Chapter 213 Cotton

The county magistrate was entangled for a moment and said, "General, if you pay one out of ten taxes, will it be too much of a burden on the businessman?" ”

Li Yao asked rhetorically: "It turns out that when this place was ruled by the Yiguo, wasn't it ten taxes and one?" I don't think there is any discomfort in businessmen, you can rest assured that you can collect taxes, and all places will increase the tax collection of commercial taxes in the future! ”

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then I will raise the business tax when I go back!" ”

At this time, Li Yao said to Chen Chuang: "Brother, it is imperative to raise business taxes, I know that many chambers of commerce are opened by our big family, I hope you can understand, brother!" ”

Chen Chuang said indifferently: "What are you talking about, I don't have to worry about how much money my subordinates can make in business, I only know that if I have you as a brother, my money will not be spent!" ”

Li Yao saw that Chen Chuang said so directly, and said secretly: "It seems that Chen Chuang is not stupid at all!" ”

Then Li Yao laughed and said, "Yes, with me, are you still afraid that you won't have money to spend!" ”

"Come and drink, drink!" Chen Chuang raised his wine glass and Li Yao!

The banquet didn't end until midnight, and when Li Yao returned to the post station, he didn't want to disturb Yu Linlin and Lian'er's rest, but when he returned to the room, Yu Linlin and Lian'er were still waiting for him!

Li Yao asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" It's too late, we have to get up early tomorrow morning! ”

Yu Linlin whispered: "My husband didn't come back, I can't sleep!" ”

Li Yao's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Okay, aren't I coming back, let's go to sleep quickly, tomorrow's road will not be easy, don't think about sleeping in the carriage!" ”

Yu Linlin said 'um', slowly stood up, and said, "I'll serve my husband to change clothes!" ”

Li Yao waved his hand and said, "Farewell, go to sleep!" Then he took off his coat and fell asleep on the bed!

The dawn of winter was extremely late, and Li Yao slept for more than three hours before being called!

After washing up, I saw that the county officials in the county town and Chen Chuang were waiting outside, which made Li Yao very embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he was the last one to get up!

Li Yao said to Chen Chuang: "Brother, don't send it, I'll be back in more than a month." ”

Chen Chuang smiled: "Brother, come back early, I'm still waiting for you to unify Yiguo!" ”

Li Yao clenched his fists and said, "That's for sure, okay, I'll go first!" ”

Li Yao turned over and got into the carriage, and the guard regiment began to set off.

After Li Yao went back for the New Year, he would lead the 100,000 troops trained in Yi County to return, and then Li Yao would have more than 300,000 troops in Yiguo, and his power would be extremely powerful!

It's just that if you don't do it well this time, you will also encounter the ruthless revenge of the Liang Dynasty, so Li Yao still wants to return to China this time to ask for his father's help!

Otherwise, he would be a little powerless to withstand the forces of the Liang Dynasty and Yiguo alone!

The carriage walked very slowly, especially the journey from the three northern counties to Yi County, which took two or three days, and the road was very bumpy, so Li Yao did not recommend taking the carriage, so when he arrived at the mountain station, Li Yao left the carriage at the military station and changed it to horseback!

Although Yu Linlin is a woman, she is no stranger to horseback riding, so she readily agreed with Li Yao's idea and rode on the horse!

The road in the mountains, after the later rectification, can already be normal parallel to four people, so the speed of the march is very fast, although the winter is very cold, but everyone wears at least two or three sets of clothes, can temporarily resist the wind cold!

As soon as he entered the mountain range, Li Yao regretted it, it was really not a right choice to cross the mountain range in winter, so although everyone wore two or three clothes, they could still feel the cold, Li Yao turned over from the horse, let the guards lead the horses, walked, walked, it was a lot warmer!

Yu Linlin and Lian'er, two girls, were also walking beside Li Yao, Li Yao looked at Yu Linlin's frozen red face, and asked in a low voice, "How is it, is it a little cold!" ”

Yu Linlin exhaled a breath of heat and said, "It's cold on a horse, but it's not cold when you get off the horse and walk!" ”

Haha, Li Yao smiled: "That's good, now that this road has been widened, we just need to hurry up and go, we can pass through this mountain range tonight, we must not spend the night on the mountain at night, otherwise we will be frozen, can you stand it?" ”

Yu Linlin nodded affirmatively and said, "I can stand it!" "But Yu Linlin's mind is not at all in this cold weather now, and how to face that big family when she returns to Yi County!

As Yu Linlin's wife, everything in the family should be decided by herself, but her wife is the latest to get started! Even if she has Lian'er as her backing, Yu Linlin still has no bottom in her heart, after all, the identities of the other two are one of the Uighur princesses, and the other is the granddaughter of the craftsman king, and their identities are not lower than their own, although the identity of their main wife is big, but the status of their equal wives is not low, they are all women, and it is really not a simple matter to control the right to speak in this family!

Li Yao's shoes are made of mink, so it is not very cold, but the soldiers of the guard regiment are wearing cloth shoes, in the face of this situation, Li Yao is very entangled, he does not wear mink wool is already very good for the army, but if he does not wear mink shoes, he may really freeze his feet!

Fortunately, this place is not particularly northern, I really want to freeze the bad guys, but I can't do it in a few days, Li Yao only needs one day to reach Yi County, and it won't be so cold by then. It's just that winter clothes still have to be prepared as soon as possible, especially cotton, which hasn't been passed in yet, so Li Yao has to think, where is there cotton?

Li Yao thought for a long time, and suddenly thought: "There seems to be such a thing in the Western Regions, it seems that after going back, I will have to let Gu Yina contact his mother's family, Li Yao is going to buy some cotton, if possible, Li Yao can also buy some hops, and then you can drink cold beer!" ”

After a day's trek, Li Yao and the others came to Yi County, and many of the soldiers in the guard regiment came out of here, so they were still quite excited!

The current Gobi Desert is no longer the Gobi Desert, although there are no plants planted in winter, but you can still see the shadow of the fields, this year these fields can grow grain, and when the grain is down, these civilians can take root here, they may miss the Jin Kingdom at that time, but the perennial alien invasion is definitely not as good as the peaceful life here, Li Yao believes that when they see that there is enough food here, if there is no war, they will definitely stay here, with these hundreds of thousands of civilians, There is no need to worry about the safety of Yi County, although the relationship with Qi County is very good now, but it may not be necessary in a few years, with these hundreds of thousands of fresh troops, if Qi County really wants to take Yi County, these hundreds of thousands of people can be converted into soldiers in an instant, just with this number, Qi Country must also weigh it first, and consider whether it is worth it!
