Chen Mu received an official document saying that in order to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Great Liang Dynasty decided to hold a ceremony to worship the emperor on November 15 this year, and asked the border generals to participate in it, which naturally included the officers of the Third Division who performed bravely.

However, Tang Qiong, the patriarch of the Tang clan, sent a letter to Kong Xiaoxian alone, asking Kong Xiaoxian to sit in the three counties and not be allowed to come back. The 3rd Division will just send a representative back.

Soon after, Chen Mu received a document that he was selected as the representative of the Third Division and returned to Beijing to attend the ceremony.

But Chen Mu is very busy now, and he doesn't really want to go back.

"Boy, if you push this off, I'll break with you!" The cripple glared.

"You old deflated calf and I are no big or small all day long, are you familiar? Don't treat me as a commander anymore, do you? ”

Chen Mu raised his hand to fight, but the lame man ran away, and Xiaomei snickered.

Xiaomei is now an important stop for Chen Mu, Xiaomei learns Chinese characters very quickly, Chen Mu found that this girl has a particularly strong learning ability, but unfortunately she was born in the wrong era, if it is a unified prosperous dynasty, and then there is a system of equality between men and women, this girl can be admitted to an excellent institution of higher learning.

Chen Mu thinks that Xiaomei is worth cultivating to become a very good civil official, but this kind of thing is in the Liang Dynasty, that is, think about it, because in the Liang Dynasty system, there is no such thing as a female official.

Chen Mu asked Xiaomei to be in charge of finance, which is equivalent to a cashier, and all expenses in the army have to go to Xiaomei to withdraw money and enter the account.

After Chen Mu scared the cripple away, he came outside to see the crusher made by the sappers, which was already the third crusher, and the effect was getting better, but it still did not meet Chen Mu's standards, so he asked to rework and rebuild. The sappers complained.

Chen Mu said, whoever fucking makes a qualified crusher, I will reward him with a house.

The sappers immediately did not complain and began to build overnight.

The lame man ran over and said to Chen Mu: "You are used to them, if it were me, a big mouth would pull over, and he would dare to complain?" ”

Chen Mu said: "You are the typical person I am used to. However, we can't just punish talents. In the form of rewards, they will be more ...... Be proactive and inspired. ”

"What is inspiration?"

"For example...... For example, when I think of your daughter, I am very inspired to draw. ”

"Go, go, go. Don't always beat my daughter's idea. ”

"Alas, lame, I have three important things to do when I return to Beijing this time, one of which is to find a way to ransom your daughter. After your daughter is redeemed, she will be my little slave, you say, what should I do to her? ”

"I'll break with you!"

"Okay, I'll kill you now, break your bones and scatter ashes, and teach you to break with me!"

——

In the early morning, the autumn was crisp, Chen Mu just got up, Xiaomei pushed the door in, she rubbed her hands while sighing, and brought in a cold wind.

Chen Mu put on a big coat: "Xiaomei, write a poem in praise of Queen Qulan in your words, and then send someone to Her Royal Highness the Queen, I plan to meet the Queen in a few days." ”

The Sogdian beauty and girl wondered: "What is Brother Mu doing when he sees the queen?" ”

"Before I leave Dunhuang, I want to have a good relationship. In the unlikely event that Her Royal Highness arrives as soon as I walk on my front foot, I will have no place to stay when I return. ”

Hearing that Chen Mu was joking, Xiaomei stopped asking and sat down to write poems.

Chen Mu didn't bother Xiaomei, and ran out to see the grinder, the effect was getting better and better, but it still didn't meet the standard, but Chen Mu rewarded these craftsmen with some silver this time, so that they could taste the sweetness.

Then Chen Mu ran to the east of the city, where a house was being built, this house was very special, conical shaped, no door, only an observation hole, and it was necessary to climb a ladder to go up. Quick Eye 123

Chen Mu climbed up and looked at it, expressing his satisfaction, so he said to Yuan Hong: "Tell the soldiers to catch stove ants from today on, and give a copper plate for every ten live stove ants." In addition, a notice was posted to inform the people that this price was also charged. From now on, if anyone finds the carcasses of various animals, even if they are highly decomposed, I will take them, a pound of copper plates. Then you're in charge of feeding these stove ants. ”

Yuan Hong obeyed the order.

Although Yuan Hong felt that this matter was not very reliable, he never raised objections, and a veteran like him had planted a concept in his heart that it was a soldier's duty to obey the orders of his superiors.

After the young General Chen sat in Dunhuang, he continued to give favors, and the tax exemption was so great that people thought it was a rumor.

However, after the facts were seen clearly, the people of the nearby cities came one after another, and in less than a month, the city of Dunhuang became lively, and now there are seven or eight thousand people.

Chen Mu's principle of tax collection is that only value-added tax is collected, and no hard tax is collected. For example, the entry and exit tax must be cut. Because some small traders work hard for a day, they may not make a penny, and it is really unkind to collect taxes.

Chen Mu would record the materials of each merchant when he entered the city, and then calculate the materials when he left the city, and then collect taxes and fees. It is guaranteed that those who come to Dunhuang to do business will not be compensated due to taxes.

It takes time to register and make a book, and the workload at the city gate is huge, which will cause congestion, so Chen Mu opened the small door and allowed the tax collectors to enter the city directly.

Later, it was still congested.

Chen Mu moved the tax office out of the city, worked outside the city, and opened ten "office windows".

Also blocked.

Chen Mu was puzzled, so the people of Qiaozhuang went to ask the merchants.

The merchant said: This group of tax collectors, he deliberately grinds and does not make money, so he will give you back. It's not as good as collecting the gate tax.

Chen Mu was furious, led his troops out of the city, took down the transcript officer, and slapped the boards one by one, and from then on, the speed of entering the city was called a god speed, and there was no congestion.

The clerks in charge of leaving the city saw that the clerks who entered the city were beaten, and they were all much more honest, and they were secretly glad that no one sued them.

Where is more suitable for human habitation, the people know in their hearts, but they are inseparable from their homeland, and they have the concept that their homes are worth everything.

At this time, Chen Mu issued a new order, which could replace Dunhuang real estate with real estate in other cities, and the Dunhuang government was responsible for transporting furniture, which was regularly transported in batches.

This decision is a bit too harsh.

The people of Putao City and the end of the city began to run to Dunhuang.

Not long after, before Chen Mu could go to see Queen Gulan, Queen Gulan's envoy came to see Chen Mu.

The envoy was a Qur'an, with brown curly hair and fluffy hair, yellow eyes, as soon as he came to Dunhuang, his nose was not a nose and his face was not a face, he stood in front of Chen Mu and said loudly: "Your method is very bad. You have hurt our Qur'an. Our queen is angry. Our queen said that if you send another wagon to haul all kinds of supplies, we will detain your carriage. ”

Chen Mu said with a smile: "Xiaomei, send those poems to the messenger, let him take them back, and tell Her Royal Highness that I want to meet Her Highness before the fifteenth of next month." ”

Chen Mula said to the envoy with a heavy face: "If Her Royal Highness the Queen refuses to see me, when I return to Beijing, I will discuss with the imperial court about forcibly seizing the city." ”

Chen Mu stood up and walked to the envoy: "Your envoy's attitude is very bad, next time you see me with this attitude, I can let you die." ”

Under the general's eyes, the envoy gradually lowered his head.

Chen Mu pulled out the knife from Zhang Han's waist, slashed his index finger from the knife, and asked the messenger in a low voice, "Do you understand what I said?" ”

"Understood."
