Chapter 21 Let the Taxes Go to God

I have to say that Zhang Xiao is lucky, fortunately Zhang Xiao is the head of Rome Village, not the head of Yi Village, you must know that this is the scale of the order, it is absolutely necessary to gather the financial resources and materials of a town to do it, and Zhang Xiao's territory at this time is indeed only two villages, but Rome Village is the "industrial town" of the whole town, with this foundation, Zhang Xiao can complete his armament plan.

After almost explaining some of the things in his heart, Zhang Xiao instructed old Hutson to stay at his office and go to the east of the village to find him whenever there was a situation, and then Zhang Xiao wandered on the path of Rome Village by himself.

Zhang Xiao walked on the way to the east of the village, looking at the villagers who passed by from time to time to greet him, it seemed that it was because the victory of this weapon fight had greatly improved Zhang Xiao's reputation in the east of the village, which was excellent news for Zhang Xiao.

What is needed to rule a region is nothing more than prestige and strength, if strength is the root, then prestige is the trunk of the rule, only the trunk is strong enough to grow more branches and leaves, which is also the meaning of our Chinese proverb "those who win the hearts of the people win the world".

Moreover, Zhang Xiao was planning to carry out the administrative reform at this time, and Zhang Xiao believed that as long as his political reform was successfully introduced, then his reputation in the village and the reputation of the surrounding caravans would be greatly increased.

But Zhang Xiao does have some troubled things, that is, the joint governance of Yi Village and Roman Village, although the two villages are neighboring villages, but they have accumulated too many contradictions in history, which makes Zhang Xiao feel very distressed about the integration of the two villages, in his mind, the title of Rome should represent the most prosperous and huge city, not the current small village.

Zhang Xiao sold the land in the east of Rome Village to the villagers of Yi Village with the idea of alleviating the contradiction between the villagers of the two villages, after all, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the water source in the east of Rome Village and the use of water in Yi Village.

This water source problem is only one of all the contradictions between the two villages, the two villages that have been in opposition for a long time need some opportunities to ease the relationship between the two sides, and they also need a strong force to represent the two sides, so Zhang Xiao decided to build a military camp!

Zhang Xiao did place some orders like some carpenters and stonemasons in the village, Zhang Xiao wanted to build a military camp between Roman Village and Yi Village, this military camp does not represent a fortress, the difference between a fortress and a military camp is that the fortress has a perfect administrative system and a certain production capacity, which is not necessary for Zhang Xiao.

And the reason for building the barracks Zhang Xiao has also been thought of: to suppress bandits.

Zhang Xiao's initial plan is to build a military camp that can accommodate 300 people, once the Yicun side receives the news that the grotto camp has been killed by robbers, and will definitely gather a group of young people at a very fast speed, and then a little selection can still find about 100 people.

As for the Roman village, Zhang Xiao already has some foundation, not counting the others, there are 35 villagers who have already sworn to follow Zhang Xiao, plus the two hundred families in the mountains and forests, the two hundred mountain and forest hunters are all military households after they come out, and the men of the military households, both young and old, are going to join the army, although Zhang Xiao does not need these old and young now, but some basic military training is still necessary.

Therefore, according to Zhang Xiao's preliminary estimate, there are likely to be nearly 200 military households in Roman Village, and some people may wonder that the men of 200 households are at least 300, and it is impossible to have only 200 people, but you must also know that these mountain and forest hunters may not all move out, and they are afraid that the village chief will continue to charge them harsh taxes after moving out, which is that they have been bitten by snakes for ten years and are afraid of well ropes.

As for the government reform and the military household system in Yicun, Zhang Xiao plans to slow down, after all, his foundation in Yicun is still shallow, and he is now facing the encirclement and suppression of the militia in the town, Zhang Xiao is not particularly anxious to carry out large-scale internal reform at this moment.

And next month is the annual tax summary, Rome Village is because Zhang Xiao is the head of Rome Village, which he has a number of government affairs, rapid tax reform, and this year's tax can be collected in a new tax form for a period of time, but Yicun's words may drag on for a long time because of government reform, which is not in his best interests for Zhang Xiao, who is now in urgent need of financial development.

Imura's side can only collect this year's tax in the old tax form, and then spend another year to carry out tax reform, and as for the tax that needs to be paid, let him see God!
