And just as Su Shuang and Zhen Yi led these creditors to the Assassin's Mansion, Lin Nan was lying high.

There is no way, since returning to Jinyang, Lin Nan has been busy every day, so he was replaced by Gao Lie when he got up early.

Seeing that Su Shuang and Zhen Yi came early in the morning to disturb his early sleep, Lin Nan looked unhappy, and as soon as he heard that there were some accounts, Lin Nan was miraculously happy.

After hurriedly washing up, Lin Nan came to meet these Hanoi squires and wealthy businessmen.

"It's great that you're here, Nan is looking forward to you every day." As soon as he saw these people, Lin Nan said with a wicked smile.

Seeing that Lin Nan, who was the Lord of the Assassin History, was so hospitable, and he was not bored with himself at all, these squires and wealthy businessmen were all extremely moved, and they all stepped forward to salute Lin Nan, only Su Shuang and Zhen Yi felt strange, but they couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Nan's gourd.

After everyone was seated, Lin Nan said: "Nan promised you that the money and grain owed to you will be repaid, and Jinyang's finances and taxes will be used as collateral. So, rest assured, Nan will definitely give you an explanation. ”

got the assurance of Lord Thorn Shi, these squires and wealthy businessmen also had a bottom in their hearts, and they all secretly admired Lord Thorn Shi Gao Nanliang Festival and kept his promises.

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "It's just that more than a year has passed since this incident, and at that time, Nan was just Jinyang Taishou. Now, the south is already the history of the state, so this matter still needs to be carefully considered. In addition, now that the state is merged, there is not much money and food, and it is not possible to repay you for the time being, and now the tax system of the state is also relatively chaotic, so Nan wants to rectify the tax system first. It just so happens that everyone has come to Bingzhou, and Nan still wants to hear your opinions, so you can stay in Jinyang for a few days to understand the current situation of Bingzhou, and after a few days, Nan can give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this. All the squires and wealthy businessmen secretly complained, Lin Nan was beating around the bush and not paying back.

Seeing that these people were all bowing their heads and silent, Lin Nan gave Zhen Yi a look.

Zhen Yi understood, then got up and said, "Everyone." My lord's words have been made clear, and you just need to wait a few days. Besides, repaying you money and food is a major event in the state, and it is related to the face of the lord. and the face of the state, so my lord naturally wants to discuss it with the ministers of the state. And you don't have any urgency, you might as well stay in Bingzhou for a few more days, I believe that after a few days, the matter will naturally be resolved satisfactorily. ”

After Zhen Yi finished speaking, he gave Su Shuang another look.

Su Shuang understood, so he also got up and said: "Lord, then the subordinates will retire first, don't worry, Lord." My subordinates will definitely entertain you well. ”

Seeing that the two of them were very cooperative, Lin Nan smiled and said, "In this way, there are Zhong Ping and Zi Qin." ”

After breakfast, Lin Nan came to the Government Council and informed everyone of the idea of reforming taxes, and Lin Nan also said that his real purpose was to retain these businessmen who came to ask for accounts and vigorously develop commerce. At the same time, Lin Nan also sent people to Hexi, Shangjun, Shangdang and Yanmen to give orders, ordering the Taishou of the four counties to come to Jinyang for a meeting as soon as possible. Discuss tax reform and other matters.

A few days later, Gu Yong and the others also arrived in Jinyang.

Therefore, Lin Nan ordered Wang Cang to draft the "Several Points on the Reform of Taxation in the Prefecture" and distribute it to everyone. Let everyone discuss.

In Jianyi, Lin Nan demanded that taxes should be simplified, rationalized, and humanized, and that agriculture and commerce should be developed at the same time. Vigorously develop the handicraft industry, set up factories, and realize large-scale production and operation.

After a few days of discussion, a new set of "Taxation Regulations of the Incorporated Prefectures" finally came out, and although some people were against it, under Lin Nan's forced promotion, it was no longer a thing.

In the regulations, the state taxes are divided into agricultural taxes, commercial taxes, and border taxes.

The agricultural tax is the lightest, 15 taxes and 1 tax, apportioned into the mu, and the tax is paid according to the quantity and quality of the land held, so Du Ling and Li Ming began the work of measuring and assessing the land, and they were busy every day.

Of course, this is only an approximate standard, because the goods are different, the profits are different, and the tax rate is also different. This point is divided into more details, so I won't go into detail here, and similarly, for how to tax all walks of life, Zhen Yi, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others are also very busy.

Border tax was a tax that was paid when goods from other places entered the state, which was equivalent to today's customs duties.

As a result, Lin Nan's arrears that year were mortgaged with the new tax policy.

As soon as they heard about the commercial tax of five taxes and one tax, all the squires and wealthy merchants in Hanoi were dumbfounded, because in ancient times, they were all heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was no exception.

Of course, they didn't understand what was going on until the commercial tax was promoted on a large scale, but at that time, they had already gained a firm foothold in the state, and they had already made a lot of money, so naturally there was nothing to say.

At the same time as reforming taxation, Lin Nan also reformed the conscription system, which greatly reduced the burden on the people of Bingzhou.

As soon as the new tax system and the conscription system were introduced, merchants and people from all over the country poured into the state, and in addition to the two repulsions of the Huns, the once bitter cold land of the state became a place that everyone yearns for.

As a result, Bingzhou began to rise, and You, Hebei, Si, Yong, Liang and other places gradually fell behind.

In the face of the influx of foreign population, the whole prefecture is busy, the border areas need to be settled, especially Dingxiang, the army needs to be replenished, and the army needs to be recruited and trained, and the government affairs yuan has to be busy registering, allocating land, and strengthening the management of the people.

Just when the whole state was busy, Cui Yan and Yu Qing finally returned from Luoyang.

Yu Qing is also from Jinyang Refugees, graduated from Jinyang Military Academy, is 25 years old, has superb martial arts, can fight with Gao Shun for dozens of rounds, and is now the commander of the right battalion of the guard battalion.

After a big victory, he naturally had to show his merits to the imperial court, and at the same time of showing his merits, Lin Nan naturally had to bribe the corrupt officials of the imperial court. Therefore, Cui Yan not only had to take Lin Nan's folds to Luoyang, but also brought some gold and silver treasures. And along the way, naturally there is also a need for a person to escort, Dian Wei is a personal general, not to go out lightly, Guan Hai is the city guard of Jinyang, and he can't leave, and the rest of the people also have their own deacons and can't be separated. Therefore, this heavy responsibility fell on Yu Qing, and Yu Qing was fortunate not to be dishonored and brought Cui Yan back safely. (To be continued.) )
