Chapter 247: Is Brother Learning from Lu Buwei?
Since the elder brother stepped down from his post as a driver, he has returned to his hometown in Qu County and no longer cares about political affairs. Yuan Shao also sent someone to find his brother and wanted his brother to join the office. But the elder brother refused. How can he take refuge in Sun Ce now? Moreover, the Mi family has lived in Xuzhou for generations, so how can they leave Xuzhou. Mi Fang Dao.
My brother has now returned to Xuzhou, and has now taken the East China Sea, and will soon attack Xiapi and take the whole of Xuzhou. Why didn't Zifang persuade Zizhong to return to my brother's account?
Mi Fang thought to herself, did you blush when you said this? Just a few of you still want to take the whole of Xuzhou? As long as you can take the East China Sea, that is, stealing chickens and dogs, you have taken advantage of a loophole. It's really a shame. Oh, and your face is red enough.
Ay! My brother has had his own ideas since he was a child, and Fang doesn't know what he thinks, but Fang will persuade his brother, but I don't seem to be willing to go out of my way. I can't help it.
Seeing that Guan Yu still refused to leave, Mi Fang knew that Guan Yu would not leave without sending something away.
I wonder if General Guan just took the grain and grass in Qu County? The fact that the general can come to the house today shows that the general can afford to look at the family. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask, and those who can do it will definitely be done for the general.
Guan Yu was a little embarrassed and said: My brother has just arrived in the East China Sea, and he is indeed short of food and grass, and he hopes that Zifang can borrow a little. When the grain is harvested, it will be returned.
Hi! General Guan was polite, and he still talked about some grain and grass and didn't pay it back. It's just that most of the Mijia industries are all over Xuzhou, and there is not much grain in Qu County at present. At most, he can only draw 1,000 stones for General Guan for emergency. I don't know what the general wants?
However, when the autumn grain is harvested, another batch will definitely be funded.
Guan Yu really wants to scold his mother, you call Hanako! That's just a little bit of food. But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Guan Yu is not a bully. In addition, the soldiers and horses brought with him this time were less than 1,000, and too much grain could not be brought back. And my brother is in Tancheng, so some things still have to wait for my brother to decide!
In this way, Guan thanked Zifang, it was not too early in the morning, and Guan said goodbye.
Mi Fang said: The general walks slowly, and the food fang will immediately arrange for the general to close the military camp.
Then there is labor. After Guan Yu finished speaking, he left.
A few days later, Guan Yu returned to Tancheng to report to Liu Bei. Brother, most of the thirteen counties in the East China Sea have been taken, and there are a few remote counties left, and I will let my subordinates take over.
The second brother was fortunate. I wonder if the second brother has gone to the Mijia family in Qu County?
A certain went, Mi Zizhong was not at home, and Mi Fang said that he had gone to Jiangdong Wu County ten days ago. Guan Yu said.
Oh, what did Zi Zhong do in Wu County? Is it to take refuge in Sun Ce? Liu Bei said.
No, Mi Fang said that the Mi family and the Lu family of Wu County have long-term business contacts. Mi Zizhong received an invitation from the Lu family. I'm going to talk about business. It doesn't look like a fake.
Liu Bei was somewhat skeptical, but he was extremely deep. I didn't say anything.
Guan Yu said again: Mi Fang sent someone to give me a thousand stones of grain, and I brought it all to Tancheng.
Liu Bei only heard that it was only a thousand stones, isn't this a dispatch called Huazi? Liu Bei nodded and said: Yun Chang is happy. Have a good rest for a few days, the third brother is in charge of recruitment. You can check it out when you have time.
A few days later, accompanied by Jiang Wan and some personal soldiers, returned to Qu County. Passing through Qingzhou, because Yuan Shao's focus was on guarding against Cao Cao, Mi Zhu's caravan was not blocked. In fact, everyone in the world is fighting, but everyone understands that they can't cut off business contacts, otherwise everyone will have to finish playing, some places don't produce salt, and some places lack food. Only by continuing to do business can we communicate with each other.
After returning to the Mi family, after Mi Zhu settled Jiang Wan and his party, the two brothers came to the secret room.
The second brother, after seeing Zhang Jie, decided to support Zhang Jie with all the family property.
Is my brother planning to learn from Lu Buwei and put the treasure on Yiren?
There is some truth in what the second brother said, but not all. Lü Buwei was optimistic about Yiren at that time, thinking that strange goods were habitable. But being a brother is not Lu Buwei. Lü Buwei wanted to glorify the court to have this ambition. And our brothers just want to live, and they have no choice!
Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, and the candidates from all over the country have begun to attack and annex each other. Now we are in Xuzhou, and our family is rich. In their eyes, we are the source of money and food. If you don't take refuge in one of the candidates, then sooner or later a catastrophe will befall you. It's a pity that his brother was optimistic that Liu Bei would be able to take over as Xuzhou Mu. But the result was a big disappointment.
Brother Wei later thought about taking refuge in Yuan Shao, but unfortunately Yuan Shao didn't look down on us. In addition, if Liu Bei immediately turned to Yuan Shao as soon as his brother left, he would be somewhat disloyal.
Brother Wei is not so thick-skinned to take the initiative to show favor to Yuan Shao.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth world and the third prince of a famous family, couldn't even beat Cao Cao. Fortunately, I didn't go to Yuan Shao at that time. Otherwise, it's too late to say anything.
But since meeting Zhang Jie, Brother Wei has completely changed his previous views. In the past, I heard people say that Zhang Ming was humble, but when he talked about Mr. Storytelling, he was not even a poor scholar. and in Hebei, he was a big family of tusha, and he never thought that Zhang Jie would become a climate before he was a brother, and he thought that at most he would be another Dong Zhuo.
But since I went to Hebei, I realized how ridiculous my previous ideas were. Hebei is now richer than our Xuzhou, and there are plenty of goods in the market. After some investigation for my brother, I found out that Zhang Jie was collecting commercial taxes in Hebei.
Mi Fang Dao: It stands to reason that Zhang Jie's increase in business taxes will make it more difficult to do business, how can business still prosper?
You are wrong about this, increase the commercial tax, as long as it is not collected indiscriminately, improve the status of businessmen, so that businessmen are no longer bullied. Create a good business environment. Collecting a little tax is nothing to a businessman. The profits can be apologized for! And most of them are, fifteen taxes one, twenty taxes one. There are a few types that are one of the ten taxes.
In Hebei, the status of businessmen is the same as that of ordinary people, and there is no need to be inferior. Do you think Zhang Jie will receive more and more money? Mi Zhu said.
If every place in Hebei collects it like this, then Zhang Jie will make a fortune, and I estimate that a Jizhou will be hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and maybe even hundreds of millions. Mi Fang Dao.
Mi Zhu smiled: But these are not important,
What's more important is that tenants only need to pay 30% of the land rent for farming, and the remaining 70% of the grain is owned by the tenants, and they do not pay taxes. And Hebei has no mouth. Thirty percent of the head tax, but the landlord has to pay one percent of the tax.
Second brother, our family's land rent is a little less in Xuzhou. But it's also divided into four or six! Let's take sixty percent, and the tenants forty percent. There are also taxes to be paid. In this way, those tenants are still grateful to our family.
And Zhang Jie asked all the tenants in Hebei to take seventy percent, can those tenants not be grateful to him when Liu Xiangyi comes?
When you go to the recruitment place in Hebei, you will know it as soon as you see it, and they are all willing to become soldiers.
Why do you want to? They are afraid that Zhang Jie will fail! Because Zhang Jie was defeated, their good days were gone. Do you want to take a look at our Xuzhou? How many soldiers weren't captured by strong men? 20 Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Mr. Storyteller of the Three Kingdoms" to read for free for the first time.
