Mingfeng County, outside the city.

Standing on the high platform of the school yard, the sergeant was wearing light armor and holding the long sword at his waist, on the surface, he seemed to be watching the sergeants below training, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was no focus in his eyes, obviously, he didn't care if these sergeants were training.

When Shi Yi came to Mingfeng County, Shi Xie told him: "The ability of the snake demon is not invincible to manpower, what you have to do is not to kill the snake demon, but to make a posture of arming the army to watch the Son of Heaven reflect." ”

Therefore, don't look at Shiyi, who has been training during this time, and has a posture that he will attack Qingping County at any time, but in fact, this is completely just a show, not only for the people of Mingfeng County, but also for the Son of Heaven.

And in normal times, Shi Yi will naturally pay attention to collecting information about Qingping County.

The intelligence of Qingping County can be called the easiest place to collect, there is no one, really, it is too simple, not to mention sending professional spies, even if it is to send an ordinary person over, as long as you stay for a day or two, you can know the news of Qingping County.

Qingping County is completely like a sieve, and it has no intention of covering it up at all, so it is so swaggering in the open, and there is no defense at all.

According to the news sent back, if there was no snake demon, Shi Yi dared to make a military order, as long as he was given five hundred sharp soldiers, he would be able to set foot in Qingping County in half a day, maybe half a day, half an hour?

But there is no ifs in this world, in fact, there are snake demons in Qingping County.

When Shi Yi learned the specific information of the snake demon, he deeply believed what his father Shi Xie said, this snake demon is indeed not comparable to human beings.

Knowing people and knowing people is more powerful, if it is just like this, it is not enough to be afraid, then the snake demon will actually have legendary spells, there are at least four known spells, such a snake demon, it is not bad if you don't come to provoke people, and you still want to provoke it?

Therefore, even if Qingping County looks like a sieve on the surface, it will be broken as soon as it is stabbed, but in fact, the existence of the snake demon makes Qingping County impregnable, and the snake demon obviously knows this, so the snake demon will not move, Shi Qi even guessed that the snake demon is actually completely fearless, but because the snake demon once said that the people of Mingfeng County are also its people, so he did not take the initiative to attack.

As a child of a family, Shi Yi will learn some art of war at a very young age, but the book of war has never mentioned how to fight with a snake demon, what soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, what is as fast as a forest, and its plundering is like fire, the methods on these war books are completely, the snake demon is there, and no strategy is good, because all strategies are to kill the enemy, but the key is that the snake demon seems to be unable to kill.

"I feel that my father is indeed a little anxious, in the face of such a snake demon, my Shi family really shouldn't be an enemy of it, but I don't know what the situation of the third uncle is in Qingping County, and whether there is room for change in this matter."

............

The Dragon King didn't know that just by staying quietly in Qingping County, he could make the enemy fearful, and even give birth to the idea that it was not comparable to manpower.

As Tie Yong came to the county seat with the wine, the county town also began to make wine, but winemaking alone could not consume so many grapes, and the drying of raisins and everyone's usual daily consumption accounted for the majority.

In the beginning, when everyone heard that they could eat grapes, and they could eat them casually, they were filled with joy, and on the first day, many people had eaten bad stomachs, because these people were all eating nonsense, and they ate grapes as food.

After a few days of eating, everyone calmed down, and even some people didn't want to eat it anymore, after all, grapes really can't be eaten as food.

Bunches of fresh grapes are picked and dried on the dam, and it is conservatively estimated that raisins can also make tens of thousands of catties.

Other businessmen can't come to Qingping County, but the Jia family can, the Jia family has also become the main sales object of grapes during this time, batches of grapes were transported away by the Jia family to supply the surrounding counties, the Dragon King feels that these grapes should also increase some of his reputation, slowly accumulated, in the future, other counties will be like Mingfeng County, the Dragon King used to raise his arms and exhale, and the servants were like clouds.

"Master Dragon King, it's time to eat." Wang Yong shouted that after coming to Qingping County, he was in charge of the Dragon King's food.

Tie Ling was helping the Dragon King cut off the meat from the steak, and carefully brushed the sauce and brought it to the Dragon King's mouth.

"What kind of meat is this?"

"Wolf steak, the Fort Guards fought today." Tie Yong replied.

"The wolves in the county haven't been killed yet?"

"It's almost, according to the Castle Guards, I haven't seen a wolf for several days, and today I was lucky enough to run into a few on the edge of the forest and kill them all."

"Then I guess I ran to the mountains and told Tiewei that even if they couldn't finish killing, they had to scare the wolves away."

"Hmm."

Zhang Xiaoyang was also nibbling on the meat chops, his mouth full of oil.

"By the way, Dragon King, I went to the Dragon King's Palace a few days ago."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"The peaches over there are ripe, but unfortunately they are all pecked by the birds..."

"Ha, if you don't say it, I'll forget."

"Dragon King, you can get the glowing grapes back, do you want to get the peach trees here?"

"It's a bit of a struggle to get it, isn't it?"

"It's a bit of a struggle to get the whole tree over, but if you cut the roots, you should be fine just moving the stump."

"Okay, but don't worry, when are you going back, bring it by the way."

"Hmm."

"Dragon King, the students have selected some people, and they are going to let these people help the students manage the county seat, and ask the Dragon King to take a look."

"I won't look at it, you can make your own mind about this matter, by the way, what about that Wang He, the heart disease hasn't been removed yet?"

"After the students have been explaining it in the past few days, Brother Wang seems to want to open up a little."

"That's good."

"Dragon King, there is one more thing for the students."

"Say."

"There are still a few months to go until the autumn harvest, dare to ask the Dragon King, what should I do with this year's taxes? To accept or not to collect? If so, how much will be taxed? ”

Is it taxed? Liu Dalu pondered for a while, and said slowly: "There is no doubt that the tax must be collected." ”

Taxation is an important source of financial revenue for each force, and it is generally used for the expenses of managers, just like Quan Gang now, he is a managerial talent, and he can't farm, but he also has to live, it is impossible not to eat, and the role of taxes is for people like Quan Gang.

At the same time, the tax should also be used for infrastructure construction, such as the ditch that Quan Gang called on everyone to dig, which belongs to infrastructure, and according to the normal situation, it should be the manager who takes out the money from the tax and hires workers to dig the ditch in the form of hiring.

The fundamental theory of taxation is actually to take it from the people, use it for the people, collect the people's money first, gather it together, and then return it to the people in some way.

But theory is always just theory, and there are too few people who can really do this throughout the ages.
