"What? Abolish all population taxes? Historically, all dynasties have been based on population taxation, if the population tax is abolished, how should Qingzhou's internal affairs be maintained? This must not be done!" Hearing Sun Ling say that the population tax should be completely abolished, Rao Yi Xun Yu's skill in not being shocked was also so shocked that he jumped up from his seat, with a look of horror on his face, and said in opposition.

In Xun Yu's cognition, population taxation has always been the most important income since the dynasties. If this tax is abolished, what will Qingzhou rely on to feed? Although he didn't know what Sun Ling's commercial tax was, Xun Yu didn't believe it at all, relying only on the field tax, and what kind of commercial tax could support the entire Qingzhou.

Xun Yu's reaction was completely in Sun Ling's expectations. But Sun Ling believes that if he knew what commercial tax is, he would not have such a big reaction in the future, and maybe he would fully support this matter.

"Don't worry, listen to my explanation first. Do you know what is business tax? Sun Ling first calmed Xun Yu's emotions, then looked at them and asked.

"Please make it clear!" In addition to Xun Yu still in the mood of opposition, Guo Jia and Xun Yu heard Sun Ling's words and asked for advice.

"The so-called commercial tax refers to the tax income of various merchants. For example, if the commercial tax of Gaomi City is: 100 taxes and 1. Then the merchants who enter the city to sell their goods for the same amount of money are required to pay us a commercial tax of ten cents.

This tax can be applied to anyone who does business. Do you imagine how many people would flood into the city if the gate tax was abolished again? Large cities with dense populations are the most likely to generate transactions. As long as there is a transaction, we receive enough business tax. And without the pressure of population taxes, the people will be able to leave enough money.

After having money, of course, the people have to spend it, whether it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, or other jewelry and fabrics, these transactions are all commercial transactions, if this is calculated, does Wen Ruo still feel that the complete abolition of population taxes, only commercial taxes and land taxes, is not enough to support the entire Qingzhou? In the end, Sun Ling looked at Xun Yu, who was stunned by what he said, and asked rhetorically.

This is a brand-new tax concept, which Sun Ling is accustomed to. But for the three Xun Yu in the hall, the emergence of this concept has had a big impact on their cognition.

And if Sun Ling does this, it will make people think that he is elevating his status as a businessman. As can be seen from the name "Business Tax", Sun Ling has a completely different view of businessmen from them.

"My lord, if it is as you said, the tax revenue of this new tax law can support the internal affairs needs of the entire Qingzhou, but the businessman is very profitable, so doesn't it make the status of the businessman be promoted? I'm afraid ......" After Xun You listened to Sun Ling's words, he said again and again.

If you just use businessmen to pay business taxes, Xun You feels that there is nothing wrong with it. But the Xun family is a member of the scholar clan, Xun You naturally knows the Tao here, if people think that Sun Ling intends to improve the status of the merchants, I am afraid that those scholars will complain.

"Snort...... Isn't it just a clear hierarchy? Be honest and rest assured, I will neither elevate anyone's status nor go out of my way to belittle anyone. Advocating a commercial tax is nothing more than a matter of mutual benefit. Merchants bring us taxes, and they themselves benefit from prosperous commerce. No one owes anyone for this, so I won't go out of my way to elevate their status. For Xun You's desire to say something, Sun Ling naturally wanted to get what he wanted to say later, and sneered meaningfully.

Seeing that Sun Ling directly broke the Dao here, Xun You couldn't help but blush, obviously he also heard the ridicule in it.

"How? Does Wen Ruo think this method is feasible? When it came to business, Sun Ling looked at Xun Yu with a straight face and asked.

"Does the lord want to use this to lure down the yellow scarf, or does he want to use the same tax plan in Yu and Xu?" Regarding Sun Ling's question, Xun Yu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Attracting yellow scarves is just an opportunity for this method to appear. I would like to fully implement this law in Qingzhou first, and if it is successful, Yu and Xu will also implement such a tax law. In the future, all the places under my rule will use such tax laws! Without beating around the bush at all, Sun Ling said solemnly in response to Xun Yu's rhetorical question.

After getting Sun Ling's answer, Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this matter is well thought out, Sun Ling has thought it through. If there is no effect, if such a tax law is also implemented in Yu and Xu Prefectures, Xun Yu will definitely oppose it, and if it is only implemented in Qingzhou first, it is completely within the scope of his acceptance. And Xun Yu also wants to see if this commercial tax will be as Sun Ling said, and only one tax can support the entire Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu opened his mouth and said, "This method can be tried!" It's just that if you want to lure down the 200,000 yellow turbans, you must send someone to talk to their commander in detail, who does the lord plan to send to this matter? ”

Although Xun Yu agreed with Sun Ling's trial of the new tax law in Qingzhou, even if this tax is tempting enough for the yellow scarf. The premise is that someone still needs to convince the commander of the 200,000 yellow turbans, which is the purpose of this tax change.

"What's so embarrassing about that? I will take Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to see the commander of the yellow turbans, if I meet the commanders who think about the yellow turbans under him, I think this matter will be resolved safely. If not, we will slaughter him, and then the army will press in, throwing out the conditions of luring him to surrender, and I think most of the yellow turbans will be moved. Regarding the candidate for Xun Yu's consideration, Sun Ling didn't think about it, so he said.

"No! I will never agree to this! I'd rather be on the safe side, directly press in with a large army, and lure me to surrender, rather than let the lord do such a dangerous thing again. Hearing that Sun Ling wanted to do this kind of lonely and dangerous thing again, Xun Yu objected loudly.

Previously, because of the Gaomi battle, Sun Ling faced an army of 40,000 alone, and Xun Yu originally thought that when he went back this time, he would join a few friends to advise him. Unexpectedly, Sun Ling intensified this time, and wanted to enter the 200,000 Yellow Turban camp with only two of them, and Xun Yu at this time already showed some signs of being angry at Sun Ling.

Seeing Xun Yu's reaction so big, Sun Ling couldn't help but feel a little weak. Xun Yu has always been a gentle and elegant image, it is difficult to see him lose his temper so much, it seems that this time he wants to take Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the two of them into the Yellow Turban base camp to lure them down, it is impossible.

"If the lord wants to go to see the Yellow Turban Commander, you can bring me with you!" Just when Sun Ling wanted to give up and let Xun Yu choose the right person again, a voice came from outside the hall.

When the words came, I saw Zhang Yan walking in from outside the hall, and behind him was an old lady with white temples but a red face, this old lady turned out to be Mrs. Zhang.

"Sihan, aren't you in Yuzhou to sit in charge of the intelligence work of the Shadow Secret Guard? How did you come to Qingzhou? And why did Mrs. Zhang come with her? Seeing the mother and son of the Zhang family coming hand in hand, Sun Ling asked Zhang Yan very suspiciously.

"Master Hou, I heard Sihan say that this Qingzhou Yellow Turban Commander, Long Wu, is suspected of being the heir of the Long family, so I specially came with him to verify." Without waiting for Zhang Yan to reply, Mrs. Zhang spoke up first.

Hearing the old lady's words, the look on Sun Ling's face was also slightly stunned. Qingzhou Yellow Turban Commander, Long Wu. This person, Sun Ling heard Zhang Rong, the yellow turban general of Anqiu, say. But what is the matter with the descendants of the Long family? Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked at Zhang Yan with an inquiring look.

"Lord, I suspect that the Yellow Turban Commander Long Wu is the heir of the Long family who lives in seclusion overseas. This time, the lord went to lure me down, and he could take me and my mother together. The Long family has a lot of connections with my Zhang family, if it is really the descendant of the Long family, I think it will give my Zhang family some face. Seeing Sun Ling's inquiring look, Zhang Yan explained aloud.

it, it's really another village! Sun Ling, who was about to give up this trip, was overjoyed when he heard what Zhang Yan said, and then looked at Xun Yu and said: "If you look at it, Si Han said so, and with Mrs. Zhang accompanying him, it should not be dangerous to come to this trip." ”

"General Zhang is also not sure that Long Wu is the heir of the Long family, right? If this is the case, there is still a certain danger for the lord to go, and I still don't support the lord to risk himself! Sun Ling's words made Xun Yu hesitate slightly, but after thinking about it, he still objected.

"Wen Ruojun, please rest assured, even if Long Wu is not the heir of the Long family, there is an old woman, even if he has an army of 200,000, the old woman will definitely be able to ensure that the Hou Ye is worry-free!" Just when Sun Ling heard Xun Yu's words and secretly complained in his heart, Mrs. Zhang assured loudly.

Ha? Hearing Old Lady Zhang's domineering assurance, Sun Ling couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. Sure enough, the master is different, when talking about the 200,000 army, it seems to be talking about a cat and a dog, and I don't realize the feeling of Xun Yu and the other three small bodies.

"This ......" Hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, Xun Yu couldn't say anything to deal with for a while. After all, what kind of master is the old lady, Xun Yu has seen Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yan, and the three of them go together, and they are all tragically abused, so he is naturally clear in his heart.

"That's it! If Wen is not at ease, he can let Dian Wei and Zhao Yun lead the Badao Battalion to wait outside Yi'an City, which can not only achieve a deterrent effect on those yellow turbans, but also have a response effect if we are really in danger. Seeing that Xun Yu had nothing to say, Sun Ling first confirmed the matter, and then made these arrangements, so that Xun Yu could feel at ease.

"Well, then, let the lord go. Two, the safety of the lord will be left to you! Sure enough, seeing Sun Ling arranged it like this, Xun Yu was also a little relieved in his heart, first compromised on this matter, and then bowed to Zhang Yan's mother and son.

"The military advisor can rest assured that the master is safe and sound!" Zhang Yan first returned the salute to Xun Yu, and then said with a straight face.

With Mrs. Zhang coming forward, this matter was settled. Sun Ling took Zhang Yan's mother and son into the city alone to meet Long Wu, who was suspected to be the heir of the Long family. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led 10,000 soldiers of the Badao Battalion to accompany them to Yi'an and waited outside the city.

And Xun Yu and the three of them were because of the garrisons in Gaomi City, cooperating with Xu Huang and the remaining soldiers of the Badao Battalion to stay and sit in Gaomi City.

In the worried mood of Xun Yu and the others, the 10,000 soldiers of the Badao Battalion followed closely with the five horsemen in front of them, rushing towards Yi'an City!
