When Lu Kang's carriage arrived at the Yin Tomb, the master bookkeeper gave him an order. Guo Yi wants to measure the land of the whole county!

"What's the matter?"

The master said: "It is necessary to redefine the taxation. ”

Lu Kang said angrily: "He exempted Jiankang's taxes, and now the people of Jiankang are all well-fed." ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How can this matter last long?" ”

"Alas, we underestimated Guo Yi."

February of the sixth year of Zhongping, 189 A.D.

The land measurement work of the whole county of Yangzhou has been completed.

After the mapping of the whole country was completed, Guo Yi formed an engineer team and a reconnaissance company, and selected one person from the mapping team to be named Long Wu as the logistics captain.

The Patent Office was established next to Zhongshan College, and more than 50 patented designs were registered on the first day. For example, glass, two-person looms, trolleys, wooden cranes and many other items designed according to local conditions during the construction of Jiankang City. The huge economic benefits have also prompted more artisans to develop new technologies.

With the dredging of trade routes, merchants from Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou began to flow into Yangzhou, and the products from all over the country also flowed continuously, and gold and silver began to enter the pockets of Yangzhou people with the development of commodity trading. The longest trade route even reached the territory of Changshan in Jizhou.

From silk to fur, from chestnut rice to wheat. Jingzhou's bream, Yuzhou's yams, and Qingzhou's jujubes have all appeared in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City. Commercial transactions, which are not limited by time and geography, allow people to buy what they need at any time, and as the number of items increases, the price also begins to decrease.

Shanyue was temporarily suppressed, and in the process of attacking Shanyue, Guo Yi completed the integration and dictatorship of the state's armaments, and only the basic security forces were retained in each county, and all regular armies belonged to the state pastor.

In front of Guo Yi's eyes, only one last problem was left - internal struggle.

The subordinates of each county were monopolized by the local scholars, and only Danyang County was the only one that completed the internal personnel reform. If the problem of the scholars is not solved, Guo Yi will not be able to sit firmly in Yangzhou.

At present, the Lu family and the Gu family are relatively peaceful, and there are signs of willingness to cooperate. The Zhang family and the Zhu family still refused to cooperate, and even the Zhang family publicly published seven articles, openly accusing and crusading against Guo Yi. cursed him for having no father or son, and that he was inferior to a beast. Violating the etiquette and law, there is a heart of disobedience. Tampering with the classics, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors.

Busy resuming production and solving people's livelihood problems, Guo Yi ignored all these public opinion issues. Now that Yangzhou's production has stabilized, the people can be fed and clothed, and his prestige and support among the people have a foundation.

It's time to clean up this gang of unscrupulous naysayers!

With the completion of the measurement of the land. Guo Yi went to the imperial court and recommended the implementation of a new tax system. At the same time, in Yangzhou, the implementation of "apportionment into acres" was started, the poll tax was abolished, and the land reclamation was encouraged. Silver was used in full swing to replace taxes in kind such as grain and nas. At the same time, a tiered tax was introduced, the more you earned, the higher the tax, and those whose income is below the poverty line are exempted from taxes.

As soon as the new tax law was promulgated, the world was shocked!

Luoyang directly exploded the pot, and hundreds of officials quarreled endlessly above the court. Guo Yi's tax law has one of the most significant features: robbing the rich and helping the poor! Supporting the poor by imposing heavy taxes on the rich.

At this time, Emperor Ling of Han was seriously ill again, and the eunuchs, relatives, and scholars were already fighting in Luoyang City, and they were about to win or lose, and they couldn't take care of Guo Yi's affairs at all.

At this time, Cao Cao proposed to He Jin and approved Guo Yi's new tax law, but the taxes collected by the imperial court from Yangzhou remained unchanged! In this way, the income of the imperial court will not decrease, and the pressure of taxation is on Guo Yi.

He Jin was overjoyed, immediately agreed to this suggestion, and once again let Guo Yi fake the festival.

When he received Jieyue, Fan Xin also sent a secret report. The county guards refused to implement the new policy, and the nobles opposed the new tax laws.

You must know that the new tax law is to snatch money from the mouths of the nobles to help the common people, and they have come out to criticize and criticize. If it weren't for the fact that the regular army was all controlled by Guo Yi, they would only be afraid that they would have to take military action directly!

"Enforced!" Guo Yi doesn't want to talk nonsense, the county lieutenants of the whole county are all officers of the dragoon battalion, and the regular army is in his own hands, are you afraid of this gang of unarmed scholars? "Command all counties and counties, and those who dare to disobey will be killed!"

The next day, an urgent message came. Disobeyed by the order of the fist county and was beheaded by Long San! This person is a son of the Zhu family of Wu County. The first urgent report has not been put down, and the second one has come again. Xiang'an County ordered Zhang Zhong, and Juchao County ordered Zhang Cheng to disobey orders and be beheaded by Long Er!

Immediately after the third letter was delivered, Lujiang was too protective of Zhou Xin's order and was beheaded by Long Er. Soon the fourth letter arrived, and Yu Zhang was too guarded to let the abandonment of the official go!

Guo Yi looked at the letter on the table and asked, "Can anyone replace him?" ”

Fan Xin opened the personnel file and introduced: "Gu Yong can be the Taishou of Lujiang. Then ......"

"You arrange it." Guo Yi said coldly: "I want to see how many heads they have!" ”

Within three days, seventy-eight heads were cut off, from Zhou Xin and other guards to unknown officials. The New Deal was enforced with butcher's knives. After the first three days of hardship, all the counties in Yangzhou accepted the policy of apportioning the land to the mu, but this policy of massacres was bound to be met with sustained resistance.

Wang Yi proposed: "At this time, it is the beginning of spring, and the husband might as well hunt in Huiji." It can not only practice tactics, but also show off its might and deter Jiangdong! ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Guo Yi listened to the suggestion and ordered Long Yi to organize the troops, and the hunting place was chosen in the mountainous area of Huiji. At this time, there are elephants and tigers and other fierce beasts in the Huiji area, which is really good for hunting.

Moreover, although the regular army in Yangzhou has been controlled, Guo Yi has never commanded as the commander, and it is very necessary to clarify his existence. Hunting for military exercises is also a tradition of all dynasties.

At the beginning of March, after systematic co-ordination, the hunt officially began.

Guo Yi presided over the sacrifice and told the heavens. Then it was announced that the hunt had begun, and he took the lead. A total of 7,000 soldiers participated in the hunt, divided into seven squads, with the highest goal of killing a tiger. After thousands of people entered the mountain forest, they could only hear gongs and drums in a moment, but no human figures could be seen.

Guo Yi was also equipped with a bow and arrow, ready to shoot a tiger himself. The Yue Ying Horse was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he shook off the escort behind him. Guo Yi relied on his own force and walked all the way along the mountain.

"Phew!" The Shadow Horse stopped, and there was a wild deer in the bushes beside him that had been eaten and what was left. Guo Yi looked along the wreckage, and there were a few scattered tiger footprints on the mountain road.

"Let's go." Guo Yi drove the horse slowly, following the footprints.

After walking about two miles of road, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere around me was not right. An incomparably strong consciousness in his mind told him, "Danger! ”

Guo Yi immediately drew his sword and attacked in the direction where the crisis came, only to see a huge black shadow attacking, raising his claws to shoot down. Guo Yi didn't dare to hold it up, and at this time, Yue Ying jumped forward sharply to help him dodge the blow, but the claws still hooked his arm, tearing off a piece of the armor.

"You go first." Guo Yi turned over and dismounted, holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, confronting the tiger. Yue Ying hissed twice, turned around and ran.

"Whew!!" The tiger roared, its hair stood on end, its eyes locked on him, and its thick soles stepped firmly on the ground, slowly approaching.

Guo Yi's arm swelled a little, and although the blow just now didn't hit directly, it should not be underestimated. The tiger is worthy of being the king of beasts, if it is really hit by it, even if it is his own strengthened physique, he is afraid that he will be disabled.

Without opening the evil eye, he wanted to defeat the tiger in his normal state.
