Chapter 40: Active Koto

"The lord is really wise, presumably Yuan Hao won't say anything again this time!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu easily made a big deal, and the money obtained far exceeded Yangzhou's taxes, Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Don't blame Yuan Hao, if it weren't for the reality, you probably wouldn't believe it."

Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "Jia doesn't believe in these, but Jia believes in the lord." ”

Jia Ziqing's ability to see people is not weak, the lord is not a self-serving, stubborn person, nor is he a mediocre and incompetent person. Since the lord made such a decision in front of everyone, it must have been deliberate, not hot-headed. ”

Looking at Guo Jia's confident smile, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled too.

"Hahaha, what a Guo Fengxiao, you're slapping me in a different way! But you're right, there are some things that no one believes, but I know they are certain. ”

Hearing Yuan Shu's slightly arrogant words, Guo Jia didn't care, if the male lord has no self-confidence and no assertiveness, what is the difference between him and a puppet?

"By the way, the lord needs a lot of money here, and I hope the lord can allocate it."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia in surprise and said with a smile: "You Guo Fengxiao is still short of money, which restaurant do you owe money for wine?" ”

Guo Jia's face froze: "The lord is joking." Presumably, the lord knows that Jia has his own intelligence system. ”

Yuan Shu nodded.

When he first arrived in Jizhou to see Tian Feng, Guo Jia came to the door, where was such a coincidence.

In addition, Dong Zhuo had just entered Beijing to make trouble, and Guo Jia got the news.

It seems that Guo Jia's intelligence system is not simple, although it is slightly inferior to the Yuan family, it is not bad, and it is trustworthy.

Yuan Shu could only sigh that he was born Guo Fengxiao, and he had already done so many things before he chose the master.

Yuan Shu still has the atlas of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty that Guo Jia handed in before.

Although the main detailed depiction is the city and terrain in the north, and the ambiguity in the south, it is just right for Yuan Shu.

These goods in the south are not male masters, and they can accept them casually.

Unlike the north, which has a large population and dances wildly, his last enemies are still those heroes in the north.

Guo Jia began to travel the world as early as five years ago, setting up his own intelligence network in various important cities, and recording the terrain of various places along the way.

Yuan Shu also arranged a huge sand table from this, listing all the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty on the sand table.

According to the records of the Yuan family or the people under Guo Jia's command to investigate, the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty is now very detailed.

The generals were shocked when they saw it, this is a strategic artifact!

Actually, it's not a big deal, it's not technical, it's just that no one thinks about it.

Guo Jia now mentions the intelligence organization under his command, and Yuan Shu understands.

The world is in turmoil, and Guo Jia's intelligence system also needs to be expanded.

Yuan Shu nodded: "Fengxiao, how much money do you need?" ”

"About 100,000 per month."

Yuan Shu agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Fengxiao, the intelligence organization under your command must be carefully arranged, especially in Chang'an, Yecheng, Xuchang, and Xuzhou, you must pay more attention."

"Also, it's better to have a one-line line of contact between superiors and subordinates. That is, the subordinates do not know who their superiors are, nor do they know who the intelligence personnel are in the same position as themselves, but they know where to receive orders from their superiors and provide information. The superior takes the initiative to notify the subordinate of the order and the receipt of the message, and the superior cannot meet with the subordinate... ”

Although Yuan Shu didn't know the specific details of the intelligence organization, after watching so many intelligence films, the general system was still clear, and he messily told Guo Jia a lot of what he knew.

Guo Jia was very surprised that Yuan Shu had such a deep understanding of the intelligence system, and after referring to Yuan Shu's suggestion, he began to redesign and plan his own intelligence network.

Since then, an impenetrable net has slowly formed in the shadows.

Yuan Shu's subordinates also have an extra trump card, the ghost fox.

Back at the General's Mansion, Yuan Shu summoned his advisors to announce the good news to them, and prepared to start a new step in the "loser" plan.

"Hospital!"

"No, my lord, this must not be!"

It's Tian Feng again, this brainless.

Yuan Shu secretly complained in his heart, but when he saw Tian Feng, he said with an indignant face: "Although the lord has obtained a lot of money and food with the help of the Zhen family this time, it is still not enough for us Jiangdong to make ends meet!" You must know that not only has the salaries of our troops increased, but you have also stipulated that you must see meat twice a week, what a big expense! In addition, there are many new displaced people, and there is a lot of money and food to arrange for them. The newly arranged officials have raised their salaries, saying that they will be paid high salaries and honesty, and a separate supervision department has been set up. These add up, I Yangzhou has to spend nearly 10 million yuan of money and food every month, how can I afford it! ”

Seeing that Tian Feng was getting more and more excited, it was obvious that he had been holding back for a long time, and Yuan Shu also felt a sense of weakness.

It seems that he has really issued so many "loser" decrees in spite of Tian Feng's opposition recently.

However, Yuan Shu knows in his heart that there is a give-and-take. How to make money without spending money? How to hide the wealth from the people?

Not to mention anything else, asking the soldiers to eat meat twice a week can not only greatly improve the physical fitness and enthusiasm of the soldiers, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

It also promoted the enthusiasm of the people of Jiangdong for raising livestock and catching fish and shrimp.

You must know that Yuan Shu not only allowed the Zhen family and the Yuan family to bring a large amount of money and grain for farming cattle and horses, but also brought a large number of livestock cubs.

Yuan Shu ordered that the people under his command be distributed according to the head, and after they were raised, they would be purchased by the government.

The purchase price Yuan Shu is clearly marked according to the catty, like what kind of chickens and ducks are not difficult to raise, Yuan Shu does not charge the cost, and sends these livestock down, and then removes the money to buy cubs when it is purchased.

The people are not stupid, Yuan Shu clearly marked the price and guaranteed it in the name of the government, and it didn't cost much food and energy to breed these things, so naturally they were all very active.

In particular, Yuan Shu has now purchased livestock meat at unlimited high prices, which has attracted hundreds of people to hunt wild beasts and fish everywhere.

Later, Yuan Shu also put forward many suggestions and policy support, such as what rice fields to raise fish, what cheap to dig fish ponds for everyone, and so on.

In short, now the whole Yangzhou is in a state of excitement, and the people no longer have to worry about whether they can survive, on the contrary, they are fighting for how to live better.

Many black households under the family, seeing that Jiangdong's current policy is so good, even if you don't know anything or have nothing, you can support yourself and even make some money by joining the government's construction brigade, and they suddenly couldn't sit still, and many of them secretly re-registered their household registration here in Yuan Shu and turned into a population on the surface.

Many families looked anxious, but there was nothing they could do, after all, these people were arranged by Yuan Shu alone.

Apart from constantly warning the black households under its command and improving their treatment, the family has nothing to do about it.

There is another important reason why the people suddenly became rich, and that is the strength of Yuan Shu.

Under strict supervision, the vast majority of officials and families no longer dare to openly exploit the common people and collect miscellaneous taxes.

Although the original people said that the government only collected 20% of the tax, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes plus land rent, and finally the grain that could be left in their hands was good.

Now that Yuan Shu has exempted all miscellaneous taxes, only 20% of the grain tax is levied, and anyone else overcharges taxes in any way, as long as the people react, just wait for Yuan Shu to clean you up! Moreover, the excess grain planted can be purchased by the government at a uniform and clear price.

The land rent was too heavy, Yuan Shu encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, and made it clear that it would not be occupied by anyone.

Under all kinds of policies, Jiangdong, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, suddenly came to life!
