Chapter 375: The First Decree
However, the next sentence Dong Min said instantly made them cry! Looking back, both of them wanted to strangle the initiator of this incident, Ah Fei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, that's how I found out. In this case....... alas, the reward given by the imperial court this time also included the promotion of a first-level official position and the award of the position of General Liupin. But now that this is the case, it seems that it will not work, so I will help you apply to the imperial court to withdraw this reward and exchange it for some financial things. ”
The lights were dim and wanted to cry without tears, so she gritted her teeth and nodded. If he didn't nod his head at this time, what else could he say? Could it be that what I said before was all played by Dong Min? He had no choice now.
Everyone around covered their mouths and smiled secretly, this scene was really funny, Ah Fei, this kid, was really damaged, and the lights were miserable this time.
Lin Ran is also a little embarrassed, Ah Fei is really a bit big this time, but I like this! Yuzhang County and Linchuan County both border Poyang County, and the two sides have been in constant conflict, and Lin Ran has always realized that the two alliances of Lamp Shan and Great Power Ships will definitely become his potential enemies in the future. Being able to use this to weaken the other party's strength, Lin Ran couldn't be happy.
Dong Min had a regretful expression on his face at this time, but his heart was actually very transparent, this guy actually didn't want to come to work here, because his roots in Yangzhou were not deep, so he made this excuse.
It just so happened that he took advantage of the loophole of his excuse to clean him up ruthlessly, kill the chickens and make an example, and let these people know who is the assassin in Yangzhou now.
The sword points to the world and sees it thoroughly, it seems that he and Dong Min are also a very cunning person, and the character of his brother Dong Zhuo is simply worlds apart.
No wonder the old people say that dragons give birth to nine sons, all of which are different.
In addition to Lin Ran, the rest of the others also received a very considerable number of rewards, including skill books, high-level equipment, and even Qing Lan was rewarded with a treasure-level weapon.
Of course, these things were much inferior to the high-level village upgrade blueprints that Lin Ran obtained. The people present were almost all the village chiefs of a mid-level village, so they naturally knew what was behind this high-level village upgrade blueprint.
After the rewards and rewards were read out, Dong Min immediately said: "By the way, this time I came to take office, and the imperial court also entrusted me with a task to reorganize Yangzhou's military.
As you know, in this war, Yangzhou's troops were almost lost, and now it is urgent to regroup. Although I came here this time with more than 20,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses, this is not at all, and I still have to recruit local warriors in Yangzhou to form an army.
This army will naturally require a lot of money. Since everyone has gathered today, I will also announce to you my first decree in Yangzhou, from now on, the monthly tax of all villages in Yangzhou will be increased from 5% to 15%, you have no opinion, right? ”
Although Dong Min's eyes were squinted, they were still sharp, keenly capturing the expressions on the faces of everyone present.
First of all, Lin Ran, with a natural expression, said indifferently: "There is no problem." ”
Everyone else laughed and said, "No problem." "We will definitely support Lord Thorn."
"Rebuilding the army is a great benefit for our state and for our people, of course, there is no problem."
Dong Min nodded, but he paid attention to it in his heart, these guys, all of them looked very happy on the surface, and they didn't even have a sense of resistance, this guy, all of them were human spirits.
Dong Min has also come into contact with a lot of villagers and players in Xiliang and Luoyang, and knows that these guys are all virtuous and unprofitable, and they are like ghosts in their hearts. Now smiling on the surface, in fact, I don't know how many times I have scolded myself in my heart.
But Dong Min doesn't care about these things, his goal is very clear, he only needs money and taxes, as for what these people think in their hearts, he doesn't care, and he doesn't have the heart to think about it, as long as they don't resist, just resist their own decrees on the surface.
When everything was said and done, the players took their leave. As soon as everyone left the Assassin's Mansion, their smiling faces immediately changed, and their faces were angry!
"Fifteen percent! This Dong Min is simply crazy! Where can we afford to pay such a high tax? ”
"Yes, the finances of the army village have been tight since the recent expansion of the army, but now the tax has increased by 10 percent all of a sudden, which simply does not allow us to live."
"With such high taxes, my village can't make ends meet. At that time, even if no one else invades, it will have to be dragged down. ”
For Dong Min's first decree in Yangzhou, all the people complained, but they didn't expect this harsh tax to come so quickly, which caught people off guard.
"I look at Dong Min's posture, and it seems that I also know that I won't stay in Yangzhou for long, so I want to use this way to loot as much property as possible in the shortest possible time." The sword pointed to the world and held the long sword in his hand and said.
"That's true, this tax is definitely not just for us, but also for the NPCs in Yangzhou. Such a high tax will definitely cause resistance and even resistance from those gate lords and clans in Yangzhou, Dong Min is formulating this policy now, obviously he didn't want to stay in Yangzhou for a long time from the beginning. Lin Ran nodded.
"The people of Dong Zhuo's family, all of them are wide and fat, but there is no good person." The sword pointed at the world and shook his head and left.
Lin Ran also rode back on his horse, and he still didn't pay too much attention to Dong Min's new policy...... The economic experts came and wrote off the accounts, and maybe they could get some relief money from Dong Min.
Now that he has the advanced village upgrade blueprints, he must hurry up and get back to Xiaobai Village.
Lin Ran galloped all the way, returned to Xiaobai Village, and came to the administrative hall.
There were already a lot of people gathered around, Ah Fei, Chu Tiankuo, Xue Min, Zhao Ying, Jiang Lao, and Jiu Jing...... Everyone was as excited as Lin Ran in their hearts, and everyone was imagining in their hearts, what would it be like when Xiaobai Village was upgraded from a middle-level village to a high-level village?
It's really exciting. After a few months of getting along, everyone present has a deeper emotion for Xiaobai Village, and every time they see the development and progress of Xiaobai Village, it is like seeing a baby grow up step by step and be strong under their own nursing.....
"Ding-dong, are you going to use the advanced village upgrade blueprint?" (To be continued.) )
