_Chapter 920: On the eve of the Great War
"Zhuang Yichen, I'm really getting more and more curious about you!" Li Mu suddenly laughed heartily at this time, without the slightest annoyance at the failure of the plan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For him, war is a wonderful thing, and it is not the result that matters, but the joy of meeting an evenly matched opponent.
"Mansion master, taxation is the foundation of a government, how can it be said that it is exempted!" At this time, Lin Lisheng brought Zeng Guozheng and others to ask Zhuang Yichen with a menacing attitude.
"This matter will be explained to His Majesty by the Cabinet and the Cabinet, so it will not be bothered by the Deputy Mansion Lord! Besides, it is only exempted from agricultural taxes and not completely exempted from taxes, and besides, it can be made up from other places!" Zhuang Yichen said slowly.
"Where to make up for it?" Lin Lisheng asked in amazement.
"Merchants don't do production, and they make huge profits, and the government thinks that the increase in commercial taxes should be increased!" Zhuang Yichen deliberately didn't look at the faces of these people.
In fact, the money-making businesses in Hanya Prefecture were controlled by the people of the four major families, and the original small commercial tax was also passed on to the agricultural tax.
"How can this be!" Several people were furious, and their expressions were very unpleasant! If the commercial tax was really to be increased, several of them would be greatly questioned within the family.
"Didn't you say that you can't pay taxes without it?" Zhuang Yichen's innocent appearance made Lin Lisheng chuckle in his heart, this young mansion master finally showed his fangs at this time, and he was quite ruthless.
The important thing is that you can't explain your reasoning at all! You say that you can't do without taxes? People say that you and the cabinet explain to Your Majesty! Moreover, the agricultural taxes on the surface are very small, and it is impossible for the cabinet and Your Majesty to blame a dignified prince for this.
And Zhuang Yichen raised the increase in business taxes, so it was naturally impossible for them to say that the commerce of Hangu Mansion was controlled by the four major families. This matter was meant to be dissociated, and it was impossible to admit it openly even if it was to cover up and steal the bell.
So in this way, the announcement issued by Zhuang Yichen can only be stopped, although it has a bit of a dictatorial flavor.
"This mansion is tired, if you have nothing to do, you won't be accompanied!" Zhuang Yichen said lightly, and left without waiting for them to respond.
"Damn!" Zeng Guozheng waved his fist and looked at Lin Lisheng.
"The armies of Zhao and Han are already approaching Hangu Pass, so let's prepare early!" Lin Lisheng said indifferently. The other three families didn't know about it, and now was the time.
"Huh?" Zeng Guozheng and the other three were all very surprised, and there was even more fear in their hearts. Zhao and Han actually came to the door? How is this possible? Could it be that these two countries can not be afraid of the ruling of the Holy Court and do nothing to fear?
"Brother Lin, why is this so sudden?" There was a suspicious look in Wu Rende's eyes, why was Lin Lisheng's news so well-informed? There must be something abnormal in this.
"Our four major families have always advanced and retreated together, and our lips are cold, if you are free, I have already prepared a family banquet!" Lin Lisheng said with a smile.
At this time, the three of them all felt a little chaotic, after all, they were just a powerful family in a mansion, and they could only be regarded as dirt buns compared to a country. At this time, Zhao and Han joined forces to attack, and the pressure on their hearts can be imagined.
So as soon as Lin Lisheng said this, they immediately followed obediently! As for the announcement made by Zhuang Yichen, who would care about him now.
Without the constraints of the four great families, Luo Wuxi's efficiency has naturally improved a lot. Twenty scribes lined up at the entrance of the government to receive the peasants who had brought household registration documents from all over the country.
The allure of 10 catties of rice and the exemption from taxation have made many people feel their hands shaking as if they were dreaming after getting the rice and tax-free papers.
And the reputation of Zhuang Yichen, the new lord of the mansion, also began to take root and ferment in the hearts of the people of Hangu Mansion.
A large number of carts transporting grain also headed towards the remaining eight counties of Hangu Prefecture, and the method of returning straw to the field written by Zhuang Yichen was also sent to Su Li and others.
"This law is great!" After receiving it, Su Li pondered the principle in detail, and couldn't help but be very excited.
Zhuang Yichen's practice in Hangu Mansion has spread to the county, relieving him a lot of pressure.
Now those people are also looking forward to the arrival of rice before spring ploughing. The people regard food as the sky, and when the people can still have a food chessboard, how can they be willing to make trouble.
"Mansion Master, the rice in Hangu Mansion has been distributed! The method of returning straw to the field has also been granted to the representatives of each village, and there will be no problems with the spring plowing in Hangu Mansion this year!" On the second day, Luo Wuxi reported to Zhuang Yichen that in the Shenlong Continent, if the number one leader really attaches importance to and is determined to promote something, the effect will definitely be the best.
Especially for something like this that occupies the general righteousness and has a huge beneficiary group, no one will jump to the surface to oppose it.
However, how could Zhuang Yichen know so many advanced farming methods, this is a bit unbelievable.
"Well, I'm going to bother you with a little more in housekeeping!" Zhuang Yichen smiled and nodded, and a graceful bearing spontaneously appeared.
Luo Wu Xiwang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, more than a year ago, Zhuang Yichen was just an ordinary martial artist, compared to his own family background, the gap was very different, but now he is a king, the first jinshi of the human race, and a strongman in a mansion.
But he also has a sense of honor, such an awesome character is my best friend, there are a few people in the human race who can enjoy it, even the weird Qin Siya, who no one looks down on, admits that Zhuang Yichen is his idol.
The riots in Hangu Province were quelled, and the pressure on Hangu Pass increased dramatically. Fang Tongshu and Gu Yi both received accurate information, Zhao and Han allied forces of 150,000, and the commander was clearly the famous general Li Mu of Zhao, the strong man at the peak of the literary hero.
And at the moment, the Zhao and Han coalition forces are marching unhurriedly and slowly, which is very rhythmic and maintains sufficient attack power.
"The peasant riots in Hangu Mansion have subsided so quickly, and the ability of this Zhuang Mansion Master is really not small!" Fang Tongshu and Gu Yi watched the arrival of the Zhao Han coalition army at the head of the city at this time, and Gu Yi said softly.
"Yes, I didn't expect him to reach the hands of the four major families a long time ago, and he resolved it beautifully! The stability of Hangu Mansion is also a big boost to the military heart, and it will be up to us next!" Fang Tongshu's eyes flashed with pride.
With 60,000 to 150,000, the ratio of the number of troops can be called a huge disparity! However, Hangu Pass is a well-known fortified city in the world, and it is not a problem to hold on to the city.
Siege warfare always has to endure hardships for the attacking side, and even Li Mu's army cannot change this fact.
"To be able to fight Li Mu, whether you win or lose, it's worth it!, but what I'm worried about is that it will be difficult for Yan Guo to send troops to support us right now!" Gu Yi said with a sigh.
