Chapter 15: Joy (2)

Lu Xukong's eyes lit up slightly, but he still asked a little hesitantly: "Reclamation of wasteland is indeed a real government, but this person is a little embarrassed......

Ning Yue smiled and raised his hand to invite wine, Li Xukong drank with him, and after Ning Yue put down the wine glass, he said again: "Lord Zhou Mu has been in Qianzhou for a few months, and he has an understanding of some customs in Qianzhou. ”

Ning Yue raised his hand to draw a circle, squinted his eyes and said: "In this case, it is because the Nine Heavens Heaven Realm is rich in materials, so the vast majority of people feel that fishing and hunting is more convenient and easy than farming, and they can obtain actual benefits faster, but although there is a lot of manpower spent on fishing and hunting, the combined grain production is far less than stable farming, so I suggest that adults start from this situation, restrict fishing and hunting, and let them open up pits and wasteland, so that the tax revenue will be more stable and abundant every season and year." ”

Li Xukong nodded while listening, Ning Yue said in the end, he couldn't help but praise loudly, and said: "This plan of Manager Bai is indeed novel, if it can be implemented and lead countless fishermen and hunters to engage in farming, the results are indeed expected." ”

Ning Yue saw that Li Void was moved, smiled and invited wine again, the two drank a few glasses in a row, the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed, and they also began to eat the dinner party freely.

After Luo Yaoji watched Ning Yue and Li Xukong talk, she was happy, and her eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when she looked at Ning Yue.

After learning the news of Li Xukong's arrival, Ning Yue directly summoned her over to help Nan Sheng sort out some information.

She had suggested that she must be extremely tough when dealing with Li Xukong, so that the other party would not dare to make any unfavorable moves against the garrison, although Luo Yanshi and the others did not come, but the suggestions that came were all like this.

But Ning Yue didn't do it in their way, when sorting out the information, he just said that Li Void was not a bad person, as long as he could find a win-win way, Li Void would definitely not go against them.

Subsequently, Ning Yue put forward the theory of opening up sources and reducing expenditures, saying that although there seem to be a lot of taxes in Qianzhou now, it is absolutely impossible to use these taxes to do everything well, so in the disagreement that needs to reduce expenditure, I can't help but think about how to open up a large source and increase tax revenue.

Luo Yaoji thought at first that Ning Yue wanted to increase the types of taxes, so he couldn't help but persuade him, but he immediately heard Ning Yue's theory of opening up wasteland and heavy farming, and was quickly convinced.

So now that she watched Li Xukong being persuaded by Ning Yue, she also felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in her heart, feeling that Ning Yue was different from ordinary people.

Li Xukong got such a good suggestion, and his perception of Ning Yue couldn't help but be much better, and he was also smiling during the banquet, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ning Yue's method was extremely ingenious, and his skills would increase taxes, and he would not waste money and money.

After three rounds of drinking, Ning Yue put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xukong seriously, and said, "I just offered a plan to the state pastor, I have another plan here, please take a look." ”

Hearing this, Luo Yaoji immediately took out another wooden box and carefully placed it on the table in front of Li Xukong.

Li Xukong couldn't hide the surprise in his expression, pointed to the wooden box, looked at Ning Yue, and said, "Isn't there another clever plan here that is no less than before?"

Ning Yue just smiled and drank, and tapped the wooden box with his finger.

Li Xukong personally opened the wooden box this time and took out the information that Ning Yue had sorted out.

Luo Yaoji's voice also sounded at this time: "This list summarizes the production of Qianzhou and the surrounding countries of Qianzhou, and summarizes the prices of seasonal products. ”

Li Xukong's eyes lit up again when he heard this, the indifferent look on his face almost disappeared, he clenched the information in his hand, and asked Ning Yue: "Isn't it that Manager Bai also thinks that the merchants are prosperous and can bring benefits to Qianzhou?"

This is not Li Void and suspicious, the previous information on Ning Yue also encouraged farming, this is the basis of taxation, people's lives are inseparable from food, if it is done well, it can make the people full of food and clothing, and the people's livelihood taxes are beneficial.

However, there are many risks involved in the actions of merchants, who take the lead in profit, and who carry goods, which is not quite the same as a prudent agricultural tax.

Ning Yue saw Li Xukong's doubts, and replied with a smile: "This merchant is indeed different from farming, the merchant pays attention to huge profits, I saw that the lord has recruited a large number of merchants and craftsmen from the Xia country, and is working hard to open up the trade routes with the Xia country, so I thought why can't I just open all the trade routes of the surrounding neighboring countries, in this way, as long as there is a success, it will be enough to make up for the loss of all the trade routes......"

Li Xukong laughed happily, raised his hand and raised the information in his hand, and said to Ning Yue: "With these preparations of the chief manager, it really makes me confident and prosperous businessmen, so it can be expected." ”

Seeing this, Ning Yue raised his glass and drank another glass with Li Xukong.

After Ning Yue put down the wine glass, he said in a low voice: "I wish you success, if this trade route is opened and the merchants are prosperous, they will definitely be able to collect tax profits from it, and there will be no less." ”

Li Xukong was quite happy when he got Ning Yue's two suggestions, but when he heard Ning Yue's words, he couldn't help but move.

When he came this time, the original purpose was to try to persuade Ning Yue to hand over some of the heavy taxes in his hands, but he didn't expect Ning Yue to directly give him two heartwarming suggestions, if successful, he could increase a large amount of taxes without disturbing the people.

In this way, even if Ning Yue intercepted some of them to build a garrison, it would not be a big deal.

Li Xukong had a plan in his heart, and he didn't talk about taxes at the dinner, but he and Ning Yue had a good meal, and they didn't have any worries, and the two of them took the opportunity to deepen their understanding of each other, and the relationship became a lot warmer.

The next day, Li Xukong did not leave from Ichuancheng in a hurry, and seriously went to the Beicheng military camp with Ning Yue to check it out.

This time, Li Xukong also had to admit that Ning Yue had a tough wrist, and in such a new area as Qianzhou, he actually had such a strong army in his hands, and it seemed that he was even comparable to the four major guards of the Terracotta Temple.

One day later, Li Xukong and his entourage left and hurried back to Qianyuan City, and the two policies suggested by Ning Yue were soon distributed to all towns and villages in Qianzhou.

Qianzhou suddenly gave birth to a new vitality, whether it is the transformation of fishing and hunting into farming, or the opening of a number of trade routes, all of which indicate the prosperity of Qianzhou.
