Xiuniang said thoughtfully: "No matter what, everyone agrees with your mention of tax reduction." ”

"Oh?" Xu Zixian said with a smile: "Recently, many people have said in my ears that not only the imperial court does not approve of the reduction of taxes, but there are also many local officials and gentry on Fujian Road who are not very supportive. ”

"That's nonsense." Xiuniang dragged a sentence, but it is worthy of a Xiucai father, I heard that Xie Xiucai has stopped gambling in recent years, and honestly studied in the tutor hall, in addition, Xu Zixian gave Xiuniang a thousand yuan of pocket money every year, it is estimated that this little lady also gave her mother's family a lot of subsidies, Xie Xiucai and his wife are living very well, and they are no longer addicted to drinking and playing money.

"All the people are looking forward to it." Xiuniang said with certainty: "Everyone has been paying heavy taxes for a long time, and my father heard that it was the benevolent government of the king, if it can really be done, no one on Fujian Road will be able to challenge the authority of the Qin King Shogunate." ”

Xu Zixian nodded and said: "Those discounted money, river crossing money, and slaughter money will be wasted sooner or later, and the monopoly system of salt, sugar, tea, wine, vinegar, and these goods will also be canceled sooner or later." ”

The miscellaneous taxes in the local area are taken away by the center after the rent adjustment, and the monopoly of all kinds of goods is also taken away by the center, and there is no money left over at all in the locality.

One is to be clear, and the other is to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of corruption from top to bottom, Xu Zi is a system fan, but also a pessimist of human nature, in which to test human nature, it is better to start from the root, the most convenient.

Xiuniang's eyes were shining, obviously extremely satisfied with the husband in front of her.

At that time, Xu Zixian was extremely dissatisfied with the many types of taxes in the Great Wei, the complexity, the harshness, and the heavy pressure of the people, but many things are from one point of view, and changing the angle is another point of view. Xu Zixian is now the supreme ruler of the standard Fujian Road, and it is reasonable to change his view on taxation, who expected that Xu Zixian has not changed much, and the first thing to grasp the Fujian Road is still to reduce taxes.

Chen Wenjun knew that some officials had recently complained to the Marquis of Changwen's mansion, and their intentions were of course impure, but they just hoped that with the help of the pressure of the imperial court and the request of the officials of Fujian Road, the King of Qin would give up the practice of reducing taxes and taxes...... Everyone has been acting like this for decades, and they have not seen a large-scale rebellion by the people, of course, they deliberately ignore the chaos in Jianzhou, because all the officials feel that Wang Yue's method is too stupid, as long as they act calmly and not so fiercely, how can the people rebel?

Chen Dujing has always refused these requests in person, not giving anyone room for illusion.

As a relative, the Changwen Chen family has consciously handed over some territory, and Xu Zixian's reward is to give Yang Fu, Li Mingyu and others space to take the position, and some members of the Chen family can join the local council in the future, so that a win-win pattern is formed.

How could Chen Dujing fight with King Qin on major issues, the Chen family has never looked down on those officials who reach out to make money in taxes, and for these officials, even if Chang Wenhou has always been gentle and elegant and helpful, he still comes to pick up one by one, and will never say much on this matter.

Chen Wenjun also said at this time: "My father's letter also said that everyone

Everyone agrees with the tax cut. ”

"Very good, very good." Xu Zixian was greatly relieved and said, "My father-in-law is my right-hand man. ”

Chen Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled, but suddenly asked, "Husband said that there will be great changes in the north?" ”

"It's almost ......" Xu Zixian sighed and said, "It's been delayed for more than half a year, and it should be time for a battle at this time." ”

Chen Wenjun, Xiuniang, and Xiaomei glanced at each other, and Chen Wenjun said helplessly: "I have 300,000 forbidden troops in the Great Wei, with solid armor and sharp weapons, the training of the forbidden army, military law, physique, armor and weapons are all fine, and there are a large number of divine arm bows and crossbows in the soldiers, His Royal Highness has always thought that the forbidden army will be defeated, what is the reason?" ”

"At the end of the dynasty, many people thought that if one thing was done well, they could reverse their luck, but if they didn't do it well, it was just a fraction of a second." Xu Zixian didn't answer directly, but said with emotion: "The accumulation of small things will break a big thing, you think this thing is a little worse, and you regret it, but you can't see that one small thing after another has been broken before." The theory of luck is ethereal, but it reflects people's hearts. As far as the current war is concerned, the country's wealth, the strength of the Son of Heaven, the pattern of the prime minister, and the wars over the years all show that the war we are waging now is nothing more than a desperate fight...... Why didn't the Donghu people come to our Great Wei to fight to the death? Because the initiative is in them, the so-called strategic initiative, tactical initiative, now our army outside Yuguan, what kind of occupation? I always want to invite the luck of heaven and throw a wave, but I never think about it, the Son of Heaven is not really born of God, and luck is based on hard work, not a wave of gambling can be obtained! ”

Xu Zixian's tone was deep, and his attitude was faintly sad and angry, which showed that his heart was not as calm and calm as it appeared on the surface.

The good men are the essence of the Wei people, the forbidden army is all recruits, the average age is about thirty, and many of them have a strong will to fight and rich battlefield experience.

If these 300,000 people are not forced to go to the battlefield and are forced to engage the enemy, but the commander makes a decision according to the actual situation, it is still possible to win or draw with the enemy, but the end of the dynasty is the end of the world, there are always many things that self-destruct the Great Wall and tend to perish, such as Emperor Yang of Sui threw the elite of the 300,000 government army on the side of Liaoshui, and the Song people were still fighting at the most critical moment, failing to save Xiangyang, and the battle of Songjin at the end of the Ming Dynasty...... All of this seems to be accidental, but in fact it is the inevitability of Xu Zixian's judgment. He is a human being in two lives, his soul is fused, and he has long had no hope for the outcome of this battle, and miracles can only happen after making sufficient preparations, such as the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian seems to be strong, but there are many hidden worries, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty seems to be weak, but at that time, it was concentric and had the foundation to create miracles.

As for the battle in front of him, Xu Zixian shook his head slowly, it seems to be strong, but in fact, it is extremely weak inside, the Wei army is not weak, from equipment, training, to the ability of the generals, and the actual record is not bad, but the Wei army is destined to suffer humiliation after that, no matter how the army fights, if it loses, it is lost, and the first person responsible for the death of the country is the Son of Heaven, followed by the army. In the history since then, people will not see the lack of the system, the incompetence of the court officials, and the impatience of the Son of Heaven, but only the defeat of the army again and again.

Just like the Southern Song Dynasty, the military system of the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively sophisticated, and there were slight signs of feudal towning, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was due to the local warlords who attached Guanzhong to the Mongol Yuan, and then the door of Sichuan was opened, four

When Sichuan was disabled, Meng Yuan attacked from the south again, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south, entering from Nanzhao to Jinghu South Road, and the damage to the south was also quite serious.

Sichuan, Nanzhao, and Meng Yuan's siege of Jingxiang, the siege of the Southern Song Dynasty army from many sides were withstood until the financial bankruptcy.

The Southern Song Dynasty was the richest country in the world at that time, and the wealth created by the Southern Song Dynasty accounted for more than 60% of the world's wealth at that time. The Song people became a symbol of the wealth of the Mongols and the people of the Western Regions at that time.

Due to the great role of money in social and economic life, the Song people created more and more wealth; On the other hand, when the wealth of the Song people was consumed and destroyed, the Song people could do nothing but wait to be captured and perish automatically.

The little sister looked at Xu Zixian, smiled, and said, "Big brother, I trust you, and all of us trust you." If Dawei is a big ship and is about to capsize, you alone can retake the helm and make this big ship set sail again. This is not what I said, it was Yan Ke who said it, not only Yan Ke has such an opinion, Chang Wenhou, Lin Anfu Envoy, Zheng Ti Punishment Envoy, Yang Dafu, and Brother Zi Zhang, as well as countless officials and gentry. Some of them are against you, and some of them are not convinced, but in fact, everyone has the same opinion, the ship of Dawei is going to sink, and someone can only be replaced at the helm. If there is no eldest brother in the clan, it may be that the dynasty will change, but thanks to you, everyone is still willing to be Wei Chen...... No matter what, the only person we can rely on and trust is you. ”

Xu Zixian knew that Xiaomei and Wei Yi exchanged letters almost every day, and these words were probably Wei Yi's original words, and he was at a loss for a while, although he had been walking on this road, and he knew the result of going on, but when this moment was really coming, the pressure like a mountain would naturally follow.

Da Wei really came to the moment in his memory again, although the center was incompetent and the Son of Heaven was incompetent, but after losing the Northern Forbidden Army and the center, everything would fall on Xu Zixian's shoulders.

Before that, he was also a little confused, can he really bear all this?

At this moment, it is a few women, who are more determined and strong than him.

Xu Zixian also realized that no matter what, he had come to this point, but the only way to do this was to continue to walk, holding the banner in his hand, speeding high, posting, and climbing high step by step.

……

From afar came the muffled sound of cannonball, which was not very loud, probably due to the distance.

Li Guorui, who was under the handsome flag, was expressionless, but after hearing the sound of cannons, he glanced slightly sideways at the source of the sound, and then looked ahead.

Flags are fluttering everywhere, the main force of more than 240,000 forbidden troops has been drawn from Yuguan and Ningyuan and other places, Li Guorui divided the army into the front team, the middle army, and the garrison three departments, the front team is led by Li Youde, and the remaining more than 20,000 cavalry are also in the front team, and the front team of more than 60,000 people is mostly the Hebei and Hedong forbidden army, with all the cavalry of the Wei army in it, part of the front team has been stationed inside and outside Jinzhou City, and part of it has rushed to the west side of Yushui, just facing the Donghu cavalry that continues to come from the east side.

If it weren't for the drizzle, continuous cloudy days and remnant snow, the core battlefield within a radius of at least thirty miles at this time would have been full of smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust produced by people and horses running through the rows could even cover the sky and the sun.
