And state, a farmland in Yanmen Pass.

The farming tools from Hedong helped the farmers to obtain a greater sowing speed and increase their speed. This allows them to plant seeds very quickly.

"Is this IRA really exempt from agricultural taxes?" Li Laohan asked in disbelief. Although his family of eight people was allocated only 120 acres of land, the seeds were given free of charge for three consecutive years, and the land was his own, so a good life was still good, and his eldest son and second son could also go to the city to work, which was no worse than farming.

It's just that the third child is not happy. He had to follow the people of Hedong to do business, which made Li Laohan very dissatisfied and angry, but there was no way, after all, doing business seemed to be faster than farming. However, Li Laohan still felt uneasy.

"Excuse me. There was already a notice in the city. Not only that, but it was said in the newspapers. If you want to continue to ask for taxes. The IRA won't agree. A middle-aged man said.

"This, this is true, this republican army, there is no tax? This is not to say that farming will be free from now on. You don't have to pay taxes, can you plant this land? Li Laohan said nervously.

Farming and food. This is a matter of course, and in Li Laohan's mind, it has become a fixed thing. If they can't do such a thing, it will make them feel very unstable, or even unrealistic. This made them feel very embarrassed.

"Really, it must be true, it's all said above, and it's already posted. It's time to oversee. Moreover, there will be no need to pay taxes in the future. Said above. This is a farming process that gives us peace of mind. That's not all, I heard that interest-free loans are also available, that is, the above lends us a sum of money for free, and no interest is charged. The middle-aged man said. Li Laohan was silent. He felt as if he wasn't going to give birth.

The court is all taxed, but it is a little less.

But after the Republican Army came, it didn't accept it directly. You know, the land was divided before, and now there is no need to pay taxes. Also free without interest to lend some money to them. He felt that it seemed very unreal, really unreal, and it made him feel very weird.

"W-why?" Li Laohan still couldn't help but ask. These are strange things.

"Hey, it's not for us farmers to grow food with peace of mind. It is estimated that it is very difficult for us to grow food. There are quite a lot of difficulties, so it is a great test for us to reduce the burden and how to reduce these burdens. Listen to the people who close it. More agricultural implements will be provided. On the Handan side, there are some cattle that pull machinery, and the speed is fast. Next year, we will build irrigation things, and in that case, it will be all good fields. The middle-aged man said.

"Well, that's good." Li Laohan said. I really don't know what kind of path this Republican Army is. No matter. This grain is grown in abundance. Stronger than anything else. At the very least, the stomach is full.

Handan, the door of a commercial bank.

"This money lent to Guanzhong, I think, it still has to be lent, even if we don't do it, Hedong side, we will do it, we are all bankers in Handan." So said a bank director. Next to him is a bank manager, who is mainly responsible for specific business matters.

Recently, they have been busy with one thing, and this matter is whether to lend a large amount of money to Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong. Because the amount of borrowing is relatively large, which is not something that a bank can afford, coupled with the previous debt problem, as well as the future development problems of Guanzhong and other factors, the attitude of Handan bankers is that they are unwilling to lend more funds to Guanzhong, mainly because they are afraid of a greater degree of crisis.

But some of the directors have gotten very close to the officials at the top level, and what they have gotten is that the attitude of the Li Jiazhuang side is that if you lend more money to Guanzhong, although there will be greater risks, if you want to make a lot of money, how can you not take risks. In such a situation, some directors feel that they should be involved, and despite the dangers of one or another, for them the risk means greater benefits.

"What we should see is that the merchants of Hedong are too competitive with us. Now the speed of development of Hedong is very fast, coupled with the development of a huge merger state, their strength will grow to a very large position, we only rely on the banking business to do such a thing, there is no way to make our situation to a greater degree of satisfaction, this is a strong competitor for us. The director said.

The biggest reason lies in Hedong, Hedong's development is very fast, relying on the development of economy and trade, they have completed a considerable part of the original accumulation of capital, plus the prisoner of war trade to the north, which further aggravates their abundant capital.

But being well-capitalized doesn't mean they have a financial advantage.

The development of Handan's banking industry has brought a great impact to Hedong businessmen, because more than ninety percent of the capital transactions need to be completed by Handan Bank, and such a situation is a big, big trouble for them, and this trouble will make their situation completely in a scale of impact that is difficult for people to deal with.

Therefore, in order to change this situation, Hedong businessmen decided to take some measures to deal with such a situation, that is, to establish a commercial banking system in Hedong.

Therefore, after the abundant capital, Hedong established a large number of commercial banks, but the development of banks needs a great opportunity, how to seize such an opportunity.

The opportunity lies ahead.

The rapid development of Hedong is inseparable from Guanzhong, and the demand of Guanzhong is the demand of Hedong, and when Dong Zhuo's demand arrived in Hedong, the keen Hedong businessmen suddenly realized the key to the problem. They felt that they had seized an important opportunity in their banking sector, and although the risks were high, they decided to do so because it could bring them greater benefits.

In the face of the huge impact of Hedong Commercial Bank, in such a situation, Handan Bank also quickly took some actions to carry out such things.

Borrowing money albeit with great risk. But the IRA is their greatest reliance, and if the banking sector suffers huge losses, the consequences will be severe. This is an outcome that no one wants to see.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department. The division of the divisions is still going on, this is to prepare for future wars, and as long as they are well prepared, everything has a great chance to develop.

"What do you think of this report?" Shang Wu asked.

"To be honest, I also feel very worried, although Lijiazhuang has the support of Taihang Mountain behind it, it is in a state of plains after all. From the point of view of military defense, Lijiazhuang may be attacked in any direction, and for the defending side, it is extremely disadvantageous. Especially with the southward movement of a large number of cavalry, they simply could not cope with such a situation. Jia Xu said.

This is a security report handed down by the Parliament.

They believe that the possibility of an attack on Lijiazhuang is too great. In particular, the possibility of an attack from the north and the east is very high. Moreover, the strategic depth of Lijiazhuang is not very large, considering that it may suffer a greater attack in the future. As well as a greater and more powerful factor in the development of the state, some parliamentarians put forward a plan to move the capital, and they thought that the possibility of Jinyang would be higher. Because of the security there, coupled with the capture of Yanmen Pass, the defense was greatly increased. So, they suggested moving the capital.

"In my opinion, this is another war between Hedong and Handan, and the people of Handan do not want us to move the capital, because Lijiazhuang and Handan, the economic center, are not far away, and the impact is long-lasting. However, Hedong and Merge are in the status of new development, and the situation is much better with Merge Prefecture. Therefore, they believe that there are still many benefits of moving to Jinyang in Bingzhou, and in this way, their economy will be driven. Shang Wu said.

"What do you think?" Shang Wu spoke his mind.

"Actually, I agree with you that the economic base determines the superstructure. I watched. These proposals are made by legislators from Hedong and the prefectures, and they are not many, but they can put forward proposals, and if we move to the past, the economic, political, and scientific research efforts will be increased to a new level, which may be a good thing for them. But for the people of Handan, it means that they have a lot less support, so it is naturally disadvantageous, and military defense is just an excuse, or in other words, military defense is just a reason, but this reason is not enough to expand some of our problems at present. Jia Xu said.

"However, there are other things that we need to see, that is, we want to expand our economic area, such as giving some tax incentives, these are the situations that we must do, because only in this way can we achieve a greater degree of development, so such a situation is what we should pay more attention to." Jia Xu said.

"Economic center, let's set up one more special economic zone." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"Not one, I think, Hedong, Jinyang, and Handan, establish a few more. In this way, it can also develop rapidly, and if you don't suffer from widowhood, you will suffer from unevenness. Jia Xu said.

Shang Wu nodded, he thought, this is still okay, after all, in this case, for them, this is a new development.

"Yes, give them a few more." Shang Wu said. In this way, there will be greater opportunities for them to develop.
