No. 297 Mode, the old fox
"Xiaoxi really said she was going to Vohanl?" Feiyan asked incredulously.
"We were in the room just now, she said a word, maybe it was a joke, but sometimes I'm not by her side, Sister Feiyan, you help me watch her, I'm afraid she will really go undercover."
"Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of Xiaoxi for you, I promise that in addition to sleeping, I will not leave her all day long, this will be relieved! Feiyan said.
"Sister, go back and rest! My brother-in-law and I still have something to discuss. After speaking, Jia Chen pulled Li Junlong out of the dining hall and went to the guest room.
Junlong just sat down and said: "Brother-in-law Xiaoxi Jian yΓ¬ we collect taxes from Mod, I think we should also let him pay taxes, you think that the silver mine belongs to the state, and it is not his own, why should he occupy it, start with collecting taxes first, if he pays taxes, then think about it in the long run." If it doesn't pay taxes, then we confiscate the silver mines. β
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, we confiscated his fields, and we have to confiscate the silver mines. Will he rebel now? β
"I don't think so, we just want him to pay taxes, and he will most likely agree, but it is likely that he will only pay nine heads and one cent." Jia Chen analyzed.
"It doesn't matter how much he calls, if you can deduct one from his hand, count it as one." Junlong said
"When the time comes, we can use the documents he handed in as evidence to accuse him of tax evasion and put him in prison."
"But we need proof, aren't we now like headless flies who can't interfere with him."
"Take your time, we will issue an order to let him pay taxes tomorrow, see what he says, it is just right that he wants to resist the decree, and we will directly bring someone to arrest him and imprison him."
"Okay, then you go to sleep first! Remember to wake up early tomorrow. Junlong said to Jia Chen.
Jia Chen nodded and came out of the guest room, went back to his bedroom with Xiao Xi, and after returning to the room, Jia Chen saw that Yun Xi had gone to bed in the morning, and he also took off his clothes and went to bed, and carried Yun Xi into sleep.
The next day, Jia Chen got up early and finished breakfast to discuss the matter of the decree with Junlong, Junlong wrote the decree first, and when he saw Jia Chen coming in and hurriedly showed it to him, Jia Chen looked at the decree and asked, "It's okay to write it, but who can be sent to make the decree?" β
"If you don't send Li Shuo, what do you think?"
"I think it's okay, Li Shuo's martial arts are okay."
The two ordered someone to call Li Shuo to the guest room, and asked Li Shuo to lead a few officers and soldiers to give an order to Mode, who heard that the new king had sent someone to give an order, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said: "It seems that the new king still attaches great importance to me, a small governor?" Last time, he brought troops to confiscate the land, what are you going to do this time? β
"Lord Zhizhou, we are here to make an order, I don't know anything about the content of the holy decree, I hope you will forgive me if you have offended, okay, you are ready to receive the decree!"
After setting up the table and chairs and preparing to receive the decree, he listened to Li Shuo read out the contents of the decree: "The king has decreed that the treasury has been empty due to the war recently, and the king, in an attitude of being responsible for the kingdom of Yelu, implores Lord Mode to hand over two-thirds of the silver mine as a tax to supplement the military salary. β
"What do you mean, look at us as a bully, right, last time we confiscated our fields, we handed over all the amount, this time it's good, isn't it obvious that we want to rob money?" A young man standing next to Modder suddenly became angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about, go down, Master Li is not strange, the dog does not understand etiquette, and he is offended. The old man is here to compensate you," Mode taught the young man a few words, and then said to Li Shuo with a smile.
"Lord Mode's imperial grain tax has existed since ancient times, I think you know? Didn't you also pay your military pay with the money from the silver mines in the days of the kings? Li Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Master Li, I understand what you said, but I need a lot of manpower for silver mining, and every miner needs to pay wages, and I have to hand over two-thirds of the wages will not be too much, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay wages to the workers."
"This is very simple, since you can't afford to pay your salary, then don't go out, just hand over the silver mine to the state, the silver mine is originally the state, just let you keep it temporarily. Collecting two-thirds of you is not much, and if you think about it, the king will have to hand over one-third to the emperor, and he will only keep one-third for military salary. Li Shuo said unhappily.
"Lord Li, if you go back and tell King SΓΉ, let me think about it for a few days, what do you think?"
"Alright! But don't think about it for too long, our treasury is empty, and we need silver.; Li Shuo said.
After seeing Li Long leave, the young man walked in again, looked at Mod, and said, "Father, they obviously don't give us a way to live, and hand over two-thirds." The remaining one-third has to be deducted from the wages of the workers, and we are busy with very little. β
"They are forcing me to hand over the silver mine, you can hand over two-thirds of your income, I won't hand over the silver mine, I have at least one-third of my income with the silver mine, and once the silver mine is handed over, I will have nothing."
"Father, if we don't rebel! I don't think we will necessarily lose with our power, and when the time comes, we will all support you as the king of the kingdom of Jerod. β
"No, now is not the time, besides, our power is not strong, Mo Ren, you have to remember that people must be able to endure, and only if they can endure can they achieve great things, now our only way out is to promise them, stabilize them first, you secretly buy some of the original landlords with silver, and promise to wait for me to become king, redivide the land, and definitely return their original land to them." Modd ordered.
"Father, are we really going to give them two-thirds of the silver mine for military pay?" Moren asked uneasily.
"I'm stupid, pay two-thirds, they know how much we earn from the silver mine, and two-thirds, they are fooling us, hand over one-sixth, they also think it's two-thirds, but you have to quickly contact a few big landlords and ask them to buy some thugs."
"Don't worry, father, just leave this matter to me."
After Moren left, Maud went to the silver mine again, and looked at the silver extracted from which silver ore was extracted, and his heart was much more comfortable.
Li Shuo returned to the palace to restore his life, Li Junlong looked at Li Shuo and asked, "Did Namod say anything when you read out the holy decree?" β
"Your Excellency, Namod didn't say anything, but his son was angry and said that you confiscated their land, and now you have a fancy to their silver mines, and you want to rob them of money, and you obviously don't give them a way to live."
"What did Mod look like when he listened to his son?" Li Junlong asked.
"He pretended to be angry and reprimanded his son, and I could tell he was pretending because there was no sincerity at all." Li Shuo said.
"Did he agree to our terms?" Junlong asked.
"He said to think about it for a few days, and I told him not to think about it for too long, because our treasury is empty."
"Then you go down." Li Junlong said to Li Shuo.
After Li Shuo went down, Li Junlong ordered someone to find Jia Chen, and Jia Chen asked Li Junlong: "Brother-in-law, didn't you send Li Shuo to Wohaner, did Li Shuo come back?" β
"It's back"
"Did Modd agree to hand over two-thirds of the silver mine's income as taxes?" Jia Chen asked.
"He said to think about it for a few days."
"I think he's trying to figure out how to deal with us." Jia Chen said.
"What do you think he's going to do with us?" Li Junlong asked.
"I think if we don't know the specific income of the silver mine, he is likely to make false accounts, that is, to fake the income of the silver mine, so that what is handed over to us is a very small part of the income from the silver mine, not to mention one-third, not even one-sixth," Jia Chen analyzed.
"Isn't he afraid that we will find out and treat him for offense?"
"He is afraid, so he wants to unite with some landlords whose land has been confiscated by us, raise a group of thugs, and prepare to rebel when the time is ripe."
"You say those landlords will also rise up and rebel with him?"
"You confiscated their land, and some people who have no official positions have to work in the fields with the peasants, how can they stand the pampering of them, and when they hear his bewitchment and promises, they can't be moved."
"Then what are we going to do, we can't just open our eyes and see them colluding with each other," Li Junlong asked.
"Don't worry! The magistrates everywhere are all our people, and when I confiscated the land, I had already thought about placing my own people in important positions, and now I just need to let them send people to closely monitor the movements of those landlords. β
"Xiao Chen, you are really thoughtful."
"I also thought of it on the spur of the moment." Jia Chen said modestly.
"Then I will send people to inform our local officials and ask them to keep a close watch on the landlords whose land has been confiscated." Li Junlong said.
"I don't need others, I can go to various places to inform them myself, and I don't feel at ease when others go." Jia Chen said.
"And when are you leaving?"
"I'll leave tomorrow, you let Sister Feiyan help me take care of Xiaoxi." Jia Chen explained.
"Don't worry! Xiaoxi will be fine in the barracks. β
"Then I'll be relieved, I'll go back to my room to rest." Jia Chen said.
"Go back to your room and get some rest! Do you want to sue Xiaoxi about going out? β
"You don't care, I'll just tell her myself." After Jia Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to the bedroom.
After Jia Chen returned to the room, he saw that Yun Xi had already entered the dream, his sleeping posture was still so beautiful, his legs were spread apart, his arms were straight, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he adjusted his posture with Yun Xi, went out and poured the stove next to him, took a bath, plugged in the door, and went to bed with Yun Xi's dream of entering together.
The next day, Yun Xi was woken up by Jia Chen, Jia Chen took off Yun Xi's underwear one by one, Yun Xi had slept well, but he was so tossed and drowsy, Yun Xi saw him and shouted anxiously to himself: "Let go of you!" I'm hungry, don't! Later, Sister Feiyan should call the door instead. β
"Xiaoxi, I have something to do and will go out for a few days, so let me kiss you."
"Where are you going?" Yun Xi stopped struggling and asked.
"I'm going to tell you when it's over." Jia Chen opened Yun Xi's two legs and pushed in.
Yun Xi was made "hmm" by him...... Well...... Yes. Yes. "Keep calling, finally Jia Chen is done, Jia Chen brought a towel and wiped Yun Xi underneath.
After wiping Yun Xi, Jia Chen threw the towel into the basin, went back to bed and hugged Yun Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, I am going to visit the local governance of officials in various places. β
"Then there you go! I'm sticking with you. Yun Xi said.
"Then you stay at home and don't go out to cause trouble." Jia Chenming explained.
"Look at what you said, am I the one who causes trouble?" Yun Xi stuck out his tongue and said.
