Li Zicheng still shook his head, "Pontus neither needs your silver nor your food!" ”

Pan Shen's face was frightened, and his body was trembling, "The Metropolitan Governor...... If you need a house to be used as a barracks, the villain ...... The villain can also make some ......"

Li Zicheng smiled faintly, but still shook his head, "Pan Dong Zhu misunderstood, Pontus Governor doesn't lack anything," Seeing that Pan Shen still showed a terrifying look on his face, he said: "Pan Dong has this heart, it's enough!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Pan Shen was stunned for a while, how could there be thieves who were not greedy for money and food? What did Li Zicheng look at?

"Lord Pan, all your belongings are earned by you, and the Governor of Pontus will never take them forcibly," Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and he said: "But the Governor of Pondu said that it was in the front, and the Governor of Pondu didn't care about the past, and now that the Mandate of Heaven Army has taken over the Acropolis of Jingyu, from now on, Lord Pan must act in accordance with the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor...... I don't know what laws and regulations the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion has......"

"It's very simple, according to the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Army, from now on, if Lord Pan earns silver, he will be allowed to pay taxes to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion according to the standard of fifteen taxes and one tax!"

"Fifteen taxes one?" Pan Shen quickly calculated in his heart, with the Pan family's property, how much silver he would lose this time, his eyes were introverted, and he frowned unconsciously.

"Don't misunderstand Lord Pan," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "What the governor of Bendu means is not that the property of the Pan Mansion must be taxed, but that from now on, if the Pan Mansion has any income, it will pay taxes to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion according to the standard of fifteen taxes and one tax!" ”

"Ah......" Pan Shen's brows suddenly relaxed, and his face was happy, "The Metropolitan Governor is saying that the former property does not need to be taxed?" ”

"No, you don't!" Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "At that time, Jingyuwei was not the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, as long as Pan Dongzhu made money by his ability, the Governor of Bendu didn't care, but in the future, Pan Dongzhu will have to pay taxes according to the rate, not only Pan Dongzhu, but all merchants in the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion must pay taxes, and the Governor of Bendu will treat them equally." ”

"So...... The villain understood," Pan Shen saw that Li Zicheng was not expropriating his family property, and mentioned the little heart in his throat, so he slowly returned to his chest, "Don't worry, the villain must pay taxes according to the law!" ”

Li Zicheng originally wanted to propose the redistribution of land, but he came all the way from Lanzhou, and he didn't see many people, and if he wanted to come to the local land, it was also a famine, so he said: "There is another point, that is, land, no matter who it is, you have to pay taxes on farming, and it is also fifteen taxes and one, within the scope of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, no one can be an exception!" ”

"The villain understands," replied Pan Shen with a bow, "but ...... Don't hide it from the governor, although the villain has opened up a wide range of business sources, the land is not much......"

"It doesn't matter how much land you have, how much land you have, how much grain you can pay," Li Zicheng patted Pan Shen on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, on the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, there are definitely not a few merchants with more financial resources than Pan Mansion, as long as they pay taxes according to the rate, the Governor of Pontus will help them make money!" ”

"Really?" Pan Shen almost couldn't believe that the government had always blackmailed merchants, and if it weren't for the guise of protecting Jingyuwei, I am afraid that he would have been squeezed dry long ago, and Li Zicheng would really support and help the merchants?

"You will understand later," Li Zicheng had already taken a step, "as long as you pay taxes according to the rate, no matter how much money you earn, the governor will not be blushing!" ”

Dai Junen was still stunned, this Li Zicheng is really ...... Seeing that Li Zicheng had already walked away, he hurriedly raised his old legs, hurried over, and followed behind Li Zicheng, lest Li Zicheng lose him.

Pan Shen also came to his senses and hurried to catch up with Li Zicheng, "the governor of the capital......"

Li Zicheng stopped, turned around and said, "What else is going on with Dong Pan?" ”

"Metropolitan Governor," Pan Shen hesitated for a while, and finally said: "When the Metropolitan Governor first arrived in Jingyuwei, the villain wanted to be a host......" and was afraid that Li Zicheng would not agree, and kept making eyes at Dai Junen.

Although Dai Junen did not have a deep friendship with Pan Shen, when he first entered the Acropolis, he robbed Wu Shen of a lot of grain, so he accepted his favor, so he bowed down and said: "The Metropolitan Governor does not accept Pan Dong's labor army, but Pan Dong's heart ...... Didn't the Metropolitan always care about the people? Don't chill the hearts of the people in the city......"

Can Pan Shen represent the people in the city? Isn't a rich businessman like him a wealth obtained by oppressing the people? However, there are not many wealthy businessmen in Jingyuwei, and if they want to develop in the future, they will have to rely on him, so they smiled and said: "Since it is the intention of Pan Dongzhu, the Pontus Governor has no choice but to be disrespectful, so let's do it, today's lunch, the Pontus Governor will bother Pan Dongzhu." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is here, and the Pan Mansion is shining!" Pan Shen bowed down again and saluted before leaving.

Dai Junen saw that Pan Shen had gone far away, and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is really not short of food?" The Governor's Grain ...... The villain didn't see ......" He and Li Zicheng came all the way to the Jingyu Acropolis, and they didn't see that the Tianming Army had enough food at all.

Most of the food of the Mandate of Heaven Army is stored in Jinjiatai, so you naturally can't see it! Li Zicheng didn't explain, but said with a smile: "The Ming army in the city has all surrendered to the Mandate of Heaven Army, and the food is naturally owned by the Mandate of Heaven Army." ”

"How does the Governor know that there is enough food stored in the city?"

"Zhongfu wants to fool Pontus, doesn't he?" Li Zicheng pointed to Dai Junen's nose while walking, "Zhongfu's subordinates, originally had 20,000 soldiers, naturally there were 20,000 soldiers' food, but now there are only 6,000 prisoners of war left, isn't the food very sufficient?" Even counting the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven, it's still very redundant, right? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Dai Junen suddenly had a black line on his face, but he still admired Li Zicheng's calculation in his heart, no wonder the Heavenly Mandate Army continued to win battles!

Li Zicheng laughed, but he accelerated the speed of his march.

Dai Junen was able to catch up, but he said: "The governor of the capital...... Villain...... The villain wants to join the Mandate of Heaven......"

"Oh, why?" Li Zicheng stopped and said with a smile: "Isn't Zhongfu going to Xining to have a look?" ”

"No need," Dai Junen shook his head, and the skin on his face shook, "I saw the words and deeds of the Grand Governor today, villain...... Even if the villain doesn't go to Xining, he understands the personality of the Metropolitan Governor! ”

"Since Zhongfu has made up his mind, the Governor of Pontus naturally welcomes it very much," Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said, "After joining the Heavenly Mandate Army, what kind of work does Zhongfu hope to do?" ”

"The villain is under the orders of the Metropolitan Governor," Dai Junen said: "However, the villain's specialty is to build cement, I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor has a suitable job?" ”

"Building water conservancy?" On the side of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, there is indeed no such specialty, Li Zicheng thought for a while, and said: "After the war of Jingyuwei is over, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will focus on the area from the north to the outer wall, and the Governor of Heaven intends to set up a Huizhou Mansion north of the Yellow River, and Zhongfu will go to Huizhou to be a prefect, and settle down the place first?" ”

"North? North of the Yellow River? Dai Junen was surprised, "Governor, isn't the land in the north the pastures of the Mongols?" Is it ......?"

"Zhongfu is right, the Mongols in the north have been wiped out by the Mandate of Heaven army, and only a small number of Mongolian strong men are left, who are assisting in the construction of the outer border wall," Li Zicheng said: "The governor of Pontus accepted a lot of displaced people and placed them in the north, if Zhongfu is willing to take up the prefect, with Zhongfu's experience as an official, he will be able to properly settle the people, three years, about three years later, the governor of Pontus will transfer Zhongfu back to Xining to serve!" ”

"No need," Dai Junen's mind was a little confused, and it took a while to sort it out before he figured out the current situation of the Huizhou Mansion, "Don't worry, the villain will definitely settle the displaced people and make Huizhou a Han land again." ”

"Then there will be work!" Li Zicheng bowed his hand to Dai Junen, "However, before Zhongfu goes to Huizhou, he has to help the governor of Pontus clean up the various military forts east of the acropolis, since the acropolis has belonged to us, we can't let him fall under the threat of the imperial court." ”

"This is natural," Dai Junen hurriedly returned the salute, "The villain will go back, first repair the books for the military forts, and let them surrender," he was a little worried, "Dadu Governor, further east from the Jingyu Acropolis, it is already very close to Guyuan, will the Overseer let these military forts belong to the Mandate of Heaven Army?" ”

"If Hong Laojiu refuses to let go of the Heavenly Mandate Army, even if the Governor of Pontus doesn't take these military forts, he will still send troops," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "If you take these military forts, you can use them as a barrier for the Jingyu Acropolis, at least you can give early warning!" ”

"Governor, the villain understands!" Dai Junen hurriedly bowed and saluted, then left Li Zicheng, and went to the barracks first under the escort of Li Zicheng's own soldiers.

Li Zicheng wandered around the north and south streets for a while, and although the city was orderly, he didn't see a single citizen.

A person on the opposite side hurried over, saw Li Zicheng, turned over and bowed, "My subordinates, thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for taking care of my mother!" ”

"Is it Hongzhou?" Li Zicheng asked him to get up and said, "The Heavenly Mandate Army has just entered the Jingyu Acropolis...... Although military discipline has always been strict, no one can guarantee that in case, the governor of Pontus sent Xiaomi over first...... Millet is the pro-soldier of the Governor of Hongzhou, so when the Governor of Bendu is here, no one dares to hurt the family members of Hongzhou! ”

Seeing that Zhao Guangrui had no intention of leaving, Li Zichengqi said: "Now that the city has just settled down and people's hearts are unstable, why doesn't Hongzhou stay at home to accompany his mother?" ”

"If there are hundreds of households, it is a hundred times better than subordinates," Zhao Guangrui was grateful to Li Zicheng, and he had nothing to reciprocate, when he heard Li Zicheng's words, he thought for a while, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor, the people in the city, don't know much about the Mandate of Heaven Army, if a few soldiers are selected from the surrendered troops, shouting along the streets, and publicizing the military discipline of the Mandate of Heaven Army......"

Li Zicheng thought about it well, so he selected a few soldiers with particularly loud voices from the surrendered soldiers, beat gongs and drums, and marched along the streets, while announcing their homes and comforting the people in the city.

No matter how they treated the people, in front of foreign enemies, the people could only choose to trust them, and when they were in charge of the acropolis, the people always had a way to live!
