"Well, there's a mountain here, but it's not high, it's not steep, you can go up on horseback!"

"How tall is not high? Ten zhang or one hundred zhang? ”

"Where do I remember this?"

"Didn't you say you had a good way of remembering the road? Anything you've been to once, can you remember? ”

"Uh...... I remembered this at the time, but now I forgot about ......."

"You're ......! Think about it again, and if you can't think of it, go to practice! I'll ask Zhiping to double your drill tasks for today! ”

"Uh, don't, don't! Xiao Xuan, you wait, I seem to remember! That mountain is almost fifty zhang long, half a mile in radius, and there are many pine trees on the mountain! ”

"Hmmm! What about here? The map shows that there is also a peak here, do you remember how high it was? ”

In the afternoon, in the camp tent of Li Zexuan of the Xuanjia Army, he and Cheng Chumo were stepping up to make the military sand table of Niushou Mountain according to the map, and Cheng Chumo suddenly found that he seemed to have made a wrong decision, that is, assisting Li Zexuan in the camp to do the sand table This work does not seem to be easier than practicing on the school field!

Because Li Zexuan asked too carefully!

Details to how high a mountain is, how wide it is, whether the woods on the mountain are dense and how many mountain roads there are around the mountain, he used to often go hunting in Niushou Mountain with a group of gentlemen in Chang'an City, but he went hunting and playing, not to specifically survey the terrain, where did he remember these details?

But at this time, it is too late to regret it, if he wants to "get off the thief ship" at this time, today's drill task will be calculated according to twice the amount, isn't this to kill him?

So, this whole afternoon, Cheng Chumo's head was about to explode! It's really too brain-burning! This thing feels that since he was born, he has not used as many brains as he does today!

"Duan Zhixuan's map of Niushou Mountain was originally very sloppy, and many details were not drawn clearly, and now the Xuanjia Army Gate is closed, only allowed to enter and not to go out, it is basically impossible to go to Niushou Mountain to survey the terrain in person, and Qiu Xinggong will definitely obstruct it, so he can only force Cheng to be silent! Although some of the details of this goods can not be remembered clearly, after all, this goods has been to Niushou Mountain many times, with him on the side to correct, the sand table made by this, its error must be much smaller than the map! ”

Seeing Cheng Chumo's sweating profusely as he was "forced to ask", although Li Zexuan was a little unbearable, but in this competition, if the Wuzi battalion wants to win, it must rely on reasonable tactics, and the premise of reasonable tactics is to find out the topography and terrain of the battlefield in advance! Therefore, he can only sympathize with Cheng Chumo in his heart!

"Ugly cow, this cow's head mountain, which peak has more prey? And what kind of prey is generally nearby? ”

"Hmm...... If you want to say that the prey is the most, it must be the main peak, which covers the widest area, because the peak is shaped like a bull's head, so the people of Juxian County call it Niushou Mountain, oh, and there is a name for Niutou Mountain, anyway, they all have the same meaning. The main peak of Niushou Mountain is densely forested, and ordinary people dare not go inside, because in addition to rabbits and pheasants, there are occasionally tigers, wolves and other fierce beasts! ”

"What? There are tigers and wolves in Niushou Mountain? ”

"Of course! When I was 12 years old, I shot a tiger while I was hunting. Awesome, right? ”

"Go! You're a great kid! Tell me about the other peaks! ”

"Oh! In addition to the main peak, there are ........."

………………………………………………

"I have summoned you here today because I have something to discuss with you!"

Not three moments, Lantian County, the county Yahoutang.

He County Order, Meng County Cheng, Hu Dianshi, Wang County Lieutenant, Zhang Zhushu, Sun Zhutou and other main personnel of the county government were all gathered together, and after seeing that everyone had arrived, He County Ling put down the tea cup in his hand and spoke.

"Lord Prefectural, please speak, I'll listen to you!"

Meng Xiancheng bowed his hand respectfully.

With Li Zexuan's entry into Lantian County and the promulgation of a series of policies to benefit the people and businessmen, the entire Lantian County has shown a thriving posture, coupled with Li Zexuan personally sent people to clear out the underworld forces hidden in the shadows of Lantian County, Li Zexuan's prestige in the entire Lantian County has become even stronger, and He County, as Li Zexuan's "little brother", is naturally rising, and his position in the county government of Lantian County has become unprecedentedly stable!

After all, Li Zexuan, as a marquis, has a lot of official positions, and he definitely can't devote all his energy to managing Lantian County, so the actual manager of Lantian County is still He County Order!

He Xianling coughed lightly twice and said in a deep voice: "Ahem! You must have read today's "Datang Daily", right? The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce will hold a fundraising meeting at the Longmen Inn in two days, calling on Datang businessmen to raise military funds for the country! This matter was initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and Master Hou is the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

Obviously, they have all read today's "Datang Daily", but the fundraising conference was initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and is a businessman's business, while the county government is the government and represents the imperial court.

"What does the county order mean that this fundraising conference was promoted by Hou Ye?"

Meng Xiancheng arched his hand and asked.

He Xianling nodded and said, "Of course! ”

Master Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "But Master Hou is now in the army, and he lacks skills, how can he have time to arrange the fundraising conference?" ”

The rest of the crowd couldn't help but nod.

He County ordered the beard and said: "It is true that Hou Ye is in the army, but Hou Ye can arrange for others to do this!" As far as this official knows, the person who ran the fundraising conference this time is named Lin Wenyuan, this person is not only the first batch of members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, but also has a very good personal relationship with the Hou Ye in private, and the reason why Lin Wenyuan can now call on other members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is precisely because he has the seal of the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in his hand! You say, can the Hou Ye not know about this matter? ”

"This ...... From this point of view, this fundraising conference must have been promoted by Master Hou! ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but nodded, and then he continued: "Lord Hou launched a fundraising meeting to help the imperial court raise military funds, maybe this matter was instructed by the Holy Lord!" I just don't know if the Holy One has any requirements for how much money will be raised from this fundraiser! ”

He Xian Ling nodded approvingly: "Meng Xian Cheng's analysis is good, all dynasties and dynasties are light businessmen, this time Hou Ye was able to launch a fundraising conference in the name of the imperial court, firstly, it shows that the imperial court has indeed encountered difficulties in preparing for the Turkic war, and secondly, it shows that this matter must have been instructed by the saint, otherwise no one would dare to agree to let Hou Ye call on businessmen to raise military funds!"

In addition, regardless of whether the saint has requirements for the amount of military funds raised, but in the end, the more money raised, the more beneficial it will be for the Hou Ye's situation in the court, which will always be wrong! Therefore, this official believes that the fundraising meeting of the Longmen Inn in two days will be fully supported by our county government! ”

County Lieutenant Wang, who had not spoken, finally spoke at this time, and he stroked his beard and said, "Not bad! The analysis of the prefectural order is reasonable! Regardless of whether the Holy Lord has any requirements for the amount of military funds raised, but it is not wrong to raise more after all! It's just that this fundraising meeting is a face to face businessmen, what can our county government do? ”

"That's right! What can our county government do? ”

The rest of the crowd were also puzzled.

He Xianling couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe! In this matter, our county government is actually promising! At the beginning of the year, Hou Ye took over Lantian County, and carried out a series of drastic reforms, and now our Lantian County has become the most important place in the world, not only set up a business department dedicated to the management of merchants, but also cleaned up the city of scoundrels, creating a good business environment for businessmen!

In this respect, the relationship between our county government and the businessmen is far closer than that between the county government and the businessmen in other counties, so that our participation in this fundraising conference is "famous"!

After a while, Meng County Cheng went to contact Lin Wenyuan to inquire about the process and preparation process of the fundraising conference, and if possible, ask about Hou Ye's plan by the way! ”

Li Zexuan bypassed the county government of Lantian County this time and directly entrusted Lin Wenyuan to handle the fundraising conference, which made He Xianling a little panicked, from seeing the news in the newspaper in the morning to convening the county government before the meeting, He Xianling has been thinking about why Li Zexuan handed over the matter of the fundraising meeting to Lin Wenyuan instead of the county government!

At first, he thought that his county magistrate had been derelict in his duties recently, and he had seriously reflected on what he had done during this time, but he didn't find anything wrong or wrong!

After thinking about it and not thinking of an answer, He County Ling planned to let the county government also participate in this fundraising conference to "redeem" the impression of the county government in Li Zexuan's mind!

(In fact, he thought too much about himself, Li Zexuan originally arranged for Li Ke to hand over the fundraising conference to Lin Wenyuan, which was completely a subconscious move of "talking about business", and it was not considered as much by He County's order at all)

"Yes! The subordinate obeys the order! ”

Meng Xiancheng also heard a hint of unusual taste from He Xianling's last sentence, and he hurriedly gave his hand to the order.

He County Ling nodded, and then ordered: "Sun Zhutou, in this fundraising meeting, you will take a hundred servants and deploy them inside and outside the Longmen Inn in advance, one is to ensure the safety of the money raised from the donation, and the other is to ensure that no one will be present to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. Make sure the fundraiser runs smoothly! ”

"Yes! The county order is assured that Sun will not let this fundraising meeting go wrong! ”

Sun Zhutou hugged his fists and said loudly.

At the beginning, under the instruction of Li Zexuan, the county government of Lantian County was expanded several times by the third class of officials, and Sun Zhutou now has many subordinates, which can be said to be hard at the waist, and he has the confidence to do anything!

"Hmmm! That's the best! ”

He Xianling nodded with satisfaction, and then his gaze swept over Sun Zhutou, looked at Master Zhang, and said: "Master Zhang, since the county government established the Department of Commerce and reformed the commercial tax, it has been more than three months now, and in the past three months, how much has the number of merchants registered and registered on the side of the Department of Commerce increased?" How much is the total amount of commercial tax collected? ”

The Department of Commerce was established in April this year, and now it is the end of July, which is indeed more than three months old!

In addition, although the Department of Commerce is another department independent of the county government, because it is the initial establishment of the department, it is difficult to find relevant talents in a short period of time, so the work of the Department of Commerce has always been the county government people to concurrently serve, and Zhang is in charge of the tax and accounts of the Department of Commerce!

Master Zhang is not only proficient in arithmetic, but also has an excellent memory, hearing this, he muttered slightly for a moment, and then replied:

"Back to the county order, in the past three months, a total of 472 merchants have been added to the city, plus the original merchants, the number of merchants registered in the Department of Commerce has exceeded 600!

In the first month, the commercial tax collected by the Department of Commerce was 2,165 yuan, the second month was 5,728 yuan, and the third month was 9,724 yuan, so the business tax collected by the Commerce Department in the past three months was a total of 17,617 yuan, and all the business taxes and accounts were in the county treasury, and the county commander could send someone to check it at any time!! ”

"Hiss~!"

At the beginning, Li Zexuan not only established the Department of Commerce, cleaned up the local ruffians and bullies in Lantian County, but also reformed the commercial tax, increasing the proportion of commercial tax from the original 30 to 1 of the net profit of the shop to 6 to 1, a full increase of five times! Although the proportion of commercial taxes has increased, the number of merchants in Lantian County has increased instead of decreasing!

Because in Lantian County, the property of merchants is protected from infringement by others by the government, and the children of merchants can enter the county school to study, and participate in the entrance examination of Yanhuang Academy, in addition, open a shop in Lantian County, do not have to worry about the ruffians coming to collect protection fees, all the benefits add up, it is enough to offset the negative impact of the increase in the proportion of commercial tax, so there are more and more businessmen in Lantian County, and there are more and more shops!

Rao is everyone had a relatively high estimate of the results of the commercial tax collection in Lantian County before, but after hearing this number from Master Zhang's mouth at this time, everyone couldn't help but gasp, because this number is too amazing!

What is the concept of more than 17,000 commercial taxes? In the past, Lantian County collected less than 2,000 commercial taxes in a year, but now the commercial taxes collected in three months are more than eight times the commercial taxes collected in the past year!

What's even more terrifying is the growth rate of the commercial tax collected every month, which is amazing!

The first month is still more than 2,000, the second month is directly to more than 5,000, and the third month is even more ruthless, reaching more than 9,000, God knows how much the fourth and fifth months will be?

"Hmmm! Master Zhang, two days later, out of the seventeen thousand six hundred and seventeen, take out 10,000 yuan, and you will participate in the fundraising meeting instead of the county government! This can be regarded as a little bit of strength that my Lantian County has done for the imperial court to conquer the Turks! ”

The hall was quiet for a long time, and He Xian Ling finally spoke.
