Chapter 114: The Fall of Xingluocang

"Since September, the tax revenue of Jingzhao County has begun to increase significantly, from about 350,000 yuan in monthly taxes, to 700,000 yuan, and in December it has reached 1 million yuan."

Wei Jin's voice was raised, staring at Yang Yu with an excited expression.

The earth-shaking changes in Daxing City began with the establishment of the Disaster Relief Department by Yang Yu, the acting king, and it can be said that the sudden rise of Daxing City to the skyrocketing taxes were all created by Yang Yu.

The great achievements of Daxing City, of course, Wei Wensheng's people knew it in their hearts, but it was a different feeling to hear it come from the mouth of Wei Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

A few people present involuntarily straightened their waists, showing a proud look, Daxing City has risen again to surpass Luoyang, and today it has been recognized from the mouth of officials from Luoyang, which is really happy.

"But in the past four months, the tax paid by Daxing City has only been 200,000 yuan per month, which is only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan higher than the previous eight months." Wei Jin Dao.

When Yang Guang formulated the upper, middle and lower counties, he had already set a specific amount in accordance with the tax standards of each county, and in order to ensure that the tax was collected in full.

In the past, Daxingcheng's monthly tax payment hovered around 350,000 yuan, and the amount of tax paid was set at 180,000 yuan.

"Lord Wei is welcome, now that Daxing City is rich, he is willing to contribute more to the empire." Yan Juncheng said proudly.

The excess tax increase of 20,000 yuan is a great achievement in normal times.

"Daxing City's monthly tax revenue has reached one million, and only 20% of the tax has been paid, so what do other counties and counties think about paying more than half of the taxes?" Wei Jin asked rhetorically.

"I didn't increase taxes in Daxing City, nor did I increase taxes more, everything is the wise guidance of His Royal Highness the Acting King, and it is our own ability to collect more taxes." Yan Juncheng said proudly.

Yan Juncheng directly admitted Yang Yu's great contribution to Daxing City, and several other bigwigs had no objection and nodded in acquiescence.

"That's your own opinion, Yan Juncheng, when you get to Your Majesty, I hope Yan Shilang will still have such words." Wei Jin sneered.

"You!" Yan Juncheng was furious.

Now Daxingcheng is beautiful in the forest, and it is outstanding, and it has already been jealous of other officials, if it really goes to the emperor to fight a lawsuit, no one will help Daxingcheng speak, after all, none of those officials who are far away in Jiangdu are too rich.

"The two of you are angry!" The bone instrument got up to mediate.

"Didn't Wei Shangshu come to Daxing City to discuss this matter! I don't know what kind of charter Wei Dao Shangshu has, and he can come up with a proposal. ”

"According to the previous regulations, Daxingcheng also has to pay half of the taxes, first make up for the taxes owed from September to December, a total of one million yuan, and then pay half according to the total amount of taxes paid in the month." The Wezin lion opened his mouth.

"Impossible!" Yan Juncheng categorically denied it, and Yang Yu and the others looked at Wei Jin coldly.

Luoyang really wants to swallow the elephant, and all of a sudden it is like taking away half of Daxing City's monthly taxes.

Although Yang Yu has a huge fortune in the Imperial Bank, one million guan is no longer a number that excites him, but there are too many things that can be done with one million guan.

"The regulations for the tax payment from September to December have already been set in Daxingcheng, and some of them have been used up, and it is impossible to make up for them." Yan Juncheng was categorically opposed.

Yin Shishi and Qu Tutong also showed unswerving expressions, Daxing City's taxes have skyrocketed, and the military has also shared a lot of benefits, and it is absolutely impossible to spit out the benefits in their mouths.

The scene was at a stalemate.

"His Royal Highness! Think how Daxingcheng should be. Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Wei Wensheng suddenly spoke.

Brush!

Everyone's eyes focused on Yang Yu, who was bored playing with his fingers, and Wei Jin's eyes were also blazing, there was no family affection at this time.

Yang Yu's eyes flashed, and he glanced sideways at Wei Wensheng.

Looking around, Yang Yu ignored the wonderful expressions of the ministers and turned his head to look at Wei Jin

"It is impossible to make up last year's taxes! It is impossible to pay half of the taxes in the future! Yang Yu said without doubt.

The ministers of Daxing showed their joy, relieved, they were afraid that His Royal Highness the Acting King would have any accidents, or be deceived by Wei Jin**, if the acting king promised something, it would make Daxing City very passive.

Fortunately, the acting king was shrewd, although this was an obvious thing, the people of Daxing still quietly breathed a sigh of relief,

"His Royal Highness."

Wei Jin stood up and said in a loud voice, wanting to say something.

Squeak! The closed door suddenly opened, and Wang Xi's figure appeared behind the gate.

Wang Xi entered the palace and bowed.

"See His Royal Highness the Acting King, and see the Ministers."

"What's the matter!" Yang Yu asked.

Yang Yu was not angry, because this palace was deliberating, and the guards had already been instructed not to disturb. At this time, something big happened at the beginning.

Everyone else realized that something big was happening.

"Your Highness Qiqi, Luoyang is urgent!"

Luoyang? Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look at Wei Jin.

Wei Jin was also confused, he had been in Luoyang for a few days, and he had not received any news before.

"Bring it in."

Wang Xi stepped forward and handed over a secret letter.

Yang Yu took it and carefully checked the secret letter, and it was well sealed.

Gently flipped over the front of the secret letter and showed the ministers the intact seal, and then opened the secret letter.

Yang Yoo's meticulous actions made everyone's eyes light up, and the evaluation of Yang Yoo in their hearts couldn't help but be a little higher.

Pull out the letter from the secret letter and open it slowly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Yu's hands couldn't help shaking, and the letter almost slipped off.

Everyone's hearts are also tight, and their hearts say, something really happened.

Putting down the letter, Yang Yu said in an eerie tone.

"Three days ago, Li Mi captured Xingluocang."

Rumble!

This news was like thunder, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

Xingluocang, one of the four granaries of the Great Sui Dynasty, can be said to be the important place of the country, with 10 million deniers of grain in stock, with 2,000 elite soldiers guarded by Xingluocang, it actually fell into the hands of Li Mi.

The information of Li Mi, who has disappeared for several years, once again appeared on the desks of various nobles, the owner of Tao Li Zhang, and the second person in Wagang. The one who broke the undefeated golden body of the god of war Zhang Xutuo.

All these things have created Li Mi's great reputation, and now this person has captured Xingluocang.

It's a big deal.

The Luoyang catastrophe was inevitable. What's more serious is that Li Mi once again cut off the connection between Jiangdu and Daxing City and Luoyang City.

"Acting king, please think twice! Brothers are on the wall, outside the control of their affairs, now Luoyang is a difficult time, but also ask His Royal Highness the Acting King to help Luoyang and pacify Li Mi. ”

Wei Wensheng and the others were silent, Yang Yu and Yang Tong are brothers, for the sake of that throne, you fight for me, there is nothing wrong with you, and even the use of some means is allowed.

But now that the situation has changed, Li Mi, the fierce tiger, suddenly burst out, at this time, if Daxing Luoyang is still fighting, no one looks good in front of Yang Guang.
