"I am Qingzhou Mu, Zhendong General Li Yang!" Li Yang introduced himself indifferently.

Xu Shu stood up suddenly, and Xu's mother was also stunned there with a plate of dishes.

Li Yang smiled, slowly walked to Xu's mother's side, took the dish from Xu's mother's hand, and pulled the old man to the table.

"Auntie, sit down! Enough is enough. ”

Li Yang's voice seemed to wake Xu Shu up, he quickly recovered his indifference, and then bowed, "Meet General Li." ”

Stretched out his hand to stop Xu Mu, who was also about to salute, and then waved his hand at Xu Shu.

"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be like this, now that I'm outside, just call me Brother Li."

"General Li ......" was glared at by Li Yang, Xu Shu could only swallow his words, "Li, Brother Li, please sit down." ”

"Haha, okay, I want to try my aunt's handiwork." Li Yang said with a smile: "After eating, we are talking about how to do it in detail." ”

"Good!" Xu Shu nodded.

Li Yang directly identified himself, the purpose was clear to even Xu's mother, Li Yang proposed to talk after dinner, which was to give Xu Shu a time to think.

Li Yang's current strength can be said to be at the top of all the princes, and now that he has come to the door in person, it is enough to show his sincerity.

Now it's just up to Xu Shu's own thoughts.

In the next meal, Li Yang ate very deliciously, and at the same time, he also chatted with Xu's mother about the situation of the people in Tianyun, and the two of them did not disturb Xu Shu during this period.

With the assistance of Li Yang and Xu Shu, after Xu's mother cleaned up the tableware, she silently walked to the inner room.

There were only Li Yang and Xu Shu left at the table, and the conversation naturally began.

"Brother Li is now full of talents, I'm afraid there is no shortage of me!"

"There is no shortage of talent." Li Yang smiled: "And with the expansion of the territory, I don't have enough people!" ”

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he stared at Li Yang, "Brother Li's talents, managing Qingxu, and even adding Yanzhou and Yuzhou are no problem!" ”

"It's barely okay to add Yuzhou, but Yanzhou is a little difficult." Li Yang shook his head with a smile, and then looked arrogant, "Not to mention the entire big man." ”

Xu Shu's eyes widened for a moment, then slowly regained his composure, and then said to Li Yang: "Brother Li is not afraid that I will spread the word?" ”

"What evidence do you have?" Li Yang picked up the water bowl in front of him and took a sip gently, "What's more, I believe that Yuan Zhi is not this kind of person." ”

"Besides, if it's stormy today, even if there is no me, there are Yuan and Cao, then why not me?"

"Haha!" Xu Shu changed his previous silence and laughed loudly in front of Li Yang for the first time, "The general is really proud. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of water in front of him, "Come, I'll bring wine with water and toast the general." ”

"Good!" Li Yang touched it, and then drank it all, he smacked his lips and said, "It's a pity that there is no Tianyun wine, it's not happy enough!" ”

Xu Shu slowly put down the water bowl and looked sideways at Li Yang, "Brother Li, I heard that the people of Qingzhou are now singing and dancing, and they are not left behind, but it is true." ”

Li Yang was secretly happy in his heart, Xu Shu was completely let go.

"You ask me? Then I can't belittle my territory! He glanced at Xu Shu, "If you want to be sure, why don't you go and see for yourself?" ”

Then Li Yang pondered again, and then said: "Well~, this place is a little far away from Qingzhou, you can also go to Xuzhou to have a look, it should be almost the same." ”

"Oh~, these months?"

Li Yang knew what he was referring to, and nodded affirmatively.

"How?"

"The people exchanged their work and grain for silver, and their lives were naturally rich." Li Yang said slowly, "Coupled with the incorruptibility and the use of force to supplement it, the speed is naturally not slow." ”

Xu Shu was puzzled, "What is the tax?" ”

"Twenty taxes one!"

Now that the war is chaotic, the taxes collected by the princes are basically one in ten taxes, and even more ruthless.

"Is there enough food and grass?" Xu Shu frowned.

"The people collect grain, 20 taxes and 1, and the remaining half is taken and purchased by the government at an average price lower than the market price." Li Yang said with a smile: "If there is a shortage, the government will sell it to the people at a price lower than half of the market, and similarly, if there is a surplus, the government will continue to buy it at a price higher than half of the market." ”

Li Yang took another sip of water, and then continued: "Most of the fertile land in Qingxu Prefecture is under the control of the government, and then the people are hired to farm, and they are paid for their efforts, and the people can help after they are busy with their own land. This part of the land revenue grain and grass is all under the control of the government, so the grain and grass are quite sufficient. ”

In fact, there is still a part of Li Yang who did not say that Tianyun has many bonuses for grain and grass production, which is also the main reason why Qingzhou can sell grain and grass.

Among all the princes, Li Yang can do it, because most of those princes are from families, and they naturally put the family first.

Therefore, their fertile land is basically in the hands of the family, although the government has a lot of food, but the people are miserable.

Although Qingxu now seems to receive a small proportion of grain, in fact, compared with those great princes, there is not a lot of grain harvested in a year.

First, Li Yang collects little taxes, and after paying all the things that should be paid, the rest is his own, and the people naturally have enough energy to do it.

The second is that the official field is paid according to the amount of work, and the more you work, the better it is, and the more money you make.

Often, the people are trying to finish their own work on the ground, and then go to Shangguantian to help, the more money the people have in their pockets, the efficiency of the work is greatly improved, and the output will naturally be higher.

Xu Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was already from a poor family, and he was also quite concerned about the suffering of the people.

Judging from the fact that he followed Liu Bei, he also chose to love the people, benevolence and righteousness, and Li Yang has always shown this kind of image.

Then Xu Shu fell into deep thought, Li Yang didn't bother him, and after a long time, Xu Shu raised his head and asked with a serious face.

"Brother Li's second brother, but wait."

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said in his heart: "Even this NPC has already guessed the identity of the ovary!" ’

"That's right!" In the end, he nodded at Xu Shu, "How do you know?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head, "It's not me, someone told me." ”

"Who?"

"Two little children, study with me." Xu Shu smiled.

Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan? ”

"How did Brother Li know!" Xu Shu was stunned.

"That's not right!" Li Yang hesitated, "They are all teenagers now?" ”

"A twelve, a fourteen!" Xu Shu replied mechanically.

"Can you pull them to us together, I'll just take you back to Tianyun together." Li Yang still said excitedly.

"I'm afraid not, although the two of them are young, they are very assertive, if they don't have this idea, then they can't ask for it."

Xu Shu replied in a deep voice, and then reacted, Li Yang seemed to have regarded himself as his own, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Li, forgive me, I still need to think carefully about this matter."

"That's as it should be!" Li Yang didn't look disappointed, but nodded, "Your two junior brothers, can you introduce me?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Li~"

Li Yang knew that if he asked again, he was afraid that it would cause Xu Shu to be bored.

"Alright! I know. Li Yang shook his head, it seemed that he had to figure it out slowly, and when Xu Shu agreed, he would ask him again.

"You should finally come back once, I won't bother you tomorrow, I will stay at Changsha for two days, and I will come back before leaving."

"General Li can rest assured, and he will definitely give a clear answer when the time comes." Xu Shu stood up and said to Li Yang.

"Good!" Li Yang slapped his thigh and stood up, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll talk about it the day after tomorrow." ”

After that, Li Yang patted his ass and left Xu Shu's house.

Three heads
