"What!" Yi was stunned for a moment, just now it was eighty percent of the tax, and now it has become sixty percent, even if it is reduced by two percent, this is also a big number, Jiangling is not a generation than Xiangyang in Jingzhou, where there are many fertile fields, suitable for farming, Jiangling originally had Huarong Road nearby, such a large swamp, leading to the scarcity of arable land, coupled with the topography of Jiangling, one of the consequences of his good defensive terrain is that the fertile land is even more lacking.

In the past, Gangneung's tax was only forty percent, and sometimes when there was a disaster year or something, it would directly reach two percent, or even no taxes were paid, and Xiangyang Mansion also allocated money and grain to subsidize Gangneung.

Sixty percent of the tax, although this year's harvest momentum is good, but this will still lead to resentment among the people, which is not good for the hearts of the people that Liu Bei has accumulated so hard. If Cao Cao relied on his absolute strength to make talents from all directions, Liu Mang relied on the name of the Holy King and his Yangzhou University Examination to pull talents.

Then our Liu Bei Liu big-eared children's shoes rely on fame, and without fame, Liu Bei is nothing.

Liu Bei, the lord of mercy, Liu Xuande, is dedicated to the people, this is the reason why the people support him, if he collects sixty percent of the taxes at this time, this good reputation will be ruined.

Without this good reputation, what will he do to fight Cao Cao and Liu Mang.

It is precisely because of this that Yi is in a hurry, didn't this lord Liu Bei self-destruct the city wall. "Uncle Ji, don't be impatient, why worry!" Yi is a eunuch and the emperor is not in a hurry, Liu Bei said with a smile to Yi Yuan. "Xuande Gong! You! “

Liu Bei hadn't opened his mouth yet, and an acquaintance brought by Liu Bei from Yuzhou on the side spoke, and this person was Liao Hua, "Mr. Yi, eighty percent of the taxes are set by our military advisors." My father-in-law doesn't have one. Even the lord of our family and the military master fought to exempt the people from paying 20% of the tax. Suffice it to see the mercy of our Lord! "This!" Liao Hua's words made the Yi nationality on the side stunned, originally the Yi nationality thought that it was to pay 20% of the tax, because Jiangling County has always paid 40% of the tax, although paying 20% may make Huang Jian unhappy, but it is still possible to fight for it. The tax of 20% is enough to make up for Liu Bei's efforts.

But what I didn't expect now is that our Xuande Gong actually wants to pay all the taxes to him, and pay forty percent of the taxes to a lot, which is a loss. Now it seems that not only is this not a loss, but it even curries favor with Huang Jie, a potential lord of Jingzhou. The most important thing is to make our reputation more and more popular among the people.

Huang Jie's delay in Gangneung's aid made Gangneung suffer from the war, so that the people already had a mustard in their hearts, and then they ignored Gangneung, which made the people of Gangneung angry.

Now that there is such an eighty percent tax, the resentment of the people in Jiangling is really boiling, and now our Liu Bei Tongshou will come out again to play the role of a savior. Twenty percent of the tax is exempted.

Liu Bei's children's shoes, playing the mass line for so many years. He knows the temper of the people, eighty percent of the tax is completely to the people to die, the people will inevitably rebel, anyway, they can't live, everyone simply rebels, but sixty percent of the tax, although not enough to eat, but at least there is no problem to live.

Although the common people have complaints, at least they will not rebel.

And who is it who has reached sixty percent of the tax to let them live, it is Xuande Gong, Huang Shot does not let the people live, so the people's hearts naturally go towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei paid the tax in full, so that Huang Shot was satisfied, and got more trust from Huang Shot, and he Liu Bei also satisfied his 20% tax supplement, and after paying 40%, there were still 20% under his hands, and the third was to get the hearts of the Jiangling generation.

Why not kill three birds with one stone?

Yi is not the kind of person who is completely idealistic, nor is he the kind of person who regards loyalty and righteousness as an absolute principle, like Guan Yu and Pang Shanmin. Although Yi Ji was a little disdainful in his heart, because Liu Bei's actions were not at all like what a benevolent person should do.

In the past, Yi also thought that this Xuande Gong was a righteous person, but today it seems that this is not the case, but so what, the winner is the king and the loser is the coward, his Yi nationality was originally born in a poor family, and he also realized the benefits of power, and also knew the hardships of the grassroots.

There is no justice in this world, the only thing that is only interests, if he helps Xuande Gong to conquer the world, then he can also let the people cultivate and recuperate, and the same can let the people live a peaceful life, which is also a great righteousness.

Not only did Yi Yuan not have a problem with Zhuge Liang because of this matter, but he became more and more firm in his thoughts, that is, Xuande Gong is a person who has achieved great things, because a person who can deceive everyone in the world, isn't this a skill? Even those who know Liu Bei's nature, so what.

Yi Ji was observing Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also observing Yi Ji, looking at Yi Ji's relieved expression, Liu Bei also nodded with satisfaction.

This Yi nationality is a talent, he Liu Bei still wants to use it more, if this Yi nationality is the kind of pedantic person, then Liu Bei has to get rid of the Yi nationality.

He can also nip the threat in the bud. "Xuande Gong is wise!" Yi Yuan said with a fist to Liu Bei over there. "It's just a small trick to carve insects!" Liu Bei is not modest, this is telling the truth, what is this compared to the previous disguise, he Liu Bei can deceive Lu Bu, can deceive Cao Cao, this is the ability, this is just a bunch of fools. "It's an honor to be able to get help from the machine!"

Just as the two of them were complimenting, a subordinate from outside suddenly rushed in. "Report, report to the lord! Yes The guard was about to speak, and when he saw the Yi on the side, he closed his mouth.

Yi looked at the person who came and knew that there should be something important to discuss, and said very interestingly, "If Xuande Gong has something important, he will retire first?" “

Liu Bei also wanted to let Yi retire, but he thought that he still wanted to accept Yi Yuan's heart, and the current Yi Yuan just looked at his own future, so he stayed in the group of the three peach brothers. It's still too early for the Iraqi to die. If there is a better development, this Iraq will inevitably leave.

Liu Bei's military is not as good as Cao Cao. His knowledge is not as good as Liu Mang's, but he has something that the two of them can't compare, that is, his grasp of people's hearts.

At this time, not only can you avoid the Iraqi nationality, but you even have to pull the Iraqi nationality into the discussion, otherwise the Iraqi nationality will inevitably have a feeling of rustiness, because you don't treat the Iraqi nationality as your own person.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled, and his face immediately changed: "If there is anything, just say it!" There are no outsiders here! ”

"This!" This personal guard can be regarded as a wonderful person who has been by Liu Bei's side for a long time, and the one who is close to the ink is black, and he suddenly understands when he listens to the words of the lord.

Nodding, "Return to my lord." Mr. Yi, there is news in Xiangyang, the Cai family and the Kuai family sent people to say that they want the Qing lord to go to the dinner! ”

"The Cai family?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, he Liu Bei really didn't have the slightest connection with the Kuai family and the Cai family, and even Liu Bei regarded the Cai family and the Kuai family as potential enemies.

Because Liu Bei wanted to take Jingzhou and replace Huang Jie, not only to deal with Huang Jie, but also to care about the opinions of the Cai family and the Kuai family over there. If the Cai family and the Kuai family were in the same spirit, he Liu Bei would really have no chance.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei has sometimes. also helped the Huang family offend some of the little scholars who had a relationship with the Cai family, in order to let the Huang family and the Cai family have a gap. Even he knew that after Huang Jie became the lord of Jingzhou, the right had already confused his mind, he no longer thought that the three families complemented each other, but wanted to monopolize Jingzhou, so that the natural relationship with the Cai family and the Kuai family was not very good, and he Liu Bei offended the Cai family and the Kuai family is standing in line, suing our Huang Shot Huang Dajunshi, we have nothing to do with the Cai family and the Kuai family, we are supporting you.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Jie is willing to give Jiangling to Liu Bei, because he is not at ease with the Cai family in Jingzhou, Jiangling is like chicken ribs in his hands, and it is a pity to abandon it tastelessly, so it is better to give it to Liu Bei, and bring a little surprise to himself.

Liu Bei didn't understand, he was stepping on the Cai family and the Kuai family to gain the trust of Huang Jie, why did the Cai family and the Kuai family want to go to the dinner party.

Could this be a feast? This was Liu Bei's first thought, but he laughed randomly, he Liu Bei was not qualified to let people set up the Hongmen banquet Cheng Dù, that was specially set up by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, for her Liu Bei's ancestor, Liu Bang, the king of Han.

Thinking of the King of Han, Liu Bei couldn't help but be jealous of Liu Mang again, how could Liu Mang's child be able to sit on several states and call the King of Han.

deviated, but in the end, Liu Bei still didn't understand why the Cai family and the Kuai family invited him.

"Lord, could it be that this Cai family and the Kuai family are afraid of us, and they are here to say hello?" Liao Hua on the side asked suspiciously.

These days, they have provoked a lot of small forces under the Cai family and the Kuai family, and even scolded the eldest son of a scholar clan under the command of the Cai family. The eldest son also threatened Liu Bei that the Cai family would help him avenge him. But Liu Bei didn't take it to heart. After that, the matter will be over, and the Cai family will not completely turn against Liu Bei because of a small scholar.

"Impossible!" Liu Bei vetoed, because although the Cai family and the Kuai family now do not have the power that they had when Liu Biao was alive, they are not to be underestimated, and Nanyang County is now completely in the hands of the Cai family and the Kuai family.

The Cai family and the Kuai family still have 30,000 elite Jingzhou sailors in their hands, which is also something that Liu Bei covets, plus it is not a problem for the Cai family and the Kuai family's private soldiers to get together 50,000 or 60,000, even Huang Jie is unwilling to fully make enemies with the Cai family and the Kuai family, let alone him Liu Bei.

If the Cai family and the Kuai family were afraid of themselves and said it, they wouldn't believe it.

"Xuande Gong, I don't know if I should say something or not!" Yi also spoke.

"Jibo?" Liu Bei also turned around and looked at the Yi nationality over there, "Uncle Ji, why do you need to see outside, if you have something to say, you can just say it!" “

Yi nodded, Liu Bei was still very satisfied with his value to Yi nationality.

"Xuande Gong, will this Cai family and Kuai family be because of our military master!" Yi said to Liu Bei.

"You mean?" Liu Bei is also a smart person, and he seems to understand something from Yi's words.

"Huh?" Although Liao Hua has some talent, he is not up to the level, and he doesn't understand what this Yi and Liu Bei are talking about.

But Liao Hua is not easy to question, not because Liao Hua is shy, but if this question is an ordinary idea, if it is confidential, then she Liao Hua is not too talkative.

But don't ask, Liao Hua is also uncomfortable, he has to feel like a lot of cat's paws in his heart.

Liu Bei also saw Liao Hua's actions, for Liao Hua, Liu Bei is actually very concerned, and it can even be said that now under Liu Bei's command, among the generals, the number one person is Guan Yu, because Guan Yu is not only strong in martial arts, but also has the strength of refining gods and martial artists, and this person also has the talent of a commander, as long as those demonic characters do not appear, basically our Guan Er Ye is a character who can take charge alone.

The second is Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's life and death were unknown before, Liu Bei didn't care, but now Zhang Fei is back, although he has changed his face, but he is still back, isn't it! The current Zhang Fei's martial arts value is stronger than that of Guan Yu, and he has actually reached the peak of God Refining. Liu Bei didn't understand what Yang was called Yin, but he knew that with this martial artist at the peak of God Refining, his Liu Bei's army could pierce into the enemy's body like a sharp sword.

This third person is Liao Hua. Liao Hua used to follow Liu Bi, the yellow turban thief in Yuzhou, and Liu Bei ran out of Liu Bi in order to curry favor with Zhang Xiu, so Liu Bi killed him, but he left Liao Hua, because this person was actually using foot soldiers to fight against the heavy armored cavalry.

Although this person's martial arts are not high, but also by the strength of a second-rate martial artist, although the commander is not strong, but there is no problem in commanding a battalion of soldiers and horses, especially after Chen Zhi died, the current Liao Hua is Liu Bei's personal guard, this person has plasticity, for Liao Hua, Liu Bei is like a teacher, and then teaches Liao Hua, Liu Bei can think of Liao Hua, the seed of the future, to shine for his own family.

Because Liao Hua is not very old.

So looking at the puzzled look on Liao Hua's face, our Liu Bei children's shoes are still very kind and willing to explain to Liao Hua.

This Liao Hua grows up, that is a big arm strength.

"Liao Hua, do you know who Jingzhou Thorn Shi is?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Jingzhou Thorn History?" The position of the history of the assassin was established by the Han court in the past, and now only in the hands of Cao Cao will have such a title, because he represents the ten orthodoxy, and the other states all call themselves state pastors, because the positions of the history of the assassin and the state pastor are very different.

"Is it Liu Biao?" Liao Hua asked suspiciously.

Liu Biao is called the history of the assassination, when the Han Dynasty has not yet collapsed, our Liu Biaotong shoes are the lord of Jingzhou, so they have been called.

"It's not!" Liu Bei shook his head, he looked out of the door, the previous Jingzhou Thorn History, surnamed Wang, Mingrui! (To be continued......)
