Wang Bao, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Lord Wang, I don't like to hear what you say, our army has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are soldiers and soldiers of our army in Shanxi and Henan, how can you say that you can't protect the people?" ”

"Wangbao, you used to be an official soldier, and then followed the Dashun army, and then returned to the official army, Jiannu did not put the main force here with us, once Jiannu mobilized heavy troops, only relying on Taiyuan Mansion and other places, it was impossible to stop the Qing army's iron cavalry, and you are still here to do this and that slowly, do you have to wait for the Jiannu army to press the territory without grain and grass, and then go to the people to squeeze?"

The more Ling Jingyang listened to the fire, he couldn't help but retort to him: "Why is there no grain and grass, our army has a lot of grain and grass that was snatched from Jiannu." ”

Wang Mu sneered: "Isn't robbing the grain and grass of the Qing army also killing chickens and eggs?" ”

Everyone was speechless when they said this, and Wang Mu said: "We collect heavy taxes, but it is only temporary, in order to protect the people from being oppressed by Jiannu. ”

Ling Jingyang didn't squeak, Wang Mu was also waiting for his final decision, and after a long time, he staggered and said: "Lord Wang is reasonable, I was a woman before, but eight taxes and one is too heavy, and it was thirty taxes and one is very light before, so it is better to collect taxes at twenty taxes and one, so that we should be able to supply our army with food, grass and military salaries." ”

"Governor, our current territory is mainly based on agriculture and mulberry, and most of the levies are in kind, and as soon as the twenty taxes are levied in kind, almost a battle will be consumed, how can there be silver to be issued to the soldiers."

"Then fifteen taxes one, and then add commercial tax, as long as it is not agricultural tax, all belong to commercial tax, commercial tax ten taxes one, there are refusal of commercial tax, on a daily basis to add ten thousand five taxes, resist commercial tax for more than three months, the whole family is full of army."

Ling Jingyang suddenly proposed to levy commercial taxes, so that Wang Mu and other civil officials would not be able to turn around for a while, the Ming Dynasty has not levied such a heavy commercial tax for a long time, even if it is a commercial tax, the tax burden in the Ming Dynasty only accounts for a small proportion, but Ling Jingyang suddenly raised the commercial tax, faintly using agricultural tax to replace the commercial tax.

"Wang Mu, stay with me, and all of you here, drive away Jiannu together, and lay a prosperous era for the people."

"Okay, I'll stay, but please oversee the agricultural tax fifteen and one

, commercial tax ten taxes one. ”

"Then according to your meaning, I will go to Taiyuan City this time, and I will go to Yanmen Pass soon, and I will ask you to leave it to you in the rear."

Everyone also returned the salute to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang ordered the meeting to be dismissed, he said a day today, his mouth was dry, and he had to meet with Haoqiang at night, he felt tired when he thought about it, so he fell asleep.

slept until the afternoon, and was woken up by the voices of two women, it turned out to be Bai Lushui, Wen Mandarin Duck, the two little women originally came to deliver food to Ling Jingyang at night, but they heard that Ling Jingyang was going to have a banquet tonight, and the two were busy bringing the meals that had been prepared long ago to Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang's chest was already hungry and pressed against his back, and asked the two women to bring the food over, Wen Mandarin Duck stewed a pig's trotter for Ling Jingyang, and Bai Lushui stewed a goose in Ling Jingyang's iron pot, Ling Jingyang was not polite, and made chicken and goose meat in one meal, and the eating appearance was very exaggerated, Wen Mandarin Duck and Bai Lushui had the illusion of tyrannical things.

After a storm, Ling Jingyang burped with satisfaction, and asked the two women to go back, Bai Lushui was a little anxious, and stepped forward to grab Ling Jingyang's ears.

"The surname is Ling, let me go back when you are full, do you still have a conscience?"

Without waiting for him to speak, Wen Yuanyang half-squatted and said to Ling Jingyang: "The officials are full, rest early, and the slave family will retire." ”

Wen Mandarin Duck left in a dashing manner, leaving Bai Lushui up or down, very embarrassed, Ling Jingyang watched Wen Mandarin Duck leave, and suddenly felt that she was a little pretentious, but she was also in the range of acceptance, and Bai Lushui said: "Look at your Sister Mandarin Duck, learn more." ”

"Learn from her? Can't learn. ”

"Can't learn? Then what are you doing with her in the morning? ”

was poked in the soft underbelly by Ling Jingyang's words, Bai Liushui's delicate body suddenly softened, and the whole person fell into Ling Jingyang's arms, making Ling Jingyang feel her warmth.

She had a feeling that Ling Jingyang's chest was so strong, and she wanted to lie in his arms for the rest of her life, and in her dream, she suddenly thought of Dong Daqi, a man who looked sturdy and tall than Ling Jingyang, who had been haunting the streets near her yard recently.

met with Dong Daqi several times, Dong Daqi was embarrassed to greet her, and just walked from the side with his own soldiers, which made Bai Lushui very uncomfortable

, I always feel that Dong Daqi is a little weird, but I can't tell how weird it is.

Suddenly, Ling Jingyang's somewhat obscene voice came from his ears: "Lushui, you little girl has grown up?" ”

Bai Lushui's heart beat faster in an instant, and she looked at Ling Jingyang with affection, but when she saw Ling Jingyang's squinting appearance, she hurriedly got out of Ling Jingyang's arms.

"You prodigal son, hmph, I will also go to Taiyuan City this time."

"You're going to Taiyuan City?"

"Well, I'm going to Taiyuan City to buy some ingredients, Yuci City is still too small, and I can't buy many things."

"Or wait for me to come back from Yanmen Pass, and I have time to take you to the more prosperous Jiangnan to have a look, the pastries there are delicious, and the duck blood there is a must."

"Well, I'll wait for you to take me to Jiangnan, eat the pastries there, and taste duck blood."

Bai Lushui was immersed in her and Ling Jingyang's horse in Jiangnan, growing old with her sweetheart in Jiangnan Water Town, she wanted to give Ling Jingyang a lot of dolls, Ling Jingyang saw his face in Bai Lushui's eyes, Bai Lushui had him in his eyes, he in his heart, and he was in the world.

"Lushui, I'm going to fight the Qing army, you must not catch fire in the backyard, and Wen Mandarin Duck, I know you hate her, but you have to think about it, she is also a weak woman, she was given to me as a gift by her brother, if I let her go back, wouldn't it make her lose her virginity and ruin her reputation?"

Bai Lushui's little head swayed, and she also felt that Wen Yuanyang was also a little pitiful, and Ling Jingyang pouted: "I didn't bully her." ”

"You're a woman with a knife and a tofu heart."

Ling Jingyang wanted Bai Lushui to go back to rest, and suddenly remembered the task he had given Bai Lushui, so he said to Bai Lushui: "Lushui, you haven't forgotten that task, have you?" ”

The task he gave Bai Lushui was to collect personal information such as hobbies and habits of the senior generals of the Dashun Army for him, and Bai Lushui worked hard to collect this information, but the military struggle of the Dashun Army was cruel and mobile, and many generals died on the battlefield before they had time to collect useful information.

Like a child who has done something wrong, she lowered her head and said to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Jingyang, I didn't do this well. ”
