Chapter 14: The Dispute between the Military and the Government
After Ning Yue gave the order, Luo Yaoji began to execute it in private, with 100,000 garrisons controlling all parts of Qianzhou, everything went extremely smoothly, and no one rejected the arrival of the Xia immigrants.
The propaganda made by Li Xukong's side in the Xia Kingdom is also very good, in the first month, it was only a curtain of less than 1,000 immigrants, but with the later propaganda and Li Xukong's efforts, in the next few months, tens of thousands of people in the Xia Kingdom were migrated in one go.
If it was just such a number of migrants, Ning Yue's side really wouldn't pay too much attention to it, but as Nan Sheng brought information to inform Ning Yue that most of the tens of thousands of Xia Kingdom migrants summoned by Li Xukong were businessmen and craftsmen, Ning Yue was satisfied and continued to ask the garrison to cooperate.
Ning Yue saw from this point that Li Xukong had a clear goal, and the merchants he recruited could speed up the trade process between Xia and Qianzhou, and the craftsmen could exchange the crafts of the two places and produce the goods needed by both sides.
For this reason alone, Ning Yue felt that Li Xukong could be regarded as a first-class capable official.
Li Xukong's subsequent actions were indeed not what Ning Yue expected, with merchants and craftsmen who emigrated to Qianzhou, he accelerated the political affairs and trade management in various places, and opened up the trade routes between Qianzhou and Xia at the fastest speed, bringing a fresh vitality to Qianzhou after the war.
Ning Yue strongly agreed with this kind of thing that was beneficial to Qianzhou, and Luo Yaoji secretly assisted him to help Li Xukong speed up the governance of Qianzhou's government affairs.
In the past few months, all the towns in Qianzhou have benefited from Li Xukong's unleashed management of government affairs, and you can feel that the cohesion of Qianzhou has become stronger for the people to rebuild better, and all the people living in the territory of Qianzhou are seeing with their own eyes day by day, and the vitality of Qianzhou is constantly recovering.
The people of Qianzhou have a vision of a new life, and the reconstruction of all parts of Qianzhou has become in full swing, in this case, Ning Yue and Li Xukong have coincidentally paid attention to the tax revenue in Qianzhou.
Ning Yue's idea is simple, now he has a total of more than 100,000 garrisons in the open and dark places all over Qianzhou, plus Qian Kunzong's large-scale recruitment of disciples, it is also equivalent to an additional way to recruit troops in disguise, and he needs a lot of money to build a garrison.
Li Xukong's side is also out of consideration for the government affairs of Qianzhou, if you want to make the agricultural business in Qianzhou run quickly, you must have enough taxes, which must reduce the expenditure on military affairs, so that you can pay enough taxes to Daxia at the same time, but also ensure that he has enough financial reserves in his hands.
In this way, Ning Yue and Li Xukong had a dispute over political affairs for the first time.
Although the two of them did not meet in Qianyuan City and Zhuchuan City, even if Ning Yue understood some of Li Xukong's methods, he still would not hand over such a large amount of finance as grain taxes.
In the next period of time, the number of meetings between Ning Yue and Luo Yaoji and Nan Sheng became more and more, and Li Xukong was still unwilling to give up the tax after all, and began to arrange it everywhere in Qianzhou, meddling in the taxes that Ning Yue had caught in his hands.
It's just that Ning Yue's military power is in hand, coupled with Nan Sheng's quick information reporting, as well as Luo Yaoji's flexible response, whether it is Qian Kunzong or the garrisons everywhere have been built by Ning Yue, Li Xukong's successive methods have been frustrated, not only can he not compete for taxes at all, but he also recognizes Ning Yue, the governor of Qianzhou, the real control ability of Qianzhou.
After several open and secret battles, Ning Yue only took precautions and did not make any counterattack against Li Xukong. After all, for a period of time, he was optimistic about the government affairs that Li Xukong did in Qianzhou, and everything he did was for the sake of Qianzhou, even if he competed with him for taxes, it was not for his own selfishness.
Li Xukong began to stop, but this matter was obviously not over, one evening, Nan Sheng rushed to the Qian Kunzong hall where Ning Yue was located to report, his expression was a little surprised, and he just said a word.
"Li Void is here, only a few guards with him, and he will come to Irichuan City in half a day, and one of his personal guards brought a letter, saying that he asked you to open it in person. ”
Ning Yue raised his hand and took a thin envelope from Nan Sheng's hand, and after opening it, he took out a piece of stationery from it and looked at it.
It didn't take long for Ning Yue to look at the content on the letter paper and chuckle, and said to Bai Luoluo, who was curious to come next to him, and Nan Sheng, who had been waiting on the side: "This Li Void is not simple, he suffered a loss before, and he also discovered the crux of the problem, so this time he came to Sichuan City, saying that he was coming to be a guest, and there are some things to discuss with me in detail." ”
In addition to cultivating, Bai Luoluo also paid attention to Ning Yue's frequent mention of Li Void recently, and couldn't help but ask: "This Li Void is really bold, isn't he afraid that he will come to Chengchuan City, and he will never be able to leave when the time comes?"
Ning Yue smiled and reached out to rub Bai Luoluo's hair, but the girl jumped to the side flexibly, pressing her hair to make a posture that would not let you touch it.
Ning Yue couldn't help laughing louder, pointed at Bai Luoluo with his finger, and said, "Usually when you listen to things, you only know a little about it. This Li Void is not simple, unlike those people we met before, he is doing practical things, practical things that are beneficial to Qianzhou, so I will give him such a chance to see what he wants to say. ”
Nan Sheng nodded on the side and said, "Since the adults are going to see him, I'll go and ask someone to prepare." ”
Ning Yue stretched out his hand to summon Nan Sheng and said, "Since he has come to me, he can be regarded as a guest, so prepare a table of banquets, he is light and simple, and he doesn't need to be too guarded." ”
Nan Sheng nodded yes, and saw that Ning Yue still had something to say, so he continued to listen.
Ning Yue thought about it again before he spoke again and said to Nan Sheng: "Also, go and sort out the existing information on the Tuntian in various places in Qianzhou and give it to me to see, in addition, all the current tax items in Qianzhou will also be sorted out for me, and the industries that are born from these taxes will also be described in detail......
Nan Sheng nodded seriously, Ning Yue usually handed over these affairs to their henchmen to deal with, and now mentioning it shows that Ning Yue is concerned about these things.
So she decided to go for a while and sort out this information as soon as possible, after all, there was only half a day left before Li Xukong rushed to enter Sichuan City.
Ning Yue groaned, walked around the courtyard a few more times, and when he looked at Nan Sheng again, he told her to prepare some other materials and send them as soon as possible.
Nan Sheng took note carefully, and saw that Ning Yue had no other instructions, so he left quickly, and it didn't take long for the materials that Ning Yue needed to be sent over.
