it themselves, and it is too troublesome to transport grain on the road.
Zhang Chao doesn't care about this, as long as there is grain in the warehouse.
However, Zhang Chao added a new tax in Taozhou, the transaction tax, which is one out of twenty.
All commercial goods traded in Taozhou are drawn from 20.
In addition, to open a store in Taozhou, a residence tax is also levied, which is one out of fifty.
For some smaller shops, there is a fixed amount of tax.
If you leave the border, you will have to pay a tax, and if you don't leave the country, you will have to pay a tax, and the tax will be levied at 2 percent.
There are many cards in Taozhou, but they are only levied once at a time.
If the tax has been paid once, then the same batch of goods of the same person will be exempted from other checkpoints.
However, as long as you enter or leave the country, you must levy a tariff of 5 percent at a time.
Customs duties, passing taxes, residence taxes, transaction taxes, and the four types of taxes established in Taozhou all belong to commercial taxes.
Zhang Chao set up a special taxation bureau to be responsible for tax collection and inspection.
Zhang Chao even set up a special tax supervision bureau to supervise the collection of taxes.
Although he set up four kinds of commercial taxes by himself, he would never allow the people below to set up a name and charge indiscriminately.
A market, of course, needs to be taxed, but it should not be arbitrarily taxed, which will only make a market finished.
Zhang Chao set up four kinds of taxes, which add up to a lot of taxes, but the border market is not an ordinary market in the mainland of the Central Plains, and the transactions here are extremely profitable because of their particularity, and even after paying taxes, they still have high profits.
In order to deal with tax evasion and smugglers, Zhang Chao also set up a special anti-smuggling team.
If you have money, you can buy grain, and you can maintain the place of Taozhou.
When the families of the government soldiers come, they can also draw money to help reclaim the wasteland, and even the government will pay for cattle to build farm tools and rent them to the people.
In the long run, Taozhou will at least have to cultivate its own food supply problems.
If you can produce your own food, you can really be safe.
There is even enough food to supply the market here, so that more merchants can meet the needs of the here.
At present, it is far from enough to rely on the little grain handed over by those businessmen, Zhang Chao has to spend a lot of money to buy grain, and the biggest trouble is not the money for buying grain, but the cost of transporting grain.
Taozhou is a good place, there are many rivers and valleys that can be reclaimed, there is plenty of water here, the land is also flat, and it is a Longshang water town.
But there's a lot more to be done to develop this place.
Resettlement, resettlement of migrants, reclamation, construction of water conservancy, and at the same time not neglecting the military, in short, there are so many things to worry about.
Therefore, like Yelibu, Zhang Chao really doesn't have much effort to accompany them.
"Have you already ordered all the soldiers and horses?"
asked Zhang Chao.
"Go back to the governor, and gather 2,600 people in the first army," Yi Su Gushenqing replied.
There are more than 5,000 soldiers in Taozhou, and the field battle is the establishment of two armies, while the garrison is the establishment of six military offices.
As long as he does not leave the territory of Taozhou, Zhang Chao, the envoy of the border state, has the right to transfer the soldiers of the two armies under his jurisdiction.
