Chapter 548: Taxation (3600 Plus)
"Poof!"
Xie Hui retreated into the cavalry phalanx, unable to bear it any longer, and a mouthful of blood mist sprayed into the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You...... How dare you? No...... Not afraid ......"
His eyes were on fire, but he still struggled to ask.
"Aren't you afraid of chaos in Shudi?"
Fang Ming said: "I might as well tell you one more thing, when the Ba League and the Sichuan Gang attacked Duzun Fort, my Song family sailor also entered Shu under the guidance of these two major forces to exterminate your Duzun Fort forces!" ”
"You...... Very good, Qinghui ......"
The last glimmer of light in Xie Hui's eyes dissipated, and the corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"Alas...... I reminded you thirty years ago......"
Fang Ming looked at Xie Hui's corpse, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Fort ...... The lord of the castle ......"
The cavalry was in chaos, some fled, and more rushed up, wanting to avenge Xie Hui.
"Hey, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the light of fireflies, dare to compete with Haoyue?"
Fang Ming's face turned cold, and the killing machine suddenly appeared!
……
Inside the Exclusive Fort.
In the bloodstained hall, there were five people standing respectfully, Fan Zhuo, the king of guns, Feng Zhen, the monkey king of the Ba League, Mei Ji Sina, Luo Feng, and the wind general Chuan Mouxun were among them.
"King Qiqi, the Duzun Fort has been broken, and all the members of the Xie family have been arrested except for Xie Hui, including Xie Wenlong and Xie Bao...... A total of 987 people, how to deal with it? ”
These are still core clansmen, if you even count those outside the five suits, then at least thousands, or even tens of thousands.
The Xie family is a small wealthy family, but because of a Xie Hui, it swelled to this point, which made Fang Ming quite embarrassed.
"Xie Wenlong?"
Fang Ming smiled.
In the original work, this person should be Song Yuhua's husband and son-in-law, but in this life, he has a strong control over Bashu, and he no longer has to sacrifice his daughter to engage in political marriage, so this son of Xie Hui is just an ordinary character.
"Adult men, all of them are reduced to hard labor! As for the female dependents? I have a little affection for Xie Hui, and I should support ......."
Of course, this is really just a spectacle.
Fan Zhuo and the others knew that the king of Zhennan was very dissatisfied with Xie Hui's betrayal, and since he had already killed Xie Hui ruthlessly, the other Xie family men would definitely not let it go.
The so-called hard labor, after a few years, I don't know how many will survive.
Moreover, Xie Wenlong's lineage is probably going to 'die violently' in two days.
"Ahem......"
Fan Zhuo coughed a few more times unconsciously, and a trace of blue appeared on his face.
"Huh?"
Fang Ming frowned, Fan Zhuo automatically stepped out of the queue and saluted: "When my subordinates were besieging Duzun Fort, they were assassinated by the hidden masters of the Demon Gate...... to survive! ”
Although he said it lightly, the situation at that time was extremely dangerous at a glance.
"Fan Gang Master works hard, I will personally heal your injuries later......"
For his subordinates, Fang Ming was still pleasant: "Thanks to you this time, Song can assure you here that the conditions agreed before will remain the same...... Fan Gang Leader only cares about his injuries, and watch someone Song drive the Demon Gate's Charm and Soul out of Bashu and avenge you! ”
Since Zhu Yuyan and the others dared to ambush him, now that the situation has been reversed by him, don't blame him for cleaning up a demon sect master and chasing him all the way out of Bashu.
……
The thirteenth year of the great cause, winter.
Although Yang Guang is dead, there is no mixed lord in the world, and there is no unified era name, so he still remembers it with a great cause.
The Song family entered Shu, and immediately occupied the land of Bashu, coercing Hanzhong, and the Lingnan Song family occupied Shu, Jingzhou, and Lingnan from then on, and the power was even greater than that of the ancient Shu Kingdom in its heyday, and the world was shaken.
Now that the matter of Shu Di is over, Fang Ming doesn't have much to think about staying for a long time.
During this period, he took the Sichuan Gang, Ba Meng and other younger brothers, as well as the generals and soldiers of the Song family, ploughed Shu again, and after destroying several devil dens, he found that Zhu Yuyan and other demons had already fled, so they also dispersed and began to stabilize the local people's livelihood.
Although there is also a Shi Qingxuan, who should also be in the secluded forest of Shudi, Fang Ming has even heard Bixiuxin's songs, and he is too lazy to see this niece again, and he will return to Xiangyang after Shu settles down.
"Did anyone catch it?"
As soon as he saw Song Zhi, Fang Ming asked this question.
This time, he hid and leaked, although it was not a crime of war, but someone inside must have leaked information, and this inner ghost is none other than the Xiang family.
"As soon as I received the report from my eldest brother Feigeon, I had already arranged people, and the Xiang family was really transferred in the dark at this time, and I caught them all, Xianggui, Xiangyushan and his son were all arrested, and countless family properties were copied out...... It's a pity that some of them are still in the field, and it is difficult to recover ......"
The Xiang family has done a lot of injustice, but the wealth accumulated is really considerable, and even Song Zhi, the head of the Song family, is moved.
"Very good, I have been dissatisfied with the father and son for a long time, but because they opened the door last time to dedicate the city, they can't move lightly, but now that they have obtained the stolen goods, they will be punished and executed in a public trial!"
Fang Ming, who had long known the white-eyed wolf attributes of the father and son, of course would not be polite, and directly pronounced the next fate of the Xiang family: "The Xiang family, all the men are executed, and the women are demoted to prostitutes!" Haven't they always been very fond of human trafficking? It's time for retribution! ”
"What the eldest brother said is very true, the people of the Xiang family are very resentful, killing him at this time is beneficial to the people!"
Song Zhi looked at it from another angle.
"And ...... How are Kou Zhong and the Young Marshal Army developing? ”
Fang Ming asked another question.
As soon as he said this, Song Zhi's expression was a little strange: "These things were also said on the information sent to Shu before, but they didn't go into details, the younger brother heard it at the beginning, and he felt very unbelievable, but he didn't expect Kou Xu and the two to join forces, and they could really assassinate Lin Shihong, the eldest brother has a good eye, and the younger brother admires it!" ”
"As soon as Lin Shihong dies, the rebellious army will inevitably be helpless, where is Shidao now?"
In the original book, every time Ssangyong fights life and death, in the end, someone else comes to pick up the bargain.
Fang Ming used to be very unhappy, but now that it was his turn, he felt quite good, after all, the young marshal army was too far apart, and he didn't have the strength and appetite to swallow Lin Shihong's inheritance, but the Song family was different.
He had already prepared, ordered Song Shidao 50,000 troops to be ready to go, once he heard the news of Lin Shihong's death, he immediately waved his army to the east, before all the way to the good news, has taken Jiujiang County, Yuzhang County, is besieging Poyang County.
"According to the latest military report, the Poyang garrison surrendered, and the division suffered little loss, but the original 30,000 Chu troops have been captured......"
Song Zhi said good news.
"And after Kou Zhong assassinated Lin Shihong, I formed an alliance with him according to my brother's instructions to fund the young marshal army, which developed very quickly at this time, and somehow, the young marshal army actually got the help of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, and the momentum was great, and it was rumored that Du Fuwei even accepted Kou Zhong as his righteous son, and intended to pass on the inheritance...... Now that the young marshal's army has joined forces with the Jianghuai army, and is fighting fiercely with the Jiangdu Li Zitong and Shen Faxing's army, Kou Zhong has also shown amazing military talent and has the upper hand! ”
Speaking of this, Song Zhi's face turned gloomy again.
After all, what the Song family needed was an ally, not an opponent.
The growth rate of the young marshal's army is too terrifying, and one day it will become the great enemy of the Song family sweeping the south.
"I know what you mean, Brother Zhi, but now instead of worrying about Kou Zhong's ally, it's better to worry about the Demon Gate!"
Fang Ming said: "In this battle of Bashu, the Yin Sect has completely broken with us, and the defenses around you, Song Lu, and Shi Dao must be strengthened, just in case!" ”
"This brother will take care of it!"
Song Zhi's face flushed with excitement: "At this time, Bashu is down, we have accounted for one-third of the world, and we will sweep the south in the future, there is no problem, as long as we fight steadily, we are fifty percent sure of winning the whole world, congratulations to the eldest brother, the Han Dynasty is prosperous......"
"I'm not as optimistic as you ......"
Fang Ming sighed: "The reason why we were able to go down to Jingzhou first and then to Shu, but the accumulation of the past thirty years is unsustainable until now...... What's more, it seems to me that the real war has not yet begun! ”
When Song Zhi heard this, his face became solemn, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”
He involuntarily pointed to the north.
"Not bad! I killed Xie Hui this time, and it can be said that I have completely broken with Cihang Jingzhai and other martial arts Baidao! ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Fang Ming's mouth: "And they will definitely not let the Han people revivenation, the next suppression will inevitably surge, and they will not hesitate to join forces with the Demon Gate!" ”
If it is true that the power is discussed, the current Song family is not afraid of anyone.
It is Li Yuan and Li Shimin, in Fang Ming's opinion, it is just like killing a dog!
After all, he has no cheekiness, and he has no scruples, if he really wants to be ruthless, to be an assassin killer, even if Ning Daoqi is close to protect every day, it is useless!
Fang Ming has never regarded Li Shimin's father and son as opponents.
His real goal is the Northern Hu Alliance, even the Hu Sect hidden behind it, and even the thousands of believers in the world, as well as faith!
This is also the key to the battle between the north and the south.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" In terms of grand strategy, even Song Zhi had to admit that Fang Ming was far away.
"You don't have to do anything militarily, just support Kou Zhong's battle for Jiangnan!"
Fang Ming said: "Although we have a vast territory now, we still have a long way to go to really govern it and turn it into our own strength, but fortunately, in the past 30 years, administrative officials have trained a lot, and now they are all sent down to implement the new tax system and live with the people!" ”
Historically, the enforcement of taxation has been the foundation of the existence of a political regime.
If you can't even collect taxes, you can almost be declared dead.
At this time, the world was in turmoil, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the original policy naturally did not work, so Fang Ming also imitated the rent system of the Tang Dynasty and carried out a tax reform.
On the one hand, this is the embodiment of strict political authority, and on the other hand, it is through tax collection, so that the people of Jingzhou and Shu know who is their real master!
The people are ignorant, but the object of paying taxes has changed, and they naturally know that it is a real change of dynasty.
As long as the tax system is really implemented, it will not take a few years to completely digest the two places, and then it will be the foundation of the real emperor, even if the north is unified, it will be able to be peaceful for a while. (To be continued.) )
