Chapter 167: The Situation in Southern Xinjiang Eleven
After Jiang Wei, the commander of the legion at the time, led the Dawning Legion to regain Yezhongxing, the residents of the entire planet cheered, their eyes were full of tears of excitement, looking at the army that was rushing in, the girls danced the baba dance, and the enthusiastic residents took out the boiled eggs and corn tortillas at home and stuffed them into the arms of the soldiers, watching the soldiers set up tents on the streets, and the residents pulled them towards their homes one by one, but they were politely rejected by the soldiers of the Han and Tang Empires, looking at such a disciplined army, Wang Laohan, who was more than 120 years old, had two lines of old tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "I have lived for 120 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a strictly disciplined army. β

When Jiang Wei's hovercar drove into the only city above Ye Zhongxing, Ye Zhong City, there was no one on the bare street, if it weren't for Ding Hou Sue SΓΉ he Karl Boton only took the soldiers, he would have thought that this guy had taken all the residents away.
"Where's this man?"
"Back to the corps commander, it's all cats at home."
Ding Hou quickly jumped out and showed Jiang Wei the energy detector in his hand. Seeing those little red dots on the screen, he was also slightly relieved, it seemed that everyone was just waiting.
"Legion Commander, most of the people in this city are Binglu Fei immigrants, you see?"
Jordok asked quietly.
"It has nothing to do with them, the war has nothing to do with civilians, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately, but we can't let go of those who have committed great crimes and done all the evil things. Just maintain normal order in the past few days, and I'll think of a way to do it. β
"Yes."
"Ding Hou, you are responsible for calming the hearts of the people and paying attention to the direction of the wind in the lower city."
"Yes."
Seeing this dilapidated city, he sighed slightly, talking about the development environment, I am afraid that this place is a few points stronger than the asteroid of Huayang Star, but it was made like this by a group of robbers, and the whole city planning is not reasonable at all, the chaotic wires, the pools of water on the road, and the mountains of garbage heaps show the incompetence and dereliction of duty of the city managers at that time.
"Zhao Long, go to the Harun clan and have a look."
When his convoy slowly flew over the Harlan tribe, Jiang Wei was suddenly speechless, the tattered "high-rise buildings" just now made him feel that the development here was backward enough, but he didn't expect this place to be even poorer.
Most of them are so-called board houses, made of wood and boards, and the houses made of stone are considered good here, as for the buildings, there is only one gathering place for a million people, a small three-story broken building, and as his hovercar slowly descends, a group of Harun people led by an old man came over.
"Hello, my lord, I am Buffy Ram, the patriarch of the Harun clan."
The old man has experienced many vicissitudes, and he can naturally see that the soldiers coming from the opposite side are hugging the young man in the middle, and he naturally understands that this young man's identity is the most noble, and while speaking, the old man's knees are weak, and he is about to kneel down, Jiang Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help,
"This elder, you can't help it, you are breaking my life, our Han and Tang Empires don't want this."
"Han and Tang Empire? The Han and Tang Empires, one of the nine great powers? β
Hearing his words, Patriarch Buffy looked at the young man in front of him in shock.
"Yes, this is Major General Jiang Wei of the Dawning Legion, under his wise command, we have recovered Ai Renxing and Ye Zhongxing."
Liang Lu, deputy director of the Provisional Military Intelligence Bureau of the Dawning Legion, jumped out for the first time, and unabashedly patted his ass, now he has made up his mind in his heart, he must follow the footsteps of the legion leader, although this legion commander is only temporarily appointed, but this undoubtedly shows that Jiang Wei already has the qualifications of the corps commander, it is nothing more than a matter of time, he feels that this time will definitely not be too long.
"What? Those armies of Binglufei have already been defeated? β
After getting a positive answer, Buffy Ram looked at Jiang Wei with a more respectful expression, he was not the young Harem men next to him who were puzzled by the world, he deeply understood that compared to the miscellaneous lieutenant generals and generals of Binglufei, the major generals of the nine great countries of the Han and Tang Empires were by no means idle, although the appearance of the legion elder on the other side was so young, but he did not dare to have a trace of slackness, the legion commander, this is the person who can decide the fate of their entire clan every second.
Under the leadership of Patriarch Buffy, everyone walked into his usual residence, originally thinking that the only three-story building would be his residence, but they didn't expect that his residence was just an ordinary stone house. Watching Jiang Wei look at the three-story building several times, Patriarch Buffy explained:
"That's the only school we have here. It's a pity that the teachers are too poor to teach them anything, only some simple knowledge. β
Hearing this, Jiang Wei was in awe, "No matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education." It's easy to say, but how many people can do it.
After sitting down, a teenage girl with clear eyebrows served a few cups of coarse tea, her eyes were smart, and she had wheat-colored skin, but her body was a little too thin.
"This is my granddaughter, Mi."
Jiang Wei touched her head, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in her hand, Xiao Mi looked at the chocolate in her hand in surprise, her face suddenly became abnormal, she looked at her grandfather with a twist, and after seeing him nodding, she ran away with a red face. Seeing the crude tea leaves, he didn't care, and after wiping a sip of tea, he asked,
"Patriarch Buffy, I don't know what the nobles will do in the future?"
Hearing this, Buffy frowned slightly, after experiencing the oppression of Bentrich, he was always a little uneasy, for fear that saying the wrong thing would annoy the young man in front of him who held the power of life and death, he asked carefully,
"General, I know that this place has been the territory of the Han and Tang Empires since ancient times, but it has been shamelessly stolen by Bin Lufei for nearly a hundred years, we have been living here for almost twenty years, and I dare not have other ideas, I just ask the general to leave us a place to live, but please give us a certain amount of tolerance in terms of taxes, eighty percent, it is too high. Fifty percent, no, sixty percent? Truth be told, we now have one meal a day for adults and only three meals for children and pregnant women. β
Hearing Buffy's words, Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction, this patriarch is still very good, first of all, he recognized the sovereignty of the Han and Tang Empires over Ye Zhongxing, hearing his request later, Jiang Wei shook his head helplessly, this guy is also oppressed and suffered, the general normal commercial tax is enough, and a small number of luxury ornaments and tobacco and alcohol will be taxed highly, he smiled,
"Patriarch Buffy, I can't agree to this request."
"This? General, eighty percent of us ,,,,,,,"
Buffy's face turned red and he just wanted to fight for it, but Jiang Wei waved his hand and comforted with a smile,
"Patriarch Buffy, don't get excited, listen to me, don't say eighty percent tax, even if it's fifty percent tax, I took you today, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will be invited by the Anti-Corruption Bureau to drink tea, and I don't have the right to tax, but as far as I know, the normal tax point for citizens of our country to open a company is about thirty to forty percent, and the catering category seems to be less, as for the agricultural tax, we don't have it, that is to say, your own land, and the grain planted are all your own."
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Buffy's old face flushed for a while, and he lived a handful of years, he actually misunderstood Jiang Wei's meaning just now, which made him a little embarrassed, but after hearing Jiang Wei's tax rate, he seemed to be twenty years younger, and he couldn't wait to ask,
"General, can we apply to become citizens of the Han and Tang Empires?"
"Of course, the Han and Tang Empires accepted citizenship applications from people from all over the universe, but it took a process. The key depends on the meaning of all your Harun people. β
"That's no problem, I guarantee that the residents of our Harun clan are willing to join the Han and Tang Empire, how long will it take? Will we be able to get our own land? β
"Haha, rest assured, Elder Buffy, normally, you need to settle in Hantang for ten years before you can get a permanent residence permit. On this basis, a scoring system is implemented according to the contribution made to the empire, and the taxes and expenses you pay can be accumulated for you, and after reaching 60 points, you can become a citizen of the empire. β
"I see, General, we have been living in the land of the Han and Tang Empires for more than twenty years."
Buffy looked at Jiang Wei in front of him with tears in his eyes, the latter was quite speechless, this old man is really good at talking, but he is right, they have indeed lived in Ye Zhongxing for twenty years.
"Well, there should be no problem with the matter of residence permits, but the application for citizenship must be done in accordance with the procedures of the Empire."
"This, the old man is cheeky and asks the general for advice, is there any quick way for us to accumulate points?"
"Haha, there is."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed, and he looked at him eagerly.
"I think it won't be long before there will be a large-scale city construction here, and as long as your people can actively go to work, the points will be indispensable. Oh, by the way, there is a salary, and three meals are full. β
In fact, when Buffy heard the sentence that he was full for three meals, he was completely moved, it doesn't matter if the salary is paid or not, their Harun tribe lacks everything now, but they are not lacking in strength, and they work all year round, and the women in this group can work as most of the men.
"The general is benevolent and righteous, and the old decay can't be repaid, so I kowtow to you."
Buffy was about to kneel down and kowtow again, Jiang Wei hurriedly helped him up again and said,
"I'm not happy that you're going to do this again."
β¦β¦
Seeing the figure of Jiang Wei in the distance, Buffy secretly clenched his fists, he knew very well that in order to truly let the clansmen survive and continue in the Han and Tang Empires, they must have a strong background to support them, and the young man in front of him was the best choice, his eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at the table......
