However, just when Zhu Jun was about to leave in frustration, Ye Zhiying suddenly stopped him.

Ye Zhiying shouted: "City Lord Zhu, stay." ”

Zhu Jun turned his head suspiciously and asked, "Is there anything else Mr. Ye has to do?"

Ye Zhiying smiled and said, "I can probably guess that City Lord Zhu, your difficulty, is nothing more than some soldier leaders and some merchant leaders going to your place to grind their mouths, right?" However, the city lord of Zhu does not have to feel embarrassed, let alone feel sorry for those soldiers and merchants, since the entry tax began to be strict, I have already thought about some things in the future, the soldiers' side, you can give them some military salaries appropriately, and the soldiers who strictly enforce the city gate tax collection on the day can get rich rewards, even if there is a gap with the money they got from the small greed before, but it is enough to give them an explanation, so that guarding the city gate is still a fat difference. ”

Hearing Ye Zhiying say this, Zhu Jun hurriedly thanked those soldiers and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Ye for them." ”

Although he failed to restore the same system as before, Zhu Jun also knew that tolerating the soldiers' greed for money and tax evasion was always not the right way, and getting this result from Ye Zhiying could be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers.

Ye Zhiying waved his hand, signaling that Zhu Jun didn't have to be so polite, and then Ye Zhiying continued: "As for the merchants, Lord Zhu, you can convey it to them......

We did not force them to bring in their goods for our protection, and if they were unwilling to pay taxes, let them camp outside the city. ”

Although he didn't understand why Ye Zhiying was so intolerant to these businessmen, he Zhu Jun couldn't control them, so he could only do it, after all, there was no problem with Ye Zhiying's decision.

"Okay, Mr. Ye, I'll take my leave first. Zhu Jun saluted Ye Zhiying slightly, and then left the City Lord's Mansion.

After Zhu Jun left, a man with a mustache walked into Ye Zhiying's room, and this person was one of the four internal force level masters recruited by Ye Zhiying.

"Mr. Ye, what's going on?" asked the mustache to Ye Zhiying.

Ye Zhiying asked without raising his head: "Are you ready for the preparations I asked you to make?"

The mustache smiled and said: "What Mr. Ye explained is just a piece of cake, although the people gathered now are only a rabble in strength, but no matter what, it can be regarded as a bit of a scale." ”

Ye Zhiying still looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Very good, then everything will go according to plan, so that we can quickly raise enough funds to start." ”

Although Ye Zhiying had already explained that he would act according to the plan, the mustache did not leave, but asked, "But Mr. Ye, does Mr. Qin know about this matter?"

Hearing Xiaozi ask this, Ye Zhiying finally put down the file, glanced up at Xiaozi, and said: "He doesn't know, he doesn't need to know, with his personality, it is impossible to agree to this matter, and I also know that you want to follow Qin Wu to achieve great things, not to do these tasteless things."

But now the situation is special, the Han State has been captured, we must raise enough money and troops as soon as possible, in order to be involved in this war, if only according to the various taxes of the post city to operate, although it can also be raised, but it will take a lot of time, after all, the city defense army of the post city is also a big expense, and when we are ready for everything, I am afraid that we have lost many opportunities.

So, we have to do this, we don't have that much time to accumulate slowly, if the four of you feel that this is difficult and you feel that your conscience is unbearable, then I can only apologize to you here first.

You have to believe that what I am doing now must be to make the world better in the future, although I am very sorry for those innocent people, but I am not that I did not give them a chance, it is that they themselves do not want to cherish it, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted, and please don't feel bad about the four of you, at least, you will not hurt their lives. ”

The mustache nodded silently and said, " Mr. Ye doesn't have to worry about this, we have all come to our senses and believe in Mr. Ye's decision, but this matter, we think we should let Mr. Qin know, although Mr. Ye said that Mr. Qin will not agree, but after all, we are gathered together with him as the backbone, if he is unwilling to agree to Mr. Ye's plan, it means that he is not yet aware enough, in this way, Mr. Ye should persuade him well, let him change his mind, and forcibly accept it. ”

Ye Zhiying was silent for a moment, and then slowly replied, "Okay, I'll find a way." ”

The mustache arched his hand to Ye Zhiying and said, "Then Mr. Ye, I will retire first." ”

Ye Zhiying nodded and said: "Well, arrange the people who have been summoned as soon as possible, and you will be able to start the operation in two days, but you also have to be careful, although you are going to plunder, those traders who don't know where to hide overnight are okay, but if it is a merchant caravan that dares to be stationed outside the city, there must be a certain number of guards, and there may be some powerful masters inside, try not to cause casualties." ”

"Understood. The mustache nodded, and then left the City Lord's Mansion.

After the mustache left, Ye Zhiying did not continue to look through the letters with information, but walked to the windowsill, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and was in a daze for a while.

Ye Zhiying looked at the sky and said to himself: "I don't want to pay taxes, hehe, since you don't want to pay taxes, then you must be ready not to go into the city to accept protection, right?"

Even in the past, when tax evasion was possible, these merchants did not bring all the goods into the city, after all, the benefits received by the soldiers defending the city would also be given according to the overall quantity, if there were too many goods and too little money given, those soldiers who guarded the city would naturally not let them pass easily, so most of the caravans would leave the things they sold in other places outside the city, and generally left the city directly after selling the things sold in the post city.

And Ye Zhiying is now in urgent need of raising a lot of funds, so he naturally set his sights on these caravans, anyway, they are not in the post city, even if they are taken away, they can't blame the post city, and when these merchants know the danger outside the city, they will definitely not feel sorry for the city entry tax, after all, compared with all the goods, what is the value of paying a little tax? And whether they are stationed outside, or go to the city to seek refuge, Ye Zhiying still earns it.
