Two more days passed in a hurry.

In the past two days, Chang Gong has really been like an 'ant on a hot pot', anxious up and down, and from time to time he will find Xiao Jing's side, but this is blocked by Xiao Jing with 'still preparing'.

Changgong also knew that this was all Xiao Jing's excuse, but he couldn't, looking at Shanwu County, only Xiao Jing could have the strength to support Shanwu City.

Yanmen City can support, but the distance between the two places is too far for the distant water to relieve the near fire, so there is no way to ......

And what's even worse is that Liu Ku didn't know if he found anything, so he directly came to a 'confession and leniency', and actually presented all the 'field products' of Da Liu Town to Xiao Jing......

This move completely made Chang Gong dumbfounded, the only chip in his hand was gone, and he couldn't bear it.

"Damn Liu Ku underestimated you, and actually hid such a hand!!"

In the past two days, the more he noticed Xiao Jing's perfunctory, the more he hated Liu Ku who gave him a knife behind his back.

You must know that the 'field property' is nominally owned by Liu Ku, but the owner behind it is the county magistrate.

Just like Xiaohezhuang, most of the fields in the village are nominally the 'owners' of Xiaohezhuang, but the actual owners behind them are the Shanwu Zhao family......

This is also the reason why he hates Liu Ku so much!

Not to mention how the Changgong is, the days of Xiaojing have been very comfortable.

Practice martial arts every day and read books.

In terms of grain collection and taxation, Liu Ku surrendered before the battle, and the progress was extremely smooth.

After all, even the biggest landlord in the town has been reduced, and only those wealthy merchants in the town who are far inferior to Liu Ku have no resistance, and they are not honestly 'paid' taxes, grains, and taxes.

However, secretly, Xiao Jing heard many wealthy businessmen scolding 'Liu Ku'......

"My lord, at present, all the taxes and taxes and grain in Daliu Town have been collected, with about 500,000 units of grain and 237 taels of gold!"

Next to him, Niu Yang stood respectfully, holding an account book, and said.

When Xiao Jing heard this, his brows furrowed, and he motioned to look at the account book: "Niu Youzhi, this tax grain seems to be a little wrong, and the quantity seems to be a lot worse?" ”

Niu Yang handed over the account book and smiled helplessly,

"Tell the lord that in recent days, the continuous drought has reduced the yield in the field, and the original mu of grain field can produce 90~110 units of grain, but now it will produce up to 70 units, and the tax grain will naturally ......."

Xiao Jing took the account book, flipped through it, and said casually: "Then the more than 9,000 acres of grain land in Liu Ku's hands have ever been recorded in the official account?" ”

Niu Yang cautiously looked up at Xiao Jing, and said cautiously: "Lord, there is a big difference between this official field and a private field......

Well?!!

Xiao Jing's heart moved, and he glanced at Niu Yang with a little appreciation.

In his impression, he is the mayor of Daliu Town, and the entire Daliu Town is his, so the grain field is subconsciously recorded in the official account.

But he didn't expect that Da Liu Town nominally belonged to the 'big man', if he was suddenly transferred away, wouldn't he have no place to cry, although the probability was extremely small, but he couldn't help but admit that there was such a probability......

And, at the moment, he really needs a private 'little vault'!

Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, those grain fields will be recorded in my private treasury first, and if any of you make meritorious contributions in the future, I will also have land to reward!" ”

Niu Yang wiped his sweat, rejoiced in his heart, and said, "Good! ”

"By the way, Xu Tai's mission is complete? Is there anything wrong with escorting the people? Xiao Jing suddenly thought of Xu Tai and asked.

Niu Yang replied: "Lord Xu has returned yesterday and is currently resting in the town!" ”

Xiao Jing nodded in understanding, and suddenly said, "The imperial tax envoy hasn't sent anyone over yet?" ”

Niu Yang shook his head and said, "No! ”

"This tax envoy hasn't been dispatched yet, and it seems that there is no more turmoil in the court!"

muttered, Xiao Jing didn't think much about it, and instead looked at the account book seriously, thinking about how many soldiers he could probably raise with the money in his current hands.

"The thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers don't need to be paid at present, they only need to spend food, and the food consumption is about 90,000 units (3*1000*30)/month!"

"Terracotta warriors and wind cavalry don't need to consume food, but their monthly salary is about 460,000 copper coins!"

"More than 200 units of Xiangyong and 200 units of pikemen not only need food, but also need salaries, about 180,000 copper coins and 25,000 units of grain per month."

Counting this, Xiao Jing suddenly felt a little painful, and an inexplicable sense of lack of money arose.

"It would be nice if the big man didn't collect taxes!" Xiao Jing sighed.

[Great Han Law: Taxes]: All localities need to pay 60% of the collected taxes and taxes to the imperial court, and other outputs are not required!

[Dahan Law: Tax Supplement]: There are no fixed requirements for taxation in various places, but if the tax is too different from the previous month and the year before last, the official is regarded as a 'mediocre' person (for three consecutive months, it is 'mediocre', depreciating!). (Note: Disaster years and harvest years will be adjusted according to the situation!) ）

It can be said that 60% of Dahan's tax revenue took away most of the output of Daliu Town, and he could only get 200,000 units of 500,000 units of grain, and he could only get 100 taels of 237 gold.

Without the terrifying tax rate of the Great Han, the army that he can feed will be more than tripled......

"Soon, with the current situation that the Han can't send the tax envoys, I'm afraid it's not far from this day, and then it's really the time when the lord is rising!!"

Xiao Jing took a deep breath and muttered, with an expectant glint in his eyes!

A fallen man is a good man!

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Daliu Town needs to pay attention to building water conservancy and saving water!" Xiao Jing admonished.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to Niu Yang and said:

"The weather is getting drier and drier, and it is inevitable that grain production will decrease, so a notice was issued to the merchants in the city: buy grain in large quantities and hoard it!"

Grain is a strategic item, he needs to prepare early, after all, in his vague memory, it seems that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many years when grain was underproduced!

"Yes!!"

……

"Tell your lord, the 'Yellow Turban Spy' caught by his subordinates is said to be 'a gift of heavy treasures', and I want to see my lord, so I hereby report it!"

In the mayor's mansion of Daliu Town, the jailer's passage interrupted Xiao Jing, who was immersed in the book.

He put down the "Thirty-six Strategies" in his hand and listened to the system in his ear:

"Ding, congratulations to the player for reading "Thirty-six Strategies", deepening his understanding of Thirty-six, and his strategy attribute +1, reaching 34 points!"

Xiao Jing frowned slightly and sighed, "I still haven't been able to comprehend the strategy!" That's it for today's learning! ”

Thinking about it, Xiao Jing raised his head and looked at the jailer, his brows furrowed slightly.

Yellow Turban Spies?! Those players?!

Hearing the report from the jailer, Xiao Jing remembered that the patrol soldiers were all over the past two days, and the 'Yellow Turban Spy' he caught was actually a player.

He had planned to meet these players when he had his free time, after all, he would meet more and more players as his territory grew larger.

As for the handling of these players, it is necessary to set the tone as soon as possible to facilitate future management......

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing said to the jailer: "I will meet the 'Yellow Turban Spy', you go and bring him up!" ”

"Yes!!"
