Chapter 496: Dividing Lingnan and Preventing Road Construction is Preventing Tax Exemption

"Husband, your trick is really bad!"

On the way back, Du Miaoyan said with a smile.

This way, obviously, is different from the way it came, and there are no more people to watch.

When I came, there were hostile natives on both sides of the mountain road from time to time, but now there are no more.

It can be seen that Fang Yuan's three-year tax exemption policy makes them grateful to Fang Yuan and no longer hostile to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan laughed, in a very good mood.

"Master, the disciple is puzzled."

"The teacher is obviously for the benefit of the people, pouring the grace of the sky, why is your trick really bad?"

Zhang Ji followed behind the two and asked puzzled.

"You misunderstood, I'm not talking about the damage to the people, but the real damage to the local toast."

Du Miaoyan said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Ji still didn't understand.

Although Tusi is the leader of various tribes, he is actually the common people of Lingnan.

And they are still big households, they pay more taxes, and it should be a good thing for them to be exempt from taxes for three years.

"I'll tell you."

"Of the dozen or so officials just now, I heard at least seven of them mention the issue of taxes."

"The Tusi of the various departments in Lingnan are still very strong, and they have a lot of people and land in their hands, and most of these people do not pay taxes to the imperial court, but pay taxes to the Tusi."

"I launched a three-year tax exemption policy, what will those people who only pay taxes to Tusi think, will they want to be tax-free for three years like other people?"

"In this way, the local toast will be exempted from taxes for three years, and if so, will the people who originally supported them still support them?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Wise Teacher!"

Zhang Ji's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said excitedly.

I see, I understand that the purpose of the teacher is actually the local toast.

If you want to enter Lingnan, the real problem that needs to be solved is the problem of Tusi and the people's sense of belonging.

The three-year tax exemption policy seems to be a great benefit to the people of Lingnan, but it also gives the local toast a heavy burden.

No matter what they do, they will lose the support of some of the people, and the day when they will become popular in Lingnan is just around the corner.

The other side.

After the local officials returned, they immediately issued arrangements for the county government.

On the one hand, it is to announce the three-year tax exemption policy of Fangyuan, as well as the conditions for tax exemption.

On the other hand, the policies that they had originally piled up also took this opportunity to implement at the same time.

"In the name of the county government, bypass the leaders of the tribes, notify the local respected elders, and tell them that the county government will cooperate with the king of Lingnan to build the road, and the day when the road is successfully repaired is the day when the tribe is exempt from taxes."

"In addition, those who participate in the construction of the road are paid and provided with two meals."

The local prefectural orders successively contacted the ministries according to their ideas.

Some people contact the local toast directly, but more often than not, they bypass the toast to contact the people.

It can be seen that many officials have also understood that the policy here is not very friendly to Toast.

Soon, the tribes learned of the county government's plan one after another.

Respected people have organized manpower to prepare to respond to the call of the county government.

But there are also those who disagree, and they ask for the approval of the Tusi before they can respond to the call of the county government.

"What I want to tell you is that road construction is related to our three-year tax exemption policy, and whoever doesn't do it is everyone's sinner."

"Master Tusi has us people in mind, he will definitely not have any opinions, and he will definitely support the Lingnan King to implement a three-year tax exemption."

Respected people from all over the country already know about the powerful relationship from the county government.

So it doesn't matter if the toast knows it or not, the key is that they must respond to this policy, otherwise the three-year tax exemption will have nothing to do with them.

Whoever doesn't do it is a sinner for all!

As soon as this sentence came out, those who wanted to oppose it did not dare to object!

Thus, the various tribes had already begun before the Toast had yet to announce the beginning.

The county government sent people to dig roads and prepare for road construction according to Fang Yuan's requirements.

"Damn, someone in my tribe has already started without permission!"

At the meeting of the various toasts in Lingnan, Mu Yuanxi said angrily.

They met again to discuss how to deal with Fountain's three-year tax exemption.

But before the meeting was over, they received that there were already people in the tribe who had responded to the policy to build roads.

And it is said that whoever does not do it is a sinner for everyone!

As soon as these words come out, who dares to stop them?

"It's the same with my tribe!"

"Do you have any ideas, don't you come quickly, waiting for the King of Lingnan to ride on our heads?"

Feng Laiyi said with a terrible look in his eyes.

Their Feng tribe is managed by women.

The biggest reason is that their Feng clan controls huge fields, and most of the people in the tribe work for them.

Now that Fang Yuan suddenly has a tax-free policy, those people below the Feng clan must have grievances, which is a huge test for the Feng clan to control the tribe.

If it is not handled well, their Feng clan may be ousted from power, and they may be destroyed by the people of the tribe.

"Accept your fate!"

"With such a big benefit as tax exemption for three years, the people of our tribe will definitely respond."

"What we can do is to respond to this policy, otherwise what awaits us is to be eaten by the people of our own tribe."

Youtusi sighed and said.

Many people have seen the situation clearly and know that nothing can be done.

If the road is prevented, it is to prevent the implementation of the tax policy, that is, to prevent the people from reaping the benefits.

When there was no king of Lingnan, the Tusi felt that it was okay to suppress the people of their tribe.

But there is already a king in Lingnan, if he and others do not do well in this matter, and the king of Lingnan raises his arms, what else will happen to them?

"I'm not reconciled!"

"Can I make an appointment with King Lingnan?"

Feng Laiyi said in a deep voice.

This policy was too hard for their Feng clan.

As a last resort, Feng Laiyi absolutely did not agree to implement such a policy.

"What did you do with him, did you kill him?"

A toast asked.

"I want to kill him, do you dare to bear the consequences?"

Feng Laiyi's cold eyes swept over the toasts present.

"Hmph, you're going crazy, you're going crazy, don't get involved with us."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the response policy is inevitable, so let's disperse."

Some toast stood up in fright.

Drop two sentences and leave.

The other toasts did the same, and they left one after another.

In the end, Feng Laiyi and Mu Yuanxi were left and the other three toasts.

In total, there were only five toasts trying to stop Fang Yuan's policy.

"There are five people, and that's enough."

"I'll find someone to meet the king of Lingnan, and you will go with you when the time comes."

Feng Laiyi said in a deep voice.

The five of them then had a detailed discussion.

An hour later, Feng Laiyi contacted the local county government to ask for a meeting with Fang Yuan.

The five toasts came over at the same time, and the local county government naturally wanted to give some face, so they sent a letter to Fang Yuan.

On the second day, Fang Yuan's letter came back, asking Feng Laiyi and the others to go to Wuling County to find Fang Yuan.

"How daring, he even let us go to him!"

Feng Laiyi and the others were very unhappy.

But now they want to see Fang Yuan, so they can only obediently set off from Wuling County.

Along the way, they came to Wuling County very smoothly and met Fang Yuan at the county office.

"You are the King of Lingnan?"

"Blame the young ones!"

Feng Laiyi and the others were shocked.

I didn't expect Fang Yuan to be such a young person.

They had never asked Fang Yuan's age, they only knew that Fang Yuan was a very powerful person.

When I saw it today, it was very unexpected, and for a while, I despised Fang Yuan because of Fang Yuan's age.

"That's right, this king is the king of Lingnan."

"What are you looking for this king?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Feng Laiyi was also very young, but Fang Yuan was not surprised.

Toast is a family inheritance system, and it is possible to be young or old.

As if it were an imperial succession, it was not surprising that the emperor was young or not.

"We are the toast of Lingnan, and the king of Lingnan doesn't even entertain a stool and a cup of tea?"

Feng Laiyi's eyes sank, and she said coldly.

"This is the county government, not a place to entertain people, and there are not so many stools for you to sit on."

"Since you feel wronged, then follow this king to visit Wuling County, and talk as you go."

Fang Yuan got up and said indifferently.

As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of the county office.

Feng Laiyi and the others' eyes sank again, and anger was already welling up in their eyes.

They came all the way, and they were already very tired, so they didn't give them a seat, and they had to talk as they walked.

The five didn't want to follow, but seeing that Fang Yuan had already walked to the door, they could only follow.

"King Lingnan, I hope you can withdraw the three-year tax exemption policy!"

Feng Laiyi said in a deep voice.

"There are twenty-six Lingnan toasts, but only five of you have come."

"Is it understandable that the three-year tax exemption policy implemented by this king is supported by twenty-one toasts and five toasts are opposed?"

Fang Yuan said as he walked.

Lingnan Toast came to find him, Fang Yuan guessed.

But there were only five of them, which surprised Fang Yuan.

"We are representatives, and we don't need everybody to come."

Mu Yuanxi said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"It's not good to have a lot of people, we have no opinion as the representative of the King of Lingnan, right?"

Feng Laiyi said.

"As a representative, I naturally have no opinion."

"But do you have any proof of representation?"

Fang Yuan bowed his head and walked in front of a community.

This complex has been built and has been moved in.

Downstairs in the community, there are many stores, similar to supermarkets.

People came in and out, smiling and seemingly happy.

"I forgot to bring it for a while."

"But that's not important, we'll make it up to you later."

Feng Laiyi said in a deep voice.

"That's not good, if you don't bring it, you can't prove that you are representatives, but the meaning of the five of you."

"If it's just the five of you, then the king can tell you very clearly, no."

Fang Yuan stood at the door of the community, looking at the situation of the community, and was in a good mood.

This should have been implemented by Zhang Ji or his previous county magistrate after he left.

Nice community, it looks like it's all living well, it's only as high as ten floors.

"King Lingnan, we in Lingnan don't need your policy, if you don't take back your fate, you will be working against all our toasts."

Feng Laiyi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"It's not that the people don't need it, it's that you toast don't need it, right?"

"Truth be told, this king doesn't mind working against all your toasts at all."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Strode towards the community.

The community is guarded by security guards.

But as Fang Yuan walked towards the community, Zhang Ji immediately walked to the front to open the way for Fang Yuan.

The head of a county opens the way, and Fang Yuan can go wherever he wants in Wuling County, even if it is someone else's home.

"You, hubris!"

Feng Laiyi and the others were stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

They followed the source, trying to make a final persuasion.

"What do you think of the living conditions here?"

"Do you think it's much better than the living environment in Lingnan?"

Fang Yuan said to himself.

Feng Laiyi and the others observed the surrounding scene.

At this look, they were suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked farther away.

The birds are singing and the trees are green but not gloomy.

The ground is clean and tidy, and the building is sheltered from the wind and rain.

From this point of view, they feel that the living environment here is better than that of Lingnan.

But, so what?

"This is the more mainstream living environment in Datang at present."

"This king wants to build such a house in Lingnan for more people to live in."

Fang Yuan said loudly.

Residential houses are certainly not the best houses.

But compared to the people who lived in thatched huts, it was very good.

Living in a thatched house, a gust of wind, a gust of rain, people have to worry about whether the house will be blown away, leaking, etc.

But the community house is different, in addition to the trouble up and down, and the ability to cultivate their own fields as desired, it is really good.

And the ground floor below has corresponding living measures, as long as there is money, life is not a problem, basic industrialization has sprouted.

"Your Highness, my Feng tribe doesn't need these things!"

"Similarly, my Feng tribe doesn't need a three-year tax exemption policy!"

Feng Laiyi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The three-year policy has already dealt a heavy blow to their tribe.

If Fang Yuan created such an environment in Lingnan, the people would have to leave their tribe.

For the tribe governed by women, Feng Laiyi did not allow such a situation to occur, and the people of the tribe were absolutely not allowed to leave the tribe.

"King Lingnan, my Mu tribe doesn't need these things."

Mu Yuanxi said in a deep voice.

The other three tribes also spoke.

"Actually, it's not that your tribe doesn't need it, it's that you don't need it."

"Is the Feng tribe, I heard that your Feng tribe is the only tribe in Lingnan where a woman is in charge."

"To be honest, this king still admires this, it is very difficult for a woman to be in charge, and she is still managing such a large tribe."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, looked at Feng Laiyi and said.

Regarding the situation of the various departments in Lingnan, Fang Yuan had already collected information and learned about their situation.

"Since the King of Lingnan knows that the Feng tribe is difficult, then don't persecute it again and again."

Feng Laiyi's heart trembled, and her tone softened slightly.

To be honest, it was the first time she had heard others say this, and it was not easy to understand them as women.

"No, Lingnan belongs to this king, and what this king does will not change because of one or two of you."

"But if your Feng tribe is willing to submit, this king can give you some care."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said in a firm tone.

"What care?"

Feng Laiyi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

Mu Yuanxi and the others changed their eyes and looked at each other.

Since the Feng tribe has taken care of it, then they can't be spared, right?

After all, they are all here to ask for an explanation, and appeasement should be appeased together.
