A few days later, the construction of the road outside Lingnan was completed.

However, when the road was built to Lingnan, it was immediately blocked by the local people.

The local government followed Fang Yuan's orders to persuade the people and stop them, but it didn't work.

It didn't take long for Lingnan officials to bear the pressure and report to Fang Yuan, who was in Wuling County.

"The Lingnan bureaucrats are stubborn, and it is too difficult to get them to agree to build the road."

Zhang Ji was on the sidelines, expressing his opinion.

He is in Wuling County, which is not very far from Lingnan, and he still has an understanding of the situation in Lingnan.

The people of Lingnan are fierce, and the wisdom of the people has not yet been opened, so it is difficult to make the people of Lingnan obey the arrangements of the imperial court.

"Are the caravans that went to Lingnan to do business still in Wuling County?"

Fang Yuan asked indifferently.

He had expected the situation.

He has been in Wuling County for longer than Zhang Ji's.

Naturally, I know more about Lingnan than Zhang Ji.

"I just left a few days ago, and it seems that I am going to Lingnan."

Zhang Ji thought for a while and said.

There are not many people who dare to go to Lingnan to do business.

It is estimated that there are only a few in Wuling County in the whole world.

Legend has it that they themselves were Lingnan people, but for some reason they left Lingnan and made their home in Wuling County.

"It's a pity, otherwise I could have asked them to help."

Fang Yuan said with a little regret.

Those caravans had a great relationship in Lingnan.

If they were here, they might be able to build the road with their help.

"Why don't I go find them and come back?"

Zhang Ji thought that he could help Fang Yuan, and immediately wanted to send someone to find it.

"No, you can go back to duty first."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It doesn't matter if there are them or not.

Without them, there is no way to do it yourself.

After having been a county magistrate in Wuling County for so long, Fang Yuan's understanding of Lingnan would not be less than that of others.

Dare to choose Lingnan as a fiefdom, that is, there is a corresponding guess, and there are ways to deal with it.

"Teacher, I want to stay and help you."

Zhang Ji didn't want to leave.

I want to do my best to help Fang Yuan.

"Then you go back and write to the officials in Lingnan with my order, and tell them that I will come to Lingnan in person in three days and let them come to see me together."

Fang Yuan got up and walked around the hall.

"Teacher, the situation in Lingnan is complicated, and I am worried that you are in danger."

Zhang Ji immediately worried.

"It's okay, I have manpower."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

The three hundred people arranged by the imperial court this time were enough for Fang Yuan.

No matter how you say that you are the king of Lingnan, as long as the toasts in Lingnan are not stupid, they dare not mess with themselves.

Otherwise, it will definitely not be as simple as quelling the chaos, and Li Jing's army will have to come to Lingnan before setting out to turn the world upside down.

"Yes."

Zhang Ji saw that Fang Yuan insisted, so he didn't dare to have any more opinions.

Immediately follow Fang Yuan's instructions, go back and write documents in Fang Yuan's name and send them to officials from all over Lingnan.

Three days passed, and Fang Yuan set off for Lingnan.

Before entering Lingnan, this road was very flat and very familiar.

But after entering Lingnan, the situation is different, and it suddenly becomes an uneven mountain road.

On this kind of road, riding in a carriage is actually a kind of torture, so Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan changed to riding together.

"Is this Lingnan?"

"It looks like a big miasma, and people who have lived here for a long time are prone to bone pain when they get old."

Du Miaoyan looked around, frowning slightly.

It doesn't look like a very good place for people to live, and the people who live here are probably not healthy.

For such a place, Du Miaoyan doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart, it is far from being as good as Chang'an City.

"A few places are, most of them are very livable."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Lingnan is the south, which is relatively humid and rainy.

In ancient times, wind and rain were not a good thing, and they had a very serious impact on people.

But if you plan it, it's actually easier to develop and just as suitable for life.

For example, somewhere overseas in Lingnan, there is a Hainan Island, which is like spring all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very good.

All in all, with Fangyuan's current technology, staying in Lingnan will not be too much worse than Chang'an City.

"That's what the husband said."

Du Miaoyan smiled and didn't say much on this point.

This is already Fang Yuan's back cover, and I only hope that the follow-up can develop well.

If it's really not suitable for living, then go to Future Island to live, it's definitely good.

As Fang Yuan led his troops into Lingnan, the Tusi from all over Lingnan sent people to identify them.

In the forests on both sides of the mountain road, there are local natives staring at the convoy.

Their eyes were fierce, and they were hostile to Fang Yuan's convoy.

But this has been a long way, and no one dares to do it.

"Husband, we are not welcome in the toast of Lingnan."

Du Miaoyan felt their hostility and felt a little difficult in her heart.

If the local people don't support Fang Yuan coming here to be the king of Lingnan.

After entering Lingnan in the future, it is estimated that the situation will not be very good, and the policy will not be implemented.

"Expected."

Fang Yuan was not surprised by this.

On the contrary, I feel that this time it is what Lingnan should look like.

Lingnan disobeyed the discipline of the imperial court, especially the local bureaucrats.

They don't need people to rule, they just want to live their lives well.

However, no matter where the people are, it is difficult for the people at the bottom to live their own lives.

It was the local toast who made the people of Lingnan so resistant to the control of the imperial court.

The real problem lies in the local toast.

All the way forward.

More than an hour later, Fang Yuan and the others came to a place.

It is still a relatively flat land, and there are no houses around.

However, officials from all over Lingnan had already gathered here, waiting for Fang Yuan's arrival.

Just because this will become the palace of the king of Lingnan, planning has already begun, and it will be built here after the plan is completed.

"Wait for the ministers to meet the king of Lingnan!"

More than a dozen officials saw Fang Yuan's arrival and saluted Fang Yuan in unison.

When they saw that Fang Yuan was so young, they were all shocked.

"No courtesy."

"I've been waiting here."

Fang Yuan got off his horse and said indifferently.

Looking at the huge territory in front of him, Fang Yuan sighed a little.

This area is too large, the size of more than ten or twenty football fields.

Fang Yuan couldn't live in such a large palace at all, but the specifications of the imperial court were like this, and Fang Yuan couldn't change it if he wanted to.

At this time, a local native, who appeared in the forest, stared at Fang Yuan and the others from a distance, his eyes were not good.

"Teacher, I'm going to drive them away?"

Zhang Ji asked in a low voice.

"No, go ask a few to come over."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

It was so far away that they couldn't hear what they were saying, even if they stared at them.

Rather than this, it is better for Dark to let them come over and listen to what they have planned.

"Yes."

Zhang Ji was stunned.

But he still obediently listened to Fang Yuan's wishes.

Not long after, about one or two people from a tribe, Zhang Ji invited more than a dozen natives.

These more than a dozen natives were invited, and when they saw so many officials here, they were still full of hostility.

"The king wants to hear from you."

Fang Yuan looked at the officials in Lingnan and said.

It's a wilderness, and it's a bit strange to report here.

But Fang Yuan demanded that those of them who were subordinates did not dare to have other opinions.

On the contrary, there was still a good sight, and immediately brought a clean stone for Fang Yuan to sit on.

"Your Highness, Sanhui County, which is under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, is very difficult!"

"The authority of the local Tusi is greater than that of my county order, and about half of the people do not pay taxes, they are all paid to the local Tusi, and they will not go to the county government to redress their grievances in case of lawsuits."

An official stepped forward.

It is the county order of Sanhui County, a middle-aged man.

It was arranged by the imperial court and has replaced the local county order.

The more than 10 county orders present have been completely replaced in accordance with the orders of the imperial court.

Now the officials in Lingnan are already people from the imperial court, and in time, Lingnan will gradually be under the management of the imperial court.

But no one can say for sure how long this time will take, and it will start in ten years, at least.

"Your Highness, Lianjiang County, which is managed by the lower officials, is also very difficult."

"The financial support of the imperial court is not in place, and the county government can't keep up with the ideas."

"In addition, the people were barbaric, and the county government wanted to dredge the river for them, but they couldn't carry it out, so that some farmers died of drought last year."

Another county magistrate stepped forward.

Next, one after another, vivid examples were given.

There were more than a dozen county orders on the scene, and listening to what they said, their governance was very difficult.

The natives who were invited listened and went from hostility to shock, from shock to shame.

"The situation in Lingnan is already known to the king, and you have worked hard all these years."

"Today, I have entered Lingnan, and Lingnan will be the fief of our source from today, and from today onwards, your money will be distributed to you by this king, and your taxes will also be handed over to this king."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

When the words fell, everyone's expressions changed.

From this moment on, they changed from ministers of the court to ministers of Fang Yuan.

Although they were still appointed by the imperial court, they received the money from Fang Yuan.

As the saying goes, whoever gives money is doing things for whom, and when Fang Yuan gives money, they are doing things for Fang Yuan.

"You don't have to worry, although you are receiving money here from this king, if you do a good job and want to leave Lingnan, you can be transferred to other places."

"Also, the repair project just mentioned, after I go back, I will pass on the notes to this king, and if this king is correct, he will allocate funds for you to repair it."

Fang Yuan said.

The situation of the royal land is quite special.

In the king's land, the people and the officials belonged to the king.

But they are also from the imperial court, and that will never change.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"After the minister returns, I will immediately sort out the materials and send them to you."

Immediately several officials spoke out.

They are all in desperate need of money to get things done.

With Fang Yuan's words, they felt that the matter was more than half successful.

Many times, many things are not done, simply because there is not enough money.

"Ugly words are ahead, if you want to do things, you must make actual achievements, otherwise you still have to be held accountable."

Fang Yuan's eyes sank, and he said coldly.

"Your Ministers obey!"

The officials were taken aback, and immediately responded.

"In addition, this king has decided that all parts of Lingnan will not collect taxes this year for three years."

Fang Yuan bowed his head, and then said in a deep voice.

When the words fell, including the natives who were invited, the officials all looked at Fang Yuan in shock.

If there is no tax collection for three years, even the imperial court has never made such a major decision, it is too shocking, right?

It's not as simple as a penny, but the expenditure of countless money is not recovered!

"Your Highness, this matter is very big, please be cautious!"

An official stood up and said worriedly.

Tax exemption is definitely the happiest policy for the local people.

But for the yamen, it may make it difficult to carry out their work.

"Don't worry, listen to what this king says."

"There are conditions for the three-year tax exemption, and that is the problem of road construction in Lingnan."

"The king decided to build a road to the various tribes, presided over by the local county order, and the tribes themselves started the work, and those who are unwilling to cooperate shall not enjoy the tax exemption policy, and those who cooperate, the day their tribes repair it, will be officially exempted from taxes for three years."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He had planned to build a road from the outside to the inside.

But today, when people from these tribes were invited, their minds changed.

Since they are all building roads, let's build more and build them for each tribe, so that they can repair them themselves.

They just provide the raw materials, they provide the manpower, and relatively speaking, the money that needs to be spent becomes less.

And it can also harvest the hearts of a wave of people from all parts of Lingnan.

"Your Highness is wise."

Sensing Fang Yuan's move, the Shengming official immediately stepped forward.

Most of the officials who knew the importance of the highway knew the importance of Fang Yuan's move.

With the road, it will be much easier to govern the ministries in the future, and the management of them will be much better.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is wise!"

The natives who were invited also said excitedly.

Tax exemption is too important for them, and it's tax exemption for three years.

The three-year tax exemption allows them to live happily for three years without worrying about not having enough food and clothing.

"Let's disperse, spread the king's three-year tax exemption policy throughout Lingnan within three days."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Wait for the resignation!"

The officials whispered and eventually left.

The natives who were invited also left, and the pace of departure was a bit fast.

They all couldn't wait to go back and tell their tribe about the good news.

It didn't take long for the news of the Lingnan King's decision to exempt taxes for three years throughout the Lingnan Ministry.

After the people of Lingnan learned about it, they called it the Lord of the Blue Sky and cheered for the arrival of the King of Lingnan.

For them, tax exemption is a great benefit, and whoever gives them benefits is their food and clothing parents.

However, it was not a good thing for the local toasts, and they almost didn't them off to death.

"This Lingnan King is here to find fault, right?"

"Damn, most of our people pay taxes to us, and now he has ordered the tax exemption for three years, will they pay us back?"

"Damn, he still wants us to help build roads, why is he so insidious, with public opinion, that we are forced to agree to the three-year tax exemption policy, and we have to build roads."

"What should I do, just follow the damn Lingnan King's will?"

The toasts of the tribes were furious.

Because Fang Yuan's policy seems to be fast, the Lingnan Ministries.

But for their toast, it was a huge blow to them.

The fact that half of the people's tax revenue is given to them alone has caused great harm.

I believe that after today, those people who pay taxes for them will begin to have the idea of exempting themselves from taxes, otherwise they will be biased towards Fangyuan.
