Zhao Lei and Deng Ai, one is from the county order and has little experience in state and county affairs, and the other is still young, usually only learning experience through paperwork, and has not yet reached the point where he can decide whether to reduce or reduce taxes.

ZHANG Xima. Not to mention, he really doesn't dare to make decisions about this matter.

Whether taxes should be reduced or reduced, whether there is a reasonable basis, how much is appropriate, and how to reduce the burden on the people while ensuring the normal operation of the government are all knowledge.

Not to mention that there is one more thing to consider in this is the storage of military rations, after all, it is a troubled time, and it is necessary to prepare for war.

Zhang Xi had the heart to discuss it with Ma Liangyi, but these two people had been busy with the disaster situation in Jingnan County recently, and they were eager to split themselves in half, so how could they have this time to help Zhang Xi come up with ideas and find a way.

Therefore, Zhang Xi still had to discuss with Zhao Lei and Deng Ai, and worked out a set of tax reduction and exemption plans for both gains and losses.

But no one dares to say that they will follow this plan, because no one knows the bottom of their hearts.

The livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people is at stake, who dares to be careless?!

And at this time, Xi Zhen arrived.

At the end of March, Zhang Xi asked Xu Shu for one of the Xi brothers to be the county leader, and Xu Shu was ready to send troops to pacify the barbarians in the mountains, so he left the two brothers to deal with the affairs of Wuling.

Later, Xu Shu returned peacefully, and happened to encounter a locust plague, so he stayed two more people for a while, and it was not until the beginning of August that Xi Zhen was sent to Nanjun to be the county leader of Nanjun.

And Xi Zhen has many years of experience in managing counties, from the smallest county lieutenant to the largest county guard, he has done it all, this kind of thing is simply a matter of hand-to-hand for him.

After reading the plan made by Zhang Xi and others, Xi Zhen took last year's Dingkou and tax atlas as a reference, and spent a night revising some figures to get the plan for tax reduction.

"The county guard and his two colleagues have actually made a plan, and it is only a slight modification and it is not worth mentioning." Xi Zhen modestly explained her work efficiency.

But Zhang Xi and the three of them have been completely convinced, isn't it the problem of numbers that the three of them are struggling with, how to reduce this kind of thing, refer to some previous cases.

According to Xi Zhen's figures, we can find a good balance between the government's grain taxation and the people's lives, which can not only meet the needs of the government, but also ensure that the food in the hands of the people can survive the cold winter and survive the next year.

Xi Zhen immediately impressed Zhang Xi and the other three, and officially took up the post of Nanjun Juncheng.

After that, Xi Zhen also quickly straightened out the working relationship, after all, this celebrity with a good reputation and reputation is not bad, and he is still from a local family in Jingzhou, and the people below will not grind foreign workers in front of him.

Everything seems to be back on track.

Zhang Xi is in charge of the whole, Xi Zhen is in charge of practice, Zhao Lei and Deng Ai help deal with the paperwork, and fully preside over the work of this autumn harvest and grain collection. Then Zhang Xi suddenly received a notice, saying that Guan Yu had sent someone to invite.

said that Jiangdong sent an envoy over to discuss personal matters with Guan Yu, Guan Yu thought about it for a while, and called Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi was called a puzzle. People talk to you about private matters, what are you asking me to do?!

You really treat me as your nephew?!

Guan Yu couldn't explain to Zhang Xi either, he couldn't say that he was forced to stay in the house in order to avoid suspicion, and then went to the pavilion to invite the envoy from Jiangdong.

The name of the Jiangdong envoy is Lu Yite, and Zhang Xi almost jumped.

Good guy, school affairs Lu Yi is right?!

Sun Quan was a tool man who fiddled with power in his later years, and he was also Sun Quan's henchman, why was this guy coming to Jingzhou? !

This person can't be offended, this is a real villain, and if he goes back and offends him, he has to play with right and wrong. Well? Something seems wrong.

At this time, Lu Yi can be regarded as an important minister in Jiangdong?!

Or should I say, has Lu Yi ever been an important minister in his life? !

Why is it his turn to envoy Jingzhou?!

If it was a serious matter, why didn't Sun Quan send someone with the same official position and prestige as an envoy, but send such a thing?!

Then when I heard it, it was really not a serious matter.

"My lord heard that the prince has a daughter, who is very young and has not yet married." Lu Yi smiled and said to Guan Yu, "My lord wants to marry the daughter of the prince for his son-in-law, and the villain is here to inquire." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he was furious. There is no reason why Guan Yu is not angry.

Let's not mention that his daughter has already promised to marry others, although he is not very happy, but this matter has been decided, and he will not regret it.

Let's just say that Sun Quan mentioned this matter, which made Guan Yu feel annoyed.

Zhang Xi was also surprised, but when he saw Guan Yu's posture, he hurriedly stopped it first, and persuaded Guan Junhou to calm down.

This is a real villain in front of him, if you say one, he can say ten, if you say a little heavy, he will dare to tell Sun Quan when he goes back that you insult Sun Quan's whole family and can't kill it, there is no way.

It's not that you can't afford to offend, but it's not worth offending him.

Looking back, Zhang Xi didn't quite understand Sun Quan's brain circuit.

I didn't have this idea when I watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, but after crossing over, Zhang Xi always thought that Sun Quan's proposal was made up by Luo Guanzhong.

Because of this, it's weird.

"Sir!" Zhang Xi appeased Guan Yu, turned around and saluted Lu Yi first, and then asked, "There is something unclear below, please ask Mr. General Sun's son, if you remember correctly, you are eight years old now, right?!" ”

That's right, that's why Zhang Xi thinks that the marriage proposal belongs to Luo Guanzhong's blind fabrication.

Sun Quan's eldest son, Sun Deng, was born in 209 AD, and now he is only eight years old at this time, even if it is really time for Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou, Sun Deng is only twelve years old, are you here to propose, or are you joking?!

Let's not talk about Guan Yu, as a general sitting on one side, how taboo it is to marry the allied lord without authorization. Let's just say that ordinary people ask a child who is less than 12 years old to marry a girl who is almost 20 years old, which is not like words.

Think about it, you have a daughter in your family, and when she reaches the age of marriage, someone comes to tell you that the other party is the son of a big entrepreneur, how much is his net worth, how high his status is, everything is fine, and this son is twelve years old this year.

Guan Yu didn't cut him with a knife, he can be regarded as self-contained.

And now it's even more outrageous, Sun Deng is only eight years old, and you, Sun Quan, have sent someone to propose marriage. Is this planning to use Guan Yu's daughter as a child daughter-in-law?!

Don't really talk about political marriages regardless of age, even according to the current etiquette, this matter is quite impolite.

If both parties are adults, the age difference is really not a problem.

But now Sun Deng is not an adult, and the rate of child mortality in this year is surprisingly high.

This matter must come down, and Sun Deng will hang up before he reaches adulthood, what do you want Guan Yu's daughter to do?!

The etiquette of these years is not as strict as that of later generations, of course Guan Yinping can also remarry, and Sun Quan can't say anything, but it's not good to hear, after all, the fathers of both sides are figures with heads and faces.

didn't do anything like this, no wonder Guan Yu was angry.

Of course, none of the above is important, what really matters is - Ya, the Guan family tiger girl is my disciple's daughter-in-law, and the grandson is 100,000 shameless, you dare to think about it?!

When I turned around, I encouraged Xiao Deng Ai to smuggle across the Yangtze River and kill Jianye, believe it or not.

Lu Yi was also a little speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this matter was troublesome, and he couldn't blame me for the bad idea of his own brother.

And it's . Who are you?! I'm talking to Guan Junhou, what are you talking about?!

But Zhang Xi was still quite polite to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi was not rude to Zhang Xi, so he asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is."

Zhang Xi returned the salute and said, "Nanjun is too guarded, Zhang Xi." ”

Then Lu Yi became honest, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Zhang Xi's name may not be loud in other places, but in Jiangdong, it is definitely enough.

On the one hand, Zhou Yu praised Zhang Xi in front of the Jiangdong minister and Sun Quan when he had nothing to do, saying that this person had the talent of Wang Zuo, and his ability was not under Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others.

The two, regardless of whether Sun Quan really thinks so or not, but Zhang Xi is always his brother-in-law, and Sun Quan can't belittle his brother-in-law in public, so he also praises Zhang Xi together.

Therefore, Lu Yi, who is Sun Quan's confidant, is naturally a head shorter than Sun Quan's brother-in-law Zhang Xi.

In addition, Lu Yi is the best at observing words and feelings, and the most important thing is temperance. As soon as he heard that it was Zhang Xi, the little dissatisfaction in his heart was thrown out of the clouds, so he hurriedly smiled and saluted Zhang Xi, and then explained the reason.

Sun Quan sent Lu Yi to come for Sun Deng, and proposed marriage to Guan Yu's daughter.

Age, Sun Deng is indeed a little younger, but you can settle things first, and wait until Sun Deng is an adult to get married, this is not in a hurry.

Sun Quan just wanted to deepen the alliance between the two sides.

Of course, these are superficial factors, but the actual reasons are. Of course, Lu Yi can't tell Guan Yu and Zhang Xi, after all, it involves Jiangdong secrets.

According to Guan Yu's meaning, this envoy doesn't need to be interviewed, just blast it out.

But Zhang Xi stopped Guan Yu and muttered in Guan Yu's ear for a while, only then did he get Guan Yu's acquiescence.

Then, Zhang Xi smiled, took Lu Yi's hand, and said that he wanted to invite Lu Yi to eat together.

By the way, they're all coming to Gangneung, why don't you go and visit Sun Shangxiang, can't you say it?!

After speaking, Zhang Xi took Lu Yi back to his mansion together, and in his mansion, invited Lu Yi to dinner.

Where did Lu Yi receive this kind of treatment, and he instantly filled his heart with a good impression of Zhang Xi.

Lu Yi is a villain, but a villain does not mean that he is shameless, on the contrary, the more villain he is, the more he attaches importance to his face.

Because no one has ever given him face.

It is true that Lu Yi is Sun Quan's confidant, but Lu Yi, like his brother Lu Meng, is not from a big family, not even a poor family, the two of them are indeed ordinary people who fled to Jiangdong, and later Lu Meng was promoted by Sun Quan because of his combat bravery, and Lu Yi was also naked, relying on his own ability to speak, he pleased Sun Quan and was arranged into the personal guard team.

What do you think, Lu Meng later attacked Jingzhou and captured Guan Yu, such a big fame is still said by Cao Pi to be from the grassroots, and he looks down on him at all.

It is conceivable that Lu Yi is in Jiangdong on weekdays, facing those old ministers of the Huaisi Group and the Jiangdong Family Group, who will give him face.

Now, Zhang Xi gave Lu Yi face, not only greeted him with a smile, but also took him to his home for dinner.

This is Zhang Xi, the famous Jiangdong celebrity Zhang Xi Lu Yi can not be moved.

Therefore, when Zhang Xi mentioned at the dinner table that General Guan's daughter had been married to Zhang Xi's disciple Deng Ai, Lu Yi didn't feel any dissatisfaction at all, on the contrary, he complained about his clan brother, and he didn't investigate clearly before making an idea.

It's just that this is the first time Lu Yi has sent an envoy to Jingzhou on behalf of Sun Quan, and it is also his first errand, and he has to go back, which is somewhat faceless.

Zhang Xi said that this was easy to do, and asked Sun Shangxiang to write a letter back, and it would be good for her sister to explain the reason to her brother Sun Quan.

When Lu Yi heard this, he was immediately relieved.

What to say after going back, that is Lu Yi's business, and with Lu Yi's eloquence, this matter can be completely cleared up.

But the purpose of testing Jingzhou's attitude was not achieved, and Lu Yi was still a little worried.

Zhang Xi pondered for a moment and said that since General Sun intended to marry, it should also be a marriage between the two lords, so that General Sun's son would marry the daughter of Guan Junhou, no matter how you think about it, the status is not equal. Let's do it, I'll write a letter and ask what the lord thinks.

Then Zhang Xi inadvertently revealed that Mrs. Yu has a daughter, who is exactly three years old and eight-year-old Sun Deng this year, which seems to be about the same.

Now Lu Yi was happy, there was no burden, after eating and drinking, he met Sun Shangxiang, took the reply letter, and happily returned to the pavilion, preparing to play in Jiangling for a few days, and then go back to Jianye.
