Chapter 311 Taxation Issues

The next day, in the early morning, when Yuan Chang opened his eyes, he only felt full of energy and radiant. Sure enough, the gap between having a harmonious sex life and not having a harmonious sex life is not ordinarily large.

Yuan Chang looked at Liu Xi on the side, and his affectionate eyes were almost tired of dying. Yuan Chang suddenly felt that in fact, such a day is also very good, why do you have to gather so many beautiful women around you? However, soon, another voice sounded in his heart, he must realize his ideals and must not give up.

In fact, this kind of thought is just a moment, and Yuan Chang will not think about it.

Yuan Chang felt a little strange, no matter how tired Liu Xi was, he would get up earlier than him, why hadn't he gotten up today? Suddenly, Yuan Chang found that Liu Xi's eyelashes were trembling slightly, quite regular. Yuan Chang laughed secretly in his heart, this girl actually pretended to be asleep. In that case, he teased her a bit.

I saw Yuan Chang stretch out his salty wet hand, climb to the top of Liu Xi's snow peak, and gently pinch that little abruptness with his two fingers, suddenly heavy, suddenly lightly kneaded.

"Ahh

Liu Xifang spat out a slight moan from her lips, but she still closed her eyes and refused to open them.

Yuan was not discouraged, his big mouth poked out, and gently kissed Liu Xi's swan-like neck, all the way up, kissed the earlobe, and finally gently covered Liu Xi's lips. At the same time, the two hands were not idle, and continued to work evil on the twin peaks.

"Woo... Brother Chang, don't do it, people were so tired of you last night. ”

After a while, Liu Xi finally couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, and took advantage of the gap in his breath to plead in a low voice. However, her face was coquettish, what does it mean to refuse and welcome? Obviously, Liu Xi is also emotional at the moment, refusal, just a kind of euphemistic reserve.

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Chang's mouth, and he said evilly: "Is it?Xi'er, you are not honest, your body reaction has betrayed you." The plan of the day is in the morning, let's not waste it, hehe..."

The mournful and tactful cry sounded for a long time before it fell silent, and the two people in the room, covered with quilts, lay side by side, no one spoke, feeling the sweet atmosphere.

"Brother Chang..."

Suddenly, Liu Xi called in a low voice, but there was no follow-up. Yuan Chang turned his head to look, but saw Liu Xibei biting his lips, with a tangled look on his face, as if he was hesitating, and he didn't seem to know how to speak.

"Xi'er, if you have anything to say, what can't you say to Brother Chang?"

Yuan Chang's right hand gently stroked Liu Xi's smooth and delicate face, and said softly.

It seemed that after listening to Yuan Chang's words, Liu Xi finally mustered up his courage, faced Yuan Chang with his face, took a deep breath, and said a little shyly: "Brother Chang, when I was in the palace before, Xi'er heard that the palace maid said that there would be children after having sex with her. Why have we all been in the same room for so long, why hasn't Xi'er reacted in the slightest?"

Yuan Chang was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Xi to ask this, speaking of which, Yuan Chang was really hard to answer.

Seeing Yuan Chang's stunned appearance, Liu Xi's eyes suddenly burst into tears, shaking his shoulders and crying, and whispered sadly: "Brother Chang, is it because Xi'er can't give you a child, that's why it's like this?"

Liu Xi has never studied biology class, so of course he doesn't know what's going on. She just overheard that some women who could not reproduce for men would be despised by others, and even divorced was possible. And Liu Xi felt that he had been in the same room with Yuan Chang for so long, but he didn't react at all, and thought that he was such a body, so he mustered up the courage to ask Yuan Chang. However, Yuan Chang was stunned, but Liu Xi regarded Yuan Chang as not knowing how to explain to her, so he was sad at the moment.

Seeing that the beauty was sad, Yuan Chang immediately became anxious, and hurriedly hugged Liu Xi in his arms, and said softly: "Xi'er, it has nothing to do with you, in fact, I don't want you to conceive a child too early." ”

Yuan Chang feels that Liu Xi is still too young today, but he is only sixteen years old, although in today's era, some women are already mothers of several children. However, for Yuan Chang, having a relationship is already his biggest bottom line, and it is really not good to make sixteen-year-old Liu Xi pregnant. In ancient times, the medical conditions were not good, and the adverse consequences caused by women's early pregnancy eventually caused women in ancient times to die early, most of them around the age of 30, or earlier. Therefore, Yuan Chang absolutely could not tolerate this kind of thing happening. To change this situation, it is necessary to improve medical conditions and at least popularize some knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology. Otherwise, the situation will not change in the slightest.

Every time Yuan Chang did something with Liu Xi, he withdrew at a critical moment, so that Liu Xi has not been able to get pregnant.

And Liu Xi, after Yuan Chang's patient explanation, realized that every time Yuan Chang shook her body, the viscous milk-like object she squirted was the key to her conceiving a child. Although, Liu Xi really wanted to give birth to a child for Yuan Chang. However, Liu Xi still listened to Yuan Chang's words and will not get pregnant until at least next year. Because, Yuan Chang feels that one year is enough time to improve medical technology and conditions.

After the love words lingered, and after making Liu Xi, who was in a low mood, laugh, Yuan Chang also got up and dressed and prepared to go to the mansion.

Yuan Chang knew that today would be an unquiet day. Because some of his policies will make the subordinate officials of Taishou dissatisfied, Yuan Chang knows very well that in the future, he will fight against some big families in Bohai County. Of course, Yuan Chang didn't have the slightest worry, the military power was in his hands, and Bohai County was completely controlled by him, did he need to worry about what storms those big families would set off?

Now Yuan Chang lives in the Taishou Mansion, and I have to say that in ancient times, it was still good to be an official, and there would be a mansion to live in. Rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, all available, more than the villas of later generations are a hundred times. And it covers a very wide area, Yuan Chang, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Lu Bu and the daughters of the Zhen family all live in the Taishou Mansion, and there are still many vacant houses. Of course, the eastern, southern, western, and northern courtyards of the Taishou Mansion, plus the inner courtyard where the female dependents live, are all clearly separated, and there is not too much inconvenience.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei were already waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Yuan Chang coming, they all had a smile on their faces that you know. Originally, Zhao Yun was a very serious person, but under the influence of a lord like Yuan Chang and a colleague like Dian Wei, he gradually became bad. Let Yuan Chang sigh, Dian Wei is a real pig-like teammate. However, Yuan Chang did not expect that he would have a greater impact on Zhao Yun.

Yuan Chang ignored their expressions, it is normal for men and women to love each other, and you can do it if you are not convinced. Dian Wei also said that in the past, he had a wife and a son in Chen Liu's hometown, and Dian Wei was also ready to take them to Nanpi City. As for Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, they are still virgins, and Yuan Chang is too lazy to laugh at them.

"Let's go, go to the mansion, Bentai keeps vigil to watch the sky, and another storm is coming. ”

Yuan Chang waved his hand, and he was the first to open the way with great momentum.

A moment later, they arrived at the palace. And the subordinate officials of Taishou were also present, and when Yuan Chang's new officials took office, the three fires had already burned these subordinate officials to the shadow in their hearts, so they naturally did not dare to provoke Yuan Chang, a bad star.

"Ladies and gentlemen, because Gongsun Chan invaded the territory of my Bohai County, Ben Taishou has no time to deal with government affairs. This month was all handled by He Juncheng and Guo Zhubo, and Ben Taishou was extremely relieved to see the thriving situation of Bohai County. Ben Taishou has always had clear rewards and punishments, so He Juncheng and Guo Zhubo were rewarded with ten taels of gold, five horses of silk and fifty stones of grain. I also hope that you can take He Juncheng and Guo Zhubo as an example and contribute to the construction of Bohai County. ”

Yuan Chang sat on the main seat, and first rewarded He Wen and Guo Jia.

He Wen is a child of a big family in Bohai County, and this reward is dispensable for him, but it is better than nothing, so he stepped forward to thank him. He Wen felt that Yuan Chang seemed to be a little different from before this time.

As for Guo Jia, he knew that Yuan Chang would have a little sweet soup first, and he would make a big move later. However, Guo Jia still accepted the bounty of ten taels, no way, he still owes Yuan Chang a debt of his ass, he is poor and short-lived, he is still very happy to have this bounty. Ten taels of bounty is 100,000 yuan, which is enough to eliminate a large amount of debt. However, he will not be stupid enough to repay the money, he will naturally keep this bounty for personal use, as for Yuan Chang's arrears, Guo Jia said that he can only hehe.

Yuan Chang's eyes swept over the officials present, his expression was unremarkable, and he said lightly: "The prosperity of Bohai County is obvious to everyone. However, behind the boom, there are also some shortcomings, which cannot be avoided. Ben Taishou saw the difficulties of the people of Bohai County on the road and felt that their life was not easy, so Ben Taishou decided to change the tax in Bohai County from the original 15 taxes to 30 taxes, what do you think?"

"Lord Taishou, the tax reform, when the Jizhou Mansion sends an order, the Lord changes like this, I am afraid that it will make Lord Thorn Shi dissatisfied. ”

The one who stood up to speak was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a handsome face, obviously a child of a big family. This person is the law-abiding Cao Shi of the county, and he is responsible for the legislation of a county. Although he is a subordinate official of the Taishou Mansion of Bohai County, he was appointed by Yuan Shao at the beginning, so this guy is naturally thinking about Yuan Shao.

In general, the tougher the decree, the easier it is to get the approval of the officials, and the more relaxed it is, the less likely it is to get the approval of the officials.

For example, the imperial court's tax policy was 30 taxes and 1 tax, but the governors of some remote counties did not convey the decree and still used the policy of 15 taxes and 1 tax. The people didn't know the situation, so they were stupid enough to hand over the grain. The magistrate of the county handed over the part of the imperial court, and the rest was naturally embezzled by the officials of the county. However, if the tax were to be changed to forty taxes, the officials would certainly not agree. If the taxes are low and cannot meet the requirements of the imperial court, who will make up for the missing parts?

This Fa Cao Shi thinks he is Yuan Shao's person, and Yuan Chang's practice of lowering taxes obviously endangers Yuan Shao's interests, so of course Fa Cao Shi will come out to oppose it.

Yuan Chang's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Fa Cao Shi, and asked casually: "What is your surname, and what is your official position?"

Although Fa Cao Shi was not happy with Yuan Chang's contemptuous attitude towards him, however, Yuan Chang was now his superior, and he still stood up and said loudly: "Subordinate He Lang, Jufa Cao Shi, the laws and regulations in the county are all handled by subordinates. ”

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang replied lightly, then his face straightened, and he shouted: "Lord Assassin Shi has already authorized me, and in the future, Bohai County will be under my full control, and the decree I am talking about is the decree of Lord Assassin Shi, do you know? Also, Ben Taishou issued this decree, not to discuss with you, but to let you implement it." Remember, this decree must be publicized to every common person in Bohai County, and if anyone does not know, Ben Taishou will not spare it. ”

Yuan Chang's cheers immediately shocked the officials present, and they looked at Yuan Chang with a stunned face, as if they had discovered the difference between Yuan Chang.

And He Wen was shocked at the moment, and finally understood what was different about Yuan Chang.

Yuan Chang before felt like a gentleman, he didn't care about anything, everything was handled by Guo Jia. And now, Yuan Chang shows his hideous fangs, showing his true side, and he is in a trance of a king, who is so domineering and courageous. He Wenming is white, this is the real Yuan Chang, Yuan Chang's performance before, but it was all disguised.

In this regard, He Wen was a little worried, he was not worried about Yuan Chang, but He Lang.

He Lang is a son of the He family in Bohai County, and in terms of seniority, he is still He Wen's uncle. He Wen is cautious and careful, Yuan Chang was so unbearable before, but now it has completely changed. Why did Yuan Chang change so much? He Wenming confessed, Yuan Chang now has confidence and is fearless. If He Lang continues to fight against Yuan Chang, he will definitely kill himself.

Although He Wen was also appointed when Yuan Shao was in office, He Wen never considered himself to be Yuan Shao's faction. In his opinion, as a subordinate official of Bohai County, he should think about Bohai County, instead of being ambitious and thinking so much about whether he knows the history of Jizhou. As far as He Lang is concerned, he dissuaded Yuan Chang from lowering taxes and seeking benefits for Yuan Shao, however, did Yuan Shao still know about the existence of He Lang? As long as anyone with a little brain understands it, Yuan Shao may have forgotten it a long time ago.

"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

However, He Lang was still a little self-aware and knew that there would be no good ending to confronting Yuan Chang, so he responded indignantly and stood back in his position.

In fact, reducing taxes is a good thing for the families of Bohai County.

Whenever a new dynasty was established, the imperial court would distribute the land to the people as a sign of the establishment of a new imperial court. However, natural and man-made disasters, disease disasters, anyone can happen. As far as the common people are concerned, once natural and man-made disasters and disease disasters occur, it is a bolt from the blue, and when they have no money, they can only sell their fields to big landlords; or some big landlords use means to take the peasants' fields for themselves. Therefore, at the end of each imperial court, the fields were basically in the hands of large landowners. And these big landlords are either businessmen on the rich side or officials on the other side. In short, there is very little land in the hands of the people, which is equivalent to nothing.

Therefore, Yuan Chang lowered his taxes, which was a good thing for these families who controlled the land. This means that they can pay less and get more benefits. Therefore, most of the officials present were from big families, and they would not refuse at all. They all expressed their dissatisfaction with He Lang, who spoke out against him.

It is precisely for this reason that He Lang did not insist on opposition. The He family also occupied a large amount of land, and he had previously opposed it because he thought he was Yuan Shao's person. Now, he also reacted to Yuan Chang's strong words and the dissatisfied eyes of other officials. He himself thought he was Yuan Shao's person, but Yuan Shao didn't give him anything. In the face of the interests of the family, Yuan Shao also has to stand aside.

He Wen was faintly a little uneasy, Yuan Chang was now showing his fangs, was it really just for them to make a profit? He Wen felt that it was impossible, Yuan Chang had endured it for so long before breaking out, there would definitely be a shocking move. For this reason, He Wen was a little worried, if he was not careful, what kind of situation the family would fall into, He Wen didn't dare to imagine.

The reason why He Wen is worried about the family, not Yuan Chang, is because there is a basis.

After working together for a period of time, He Wen has discovered that Guo Jia is a great talent, a real talent. In front of Guo Jia, He Wen is like the light of fire, and Guo Jia is Haoyue. At first, He Wen thought it was his own illusion, however, after slowly observing, He Wen knew that he was not mistaken, Guo Jia was really talented. At that time, He Wen was thinking, how could a character like Guo Jia follow Yuan Chang's side? At that time, He Wen thought that Guo Jia might have some hidden secrets. However, seeing the domineering aura exuded by Yuan Chang today, He Wen knew why Guo Jia followed Yuan Chang. He Wen can't imagine that a talent like Guo Jia follows Yuan Chang, Yuan Chang, what a powerful character?

Moreover, Yuan Chang also controlled the military power of Bohai County, and in the battle of Gongsun Zhan's attack on Nanpi City, Yuan Chang, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei had established their prestige in the army, and no one could shake it. Coupled with the conscription in Bohai County during this time, Yuan Chang's troops were close to 50,000. Even the private soldiers of the big families combined, there are not so many. Besides, how strong is the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of the family, everyone knows that it is a joke to be able to fight against the soldiers of the imperial court.

Therefore, He Wen hoped that the family would not conflict with Yuan Chang.

It's a pity that He Wen's ideals are very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. Yuan Chang, he is here to find trouble. Don't think that you can make a profit if you lower your taxes, and then it's the real 3000 that will kill you.

"It seems that the tax has been reduced to 30 taxes and 1, and everyone has no opinion, which is very good, and what we want is a harmonious atmosphere. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Chang's mouth, and the tone of his voice made people sound a chill.

"Next, let's talk about another decree. On the issue of commercial taxation, I hope everyone can have a good proposal, of course, Ben Taishou has always been to convince people with virtue, as long as what you say is reasonable, Ben Taishou will listen. However, if someone only cares about selfish interests and does not care about the interests of Bohai County, then Ben Taishou will not be polite. ”

Everyone was shocked and had a bad premonition.

And He Wen heard a different charm from Yuan Chang's words. He knew that the He family was facing an unprecedented disaster, and if he was not careful, the He family might perish from now on.
