"What?! You raised troops to capture hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in our three cities, and now you are ashamed to say that you are here to persuade you to surrender! Is it true that our 200,000 troops in Yi'an City are muddy? After hearing Sun Ling's words, Long Yi stood up and said angrily.

"What this young general said, can it represent the meaning of the commander?" Regarding Long Yi's angry words, Sun Ling didn't say anything, but looked at Long Wu indifferently and asked.

"Long Yi, sit down!" Seeing Sun Ling asking, Long Wu frowned and scolded Long Yi who stood up.

"But, big brother... was scolded by Long Wu, and Long Yi wanted to open his mouth to say something.

"I'll let you sit down!" Seeing that Long Yi still wanted to refute, Long Wu stared at him with very stern eyes, and said in a heavy tone.

In Long Wu's stern eyes, Long Yi finally sat back stupidly, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

"When it comes to persuasion, Master Hou shouldn't think that if you talk nonsense, you can let me wait for surrender, right?" Seeing Long Yi sitting back, Long Wu looked at Sun Ling and asked.

For Long Wu, through his performance in the city, Sun Ling knew that the persuasion was already half successful. Next, it depends on the sincerity he shows, whether he can impress him, as long as he can impress him, this thing will be done.

Thinking of this, Sun Ling met Long Wu's eyes and said solemnly: "Of course, it is impossible to speak in vain, this persuasion, we have also brought sincerity." If the marshal is willing to lead the people to surrender, then all population taxes will be canceled in Qingzhou, and the city tax will be collected, and only according to the tax of one out of thirty, the field tax will be collected. And it's just a new tax, the business tax.

Business tax is only related to doing business, and ordinary people do not need to pay any taxes as long as they do not do business. Of course, if the people trade rice and grain in the city, they also have to collect a certain tax, and this commercial tax is one out of a hundred. In this way, does the marshal think the sincerity of persuasion is enough? ”

Sun Ling only talked about the benefits of the people, and did not mention anything to Long Wu about the benefits he would give if he returned. Because Sun Ling wanted to confirm one thing, to confirm whether Long Wu was the kind of person he thought in his heart. If so, then Sun Ling would rest assured that he would entrust that matter to him.

"What Master Hou said, but seriously?!" Without any hesitation, just as Sun Ling had just finished saying this, Long Wu suddenly stood up, looked at Sun Ling nervously and asked.

Although he didn't understand what Sun Ling said about the commercial tax, there was one thing that Long Wu understood, that is, if he was willing to surrender, Sun Ling would cancel Qingzhou's population tax and city tax.

What the abolition of the population tax represents, Long Wu could not be clearer. After being the commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban for a few years, he knows very well why those people joined the Yellow Turban, isn't it because the population taxes are too heavy and they can't survive?

"Don't worry, this kind of thing, how can I take it as a child's play? As long as the big marshal is willing to lead the 200,000 yellow turbans to surrender, the matter will take effect immediately. And in the future, Qingzhou will still be guarded by the marshal, just hang the banner of my Sun Ling. In Long Wu's nervous eyes, Sun Ling said with a smile on his face.

Let Long Wu continue to guard Qingzhou, this is what Sun Ling had when he came. However, the prerequisite is that you still have to be trustworthy. After the temptation just now, Sun Ling had obviously gotten the answer he wanted, and the matter was said casually.

To Sun Ling's surprise, after Long Wu heard his reply, he was first overjoyed, and then his face was a little hesitant, as if there was something difficult to decide.

"General Long Wu, but what are the difficulties? Just say it, if I can do it, I will never put it off! Seeing the embarrassed look on Long Wu's face, Sun Ling asked out loud.

Hearing Sun Ling's question, Long Wu first looked at Zhang Yan's mother and son, who had been standing behind Sun Ling, and then looked at Sun Ling firmly and asked, "Master Hou, I don't know what the relationship between Old Madam Zhang and Sihan and Master Hou is?" ”

Belch?... Hearing Long Wu's question, Sun Ling's mind was instantly filled with all kinds of question marks. Why did Long Wu ask Zhang Yan what was the relationship between his mother and son? Does this have anything to do with what he is embarrassed about?

"Sihan served under the Hou Ye's account, and my wife's life was also saved by the Hou Ye. Although Master Hou has been taking care of my wife, he doesn't want to admit it. But in the heart of the old woman, she believes that she is the slave of the Hou Ye. Boy of the Long family, what do you mean by this? Sun Ling was still in doubt, but the old lady Zhang who was standing behind her spoke.

Really! Although Long Wu had already guessed in his heart, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he heard Old Lady Zhang admit this matter in person at this moment.

"When it comes to guarding Qingzhou, Master Hou can let others do it. Long Wu also wants to serve under the Hou Ye's account, I wonder if the Hou Ye is willing to take him in? In the surprised expressions of several people in the hall, Long Wu bowed down and saluted Sun Ling, raised his head, and said very seriously.

What is the rhythm of this? The rhythm of confession? So do I accept it or not? But it's too sudden, isn't it?! Looking at Long Wu's slightly bowed body, Sun Ling thought a little messily.

"Long family boy, if you want to repay my Zhang family for the sake of ancestral training, you don't have to! My Zhang family helped your Long family back then, also because of the love between the two families, and I don't need you to repay it with this! Seeing Long Wu like this, Mrs. Zhang seemed to think of something, and said very unappreciatively.

After hearing Old Lady Zhang's words, Sun Ling couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Originally, I thought it was because of my overlord's anger, so I let Long Wu recognize the master. Unexpectedly, he did this because he wanted to repay the kindness of the Zhang family.

"Old Madam Zhang is serious! The kindness of the Zhang family, Long Wu will naturally find an opportunity to repay it again. Long Wu wanted to serve under the Hou Ye's account, there was another reason. When Long Wu heard Mrs. Zhang's words, he knew that she had misunderstood, and opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh? What is the reason? Long Wu's answer made Sun Ling happy in his heart, and he hurriedly asked.

"The ability of the people of the Zhang family, I Long Wu naturally know. can make the only sister-in-law of the Zhang family serve the Hou Ye with all his heart, I don't believe that it is just a life-saving grace, and I think that the Hou Ye must be extraordinary. And if today's form is unpredictable, and the princes from all over the country are rising, among which the Hou Ye is the most powerful, if Long Wu doesn't want to return to overseas seclusion and serve the Hou Ye, wouldn't it be a matter of course?! Speaking of this, Long Wu looked at Sun Ling with burning eyes.

"Hahaha! To be able to get the help of a wise and brave talent like General Long Wu, Sun Ling naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed! Long Wu's explanation made Sun Ling's eyes light up, this is not a simple fierce general, and his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people. Chang Ran let out a few laughs, Sun Ling stepped forward and lifted up Long Wu, who was bowing and saluting, and said with great satisfaction.

"Thanks to the lord for not giving up, Long Wu has seen the lord!" With Sun Ling's approval, Long Wu bowed to Sun Ling again, and this salute could be regarded as an official recognition of the lord.

Until Sun Ling took Long Wu and Zhang Yan's mother and son out to surrender, and the good news of Qingzhou's taxation later, he informed the Yellow Turban soldiers and those families in the city. Long Yi woke up from that series of shocks. Looking at this empty hall, Long Yi didn't know what kind of mood he was in now.

With Long Wu's cooperation, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city also easily accepted the surrender. With the surrender of Long Wu and the surrender of 200,000 yellow turbans in Yi'an City, this Qingzhou is decided!

Qingzhou was pacified, but the matter of taxation, after the transmission of those yellow turban families, suddenly made the people of the entire Qingzhou crazy. Some people in Qingzhou, after getting the news, thought of their relatives in other states, and even worked hard to spread the news.

All of a sudden, the people of Yanzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and even as far away as Yangzhou and Jingzhou set off a wave of migration.

When the princes who were busy fighting inside discovered this situation, they hurriedly set up heavy guards on the borders of Henan, Xu, and Qingdao to prevent the loss of people. However, despite their timely response, millions of people still left the states.

"Damn! Is Sun Ling crazy? Without population taxes, what will he do to rectify the internal seeds of Qingzhou and feed the army?! Jizhou, Yuan Shao, who had just fought with Gongsun Zhan, was sitting in the tent at this time, slapping the information in his hand on the table angrily, looking at the people in the tent with hatred, and roaring angrily.

"Lord, I heard that Sun Ling dared to do this because of the new commercial tax." Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao was furious about this matter, and hurriedly said out loud.

"What business tax? Can this tax support the entire state? Send someone for me to find out! Hearing Guo Tu say this, Yuan Shao also moved his mind and hurriedly ordered.

It is not only Yuan Shao who has suffered from the "looting" of the population, but also Yanzhou of Cao Ying, because it has just been invaded by the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and the people are panicking. As soon as they heard that Sun Ling controlled Qingzhou, as well as the tempting tax law, the people of Yanzhou rushed to Qingzhou like crazy. It can be said that Cao Ying's Yanzhou is definitely the state with the most heavy population loss.

Within a few days, nearly 300,000 people had migrated from Yanzhou to Qingzhou. There are also many business groups, after learning that Sun Ling has taken control of Qingzhou, they also took the entire business group to Qingzhou.

The people went to Qingzhou because there was not only Sun Ling there, but also an attractive tax law. The merchant group went to Qingzhou because there were basically no rampant robbers in Sun Ling's territory, and all the cities in Qingzhou had no income city tax, and only when they sold things, they would collect the "commercial tax" of one out of a hundred, which was the reason why those business groups were excited.

"Send someone to check for me, I want to know what Sun Ling's business tax is all about!" After Cao Ying learned about this, his first reaction was not that Sun Ling was crazy. With his understanding of Sun Ling, it is absolutely unprofitable to be early, and the commercial tax is definitely greasy. Thinking of this, Cao Ying couldn't care about feeling sorry for the lost population, and commanded everyone in the hall.

Just like the reactions of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, the princes from all over the country sent spies to Qingzhou, wanting to understand the wonders of commercial taxes.

When the princes were so angry by Sun Ling's actions. Qingzhou, Yi'an City, Sun Ling was sitting at the top of the hall, listening to Xun Yu reporting on the implementation of the new tax law in the past few days.

"My lord, the new tax law, after the past few days, the collection of taxes in various places has been slowly accepted by the people of Qingzhou. But there is a very serious problem, just from other states, there are nearly one million people who come to Qingzhou, and some are still stranded in Henan and Xuzhou, how to solve this problem? Thinking of the people who were waiting for him to settle, Xun Yu felt that his head was about to burst.

In fact, not only did Xun Yu not expect such a thing to happen, but Sun Ling decided to implement a new tax law in Qingzhou, and he didn't expect this to happen. However, since the people were willing to come, Sun Ling certainly would not be able to expel them. Only when there is enough population can we have the confidence to dominate the world. This truth, no one else needs to teach, Sun Ling still understands it.

"Wen Ruo, I have already sent someone back to find Changwen to help you. In the past few days, you have to work harder, Fengxiao and Gongda, and I will let them cooperate with you. Long Wu just said that he had something to do with me, so I'll go over and take a look first, and I'll leave these things to you. Hearing Xun Yu's words, Sun Ling pointed at Guo Jia and Xun Yu and said to him. Then in the stunned eyes of the three people in the hall, Sun Ling ran out as if he had fled.

Walking on the way to the school field in the city, Sun Ling couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the way Xun Yu and the others looked at him when he escaped just now. It's not that I don't care about things, but in the face of those political affairs, my head is bigger.
