Jiangdu City is sandwiched between the two major forces of Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, and it is almost impossible to hold Jiangdu City with Chen Ling's little strength. Pei Shiju thought about it in his heart, and felt that Jiangnan should take Jiangdu City into his pocket.

"General, are you considering recruiting Chen Ling, after all, everyone used to be in the same camp, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Hehe, that's what I want to do.

Chen Ling and I have a good relationship, but what Chen Ling thinks in his heart now, it is still unclear.

If he feels that he is very capable and doesn't care about Li Zitong or even Du Fuwei's threat at all, then it's another matter, if we rashly propose to let Chen Ling join Jiangnan, is it a bit inappropriate?

Therefore, it mainly depends on Chen Ling's own thoughts.

Of course, if Chen Ling himself took the initiative to join the Jiangnan camp, it would be another matter. Master Pei saw the opportunity to act on this matter. ”

"Well, it's also true, the twisted melon is not sweet, it is better for Chen Ling to voluntarily offer to join the Jiangnan camp, this is the best policy."

Putting down Jiangdu, Su Wei still had doubts about Wu Xing's aftermath.

"General, Shen Faxing has perished, how to deal with the Wu Xing Shen clan, is it to set a tone for his subordinates."

"Well, all the relatives of the Wu Xing Shen family who participated in the rebellion will naturally be investigated. Also, the land confiscated from the Wuxing Shen family must be concentrated.

You should know that there will inevitably be casualties in all wars, and our soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army have bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield, and as the commander-in-chief, I don't want them to have any worries. I have also promised them that I will lead them on a path to prosperity, and this promise will be fulfilled.

We can't forget about the soldiers just because they're injured and can't go to war anymore.

No, never!

These lands were pooled and left to veterans who could not go to war.

This strategy must be carried out from beginning to end, and I want to tell the soldiers with facts that I, Lu Chang, will not give up any of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. ”

Lu Chang's words undoubtedly shook the hearts of the people present, there is no such advanced thinking in this era, but as a later generation, Lu Chang knows that loving the soldiers is to love himself, and his measures will undoubtedly form a huge cohesion in the entire army.

"A general loves his soldiers like a son, and he will be more loyal and supported by the officers and soldiers, and his subordinates will definitely convey it to the officers and soldiers in the shortest possible time. With the wisdom of a general, the Jiangnan army will definitely be invincible. ”

Lai Hu'er was very excited, he used to feel the general's kindness to the family, but now he admires it, and secretly decided to follow the general for the rest of his life.

Su Wei and Pei Ju also praised Lu Chang's measures, but they didn't react violently to Hu'er, after all, they were civil officials.

Looking at the expressions of several people under him, Lu Chang knew that he had received some effects.

"In addition, Lord Su has to think about the civil affairs of Jiangnan now. I plan to reduce taxes in Gangnam and adopt a cascade tax payment method. Those with less land are exempted from all taxes, and the more land they have, the more taxes they pay. ”

"Oh, no, General. Now that the world is chaotic and wars are continuous, Jiangnan must have enough troops to ensure that it is invincible. If you cut taxes now, what will you use to support the army? ”

Su Wei was anxious all of a sudden, if Jiangnan wants to be stable, he can't raise too many troops without money and food in his hands, and it's no wonder if there is no chaos.

Pei Shiju is also anxious, taxes cannot be reduced casually.

"General, it's really not appropriate to cut taxes now, Lord Su said it very clearly. If the general wants to reduce the burden on the people, he must wait for the world to be peaceful. ”

"Hehe, I know what you're worried about, the tax cut is not a bottomless tax cut, you have to master a degree.

First of all, taxes should ensure the normal operation of the government, and of course it is not possible to reduce or reduce taxes too much.

As for the money to raise the army, you don't have to worry, the next step, the army's finances need to find another way. Ladies and gentlemen, now the whole of Jiangnan has stabilized. If you look at the area north of the Yangtze River, there is war everywhere, which will inevitably affect production.

In other words, in addition to the land south of the Yangtze River, there will inevitably be a shortage of materials in the north, which is a great opportunity for us in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Su Wei and Pei Ju heard a little taste, could it be that the general wanted to fight Jiangbei's idea?

"General, do you mean to sell supplies from Jiangnan to Jiangbei in order to obtain enough funds to support the army?"

"Lord Su, the purpose of my tax reduction is to cheapen the people of Jiangnan, but I have no intention of letting the warlords in the Central Plains take advantage.

Let's put it this way, after the tax reduction in the land of Jiangnan, the price of daily necessities will inevitably decrease, and the living cost of the people in Jiangnan will also decrease, which is the purpose of my tax reduction.

In this way, there will inevitably be a price difference between Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and I certainly won't cheapen the warlords in Jiangbei.

Therefore, I will set up cards at various checkpoints of the Yangtze River to collect taxes, especially the Grand Canal, which is a major north-south passage, which is particularly important.

Let's call it customs clearance, all materials transported from Jiangnan to Jiangbei must be taxed, and all important strategic materials or shortage materials must also be subject to high customs duties, so that the money for our army will come! ”

A few people here finally understood, wonderful, it's really a good move.

Not only can the people of Jiangnan get benefits, but also can meet the needs of the army in the south of the Yangtze River, why not?

"Haha, the general is proficient in all kinds of literary and martial arts, and he admires him very much. The general's idea is very good, oh, customs clearance, great. It's just that how much tax is charged on what materials, this has to be studied carefully, haha. ”

The puzzle is revealed, and Su Weile can't find the north, so this method kills two birds with one stone.

"I'll give you an analogy about taxes. For example, tea is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are very few tea plants in the north, right?

Well, if you want to drink tea, you have to pay a high price to buy it, and this high price is to let the tax be raised.

If the north lacks something the most, our tax revenues will be raised by a large margin, and the wealth of the north will be continuously absorbed into the south. ”

"Yes, yes, this method is too good, it does not add a burden to the people, but also solves the supply of the army, killing two birds with one stone."

Pei Shiju also praised it and threw himself on the ground for Lu Chang's five-body projection.

"Guys, another digression. In the future, if your family wants to develop, don't work the land, that thing will no longer be the main direction of making money in the future, if you want to make money, you have to do business or engage in industry, this is the future development direction. ”

Lu Chang is a reminder to his subordinates, making a fortune by occupying land is already a thing of the past, don't make a mistake.

The clan is the object that Lu Chang wants to suppress, will he make the land worth again?

The answer is no, at least Lu Chang will make the expectation of land value lower. (To be continued.) )
