Luochuan County Lingmu, who was in a complicated mood, sent Li Caishen away, and turned around to ask a few masters why they stopped themselves from talking.

Seeing that Dong took the initiative to ask, the three masters glanced at each other, and stepped forward together to salute; "The proprietor, the students and others are afraid that the proprietor will refuse to join him, so they stop it."

"Where does this start? Don't you see the hints of the period? If he agrees to help him make the formalities legal, once things are repeated or there are mistakes in the future, then the first thing may be ----" The county magistrate frowned and said what he thought.

"The proprietor knows everything, and of course the students know the trick." The three masters hurriedly confessed that their wisdom was not inferior to that of the proprietor, and they had already figured out the trick, but the three of them all changed their words, "But, have you ever considered the current situation of the proprietor?" ”

"How?" This is just a casual question, the current situation is a well-known thing, do you need to talk about it?

"The proprietor." A master stepped forward and said in a man's voice; "In fact, since the thieves wiped out the pickled goods in our guard, we no longer have the slightest ability to resist the thieves, so how easy is it to rebuild the guard? Not to mention that there is no way to recruit the military households of the guard, that is, the soldiers of the military households are reluctantly recruited, and the flowing money is not what the county can raise anymore, and there are no soldiers in the guard, then our Luochuan county is an undefended city, so any group of thieves can easily break the city and loot, and at that time, the adult will be charged with the crime of losing the city wall, how many heads are enough for the court to cut off? ”

This is a bit excessive, but this is indeed a big truth, the county nods his head, in fact, there is no hope of rebuilding the guard in the future, this is a well-known thing.

The second master hurriedly stepped forward; "And once it is done, the kid promised to train himself to solve this problem."

"Why is that?"

"The proprietor, please think about it, and don't talk about whether he is the spokesperson of the thief, just these three thousand townsmen can deter Zuo Jinxiao, and we can also save money and food for recruiting soldiers, not to mention that he promised that as long as he is brave in other towns, the thieves will not intrude, then this Luochuan County must be peaceful, and the political achievements of the adults must be first-class and good."

"This is, but how should Qianhu say it?" The county is still hesitating.

"Don't worry, adults, the thousand households are eager to do it."

"But why?"

"The proprietor, please think about it, since the last defeat of the thousand households, they are in a panic, and once which pole breaks the Luochuan without a single soldier, the first person to ask for the head above is him, and then it is very powerful, simply put these three thousand township Yong in the name of the guard, one can make the court on the peak without twists and turns, and also save the thousands of households from the trouble of rebuilding the guard, and then the county can also use this name to get the peak to draw a share of the money and grain that does not actually exist, the county has less burden to pay, and the thousand households get benefits."

"Well, why didn't I think of this?" Lord Xianzun clapped his hands and said suddenly. That's a lot of money, and although it can't fall into your own pocket, it can reduce the burden of your own tax collection.

Another master stepped forward and said; "Moreover, this natural disaster continues, Luochuan has been broken, and next year's imperial grain tax has not been settled, which will greatly affect the future of the proprietor, but once this kid's matter is done, not only will the next year's income be handed over in the name of justice, but also a part of the autumn grain tax will be in hand, which is the proprietor's great political achievement. What's more, how can the Cao family have half a cent of tax and imperial grain in the warehouse over the years? Where is there such filial piety? The county lord nodded slowly in approval.

"Why not do something like that?" In fact, the filial piety of 2,000 taels per master every year is also real money, which is much stronger than the amount of hard work earned in a year.

In fact, these are the results of Mr. Li, who arrived last night, and visited the three masters in advance, and these words were also handed over to them by Mr. Li in disguise to say to the county honor, and interests determine everything.

The county respects the heart of the road; "This is indeed the best way to solve all of his crises in front of him, about the future, it is a matter of taking one step at a time, his term of office is still three years, as long as nothing happens in these three years, with his annual filial piety to his boss, he will be able to change places, as for the future, it will be next, so he gritted his teeth and nodded;" Okay, then promise that kid. ”

The next day, the county and Qianhu warmly summoned Mr. Li, and completed all the procedures that should be done with the efficiency that did not come back, so everyone happily ate a famous dish of the largest restaurant in the county, and the guests and hosts dispersed after their own joy.

Since then, the county has seen that there are no bandits rampant in the jurisdiction, the world is peaceful, the place is gradually prosperous, the people begin to live and work in peace and contentment, and the commercial market in the county is also prosperous day by day, a little red between the green, because of their own effective governance of the place, several times praised by the upper peak, the happy idle egg pain of the county and the thousand households began to find the north, even several times the peak leaked out of the county Zun, but he was shirked in every way, this is a miracle.

After Mr. Li finished the above things, he thought that there were still poles in various places that Wu Tao and others needed to handle, and he also knew the way to deal with those pole colleagues on the cottage, and he was also grateful for the importance and trust of the cottage in himself, so he simply began to lobby the heroes from all over the world with his three-inch clever tongue, and successfully completed the task without danger, which caused the inspection of Wu Tao's armed parade.

After Mr. Li finished speaking, everyone admired Mr. Li's wisdom and bravery, and in this way, this base area was put on a legal coat, and those officials must be able to carefully care for and cover it up in every possible way for their own interests, so the base area will have a fairly long period of peaceful development that is not disturbed by the imperial court, and then the rest is how to manage this hard-won base area according to King Chuang's ideas.

Chen Ce stood up and said, "Since Mr. Li has such a hill in his chest, how about offering a few more strategies for the governance of this base area?" ”

"The political officer has praised it falsely, and my knowledge and opinions are also compared with you. After the politeness, Mr. Li had a straight face and said respectfully: "When I came down, King Chuang and I had a deep talk, King Chuang's set of methods is unprecedented and unprecedented, let me feel inexplicable, as long as we follow King Chuang's planning strategy, everything will be fine, the only thing to pay attention to is not to be biased, and at the same time, we must continue to find loopholes and try our best to make up for them." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, and the third uncle was even more happy when he saw everyone praising his godson, and he was smiling without seeing his teeth.

Wu Tao Dao; "Now that the legal cloak has been completed, the formation of Xiangyong is also going well, and the matter of connecting other heroes has also exceeded the task under Mr. Li's vertical, and the rest is to resume production in the base area as soon as possible."

"Yes." Chen Ce said; "When I came, King Chuang was full of confidence in our victory, the only thing I was worried about was that we were inexperienced, afraid of delaying the resumption of production, and we would not be able to let the people live such a hard life as in the past if we obtained the base area, which would not only be sorry for the people, but also more likely to turn the base area into a burden for us.

"What King Chuang said is very true." Wu Tao nodded heavily.

"The matter of organizing the militia has been on the right track, and it will soon see results, with 3,000 brave and strong soldiers in the townships, plus the early warning of the periphery of the villages, plus the militia from all over the country, even the 20,000 foreign rogues will not be harmful to our base area, and now the grain in our hands, the old camp does not need it, in addition to leaving a little in case of emergency, there are still a lot of piles there, so we should organize the militia and young people to start dredging rivers and canals, leveling the existing fields, and trying to reclaim wasteland to increase grain production, so as to use the method of work for relief, First, to solve the food rations of some people, so that they can eat the grain they have been allocated for a longer time, and second, to lay the foundation for spring ploughing. Mr. Li said.

"Yes." Chen Ce followed and said; "We must also immediately implement the system of village heads, organize and carry out a good method of mutual aid groups, so that everyone can have people, cattle, and tools, and communicate whether they are actively preparing for farming and production, and also require those landlords to organize tenants to carry out these methods."

"Now, as long as our methods are promoted, don't let us say, those landlords and old wealth will also follow suit, after all, the tenants have more grain, they will also charge more rent, which is why King Chuang does not strongly require those landlords to pay rent according to the fixed rent, according to King Chuang's words, interests drive development, development and expand interests, so spiraling, all full of energy. Hahahaha. ”

Now Chen Che is already a die-hard admirer of Lu Shi, and he has learned Lu Shi's style very much. Mr. Li didn't understand what a spiral was, but when he thought about it, he applauded at the time.

"In fact, in this year of continuous natural disasters, the biggest and fastest way to increase production is to install more windmills to lift water for irrigation, but the construction capacity of the old windmill camp is limited and cannot meet the supply, and the people have no money in their hands and cannot afford to build themselves, but they are helpless." Chen Ce said regretfully, thinking about the scene of windmills along the river, his blood boiled, but the actual situation in front of him made him powerless for a while, and he couldn't rely on the cottage to give it for nothing, that is, the gold mountain would be spent in an instant.

Everyone was silent for a while, but they couldn't think of a reasonable way, so they had to wait for the opportunity to ask the omnipotent king.

Seeing that everyone was cold, Wu Tao changed the topic and said; "Then let's arrange it like this, let's do the above things quickly, and take the rest slowly."

Everyone nodded yes.

"By the way, I don't know what the business tax is that King Chuang said." This is just that Wu Tao has nothing to say for a while, and everyone looks down on the four percent tax, but he just hopes to ensure that the soldiers who collect taxes and maintain local law and order by the way can be fed.

Now with Caojiaji as the center, there is not only Caojiaji, a big market town, but also seven or eight other large and small market towns, all of which have their own market days for everyone to trade. The army has also sent more than ten or twenty tax managers to garrison various places, mainly to maintain local security, and tax collection has been put in a secondary position, anyway, everyone is not optimistic about that pitiful tax revenue. It's just that King Chuang said, so let's do it.

As soon as he heard the question of taxation, Chen Ce smiled and let the clerk who followed him take out an account book; "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone was not optimistic about the means of breaking into the king at the beginning, so let you open your eyes today." Then open the account book and let the paper be read to everyone.

The clerk spoke; "Our army broke the Cao family set on the first day of December, and arranged for various localities to collect taxes on the third day of December, and it was exactly half a month until yesterday, and a total of 21,022,241 commercial taxes were collected."

Hearing this data, Wu Tao and the others were stunned at the time, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, how is this possible? That's how much that four percent is?

Seeing this, the clerk explained aloud; "Leaders, this is half a month, as the more than 300,000 silver money we distributed to the people began to circulate in the market, the increase in base procurement, and the reduction of tax rates, more and more merchants will come to trade, they will sell the goods they brought, take away the special products in the hands of the people, and the flow of funds in the market will be faster, so we will increase some tax silver next month, at least to keep this income unchanged."

"Mr. Chen, don't take advantage of the businessman, this is against the original intention of the military division." The third uncle said worriedly.
