The high-level meeting of Qi was held again.

Compared with the first high-level meeting, some newcomers have been added this time, first of all, Gu Min, who joined with 30,000 soldiers, followed by the county Shou Hetai of Yi'an County and the general who defended the city, and Sun Shouxin, the county guard of Fan County, and Miao Peng, the general who defended the city.

After Song Yan looked around at everyone, he said loudly: "There are two things to announce when we gather everyone today, but before announcing those two things, I want to inform you of a good news, that is, the paper produced by us has caused a huge sensation in the Chu State, and so far, we have received 37 million money just by buying paper." ”

Hearing the figure of 37 million yuan, Gu Min, Meng Bozhao and others didn't feel anything, but Song Xiu, Shen Poison, Hetai and others, who were in charge of internal affairs, were extremely shocked.

You must know that the annual tax revenue of a middle county is only about 10 million yuan.

37 million dollars, which is already comparable to the tax revenue of the three counties for a year.

Song Yan continued: "At present, the paper mill is accelerating its expansion, but the guard work must also be done well, after all, the wealth is moving, who knows if other countries will send people to steal our papermaking technology." Speaking of this, Song Yan looked at Meng Bozhao: "General Meng." ”

"The subordinates are here. ”

"From now on, he sent 3,000 troops to give me a good idea of the paper mill. ”

"Please rest assured that the generals will be optimistic about the paper mill. Meng Bozhao said excitedly, the paper mill is now the chicken that lays golden eggs in Qi State, and Song Yan handed over the paper mill to him to guard, which is important to him.

After talking about the paper mill, Song Yan's words changed: "The first thing I want to announce today is to reduce taxes, and from now on, the agricultural tax will be reduced from the original fifty percent to one percent." ”

"General, is Yicheng too low?" Shen Poison reminded.

"It's not low, in the past few decades, there have been wars and chaos on the Shenzhou Continent, and the lives of civilians have not been easy, as far as I know, now more than half of the civilians can't even eat, they can't even eat, where does the strength come from!

Of course, this agricultural tax is not reduced for free, there must be an additional condition, the commoners who want to reduce the tax, each of them has to reclaim three acres of barren land for the country, and if the barren land is reclaimed, they can grow their own grain, and they will enjoy tax exemption for three years.

After three years, the tax is one percent. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and this tax exemption method can definitely greatly increase the enthusiasm of the common people, then, at the same time, in three years, the country will be able to add millions of acres of fertile land.

"The general is wise!"

"Great General Vision!"

Everyone hurriedly patted their ass.

Song Yan waved his hand and began to say the second thing: "Then, the second thing is to build a school, funded by the state, to build a school in each county in the three counties, and anyone who has reached the age of seven can come to the school for free to study for three years."

If you have excellent grades, you can enter the government schools in the three county towns, and once you pass the examination, you are eligible to serve as a local official. ”

There are too few people who can read in this world, and those who can afford to read are the children of powerful families, so to speak, most of the civilians are illiterate.

This is also the reason why Song Yan established the school.

Except for Meng Bozhao and Shen Poison Song Xiu, everyone else was enslaved by Song Yan with puppet supernatural powers, and they naturally would not object to his opinion, so the matter of building the school was quickly decided.

The general's two orders soon spread among the civilians of the three counties.

When they learned that as long as three acres of barren land were opened, the tax revenue of their own fertile land could be reduced to 10%, everyone was crazy and went to the government to register, expressing their willingness to open up the barren land.

When the land reclamation business was in full swing, the construction of the school was also carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the government.

At the same time, the whole Zhao State also learned that Gu Min had defected to the Qi State, and that the Yi'an County and Fan County had fallen into the hands of the Qi State.

For a while, the whole country was shocked, and Zhao Guo in the palace even threw several wine glasses in a row, and in anger, he even raised his sword to kill a concubine.

In addition, the great name of Song Yan, the general of the Qi State, also spread in the Zhao State.

According to the news found by the spies, the two defections were because Song Yan had a meeting with the chief generals of the two armies and the middle and senior leaders of the army.

Relying on negotiations alone, the two armies of Zhao State turned against each other, which seemed to people to be very incredible, but such a thing happened.

As a result, spies from various countries also spread the news out of their respective countries.

For a while, Song Yan became popular on the Shenzhou Continent.

Although King Zhao was angry and angry, he did not continue to send troops to attack Song Yan, who knows if the soldiers and horses sent this time will be bewitched by him again, and then defect to Qi State, besides, without counting the auxiliary troops, Zhao State's warlike soldiers are only 200,000 people, and now more than 50,000 people have been abducted by Song Yan, leaving only more than 140,000, and 100,000 people will be used to garrison the major counties, so there are only more than 40,000 soldiers available.

Can more than 40,000 people deal with the Qi State, which has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses?

King Zhao has no confidence.

Three months passed.

The sale of paper has been fully opened on the Shenzhou mainland, and every day there are caravans going to Linshui County to transport paper to various countries.

Because Song Yan exchanged the money for buying paper for grain, therefore, in the past three months, the grain in the treasury of the three counties has been piled up, and it is not a problem for 100,000 troops to eat for five or six years.

Seeing so much grain, Song Yan had a new idea, that is, to make wine and brew high-grade liquor.

The drinks in this world are not only cloudy in color, but also have extremely low alcohol concentration, and even the alcohol content of real-world beers is not comparable.

After writing down the steps of winemaking and the tools needed to Song Xiu, the matter of winemaking was handed over to him.

Song Xiu did not live up to his hopes, and in less than half a month, the color of the liquor was as clear as water.

Anyway, the grain in the treasury can't be eaten, so Song Yan waved his hand and directly set aside half of it to make wine.

After the high-grade liquor was manufactured, Song Yan did not plan to sell it wholesale.

Instead, it is intended to be used to develop a chain of restaurants.

Therefore, half a month later, three restaurants called Tianxialou opened at the same time in Yi'an County, Fan County, and Linshui County.

The dishes in Tianxialou are not much different from other restaurants, but the price of his drinks is extremely expensive, a small bottle costs 100 yuan, and a jar costs 900 yuan.

Because of the two things of cutting taxes and building schools, General Song's prestige in the three counties was extremely high, and many people even paid him his immortal position at home.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that this immortal brew was invented by the general, anyone who has spare money must go to the Tianxia Tower to taste it.

This taste, the mellow but spicy taste of wine, directly conquered them.

There were even many people who slapped the table after taking a sip of immortal brew and said, "This is the real wine, the general is really a god!"
