Nothing was said all night.

I didn't practice that night, but I slept in bed.

It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably.

The next day, it was dawn.

Xiang Wentian sent someone to pass the word, saying that he had set off early in the morning and was going back, thanking Yunyun for his hospitality.

I'm too lazy to send it, so let Gongsun Ce run to the end of the trip, saving trouble.

It's just that the monk can't run the temple.

As soon as I sat down here, my butt was not yet hot, and the tea had not yet reached my mouth, and I had a headache.

"Brother... Accompany me and Sister Wanlin to go shopping!" At this time, Rong'er jumped in from outside.

I looked helpless, my shoulders were towered, and a loveless expression hung on my face.

Rong'er ran in and stared at me carefully, and said, "Brother, are you unwilling to accompany me to the street?" Before she finished speaking, tears were almost dripping out, and my heart softened when she saw me.

Before he finished speaking, another voice came, "Rong'er, don't make trouble, let your brother have a good rest, your brother has been tired a lot recently!" At this time, Murong Wanlin was wearing a goose-yellow long skirt and walked in generously.

When Rong'er heard Murong Wanlin's words, her mouth pursed, and she could hang up the oil bottle.

I shook my head helplessly, scratched Rong'er's little Qiong's nose, and said, "Okay, I'm going back tomorrow, I'll go shopping with you today, and besides, you've been around this county hundreds of times, what else is there to visit!"

Rong'er reached out and knocked my big hand off, and said angrily: "I've been shopping a lot, but Sister Wanlin doesn't, let's go!"

After saying that, Rong'er didn't talk nonsense, she directly took my hand and dragged it outside, and Murong Wanlin, who looked at it, smiled coquettishly.

In this way, she dragged me to the street, and as soon as she got to the street, Rong'er regained her naughty personality and began to trick around the whole street.

Murong Wanlin and I walked side by side, walking in small steps, enjoying the difficult time. It's just that she can't be quiet, Rong'er will run over for a while, stuff something for a while, and then she won't rest.

After shopping for most of the day, I found a restaurant in the middle and ate a little casually, and then went to the free trade zone to stroll, bought a few barbarian treasured objects, and gradually walked back.

Rong'er is no longer as active as when she first came out, and at this time, she is walking in front of her weakly, as if she is angry, and she can't make me laugh.

However, after so long of hard work, Rong'er has also reached the peak of martial arts cultivation, presumably this time when she comes out to breathe, she will go back to retreat and break through.

didn't talk much all the way, only occasionally dealt with Rong'er's questions, Murong Wanlin didn't say much, and stayed by her side, but now Murong Wanlin's cultivation has precipitated well.

It's just that there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the Martial King.

In the evening, I ate a little barbecue made by myself in the backyard, and told Rong'er and Murong Wanlin not to practice at home all the time, and to follow the people from the cultivation tower to the mountain range to experience and experience when the time is right.

Because I know very well that the flowers in the greenhouse are the most important, not only do I know this, but Murong Wanlin also knows it.

In the end, in Rong'er's reluctance, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

It's just that I didn't fall asleep immediately, but called Fugui and Gongsun Ce to the room.

I ordered the maid to serve a pot of tea, and when the two of them had not come, I had a brief chat with the maid, knowing that it was not bad now, and I was more satisfied with the current life, and I still felt very pleased.

In the end, the maid raised a question, and said about her marriage, I was stunned, and then I said that in the future, I will go directly to the housekeeper for such a thing, and all the maids of the county guard's mansion, whether they were found later or brought over before.

As long as you propose to get married, the county guard will give a dowry, and if you come with it, you will go to the county guard to pick up your relatives, and the county guard is your mother's house. As for whether or not to continue to work after getting married, it is all up to your own wishes.

As soon as these words came out, the maid was immediately moved, and tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably.

It happened that Fugui and Gongsun Ce pushed the door in, and the two of them were stunned, and the maid was also stunned, and then picked up the tea tray and ran out.

"I'm going... Young master, you won't bully Chunlan, will you?

Come to think of it, it's true that I haven't chatted with Fugui for a long time. Suddenly hearing the joke of wealth, my heart suddenly warmed.

"Roll the calf, be careful of me kicking you in Ba Po!" At this time, I rolled my eyes at Fugui, with a helpless face.

"Then tell me, it's not you who bullied her, why is he crying? and said that he didn't bully, admit it honestly!" At this time, Fugui had a disbelieving expression on his face, and a look that you didn't admit it if you did something wrong.

At this time, Gongsun Ce was trying to hold back a smile next to him, for fear that he would laugh out loud and ruin the atmosphere.

Seeing Fugui's eyes, I was angry, and immediately stopped drinking tea, rolled up my sleeves and prepared to start.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fugui immediately hid behind Gongsun Ce, patted Gongsun Ce's shoulder and said, "Don't hold it back, hurry up and save your life." ”

Gongsun Ce shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything, walked to the table and sat down directly, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Fugui like this, with an expression that I just came to see the play, and the corners of his mouth naturally hung an arc.

After kicking Fugui twice, he returned to the table, sat down, took a sip of the teacup, and said to Gongsun Ce: "Gongsun Ce, I have given you a secret and difficult task. ”

At this time, Gongsun Ce looked at me with a serious face, and immediately put back the smile on his lips, and at the same time looked at me with a serious face, waiting for my task.

"Starting tomorrow, you will order you to go down and start secretly recruiting troops, not to post announcements to recruit troops, but to order those officials under the county to go door-to-door to inquire, and if you are willing, you will assemble every three days and send them directly to the camp overnight. ”

"This matter should not be spread widely, and the family must keep it confidential, and remember not to disclose it to any strangers. This time, if you make a big move, I'll give you a month to recruit as many moves as you can. ”

"Of course, the shorter the time, the better, and make it clear to those who are right or something, work hard, and get rewarded when it's done. ”

After saying this, my mouth was a little dry, so I took a sip of my teacup.

Gongsun Ce listened very carefully, and after pondering for a while, he nodded and expressed his understanding.

Then I looked at Fugui and asked directly, "Fugui, what is the current tax situation in the entire county, how much can I collect every month?"

Hearing my question, Fugui put away the expression he had just laughed at, took out a small book that looked like an account book from his cuffs, opened it and flipped through it, and then said: "In recent months, the tax has been very good, and if it is converted into spirit stones every month, it is about 10 yuan. ”

When I heard Fugui's words, I fell into deep thought, my fingers pinching my chin, and I thought about it in my heart. These 10 fast spirit stones are equivalent to 10 million gold coins. According to the calculation of 400,000 troops, if each person has 10 gold coins per month, that is, 4 million.

If it is 20 gold coins per person per month, then it is 8 million. In this way, the tax aspect can still be supported. But you can't spend it all.

At the very least, there is one point, the military rations are gone, and they still need to be purchased with gold coins.

After meditating, I turned directly to Fugui and asked, "If you are adding a little tax now, do you think it is feasible?"

After listening to my question, Fugui did not answer immediately, but thought for a while and said: "If you increase taxes a little now, there is no problem in theory, and the economy of the whole county has been active now. ”

"Especially after the opening of the foreign trade zone, the jade produced by the barbarians was welcomed by many people, and the barbarians also needed gold coins for trading, so now a complete set of exchange trade systems has been formed. ”

"So on the whole, basically as long as you open a shop now, you will definitely make money, and those small vendors who set up stalls on the street have not collected money, this tax is already quite good. ”

"But I don't recommend directly asking for a tax increase, now the matter in front of me is obvious, the dynasty has no supply, then these soldiers need to be raised by the county guard, so those merchants pay a little more tax is also to raise soldiers!"

"Therefore, it is suggested that the matter should be made public directly, and the principle of voluntariness should be paid more if you are willing to pay more, and if you are not willing to pay more, then you should pay according to the original tax. In addition, those vendors who set up stalls can also charge a little bit on a monthly basis. ”

After Fugui summed up, he stopped talking and waited for my next step.

It's just that Gongsun Ce's brows furrowed tightly. There was no direct statement.

I glanced at Gongsun Ce and asked directly, "Gongsun Ce, if you have any doubts, just say it, it's okay!"

"Boss, these businesses are basically attracted by us at the beginning, and they have promised good tax-related policies, and I am afraid it is not good to backtrack at this time!"

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, I also fell into deep thought, Gongsun Ce's words are not unreasonable, but at present, Feixi County is my place of origin, and the current military salary and materials must come from here.

And now, although the monthly tax is more than enough compared to now, but in the event of a war, the amount of use will be different from now, although I still have a lot of balance here.

But there is always a day when the light can't get in and out, and there will always be a day when it runs out.

I sighed leisurely and said: "Fugui, you go and ask first, see what those people in your business alliance think of this matter, don't force it, if you don't want to, then you can still implement it according to the original tax!"

"As for the small vendors on both sides of the street, in this way, Fugui arranges people to carry out unified management, delineate the scope of business, and the distance should be the same, and then charge a symbolic amount every month. ”

"This is just this part taken from the people for the people, not included in the income and expenditure of the county guard, but stored separately for the improvement of people's livelihood in Feixi County and other related expenditures. ”

Fugui recorded it very carefully, and nodded his head in approval.

Then I said to Gongsun Ce: "The tax on grain and grass is the same, look at what the people say, if you are willing to pay a little more, it is good, if you are unwilling, we will invest in the purchase and buy the grain quickly." ”

"Because with the outbreak of war, food and grass and military salaries are the top priority, and you two must keep this in mind. ”

Fugui and Gongsun Ce nodded, and then after learning that there was nothing to do, they all said goodbye and went down to prepare.

I also sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

And the entire Feixi County has once again accelerated the pace of development. The implications are far-reaching.
