Chapter 207: Panicked Li Biao

Beiping County is now not as wealthy as Shanggu County, and Gongsun Zan recruited more troops in Beiping than Zhao Hui recruited in Shanggu.

These rations were requisitioned from ordinary people.

Although Gongsun Chan was still very restrained, the tax in Beiping County was two percent higher than that in Shanggu County.

The highest tax collected by Zhao Hui is ten taxes and six, that is, ten percent of the grain must be handed over to sixty percent.

But this was only for the displaced people who came to Shanggu at the beginning, and Zhao Hui first gave them at least half a year's grain, and then gave them land, cattle and farm tools.

When they officially settled in Upper Valley County and had their own cattle and farming tools, they were now only taxed three out of ten.

Three out of ten is now the lowest tax in Dahan.

In order to recruit troops, the local Taishou have begun to raise the taxes in their jurisdictions.

Ten taxes and five are the most common, and Gongsun Zhan set so many taxes.

After all, Gongsun Zhan's money is not as good as Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui has the support of the two major industries of paper wine, and can spend money to buy grain and grass from other places.

If Gongsun Chan wants to expand the army and fight, he can only distribute the pressure to the people under his rule.

To fight a war is to burn money.

Zhao Hui lowered the tax of Beiping County by 10%, although it was only 10%, but it was enough to make the people of Beiping County cheer on the streets.

Gongsun Zhan's status image among these people is constantly being replaced by Zhao Hui, and it won't be long before these people forget Gongsun Zhan.

It's always beautiful to be nostalgic. But when the replacement is better than the original, the replaced will soon be forgotten.

Even if I think about it occasionally, I just smile slightly, and it is impossible to go back and look for it.

With the passage of time, the hearts of the people of Beiping County will all be attached to Zhao Hui, and even if Gongsun Chan comes back at that time, he will not get the help of these people.

……

"My lord, the scouts who went to Karasuma have returned." Zhang Wang came to Zhao Hui's side, handed three pieces of information to Zhao Hui, and said, "This is what they inquired about." ”

Zhao Hui opened the three envelopes of information and quickly read them. Two of the letters are about the various tribes of Karasuma, and the remaining one is about Zhao Qian, the captain of Karasuma.

"My lord." Zhang Wang was a little curious about what was written on the three pieces of information, and asked, "Are you going to fight the Karasuma people?" ”

If it wasn't necessary, Zhao Hui didn't want to start a war continuously.

Every time a large army is dispatched, the amount of money and food consumed is a large amount.

However, if it is to attack Karasuma, Zhao Hui does not need to send a large army, as long as he dispatches two hundred Mo sword teams.

There is no need to have a hard fight with the Karasuma people, two hundred people are haunted on the grassland, they can fight if they can fight, and they can run away if they can't beat them, and they can make the Karasuma people have no temper.

After all, Karasuma and Xianbei have no leaders who can stand up now, and they are all scattered.

"The problem of the Karasuma people is not very big, this Zhao Qian seems to be fanning the flames at both ends."

In the third piece of information, although there is no evidence yet, from Zhao Qian's actions during this time, Zhao Hui can guess.

Captain Karasuma has always been almost just an ornament, and many of the captains sent by the Han Dynasty have been killed by the Karasuma people.

Killing the captain of the Karasuma guard, the Karasuma people have countless excuses to shirk.

Zhao Qian is Gongsun Zhan's person, and after he served as the captain of the Karasuma guard, the Karasuma people were still more polite to him.

However, Zhao Qian also rarely had contact with the Karasuma tribe, and the two sides regarded the well water as not releasing river water.

However, during this time, Zhao Qian often met with the leaders of the various Karasuma tribes, which was a huge change from his previous behavior.

While Zhao Qian was in close contact with the leader of the Karasuma tribe, he also sent Zhao Hui news of Karasuma's bad intentions.

fanned the flames, wanting Zhao Hui and Karasuma people to lose both.

He was a faithful man. I want to do something for Gongsun Chan.

"Lord, why don't you let me kill him?" Zhang Wangdao.

Zhao Hui shook his head: "Now it's just my speculation, you take the Modao team first, fight a few small tribes first, and when it is confirmed that Zhao Qian lit the fire at both ends, let the Karasuma people kill Zhao Qian, we don't want to do it ourselves." ”

"Got it." Zhang Wang nodded, although he couldn't kill Zhao Qian directly, he was still very happy to be able to take the Mo Dao team to Karasuma.

Now that there are no days of fighting, Zhang Wang really doesn't know what to do, except for training or training every day, which makes him very bored.

Looking at them, they are training every day, but Zhao Hui has fallen behind in training a little during this time.

After dealing with the matter, Zhao Hui took the Mo knife and practiced the knife technique in the courtyard.

The human body is very easy to rust, but there is no training for a while, and when Zhao Hui dances the Mo knife, he feels a little rusty.

It doesn't look much different from before, but in a real battle, a little rustiness can cost you your life.

After practicing in the yard for more than an hour, Zhao Hui sweated.

"My lord, a letter from Shanggu." Cheng Ning handed the letter to Zhao Hui.

The letter was written by Tai Shici, mainly saying that Li Biao, who was sent to Shanggu County by Zhao Hui, wanted to return to his hometown.

Li Biao, who went to Shanggu County, although he was still too guarded, was just a puppet. In Shanggu County, Li Biao didn't have a sense of security, and always felt that the people around him wanted to harm him.

He really couldn't stand this feeling and wanted to leave Shanggu County, so he mentioned it to Tai Shici.

Since Li Biao came to Shanggu County, Tai Shici has never given him a good look.

However, after Li Biao proposed to step down from the post of Taishou, Tai Shici finally gave Li Biao a smile.

Although Li Biao was sent to Shanggu, Zhao Hui really didn't think about killing Li Biao.

However, since Li Biao didn't want to stay in Shanggu, Zhao Hui had no choice but to send him to Beiping.

Li Biao's threat is not very great, and when Gongsun Chan is destroyed in the future, Zhao Hui can still use Li Biao, as for whether he will be reused, it still depends on Li Biao's own ability and his future performance.

Zhao Hui will only need more and more talents in the future.

If none of the people who surrendered can be used, or they can't be reused, and it is completely up to Zhao Hui to dig it himself, then there really will be no usable people in his hands.

Zhao Hui can't do what Cao Cao did, for the sake of the great cause, even if it is the revenge of killing his son, he can let go.

But for a surrenderer like Li Biao, Zhao Hui can still be treated leniently.

The reason why Li Biao was transferred from Yuyang County was that Zhao Hui wanted to control Yuyang County as soon as possible.

And Gongsun Chan is still there, and Zhao Hui can't fully trust Li Biao now.

After receiving Zhao Hui's reply, Tai Shici arranged for someone to escort Li Biao to Beiping.

No matter what, Li Biao, who is alive now, is more beneficial to Zhao Hui.

Li Biao should not be too guarded by Shanggu County, so Zhao Hui let Tai Shici take over.

Although Tai Shici is not very familiar with government affairs, the affairs of government affairs can now be handed over to Shi Tao to be responsible.

Xu Shu became the Taishou of Yuyang County, and Shi Tao succeeded him as the dean of Shanggu County Academy, and also helped manage Shanggu County.
